Biomass plants say they are not the villain BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- The wood-fired independent biomass plants charge Cate Street Capital walked away from negotiations just when it looked like the parties were close to an agreement. “The fact they withdrew from the deal so abruptly came as a shock to everyone,” said Mike O’Leary, plant manager for Bridgewater Power Company. “We were very very close to a deal.” Cate Street Capital declared its efforts to construct a 75-megawatt biomass plant on the former pulp mill site are dead after the parties failed to reach an agreement by the Portsmouth company’s deadline of June 30. Six smaller biomass plants are appealing the Public Utilities Commission’s approval of a power

purchase agreement between the Berlin Station and Public Service of N.H. to the state Supreme Court. For several months, Cate Street, PSNH, the PUC, the Independent Power Producers, and state officials including Gov. Lynch have been attempting to negotiate an agreement that would see the IPPs withdraw the appeal. Cate Street Capital spokesman Scott Tranchemontagne said the company needed an agreement by June 30 to allow it to get its financing in place and meet its winter construction schedule. O’Leary said the June 30 deadline was not part of the discussion when the negotiations first got underway. He said Cate Street Capital inserted the deadline part way into negotiations. O’Leary said all the IPPs have done is exercise their business rights by filing as intervenors in the PUC docket on the

power purchase agreement between Berlin Station and PSNH. He said appealing the PUC’s order to the Supreme Court is part of the process. Tranchemontagne said the negotiations settled on short term power purchase agreements for the four plants currently without such contracts. He said the IPPS wanted other concessions including a cash payment. “The IPPS got greedy and started asking for more,” he said Saturday. O’Leary said Cate Street Capital is trying to make the IPPs the villain when all they are trying to do is protect their jobs, infrastructure, and businesses. He noted that the IPPs have all been in business for a long time. His plant opened in 1984. In contrast, he said Cate Street has never built, owned, or opersee VILLAIN page 7

SEC to hear gas project Delayed prison opening provides time to prepare modifications tomorrow BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – The state Site Evaluation Committee is holding a public informational hearing in city hall Wednesday to consider some modifications to the proposed gas line project. Last December, the SEC granted the Androscoggin Valley Regional Refuse Disposal District an exemption from its approval and certification requirements and granted it permission to con-

struct and operate a blended landfill gas and natural gas energy project that would serve the Gorham paper mill. The project was developed to help the mill reduce its energy costs by allowing it to switch its boilers from costly fuel oil to cheaper natural and landfill gas. Gorham Paper and Tissue, the new owner of the mill, is asking the SEC to allow it to rely on that exemption granted to AVRRDD.

BERLIN -- People and businesses hoping to work or provide goods and services to the new federal prison should be taking steps now to be ready when the facility opens. “They shouldn’t be sitting back and waiting for news of the activation,” said Mark Belanger of the N.H. Employment Security. The local Talent Team, a cooperative effort between the prison, Employment Security, and White Mountains Community College, met this week to update its partners on the prison activation and to urge people and businesses to continue efforts to be ready when it does open. Warden Deborah Schult assured the group that the question is not if the prison will open, but when. Construction of the prison was completed last November at a cost of about $245

million. When fully activated, the facility will hold 1,700 inmates and employ a staff of 332. It will have an annual payroll of $28 million and spend another $10 million a year on goods and services. Right now, the prison is waiting for funding to activate and open. Schult noted the state’s Congressional delegation has been working hard advocating for funding in Washington. “It’s just a matter of getting the green light to go,” she said. Schult said there are 16 staff on site at the prison including newly hired Human Resource Specialist Carole Anne Andy. She said her office has been moved from the construction trailer into the main prison. Schult said more evidence that the Bureau of

Family trees get more complicated (NY Times) — Laura Ashmore and Jennifer Williams are sisters. After that, their relationship becomes more complex. When Ms. Ashmore and her husband, Lee, learned a few years ago that they could not conceive a child, Ms. Williams stepped in and offered to become pregnant with a donor’s sperm on behalf of the couple, and give birth to the child. The baby, Mallory, was born in September 2007 and adopted by Ms. Ashmore and her husband. Then the sisters began to ponder: where would the little girl sit on the family tree? “For medical purposes I am her mother,” Ms. Williams said. “But I am also her aunt.” Many families are grappling with similar questions as a family tree today is beginning to look more like a tangled forest. Genealogists have long defined familial relations along bloodlines or marriage. But as the composition of families changes, so too has the notion of who gets a branch on the family tree. Some families now organize their family tree into two separate histories: genetic and emotional. For the last six years, according to United States census data, there have been more unmarried households than married ones. And more same-sex couples are having children using surrogates or sperm donors or by adoption.

Pakistan’s spies tied to slaying of a journalist ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (NY Times) — Obama administration officials believe that Pakistan’s powerful spy agency ordered the killing of a Pakistani journalist who had written scathing reports about the infiltration of militants in the country’s military, according to American officials. New classified intelligence obtained

before the May 29 disappearance of the journalist, Saleem Shahzad, 40, from the capital, Islamabad, and after the discovery of his mortally wounded body, showed that senior officials of the spy agency, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, directed the attack on him in an effort to silence criticism, two senior administra-

tion officials said. The intelligence, which several administration officials said they believed was reliable and conclusive, showed that the actions of the ISI, as it is known, were “barbaric and unacceptable,” one of the officials said. They would not disclose further details about the intelligence.

Casey Anthony not guilty As budgets are trimmed, time in class is shortened in slaying of daughter ORLANDO (NY Times) — Casey Anthony, the young mother whose seeming heartlessness at the disappearance of her daughter transfixed America for three years, was found not guilty on Tuesday of killing the girl, Caylee Marie. After nearly six weeks of testimony, a panel of seven women and five men decided that Ms. Anthony did not murder Caylee by dosing her with chloroform, suffocating her with duct tape and dumping her in a wooded area, as prosecutors claimed. They also

did, however, find her guilty of lesser charges, of providing false information to law enforcement officers. The jury did not ask to review any evidence. When the verdict was read, Ms Anthony, 25, who faced a possible death sentence, cried. The verdict vindicates the defense, which argued from the start that Caylee drowned accidentally in the family swimming pool and that the death was concealed by her panicked grandfather, George Anthony, and Ms. Anthony.

(NY Times) — After several years of state and local budget cuts, thousands of school districts across the nation are gutting summer-school programs, cramming classes into fourday weeks or lopping days off the school year, even though virtually everyone involved in education agrees that American students need more instruction time. Los Angeles slashed its budget for summer classes to $3 million from $18 million last year, while Philadelphia, Milwaukee and half the school districts in North Carolina have eviscerated their programs or zeroed them out. A scattering of rural districts in New Mexico, Idaho and other states will be closed on Fridays or Mondays come September. “Instead of increasing school time, in a lot of cases we’ve been pushing back against efforts to shorten not just the school day but the week and year,” said Justin Hamilton, a spokesman for the federal Department of Education. “We’re trying to prevent what exists now from shrinking even further.”

Holiday toll traffic up from last year CONCORD — State tourism officials said the July 4 weekend was a success, with full campgrounds, booked hotels and more people hitting the roads than last year. Traffic through New Hampshire tolls was up 4 percent over last year,

with 278,595 vehicles passing through tolls on July 4. Businesses, attractions and campgrounds reported either the same or better numbers than last year’s record year. —Courtesy of WMUR

Lynch signs local tax caps back into law CONCORD — Gov. John Lynch Tuesday signed a bill that clears the way for cities, towns and school districts to adopt caps on local tax increases. The bill also states that any tax cap that voters elected to make part of their charter is now valid, whether or not it was legal to adopt the cap at the time it passed. The bill, Senate Bill 2, gives communities clear guidelines and greater leeway in adopting the caps. It also allows caps to be exceeded with super-majority votes of the local governing body. In a city like Manchester, the governing body would be the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. In a small town, it would most often be voters at an annual meeting. The bill does not set out a specific percentage of votes needed to exceed a cap. Instead, it allows communities and school districts to choose the level, which is most

often either a two-thirds majority or of a three-fifths majority. SB 2 had 12 Senate co-sponsors and five in the House, all led by prime sponsor Sen. David Boutin, R-Hooksett. “This is a great day for taxpayers,” Boutin said. Voters in Manchester adopted a tax cap in 2009 to limit tax and spending hikes to match the urban consumer price index, but the cap never took effect. Acting on a court challenge, the state Supreme Court ruled unanimously that it was in direct conflict with the state law that described how a board of mayor and aldermen should operate. By constraining the board to abide by the cap or seek a two-thirds majority, it conflicted with the law on a board’s authority, the court said. Derry, Franklin, Rochester, Nashua and Laconia also have tax caps in place. —Courtesy of The Union Leader

Gas prices continue to drop CONCORD — Gas prices continue to drop in New Hampshire. Statistics compiled by the website newhampshiregasprices.com found that the average price for regular gas on Tuesday was $3.62 a gallon, down

2 cents from a week ago and almost 17 cents from a month ago. The current average price is still 84 cents higher than it was one year ago. —Courtesy of WMUR

Pakistani teachers arrive in N.H. PLYMOUTH — Another group of educators from Pakistan has arrived in New Hampshire to learn about innovations in American education and how to translate them for use in schools at home. The Pakistani Educational Leadership Project at Plymouth State University started in 2004 and is funded by the State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. This year’s group of 37 edu-

cators arrived Sunday night and will spend the next month attending workshops. In Pakistan, the teachers are divided by geography, ethnicity and professional hierarchies-- not to mention more than a dozen different languages-- making it unlikely they would ever meet or work together. But participants said in New Hampshire, they are colleagues and friends. —Courtesy of WMUR

Serenity Steps to hold road toll July 15 To the editor: Serenity Steps Peer Support Center will hold a voluntary road toll Friday, July 15. All the money raised will be used to support the mission of Serenity Steps. The mission of the center is to provide a safe, compassionate environment where people struggling with mental health or emotional issues can learn and grow together. Money raised will go towards providing special meals, social and recreational activities, and all the extra needs that our funding source can not provide. At Serenity Steps, they use the Intentional Peer Support model. This is a non-medical approach to recovery. Everyone, including staff, has some sort of mental health issue. Peer Support intends to redefine the help dynamic. Instead of a medical professional defining your experience and mapping your recovery journey, it is equals,

learning together, sharing their worldview, and moving forward together. It is important to recognize the worth of every individual, and his ability to grow. At Serenity Steps they try and foster a sense of hope, that recovery is possible, and here is where you can start. They offer different support and educational groups. They also offer the North Country Warmline. This is a free, confidential phone line where you can receive peer support, share your concerns, and be heard and understood. The toll free number is 1-866-447-1765. It operates from 5-9 p.m. every night. There are no fees to use their services. They also provide transportation to and from the center.

Made to Break

If sales of durable goods have dropped, it may be because so few goods are really durable anymore. There seem to be three basic marketing ploys in manufacturing, all designed to boost sales by screwing the customer, and the simplest of them is to make things that break easily or wear out quickly, and cannot be repaired. The second is to lure the consumer with a cheap piece of equipment, and then squeeze him on whatever supplies that equipment requires. The third is to insure obsolescence by discontinuing spare parts. Around 1970, for less than a dollar, my mother bought a T-shaped stainless steel tool with a wire and roller across the top, for peeling perfect one-eighth-inch slices of cheese from larger blocks. She and my father used that cheese slicer for more than a quarter of a century, and then I inherited it and used it for another 13 years. A few months ago I was trying to reduce a particularly dense block of cheese, and the wire snapped off the slicer. We replaced it with an adjustable $6.95 imitation in black plastic and white metal, which broke within a week. A second $6.95 replacement lasted less than two weeks. We have gone back to shaving off slices of cheese with a knife. Evidently the manufacturers of cheese slicers noticed that they were making them too well. After producing something that lasted four decades, during which they sold no more cheese slicers to the Marvel clan, they lit upon the ingenious scheme of making a piece of flimsy junk and selling it for about $6.95 more than it was worth. I still own a pair of boots that bear the scars of a motorcycle accident from June of 1971. I’ve had them re-heeled at least twice, and half-soled once, but they shine up well and I wear them regularly. I have a similar pair that cost exactly seven times as much, but they have modern composition soles and heels, and once those soles are gone, so are the boots. Most modern footwear can’t be repaired, which is why cobblers are so scarce — and new boots so expensive. The overpriced-supplies scam became a specialty among printer manufacturers. They discounted their products for quick sales, but

started jacking up the price of ink cartridges, which they made with tiny reservoirs that dried up quickly, whether they were used or not. A favorite variation, for color printers, was to design the printer so it would not even print with black ink unless a fresh (and expensive) color cartridge was also installed. The makers of vacuum cleaners have picked up on this racket, and no longer distribute the disposable bags for their machines in large quantities: I bought a pack of 10 with mine, but when I went looking for more they only came six to a pack, and then three — for about the same price as the original 10. It might be worth replacing my last carpeted floors with hardwood or tile, just to be able to go back to a broom. When I sought new parts for the 1969-vintage Kenmore range in my kitchen, I was told that manufacturers are only required to keep making replacement parts for 10 years. The local appliance wizard rescued me that time, but a presumed absence of spare parts has crushed much hope of repairing my 1966 Sears propane furnace. Computer manufacturers calculated the perfect balance between capitalizing on spare parts and forcing the sale of new machines. I’ve worn the letters off four successive keypads on my 1999 iBook, and used up two batteries. I don’t even know if I can get those parts now, but the software in it opens progressively fewer attachments; and it can’t read many webpages, or support the software that will. Industry pressure is building for me to buy a new one. I was equally reluctant to buy a new chain saw, because — like everything else — each one costs more and dies sooner than the one before. My Husqvarna graveyard has proven useless because it consists of consecutive new models that were all slightly modified, so the parts are not interchangeable. Still, I was determined to beat the manufacturer’s anti-consumer conspiracy this time. Perhaps I tried too hard, however, which led to my ultimate defeat. After I had been yanking, tinkering, and yanking for two hours under a hot sun, that sledgehammer lay just a little too handy … William Marvel lives in South Conway.

The Coos Child Advocacy Center yard sale was a great success To the editor: On Saturday, June 25, 2011 the Child Advocacy Center of Coos County (CAC-CC) held its second annual Make an Offer Make a Difference Yard Sale and Barbeque. The day consisted of a yard sale of numerous donated items from generous people throughout the county that sold quickly, and a barbecue that was enjoyed by all. The CAC-CC would like to thank all those who helped with this event in one way or another, because it would not have been as successful without the support of our communities; Sears of Gorham, Shaw’s Supermarket, Coca Cola, Country, Kitchen, Save A Lot, McDonald’s, Groveton Market, Groveton Village Store, Good Neighbor Storage, Mr. Pizza, Gorham Fire Department, and Gorham Emergency Medical Services. This fundraiser would not have been possible without the help of these people and businesses. This event was a successful fundraiser for the CAC-CC, and provides necessary funds for the agency to be

able to provide our services to the child-victims of crime throughout Coos County. The CAC-CC is a community partnership dedicated to the investigation, prosecution and treatment of child victims of crime. Built upon a nationally recognized model, the CAC-CC provides a coordinated approach to child abuse investigations, empowers families to protect their children and seeks justice from those who commit crimes against children. The CAC-CC works closely with local law enforcement, child protection services, Coos County Attorney’s Office and state agencies to coordinate investigations of alleged abuse. Through the work of the CAC-CC, allegations of physical and sexual abuse are more thoroughly investigated, trauma experienced by children is reduced, parents are empowered to protect their children and children are connected to the support services they need. In addition, prosecution rates are increased by see YARD SALE page 5

FINANCI AL FOCUS

Work Toward Your Own Financial Independence Day On July 4, we shoot fireworks, attend picnics, watch parades and otherwise celebrate our nation’s independence and the many freedoms we enjoy. But as you go through life, you’ll find out how important it is to work towards another type of freedom — financial freedom. That’s why you need to put strategies in place to help you work towards your own Financial Independence Day. And there’s no way to “sugar-coat” this task, because it will be challenging. In recent years, a combination of factors — including depressed housing prices, rising health care costs, frozen or eliminated pension plans and the financial market plunge of 2008 and early 2009 — has made it more difficult for many of us to accumulate the resources we’ll need to enjoy the retirement lifestyle we’ve envisioned. In fact, the average American family faces a 37 percent shortfall in the income they will need in retirement, according to a recent report by consulting firm McKinsey & Company. But now that we’ve gotten the “bad” stuff out of the way, let’s turn to the good news: You can do a great deal to work towards financial freedom during your retirement years. Here are some suggestions that can help: •Save and invest more. Obviously, the younger you are, the greater the benefit you’ll get by increas ing your savings and investments. But whatever your age, you’ll find that it pays to save and invest more. During difficult economic times, of course, it’s not always easy to boost your savings and investments, but try to find ways that are as “automatic” as possible. For example, whenever you get a raise, increase your 401(k) contributions, which come directly from your paycheck. And whenever you get a “windfall,” such as a tax refund, try to use part of it for your IRA or another investment account. •Rebalance your portfolio. It’s always a good idea to periodically rebalance your investments to make sure they are still aligned with your goals and risk tolerance. But it’s especially important to rebalance as you get older and you near retirement. At this stage, you’ll want to decrease the volatility in your portfolio and lock in what gains you’ve achieved, so you may want to move some (but certainly not all) of your more aggressive investments into less volatile ones. •Cut down on debts. It’s easier said than done, but anything you can do to reduce your debt load will free up money to invest for your retirement. Work diligently to pay off whatever debts you can and examine your lifestyle to find areas in which you can reduce spending. •Consider working part-time during retirement. Many Americans are now living longer and enjoying happy, healthy retirements. In fact, the concept of “retirement” has changed so that it now includes any number of activities — including part-time work in a completely different area from one’s previous career. If you are willing to do even a little part-time work during your retirement years, you can greatly reduce the financial pressures you may face during this time of your life. The 4th of July comes and goes quickly. So put strategies in place now to help you work towards your own Financial Independence Day. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Family fun day hosted by Salvation Army BERLIN -- The Salvation Army is holding their third Family Fun Day to take place at Heritage Park on Saturday, July 9, from 12 noon to 5 p.m. The event is open to the public and free of charge. The event has been successful PREPARE from page one

Prisons plans to activate the prison is the fact this spring and summer all of the inmate furniture has been put in place. Much of the staff furniture is also there. Next month, the inmate telephone system will be installed. John Dyer of White Mountains Community College said the delayed opening provides an opportunity for local people and businesses to get ready. For businesses, the talent team runs procurement technical assistance workshops in conjunction with the N.H. Procurement Technical Assistance Program. Businesses in Coos County have an advantage in bidding because the entire county is certified as a economically disadvantaged region (or HUB zone). Program Specialist Kathleen Frenette said she will be spending one day at week at WMCC. Workshops are scheduled for August 11, September 8, October 13, November 10, January 12, and February 9 from 9 a.m. to noon at WMCC. People under 37 interested in working at the prison can attend job information sessions. One is scheduled for the college on August 3 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. A session is also scheduled the week of August

over the last two years, we expect it to be even more so this year. There will be music, bouncy houses for the children, a dunk tank, food, and more. If you would like more information please contact The Salvation Army at 752-1644. 3 in Colebrook with the exact date and location still be be determined. The talent team has also scheduled federal application workshops to help interested people actually fill out applications. Jim Michalik of the Family Resource Center outlined a new offering called Applicant Background Investigation Drill (A-BID) which is designed to help applicants prepare to pass the background check to get hired by the bureau. One big hurdle for many applicants is the credit check. The bureau requires a clean credit rating. Michalik said A-BID will help potential applicants research their credit profile and outline ways to make repairs if necessary. A-BID also covers the background investigation the bureau will undertake including criminal history check as well as a check of social media contacts. The A-BID workshops will run in conjunction with the federal application workshops, with the application workshop running one week followed by the ABID workshop. The next federal application workshop will run August 15 to 19 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at WMCC. The A-BID workshop will follow the week of August 22 to 26 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. also at the college.

ated a biomass plant. O’Leary said his company has been operating without a power purchase agreement since August 2010, selling its power on the spot market. He said his company is just hanging on and has been seeking a short term agreement from PSNH since before the Berlin Station was on the PUC docket. He said the short term contracts are needed to allow the IPPs to keep operating while the legislature considers changes in the Renewable Energy Portfolio that would make the plants more economically viable. State Senator John Gallus, (R-Berlin), said Cate Street Capital’s decision to stick to its June 30 deadline and walk away from the Berlin Station project is bad news for everybody. He said there will be no short term power purchase agreements for the IPPs which he said means their future is in doubt. Between Berlin Station and the IPPs, Gallus estimated 1,200 direct and indirect jobs are at stake. Plus, he said, the Berlin Station would employ over 300 people in the construction phase - he said many local construction workers had turned down other jobs with the expectation they would work at the biomass site. The plant would also be the city’s largest tax payer and would revive the forest industry. “We want to see this work out for everybody,” said Gallus. As part of the negotiations, Gallus said legislators agreed to work to make changes in the Renewable Energy Portfolio that would benefit the IPPs. Now that is unlikely to happen as well. He said Whitefield Power and Light was the main hold out at last week’s negotiations. He said the company has a power agreement and was seeking additional incentives. “It seems everyone was dealing at the end except Whitefield,” he said. O’Leary said the IPPs are still open to further negotiations. “We want to be at the table. We were so close we were shocked at how abruptly the thing blew up,” he said.

SEC from page one

Gorham Paper is also asking the SEC to approve three major modifications to the project that was proposed by the solid waste district. The paper company said it wants construction of the project to be completed by Sept. 26 to allow the mill to be economically viable. The first major modification is Gorham Paper and Tissue will now own the natural gas pipeline, the natural gas metering and pressure regulation station (M&R station), and the entire pipeline from the Portland Natural Gas Transmission System to the mill. Previously AVRRDD planned to install and own the entire pipeline. Second, rather than delivering blended landfill gas from Mount Carberry landfill and natural gas to the mill through a single pipeline, Gorham Paper and Tissue now proposes to construct two separate pipelines.

Third, the landfill gas line will now be co-owned by AVRRDD and Gorham Paper and Tissue. The project calls for a landfill gas processing plant at the Mount Carberry landfill. A pipeline would carry the landfill gas across the river over the abandoned railroad bridge. From the west side of the river, the pipeline will continue 2,500 feet to an interconnection with the mill. A lateral natural gas pipeline will be constructed at a point along the existing PNGTS pipeline and travel approximately 350 feet to the M&R station. From there it will be located beside the landfill gas pipeline along the same route. Wednesday’s public hearing gets underway at 10 a.m. Gorham Paper and Tissue will make a presentation to the committee and public. The public will be able to ask questions and make comments. The committee may chose to go into deliberative session at the end of the public hearing to rule on the request.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You never want to have to worry what people are saying about you. So you’ll do as your sign mate Will Rogers suggested: “Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will cooperate with others to achieve an aim. The work doesn’t seem difficult when everyone is doing it together. In fact, life is easier when you operate within a small group. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). At the buffet of life, you appreciate all that catches your eye. But you know you’ll never be able to consume it all without causing yourself pain. So you only put the most delicious dishes on your plate. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your experiences seem to be adding up to something much better than you predicted. You feel like you’re getting closer to being the person you were always intended to be. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be around and among the highly educated, but don’t forget about common sense. Knowing a lot never made anyone wise. Say less, listen more, and act judiciously. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 6). It’s your turn to receive in July, so get into gracious acceptance mode, and don’t be overly worried about when and how you will pay people back. That will happen in time. There’s a fantastic opportunity to advance your talents or professional interests in August. Love is strong in September. October brings adventure. Libra and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 24, 39 and 2.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Actors know this to be true: It’s always easier to stay in character when you’re in costume. When you look the part, it’s a breeze to act the part. Put great care into your stylistic choices. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes being around people gives you energy. Other times it drains you. The optimal scenario is to get your social interaction in small doses. A little bit of fellowship goes a long way. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll grow rich as you pair your ideas with thoughtful investigation. You’ll determine the best course of action and will be willing to adjust the plan as needed. And most importantly, you’ll follow through. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are wise not to worry about what another person is thinking about you. It’s usually best to assume people are thinking about something other than you. You’ll relax into the moment, and your concerns will melt away. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll study what has already been done, partly out of respect for the ones who came before you, but also because you realize that understanding what has been done will help you know what to do next. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The leisure days of summer will seem to you to be a myth. The hours march on, each bringing a new challenge. Luckily, you love the feeling of forward motion and are not the least bit afraid of work. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Go forward with confidence. All the evidence suggests you can trust yourself. Look at how often you’ve done what the situation required. And whatever mistakes you made, you learned from.

WIFE IN THE DARK ABOUT AFFAIRS WANTS HUSBAND TO SHED LIGHT

DEAR ABBY: How can I forget and forgive my husband for his actions? It has been only a few months since I found out about his affairs -- which lasted over four months with three different women. One was more intense than the others. He says he has broken off all contact with them and is only with me now. When I learned about the affairs, I had no information other than he was having one. Someone I didn’t know told me, so I did not have much to go on. I have asked my husband some questions, but he refuses to answer them. He says I should let it go and move on, that my questions will lead to no good, and if I don’t stop I’m going to push him away. I think about what he has done and different scenarios daily and try to ignore the hurt, but it’s hard. Should I ask questions, should he answer them, and will this pain ever go away? We are “trying,” and I’m running mostly on love and the hope that our relationship will survive. -- IN PAIN IN PITTSBURGH DEAR IN PAIN: Of course you should be asking questions because you have the right to know the answers. And if your husband is truly repentant, he should answer them. Your pain will persist unless you both have counseling to understand what triggered his four-month “fling.” If he refuses to go, go without him. Frankly, I am troubled by your statement that your husband is threatening you’ll push him away if you pursue the answers you deserve. That doesn’t appear to me to be the behavior of a contrite spouse. If you haven’t already done so, see your physician and be tested for STDs. All of the emotions you’re experiencing are

normal, but whether your relationship will survive under the present circumstances is debatable. DEAR ABBY: I’m a married woman in my 40s, raising a family. I work full-time doing a physical job outdoors and after work I’m often worn out. My hobby is art. I have drawn and painted since I was very young. My problem is, I’m afraid to say no when relatives ask me to do arts and crafts for them. They even volunteer me to do projects for their friends. If money is offered, I usually turn it down. The issue is the time involved. I’m stressed out. I drop everything when I get these requests, and I’m starting to feel overwhelmed and annoyed. I have to do these projects before and after my regular job and on weekends. My house and family get neglected. And because I can’t devote the necessary time to the projects, I’m unhappy with the result. I have dropped hints about how I’m tired after working a full-time job, but no one seems to care. How can I tell them I need a break without upsetting them? -- BURNED-OUT PICASSO DEAR BURNED-OUT: You need to learn to say no. For a people-pleaser this can present a challenge, but in your case it should be followed with, “I’m too busy to take that on right now.” You should also rethink your refusal to accept the offer of money. If you do, it will probably result in your being asked to do projects less often -- trust me on that. Also consider this: If you turn your hobby into a little side business and charge for your talent, it may enable you to fund projects that will give you some of the psychic gratification you’re missing.

Weekend of art history in Pinkham Notch

PINKHAM NOTCH -- The Appalachian Mountain Club’s Pinkham Notch Visitor Center will host two evening presentations July 9, and 10, focusing on the artists and writers of the White Mountains. Saturday, July 9, join producer Andrea Melville as she introduces her film, “Brush and Pen: Artists and Writers of the White Mountains”. This documentary features the 19th century artists and writers of NH’s White Mountains. The film offers the audience a tour through the 19th century with some of New Hampshire’s most famous works of art. “Brush and Pen” bridges a gap in the art and literature worlds by combining significant White Mountain art and prose in one format. Melville will also answer questions after the film. Sunday, July 10, we will host “The Adventure of the White Mountains in Art, Literature and Experience”. Through the years, many famous painters have depicted the White Mountains. A number of authors have developed a rich literature about them. This program looks at how artists such as Thomas Cole have pictured the White Mountains, how authors such as Thoreau, Emerson and Hawthrone have written about them and all of us have experienced them. We show their White Mountains paintings. We present their words. We all share our wilderness experiences. Presented by Stephen Soreff, MD, AMC information volunteer and faculty Boston University’s Metropolitan College and Christopher Volpe, MA art historian and faculty New Hampshire Institute of Art and Chester College. Both programs start at 8 p.m. and are free and open to the public. Join us for dinner at 6 p.m., reservations are recommended and appreciated. AMC Pinkham Notch Visitor Center, Route 16, Pinkham Notch, NH. For more information contact the AMC at (603) 466-2727. This schedule is subject to change. AMC Outdoor Explorations are sponsored in part by L.L. Bean & the William T. Morris Foundation. The AMC is an equal opportunity service provider. The AMC operates Pinkham Notch Visitor Center and its system of backcountry huts in the White Mountain National Forest under a special-use permit from the US Forest Service.
