Opportunities, connections for vets and Voters may be asked to spouses at NC Veterans Conference BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — This Friday, Berlin will play host to a conference designed to bring veterans and veterans services all under the same roof. Dave Canter, a Vietnam veteran who pastors Lamb’s Chapel in Berlin, will be one of the presenters at the day-long event planned for the Berlin Armory on Route 16, and says he hopes plenty of veterans or their loved ones will at least stop in and see what’s going on. Canter, who got involved with the planning a few months ago, said that the state is estimates around 600 soldiers

have recently or will soon return from active duty. “One of the problems, is things never go back to the way they were,” he explained, noting that historically a return from war causes stress on both the veteran and their loved ones as everyone looks to restore their old roles. He speaks from experience, Canter said, having served in Vietnam in the late 60s. Coming back, one of the hardest things he describes is seeing the people he grew up with still doing the same thing. “They asked ‘so what was it like?’” he said, but they had no frame of reference for any see CONFERENCE page 6

reduce four wards to two BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- Dissatisfied with options for redistricting the city’s four wards, the city council is moving towards a ballot initiative to reduce the number of wards to two. For over a month now, the council has wrestled with how to reconfi gure the city’s wards to reflect the new U.S. Census population fi gures. The situation is complicated by the fact the 750 inmates at the state prison at the time of the census are counted as part of Ward III’s population. The addition of the inmates bumped up Ward III’s population and the city has been looking at ways to equalize the four wards. The task is made more diffi cult by census requirements guiding how the wards must be realigned. City Planner Pamela LaFlamme fi rst presented an option that would move 630 people from Ward III into the other three wards. Ward I would see VOTERS page 8

Coffee drinking linked to less depression in women

Morning pickme-up? For many women, the moodelevating effects of a cup of coffee may be more than ﬂeeting. A new study shows that women who regularly drink coffee — the fully caffeinated kind — have a 20 percent lower risk of depression than nondrinkers. Decaf, soft drinks, chocolate, tea and other sources of caffeine did not offer the same protection against depression, possibly because of their lower levels of caffeine, the authors say. Dr. Albert Ascherio, an author of the study and professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, said it was too early to recommend that women load up on extra lattes. More research is needed, he said, and “a very high level of caffeine can increase anxiety” and insomnia, potentially reversing any mood-lifting effects. A link between caffeine intake and depression had been suspected for years.

Senate reaches deal to avert government shutdown WASHINGTON — The Senate reached a bipartisan spending agreement on Monday to avert a government shutdown, sidestepping a bitter impasse over disaster ﬁ nancing after federal authorities said they could most likely squeak through the rest of this week with the $114 million they had on hand. After blocking one Democratic proposal, the Senate voted, 79 to 12, to approve a straightforward seven-week extension of ﬁ nancing for government agencies that were due to run out of money on Friday,

simultaneously replenishing accounts at the Federal Emergency Management Agency that this summer’s string of natural disasters had nearly exhausted. “It shows us the way out,” said Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic majority leader, who said the plan should be satisfactory to both Democrats and Republicans. “It means we no longer have to ﬁght.” The discovery by FEMA that it had money for the week was the key to the breakthrough since it eliminated one of the main points of contention: whether to offset a quick infusion

of funds to the agency with cuts elsewhere as House Republicans had insisted. Democrats in both the House and Senate said that approach would set a bad precedent. While the Senate actions appeared to head off a government shutdown for a second time this year, the embarrassing ﬁ ght over disaster aid pulled into sharp relief both the enduring, sinewy power of the Tea Party — and its deep impact on ﬁ scal policy — and Democrats’ revived pugnacity as they press President Obama’s jobs plan through next year’s elections.

U.S. Health Insurance Cost Rises Sharply, Study Finds

Israel, rejecting Palestinian demands, plans housing outside 1967 boundaries

The cost of health insurance for many Americans this year climbed more sharply than in previous years, outstripping any growth in workers’ wages and adding more uncertainty about the pace of rising medical costs. A new study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonproﬁt research group that tracks employer-sponsored health insurance on a yearly basis, shows that the average annual premium for family coverage through an employer reached $15,073 in 2011, an increase of 9 percent over the previous year. “The open question is whether that’s a one-time spike or the start of a period

JERUSALEM — Israel announced plans on Tuesday for 1,100 new housing units in an area of South Jerusalem outside Israel’s pre-1967 boundaries. The move reﬂ ects Israel’s continued rejection of Palestinian demands for a halt in settlement construction as a condition for peace talks. The Palestinian leadership immediately condemned the plan. The developments came at a time when the two sides are under international pressure to resume peace negotiations, on the heels of the Palestinians’ contentious bid for membership as a state in the United Nations. Over the last 18 months Israel has repeatedly made awkwardly timed announcements of building plans in disputed and occupied areas.

of higher increases,” said Drew Altman, the chief executive of the Kaiser foundation. The steep increase in rates is particularly unwelcome at a time when the economy is still sputtering and unemployment continues to hover at about 9 percent. Many businesses cite the high cost of coverage as a factor in their decision not to hire, and health insurance has become increasingly unaffordable for more Americans. Over all, the cost of family coverage has about doubled since 2001, when premiums averaged $7,061, compared with a 34 percent gain in wages over the same period.

No reduction in state snow plowing this winter BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BARTLETT — The N.H. Department of Transportation will plow snow the way it has in years past this winter. Ofﬁcials had unveiled a drastically reduced snow-plowing plan for the winter months due to budget cuts, but Tuesday reversed their position. Funding will be made available at the sacriﬁ ce of summer road maintenance projects. “I think it’s good news for the citizens of this state and tourists alike,” Rep. Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett), who also serves as chair of the Public Works and Highways Committee in the state House of Representatives, said by phone Tuesday. “I applaud the department on its decision and also want to commend them for all their work after the damage from the hurricane (Irene). The Department of Transportation did yeoman’s work to get things open as quickly as they have. They’ve also been great working with the town of Bartlett on our damaged roads.” The agency had been proposing to no longer plow some roads between 9 p.m.

and 4 a.m. and to let snow to build up higher than in the past before turning some crews out onto the road. That plan met with strong opposition. “DOT will be plowing the way they always have this winter,” Chandler said. Chandler, along with Kenneth Weyler, chairman of the House Finance Committee, Jim Rausch, chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, and Chuck Morse, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, who all opposed the proposed plowing changes, had been scheduled to meet with Christopher Clement Sr., commissioner for DOT, the day after Tropical Storm Irene hit the Granite State last month. “We just met today,” Chandler said. “We learned that the plans have changed and plowing will remain as it has in the past. (DOT) has some possible changes planned for next year and I have agreed to chair an ad-hoc committee that will look at them. For this winter, as I already said, it will be business as usual.” Clement made the announcement last Wednesday in a four-page letter to the Fiscal Committee. He wrote: “The Department of Transportation

But big reduction in summer projects BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONCORD — New Hampshire Department of Transportation commissioner Christopher Clement Sr. announced Wednesday that the state’s snow-plowing plan will remain the same in the Granite State this winter. However major changes will come to summer projects to make up for a reduction in DOT’s budget. Clement outlined the cuts in a fourpage letter to Rep. Ken Weyler, chairman of the Fiscal Committee in the State House. Clement wrote: DOT was asked to cut its budget by $27,562,749 for the end of 2013. Clement proposed the reduction of 68 positions including benefi ts and the transfer of employees to other agencies within the department which accounted for $9,512,281 and the highway fund appropriation will be reduced by $18,050,468. Clement outlined the impact of these budgetary moves. * Bridge maintenance: Due to a reduction in personnel it is anticipated that only 16 bridges will be removed from the ‘red list’ this biennium (30 were removed in the fi scal year 2010-11). Bridge work for bridges found to be in poor condition through the inspection process will have the work postponed to future years. It is possible that some bridge may require town posting of closure due to lack of adequate bridge repair or replacement funding. Bridges that may be adversely affected include ones in the towns of Alstead, Canaan, Chichester, Effi ngham, Errol, Francestown, Franconia, Hampton Falls, Peterborough, Portsmouth, Sandown, Swanzey, Temple and Warren. * Pavement Markings: The cen-

terline stripe on un-numbered statemaintained routes with an average daily traffi c under 6,000 will be repainted every other year or every third year instead of every year. * Traffi c Control for Pavement Markings: Traffi c control for painting operations will be performed by highway maintenance personnel, saving up to $300,000 in temporary employee compensation. The downside of this initiative is that there will be fewer employees available for other highway maintenance in the highway districts. * Snow and Ice Program: Existing policy retained. * Guardrail Repair: Repair of damaged guardrail will be reduced by 60 percent and will be accomplished by repairing sections that are a high priority safety hazard. Repairs for lower priority safer hazards will be deferred. * Drainage: An 80 percent reduction in highway drainage maintenance will be required. Maintenance of ditches and catch basin cleaning minimize the potential for erosion and roadway damage during heavy storm events that occur when culverts and ditch-lines have reduced capacity due to sediment buildup. Drainage cleaning will be reduced to just the use of state equipment for this work. * Roadside Sweeping: This will be reduced by 80 percent, which will result in a greater amount of material entering drainage structures and ditches. * Mowing: Mowing will be reduced by 75 percent and only accomplished using state equipment (no privately contracted mowing) with safety concerns targeted first (sight line issues). * Tree Trimming: A reduction of 65 percent results in work being performed when a pressing need exists to remove hazardous trees. Pre-emptive work will not be performed.

faces significant challenges striving to balance the complexity of budgetary constraint with effective and effi cient delivery of service. In a sincere desire to reach that balance and provide a plan to fulfi ll the legislative mandate to further reduce the department’s budget, a plan was drafted and submitted for consideration by the Fiscal Committee. Included in this reduction was a $5 million reduction in highway operations. The department looked at the areas in the highway operations for cost saving measures and had submitted a plan that included approximately a 6 percent reduction in winter maintenance costs achieved with a modifi cation to plowing policy on low-volume roads during off-peak travel hours. “Subsequent to the release of this plan, the department received substantial feedback from the public, from our business partners and from the legislature. Based upon this feedback the department will not be modifying the winter maintenance policy for this coming season. Further reductions in other program areas will be made in the interim within the same lines of

the budget in an effort to gain the mandated budgetary reductions.” DOT had said that the move to a reduced plowing schedule was necessary due to a reduction in state highway funds. Department spokesman Bill Boynton said DOT lost 42 employees to budget cuts (there are still about 800 employees). Its budget was cut 11.5 percent; the budget is expected to be cut an additional 11 percent in 2012 and 13 percent in 2013. There was a 25 percent reduction in the state’s sand and salt budget. A major factor in the DOT’s budget had stemmed from revenue generated from a $30 motor vehicle registration surcharge, which the Republican-controlled legislature voted not to renew. The surcharge brought in roughly $90 million in revenue over two years and went mostly toward highway maintenance. “Right or wrong,” Chandler said, “when we on the Republican side (gained control of the House and Senate) we determined we weren’t going to have any tax or fee increases. I believe most people are glad to see that tax go away.”

Paul Letarte Invitational Cross Country Meet/Homecoming a success To the editor: This year’s Paul Letarte Invitational Cross Country Meet and Homecoming went off without a hitch thanks to a lot of help from some dedicated people. Several of us promised Paul before he passed away that his race would endure. Without the help of countless volunteers it never would have been the tremendous event it was. One of the fi rst people I would like to thank is Lucy Letarte. Without her expertise, and contacts, we would have been fi nished right at the start. Along with Lucy, a lot of credit for this meet goes to Craig Melanson, our athletic director. He defi nitely went above and beyond and he and Lucy kept me calmed down when I was tearing my hair out over the planning of this meet and the computer problems I encountered. I also owe a huge debt of gratitude to all those who helped out during our meet. The Backers who provided food and refreshments for over 430 runners, Tess Letarte singing the National Anthem, Tom Sweeney, Patty Hood and Steve and Melinda Enman who helped with timing and keeping runners

in line. Also, the countless parents and former athletes who helped out making sure runners didn’t get lost on the course, sold tee shirts and made that meet run so smooth that I actually was able to go out on the course and cheer on my runners. I would also be remiss not to thank Great Glen for the use of their trails and Mary Tyler at Great Glen for all her help. I also appreciate the help we got at homecoming from Lucy, Carol Chabot and again Steve Enman. It was nice to have a math teacher and former runner scoring our meet. This meet and homecoming were tributes to Paul Letarte, but most of all showed how a community of parents, athletes, teachers, and administrators can come together and make sure a 10 year tradition started by a dedicated coach lives on. In closing, I would like to especially thank my runners, especially the seniors, who worked so hard to make this happen. Lindsay, Shamus, Jake, Nathaniel, and Tyler, you made Paul proud, and kept the promise. Bob Lord Berlin

Prius 2007 It was March of 2007 when I, recovering from a car accident in January, leased a new Toyota Prius. My 2003 Honda Accord, which was also leased, had been totaled in the accident, so I was in need of some transportation. Leasing the Prius, which had seemed like a good deal at the tine, has proven to have been just that. I’ve simply grown to love the car. It not simply the miles per gallon, which at 53.8 is perfectly terrifi c, but lots of other things too which has stirred my passion. First there is the size. It’s kind of compactmid size. It’s a little longer and higher than a compact and a little smaller than mid-size. Since I’m a fairly tall person at six feet two inches, having a couple of inches too spare in height inside is a real luxury. The car seats fi ve people comfortably with plenty of front seat room to spare. It has a console between the front seats for drinks and change. There is a box with a cover which is large enough for a small box of tissue. Very convenient and compact. The ease and comfort for driver and passengers is really fine. And then there is the fun of operating the vehicle. Because the Prius is a hybrid it has two sources of power. The large battery or the small gasoline engine, it was important to allow both to be utilized separately or simultaneously without the driver having to do anything special. Just driving the car normally allows both sources to work. But there are gauges and instrumentation which show which or both are providing the motivation at any given time. By reading these, a driver may make certain adjustments to utilize them differently in powering the car. Some drivers take great delight in using

techniques that substantially increase gasoline mileage.by getting more from running the engine on the electrical power from the large battery. While I enjoy doing that, I seem to have settled on a driving technique which provides optimum usage from each source. I do monitor the instruments, however, to stay sharp on mileage issues. While modem cars have ﬂ exible gearing, the Prius has just two gear positions, drive and reverse. It beeps like a truck when in reverse and a camera lights up to show the way when backing up. That takes a little getting used to as the distances are distorted, but, for older drivers like me, not having to turn around while in reverse has proven to be a real boon. The car does have a third gear position called braking. It’s like shifting down a regular car to provide some slowing of the engine while going downhill. It works great, for example, coming down Gorham Hill. While the Prius doesn’t have four wheel drive, it does have a limited slip differential. This allows the power to be shifted from one front wheel to the other when going up slippery hills. It seems to work but it requires stepping hard on the gas when your instinct is to ease off. It is the one thing about the car which gives me caution. As I said, I love my Prius. While it may cost a bit more initially, the savings on gas mileage more than makes up for that. With my lease coming to an end in 2010, I bought it out, and am on my way too owning my car out rightly. I do have one word of warning for new Prius owners. With plus 50 miles per gallon, it’s awfully easy to forget to ﬁll it. I’ve run dry twice. Better get AAA when you get yours!

Northern Forest Heritage Gardens there for all to enjoy To the editor: If you haven’t noticed the colorful Heritage Gardens next to the Brown Company House at Northern Forest Heritage Park (the Park) in Berlin you really should take a look next time you drive by. Many families have stopped by the Heritage Gardens to use the glowing fl oral display as a background for many different photo opportunities. People stopped by to pose in their wedding ensembles and the bright Heritage Gardens were very popular for prom photos as well. Gorgeous babies posed in front of the beautiful display of fl owers while moms and dads were twisting their own bodies in unimaginable ways to snap the perfect picture of their darling children. There were even photo opportunities for pets as well. Then a few photographers were spotted taking several close-up pictures of the delicate flower petals. The Heritage Gardens are there for everyone to enjoy. Anyone can feel free to stop by and browse through the Gardens for photo opportunities or just to relax. The Heritage Gardens are pruned, trimmed and maintained through the watchful eyes and talented people of the Heritage Garden Club! The Gardens adjacent to the Brown Company House were historically the pride of the community. Jack Story, the garden caretaker from 1928 to 1950 tended the gardens year round with an ever-changing array of beautiful cultivators blooming throughout the seasons. Mr. Story’s work continued after the 1950s by Brown Company employees until the gardens were later dismantled. In 2000, a group of concerned gardeners began a restoration project of the gardens and held two consecutive yearly

Lilac Festivals. The Heritage Garden Club was formed in 2005 by local garden enthusiasts committed to long-term sustainable garden restoration and the addition of colorful gardens on the Heritage Park Campus. The restoration of the historic gardens and enhancement of the entrance to the Logging Camp Interpretive Center with colorful inviting gardens has been the club’s focus. Today, the majority of the gardening work is completed in May and September with weekly gardening sessions by all members of the club to amend, edge, plant and mulch. During the months between club members rotate on a weekly schedule to water, deadhead, and weed as needed. Current club members include Brad and Sue Wyman, Jean Scolere, Jean Malick, and Marcia Lee. Marcia is the chairperson of the Garden Club. Ironically enough none of these people live in Berlin! The care and patience the club displays is remarkable! However, they could use some help! Volunteers are special people! Volunteers are the core of any community! The impact of volunteer work is immeasurable, making our Androscoggin Valley communities a better place for everyone! The main beneﬁ t of volunteerism is doing something good and feeling good about what is being done! Volunteers have an opportunity to gain skills and build relationships. If you have some time and an interest for gardening please call the Park at 752-7202 your help will be much appreciated! The Lumberjack Competition & Festival is this Sunday October 2.

Ham and bean fundraiser for Meals-On-Wheels BERLIN -- This Saturday, October 1, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. the community is invited to a New England style ham and bean dinner at the Berlin Senior Center. This annual fundraiser dinner offers a menu that will consist of homemade beans, baked ham, fresh baked biscuits, coleslaw, coffee or tea and a gingerbread dessert at the cost of $6.50 per person with children $5. There will be take-outs orders available or dine-in at the large community dining room that hosts the daily congregate noontime senior meals and Friday breakfasts from 8-10 a.m. The take-out meal price for food is $5. The Senior Center is located in the Guardian Angel School CONFERENCE from page one

explanation he could come up with. There were plenty of challenges at home as well, not just in the community, Canter said. He acknowledged the stress war puts on a marriage and said after 41 years of marriage to his wife Linda, he knows the return and aftermath can be diffi cult on a spouse. They have to deal with new behaviors and often don’t know how to react, he said. That’s one of the reasons that Linda will be speaking at the conference as well, sharing her experiences and insight. Calling it a “tough issue” Canter noted that combat veterans often have trouble making their marriages work. We want to try and offer them hope, Canter said. “There is normalcy.” One of the purposes of Friday’s conference is to address some of these issues, while also offering a connecting point for veterans to get information on services available to them. Various veterans agencies will be on hand, as well as local health and human service agencies, and the Veterans Administration. Social groups and well as support groups will be represented and information on benefi ts, services and even a Mobile Vet Center will be available at the event. The conference, entitled Celebrating Generations, is open to all veterans regardless of age and confl ict. Canter said he hopes that veterans are encouraged to come by a climate of national support, in stark contrast to what he and his comrades experienced after Vietnam. Currently, he’s running into reluctance from other veterans he knows. “It opens wounds they’d rather leave closed,” he said. Canter also pointed out that often veterans struggle with dealing with

Community Center in Berlin’s east side and is a comprehensive center for area senior citizens. The proceeds of the dinner and bake sale will go to Senior Meals home delivered meals-onwheels program. Last year over 106,000 hot meals were delivered into the homes of the frail elderly in Coos County providing nutrition and daily safety checks for the home bound. Senior Meals is part of Tri-County Community Action Programs. For more information on the ham and bean dinner contact 752-2545 or for information about the services available for senior citizens in the community please contact 752-3010. the aftermath of deployment and turn to alcohol and drugs. “The guys come back and that’s where they hide,” he said. That’s one of the things this conference and other local efforts are hoping to help prevent or address. “We will direct them the right way and help them make those contacts,” Canter said of anyone with inquiries about addiction, homelessness, depression or medical issues as it relates to veterans. A group just gaining traction in the area that Canter has ties to as well will be on hand. Vet to Vet, which meets in Gorham on the ﬁ rst and third Tuesdays of each month at 6:30 p.m. At the Family Resource Center, will have a table at the conference. Vet to Vet is a place where vets can just talk with other vets and not professionals. Canter said the focus is on sharing life experiences as opposed to war experiences as a way of supporting each other. The North Country Veterans Conference was put together through the work of the North Country Veterans Committee, which includes government and health agency ofﬁ cials, as well as representatives from various community and veterans’ groups. Registration is free and lunch is included. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 30 at the Berlin Armory on Route 16. Featured speakers include General William Reddell, Adjutant General of NH National Guard; Robert Walter, Director of White River Junction VA Medical Center; Pastors David and Linda Canter; Retired Major General Gale Pollock, Acting Surgeon General, Army Medical Department and 22nd Chief of the Army Corps.

GROUNDBREAKING from page one

Burgess BioPower - presumably after the former Burgess pulp mill that occupied the site. In a press release issued Monday, Cate Street Capital said it had managed to secure an investment grade rating for the $275 million financing package for the project in what it described as a very challenging capital market. The company said Prudential Capital Group was instrumental in securing the investment grade rating. Through its Electric Finance Group, Prudential Capital Group was the lead lender providing senior secured debt to the project. “Completing project finance, especially of this size, that incorporates New Markets Tax Credits, Section 1603 Grant in Lieu of Investment Tax Credits, and senior debt is not an easy undertaking,” added Halle, “and Prudential assisted and guided everyone involved in successfully navigating its complexity.” Starwood Energy Group and Cate Street Capital provided equity financing and Starwood also provided certain debt-financing to the project. Babcock & Wilcox have been awarded a $186 million contract to convert the former chemical recovery boiler into a bubbling fluidized bed boiler. A subsidiary of B&W, Delta Power Services, was awarded a six year contract worth more than $19 million to provide operations and maintenance services for the plant. While the Portsmouth-based Cate Street Capital is breaking ground in Berlin for the biomass plant project, it is moving aggressively on the purchase of two paper mills in Maine. Cate Street is scheduled to finalize the purchase of the East Millinocket and Millinocket mills this week. The Bangor Daily News reports the company has a full year of orders for the East Millinocket mill with an Oct. 30 deadline to get the first order shipped. While Cate Street Capital plans to re-open the East Millinocket mill by Oct. 10, no opening date ha been set for the Millinocket mill.

Medical Department and 22nd Chief of the Army Nurse Corps will be speaking on Generations of Service. Major General William Reddel, Adjutant General of the NH National Guard will be presenting on the activities of the NH National Guard, and Vietnam Veteran David Canter will be speaking on his experiences during Vietnam, as well as upon his return. “Close to 40 agencies will be available during the day to provide assistance with VA enrollment and beneﬁts, services for family members, care-giving supports, homeless information, and much more,” said Jo Moncher, Bureau Chief of Community Based Military Programs with DHHS. “The event will also host an Intergenerational Panel of veterans and family members who will share their personal experiences – from World War II to today – including the people, agencies and resources that have helped them along the way.” The White River Junction VA Medical Center will have staff available from numerous program areas to meet with veterans privately and to answer any

questions they may have. The NH National Guard will also have a strong presence. “This conference is an opportunity for veterans of all generations to understand the support they have available to them as members who have served our great military,” said Brigadier General Carolyn Protzmann, Deputy Adjutant General for the NH National Guard. “So often veterans, whose job is to serve, ﬁnd it difﬁ cult to seek help; after all, they are the ones this nation relies on for our freedom, they are the ones we seek for support in response to our nation’s call. We welcome all veterans and families to participate in this conference, to listen to the discussions, make connections with other veterans and to visit face to face with those agencies committed to their well-being.” The Patriot Guard Riders will be providing a Flag Line at the entrance to the Berlin Armory, the Mobile Vet Center will be available throughout the day to provide supports, and patriotic songs will be performed during lunch. This conference promises to be a great day for NH Veterans and their families.

VOTERS from page one

pick up 216 people, Ward II 210, and Ward III 204. Councilor Mike Rozek would be moved from Ward III to Ward I. Much of Cates Hill would also go from Ward III to Ward I. The council asked Laflamme to come back with another option. The second option moves people from Ward III into Wards II and IV and from Wards II and IV into Ward I. From Ward III, 327 people would be moved into Ward II and 313 into Ward IV. Ward I would pick up 103 people from Ward II and 145 people from Ward IV. Mayor Paul Grenier said if the first option was unacceptable, the second option was worst. He noted under Option 2, people living near the V.F.W hall would become part of Ward IV. Laflamme agreed that there is a lot of displacement in both options. Grenier said he believes neither option would be approved by voters at next January’s presidential primary. He said that would force a special election at a cost of $7,000 to $8,000 He said it may be time to propose a charter revision that would divide the city into two wards an east ward and a west ward. Two councilors would be elected from each ward and four would be elected from the city at-large. City Clerk Debra Patrick said the council needs to make a decision on redistricting at its Oct. 3 meeting to get it on the primary ballot. The council has already missed the deadline to get it on the ballot for this November’s city election. Patrick said the council does not have enough time to place a referendum question on the January ballot to establish a charter revision commission to look at the city’s political structure. She said a 180-day notice is required. A redistricting plan must be approved by mid-2012 for the state election that year. Councilor Tom McCue emphasized the upcoming elections in November and January will use the existing four wards. Laflamme said she would look at setting up two wards. City officials noted the entire exercise will be repeated in ten years when the next census takes place. By that time, the federal prison with its 2,052 inmates will be operating. Laflamme said some states have proposed that the last known address for inmates be used as their residence. Rep. Gary Coulombe, (D-Berlin) warned the city needs to consider any change carefully. He noted that Coos County lost population in the last census and is likely to lose at least one state representative as a result of the 2010 census. He said the prison population may help the county avoid losing seats. With an 11-member delegation, Coulombe said the county can ill afford to lose representatives. Coulombe, Reps. Yvonne Thomas (D-Berlin), Marc Tremblay (R-Milan) and state Senator John

Gallus (D-Berlin) were in to discuss legislation with the council. The council asked the legislators to support House Bill 293 which would phase out property tax exemptions for water and air pollution control facilities. City Manager Patrick MacQueen said the city has supported similar legislation in the past but it has always failed to pass the legislature. He said the exemption was set up when Clean Air and Water Acts were enacted and industries like the mill were required to add expensive equipment to comply. MacQueen noted current law requires companies to have pollution control equipment. He said local taxpayers are punished by the current exemption because they bear the burden of the lost tax revenues. Gallus predicted the bill will have a had time passing. He said opposition to the bill will come from lobbyists for the Seabrook power plant and PSNH’s Bow coalfired power plant. Thomas said towns near the Bow plant want to see additional pollution control measures there and are afraid supporting the bill will hurt that effort. Coulombe said a lot of representatives don’t have pollution control facilities and are influenced by lobbyists. McCue noted the bill phases out the exemption over five years to make it more acceptable. “It’s going to be a tough sell,” Thomas warned. The council voted to send a letter to the Municipal and County Government Committee expressing its support for the bill. Grenier asked for help reworking legislation that allowed the city to grant a property tax exemption for commercial and industrial construction. He said the city had enacted the measure but then repealed it when some logistical problems surfaced. The mayor said he wanted the party to apply for the exemption before the tax year so the city could budget for it. Grenier said he would like legislative services and the Department of Revenue Administration to work out the bugs in the legislation. Gallus said he would be willing to introduce the measure in the Senate and said he will put a holding place for it. The council also wondered if the legislature could do anything to stop adults from fishing at Little People’s Pond behind the former Bass Shoe plant. The pond, which is stocked by N.H. Fish and Game, is designed to be used solely by children. The pond is on private land. Tremblay said the deadline for House members to introduce legislation is passed. He said he maybe something could be done by administrative rule. Thomas said because the state stocks the pond, there may be no way to legally prohibit people from fishing there. Tremblay said he has a Fish and Game committee meeting and will check with officials there about the issue.

MOM AND DAUGHTER DISAGREE ON WHO SHOULD PAY FOR A DATE

DEAR ABBY: My mother and I had a debate about who should pay for dates. She thinks the man should pay, especially if sex is involved because “you don’t want to give it away for free.” I disagree. I say the man should pay for the ﬁ rst, and maybe the second date. After that, they can agree to alternate. I have been seeing a wonderful guy for about six months. I’m pretty sure I make more money than he does, but even if I didn’t, I don’t feel the need to be supported. I don’t agree the guy should always have to pay. Times have changed since my mother dated. What’s the general consensus on the subject these days? -- INDEPENDENT WOMAN IN MARYLAND DEAR INDEPENDENT: The consensus is that you’re right. Times HAVE changed since your mother dated, and furthermore, paying for a date does not give the payer any guarantee of sexual favors. While in some regions, cultures and age groups there may be the expectation that the man pays, in today’s world many women expect to pay their fair share after the ﬁrst couple of dates. In other words, it’s COMMON to split a check or share the cost of an evening’s dinner and entertainment. The idea that a woman should put out for the price of a burger is, thankfully, passe. And that’s for the best, don’t you agree? DEAR ABBY: I have known “Arthur” for more than 20 years. Since Day One, he has wanted more than friendship, but I made it clear that I never wanted more than a platonic relationship. I care about him, but have never had romantic feelings for him. We spend a lot of time together between relationships with other people. (I was married for eight years out of our 20-year friendship.) Arthur comes over -- we hang out, sometimes share a meal or watch a movie, etc. Then we go to sleep in my

bed. He SLEEPS in my bed, where there’s no hanky-panky. I’m content with things as they are. He makes me laugh and I feel good about myself. However, lately I sense he’s becoming too attached. I worry that I might be leading him on even though I’ve made it clear that I don’t want anything romantic or sexual. After 20 years, there are no gray areas left to analyze my intentions. My friends think what I’m doing is wrong, that I might be keeping Arthur from moving forward in his life. Keep in mind that I encourage him to go out with friends and to date. AM I doing anything wrong that may be hurting him in an indirect way? -- PLATONICALLY CONNECTED IN TEXAS DEAR PLATONICALLY CONNECTED: You are happy the way things are. Arthur appears to have accepted the relationship on your terms. While he may secretly hope that one morning you will roll over, open your eyes and realize that he’s Prince Charming, you have been honest with him from the beginning. I see no reason to end a relationship that is rewarding to both of you because your friends are meddling. Your friends should mind their own business. DEAR ABBY: I have a lot of health problems and need my rest. We have even disconnected the doorbell. So why do people ignore the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the front door and knock anyway? -- DISTURBED IN EUGENE, ORE. DEAR DISTURBED: Not knowing who’s doing the knocking, I’m guessing they’re people who are desperate to sell you something. Certainly no friend would behave that way. TO MY JEWISH READERS: As the sun sets tonight, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins. As we start this time of solemn introspection, let me wish you all, “L’shana tova tikatevu” -- may you be inscribed in the Book of Life for a good year.

Neither team managed a shot on goal in the second half. Berlin held a three to one edge in corners. Headed

WOODSVILLE -- Woodsville’s Shayna Matteson scored a pair of second half goals leading the Engineers to a 3-1 victory over the Gorham Huskies. Woodsville scored ﬁrst on an unassisted goal by Lynn Modele at 3:29 into the ﬁrst half for a 1-0 lead. The second goal of the game came from the visiting Huskies and the foot of junior Jessica Stewart at 16:03. There was no assist on the game tying counter and it was the third goal of the Fall for Stewart. The game was very physical throughout. There was a scramble in front of the Gorham net when junior defender Maggie Currier went to the ground and was inadvertently kicked in the back of the head. Matteson ended up with credit for the goal at 23:45 of the second half. Unfortunately, the Huskies had lost one of their key defenders to a concussion and trailed 2-1. Moments later, freshman forward Sarah Schoenbeck went down for the Gorham girls. The play was a 50/50

ball for a header. Schoenbeck’s concussion was very serious and may have ended her season early. The last goal was by #7 Matteson of Woodsville, her second of the game at 66:30 to make it a 3-1 fi nal score. Both injured Gorham girls, Sarah Schoenbeck and Maggie Currier, stayed over night in Hanover with concussions. Schoenbeck the worse of the duo, had a longer stay. Both girls are currently back home and healing from their injuries. For the game, Woodsville had three corners, fi ve shots, and their keeper made two saves. For the Huskies, Casandra Poulin and Brook Nadeau split the goal tending duties. Gorham had six corners, six shots, and three saves. The win moves Woodsville to 6-1 on the year while Gorham is 3-4. The Huskies host Profi le for Homecoming and then travel to Moultonborough to battle the Panthers. WHS 1 2-3 GHS 1 0-1 Scoring: WHS- Matteson 2, Modele, GHS- Stewart.
