Mayor supports Northern Pass, with conditions BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — Mayor Paul Grenier said he supports the concept of the Northern Pass but opposes the use of eminent domain to acquire private property for the transmission line. Grenier weighed in on the controversial project during Monday’s city council meeting. “I support the concept of the Northern Pass project,” Grenier said. But the mayor stressed he believes property owners must

be willing to sell land or easements without having the line “jammed down their throat.” He said he would not support the use of eminent domain to acquire access for the transmission line. “I don’t agree with eminent domain for a private project,” said Grenier, who also serves as a county commissioner. Northern Pass is a proposal to bring a direct current transmission line from Hydro Quebec see SUPPORT page 8

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BOSTON — Kim Blackburn, 1986 senior class president at Gorham High School, almost made it back to Gorham for a visit last weekend. She was in Boston for the first Boston screening of the film, “Norman”, at the Museum of Fine Arts. Blackburn and her husband, Dan Bowen, are the executive producers of the award-winning movie that has made a splash at such events as the Chicago Film Festival, the Rhode Island International Film Festival, the San Diego Film Festival, and the Silver Hugo New Directors Competition. An independent film, Norman is being released in various cities on its own, with the New York release scheduled for Oct. 21. Blackburn will miss that opening. She will be at the Womensphere Pan-European Summit 2011 at the Said Business School University of Oxford, England, where she is one of the featured speakers. “I decided to go (to the Pan-European Summit) instead of opening day in New York because I believe in Womensphere. We get together

and come up with great ideas. Women are solving problems that have been going on for centuries,” Blackburn said in a recent phone interview. But, actually, Blackburn’s main focus at the moment is “Norman.” “The reception in Boston was fantastic,” she said. “Everyone seems to love the film. The people involved are fantastic. Jonathan Segal, the director and producing partner, is such a young talent and is on the rise, for sure. This movie see NORMAN page 6

BERLIN — The Androscoggin River will be on fire and zombies will be out in full force this Saturday as the annual RiverFire festival takes place. The schedule includes hay rides, a children’s costume parade, a haunted village, duck race, kid’s events, and the lighting of the fires on the river and the pumpkins at dusk. The event is based at the Northern Forest Heritage Park and runs from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Main Street, from the park to the Twelfth Street Bridge, will be closed to motor vehicles. “RiverFire this year is going to be a fantastic fun-filled event with something for everyone,” said Paula Kinney of the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce. Even the weather appears to be cooperating with the forecast calling for a dry day with some sun. One of the most popular new events is Horrorfest which last year attracted 900 people, about double what Theatre North organizers had expected. Jonathan Dubey of Theatre North said the group of about 50 volunteers have been planning and working on the haunted village since last year and promises this year’s version will have people screaming. “It is scary,” he said. “If I weren’t involved with it, I probably wouldn’t walk

through it,” he said. Horrorfest is rated PG 13 and is designed for older children and adults. People are asked not to touch the zombies and scareactors who will make a grand entrance into the logging camp shortly shortly before 6 p.m. when Horrorfest opens. Visitors will be sent through the haunted village in small groups for the walkthrough which takes about 20 minutes. The cost for the haunted village is $8 per person which Dubey noted is cheap for this type of activity. “Beware of Dr. Zug”, he warned. There are plenty of less scary activities for people and children to partake. The park opens at 1 p.m. with free admission for all and a variety of activities and food concessions. There will be a bouncy house village for both adults and children. Children can enjoy the Sponge Bob and Finding Nemo Bounce Houses while older kids and adults can try the Moon Bounce House or the Adrenaline Rush Obstacle Course. An $8 bracelet entitles one to bounce all afternoon. There will also be face painting and decorating Halloween cookies for the kids. Throughout the afternoon, there will be a scholastic book fair sponsored by the Brown School PTO set up on the amphitheater stage at the park. The duck race takes place at 2 p.m. see RIVER page 5

Police kill dozens of animals freed from preserve ZANESVILLE, Ohio (Ny Times) — Law enforcement officials in Ohio on Wednesday said they believed that they had captured or killed all but three of the animals that escaped from an exotic animal preserve after the owner of the property released the animals, then fatally shot himself. At least 25 animals — including lions, wolves, bears and at least one tiger — were shot and killed by deputies and other law enforcement personnel armed with assault rifles to prevent the animals from attacking humans, said Sheriff Matt Lutz of Muskingum County. At least one of the fleeing animals — it was unclear which species — was struck by a vehicle on a highway adjacent to the 46-acre preserve, and one of the monkeys kept at the compound was killed by a lion, officials said. Sheriff Lutz said in a news conference on Wednesday that the authorities had sought to shoot one of the fleeing Bengal tigers with a tranquilizer dart, but that the dart had either missed or served only to enrage the 300-pound tiger. “It just went crazy,” Sheriff Lutz said. “We had to put it down.”

Hard feelings test hope in Israel-Hamas deal

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

JERUSALEM (NY Times) — Just off the bus in Gaza after six years in an Israeli prison, one of hundreds traded to Hamas for an Israeli soldier, Wafa al-Bass declared her next goal: abduct more Israeli soldiers. Others who returned said they could not feel satisfaction until the thousands of remaining Palestinian prisoners were freed. And Israelis, at first thrilled at the sight of their liberated soldier, were angered by how he looked — frail, wan and underfed. It was a day when many things went right. Promises were kept, an agreement between sworn enemies was carried out, people wept with joy. The military chief of Hamas, Ahmed al-Jabari, one of

the most wanted and despised men in Israel, was seen on television leading the freed Israeli, Sgt. First Class Gilad Shalit, from Gaza to liberty. Some said all this should improve chances for peacemaking and reconciliation. But it was almost immediately clear that the prisoner exchange was also a source of acrimony. Each side accused the other of mistreating its prisoners. Sergeant Shalit, who was denied Red Cross visits throughout his imprisonment, was pushed into an uncomfortable interview on Egyptian television before being handed over to Israel, and Israelis watched his measured responses and labored breathing with fury.

Some risks as Obama confronts Congress

EMPORIA, Va. (NY Times) — For the last several weeks, President Obama has railed against the “do-nothing Congress.” Not content with that, he is now needling it as the “know-nothing Congress.” On the road in the important electoral states of Virginia and North Carolina the past two days, Mr. Obama has joked that

his administration is breaking up its $447 billion jobs bill into separate chunks so it would be easier for befuddled Republicans in the Senate to understand. “Maybe they just couldn’t understand the whole bill at once,” Obama said to a chortling crowd at the airport in Asheville, N.C. “We’re going to break it up into bite-size pieces.”

The increasingly caustic tone of the president’s attacks on Congress raises a question: How long can Obama continue to hammer Republicans without exhausting the patience of voters who elected him to be an alternative to Washington partisanship — and without risking the perception that he is part of the problem?

U.S. troops battle to control key Afghan route

ASADABAD, Afghanistan (NY Times) — American and Afghan troops have killed at least 115 insurgents as part of a tough fight to gain control of a critical corridor and resupply route to a key American base in northeastern Afghanistan, according to Afghan and American military officers. Civilians in the area as well as American and Afghan soldiers described an exceptionally intense fight, which was still going on, in which long-range bombers have flown in from as far away as the Gulf emirate of Qatar, the southern Afghan province of Kandahar and Bagram air base outside Kabul, the Afghan capital. The Americans have also fired long-range rockets from more than a hundred miles away as the troops struggled to oust large numbers of insurgents who month after month have attacked convoys on the road and dominated much of this corner of Kunar Province. Kunar, perhaps more than any other area of the country’s northeast has posed serious problems for American troops, just as it did for the Russians when they occupied the country.

Four White Mountain Treasures to be honored Nov. 1 BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BARTLETT — This year's four recipients of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce's annual White Mountain Treasures Award are Joan Lanoie, Howie Wemyss, late Conway historian David Emerson, and the state Department of Transportation. DOT personnel will be honored for their work in getting local roadways repaired after Tropical Storm Irene in time for the busy foliage season. The honorees will be recognized at the joint annual meeting of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council, to be held at the Grand Summit Hotel and Conference Center at Attitash Nov. 1. The as-yet-unnamed recipient of this year's Bob Morrell Award will also be honored by the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council at the dinner. The treasures awards are sponsored by Woodlands Credit Union. To make reservations for the event, call the chamber at 356-5701. N.H. Department of Transportation Flooding from Hurricane Irene closed roads to the Mount Washington Valley just weeks before the start of autumn, but, says Mount Washington Valley Chamber events chair Mary Seavey, “N.H. Department of Transportation crews pushed the repair efforts into overdrive to reopen roads so that leaf peepers could view fall foliage as they have in past years.” In an appearance before the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council this month, Gov. John Lynch also applauded the department's work, saying the DOT more than rose to the task at hand. Lynch said it represented teamwork at its best. “The fact,” said Lynch, “that the state Department of Transportation marshaled all the resources it did to get the Kanc and Route 302 opened is a testament to those people, pooling those resources and working with local people.” Joan Lanoie, community volunteer Former awards chair for Dollars for Scholars, and director of volunteer services for Memorial Hospital, Joan Lanoie of Madison has long been active in public service in Mount Washington Valley. A talented violinist, Joan plays in the Mountain Top Music Center's community orchestra and Mountain Aire string quartet. She and her husband Russ Lanoie host the MWV Green Team's community garden on their Tasker Hill property. Both are active in community affairs, with Russ involved with the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council, his own construction design company, maker of the Front Runner grading device and other local alternative-energy products and events. He is also a member of the MWV Community Band. Joan is a former Madison School Board member of nine years who was instrumental in forming SAU 13. She formerly was known for many

years as the Lamaze Lady for her work in childbirth classes for 16 years. She was involved with what was then known as the Visiting Nurse Agency. She is now back on the board of the Visiting Nurse and Hospice Service of Northern Carroll County, which is planning to merge with Carroll County Home Care Services. Joan formerly worked for the economic council as an administrative assistant, when she handled grant writing for the Tech Village. She was a board member for the Mount Washington Valley Theatre Company for eight years. “I think it's important to give back to your community — it's a way for you to be a part of your community,” said Joan. Howie Wemyss Howard M. “Howie” Wemyss is the general manager of the Mount Washington Auto Road, which this year has been celebrating its 150th season. The company also includes Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center. Wemyss was born in Cambridge, Mass. and raised in Biddeford, Maine. He attended Colorado State University, and received an honorable discharge from the US Army in 1971, after which he moved to New Hampshire. Wemyss began working for legendary former general manager Doug Philbrook at the Auto Road as a stage driver in 1978 and was then promoted in 1987 to serve as general manager of the historic “Road to the Sky.” Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center opened in 1994, offering an extensive network of cross country ski trails and mountain biking terrain at the base of the Auto Road. After a fire destroyed the former base lodge on March 23, 2001, Great Glen rebuilt its base lodge on the east side of Route 16 by expanding existing facilities. The road annually hosts bicycle

races, foot races and uphill cross country ski competitions. Wemyss presently serves as a board member for the Mount Washington Observatory, the Cross Country Ski Areas Association, White Mountains Attractions, and the Mount Washington Commission. He has dedicated himself to learning, preserving and sharing Mount Washington history. Howie and his wife Sue live in Randolph, where they enjoy cross country skiing, trail running, mountain biking, birding, and photography. Howie and his former wife, Cathy, have a daughter Cory, who is a licensed massage therapist in the Conway area. Asked about the at-times adventurous nature of his job, Wemyss this summer answered that it is always a challenge when you are dealing with Mount Washington's notoriously fickle weather — but it's one which he cherishes. “It's not just a job — at all! It's really my privilege to kind of be the caretaker of the operation. There's a lot more to it. It's really a passion,” said Wemyss, adding, “Then you add the challenge of the weather! There's a lot that goes on here that makes it interesting. I have always been interested in the history of the road, since my days as a stage driver.” The late David Emerson (1949-2009) Remembered for his knowledge of local history, as well as for his civic contributions and irreverent wit, author and historian David Emerson is being honored by the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce as a White Mountain Treasure two years after his death from cancer in March 2009. Honored as the 2007 Conway Business Person of the Year by the Conway Village Area Chamber of Commerce, Emerson was an author of several

books on Conway history, director of the Conway Public Library's Henney History Room, executive director of the Conway Historical Society, and writer of a gardening column for The Conway Daily Sun. He was married to Sun columnist Susan Bruce. In a rare serious moment at his Conway awards dinner in 2007, he praised a trend in preservation that he had witnessed over the past decade or so. “It used to be that in Conway, buildings were just torn down, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. But,” said Emerson, “in the last 15 years or so, the region had seen a change in that Conway's older buildings are now being saved and renovated, and converted into new uses.” An example of one of those new uses, he said, is the old fire station across the street from the Salyards Center. The fire station is now being used by Mountain Top Music Center for classroom space, and the Salyards Center is a former Roman Catholic Church, which was purchased by the Conway Historical Society and converted into the Salyards performing arts center. Margaret Marschner, of Wolfeboro, who retired in June 2007 after nearly 30 years at the Conway library, said she worked with Emerson beginning in July 1993 after Ann Cullinan retired from the Henney Room. “He brought a lot to the post as he was also director of the Conway Historical Society's Eastman-Lord House,” said Marschner Monday. “He knew so many people, and had read so much about local history.” Emerson put his wit to work in composing the Conway Historical Society's quarterly newsletters, in which he would make even the most mundane calendar listing sound intriguing — and humorous. The same held true in his “The Seedy Gardener” column.

Lost kitten needs a home To the editor: I have been feeding a lost cat for two weeks. It is not a stray as it is very lovable and really wants to come in the house. He is very clean. My problem is my female cat sits on the other side of the sliding glass door, and hisses, spits, and growls, otherwise I would have taken it in. I go outside on the deck and sit with it. He just purrs and rubs against me and just flops down for attention. He comes to my door twice a day and meows for food and entry into the house. We need to find his owner or a new one. Can you help out? I want to find it a home before winter sets in. I am willing to have it neutered if that would help. This is a very young cat, but not neutered. He is an orange tiger cat with white paws. I hope we can find him a home. Rita Savage Randolph

Thanks for supporting book drive To the editor: Many thanks to all community members who have supported the Community Services Center Book Drive and made it a success! We received a great selection of thousands of donated books and an overwhelming response from community members who have enjoyed and appreciated the book sale at bargain prices. Volunteers have taken great pride in organizing the Book Drive, serving the public and increasing the awareness of their role in the community. Because of the many requests to make this an annual event, we aren now planning to make it a tradition. We especially want to thank Dick Poulin for letting us use the former Tex Mex restaurant, without his support this would not have been possible. The money raised will support the volunteers’ social and health related activities. They also have agreed to make a contribution to the local scholl book scholarships, Toys for Tots and Relay for Life. Again thank you and hope to see you next year at a bigger and better Book Drive. Volunteers from the Community Services Center Berlin

Once upon a Berlin Time

1906-III

Hello fellow Berlinites. I would like to continue with the happenings that took place in the “Paper City” during the year 1906. Since Berlin was a busy, growing, industrial city back in 1906, many incidents were taking place daily that kept the citizens talking. On Saturday, March 31, the wagon of Charles H. Merrill, driven by William Greenwood was struck by a freight train at the crossing on Hillside Avenue. Mr. Greenwood was driving his pair of horses along from Second Avenue at a good pace and their noses were almost across the tracks, when he saw the locomotive coming. Believing that he was safer in crossing, instead of trying to back away, he drove on. The train struck the rear of the wagon, tossing it like a shell out of the road and into a nearby ditch. This caused the wagon to be smashed into splinters. Luckily, the blow somehow freed the horses, which ran up Hillside Avenue and were caught at the corner of Hemlock Street (Madison Avenue) by Arthur Morin. In the meantime, Mr. Greenwood had been forcibly thrown to the ground, but away from the horses and wagon, probably saving his life. No blame was attached to anyone involved for this accident, but eyewitnesses said they were surprised that nobody was killed. The wagon was carrying bakery products. Also, on this same Saturday, March 31, Mrs. Lucilia Twitchell, a grade teacher in Berlin, was the victim of a purse snatcher, who stole around five dollars in cash from her. She was walking along High Street in the evening, when a man came up behind and seized her bag. The lady thought someone was playing a joke on her, but soon found out otherwise, when he ran off. Her purse and eyeglasses were found at a house on St. Giles (Granite) Street by police and returned to her. This was the second such incident within a short time and in the same vicinity. On Wednesday, April 4, Fridtz Findsen, a painter at Berlin Mills, had a narrow escape from serious injury or even death. His wife had left him asleep in bed with a child playing about the room. The little tot somehow secured a kerosene can, spilling the contents about the floor and bed and then somehow set it on fire. Mr. Findsen was aroused by the heat and succeeded in making his escape, but not before his face was blistered and his hands and feet were badly burned. The child was unhurt and the fire department did save the house. I wonder what his wife thought about this. No age was given to the child. The news in one of the April 1906 papers talked about the extension of Pleasant Street to Green Street. Robert Snodgrass spoke of getting this work finished, because his teams constantly used Pleasant Street. He said that he was much delayed when he had to turn left on Mechanic Street to Main Street. There were many pedestrians using the crossings in this area and when he reached Main Street, other teams and the trolley cars made for a lot of congestion. The turn was short and the trolley track

was a great nuisance. Of course, there were many pros and cons to the Pleasant Street extension, but it got accomplished. At first, Pleasant Street went as far as Mason Street. Then it went down to Mechanic Street. Now, in 1906, the move was on to Green Street. By the 1920’s, Pleasant Street was on the move a g a i n and went as far as Exchange Street. It The intersection of Pleasant and Green was evenStreet around 1906. tually extended in later years to Glen Avenue. Of course, both Main and Pleasant Streets were twoway until the late 1940’s. In April of 1906, the city of Berlin was being hit with many cases of the dreaded typhoid fever. Its cause was not known and officials were scrambling to put an end to it. Physicians were unanimously advising the public to boil their drinking water and people were alarmed. Doctor Provost, chairman of the board of health, sent samples of the city water taken from faucets at Berlin mills, on the heights, the East Side and Green Street. They were sent to Doctor Kingsford, the state chemist, for examination. Milk samples were also sent. The paper did not have the results. Provost’s theory Dr. Provost was that typhoid germs were obtained from foodstuffs, rather than liquids consumed by Berlin’s citizens. He figured that the shell and other kinds of fish eaten in large quantities during lent may have been responsible for the outbreak. Everything was being done to find the reason for the epidemic. The following week, there were 125 cases of this disease in the city of Berlin and probably many more unaccounted for. With this, twelve year old Harold Clarke of Burgess Street became this city’s fist victim. The sad funeral for this young boy was held on Wednesday April 25. I will let you know what happened in later days, as I research it. Berlin’s building boom was in full force during April of 1906, as work was being done on the new Court House and J. Fred bell had just broken ground for his three story structure on the corner of Pleasant and Mechanic Streets. This huge edifice would be 97 by 50 feet and have four large stores on the ground floor, with a hall on the second floor. The plans were drawn up by H.C. Bates and called for a red brick building with grey brick trim. This large place was built by Stewart and Snodgrass at a cost of $18,000. The last see 1906 page 5

when the little yellow ducks will be dropped from the Twelfth Street Bridge. Kinney said tickets were mostly sold out by the beginning of the week. The first place winner will receive $500 cash, second place $250, and third place $100. In addition, there will be a bonus duck winner who will receive two tickets to a New England Patriots game, donated by Munce’s Superior Oil. At 3 p.m., Bozo the Clown will arrive to entertain young and old alike. The ever-popular hay rides also get underway at 3 p.m. and are scheduled to run until 8 p.m. The charge is a modest $2. Weather permitting, ReMax hot air balloon rides will be available from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Horne Field. A children’s Halloween Costume Parade will be held at 5 p.m. with the line-up at Gate A at the park, across from the VFW hall. Parents who join are asked to come in costume too. The parade will travel through the festival and then up Main Street to the pedestrian bridge and end up at the Brown School parking lot. Another popular event that was added last year was the carved pumpkin display. The chamber gave out close to 300 pumpkins for people to carve in hopes of beating the 200 pumpkins that were done last year. The pumpkins are displayed on the pedestrian bridge and extra shelving has been put up this year to accom-

modate the hundreds of pumpkins expected. People are asked to drop their pumpkins off starting at 2 p.m. At dusk, organizers will light them to complement the main event - the lighting of the bonfires. This year, bonfires on 23 boom piers in the river will be set on fire to create the spectacular glow that can be seen up and down the river. The new river walk will be lined with tiki torches to allow great views of the fires. People are bound to work up an appetite partaking in all the events and there will a variety of food available sure to satisfy all palate. Kinney said vendors will be offering Firehouse fries, Cop Shop donuts, Chinese food, sausage subs, foot-long hot dogs, hamburgs, fried dough, cotton candy, chili, home soups, hot cider, oven-fired pizza, barbecue, and kettle korn. RiverFire is a joint collaboration of the chamber, Berlin Main Street Program, NFHP, and Theatre North. Sponsors this year include Aerial Site Communications, AutoNorth Superstore, Brookfield Power, Couture Construction, Guardian Angel Credit Union, Laconia Savings Bank, Northway Bank, Personal Touch Home Care, ReMax, Great Northwoods Container Service, and Berlin BetterBuildings. Additional information is available by calling the chamber at 752-6060. People interested in getting involved in staging next year’s Horrorfest should provide their contact information to Jonathan Dubey.

showcases that. They are considering this his break-out film and I think it will be.” The absorbing movie plunges the viewer into the life of high school student Norman Long, whose mother has recently been killed in an automobile accident and whose father is dying of cancer, while at school Norman is dealing with his own coming-of-age issues and classmates who seem to be oblivious of what’s going on in his home life. Norman is played by Dan Byrd, his love interest, by Emily Van Camp, his father by Academy Award nominated Richard Jenkins, and his best friend by Billy Lush, all of whom have solid film and television credits and convincingly transport the viewer into the sometimes dark world of Norman Long. The affecting music and songs are original by Andrew Bird. “If you just Google it and see the reviews,” said Blackburn, “the reception is great. The acting is solid. Everyone really delivered. It’s a great movie all around.” While Blackburn and her husband are still involved in the day to day business of seeing “Norman” through, they also have “teamed up with Jonathan and have a producing partnership,” she said. “We are moving on to the next film—reading scripts and raising money and talking about what to do next.” Most of the time Blackburn and her husband are in Los Angeles, where the business is, but they have talked of possibly doing a movie in New England. Norman was shot in Spokane, Wash. In any case, Blackburn seldom gets back to Gorham. “I haven’t been back in a year,” she said. “I wanted to go back there this weekened. I have friends and family there. I miss them terribly.” Blackburn said her family has always been supportive. “My parents were not typical. They are very very insistent on college. They were not strict, but very progres-

sive in their thinking. They weren’t the ‘Get married and stay here’ kind of parents. They were, ‘Do what you can do. You can do more,” she said. “Sometimes it was a little overboard,” Blackburn added. “My father taught me to be very competitive. My mother said that they thought I was going to be a boy, and when I turned out to be a girl, my father said, ‘All right, she’ll be a boy anyway.’ He said, ‘When I’m gone, I expect you to be hard.’ He taught me to think on my feet, use my head.” The thought brought her back to “Norman.” “With this movie, they (industry experts) said, ‘You can’t do this film. You can’t do it theatrically. Norman is not the genre now.’ I said, ‘OK, if you’re not with me, I’m going without your support,’” she said. Now the film is getting general industry and film festival support,

including some who say “Norman needs to be seen by a wider audience, it has to be seen by the public,” Blackburn said, “When I heard that, I thought, ‘This is why you push and you don’t take ‘No’ for an answer.” Blackburn confesses to having been difficult in high school. “I was a difficult kid and Ronald Fini was great. He was teaching accounting and typing. He was my teacher. I was a little out of control. Looking back, I see I had attitude and they (Paul Lacroix, too), at least reined me in enough to keep me out of trouble. I was bored. Fini put up with a lot a lot a lot. I was very rambunctious. It would have hurt for college if they had suspended me. Instead, they would just drag me down to the principal’s office and sit me down, more times than I want to remember. They would just say, ‘Stop screwing up. You are talented. You are going to ruin it.’ They pushed me to

be better. Fini would engage me—in a playful way sometimes—to get me to come around because he knew that if he took me seriously, I would become more aggressive. So he sometimes took it as a joke, like it was amusing. But I know it wasn’t. He never lost his temper. He had an impact on me. I may be one of those people he never wants to see again, but to me, he was important.” She remembers Lacroix as having convinced her that she could do whatever she wanted. “That was the most important thing in the town—it was difficult to see past the circumstances you are in and to see that much more life goes on outside the town. There’s a misconception when you are there that you know what is going on. That’s not true. There’s no competition. You learn a lot from competition, about raising your game. He (Lacroix) taught me that I might be headed down the wrong path and he was right. He said, ‘You can be more than you think you can be right now and you should push forward.’ And so I did,” Blackburn remembered. Blackburn was accepted at Northeastern (in Boston) where she intended to take pre-med courses but discovered science was not her forte. She switched to Political Science and, because she always liked entertainment, minored in communications. When she was offered a full scholarship to attend the University of Tampa, she transferred and graduated from college in three years. “I went summers to get done quickly— partly to move on and partly because of finances,” she said. see NORMAN page 9

Deerfield. The high voltage line would cross the border at Pittsburg and run approximately 180 miles mainly using existing rights-of-way. But in northern New Hampshire about 40 miles of new right of way would have to be created. The $1.1 billion project is proposed by Northeast Utilities, the parent company of Public Service of N.H. and the Massachusetts-based NStar. The project has run into strong opposition in the North Country and this spring PSNH announced it was searching for another route.

are grateful to be joined in this effort by our friends at the Mormon Church in Randolph and a visiting youth group from St. Thomas Church in Hanover, NH. The menu will be chicken cordon bleu, roasted zucchini, green beans, garlic mashed potatoes, rolls, and tapioca pudding.

For this meal, no tickets are required. All are welcome - come and share a meal with your neighbors! St. Barnabas is located at the corner of Main and High Streets in Berlin. For more information, call 723-7003.

A recent Concord Monitor article reported the utility has spent more than $850,000 since May buying nearly 720 acres in the northern Coos County area. The article said it appears the utilities are moving the route east of the original layout. Grenier said he believes PSNH is making a concerted effort to find a route that minimizes the visual impacts of the line. He said he believes PSNH erred in initially presenting the project without educating the public on all the details. “I think the next roll-out will be different,” he

said. Tri-County Community Action Program Economic and Housing Director Max Makaitis, who works on economic development projects for the city and county, echoed Grenier’s sentiments. Makaitis said the country needs as much renewable energy as it can get to reduce its dependency on foreign oil. He said there are some issues with the proposed route that must be worked out such as its potential impact on tourism and private property rights. But he said the renewable energy it would provide is needed.

NORMAN from page 6

One of those summers she studied at a Tampa University affiliate in London and studied for several weeks at Oxford. She graduated from Tampa with honors. While in college, she had been working in sales and promotion at a car dealership and met one of the investors in the promotion company who offered Blackburn a job in Los Angeles after she graduated. She took him up on it and moved to LA. The company “had a huge real estate and entertainment business in Palm Springs and LA. It was a great experience. I was an office manager, but in LA, we have weird jobs. I was handling business affairs and parties. We did things for Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore, all the old actors. I was doing that when these people were still pretty active in the entertainment business.” After two years, she decided to go to law school—in New England. “I thought I would never get anything done in LA. There was always a party,” she said. Accepted at Suffolk, Northeastern, and New England Law Schools, she chose New England because that had started out as a law school for women in 1920. “It was all females at one point and I am a big female supporter,” she said. She was interested in international law and was on the international moot court while in law school. She was also working for the Jerry Brenner Group, an entertainment and radio promotion company. “At the time, I wanted to be an agent. He (Brenner) said, ‘You can go out there (LA) and have your office in my law offices,’ still working for the Jerry Brenner Group,” Blackburn remembered. The time was the beginning of the internet boom and in 2000 Blackburn formed a joint partnership to do a startup until, all too soon, the crash in March of 2000. “By March or April I was back in LA,” she said.

She did some joint ventures and then did business development for Radical Records and business consulting for New Line Cinema, the producers of “Lord of the Rings” and “Wedding Crashers.” Blackburn’s job was to do due diligence on directed DVDs. That is, many movies go directly from production to DVD and when that happens, the company that plans to produce and distribute the DVD has to do a complete legal check on the movie production. Blackburn met her husband at New Line. He was working there as an executive vice president in music. “I was in a different department,” Blackburn explains. But it was there that she also met Jonathan Segal. He had done the movie “The Last Run” (2004) and brought it to New Line for DVD distribution. “We just bonded over that,” Blackburn said. “Delivery can be intense. Young and independent film makers don’t know the business side of delivering. New Line was a sister of Warner Brothers Pictures. They were considered a big studio at the time. It means you go over all the paperwork necessary to release the film. They look at the contracts from A to Z., look at all the contracts and make sure that everything is ok. Indpendents may cut corners because it’s a crazy and intense business. But while independents don’t often get sued, the big studios will (if they’re not careful).” “I was doing that for New Line,” Blackburn continued. “I think I did like 15 films in three years. That was intense. Jonathan’s “Last Run” unfortunately got caught in the downsizing of New Line. When a company downsizes, certain things would be canceled. His agreement was done. They pushed over the DVD thinking that would be ok, but by the time we got done and delivered it, New Line no longer was doing that department. The film was released via DVD..... his first real feature.” Blackburn continued consulting for Warner Brothers, but she and her husband decided it would be a good time to get their masters in business. They chose

to go to the Said Business School, which is the business school at Oxford University in England. “It was a fabulous experience,” Blackburn remarked. “I use it more than my law degree.” At the same time, she was a music consultant for Warner Brothers and so was “picking up movies for them.” She and her husband completed the Master in Business program in September. “At Oxford, you say your matriculation date (start date) so we matriculated in 2009.” Blackburn said she received a degree with distinction. Then, while working on “Norman,” she was a music consultant on “Crazy, Stupid Love” and “Final Destination 5.” Now, she said, she and her husband are doing post production, finishing up “the legal work that always takes place right after release. That can go on for months or years afterward.” What does an executive producer do? “I handle the day to day stuff for “Norman”, in this case. We are in this changing mode of business models. A producer used to do pre-production and production and when the movie was done, the studio takes over. In this case, we are caught (in the changing mode). Independent filmmaking doesn’t have outlets like they used to. The major studios have cut their major independent divisions. A lot of film companies in general aren’t around any more. We had to find our own. So we did. Which is unusual. Most films go directly to DVD. Most are not getting theatrical releases anymore.” Kim’s husband, Bob Bowen, is now a senior vice president at Relativity Media. “He just finished ‘The Immortals’ and ‘Snow White.’ My husband is really talented. He came from Detroit. We have similar backgrounds, except I had a very supportive father,” she said. What’s next? “We press forward to win an Oscar,” she said.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis eat your time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You discover a need and fill it for fun and profit. It’s so simple for you to make money today that you wonder what held you back before. People pay you to solve a problem. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In the span of the day, you go from being fierce and intense to reserved and mysterious. People don’t know what to expect from you, and you have a great time keeping them guessing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Of course you’d rather be respected than feared. However, when a person hops to attention to get a job done for you because he or she is afraid of what will happen otherwise, you can’t help but feel secretly pleased. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You decide ahead of time that you’re going to have fun and find something to like about the people with whom you share your time. It’s easy for you to find words that are true and kind. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll meet a new person and have a strong reaction. You may feel repelled or attracted; you could convey rejection or acceptance. You’ll feel your choice in the matter and be as loving as possible. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 20). You’ll enjoy the attention and respect you get this year. When love is the furthest thing from your mind, it comes rushing into your life. November will challenge your old way of thinking and force you to come up with empowering new habits. Your openhearted generosity will make a difference in the world. Cancer and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 33, 29 and 16.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re an oracle of sorts. You can see where a situation is going and predict the outcome. Be forewarned, though: The oracle’s message is not always so welcome. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The one who works and reworks a project is quite remarkable in your book. You appreciate the effort, as well as the selflessness involved. Humility will lead to greatness in this person and in yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t always feel the need to embrace your loved ones. After all, they already know how much you love them, right? They know, but they need reminding. Each embrace fortifies the bond. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Keep in mind that the best discourse has a flow to it. Don’t let your social scene get sticky. Excessive talking is bad news for both the speaker and the listener. Know when enough is enough. Interrupt talk with action. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Thoughts become words, words become actions, and before you know it, your thoughts have created your habits and character. Controlling them is really hard right now, but you can definitely rein them in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know you’re important to another person when that person starts introducing you to family and friends. You’ll come off well in such encounters, as long as you don’t try too hard. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You enjoy people who are good conversationalists, but not people who talk on and on about themselves and don’t ask you questions or listen to what you have to say. Avoid those types today; they will

WOMAN STRUGGLING TO PUT HAPPY FACE ON FACEBOOK IS NOT ALONE

DEAR ABBY: “Unsure Out West” (July 26) felt inadequate because she had no upbeat messages to send to her friends on Facebook. Please tell her she’s not alone. I attended a prestigious college, but 35 years later I also find myself with no job, in debt, battling depression and dealing with a host of phobias. I read the school’s quarterly magazine and see my peers have great jobs, travel extensively and are happily married. I once sent in “news” that not everyone is so lucky and that I am neither successful nor wealthy. Needless to say, it wasn’t published. When my FB friends ask how I am, I reply that it’s a difficult question to answer. I then ask about THEM and let them know I’m glad they’re doing well. And when times get bad, I know I can deactivate my Facebook account until I feel better. -- UNDERSTANDING “FRIEND” IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR “FRIEND”: Thank you for writing to support “Unsure.” Many people identified with her feelings. My newspaper readers comment: DEAR ABBY: As a recovering survivor of severe childhood trauma, I can relate to “Unsure’s” situation. I have college degrees, am married to a wonderful man and have two grown children. All my energy went into recovering from what happened to me. For years I felt ashamed that I hadn’t lived up to my potential, but it takes courage to recover from abuse or addiction. People who understand this view individuals like “Unsure” and me as SUCCESSES in the things that really matter. She should be honest, and as discreet as she wishes. When I have opened up, others have learned the realities of recovery and seen me as proof that it’s possible. Too many suffer in silence. They need to know others have sought help and are healing. I reconnected with a popular, successful high school friend over the Internet and discovered that her adult path was similar

to mine. We have been a source of support and encouragement to each other ever since. -- WENDY IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: While everyone brags about their kids, careers and wonderful lives, don’t forget that they too have put a “spin” on things. Nobody’s life is perfect. We’ve all had our share of hardships. I have been in “Unsure’s” shoes for several years (minus the great hubby), but Facebook has given me confidence and enabled me to meet people who share my interests. Accept yourself for who you are. You don’t have to hide the truth. Problems with alcohol or depression do not define you. -- AMANDA IN ILLINOIS DEAR ABBY: “Unsure” should get rid of her Facebook page. If she doesn’t, she’ll continue reading about the lives of her old acquaintances and feel bad about hers. I’m 19 -- never had a FB page and never will. Friends have fought over rumors spread there, and I’ve seen their self-esteem suffer because of the entries and comments of others. Since she has a history of depression, it would be healthier to focus on the positives in her life and eliminate something that makes her feel negatively. -- K.V. IN NEW JERSEY DEAR ABBY: I, too, was well-liked, active and graduated with honors. After college I became sick with a debilitating chronic illness that leaves me mostly homebound. When an old friend reaches out on Facebook, I ask how she’s doing, we discuss common interests and I reveal my health struggles. If she wants to know more, she’ll ask. Yesterday I spent the afternoon with a friend I hadn’t been in touch with for 17 years until Facebook reunited us. She accepted my limitations and showed incredible compassion and empathy. We caught up on mutual friends, hobbies AND my health. While not everyone will respond that way, it’s worth finding those who will. -- EMILY IN PENNSYLVANIA

Gorham girls handle Lin-Wood 6-1 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LINCOLN — The Gorham girl’s soccer team got goals from six different players and went on to defeat the Linwood Lumberjacks 6-1 in a Division IV girl’s soccer game in Lincoln recently. The Huskies top gun, sophomore Lily Keenan scored just 2:14 into the game for a 1-0 lead. The goal was set up by Leslee Kenison and it was Keenan’s nineteenth of the Fall. Huskie Denise Currier scored her first goal of the season at 19:25 of the first half to put the visiting Huskies on top 2-0. Three minutes later, it was Kenison finding the back of the goal for her seventh of the year and more importantly a three goal Huskie cushion. Junior captain Jessica Stewart capped the four goal first half, netting her fifth of the year and creating a 4-0 bulge at intermission. In the second half, the Lumberjacks ruined the Huskies’ bid for a shutout at 20:52 on a Kelsey O’Rourke goal.

Any thought of a Linwood comeback was thwarted one minute later. Hayley “double H” Holmes converted her first goal of the year, to push the Lady Huskies to a 5-1 lead. The final tally of the contest came at 30:46 of the second half. Devon Cyr converted a Currier pass to make the final score 6-1. The goal was Cyr’s second of the season For the game, Gorham took 21 shots to Linwood’s five. Gorham held a three to one edge in corners and the Linwood keeper had to block eight shots on goal while Gorham had three saves. The Gorham girls will play their final game of the year on Wednesday on the Gorham Common. The Lady Huskies will host the Woodsville Engineers at 3:30 p.m. on senior day. GHS 4 2-6 LHS 0 1-1 Scoring: GHS- Keenan, Stewart, Holmes, Currier, Cyr, Kenison, LHS- O’Rourke.

Berlin Squirts take wind out of Cyclones

HUDSON — Last Sunday the Berlin Squirts found themselves in Hudson taking on the Cyclones in an early afternoon game. In the first period of action, Berlin was on the attack from the drop of the puck. The Berlin offense generated plenty of scoring chances, only to be turned away by the Cyclone’s net minder. The Cyclones fired shots of their own, only to be shut down by the goal tending of Berlin’s Kurtis Grover. A Berlin player was whistled for a hooking infraction, allowing the home team a power play opportunity. The tough defensive work of Chet Johnston and Austin Scarinza kept the Cyclones off the score board. On a broken up play by Saber, Cameron Delisle, stole the puck and skated down the ice on a break away. Delisle went five hole and put one past the Cyclones goalie on a short handed bid to give Berlin the lead 1-0. The Cyclones went on a two man advantage and were unable to score. Awesome saves by Grover and

defensive work by, RickyLambert, Dominick Paradis, Johnston, and Cael Jewett, left the Cyclones to just a few shots on net. Back at full strength, Tyler Rousseau, broke out with the puck in the last minutes of the period to put Berlin up by two on an unassisted goal. Berlin’s Grover, along with the Cyclones goalie, both faced ten shots each. In the second period, the home team went on the attack, putting Berlin back on its heels a bit. Strong defensive play and sound goal tending kept the period scoreless. Grover faced 13 shots in the second period. The third period was all Berlin. The offensive staff would go to work, on the Cyclones net minder keeping him scrambling. Finally after a hand full of breakaways, Scarinza would light the lamp to put Berlin up by three. Grover was brilliant in recording his second shutout in three games. Total shots for game was Berlin 31, and the Cyclones 30.

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

WHITEFIELD — Senior captain Jake Drouin scored a pair of goals, helping the Berlin Mountaineers to a 4-0 victory or White Mountain Regional high school in Whitefield Monday. Drouin got Berlin on the board at the 30:05 mark. A throw-in and a flick on by Levi Arsenault allowed Drouin to one touch his header into the goal

for a 1-0 lead. Seven minutes later, Arsenault was play-maker once again. This time he set up teammate Dimitri Giannos to give Berlin a 2-0 advantage. The goal was the sixth of the year for Giannos. By half time, shots on goal had Berlin at 8 and White Mountains at 4. Mountie Curtis Arsenault had four blocks and the Spartan’s Greenly was forced to make six saves. In the second half, sophomore Ryan

Huskie boys rough-up Lumberjacks 7-0 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LINCOLN — Hunter Lambertson scored five goals, powering the Gorham boys soccer team to a decisive 7-0 victory over the Linwood Lumberjacks in Lincoln recently. Senior Jon Chabot netted an unassisted goal at the 30:36 mark of the first half. Chabot picked up a loose ball, carried it down the right side, and fired a low drive to the short side from eight yards out for a 1-0 lead. In the second half, Lambertson put on an offensive clinic, first scoring an unassisted goal at 47:40. It was a rebound goal that was shot towards the lower left corner from 10 yards out. Three minutes later, Lambertson scored unassisted at 50:12. The Huskie forward picked up a clearing attempt around the 25 yard line, dribble past two Linwood defenders, and shot towards the low right corner from 12 yards out and a 3-0 lead. Chabot netted another unassisted goal at 13:33 of the second half. The shot came off of a direct kick from a Linwood tripping foul. The well placed shot went past the wall into the upper right from 20 yards away. The goal was Chabot’s third of the fall. Lambertson took over the rest of the scoring for the remainder of the game. At the 58:06 mark, the goal was set up by team mate Brady Fauteux. Fauteux made a nice crossing ball from the right wing. Lambertson headed the pass into the net from five

yards out beating the Linwood keeper to the upper left corner and a five goal advantage. Lambertson’s goal at 27:34 of the second half came from the foot of Kyle Boisselle. The duo worked a nice give and go combination from both players sending Hunter in on a breakaway. His shot from 10 yards out beat keeper to the lower left corner. Lambertson from Kyle Boisselle got together once again at 31:07. It was an almost identical play through the middle. Linwood goal keeper Jon Rich did get a piece of the shot. However, there was enough on the shot to get it by him for the 7-0 Gorham lead. The five goals elevated Lambertson to a season total of seventeen. “An important win after a fairly long layoff,” said Gorham coach Billy Goodrich. “The team was a bit flat coming out, however, we managed to pick up tempo in the second half and create some very good scoring opportunities. Hunter really showed some great composure in front of the goal and his five goals matches the most I have had a player ever score in one game. I give Linwood a lot of credit as they continued to battle and play with a lot of heart though being down.” Gorham will host Woodsville at home on Wednesday for their final regular season home game. GHS 1 6-7 LHS 0 0-0 Scoring: GHS- Lambertson Chabot 2, LHS- none.

Richard netted an unassisted goal at 15:20 of the second half. There was a scramble in front of the Spartan goal and the ball deflected out to Ryan in the air and he buried it in the lower right hand corner on a header. The goal was Richard’s ninth of the Fall. At 25:05, Drouin was assisted by Ryan Richard and Zack Bacon. The senior defender made an unbelievable save on the sideline in the air and sent the ball to the sideline to Ryan Richard. Richard took the ball down the left hand side and made a great 45 degree angle pass to Drouin once the keeper committed to Richard. Drouin had the whole net and he just tapped it in for his twelfth goal of the season and a 4-0 lead. Shots for Berlin in the second half were eight and for the visitors five. Arsenault added five more blocks to his total. Greenly had three more saves for the Spartans. “Very good team effort today, said coach Craig Melanson. “White Mt. came out with a bit of urgency today.

It was their senior day/ makeup for homecoming so they were a bit pumped up. I thought we controlled the game from the get go. Jesse Deblois is back to his form and he did an unbelievable job shutting down Mason Cliché who is White Mt.’s best player. Levi Arsenault played phenomenal for us off the bench for us getting things going with his tenacious play at the striker position. Zack Bacon was like one of those water bugs you see on the lake just moving everywhere and playing every ball with a purpose. Like I said, this was a big game for us in the standings and the kids rose to the occasion”. Berlin’s last game of the regular season will be on Wednesday, senior day.

Josh Laird wins Ouellette Trucking Frostbite 250 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GROVETON—Mother Nature tried her best to slow down Maine’s Josh Laird during the Ouellette Trucking Frostbite 250. However, a good set of windshield wipers and a car that stuck to the bottom part of the race track helped Laird to the victory at Groveton’s Riverside Speedway Saturday. The speedway also crowned its four remaining divisional champions at the conclusion of their featured events. Shawna Whitcomb, Jason Wyman, Chandler Davis, and Dave “Smoke” Gyger, were all crowned champions for 2011 and will be honored along with Ben Belanger, Matt Carbone, and Jeff Marshall on Saturday Novemeber 12th at the Town & Country Motor Inn. The Griffin Family Angels division rolled onto the high banks for their 25 lap main event. 2011 champion Whitcomb drew the pole in the final race of 2011 and appeared to be well on her way to victory. The lapped car of first time racer Sara Kelly made contact with Whitcomb, sending her #21 into the infield and through the huge puddle that had accumulated from earlier rains. The caution flew and the duo was sent to the back of the field. That opened the door for 2010 champion Allison Barney. Barney had a rear view mirror full of Tracie Nelson. A three wide finish had Barney just barley holding on to defeat Nelson. Third place went to WMMP’s Lisa Hodgdon in her #0. Youngster Jenna Randall was fourth and Vanessa Brown fifth, rounding out the top five. A huge field of Twisted Tea Dwarf cars were on hand nineteen strong for their final event of the year. Time trials were used for the first segment and the Riverside regulars did not disappoint the Riverside faithful, taking five of the six fastest times. Dave “Smoke” Gyger ran the fastest time at 13:52. Bobby Riley, Rod Knudson, Jason Wyman (first time in a Dwarf Car), and Rusty Bryant rounded out the top five spots in the time trials. Gyger received the $100 dollar bonus for being the fastest time trialer from the Franconia Auto Service Team. The field was inverted for the second event. Bryant weaved his #4 through the field from his fifteenth starting position to win the second segment. Dennis O’Brien went second, Stephane Caron in the #99, Rob Poloski in the #43, and Gyger completed the top five. The field was again inverted final the third and final segment of twenty-five laps. This time it was Wyman taking the checkers in his new #88. Wyman was followed to the stripe by the courageous and tough Kevin Scott Hockman, racing with broken

ribs from a wreck a few weeks back. Bryant, O’Brien, and Gyger completed the top five. After totalling up the points from all three segments, the overall winner was Rusty Bryant, second went to Gyger, and the third spot was claimed by O’Brien in his #16 machine. Gyger was recognized as the 2011 champion of the division. The JA Corey Outlaws had a smaller than normal field, due to the weather forecast and the PASS Sportsman racers being rescheduled at Oxford on the same day as Riverside. Jourdan Davis and Tiger Tour competitor Brian Gosselin brought the field to green for their 50 lapper. The Outlaws went all 50 laps without caution. Davis was able to keep Gosselin behind him to take the win. Gosselin had a rear view mirror full of veteran Doug Laleme in #74 to make it into victory lane. Matt LeBlanc finished fourth with Mike Paquett rounding out the top five. 2011 champion Chandler Davis had a very anxious moment when the transmisson let go during warm-up laps. Davis came into pit prior to the start of the feature and had his tires put on the #97 of Alex Rooney’s racer. That move enabled Davis to lay claim to the 2011 championship. It was the big Frostbite 250 that came out for their feature, 45 racers strong.

Speedway officials decided to put all the racers on an even racing surface by adding some cooking oil and water to turns one and two. The racers tip toed through the turn and displayed great driving skills, keeping their racers from leaving the track. Laird, Jason Wyman, and Cody LeBlanc, all shared early leader status through the first 100 laps. Just as it appeared that the track was beginning to get racy, Mother Nature opened up and completely drenched the racing surface. LeBlanc was the first victim of the rain, making hard contact with the front stretch wall and destroying his car. Drivers that kept their windshield wipers appeared to have the upper hand, skillfully maneuvering in and out of traffic. When it was all said and done, Laird had completed the 250 laps first. Wyman, Nick Pilotte, Ricky Dennis, and Jeff Spooner rounded out the top five. Wyman was then called back to center stage, receiving the spoils of a championship season in the Jiffy Mart Cyclone division. The next event for the speedway will be its banquet of champions, to be held on November 12th.
