What’s your talent? City set to tax deed propertiesBERLIN -- The city council

Monday night approved a list of prop-erties to be deeded to the city on May 3 for non-payment of property taxes.

To get on the list, property owners have to be delinquent on their taxes since 2009. City Manager Patrick MacQueen said by law the tax col-lector is required to deed all of the properties to the city except those that might have environmental and hazardous material issues.

The list includes 73 properties although Housing Coordinator Linda White said she expects some prop-erty owners will pay their back taxes and interest between now and May 3. Owners have until the day of the tax deeding to get current.

The list includes more than a dozen properties owned by real estate cor-porations and trusts. There are also two downtown properties on the list – the former Cote Block and the former Woolworth Building.

Councilor Lucie Remillard said she wanted to make sure there were not property owners on the list in danger of becoming homeless because of cir-cumstances that left them unable to pay their taxes. In particular, she expressed concern that the list might contain senior citizens struggling to make ends meet. MacQueen said a lot of time and effort is involved in the tax deeding process and property owners receive many notifi cations. White said city staff works with

a $500,000 energy effi ciency project for Tri-County Community Action Program. A proposal to seek an additional $500,000 for the city’s Neighborhood Revitalization Program was put on hold until the Janu-ary 2013 funding round.

New maps expand ‘fl oodway’ designation along Gorham’s rivers

GORHAM — The appeal period deadline for the proposed changes to federal Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) is next week, and the Gorham selectmen hope to get some consider-ation for the residents impacted by the revisions. The selectman Paul Robitaille had expressed concerns at the public hearings held by the Fed-eral Emergency Management Agency last year, again brought the matter before Senator Jeanne Shaheen at a recent town hall meeting, and on Monday voiced his reservations to

Mike Scala from Senator Ayotte’s offi ce.

At their regular meeting on April 23, Robitaille and his fellow select-men, David Graham and Bill Jack-son, asked Scala to intervene on the town’s behalf in any way possible. Robitaille said he believed the gov-ernment’s basic data was fl awed and that the elevations listed on the maps were inaccurate.

The proposed maps, which are meant to update the 1994 versions, do not greatly expand the areas des-ignated as “special fl ood hazard” (see

SAYWHAT...Adversity causes some men to

break; others to break records.”

—William Arthur Ward

(NY Times) — The experts gathered around a conference table, sipped water and debated Dontari Poe, the oversize defen-sive tackle from Memphis and a likely fi rst-round pick in the 2012 N.F.L. draft. In this room, early in draft week, his size was indeed an issue, but not his athleti-cism, smarts or speed.

“We wanted some per-sonality,” Rachel Johnson said. “But we don’t want anything too bold. That can be overwhelming with taller guys who have more pres-ence, or more body.”

That statement qualifi ed as a scouting report, but not the usual, on-fi eld ver-sion. Johnson cared little for where Poe would be drafted, As Poe’s draft stylist, John-son cared more about the wide lapels on his suit jacket and the fabric swatches her team had selected.

On Thursday, a series of young men, all muscu-lar and athletic, will saunter across the stage at Radio City Music Hall to shake hands with Roger Goodell, commissioner of the N.F.L. Most, if not all, will wear custom suits, with bright patterned ties and fash-ionable pocket squares fi t for the red carpet. Many will make the same choice as Poe did, adding a draft stylist to the usual crew of handlers (agent, publicist, strength coach).

LONDON (NY Times) — With a political fi re-storm cascading over the British government’s ties to his media empire, Rupert Murdoch pre-sented himself to a judicial inquiry on Wednes-day as a blunt-talking businessman with a wide variety of interests and acquaintances who nevertheless did not seek to use his con-siderable power to manipulate British govern-ments over the last several decades.

While acknowledging meetings, dinners and shared quips with a series of prime ministers and and other members of the British political elite over the years, Murdoch asserted, “I don’t

know many politicians.”He spent several hours testifying before the so-

called Leveson inquiry on media ethics, which was established after a scandal involving phone hacking at Murdoch’s tabloid News of the World deepened with allegations of payments to public offi cials, destruction of evidence and other wrongdoing. Looming over the arrests of reporters, editors and Murdoch executives that followed were broader concerns that Murdoch and his family had become almost shadow royalty — exerting great authority behind the scenes in a country that he fi rst encoun-tered as a student, at Oxford, in the 1950s.

In testimony, Murdoch plays down political pull

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Justices across the ideologi-cal spectrum appeared inclined to uphold a controversial part of Arizona’s aggressive 2010 immigration law, based on their questions on Wednesday at a Supreme Court argument.

“You can see it’s not selling very well,” Justice Sonia Soto-mayor, a member of the court’s liberal wing and its fi rst Hispanic justice, told Solicitor General

Donald B. Verrilli Jr., referring to a central part of his argument.

Verrilli, representing the fed-eral government, had urged the court to strike down part of the law requiring state law enforce-ment offi cials to determine the immigration status of anyone they stop if the offi cials have reason to believe that the person might be an illegal immigrant.

“Why don’t you try to come up with something else?” Jus-

tice Sotomayor asked Verrilli.It was harder to read the

court’s attitude toward the three other provisions of the law at issue in the case, includ-ing ones that make it a crime for illegal immigrants to work or to fail to register with fed-eral authorities. The court’s ruling, expected by June, may thus be a split decision that upholds parts of the law and strikes down others.

Justices seem sympathetic to central part of Arizona law

Marines moving women toward the front lines

(NY Times) — The Marine Corps, the most male of the armed ser-vices, is taking its fi rst steps toward integrating women into war-fi ght-ing units, starting with its infantry offi cer school at Quantico, Va., and ground combat battalions that had once been closed to women.

The moves — announced by Gen. James F. Amos, the Marine Corps commandant, in a message sent to all Marines on Monday night — are intended largely to study how women perform in formerly male-only units, and refl ect new Pen-tagon rules released in February allowing women to serve closer to the front line.

The new Pentagon policy contin-ues the ban on women serving as infantrymen, Special Operations commandos and in other direct-combat positions. But it has opened the door to thousands of new jobs for women, who represent about 15 percent of the force.

The Army, which like the Marine Corps has excluded women from many jobs because of the physical demands or proximity to combat, is also studying ways to integrate women into ground combat units.

property owners to provide payment options.

Even after the tax sale, White said the property owner has 30 days to notify the city of his or her inten-tion to repurchase the property and another 15 days to repurchase it for back taxes, interest, and a 15 percent assessment penalty. The 15 percent penalty assessment can be waived for residential properties.

MacQueen said he recommended the city follow its policy of tax deed-ing all properties except those with environmental issues to avoid charges that it discriminates against certain property owners.

In other business:• The sewer user rate will remain

at $7.99 per 100 cubic feet based on three quarters of water usage. City Manager Patrick MacQueen said the city’s sewer rate is slightly below the state average. This will be the third year in a row with no increase in the rate.

• Mayor Paul Grenier asked the city council to support applying for $5,000 from Coos County to help fund the position of CAP Economic Development and Housing Coordina-tor Max Makaitis. Grenier explained that last year the county appropri-ated $15,000 for Makaitis. This year the commission decided not to fund Makaitis but to allow communities to apply for up to $5,000 each for eco-nomic development efforts. Grenier, who serves as a county commissioner, said he is working with the towns of Gorham and Shelburne on a joint

application to raise the $15,000 for Makaitis. He noted that Makaitis is working on a number of local eco-nomic development efforts including the Notre Dame project, the Gorham economic development task force, and reuse of the Isaacson property.

Councilor Diana Nelson pointed out that Makaitis is requesting $15,000 from the city. She asked if the $5,000 from the county would reduce the city’s contribution to $10,000. Grenier said the joint application is simply to replace the previous $15,000 county appropriation. He said Gorham has approved $5,000 and Berlin is being asked for $15,000. The $20,000 from the two communities plus the $15,000 from the county would split the cost of the position with CAP. With both Ducharme and Grenier abstaining, the council approved the application.

• Mayor Grenier and the city council said they were pleased with the handling of the water boil water order issued last Wednesday. Grenier said Water Works Superintendent Roland Viens was notifi ed of the test results after 6 p.m. Wednesday. Using the city’s web page and the social media site Facebook, city staff worked to spread the news. Grenier noted that by 10 p.m. most people in the city were aware of the order.

“I think we did a pretty good job,” he said.

City Planner Pamela Lafl amme, who helped spread the word, said the city is in the process of setting up a Berlin Facebook page that will be helpful in future situations that may arise.

Special fl ood hazard area: (also known as 100-year fl ood plain) The land in the fl oodplain within a com-munity with a one-percent or greater possibility of fl ooding in any given year. Consists of all Zone A varia-tions (A, A1-30, AE, AO, AH)

500-year fl oodplain: (also known as Zone X-shaded) Areas of the 100-year fl oodplain with average depths of less than one foot or with drain-age areas less than one square mile; and areas protected by levees from the one percent annual fl ood.

sidebar of FEMA defi nitions) but they do expand the river “fl oodway” along populated sections of the Androscog-gin, Peabody, and Moose Rivers. This change could have major cost reper-cussions for homeowners in those affected areas.

“It (fl ood insurance) can be very pricey for those in the worst zone,” said Shellie Bresnahan, a manager at Vaillancourt and Woodward Insur-ance in Berlin. The FEMA designa-tion for the worst zone is “fl oodway,” considering the riverbed itself is part of that category.

While the exact number of Gorham homes affected was not immediately available and individual landowners are not notifi ed, a comparison of the 1994 version and proposed 2012 ver-sion show some substantial changes in designation. Among the changes are an expansion of the fl oodway into areas formerly designated as fl ood-plain “AE” (one of 7 subsections of the 100-year fl oodplain).

In the area of Main Street, the 1994 map shows the fl oodway of the Androscoggin River as it fl ows behind Mr. Pizza, ending at the roadway. The new map, extends the fl oodway across the street, almost to the railroad bed in some locations, leaving many com-mercial and residential properties between Dublin and Church Streets likely to see higher insurance premi-ums. Just downstream, the entirety of the fl oodplain near the bend of the river in the neighborhood of Corbin Street, including the end of Mechanic Street, Androscoggin Street, Alpine Street as well as all of Corbin and parts of Willis Place and Howland

Ave., are now in the fl oodway.Similar situations have cropped up

on the Peabody and Moose Rivers. The section of Bangor Street that was in the 100-year fl oodplain is now considered fl oodway, as is part of the street that had been listed as 500-year fl oodplain on the 1994 map. On the Moose, the fl oodway in one section was expanded to include all of Water Street and nearly all of Broadway Street. Other expansions of fl oodways on all three rivers can be seen on the proposed maps.

Most of the affected areas are, in fact, close to the rivers and low lying areas adjacent to the rivers as the town has historically allowed devel-opment along the waterways. What that means for homeowners, however, is that those who have fl ood insur-ance could see their costs increasing substantially. Bresnahan said that because fl ood insurance is a govern-ment product there is no competitive pricing. The rate is uniform, based on amount of coverage, value of the home and fl ood zone designation. She said that typically the cost ranges from $1,000 to $2,000 annually, but she noted fi nding one home along the Pea-body near the golf course in Gorham had been charged $2,900 annually.

This could cause increased costs for existing homeowners and potential challenges for those looking to sell since new buyers would fi nd their bank require fl ood insurance in accor-dance with the maps in order to reduce the risk to the bank, Bresnahan said. The insurance requirement for exist-ing homeowners would depend on whether they own the home outright, in which case no insurance is manda-

FLOODWAY from page one tory, or if their bank would add the requirement on existing mortgages. Bresnahan said that although many properties would now share a desig-nation with the river itself, there is no location where insurance will be denied.

With the concerns of the select-men heard, Scala said he would make some phone calls. Town Manager

Robin Frost said on Wednesday that she was in the process of trying to line up what information was needed for the town to fi le an appeal prior to the May 3 deadline.

Hello fellow Berlinites. Some of the news for April in the local papers started with a new building on Glen Avenue and some his-tory found by Mr. Albert Wheeler.

On Sunday, March 25, 1965 at 1 p.m., Louie Catello and Son offi cially opened their new building at 680 Glen Avenue. This fi rm had grown from a part time operation in 1949 to one that gave employment to eight people on a full or part time basis.

The building was built on land which previ-ously had little or no value. A cement retain-ing wall with seeding and landscaping were later put in. Mr. Catello had led New England in sales and service for the past two years and was an authorized factory sales and ser-vice agency for many products.

Mr. Albert Wheeler of York Pond Road had a hobby of fi shing streams, but not for fi sh. He was interested in odd stones, so he scanned the side of streams for anything that was unusual in rock formation, just like a prospector hunted for gold.

Somewhere in the area that he searched, Wheeler found an unpol-ished axe head. A book in Wheeler’s library stated that cavemen didn’t start polishing until the ice age, so it was anyone’s guess.

From the Par-macheenee area, Wheeler found a stone that had broken open and looked like a pair of shoes. He also had petrifi ed wood from the West, Indian arrowheads of varying sizes and a stone that looked like a cake of salt. Along with this, he had mica, smoky quartz and iron pyrite.

This local prospector had many types of rocks from all over that resembled many dif-ferent things. I wonder where this collection is today.

By May of 1965, the Berlin Police Depart-ment was moving into the future. The papers said that they would be wired for sound, as the city council had approved the purchase of

four walkie-talkie radios to be used by police offi cers on the beat.

Police Chief Paul Tremblay said that these small portable two-way radios would replace the telephone boxes that were used by offi -cers to call headquarters.

Equipping these policemen on the beat with radios was another step in increasing the effi ciency of the Berlin PD. It was noted that an offi cer could make a call to headquar-ters and to patrol cars without leaving the scene of an accident, crime or area that was under surveillance.

At this time in 1965, the only way an offi cer on foot could report or receive a call was by going to one of the fi ve police telephone boxes. How many people remember these boxes?

Also, because of the new dial system that was coming, the emergency departments in Berlin were getting an update as of June 6, 1965. This meant that one call would get police or fi remen.

A central switchboard would be set up at police headquarters to handle all emergency calls. It was the fi rst step in what City Man-ager Stanley Judkins hoped would eventually be one switchboard for all city departments.

The emergency number would be 752-3131. This number was selected because of the ease with which it could be dialed, even in the dark and because the present police number was 31. This is the same number to call the police station today.

Berlin police dispatchers would handle all police and emergency ambulance calls and also serve as fi re dispatcher. On receipt of a fi re call, the dispatcher would immediately connect with the fi re department, report the type of fi re and its location.

At this time, there were two extensions, one to the central fi re department and one to the East Side fi re department. Times have certainly changed since then, especially with the 911 emergency number coming into exis-tence.

Now, all of this was taking place because of the new dial system. The headlines in the May papers said that “752 will be magic number on Berlin’s D-day”. Of course, the D meant that Berlin telephones would now come under the “Dial” system.

By the time that Berlin switched from “number please” to dialing in the early hours of June 6, 1965, every-body in this city would have seven brand new numbers with which to use.

This change would permit calls within the city without the need for local operators and would let Berlin people call Gorham or Milan with-out a toll charge. Also, it would make it possible for people in the entire Androscoggin valley to dial their own calls to almost every place in the United States and Canada.

Berlin’s exchange would be 752 and in addition to this, four other num-bers would be assigned. The paper explained how to call using all seven numbers and how to call Gorham (466) and Milan (449) using all seven numbers.

This may sound simple today, but one must remember that for over sixty years, Berlinites always used an operator.

At this time, to make a long dis-tance call, one would dial (1) and this would alert equipment at the Little-ton offi ce. Next, one would dial the area code of the place outside of New Hampshire that one wanted along with the local number. These area codes would be sent to each customer

on a card.The news article of 1965 explained

all of the numbers that had to be dialed in order to talk with out of state people. Today, it is so simple for us, but like learning the use of a computer, it took some time for elder residents who always depended on the operator, to get it right.

Manager of the local phone com-pany John Fitzpatrick said that he anticipated a few problems at the beginning that would have to be worked out. Local information could be accessed by dialing 411. For Gorham, that number was 7-411 and for Milan it was 75-411.

Fitzpatrick said that the absence of local operators would not be a handi-cap, if one needed assistance with a call or emergency. All one had to do was dial O and a specially trained operator would help the person call-ing.

How many people can remember this great switchover to dial tele-phone that took place on June 6, 1965? The phone system has cer-tainly changed in the last 47 years, not to mention cell phones and skype.

North Country workshop on building science basics to be held in Berlin

BERLIN -- Buildings, and particu-larly homes, are performance items, just like your car, your computer, or your television. Learning how build-ings work allows you to operate, build, renovate, market, or sell homes in a way that is better for your busi-ness, better for your customers or family, better for the environment. This course has been specially cre-ated for the North Country to help develop a local energy workforce.

On May 10 and 11, the city of Berlin, Berlin BetterBuildings, White Mountains Community College, and Lakes Region Community College will host How Buildings Work: The Basics of Building Science at White Mountains Community College in Berlin. The workshop will take place over two full days, and will be a combination of lecture, discussion, resource identifi cation, and hands-on fi eld visits. A portion of the two days will include a breakout session for realtors, appraisers, inspectors and others from the real estate industry. Participating in this workshop will add a valuable tool to your toolbox, allowing you to provide enhanced service to your clients.

The workshop presenter Peter Yost is the director of residential services for BuildingGreen, LLC in Brattle-boro, Vermont. He has been build-ing, researching, teaching, writing, and consulting on high-performance homes for more than 20 years. His

expertise stretches from construction waste management and advanced framing to energy effi ciency and building durability.

The How Buildings Work work-shop is one in a series of three trainings, culminat-ing with an industry -networking event for attendees. The cost of attending the train-

ing is $100 for the full

two day training which includes materials. Scholarships are available through Berlin BetterBuildings. The second in the series: The Building Analyst training will be held May 16 through May 18 and May 22 through May 24. The third: The Building Installer training will be held June 4 - June 7 and June 11 - June 15. Sign up now to reserve your place at this important workforce development training. Space is limited.

To register call Laurie Carrier at White Mountains Community Col-lege at 752-1113 ext. 3047.

For more information on scholar-ships, call Cimbria Badenhausen at Berlin BetterBuildings at 326-6166.

Do I have to go to the dealer for my new car’s maintenance?

True or false: Until your vehicle is out-of-warranty, all maintenance services 1) Just be done at the car dearlership or your factory warranty will be void. Although you may have answered “true”, the correct answer is “false”, according to the Car Care Council. It’s the law that independent repair shops can pro-vide the services to maintain your new car warranty.

“It’s a common misconception that only care deal-ers can perform the maintenance services on a newer vehicles that is under warranty,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Clearly, consumers can have maintenance services done by their local independent service shop without affect-ing your warranty, even though dealers and manu-facturers often suggest the opposite.

Mr. Auto

Be wise. Get an early start on your vehicle inspec-tion, in case there are repairs needed to pass state inspection. We have diagnostic equipment which can save you time and money and avoid costly and unnecessary repairs. Don’t delay! Call 752-1266 today.

Also, just a reminder to Berlin residents! Please ask for your tire disposal permit when you register your vehicle.

Driving technique and proper vehicle maintenance can go a long way toward protecting the environment and conserving fuel. The Car Care Council suggests fi ve easy ways to turn your car into a mean, green driv-ing machine – for your wallet and the environment.

Drive Green – Recognize that how you drive has a lot to do with fuel economy. Avoid sudden starts and stops and go the speed limit. Jerky and aggressive driving decreases your miles per gallon (MPG) and increases wear and tear on your vehicle. Minimize unnecessary miles by combining errands in one trip.

Check Tire Pressure – Each year, about two billion gallons of gas could be saved if the tires on every Amer-ican’s car were properly infl ated. Optimal tire pressure for your vehicle is listed in the owner’s manual. Tires that are not properly infl ated add rolling resistance

that makes the engine work harder to move the vehi-cle. All of this increases fuel costs as much as three to fi ve cents per gallon, and increases the risk of engine damage.

Get a Tune-Up – Regular tune-ups, maintenance and having clean air fi lters will help your car pollute less and burn less gas. With a proper tune-up, you can save four percent on the cost of gas and up to 40 percent by replacing a faulty oxygen sensor. Simply changing the car’s air fi lter can improve effi ciency by 10 percent.

Lighten the Load – Get the junk out of the trunk and the stuff out of your car, with the exception of emer-gency items such as a spare tire, fl ares and a fi rst-aid kit. Extra items weigh the vehicle down and cause an increase in gas usage.

Gas Caps and Fill-Ups – Check your vehicle’s gas

cap. Loose, damaged or missing gas caps cause mil-lions of gallons of gas to evaporate into the air every year. Topping off your gas tank when fi lling up your car can also release harmful vapors into the environment.

“These fi ve simple steps will help minimize the amount of pollutants from your vehicle and keep more ‘green’ in your wallet through better fuel economy,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Vehicle owners who do their own maintenance should remember to recycle or properly dispose of fl uids and other vehicle components, including used motor oil, tires and batteries.”

More information about environmental awareness is included in the popular digital Car Care Guide that can be easily accessed through the council’s newly-updated website at www.carcare.org.

Wight Street Car Wash

With the winter season behind us and the spring season in swing, now is a smart time to give your vehicle some TLC.

Wight Street Car first tip is to visit one of our three self serve bays and thoroughly wash your vehicle. Start with the pre soak option followed by using their high pressure wand, foaming brush and rinse cycle.

Second tip: Don’t forget the wax option. Waxing helps maintain your vehicles paint job and pre-vents damage such as scratches, rust, oxidation and harmful UV rays.

Third tip: Don’t forget the inside. Car mats and carpeting inside a vehicle deserve extra atten-tion, especially after a snowy winter. A little vacuuming, spot stain lifters and carpet cleaner can to a long way and get rid of the musty odor from the damp outdoors. Clean and protect your dash area and leather with our Armorall prod-ucts. Make your windows shine with one of our Wet Towels. Finish it off with a new tree air freshener.

Wight Street Car Wash has your spring clean-ing covered inside and out!

We now work on and sell a different kind of vehicle. Radio Controlled Vehicles from Traxxas are here now. Stock is growing every week and replacement and upgrade parts are on their way. Cars, trucks, buggies, boats and more! With speeds over 65mph on some models these are not only for kids but adults also. Come down and see them for yourself. You’ll be impressed. Call - 752-9855.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are savvy, that’s for sure. But consider-ing the opinions of another person will make you even more so. Even if you think you have your plans nailed down, ask around for different ideas. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your family will have an impact on your deci-sion-making process today. This is true whether or not they are nearby. Your connection bridges the gap of time and space. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This is the kind of day you prefer: Your mood is upbeat; your activities are offbeat. You’ll march happily to a different drummer who happens to be playing at a pretty snappy tempo. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your executive abilities will be highlighted. Though your decisions affect many, you make them without an ounce of stress or worry. You trust yourself, and that’s the essence of confi dence. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are moving quickly now, and the rest of the world lags behind. Not one to wait around in vain, you make sure you have something to do while others try to keep up with you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Start-ing too many projects at once is a form of procrastination, as it delays the completion of all goals. Keep it simple. Finish what’s on your plate, and then rest before you take on anything new. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Knowl-edge on its own isn’t worth much unless you can put it to good use. Today you’ll do some planning to come up with the exact action-steps that will take you where you want to go. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

don’t like it when others question your judgments, systems, strategies and decisions. But if you have a good answer, you’ll get to take credit for the success that happens next. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It is rare that you get long stretches of peace and quiet. You have to make the effort to keep the world at bay by going where you’re unlikely to be distracted. If you do this, you’ll love how you feel at the end of the day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You and your business are all wrapped together in one package now. You know what people get when they spend time with you and/or buy what you’re sell-ing. You’re confi dent in what you have to offer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re like a child trying to act older than his or her years; you want to grow quickly. But if you try to do too much too fast, you’ll only set yourself up for a stressful experience. Take it easy! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll get the feeling that you should veer off in your own direction, and it’s worth looking into. After all, you can’t leave your footprint on this Earth if you walk in another person’s tracks. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 26). Your tastes and desires are developing in interesting ways, which is refl ected in your choices this year. You’ll be fea-tured in a public forum because of your admirable style. Family happenings are featured in July, and you’ll play a new role with your loved ones then, too. August fun turns into a profi t opportu-nity. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 4, 37, 41 and 24.

DEAR ABBY: “Modern Dad in Roswell, Ga.” (Feb. 26) was put off that invitations to his young daughters are sent to his ex-wife’s home rather than to both his and the ex-wife’s. He assumes the sender is “sexist” and suggests the solution for children with two households is to be sent two invitations. As a parent who invites children to my home or to a party, I don’t feel I should be responsible for their parents’ commu-nication diffi culty. Often I am not even aware that a child has two households. The invitation simply goes home with the child to wherever he or she is that day. Personally, I think “Modern Dad” is overly sensitive. He needs to realize that no one is deliberately snubbing him or making assumptions about parental roles. They are just invit-ing his kids to things, for which he should be grateful. Did he share his address with the inviter? Does he make his prefer-ence clear to parents when meeting them? I believe it’s presumptuous to expect someone to send two invitations to the same child. And I agree with you, Abby, that “Dad” needs to improve communication with his ex-wife so he no longer feels he is being prevented from being an “active parent.” -- REGULAR MOM IN TENNESSEE DEAR REGULAR MOM: A majority of readers agreed that more sharing of information between the girls’ mother and “Dad” will solve his problem. Other parents’ comments: DEAR ABBY: Friends, acquaintances and professionals should not have to go out of their way to cover all the bas-es. Given the number of divorced, remarried and otherwise situated families, more than a single contact point becomes burdensome for those trying to complete business or issue simple invitations.

My guess is, even though the girls stay with Dad, he doesn’t have relationships with most of their friends’ parents. Unless he cultivates these connections (with the mothers, most likely), it is improbable that he will be added to the con-tact list. -- CHALLENGED, TOO, IN SEVERNA PARK, MD. DEAR ABBY: I know from organizing school activities that often only one parent supplies an email address to the school, and it’s usually the mom. If “Modern Dad’s” ex-wife would cooperate by sending him a list of email addresses of those most likely to issue invites, he could send out a polite mes-sage sharing his contact information with those other parents. Also, if he reaches out to help arrange carpools or organize social outings -- which is usually a “mom” job -- he’ll become an added member of “the group.” -- NON-SEXIST MOM IN ILLINOIS DEAR ABBY: Our solution to this problem was to use an online computer calendar for the kids’ events. That way, re-gardless of which parent gets the invite, it can be posted on the calendar with the appropriate details. (Privacy settings can be set so the calendar is not viewable to the general pub-lic.) -- FLORIDA FATHER DEAR ABBY: My son’s school sends out a parent directory that includes both my and my ex-husband’s email addresses. I receive a lot of information, including invitations by email, and always see my ex’s address included on everything as well. Not having to remind him about parties and school events has taken a huge load off my shoulders. Maybe “Dad” can suggest his daughters’ school start a parental email list and make sure his information stays updated. -- INVOLVED TEXAS MAMA

White Mountain Cafe and Bookstore presents a bone-chilling book signing

GORHAM -- The White Moun-tain Cafe and Bookstore, at 212 Main Street in Gorham, will wel-come author Theodore Sares to the White Mountain Cafe and Bookstore Sunday, April 29, from 2 to 4 p.m. His new book, “Shattered”, is a col-lection of true crime stories. Brace yourself!

“If you’re looking for a book about Ted Bundy, Jack the Ripper, and Son of Sam, you won’t fi nd it here,” said his publisher, “Ted Sares’s latest book, “Shattered” delves deep into

lesser-known cases, like those of Chester the Molester Turner, the New Orleans Sniper, and the New Bedford Highway Killings. The bone-chilling murders and terrifying killers that Sares researches provide the backdrop for this fascinating col-lection of true-crime essays.”

You’ll want to leave the light on after reading “Shattered”.

For more information on the event, please call the White Mountain Cafe and Bookstore at 466-2511 or email info at whitemountaincafe.com.

BERLIN/COLEBROOK -- Two additional Coös County childcare centers have earned Licensed Plus. Kids Only Day Care Center, located on Main Street in Berlin, and All About Kids Learning, LLC, located on Parsons Street in Colebrook, have received notifi cation from the Child Development Bureau that they have attained Licensed Plus status. Jane LeBlanc, owner and director of Kids Only, has worked in the fi eld for thirty-two years and has owned her business since 1991. She employs fi ve local childcare professionals and supervises two Berlin High School early child-hood students per semester. Her staff cares for 43 children, from the ages of one year to twelve years of age. Nicole Benway-Ladd, a recent graduate of the early childhood program at White Mountains Community College, is the owner and director of All About Kids. Her center will celebrate its fi rst anni-versary this summer and employs two staff members who serve 14 children.

Licensed Plus is the second of three levels that make up New Hampshire’s Quality Rating System (NH QRS) for childcare centers. It is a signifi cant benchmark for childcare profession-als, and for families who are inter-ested in identifying programs that aspire to high quality. NH QRS rec-ognizes centers that strive to improve their practices and staff qualifi cations by attending professional develop-ment events, implementing current evidence-based activities, and improv-ing communication with families and the community.

Kids Only and All About Learn-ing join four other Coös County child care centers to earn Licensed Plus status in the last year. Centers are required to meet 16 standards set by the Child Development Bureau, such as evidence of communication with families, samples of performance

evaluations for staff, and attendance at specifi c professional development events. In order to stay abreast of the latest research in the fi eld of early childhood, LeBlanc and Benway-Ladd encourage their staff to attend local and national events in the fi eld, such as the NHAEYC conference held last week at Plymouth State University.

To contact Jane LeBlanc, or to inquire about her program, access her website at www.kidsonlydaycare.com or call 603-752-5564. To contact Nicole Benway-Ladd, or to inquire about her program, access her website at www. allaboutkidsnb.weebly.com or call 603-237-1160.

Both directors are active members of the Coös County Director Network, an ongoing program of the Early Childhood Initiative. White Moun-tains Community College is home to the Early Childhood Initiative and is a partner in the Early Childhood Development North Country Strategy funded by the Neil and Louise Til-lotson Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. The goal of the Initiative is to help childcare cen-ters throughout Coos County improve the quality of their programs. The fi ve-year strategy is designed to help all children thrive by focusing ser-vices and information for parents on the early years of growth and develop-ment, supporting professional devel-opment and continued education for early childhood professionals, increas-ing access to infant mental health, and strengthening childcare and preschool services for all children, ages birth to 6, in Coos County. It is guided by the belief that investing early in families with young children will improve the future community and economic vital-ity and stability of the North Country.

cations for more than twice the funding available. The NRP has received two CDBGs in the past which it used to help 63 households in the city make needed home repairs and bring their houses up to housing codes. She said there is a waiting list of 20 households that want to take part in the program.

White noted the NRP works with CAP’s weatherization program and Berlin Better Buildings to lever-age additional funds. She said the program is part of the city’s effort to improve Berlin’s housing stock and help install pride in the city’s neighborhoods.

Mayor Paul Grenier asked if the NRP request for funding could be pushed back to next January. White said the program will have spent all of its available money before then and she would like to continue the momentum that exists. But she said both proposals were good and she would abide by the council’s decision.

Grenier said CAP wants to apply for the funding to make its build-ings more energy efficient, espe-cially the Angel-Guardian building.

Councilor Lucie Remillard said

CAP wants to winterize the Angel-Guardian building to save money. Councilor Dori Ducharme, who is the chief financial officer for CAP, said the agency does not know how long it can continue to go on in the building as it currently exists. Ducharme abstained from voting on the CDBG proposals.

In a follow-up interview, CAP Deputy Director Peter Higbee, who sits on the council but was not present Monday night, and CAP Property Management and Spe-cial Projects Director Dick Huot, explained that the agency has developed a $725,000 proposal to improve the energy efficiency of several of its buildings. Both men said the prime focus is the three-story Angel-Guardian building which houses the Senior Meals, Head Start, Service Link, Adult Daycare, and Youth Alternatives Program.

“It’s a pretty active location,” said Higbee.

It is also a very expensive build-ing to heat. Huot said the building uses over 14,000 gallons of fuel oil annually. Higbee said the plan calls for weatherizing the building and looking at converting it to heating

COUNCILfrom page one with wood pellets. In addition to the $500,000 CDBG grant, the proposal includes $75,000 from the Retail Merchants Association and $150,000 from Berlin Better Buildings.

Grenier asked about the possi-bility of splitting the application between CAP and NRP.

City Planner Pamela Lafl amme said the city did that in the last application with NRP by including the Holiday Center. She said that appeared to weaken the application and it was not funded.

Lafl amme said the problem for CAP is the Berlin Better Build-ings money has to be spent by next spring. The January funding round would be too late to meet that dead-line.

But she also noted that CAP is applying for another CDBG through Coos County for the Notre Dame project. Lafl amme said the N.H. Community Development Finance Authority, which awards the grants, may want CAP to prioritize between

the two projects.Grenier noted that normally he

would not advocate for CAP over a city project. But he said the program provides many valuable services to the city.

Councilor Diana Nelson said the NRP is important as well because it provides money to residents to fi x up their properties and make them more effi cient. With the recent lay-offs at Isaacson and Car-Freshner, she said more citizens will be look-ing to cut home heating costs.

In the end, the council decided to support the CAP proposal for the July funding round and postpone the NRP application until January.

The Community Development Block Grant program is a federal program designed to assist low- and moderate-income people.

It is available to communities and counties for local community development projects. The city may sub-grant the CDBG to a non-profi t organization.
