Kestrel picks Wisconsin over Berlin Gorham Budget BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – Kestrel Aircraft has spurred efforts to attract its manufacturing plant to Berlin and yesterday Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker announced the company will establish its manufacturing plant and headquarters in that state. The project would have meant about 150 to 300 jobs in Berlin with Kestrel expected to employ up to 600 people overall. Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier called the news disappointing but said he remains confident Cate Street Capital will ultimately be successful in attracting a company to co-locate on the former paper mill site. “It’s a minor setback,” he said. “We’re just going to roll up our sleeves and keep digging.” Grenier said Kestrel’s decision did not come as a surprise since recent news reports have described efforts by Wisconsin officials to persuade Kestrel to locate the

facility in Superior, Wisconsin. Grenier noted the site is 50 miles from Kestrel’s engineering and design offices in Duluth, Michigan. Cate Street Capital spokesman Scott Tranchemontagne said his company worked on a proposal that would have the composite parts manufactured in Berlin and the turboprop plane assembled in Brunswick, Maine, where Kestrel currently has its headquarters. Kestrel had abandoned plans to build the entire plane in Brunswick because the company said it could not get the financing it needed there. By locating its manufacturing plant on the site of the Burgess BioPower biomass plant project, Kestrel would be able to take advantage of lower cost power and excess heat. The plant would also be eligible for federal New Markets Tax Credits. Tranchemontagne said Cate Street Capital thought it had come up with an attractive proposal for Kestrel. see KESTREL page 9

Committee addresses rumor of $800,000 cut BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM — The Gorham Budget Committee addressed rumors of a looming cut at a recent budget work session. The Committee continued its work recently reviewing the budgets of the town’s highway department, and finance department at meetings on Jan. 5, and 9. Much of the meetings were taken up with the department heads going over their budget proposals, with questions from the committee interspersed. There was no shortage of input from those in the audience as well, with public comment closing out each session. One of the most notable conversations was held at the close of the Jan. 5 meeting when the group was asked directly about rumors that they were planning to cut an estimated $800,000 from the budget prior to it going before the voters at town meeting. Selectman David Graham confronted the subject during the open comment period, asking that if the board is considering such a cut they do it with an thought as to where that money might come from. He told the committee that services like snow removal, recreation, and trash collection could certainly become seriously affected by such a severe cut. see RUMOR page 9

Driver arrested after snowy crash BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — The driver of a pickup truck that crashed on Main Street Thursday was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated. Police arrested Carl Fitzmorris, 34, formerly of Andover, Maine, who now resides on Seventh Street in Berlin, and charged him with driving while intoxicated after he crashed his truck at 4:55 p.m. Fitzmorris had

been traveling south on Main Street when he abruptly turned right, according to police, striking a utility pole in front of Androscoggin Valley Home Health Services. The truck came to rest against the Home Health building, but police said the pole took the brunt of the damage. Fitzmorris was released on $500 personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to appear in court on March 13.

LANCASTER — Three defendants pleaded guilty to charges they smuggled drugs into the state prison in Berlin. The pleas were made in Coos County Superior Court on Jan. 3 in front of Judge Peter Bornstein. A woman who snuck heroin in to the prison for an inmate will serve no immediate jail time for her crimes. Debra Lavoie, 48, formerly of Manchester and now of Waterford Drive, in Weymouth, Mass., pleaded guilty to delivery of articles to prisoners and acts prohibited. She delivered heroin to Jamie Eugene Lavoie at the prison in Berlin between Oct. 1 and 11, 2010. Lavoie was sentenced to one-and-a-half to three years for delivering the drugs. That sentence was suspended for five years and is concurrent to a six month jail sentence for the possession charge. The lesser jail term was deferred for one year, and suspended for two

Baseball losing its glow in Puerto Rico SAN JUAN, P.R. (NY Times) — This used to be the climax of baseball’s peak season in Puerto Rico. The storied winter league lured many of Major League Baseball’s biggest Puerto Rican stars back to the island — from Roberto Clemente and Orlando Cepeda to Roberto Alomar and Bernie Williams — and they would regularly play before tens of thousands of fans during what was otherwise their off-season. More than 250 high school students attend the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy and High School in Gurabo where days are split between classes and practice. But that scene no longer exists. Four years after being forced to cancel an entire season, the league has only four teams. And for the first time in its history, which dates to 1938, the Puerto Rican Baseball League does not have a team based in San Juan, the capital. The league’s struggles are merely the most vivid manifestation of a more profound, and surprising, phenomenon playing out here: the general decline of baseball in a place where it was long considered the national pastime, if not a religion. After decades of populating major league rosters with All-Star players at every position, Puerto Rico had only 20 players on Major League Baseball rosters on opening day last season.

Ads overwhelm the airwaves in S.C.

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

COLUMBIA, S.C. (NY Times) — They have been inescapable: growling baritone announcers and grainy images of sneering candidates. Mitt Romney is a corporate raider. Newt Gingrich’s politics are desperate and disgusting. Anyone who happened to be near a working television in South Carolina over the weekend was exposed to one of the most concentrated and expensive barrages of political advertising that this state has ever experienced.

With the traditional efforts of candidates now multiplied by the presence of the wellfinanced “super PACs” supporting them, political operatives outbid and outmaneuvered one another in a last-minute race to buy up what time remained on the airwaves between now and the state’s Republican presidential primary on Saturday. None would risk having their messages drowned out by those of their rivals. Want to advertise on “60 Minutes,” as

Romney did on Sunday? His campaign had to get WLTX, the CBS station here, to bump a super PAC that was actually running ads supporting him. It agreed to pay $3,000 for a 30-second slot — $100 a second, almost double the usual rate. Rick Santorum, running as a family-values social conservative, put his campaign’s money into the Hollywood machine he so often denounces, booking time on NBC during the Golden Globes and “30 Rock.”

Flexing muscle, Baghdad U.S. to force drug firms to report money paid to doctors detains U.S. contractors WASHINGTON (NY Times) — To head off medical conflicts of interest, the Obama administration is poised to require drug companies to disclose the payments they make to doctors for research, consulting, speaking, travel and entertainment. Many researchers have found evidence that such payments can influence doctors’ treatment decisions and contribute to higher costs by encouraging the use of more expensive drugs and medical devices. Consumer advocates and members of Congress say patients may

benefit from the new standards, being issued by the government under the new health care law. Federal officials said the disclosures increased the likelihood that doctors would make decisions in the best interests of patients, without regard to the doctors’ financial interests. Large numbers of doctors receive payments from drug and device companies every year — sometimes into the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars — in exchange for providing advice and giving lectures.

BAGHDAD (NY Times)— Iraqi authorities have detained a few hundred foreign contractors in recent weeks, industry officials say, including many Americans who work for the United States Embassy, in one of the first major signs of the Iraqi government’s asserting its sovereignty after the American troop withdrawal last month. The detentions have occurred largely at the airport in Baghdad and at checkpoints around the capital after the Iraqi authorities raised questions about the contractors’ documents, including visas, weapons permits and authorizations to drive certain routes. Although no formal charges have been filed, the detentions have lasted from a few hours to nearly three weeks. The crackdown comes amid other moves by the Iraqi government to take over functions that had been performed by the United States military and to claim areas of the country it had controlled.

Huntsman drops out of race, endorses Romney CHARLESTON, S.C. — Republican Jon Huntsman has dropped out of the GOP presidential race and has endorsed Mitt Romney. Huntsman said the former Massachusetts governor gives the Republican Party its best shot at defeating President Barack Obama in the November general election. After staking his candidacy on New Hampshire, Huntsman finished third in the primary there last week. He faced a likely defeat in South Caro-

lina’s primary on Saturday. Huntsman’s resume had suggested he could be a major contender for the GOP presidential nomination. But the former Utah governor and diplomat found a poor reception for his brand of moderate civility, which he had hoped would draw support from independents as well as Republican moderates. Huntsman announced his decision Monday in Myrtle Beach, S.C. —Courtesy of WMUR

Dartmouth marks 50 years since King lecture on campus BY MEGHAN PIERCE THE UNION LEADER

HANOVER — Dartmouth College’s observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day today includes Dartmouth’s 20th annual candlelight vigil in his honor and a visit from legendary high school football coach Herman Boone. “This is a particularly special year for our celebration because it marks the 50th anniversary of a lecture that Dr. King gave in 105 Dartmouth Hall titled ‘Towards Freedom,’” said Gabrielle Lucke, Dartmouth’s director of diversity training and educational programs and one of the organizers of the 2012 celebration, in a news release. “It’s also the 20th anniversary of the Dartmouth’s MLK candlelight vigil, hosted by Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Dr. King’s brotherhood,” she said. Boone, who was portrayed by Denzel Washington in the hit 2000 movie “Remember the Titans,” is the keynote speaker for Dartmouth’s 2012 celebration of King’s life and legacy, themed “The Content of Our Character.” In 1971, Boone led the newly integrated T.C. Williams High School football team in Alexandria, Va., to the Virginia state championship.

The now retired coach plans to talk about lessons in diversity, building and sustaining a winning teams as well as the movie based on his life. “The content of his character was thoroughly tested by the challenges he faced personally and professionally,” Lucke said. “We also felt his participation would complement Dartmouth Athletics’ Peak Performance initiative, which strives to educate our student athletes about leadership and citizenship. Hearing Coach Boone talk about character, community and teamwork will be a wonderful opportunity for students and the entire Dartmouth community.” The candlelight vigil is planned for 5 p.m. today. Participants are asked to gather on the first floor of CutterShabazz Hall. Boone is scheduled to speak in the Moore Theater at 7 p.m. Tickets are free and can be obtained from the Hopkins Center Box Office, 646-3749. The celebration of King began on Friday and is to continue until Feb. 3. A highlight of the program is the presentation of the College’s MLK Social Justice Awards on Jan. 27. A complete list of events from theatrical and dance performances, films, speeches and panel discussions is available on the Dartmouth website, www.dartmouth.edu.

I am also concerned with property rights To the editor: I was very impressed with the letter from Paul Grenier the mayor of Berlin. Obviously, he gave the matter a lot of thought, and considered the impact on the state and on the North Country. Being a landowner, I am also concerned with property rights. Also I think we should also leave our property in better shape than when we purchased it. There seems to be in my opinion a misconception, especially in the North Country that when you own a piece of land you can do anything you want with it. Including stopping a project that will have a great positive impact on the North Country and the entire state. This land was put here for mankind and not for just a few of us who were fortunate enough to gain title to some of it. Considering

that we only hold title to it for a short period in time. I think it wrong to let a few of us stop a project benefiting such a large portion if not all of our population. While I firmly believe in the right to protest, there are two quotes that fir this and all protests. One is over two thousand years old, by a Roman senator and historian. Saying don’t make decisions based merely on the opinions of the masses. The other is, if people get into situations based on lack of good reasoning all the good reasoning in the world won’t change their minds. Hopefully our legislators have had time to take a more open minded view of the benefits to communities, the entire state, and the rest of New England, and take appropriate action.

Wallyworld, a greed-driven mausoleum To the editor: It was a better place, once, before Walmart. Something got lost, something got rearranged, changed without our permission. It was like this fearless menace with its uneasy presence, came uninvited, decided to stay, throw its weight around and impose themselves on us without ever asking us what we thought. We’d seen this kind of thing before, of course, but not on this grand scale. What we did learn soon enough was that Walmart was going

to be warm and fuzzy and offer us all the necessities of life from rutabagas to mud flaps. All the good stuff we’d ever need in our wretched, happy valley lives and all of it on the cheap, too. Well, we fell for it, the whole enchilada, and we’ve been James Taylored ever since. Winter, spring, summer or fall. But we don’t have a friend. We don’t have a friendly ally wanting to blend in, help out, understand who we are, what we do, how we live. We’re predominately blue see GREED page 5

Guest Column By Paul Grenier

Energy development is key to our future: Eminent domain amendment helps

In the coming days, the New Hampshire Senate will face an important vote that will dictate the future of property rights and energy development in this state for many years to come. House Bill 648 has faced a long road in the Legislature precisely because the stakes are so high, and getting it wrong will have negative consequences on jobs and our entire state’s economy. HB 648 was specifically designed to stop the Northern Pass project, and some members of the Senate continue to seek amendments that target this project. However, if passed, this extreme approach would likely have much broader impacts on our state than just taking out the Northern Pass. As both mayor of Berlin and a Coos County commissioner, I take property rights very seriously. As an early supporter of the Northern Pass Transmission project, I have welcomed the prospect of bringing clean, renewable energy and new jobs to the Granite State. But, I have also made it clear that my support for the Northern Pass is contingent upon the project’s ability to work with and listen to landowners along the proposed route. Although it was plagued by early missteps, those of us on the ground up north have seen the project make great strides in its efforts to work with landowners. Public records in the county indicate that the project has purchased scores of properties through private negotiations. All of these land purchases have been completed without fanfare or complaints from landowners. In fact, given its willingness to work with private landowners, job opportunities and the tremendous tax benefits the project brings to communities, I would invite the project to consider a route that includes Berlin. As citizens of the North Country, we stand to gain the most from this unique opportunity, but we also have the most to lose if the project never comes to fruition. Considering this, we must strike a balance between protecting private property rights and encouraging new renewable energy projects in our state.

Renewable energy, such as wind development and biomass, is one of the few industries that has brought growth and jobs to Coos County in past years, and the reality is that efforts to target the Northern Pass also target these projects. Expansion of the “Coos Loop,” a major transmission route in northern New Hampshire, is a key pathway to future energy development in northern New Hampshire, yet the Legislature’s own studies have concluded that private investment is required to make necessary upgrades to this infrastructure. In its effort to stop the Northern Pass by targeting private investments in transmission, will state senators cut the wires to the North Country and let this engine of growth and job creation to simply be turned off? The development of low-cost energy sources is key to the future of Berlin and New Hampshire. The reality is that developing new sources of low cost energy remains a core component of a strong economy, and is critical for those of us working to attract new business and jobs to our state. The recent amendment to House Bill 648, the so-called Carson-Bradley amendment passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, accomplishes both objectives by strengthening New Hampshire’s already strong property rights laws while maintaining an environment for continued development and job creation. By making the use of eminent domain more difficult, providing increased protections for landowners and requiring private negotiations before eminent domain could even be proposed, the amendment provides a win-win for landowners, ratepayers, and the economy of our state. Considering our struggling economy and desperate need for jobs, state senators would be wise to embrace this policy that adds protections for landowners but maintains the opportunity for future energy development and necessary upgrades to our aging electric infrastructure. (Paul Grenier is the mayor of Berlin and a Coos County commissioner.)

Want good service? Go to the IGA Foodliner To the editor: Last Saturday, I decided to do my groceries at IGA in Berlin. They were having a sale, so I said, what the heck. Let me tell you, their shelves are stocked and prices are competitive. They have a meat cutter who actually talks to the customers. Workers are helpful and it was easy to find what I was looking for. When I was checking out the lady at the register called for baggers. My groceries were packed and much to my surprise, a young man brought my groceries to my car! Service! Some-

thing that has been lacking from super stores that only care about production. Local stores are the way to go. It helps the community all around. I am not talking about chain stores. I am talking about store owners who live here and so do their families. How nice it would be to see more stores and shops opening in Berlin and Gorham. It is not impossible if we all consider to shop more in our own towns. Colleen Howland Berlin

Please help make a difference in a child’s life To the editor: Foster children come from your town, your neighborhood, and your school. They are friends of your child, members of your church, and kids on your little league team. They are babies, toddlers, school-aged kids, and teenagers. They are brothers and sisters who need to stay together. Due to a situation beyond their control, they have to be displaced from their homes and put into a temporary home. They need support, guidance and love. They need a safe place to call home while their family works to put itself back together. Are you able to make a difference in a child’s life? Are

you able to open your home to a child from your community – enabling them to remain in a familiar school, with familiar friends? There is a real need for foster homes in the Coos County area. If you’ve ever thought about becoming a foster parent, now is the time to call. You decide what you can handle. Classes will be running in your area starting January 31, 2012 and they are free to attend, come join us. If you’d like to learn more about the foster care program, please contact Linda A.

to the last three questions? No, no, no. The six head honchos of the Walton family have a combined net, worth of almost 100 billion dollars according to Forbes Magazine. Now unless they plan to purchase the country of Zimbabwe any time soon, it might be prudent for them to show a little heart, ease up on the whip a little and actually display how friendly they really can be. Not likely to happen. Maybe in this rocky economy managers like Travis Smith are directed to crack that whip more often, get that profit margin up, up, up. Maybe there’s a bonus in it for them, too, who knows? Anyway, to either past or current employees who believe that Wallyworld is a wonderful, invigorating, blessed environment in which to work, keep those wide, adoring eyes wide open. To those of you stuck working in that greed-driven mausoleum, my prayers and well wishes go out to you. Far as I know, Walmart isn’t breaking any laws. It is, in fact, a standard in corporate America on how to succeed in this great country. Only in America, right? God bless ‘em. Its just, well, how they did it that bothers me. No matter, they’ve come, set up shop and they ain’t leaving. Shucks. Alan Peabody Shelburne

It swims in the dark, deep waters of the corporate business world and attacks smaller fish, chews them up, spits out bare bones and leaves them fighting for survival. Why else would it stockpile its’ shelves with nearly every product under the sun less snow-belted tires, caskets and adult toys? Short answer: profits. As the billions and billions of dollars are deposited in the Walton family vault, is any thought ever given to the fiscal impact on those smaller fish that got chewed up while the zillions in annual sales were being reaped? Has any management team from Bentonville ever sat down with area businesses and asked how Walmart might be able to more peacefully coexist in our community? Does Wallyworld really give two poops about the overall health and welfare of its employees if they use minimum wage as its starting point for lower tier pay scales? My uneducated guess

Gorham auditorium gets stately name GORHAM — The Gorham Board of Selectmen recently approved a new name for the auditorium located in the renovated town hall; The Medallion Opera House. Work first began on the Opera House in April of 1915. In June of that same year the first motion pictures were shown – James O’Neil in The Count of Monte Cristo and Mary Pickford in The Eagles Mate – the charge was ten cents for children and fifteen cents for adults. With such a great history, the Gorham Auditorium Committee suggested a name that recognized the historical aspects along with the eight-foot ceiling medallion, an architectural feature that captures your eye as soon as you enter the theater. The Medallion Opera House is now booking many exciting events for the 2012 season, including a benefit concert featuring Red Gallagher for the White Mountain Rotary Club’s Local Scholarship Funds on Saturday, February 11; hosting two GUILTY from page one

Relay For Life of Berlin/Gorham kick-off rally scheduled for Jan. 30 BERLIN/GORHAM -- On Monday, January 30, (snow date Feb 6), the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Berlin/Gorham will officially get underway as cancer survivors, caregivers, families, schools, companies, faith-based and civic organizations gather at Androscoggin Valley Hospital at 5:30 p.m. for a kick-off rally to launch their fundraising efforts for the year. Anyone interested in forming a team, volunteering for the event, joining the planning committee, or just learning more about Relay For Life is encouraged to attend. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. People from all walks of life come together with a shared mission of furthering the American Cancer Society’s vision of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays. At Relay, teams of people camp out and take turns walking or running around a track. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites during Relay. In 2011, the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life of Berlin/Gorham raised over $87,500 and touched the lives of over 300 participants and contributors. On June 16, and 17, the 15th anual event will be held at the Gorham Common, Gorham and hopes to raise $90,000. Relay For Life events last year enabled the American Cancer Society to impact the lives of those touched by cancer within the community by supporting vital, cutting-edge cancer

research; providing cancer patients with services such as transportation to treatment, free lodging at our Hope Lodge, and round the clock support at our national cancer information center available at 1-800-227-2345 anytime, day or night; publishing lifesaving literature on cancer prevention, detection and tobacco control; and developing a new generation of medicines that help those battling cancer. For more information about the Relay For Life of Berlin/Gorham, to find out how to volunteer, or for info about the Relay Kick-off, please contact Co-Chairs, Allison White at 603466-5015 or allisonwhite43@yahoo. com or Lucinda Bragg at 603-9860396 or webraggs@yahoo.com. More information can also be found at www. relayforlife.org/berlingorhamnh. The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, the Society fights for every birthday threatened by every cancer in the community. It saves lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.6 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. To learn more about the American Cancer Society or to get help, call anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

Colorful works by Asa Brosnan on display at AVH Asa Brosnan

BERLIN -- The Androscoggin Valley Hospital Auxiliary has announced that an outstanding graphic exhibit by noted artist Asa Brosnan is currently on display at AVH as part of the ongoing Rotating Art Program. Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Brosnan now resides in Shelburne, New Hampshire. She has traveled to many parts of the world including Europe and the Middle East. While living in Israel, she met her husband, Mike Brosnan. Mike is a Social Studies teacher at Gorham Middle/High School. They lived in Stockholm for eight years before moving to New Hampshire with their three young children, Nick, Hakan and Emma. In the ‘70s while still in Sweden, Brosnan began her studies in art by attending an art school. It is evident that she studied hard, as her work reflects quality and craftsmanship.

Even while working, studying, and raising a family, she was able to fit her love for painting into her life. Brosnan says that she is “inspired by the buildings as they are seen at different hours of the day and in different light.” This inspiration is clearly shown in her exquisite creations. “I hope to convey to the viewer the sculptural beauty I see in something ordinary in our midst,” said Brosnan. Included in the exhibit currently being shown at AVH, are impressions from her travels in Sweden and Wyoming. Brosnan’s art has also been on display locally including at The Family Resource Center in Gorham. Brosnan’s work is an excellent way to start the 2012 Rotating Art’s Program, said auxiliary officials. This outstanding exhibit by Brosnan will be on display until February 10.

RUMOR from page one

money.” One member of the audience who identified himself as a town employee said he’s like to hold Holmes to the statement that cuts could be made without hurting anybody. Glen Eastman also expressed concern about the possibility of a large budget cut at the committee level taking the power away from the voters. He shared his opinion that a cut of that size would bring the town portion of the tax rate back to roughly last year’s rate, but believes the power should lie with the town meeting not a small committee. “I don’t think this body has the right to take away my right and others’ to deprive them of services,” he said, noting that a large cut would have a definite impact on town services.

money going back to the company as an incentive. Grenier noted the state of New Hampshire does not provide those kinds of incentives. Both Tranchemontagne and Grenier said they remain optimistic that Cate Street Capital will be successful in marketing the former mill site. “It’s still a very attractive site,” said Tranchemontagne. He said there is a dedicated labor force, supportive city and state governments, and the availability of New Market Tax Credits. “We’re talking to a handful of companies now that might come to fruition,” he said. Grenier said Cate Street Capital President John Halle is working hard and predicted he will ultimately succeed. In the meantime, Grenier said the city will focus on helping struggling local companies, particularly the Isaacson Steel Companies. “The city will play some role in helping bring Isaacson out of bankruptcy,” he said.

Committee chairman Bruce Lary, assured Graham that the board had not discussed any such cut. “This board as a whole has not discussed an $800,000 cut,” he said. Committee member Jay Holmes, said he believes the rumor is left over from the 2011 budget discussion. Noting that he spoke on behalf of only himself and not the committee, Holmes said that he was flattered that people think he has that much power. He added that people have come up to him saying the more they think about it the closer they get to thinking he may have been right to propose such a drastic cut last year in light of the skyrocketing tax rate. “Cuts need to be made,” Holmes said. “There are ways to cut some money without hurting anybody, maybe not $800,000, but some

“We were working very closely with the state of Maine and the state of New Hampshire to make it very attractive for Kestrel to keep its headquarters in Brunswick and its manufacturing in Berlin,” he said. Tranchemontagne said Cate Street Capital thought its proposal was the best but noted that Kestrel apparently saw it different. “We did everything we could,” he said. Grenier said Wisconsin put together what its governor described as an aggressive package to attract Kestrel. In a press release, Walker said the state would create an enterprise zone in Superior that would provide $18 million in tax credits and make available $4 million in low cost loans. A state economic development agency would work to obtain $30 million in New Market Tax Credits for the project. County officials also set up a deal to sell Kestrel a 13-acre parcel of land for $500,000, with some of the

According to the state statute empowering municipal budget committees — RSA 32:18 — once the committee recommends the annual appropriation (including warrant articles) to go before the voters, the legislative body (town meeting) can raise that amount by no more than 10 percent. This means that if the selectmen recommend a $3.8 million town budget (including special warrant articles) and the budget committee were to recommend the budget at $800,000 less, the voters could only add back 10 percent of the total, or $300,000, on the floor at town meeting if they disagreed. Eastman said he was opposed to the potential of the committee taking that other money out of the voters’ consideration. While some objected to the pos-

sibility of cuts to what they said is already a responsible budget, and the committee denied the rumor, others spoke in favor of thoughtful consideration. Ron Dinardo said he was tired of the rhetoric and ambiguities. He also said an article in the newspaper that day reporting an increase in certain crimes in Gorham was in his opinion “scare tactics.” “Gotta admit we’re all having a hard time here...bottom line is taxpayers are hurting,” Dinardo said. “Stop the scare tactics and let’s get down to basics. The budget committee is scheduled to make its final decision on recommending a 2012 budget at the budget hearing on Feb. 8. That hearing will be held at the town hall at 6:30 p.m.

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll catch your loved ones doing something right and give spontaneous and enthusiastic praise. You’ll make someone happy while paving the way for the stellar results in the future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you are tenacious enough, you will have a breakthrough today. If the first or second attempt fails, you’ll use what you learn, adjust the plan and go for round three. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The more people you know, the luckier you’ll be. Smile and say “Hi.” Also, ask friends to introduce you to the people they know. New contacts will be the catalyst for a windfall or romance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No one develops alone. You’ll enjoy letting others know what you’ve learned from them. And you’ll continue to let new connections help launch and support your growth. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Look for the good news hidden in the bad. Maybe it will only amount to a speck of sunshine, but that’s enough to illuminate other pieces of goodness and change the way everyone sees things. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 17). Your personal life blossoms as you assert yourself. Refuse to be put on the spot. Give yourself plenty of time and space to make major decisions. You’ll advance projects having to do with communication and closing the gaps between people. March features domestic upgrades. You’ll win money in June. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 12, 22, 6 and 19.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may feel out of sync with the people around you. You like people, but social connections are not your main source of happiness right now. Solitude has a way of centering you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you expect yourself to be an expert right out of the gate, you’ll only set yourself up for disappointment. False starts and reversed directions are a key part of your learning process. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be critical to the success of a team. You will be motivated by intangible rewards. Being recognized for something you do well may be an even better reward of your efforts than money. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be at ease when considering other people’s viewpoints, a sign of maturity and sophistication that won’t go unnoticed by equally mature and sophisticated individuals. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A touch of restlessness might put you in a shopping mood, although it’s not a great time for it. You will be much better off consolidating what you have instead of buying more. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The group won’t seem to know what they are doing, but the collective intelligence of the group is higher than you think. Besides, going solo may be a good way to get lost today. So stick together. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In order to stay abreast of the competition, you’ll figure out what your competitors are doing and why. It’s also a good time to seek and implement new technologies for improving efficiency and output.

by Abigail Van Buren

DAUGHTER COULD USE COUNSELING TO COPE WITH CONTROLLING MOM

DEAR ABBY: I’m 23, the only child of a controlling, paranoid, hermit-like and hyper-religious mother and a peaceloving, passive father. I graduated from college last year. Shortly after, my boyfriend and I accepted dream jobs in the same town several hours away from my parents. Mom was appalled. She “warned” me that I wouldn’t last and would come home. Instead, I have embraced my new city and job. Mom is at her wits’ end. When I mentioned that my boyfriend had recorded a movie for me, she said he was controlling me via technology. If I tell her about a project I initiated at work, she says my employer is taking advantage of me. Mom pays for a landline in my apartment that I don’t want, but she insists because she’s convinced that cellphones cause cancer. She calls me constantly, and if I don’t answer she leaves frantic messages about how “disrespectful” I am, and how she and Dad are “praying for my soul.” This has gotten out of control. I try talking to her, but she won’t listen and laughs at the idea of counseling. She says it’s her “job” to tell me what to do. My father agrees that her behavior and approach are wrong, but says she has good intentions and I need to “work with her.” Abby, I don’t know what to do. She’s becoming increasingly controlling and worried about my soul. I’m worried that my distance is affecting her health. Some advice, please! -- WANTS A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH MOM DEAR WANTS: If you return home because you’re afraid having moved away and asserting your independence is negatively affecting your mother’s health, you will never have a life of your own. Because she laughs at the idea of counseling

doesn’t mean that YOU shouldn’t get some in order to help you separate yourself from her constant efforts to manipulate you. Her dependence on you is not normal. That’s why you should enlist the help of a mental health professional. It will give you some insight in how to deal with her. If you try to “work with her” without that help, she will suck you in and you will never be free. DEAR ABBY: I have very nice neighbors who believe in leaving the wild and natural growth on their property. They have posted a sign that claims it to be a “certified natural habitat.” They never weed or cut anything back. At first, it was cared for, but now it has become an eyesore, and people who visit our house have made comments. I have tried to grow border plants to hide the mess, but nothing seems to help. I believe it affects the value of our home. My husband doesn’t want me to say anything for fear of hurting their feelings. They’re nice people, but we don’t live in a rural area where this might be more acceptable. Have you any suggestions? -- THORN IN OUR SIDE DEAR THORN: Yes. Who certified your neighbors’ yard as a “natural habitat”? The city? If so, call City Hall and find out if their yard still qualifies. What you have described may be a fire hazard, so some investigation may be in order. If there is a homeowners association in your neighborhood, it should also be contacted to ensure their house is in compliance with the codes, covenants and restrictions. If necessary, someone who is close to these neighbors should volunteer to “help” them with their yard. A natural landscape can be beautiful, but only if it’s properly maintained.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at: Dear Abby, c/o The Conway Daily Sun, PO Box 1940, North Conway, NH 03860

Aldrich’s double double pushes Berlin past Kennett, 78-56 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

CONWAY--Berlin senior Sam Aldrich scored 19 points and hauled down 15 rebounds, helping the Mountaineers to a 78-56 victory over Division II foe Kennett in Conway recently. The win kept the Mountaineers a perfect 8-0 on the winter. The game itself featured the up-tempo offensive style of basketball and had the Mountaineers and Eagles tied 16-16 at the end of the first quarter. Curtis Arsenault scored nine points for Berlin. Kennett’s Brandon DiLucchio, just a freshman, netted five points and team mate Mike Lautenschlager four points, which kept the Eagles even with the Mounties. The Berlin boys out scored the Eagles 21-16 in

season victory. Senior Zach Bacon and Arsenault both had six points in the final quarter for the Mountaineers. The Eagles’ Starkey had five points for the home team. “Sam Aldrich had a monster game with 19 points and 15 rebounds,” said Berlin head coach Don Picard. “He was a force on the boards at both ends. Sam had an efficient shooting night going 6 for 9 from the field and 7 of 9 from the free throw line. He has continued to play solid around the basket. Offensively we were able to get good looks all night. Our ball movement was solid. We were active on the offensive glass. It was nice to see Zack Bacon reach double figures for the first time this year. He is such a hard working kid and does so many things see BERLIN page 14

The Eagles got five points from Ryan Vajentic and three points each from Milford, Lautenschlager, and Starkey. Living on the strength of the three-point shot can catch up to you if your shooting game is off. In the third quarter, Berlin separated themselves from the Eagles by putting up a 23-10 quarter to lead 60-42. Aldrich eight, Arsenault and Jake Drouin five points each, helped Berlin to their lead.

Ninth straight win for Berlin boys’ basketball, 70-53 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

WHITEFIELD-- The Berlin boys’ basketball team got off to a quick start and then cruised to their ninth straight win defeating White Mountains 70-53 in a boys’ Division III basketball game in Whitefield Saturday. Zach Bacon and Dimitri Giannos scored six points each in the first quarter, allowing the visiting Mountaineers to jump out to a 21-8 first quarter lead. Riley Hartshorn scored six of his teams’ eight points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the home team Spartans began to heat up from long range. Yiram Villanueva had a pair of three point shots scoring a total of nine points to keep his team within striking distance at 40-28 by half time. Senior Curtis Arsenault scored nine points and Bacon added another pair hoops to his growing total. Berlin put some breathing room between themselves and the Spartans in the third quarter by limiting the home team to just nine points. Senior Jake Drouin began to heat up from the outside scoring eight points on a pair of tri-fectors and a hoop. Arsenault added a pair of buckets to push the Berlin advantage to 56-37 at the end of three quarters of play. Villanueva had five points for the Spartans. The final quarter of play became

ragged, with a lot of fouls. The Berlin coaching staff pulled their starters by quarter’s end, only to be matched by the Spartans going to a full court press with their starters still in the game. Drouin netted another five points and senior forward Sam Aldrich had two hoops on the inside for the Mounties. Josbert Villanueva hit two three pointers for White Mountains. The Spartans were led in scoring by Yiram Villanueve’s 18 points. Reed Doolan chipped in with 14 markers for the home team. The Mountaineers had four players in double digits. Arsenault 19, Drouin 15, Bacon and Giannos ten each, provided the bulk of the offense. The Berlin boys will now get a stretch of four straight home games, beginning with Kennett High School on Tuesday evening and then hosting Franklin on Friday.

Berlin Lady Sabres send Hudson Cyclones spinning BERLIN -- The Berlin Under 12 Lady Sabres began their new year off with a bang! The girls came out strong recently, played hard and worked as a team the entire game. The passing was terrific and the shots on net astounding. At 9:41 in the first period, Rylie

Binette set the wave in motion with Berlin’s first goal for a 1-0 lead. She was assisted by Mickailey Walsh. The Cyclones put up a good fight and matched Berlin’s first goal with 3:35 left in the period as Shannon Paquette rang the pipes. see LADY SABRES page 15

We will have to work at closing out on the shooters and not allowing so many good looks at the basket.” Kennett shot an efficient 23-42 from the field and a strong 9-16 from the three point line. However, they settled for the outside shot and went to the foul just five times converting one shot. Starkey had 16 points for the Eagles. The Mounties put up an amazing 60 shots, converting on the field goals 30 times. Berlin was just 5-24 from three point land and a sound

Spartans rough up Lady Mountaineers, 69-26 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

WHITEFIELD--Spartan center Bryanna Bennett poured in 19 points leading White Mountain Regional High School to a decisive 69-26 victory over Berlin in a girls’ Division III basketball game in Whitefield Saturday. The Lady Spartans were coming off their first loss of the season against Littleton earlier in the week. The Berlin girls were on the receiving end of some frustration. The Spartans came out clicking on all cylinders and led 23-1 after one quarter of play. Bennett had three hoops to pace her team. Monique Demers converted one of two foul shots for the Berlin scoring. By the end of the second quarter, White Mountains extended their lead to 40-13. Bennett tossed home another nine markers for the home team. Berlin freshman Jill Williams came off the Berlin bench to net three hoops for the Mounties. The second half did not change much for the Berlin girls. Berlin struggled with the Regional’s 1-3-1 defense. Too many turnovers hurt the Mountaineer cause. The Mounties were out-pointed 29-13 to make the final score 69-26. Kaitlin Wood

had three hoops and teammate Brennah Couture added five points to pace the Spartans. Senior Erin Holt hit a couple of three point shots and finished the second half with seven points for Berlin. For the game, The Spartans had ten players get into the scoring column by converting 31 shots from the floor and netting 7-15 from the free throw line. Bennett finished with a game high 19 points, with Couture next at eleven points. Berlin had eleven field goals and shot 2-4 from the foul line. Holt led the Berlin offense at nine points. The Lady Mountaineers will go on the road to Conway on Tuesday to take on the Lady Eagles at 6:30 PM. Berlin 01 12 04 09 26 Kennett 23 17 13 16 69 Mounties (26)- Hood, Thagourus 1-0-2, Demers 0-1-1, Couture, Bunnell 2-0-4, Goupil, Holt 3-1-9, Lefebvre 1-0-2, O’Neil 1-0-2, Arsenault, Williams 3-0-6.

team as the tournament season draws near. Working the ice, the Lady Sabres sent a total of 38 shots onto the Cyclone’s net. Working hard together to make that happen were: Rylie Binette, Alyson Blanchette, Maria Frenette, Jacqui Hallisey, Rebecca Host, Jillian Lefebvre, Becca Pouliot, Ella Roberge, Amber Roy-Stewart, Emma and Sophia Shoenbeck, Molly Sloane, and Mickailey Walsh. Keeping the score to only one for the Cyclones can be credited to Lauren Frenette in goal with a total of 10 saves. Injured, but present and loudly cheering her team on was Kate Host.

In the second period, shots continued to be fired, as Berlin’s offense got a workout. Finally with only 1:38 left in the period, Amber Roy-Stewart sunk a shot to make it 2-1. The remainder of the action made the board in the third period. Emma Schoenbeck scored an insurance goal with 3:41 left in the period, assisted by Amber Roy-Stewart. Just a little over a minute later with 2:15 left in the period, Rylie Binette launched the puck past the Cyclones goalie. Assisting on the Binette goal was Emma Schoenbeck. The 4-1 win was an important achievement for the
