Commission wants county attorney offi ce in courthouseWEST STEWARTSTOWN -- The dispute

between Coos County Robert Mekeel and the county commissioners over offi ce space for the county attor-ney continues.

At their monthly meeting last week, the commis-sioners instructed county offi cials to go forward with plans to move the county attorney’s offi ce back into the Coos County courthouse in Lancaster despite a lack of input from Mekeel. The county attorney’s offi ce is currently located in the former Lancaster National Bank building.

“It’s time we stop playing games with him,” said

Commission Chair Burnham Judd.“He’s been very unagreeable and very uncoopera-

tive,” said Commissioner Paul Grenier in a follow-up phone call. Grenier went even further, openly calling for Mekeel’s defeat if he runs for a second term in 2012.

“I think the county would do itself a huge service by canning this guy next year,” he said.

The county attorney offi ce, which also includes the victim witness advocate offi ce, had been located in a 1,000 square foot offi ce in the courthouse. Mekeel took the commission to court last year, arguing the space was unsuitable for the needs of his offi ce, which also includes the Victim Witness Advocate

offi ce. Superior Court Justice Peter Bornstein ruled in Mekeel’s favor. The offi ce then moved to a 2,000 square foot space in the Lancaster National Bank building.

The commissioners are proposing to relocate the county attorney’s offi ce in the former probate offi ce on the fi rst fl oor of the courthouse. The register of probate has moved to the second fl oor of the court-house. The probate space is a little over 1,500 square feet.

Coos County Administrator Sue Collins said Colebrook contractor Daniel Hebert, Mekeel, and Attorney Phil Waystack, who is representing the

Coos economy sees some positive developments

COOS COUNTY -- Some positive economic developments have taken place in Coos County recently that bode well for the long term according to Max Makaitis, economic development and hous-ing director for Tri-County Com-munity Action Program.

Makaitis provided an overview of recent economic activity in the county to the city council Monday night and the Coos County Commissioners last Thursday. Makaitis’ position is partly funded by both the city and county.

Makaitis said the biomass plant under construction in Berlin is a key development because it will generate disposable income that will help sustain other area busi-nesses. He said it will create 40

direct jobs and about 200 indirect jobs.

He said there is still 40 acres on the property for other businesses to co-locate there and at least one, Kestrel Aircraft, has expressed interest. With the availability of excess heat and additional acre-age owned by North American Dismantling, he said the area will become an industrial park for Berlin.

“The overall picture looks very good for Berlin,” he said.

Makaitis said he believes Con-gress will eventually fund the opening of the federal prison which will create jobs and attract younger people to the region.

He was also hopeful about the future of the Groveton mill site which a Bath company recently

Resource consolidation looked atGORHAM — Ways to increase

purchasing power for books, fuel, technology and possibly even transportation, health care and other staffi ng costs are the driv-ing force for a new collaboration planned to reach across the entire North Country educational com-munity.

NCES (North Country Edu-

cational Services) Director Ray Healey was on hand at last week’s meeting of the SAU 20 board to outline a plan to establish a col-laborative working environment for educational and community leaders. He is scheduled to pres-ent the project at the Berlin School Board meeting this week as well.

zombies

SAYWHAT...

ATLANTA (NY Times) — Welcome to the Zombie Capital of the World.

That, at least, is what Atlanta magazine, the glossy monthly, has dubbed this Southern city.

It’s not only that “The Walk-ing Dead,” the hit zombie show that began its second season on AMC on Sunday, is fi lmed and set here. Or that Atlanta holds some of the nation’s largest zombie fi lm festivals, zombie parades and zombie haunted houses. Or that even the Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention, that staid Atlanta-based federal agency, joined in the fun with a tongue-in-cheek guide to surviving a zombie apocalypse.

It is mainly that there are Atlantans like Kevin Gal-braith, a 24-year-old Georgia State University student who is one of the 6,000 people who applied to be zombie extras on “The Walking Dead.” The pay is meager, the hours are long, the weather is steamy, and even their friends barely recognize them, staggering around in the background, coated in fake blood and corpse-gray paint. And only 200 will be chosen each season.

“You have to be the sort of kid who grew up practic-ing your zombie walk in the mirror,” said Galbraith, a lanky, 115-pound horror fan who beat the odds and was cast in both seasons. “I feel more alive than ever when I’m dead.”

TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton pledged political and economic support for Libya’s new transitional government on Tuesday, even as a senior administration offi cial warned that Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi and his loyalists remain “a lethal nuisance” that could stall the country’s transition.

Mrs. Clinton, the administration’s most ardent champion of the NATO-led inter-

vention, arrived here from Malta aboard an American military jet shortly after noon, and was greeted by a phalanx of uni-formed fi ghters, part of an irregular militia that now controls Tripoli’s airport.

They chanted, “God is great,” and raised their hands in signs of victory.

“I am proud to stand here on the soil of a free Libya,” Mrs. Clinton said at an Islamic conference center in the capital after meet-

ing with the country’s interim leaders, including the chairman of the Transitional National Council, Mustafa Abdel-Jalil.

Mrs. Clinton raised a host of issues with Mr. Abdel-Jalil and other Libyan offi cials, including consolidation of political con-trol over the country, prevention of violent retaliation against Colonel Qaddafi ’s sup-porters, and integration of the myriad rebel militias into a new security structure.

JERUSALEM (NY Times) — In an elaborate prisoner exchange that could roil Middle East poli-tics, an Israeli soldier held for more than fi ve years by the mili-tant Palestinian group Hamas was swapped on Tuesday for hundreds of Palestinians who have spent many years in Israeli jails, all them freed to jubilant welcomes tinged with bitterness and grief.

Buses transporting the Palestin-ian prisoners — the fi rst group of what will eventually number more than 1,000 — made their way into Egypt, which helped broker the

exchange, and from there to the West Bank and Gaza Strip where relatives and celebrations awaited.

The soldier, Sgt. First Class Gilad Shalit, 25, was taken from Gaza, where he had been held since Pales-tinian militants abducted him in a cross-border raid in 2006, into Egypt and from there to Israel, where he was given a medical check and declared in good health. Looking pale and thin, he changed into a military uniform and was fl own to an Israeli military base where he was reunited with his family and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

(NY Times) — Preliminary results from the trial of a malaria vaccine show that it protected nearly half of the children who received it from bouts of serious malaria, scientists said Tuesday.

The vaccine, known as RTS,S and made by GlaxoSmithKline, has been in development for more than 25 years, initially for the American military and now with most of its support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The clinical trial is scheduled to continue through 2014 and will include tests on more than 15,000 children, from infancy on up. Early results released at a Seattle malaria conference on Tuesday showed that three doses protected 47 percent of the 6,000 children ages 5 months to 17 months from severe malaria.

“The results are encouraging, but we still have a way to go,” said Dr. Tsiri Agbenyega, who heads malaria research at a Ghanaian hospital that was one of the 11 research sites.

Fire destroys East Conway meat businessEAST CONWAY — Investigators

are blaming grease for a fi re that destroyed a local meat seller’s busi-ness on East Conway Road Monday evening.

Grease near the door of the smok-ing operation caught fi re, fi re offi cials told Darrell Robinson, owner of East Conway Beef and Pork, starting the blaze that burned his two buildings down.

The fi re started around 7:50 p.m. Monday, according to police dispatch logs. Firefi ghters were able to get the fi re under control that evening, but the fi re sparked back up around 5

a.m. the next morning and took down an adjacent building that was part of the operation.

The fi re burned fast, East Conway fi re chief Richard Merr said, because of old construction, and the freezers made fi ghting the fi re more compli-cated.

Firefi ghters from Center Conway, North Conway, Fryeburg, Redstone and Saco Valley all helped East Conway Fire Department fi ght the blaze.

“They all worked hard,” he said, but the buildings were too far gone. “It’s all ruined. It’s basically a total loss for them."

Investigators from the state fi re marshal's offi ce did not come to the

scene, deputy fi re marshal John Ray-mond said, because local offi cials were able to determine the cause. “They were happy with what they had.”

Robinson, meanwhile, was still waiting for the gravity of what had happened to hit him on Tuesday.

“We put a lot of money into this place,” Robinson said standing next to the giant pile of debris that a day earlier was represented his livelihood. “There was a lot of meat. It was the most we’ve ever had.”

Among the losses was meat from 120 pigs, a $30,000 slicer, a $20,000 grinder and 10 compressors. Robin-son had put 16 years into building the business.

Luckily, he said, no one was hurt and

none of his live animals were injured.An independent insurance company

fi re investigator stood nearby making phone calls while Robinson described what he lost. Robinson was unsure of the value and how much his insur-ance would cover.

What’s more, he said, he wasn’t sure how to sort out what his clients lost in the fi re. He was storing meat for people, and the records of who had what was in the offi ce area that burned to the ground. Even the busi-ness phone was destroyed in the blaze.

Despite the hardship, however, Rob-inson was thankful for the fi refi ghters who came the night before and that morning.

“They did a good job,” he said.

Police search for missing 9-year-oldEAST HAMPSTEAD — A large-

scale search is continuing for a 9-year-old boy last seen in his Hampstead yard Monday afternoon.

Offi cers are searching for Devin Frenette, who was last seen playing in his Catherine Avenue yard at about 1 p.m. Monday, according to Fish and Game Lt. James Juneau.

Hampstead police were notifi ed four hours later and began the search, police said.

A command post for the search was set up outside the Hampstead Fire

Department on Tuesday, and addi-tional searchers arrived for a ground search.

Frenette is 3 feet 6 inches tall and 50 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue fl eece jacket, khaki pants and sneakers.

Local police offi cers were joined by sheriff ’s deputies, a county command truck, multiple Fish and Game offi -cers, the New Hampshire State Police K-9 unit and six more K-9 units from New England Canine Search and Rescue.

On Monday night, a state police helicopter with infrared technology was brought in to help.

“Our biggest challenge is nightfall and dealing with darkness,” said Juneau. “It didn’t get to freezing tonight, but it certainly cooled off, enough to a point where we are concerned.”

“Most children are going to try to take care of the basic needs. If they get cold, they’re going to try to remedy that and seek shelter,” Juneau said.

Nearby residents were notifi ed by an automated phone call.

The search is centered around Cath-erine Avenue in East Hampstead.

Juneau said the area is mostly wet-lands with some swamps, and search-ers will not have to deal with many elevation issues.

Authorities said Frenette left home back in May but was found a few miles away about four hours later.

Devin’s family returned from a two-week vacation to Florida on Monday.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 603-329-5700.

There was a NFL football game on Sunday. It was probably the best, most exciting game of the season so far. With about 30 seconds left on the clock and the Patriots trailing the Dallas Cowboys by 3 points, 16 - 13, Tom Brady, the Pat’s quarterback threw an 8 yard pass into the Dallas end zone. Tight end Aaron Hernandez caught it in a diving play. He held on too it. The Patriots kicked the extra point and took the lead 20 - 16..

Up until that moment, it appeared that the Dallas defensive coordinator, Rob Ryan, had out-coached and out-foxed the Patriot’s Master Minds of Head Coach Bill Belicheck and Quarterback Tom Brady for the second year in a row. He had been the Defensive Coordinator for the Cleveland Browns last season when the Browns defeated the Pats. It was one of only two loses for them during the regular season.

While those of us watching had expected a hard fought game on Sunday, when the Cow-boys went ahead by 3 points in the fourth quarter we thought the Pats would take the football downfi eld and score with either a fi eld goal to tie the game or a touchdown to go ahead by 4 points. It was a very Brady-like moment where he had shown in the past his great skill and indomitable will to win. With over 5 minutes left in the game after the Cowboys had scored, the Patriots got the ball on their 20 yard line and roared into action. They went three plays and out. They punted

and Dallas had the ball and the lead with about 3 minutes to play.

As the teams lined up, it truly seemed like a lost cause. The Dallas quarterback Tony Romo had had some success moving the football against the Pats. If he could get a fi rst down now, the game would probably be over and for the second year in a row Rob Ryan would have prevailed and beaten the Pats But the Dallas play callers, not trust-ing Romo to throw the ball in the critical moment, opted for 3 running plays. Each play failed, and the Cowboys were forced to kick the ball downfi eld on fourth down. The Pats, unbelievably, had the ball on their own twenty yard line with 2 minutes and 30 sec-onds left on the clock.

For long time fans like me, it was a moment we had lived through many times in the past. We knew, with quarterback Tom Brady fi rmly in control we had a chance to tie the game or, hopefully, too win it. It was a glorious march down the fi eld as Brady completed 10 of 11 passes to Hernandez, Brontkowski and We Welker. Finally, with 30 seconds left the touchdown was made the point after added. With 22 seconds left on the clock, with the score at 20 - 16 Patriots, the Cowboys had the ball back with 80 yards between them and a touchdown. It was the 32nd time Tom Brady had led his team to victory on the last drive of the game.

It was a good win!

A Good WinPlease respect the ‘No Hunting’ postings

To the editor:With the fi rearm hunting

season for moose and white tail deer in New Hampshire starting in the near future, the directors of the Andro-scoggin Valley Fish & Game Association want to encour-age our Association mem-bers and non-members and general public to respect the “No hunting postings” in the Dummer Pond area, Philips Brooks, Millsfi eld and the Dixville Peaks where the Brookfi eld wind farm project is currently under construc-tion. It is our understand-ing that once the project is completed these areas will be re-opened for the public to enjoy their outdoor recre-ational preferences.

As sporting enthusiasts we all need to respect the landowners, developers

and construction workers right to be safe while the diligently work towards the successful completion of this immense project. It is very important for sports-men to sacrifi ce this season within the posted areas to ensure many more years of recreation on these private lands. We realize that the sacrifi ce will be painful for some than for others, but in the end we believe that everyone will be winners by being able to enjoy the ben-efi ts for many years to come. Therefore we would like to thank everyone in advance for the doing the right thing for everyone’s safety and welfare as we cooperate and respect the posted “No Hunting Zones”

see HOLIDAY page 5If, in the 1960s, you had tried to judge Amer-

ica by looking at the sit-ins and Woodstock, you would have had a very distorted picture of where the country was heading. You wouldn’t have been able to predict that Richard Nixon would win the youth vote in 1972, which he did. You wouldn’t have been able to predict that Republicans would go on to win four out of the next fi ve presidential elections, a streak only interrupted by Jimmy Carter, who ran as a conservative Democrat.

Similarly, if you look only at the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements that have been getting so much coverage in the news media, you know very little about the wider America. Most Americans seem to understand this. According to data from the Pew Research Center, they are paying less attention to the Occupy Wall Street movement than any other major story — less than Afghanistan, Amanda Knox, the 2012 election, the death of Steve Jobs and far, far less than news about the economy.

While the cameras surround the fl amboyant fringes, the rest of the country is on a different mission. Quietly and untelegenically, Ameri-cans are trying to repair their economic values.

This project begins with the pessimism and anger you see in the protest movements. Sev-enty percent of Americans now say their coun-try is in decline, according to various polls. When people are gloomy they have fewer babies, and, sure enough, fertility rates have dropped

sharply, with the most dramatic plunges occur-ring in the hardest hit states, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.

But that doesn’t mean people are just shrink-ing back. Quietly but decisively, Americans are trying to restore the moral norms that under-gird our economic system.

The fi rst norm is that you shouldn’t spend more than you take in. After an explosion of debt over the past few decades, Americans are now reacting strongly against the debt culture. According to the latest Allstate/National Jour-nal Heartland Monitor poll, three-quarters of Americans said they’d be better off if they car-ried no debt whatsoever. Not long ago, most people saw debt as a useful tool for consump-tion and enjoyment. Now they see it as a seduc-tion and an obstacle.

By choice or necessity, eight million Ameri-cans have stopped using bank-issued credit cards, according to The National Journal. The average credit card balance has fallen 10 per-cent this year from 2010. Banks, households and businesses are all reducing their debt levels.

Second, Americans are trying to re-establish the link between effort and reward. This was the link that was severed on Wall Street, where so many made so much for work that served no productive purpose. This was the link that was frayed by the bailouts, when people who broke

the rules still got rewarded.In sphere after sphere, strong

majorities want to see a balance between what you produce and what you get. The bank bailouts worked and barely cost the government any-thing, but they are ferociously unpop-ular because the unjust got rewarded. The auto bailouts mostly worked, but they are unpopular even in the Midwestern states that directly ben-efi ted because those who failed in the market still got the gold. Public sector unions are unpopular because of the perception that benefi t packages are out of balance.

The third norm is that loyalty mat-ters. A few years ago there was a cele-bration of Free Agent Nation. But now most people, even most young people, would rather work long-term for one company than move around in search of freedom and opportunity.

This values restoration is reshap-ing the way Americans see the world around them. Many economists say the cutback in consumption will hurt

the economy in the short run. But, according to the Heartla. seem to agree with that. But 56 percent have said “government spending when the government is already running a defi -cit is the wrong approach during an economic downturn because it is only a temporary solution that increases long-term debt.”

These majorities are focused on the fundamentals. They say that repair-ing the economic moral fabric is the essential national task right now. They are suspicious of government action in general, saying that government often undermines this fabric. But they sup-port specifi c federal policies that nur-ture industriousness, responsibility and delayed gratifi cation, like spend-ing on infrastructure, education and research. They distinguish between the deserving and undeserving rich.

America went through a similar values restoration in the 1820s. Then, too, people sensed that the country had grown soft and decadent. Then, too, Americans rebalanced. They did it quietly and in private.

Hikers rescued after being injuredMT. MADISON -- A Maryland

man was rescued Monday, Oct. 17, after falling eight tenths of a mile from the summit of Mt. Madison. At approximately 1 p.m. a call came in from 911 to New Hampshire Fish and Game that a hiker had sustained seri-ous injuries while on Mt. Madison. Sixty-four year old John Treacy of Olnay, Maryland, is a sectional hiker of the Appalachian Trail and fell eight tenths of a mile from the summit of the mountain, said a press release issued Tuesday. Treacy sustained non-life threatening injuries to his right arm as well as minor head lacerations from the fall. The incident happened on the Osgood trail near the junction of Daniel Webster Scout Trail.

Along with conservation offi cers from around the state responding to the incident, a National Guard Black-hawk was called in from Concord to assist. Before all the offi cers could get to the scene the National Guard was able to get Treacy off of the mountain and fl ew him down to Gorham Airport at approximately 5 p.m. At the airport

he was unloaded by conservation offi -cers and transported to Androscoggin Valley Hospital by Gorham EMS.

AMC and Mt. Washington State parks assisted in the efforts of getting everything organized and locating the Treacy on the trail.

At approximately 8 p.m. Monday night, a call came in from 911 to New Hampshire Fish and Game that a hiker had injured her ankle while hiking down the Jewell trail. Thirty-three-year-old Janet Thomp-son of Quakertown, Pennsylvania, was hiking with her husband when Janet had ankle pain from a previ-ous injury. An AMC employee hiked up Jewell trail at approximately 8:30 p.m. and located her. AMC was able to put an air cast ankle support on Janet and started making their way down the trail slowly. A conservation offi cer also hiked up the trail and met the group to assist her down. She was assisted out and reached the Cog Rail-way parking lot at approximately 11 p.m. Janet’s injuries were not serious enough to go to the hospital.

Top FurnitureThe importance of a good

night’s sleepWe’re not here to sell you on a new

mattress, but we can’t underesti-mate the importance of getting solid sleep. In today’s over-worked, caf-feine-fueled society, proper sleep can help reduce stress levels, increase productivity and keep you healthier. To get better sleep, maybe you need a new bed or just better habits at night. See the back of this guide for some important sleep tips.

First things fi rst.Do you need a new mattress?That’s the big question. Be sure

that your bed is to blame for your sleepless nights.

Chances are if a couple of these signs apply to you, it’s time to start shopping:

You often wake up with stiffness, numbness, aches and pains.

Your bed hasn’t aged well. It sags, has lumps or, on those occasions

when you change the sheets, you can see stuff you shouldn’t, like strands of wire.

You often think to yourself, “I need a good night’s sleep. I better stay on the couch.”

Your mattress is older than the term “Hanging Chad.”

Regarding the age of your bed, you might think seven years or so isn’t very long.

But it’s important to remember that as you grow older and become a bit creakier, your bed has to keep up with your body’s needs and still give you proper support.

Lesson One: Know thy mattress.As you’ll soon learn when you

shop, there are many types of mat-tresses to choose from. A little home-work can help you in the store.

Innerspring mattresses, the most traditional type of mattress set, typically use systems of open coils

or metal springs layered between padding. When shopping, you’ll hear the term “coil count.” Typically, the higher the count, the more support you’ll get.

Encased coil spring mattresses, such as the original Pocketed Coil® spring mattress created by Simmons, feature an advanced innerspring system. The coils are individually wrapped in soft fabric. This allows each coil to adjust independently to your body.

Memory foam mattresses are con-structed of high-density polyure-thane and conform to the body to reduce pressure points and provide natural body alignment. Memory foam is temperature-sensitive and conforms as your body warms it. Latex foam is not sensitive to tem-perature and is available in many different densities. When you research, be on the lookout for new and better types of foam, such as Advanced NxG® Memory Foam in ComforPedic® mattresses.

Hybrid mattresses feature layers of foam and coils. These beds give you the comfort and support of both technologies.

If you’re not sure about buying an all-foam mattress, it makes for a nice compromise.

Air mattresses use air chambers as their primary support. A qual-ity air mattress will mold to body contours. Some models come with adjustable air chambers, so you can change your bed’s fi rmness when-ever you like— a great feature for the comfort-challenged among us.

Water mattresses come in several varieties but are all designed to con-form to the body to reduce pressure points.

Built for stability, today’s beds feel nothing like their groovy, wavy ancestors from the late 70s.

Gateway GalleryMats come in a wide range of

colors, styles and surfaces. While most applications are fi ne with paper surfaces. There are times when something more dramatic is desired - a fi ne oriental paint-ing may call for a silk mat, a sail-ing image may want a mat that resembles a piece of sail. Mats come in wider ranges of color in paper of course, but silks, linens, denims, suedes, hides and grass cloths all offer interesting alternatives. You should expect to pay more for these specialty materials. Mats can also be added in multiples giving more dimension and visual interest to your art. Remember these are added

to enhance your special pieces not to overpower it, if you see the fram-ing fi rst - simplify! Frames should pleasingly set off your art or trea-sured memories. While your decor may dictate a particular style never let it dominate the piece you wish to display, You want the item(s) to be the center of interest after all it is the art itself or the memories that you wish to preserve. The maxim “when in doubt do without” clearly works when framing. It is important to keep in mind the environment the art will live in - is it going into a bathroom - steam, into a kitchen - cooking oils, is there a smoker in the house, let your framer know.

Mountain Dove Cleaning Co.

commission., met on Aug. 26 to dis-cuss the probate space being used as the county attorney’s offi ce.

Since then, she said Waystack has tried several times to reach Mekeel by phone and sent him a letter, asking him to get back with his thoughts on the confi guration. She said Waystack is still waiting to hear from Mekeel. In the meantime, Mekeel left a voice mail with the county administrative offi ces, asking for the tax bill for the Lancaster National Bank space for his 2012 budget.

Grenier said he thought Mekeel was dragging his feet on the courthouse space and said he favored going for-ward with moving the offi ce back into the courthouse. He said Mekeel can take the county back to court if he dis-agrees with the decision.

Collins noted the commission had hoped to have the county attorney’s offi ce back in the courthouse by Jan. 1. Grenier said that appears unlikely now.

With the commission’s approval, Hebert and Waystack will proceed with developing a plan for the offi ce. Hebert will provide an estimate for the renovations. The plan will go to the state Bureau of Court Facilities which has to approve it. If the state approves the layout, the commission will go to the county delegation for permission to take the funds out of the Facility Fund to pay for the work.

The actual work will be overseen by the Bureau of Court Facilities The state prefers a design-build approach and Collins has noted in the past that the state is comfortable with Hebert who built the new state offi ce building in Berlin.

Mekeel could not be reached for comment for this article.

In other business:* Collins reported that the Bureau

of Court Facilities has approved an updated courthouse lease that refl ects the new sheriff offi ce space and the adjusted common area. Coos County Sheriff Gerald Marcou has moved

his offi ce to the former county attor-ney offi ce space. The lease will now go before the state Executive Council.

* U.S. Border Patrol Agent in Charge Paul Kuhn met with the com-mission to discuss operating proce-dures for detaining aliens at the Coos County jail in West Stewartstown. The county is negotiating a tempo-rary one year agreement with the U.S. Marshals Service to hold federal pris-oners at the county facility for short periods at a rate of $80 per day. Kuhn explained that he is only able to hold detainees at the border station for a maximum of 12 hours. He hopes to be able to take them to the Coos jail where they would stay for a short time before being moved to a federal facil-ity, most likely in Manchester. Kuhn said he does not envision the detain-ees would stay more than 24 hours in

most cases. They would be medically screened and the county would be provided with their criminal history. Strafford County will be transporting the detainees but Coos Sheriff Gerald Marcou said he is hoping his depart-ment will be able to take over that role in the future.

Grenier asked about the county’s exposure if the detainee fi les a law-suit. He said he wanted to know how the county would be protected in that event.

* The town of Colebrook has decided not to sign a contract with the county’s recycling center and recycling contain-ers were removed from the Colebrook transfer station on Sept. 30.

* Both Coos County Nursing Home facilities received Quality of Care defi -ciency-free surveys from the Center on Medicare and Medicaid.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The elements of your life support each other like spokes in a wheel. Your relation-ships help your professional picture, and your family helps your domestic scene, and it all rolls along. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You feel so perpetually in the moment that you really can’t help but attract new fans and followers -- or at the very least, big smiles from people who like you immensely. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may catch yourself saying, “Well, that’s just the way I am.” However, you should be warned not to defi ne yourself rashly. How you are currently is not how you will always be. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Unless you consciously take action to turn off your overworked mind, you will feel overwhelmed. You can quiet your mind by listening to music, exercising or doing nothing at all. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ever heard of a “mash note”? The word “mash” was 19th-century slang akin to “crush,” and the note in question is a romantic request of sorts. You will be receiving one shortly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are ahead of the game. That is not always the best position. People validate you when you are in the middle of the game because they don’t understand you when you’re ahead of it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You like to have a good time as much as the next guy, and yet fun and pleasure are not your primary interests. You will be far more intrigued by the prospect of a profi table venture. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Enjoy-

ing life to the fullest sometimes requires that you abandon your rational sense. It has served you well on many occa-sions, so you might hate to do that. However, intuition trumps ration every time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You won’t lose your cool. Of course, being the fi re sign that you are, you never had much cool to begin with. Enthusiasm, energy and the need to make things happen have made you quite hot, indeed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It may feel at times as though you were born into certain duties and obliga-tions. You realize that you have choices regarding these things, though you are heavily inclined to do the bidding of your loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have to do things your way.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Carmen” for a few years, but in the last year she has started becoming violent when we are having an argument. I think this is domestic abuse, but she claims it isn’t because I’m a man. I’m not someone who can take abuse without repercus-sions. I’m like a mirror. If someone brings violence into my life, I refl ect it back on them. So far, I have restrained my in-stincts -- but eventually I know Carmen will cross the line and I’m going to snap. I have the potential to hurt her badly. I have tried everything to make Carmen understand how I feel, but she continues to insist it doesn’t matter because I’m so much bigger and stronger than she is. When she hits me, it doesn’t hurt physically, but the anger I feel is indescribable. I’m at the end of my rope and considering breaking up with her before I hurt her. I don’t want to end the relationship, but I think it’s the only way to make her see things from my perspective. Or should I call the cops the next time she hits me? -- BRUISED AND ABUSED BOYFRIEND DEAR BRUISED AND ABUSED: You may not want to, but it’s time to end the relationship before something hap-pens you both regret. Your relationship with Carmen isn’t a healthy one. You will land in jail if you respond the way it appears she wants you to. Please think ahead -- if Carmen resorts to violence when she becomes upset with you, then she very likely will with any children you would have together. She may think her abusive behavior is normal because this was the environment in which she was raised. But we both know it’s not -- it’s a huge red fl ag. Run! DEAR ABBY: I have been a holistic health-care and heal-

ing practitioner for 10 years. I love my work and being in a helping profession. I’m the one who is always there for ev-eryone who needs help. A good portion of my work is as a counselor, teacher and shoulder to cry on. My problem? I’m lonely. I have multiple health issues and struggle with money. I need someone to talk with about me and how I’m feeling. Whenever I fi nd a counselor, member of the clergy, teacher, etc., I end up BEING the counselor, teach-er, listener, whatever. Living in a small town, it’s almost impossible to fi nd any-one who doesn’t know me or my family. I went to a minister and ended up taking him to an AA meeting. I went to a coun-selor at a nearby university; she began asking me for advice about her health. I’m hesitant to try to fi nd someone online. I’m not looking for a lover or an “adventure” -- just some-one to talk with. My batteries are constantly being drained and opportunities to recharge are few and far between. I’m not asking for much, just someone to be there for me the way I am for many others. I tried talking with my wife about this, but she’s so emo-tionally insecure that even thinking I want someone else to talk with upsets her. Please help me. -- LONELY IN A CROWD DEAR LONELY: It’s not uncommon for therapists to suffer the kind of burnout you have described. They often deal with it by trading services with another therapist because talking about feelings -- as you well know -- can often relieve them. What you should do is contact the association of holistic and/or integrative medical professionals in your state and inquire about this kind of opportunity for you.

AVH Auxiliary purchases more than $100,000 in equipment for patients

BERLIN -- The Androscoggin Valley Hospital Auxiliary has announced the recent purchase of a Quinton Q Stress Cardiac Stress System for the AVH Cardiology Department, located in the 2-North Area of the Hospital. The system was purchased with funds raised from this year’s AVH Auxiliary Golf Tournament at the Androscoggin Valley Coun-try Club in Gorham.

This purchase is just one of many over the last year that have directly benefi ted the AVH patient experience. Additional items provided by auxiliary-raised funds include:

New televisions for each in-patient room. These color TVs represent the latest in the industry and are now being enjoyed by patients and their visitors.

Cholesterol Analyzer for AVH Home Health and Hospice Services. Located at 3 Twelfth Street, AVH HH&H can provide accurate cholesterol readings at its offi ce and at community screenings, which are held often throughout the AVH primary service area.

White boards. These aesthetically-pleasing boards, featured in all in-patient rooms, help enhance com-munication between hospital staff, patients, and family members. Patients can easily indicate their level of discomfort, nurses and physicians can leave their names so that patients and family members are aware of which staff members are providing care at that time, and more.

Period of Purple Crying Video. This video is given to every new mother at the Valley Birthplace at AVH to take home with her. The video is a new way to help parents understand that time in their baby’s life, which is a normal part of every infant’s development. This period begins at approximately two weeks of age and concludes at approximately three to four months old. All babies go through this period, although some cry more, and some less than others.

AVH Auxiliary Rotating Art Program sign and lights. Both the sign and lights complement the already welcoming appearance of the hospital caf-eteria and its featured artwork.

Wheelchairs. New wheelchairs were purchased for both adults and children, to ensure availability and provide added patient comfort.

“The Androscoggin Valley Hospital Auxiliary is pleased to have been able to donate more than $100,000 in funds over the past year to support these important projects, all with the intent of enhancing patient comfort,” commented Linda Morris, AVH Auxiliary president. “Patient satisfaction is at the heart of the mission of all AVH employees and Aux-ilians. Our Auxiliary takes great pride in helping AVH Lead the Way to a Healthier Future.”

“We are indebted to the AVH auxilians who con-tinue to provide valuable resources to improve our patients’ stay,” said Clare Vallee, AVH vice-presi-dent of nursing services.

If you are interested in learning more about the AVH Auxiliary or becoming a member, please con-tact Linda at (603) 326-5678.

Beginning left to right, AVH Auxiliary member, Volunteer, Director of the AVH Auxiliary Rotating Art Program and Software Systems Educator Ron Fini; Linda Morris, AVH auxiliary president, volunteer and buyer/manager of the Sunny Corner Gift Shop at AVH; Clare Vallee, RN, MS, JD, CNAA-BC, vice-president of nursing services at AVH; Beth Isaacson, AVH auxiliary member and chairperson of the Annual AVH Auxiliary Golf Tournament.

He retired in 1981 with 42 years of service from James River Corp. in Berlin, where he had been employed as a pipefitter. In retirement, Leo enjoyed playing cards, bowling, shuffleboard and going to Bingo with his wife Irene. He was an accomplished wood-carver which he did until the time of his illness. He was a lifetime member of the VFW and Eagles Club.

Leo Savard––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OBITUARY –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

signed a purchase and sales agree-ment to purchase. Makaitis said the site could eventually create hun-dreds of jobs. He said Bob Chap-man of Chapman Container Trailer and Used Equipment Sales played a major role in making sure the mill buildings were not torn down.

The Balsams Grand Resort is a tough one, Makaitis said, because it needs a major investment of capital in the $20 million range. He said, however, he understands there are still bids for the property. He said the resort has to continue to exist.

Makaitis said the Granite Reliable Power wind farm has created a lot of construction jobs. While the wind farm will not hire a lot of people permanently, he said it will make a $500,000 annual payment in lieu of taxes.

While there has been little action lately on upgrading electric trans-mission line or so-called Coos Loop, Makaitis said it needs to happen if the region wants to continue to grow green energy jobs.

The Northern Pass project is unpopular in much of the county, but Makaitis spoke in favor of it. He said this country needs all the renew-able energy it can get. He said he believes the high voltage transmis-sion line from Quebec to southern New Hampshire can be constructed without hurting tourism.

Makaitis said he has formed a roundtable of representatives of all eight banks in the county to get

them talking about ways to work together to fi nance economic devel-opment projects. He said the effort is just getting started.

Among other projects, Makaitis said he is working or has worked on a combined heat and power plant at the city’s industrial park, a hotel on Route 110, reopen the Ice Gulch Restaurant, and construct a pellet plant somewhere in the county.

Makaitis said he is in favor of the state privatizing its prisons, a possi-bility the state is currently studying.

Other projects he is involved with include rehabilitating the former Notre Dame school, the Friend-ship House in Bethlehem, and the Brown Company Research Building. Makaitis said he also sits on a vari-ety of boards and committees.

In other business:* City Councilor Mark Evan con-

gratulated his fellow councilors who supported the Burgess Bio-Power plant. Evans said he went through periods of skepticism about the project and at times didn’t sup-port it.

“Thanks to the democratic pro-cess, I didn’t get my way,” he said.

* The Berlin Public Library Friday at 1 p.m. will dedicate Kelley Park. The land was donated by Barry and Mark Kelley and family in memory of their parents, Emmet and Evelyn Collins Kelley.

* Martha Creegan was appointed to fi ll a vacancy on the planning board. She has served as an alter-nate since March 2010.

Project is funded by a two-year, $66,000 grant from the Neil and Louise Tillotson Foundation.

Healey explained that a forum will be held on Oct. 27, bringing together superintendents from 12 SAUs in New Hampshire and four in Vermont — all served by NCES— as well as fi ve handpicked com-munity leaders. Participation from the school board presidents or chairpersons from each SAU is also being strongly encouraged Healey said.

The forum will be facilitated by Dr. Wayne Gersen, retired superintendent of SAU 70, which is espe-cially signifi cant since that SAU includes districts in Vermont and New Hampshire, Healey explained. Participating SAUs will include all of Coos County, portions of Grafton and Carrol Counties, as well as the northeastern-most corner of Vermont and a sec-tion of the Green Mountain State stretching from Thetford to Ryegate along the NH border and west to Corinth.

He acknowledged that including that broad expanse of communities topography and geography would be the “elephant in the room,” but said there were advantages and disadvantages according to scale. Healey explained that while dealing with that entire map may be ungainly, one of the goals of the forum will be to create clusters or groups of school districts that can collaborate on smaller scales, while the entire consortium could look at areas where large-scale collaboration would make sense. To that end, he said, there was strength in numbers. “Unifi -cation often times begets innovation,” Healey said.

Prompting the need for something like this was the economic downturn, increased heating and insurance costs, and decreased state and federal revenue. All these factors were magnifi ed by declin-ing enrollment, Healey pointed out. “We think that a viable option to address the pressing needs of school districts is collaboration,” he said. The purpose is to allow districts pursue retaining high quality

services and reducing costs, while moving the dis-tricts from a “somewhat parochial view to a more global view that engages in teaming and partnering between districts,” Healey explained.

He pointed to Michigan and Ohio, where bulk pur-chasing of books, fuel, and technology has become commonplace. He added that cost savings could be available in the transportation, health insurance and staffi ng — administrators, AP teachers, legal services — sections of the budget through collabora-tions as well.

He was quick to point out however, that this forum is part of the process to a solution not the solution itself. “We create an opportunity. We can’t guarantee outcome. If the spark doesn’t come from within it doesn’t take ignition,” Healey told the board.

At the Oct. 27 forum, he said, the plan is for the leaders to identify and share practices, concerns, issues and needs while engaging in refl ective dia-logue. Their ability and willingness to solve prob-lems collaboratively will be key, he said. NCES will sponsor a working breakfast in the spring for the the individual clusters — devised at the forum — to strengthen these new alliances.

To sustain any progress made at this forum will take a local effort. That’s where the second year of the grant comes in, Healey said. In order to trans-fer momentum from the group at large to the local level, the forums will move to the local communities with new participants. Healey said superintendents will be charged with identifying an individual to be trained as a local facilitator. Gersen will train the facilitators. That person will then run forums at the community level with participants including teach-ers, parents, principals and community members.

Superintendet Paul Bousquet and Patricia Shute will attend the Oct. 27, forum on behalf of SAU 20. Among the local community leaders selected to attend are WMCC President Kathy Eneguess and AVH Vice President Jim Wheeler.
