AG’s office ‘marshaling all resources’ in search for missing West Stewartstown girl BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

WEST STEWARTSTOWN — The Attorney General’s offi ce has taken the lead in the search for the missing 11-year-old Celina Cass, now with help from the FBI. “We are looking for the public’s help and the media’s help to safely locate and bring home Celina Cass,” the state’s FBI supervisor Kieran Ramsey told reporters Wednesday night. “We have deployed our child abduction rapid deployment team, which consists of multiple special agents with specialized experience in child abduction cases.” “We are marshaling all resources available to us — state, federal, local, both New Hampshire and Vermont,” senior assistant attorney general Jane Young said. “The goal of this investigation is to bring Celina home safely.” They are asking people to contact the State Police if they

Cass was last seen at roughly 9 p.m. on July 25 using her computer, wearing a pink shirt and blue shorts. Since then Fish and Game offi cers, State Police and local authorities have taped off her family home and searched a number of local areas without success, and people have posted fliers around the region. The request for help has now extended south of the notches, with a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children fliers going out to media outlets hours from Cass’ home. Beyond the press releases and the brief statements, however, authorities have been reluctant to release much information. Young declined to answer any questions after see GIRL page 8

Clown follows in dad’s giant footsteps BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (NY Times) — Down Clown Alley, in the backstage tent for Circus Smirkus, a slight boy of 14 studies his clown self in a jagged piece of mirror. This is Sam Ferlo, the son of a former circus clown and a former circus showgirl, and the godson of a man once known as the Human Cannonball. Guess what Sam wants to join when he grows up. Seeing the need for a touch more of the garish, the boy dabs a ﬁ nger into the greasepaint he keeps in his most precious possession, a makeup kit that is small, red and well traveled. His every move is watched by the tiny photograph of a clown taped to the inside of the kit’s lid. Practice, this clown tells the boy. Take clowning seriously. And always: Be big. Throughout New England and parts of upstate New York, summer means that the traveling youth circus called Circus Smirkus will once again be pitching its tents on dry-grass ﬁ elds, inviting one and all to see circus acts performed with precision by the summer-camp young. Tightrope walkers. Acrobats. Jugglers. And clowns, but not the scary kind. This year the troupe has nine clowns, including Sam, the smallest.

Boehner delays House vote on plan to raise debt ceiling WASHINGTON (NY Times) — House Speaker John A. Boehner abruptly delayed an expected vote on Republican debt ceiling legislation late Thursday, shifting business on the House ﬂ oor in the middle of the debt debate. The delay came after House lawmakers had already began discussing legislation that would set up a pivotal showdown between the House and the Senate over how to cut spending and increase the debt

limit before the federal government loses its ability to borrow. It was unclear whether Mr. Boehner’s delay might indicate more procedural moves to push a possible vote closer to the deadline, thereby increasing the pressure on the Senate to pass it. A vote on Mr. Boehner’s plan had been expected Thursday evening, but the chair on the House ﬂ oor suddenly interrupted the debate to announce that the House would shift

gears and take up the renaming of a post ofﬁ ce in upstate New York after a war hero. Mr. Boehner had spent two days furiously lobbying freshman Republicans for his plan, which would cut federal spending by $917 billion and provide enough borrowing authority to keep the government solvent until January. But Senate Democratic leaders said that they would waste no time rejecting the legislation if it included the short timeline.

Leader of rebel military in Libya reported killed TUNIS (NY Times) — The head of the Libyan rebels said Thursday that the leader of the opposition’s military forces, General Abdul Fattah Younes, had been assassinated, along with two rebel colonels. But few details were provided about a murky attack that, if conﬁrmed, would represented a major blow to the effort to topple Col. Muammar el-Qaddaﬁ. There were loud gasps at a news conference in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi, Libya, as the head of the opposition Transitional National Council, Mustapha Abdul Jalil, announced the deaths. He said

that one of the people responsible had been arrested, and suggested that the suspect had implicated others in the attack. But, adding signiﬁ cant confusion to the episode, Mr. Abdul Jalil said that the three men had been killed after General Younes was summoned back to Benghazi to appear before a judicial committee to discuss “military matters” and that the bodies had not been recovered. Every effort would be made, he said, “to ﬁnd those criminals and the bodies of the martyrs.”

New hacking case outrages Britain

LONDON (NY Times) — Britain was awash in a new surge of outrage over the phone hacking scandal on Thursday, as news emerged that Scotland Yard had added to the list of probable victims a woman whose 8-year-old daughter was murdered by a repeat sex offender in 2000. The tabloid at the center of the scandal, The News of the World, had championed the campaign of the grieving mother, Sara Payne, for a law warning parents if child sex offenders lived nearby. Mrs. Payne, who was paralyzed by a stroke in recent years, had written warmly of the paper in its ﬁnal edition, calling it “an old friend.” A statement released on behalf of Mrs. Payne by the Phoenix Foundation, a children’s charity she founded, described her as devastated and disappointed. “Today is a very sad dark day for us,” the charity added in a posting on Facebook. “Our faith in good people has taken a real battering.” The page noted that she was struggling in the wake of the July 1 anniversary of her daughter’s abduction.

Teen who crashed into Jackson Covered Bridge found negligent BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — A Conway teen who in February crashed his SUV into the covered bridge in Jackson had his day in court on Wednesday, where he was found guilty of negligent driving. Skylar Struble, 18, was fined $500 and forced to hand over his license for the next 30 days for driving his 1999 Toyota RAV4 into the west end of the bridge on Feb. 19. The bridge had to close for several weeks while the state repaired the damage. It cost thousands of dollars, which Struble’s insurance ultimately paid. His lawyer, Donald Ekberg, argued the car’s steering malfunctioned as Struble approached the bridge. The car had just had power steering work done, Ekberg said, though no evidence of the work was entered into evidence. Struble was traveling at roughly the posted speed limit of 30 mph, Ekberg said, but the steering failure caused him to hit the bridge. Struble testifi ed it was his fi rst time ever driving across the bridge. He was on his way home to Center Conway from Black Mountain after a day teaching skiing.

Struble was 17 at the time of the accident. “Now I realize the Jackson Covered Bridge is the Jackson Covered Bridge,” Ekberg said, but “that is what we call an accident,” not a case of negligence. He called the incident “political,” because of the bridge’s iconic status and because it was closed during a school vacation week. “Sometimes a crash is an accident,” Jackson police prosecutor Doug Jettes said. “Unfortunately this is not one of those times.” In Struble’s statement to police from the day of the accident, Jettes said, Struble said he was going “at least” 25 to 35 mph as he approached the bridge, indicating he may have been going faster than the posted speed limit of 30 mph. Struble has a history of speeding, with two tickets for driving 16 to 20 mph over the posted limit on his driving record. There is a sign 400 feet before the bridge, Jettes said, which warns the road goes down to one lane. Most people start slowing down at the sign, he said, but Struble waited until 25 feet before the bridge. Jackson police ofﬁ cers testiﬁ ed the road was clear and dry that day, and that the SUV’s tires left 22-foot skid marks

from the pavement into the bridge trusses as Struble tried to stop. Ekberg tried to get the ofﬁ cers to say the roads had a dusting of snow, showing them their own photos from the accident scenes, but the ofﬁ cers stuck by their testimony that the roads were dry. The roads were lightly-colored from salt that had dried on the pavement, they said. It was ultimately the photos that swayed Judge Pamela Albee, along with Struble’s own testimony. The pictures show just how serious

Struble’s collision with the bridge was, she said, causing serious damage to both the covered bridge and the vehicle and activating the SUV’s airbags. The sign before the bridge “puts a person on notice,” she said, but Struble didn’t heed it. “He was steering to ‘avoid impact,’” she said, and his actions came “too late in the game.” And with that, judge Albee found Struble guilty. Struble was not seriously injured in the accident.

Crash kills 1, injures 6, shuts down I-95 NORTH HAMPTON — Interstate 95 was closed in both directions after a fatal crash involving a tanker truck and two cars Wednesday night, according to police. Ofﬁ cers said 69-year-old Doris Gardner of Goffstown was killed and six others were injured. State police said the accident happened shortly after 9 p.m. in North Hampton, a few miles north of the Hampton tolls. Authorities said a car, driven by Sylvia Hull, 61, of Sabattus, Maine, was traveling in the

northbound lanes when it collided with a tanker truck. Both vehicles went off the road, crossed the median and veered into southbound trafﬁ c, hitting a car, driven by Alden Milton, 80, of Goffstown, ofﬁcials said. State police said Hull suffered serious injuries in the crash and was taken by helicopter to Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine. Two passengers in Hull’s car suffered minor injuries and were treated and released from the hospital, police said. Authorities said the tanker truck driver also suf-

Hospitals across state continue to eye cuts PAULA TRACY THE UNION LEADER

LACONIA — The largest employer in the Lakes Region, LRGHealthcare, said it does not plan to cut jobs because of cuts in the state Medicaid program, but hopes to trim expenses through attrition and consolidation. LRGHealthcare operates hospitals in both Laconia and Franklin and employs about 1,500, said Natalie H. Rudzinskyj, director of public relations. The hit will amount to between $15 and $20 million, he said. “There is a lot of anxiety out there,” Rudzinskyj said, but there is no plan to eliminate jobs at either hospital.

Meanwhile, hospitals in Dover, Exeter, North Conway and Portsmouth said they are reviewing the effect the Medicaid cuts will have on their operations. On Tuesday, Elliot Hospital in Manchester announced it was laying off 182 people. Southern New Hampshire Medical Center said it was looking at cutting 6 percent of its workforce. Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia and Wentworth-Douglass in Dover are among the 10 hospitals that ﬁled suit in federal court to block changes in New Hampshire Medicaid reimbursement rates. Overall, the state cut $250 million that hospitals use to care for the poor.

One was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, and Gardner was pronounced dead at the scene, state police said. The accident remains under investigation. All lanes of Interstate 95 were reopened to trafﬁ c by 5:30 a.m. Thursday. —Courtesy of WMUR

Mayor Paul Grenier

Mayor’s Report July 29, 2011 It’s that time again already! The summer season is half over and we really can’t complain about the weather we’ve had in the last three weeks or so. As is with the weather, things are heating up in Berlin on the employment front. There are quite a few people from Coos County who are working for RMT at the windmill site in Dummer and in the Phillips Brook area. Despite a rainy start, RMT is about on target to finish as scheduled. RH White, who is the general contractor for the natural gas pipeline project for Gorham Paper and Tissue is also well under way. I’m pleased to say that RH White has sub-contracted much of the work to two highly respected specialty Berlin companies. AR Couture and Nordic Construction Services will be on site for quite some time. Both firms have very highly skilled employees who can handle projects of all magnitudes. Congradulations go out to Chris Hansen and Sonny Couture for keeping local people working in this challenging building industry atmosphere. Speaking of highly respected Berlin companies, I was deeply angered by a Claremont company holding a job fair here in Berlin. In my opinion, they are

attempting to raid Isaacson employees to jump ship and relocate to Claremont. Meanwhile, Isaacson Structural Steel has called back all of their employees for work on Monday. Arnie and Steve and the rest of the senior management team have worked diligently to bring a quick resolution to the liquidity issues that face them. Once the Berlin Station project gets the official go-ahead, it won’t be long after that the Isaacson companies will emerge from Chapter 11. The Isaacson companies always put their employees ahead of profits. Yes, sometimes the grass does appear greener on the other side of the fence, but if good folks leave to go to Claremont to work, what guarantee is there that you won’t get laid off after a short period of time. Also, when you’re the new guy from out of town with little attachment to the new company and the area, that makes you very vulnerable to whims of folks who don’t really know who you are. I predict that Isaacson Structural Steel will emerge from Chapter 11 a lean fighting machine looking to regain their immaculate reputation in the steel building industry. I believe that as a result, the Isaacson companies will get even see REPORT page 5

Ithaca Bound

Writings That Inspire A fortuitous printing error in my article of last week set me off on some deeper thinking about two pieces of writing that hold an honored place on my Read Again shelf. One is the Declaration of Independence itself. In my very brief comment on Independence Day, I noted that John Adams, one of the driving forces behind the move for the adoption of such a statement of Independence, firmly believed that it would be the 2nd of July that would be the day celebrated forever in the annals of America’s history. Despite our insistence on the 4th of July, the actual vote for Independence took place on the 2nd of July, and in a letter to his beloved wife, Abigail, John Adams wrote of it at some length.“The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival.” Adams then went on to describe how he believed the “great anniversary festival” would be celebrated. In this, our nation’s second president would be more than prophetic. With but one exception, John and Abigail Adams would be right at home in how we celebrate Independence Day in contemporary America. Surely, though, they would be deeply disappointed that a public reading of the document itself is seldom at the center of our celebrations. After all, they would say, it is the reason for our celebrations. Why is it not given the most prominent and honored place in the day’s festivities? In re-reading John Adams’ letter to his wife, there was another paragraph that caught the attention and that struck me as being even more relevant to our times. “It may well be the will of Heaven that America will suffer calamities still more wasting,

and distress yet more dreadful. If this is to be the case, it will have this good effect at least. It will inspire us with many virtues which we have not, and correct many errors, follies, and vices which threaten to disturb, dishonor and destroy us. The furnace of affliction produces refinement, in States as well as individuals.” With our nation teetering on an uncertain economic future, and our two major political parties seemingly unwilling to make the comprises that the country’s founders knew were essential to move the country forward, Adams’ words take on ever greater importance. We can only hope that this “furnace of affliction” does indeed produce the necessary “refinement” that allows our nation to move forward, Alongside the Declaration of Independence on my Read Again shelf is Katherine Lee Bates’ beloved poem “America the Beautiful,” first written in July of 1893. Regardless of how many times I have occasion to travel across this country, the words of the poem’s first verse never fail to cross my mind. And I am so thankful that there were those men and women who devoted so much of their lives to the preservation of so much of their nation’s beauty. There is one change that I make when I think of that verse and its accompanying chorus. Rather than the chorus that follows that first verse, I like to use the chorus of the second verse in its place. Here is that chorus. Perhaps you will see why. America! America! God mend thine every flaw. Confirm they soul in self-control; thy liberty in law. (Ithaca Bound is the pen name of Dick Conway. His e-mail address is: ithacabound35@ gmail.com.)

Always remember this, Brown Company filed for bankruptcy in the 1920s and you know successful they became! I was very pleased this past week to roll out the PIL T (payment in lieu of tax) agreement between the city of BerHn and Berlin Station. The benefits for both parties are so signifi cant, there really was no acrimony during the year-long negotiations. The folks at Cate Street Capital, led by John Halle, Alexandra Ritchie, and Chuck Grecco are so paternal and professional, it reminds me of a bygone era. When we sat over a year ago to discuss the concept of a PILT, there was never an atmosphere of mistrust, posturing, or any other impure motives. We both wanted to insure certainty, for Berlin Station a fi xed cost over the life of the project that could be built in their business plan. For the city, it surely is advantageous that

All proceeds from this svent go directly to building and maintaining Millsfield ATV Club trails. Thank you for continued support from the State of New Hampshire, Bayroot and Wagner Management, and Umbagog ATV Club. Everyone had a great time and are looking forward to next year. Millsfield ATV Club we will know how much tax revenue we will get from our soon to be largest taxpayer (cross our fingers). No more legal fi ghts over tax value, no more re-appraising the site every five years as currently required by state law. And the potential of $44,000,000 of tax revenue for 22 plus years will go along way to stabilize our tax base. The citizens of Berlin are the real winners, however. You stuck by me as your mayor, kept encouraging me to push forward. It will be the beginning of the redevelopment of Berlin’s blue collar population, always the backbone of our proud city. Finally, to John Halle, Alex Ritchie, and Chuck Grecco, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for never giving up on Berlin. Together, Cate Street Capital and Lynn Tilton have generated an excitement and opportunities for success that the Androscoggin Valley hasn’t witnessed in generations.

historical exhibit that can be mounted in schools or other public places. The most visible project celebrated at the ceremony is the transformation of the windows on the west wing of the research building. All 24 windows facing Main Street are now covered with painted images from Berlin's 20th century past. The murals range from two adjacent panels of woodsmen cutting down what looks like the same tree in what appears to be the heavily forested north country to panels celebrating products created in the research building laboratories. In between are other images from Berlin life at the time including the ski jump and a ski jumper, housing on the slope of an imaginative-recreation of Mt. Forist with a recognizable St. Joseph's school, logs making their way from the forest to the river and pulp mill, hockey (the image honoring the Poulin family scion who lost his life in the terrible collapse of the arena roof in the winter of 1969) and more. The murals are proving to be a traffi c stopper for people driving by and an entertainment in themselves—a vivid, visual review of Berlin's past. The murals started with an idea, said Project Coordinator Jim Wagner at the Wednesday gathering. "During our environmental cleanup (of the research building) last year at this time," Wagner said, "Keith DuBois of the Department of Environmental Services and I were discussing how best to protect the windows of the west wing. Keith suggested that we engage student art apprentices to paint panels and cover the window frames." Wagner took the idea to Plymouth

State University, speaking with Thaddeus C. Guldbrandsen, director of the Center for Rural Partnerships, and Upham-Bornstein. The concept fi t the Center's goal of using PSU's capacities in collaborative community projects so the PSU art department was enlisted. Prof. Tom Driscoll, coordinator of the PSU painting program, took on the task. He determined that the project would have to be a credit course in order to ensure the students' dedication to getting it done by this spring. With the approval of the art department, he created a special 15-week semester course and quietly recruited 12 students he knew had the talent and would stick with the work involved. And it was involved work. Driscoll estimates the entire project took 1200 hours, "and that's a conservative estimate," he said. The students spent five weeks researching Berlin and the Brown Company. Their first class was a visit to Berlin in mid-winter to see the research building. The research involved much discussion, too, Discoll said. They divided into three groups of four students. Each group developed a theme and concepts for all 24 panels which were the basis for more discussion and critique by the whole group. The next step was to paint the proposed images on two by four inch cards, arrange them as if they were the windows of the research building, and to bring those panels to Wagner for his comments. Once the theme and images had been selected from the 222 proposed,

the images from each two-by-four-inch card had to be transposed to a 4-foot by 8-foot plywood panel, no minor task for the crew. They tried a variety of approaches, including projecting the images and using Photoshop. Altogether, Driscoll estimated, this complex image transfer took two weeks, including the need to refine the images, once they were transposed. The last eight weeks were devoted to the painting—in itself a learning process for the students and for Driscoll. They were used to working in oils which is fairly forgiving and takes time to dry. However, the panel work required using acrylics which dry rapidly. The change in media was a stumbling block until one day Driscoll just dashed the paint on quickly and in no time, the students had acquired that ability to paint quickly and the work proceeded. All the students worked on all the panels so, throughout, the project continued to be a team effort. It did take a little longer than anticipated, as Wagner pointed out in his address to the crowd at the gathering. They had hoped to have the panels in place in time for the beginning of the summer season at Heritage Park, but … The students finished their part by the end of exam week after a last, allday, non-stop painting session. Mark Kelley of White Mountain Lumber, drove to Plymouth with a crew and picked up the panels. White Mountain Lumber had supplied the ACX Fir Plywood panels and had taken them to Plymouth at the beginning of the project, as well. Once back in Berlin, the panels required multiple coatings of weather-

proof varnish, before Dick Merrill and his crew, and Couture Construction's Claude Pigeon and crew could install them in their windows. A last step to complete the mural will be the addition of black-painted plywood panels at either side of each one of the mural panels, to unify the whole and to shutter the window sidelights which have been badly damaged. At the moment, the lights still show at either side of the murals. Driscoll, having never taught a mural course before, is considering what may be next, but, as Cynthia Vascak, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and former chair of the art department pointed out, the students can now say that they are accomplished mural artists. Wagner suggested that these are just 24 panels on a building with 64 windows, but he had no takers …. not, at least, at the Wednesday gathering. Joe Costello, executive director for Tri County CAP noted that "today is about an idea—a group of people with the thought that the research building on Main Street needed help and that thought grew to the murals." The mural artists included: Katie Cotnoir, Craig Maines, Tara Krehbiel, Michelle Boudreau, Kristin Sarette, Elizabeth Dalpe, Sam Smart, Nicole Copple, Meredith Gourley, Nathan Cote, Olivia Benish, and Brittany Connors. cutline: A number of the students who created the new mural panels on the old Brown Research Building stand in front of their work of art with their Plymouth State University professor, Prof. Tom Driscoll, who created the semester-long credit course in which the students researched Berlin history, created the images to include in the mural and painted it.

Mowing Heaven’s Lawn He was a strong man, A hard worker all of his life, He was survived by his daughters, son, Grand children, friends and wife. His joys in life were simple and plain, Though not quite a yawn, And I have no doubt in my mind right now, That he is mowing heaven’s lawn. His family called him Grumps, Because of his dry humor and wit, I bet the other guardian angels, Are now laughing with him quite a bit. He enjoyed every weather change, That Mother Earth bestowed on the planet, He tanned in summer, shoveled winter snow, And never took life for granted. A year has passed since he left this earth, We miss him more then ever, But we feel that his soul, his spirit, his light, Will be in our hearts forever. He was the best pen pal, and devoted baseball fan, A sweat suit wearing, handkerchief using, Mint Life Saver eating kind of man. His laugh was just the best, And his smile from ear to ear, I see him in my mind and heart, And I shed a happy tear. Because I know what is happening at this moment his spirit is living on, Up in the sky with angel wings, He is mowing heaven’s lawn.

We love you in a big way Grumps!

Pirate Tours gives ATV access to everyone BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — Plenty of tourists and locals pour in to Berlin in the summer to take advantage of the many ATV trails in Jericho Mountain State Park and Success. Trails that bring riders to stunning vistas, close to local wildlife and to forestland they might not otherwise see. But what about those who don’t have the means or perhaps courage to get out on an ATV? That’s where Norm Roberge and his new business Pirate Tours comes in. In his six seat Polaris Ranger — which resembles a miniature jeep more than a traditional ATV (complete with seatbelts) — Norm offers guided ATV tours stretching from three to six hours and costing between $40 and $60 per adult and $25 to $40 per child. “There’s more education out here,” said Norm, who teaches fifth and sixth grade in Milan during the winters. He noted that his initial target is the kids

in town at home in front of televisions and video games. Norm said he was thinking about how some kids stay with grandparents in the summer may not have the means to enjoy getting out in the woods. “What about a ride into nature?” he said. So he set his prices reasonable and and will take kids over the age of 10 without an adult. Norm said he started out providing his service for friends and this is his fi rst year as an actual business. He said he has no problem taking the kids fi shing or swimming, taking families for picnics (providing they bring their own food), or just taking folks for a ride. Of course tourists are welcome to use the service too, he said, noting that one woman who had crashed an ATV she rented to keep up with her husband was happy to hear about his service. “Get in, bring a lunch, and let’s go have some fun,” he said. Norm explained that he thinks it

asthma attack. Using inhalers, Michell was able to recover, but did not feel well and had some difficulty breathing. Another member of Michell’s group called 911, with New Hampshire Fish and Game being notified of the incident at 1:50 p.m. Hasty teams from Twin Mountain Fire and Rescue and AMC began an immediate response to the scene, with available conservation offi cers responding from farther away. The first responders reached Michell at approximately 3:45 p.m., locating him about 1.8 miles from the trailhead. First responders confirmed that a carryout would be necessary, and a call for additional help was sent to the Pemigewasset Valley Search and Rescue Team. In all, over twenty volunteers, including members of Michell’s hiking group, worked to bring him safely to the Edmands Path trailhead.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis friends invite you to an event, go out of your way to attend. Consider the Scandinavian proverb: Go often to the house of thy friend; for weeds soon choke up the unused path. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The ones who have no idea how to help you will be, nonetheless, full of advice. If you weren’t so polite, you would ﬁ nd the situation laughable. Find out who the real experts are, and make appointments. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ). You respect law and order, though you also see how power can corrupt people. So you won’t follow orders until you’ve considered the source and seen the reason and purpose in the direction. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A problem that gets everyone to unify efforts and work together for a solution is a good problem to have. You will communicate what needs to be accomplished, and people will pull together. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll cultivate a deeper knowledge of your reality and work on many levels of consciousness at once. You progress quickly along in a project because of your multidimensionality. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 29). Your domestic scene improves because of behind-the-scenes activity. A loved one joins your quest for expansion, and in August, this starts with growing your spiritual and cultural awareness. You’ll be the initiator of new business in September. A large sum comes to you as a result of your advertising campaign. Aquarius and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 31, 47, 33 and 1.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). You value openness and friendliness, and you do not suspect people who try to get to know you better of having ulterior motives. And yet, it wouldn’t hurt to be slightly more on guard today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are deeply passionate about topics that also happen to interest a few of your closest friends. It’s nice to have something to connect you so completely. And for those who don’t “get it,” you’ll ﬁnd other things to talk about. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Like a child who personalizes the world by naming his or her toys, you’ll add much-needed character and color to your surroundings. The others will be grateful for your contribution. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It will bring you pleasure to surprise those who know you well. It will be a living reminder to them that they will never be able to fully sum you up, so they had better not try. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In time, you will achieve your objective. You know this, and so you don’t bother to push things along or stress about them unnecessarily. You have the patience of an immortal being. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll try to cheer someone else up and will wind up cheering up not only that person but three other people, too -- one of the people being, of course, you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Create back up systems for yourself. It’s not because you will need them, but because the exercise helps you realize how much you’ve accomplished, and it’s worth it to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

TRUSTED TEEN FEELS ENTITLED TO PARENT-FREE CONCERT TRIP

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 16-year-old girl. I have good grades, participate in sports and activities, and I’m involved in my church. My parents have always trusted me and given me freedom because they know I can handle it. I want to attend a concert in a bigger town with a friend. However, my parents insist I must have an adult with me. I feel I’m responsible enough to go to the concert without one. How can I convince my parents? (A parent would be driving us to and from the concert.) -- CAN HANDLE IT IN OREGON DEAR CAN HANDLE IT: Your parents want to be sure you are safe. Although they trust you to act responsibly, they may not be so conﬁ dent about other fans in the audience. When large numbers of people gather for sports events and concerts, there is always the chance that a few troublemakers may cause a commotion or even a stampede. That’s why the performers usually have heavy security around them. Please don’t take your parents’ stance on this personally. They are trying to protect you. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are hosting our daughter’s wedding and reception. We had to limit the number of guests due to space and budgetary considerations. Some of the RSVPs have come back with a larger number of people accepting than were listed on the invitation envelope as being invited. How should we handle this? We expect others may do the same, and we cannot accommodate extra guests. It’s a touchy situation because my daughter and her ﬁance interact with these folks at the church where she works. She feels bad enough that we had to limit the number of guests -- and now this situation. -- FEELING AWKWARD IN MICHIGAN DEAR FEELING AWKWARD: If this is strictly a matter of

money and what you can afford, sit down with your daughter and her ﬁance, explain the situation and ask if they would like to pay for the “uninvited” guests. If they say yes -- ﬁne. If they say no, call the people who indicated they plan to bring extra guests and tell them that because of space and budgetary considerations, you are unable to accommodate them. Please don’t feel embarrassed to do so, because the people who should feel embarrassed are the ones who committed this breach of etiquette. DEAR ABBY: If I tell my wife I’m going to clean the bathroom today, but I don’t manage to get it done because I was busy with other things, is that considered breaking a promise even though I didn’t use the word “promise”? My wife says that if you say you’re going to do something, then that is a promise. Is she right? -- A MATTER OF SEMANTICS DEAR SEMANTICS: Not exactly. If you tell your wife you are going to clean the bathroom today and don’t get around to it, that is frustrating, aggravating and irresponsible. But if she responds to your statement, “Is that a promise?” and you say yes -- THAT’S a promise. DEAR ABBY: I’m a grown-up Southern girl who has had “honesty is the best policy” pounded into my head ever since I can remember. My family had a falling out when I spoke my mind about some family members because I was tired of them saying things behind other people’s backs. I felt the truth should be expressed, but now I am to blame for the family issues when I was just being honest. Where is the line in the sand where the honesty policy becomes brutal and unfeasible? -- TELLING IT LIKE IT IS DEAR TELLING IT: The line is crossed when the truth is used like a sledgehammer and the words are spoken in anger or retaliation.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at: Dear Abby, c/o The Conway Daily Sun, PO Box 1940, North Conway, NH 03860

Emerson Driving School announces new driver improvement program for NC GORHAM -- Emerson Driving School’s owner, Steve Emerson, is now certifi ed by the state of New Hampshire to conduct the six hour Driver Improvement Program. This is a course that credits New Hampshire drivers with three points off of their driving record. This can be a good tool for law enforcement officials dealing with the youth offenders, however, the class is structured for all ages, including the senior drivers. Some prosecutors and DMV hearings offi cers have given violators the choice of taking the class in lieu of a conviction, fine and/ or license loss. In some cases insurance companies require the class,

especially for CDL drivers. The maximum cost of the course is set by the state at $50. Courses will be held in Berlin and Littleton. Some courses will be held on Saturdays, or possibly on two different evenings, three hours a night. Each person taking the class will receive a certifi cate of completion that can be turned over to the court, prosecution or offi cer to ensure compliance. The certificate contains the name and date of birth of the participant and the date the class was conducted. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Steve Emerson at the office (603) 466-5544.

Franklin woman guilty of negligent homicide BY MOLLY CONNORS THE CONCORD MONITOR

After about three hours of deliberation, a jury found a Franklin woman guilty of negligent homicide this morning for her role in the death of a pedestrian in 2009. Lynn Dion, 43, showed no reaction to the verdict, but friends and family standing behind her quietly wiped tears from their eyes and comforted one another. Dion, who is free on bail until her sentencing in a couple of months, declined to comment. So did members of her family. Dion was driving her red Toyota sedan on Central Street on June 28,

2009 at about 9 p.m. when she struck Genny Bassett, then-36, and her friend, Elsa Gonella, who were walking in a crosswalk. Bassett’s sisters and son held on to one another when the verdict was read. Her sisters, who had been frustrated with the pace of the investigation and prosecution, said they were relieved when they heard the verdict. “I felt a lot better,” said Tia Bassett, Genny’s sister who lives in Andover. During the two-day trial, prosecutors said Dion had been too focused on her phone conversations to notice the two friends -- one who was walking with the support of an umbrella -- in front of her. Witnesses testiﬁ ed that Dion was driving about 30 mph and didn’t hit

the brakes until after she had hit the pedestrians. Dion was not speeding or under the infl uence of drugs or alcohol during the accident, witnesses testifi ed. The case revolved around whether or not Dion was talking on her phone when she hit Bassett and Gonella. Prosecutors have faced a higher standard to prove negligent homicide since the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled in 2009 that not all inattentive driving is criminal. In their decision, they overturned the conviction of Joshua Shepard, who killed three motorcyclists after he swerved briefl y into oncoming traffi c. But he wasn’t speeding or under the infl uence of any alcohol or drugs.

Since then, prosecutors have needed to show that a driver did something “blameful” to prove negligent homicide. In this case, prosecutors said Dion’s cell phone use was the blameful act, though the defense argued Dion wasn’t on the phone at the time of the accident. Merrimack County Attorney Scott Murray, who was in the courtroom this morning, said this verdict helps clarify what can be prosecuted, though the legal issues surrounding negligent homicide still need to be “ﬂeshed out.” “It gives us a little bit of guidance,” he said. “If you’re talking on your cell phone and you hit someone and hurt them, you are in trouble,” he said.

Cost of treating veterans will rise long past wars WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Though the withdrawal of American military forces from Iraq and Afghanistan will save the nation billions of dollars a year, another cost of war is projected to continue rising for decades to come: caring for the veterans. By one measure, the cost of health care and disability compensation for veterans from those con-

ﬂicts and all previous American wars ranks among the largest for the federal government — less than the military, Social Security and health care programs including Medicare, but nearly the same as paying interest on the national debt, the Treasury Department says. Ending the current wars will not lower those veterans costs; indeed, they will rise ever more steeply

for decades to come as the population of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan expands, ages and becomes more infirm. To date, more than 2.2 million troops have served in those wars. Studies show that the peak years for government health care and disability compensation costs for veterans from past wars came 30 to 40 years after those wars ended. For Vietnam, that peak has not been reached. In Washington, the partisan stalemate over cutting federal spending is now raising alarms among veterans groups and some lawmakers that the seemingly inexorable costs of veterans benefi ts will spur a backlash against those programs. Though there is currently strong bipartisan support for veterans programs, some budget proposals, including from Senator Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma, and Representative Michele Bachmann, Republican of Minnesota, have called for trimming benefits for veterans and military retirees. “Those proposals have been batted back so far,” said David Autry of the Disabled American Veterans. “But we’ve got more vigorous budget hawks today. If they are willing to bring the nation to the brink of insolvency, who knows what else they might do?” Even if cuts to veterans programs do not occur, the current mood of budgetary constraint seems likely to force the Department of Veterans Affairs to make do without the large spending increases it has received from Congress in the recent past. That means efforts by veterans groups to expand existing health care programs, provide additional benefi ts to Vietnam veterans or institute new research into things like traumatic brain injury or hearing loss will face diffi cult uphill battles, lawmakers and veterans advocates say. “No one is thinking about the lifetime costs this country is responsible for,” said Senator Patty Murray, a Washington Democrat who is chairwoman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee. “I’m really worried.”

Monster trucks, special events mark Riverside Speedway’s Summerfest GROVETON -- The sound of horsepower will be heard throughout the North Country this coming weekend at Groveton’s Riverside Speedway. Monster Trucks’ Krazy Train and Aftershock, out of Buffalo, NY, will perform their car crushing and free style shows on both evenings. The trucks will be on display at the entrance to the grandstands prior to the start of the night and there will be plenty of things to purchase for the kids on hand. The racing at Riverside has been second to none in 2011, and the weekend includes two appearances from both the North Country Ford Late Models and The JA Corey Outlaw/Sportsman. The Late Models will run a 75 lap event on Friday and then invert their finishing order to run another 75 lapper on Saturday night. The lowest point total accumulated for both nights will end up as the weekend winner. The same will take place for the Outlaw/Sportsman.
