BERLIN -- Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said he does not blame President Obama for the recession but faults him for his inability to lead the country out of it. “I blame on him the fact it has taken so long to get out of the recession and to recover from it,” he said. The former Massachusetts governor stressed his experience as a businessman during a town hall meeting at the V.F.W. hall Tuesday night. The event drew a crowd of about 40 during Romney’s second visit to the city in less than a month. Having never worked in the business world, Romney said Obama “frankly didn’t understand what it takes to get an

economy going.” In contrast, the former Massachusetts governor cited his 25-year career in business and his leadership of the 2002 Winter Olympics. Romney said it hurts him to see so many people having a hard time in this country. He said 25 million Americans are out of work or working parttime. Romney told an 18-year old college student that he wants to make sure the American economy is strong and prosperous fifty years from now. “I care very deeply about the America you will enjoy fifty years from now. I believe America needs to remain the hope of the earth - the most powerful engine economically on the earth,” he said. Mena Mitchell of Stark asked Romney why she should

Schools restore fresh cooking

GREELEY, Colo. (NY Times) — The idea of making school lunches better and healthier has gathered steam in many parts of the nation in recent years, but not equally for every child. Schools with money and involved parents concerned about obesity and nutrition charged ahead, while poor and struggling districts, overwhelmed by hard times, mostly did not. This midsize city in northern Colorado, where 60 percent of the 19,500 students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, is trying to break the mold. When classes start on Thursday, the district will make a great leap forward — and at the same time back to the way it was done a generation ago — in cooking meals from scratch. Factory food took over most American schools in a rolling, greasy wave of chicken nuggets and preprepped everything over the last few decades. Now, real ingredients and spices like cumin and garlic — and in a modern twist, fiber-laden carrots snuck in where children do not expect them, like pasta sauce — are making their return to the cafeteria tray. Getting ready for that counterrevolution here in Greeley involved a weeklong boot camp to relearn forgotten arts like kitchen math — projecting ingredients to scale when making, say, 300 pans of lasagna, which cooks were doing this week — and to brush up on safe cooking temperatures for meat.

HOMS, Syria (NY Times) — The narrower the streets of this city, a caldron of revolt and resistance against four decades of rule by the Assad family, the blunter the graffiti becomes. It is scrawled on walls, garbage bins, phone booths, doors and even tree trunks, as a city that was long quiescent declares these days that it will no longer stay quiet. “We won’t bow to anyone but

God,” says one slogan. The sentiments are echoed in the streets, most remarkable perhaps for the simple notion that no one — not young men filming, not fathers hoping for a glimpse of defiance and not grandmothers chanting from their balconies — seems ready to give up. “Syria wants freedom,” goes their cry. Syria’s uprising has entered its sixth month, as protesters defy

an escalating crackdown that has killed hundreds this month in cities like Hama, Deir al-Zour and, now, Latakia. International condemnations have mounted, even as diplomats acknowledge a paucity of tools to determine the uprising’s outcome. But daily life in Homs underlines the degree to which the uprising has already transformed life in a country once remarkable for its dearth of politics.

In tornado-ravaged town, school starts on time JOPLIN, Mo. (NY Times) — When the red brick schools here were reduced to rubble by a deadly tornado three months ago, local leaders announced a goal that seemed like a longshot: the new school year would start on time. But on Wednesday the city made good on its promise, and students reunited for the first day of school, marking the end of a difficult summer as they streamed excitedly into makeshift facilities that replaced the 10 schools damaged or destroyed by the tornado on May 22. As they exchanged standard so-good-to-see-youagain greetings — the boys slapping hands, the

girls embracing — juniors and seniors swapped schedules and marveled at the modern touches of their new high school, built in just 55 days inside a recently vacant department store at the back of a shopping mall. Outside, residents of a local retirement home lined the streets to welcome them. Even for those like Ariana Dudley, a senior who watched her home collapse around her and is currently living in a trailer, there was less talk of tragedy than of the new laptops each student would receive, one of the many signs of the outpouring of money and donations since the tornado.

LONDON (NY Times) — Europe has never found it easy to define itself, and now it is having more trouble than ever doing so. When the rules for the euro were first drafted 15 years ago, the leaders of France and Germany had to compromise even to agree on its name: Berlin wanted a “stability pact,” emphasizing Germanic fiscal discipline, while the French leaders insisted on adding “growth” to the title to make it more palatable to their voters. In Paris on Tuesday the two countries again sought to bury their differences, proposing deeper integration for a single currency in the throes of a ferocious debt crisis. If carried out, those plans could solidify an economic inner core within a two-tier European Union. But with domestic politics pushing in different directions, and much of the detail left deliberately vague, many proponents of a united Europe remain to be convinced.

Computer program monitors concussions in Kennett athletes BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — What do the Kennett High Eagles have in common with the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins, the New England Patriots and the Boston Red Sox? They're all using the ImPACT test computer program to monitor concussions. All of the fall sports teams at Kennett have taken the test now and can begin preseason training. The Eagles are following a lead of state-line neighbor Fryeburg Academy, which started ImPACT testing two years ago. "The ImPACT test is a vital component of our concussion management test battery," said Mark Boland, of the Institute for Rural Health and Wellness. "It provides objective data which improves our medical team’s decision-making ability regarding return to play while enhancing safety for our student/athletes." ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) is the first, most-widely used, and most scientifically validated computerized concussion evaluation system," according to its website www.impacttest.com "ImPACT provides computerized neurocognitive assessment tools and services that are used by medical doctors, psychologists, athletic trainers and other licensed healthcare professionals to assist them in determining an athlete's ability to return to play after suffering a concussion." The Conway School District is among 23 high school/club teams in the Granite State currently using the ImPACT software. It's also being used by the University of New Hampshire, Dartmouth College and Plymouth State University along with 23 National Football League teams including the New England Patriots; every National Hockey League and Major League Baseball team; and eight current National Basketball Association teams (the Boston Celtics are not among those). "There are only a handful of schools in Division II (which Kennett participates in)," said Kerry Brady, athletic director at Kennett High, "and there aren't that many schools this far north doing it. I think it's a pretty important thing, it's something we should do to protect the athletes. We're also going to be doing the testing at the middle school this fall." Kennett's new policy states: "Kennett High/Middle School is introducing impact testing for all athletes for the 2011-12 school year. Each student needs to complete a computer base test before starting a sport at Kennett." Last week, members of the Kennett High football team took the test, and Monday the boys' and girls' soccer teams, boys and girls' cross-country running teams and the golf and volleyball teams all took the 20-25 minute long computerized test. "It's the first time we're doing,"

Members of the Kennett High golf team team the concussion test Monday afternoon on the opening day of fall sports practices.

Mike Holderman, head football coach, said. "I think it's going to become mandatory sooner or later. I'm glad we're ahead of the curve. "We had a couple of players with concussions last year," he added. "We all want to avoid that first concussion, but at least now we have a baseline for each athlete. You don't want to rush an athlete back because the second (concussion) can happen quickly. Now, you're going to have to meet the baseline and then can return three, four or five days later." For example, football players take a baseline test before the season to record normal health. If they suffer a concussion, before they're allowed back on the field, they retake the same test. If the results are different from the baseline test, it could mean the concussion has not healed. "After buying an ice machine, ImPACT should be the next thing you buy for an athletic training room," Marc Wysocki, of the Berkshire School in Massachusetts, said. "It is by far the best piece of equipment to help to ensure the athletes are kept safe and return to play." Developed in the early 1990s by Drs. Mark Lovell and Joseph Maroon, ImPACT is a 20-minute test that has become a standard tool used in comprehensive clinical management of concussions for athletes of all ages. "Given the inherent difficulties in concussion management, it is important to manage concussions on an individualized basis and to implement baseline testing and/or post-injury neurocognitive testing," www.impacttest.com states. "This type of concussion assessment can help to objectively evaluate the

concussed athlete's post-injury condition and track recovery for safe return to play, thus preventing the cumulative effects of concussion. In fact, neurocognitive testing has recently been called the "cornerstone" of proper concussion management by an international panel of sports medicine experts." The ImPACT tearing is being administered by certified athletic trainer Andy Trowbridge, of Mountain Center Physical Therapy. "This is one more tool in the tool box," Trowbridge said Tuesday by phone. "Obviously, we never want to see anyone get injured, a concussion can be dangerous, it's a head injury. It's really nice to see us on the forward curve with this testing. Nationwide there are 1,500 schools who use this, and for us to be in that growing number is great. By doing this at the middle school, too, we really are ahead of the curve there. We'll be one of the few middle schools in New Hampshire testing all of its athletes." Features and benefits of the test include: measures player symptoms; measures verbal and visual memory, processing speed and reaction time; reaction time measured to 1/100th of second; assists clinicians and athletic trainers in making difficult return-to-play decisions; provides reliable baseline test information; produces comprehensive report of test results; results can be e-mailed or faxed for fast consultation by a neuropsychologist; automatically stores data from repeat testing; testing is administered online for individuals or groups; and is compatible with PC and MAC. "The test is designed to be mildly provocative," Trowbridge said. "If you are concussed, your faculties

are a little slow, things will pop up (on the ImPACT test) if there are still issues." Trowbridge explained he will continue to treat athletes as he has in the past when possible concussions occur. "My initial feeling will still be a catalyst for treatment," he said. "Once they see their physician and their symptoms decrease then we will look at retesting the individual. If the test is successful (matching the prior baseline) then we can look at a return to the playing process. "Once an individual has an unsatisfactory test, they can't immediately retake it," Trowbridge added. "They have to wait another week before retaking it. The big thing about ImPACT is it should help prevent multiple concussions. We're finding more and more there isn't necessarily an increase in concussions but our recognition of them is vastly better than a few years ago." The program measures multiple aspects of cognitive functioning in athletes, including: attention span; working memory; sustained and selective attention time; response variability; non-verbal problem solving; and reaction time." "Although each athlete can be tested only once in high school, we recommend testing two times — freshman and junior years (in high school the brain is still developing)," the website states. "In college, the athlete should be tested during his or her freshman year. At the professional level, each athlete should be tested once." "After this year," Trowbridge said, "it will be just incoming freshmen and juniors who will take the test. We want to get a baseline every two years."

Once upon a Berlin Time Eagle Scouts

1966 III

Hello fellow Berlinites. In April of 1966, the employees of the Granite State Rubber Company in Berlin voted to be represented by a union. Eighty five percent of the workers cast their votes and 468 said yes, while 374 said no. Along with this, there were thirteen challenged ballots. The question on the ballot read: “Do you wish to be represented for purposes of collective bargaining by local 75 International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite and Papermill Workers”. President Vincent “Jimmy” Dinardo beamed as the results were announced, but Vice President of the Granite State John F. O’Neil, declined comment. This was the second time that Granite State voted on a union shop. On November 26, 1957, employees turned down a bid by United Rubber, Cork, Linoleum and Plastics of America. In 1966, it was stated that Granite State had 949 employees that were eligible to vote, but only 855 exercised this right. Sadly, this company eventually closed and we lost a lot of citizens when they left town. In May of 1966, three young Berlin men from Boy Scout Troop 235 attained Eagle Scout status during an impressive court of honor ceremony. This observance took place

on Sunday evening May 1, at the Angel Guardian Parish Hall before a large crowd of well wishers. They were the first ones from this troop to attain this rank since 1959. The picture that accompanies this story shows from left to right: District Commissioner Edward Provencher, Scout Master Fernand Peloquin and Eagle Scouts Paul Lavigne, Roger Croteau and Donald Hamel. How many are still in this area? I know of one. Berlin’s newest fire chief was announced in

the local news of mid May and it was Lucien Lamontagne, a Berlin fireman for thirty-one years. Mr. Lamontagne was about to take on his new job and assume his post on June 1, 1966. The new chief’s appointment was approved by the City Council upon recommendation of the council’s fire committee. Lucien spent his entire working career as a fireman, being appointed to the force on January 27, 1935 at the age of 21, which was then the minimum age for a firefighter. He was promoted to captain in 1956 and then to Assistant Chief in 1962. Lamontagne replaced the retiring Adelard LaBranche. In June of 1966, four teenage local boys had a wet and wild ride on the mighty Androscoggin River and I am willing to bet that if they still live around here and see this story, they will remember their ordeal very well. It all started when Robert Couture, 16 of 2109 Riverside Drive, Gary Jacobs 15, of Twitchell Lane, along with two Milan boys, Larry Gallagher and Larry Linnel, went on a fishing excursion near the state armory. These young men were returning to shore when the swift current swept their small boat against a log boom, causing them to flip over and land in the river. Their boat sank in a deep section of the Androscoggin, but they were able to hang on to the booms. While they were in the cold water hanging on for dear life, their cries were heard by a passerby, who see 1966 III page 5

Estelle E. Ouellette

BERLIN, NH -- Mrs. Estelle E. (Blais) Ouellette, 94, formerly of 374 Coos St., Berlin, NH passed away Wednesday August 17, 2011 at the Coos County Nursing Home in Berlin. She was born in Berlin on October 19, 1916, the daughter of the late Joseph G. and Zelia (Lacasse) Blais and was a lifelong resident. She graduated from St. Regis Academy and had been employed by Blais Wholesale. Estelle had been a member of Guardian Angel, now Good Shepherd Parish. Members of the family include her daughter, Gisele Hall and husband John of Bristol, VA, and her son Laurier Ouellette and wife Debra of Berlin, NH. She was predeceased by 1966 III from page 4

notified the authorities of this precarious situation. Fireman Edward Silts and police officer Dorman Wheelock maneuvered a rescue boat into the stream and started picking up the boys one by one, but they weren’t out of danger yet. Problems arose when the fire boat with all of its six occupants headed for shore. First, the 10 horsepower outboard motor stalled and then the swift current began to carry the boat and its passengers downstream. At this point, Silts grabbed a steel cable that connected a boom with the shore. Having no gloves, he cut his hand on the cable, but hung on anyway. Both he and Wheelock then pulled the boat hand over hand to a point near the shore. Finally, after all of this, a rope was thrown to the boat by a rescue squad on shore and everyone was hauled to safety. This certainly could have turned into a worse scenario for all involved in this accident and rescue. Finally, while talking about rescues, four Berlin police officers were cited by the Berlin Police Commission for outstanding acts of bravery in June of 1966. These policemen are pictured with this story. They are from left to right: Sgt. O’Neal Plummer, Officer Joseph Martin, Officer Paul Morin and Officer Donald Vallis. The four local policemen were credited with saving several lives in a fire which swept through the Robert Poirier and Wilfred Perry home on December 19, 1965. Three young children did die because of this conflagration. The officers’ names were the first to be inscribed on a bronze plaque which was hung in police headquarters. Along with this, each officer received a framed letter of commendation. This new award would be known as the “Commissioners Award in

her husband Robert A. Ouellette on July 12, 2001. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday August 20, 2011 at 11 a.m. at St. Anne Church of Good Shepherd Parish. Interment will be in the St. Kieran Cemetery. Relatives and friends may call at the Bryant Funeral Home, 180 Hillside Ave., on Saturday morning from 9 to 10:30 a.m., prior to the Mass. Donations in her memory may be made to the Association for the Blind, 25 Walker St., Concord, NH, 03301-9977 or to the Coos County Nursing Home Activities Fund, PO Box 416, Berlin, NH,03570. www.bryantfuneralhome. net.

recognition of outstanding service”. Chairman Mark E. Hamlin said that these awards were made on the basis of “Truly outstanding acts of bravery, beyond the call of duty”. The letters were presented to each officer and signed by Commissioners Hamlin, Elmer H. York and Eli J. Roy. It talked of their heroic acts that took place during that fateful day in December of 1965. During the fire, the four local officers worked together as a team while searching for people trapped in the burning house. Vallis and Morin were the first ones on the scene, but Plummer and Martin joined moments later, after hearing the report of the blaze on their radio. They gave first aid and made six relay trips to the St. Louis Hospital. A woman was rescued from where she was wedged between a bed and the wall on the first floor and Officer Vallis entered the smoke filled house and rescued two-year old Norman Perry from his bed. Six month old Judy Ann Perry was taken from the house with the aid of a ski. Vallis used the ski as an instrument to move her crib toward a window, through which Officer Martin reached her. Despite this work though, the girl passed away. This sad fire took place at 23 Fourth Street (Hemlock Street today). The three lives that were lost on this Sunday morning were due to a discarded cigarette. How sad this must have been for all involved. I wonder if this plaque still hangs at police headquarters and how many more names have been added since 1966. I will continue with the history of Berlin forty five years ago, with my next writing.

the proposed biomass plant will come into being in Berlin, and impressed with AutoNorth’s progress in its few years in existence, particularly the fact that the company now employs 33 despite its relatively recent founding. He noted with approval the efforts that the Androscoggin Valley Hospital is making to improve its services to the community, in cooperation with Catholic Medical—a trend in hospital service, he said. Bass pointed out to the group gathered at the T & C that if the special committee, appointed by Congress fails to come up with a budget agreement, on Nov. 23, “there will be an across-the-board cut. The only exemptions will be Social Security and Medicaid,” he said. “Medicare is on the table.” “It’s too bad the debate on entitlements descends so soon into demagoguery,” he said. He said he hoped that the federal prison in Berlin, now empty, would be funded for operation. He said that was a top priority for himself and for New Hampshire’s two senators, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte. But he noted that if the Congress fails to sign a formal appropriations bill into law by the end of the federal fiscal year (Sept. 30) and government is funded by a continuing resolution, no new funds would be allocated for the prison this year. He said that Americans will have to readjust their expectations “to the

extent that government can solve our problems. We have to reassess the appropriate response, given the resources (which have been strained beyond historical precedent).” He said that the U.S. debt to revenue ratio had grown greatly with the financial crash, growth in healthcare costs, stimulus program, and the meattitude among “the crowd on Wall Street.” According to Wikipedia, as of August 3, the U.S. gross debt is 96 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP), although these numbers are subject to many variations of interpretation. Bass said that spending is up by 40 percent in the last four years. “This is a problem,” he said, pointing out that the country has a governmental system that he hopes will “creak around to what is acceptable.” “Hard decisions have to be made,” he said. “People will not be able to get the kind of benefits they have been used to.” He said he was not against tax reform, but “show me the money on the spending side first. Our country must be prepared to make these reforms. Otherwise our country will not survive,” he said. He said that the country has tried stimulus funding. Now it needs to reduce the cost of doing business, make it easier to export goods and services, and make the corporate tax code competitive. He said the U.S. has the second highest business tax in the world.

He said that although he expected the Administration “will come up with another extension of unemployment, I don’t see that at all,” noting that “I can’t walk into the Androscoggin Valley with a big earmark.” “The Administration can’t have four or five stimulus programs. We don’t have the money,” he said. He noted that regulations are hampering business in the U.S. For example, he said, the pellet business he was in before running for Congress had to go through the regulations of “52 different state and local agencies to be in business.” Randy Labnon, one of those attending the lunch, agreed that regulations are onerous. Among other things, T&C, for instance, has to have the approval of N.H. Fish and Game for its lobster tank. As far as allowing the Bush tax cuts to sunset and thus bringing revenue into the federal budget, Bass said that he believes that 70 percent of the Bush tax cut affects the middle class. “The issue is tax relief for those who earn $250,000 or more,” he said, saying that it is the Sub S corporation (S corporations do not pay any federal income tax. Instead, the corporation’s income or losses are divided among the shareholders to be reported on their own individual income ax returns). These people go into business (and theyby create jobs).” He recommended that one of the reforms to the tax regulations would be to allow U.S. companies operat-

ing overseas to return their profits to the U.S., tax free, if they have already been taxed in the host country. Bass noted that despite the flat economy, there are businesses going strong and working innovatively in the North Country. He cited Wayne Presby’s bio diesel plant in N. Haverhall, which creates biodiesel from discarded restaurant cooking oil. He said he was very excited about the tour of the Cascade Mill, to see the old machines looking like new with new paint and the workers back at the machines with great pride, not to mention the expected installation of a new 296-foot tissue machine in the near future. Bass learned that the hospital is looking into heating with bio mass and that hot water from the biomass plant in Berlin (if it comes into being), could be used at the Cascade mill, two more innovative business measures in the Berlin area. He noted that as far as getting credit from U.S. banks, that the banks are in a state of uncertainly because of the Dodd-Frank bill, intended to regulate banks. The same, he said, is true of businesses in regard to the effect the new health care law will have. “In general there is uncertainly because of the Dodd-Frank and the healthcare law,” he said. He did think that existing financial regulations were not followed in the days leading up to the recent financial crash. “They should have made what we have work better,” he said.

ROMNEY from page one

of the opposite party. He reminded the gathering that he was a Republican governor of a state that is 85 percent Democrat. Romney also said he is not a career politician and does not care about getting re-elected. He said he will do whatever it takes to work with leaders of both parties to find common ground. Dona Larsen of Berlin asked how he would handle the Tea Party which she called a right wing fringe and compared it to the John Birch Society. Romney said he disagreed with her characterization of the Tea Party. He said the Tea Party has converged around the common themes that government is too big and spending too much. “I happen to agree with that,” he said. “You’re seeing the Republican Party united in a way I haven’t seen before.” Romney was urged to be more outspoken against illegal drugs by a father who said he lost his 19-year old son to drugs ten years ago. The man said the issue is not being talked about by candidates. “We want the bully pulpit back at the White House on drug issues,” he said. Offering his sympathy, Romney noted he gets few few questions about drugs. He said he will put some material on his web site. He said he opposes the movement to legalize marijuana and agreed the country has to do a better job communicating to young people the implications of illegal drug use. Romney said he opposed the recently passed heath care reform act which he referred to as Obama Care. If elected president, he said he would give all 50 states a waiver

from Obama Care. He said a better approach is to let the individual states fashion their own plans to deal with the uninsured as he did when governor of Massachusetts. Romney said he would also let the states decide how to spend federal Medicaid dollars rather than let the federal government mandate how the states spend that money. Noting that he ran for president in 2008, a woman asked Romney what he has learned in four years that will help him become president. Romney said he was told that politics is a lot like surfing. “To be successful in politics, you have to be a good politician and you have to catch a good wave,” he said. “And right now the issue the American people care most about - and that I care deeply about and have for a long time - is the economy, short term and long term. That’s what I know. That’s in my wheel house. What America needs and what I know have come together in a way that will help me, I believe, be successful in getting the nomination.” He said the other thing he learned is to make sure people know what he stands for and what his values are. “I believe in the principles that made this country great. I don’t believe we need to change the principles of America. I believe we need to restore them”. If he is successful in winning the Republican nomination, Romney said he feels he can beat Obama. He said the president has made a lot of mistakes. “He’s on a bus tour today - second day of his bus tour. His second day of campaigning will not make up for 938 days of failure,” Romney said of Obama.

AYOTTE from page one

Joined by state Senator John Gallus, Ayotte spent about an hour walking through the largely vacant prison. Schult said there is a staff of 16 maintaining the facility and preparing for when it does open. Ayotte noted it is costing taxpayers about $4 million a year to maintain the empty prison. “Here we have a brand new, stateof-the-art facility that is ready to house inmates -- the only thing that’s missing is the staff,” said Ayotte. “I will continue to work with Bureau of Prisons officials to try to open the facility as soon as possible. Getting the Berlin prison operational will help address dangerous overcrowding in the federal prison system while simultaneously creating job opportunities.” The prison will employ approximately 340 full time staff. Gallus said the $38 million spent annually on payroll and services will do much to stimulate the local economy. Schult noted that in recent months, much of the furniture for the prison has arrived. All of the inmate beds and lockers are in place. Still to come is the furniture for the front staff. In addition to checking the inmate housing and recreational facilities, Ayotte asked about rehabilitation programs. Schult said the bureau has a reentry program and rehabilitation efforts start when an inmate enters the system as opposed to past practices when rehabilitation did not begin until an inmate was nearing the end of his or her sentence. As a medium security facility, Schult said a majority of the inmates will be serving time on drug charges. Inmates are required to work while incarcerated, doing various jobs such as landscaping, shoveling snow, food services, and mechanical.

The 679,909 square foot prison on a 707-acre site is designed for a maximum capacity of 2,052 inmates including a 128-inmate work camp. The facility was completed last fall but Ayotte said because Congress did not pass a budget in 2011, the bureau has been funded under a continuing resolution that does not include money to operate the prison. “We have to get the budget process going,” she said. Ayotte said she was appointed to the Senate budget committee as its newest member but the committee has yet to get the budget process underway. Ayotte said getting the prison funded is a top priority for the entire New Hampshire delegation. In May, she wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder, Acting BOP Director Thomas Kane, and other federal officials to ask the bureau to redirect funds in its fiscal 2011 budget to staff and open the prison. In a June 223 meeting in her office, Ayotte said BOP Assistant Director William Dalius said opening the prison is a top priority for the bureau. U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen this spring did a tour and interview on the prison with NBC Today show reporter Kelly O’Donnell. “We have to keep the attention on this issue,” Ayotte said. Schult said she is grateful for the support of Ayotte and the delegation. She said once a budget is approved, it will take six months to hire the necessary staff and eight to nine months before inmates are moved in. A local Talent Team is working to help local people prepare for prison jobs and get area businesses ready to bid on goods and services. Schult said the prison is already purchasing some local goods.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis job is to simply hack away. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Knowing when to stop is a kind of art. Your restraint is matched only by your powers of observation. You wisely sense that going past the point of diminishing returns is a waste of time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll experience some fun piece of luck that was set up by you at an early date and then forgotten about. This is akin to finding money in the bottom of your purse or sock drawer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you made a difference in someone else’s life. This happens whether or not the person in question thinks to thank you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In just a few minutes, you can easily accomplish the thing that takes others hours to do. This could make you secretly smile. It could also inspire you to start teaching others what you know. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll have the satisfaction of an accomplishment like getting to the gym, sending out a thank-you note or finishing a long novel. This is as good a reason as any to celebrate yourself. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 18). You’ll dig deeper to make your dreams real. Through the next 10 weeks, you’ll broadcast what you’re about and what you want. In February, a fantastic opportunity is handed to you precisely because you got the word out. Small, intelligent moves will set big projects in motion in October. December is romantic. Pisces and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 41, 24 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are an artist, even when you don’t mean to be. You’ll take your way of looking at the world and bring it to others on the planet in a way you hope they can understand -- that’s what artists do. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can’t expect yourself to produce without inspiration, motivation or reward. Find more that falls into those three categories, and your enthusiasm and energy will return. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Something small and personal will lead you to accomplish great things. In time, the small personal matter will seem so inconsequential to you, if you remember it at all. But the significant productivity that came of it will remain. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everyone has an opinion about what things are supposed to be like. You will make yourself open to other people’s ideas, but not so open as to discount your own point of view. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You would love to deny the raw, painful emotions, and yet those are the most valuable gifts of the day. The potential to heal and grow is buried in those feelings for the brave one who wants to dive in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you choose to dream, you’ll notice that your powers of visualization are enhanced. There’s something that you imagine will be hard for you to do, but you can and will do it. See yourself having an easy time of it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As any lumberjack worth his salt knows well, the first blow does not fell the tree. You’ll build something important in the next few weeks, and it will all come together in good time. For now, your

For Rent by Abigail Van Buren

MOM TURNS DAUGHTER’S WEDDING INTO A BATTLE WITH EX-HUSBAND

DEAR ABBY: I’m in a real pickle. My ex-wife, “Gloria,” and I have been divorced eight years, but have managed to remain civil to each other. Last year, my daughter had a big birthday party to which I wanted to bring a date. Gloria decided that she would not attend because it would be “hurtful” to see me with another woman. After my daughter called me in tears, I canceled my date and went to the party alone. Now my daughter is about to be married and I want to bring a date to the ceremony. Again, Gloria has announced that she will forgo the pleasure of seeing our daughter get married “so I can have my way and prove to the world I’m able to get a date.” My daughter is caught in the middle and wants us both there. I foresee a host of problems in the future if Gloria’s behavior continues. My girlfriend is understanding, but I wish I could include her in family activities, especially one-of-a kind events like weddings. Your thoughts, Abby? -- ARIZONA DAD IN CONFLICT DEAR ARIZONA DAD: Clearly you have gotten on with your life and Gloria hasn’t. Eight years is a long time, and by now your ex should have adjusted to the fact that you have separate lives. I, too, foresee a host of problems in the future if you and your daughter continue to succumb to her emotional blackmail. One solution would be for Gloria to bring a companion of her own to the wedding. Another would be for you to sit with your ex during the ceremony and with your girlfriend at the reception. But for Gloria to say that you only want your girlfriend with you at family events “so you can show the world you can get a date” is hostile.

If you don’t assert yourself and end your ex’s game-playing, what will wind up happening is you having to alternate celebrating milestone events in your daughter’s and eventual grandchildren’s lives. DEAR ABBY: I like to be tan. Sometimes I tan outside, but often that takes too long and can be damaging to the skin, so I opt for self-tanning lotion. But some people ask me if I have put on “fake-n-bake”! I feel this is rude. I don’t want to have to explain my desire for tan legs. I want people to believe the color is real. They do look that way, but because others are pale in comparison, I get asked about it. How do I reply without giving myself away? -- BRONZED BABE IN THE WEST DEAR BRONZED BABE: If people are asking you about the tan on your legs, face it, it doesn’t look real. Your problem may be that you are using the wrong product. Or, if you’re using it only on your legs, that could be what’s made it obvious to others. A possible solution would be to consult someone who works in a spray-tanning salon. DEAR ABBY: My friend, “Maggie,” had her flight home canceled and asked me if she could stay at my place overnight. I’m in a long-distance relationship and I felt my girlfriend of seven years would be uncomfortable with the arrangement. I asked Maggie to respect that and offered to book a hotel room for her instead. She was offended and ended our friendship. Do you think I was wrong? -- UNFRIENDED IN VIRGINIA DEAR UNFRIENDED: No, I think you were protecting what was important to you -- your girlfriend’s feelings. And I also think you made the right choice.

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

Riverside Speedway Late Model drivers set to run with the best in the Northeast GROVETON -- This coming Sunday at Riverside Speedway, Central Asphalt Paving and Munce’s Superior present the third annual running of the “Clash of the Titans” 150 lap $5000 to win Late Model race in Groveton starting at 1 p.m. Wayne Helliwell, Jr., and Quinney Welch have been the prior winners, however it is Groveton’s own Randy Potter that is itching to get his hands on the title of the race that has eluded him in the first two seasons. “The Riverside race teams have really stepped up their programs this season,” said General Manager Jean LeBlanc. “I believe the outside teams will be in for a real challenge this year. Jeff Marshall has been red hot since the Oxford 250 and Bryan Mason has work himself back into title contention. Jesse Switser was the faster time trialer last year and he finished in the top 10 in the race. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see his car running in the top five all race long.”

Island Pond Vermont’s Brett Gervais has been running very strong as of late and Corey Mason is coming off a huge payday taking the two day Late Model race during Summerfest. “We have some really competitive teams that have put on some awesome racing and finishes this year,” said LeBlanc. “Rookie Luke Shannon has recently won, and young racers Brandon Lambert and Paul Schartner, III, are no second rate racers. Derek Ming came to our last Late Model event and had a strong run from the back of the pack. All in all it looks like things are shaping up to be another super Sunday of racing.” Riverside Speedway will have the Thunder Road Street Stocks coming to the Groveton track for an event. Expect 20-25 racers to make the trek across the border. Add to that a couple of Riverside regulars joining their feature and it should be a great race. The Budweiser Super Stocks will be running their final points race to crown their 2011 champion and the first race for the chase will take place for the Jiffy Mart
