THECOCHECO
By Wallace GilmanFive of the grcat New England Rivers originate in
NH and one of them, the Cocheco, is formed in
Farmington.
My father and Ifished each of the rivers, which
contribute to the Cocheco from their source to the
Central Street Bridge.
The Waldron River comes out of Match (Chalk)
Pond in New Durham, forms the Waldron Mill Pond
on the Old Bay Road, eventually crosses upper Spring
Street and runs under the Central Street Bridge.
The Ela River runs out of Colrain Pond in New
Durham, forms the Farmington Club Pond, crosses
upper Spring Street and joins the Cocheco above
Central Street Bridge.
Mad River rises in west. Farmington . as the
MacKenzie Brook, forms Libby's Pond and runs toFarmington as Mad River where it joins the Waldron
River below Central Street Bridge to form the
Cocheco. The Cocheco joins the Salmon Falls River in
Dover to form the Piscataqua, "
Cocheco is an Indian word, meaning "very rapid" or
:violent" and I'm sure that anyone who has had
occasion to observe the Cocheco, especially in the early
spring, will agree that the description is well-suited.

GED CLASSES INF ARMINGTON
Every Monday morning from 9:00 to 12:00 at the
Goodwin Library, three or four students meet with
GED teacher Debbie Liskow to prepare for the
GED test. This is a free class that gives students
over 18 years old a chance to earn their high school
equivalency diploma. The students are at different
academic levels: some need to do lots of studying
before they are ready to take any of the five
components of the GED: social studies, math,
writing, reading and science. Other students may
only need to concentrate on one or two areas, such
as higher-level math skills or essay writing.
Students must pass a pre-test in each of the five
subject areas before Ms. Liskow recommends that
they go to Dover Adult Learning Center to take an
official GED. The test may be taken one subject at
a time on separate days or all at once on a
.Saturday.
For anyone who dropped out of school last year or
even thirty years ago, the GED may be something
you could earn this year. Please call 742-1030 to
register for this class. Of you cannot attend the'
Monday morning class, there is another freeGED
class offered atFHS on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings. Call 335-6200.

J with antiviral therapy."
Once influenza has been con-
firmed, a physician can prescribe
antiviral drugs that may reduce
the severity and duration of
.infl uenz a and help prevent the
spread of the virus to others.
Antivirals must be taken within
48 hours of the onset of symptoms
to be effective in treating the flu.
One test that has gained wide-
spread popularity among physi-cians is the Quick Vue Influenza
test; a test conducted right in ·the
doctor's office that can detect the
presence of the influenza virus in
adults and children.

What To Do When Seniors Get The Flu
VETERANS' NEWS by GALE GRACE
What Does This Mean?
Since seniors are at a higher
. risk for both getting the flu and
dying from complications of the
flu, t.he use of a rapid diagnostic'
for influenza can help, as evi-
denced by this study. Dominic
Dwyer, M.D., said, "The QuickVue"
test for influenza performed by
nursing home nurses on-site is
sensitive and highly specific and
Greetings and good day to you. Our group celebrated Veteran's Day, as our hall was full for our
traditional boiled dinner at no charge for our veterans. The State and District dignitaries were
present, some traveling a distance to be here. The kitchen crew was working hard without our
"boss" Shirley Warren, but she trained us well. Doris Forest and Dot Stiles set up the tables while
the men were in the kitchen preparing the vegetables. Dot Stiles.Dave Haney and Jeannette Haney
prepared the veggies as well, along with Gary Mosher, Ray Garland and Richard Bowden. Laterthat morning Kim Bolduc, Kaila Bolduc, Brianne Yasninski, Annabelle Yasninski, Jeanette Colpitt,
Georgiana Nason, Gale and Matthew Grace came and pulled kitchen duty. Joan Garland and Dot
Stiles baked gingerbread. A special thanks to a veteran who belongs to another legion where he
lives, traveled down to help us. Thanks Todd Yasninski!
We are fortunate that we can all work together in a manner that accomplishes many projects in
an efficient manner.
A new friend visited as well, John Pike is a recent retired veteran who saw action in Beirut,
Birain, and Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm and Desert Shield. Welcome home after 24 years of
service and a very big thank you!
Our recent Turkey Raffle was a big success thanks to a room full of supporters that came with
great attitudes and laughter. Gary Mosher worked hard in the preparation of the evening and itshowed. Thanks also to Ray Garland and Casey Howard and his son who pitched in to help. The
four complete turkey dinners were won by Harry Moulton, Dean Warren, Rebecca Howard and
Joan Garland.
Get well wishes go out to Shirley Warren and Lurene Wentworth. Ladies, feel better soon!
Try to get into the spirit of the season and do something special for others and smile while doing
it. Keep our veterans in your prayers and your hearts as they are taking care of us. God bless you
all and take care.

(NAPS)-Early dc tcct ion of
influenza is especially importantfor those at high risk, including
'residents in nursing homes. In
fact, approximately 90 percent of
the approximately 36,000 people
who die from influenza each year
in the United States are among
the elderly.
Nursing homes as well as long-
term care centers are ideal breed-
ing grounds for flu infections,
where residents are living in close
proximity to each other.
. An ongoing three-year study,
which started in 2006 and runs
until 2008, is being conducted in
Australia, where, to date, inves-tigators have noted several key
findings. Where facilities used
rapid flu tests to actively moni-
tor outbreaks and then appropri-
ately prescribed antivirals ver-
sus those facilities that employed
routine self-reporting without
the use of a rapid diagnostic test
for flu, the attack rates of resi-
dents for those using a flu test
reported a reduction from 42 per-
cent to 21 percent.
