City asked to help fund economic development positionBERLIN -- The city is being asked to

appropriate $15,000 to fund part of the cost of Tri-County Community Action Pro-gram Housing and Economic Development Director Max Makaitis.

At Wednesday’s budget hearing, Mayor Paul Grenier said he believes Coos County

has lacked a central person on economic development in recent years. Instead, he said several competing agencies worked in different parts of the county. Makaitis served as Androscoggin Valley Economic Development Director with funding from a grant obtained by Northern Commu-nity Investment Corporation. The city and CAP jointly shared and funded an

economic development coordinator and Coos Economic Development Corporation had an executive director who received a large portion of his budget from the county. CEDC has reorganized and no longer has an executive director and the city and CAP discontinued their arrangement. Makaitis moved over to CAP in an effort to share his

BERLIN – Local offi cials oppose a pro-posal to close the Berlin prison and send the inmates to an out-of-state facility.

“I certainly don’t want it closed,” said Rep. Yvonne Thomas, (D-Berlin). “I don’t think that makes a whole lot of sense,” she added.

“It doesn’t make sense at all,” agreed Rep. Robert Theberge, (D-Berlin).

Presented with a series of proposed fi nancial cuts in the Department of Correc-

tions 2012-13 budget by the House Finance Committee, Commissioner William Wrenn said the only way his department can achieve the cuts is by closing the Berlin prison. In a letter to the fi nance committee Wrenn stressed he is not recommending closing the Berlin facility. Rather he said he believes it is the only option that will meet the requested reductions in a “safe and responsible manner”.

Wrenn requested a decision soon because he said it would take “several months and up to a year to implement” the prison clo-

sure and transferring the inmates to a pri-vate facility.

The 4-page letter outlines the cuts requested by the committee including a fi ve percent cut in personnel. Wrenn said that would require laying off 45 employees. He said he and his senior staff went through the facilities and looked at various options to reach the 45-employee fi gure. The only option that worked, Wrenn said, is closing the Berlin prison with its 185 employees and 618 inmates. He said the cost of send-

Sen. Shaheen discusses lack of funds for prison with NBC crew

BERLIN— By targeting the attention of the national media on the lack of funds for the federal prison, Senator Jeanne Shaheen hopes Congress will appropriate the money to open the facility.

“I think getting attention to it is very important,” Shaheen said.

Shaheen sat down yesterday with NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell for an interview about the prison’s lack of $28.5 million in activation funds and how it’s sitting vacant until that money is available. The segment on the prison will air on NBC’s “Today.”

“The New York Times” last week featured a quote from Shaheen’s remarks on the Senate fl oor about the lack of funds for the prison.

“It doesn’t make sense spending $4 million to keep it open and empty,” Shaheen said, while speaking to the local media during a

BY CRAIG LYONSTHE BERLIN DAILY SUN

break in the taping. “When we ought to be spending the additional money to get it started.”

Drawing attention to the situation could leverage the ability to get the funds for the activation, said Shaheen.

“I think the fact that we’ve got NBC and the ‘Today’ show up here looking at the prison, I think it’s a good sign,” Sha-

heen said. “It means we’re going to get some attention to this.”

Shaheen said people will see what’s going on in Berlin and realize that it doesn’t make sense. She added the tax-payers already paid for the facility’s con-struction and people know it will create 340 jobs and have a $40 million impact.

SAYWHAT...I’m quite illiterate, but I read a lot.”

—J. D. Salinger

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. (NY Times) — For years, offi cials at Ursinus College had been trying to fi gure out how to capitalize on the fact that J. D. Salinger had spent one semester there in 1938.

They were hoping to attract publicity for Ursinus and tried everything they could think of to lure Salinger from the secluded world he’d lived in for his fi nal 50 years. They offered to make him a guest lecturer; to build a literary festival around him; to award him an honorary degree. “No response,” said Richard DiFe-liciantonio, the vice president for enrollment.

Then Jon Volkmer, an English professor, had what Holden Caulfi eld would have called a goddam terrifi c idea. They could establish an annual J. D. Salinger Scholar-ship in creative writing for an incoming freshman, and as a bonus the winner would get to spend the fi rst year at Ursinus in Salinger’s old dorm room.

“Any college could offer money,” Professor Volkmer said. “Nobody else could offer Salinger’s room.”

On Jan. 19, 2006, the col-lege announced the $30,000-a-year Salinger scholarship, and within a week, the writer’s literary representatives were demanding that his name be removed. The college changed the name of the scholarship to the Ursinus Col-lege Creative Writing Award. But the part about sleeping in Salinger’s room remained.

“I mean, we own the room,” Professor Volkmer said. “They couldn’t stop us from that, I don’t think.”

TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times) — Explo-sions and anti-aircraft fi re could be heard in and around Tripoli Monday in a third straight night of attacks there against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi ’s forces, while Euro-pean nations feuded over who should take command of the no-fl y zone. On the ground in Libya, pro-Qaddafi forces were holding out against the allied campaign and an amateurish rebel counter-attack.

Pentagon offi cials said there were fewer American and coalition airstrikes in Libya Sunday night and Monday, and that the number was likely to decline further in coming days. But Gen. Carter F. Ham, the head of United States Africa Command, who is in charge of the coalition effort, said there would be coalition airstrikes on Colo-nel Qaddafi ’s mobile air defenses and that some 80 sorties — only half of them by the

United States — had been fl own on Monday.President Obama said that the initial

stages of the operation aimed at eliminating Libyan air defenses were being coordinated, the American forces would turn over full responsibility to its partners to establish and maintain a no-fl y zone. It is still “U.S. policy that Qaddafi needs to go,” he said at a news conference in Santiago, Chile, with that country’s president, Sebastian Pinera.

SANA, Yemen (NY Times) — In a signifi cant erosion of support for Yemen’s embattled president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, the country’s senior military fi gure and four other top generals on Monday threw their support behind pro-testers calling for his immedi-ate ouster, joining a rising tide of defecting tribal fi gures and diplo-mats.

As the country girded itself for the next stage of a deepening crisis, rival soldiers held positions in dif-ferent sections of Sana, the capi-

tal. The United States Embassy urged Americans in Yemen to stay indoors on Monday night because of “political instability and uncer-tainty” here in Sana and around the country.

The defection of the senior offi cer, Brig. Gen. Ali Mohsin al-Ahmar, who commands forces in the country’s northwest, was seen by many in Yemen as a turning point, and a possible sign that government leaders could be negotiating a peaceful exit for the president.

TOKYO (NY Times) — Efforts to stabilize the crippled nuclear power plant in Fukushima stalled on Monday when engineers found that crucial machinery at one reactor required repair, a process that will take two to three days, government offi cials said.

A team of workers trying to repair another reactor, No. 3, was evacuated in the afternoon after gray smoke rose from it, said Tetsuro Fukuyama, the deputy chief cabinet secretary of the Japanese government. But no explosion was heard and the emission ended by 6 p.m., NHK, the national broadcaster, said.

Separately, NHK cited the Japanese Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency as saying that white smoke was coming from the building housing Reactor No. 2, where repairs to machin-ery were needed. Mr. Fukuyama said signifi cantly higher radi-ation had not been detected around the two reactors.

Prosecution expert: Gribble knew actions were criminal

NASHUA — A forensic psychiatrist testifi ed Monday Christopher A. Grib-ble suffers from low-level pervasive developmental disorder similar to Asberger’s syndrome or autism, mild depression and some emerging anti-social personality disorders.

But Dr. Albert M. Drukteinis said Gribble, 21, has no mental illness and was not insane when he killed a Mont Vernon mother and maimed her young daughter during a 2009 home invasion and robbery.

Gribble is not psychotic and does not suffer from hallucinations, thought disorders, major depression or other impulse control disorders that would be considered mental illnesses or dis-orders in forensic terms, Drukteinis testifi ed as the state’s expert in Hills-borough County Superior Court.

While Gribble talked and wrote about himself as being the Angel of Death or the Angel of Destruction, he admitted he was not thinking of acting as such during the horrifi c home invasion that left Kimberly L. Cates, 42, dead and her daughter, Jaimie, gravely wounded, Drukteinis testifi ed on the seventh day of Gribble’s insanity trial.

“I asked him why would the Angel

of Death need to take jewelry from the house. And he has some answer that was a little muddled,” Drukteinis said, referring to stolen jewelry that Grib-ble and one of his accomplices, Steven Spader, pawned later that day.

In addition, the fact that Gribble was among four accomplices who planned and conspired to commit the robbery and thrill kill makes it less likely that the crimes were the result of a psychotic break or other mental illness.

Drukteinis said his fi ndings are based on a review of about 13,000 pages of documents and personally interviewing Gribble last month for about 7 and a half hours.

Drukteinis described Gribble as socially awkward, manipulative, intelligent and articulate, as suffer-ing from grandiosity and loneliness. But he said Gribble knew right from wrong, could control his actions and did not suffer from a mental illness.

Gribble admitted to the crimes, but claims he was insane at the time. He must convince the jury he suffered from a mental illness or disorder at the time, and that his actions were the product of that disorder.

New Hampshire is the only state in the country that leaves it up to a jury to decide if a defendant is criminally insane.

BOSTON — North Andover police said a 47-year-old New Hampshire man was killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Route 114 early Monday.

He was identifi ed as Raymond LeClerc, of 199 Thornton Street in Manchester, the Essex County Dis-trict Attorney’s Offi ce said.

Offi cers said the crash happened at the intersection of Route 114 and Route 125 about 5:30 a.m., and a tractor-trailer truck cab was nearly destroyed in the explosion that followed the crash.

When police arrived at the scene,

two vehicles were on fi re and one person was dead, police said. A third vehicle, a white car, had its roof ripped off and windows smashed. That driver escaped alive, police said.

A spokesman there said the truck driver was OK but had suffered some scrapes and bruises. He said he did not know the cause of the crash but said there was no indication that driver error or mechanical error was to blame. The company did not release the driver’s name.

WMCC Can Improve Your Earnings

Kathy Eneguess, President White Mountains Community College

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Educational Attainment, adults who have earned an associate degree can expect to earn 15 percent more each year than those who have some college, but who did not earn a degree. Included in the group who have some college but no degree, are people who started out at tra-ditional four-year residential colleges but who dropped out.

Though some in this second group most likely finished two or three years at higher education institutions which grant bachelor degrees, they did not leave those institu-tions with a diploma or certificate. While one can debate to what extent personal fac-tors played a part – for instance, how many of those who dropped out of four-year col-leges did so because they were partying too much to earn passing grades? – it no doubt strengthens job seekers positions when they can document that they have enough of an attention span, and were motivated enough, to earn an associate degree or professional certificate. Employees bring those traits with them to the workplace, and employ-ers often show their appreciation of this through higher pay. These employers also know these workers have the skills they need in order to complete their daily tasks in an efficient and professional manner.

At White Mountains Community Col-lege we work hard to increase the odds that those who leave our classrooms with an associate degree or professional certifi-cate will be fully qualified for the career for which they have trained in their field. We work hard to keep our curriculum relevant to the workplace. We depend on help from

the wider community to do so, in the form of an advisory committee for each of our pro-grams. Included in the membership of these committees are professionals who work in the field in which they advise. They know what skills and knowledge are relevant to today’s workplace because they live it every day.

We are also lucky to have members of our faculty who work in the fields in which they teach. These teachers, from our programs such as Nursing and Accounting, bring what they have learned from years of real-life experience with them into the class-room, which they don’t hesitate to share with our students.

It is still a tough employment market for those who are looking for work or who are just starting out on a career path. Though our unemployment statistics are better in New Hampshire than in most other states, there is still a lot of competition for job openings. Having a college degree or a pro-fessional certificate can propel you head and shoulders over the competition, and, when you’re settled into your new job, it can make you a valuable employee.

That 15 percent extra each year that you can expect to earn if you attain an associ-ate degree or professional certificate adds up over the course of a lifetime. For more information on how to start investing in your education give us a call at 752-1113, or check out our website at www.wmcc.edu .

Mr. Bisson lost all credibility in my bookTo the editor:I totally disagree with

Michael Bisson. He stated that he and most people would have no problem going 30 years on their job without a raise.

That absurd statement cost him every bit of cred-ibility, and makes a joke out of his entire comment.

Teachers, and everyone else, make their own choice about their job. If people are jeal-ous about someone’s job, make the effort to further yourself. Just wanting a better job is great, but they are not handed out, they are earned.

knowing Ray, Sr., was spend-ing his fi rst Thanksgiving meal without his sweetheart, we could not have asked for a better day than to share a holiday meal with all of you. Thank you for taking time out of your day to share in a beau-tiful Thanksgiving meal with him. We do anticipate a follow up this coming year. Looking forward to a second Aannual Thanksgiving celebration in the memory of Muriel.

The summer season is fast approaching and the blueberry picking is nearly here, I’m sure Dad will look forward to seeing you and so will we. Let us know if you’d like to take part in our second celebration!

Munce’s fi les for bankruptcyBy DENIS PAISTENew Hampshire Union LeaderMANCHESTER Munce s Supe-

rior Petroleum Products Inc. of Gorham and its affi liates have fi led for Chapter 11 reorganization of debts in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Man-chester.

The restructuring will allow the Munce family of companies to emerge as profi table and stable, Harold Butch Munce, president of Munce s Superior, said in a statement.

Munce s said a combination of losses from a hedging contract for No. 2 home heating oil that locked it into paying a higher price for oil after the price dropped in 2008, and a loss of customers, led to losses of more than $1 million.

In the court fi ling, Munce s listed assets of between $100,000 and $500,000, with debts exceeding $1 million.

As part of the reorganization pro-ceeding, Munce s Superior reached an agreement with Northway Bank for a new loan, the company said in a state-ment.

Judge J. Michael Deasy on Thurs-day approved the Northway fi nancing, known as debtor-in-possession fi nanc-ing.

It will be business as usual, actu-ally a little better, Munce s employee Rob Munce said Thursday.

Last year, Munce s ran afoul of state tax collectors and consumer protection offi cials. Those issues were resolved but not soon enough to keep the fi rm out of bankruptcy court.

After Munce s Superior and Supe-

rior Trucking fell behind on certain state road toll taxes and oil discharge fees, the state collected payment from a bond, and the bonding com-pany sued Munce s Superior and its affi liates. The resulting lien on the companies assets made it impossible for the business to attain the credit it needed, according to a press release.

Munce s also had to post of letter of credit guaranteeing it would honor pre-paid oil contracts after the state sued Munce s last summer.

We re just happy that the consum-ers are protected by the action that we took, Constance N. Stratton, senior assistant attorney general in the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau, said.

Munce s bankruptcy attorney, Robert J. Keach of Bernstein Shur, said as Munce s delivers on the pre-paid contracts, its obligation is shrink-ing. About $35,000 remains.

All pre-paid customers will con-tinue to get their deliveries, he said.

Munce s pre-bankruptcy lenders were Northway Bank and Passumpsic Savings Bank.

Deasy also ordered joint administra-tion of Munce s Superior Petroleum Products Inc and related bankruptcies Gorham Oil Inc., Superior Trucking Inc., Munce s Real Estate Ventures and BMRA Real Estate Ventures LLC.

Munce s Superior case in the fed-eral bankruptcy court is No. 11-10975.

Mark Stickney of turnaround con-sulting fi rm Spinglass Management of Portland, Maine, is serving as chief restructuring offi cer for the Munce s companies.

Mass. man injured in snowmobile crash near Coleman State Park

STEWARTSTOWN -- A Mas-sachusetts man was injured in a snowmobile accident Sunday March 20, in Coleman State Park.

According to a NH Fish & Game press release, the accident occurred at approximately 8:30 a.m. on Trail 5 in Stewartstown, near the state park. Adam Pearson, 23, of North Andover, Mass., was injured when his snowmobile struck that of Elis-abeth Bryan, 21, of Windham, NH.

Pearson was the third snowmo-bile in his group when the two in front of him stopped after making a wrong turn on Trail 5 just north of Coleman State Park. He attempted to stop, but slid into the rear of Bryan’s machine throwing him off his snowmobile. Accord-ing to a member of his group it appeared that Pearson’s leg was off the running board when the crash occurred. Pearson suffered a lower leg fracture in the crash. Bryan was uninjured.

Colebrook Fire and Rescue, 45th Parallel EMS, and Conserva-tion Officer Geoffrey Younglove of New Hampshire Fish and Game responded to the scene. Pearson was treated for his injuries by Colebrook Fire and Rescue person-nel and 45th Parallel EMS. He was then transported to Coleman State

Park where a DHART helicopter landed. Pearson was assessed by DHART personnel who decided to fly him to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon for fur-ther medical treatment.

Fish & Game officials said it appeared the cause of the crash was a result of Pearson follow-ing to closely for the hard frozen trail conditions. Trail conditions have deteriorated with the recent warm weather and as a result have become variable depending on loca-tion and time of day.

Because of this it is important that snowmobilers take extra cau-tion while riding.

Michael Pickering, 55, of Intervale, was fi ned $420 for possession of con-trolled/ narcotic drugs. A charge of possession of drugs in a motor vehicle was nol prossed.

Reginald Young, 42, of Berlin, had

position. Grenier said the county del-

egation has agreed to appropri-ate $15,000 to fund Makaitis and Gorham approved $5,000 at its town meeting. Grenier is asking the city council to approve $15,000 and Makaitis and CAP will seek grants and donations to cover the remaining cost of the position.

Grenier said Makaitis would be available to assist other communi-ties, which is why the county agreed to share in the cost. Because most of the economic activity currently is going on in the Androscoggin Valley, Berlin and Gorham are both being asked to contribute as well. As Makaitis expands to do eco-nomic development for other com-munities, Grenier said the hope is they will agree to contribute and the position will become self-fund-ing.

Makaitis told the council his focus is on retaining and creating jobs. He has worked on a number of projects including the Laidlaw bio-mass plant, the Gorham mill, and the Notre Dame rehabilitation. His offi ce is located at the Brown House where he shares support staff with the chamber of commerce and the Northern Forest Heritage Park.

Councilor Tom McCue said this is the fi rst time the concept has been presented to the council. Councilor Diana Nelson said she wants to see performance standards in place and

a requirement for quarterly reports before she will vote to approve the appropriation. Grenier noted with-out a quorum Wednesday, the coun-cil could not vote to add the position to the proposed budget. He said he will bring the issue back up to the council when there is a quorum. In the meantime, Kelly agreed to work with City Manager Patrick Mac-Queen on performance standards for the position.

Makaitis was hired two years ago to serve as Androscoggin Valley Economic Development Director through funding obtained by North-ern Community Investment Corpo-ration. He came with an extensive background in business. In 1981, Makaitis co-founded his own com-pany, American Finance Group. From a start-up, the company grew to an annual commercial lease volume of $200 million annually. He sold his interest and founded Ameri-can Equitable Finance Corporation. In 2001, he was asked to go to his native Lithuania and help set up a television station. He fi nanced and built a private television network from a one city regional channel to a fi fteen frequency national broad-cast network. He followed that by fi nancing and building a national radio news/talk/ sports network in Lithuania.

During part of that time, from 1997 to 2000, he served as foreign investment advisor to the Lithu-ania prime minister.

A DIVISION OF

CITY OF BERLIN, N.H. Contract #11-06

INTEGRATED ALARM MONITORING SYSTEM

INVITATION TO BID

The City of Berlin will receive sealed bids until no later than 2 pm, prevailing time, Thursday April 7, 2011 at the City Manager’s Office, City Hall, 168 Main Street, Berlin, New Hampshire for Contract #11-06 for provision and installation of an Integrated Alarm Monitoring System to replace the existing system at the Berlin Fire Department. Shortly thereafter, bids will be publicly opened and read aloud in any available office or conference Room at the City Hall, Berlin, NH. Bid Documents may be obtained, at no charge from the City Manager’s Office or at www.berlinnh.gov. The City Manager reserves the right to waive defects in form and minor irregularities and to reject any or all bids as determined to be in the best interest of the City.

The $28.5 million in activation funds for the prison are missing as Congress is working through a number of continuing budget resolutions, Sha-heen said.

“Because we’re now operating in this limbo stage, they’re not in there right now,” Shaheen said.

The funds were included in the Senate’s 2011 omnibus funding bill, Shaheen said, and if that budget had passed the prison would be in position to begin hiring.

The continuing resolution keeps things operat-ing at current levels, Shaheen said. She added

since the funds didn’t exist in 2010, they aren’t in any of the continuing resolutions.

The activation funds are in the president’s 2012 budget.

“My goal is to continue to work to get them in,” Shaheen said. She added she hopes that when a budget resolution is passed for the remainder of the year, it will include the activation funds.

Shaheen said it doesn’t make sense not to acti-vate the prison since the federal government has already spent $276 million to build the facility and is instead paying to keep in empty in the interim.

“It’s penny wise and pound foolish,” said Sha-heen. “It’s short-term thinking.”

SHAHEEN from page one

ing the inmates outside the state will be high but can be accomplished with savings from closing the prison. Some positions could be retained and used to help out with staffi ng at other facilities and supervi-sion in the communities.

Theberge and Thomas both said they have heard from correctional offi cers at the prison worried about losing their jobs. With the region still suffering from the loss of hundreds of jobs from the closing of the paper mills, the representatives said the county can ill afford the loss of more jobs.

Theberge said it does not make sense for the state to look at closing its newest facility.

“If you’re going to close a facility it doesn’t make

sense to close the one that is state-of-the art,” he said.

Theberge said he has heard there is interest in the state leasing or selling the Berlin prison to a pri-vate correctional company to run. He said a private company would probably look to expand the facility, which was built with the infrastructure to accom-modate 1,000 beds.

Department of Corrections spokesman Jeffrey Lyons cautioned the legislature is still at the begin-ning of the budget process and there is a distance to go before the legislature and governor agree on a new budget.

“This is really the early part of the process,” he said.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You strike a perfect balance between spending and saving. You will save just enough to feel secure about your future and spend enough to feel content with your present. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have such a high need for order now that you may work overtime to get your environment in tip-top shape. Whether or not this is really your job or your responsibility will be irrelevant to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a habit you’ve been trying to break for a while now. The answer is right in front of you today. It’s as simple as getting in touch with your emotions and talking about what you are feeling. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Pres-sure and challenge go together. You can handle what the day brings. And if you come to tears over the whole thing, this is good. Crying purges your body of stress hormones. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Perhaps no one is singing out to praise the sustained genius of your work -- and maybe someone should be. All it takes is one person to get the ball rolling. Could the instigator be you? If you’re sly! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You seldom allow yourself a reprieve from all the constant improving. There are times, however, when vigilance is coun-terproductive. Today it’s better to relax -- so give it a rest. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your day will be focused on friends. You’ll hap-pily adapt to the curveballs they throw into your schedule. You want to stay connected, and your friends sense and appreciate how important this is to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even if you’ve yet to learn the new interface for your upgraded software and you’re slow at spelling with your thumbs, you could still do an absolutely impressive job today. Old skills will give you an advantage now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Life is not a melodrama -- well, not usu-ally. However, the roles of the “hero,” “villain” and “heroine” seem to be, at for least today, typically and clearly defi ned. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Multitasking offers the illusion that you can do more than one thing at a time, when, in actuality, it’s just that many things are undone at the same time. Focus on one task, and fi nish it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your possessions need attention. Reorder, repair and replace. You’ll feel much better once your things are arranged in a way that is both visually pleasing and functional. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A turgid presentation or tedious meeting could be cause for bonding. Look for the humor in professional situations, but be careful not to share your obser-vations with just anyone. Use timing and discretion. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 22). You are a true original. Your work is developing as you always wanted it to, and you will get many chances to show your talent. In April, you will walk a fi ne line and gain political favor. June brings moonlit romance. There’s a windfall in July. Family celebrations and other reunions happen in August. Capricorn and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20, 14, 13 and 34.

DEAR ABBY: My job requires me to travel out of town several nights a week, leaving my wife home alone. She re-cently invited a mutual (male) friend out for dinner during my absence. He’s the other half of a couple we socialize with frequently. (His wife was also out of town.) I told her I was uncomfortable with it. I don’t think mar-ried men and women should go out alone with members of the opposite sex. She maintains that it wasn’t a “date,” that she was just having a meal with a friend. I value your opinion and would like to know how you feel about this. Did I overreact? Is it appropriate for a married woman to go out for a meal alone with a man other than her husband? -- FEELING CHEATED ON IN ILLINOIS DEAR FEELING CHEATED ON: With some couples this wouldn’t be an issue. However, how I feel about it is not as important as how YOU feel about it. If you have explained your feelings to your wife and she knows it made you uncom-fortable -- innocent as it was -- then it shouldn’t be repeated. I can’t help but wonder how she would react if you told her you had run into the man’s wife on one of your business trips and the two of you had had dinner together -- and plan to do so again in the future. DEAR ABBY: Whenever my father comes into my room to wake me up, he opens the shutters on my windows. Af-ter spending hours in a dark room, the bright light hurts my eyes. I have talked to him about it several times, but usually fi nd myself apologizing for being overly sensitive about the matter.

Abby, even when he has promised not to, he still does it. Is there anything I can do to make him stop? -- SENSITIVE EYES IN RICHMOND, VA. DEAR SENSITIVE EYES: Yes, there is. Take responsibility for waking yourself up by getting an alarm clock so you no longer need your father’s “help.” DEAR ABBY: My husband’s sister is being married in a few months. The wedding is in her hometown, which is more than 1,400 miles from where we live. My husband and I have three small children. Taking our entire family and staying for three or four days will cost almost $3,000. Two of the children would not be able to attend the ceremony without causing a disruption, due to naps, feeding, etc. In spite of the fi nancial burden and the fact that it will be a diffi cult trip for the children, the bride-to-be is demanding that all of us be there. Abby, are we obligated to make this trip, or would it be ac-ceptable for only my husband to attend? If he goes alone, he will have time with his sister and the rest of the family, whom he does not get to see very often. We want to do the right thing, but the reality is that taking our family of fi ve would be diffi cult and stressful for everyone. -- ANXIOUS IN OHIO DEAR ANXIOUS: Your husband needs to assert himself and talk some sense into his sister. While it is wonderful that she would like to have all of you at her wedding, an invitation is a request -- not a summons. If being there with the children would be stressful fi nancially, logistically and emotionally, you are right to stay home.
