City seeks grant to assess and clean-up former Bass Shoe building BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN –Vacant for close to 24 years, the former Bass Shoe property has fallen into city ownership and the city council is set to approve a $400,000 grant application to assess and clean-up the property. Housing Coordinators Linda White and Andre Caron report the city acquired the 11-acre property last May for non-payment of taxes. White presented an application for a $400,000 federal Environmental Protection Agency Brownfields MultiPurpose Pilot Grant to the city council Monday. The grant would provide $200,000 for assessment work and $200,000 for clean-up. The city would have to provide a 20 percent match for the assessment portion of the grant or $40,000. The match would come out of the city’s 2012 Housing Initiative fund. The city council held a first reading of a resolution authorizing the application and has scheduled a public

hearing and final vote for the Feb. 6 council meeting. The Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority gave the proposal its support at the board’s monthly meeting last week. The city has already has a Phase-I assessment of the building underway. The Phase I assessment documents the historical use of the property and identifies potential issues. Caron said there is no record of significant hazardous issues with the building. The grant would fund a more detailed Phase II assessment, which determines what hazardous materials are in the building and what it would cost to abate them. The assessment potion of the grant can also be used for clean-up planning. Once the assessment is complete, the clean-up portion of the grant would be used to abate all hazardous materials in the building. White said as part of the application, the city must show interest and commitment to redeveloping the propsee GRANT page 7 Dick Dupont, a heavy equipment operator with the Nelson Company of Conway, positions boulders on the washed out bank of the Peabody River recently in an effort to repair damage done by Tropical Storm Irene in August.

GORHAM — Banks eroded by August flooding as a result of Tropical Storm Irene are in the process of being repaired. Two areas on White Birch Lane along the Peabody River, as well as the bank along Libby Field have workers on hand to stabilize the shorelines that were damaged and mitigate future damage from similar events. Gorham Town Manager Robin Frost said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been reimbursing the town for 75 percent of the repair costs as needed. “We’re getting funding as we send bills in,”

Frost said. The town is responsible for the remaining 25 percent cost. At the southern end of White Birch Lane a berm was constructed near the bend in the river to help prevent the overflow situation that caused the Peabody River to jump its bank and wash out a portion of White Birch Lane. At the northern end of White Birch Lane, a bank that was eroded along the roadway was stabilized with large boulders. Frost said that FEMA approved funding to repair White Birch Lane itself as well, so a change order was put through with the Nelson Company of Conway, who was awarded the contract.

(NY Times) — Young couples have long signaled their devotion to each other by various means — the gift of a letterman jacket, or an exchange of class rings or ID bracelets. Best friends share locker combinations. The digital era has given rise to a more intimate custom. It has become fashionable for young people to express their affection for each other by sharing their passwords to e-mail, Facebook and other accounts. Boyfriends and girlfriends sometimes even create identical passwords, and let each other read their private e-mails and texts. They say they know such digital entanglements are risky, because a souring relationship can lead to people using online secrets against each other. But that, they say, is part of what makes the symbolism of the shared password so powerful. “It’s a sign of trust,” Tiffany Carandang, a high school senior in San Francisco, said of the decision she and her boyfriend made several months ago to share passwords for e-mail and Facebook. “I have nothing to hide from him, and he has nothing to hide from me.” It doesn’t always end so well, of course. Changing a password is simple, but students, counselors and parents say that damage is often done before a password is changed, or that the sharing of online lives can be the reason a relationship falters.

Web protests piracy bills, Senators change course

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

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Online protests on Wednesday quickly cut into Congressional support for anti-Web piracy measures as lawmakers abandoned and rethought their backing for legislation that pitted new media interests against some of the most powerful old-line commercial interests in Washington. A freshman senator, Marco

Rubio of Florida, a rising Republican star, was first out of the starting gate Wednesday morning with his announcement that he would no longer back anti-Internet piracy legislation he had co-sponsored. Senator John Cornyn, the Texas Republican who heads the campaign operation for his party, quickly followed suit and urged Congress take more time to study

the measure that had been set for a test vote next week. Cornyn posted on his Facebook page that it was “better to get this done right rather than fast and wrong. Stealing content is theft, plain and simple, but concerns about unintended damage to the Internet and innovation in the tech sector require a more thoughtful balance, which will take more time.”

Israel says no decision yet to attack Iran JERUSALEM (NY Times) — Defense Minister Ehud Barak of Israel said on Wednesday that any decision on attacking Iran because of its nuclear program was “very far off,” apparently seeking to lower the tone of increasingly nervous discourse as powers maneuver in advance of European moves to intensify sanctions against Tehran. At the same time, Foreign Minister Sergey V. Lavrov of Russia renewed his country’s aversion to sanctions and military threats against Tehran, while Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi of Iran said his country was ready to resume negotiations

with the outside powers — Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States — trying to broker a settlement. Salehi said during a visit to Turkey on Wednesday that negotiations were under way about the venue and date, Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency reported, and that the talks “will most probably be held in Istanbul.” The previous negotiations — also in Istanbul — broke off a year ago when Iran presented its own set of preconditions, including a lifting of sanctions, that the West considered unacceptable.

Officials: State Department put pipeline on hold

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama on Wednesday rejected for now the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline, saying the $7 billion project could not be adequately reviewed within the 60-day deadline set by Congress. While the president’s action does not preclude later approval of the project, it sets up a partisan fight over energy, jobs and regulation that could persist through the November election. The president said his hand had been forced by Republicans in Congress, who inserted a provision in the temporary payroll tax cut bill passed in December giving the administration 60 days to decide the fate of the 1,700-mile pipeline, which is to run from oil sands formations in Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the Gulf Coast. The State Department, which has authority over the project since it crosses an international border, said that there was not enough time to draw a new route and assess the potential environmental harm to sensitive grasslands and aquifers along its path. The agency recommended that the permit be denied, and Obama concurred.

Sean Doherty continues to shine on the biathlon stage BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

INNSBRUCK, Austria — Sean Doherty is having no trouble adjusting to being on the world's biggest stage when it comes to competing in the biathlon. The 16-year-old from Conway has been the top American in two biathlon events this week at the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria. Competing against top athletes between the ages of 14-18, Doherty, who is the oldest of two sons of Mary and Dan Doherty of Conway, has more than held his own, placing 12th in Sunday's 7.5K sprint and then 14th in the longer 10K pursuit on Monday. "The 10-day event is pretty impressive, just like the real Olympic Games, except only two athletes (not four) qualify for each individual sport," said Doug Armstrong, of Mount Washington Nordic. "Sean was awesome (Sunday) with a 12th place in the 7.5 kilometer Sprint in a field of 50. Monday's race is a 10k Pursuit, so (Sunday's) time sets him up for a staggered start of 1:26 behind the leader. That event has to be so exciting for spectators!" In Sunday's 7.5K Sprint, Fangming Cheng, of China, won the race in 19:21.7. Estonia's Rene Zahkna was second, 19:43; while Aristide Begue, of France, rounded out the top three in 19:48.5. Doherty, a junior at Kennett High School, was the top American finishing 12th in 20:47.5. Teammate Nick Proell was 32nd in a field of 50 athletes in 22:21.8. In Monday's 10K pursuit, Niklas Homberg, of Germany, posted the winning time of 28:43.1 while Zahkna claimed second again in 28:52.6, and Cheng was third, 28:57.7. Doherty was again the top American finisher, placing 14th overall out of 49 skiers in 31:44.3 while Proell was 40th in 36:03.6. Both Doherty and Proell will be in final event, skiing in the mixed relay on Thursday with fellow Americans Anna Kubek and Aleksandra Zakrzewska. The two men will each ski 7.5K and two women each ski 6K. Biathlon combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. The skiing part of biathlon requires excellent endurance skills, while the shooting component demands accuracy and controlled precision. In biathlon the objective is to complete the course in the shortest amount of time possible. Time penalties can be avoided by hitting targets in the shooting sections. Biathletes shoot a .22 calibre (5.6mm) smallbore rifle, alternating between prone and standing positions. The size of the target varies depending on the shooting position. In the Sprint and Mixed Relay events athletes shoot twice, first prone then standing; in the Pursuit event athletes shoot four times, twice prone and twice standing. This is the first year of the Youth Olympic Games, which run Jan. 13-22. The Games essentially are

modeled after the Winter and Summer Olympics. According to its website (http:// www.innsbruck2012.com), "The Youth Olympic Games bring together 1,059 top athletes aged 14 to 18 from over 60 nations to compete in the seven sports which will also be represented at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. As well as the sporting competitions themselves, these young athletes will also have the chance to participate in a Culture and Education Program (CEP) designed to raise participants’ awareness of the Olympic values and address topics including Olympism, skills development, well-being and healthy living, social responsibility and expression through digital media. With youngsters from the local region also invited to be a part of this cultural initiative, the CEP is set to be the platform for an intercultural exchange of opinions and experiences, transforming the first Winter Youth Olympic Games into a unique festival of sport and culture." Doherty, who has been skiing Nordic and alpine since he was 4 and learned to skate ski when he was 7, is no stranger to the international stage. Last February, Doherty made the most of his opportunity at the International Biathlon UnionYouth/Junior World Biathlon Championships at Nove Mesto in the Czech Republic. The talented athlete was the top U.S. finisher in two of the three races he skied — the accomplishment was all the more impressive when you consider he was two years younger than the official youth age. Doherty, then at the age of 15, finished 50th, 37th and 65th in individual events and was one of three Americans (Casey Smith and Sam

Dougherty) entered in 3X7.5K relay. There were 19 nations competing in the final event of the championships in the youth men division with the U.S. finishing 12th. Doherty is intrigued by biathlon because it is a sport that rewards experience: The older you get, the better you get as you learn strategies and condition your body. “Biathlon interested me for the added challenge it offers,” he said in a February interview with The Conway Daily Sun. “It's a completely different aspect: You're skiing with a rifle on your back, and then you come in to the range and shoot.” Is it easier now to compete in high school races, skiing without a rifle on his back? “Yeah,” he said, laughing, “regular skiing does seem more simple now. The whole marksmanship thing (with biathlon racing) is so complicated, but with regular skiing, you don't have to worry about it. You just ski!” Hooked on the sport, Doherty said he attended a couple of Maine Winter Sports Center camps to hone his technique and now works with Algis Shalna (1984 Lithuanian Olympic gold medalist, who is now who is the head coach of U.S. Biathlon) in Jericho, Vermont. He's also a member of the Saratoga Biathlon Club, Mount Washington Nordic and Eastern Slope Ski Club. “I do love competing, all of it,” Doherty, now in his fifth year of racing biathlon, said. “I enjoy high school racing, skate skiing and classical, but I really like all that's involved with biathlon: the skiing, the shooting, the goal to be consistent at all that you do on the course. "I don’t feel I have limited resources living where I do," he

added. "I get great support from my local clubs, and support with training through the USBA and the National Guard in Jericho Vt. I still race for my high school when I can and really enjoy all kinds of local races when they are available." Working with Shalna has created a special bond for Doherty. “I enjoy working with him," he told The Sun. "We have a great skiercoach relationship. He's really good at the mental side of things; of dealing with the stress of competing, of calming your heart rate and trying to hit an Oreo 50 meters away. You have to breathe all the same. It's all about coming into the range, putting your poles down into the same place and taking your (.22) rifle off the same efficient way. Consistency is what you're trying to work for.” Doherty was the first member of the American biathlon team selected to go to the Games. He was looking forward to competing. "It will be pretty exciting to go to Austria and be part of the first Youth Olympic Games," he told FasterSkier.com. "I just want to race at the highest level. That’s why I’m going there." Longtime former Kennett High ski coach Chuck Broomhall says that 15-year-old Sean Doherty is “the spitting image” of three-time Mount Washington cross-country skiing Olympian Carl Swenson at the same age and believes that “the sky is the limit for Sean" in the sport. Armstrong said there are also YouTube videos on the same Youth Olympic Games website, so you see some of the action eventually. If you click on an event, as many as six reports pop up for each, including start lists and results. Go to http:// www.innsbruck2012.com/en/sports/ disciplines/biathlon

Let’s hope 2012 brings positive change To the editor: Greetings again! 2012 is here; let’s hope it will bring positive changes to us all. I would like to share some of my quotes from our founding fathers, which are contrary to a letter of December 29. Thomas Jefferson, 1781: Quote, “God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.” Unquote. Traditional Values Coalition. John Adams, 1756: “Suppose a nation in some distant region should take The Bible for their only Law Book and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited ... What a paradise would this region be!” Traditional Values Coalition James Madison: Wrote, “We have staked the whole future of American civilization ... upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves ... according to the Ten Commandments of God.” Citizen United.

records. In this building visitors can find religious imagery and historical documents that illustrates America’s Christian heritage. In the National Archives, image of The Ten Commandments engraved in bronze, encased nearby is an original copy of the Declaration of Independence, which contains four references to God as Lawmaker, Creator, Supreme Judge, and Protector. Awesome! Webster’s Dictionary defines Christian as “A believer and follower of the teachings of Jesus.” A person who is filled with hate, bigotry, and slaughter, is not a Christian, this is a Lawbreaker. Since prayer has been taken out of schools, and many families who do not teach right from wrong, our precious children are robbed of a decent life, I hate to say it, abused, molested, not knowing what to do, nor where to go, turn to abortion, alcohol, drugs, suicide, and worse. If they survive, the cycle keeps on. Can you see the importance of prayer, and yielding ourselves to observe The Ten Commandments. Good news, there is a way, and that’s humbly turning to Jesus, right there in your prayer closet. How can another human being really understand and know you so very well, Jesus does, is able, and knows just what to do for you. Diane T. Taupier Berlin

Old Sister of Mercy home

Poof Tardiff

Once upon a Berlin Time

1964 VII

Hello fellow Berlinites. I thought that this would be my last story about the history of Berlin in 1964, but I just don’t have enough room. In the beginning of October 1964, the job of putting 16 million feet of wire under Berlin’s streets got started. It was a major step in getting the city ready for the conversion of “number please” to the dial system. This was scheduled to take place in June of 1965. All the major lines were run from the new building on the corner of Emery and High street. New England Telephone said that it was going to use 21,962 feet of Brown Company’s conduit (Bermico pipe). New manholes had to be put in on certain streets with the duct system being installed by Brannen Incorporated of the city. This underground work was only part of the big cable job that had been going on here for several years, including underground wires on Main Street and installation of new cable in many different parts of Berlin. I wonder if this cable is still in place. I believe that it has all been modernized and the Bermico pipe is Roger Gagnon probably long gone. Once the Saint Patrick High School closed its doors in 1964, the building was completely remodeled as a residence for the Sisters of Mercy. Their house, which once stood on the corner of Willard and Emery Streets, was now moved to the corner of Emery Street and Madison Avenue. Their wooden structure, which is pictured in this story, was then torn down.

During an open house that was held, the huge crowd agreed that the old school was now a thing of beauty after being transformed into the residence for these sisters. Although the outside hadn’t been touched, the inside had been changed. A beautiful chapel, carpeted from wall to wall had been put into place. The building also had a beautiful large dining room, bedrooms and great living quarters for all the nuns to enjoy. On the second floor was a sewing room, along with a large community room in the library with green carpeting and many books, not all on the religious Jimmy Chaloux side. The roof held a sundeck with a safety guard of fiberglass, a built-in table, clothes lines, dumbwaiter for carrying things to the roof and one of seven intercoms that connected to all parts of the building. They were certainly better off in the old school than they were in their original structure where they were cramped for room. I believe that same building today has been closed, as the cost for heating it is way too expensive. I am not quite sure if there are any more Sisters of Mercy who work in the Berlin area today. It was during the early 1960s that the moose was making a comeback to the North Country, but struggling to do so because they were either being shot and left to die or poached. There were hefty fines for hunters who were found and prosecuted for killing moose in these days, as they were protected see 1964 VII page 5

by law. During late October, officials found what they determined to be the “king of the herd”. As a matter of fact, I don’t think any that any of those shot legally today could match the one found shot dead at Bog Brook in 1964, but I could stand corrected. This huge animal was estimated to be 1,400 pounds; a bull moose which conservation officers said was the biggest they had ever seen roaming around this area. The dying creature was found in the Androscoggin River in Cambridge shot through one eye, with a broken leg and blood coming from his back. The injuries were so bad that the officers had to put it down. The moose was discovered on a Sunday morning and before the day was done, two out of state hunters were formally charged in connection with the shooting and ordered to appear in court. It was found on the eastern edge of the Androscoggin in the bog Brook area and took a lot of work to get the body out of the water. The officers, Mathieu, Turner, Muise, Barry and Waterhouse, floated it about two miles down river past the whitewater, where it got stuck several times in the shallow rapids. Then they had to climb into the icy water to retrieve it. They finally brought this animal to an area where the banks were not steep and hauled out the carcass with a winch. After taking care of the moose, the Fish and Game Department set out to find the shooters. They canoed up bog Brook about one and a half miles, came across a group of men setting up camp for the deer season, questioned them and made an arrest. Final calculations during the following week placed the weight of the moose at 1,552 pounds. I don’t believe there is any that size living in this area today and again, I could be wrong. As for the poachers, they got a $200 fine and loss of license. One man lost his license for one year in the other for three. That didn’t seem like much for what they had done. In conclusion, young Jimmy Chaloux and Roger Gagnon went climbing on Mt. Forist Sunday, October 25, 1964, but it took two firemen, a big brother and a rope to get them back down. Jimmy, who was 11 and Roger, who was 9, spent more than two hours clinging to the sharp face of the mountain. All they had were small indentations in the rock as hand and foot holds. Even though they had climbed this mountain many times, they had never tried scaling the face. This almost became a fatal mistake for these boys, because when they got halfway up, they couldn’t go any further. Now, they were in a predicament, as they were also scared to come down. While clinging to the steep rock slab, the youngsters started yelling and waving their caps. They were finally seen and reported to officials. This brought on a thrilling,

but frightening rescue that had the eyes of many spectators. The first ones to head up the mountain were Jimmy’s father and brother. Although they got started as soon as they found out about the boys’ problem, Jimmy and Roger felt like it was taking hours for someone to come. Brother Michael stayed near the boys and dad went to the top, where he thought that he could help by coming down to the stranded hikers. Mr. Chaloux found out that he was wrong, as the rocks were slippery and descending without equipment was next to impossible. At the same time, the fire department showed up with firemen Leo Therrian and Roland Lambert answering the call. When they reached a point near Michael, they threw a rope to him and he threw one end to his brother and friend. Even though it was extremely difficult, the boys were able to tie the line around their waists and each was very carefully swung to a point of safety. It was probably an experience that these boys and their families have never forgotten. This was not the first, nor would it be the last rescue to take place on the side of Berlin’s “Elephant Mountain”. Most of the people caught on the big, steep and wet ledges of this local landmark, have come away with little more than bruises. Before 1964, 12 year old Eleanor Gallant was not so lucky, when she plummeted to her death in 1942. In the early 1980s, another young girl lost her life on this treacherous mountain. While giving a tour of Berlin to people from the Great Glen Trails during the summer, I spoke of this mountain and its similarity to Cathedral Ledge in Conway. I said that we never have rock climbers like the ledge in Conway has and someone said that it was because Mt. Forist always had wet rock that made it to dangerous on which to scale.

erty. BIDPA has agreed it would be willing to take on the role of assessing future uses of the building and/ or property once the building is environmentally clean. “It sounds like a real great opportunity for us,” said board member Dick Huot The building has been vacant for years as the low ceilings in the building made it unattractive to many potential companies. Now there are holes in the ceiling and the electricity has been stripped from the building. “The building has been compromised,” said Caron. While the city may ultimately decide to demolish the building, White noted the site has much to offer potential companies and developers. It has frontage on Route 110 and there is rail access to the back of the property. The site is on city water and sewer and a snowmobile/ATV trail runs across part of the property. “It’s a prime piece of property,” she said. Caron and White cautioned that competition for the pilot grants will be tough. The EPA has divided the country into ten regions with one grant awarded per region. A total of $5.5 million will be awarded. Berlin will be competing against New England and other Northeastern states. If the grant is not successful, Caron said he may ask BIDPA to fund a Phase 2 assessment at a cost of about $50,000. White said research by the consultant working on the Phase I assessment has determined Granite State Rubber/Converse constructed the original building on Jericho Road in 1959-60. Additions to the building were made in 1964 and 1968. The building today is 194,000 square feet. At the height of its operation, Granite State employed close to 1,000 people. It closed in 1979 and REPAIRS from page one

order allowed Nelson to fully rebuild the portion of the roadway that had been demolished and then repaired on an emergency basis by the town immediately following the storm. The cost of the town’s emergency repairs were also reimbursed by FEMA at the 75 percent rate, Frost explained. FEMA sent Gorham a check for $29,339 in mid-December to cover the emergency repairs, which ran about $40,000, said Denise Vallee, Gorham Finance Manager. The engineering and project oversight for the riverbank repairs, awarded to HE Bergeron at a cost of $66,700 will be 75 percent reimbursed by FEMA, Frost explained, as will the expected construction costs of $568,235 to Nelson. The initial project award to Nelson was for $448,340, but the added road construction came in at $119,895. Frost said that the work on White Birch Lane is nearly complete, while the bank along Libby Field will be a while yet. Work had been stopped at that site, while questions from FEMA were answered. The agency asked for a breakdown of the repair and mitigation costs, and some details on vegetation before giving the project final approval, Frost said. Approval was received and work resumed on Tuesday, Jan. 16. The town budget committee approved $76,500 as the town’s estimated 25 percent portion of the repairs needed after the storm. Those funds were to come from the unreserved fund balance. With the addition of the roadwork increasing the overall cost, Frost said, the difference in the town’s actual cost from what was approved by the budget committee last fall will be put before the voters as a warrant article in March. The town was responsible for paying roughly $10,000 in emergency repair costs, $16,675 in engineering and oversight costs, and $142,058 in actual construction costs for the most recent repairs. Though the final bills have not yet been received the total bill to the town is estimated at around $168,733. Frost said the town was able to use $51,767 from a capital reserve fund designated for emergency and disasters, and adding the $76,500 from unreserved funds the taxpayers may be left voting on closing a funding hole of about $40,000.

Bass Shoe moved into the building three years later. Bass Shoe ceased operations by 1987. The building was purchased in 1999 by Two Hundred Eighteen Jericho, a limited liability corporation out of Hudson. In 2004, John Walters of Two Hun-

dred Eighteen Jericho proposed to rent the building to a call center but the project did not materialize. He also negotiated a lease with the state to rent space for the Health and Human Services offices in Berlin but then Gov. Craig Benson rejected the lease.

Shute named to the dean’s list at Quinnipiac University HAMDEN, CONN. -- Rachel Shute of Milan was named to the dean’s list for the fall 2011 semester at Quinnipiac University. To be eligible for dean’s list status, a student must earn a grade point average of at least 3.5 with no

grade lower than C. Full-time students must complete at least 14 credits in a semester, with at least 12 credits that have been graded on a letter grade basis (A through C) to be eligible. Part-time students must complete at least six credits during a semester.

Plymouth area planning Soldier On facility for homeless vets

by Adam Drapcho Laconia Daily Sun PLYMOUTH — A group of people is working to bring a permanent home for veterans to the Plymouth area. The facility will be a product of the Soldier On non-profit organization, which has 15 sites in nine states and is considered the best in the business of caring for homeless veterans. “It’s the gold standard,” Cathy Bentwood said about Soldier On. Bentwood is the executive director of the Bridge House in Plymouth, which provides resources and shelter to persons in crisis. Bentwood said she and others started a discussion about a year ago to think of a way to provide services designed for the specific needs of veterans. In July, town Selectman Valerie Scarborough brought her an article about Soldier On’s unique model. “This is a really beautiful model,” said Bentwood. About two months ago, the coalition of entities pursuing the project received word from Soldier On that the organization was as interested in Plymouth as Plymouth was in Soldier On. In addition to Bentwood, those furthering the local project include the Lakes Region United Way’s Joyce Palmer, former state senator Deb Reynolds, representatives from local and county government, Alex Ray of the Common Man and others. What makes Soldier On unique, compared to a conventional homeless shelter, is that it offers permanent housing, in which residents have an ownership stake, with the services they need to get their lives back on track. Services include mental health therapy, substance abuse counseling, job training and even employment opportunities. At some of its facilities, such as the one in Pittsfield, Mass., Soldier On operates an emergency shelter, a transitional facility and a permanent housing arrangement. Bentwood said the plan for the Plymouth-area facility, which will be the first Soldier On project in New Hampshire, will only offer long-term housing as there are pre-existing shelters and transitional services for veterans in the region. Bentwood said the state’s official count of homeless veterans is reported as about 450, though she thinks the actual figure is likely much higher. Bentwood believes veterans are especially vulnerable to finding themselves in crisis. In addition to the human failings that all people are susceptible to, veterans might be dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder or, increasingly, traumatic brain injury. Symptoms from these afflictions might make it difficult for veterans

to find or hold a job in an already meager jobs market. The facility that is planned for the Plymouth area would have space for about 50 veterans living in small, single-residency units. By the time they’re ready to move into the facility, the concept holds, the veterans would have already reached a point of stability and would be ready for employment. Veterans would buy their way into the facility by paying an initial fee of about $2,500, and then would pay a relatively small, inclusive monthly rent, such as $500. If the veterans choose to move out, they would “sell” their share back to the cooperative. Organizers are still looking for a site to build the facility. Nick and Melissa Gretz have offered to donate a parcel in Thornton to the cause, Bentwood reported, and that land is being evaluated for its suitability. Taylor Caswell, president of the Soldier On Development Company, the construction subsidiary of the non-profit, said facilities are typically built for $100,000 to $125,000 per unit. For a 50-unit project, the estimated total cost would be between $5-million and $6.25-million. Buildings are designed to be “very sustainable,” with photo-voltaic electricity generation and high-efficiency boilers to keep costs low for residents. HUD vouchers will help ensure that residents who aren’t able to earn enough money will be able to pay their rent, while funding from the Veterans Administration pays for services. Money to pay for the initial cost of construction is cobbled together from what’s available, Caswell said. “We try to take advantage of whatever we can get our hands on.” In past projects, funding schemes have utilized state and federal grants, financing provided by local lenders and the sale of tax credits. Caswell said that a key point of Soldier On’s success is that the facilities operate as a cooperative of residents, with each facility its own corporate structure led by an elected board of directors. The residents have collective ownership of their fate – they decide who is welcome to move in and they are empowered to govern themselves. “We don’t have a lot of guys walking around in suits and ties telling veterans what do to, we have veterans telling veterans what to do,” he said. Veterans have a natural sense of duty and camaraderie, he said, and they develop a strong, supportive community that keeps each resident moving toward a brighter future. “It has worked exceptionally well,” he said. “The community ends up becoming a family.” “We’re thrilled to looking at doing something in New Hampshire,” said Caswell. “There’s a great need.

by Abigail Van Buren

WOMAN WHO NEEDS A HUG IS URGED TO REACH OUT TO OTHERS

DEAR ABBY: May I respond to “Iowa Reader” (Nov. 10), the older woman who asked you where to turn when she needed to be hugged and listened to? I’m guessing she was married a long time and doesn’t have any real friends -- just people from her married days. I suggest she get a dog. While dogs can’t hug or hold, they do love unconditionally. A dog is always happy to be with you, and will listen even though it can’t talk back. I would have died of loneliness had it not been for mine. Through her, I have met other older single people on walks and at the dog park. She has given me a way to make new friends and find some company. -- MARCY IN OAKLAND, CALIF. DEAR MARCY: Thanks for your suggestion. I promised “Iowa Reader” that if other readers shared ideas I would pass them along. Because of you and other compassionate readers, I received a wide range of heartfelt, helpful advice. My newspaper readers comment: DEAR ABBY: I discovered a wonderful way to receive much-needed human contact -- partner dancing. I started with the Argentine tango, which might be a bit too much for some folks, but I have learned to absolutely love it. It’s a safe way to enjoy an intimate connection with a member of the opposite sex, no strings attached. It takes time to master the skills, but if you stick with it you’ll find a community that shares a passion for a skill that’s challenging and rewarding. Less-intimate forms of partner dance include swing, salsa and country dancing. If you love music and movement, and could use some exercise, I highly recommend it. -- CATHERINE IN HAWAII DEAR ABBY: I was faced with the same situation when my husband passed away. I joined a Sunday school and found what I needed. Often, the only hugs I get are from people in our group. I volunteer in the kitchen and since I like taking pictures, I’ve been appointed the class photographer. Others have also utilized their hobbies to reach out to people. We go on outings, and I have made many “huggable” friends. I urge “Iowa Reader” to visit places of worship and find one that has an

active senior adult ministry. -- JO ANN IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS DEAR ABBY: I have been a licensed massage therapist for 20 years. I suggest “Iowa Reader” seek out one. During her hour on the massage table she will be touched, nurtured and encouraged to speak about anything on her mind. It’s my job to not only make her feel safe and healthy physically, but emotionally as well. For many clients, I am their only source of touch. It gives me great joy to know that in some small way I can make an important difference in their overall well-being. -- HUGS FROM MAINE DEAR ABBY: Volunteering to rock and cuddle low-birthweight babies puts one in an environment where personal problems matter less. Brushing and petting dogs and cats at the SPCA can provide meaningful interaction because socialized animals are more likely to be adopted. There are poetry and writing groups, peer-to-peer counseling at her Area Agency on Aging, and “contact” sports like pingpong. Abby, I once read in your column, “The best way to have a friend is to be one.” To not overburden any one friend, some conversations are best done with God. -- RACHEL L. DEAR ABBY: I encourage her to offer to tutor or read to kids at her local elementary school, visit residents at a nursing home or work at a homeless shelter. There are lots of others out there who need hugs and attention. Volunteers receive far more than they give. -- DIANNE IN GAINESVILLE, FLA. DEAR ABBY: I work for the YMCA where we have a wonderful community of middle-aged and older people who work out together, spend time visiting during our potlucks, and who have formed circles of lasting friendships. -CORINNE IN OREGON DEAR ABBY: I went back to school, earned my master’s and became a kindergarten teacher. I’m blessed with more hugs now than I know what to do with, and I’m told several times a week that I am loved. During summer vacation, my cat takes up the slack. -- LINDA IN PASCO, WASH.

Berlin/Gorham hockey Berlin Squirts’ game results falls to Concord, 5-1 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

CONCORD--The Concord Women’s Hockey team had its top line figure in all five goals scored and went on to defeat a very determined Berlin/ Gorham team 5-1 in Concord Monday. The Tide jumped out to a 2-0 lead scoring at 5:38 of the first period and then added a power play goal at the 12:12 mark. Jess Caroll scored the first goal with helping markers going to Dayna Stark and Elizabeth Donlon. The power play tally went to Hope Duhame from Carroll and Stark. Berlin’s only goal of the game came at the 14:20 mark. Youngster Jensyn Dandeneau carried the puck down the left side and when her centering pass deflected off a defender, the Berlin deficit was reduced to 2-1. Goal tending became the noticeable feature of the second period. First it was Chelsea Caron in the Berlin net stopping a break away to keep the Lady Mountaineers in the game. Con-

cord net minder Ashley Goodbut was solid stopping a Dandeneau scoring chance and then using the blocker on a Carly Perreault blast. The Tide’s Erin Mullen scored two goals early in the third period at 2:37 and then again at 4:40 to push the Concord lead to 4-1. Duhame and Carroll assisted on the first one and Stark on the second goal. The final goal of the game came at 11:07 of the third period. Carroll lit the lamp from teammates Stark and Mullen to make the final score 5-1. “We’ve got to shoot the puck more,” said Berlin head coach Gary Boucher. “We tried to make some passes at their blue line and it kept us from gaining their zone.” For the game, Berlin’s Caron had 33 saves and Concord’s Goodbut finished at 11 saves. BHS 1 0 0--1 CHS 2 0 3--5 Scoring: BHS- Dandeneau, CHSCarroll 2, Mullen 2, Duhame.

Pinkerton skates past Berlin boys, 6-2 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

MANCHESTER--The Pinkerton Astros scored the first five goals of the game and then cruised to a 6-2 victory over Berlin in a boys’ Division I hockey game in Manchester Saturday. The win was the seventh of the year for Pinkerton and has them currently ranked as the top team in Division I. Pinkerton scored three goals in the first period. JB Dudek at 2:41 from Zach Sanford and Ryan Hall, at 7:31 Sanford from Dudek and Ricky Priest, and at 11:46 (short handed) Cam Vesiere from Max Campbell and Priest for a 3-0 lead. The Astros then deposited a pair of power play goals at 1:28 and 8:12 of the second period. Dudek picked up his second of the game from Sanford and Jake Velleiuex from Devan Moore to give Pinkerton a five goal advantage after two periods of play. Berlin came to play in the third period. The Mounties broke the shut out at 6:26 of the third period

netting a power play goal. Senior Ethan Dorval got the goal from line mates Jeremy Rivard and Connor Jewett. Just three minutes later at 9:50 of the third period, Berlin’s Jewett scored from Rivard and Cody Fauteux to make it a 5-2 contest. However, that was as close as the Mountaineers would get. Astro Connor Brady scored an unassisted goal with just seven seconds remaining in the game, making the final score 6-2. In goal, Mountie senior goal tender Steve Martin had 41 shots on him. Pinkerton’s Matt Martchin blocked 19 Berlin drives. The Mounties won’t get much time to regroup. Berlin hosts long time rival Concord on Monday afternoon.

NORTH YARMOUTH, ME. -With a total of 96 saves in three games Berlin squirts would not be able to get a win in last weekend’s games. Saturday with a double header, first at the Travis Roy Arena in North Yarmouth Maine, facing the Casco Bay Mariners, Berlin would get their second loss of the season with a 3 to 0 loss. First period would find Berlin being outshot by a margin of 8 to 1, with Berlin’s net minder Kurtis Grover making some spectacular saves leaving the first period scoreless. However in the first minutes of play in the second period, the Mariners would strike with a top corner shot. Berlin’s Cameron Delisle, along with Broedy Gagnon, and Tyler Rousseau, would have several scoring opportunities but would be unsuccessful. The Mariners second of the game would come on a power play goal due to Berlin’s Delisle serving a hooking infraction,would end the second with Berlin at a 2 to 0 deficit. Third period would be a back and forth battle, but as the Mariners would capitalize on a broken up a play late in the third to end the game at 3 to 0 loss for Berlin. Grover would face a total of 22 shots on net. Second game of the day would be played in Biddeford, Maine, against the Maine Breakers. Berlin’s Grover would face a whopping 50 shots on net to Breakers 8, ultimately leading to Berlin’s 5 to 3 loss. First period would would start with the Breakers netting themselves a power play goal from a tripping infraction, ultimately ending the period with the home team leading 1 to 0. Second period would have the Berlin defense of Ricky Lambert, Trinity Gendron, Carter Richmond and Tyler Rousseau, having to pull double duty, along with Grover staying solid between the pipes, as the Breakers would pepper the net with 20 shots for the period. Berlin’s Delisle would

tie things up on a power play goal, but the lead would be short lived as Berlin’s Gagnon would receive a tripping infraction ultimately leading to the Breakers go ahead goal. Dominic Paradis would once again tie things up at 2 apiece with assist going to Trinity Gendron and Breody Gagnon. As the period would wind down, Berlin’s Delisle would get the go ahead goal on an unassisted play ending the period at 3 to 2 in favor of Berlin. The third period would belong to the home team as the Breakers would net themselves 2 more unanswered goals ending the game at a 5 to 3 loss for Berlin. Sunday Berlin hosted the Jr. Monarchs from Hooksett, which ultimately lead to their third loss of the weekend, with the score ending at 3 to 0 in favor of the visiting team. Early in the period, the Jr. Monarchs would strike first with a rebound shot that would find the 5 hole. While on a break away, Berlin’s Tyler Rousseau would get tripped on the play, leading to a penalty shot. Unable to capitalize on the penalty shot, the visitors would eventually net themselves another, ending the period at 2 to 0 in favor of the Monarchs. Second period would have Berlin’s Andrew Martel, Ella Roberge, and Haley Hamilton making some great attempts at scoring, only to be shut down by the impressive net minding from the Monarchs. Berlin receiving a boarding infraction, would lead to the Monarchs’ third of the game, ending the period with Berlin facing 11 shots to Monarchs 5. Third period would have both net minders standing tall, leaving the third period scoreless. Grover having faced 35 shots on net to the visiting teams 13. This coming weekend Berlin will be hosting the Hanover Wild on Saturday and the Maine Breakers and Lewiston Jr. Mainiacs on Sunday.

Tide rolls past Berlin boys, 6-0 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN-There are going to be tough stretches during any regular season. The Berlin boys’ hockey team is experiencing a tough stretch playing two games in three days against some of the top teams in Division I. Concord took full advantage of the situation and posted a 6-0 victory over the Mounties Monday in Berlin. The Crimson Tide scored two goals in the first period. At 3:54, Harrison Murphy scored from Connor Fabien and Tayler Label for a 1-0 lead. Three minutes later it was the coach’s son, Dustin Walsh, getting the goal. Walsh’s goal was set up by teammates Murphy and Raven Smith. “We have not been disciplined in our last two games,” said head coach Mike Poulin. “We have taken some poor penalties and you can’t do that against the really good teams.” At 5:36 of the second period, Adam Goodbut scored from Pat Cannon to give the visitors a three goal edge.

The last two goals were both power plays for Concord. At 6:09, Cannon scored from Alan Bauman and Walsh and then it was 5-0 on Dylan Emerson’s man advantage counter, from Sabien and Mitch Hayes at the 10:07 mark. The final goal of the afternoon came with just 1:59 left on the game clock in the third period. Adam Goodbut notched his second goal of the game, coming off of a turnover for the unassisted goal and a final score of 6-0. “We didn’t show up to play today,” stated Poulin. “We allowed Concord too much of our zone. Our defenders just continued to back up, giving them plenty of room to generate their offense. Steve Martin did a good job in goal for us today.” The Berlin boys’ schedule will not get any easier either. The Mountaineers will host a very good Manchester Memorial team on Saturday evening at 6 p.m. BHS 0 0 0--0 CHS 2 3 1--6 Saves: BHS- Martin 34, CHS- Austin Judd 16.

CCFHS awarded for inter-disciplinary approach to patient safety BERLIN -- A national collaborative to protect patient safety has recognized Coos County Family Health Services with an Outstanding Service Award on January 10, 2012, when the Patient Safety and Clinical Pharmacy Services Collaborative (PSPC) presented the award to Adele Woods, CEO, Patty Couture, COO and Lou Addington, RN in Herndon, Virginia. The PSPC is designed to increase leading practices that have been proven to improve patient safety and health outcomes and have successfully implemented clinical pharmacy services. These services are provided by a multi-disciplinary health care team through individualized patient assessment and management in collaboration with a pharmacist. The PSPC requires an inter-professional healthcare team like the one used at CCFHS to reconcile all medicines taken by a patient. Each patient is provided an individual assessment by a team of medical professionals and care is coordinated through the Patient-Centered Medical Home. The award was presented for attaining and exceeding the goal for monitoring patients taking Coumadin, a blood thinner that can cause adverse reactions with other medications as well as with over-the-counter

drugs. This year CCFHS raised the percentage of patients now in target range from 60 to 84 percent. CCFHS will continue to monitor anticoagulant use, and will expand the team services to concentrate on patients with diabetes to ensure that blood-sugar levels (known as A1c) meet the target of less than seven. Blood-sugar levels are controlled by a combination of medications, diet, exercise and other lifestyle changes. This is the third consecutive year that CCFHS has participated in the program, which is funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. HRSA is the primary Federal agency for improving access to health care services for people who are uninsured, isolated, or medically vulnerable. CCFHS is a community-based, yet nationally recognized organization that provides innovative, personalized, comprehensive health care and social services of the highest quality to everyone, regardless of economic status. The medical and community services that that CCFHS provides to the people of Coos County have been supported by generous individual donors, private foundations, corporations and government entities.

First Circuit Court — Berlin District BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

At the Jan. 10 session of Circuit Court, A charge of facilitating an underage drinking party against Nancy Arguin, 49, of Gorham, was placed on file without finding for one year on the condition of good behavior. She was ordered to complete 25 hours of community service and donate $125 to a youth prevention program. Arguin had been accused of allowing teens to drink at her home on Broadway Street on June 11. Joshua St. Cyr, 18, of Berlin, was found guilty of criminal threatening and conduct involving laser pointers. He was fined $500 and $250, respectively and ordered to have no contact with the victim. His charges stemmed from an incident last year where he pointed and

The event is being organized this year by Larry Dagesse and Andy Nadeau at the request of past organizer, John Roberge, who is doing mission work in Haiti.

Featured artist this year will be popular singersongwriter, Katie Rose. Other outstanding performers include the popular north country group Fireside Fiddlers playing an assortment of instruments. Full time musician Jeremy Dean formerly of the Wicked Smart Horn Band and a popular act with several bands and duos around the resort scene will be performing

Ken and Helen Tanguay of Jefferson will perform their style of folk/gospel. Andy Nadeau and his family band, The Nadeaus, will provide their brand of high energy praise and inspirational music. Local rock band Thirteen Years will bring a heavier brand of guitar driven music to the show. Other artists from across the border will also be joining us again this year, including Vance and Peggy Barney from Swanton, Vermont, and regular performers at local open mics in New Hampshire and Vermont. The success of the talent showcase is due to the tremendous community support shown over the past five years, said Andrew J. Nadeau, one of the organizers of the event., adding that this is a way to continue to celebrate the good things in the community and feature talented singers and musicians in their midst. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students and free for children under six.
