Police defend year-end spending Leftover funds used for equipment purchases instead of being returned to taxpayers

CONWAY — Instead of turning leftover money back to the taxpayers at the end of the year, police have been spending it on equipment.

The department spent thousands of dol-

lars on equipment in the final days of 2008 and 2009, ensuring very little money was left over to return to the general fund at the end of the year.

“My first question is how much does the town expect back?” police chief Ed Wagner said. "We can spend that money basically any way we see fit."

On December 30, 2008, Wagner told the police commission there was roughly $40,000 left in the budget from medical insurance savings and officer retirements.

Over the course of that day, the day before and the day after, the department spent see POLICE page 16

Indiana Democrats leave state to avoid union vote

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

INDIANAPOLIS (NY Times) — Most Democratic members of the Indiana House of Representatives have decamped for Illinois, stalling even routine legislation in the state house Wednesday in order to avoid being forced to vote on legislation that includes a bill that would allow workers in pri-

vate sector unions the right to opt out of their unions and not pay dues.

The Democratic lawmakers, who are in the minority in the House, have refused to attend the chamber’s sessions in order to prevent a quorum.

And despite a pledge from Gov. Mitch Daniels, a Republican, not to send state troopers after

them, the Democrats said that they thought it best to secretly leave the state Tuesday night.

The Democrats, who are staying at a hotel in Urbana, Ill. — about a two hour drive across the state line from Indianapolis — say they do not plan to return until Republicans make concessions, including withdrawing several bills.

U.S., in shift, sees Marriage Act as violation of gay rights

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama, in a major legal policy shift, has directed the Justice Department to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act — the 1996 law that bars federal recognition of same-sex marriages — against lawsuits challenging it as unconstitutional.

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. sent a letter to Congress on Wednesday saying that the Justice Department will now take the position in court that the act should be struck down as a violation of same-

Italy says death toll in Libya may be over 1,000

ROME (NY Times) — Italy’s foreign minister, Franco Frattini, said Wednesday that estimates of more than 1,000 Libyan civilians killed in clashes with security forces and government supporters “appear to be true.”

Figures for deaths in the Libyan unrest have been difficult to pin down. Human Rights Watch has confirmed roughly 300 deaths in the weeklong uprising, while noting that its estimate is conservative because of the difficulty in gathering information from morgues and hospitals when phone service is intermittent and the Internet is nearly blacked out.

Mr. Frattini did not explain the basis for his conclusion, and his spokesman, Maurizio Massari, said only that the information came “from sources that we believe to be credible.”

Italy, once Libya’s colonial ruler, has long and deep ties with that country, and Mr. Frattini’s comments carried significant weight.

On Tuesday the Libyan ruler, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, called Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, his first known direct outreach to a European leader.

sex couples’ rights to equal protection under the law.

“The president and I have concluded that classifications based on sexual orientation warrant heightened scrutiny and that, as applied to same-sex couples legally married under state law,” a crucial provision of the act is unconstitutional, Mr. Holder wrote.

The move is sure to be welcomed by gay-rights advocates, who had often criticized Mr. Obama for moving too slowly in his first two years in office to address issues that concern them.

NEW YORK (NY Times) — A clutch of enterprising shops opening in the last few months in New York represent a flowering in the doughnut arts.

Most bakers attempt fluency in the two major doughnut languages, cake and yeast. Dough, a modest little shop with a handmade feel, sticks to yeast, the better to fool around with clever new glazes: dulce de leche with toasted almonds, chocolate with cacao nibs, a vivid magenta hibiscus with hibiscus flowers.

At the Brindle Room in the East Village, or as it calls itself in its morning incarnation, Wonder City Coffee & Doughnuts, breakfast means doughnuts made from mashed potatoes, a style popularized by the dwindling Spudnut chain. The result is something of a hybrid, with a cake doughnut’s craggy roughness surrounding an un-cakey light interior. They are tender enough to be served on a plate and eaten with a fork.

Mark Isreal of The Doughnut Plant is a mystic technologist who makes jam from local fruit and talks about listening to the dough while devising new hoops for it to jump through. The square doughnuts filled with peanut butter and jelly are the most astonishing of all. Even the round creations, however, have the power to amaze with wonders like a crystallized ginger glaze on a doughnut for the Lunar New Year.

Man killed in Warner Bipartisan defeat for repeal of mandatory kindergarten break-in identified THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Thursday, February 24, 2011— Page 3

WARNER — A man shot and killed in a Warner break-in last month has been identified.

The attorney general’s office said Jesse Cook, 30, of Central Falls, R.I., died of a gunshot wound to the head after breaking into Gordon Smith’s home on Jan. 8.

Investigators said Cook committed an armed carjacking in Providence on Jan. 7. They said he held the female driver at gunpoint for a period of time during the carjacking.

The vehicle was later discovered in a parking lot off exit 9 on Interstate 89 in Warner. A New Hampshire license plate that was reported stolen on Jan. 8 was covering the Rhode Island plate.

Police said Cook held Smith, 82, against his will during the break-in for six hours.

Smith’s sons called the ordeal a “nightmare” and said Cook tormented him.

Investigators said that at the end of the ordeal, Cook put Smith’s hand on his gun and raised the gun to his head, and the gun went off.

The attorney general’s office said it has not been able to determine when and how Cook got the gun. Investigators said he had no criminal history, and they are examining his physical and mental health records.

Cook went by the name Ques Paulson and was a musician who performed in at least one Providence nightclub, playing guitar and singing under that name.

Anyone with information about Cook and what may have motivated him is asked to call state police at 223-4381.

BY TOM FAHEY THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — The New Hampshire House voted Wednesday to kill a repeal of the state’s mandatory public kindergarten law. The state has required all public schools to offer kindergarten since 2009.

Republicans and Democrats joined to defeat the repeal contained in HB 631 by a vote of 213-134. Only one Democrat voted for the repeal bill.

The House Education Committee had voted 12-3 to recommend defeat of the bill. Those who pushed for the repeal said the addition of public kindergarten to state school standards was an unconstitutional requirement, because the state did not fund it. In a majority report for members of the Education panel, Rep. Ralph Boehm, R-Litchfield, said that

“since every school district now has kindergarten, this bill would be superfluous.”

House Education chair Rep. Michael Balboni, R-Nashua, said among other problems, the bill failed to remove several references to public kindergarten in state law and in school standards.

State law that passed in 2007 required the last 11 school districts that did not offer kindergarten to make it available by 2009. Hudson was the last district to join in.

A Hudson legislator, Republican Rep. Lars Christiansen, has filed a grievance petition that seeks removal of Superior Court Justice James Barry, who rejected the Hudson School Board’s challenge of the kindergarten law. Hudson argued the law was an unfunded mandate barred by the state Constitution.

Photography studio owners sentenced for deceptive practices

BRENTWOOD — The owners of a Salem photography studio that failed to deliver wedding pictures to hundreds of couples pleaded guilty Wednesday to deceptive business practices.

Michael and Darlene Perotta, owners of Forever In Time, received suspended 12-month jail sentences and two years of probation and were ordered to pay $400,000 to the victims.

The court also gave the Perottas 45 days to give discs to about 200 couples still waiting for their wedding pictures so that they can get the photos developed elsewhere.

Some of the couples have been waiting years to get their pictures after the Perottas said a 2008 fire severely set back their business.

Jeb is not a radical environmentalist, but an average American who decides to take a closer look at our cultural love affair with plastics. Jeb’s journey in this documentary film starts with simple questions: Are plastic bags really necessary? What are plastic bags made from? What happens to plastic bags after they are discarded? What he learns quickly grows far beyond plastic bags.

Our leaders should lead from the front To the editor: Our “leaders” in Washington have said that we all need to make some sacrifices.

Now first of all, in my opinion, we have not had any real leaders for a very long time, but that is just one man’s opinion.

That being said, our leaders could show us that they can lead from the front. By that I mean let them show us some sacrifices that they are willing to make. They could do away with their pension system and go on Social Security along with the rest of us. In fact they could make the law retroactive and have it cut off all payments to those who are already receiving it. And for their health care, while in office nothing would change,

but upon leaving office it would go away. Let’s face it, no one in recent memory has left Congress or the Senate in Washington poor!

Now for all former presidents, we should means test what they get for moneys from the rest of us. If they have a net worth of say over $10,000,000, then they should have to pick up half the cost to protect them and the same with their health care.

Now this is not going to balance the budget over this, but it would show the rest of us that they are indeed leaders!

Now, I am not going to hold my breath waiting for this to happen, because after all none of them are true leaders!

Has the Death Squad now come to life?

To the editor: Has the Death Squad come to life?

This letter is intended to reach as many VA patients as possible.

I am sure that most of you know that the VA has already increased the co-pay again.

At $9 per prescription, I can do better with an insurance company. Recently we have been told by the Department of Veterans Affairs that they will no longer give a patient “Plavix” for more than two years. I know why. A friend just had to buy his refill over the counter at full price. One prescription for 90 days cost him over $500. As far as we know there is no substitute or generic, that will take the place of Plavix. After having four stints, starting in 2000, my cardiologist tried very hard to get me on a good medicine program and when he put me on Plavix my heart became stable. Since then I have not had any chest pain,

or any other heart problem.

Many of you like myself, were drafted during the Korean Struggle.

We served our country as was demanded. As I recall our starting pay was a whopping sum of $74 per month. I have not taken one penny for education or any other benefit, except for medication. Medication now costs me nearly $100 per month. I will have to pay nearly $200 for Plavix from any public pharmacy, Which will mean a total cost of $300 per month for medicine. Since all VA medical charges are paid for by Medicare, I think all Americans should be concerned.

I would like to urge veterans and all good Americans to write every senator, congressman and even the governor to stop the unreasonable approach to balance more of the budget on the backs of veterans.

Educational Excellence Excellence pervades many Mount Washington Valley primary and secondary school classrooms. The most important person in a child’s education is the classroom teacher. In looking to lift the quality of public education in the valley, a great place to start is by celebrating what is already done well, and honoring those teachers who model, inspire and raise the bar for our children.

This partial and somewhat random compendium of teaching excellence has serious gaps of omission. From my experiences only, these outstanding educators and approaches to teaching contribute mightily to the lives of the students they touch.

For the ultimate in setting a child off on the right foot into the world of formal education, Conway Elementary School’s Jan Hamel is it. Every one of her students is engaged at their level and the most critical tool for any young learner, reading, is met with distinction.

Some of my favorite moments as an educator took place in Ms. Hamel’s first grade classroom loft where children loved to sprawl and read on their own, or with any volunteer adult coreader willing to climb up there.

Unfortunately, the reading loft has been long since banned by fire marshals.

At Tamworth’s K.A. Brett School, the children in Mr. Krug’s third grade classroom invariably develop a sense of ownership. Responsibility for themselves, their classmates and their own schoolwork, is an attitude with which the children become so ingrained, that any substitute, or “guest teacher,” cannot help but be impressed. The range of academic aptitudes and abilities are invariably dramatic in any Brett School classroom. Yet one commonality shining through Mr. Krug’s students is a shared bond of learners committed to doing their best, and honoring each other and themselves through their work and their treatment of others. They are not all angels; when they are not, Mr. K’s students are held accountable and learn from it.

For a further example of this attitude, take any student learning in our local private Waldorf School. Those students are uncomfortable with disrespect in their classrooms and it carries outward when moving on to other schools or in their community.

Freedom Elementary School students have been incapable of arriving at Kennett Middle School without a firm mastery of basic math skills.

In this educator’s opinion, and as a parent of three children who passed various grades at Freedom and Conway Elementary, a most significant early influence was Ms. Shackford’s third grade classroom. For years, it has been impossible to move on from Grade 3 at Freedom Elementary without instantaneous mastery of basic mathematics addition, subtraction and multiplication tables.

This is due to flash cards. Rote and potentially boring, but Freedom third graders would likely vanquish many sixth graders from other schools who, when asked the product of 7 x 8, begin playing with their fingers, asking for a calculator, or searching for the “times chart.” By sixth grade, teacher

Todd Giles can indulge his passion for math education by engaging Freedom sixth graders at a high level of challenge.

Little Jackson grammar school is a great place for kids to be engaged in writing. If your child is naturally creative, hurray! If not so innately creative, a Jackson student will be moved to put pencil to paper. In the last decade, curriculum coordinator and writer Penny Kittle immersed several area schools in “the writing process.”

As most people accept intuitively, the best way to learn anything is to do it.

As skilled writing educators know, the best practice for learning or teaching to write is to write. The foundation of good writing becomes an attitude: that writing is an opportunity for expression, exploration and creativity, and that it is a process which is best shared with peers and peer editors.

At Jackson grammar school, young writers do not stare off into space looking for inspiration when given a writing assignment. (First off, they are not “given writing assignments.”)

They may draw, make brainstorming diagrams, wander to bookshelves, pick up old journals or writing files, approach a classmate or talk to themselves, but invariably student-writers become engaged. To a teacher not comfortable with entrusting their students, the casually apparent disarray of a Jackson classroom in action would be unnerving. But teachers like Margot Robert and Dexter Harding manage, cajole, model and inspire, and their student-authors produce written work of remarkable depth and interest well beyond their years.

At Kennett High School, it seems that the most common answer of top students to the query, “which teacher impacted you the most?” is Mr. Jack Hadam, biology teacher. When my son, as a struggling junior, wanted to drop college prep biology seven Septembers ago after two weeks of frustrations into the course, Mr. Hadam was quite direct during a student — teacher — parent conference. He explained the advantages of taking his course, and the avenues for support to success in it. It was always clear that there was never a question that the achievement bar would remain intentionally high.

Rather, sticking it out and meeting the class challenges proved to be a great education in how to learn, not just in biology.

Creating classroom environments of challenge and with tools for success; that is common to the classes of the preceding outstanding Mount Washington Valley educators. It is our task as a community to support such efforts, create further opportunities for like-minded teachers to thrive, and to develop a system which can do so in a manner which efficiently uses our financial resources and is respectful of the taxpayers’ capacity to support education. Attraction, development and retention of great teachers is a most central aspect of any successful school system. The valley can do better in this task.

We visited Bear Notch Saturday, where in addition to great skiing, we were very pleased with the homemade chili and chicken pot pie. All food is sold at Bear Notch’s warming hut using the honor system — which is the way life should be, right?

On Sunday, we skied at the worldrenowned Jackson Ski Touring Foundation. The Wave was in excellent shape, and just getting out there under the sunny skies was the best medicine any skier could ask for! *** VALLEY FUN: From sleigh rides see SNOW REPORT page 11

$23,951.39 on equipment and related expenses, including $5,779 on Pelican flashlights, $685 on a Sony dome camera, $3,085 on a Crest ultrasonic gun cleaning machine and $380 on pepper spray.

When the end of the year arrived, the day after the police commission meeting, there was $13,514.35 left to give back to the town.

The main point should be that the department stayed within its overall budget, Wagner said, and didn't overspend the amount allotted to it by the town. “The bottom line is it doesn’t really matter when we spend it, as long as it isn't overspent."

“If we didn’t give back a penny nobody could say a thing,” he said.

And nobody did say a thing that year. Or the following year, when the department bought two iForce bicycles for $2,780, a Samsung DVD/VCR recorder for $200, five EOTech holographic gunsights for $2,000 and a Nikon digital camera for $3,690 in the last two days of December.

The day before the spending spree started, the department told the police commission there was $5,000 to give back to the town. Two days later there was $46.06 left.

"The police department runs in a fashion that we are given a certain amount of money and we stay within those guidelines," Wagner said. “They’re not saying we’re giving you $2.5 million and we want to get back $100,000.”

In the last two days of 2009 the department spent $8,670 on equipment, more than twice the amount spent in the 11 months before. Police exceeded their $4,000 equipment budget by 220 percent, almost all in the last two days of the year, almost all after telling the police commission they would have $5,000 to give back to the town.

But that number was only an estimate, Wagner said. The department shouldn’t be criticized for not meeting estimates.

“We don’t do our own books,” he said. “We don’t know how much we’re going to give back until three weeks into the new year.”

2008 was a similar story, only more pronounced.

That year the department overshot its $4,000 equipment budget by $23,559, or 589 percent, again almost entirely in the final three days of the year.

One of the purchases that year was from a company called New England Positioning Systems, which does business under the name WASTE. The department spent $13,000 for a forensic mapping system and training materials.

“It’s probably saved us hundreds of hours of man-time,” Wagner said, by simplifying crime scene investigations with state-of-the-art equipment that frees up officers. The only reason they were able to buy it, he said, is because the department had money left over at the end of the year.

"Something always has to happen for us to have something left over," he said.

Many of the purchases were high-end equipment, like a Nikon D300 digital camera and an ultrasonic gun cleaning machine.

The department buys the best equipment it can with whatever money is left over, Wagner said.

“We don’t do anything that doesn’t require more professional equipment than anyone else.”

“It has never made any sense to go cheap,” said Lt. Chris Perley, the department's second in charge. “In this line of work, you go cheap you don’t go home.”

The police department only buys things it needs, Perley said. Police notice over the course of the year things they need that weren’t anticipated in the budget, he said, and at the end of the year they buy as many of those things as they can without exceeding the budget.

"It's very difficult with mathematical accuracy to speak about the budget before the end of December," he said. The money police have left over is thanks to “sheer luck and good budgeting."

“You didn’t find that we’re involved in some Ponzi scheme that’s making money for me and the lieutenant,” Wagner said. “It’s my position if we don’t spend it on something wasteful then the money is there” to spend on needed police items.

“These aren’t spur of the moment things,” he said. “We don’t buy things we don’t need.”

Will they do the same thing if they have money left over at the end of 2011?

“I don’t know,” Wagner said. “We’re not there yet.”

We are your exclusive dealer in the Mt. Washington Valley for Workers for N.H. Department of Transportation make repairs to the Jackson Covered Bridge Wednesday. (ERIK EISELE PHOTO)

Repairs continue on Jackson bridge following accident

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

JACKSON — It will be two weeks before the covered bridge in Jackson is repaired and reopens to traffic.

“We’re shooting for the eighth (of March) at this point,” said Doug Gosling, the head of bridge maintenance for the New Hampshire Department of Transportation. “The good news is it can be repaired.”

The car that struck the bridge on Saturday severed the first structural beams on one side of one end, he said, and damaged two others. They must now be replaced.

Part of the sprinkler system also has to be fixed.

“It’s not as easy as we’d hoped,” he said, but it’s not impossible.

“We’re in the beginning stages at this point,”

said Bobby Libby, the DOT foreman leading a crew exposing the broken timbers on Wednesday morning. The workers will be pulling off the the broken beams and replacing them with new ones, he said — a complicated process that will take about a week. The new beams will have to be cut to fit the mortise and tenon structure of the bridge, he said.

The bridge has been closed since Sunday, the day after 17-year-old Skylar Struble, of Center Conway, hit the bridge with his car. The accident occurred on Saturday afternoon. Struble was unhurt.

The DOT doesn’t yet have an estimate of the cost of the repairs, according to DOT spokesman Bill Boynton.

“Obviously it will be in the thousands,” he said.

“We do make efforts to recover costs whenever possible,” usually through the driver’s insurance company, he said.

His goal: “To make the monumental changes required to move New Hampshire back toward some sort of fiscal stability, the process and structures of putting the budget together must be modernized. Rather than use meaningless jargon like ‘zero-base budgeting’ or ‘starting from scratch,’ the state must create a performance-based budget system that establishes priorities and measures everything we do.”

CRUZ from page one

Cruz is accused of trying to kill Kenneth Osherow on Jan. 17 of 2009 at a vacation home at 19 Humphrey Street. For about two years, Cruz has been deemed incompetent to stand trial. He has been held in a secure psychiatric unit in Concord. In addition, the federal bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a detainer on him.

Prosecutors recharged Cruz with attempted murder after Superior Court Judge Steven Houran dismissed the original case on Feb. 15. Houran dismissed the case because Cruz had not been restored to competency as of the June 10 deadline. Houran noted the case should have been dismissed then. But in October, a doctor determined that Cruz was competent to stand trial.

"Dr. Cominsky acknowledges that when he previously evaluated Mr. Cruz, Mr. Cruz was very depressed and psychotic, but those symptoms are no longer present and his mental health problems now appear to be in remission," Houran wrote in one of his recent orders.

Houran dismissed the case without prejudice, leaving the door open for the prosecution to recharge Cruz. Houran also denied the defense's request that the court bar the state from charging Cruz again, according to assistant county attorney Susan Boone.

But public defender Jesse Friedman asked district court judge Pamela Albee to dismiss the case. When that failed, Friedman asked Albee to allow Cruz to go free on personal recognizance bail. Albee also rejected that argument.

"I don't know where there is some sort of constitutional test that says it's OK if they to have a good-faith basis to believe he's competent to rearrest somebody," said Friedman. "If the court were to buy their argument, at any time someone has been deemed incompetent and nonrestorable and the case was dismissed, the state on its own becomes the gatekeeper to decide when to swoop in and throw someone in jail. That doesn't seem right."

When the deadline ran out in June of 2010, Cruz had been deemed to be "incompetent and nonrestorable," said Friedman.

"Anything after June is null," said Friedman.

Further, Friedman argued the state should have reindicted Cruz instead of trying to rearrest him. Or the state could have sought other remedies over the last two two years but it failed to do so.

But Boone said it was necessary to rearrest Cruz instead of just waiting for the next grand jury to hand down an indictment.

"Otherwise, he may have been deported, sent out of the country, and it would be extremely time-con-

suming and expensive, if not impossible, to get him back in to face charges," said Boone.

The new arrest warrant was issued by Ossipee District Court Judge Robert C. Varney on Feb. 17. It lists Cruz's address as 14 Dawes Street 3 Dorchester, Mass. 02125-1722.

Albee determined that it's up to the Superior Court to determine if the deadline problem would prevent the case from moving forward. Albee agreed with Boone that the state has a good-faith basis to believe Cruz is now competent. But additional competency hearings should be dealt with at Superior Court.

On Tuesday, Friedman and fellow defense attorney John Bresaw told Albee their client needs an interpreter who speaks Portuguese.

So, the judge tried to accommodate the request by having a phone conference with an interpretation service.

But the first interpretation service representative, reached by phone, was unable to help because she wasn't properly certified for that type of case.

Eventually, the Conway court was able to connect with an interpreter who could help. Unfortunately, the phone disconnected again after the interpreter took his oath.

"It seems we are not able to appropriately conduct the arraignment today," said Albee.

Albee decided to postpone the arraignment until Wednesday at 11 a.m. On Wednesday, an interpreter was at the hearing. She whispered what was being said into Cruz's ear.

Friedman argued for bail, in part, because it's possible that he may be found not guilty by reason of insanity. Cruz has undergone two years of treatment.

"There's no doubt Mr. Cruz was in crisis, suicidal, psychotic, manically depressed at the time

of the offense," said Friedman. "If there were any presumption in this case it would be not guilty by reason of insanity."

But Boone said defendants facing life sentences aren't entitled to bail.

But Friedman said the prosecutors are putting the county through an expensive case even though the victim doesn't want it prosecuted and Cruz would probably be deported if the case were dismissed.

Last year, Osherow asked authorities to drop the case and simply send Cruz back to Brazil. At the time of the attack, Cruz had a green card and was in the process of applying for citizenship, said Osherow.

An affidavit for arrest filed by the sheriff's office gives a detailed account of the events that led to Cruz's arrest.

At about 2:40 a.m., county dispatch received a 911 call from Osherow stating that his friend stabbed him in the stomach and back. Once in the house, Conway police officer William Strong heard both men yelling for help. Osherow had a baseball bat in one hand and was fending Cruz off with the other, according to the arrest affidavit. "'You have to lock him up, he tried to kill me,'" Osherow is quoted in the affidavit as saying to responding officers.

Strong found a bloody knife on the first floor. Blood was splattered all over the first and second floors.

Upstairs, pills were scattered all over the bedroom floor and hallway. A comforter was thrown off a bed.

"All these facts indicate a struggle had taken place on all three levels," wrote Michael Santuccio of the Carroll County Sheriff's Office. Santuccio also notes that Cruz was uninjured.

Cruz told investigators that everything about the fight was explained in a large yellow mailing envelope that was in a bin on the first floor. The court documents don't elaborate much further about what the envelope contained.

During an interview at Memorial Hospital, Osherow told police that Cruz had been acting "strangely" before the attack. Cruz allegedly told Osherow that he "had to kill someone." Cruz had been a former employee of Osherow's and his romantic partner of five years. Osherow was the owner a Boston-based real estate firm, and Cruz was his property manager.

Last year, Strong and fellow Conway officer Sgt. Russell McLauchlan were presented the Union Leader Hero Award in Concord for their efforts to save Osherow.

Cruz is scheduled to appear in Conway District Court again on March 8 at 2 p.m. for a probable cause hearing. However, he may be indicted in Superior Court before that.

Hearing shines light on proposed regulations

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The planning board is holding a public hearing Thursday on changes to the rules regulating outdoor lighting.

The changes, intended to cut light pollution, would bring Conway’s rules in line with those of the International Dark Sky Association, which was founded in 1988 to address light pollution.

“We promote one simple idea: Light what you need, when you need it,” says the association’s website.

The proposed changes in Conway would take the current one paragraph lighting section of the site plan review regulations and add provisions limiting light output, the amount of total light one site could emit and how

much light can spill onto a neighboring property.

The regulations are meant to encourage “better distributed and less obtrusive” lighting, Conway planning director Tom Irving told the selectmen last week. “It establishes the maximum intensity of any individual lamp,” among other things.

The provision would also set the standard height for outdoor lights at 25 feet. The standard is currently 30 feet in commercial and recreational resort areas and 20 feet in other areas.

The new rules would only apply to properties required to go through site plan review — multi-family buildings and non-residential. Single-family homes and duplexes are exempted.

The public hearing is the second item on the agenda for Thursday’s meeting, which starts at 7 p.m.

Memorial Hospital infection control specialists talk about how they are keeping hospital infections at bay CONWAY — Memorial Hospital’s Rita Kostecke, MD , MPH, and Andrea Murphy, RN, CIC, employee health/infection control coordinator, work together as an effective team to minimize the risk or spread of infection in the hospital.

When asked, they both characterize each other as being a wonderful and important resource to the other.

“We like to put our heads together and discuss best practices, and to come up with the best course of action in a particular instance,” said Kostecke.

“Dr. Kostecke helps me to be more aware of the complexities of infection control, and we help each other keep learning,” said Murphy.

Both individuals credit the launch of their successful partnership to the 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak. “At the time, we formed an informal team that was very proactive and effective, and we continue to work together to keep the hospital infection free,” says Kostecke.

At Memorial Hospital, we have always been vigilant in maintaining a clean and healthy facility. We have strict strategies and polices in place to prevent and eliminate any pests we can see, or germs we can’t see,” said Murphy.

“Three or four years ago, when hand washing stats across the nation were less than laudable (at about a 30 percent rate), at Memorial Hospital, we began working to get our numbers up.

In just two years, we instituted a hospital-wide hand campaign that catapulted us from a 40 percent hand-washing rate to a 95 percent rate, well above the national average, “said Kostecke.

“We increased those numbers by engaging in a huge education

effort that used visual reminders in prominent places. In fact, you can’t go 20 feet in the hospital before coming across a Purell dispenser,” said Murphy.

“Influenza, colds and pneumonia are very seasonal, and during the time of year when these infections are rampant, they are high on our radar screens,” said Murphy.

“During a recent outbreak of the flu at Merriman House (Memorial’s long term care facility), strategies were put into place immediately to minimize the spread of the flu to other residents and staff as part of our effective infection prevention program. The measures were very successful in preventing further illness. ” said Kostecke.

We all know the best way to prevent accidents is to use caution.

The people who design our roads put up big flashing signs and lights to remind us to use caution. Public places use bright colored cones, wide yellow tape and neon signage to warn us of impending danger.

Still, we manage to slip on wet floors, crash at intersections, tumble down stairs and fall into holes all the while looking surprised. Often we subconsciously or consciously delude ourselves into thinking we know better or that warnings simply don’t apply to us. Sometimes, we are just so busy doing other things that we don’t even notice warning signs.

Either way, it’s a recipe for trouble.

Preventing a health crisis also requires us to use caution and heed warning signs. Some of those signs are subtle and some are very obvious.

One obvious but very potent warning sign is body weight. WebMd reports: “If you are obese, you are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, high blood

pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, coronary artery Suze Hargraves disease (CAD), stroke, and sleep apnea, among other conditions. If you lose weight, your risk for these conditions is reduced.” Determining your best weight is more than looking at a chart to see how tall you are. Today we use measurements called BMI and WHR to help people get to a healthy body weight.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is calculated using this formula: BMI = (Weight in Pounds / (Height in inches x Height in inches) x 703. I don’t know about you, but that’s too much math for me. There are thousands of online BMI calculators that will do it for you. An easy one-stop site for BMI info is www.bmi-calculator.net. Once you get your number, you can determine whether or not it’s a keeper or a reason for concern by checking the BMI chart on this site. see next page

Pets need dental care too

Why is tooth brushing important for dogs and cats? Just as in people, plaque buildup eventually leads to cement-like tartar and periodontal disease.

Bacteria, living in the plaque and tartar along the gum margins of the tooth, cause periodontal disease. These bacteria erode away the gums and eventually break down the ligaments that

hold the tooth in place.

They can cause painful tooth root abscesses as well as invade the bloodstream. Once in an animal’s blood, the bacteria settle out on heart valves causing valvular endocarditis, liver, and kidney disease. Small breeds of dogs are particularly prone to tartar, periodontal disease, and secondary heart disease as they age. Cats more commonly develop kidney disease as a result of poor dental health.

How does one go about brushing a pet’s teeth?

Using a soft brush is important.

Firm brushes tend to erode away the sensitive gums.

A narrow, long handled angled brush is helpful.

There are also finger brushes designed specifically for small dogs and cats. Enzymatic toothpastes are preferred over fluoride, and come in pet-friendly flavors. Pets don’t know to spit out the toothpaste, so fluoride toxicity is a concern. It is helpful to start the habit of daily brushing with young kitten or puppy, the extra attention and pet-friendly toothpaste make this a fun routine for most pets. The outer edges of the upper molars are most apt to collect plaque and tartar.

For those of us with too many pets, or too busy, a schedule a dental diet such as Hills’ Oral Care may be a more practical

option. Dental treats are also available.

When you bring your pet in for a yearly exam, your veterinarian will check your pet’s teeth, recommend dental care if needed, and discuss a daily brushing routine. Most dental care for pets is not complicated. If dental disease is caught early enough, a basic scaling and polishing will restore their teeth to a healthy state.

This always requires anesthesia for pets, so the tartar can be thoroughly removed below the gum line by scaling with special instruments, and then teeth must be polished to smooth the surface of the tooth to slow the build-up of new plaque and tartar. Sometimes antibiotics will be used to treat infections around teeth and prevent the need for extractions.

If the infection has eroded away most of the dental ligament holding the tooth into the jaw, causing a painful, loose tooth, extraction is usually inevitable.

Daily brushing your pet’s teeth helps slow down the progression of dental disease. You will also become more aware of the health of their teeth, and will be better able to recognize when a problem arises. Bad breath, skipping meals, see PETS page 24

Self empowerment workshop for girls planned for Feb. 26 Respiratory Syncytial Virus Dr. Brian Irwin

CONWAY — “Some of the most important life lessons aren’t taught in school”, says Lisa MacAllister, Clinical Mental Health Counselor. MacAllister is leading a workshop designed for teenage girls and self empowerment.

MacAllister believes a healthy self esteem is the foundation for success in every facet of life. MacAllister specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). “Basically CBT teaches people how to think differently. Most people aren’t born with self esteem, it is cultivated. I want to teach people how to think differently about themselves and the power they actually have in creating positive things in their lives.”

“Teenage years are so important because this is the time when they’re beginning to make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Good decisions can be the difference between from preceding page

More than that and you’re at higher risk for health problems including respiratory problems, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and stroke. This applies to men and women equally.

Getting to your correct numbers is critical to your health but remember you don’t want to cause a whole passel of problems while you’re trying to solve another. The Weight-Control Information Network reports that rapid weight loss (in excess of three pounds per week for more than two weeks) can cause gallstones.

The purpose of my work is to change the perception they have of themselves and their potential,” MacAllister says.

While future workshops will be available to adults, this self empowerment workshop is has been specifically designed for teenage girls.

The workshop will be held at the Met Coffee House in their community room on Feb. 26 from 4 to 6 p.m.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus, also known as RSV, is the virus responsible for one of the most common respiratory infections in young children.

By age 2 most children will have been afflicted with an RSV infection; fortunately most infections are relatively mild, although exceptions exist. RSV infections can recur later in life, so a history of catching it once does not guarantee immunity in the future.

RSV is contracted in the community. It’s caught via exposure to another person who’s carrying the virus and shedding it in their bodily fluids, namely nasal mucous. When that person sneezes, wipes their nose or coughs, anyone who has contact with those secretions can become infected. The peak season for RSV is November through April.

After the virus is introduced into a person’s nasal passages it begins to replicate and flourish. As it does, it spreads down from the nasal passages and into the upper airway and lungs. The result is the generation of inflammatory chemicals that increase mucous secretions and lead to sloughing of some of the cells in the airways. Eventually this debris leads to stiffening of the airways (which are usually stretchy) and the trapping of air.

The aforementioned process yields the cough and shortness of breath that are the hallmark of RSV infections’ most serious symptoms. Most younger children will develop a pneumonia or infection of the bronchioles (small airways), a condition known as bronchiolitis. In addition, some young children, especially premature babies, may have apnea (pauses in breathing) with RSV infections. Occasionally, apnea is the first symptom with which RSV presents.

The great majority of RSV cases

are diagnosed clinically based on a his- Dr. Brian Irwin tory and physical exam. Chest x-ray is helpful to identify a pneumonia, and blood tests are available to confirm the presence of RSV, however neither are used in the majority of cases, as most cases are mild and can be diagnosed and treated without such studies.

Antibiotics are not used to treat RSV unless a concomitant bacterial pneumonia exists. Steroids, which are often used to treat lung airway inflammation (as in asthma for example), have not been shown to make a significant difference in the course of disease. Some airwaydilating drugs like albuterol may help some patients achieve less labored breathing and more comfort and are often tried with variable success.

Although there is no cure for RSV, most cases can be managed by paying close attention to hydration and oxygenation. Young infants may require hospitalization to achieve these goals, as the coughing and shortness of breath can lead to poor oral intake and dehydration. The use of supplementary oxygen is used frequently in these settings.

While a very expensive vaccine for RSV does exist, it is only utilized for very young or otherwise at-risk children. This category would include preemies, those with chronic lung disease, those on chemo, patients with congenital heart disease and a select cohort of others.

RSV is very common, but in some cases can be very serious. We’re in the middle of RSV season now, so focus on hand washing, staying healthy and well informed.

or a reluctance to chew can indicate a problem and warrants a trip to your vet. Regular veterinary exams help ensure that your pet does not suffer from painful, broken, or diseased teeth, or infected gums. Taking an active role in your pet’s dental care will help reduce dental disease, bad breath, and potentially life threatening kidney, heart, and liver disease. Routine dental and oral care will help ensure you pet lives a happy and longer life.

Conway Veterinary Hospital holding open house

CONWAY — Conway Veterinary Hospital invites pet owners to bring in pets to enjoy open house festivities Saturday, Feb. 26, from 1 to 3 p.m. for refreshments, educational material, a hospital tour, free giveaways, a raffle prize and to learn more about the importance of pet oral health. We are inviting current and new clients to visit and receive free giveaways and free dental exams for their pets. “Our practice believes proactive wellness care is essential for a happy, healthy pet and oral care is one of the most overlooked but important factors of pet wellness,” said Dr. Cassell, practice owner of Conway Veterinary Hospital.”

Most of us wouldn’t dream of going even one day without brushing our teeth or skip out on regular dentist appointments. And who hasn’t experienced the excruciating pain of a toothache? We know the importance of healthy teeth and gums to our overall health and we seek immediate relief when we have a painful

dental problem. The same should apply for our pets.

Periodontal disease is the number one health problem found in pets. In fact, about 75 percent of dogs and cats suffer from some degree of periodontal disease by age three. Because pets in the early stages of periodontal disease seem healthy, it’s easy to overlook signs like bad breath, discolored teeth and reddish gums.

Dr. Sheri Cassell wants pet owners to understand that unhealthy oral habits can harm their pets. Soft plaque builds up on teeth at the gum line. Bacteria live in the plaque, irritating the gums. Eventually, these bacteria and other pathogens work their way into the bloodstream. Studies have even shown that periodontal disease in humans and pets may be linked to other health problems with the heart, liver and kidneys.

pital, however, we feel this precautionary measure helps us stay on top of potential germs so they don’t become a problem in our hospital.”

“Staph infections can become drug-resistant and taking such measures can help us either prevent infections from happening in the first place, or to help us know what strains we are dealing with. When we know there is a cluster’ or trend in the community, we can be on the lookout should someone present with the corresponding symptoms, and this helps us make the best possible diagnosis.

“The advisability of taking a particular course

of treatment is usually one of a very complex set of possible choices. There might be two to three viable options, any one of which would be considered a correct course of action. So there is rarely a strictly right or wrong decision,” said Murphy.

“If we have any questions, need additional information or would like to confer with a known specialist in a particular area, we are fortunate to be able to be in direct conversation with experts at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, or the New Hampshire Department of Public Health,” said Murphy.

“I once had a patient who was travelling to a foreign country who needed an answer to a very complex issue quickly. It is very helpful to be able to reach one of the country’s leading experts for quick and the most definitive data,” said Kostecke.

“We have great lines of communications with infection control specialists who have the latest information on diseases and emerging trends. We also work with local health department and school districts,” said Kostecke.

“Of course, we are always monitoring for the presence of bedbugs and taking the necessary measures to keep them out of our facility,” said Murphy. “Our housekeeping staff, for instance, uses disinfectants and steam cleans upholstered furniture and surfaces on a regular basis,” said Murphy “When patients enter the Emergency Department, their belongings are placed in a large Ziploc bag that is properly sealed, to prevent any spread of contagion.”

“Infection control is really an essential component of any health care delivery system,” said Kostecke.

“And valley residents can be confident that Memorial Hospital is working diligently to keep them healthy and infection free,” added Murphy. “With everyone’s help, we can make good habits contagious.”

Blood pressure clinics offered The VNA-Hospice of Southern Carroll County and Vicinity will hold the following blood pressure clinics in March. The clinics will be at the following locations: •Doris Benz Community Center on Heard Road in Sandwich, on Wednesday, March 9, from 11 a.m. to noon.

Naturopathic Medicine seeks insurance parity The New Hampshire Association of Naturopathic Doctors (NHAND) has asked for the introduction of House Bill 351, which seeks parity of insurance coverage for naturopathic primary care medicine in the state of New Hampshire.

The bill, sponsored

by Representative John Cebrowski (R), is being introduced in the House Commerce & Consumer Affairs committee, and will be heard Thursday March 3 at 9 a.m., LOB 302, in Concord.

According to the association, the bill will improve New Hampshire citizens’ access to primary health care by extending insurance coverage to naturopathic doctors, who have training equivalent to medical and osteopathic doctors, and have been licensed to practice primary care medicine in New Hampshire since 1996.

Naturopathic doctors are not seeking coverage for any new services, but only for those they are already providing, and which are currently covered by insurance when provided by MDs and DOs. Examples include well child visits, physical exams, women’s annual exams, and cholesterol screenings.

‘Passing Time’ author at White Mountain Cafe Ever wondered what it was like to work in the Berlin mills in the old days?

'Passing Time' is an honest and compelling coming-of-age novel set on the papermaking floor of a New England mill. Sunday, March 13, will see the author, Ron Roy, reading, engaging in conversation and book signing at the White Mountain Café from 2 p.m.

Berlin native Ron Roy's descriptions of life in the paper mills are both accurate and entertaining. Fellow author John Beck writes, "He captures everything from safety to craftsmanship to horseplay. He nails the notion in paper mills that company profits are directly connected to how strenuously workers are forced to labor and that the noxious fumes from a pulp mill are the smell of money.’”

White Mountain Café is located in Jackson Falls Marketplace near the school.

Ski to the clouds Presented by Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center at Pinkham Notch, this event takes place on Sunday, March 6, with prize money sponsored by Maxiglide. Known for being North America’s toughest 10K with a climb of more than 2,200 vertical feet over the final 6 km, racers will compete for a share of a $1,400 cash purse and the chance to tackle Mount Washington.

The

cannon fires at 10am, for this point to point race including 4 km on the Great Glen trail system followed by 6 km up the Mount Washington Auto Road to just below tree line, and 2200' elevation gain over the final 6 km. This true freestyle event allows both classic and skate techniques to be used. Entrants are required to complete 10 K using one pair of skis (no switching skis), and all finishers will receive a medal. Participants should be able to comfortably ski 4 kilometers downhill on cross country gear after the race. Refreshments and additional age class awards post-race in Great Glen Base Lodge.

For more information and to register visit www.skitotheclouds.com. Online Registration closes Thursday, March 3, at 5 p.m.

Selectmen’s meeting schedule The board of selectmen will meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 4 p.m. in the Town Office Meeting Room. Their schedule for March 2011 includes: March 3 and 17.

Vacation fun at Jackson Public Library Silly story time takes place today, Thursday, in two sessions. The regular story time of 11 a.m. will be most appropriate for children ages 2-5, and this will be followed by a second session from 1 p.m. geared to ages 6 and up.

Final week of fabulous February feasts

Have you ever woken up one morning wondering just exactly how you got where you are today? When we are little we imagine all the things we will do and who we will become. Sometimes those imaginings do come true and other times life leads us down a different path. I think that when we are halfway through our lives — if I live to be 90 then that would be now — that God should give us a mulligan or do over. This way if we somehow ended up on the wrong path, we could correct our course. Sometimes we get lost along the way and we need to find where we truly belong. I hope everyone is on the path they have chosen for themselves, if not, I hope you find your true course without too many u-turns. Have a great week.

It’s the final week of the fabulous February feasts – Feb. 26 – at the Bartlett Congregational Church from 5 to 7 p.m. You only have one more Saturday to enjoy the food and fellowship of our community at this “valley original” event. For only $8 (adult) you have your choice of several entrees and vegetables plus home-baked desserts. Come and converse with your friends, neighbors, visitors and the community while enjoying your food. from preceding page

Important Information Regarding Freedom and Tamworth School District Meeting Warrant Articles Errors were made by the SAU #13 office during the development of warrant articles pertaining to the cost of collective bargaining agreements. The posted articles show no cost to taxpayers for the first year of the negotiated agreements for the Tamworth Education Association (TEA) and the Freedom Education Association (FEA). The articles (#2 in Tamworth and #4 in Freedom) should have indicated additional first year costs of $42,211 and $20,257, respectively.

At each town’s annual district meeting (March 3 in Tamworth and March 7 in Freedom), processes will be presented for consideration to ensure citizens are fully informed of the contracts and are able to express their wishes through their votes. The school boards of Tamworth and Freedom continue to be fully supportive of these contracts, which were bargained in good faith.

Meet the Lincolns Feb. 28

History comes to life at the Conway Public Library next Monday, Feb. 28, at 6:30 p.m.

Enlarging on a “We the People Bookshelf” grant awarded by the American Library Association (ALA), the presentation is called “Abraham and Mary Lincoln: the Long and the Short of It.” Steve and Sharon Wood of Claremont, NH are historical interpreters specializing in 19th century American History. They have researched and portrayed the Lincolns since 1995 and are members of the Association of Lincoln Presenters. The Woods were awarded the organization's Glenn Schnizlein Memorial Award for the Best Lincoln Team in both 2003 and 2006. "Abraham and Mary Lincoln: the Long and the Short of It" tells the story of the distinctly different paths that led each of them to Springfield, Illinois, where they met, married and began a family. The years that followed their move to the White House were filled with personal and national crises. This presentation takes place in 1861, shortly after the Lincolns arrived in Washington. It is appropriate for a family audience. After the program, the Woods will step out of character and answer questions.

The evening is free thanks to partial funding from the NH Humanities Council.

How do I plant and care for the trees in the yard? Should a woodlot be managed, too? Join Wendy Scribner, Carroll County Extension Forester as she discusses general tree planting, care, and recognizing the signs of hazards.

In addition woodlot assessment and setting objectives is on the agenda with suggested activities to improve health and wildlife habitat. There will be plenty of time for discussion so bring questions and get professional advice.

Wagner and Frase shoot the lights out at Coe-Brown –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONCORD — When All State guards Allie Wagner and Melissa Frase are clicking on all cylinders offensively, it can be nightmare for opposing teams.

Coe-Brown Academy experienced that nightmare Tuesday.

The dynamic duo combined to shoot 70 percent from the field, making 11 three-pointers to lead Kennett High to the 76-58 victory.

The win lifted the Eagles to 16-1 in Division II standings while the Bears slipped to 7-10 in what could be a possible preview of the opening round of the playoffs next Tuesday.

“I’m not 100 percent sure but it looks like we’ll be home against either Coe-Brown or Laconia (8-9) or possibly St. Thomas (7-10),” Peter Ames, Eagles’ head coach, said. “I’m thinking it’ll probably be CoeBrown or Laconia.”

Kennett will get a second look at Laconia today when it hosts the Sachems at The Nest at 6:30 p.m.

It will be Senior Night with Frase, Sam Meader and Wagner all being recognized before the game.

“I think I’ll start them,” Ames said, jokingly of this three talented captains ho have meant so much to the program over the years.

Ames had nothing but praise for the way his team came out of the gates Tuesday. “I thought we played very well,” he said. “We shot the ball really well. We shot 60 percent for the night and made 11 threepointers. We gave up some points at the end, a few more than I would have liked, but offensively we had a good night.

“Allie had 30 (points) and Melissa 28,” he continued. “Allie made eight threes and Melissa made three. We hit the first seven shots we took and five of those were threes. Allie and Melissa are shooting well we’re a pretty tough team to beat. It’s not like their three-pointers are right on the (three-point line), they’re usually two or three feet further than that or more. It was quite awesome to watch. I think

they played as well as they ever had as a tandem — they were a lot of fun to watch. Hopefully, they’re just starting to peak at the right time.”

Kennett roared out to a 20-10 lead after the opening quarter. The Eagles led 30-22 at the half and extended the advantage to 53-39 after three frames.

Joining Frase and Wagner in scoring column were Meader, six; Lauren White, six; Jesse Wagner, two; Casey Blakely, two; and Lauren Kidder, two.

In other Division II news, Souhegan (17-0) topped Lebanon (16-1) on Saturday in a battle between the final two teams. Ames said he wasn’t surprised the Sabers prevailed on their home court 60-56 in a

game filled with fouls. Both teams had three players foul out.

“Both teams kind of play the same way, very physical,” Ames said.

Ames sees this year’s tournament being wide open.

“In a year like this there are lots of pretty good teams,” he said. “The big advantage is if you can finish in the top four and get to play the first two rounds on your home floor provided you win. I think if we play well we’re a pretty tough team to beat. I think this year’s tournament will be a lot like last years. People think there may not be many upsets but I bet we’ll see a few of them.”

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are usually empathic to the needs of those around you, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Today, if you walk a mile in the other person’s shoes, you’re likely to get a foot ache -- it’s just not a good fit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll be working on an important project. Even if you feel good about the details, there are simply too many of them to carry around with you and still feel calm and relaxed. Make lists, and you’ll feel lighter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s not too late to make a New Year’s resolution. Make a declaration to your loved ones about what you intend to do this year. This will help you gain the focus and clarity you desire.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Unload the issues on your mind into a journal or to a counselor or friend. This exercise will remind you of your positive qualities. Tonight, you’ll feel friendly and open to making new social contacts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You could save yourself years of struggle by asking for help from the right person.

Hint: It’s a person who has been where you are and turned the situation into a success story.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 24).

You’ll get a public forum in which to communicate your ideas and put them into practice. Mental pursuits ignite your energy. You could simultaneously succeed at more than one career, making you the envy of your friends. Your love life will be fun-filled in July and August.

September brings a glamorous adventure. Cancer and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 2, 10, 49 and 17.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you feel pressured, you act out of fear.

That’s why it will be useful to stomp out your own impatience because it will only lead to regret. Have more fun, and it will be easier for you to have patience, too. , TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It will benefit you to keep communication short and to the point. You will be heard, understood and respected. People will know that you’re not a person who will waste their time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even when you think people understand what you are saying, it’s important to ask for clarification. As a bonus, you’ll be helping others to get clearer in their intention.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is a positive purpose behind your communication and behavior, though someone you are close to might not understand what it is. Spell it out, and you’ll get the support you need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You value honesty and don’t see the need to sugarcoat your response to the world.

Try to be gentle, though. People around you will be more sensitive than usual.

Let your tone of voice convey compassion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know the result you want to get from each and every interaction. This makes you purposeful in all of your dealings.

Your confidence will help you attract money this afternoon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are willing to make an effort for a special relationship. You are even willing to change in some small way in order for things to work well. The other person will mirror this gesture.

Today is Thursday, Feb. 24, the 55th day of 2011. There are 310 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 24, 1761, Boston lawyer James Otis Jr. went to court to argue against “writs of assistance” that allowed British customs officers to arbitrarily search people’s premises; citing English common law, Otis declared: “A man’s house is his castle.”

(Although Otis lost the case, his statement provided a source of inspiration for American independence.)

On this date: In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII issued a papal bull, or edict, outlining his calendar reforms.

(The Gregorian Calendar is the calendar in general use today.)

In 1711, the opera “Rinaldo” by George Frideric Handel premiered in London.

In 1803, in its Marbury v. Madison decision, the Supreme Court established judicial review of the constitutionality of statutes.

In 1821, Mexican rebels proclaimed the “Plan de Iguala,” their declaration of independence from Spain.

In 1863, Arizona was organized as a territory.

In 1868, the House of Representatives impeached President Andrew Johnson following his attempted dismissal of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; Johnson was later acquitted by the Senate.

In 1920, the German Workers Party, which later became the Nazi Party, met in Munich to adopt its platform.

In 1942, the Voice of America went on the air for the first time.

In 1981, A jury in White Plains, N.Y., found Jean Harris guilty of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of “Scarsdale Diet” author Dr. Herman Tarnower. (Sentenced to 15 years to life in prison, Harris was granted clemency by New York Gov. Mario Cuomo in Dec. 1992.)

One year ago: Testifying before Congress, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda apologized personally and repeatedly to the United States and millions of American Toyota owners for safety lapses that had led to deaths and widespread recalls.

Today’s Birthdays: Actor Abe Vigoda is 90. Actor Steven Hill is 89. Actor-singer Dominic Chianese is 80. Movie composer Michel Legrand is 79. Actor James Farentino is 73. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., is 69. Actor Barry Bostwick is 66. Actor Edward James Olmos is 64. Singer-writer-producer Rupert Holmes is 64. Rock singer-musician George Thorogood is 61. Actress Debra Jo Rupp is 60. Actress Helen Shaver is 60.

TALE OF GENEROSITY INSPIRES OTHERS TO HELP KIDS IN NEED

DEAR ABBY: Thank you for printing the letter from the woman who paid for her neighbor’s children’s school lunch bill. “Lending a Hand in the Midwest” (Jan. 10) was angry to discover they didn’t qualify for free lunches because “their parents were just a couple of dollars over the limit.” To top it off, the children’s father is doing his second tour in Afghanistan. Because you encouraged your readers to contact local schools to give a few dollars to a child in need of a meal, it inspired me to speak to the principal in our district. Not only did the principal like my fundraising idea, he has allowed me time on campus to promote the fundraiser.

Twenty-seven students will be joining me after school in making lollipops to sell at an upcoming event. Local businesses and individuals have donated most of the supplies necessary to make this a successful drive to help the children in need. Our goal is to raise $1,000 for this cause.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to “Lending” for sharing a great idea. -- HAPPILY PAYING IT FORWARD IN HAWAII DEAR HAPPILY: Thank you for spreading the message.

“Lending’s” generous act of kindness elicited many interesting and thought-provoking responses. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I am a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Vietnam Veterans of America, the American Legion and the American Legion Riders Association. One of the main functions of our organizations is to help our veterans and their families in any way we can. You would be amazed at the monies and help expended to our veterans, soldiers and their families that doesn’t make the news because being “needy” is perceived as some kind of fault.

To respond to a need, we must KNOW about it. Abby, please tell your readers if there is a problem, contact your lo-

cal VFW, American Legion, AmVets, etc. and we will respond.

-- FRANK IN BURLINGTON, WIS. DEAR ABBY: I am currently serving in the military and have never thought to donate to school lunches. I’m happy knowing people are watching out for the troops’ kids. As soon as I return home from Iraq, I will make the call to see where I can help. -- AIRMAN WHO HAS BEEN THERE DEAR ABBY: A lot of families are in the same situation.

We have three kids and are $8 over the “allowed financial amount.” What’s not taken into consideration is the $100 my husband pays for Internet each month he’s serving in Afghanistan so our 8-year-old son with Asperger’s can “see” his daddy. This lessens the anxiety, compounded by his dad’s deployment, that is associated with his autism. God bless “Lending a Hand” for her gift to that family. -- ABBIE IN RINEYVILLE, KY. DEAR ABBY: I work in a public school. The administrators and the school nurse have daily contact with “kids in need” who could benefit enormously from small donations.

I encourage people to contact their local schools and inquire about donating new clothes and/or toiletries to a child in need. The child’s identity will not be revealed, but sizes and current clothing trends can be provided, and the donor will have the satisfaction of knowing the donation is helping a child “fit in” and will make a huge difference in that child’s self-esteem. -- MARCIA IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR ABBY: My son’s homework was to find three living heroes in today’s world. I showed him the letter from “Lending a Hand” and told him the writer is a perfect example of a hero. Giving of oneself is a lesson I’m trying to teach my son so lending a helping hand will be second nature to him.

-- MELISSA IN SAN JOSE, CALIF.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
