SAYWHAT...No man is rich enough to buy

back his past.”—Oscar Wilde

(NY Times) — Nord-strom has a waiting list for a Chanel sequined tweed coat with a $9,010 price. Neiman Marcus has sold out in almost every size of Chris-tian Louboutin “Bianca” plat-form pumps, at $775 a pair. Mercedes-Benz said it sold more cars last month in the United States than it had in any July in fi ve years.

Even with the economy in a funk and many Americans pulling back on spending, the rich are again buying designer clothing, luxury cars and about anything that catches their fancy. Luxury goods stores, which fared much worse than other retailers in the reces-sion, are more than recov-ering — they are zooming. Many high-end businesses are even able to mark up, rather than discount, items to attract customers who equate quality with price.

“If a designer shoe goes up from $800 to $860, who notices?” said Arnold Aron-son, managing director of retail strategies at the con-sulting fi rm Kurt Salmon, and the former chairman and chief executive of Saks.

The luxury category has posted 10 consecutive months of sales increases compared with the year ear-lier, even as overall consumer spending on categories like furniture and electronics has been tepid, according to the research service MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse.

(NY Times) — Stocks around the world fell sharply Thursday on intensi-fying investor fears about a slowdown in global economic growth and worries about Europe’s ongoing debt crisis, which is cen-tered now on Italy and Spain.

Stock market indexes in the United States and Europe dropped more than 4 percent as Japan intervened to weaken its currency and the European Central Bank

began buying bonds to try to calm markets.At the close, the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock

index was down 60.27 points, or 4.78 percent, to 1,200.07. The Dow Jones industrial aver-age was off 512.76 points, or 4.31 percent, to 11,383.68, and the Nasdaq was down 136.68, or 5.08 percent, to 2,556.39. It was the biggest percentage drop since February 2009.

Following accelerating falls over the last two weeks, the stock market is now offi cially

in “correction” territory, defi ned as a drop of 10 percent to 20 percent since the latest peak.

The S.&P. 500 has fallen 12 percent since its recent high of 1,363.61 on April 29, underlining the new negative investment sentiment about the economy and Europe.

“We are now in correction mode,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at Standard & Poor’s. “We could have another couple of weeks to go before it bottoms.”

Stocks down over 4 percent in global sell-off

BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — The Syrian military forces that rolled into the rebellious city of Hama and occupied its central square have killed more than 100 people over the past 24 hours, according to rights activists in sat-ellite communication with people in the city. The new toll doubled the rough count of civilian dead there to more than 200 since the military’s tanks began shelling Hama over the weekend.

The military’s assault on the city, a linchpin of the fi ve-month-old

uprising against the iron-handed government of President Bashar al-Assad, represents one of the fi ercest efforts yet to crush the uprising and a signal of Mr. Assad’s defi ance in the face of growing international condemnation. Activists say the overall toll from the repression since March is more than 1,700.

With foreign journalists barred from the country and the govern-ment silent about most aspects of the rebellions, activists have been the main source of information on the crackdowns and casualties.

Death toll is said to double in center of Syrian revolt

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Obama administration has reached a patchwork agreement with Congressional lead-ers to end a partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Adminis-tration, Senator Harry Reid, the majority leader, said Thursday.

The agreement signals an end, at least for a few weeks, to an impasse over policy issues that had left 4,000 agency employees out of work, idled tens of thousands of workers at hundreds of airport construction projects around the coun-try and cost the federal government more than $300 million in lost taxes on airline tickets.

Congressional offi cials said the deal arranges rubber-stamp passage by the Senate, meeting on Friday under unanimous consent so that only a few members need attend, of a bill that was approved by the House last month. The House bill extends the aviation agency’s operations, but only through Sept. 16.

Reid says deal has been reached to reopen FAA

WEST STEWARTSTOWN — The body of 11-year-old Celina Cass was wrapped in a blanket when she was found in the Connecticut River on Monday, a source told News 9.

News 9 has also learned that Celi-na’s stepfather, Wendell Noyes, has checked himself into a mental health facility.

Celina was reported missing on July 26, and her body was found Monday in the river about a quarter-mile from her home.

Investigators said autopsy results were pending, and they are waiting for more tests to help determine how Celina died.

Thursday, the police presence in West Stewartstown was declining. The crime scene tape was removed from the home where Celina lived.

The day before, state police major crime units from Vermont and New Hampshire returned to the home. Several vehicles and the house were sectioned off with police tape, and offi cers were stationed outside over-night.

The bed of a silver Ford F-150 quad-cab pickup truck at the home was covered with a tarp, and the truck was put on a fl atbed tow truck. The truck belongs to Cass’ stepfather, offi cials said.

The house is where Celina’s family said they last saw her alive a week ago.

The brother and mother of Celi-na’s stepfather said he is not doing well and asked the media to leave him alone.

CONCORD — West Nile virus has been found for the fi rst time this year in a mosquito pool in New Hampshire, health offi cials said.

The Department of Health and Human Services said the posi-tive test result was from a pool in Nashua.

“While this is the fi rst indication of West Nile Virus in New Hampshire this season, we have been hearing of positive test results from some of our neighboring states, so this fi nding is not unexpected,” said Public Health Director Dr. Jose Montero.

West Nile virus can be transmit-ted to humans through the bite of a mosquito. It can cause fl u-like symp-toms, including fever and headache, that appear four to 10 days after

being bitten.In extreme cases, it can cause men-

ingitis or encephalitis, which can be life-threatening. Health offi cials said that anyone experiencing fl u-like symptoms should see a doctor.

Montero said the best protection against West Nile virus is to avoid being bitten by a mosquito. Use mos-quito repellant, wear long sleeves and pants at dawn and dusk, and remove standing water from your property so mosquitoes don’t’ have a place to breed.

West Nile virus was fi rst detected in New Hampshire in August 2000. Since that time, four people in the state have become ill following infec-tion with the virus.

Thoughts On This Early August Weekend

Ithaca Bound

“Give me your tired, your poor,/your hud-dled masses yearning to breathe free.”

According to “Today in History,” a book which holds a prominent place on my refer-ence shelf, the cornerstone for the Statue of Liberty, one of this nation’s most beloved sym-bols, was laid on the 5th of August, in 1884. A little over two years later, President Grover Cleveland offi cially accepted the statue itself. The gift from France has held an honored place in American lore ever since.

As a young lad singing bass in my high school chorus, I remember the beautifully crafted choral version of the closing words of the poem that Emma Lazarus (1849-1887) wrote in commemoration of the historic event as being one of the most requested pieces of the varied repertoire our chorus performed. I often sang the Irving Berlin-written melody as a solo in my own public performances.

The brief note in my reference book of the laying of the cornerstone for the beloved symbol of freedom brought the words of Emma Lazarus’ poem fl ooding back into memory. It is not a long poem. “The New Colossus,” as it was titled, is a fourteen-line sonnet written in 1883. It is the last four and a half of those lines that are the most often quoted. Do you remember?

“Give me your tired, your poor, your hud-dled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,Send these, the homeless tempest-tossed to

me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”On this August weekend in 2011, one takes

pause and wonders about the relevance of Miss Lazarus’ poem today, as so many of the world’s nations begin to look more and more inward and immigration issues take on more and more social and political moment.

Tomorrow, the 6th of August, marks the 66th anniversary of the dropping of the fi rst atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. In the fi nal novel of his four narratives of the Second World War, “The Final Storm,” author Jeff Shaara devotes several chapters to his tell-ing of the event that fi nally brought Japan to its knees.

Shaara’s books are novels and not actual histories, but his research into the characters and events about which he writes has been so thorough as to ring with an authenticity that few actual histories can match. As with all of his writings on war, I found it all but impossible to put the book down. And I came away with a greater understanding of the decisions made, the careful and danger-laden preparations necessary, and the human emo-tions of those who lived the fateful events of that August 6.

Was the dropping of that bomb the immoral act that some still argue? All acts of war are immoral, in my opinion. But there are times when one is left with no other option. How many more countless thousands of lives would have been lost in an invasion of the Japanese homeland?

Acts of violence seem to be a fact of human nature. Thousands of years after the fi rst recorded act of human violence against another human being, we are still at it. And an end is nowhere in sight.

On the 7th of August, 1782, General George Washington created a badge called the “Badge for Military Merit.” Now known as the “Purple Heart,” its original design was a heart-shaped piece of purple silk, edged with silver, and with the word “Merit” stitched in silver across its face.

One fervently hopes that the day may come when such badges are no longer needed.

Fixing The Debt Ceiling, At Least, For Now

John Walsh

It was late on Sunday night when President Obama appeared on TV to tell us that, based on promised votes by both the House of Represen-tatives and the Senate too be taken on Monday, the debt ceiling would be extended for about a year and a half or so. Baring some folks backing out, it appears the the country’s debt crisis will be postponed while more permanent solutions are sought. While the deal still seemed pretty shaky, at least there was some hope. Now it’s Monday afternoon at three and no votes have been taken yet.

Since not raising the debt ceiling would seem to have a really negative effect on us all, we can only keep hoping (and praying) the deal will go down and the country will escape the dire consequences for right now. The proposal calls for the creation of a super board made up of a small number of house members and senators to hammer out some real reforms to

be acted upon by a strict up or down vote from each house. There are no guarantees that this process will get carried out as called for by the bill. For many in both the House and Senate, who gain nothing from the rest of the bill, this super group is the only part of the current bill, as proposed, that offers any hope for the future. There is much speculation that the super group offerings will include redoing the tax code and removing the many parts of the tax code that provide special tax breaks to various industries. While these have been talked about, nothing of the sort is in the current bill.

What is positive in the current proposal is that a trillion dollars in spending will be cut from current spending proposals. This is included to attract whatever Tea Party congress members who would otherwise vote against the bill. While it remains to be seen as

To the editor:To whom it may concern, or

let’s just say, you know who you are.

On July 28, a day after I had lost my job, which broke my heart, I went to Peeble’s shopping for pants for my son. I had put things on the counter, thinking my purse was on the fl oor next to me. When I came to pay for the items, my purse was not there and nowhere to be

found. I went into the ladies room and looked in the trash and there it was!

Someone, and you know who you are, took $400 that was for my car payment and $67 for other bills to pay.

I hope you are really proud of yourself. You just shattered the other half of my heart. The other half was from losing my job.

Rano has out done himself this timeTo the editor:Of all the sketches that Mr.

Rano has submitted through the years to express his feel-ings on many issues we have confronted in out commu-nity, Berlin, I believe that this one is the very best. He

has captured the “essence” of this terrible tragedy that has befallen our Coos County area in the most recent times.

It is enough to bring a tear of great pain to one’s heart of any age.

yet what effect the cuts will have on favorable votes, what is clear is there are absolutely no tax increases in the bill. The Bush tax cuts given to those with incomes in excess of $250,000 a year will remain in place. Also, while some of the favorable tax breaks for industry such as for the big oil companies have been discussed, not a single tax break in existence is scaled back or eliminated in the new bill.

What seems surprising is that, even though the bill seems loaded with Tea Party proposals, Speaker John Boehner is still struggling at 4 p.m. on Monday to raise the 216 votes in the House of Representa-tive. It appears that some 80 Tea

Party members in the house will not vote for the bill. Boehner just spoke in favor emphasizing that the bill, while taking a healthy cuts in spending, has absolutely no tax increases.

While the bill is clearly favor-able to the right wing Republicans, passing it would take away the most pressing issue of the federal government: the inability to pay its bill. It also cuts spending a fraction of the $4 or $5 trillion previously proposed. There will be money available to President Obama to help resolve the low state of the economy and, hopefully, get some people back working and paying taxes. The major cuts in federal spending are two or three nears down the road.

Performance of ‘Hidden Gem” by Franz Liszt to be held in Berlin

BERLIN -- On Sunday, August 14, Franz Liszt’s “hidden gem,” Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) scored for piano, organ, chorus and soloists, will have its fi rst performance in Berlin, at 4 p.m. in the sanctuary of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church. Michie Akin will perform on his historic Erard piano built in 1863 and Susan Ferre will be at the organ, having prepared the sing-ing ensemble and soloists. Michie Akin has become well-known to the area from his prior years of cre-ative and heartfelt performances of Schumann, Brahms and Liszt.

The beautiful, devotional work, Via Crucis, lay unpublished and was not even performed until 1929. It derived from Liszt’s personal piety late in his life, long after the bravura and accolades began to ring hollow, and at a time in which he took minor holy orders. He was not seeking to advance himself in 1879 when he composed this work. It is hardly known and has received only a few performances to date.

The words of Jesus and Pilate

will be sung by Christian Labnon, tenor, and David Smith, baritone, while the chorus gives voice to the chants, Vexilla Regis and Stabat Mater, the crowd scenes, their com-mentary and expressions of grief, including two wrenching settings of Bach chorales: “O Haupt voll Blut” (“Oh Sacred Head”) and “O Traurig-keit, o Herzeleid” (“Oh Sadness, Oh Bitter Pain”). Many of the scenes are described in the poignant piano sections which take the listener through each of the 14 Stations of the Cross, the progression of Jesus’ death sentence through the cruci-fi xion with the fi nal words by the chorus, “Ave Crux” (“Hail, dear Cross”).

The concert is free and open to the public with donations accepted. It is sponsored by Music in the Great North Woods, a non-profi t organiza-tion presenting the 7th event of the current season.

vehicle onto the Main Street sidewalk, according to Gorham Police Chief PJ Cyr. The patrol car followed Ducha-rme for three minutes, at speeds no greater that 45 miles per hour, before she stopped south of the intersection of Routes 2 and 16, a distance of about one-and-a-quarter mile from the res-taurant.

Ducharme was arrested and charged with aggravated driving while intoxi-cated, for not only driving impaired but attempting to elude police by increasing her speed, said Gorham

Sgt. Jennifer Lemoine, department prosecutor. She was also charged with conduct after an accident, disobeying and offi cer and transporting alcohol (open container). All four are misde-meanor charges.

She was released on $1,000 personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in Berlin District Court on Sept. 9.

Ducharme was appointed to the City Council in May to represent Ward II as a result of the resignation of Robert Danderson. Her appointment lasts until January 2012.

Injured hiker rescued from Wildcat Mountain

WILDCAT MOUNTAIN -- rescu-ers from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, Appalachian Mountain Club and Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue Team made a combined effort to help a hiker who fell in steep terrain on Wildcat Moun-tain in Pinkham Notch Thursday.

At approximately 9:30 a.m., Tom Brown, 56, of Fenton, Michigan, was hiking on a steep section of the Wild-cat Ridge Trail when he slipped and fell on an inclined rock. As a result of the fall, Brown sustained injuries to his hip, leaving him unable to walk. Using his cell phone, Brown made a call to a local contact, who called for help.

Conservation Offi cers from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department were notifi ed of the incident shortly before 10 a.m., and being familiar with the trail and it’s diffi cult terrain, reached out for help from the search and rescue

community. Approximately twelve volunteers from the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Androscog-gin Valley Search and Rescue Team subsequently gave their time to help seven Conservation Offi cers in car-rying Brown safely down a mile of very steep and rocky trail. Rescuers reached the Glenn Ellis Falls Trail-head on Route 16 shortly before 3 p.m., and Brown was taken to Memo-rial Hospital in Conway for further evaluation and treatment.

“This rescue went very well due in large part to dedicated volunteers with good technical rescue skills,” said Conservation Offi cer Matt Holmes. “Mr. Brown, who was an experienced hiker, was very appreciative of the hard work put forth by everyone to bring him safely down such diffi cult terrain.” During the carryout, rescu-ers needed to use ropes at several locations to lower Mr. Brown, as car-rying was next to impossible.

State Police Troop F log CCFHS celebrates Nat. Health Center WeekBERLIN -- Coos County Family

Health Services (CCFHS) is marking National Health Center Week 2011 (NHCW) with a celebration on August 11, at 1:30 p.m. at the Pleasant Street Medical Offi ce to raise awareness about the mission and accomplish-ments of America’s Health Centers. The nonprofi t Community Health Centers provide primary and preven-tive health care for all. They are strong partnerships of people, governments, and communities who work together to meet the unique and diverse health conditions of their community.

One of the bright spots in America’s health care system, health centers provide a medical home to over 23 million people at 8,000 sites nation-wide. Their model of care was rated as one of the most effective programs by then-President George W. Bush’s Offi ce of Management and Budget. Indeed, presidents from both parties and Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have long-recognized the value of health centers and sup-ported their expansion. Health cen-ters are on track to expand their care to 40 million people over the next fi ve years. With more health care homes in communities, we can reduce health care costs and unnecessary hospi-talizations and visits to emergency rooms. According to the National Association of Community Health Centers, there are 60 million people in the country with limited or no access to primary care providers – a trend that shows no sign of improving with the economic recession.

“Every day in our waiting rooms I witness the value of having a health care home,” said Adele Woods, CCFHS CEO. “When people have a place to go for regular care, they use it and stay healthier. We provide a range of services at our sites in Berlin and Gorham – primary care services, pedi-atrics, podiatry, pharmacy, oral health, and even mental health services. Our patients not only get the care they need, but they are treated as individu-als, with dignity and respect. This is what health care should be, and what we celebrate during National Health Center Week.”

CCFHS has invited U.S. and N.H. representatives and senators as well as other dignitaries. There will be a ceremony at Pleasant Street focused on the past year of accomplishments: their Level 3 Medical Home accredita-tion; recruitment of new providers; and completion of energy effi ciency renova-tion projects at the Pleasant Street Medical Offi ce. Many of these accom-plishments would not have been pos-sible without the support of the New Hampshire Charitable Fund and the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund.

“Celebrating America’s health cen-ters: serving locally, leading nation-ally” is the theme for 2011. This theme highlights the more than 45-year record of health centers in providing affordable, high quality, cost-effective health care to all people, regardless of ability to pay.

WHITEFIELD — Several local airports have avoided disruptions in the wake of the Federal Avia-tion Administration budget debacle in Washington, but not all of them.

“Everything remains to be seen,” said David Cul-linan, the airport manager of the Eastern Slopes Regional Airport in Fryeburg. “Potentially it could.”

“Nothing yet,” said Erik Kaminsky, the airport manager in Berlin. “This FAA thing is probably going to be temporary.”

“We’re privately owned,” said Evan Karpf, owner of the airport in Twin Mountain, so no federal dol-lars come that airport's way anyway.

At the Mount Washington Regional Airport in Whitefi eld, however, the situation has the airport laying off workers and urging people to call their representatives.

“We currently have two federal projects going on,” said Ed Stevens, chairman of the airport commis-sion, “and we’re shutting them down.”

Congress went on its summer recess without extending the FAA’s funding, forcing a partial

shutdown. As a result the agency has put capital improvement project funding on hold, tying up the money Whitefi eld needs to keep its snow removal equipment building project and ramp reconstruc-tion project — $400,000 and $900,000, respectively — on hold.

Normally the FAA reimburses airports 95 percent of project costs, while the state and the town would each pay 2.5 percent, but not now.

“I just got the word 10 minutes ago,” Stevens said. “If we don’t stop, we have to pay for it.”

As a result, he said, everyone working on the two projects has been told to go home. “This is embar-rassing to the U.S. Government. They need to be voted out of offi ce," Stevens said.

There are similar problems around the state, according to the Department of Transportation. “Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, Lebanon Municipal Airport, and Portsmouth International Airport at Pease are currently unable to receive reimbursements for ongoing projects,” they said in a statement.

Airports have been told they can continue work-ing on their projects if they want, according to Tricia

Federal funding turbulence for Whitefi eld airportSchoeneck Lambert, the administrator of the state Bureau of Aeronautics, but the federal money isn’t coming in to reimburse them.

“The ability for our offi ce to draw the money has stopped, as of 10 p.m. last night,” she said in a phone call on Thursday.

Airports that keep work going will likely get their money eventually, she said, once Congress reautho-rizes the FAA’s budget, assuming they do.

But that doesn’t do much for the between 30 and 40 workers told they were out of a job on Thursday, Stevens said, even if it is temporary. “Call your sena-tor, that’s what I’ve been telling people.”

Almost $26 million in projects will likely be delayed around the state if the funding problems remain until Congress’ next scheduled meeting, according to the DOT, and $2.9 million in ongoing projects may have to stop construction.

Lambert didn’t have specifi cs about how many people would be put out of work. “We don’t have that data for the state of New Hampshire," he said.

The numbers exceed 70,000 nationally, DOT spokesman Bill Boynton said. “I think some of this may have been lost in the debt ceiling debate.”

The FAA had been funded 20 times before through extensions similar to the one Congress tried and failed to pass before the break, he said. It wasn’t until last week the state realized there might be a problem.

Locally a big concern is delays could waste the construction season, Lambert said, and improve-ments could get pushed to next year.

News agencies were reporting late Thursday that congressional leaders had struck a deal to address the problem and solve it, at least temporarily, after being put under pressure from the White House. A vote on the deal is scheduled for Friday.

contracted to trans-port the transformer, the load will travel by train to a rail siding on Jericho Road. From there it will travel on a 4 deck 4 transport vehicle from Jericho Road to Wight Street to Third Avenue to Mount Forist Street to Exchange Street. From Mount Forist Street it will get on Route 16 and travel north to Dummer Pond Road.

The transport, which will take an estimated four hours, will be done late at night or over-night. Marino Crane reported it surveyed the transport route in May and there is suf-fi cient clearance both vertically and horizon-tally for the 121 foot long and 25 foot high transport vehicle.

Six escorts vehicles are required, of which a minimum of three must be state police escort vehicles. Two state police troop-ers and two certifi ed escort vehicles will travel in front of the load and the remain-ing two escort vehi-cles will follow the load. Marino Crane is required to have a spare tractor avail-able in case there is a breakdown during the move.

Smith-Galvin said the Vestas V90 tur-bines will be trans-ported in three components. The nacelles ( or gear box) and blades are coming from Portsmouth via Route 16 to Dummer. The towers will travel from Portsmouth by train to a railhead close to Route 2 and then transported on Route 2 to Route 16. Smith-Galvin said she did not know where the railhead is located on Route 2. Once on Route 16, the turbine components will travel through Gorham and Berlin.

The 99-megawatt wind farm being con-structed in Phillips Brook will contain a total of 33 wind tur-bines spread over some 14 miles.

Construction of the wind farm got under-way this February and the project is sched-uled to be completed and generating power by the end of this year.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your dilemma seems serious to you, and yet to another person, it’s just another day at work. Make notes about what you are going through now so that you may avoid the same situation later. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll prepare for an upcoming presentation. It seems that every time you practice your pitch, it gets better. There is a point of diminishing returns, but you haven’t reached it yet. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You read the body language of those around you. When they want to talk, you’re a listen-ing ear. And when they want to be alone, you give them space. Your appropriate response makes others trust you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some-times those who have known you all of your life will miss the most basic things about you. That’s why you love a person who gets you from the beginning. Such a person comes along this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s diffi cult to take another person’s wishes very seriously when your own remain unful-fi lled. So don’t wait a moment longer. Do what you want to do. Later, you’ll be truly happy to help. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Those younger and less experienced may nonetheless have just the information or point of view that you most need to hear. You’ll be impressed by the wisdom that comes from an unlikely source. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Walk one way, and you’ll have the experiences that come with that path. If you turn in another direction, your fate will be completely different. Much depends on your ability to put yourself in the way of opportunity. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Chil-dren are more impressionable than they

seem. They may not seem to pay atten-tion to you now, but you never know. Many decades from now, they could fi nally register what you said today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have an accurate accounting of what happened in a certain relation-ship, and yet the other person wouldn’t account for it in quite the same way. Your willingness to listen will help things. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is no need to worry about your public perception. You are seen in many different ways by many different people, and you have little control over it now. The happier you are the more effective you will be. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You rarely mention your good deeds and remarkable achievements to others. Though your modesty is lovely, you could use a confi dence boost. Privately remind yourself of all you’ve accom-plished. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It may be the case that you want much more than the other person feels like giving you. You’re not the fi rst person to be in this position, and you may fi nd help from others who’ve learned from the experience. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 5). Your popularity soars this year as you reach in new directions to make friends. In September, those who are older and wiser will help you earn money. You’ll attract more romance and fun into your world in November. A longtime fantasy of yours will become a reality in Janu-ary. Invest in new business in June. Libra and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 2, 3, 15 and 38.

DEAR ABBY: Like other people my age, I’m supposed to get a colonoscopy. The diffi culty is that someone has to go to the two-hour appointment with me, as well as supervise me for 3 to 4 hours afterward until the anesthesia wears off. I don’t have family here, and my friends all work full time, so I hesitate to ask them. Can I hire a home health aide to go along with me? Is there a volunteer organization that pro-vides companions? Could I stay in the recovery room for sev-eral hours and then take a taxi or drive myself home? The lack of a person to accompany me is the major reason I haven’t gotten the procedure yet. I know I must not be the only per-son in this boat. What do you suggest? -- ON MY OWN IN BLOOMINGTON, IND. DEAR ON YOUR OWN: You’re defi nitely not the only person who has faced this problem, which is why I’m print-ing your letter. Do you belong to a church? If so, contact your clergyper-son and ask if he or she knows someone in your congregation who would be willing to accompany you for the procedure, drive you home and stay for a few hours. If not, because you live in a university town, contact the school and ask if one of the students would like to earn some extra money by provid-ing you with transportation and supervision. Or, ask your doctor for a referral to a healthcare aide who might be available to help you. Now stop procrastinating and schedule this very important appointment. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 28-year-old married woman. I work full time, own a house with my husband and have a great family life. As an only child, I have always been close with my parents. I talk to Mom sometimes twice a day and stay at their house when my husband has to work the night shift. I mentioned to my parents that I want to get a small tattoo

on my foot. They went nuts. Mom screamed at me to get out of her house. She said if I get a tattoo I am no longer wel-come in her house. I tried explaining that I am an adult and although she may not agree with my choice, the decision is not hers. Dad said tattoos are trashy. Mom wouldn’t speak to me for two weeks. I had to send her fl owers to smooth things over. I don’t know what to do. I still want the tattoo. My hus-band isn’t wild about the idea, but respects my decision. How do I get my parents to come around on this matter, and on my judgment in general? -- TIME TO CUT THE CORD DEAR TIME TO CUT THE CORD: You might start by be-ing less dependent on their approval. Tattoos have become so common they are now mainstream -- worn by doctors, law-yers and people in just about every profession. A tattoo on your foot would not be a sign you are a fallen woman. However, think carefully about this decision because once it’s on, it’s there to stay. And be sure that getting it isn’t a de-layed form of teenage rebellion on your part and that you can live with the fl ak that’s sure to come with it. Your letter reminds me of the time I told my mother I wanted to get my ears pierced. Her response was: “I gave you a perfect body. If you want two more holes in your head, it’s up to you.” I did and never regretted it, but it made me think twice. And that’s what you should do. DEAR ABBY: Many of us have old electric typewriters that go unused. Why not donate them to a nursing home or to an elderly person who can no longer write? Even people with severe Parkinson’s disease can still hit a key with one fi nger and write letters they were once unable to do. -- SUSAN IN ARKANSAS DEAR SUSAN: That’s a great idea, and one worth pursu-ing for anyone interested in recycling.

2011 NCMBL All Star game results

BERLIN -- The 2011 NCMBL ALL-STAR game started with great excitement Friday evening in Berlin. The Berlin Junior High School was packed with NCMBL supporters and generous donors who wanted to help the VFW raise money for the National Guard Chaplain Emergency Relief Fund. The Marine Corps League presented the fl ags and Tess Letarte began the night with the National Anthem. After the opening ceremony ended the 2nd annual 3-point con-test began. Dan Enman defended his three point title from last year and beat out seven other contestants and Cameron Patry in the fi nal round to take his second three-point shootout contest title. He won $50 but donated $30 back to the cause to help the NCMBL hit their $1000 goal for the night. Once the game began there was non-stop action.

The North jumped out quickly to an 8-2 lead, but then the South went on a big run and took an eight point lead. Once the two teams settled down the game went back and forth with alley-oops, dunks, and deep threes. Tough Guys’ Jeremy Michalik hit fi ve threes in his game to lead the scores with 25 points. Town and Country’s Cap-tain Curtis Arsenault kept his team in the game with a few deep fad-away threes and a team high of 24 points. Eventually the balanced offense of the North got the edge over the South and they were able to take the 95-92 victory. Dylan Curry’s rebound with three seconds left sealed the win for

the North and helped them hold on to their slim victory.

At half time a slam-dunk contest was held. Kennett’s Brandon Frost took the $50 prize and the title with his high fl ying dunks, including a nasty 360 dunk that won the con-test. Pro-Basketball Player Anthony Bathalon stole the show with his per-fect 30 point dunk when he jumped over a four-wheeler for the slam-dunk. His missed between the legs dunk lost him the contest, but the fans were on their feet for his high-fl ying dunks in which he wore league founder Jesse Arsenault’s number 24 jersey in honor of his service to the United States overseas at this time. The 2011 MVP award was also given out at half time to Keven James who has consistently dominated while playing for Mr. Pizza and received the most votes from his fellow play-ers, fans, and captains. At the end of the night the North Country Men’s Basketball League donated $100 to the cause and raised $1000 for the National Guard Chaplain Emer-gency Relief Fund after many gener-ous donors helped reach the $1000 goal. The NCMBL thanked the VFW for taking part in the event and making it such a success. They also thanked all the donors and fans who helped them be able to donate $1000 to this great cause that helps United States servicemen and their families. All fans are welcome to come to the NCMBL Tournament which will be held on August 10, from 7-12, August 11, from 8-11, and August 12, from 8-10. All games are free to the public.

On July 16, at Castleton Vermont State College, the All Star senior game was played between N.H. and Vermont. One of the participants was Gregory Roy of Rutland, Vt., High School. Greg is a midfi elder who played four years of varsity soccer. He was team captain and leading scorer in 2008 and 2010. Greg had 10 goals and 10 assists in 2010, his senior year. His career totals to 20 goals and 24 assists. Greg will be attending the University of Vermont this fall as a pre-med student. He will be playing soccer and is also a candidate for the Catamount hockey team. Greg was a Vermont High School All Sate defenseman for Rutland High School and a alternate captain his junior and senior years. He is the son of Steve and Debbie Roy, both former Berlin High School graduates. He is the grandson of Dick Roy of Berlin and Joseph Rozek of Berlin.

Big points night for North Country Late Models at Riverside Speedway

GROVETON -- This coming Sat-urday night at Riverside Speedway, could be a make or break night for a few drivers in the North Coun-try Ford Late Model division. Just three points separates the top three drivers. The young gun Jesse Swit-ser holds a one point advantage over the red hot Jeff Marshall and three points over three time defend-ing champion Bryan Mason. Add into the mix that the Late Models are going to open the Sign Depot/Kingdom Embroidery night with a make-up feature and then add into the fray that it is the “Clash of the Titans” qualifying night, and the sparks are going to fl y.

“I am expecting lots of action Sat-urday,” said general manager Jean LeBlanc. “Not only is there the guaranteed starting spot on the line

for the driver’s, there is the make-up feature to begin the night. The teams will have to decide which race they are willing to take chances in. If you coast through the fi rst event, you’ll have to go all out in the quali-fi er. We had some impressive runs last weekend by Brett Gervais and Cory Mason. Russ Clark has had a couple very good races, so right now I am not sure who I would give the upper hand to. All I know is that there is a lot on the line for these teams.”

The racing action opens at 6 p.m. with the make-up LMS race and then the regular night begins. Also on the card will be Super Stocks, Street Stocks, Dwarf Cars, Angels, Cyclones, and Daredevils. Catch all of your up to the minute racing news at www.riversidespeedway.org.

NCMBL regular season game results

NORTH COUNTRY --(7-2) Town and Country 85 vs. (0-9) Cross Machine 61

Justin Stroup led his team with 18 points and Jeff Atkinson had a big night contributing another 16. Rotat-ing all his players onto the fl oor Curtis Arsenault was able to get all his play-ers except one to hit double digit scoring on the night. Cody Lafl ame fi nally broke lose and lit it up for the Cross Machine team scoring 18 points. Unfortunately his effort fell short of getting the team its fi rst win.

Only fi ve players showed for Cross Machine. The tool workers were to tired to keep up with the fast tempo of the T+C team.

(8-1) Morneau Travel 84 vs. (2-7) Tough Guys 44

While the game stayed close for the fi rst 10 minutes of play, the Morneau Travel team, with only fi ve players decided to turn on the afterburners and run the fl oor. The tempo killed the Tough Guys game plan and they slowly fi zzled out. Matt Record and Jon Mullins had 10 points a piece for the Tough Guys. However, Dylan

Curry 27, Spencer Hill 23, and Damon Ness 21 had brilliant performances that got Morneau Travel back to its winning ways.

(8-1) Mr. Pizza 75 vs. (4-5) North Country Dental 69

Mr. Pizza elevated their record to 5-0 against divisional opponents and looks to stay undefeated in their division next week in their season fi nale. North Country Dental’s Jake Drouin dropped a team high 22 points and led his teams’ scoring while Bobby Simpson and Ethan Enman deposited 16 a piece. This strong showing was not enough to beat Mr. Pizza even without their team leader Keven James(hamstring injury). Mr. Pizza showed a balanced attack with fi ve players hitting double

digits and Mike Kenison leading his team with 17 points.

(3-6) Caron Building Center 73 vs. (4-5) Isaacson Steel 71

Caron Building Center bounced back up to 3rd in their division, in a crucial game against a divi-sional opponent that kept Caron’s in the race for 2second place in their division. Sam Jenson lit up the scoreboard with 21 points on fi ve threes and Jamason Levesque matched him notching 21 of his own. Anthony Bathalon’s 29 points and Chris Ther-rien’s 17 were only enough to get the Isaacson Steel team to within a layup of the tie. Bathalon had a layup and a three to tie and win the game in the last 30 seconds. Both attempts fell short and Isaa-cson’s dropped the contest.

GORHAM -- As the number of soccer players in the USA nears 20 million, the number one soccer company in the United States, Canada and Austra-lia, Challenger Sports, has been invited to hold one of their nationwide program of British Soccer train-ing camps right here in Gorham.

The Gorham Parks & Recreation Department have teamed up to host the week long British Soccer camp during the week of August 8, to 12.

Challenger will hold over 2,000 British Soccer camps this summer and will coach over 100,000 players between the ages of 4 and 18 and over 20,000 parents and coaches.

In this multi-dimensional interac-tive presentation you hear the voices of the wilderness and what makes them.

Sunday, August 14: Winged Migra-tion The fi lm begins with spring in N. America and the migration to the Arctic; the fl ight is a community event for each species. Once in the Arctic, it’s family time: courtship, nests, eggs, fl edglings, and fi rst fl ight. Chicks must soon fl y south. Bad weather, hunters and pollu-

tion take their toll. Then, the cameras go south of the Equator. Antarctica is the summer destination. The search for food, good weather, and a place to hatch young takes this annual cycle of stam-ina across continents and oceans.

Monday, August 15: Lurking in the Trees It started when a sinister looking bug fell on someone’s lap in a backyard on a summer afternoon. The chance discovery led to a terrible realization: insect invaders from Asia were killing trees in New England, and the only way to stop the pests was to cut down and grind up over 25,000 trees. Worcester, MA could be any town in America but it learned that in today’s world an inva-sive pest can sneak in, become estab-lished, and wreak havoc, unless citizens are informed and vigilant. A Nature Conservancy fi lm.

The family dance is geared for a combination of ages and generations all swirled in together. So come along, and step it down! For hun-dreds of years contra dancing has been a New England tradition. Sometimes a single fi ddler would provide the music. Family and neighbors would swing and stomp, sashay and do-si-do through

the evening hours in somebody’s barn or farmhouse kitchen. Today, although we have many other entertainment choices, growing numbers of people fi nd this kind of dancing is still one of the best ways to spend an evening with friends new and old.

This presen-tation is for EVERYONE -- hikers and non-hikers, people who are sedentary or active, outdoor enthusiasts and indoor home bodies, 10 year olds and 90 year olds and everyone in between.
