Redistricting plans draw heated response at meeting BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- Redistricting city ward lines to conform to the new U.S. Census data provoked a heated reaction from Ward III Councilor Michael Rozek at Monday’s city council meeting. Rozek at one point walked out of the council work session to calm down after discovering the proposed new ward lines developed by City Planner Pamela Laflamme would move the northwestern section of Ward III to Ward I. Rozek’s home on Howard Street would be included in the section moved from Ward III to Ward I. Laflamme and City Clerk Debra Patrick explained

that the city’s population decreased by 280 from the 2000 Census. But Ward III’s population increased by about 750 people because of the state prison population. Patrick said redistricting is based strictly on population, not on the number of eligible or registered voters. Currently, Ward I has 2,238 people, Ward II has 2,335, Ward III has 3,193, and Ward IV has 2,285. Ideally, each ward should have a population of 2,513. Patrick said the wards must be within five percent of that median number. To equalize the population of the four wards, Laflamme said each of the other three wards must pick up a section of Ward III. Making the task difficult, she said the city is required to realign the

wards using blocks of buildings as defined by the census. Laflamme said the city is not allowed to create islands within wards. The city planner said she spent two weeks developing the new ward boundaries and worked strictly by the census criteria. She said she was not aware until Rozek pointed it out at the meeting that his home had been moved to a different ward. Mayor Paul Grenier noted the council is not allowed to change ward boundaries “willy nilly”. He said the changes have to be tied to the census data to avoid gerrymandering. Patrick said the council must approve putting the see HEATED page 8

RANDOLPH—The Randolph Forest Commission has established a number of permanent transects on the Randolph Community Forest with the goal of monitoring water quality and trends in the populations of plants, plant communities, birds and wildlife. The transects are marked routes through the forest in various areas. Now the Commission hopes to find students, private organizations, local clubs or groups who would like to traverse one of the fixed routes at periodic intervals, studying and making note of these populations and/or water quality. The thought is that these transects would be perfect for a consistent research project or setting for educational projects for students. As the Commission’s brochure on the subject points out, the value of see STUDENTS page 6

Badillo pleads not guilty to assault and burglary charges, held unable to post bail BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LANCASTER — Christhian Badillo remains behind bars after pleading not guilty to felony assault and burglary charges. Badillo’s attorney Joseph Garrison entered the not guilty plea at a July 29 arraignment in Coos Superior Court, follow-

ing the felony indictment on the charges earlier that month. Badillo, 29, of Berlin, who faces the burglary and assault charges as the result of a May 28 home invasion in the city, had been found not competent to stand trial earlier this year in an unrelated case, where he was accused of taking part in an armed

‘Hand heart’ gains popularity (NY Times) — Hand gestures can be vulgar, but recently a demure, loving one has risen to popularity. To make it, curl the index fingers on both hands with the thumbs pointing down and join them to make a heart shape. Two people can make it together: a human version of those best-friends-forever lockets that break apart to be shared. The “hand heart,” as it is known, has been flashed by young stars galore, including Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Victoria Justice, Blake Lively, Jordin Sparks and an “American Idol” contestant vying for votes. Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Steven Tyler, Jennie Garth, Wynonna Judd, Channing Tatum, Usher, Kylie Minogue and Janet Jackson have all been photographed making the gesture. Advertisers have taken note: it has appeared in campaigns for LensCrafters and the clothing line Miss Me. A hand heart with the top fingers splayed apart like wings, however, was removed from a Virginia tourism ad after revelations that it was a symbol of the Gangster Disciples. An intact hand heart is displayed during the credits of the reality show “Ice Loves Coco” and described (“you held you hands up / and they formed a heart in the air”) in a song, “I Corinthians 13:8-10,” by the indie rock band the Mountain Goats.

Tabloid editors endorsed hacking, letter says LONDON (NY Times) — A high-profile parliamentary panel investigating phone hacking at Rupert Murdoch’s now-defunct News of the World tabloid released embarrassing new evidence Tuesday that the practice of intercepting voice mail had been widely discussed at the newspaper, contradicting assertions by its owners and editors. In light of the new evidence, the panel also announced that it was summoning at

least four former News of the World figures for questioning at a hearing next month and could possibly ask Mr. Murdoch’s son James, the head of the Murdoch conglomerate’s European operations, back for more testimony as well. Both father and son testified at a dramatic televised hearing last month. The disclosures threatened to push the scandal back to the forefront of public concern, raising worrying questions for Mr.

Murdoch and for the British prime minister, David Cameron, who hired Andy Coulson, a former News of the World editor, as his director of communications and has been taunted by the opposition for poor judgment in doing so. Tom Watson, a Labour lawmaker and member of the panel, also said Mr. Coulson may be among those summoned to give further evidence.

In May, Mr. Loughner was found mentally incompetent to stand trial on charges that he murdered six people and tried to kill 13 others at a constituent event for Representative Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head. A Federal District Court judge, Larry A. Burns, scheduled a hearing for Sept. 21 to determine whether Mr. Loughner, who is being held at a federal psychiatric facility in Springfield, Mo., has improved enough by then to understand the 49 federal charges against him and assist in his defense.

BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — United Nations officials said Tuesday that as many as 10,000 residents of a Palestinian refugee neighborhood in the Syrian port city of Latakia had fled during a four-day assault, as security forces carried out more arrests and intimidation in what residents said was a government attempt to rebuild a wall of fear in one of Syria’s largest cities. Latakia, on the country’s Mediterranean coast, is the third locale to bear the full brunt of military and security forces this month, though the government has also persisted in its crackdown on the suburbs of Damascus and Homs, the third-largest city. The violence this month has provoked international condemnations that have grown sharper, but still stopped short of demanding President Bashar al-Assad step down. On Tuesday in Washington, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said it was more effective to forge international consensus against Mr. Assad — as well as intensify economic pressure through sanctions — than for the United States alone to lead the way.

Curling to make its Conway debut at Curl-a-Palooza Aug. 20 BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

“Curling up to curling.” It has a nice rink to it, doesn’t it? Members of the newly-formed Mount Washington Valley Curling Club are doing just that, as they prepare for the region’s first-ever “Curl-a-Palooza” scheduled for the glistening ice sheet at the Ham Ice Arena on West Main Street in Conway from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20. In case you missed the last two Olympics, when it was one of the most closely watched of all televised sports, curling is a sport in which players slide stones across a sheet of ice toward a target area. It is related to bowls, boule and shuffleboard. During a practice session at the Ham this week, club board president Pat Kittle of Minuteman Press and accomplished curler Pete Ellis, formerly of Cape Cod and now of Madison, took to the ice sheet with the press while outlining their goals for the Curl-a-Palooza. “This is our inaugural public event. It’s intended to raise awareness in Conway and the surrounding communities that the sport of curling is being launched here in the White Mountains and to get people to sign up for league play, which begins in October,” said Kittle, a longtime Ham Arena board member who is new to the sport. He is nonetheless eager to see it blossom here in the valley, as well as perhaps in nearby Berlin, Wolfeboro and Bridgton — all towns with arenas which may help to foment participation in the Ham’s program. For the Curl-a-Palooza, Kittle said a group from the Nashua Curling Club will be putting on a demonstration match, with explanations of the rules and strategy provided by knowledgeable participants. “Almost There Sports Tavern has graciously volunteered to provide refreshments [for the event], and we will have a number of door prizes and a raffle, with three lucky winners invited to throw a curling stone to determine the grand prize winner. There is no cost to the public to attend Curl-a-Palooza,” said Kittle, who says that the club has had approximately 120 people express interest in curling locally via e-mail “with very little promotion to date. “We would ideally like to get exposure in the outlying communities as well, as other clubs have told us they have members traveling from as far away as an hour to curl,” said Kittle. Another 200 have become friends on the club’s Facebook page. The club will run its new curling league from mid-October through April on Saturday nights. In addition to the Curl-a-Palooza on Aug. 20, other upcoming important dates are: • Sept. 10 and 17: Learn-to-Curl nights: A short classroom lesson on the rules of the sport, this session will include on-ice instructions and practice. • Oct. 15: Opening night for the 201112 curling season. Cost for memberships vary: a full membership is $120 for people who want to curl weekly. A trial membership is $60, which entitles a player to curl

Pete Ellis of Madison has been an avid curler for many years, competing on Cape Cod before moving to Mount Washington Valley a few years ago. He says curling involves sportsmanship, skill and camaraderie. Spectators may learn more about the sport by calling the Ham Arena at 447-5886 or going onto the MW Curling Club’s Facebook page.

the first half of the season to see if they like it. A third option is a social membership, which costs $75 and allows a player to take to the sheet two times a month. A $15 fee is charged each week for ice time. At the Curl-a-Palooza Aug. 20, in between the demonstrations by the Nashua clubs, a raffle drawing will be held in which the names of three spectators will be drawn — those winners will get the chance to take to the ice and try their luck at curling that night. The person whose stone lands closest to the target — the “button” in the middle of the circle, or “house” — will get a free club membership, says Kittle. A slight fee will be charged for the Learn-to-Curl nights in September. For updates, call the Ham Ice Arena at 4475886 or go to the MWV Curling Club on Facebook. For more on the league, join the Mount Washington Valley Curling Club Facebook page. For information on the Ham, visit www.hamarena.com. ••• Ellis and Kittle note that curling is a sport that appeals to all ages. “It’s very popular in Canada — and on Cape Cod where I lived before moving here,” said Ellis, who sits on the newly formed local curling club’s board of directors and who with his wife Paula has competed in leagues on the Cape. “We think there will be a lot of interest,” said Kittle, who notes that not only is the sport good exercise, but a fun way to enjoy some camaraderie on a Saturday night. “Sportsmanship is very much a part of the game. Like that other Scottish game, golf, etiquette and the rules are very important with curling,” said Ellis.

••• As Ellis noted, curling is thought to have been invented in medieval Scotland, with the first written reference to a contest using stones on ice coming from the records of Paisley Abbey, Renfrewshire, in February 1541. In the sport, according to the popular website Wikipedia.com, two teams, each of four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones, also called “rocks,” across the ice curling sheet toward the house, a circular target marked on the ice. Each team has eight stones. The purpose is to accumulate the highest score for a game, points being scored for the stones resting closest to the center of the house at the conclusion of each end, which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones. A game may consist of 10 or eight ends. “The curler can induce a curved path by causing the stone to slowly turn as it slides, and the path of the rock may be further influenced by two sweepers with brooms who accompany it as it slides down the sheet, using the brooms to alter the state of the ice in front of the stone,” the site states. “A great deal of strategy and teamwork goes into choosing the ideal path and placement for each situation, and the skills of the curlers determine how close to the desired result the stone will achieve. This gives the game its nickname of ‘Chess On Ice.’ “Learning to read the sheet is like studying the grass on a green for a golfer,” said Ellis the day of our visit. ••• Ellis explained that the curling stone, as defined by the World Curling Federation, is a thick stone disc weighing between 38 and 44 pounds (17 and 20

kg) with a handle attached to the top. We turned to Wikipedia for further background. “Traditionally, curling stones were made from two specific types of granite called ‘Blue Hone’ and ‘Ailsa Craig Common Green,’ found on Ailsa Craig, an island off the Ayrshire coast in Scotland. Blue Hone has very low water absorption, which prevents the action of freezing and melting water from eroding the stone. Ailsa Craig Common Green granite is a lesser quality granite than Blue Hone. In the past, most curling stones were made from Blue Hone; however, the island is now a wildlife reserve and the quarry has closed. The second location where granite comes from to manufacture curling stones from is in Northern Wales. This granite is called ‘Trefor’ and comes in shades of blue/gray and red/brown. The quarry in Wales that supplies the granite to its exclusive curling stone manufacturing company in Canada, Canada Curling Stone Co., is a full and active quarry and it is not anticipated to ever run out of this granite for making curling stones. Canada Curling Stone Co. has been manufacturing curling stones since 1992. The cost of new Trefor granite curling stones is about $600 CAD a stone.” To get outfitted with equipment, Kittle says the Mount Washington Valley Curling Club raised about $5,000 and received a matching grant from the Gibson-Woodbury Foundation. “We purchased one set of stones for $3,200, with 16 stones per set. To buy the other two sets, a member of the Cape Cod Curling Club loaned us $6,400, so we have three sets,” said Kittle.

Remembering ‘The Trip’ I’ve taken many a trip around the world in my day. With gathering physical and mental problems, now’s the time to think back to those days with fond memories. One of those trips really stands out in my mind. It was a long trip. Lots of things happened, some which had to be resolved before we could continue. but things turned out well. It was “the” trip of a lifetime. Lala and I boarded a plane in Boston bound for Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. It promised to be a long trip, but, 24 hours later when we finally reached our hotel in La Haina, we did not expect the door to be locked and no one to be there to greet us. That was a very hard landing to be sitting on the sidewalk at midnight wondering what to do next. Fortunately for us there was a nearby restaurant still open as the staff cleaned up at the end of the day. These young people responded to our plight and by two a.m. we were booked into a fancy time share resort in the neighborhood for what was left of the very short night. We spent the next day in La Haina and headed to Molokai Island on the ferry at six p.m. to join our Elderhostel group to explore the art and culture of that unusual place. Molokai proved to be a different place then the other Hawaiian Islands. It was once dominated by the Dole Pineapple Co. which owned and operated pineapple plantations and brought people to the island to farm the land and harvest the crop. Gradually, however, these people prospered and got educated. They eventually left the ranks of Dole workers and, finally, Dole ceased operating on the island and moved much of its operation to the Philippine Islands. Our group leader was the granddaughter of an important German pineapple planter. Her grandmother had been a Hawaiian Island queen.

The land now is devoted to cattle ranching. Much of it is open and beautiful. The other remarkable thing about Molokai was that it once had a working, thriving leper colony. While it no longer houses folks with leprosy, the land and its buildings are still maintained. Our group boarded small planes to fly down over the high steep cliffs that guard the colony and spend a day touring the place and seeing and hearing how life was once lived there. It was fascinating to learn first hand of lives once lived in forced isolation. By the end of the first week we were ready to go back to Maui and partake in the modern tourist activities too be found there, One of them was being transported to the top of an extinct volcano and the riding down on a bicycle, While Lala and I were the oldest folks by far, we were quite capable of doing the trip. After all coasting down roughly 10,000 feet of vertical wasn’t very different then what we had spent a lot of days doing over our lifetime. Eh! We also went to the beach and swam in the lovely and warm Pacific Ocean on some days. We did many of the touristy things available on Maui and also dined out at some really nice places. we visited the restaurant were the kids had helped us out a couple of times and thanked them again for their assistance. After a week on Maui, we flew back to San Diego to attend the college graduation of my grand niece Kate and spend four days at a beach front house right in the city. It was Grand. After three weeks of traveling and partying getting back home to Gotham was very nice. Looking back, however, is also great fun and I’m glad we did it!

Republican Extremisim, Bad Economics

In the middle of all the debt default drama and stock market turbulence, the leading Republican presidential candidates have begun to fill in the shadowy outlines of their positions on major economic issues. And what a picture it is, a philosophy oriented around shrinking the role of the federal government in every imaginable way, by slashing spending, cutting taxes and halting or rescinding regulations. Their mantra is repeal and retrenchment, devoid of new initiatives or a positive agenda. Some of these views are to the right even of the Tea Party; they amount to the most radically conservative positions of any set of candidates at least since Barry M. Goldwater in 1964. Take the agreement to avert a disastrous default by cutting at least $2.1 trillion from the deficit over the next decade. Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul all opposed it. Only Jon M. Huntsman Jr. (whose poll num-

bers — perhaps not coincidentally — are in the single digits) supported it. In contrast, 58 percent of the members of the Tea Party in the House ultimately cast yes votes. Not to be outdone, Mrs. Bachmann and Mr. Paul ventured still further, insisting that they would never vote to raise the debt ceiling. That may sound good on the Iowa campaign trail, but it would easily tip the economy into an unending downward spiral. Then there’s “cut, cap and balance,” the Tea Party-backed bill that the House passed in the midst of the debt ceiling showdown. It would have forced the elimination of a quarter of government spending, down to a share of the economy last reached in 1966. The measure would also have initiated amending the Constitution to require a balanced budget, which would impede our ability to manage economic cycles. Yes, Ronald Reagan also favored a balanced budget amendment — see EXTREMISIM page 5

while supporting raising the debt ceiling 17 times. Another recent legislative proposal that won support among the hopefuls — an alternative budget proposal from Representative Paul D. Ryan, Republican of Wisconsin — would have turned Medicare into a voucher program, shifting the bulk of the cost to the elderly. But these are only the best-known of this crowd’s extreme views. In an unpublished interview, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas told Fortune magazine that if he had been president in 2008, he wouldn’t have engaged in the financial rescue effort.

Mr. Perry also wants to repeal the 16th Amendment, thereby eliminating the income tax, which accounts for 80 percent of government revenue. Like his fellow aspirants, Mr. Perry has offered no analysis to explain how the government would function under his vision. Mr. Paul, who finished second in the Iowa straw poll on Saturday, has for decades sought to abolish the Federal Reserve, arguing that it is corrupt and unconstitutional. Eliminating our central bank is a crazy idea that would plunge the country back into an oscillating 19th-century world of panics and busts. Mrs. Bachmann’s victory in the Iowa straw poll has only encouraged her extremism. In interviews over the weekend, she proclaimed her opposition to extending unemployment insurance for the jobless and her support for repealing both the Obama

health care plan and the Dodd-Frank financial reform law. And she said that Citigroup and General Motors should have been allowed to go bankrupt without government help. (Even The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page appears unnerved; it called Monday for “a candidate who can appeal across the party’s disparate factions.”) The candidates’ extreme views on economic policies reinforce the broad perception that American politics have become more polarized. Keith T. Poole, a political scientist at the University of California, San Diego, found that ideological divergence in Congress was the highest in at least 120 years. Interestingly, he concluded that the increased polarization resulted mostly from Republicans’ moving to the right, a conclusion that dovetails with the fact that Mr. Obama remains basically centrist even as his wouldbe opponents vie to outdo each other in their extreme form of conservatism. Perhaps these Republican aspirants are simply pandering to antigovernment sentiment and, if elected, would govern more sensibly. Franklin D. Roosevelt campaigned on eliminating “unnecessary functions of government” and then vastly expanded federal spending to fight the Depression. Bill Clinton did the reverse, pledging tax cuts in response to the 1990-1 recession but governing as a fiscal moderate. If any of these Republicans is elected, we can only hope that they will follow this pattern. Meantime, we have a lot to worry about. Steven Rattner, a Wall Street executive and a former Treasury official in the Obama administration, is a contributing writer to Op-Ed.

His attorney, Joseph Garrison of the NH Public Defender’s office, requested a competency evaluation and hearing at earlier proceedings. That evaluation is still pending, said Assistant Coos County Attorney John McCormack, while Badillo remains in custody for lack of $15,000 cash bail.

Stella Ferraro

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OBITUARY –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

NORTHGLENN, COLORADO -- Stella “Aunt Bi” Marie Boucher Ferraro, 99, passed away on the morning of Thursday, August 11, 2011 at Malley Health Care Center in Northglenn, Colorado, after a brief illness. Stella was born in Berlin, New Hampshire, on November 25, 1911 to Archie and Belle Pare Boucher. She graduated from St. Regis Academy High School in 1928, and went on to become hotel manager at East End Women’s Hotel, in New York City, New York, as a bookkeeper and accountant and also worked in hospitality. She then retired to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the 1970s. She later moved to Denver, Colorado, where she has lived since. In life, Stella was a loving companion to her husband Tom, and an avid reader, lover of music, especially the “Nutcracker” and enjoyed the company of her brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and friends. In her later years she was active in various activities, running a refreshment stand, playing bingo and going to outings, like Red Lobster (her favorite) and up to Central City, with the Malley

Nursing Home, where she resided for 18 and a half years. She spent many happy hours with her niece, Susan R. Boucher, her sister-in-law Beverly Engel, her great-nieces, Leslie Lynne Boucher-Nau, Krystin Marie-Elizabeth Boucher and her great-nephew Michael Joseph Rene Boucher and her great-great-nephew Jacob Allen Lawrence. She was preceded in death by her mother Bella and her father Archie Boucher, her beloved husband Thomas A. Ferraro, and two brothers, Marcel W. and Robert A. Boucher. She is survived by her brother Raymond (Luddy), of Bay Shore, New York, and her sister Claire Lemerise of Conway, New Hampshire, many nieces and nephews in the east coast, her niece, Susan Boucher of Broomfield, CO, her great nieces, Leslie Boucher-Nau, of Northglenn, CO, and Krystin Boucher of Fort Lauderdale, FL, great nephew Michael Boucher of Broomfield, CO, great-great nephew Jacob Lawrence of Northglenn, CO, sister-in-law Beverly Engel of Northglenn, CO. Stella will be remembered lovingly by all whose life she touched

ward changes before the voters as a referendum question since it requires changing the city charter. Noting that is a cumbersome process, she suggested the council present a separate question asking voters to allow future ward changes to be made by ordinance adopted by the mayor and city council. She said that approach has been adopted by other cities in the state to eliminate the need for a referendum question. Patrick said the council needed to vote by Aug. 29 to put the referendum questions on the ballot for this November’s municipal election. The council indicated it supported Patrick’s suggestion that it ask voters to allow future ward changes to be approved by ordinance adopted by the council. But Rozek expressed his displeasure with the proposed redistricting. He said he wanted to see actual maps drawn with the new lines. “I want to see something real,” he said. Rozek said he did not understand taking residents way up in Ward III, including much of Cates Hills, and making them part of Ward I. Councilor Roland Theberge said he could understand why Rozek was upset. He said people get used to voting at a specific polling place and would have to change to a new location. Grenier said Rozek would become a councilor without a ward under

the proposed plan. Patrick said if the plan is approved by the voters, Rozek would remain on the council until the next municipal election when all the council seats but one are up for grabs. Councilor Diana Nelson said it might be time to look at electing one councilor from each ward and having the remaining four run at large. She said she thought having councilors at large might open the doors to get more qualified people running for the council. Councilor Tom McCue asked what happens if the voters reject the redistricting plan that is presented. City Manager Patrick MacQueen said the city would have to hold a special election and eventually the issue could wind up in court. Grenier said he thought the city should come up with a plan the entire council could support. He said he would like more time to look at the issue closer. Patrick said the council could take more time and hold the referendum vote at the presidential primary early nest year. She said a redistricting plan must be approved by mid-2012 for the state election that year. Laflamme noted the issue will resurface in the 2020 census when the federal prison population figures are included. Rozek said he would like to be given the opportunity to work with Laflamme on resketching the ward lines. “I think there may be an alternative

to this and I’d like to help you,” he said. Patrick warned some councilor will end up being moved to a different ward as a result of the redistricting. “Someone will be upset,” she said. Grenier asked Laflamme to have revised plans ready for the council’s review by Oct. 1. He said the issue would go before the voters at next year’s primary. McCue asked if the council wanted to look at changing the number of wards, could that go on the primary ballot to avoid the expense of a spe-

cial election. Patrick replied yes. Grenier said he would propose the city look at establishing a charter revision commission to address such a major charter change. He noted the charter was approved when the population of the city was in the 17,000 to 18,000 range. Berlin’s population is now 10,051. Grenier said a charter revision commission would be charged with studying the entire document and making recommendations to the public. He said he could not support the council making such a major change in the charter.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis rently enjoy about the person. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll feel a new sense of freedom. It’s as though you can’t make a mistake because there are no mistakes -- there is just you finding out what will happen if you do it this way as opposed to that way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t have to toil away at making a living today. Rather, you’ll have a blast and see what comes. Something is being given to you, and all you have to do is practice receiving it graciously. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will truly feel like you are a spirit living in a material world. For instance, you realize that the ultimate security can only be found within, and yet you still lock your doors and keep your wallet close. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Expectation is a powerfully magnetic force that you will wield well now. So anticipate a beneficial opportunity coming your way, and look forward to magnificent surprises. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You avoid confrontations with aggressive people. It’s not because you think you won’t win the argument, but because you know there will be no satisfaction or purpose in winning. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 17). You will invent and reinvent. One of your past creations will be used in a new way in September, and you’ll make more money this time around. Friendships form over October business ventures. You will be the recipient of much amorous attention in November. Loved ones blossom under your tutelage in the new year. Pisces and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 11, 28, 17 and 42.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A dispute will be settled because you’ll take the time to understand not only what the other person wants, but why. Being understood feels so satisfying to the other person that he or she could stop fighting and accept what you offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you love security, if the odds look favorable, you’ll take a risk. You need time to build up your nerve. Encouraging people -- like Capricorn and Aries -- will speed your process along. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The promise of excitement is in the air, though this is no free ticket to ride. This is the kind of thrill at which you’ll have to work. For now, the work has to do with reading, exploring and staying open to the possibilities. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The current state of things is merely a passing circumstance. Give the unsatisfactory bits very little attention -- it would be a waste of time to dwell on the situation. Today’s reality will not be tomorrow’s reality. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Reconsider the way your workspace is organized. You’ve changed things around several times, but it’s still not quite optimum. There is a noise or lighting issue to be addressed, and it may be time to call in the professionals. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s as though the more you do to ensure a relationship is going well the worse it becomes. Relax. This is just a case of trying too hard. Don’t try at all, and you’ll love how things develop. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Wanting someone to be different is the opposite of love. It is rejection of the person he or she is right now. Let go of desire for change, and focus on what you cur-

WOMAN WITH HUSBAND AND LOVER WANTS ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY

DEAR ABBY: Sometime ago, you printed a letter from one of your readers who was upset over her son’s polyamorous relationship. I didn’t respond then, but now that my triad is ready to come out to my boyfriend’s family (we are out to mine and to my husband’sôfamily), I feel the need to address this lifestyle in your column and ask your advice. My husband and I have been together 10 years. We started out as swingers. When we met my now-boyfriend, it became apparent that it was going to be more serious than “play” partners. Our particular arrangement is a “V” triad, meaning I am involved with two (husband and boyfriend), but they are not involved with each other. My boyfriend is extremely important to us in every way. We all work together to make a very smooth-running, loving household. I want you and your readers to know that this IS a viable relationship with love, respect and, most important, open communication. This kind of relationship -- or any, for that matter -- is doomed without it. An estimated half-million people in the United States are part of polyamorous relationships. We’re not freaks in need of counseling, but people who realize that love can grow and that there is an alternative to monogamy. Abby, I would like to get some tips from someone who doesn’t readily accept this life or even know it’s out there. My boyfriend’s family is conservative and they know he lives with a married couple. We’ve all spent time together, and I think they like me. Of course, they don’t know I’m romantically involved with their son. What’s the best way to tell them about our triad? We want

them to know this isn’t the end of the world and that I love him very much. I’d appreciate any advice from you or your readers on this. Until we’re out of the closet, please sign me ... NOWHERE AND EVERYWHERE DEAR N AND E: Because you’re looking for input from someone who “doesn’t readily accept this life,” you have come to the right place. You didn’t say how long your boyfriend has been living with you and your husband, but if it has been any length of time and his parents know he isn’t involved with anyone else, it’s possible they already have some suspicions. Because they are conservative, if I were you I wouldn’t shatter their illusions. I can almost guarantee they won’t embrace you for it. If you feel you MUST disclose the information, then do it in the same way that you have explained it to me. But don’t expect them to jump for joy. DEAR ABBY: At what age does a person become a senior citizen? There has been much discussion about this in our family. I looked forward to turning 50 and becoming a “semi-sexy senior.” AARP starts asking us to join BEFORE 50. -- BILL IN ARKANSAS DEAR BILL: Yes, it does. It’s called recruiting. Eligibility for senior discounts varies depending upon the establishment offering them, and there’s no limit to the age one can be “semi-sexy” as long as you are healthy, willing and able. When I was invited to join the AARP, I decided to defer becoming a senior citizen as long as possible. With the retirement age now approaching 70, it appears the government is taking its lead from me.

held on to score his first feature win of the division. Bear Lapan in his #18, the #44 of Anthony Leary, Aric Cole, and Colebrook’s Bobby Riley, rounded out the top five. Qualifying races were won by Dennis O’Brien and Lapan. The Town & Country Motor Inn Street Stocks were small in number. However, the division’s two top drivers put on a whale of show. Ben Belanger held off the red hot Dean Switser to take the victory. Rob Isham, Tom Sokolis, and Cody LeBlanc finished in the top five. The heat victory went to Belanger. It was round # 2 for the Kids Only Day Care/ Jiffy Mart Cyclone triple Crown series. The 100 lap event saw racing all around the speedway. When the dust finally settled, Nick Pilotte survived a late race restart to claim the victory. Jason Wyman, Cole Kilby, Dana Graham, and Jeff Ainsworth rounded out the top five. Wyman and Pilotte are now tied for points in the three race series. The final event will take place on Jiffy Mart night on September 12th. Riverside is gearing up for its biggest event of the year this coming weekend on Saturday and Sunday. The Central Asphalt/Munces Superior sponsored “Clash of the Titans” 150, paying $5000 to win, will take place on Sunday afternoon beginning at 1 PM. The Thunder Road Street Stocks, Budweiser Super Stocks, and Jiffy Mart Cyclones will all be on hand for their scheduled events. On Saturday night, Lancaster Auto Sales will sponsor the time trials for the Late Models and the Outlaws. $250 will be given to the fastest time trialers of each division. The Outlaws will run a 50 lap $500 to win feature. The Street Stocks, Angels, Dwarfs, and Daredevils will also be in action. The speedway allows free camping to make the weekend affordable for its race fans.

The JA Corey/US Cellular Outlaws had a big evening that included a make-up feature. In the makeup event, the #73 of David Ofsuryk got to the finish line first with the #57 of Chandler Davis, the #01 of Sammy Gooden, Bethlehem’s Doug Laleme, and Pittsburg’s Mike Paquett making it into the top five. Heat wins went to Jourdan Davis and Mike Paquett. Running their feature for the Sherwin Williams’/ Eastman Trophy event, the Outlaws had a couple of hard hits and a sensational side by side battle for the win between Jourdan Davis and Sammy Gooden. The #74 of Doug Laleme took a hard hit from the #2 of Bobby Riley in turns 3 & 4, causing heavy damage to both vehicles. The racing up front was nothing but the edge of your seat variety. The younger Davis took the lead on lap five and appeared to be headed towards the feature win. Caution placed the race into a 10 lap shootout between Davis and Gooden. Gooden worked hard on the outside as the duo raced without contact until Gooden beat Davis to the line for the win. A final lap skirmish between Mike Paquett and David Ofsuryk, allowed rookie driver Aaron Smith to take a podium finish. Veteran Floyd Bennett captured fourth with Paquett salvaging a top five finish. Heat victories went to Davis and Gooden. The Griffin Family Angels saw Tracie Nelson in victory lane for the second time this season. Tina Leveille drove to a second place finish, with Vanessa Brown nipping Shawna Whitcomb at the line for third and fourth place respectively. Stark’s Jenna Randall finished fifth for the ladies’ division. Nelson carried the checkered flag for the qualifying race. The Twisted Tea Dwarf cars were on hand in force and 14 strong. New comer Andy Hill worked his way through traffic and took the lead by lap 16. Hill
