A host of children in Halloween costumes (above r) marched in the Halloween costume parade at RiverFire Saturday, some with parents in costume, too. They marched around the amphitheatre at the Northern Forest Heritage Park and on down Main Street to the pedestrian bridge so that everyone could admire their many and varied outfits. Guess who this is? Sylvia Poulin (above l)was completely in the spirit of RiverFire this year in her scary witch’s outfit ... scary but, of course, fashionable! Twenty-three bonfires blazed from the boom piers for RiverFire 2011 Saturday night, offering the spectators a longer than usual spectacle, perhaps because the damp weather kept the brilliant fires burning a little longer over the dark waters of the Androscoggin River.

RiverFire 2011 draws a crowd of 5,000

BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN—RiverFire 2011 was a big party.

An estimated 5,000 attended, taking in all the offerings with great good humor and excitement—1,000 of those bought tickets for Theatre North’s HorrorFest, some returning for a second 20-minute adventure past the zombies, ghouls, ghosts, vampires and evil-doers in their haunts.

The Northern Forest Heritage Park amphitheatre was crowded with a vast variety of food concessions that filled the air with the delicious smells of barbecue, chili, pulled pork, wood-fired pizza, sausage

sandwiches and more.

The Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce was selling devil’s horns, weird glasses, and sparkling hair pieces, all of which blinked on and off and soon spread throughout the crowd, flashing in the dusk and after dark from the pedestrian bridge to the amphitheatre itself and even out on the water as some fire lighters’ pretend glasses shimmered in the night.

Along the pedestrian bridge, the candles inside jack o’lanterns, set on shelving installed for the purpose, were kept lit by Karen Supry and Louise Belanger, of the Harvest Christian Fellowship, who

had offered to help the RiverFire committee. The Chamber had offered some 400 pumpkins for free to anyone who wanted to make a jack o’lantern and show it on the pedestrian bridge. Every single pumpkin was given out, said Paula Kinney, of the Chamber. The result was some wonderful pumpkin art work, seen by crowds who lined up politely to walk the span over the Androscoggin to admire the jack o’lanterns after dark, as Supry and Belanger did their best to keep the candles going inside the pumpkins.

The bouncy house village was busy from the open-

Screen time higher than ever for children (NY Times) — Jaden Lender, 3, sings along softly with the “Five Little Monkeys” app on the family iPad, and waggles his index finger along with the monkey doctor at the warning, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”

He likes crushing the ants in “Ant Smasher,” and improving his swing in the golf app. But he is no app addict: when the one featuring Grover from Sesame Street does not work right, Jaden says, “Come on, iPad!’” — then wanders happily off to play with his train set.

Despite the American Academy of Pediatrics’ longstanding recommendations to the contrary, children under 8 are spending more time than ever in front of screens, according to a study scheduled for release Tuesday.

The report also documents for the first time an emerging “app gap” in which affluent children are likely to use mobile educational games while those in low-income families are the most likely to have televisions in their bedrooms.

The study, by Common Sense Media, a San Francisco nonprofit group, is the first of its kind since apps became widespread, and the first to look at screen time from birth.

Bigger losses sought from banks as part of Euro deal

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

BRUSSELS (NY Times) — European officials scrambled Tuesday for a way to entice banks to accept much deeper losses on their Greek bonds as debt crisis talks went down to the wire, prompting the cancellation of one ministerial meeting scheduled ahead of Wednesday’s crucial gathering

of European leaders.

With less than 24 hours before the summit meeting of government chiefs in Brussels, banking representatives and European officials were locked in negotiation over what losses banks should accept.

The banks have taken a hard line and warned that the write-

off of debts they are being asked to accept — of about 55 percent — could result in a default or similar shock to the financial system, something European officials are desperate to avert. That has prompted a search for so-called complementary measures which might help to sweeten the deal for the bankers.

Qaddafi, son, former defense aide buried in secret place

MISURATA, Libya (NY Times) — After four days of public viewing of the slowly decomposing corpses of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, one of his sons and his former defense minister in a Misurata meat locker, the military council in this city said on Tuesday that the three were buried in a predawn funeral at a secret location.

Ibrahim Beitalmal, a senior official on the council, said 18 relatives of Colonel Qaddafi, his son

Muatassim, and the defense minister, Abu Bakr Younes, were permitted to attend the funeral, including a nephew of Colonel Qaddafi, Mahmoud Hamid. Cellphone photos of the ceremony showed three bodies shortly before the burial, wrapped in white shrouds, in coffins of thin wood.

Beitalmal declined to specify where they had been interred or how the location would be kept secret.

DENVER (NY Times) — The pattern is clear in the oil and gas business: drilling fields are going into new places. Few areas are facing the prospect of drilling’s new frontier more vividly than eastern Colorado, where 80 percent of this state’s population of five million people cluster in a line of cities and suburbs stretching out from Denver, Colorado’s capital and largest city.

A 90 million-year-old oil bed called the Niobrara — estimated to contain two billion barrels, locked in shale that in past drilling eras was considered too costly to extract — laces down from southeast Wyoming and Nebraska.

Drilling permits in suburbs, parks and even in lakes have made the local news. Using hydrofracturing technologies and horizontal, spiderlike tentacle borers that can spin out beneath communities, the stillemerging boom is bringing energy exploration to some of the fastestgrowing counties in the nation, and to places with no experience whatsoever in dealing with it.

Even before dark on Saturday, strange beings began to appear at the 2011 RiverFire celebration at the Northern Forest Heritage Park. l to r: Katie Williams, of Berlin, and Hillary Fauteux, of Milan, were introducing the crowds to what was to come when the gates to HorrorFest opened after 6 p.m. Horror Fest was a huge success, with long lines of people waiting for their turn at the Horror tour and many buying tickets for a second exciting tour.

The Ray family of Berlin all did their bit to decorate pumpkins to be displayed on the pedestrian bridge during the 2011 RiverFire Saturday. Showing off the two Ray-carved jackolanterns still not in place up on the shelving are l to r: Mom Amanda; Brady, 1; Kaiden, 6; Waide, 4; Justin, 9; and Ethan, 8.

The Count, aka Jonathan Dubey, couldn’t scare Courtney McKenzie, 11, of Berlin, who was waiting in the long line to get in to HorrorFest at the 2011 RiverFire celebration Saturday at the Northern Forest Heritage Park, but The Count was ok with that. The Count dashed here and there among the people, keeping them amused (or scared) as they waited.

The Godfather

There was one thing real back in 1972. It was a movie. The Godfather. Lala and I got to watch it again on Sunday. It was even better then the way we remembered it from then. Marlon Brando, as the Godfather was superb. It was easy to see why he had won an Oscar for his work in the role. It is hard to remember his refusal to accept the Oscar, or, even why he didn’t show up at the awards ceremony. His work still lives on as finely crafted and as true as when he performed it in 1972.

The actor I most admired then and now was Al Pacino playing the Godfather’s youngest son, Michael Coreleone, He was a very young man in 1972 in a role which brought him to the forefront of his acting career. It would have been easy to misplay the part and, instead of launching a long and successful career, failing to meet the challenge.

Instead, Pacino played Michael flawlessly and believably. During the nearly three hour movie, we watched a young and tentative college student grow and change into the man who was to become the new and quietly menacing Godfather. There is no sign in the playing of Michael that Pacino ever faltered, although he probably did.

He was truly just a kid as the movie opened with the wedding of his sister. He is chatting with his girlfriend, Kay, played

by Diane Keating. There is no clue as to his metamorphoses into the Michael who will grow into the one who will be feared and who will rule. That will come gradually as the movie unfolds. Both the director, Francis

Ford Coppola, and the writer, Mario Puzo, are careful to let only a tiny bit of who Michael will become show so early in the script, But as the movie develops, you come to sense the force in Michael that will culminate in his emergence as a new and menacing Michael who will have his way.

But as Michael developer, there are many events and characters that emerged to play a role. There is the older Coreleone son, Sonny, played by James Caan, who takes over as head of the family after the Don is severely injured in an attack by his enemies, another crime family. Sonny is loud and brash. He believes in taking direct action against the family’s enemies. His lead in the family is questioned by one Tom Hagen. Played by actor Robert Duvall, who, as an adopted family member and practicing lawyer, tries to steer the family away from violently responding to the Don’s injury.

By now Michael is home from college and trying to help the family recoup its losses. He is emerging as a leader and hatches a plan to kill two of the principal enemies of the family. He completes the task and is sent off too Sicily to cool off while the furor subsides.

Then Sonny is killed in a scene which burns into the mind for its ferocity and horror.

Michael comes home and assumes leadership.

The film moves toward and almost inevitable closing in which old scores are settled and Michael takes his place as Godfather and head of the crime family’s business..

It leaves us eager to see Godfather II!!

Plans to repair riverbank taking shape

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM — More than a dozen local residents turned out Monday night to hear engineering plans and time lines for riverbank repairs in response to damage from Gorham’s run-in with Tropical Storm Irene in August.

Town Manager Robin Frost announced that a meeting with FEMA representatives was scheduled to take place on Oct. 25, and would provide information on which of the three main projects the town was set to tackle would be funded, at the regular meeting of the Gorham Selectmen on Monday. Frost said that it was anticipated that all three — riverbank repairs to the Peabody River along Libby field, and at two locations near White Birch lane would likely be FEMA approved projects at a 75/25 federal to local funding ratio.

So far, the engineering firm of HE Bergeron has been contracted to oversee all three projects, but the preliminary work for a stabilization of 200-feet of river near the entrance of White Birch Lane has been looked at for USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) funding as an urgent and compelling project. The catch to that, said NRCS spokesman Ed Hansalik, is that NRCS funding is usable only as a last resort. Therefore, if FEMA approved the project for their funding it would be completed through that agency and not NRCS, he said. Hansalik also noted that should NRCS be involved in the project, funding is hard to come by, since the agency gets its money through special Congressional appro-

priations. He also said that due to the vertical nature of the bank, a Gabion basket wall that did not impinge on flow but would preserve the bank would likely be the best fix for the area of the riverbank in question. Gabion baskets are wire cages fill with stone that can be stacked to create retaining walls.

Jay Poulin of HE Bergeron Engineering also spoke about planned projects to stabilize the riverbanks, particularly at the end of White Birch Lane, where the river jumped its bank and tore away a size-able section of roadway — roughly 1200 feet, and near Libby Field, where significant erosion also took place during the storm. “The river told us where it wants to go,” Poulin said, leaving them to come up with a “pretty aggressive” plan to keep it in its banks.

He noted that as a result of the damage from Irene, a storm two weeks ago that dumped two inches of rain caused the river to fill up the washed out road again. This will continue to be a problem until the bank is repaired, he said.

Poulin laid out an aggressive schedule for the work. He handed out time lines that have the construction of a 400-foot long berm, erected two-feet higher than the previous berm, which was constructed in 2001 to 100-year flood level, completed by the first week of January. The new berm, he said will be at the 500-year flood level. The new barrier, will be “keyed in to the river bottom”, Poulin explained.

He also addressed the 350-foot bank stabilization at Libby Field, explaining that construction there would included a system of weirs or see RIVERBANK page 6

At the same time, the fire lighters were gathering at the NFHP dock: City Manager Pat McQueen; his visiting sister, Maryanne; Dick and Joan Merrill; Butch Munce; and Brian Valerino. Munce was the fire lighter from one boat, while Valerino drove. The McQueens teamed to light fires from the other boat, while Dick drove and Joan manned a flashlight so he could see on the approaches to the boom piers.

The goal always is to light the fires quickly so that the flames along the Androscoggin will be almost simultaneous. The damp weather helped this year, with the flames slowed by the wet wood so that more could be burning simultaneously.

“Thank you,” called spectators from the banks of the river; “Thank you,” they called as the boats headed back to NFHP after all the boom piers were blazing.

Back at NFHP and along the river walk to the pedestrian bridge, the party went on and on, well into the dark night.

Public will vote this January on Guns and Hoses game to benefit Child Advocacy Center eliminating the city’s four wards

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — It’s been three years since they last met, but next Saturday night firefighters and law enforcement will take to the ice at Notre Dame in a battle for bragging rights. The face-off will be at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5.

The Guns and Hoses hockey game will not only entertain, but also raises money for a local charity. This year’s organization is the Child Advocacy Center (CAC) of Coos County, a nonprofit that provides a child friendly location and service coordination for child victims of abuse. All of the proceeds from the event will go to the CAC, said Berlin Police Corporal Cory Riendeau who is coordinating the event. They participants specifically choose a local group to benefit from this event. “No big organizations — something for Coos County,” Riendeau said.

The players, all of whom are local law enforcement or members of Berlin Fire Department, pay $10 each to participate, Riendeau explained. There is no admission fee, but donations are accepted at the door. Raffles will also be offered inside.

The game is meant to be lighthearted and friendly, Riendeau said, with bragging rights and a trophy on the line. “We want people to come out RIVERBANK from page 4

“deflectors” that would extend into the channel to create eddys. Those would create flow that encourages sediment deposits that would help move the water back toward the center of the channel over time. The design of the berm upstream would encourage that same flow also, Poulin explained.

While the engineer gave the outline of the planned repairs, he added that these were not ideal fixes for the river. “The real solution to this problem with the Peabody is it needs to find more floodplain,” Poulin said. To that end, he explained conversations

and have a good time,” he said.

Of course, Riendeau pointed out, that trophy currently sits at Berlin Police Department, after the boys in blue claimed it in the last contest. The Guns and Hoses game is held every two to three years and the last contest raised more than $3,000 for the local chapter of the Make A Wish Foundation, Riendeau said.

Team rosters for the police and fire include: Guns BPD Peter Morency — C; BPD Corey Riendeau; BPD Josh White; BPD Wade Goulet; NHSP Steve Riendeau; NHSP Jay Stephens; BPD Holly Dube; GPD PJ Cyr (in goal); GPD Eric Benjamin; RPD Kevin Rousseau; DOC Chris Hamel; BPD Dan Arguin; CCSD Keith “Lefty” Enman; BPD Dan Buteau.

Poulin said that DES permits for the White Birch berm and Libby weir projects were submitted on Monday and he expects a 7-10 day turnaround. He recommended the town send the two projects out to bid separately to offer more flexibility and choice in containing costs and completing them both before a January or spring thaw threatens property along the same banks.

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- Residents will vote this January on whether they want to do away with the city’s four wards and elect the eight city councilors at large.

The city council Monday night voted unanimously to put a referendum to amend the city charter to do away with the wards on the ballot for the upcoming presidential primary. The New Hampshire primary tentatively set for Jan. 10 About a dozen people turned out Monday night for the public hearing on the proposed resolution.

Opening the hearing, Mayor Paul Grenier said the redistricting process had been painful and difficult for the council. He said the city was required to use U.S. Census blocks in developing new ward boundaries instead of city streets. He said that requirement interfered with the orderly development of voting districts. He asked City Planner Pamela Laflamme to review the options considered by the council.

Laflamme explained in detail how the state prison, which opened in the spring of 2000, inflated the population of Ward III in the 2010 Census. As a result, she was faced with redrawing the ward boundaries so the population of the wards are equal. U.S. Census standards require no more than a five percent deviation among wards.

After going through several options that the council rejected because it felt the new boundaries split up neighborhoods, Laflamme said the council looked at reducing the number of wards to two. But members of the council felt that also split up traditional neighborhoods.

Finally, the council decided the best solution would be to do away with wards and elect the council at large.

A major factor driving the council’s decision is the fact the entire exercise would have to be repeated in ten years when the next census picks up the federal prison.

The mayor and school board members are already elected at large.

One member of the audience asked who was forcing the city to redistrict. Grenier responded that the city is required to look at its wards after every census. The city was not required to adjust the wards after the 2000 Census because their populations were within the five percent population deviation.

He said the city is not the only body going through the process of redistricting because of the 2012 U.S. Census. He said both the state legislative and U.S. Congress are in the process of redrawing legislative districts.

State Representative Robert Theberge (D-Berlin) said he supports the proposed charter amendment and thanked the council for its diligent work on the issue. Noting he served a stint as city manager, Theberge recalled how sometimes it is hard to find candidates to run for council.

He said he thought allowing council candidates to run at large would help increase the number of available candidates.

Theberge cautioned that one major concern he has heard is where people will vote if the city does away with wards. He urged the council to find a centralized location.

Councilor Lucie Remillard said the city can always go back to having council wards if the city’s population grows in the future. She said the federal prison jobs may boost the city’s population.

Councilor Mike Rozek asked Grenier to explain why the city didn’t opt to segregate the prison. The mayor said while inmates serving time for felonies can’t vote, they have to be counted as part of the city’s population. He said there are advantages to counting inmates as part of the city’s population. For example, he said it increases Berlin’s population and helps maintain state representatives. He said some federal grants and funds are allocated on the basis of population.

VOTE from page 6

ward has to have the same population and the city was unable to create a fifth ward just for the prison.

City Clerk Debra Patrick said the proposed charter amendment will now go to the N.H. Secretary of State’s office and the state Attorney General for review. She said the two agencies have 30 days to consider the amendment.

Grenier said if the public rejects the charter amendment in January, the city will have to come up with another proposal and go through the expense of holding a special election. The city is required to complete redistricting for the 2012 state elections.

The mayor said he thinks it is time for a charter revision commission to review the entire charter.

He noted it has been over 25 years since there have been any changes in the charter. The last charter commission, in 1994, presented its recommendations in one amendment which voters rejected. He said a commission could look at voting districts and the size of council.

The debate over redistricting will not effect the upcoming Nov. 8 municipal election. Council candidates will still run by ward and voting will take place in the four wards at the traditional polling locations. If the amendment passes, the new system would take effect for the September 2012 state primary.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re in maximum productivity mode. You embrace the very same kind of hard work you would have avoided in the past. You’ll expend every last bit of energy you have and hit the pillow tonight knowing you gave it your all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Take life at an even pace. Beware of anyone who seems to want to be your new best friend. Relationships that are built slowly are more likely to feed your soul over the long haul.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Some people see their dreams as elusive and unattainable. You realize that such a viewpoint is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Every time you aim for a goal that is actually possible, you expand your realm of possibility.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t expect that all people will do what they say they will do. You’ve been disappointed before, and you sometimes hedge your bets. You’ll be delighted by the even-tempered, trustworthy folks you come across today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Whether it is money or attention, it’s really better to receive at a steadily growing rate. If given too much too soon, you can’t enjoy the abundance because you don’t know how to process it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 26).

Even if you didn’t think you would be where you are at this time, rest assured your life is unfolding right on schedule. Many instances of serendipitous good fortune will prove that to you this year. Someone you meet in November becomes a partner of sorts. Investments pay in January and July. Virgo and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 28, 16 and 4.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A situation arises that may catch you off guard at first. You consciously regard the situation as a test. This will ultimately open new doors. Your concentration and dedication maximize the element of luck.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a skill you want to obtain and a formal bit of learning that goes along with this.

Don’t allow yourself to be deterred by external pressures. Following through to completion will do wonders for your self-image.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your life is different since you met a certain person. Maybe the change is very subtle, and yet it is undeniable. For better or worse, you appreciate the influence. It made you elevate your game.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People tell you the strangest things. This is no time to take them literally. That will only lead to confusion. Instead, think about what people mean. Why are they communicating in the first place? What is the motive?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You haven’t been celebrating life to the hilt. It’s the little details that turn an ordinary scene into a party. If you haven’t already, this is the perfect day to go looking for the mother of all pumpkins.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Thanks to a little bit of planning and a lot of thinking about the future, your present is getting more interesting. Just look at the tasks that fill your day. Years ago, you dreamed of having such a task list.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Someone will tell you that you’re different from the others. You don’t feel any different, but how would you know? There really is something unique inside you that needs to be expressed.

Page 14 — THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 26, 2011

by Abigail Van Buren

GRANDDAUGHTER IS TOO YOUNG TO WITHSTAND HARSH CRITICISM

DEAR ABBY: My mother watches my two children before and after school and during the breaks. She is a caring person, but she is also very critical of my daughter. (She’s fine with my son.) Mom constantly tells my daughter she needs to lose weight or exercise more, or her hair looks stringy, or she isn’t dressed properly. My daughter is only 9.

My mother did this to me when I was younger, and it made me feel I could never live up to her standards. How should I approach her about this? I don’t want my daughter to feel inadequate. She’s a beautiful, intelligent little girl. -FRUSTRATED IN MISSOURI DEAR FRUSTRATED: Deal with this firmly, before your mother erodes your daughter’s self-esteem as she did yours.

Tell her how her constant criticism made you feel, that you don’t want the same thing to happen to your little girl, and that anytime she’s tempted to make a negative comment, she should substitute a POSITIVE one instead. Be direct with her, and if she isn’t able to comply, make other arrangements for your daughter.

DEAR ABBY: My siblings have noticed my distant, odd behavior toward one of my brothers. This sibling and I have a history of incest. He raped me repeatedly for years, and I want nothing to do with him. When the family gathers, one or the other of us declines the invitation if the other one is going to be present. I have told one sibling, “We just don’t get along -- old stuff, ya’ know!” and left it at that. I want to keep the reason to myself. I feel I may be pushed for a better answer.

Shouldn’t “old stuff” be enough of a reason? Should I tell or

not? -- SHOULD I OR SHOULDN’T I? DEAR SHOULD I?: A person who repeatedly rapes someone “for years” is a predator. This wasn’t two kids “experimenting”; it was sexual assault. How do you know he didn’t prey on other siblings or cousins? You should have sought counseling about this years ago, and it’s still not too late.

Once you do, I’m sure you’ll find the strength to stand up for yourself and speak out.

DEAR ABBY: Seven years ago, when I was 25, I quit a good job before I had a new one. Hard times ultimately led to my husband and me divorcing. I went back to school and am now starting a new career. But I can’t help but feel that if I had not quit my job years back, I’d be established in a career by now and still be married.

I never listened to anyone back then, although I was polite and quiet. I have grown from the experience, but my heart aches for what I lost. I don’t drink or do drugs, so there is no numbing this pain. How do I get over my regrets and heal?

-- LOOKING BACK IN ILLINOIS DEAR LOOKING BACK: You can’t change the past. You can only concentrate on and build a future. Do that by making a conscious effort to STAY IN THE PRESENT. When you feel yourself slipping backward and reliving the pain, pull yourself into the here and now. Then thank your higher power for your health, your job, and the chance to rebuild your emotional and financial future. Regret is the cancer of life. Dwell on it, and it will keep you from progressing.

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

The importance of a good night’s sleep We’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 first. 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 mattresses to choose from. A little homework 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 constructed of highdensity 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 firmness when- ever you like— a great feature for the comfort-challenged among us.

Water mattresses come in several varieties but are all designed to conform 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 Gallery Mats come in a wide range of colors, styles and surfaces. While most applications are fine with paper surfaces. There are times when something more dramatic is desired a fine oriental painting may call for a silk mat, a sailing 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 framing first, simplify! Frames should pleasingly set off your art or treasured 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.

Arthur Muise

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OBITUARIES –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

PITTSBURG – Arthur Muise, 84, died Saturday morning, October 22, 2011, at the Country Village Genesis Eldercare Center, Lancaster, after a battle with cancer.

He was born December 26, 1926, in Berlin, NH, the son of the late Henry and Flora Muise.

He was raised in Errol and attended Berlin High School. During his junior year, at the height of World War II, he enlisted in the US Navy and was on the first ship to enter the harbor of Hiroshima after release of the atomic bomb. Following his tour of duty, he returned to graduate from Berlin High School and remained in the Naval Reserves.

After graduation, he began working for the N.H. Fish Game as a fish culturist, a deputy conservation officer, and eventually a conservation officer. Shortly thereafter, he was called back to duty for two years during the Korean War. Upon his return from this second tour of duty, he was assigned a patrol area in Groveton, where he moved with his family. He remained in the area for 25 years and was eventually named district chief for Coos County.

He was well-known and like throughout the North Country, considered a fair and kind officer of the law. Upon his retirement from Fish & Game, through an act of the NH State Legislature, a previously unnamed peak in the Great North Woods was named Muise Mountain in his honor.

After retiring in 1975, he became a deputy sheriff for two years. He was also employed for 15 years at Roberts Motor Sales in Lancaster. He and his wife Joanne enjoyed their retirement home on Back Lake in Pittsburg and he remained a mentor to young con-

servation officers until his death.

He was predeceased by his brother Raymond and his first wife, Patricia Moreau Muise.

He is survived by his wife, Joanne Roberts Landroche Muise; his son, Donald Muise of Flagstaff, AZ, and his wife Renee; his d a u g h ters, Linda Muise of D o v e r, C a t h y Byham of Wi l l i a m s port, Penn., and her husband Rob; his stepchildren, Jeff Landroche of RolArthur Muise linsford, NH, Janine Elliott of Lancaster, Jon Landroche of Lancaster; 10 beloved grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren. He is also survived by his “surrogate sons” – nephews David, John, Robert and Gary Muise – as well as several other nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws.

At his request, there will be no calling hours. A memorial service will be held Thursday afternoon, October 27, at 1 p.m., at the Lancaster Congregational United Church of Christ.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donation may be made to a charity of one’s choice.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Bailey Funeral Home, Lancaster. Please go to www.baileyfh.net for more information or to send an online condolence.
