Rite Aid buildings to come down in next two months BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- The remaining block of downtown buildings purchased by Rite Aid Corporation back in 1998 will be demolished within the next couple of months. “The entire property will be razed,” said Rite Aid spokeswoman Ashley Flower. Berlin Fire Chief Randall Trull said he notified Rite Aid by certified mail in September that the four buildings presented a safety and fire hazard. The windows in one building had to be boarded up earlier this fall after vandals broke all the glass.

Trull said the fire department used the ladder truck to take aerial photographs of the roofs which appear ready to cave in. The fire chief said the construction of the buildings is such that if the roofs cave in this winter, the walls will come down as well and debris will fall into the street. “They can’t leave those buildings in that condition. They’re in bad shape. They’re definitely an eyesore, they’re definitely dangerous, and they definitely have to be removed, “ Trull said. Three of the buildings have been vacant for years. J.C. Penney leased space in one building until last summer when it closed its Berlin store.

The city was prepared to take Rite Aid to court under state statute 155-B to force action, but Trull said Rite Aid responded promptly and agreed to demolish the buildings within the time frame mandated by 155B. Rite Aid had 21 days to submit a plan which the fire chief received on Oct. 17. “We evaluated our options and decided it is in the best interests of the company and the community to raze the buildings, “ Flower said. She said Rite Aid is currently soliciting bids from contractors to do the demolition. Trull said Rite Aid has 60 days from Oct. 17 to see BUILDINGS page 15

Cities begin crackdown on ‘Occupy’ protests OAKLAND, Calif. (NY Times) — After weeks of cautiously accepting the teeming round-the-clock protests spawned by Occupy Wall Street, several cities have come to the end of their patience and others appear to be not far behind. In Oakland, in a scene reminiscent of the antiwar protests of the 1960s, the police filled downtown streets with tear gas late Tuesday to stop throngs of protesters from re-entering a City Hall plaza that had been cleared of their encampment earlier in the day. Those protests, which resulted in more than 100 arrests and at least one life-threatening injury, had appeared ready to ignite again on Wednesday night as supporters of the Occupy movement promised to retake the square, where the encampment site was fenced off. After about an hour of speeches, the crowd removed the fences around the site. The number of protesters swelled to about 3,000 people, but the demonstration remained peaceful. Leaders led a series of calland-response chants. “Now the whole world is watching Oakland,” was one phrase that was repeated as passing cars honked in approval. The police had gone, compared with a heavy presence the night before.

Economic growth in U.S. speeds up

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

(NY Times) — Economic growth in the United States picked up in the third quarter, the Commerce Department said Thursday, in an encouraging sign that the recovery, while still painfully slow, has not stalled. Total output grew at an estimated annual rate of 2.5 percent from July to September, still modest but almost double the 1.3 percent rate in the second quarter, the department reported. The pace, however, was not brisk enough

to recover the ground lost in the economic bust, lower unemployment or even substantially dispel fears of a second recession. Still, the report offered a small helping of reassurance. “It ain’t brilliant, but at least it’s heading in the right direction,” said Ian Shepherdson, the chief United States economist for High Frequency Economics, a data analysis firm. “I want to see 4 percent, but given that people were talking about a new recession, I’ll take 2.5 or 3, thanks very much.”

Slapping at Syria, Turkey shelters anti-Assad fighters ANTAKYA, Turkey (NY Times) — Once one of Syria’s closest allies, Turkey is hosting an armed opposition group waging an insurgency against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, providing shelter to the commander and dozens of members of the group, the Free Syrian Army, and allowing them to orchestrate attacks across the border from inside a camp guarded by the Turkish military. The support for the insurgents

comes amid a broader Turkish campaign to undermine Mr. Assad’s government. Turkey is expected to impose sanctions soon on Syria, and it has deepened its support for an umbrella political opposition group known as the Syrian National Council, which announced its formation in Istanbul. But its harboring of leaders in the Free Syrian Army, a militia composed of defectors from the Syrian armed forces, may be its most striking challenge so far to Damascus.

FRANKFURT (NY Times) — European banks may win back a measure of confidence from a plan that would compel them to arm themselves for a plunge in the value of Greek debt. The mandatory recapitalization was one of the main achievements of European leaders’ summit meeting that ran into the early hours Thursday in Brussels. But it will not be enough to erase doubts about banks’ creditworthiness and restore their access to international money markets, analysts said. The big problem is that Italy, with its dysfunctional politics and nearly 2 trillion euro, or around $2.8 trillion, in outstanding debt, has supplanted Greece as the biggest threat to European banks and the biggest source of investor anxiety. If Italy were to have trouble servicing its debt, no amount of fresh capital could protect the European banking system.

The consensus forecast of economists shows continued growth at about a 2 percent rate for the rest of this year and all of 2012. That would be an improvement over the first half of this year, but a strong recovery would require a rate closer to 4 percent. In the 25 years prior to the recession, the United States economy grew at about 3.25 percent a year, though demographic changes have led to lower expectations for future growth even in a healthy economy.

Town of Milan Tax Rate for 2011

The new tax rate for Milan was set by the State Department of Revenue based on funding decisions made at the 2011 school and town meeting in March. Overall, the rate has increased $2.00 to a rate of $17.59. The 2010 rate was $15.59. This new tax rate is based made up of the following parts: 2011 rate 2010 rate %change Town of Milan $2.65 $3.02 -12 Coos County $4.04 $3.48 +16 Local school $8.65 $6.69 +29 $2.40 -6 State school $2.25 Total tax rate $17.59 $15.59 +13 Although the local school budget for the 2011-12 school year increased only $12, 596 or 0.4%, there was substantially less surplus funding available this year for tax relief compared to last year.

New Hampshire gets winter preview with October snowfall FRANCONIA NOTCH — Morning rain changed to wet snow for some on Thursday, giving many in New Hampshire their first snowfall of the season before Halloween. The snowfall was visible on the tree line in Franconia Notch, though most had melted before hitting the ground. Meteorologist Kevin Skarupa said most areas would see 1 to 3 inches, except for north of the northern White Mountains, which would see little to no snow, and Manchester to the coast, which would see a coating to an inch. Many people visiting the Notch were expecting to catch the tail-end of the foliage season. Instead, they were treated to the season’s first taste of winter. “I’m not a winter or snow person,” said one visitor from North Carolina. “I moved from Missouri to get away

from snow, so it’s not my favorite, but the first one is always so exciting.” Another visitor was excited that ski season was approaching. The skies were expected to clear for Friday, with temperatures in the 40s. A storm developing off the coast of North Carolina looks like it will just miss New Hampshire on Saturday. If that track holds, sunny skies are expected for the weekend. According to Skarupa, since 1870, there have been 12 years where it snowed more than .1 inches in Concord in October. He said those seasons actually finished with lower-thanaverage snowfall.

Help BHS students go to Carnegie Hall To the editor: A Little Help from our friends: Last year, BHS choral students auditioned to perform the Octovo Series at Carnegie Hall in mid-town Manhattan, and they were selected. The fourteen participants are preparing to represnet us in this prestigious New York City concert hall. The package cost is $1000 per student performer and

they plan a numbers of fundraisers to make this honor possible. Last week, they hald a car wash. This Saturday, tomorrow, they’ll be out doing a road toll at the park common across the IGA. Slow down, bare left and stop at their stand and give our talented kids a helping hand. Dick Poulin Berlin

My thanks to the Berlin Recreation Dept. To the editor: I would like everyone to know how wonderful the Berlin Recreation Department is. On Sunday I took my little buddy to Community Park for some exercise and to swing. The swing is his favorite at the park. Unfortunately some inconsiderate person or persons felt the need to destroy the swing and broke it. My little buddy went to the park again on Monday and was heartbroken to see his favorite swing out of commission. On Tuesday morning I called the Berlin Recreation Department

and spoke to Terry Letarte about the problem at the park and she said she would have someone look into it as soon they could. By Tuesday afternoon on my way home I noticed that they had already repaired the swing and another one that had been broken. It made me feel good to see this kind of commitment from the city of Berlin. I would like to personally thank everyone at the Berlin Recreation Department for all that you do. It does not go unnoticed. Thank you very much. Thomas Sutton Sr. Berlin

Citizens should not suffer because of greed To the editor: Representative Gene Green, Democrat-Texas, has all us retirees on social security feeling like we should celebrate over being given a 3.6 percent raise starting this January. Let me say this about that.

We weren’t given a raise the last two years. Instead, we were told that the cost of living hadn’t gone up so we weren’t entitled to a raise. In that time Congress gave themselves plenty of raises because of the cost of living see GREED page 5

Ithaca Bound

Enlightening the World The very sight of her has thrilled, even emotionally overwhelmed, countless millions, as they catch first sight of her standing tall, torch held high, a tablet clasped close to her breast, enduring whatever storms may swirl around her crown-topped head. Today, the 28th of October, marks the 125th anniversary of her official dedication in 1886. She, to we Americans, is known as the Statue of Liberty. To the French, whose gift to us she was, and especially to the man who fashioned her, Frederick Auguste Batholdi (1834-1904), she is called “Liberty Enlightening the World,” her official title. That title reveals the true intent of what the statue was meant to symbolize. Of course, Batholdi and the French meant French enlightenment. (How all nations do bask in their own nationalistic thinking!) But enlightenment is enlightenment, and that is never a bad thing. Lady Liberty was not intended to be a welcoming beacon for the poor and the oppressed of the world. But things have a way of taking on a life of their own, a life often very different from what was originally intended. It didn’t take long for the Lady with the Torch to take on the symbol of hope for the millions of people who came seeking a new life in a new land. The poem that had been written to help raise funds for the building of the statue’s base and to give meaning to the statue itself, and then had been all but forgotten, playing no part in the dedication ceremony, was rediscovered, and gave to the statue the meaning that it now holds for most of us. The poem was called “The New Colossus,” and it was written by Emma Lazarus (18491887). A Jewish poetess who, in many ways, was ahead of her time, she saw the statue in a somewhat different light than most of her time. And that vision saw expression in every line of her poem. Especiallyso in its last few lines. Do we all recall them? “Give me your tired, your poor,/ your huddled masses yearning to breathe fee,/ The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,/ Send these, the homeless, tempest-

tossed to me./ I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” Talk about enlightenment! Ms. Lazarus herself embodied both of Lady Liberty’s symbolisms, and spent her all too short life working for their realization. Israel Isadore Baline’s family was among those who fled the pogroms of the Russian Czar in the early Twentieth Century. In time, young Israel would Americanize his name to Irving Berlin (1888-1989) and become one of his adopted country’s most beloved song writers. (“God Bless America,” “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas,” “Easter Parade,” and “Alexander’s Ragtime Band.”) Irving Berlin’s life would be a symbol of what Emma Lazarus’ poem was trying to say. In 1949, he was asked to write the score for a new musical being written by Robert E. Sherwood. It was to be called “Miss Liberty,” and its plot was to revolve around the search for the woman whose picture was the inspiration for the face of the statue and the building of the statue itself. Berlin readily agreed. Although the show fell far short of its expectations, a couple of Berlin’s songs stood out. One of these was the show’s finale – “Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor.” In the song, Irving Berlin found the inspiration that most of the rest of his score lacked. Perhaps he recalled sailing by the statue as young boy years earlier. A personal note: I was in high school, singing in the choir, when the show opened in 1949. A choral arrangement of “Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor” was soon made available, and I well remember the emotions and the expectations it brought as our choir sang it.) As with most symbols in this world, “Liberty Enlightening the World” has yet to achieve its full realization. But on this, its 125th anniversary, it still stands patiently in New York Harbor.

Crony Capitalism Comes Home Whenever I write about Occupy Wall Street, some readers ask me if the protesters really are half-naked Communists aiming to bring down the American economic system when they’re not doing drugs or having sex in public. The answer is no. That alarmist view of the movement is a credit to the (prurient) imagination of its critics, and voyeurs of Occupy Wall Street will be disappointed. More important, while alarmists seem to think that the movement is a “mob” trying to overthrow capitalism, one can make a case that, on the contrary, it highlights the need to restore basic capitalist principles like accountability. To put it another way, this is a chance to save capitalism from crony capitalists. I’m as passionate a believer in capitalism as anyone. My Krzysztofowicz cousins (who didn’t shorten the family name) lived in Poland, and

their experience with Communism taught me that the way to raise living standards is capitalism. But, in recent years, some financiers have chosen to live in a government-backed featherbed. Their platform seems to be socialism for tycoons and capitalism for the rest of us. They’re not evil at all. But when the system allows you more than your fair share, it’s human to grab. That’s what explains featherbedding by both unions and tycoons, and both are impediments to a well-functioning market economy. When I lived in Asia and covered the financial crisis there in the late 1990s, American government officials spoke scathingly about “crony capitalism” in the region. As Lawrence Summers, then a deputy Treasury secretary, put it in a speech in August 1998: “In Asia, the see CAPITALISM page 5

problems related to ‘crony capitalism’ are at the heart of this crisis, and that is why structural reforms must be a major part” of the International Monetary Fund’s solution. The American critique of the Asian crisis was correct. The countries involved were nominally capitalist but needed major reforms to create accountability and competitive markets. Something similar is true today of the United States. So I’d like to invite the finance ministers of Thailand, South Korea and Indonesia — whom I and other Americans deemed emblems of crony capitalism in the 1990s — to stand up and denounce American crony capitalism today. Capitalism is so successful an economic system partly because of an internal discipline that allows for loss and even bankruptcy. It’s the possibility of failure that creates the opportunity for triumph. Yet many of America’s major banks are too big to fail, so they can privatize profits while socializing risk. The upshot is that financial institutions boost leverage in search of supersize profits and bonuses. Banks pretend that risk is eliminated because it’s securitized. Rating agencies accept money to issue an imprimatur that turns out to be meaningless. The system teeters, and then the taxpayer rushes in to bail bankers out. Where’s the accountability? It’s not just rabble-rousers at Occupy Wall Street who are seeking to put America’s capitalists on a more capitalist footing. “Structural change is necessary,” Paul Volcker, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, said in an important speech last month that discussed many of these themes. He called for more curbs on big banks, possibly including trimming their size, and he GREED from page 4

going up and they weren’t 3.6 percent. In the meantime the price of gas, groceries, and everything else has gone through the roof. Congress and the President are supposed to look after consumers in the United States. They are supposed to be on guard against price gouging. Price gouging by the oil companies has been going on now for over six years and has resulted in oil companies amassing a fortune while

warned that otherwise we’re on a path of “increasingly frequent, complex and dangerous financial breakdowns.” Likewise, Mohamed El-Erian, another pillar of the financial world who is the chief executive of Pimco, one of the world’s largest money managers, is sympathetic to aspects of the Occupy movement. He told me that the economic system needs to move toward “inclusive capitalism” and embrace broad-based job creation while curbing excessive inequality. “You cannot be a good house in a rapidly deteriorating neighborhood,” he told me. “The credibility and the fair functioning of the neighborhood matter a great deal. Without that, the integrity of the capitalist system will weaken further.” Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist, adds that some inequality is necessary to create incentives in a capitalist economy but that “too much inequality can harm the efficient operation of the economy.” In particular, he says, excessive inequality can have two perverse consequences: first, the very wealthy lobby for favors, contracts and bailouts that distort markets; and, second, growing inequality undermines the ability of the poorest to invest in their own education. “These factors mean that high inequality can generate further high inequality and eventually poor economic growth,” Professor Katz said. Does that ring a bell? So, yes, we face a threat to our capitalist system. But it’s not coming from half-naked anarchists manning the barricades at Occupy Wall Street protests. Rather, it comes from pinstriped apologists for a financial system that glides along without enough of the discipline of failure and that produces soaring inequality, socialist bank bailouts and unaccountable executives. It’s time to take the crony out of capitalism, right here at home. the country has gone into an economic tailspin. The spiraling cost of gas and oil has caused economic hardship on this country and nothing has been done about it. Just another job poorly done by our president and Congress. This nation’s citizens should not suffer as they do because of greed. This nation should be better that that. Ray Losier Berlin

Arts in Early Learning Conference is November 19 in Berlin BERLIN — “The World Around Me” is the subject of a lively, participatory Arts in Early Learning conference on Saturday, November 19, from 9 a.m. to noon at White Mountains Community College, Berlin. The conference, for which there is no charge, is for all those who work and play with young children — teachers, librarians, pre-school and childcare administrators and care providers, teaching artists, parents and grandparents. “A critical part of young children’s development is experiencing the excitement of discovering and exploring the various environments that surround them,” notes lead instructor and longtime educator and children’s musician Deborah Stuart. “We want to offer a variety of ways for children to learn more about the environments they already know, and to introduce them to the environments they haven’t yet experienced — for rural children, finding out about cities; for those children who haven’t had many outdoor encounters, learning about the natural world, and for all of us, a chance to celebrate the forests and mountains of New Hampshire. In this conference we look at how to use the arts to make these encounters memorable and meaningful. The links between arts learning and books, storytelling and language are absolutely central.” Through creative movement, music, puppetry, creative drama and visual arts, participants will be offered a wealth of lessons and activities they can use with children in classrooms, childcare settings, community sites and at home. Particular attention will be given to meeting the needs of children with developmental and learning differences. Activities will include the creation of murals of four different environments — city, village, rural and forests/mountains, which will be used as backdrops for the various performance art components — dance, music and drama. Participants will also create tableaux, try bubble painting and wet on wet painting, and make butterfly puppets that can be worn on wrists or attached to rods. There is no charge for the Berlin conference. Professional development credits are offered. Particular attention will be given to meeting the needs of

Operation Christmas Child underway MILAN -- Would you like to provide a destitute child, in an undeveloped country, with a joyous Christmas this year? Operation Christmas child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, was started in 1993 to allow individuals to do just that, by packing a shoe box with simple items like a wash cloth, soap, toothbrush and toothpaste, cuddly toy or surprised how much can be packed in a shoebox). The box and top are Christmas wrapped separately and secured with a large rubber band. A sticker is attached showing the box is for a girl or boy and a choice of three age ranges. They also ask for a donation of $7 in each box, to help pay for the costs of shipping these boxes around the world but this is not mandatory. Operation Christmas child, the world’s largest Christmas project, is calling on local kids, families, churches, businesses, schools and community groups to fill shoe boxes full of gifts for children overseas who are suffering from diseases, famine, war, terrorism and natural disasters. The Milan Community United Methodist Church has been participating in this effort for 15 years and is also acting as relay center, where these shoe boxes can be delivered. We pack them in large cartons, and deliver them to a “collection center”, which in turn

sens them by tractor trailers to a huge processing center in Boone, North Carolina. There they are checked to insure there are no liquids or soft candy or war related items, etc. Then Christian material (in 55 different languages) is included in all boxes, which are then flown to over 100 countries world wide. They are then carried by every means possible, from helicopters and trucks to elephants and canoes, to points of distribution at orphanages, schools, local village churches, etc. Starting over 8 million last year. But even 8 million is only a tiny percentage of the hundreds of millions of destitute children in the world. For most of these children, the shoe box will be the first gift they have ever received and the first indication that they are loved by anyone. So this year think about giving a small gift that will probably supply more joy and at the same time do more long lasting good than any other gift you will give. Also, think about any organization that might want to do this as a group project of selfless giving. Call, Roger Jones at 752-3201 for the necessary materials and details. Boxes will be received at the Milan Methodist Church from 4-6 p.m. the afternoon from Nov. 14, to 19, or by special arrangement.

CCFH hires new family practice provider BERLIN -- Coos County Family Health Services has hired a new family practice provider this summer, who will be working from the Page Hill Medical Office. Dr Sandra Benckendorf was introduced to the public at the opening of National Health Center Week at the Pleasant Street Clinic in Berlin Thursday, August 11, 2011. Dr. Benckendorf is a Family Practice specialist with 31 years’ experience at major health centers at Peoria and Champaign,Ill., and is moving to Berlin from her practice in Morton, Ill. Prior to that, she served at the Order of St. Francis Medical Group, a comprehensive, integrated network of health care facilities, services, physicians and employees in Illinois and Michigan. Dr. Benckendorf has co-authored and published articles on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorders in the American Academy of Family Physicians Continuing Education Self-Assessment course and the efficacy of child restraint auto seats in the Illinois Medical Journal, and has attained added certifications in Geriatrics. She also developed a new protocol for breast cancer radiation therapy.

74 Tips To Extend the Life of Your Car Care and Maintenance Tips Keep Your Car Running in Top-Notch Condition We’ve compiled our best expert advice, surprising tricks, and car care tips to prolong the life of your automobile! 1. Be patient during the break-in period You’ve bought your dream car and now you want to make it last at long as possible in top condition. Here are some things to remember as you pull it out of the dealer’s lot: * During the break-in period, typically the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km), keep your speed under 55 mph (88 kpm) or to the speed recommended by your car’s manufacturer. * Avoid heavy loads on the drive train, such as towing trailers, and

loading the roof rack or trunk with heavy construction materials. * Do not allow your new car to idle for long periods — this is good advice for the life of your car, but especially during breakin. The oil pressure generated by doing so may not be sending oil to every part of your engine. * Use only light to medium acceleration, keeping the engine rpms below 3,000 for the first few hours of driving. 2. Drive with care everyday Being car considerate shouldn’t stop after the break-in. Drive with care every day and your car will reward you with longer intervals without repair. * Do not race your car’s engine during start-up.This is a quick way to add years of wear to your engine,

especially if it’s cold outside. * Accelerate slowly when you begin your drive.The most wear to the engine and drive train occurs in the first ten to twenty minutes of operation. * Warming the engine by letting it idle in the driveway is not a smart idea.The engine doesn’t operate at its peak temperature, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion, soot deposits on cylinder walls, oil contamination, and ultimately damaged components. * Put less strain on your engine and automatic transmission by shifting to neutral at red lights. Otherwise, the engine is still working to push the car even while it’s stopped. * Avoid driving at high speeds and accelerating quickly, especially when it’s very hot or very cold outside. Such driving behavior will result in more frequent repairs. * Extend the life of your tires with careful driving. Observe posted speed limits. Avoid fast starts, stops, and turns. Avoid potholes and objects on the road. Don’t run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking. And, of course, don’t burn rubber. * When turning your steering wheel, don’t hold it in an extreme right or left position for more than a few seconds. Doing so can damage the power-steering pump. * Consolidate your short driving trips. Most of the wear and tear — as well as the pollution your car generates — takes place in the first few minutes of driving. Doing several errands at once, during low traffic hours if possible, will keep your engine happier longer. 3. Buy gas at reputable service stations Ask whether the gas you buy is filtered at the pump and if the station has a policy about changing the pump filters regularly. If you get a song and dance, find another gas station. Some stations don’t have pump filters, making you more vulnerable to dirty gasoline. Other stations may not mix alcohol and fuel properly — or worse, water down their product. Find a station you trust and stick to it. 4. Don’t fill up if you see the tanker If you happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks at your local gas station, come back another day or go to a different station. As the station’s underground tanks are being filled, the turbulence can stir up sediment. Sediment in your gas can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance and possibly necessitating repairs. 5. Go easy when you’re stuck When stuck in mud or snow, don’t make the problem worse by damaging an expensive component. Gently rocking in an attempt to free the car is fine. But if it looks as though you’re really stuck, don’t keep at it. Throwing your car from forward to

reverse repeatedly, as well as spinning tires at high speeds, can generate lots of heat and spell trouble for transmissions, clutches, and differentials. It may be cheaper in the long run to call the tow truck rather than risk big repair bills down the road. It’s a good idea to carry a traction aid in the trunk, such as sand, gravel, or cat litter. 6. Lighten up your key chain Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition.The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure.To add years of service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it before you get stranded. 7. Choose a good car insurer Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, disaster inevitably strikes — typically in the form of an accident. Make sure that your car will be repaired to the best possible standard by finding an insurer that will pay for parts from the original manufacturer and guarantee the repairs it authorizes. 8. Keep an auto log Keep a pad and pencil in the glove our gas fill-ups and mileage. If you notice that your gas mileage worsens, mention it to your service man. It may be an early warning sign that something is wrong with your car. 9. Preserve your car during longterm storage If you are not going to use your car for more than a month, store it properly to prevent unnecessary damage and repairs upon your return. * Fill the gas tank to help prevent condensation from accumulating in the gas tank. Add a fuel stabilizer and drive the car around a bit to distribute the additive to engine parts. * Wash and wax the car thoroughly to protect the finish. * Place a vapor barrier on your garage floor. A 4-mil polyethylene drop cloth will do. * Disengage the parking brake to help avoid brake corrosion. * Put the car on jack stands to take the weight of the vehicle off the wheels and tires. * Disconnect and remove the battery to keep it from draining. Place the battery on a trickletype charger. Or periodically drain the battery, using a small light bulb, and then recharge it with a low-volt charger. * Plug the tailpipe with a rag to prevent moist air from infiltrating into it.

Ride Safe on your Snowmobile: Safety tips from Fish and Game Operating a snowmobile can be very rewarding, giving you the chance to see and experience many areas of the state that often aren’t accessible during our cold winters, but don’t become a statistic! The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department urges all snow machine riders to review safety precautions and ride responsibly. Following are some key snowmobile safety reminders: * Most important, be prepared for extreme conditions. Cold temperatures can be dangerous, so wear clothing that is appropriate for your winter activities. * Know your abilities and understand the capabilities of your snowmobile. Every operator and every machine have different capabilities. Identify these levels and stay below them, and you are virtually guaranteed of having a safe and enjoyable ride. * Remember trail conditions are forever changing, so make sure that you operate at a speed that is reasonable for the existing conditions. For example, at night or when operating in other low-visibility conditions, reduce your speed so that you can identify and avoid sudden hazards on the trail or lake. Always be aware of the conditions of the trail or frozen body of water when operating a snowmobile. * Don’t Drink and Ride. Never operate a snowmobile after drinking alcohol. New Hampshire has strict laws prohibiting operating any type of recreational vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you take the chance, you will lose your privileges to operate any type of recreational vehicle or motor vehicle and pay substantial fines. The Fish and Game Department and the New Hampshire Snowmobile Association continue to promote zero tolerance while operating a snowmobile. * Be especially careful on winter weekends that draw large crowds outdoors, such as the Annual Meredith Rotary Club Fishing Derby in February, which brings thousands of anglers out onto New Hampshire’s lakes. * Always be careful to test ice safety, even freezing temperatures have occurred. Many factors affect how ice freezes, so ice thickness will not be same

throughout a lake. Always check the thickness and condition of the ice before going out and while you are heading to your secret ice-fishing spot. Avoid inlets and outlets and other areas of the lake where there is current, such as springs or natural formations. The ice in these areas will be thinner and not as strong. Avoid objects embedded in the ice; these warm as they attract sunlight, weakening the ice. * Skimming is illegal! The dangerous practice of operating snowmobiles on open water or “skimming” is illegal in New Hampshire.

Fall car care Keep your eye peeled for deals on these car care tips. The Tires Winter isn’t a good time to have bald tires. If they’re completely worn out or don’t have a lot of tread left, it’s time to replace them. If they look good, have your tires rotated to extend their life. If you have to replace your tires, replace all four because your tires are only as good as the worst one. Coolant/Antifreeze Ideally, your radiator should be flushed and refilled with fresh coolant once per year but most of us don’t do that. How long has it been since you’ve flushed your radiator? You might want to get that done with your next oil change. Windshield Wipers If they aren’t doing a good job with rain, they’re definitely not going to do well with sleet, snow, salt, and dirt. An all-purpose wiper will normally do the job but for those living in regions with an extra helping of winter, buy a higher priced winter wiper. Also don’t forget your washer fluid. The cheap, summer mixture will freeze just when you need it most so buy the higher quality washer fluid. Even better, purchase the winter mix that is guaranteed not to freeze.

Engine Does your engine sound strange? Does it sound like something has taken up residence in your engine? If it’s bad in the summer it’s going to get worse in the winter and that’s not the time to break down. Get it checked out now. Also make sure to change all of the filters and make sure your oil is new. Fuel For those in a place where winter is quite the formidable foe, pour a bottle of fuel deicer in the tank one per month to keep moisture from freezing in your fuel line. If you have ever had to pay to repair a frozen fuel line you know that the small expense of a de-icing agent now can save you a lot of money later. Bottom Line The problem with maintenance is that we pay money and what we get back is the same thing that we had before. Our car isn’t any more luxurious with a new air filter but we’re stuck paying the bill.

“Snowmobile safety is all about personal responsibilty,” says Capt. John Wimsatt, coordinator of Fish and Game’s Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle (OHRV) Program. “Accidents are usually caused by people driving carelessly, too fast, beyond their skill level, or under the influence of alcohol. Combine one or more of those factors with iffy ice and trail conditions, and things can go very wrong.” So be smart -- use caution and common sense, and you’ll have a memorable and safe winter adventure on your snow machine.

Motorcycle Snowmobile Service Just a little recap of this summers motorcycle adventures. It all started last spring in Daytona during bike week. Street bikes and Dirt bikes and warm weather, brought out for some interesting fun. A couple of trips to Rossmeyers to look at the new Harley products. Studying many motorcycles, for ideas to help our customers.Dozens of vendor displaying awesome stuff. Well our customers came out, after the roads in our area progressed from snowmobile trails to dirt tracks to dry clear somewhat smoother roads. One of the problems we came across this year was the fact that some customers would let “bug guts” dry on the fork legs,and ruin fork seals. Keep this area clean. For all of you who were patient during our busy times, thank you! I can’t thank enough the guy’s who help me. We survived Bike Week, Blessing of the bikes, and then our AVCF Poker run. With the help of our local bikers, the Cancer fund was

able to raise $4000.00 to distribute locally. Some thing else we found out this year was a few customers adding long ornamental valve caps to their wheels. WRONG, the caps hit your brake caliper and snap the valve stems.Instant flat tire. Well once again, I found out you have to respect motorcycles. labor day week end, while racing, I crashed. Five ribs,one punctured lung, six days at CMMC. But once again I was blessed with a wife and friends who came the rescue, and kept the shop going. Well a frost is on the grass this morn, and that means it’s time to pickle our bikes. Just a reminder to “ dose up” your bike with stabil or startron, hook up the “battery tender” and spray the crap out of your chrome with WD-40 to keep from rusting. Go back home and get ready to watch Speed vision,it might be a long winter. hanks to great bunch of friends and customers, Ray

Early Wednesday morning, the crew of Nelson Communications, Inc. of Center Conway, was at work, doing last minute cleaning up of the road before Pike Industries’ crew started laying the top layer of asphalt, signalling the coming finish of the road’s $1.5 million reconstruction, which began in late spring. Completion comes in the nick of time: snow and cold was predicted for the following day. Under those conditions, the asphalt final layer would have had to have been postponed until spring. In the foreground, Bryce Nelson, of Conway, attempts to stay ahead of the falling leaves with his leaf blower. In the background, Chris Moore, of N. Conway; Dave Caplette, of Conway; and Andy Hannon, of N. Conway, check the road edges in advance of the asphalt laying machines—a necessity in view of the fact that earlier in the week, a heavy truck on a private job had driven over the edge of the road underlayer, which required repair before a perfect final layer could be laid. Nelson site supervisor is William Jones, of Madison, just out of sight in this photo. (GAIL SCOTT PHOTO)

demolish the buildings. The company is required to submit a hazardous materials abatement plan to outline how it will handle any hazardous materials that may be in the buildings. Trull said he knows there is mold in the buildings and said he expects there will be some hazardous materials given the age of the buildings. Trull said Rite Aid has been cooperative and he does not anticipate any problems getting the company to move forward with the demolition. “They seem to really, really be oriented into helping us get this taken care of,” he said. Flower said once the buildings are razed, the property will be up for sale. Mayor Paul Grenier said the cost of demolishing the buildings has been a deterrent to efforts to market that section of the downtown. He said the empty lots will be attractive to developers. “There are a number of parties interested in developing these properties,” he said. City Planner Pamela Laflamme said she will be glad to see the buildings come down. She agreed with Grenier that having a clean piece of property will make it easier to attract developers. “It will be good to take down the blighted buildings in that section of the city,” she said. Rite Aid purchased a block of seven buildings

The winners of the Gourds of Gorham Contest were announced on Sunday, October 23, 2011 at the Gorham Fire Department’s Firehouse Breakfast. The Gourds of Gorham Winner in the ‘Business’ Category, Ray Bergeron from Motorcycle Snowmobile Repair, 299 Main St, Gorham. Winner in the ‘Residential’ Category, 5 year old Brenna Cloutier. The Gourds of Gorham Contest was sponsored by the Town of Gorham and The Gorham Fire & EMS Associations. The Gourds of Gorham have invaded our community and can still be seen all over town. The winners each received an award for winning the contest and will also have their names on a plaque that will hang at the town hall, where the winners of the contest will be added every year. PARADE from page one

We are looking for participants interested in entering in the parade in the form of floats, walkers, entertainers, ATV’s, and musicians. Please contact the Berlin Main Street Program office to get a “Parade Entry Form” at 752-6246 or e-mail us at berlinmainstreetprogram@gmail.com. It’s the tradition of kicking off the most wonderful time of the year by joining the community in this glorious celebration on Main Street and we are hoping that we will get a wonderful response as we have in the past. The time and dedication that our float builders and participants put into this event make it a wonderful evening for all to enjoy! Sorry, there is only one Santa Claus allowed and he is flying in first class from the North Pole, so no substitutions, please. The award for the best float will be $250 cash.

on Main and Pleasant Streets for just over $1.6 million back in 1998. The buildings were the J.C. Penney building, the former Morin Shoe/Inner Glimpse, College Apartment building, Joilette Snowshoe, the former Berlin IGA, and two apartment buildings. The company received conditional planning board approval to build a new one story drug store with a drive-up window and on-site parking for 45 vehicles. But before construction got underway, Rite-Aid ran into fiscal problems and the project was put on hold. Eventually Rite Aid purchased its current building on Pleasant Street. The city has tried over the years to spark interest in the property which has been on the market for some time. In 2004, the city received a grant to conduct a charrette that looked at redeveloping the downtown, including the Rite Aid block. Two year later, city officials tried unsuccessfully to interest a private developer in tearing down the buildings and constructing a building to lease to the state to house the Berlin District Court and Health and Human Services offices. Rite Aid has already taken down two buildings that were blighted and the former Joilette Snowshoe Club building collapsed in 2009. The four buildings left are 201 Main St., 193-9 Main St., 234 Pleasant St., and 181-187 Main St

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a reason why most organizations appoint one person to be the leader and not an entire group of people. Committees can be more trouble than they are worth. You’ll see an illustration of this today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You realize that you don’t have to own things in order to get good use out of them. You’ll do everything you need to do using what is borrowed, rented or available to the public. How convenient! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a knack for turning a necessity into an object of loveliness. The total satisfaction of seeing the manifestation of your idea will be well worth the effort you put forth in its development. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Justice never sleeps. It will be crucial to your own sleeping patterns that you sort out an unjust situation in your waking hours. Do what it takes to keep your own conscience clear, and encourage others to do the right thing, too. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will inspire and empower the people around you. The best part is that you don’t have to be in charge of things for this dynamic to happen. You simply contribute in a way that others admire. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 28). This year you solve small problems, and big ones solve themselves. With your own brand of practical magic, you’ll turn a dysfunctional scene into a highly profitable scenario. A key introduction happens in November, and it’s amazing how one person can expand your horizons. Invest in yourself and your talent in May. Aries and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 3, 22, 48 and 20.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You wouldn’t mind hearing about how brilliant you are, and yet, strangely, those around you are not mentioning it today. Here’s your astrologer, picking up the slack: You are brilliant! TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Choose your teachers carefully. Kindness and intelligence go hand in hand. Furthermore, anyone who is supposedly wise but doesn’t know how to love is a fraud. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As you expand emotionally and physically, note that the very nature of stretching is that it goes beyond the usual range of motion. That said, it doesn’t have to actually hurt to do you some good. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve been known to keep lists of important things, and yet lately you’ve fallen out of the habit. It’s true that you can remember quite a lot; however, you’ll feel much freer if you commit the items to paper instead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The outside world is cacophony. You have to close the doors to get some peace. Also, some people in your life are quite noisy, though you may not notice this until they leave. You’ll experience first-hand why silence is golden. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You get the impression that the authority figures don’t know what’s going on, at least not completely. You have a better view of the day-to-day realities at the ground level, and there is opportunity in this position. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The solution to today’s problems will be a synthesis of information from various people. Instead of asking “who” is right, you ask “what” is right. And you realize that there is not one person who holds all of the correct answers.

SIBLINGS’ SCHEME KEEPS SISTER AWAY FROM MOTHER’S FUNERAL

DEAR ABBY: My mother’s family has never been closeknit, but what they did to her was despicable. My grandmother died recently, and not one person in the family called Mom to notify her. We saw it in our local paper. No funeral details were mentioned, so we called the mortuary repeatedly only to be told arrangements were “still pending.” Mother tried to contact her sister, but got no response. She called her brother four times. He told her the same thing -- the arrangements were pending. Two days later, Mom heard from another relative that her mother had been buried in a private ceremony with only immediate family. Mother called her brother again, and was told it wasn’t true -- the arrangements were still pending. The next day, Mom and I went to the cemetery to see if the rumor was true. Imagine our sadness when we found my grandmother’s grave. Mom was heartbroken that she wasn’t able to pay her respects to her own mother. We went to my uncle to break the news to him, thinking he didn’t know, and were shocked when he admitted he had known all along about the arrangements, but that Mother’s older sister had instructed him to share no information with Mother. He said his “hands were tied” because she made him promise not to divulge any details to us. Abby, PLEASE tell your readers that no matter how dysfunctional family ties may be, everyone should be able to pay last respects to their own parent. And funeral homes should have the decency to tell callers that funeral arrangements are private rather than lying about it. -- BRENDA IN TEXAS DEAR BRENDA: My deepest sympathy to you and your mother for your loss. Regardless of what caused the falling out with her siblings, their behavior was brutal and allowed her no closure. They have made it plain that she should keep her dis-

tance, and for her own sake I hope she will. It is obvious who “runs” that family, and further contact will cause your mother only more pain and frustration. Sometimes people have to build their own family, and that’s what I recommend you do. DEAR ABBY: At 78, my dad has given up on life. After a bout with cancer in his 50s, he has gone downhill with severe depression, sleep apnea, heart issues, etc. Dad sleeps about 20 hours a day, and refuses to do anything to improve his quality of life. My mom is a vibrant woman of 70 who enjoys excellent health. She has many years ahead of her, but her quality of life has diminished because of my father. We encourage her to find some kind of life outside the home through friends, women’s groups, church groups, etc., but she’s reluctant to leave Dad. She’s a youthful person who is, basically, living with a corpse. I love my father, but his refusal to do anything to make his life better (treat his sleep apnea, get some exercise, take his meds properly) makes me realize he won’t change. I hate that two lives are being destroyed because of Dad’s choices. How can I make Mom see her life could be better? -- TROUBLED SON IN ILLINOIS DEAR TROUBLED SON: You and your mom should schedule an appointment with your father’s physician to discuss everything you have disclosed to me. His doctor needs to know he sleeps 20 hours a day and isn’t compliant in taking his meds. And you need to find out whether your father’s condition IS improvable at this point, because you may be judging him too harshly. While your mother’s life might improve if she got out more, it’s possible that if she took the time away from your dad she would feel too guilty to get the most out of it. If there are family members or friends who would stay with him while she went out, she might be more receptive. Remember, you can always suggest, but don’t push.

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

Briggs had nine blocks. The Huskies held a decided edge in corners eleven to zero. “Some of the most passionate soccer we have played all year,” said Gorham coach William Goodrich. “Losing to Woodsville earlier this year, having senior day, and just being our final regular season game seem to elevate the teams play. Although only scoring one goal we created a number of very good scoring chances off good unselfish play. Another very strong defensive

Berlin Junior High School Cross Country team has successful season BERLIN--”The Berlin Junior High School Cross Country Running Team experienced numerous team and individual achievements throughout the 2011 season. On the female side of things, Coach Steve Enman had eight runners Amanda Aversano, Dayna Bergeron, Marayah Davenport, K.C. Fortier, Vanessa Leeman, Renee Morrissette,and Tiffiney Poirier, all 6th or 7th graders, and 8th grader Kayla Lapre. These girls ran tough all season, had the full compliment of runners for all meets, never gave up and really came together as a team. The highlights of the season included strong second-place finishes at both the Kennett Invitational and the lone home meet we had in late September. Nineteen boys ran for Berlin, the second largest team of runners aside from Kennett of any schools we ran against all season. The competition was fierce each and every meet, with the likes of Kennett, Gilford, Kingswood, Winnisquam, Belmont and

Plymouth to contend with nearly each time we competed. The boys were consistent and competitive every meet and every practice. The 6th and 7th graders included: Ben Bergeron, Matt Demers, Zachary Farren, Jessie Fecteau, Trent Garcia, Jordan Lacasse, Calvin Ruediger, Jackie Smith and Carter Thompson. Eighth grader runners were: Austin Bouchard, Cory Fauteux, Cullen Fortier, Cody Miller, Keith Morin, Tim Glover, Triston Poirier, and Jordan Whiting. Austin Demers and Seth Hinkley also competed. It was a great and enjoyable season. My accolades go out to all the runners who started, finished and gave their best efforts throughout the season. Thanks also to all the parents, friends and fans of the sport who helped in many different ways at our one and only home meet. Both teams need to keep running because if you do the future of running in Berlin (at the junior high and high school level) looks bright.”

Gorham girls lose a tough one to Woodsville BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM-- The Woodsville Engineers scored a last second goal to defeat the Gorham Huskies 2-1 in a division IV girls Soccer game in Gorham last week. Gorham’s Leslee Kenison scored at 32:50 of the first half to put Gorham up 1-0. The goal was Kenison’s seventh of the season. The visitors tied it up at 8:11 of the second half. Andrea Bigelow was the goal getter for the Engineers. That set up the closing moments of the game. “The last second goal scored by Woodsville, we didn’t see who it was because of the confusion in front of the net,” said coach Jeff Stewart. “The girls played

the game with a lot of heart and desire and really wanted this one. Although the outcome was not in our favor, I believe the girls played their best game of the season and if we can play at that level we may surprise some teams in the playoffs.” Stewart continued, “I want to thank Libby and Danika for their years of dedication to the program. Both players went down with injuries during the game, but were able to come back and play hard. They showed everyone what it takes to play Gorham ladies soccer. For the game statistically, Woodsville had nine shots, made eight saves, and took six corners. Gorham had 12 shots, made five saves, and took two corners. The Gorham girls will travel to Newmarket to take on the Mules Tuesday.

Gorham girls stun number 5 Newmarket in opening round of playoffs, 3-2 NEWMARKET- Junior captain Jessica Stewart scored a pair of goals and top sniper Lily Keenan added the other, lifting the 12th ranked lady Huskies to a 3-2 victory over the Newmarket Mules in the opening round of the Division IV girls soccer playoffs Wednesday, in Newmarket. “The girls played one heck of an emotional game,” said coach Jeff Stewart. “All season long, Chris and I have been stressing the importance of starting the game with energy, intensity, and desire and they have finally found that in the last

two games.” Stewart got the Huskies on the board with 18:04 left to go in the first half. Keenan was the play maker on Stewart’s sixth goal of the season. The two teams battled back and forth for the remainder of the first half. Just two minutes into the second half, Stewart had a gargantuan individual effort that had her finish with a perfect shot over the head of Newmarket keeper Weiker for a 2-0 advantage. Just four minutes later, Keenan buried her 20th goal for the Fall on an assist from youngster Julia Labnon to push the Huskie advantage to three. However, Newmarket got to be ranked #5 for a reason and with 20 minutes to play, they turned the game around. Anolisse Schmidt got the Mules on the board to make it a 3-1 contest. Newmarket was laying it on the line and pushing everyone forward into the Gorham end. There was eight minutes to go when Newmarket’s Katrina Holmes found the back of the net past Gorham net minder Casandra Poulin to cut the home teams’ deficit to one at 3-2. The Huskies defense stiffened for the remainder of the contest and at the sound of the final whistled, the Gorham girl’s team had pulled off the upset and are headed to the quarter-finals. “Cassandra Poulin had the game of her career in net,” said Stewart. “She played with confidence and was a true inspiration.

Newport Tigers stun Lady Mountaineers, 1-0 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN-- Newport goal keeper Jenna Schurman turned away ten shots, and her team mate Julia Sullivan scored the game’s only goal, lifting the sixth ranked Tigers to an exciting 1-0 victory over the third ranked Lady Mountaineers in the quarter final round of the girls’ Division III field hockey playoffs in Berlin Saturday. The Tigers came in to the game fresh off a 2-0 victory over Profile. In the first half, Newport refused to let the Berlin girls generate any offense. The Tigers simply came ready to play, making sure that all of their players got back defensively. Berlin did not get a shot on to Schurman at all in the first half. Berlin head coach, Nicole Arguin called a first half time out at 10:02 and pleaded with her troops to stop watching and begin running. Newport caught the Berlin girls flat footed and STUN from page 22

Hayley Holmes, Maggie Currier, Stacey Holmes and Brooke Nadeau never backed down from anything they threw at us (and they did come hard).

Our powerhouse offensive threats of Leslie Kenison, Jessica Stew-

Berlin keeper Morgan Ouellet made two solid blocks to keep the visitors off the scoreboard. At the twenty-six minute mark of the first half, Newport was awarded their third corner try of the half, to Berlin’s one. The third time was the charm as Newport got the ball to Julia Sullivan on the left side. Sullivan’s shot from fifteen yards out, appeared to change direction and past Ouellet for the 1-0 Newport lead. In the second half, Berlin rarely let Newport out of their end. Berlin began an offensive on-slought that had them totally out play the Tigers. An amazing ten shots and thirteen corners, had Newport’s Schurman constantly busy. Berlin’s Thompson had a few good scoring chances that went just wide or Schurman came up with a huge save. Thompson appeared to score the game tying goal, a beautiful back-hander that sent the home town fans into a frenzy. The out-

official came in an overruled the other game official claiming that the ball struck a Berlin player, before it went into the goal, keeping the Tigers on top 1-0. That ignited the Berlin girls intensity and offensive pressure. Senior sniper Megan Hood blasted a onetimer crossing pass that found the pad of Schurman. Another shot from the right side of the net, deflected off the shoulder of a Newport defender and then struck the cross bar, staying out of the goal. With two minutes to go, Newport finally got the ball out of their end. The Berlin girls were exhausted from their all out second half attack. At the sound of the final whistle, a jubilant Tiger team, mauled their keeper celebrating the big victory. At the other end of the field, a stunned group of Lady Mountaineers, awaited to shake hands. Berlin had nothing to be ashamed of, especially after a complete domination in the second half. The winner of the day was a red hot Newport goal tender by the name of Jenna Schurman, who did her job to perfection. BHS- 0 0-0 NHS- 1 0-1 Scoring: BHS- none, NHS- Sullivan.

Haas wins bout, will box in title match Berlin Bowling Center league results BERLIN -- Berlin’s Cody Haas traveled to Brockton, Mass., this past weekend and defeated Rhode Island’s Jamal Saunders in a three round decision in the semi-finals of the prestigious Rocky Marciano Tournament. Haas advances to the finals of the amateur welter weight division on November 4 in Watertown, Mass. “It was a heck of a fight,” said local trainer Dick Kimber. “The two of them went toe to toe right from the opening bell. Cody did a better job at slipping punches, and it eventually paid off with standing eight counts in both the second and the third rounds.” Haas has had some great training to prepare for the tournament, including Kimber and Cody’s dad, Gary Haas, a former Olympic boxer. The Haas family is originally from Ohio and has transferred to the Berlin area, as Gary is a federal officer. Haas has been training for months

Mounties battle Gilford to 1-1 tie

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN-It was senior day for the Berlin boy’s soccer team. However, the Mounties had a tall task at hand, taking on probably the best team over the last five years in Division III. Gilford came into the game undefeated, while the Mountaineers had but one loss and they wanted to stay put as the second seed for the playoffs. Curtis Arsenault’s penalty kick tied the game in the second half. The remainder of regulation and two sudden death over times kept two Division III powerhouses deadlocked at 1-1 for the tie Wednesday in Berlin. The visiting Eagles got on the board first, scoring with just 2:12 to play in the first half. Devon Dormodia converted a Gilford corner that was kicked low and hard deflecting to the Eagle forward. Dormodia ran on to the loose ball and blasted it far side from in close and a 1-0 lead. The cry of urgency was repeated over and over

again from the Berlin bench. The Mounties caught a break at 5:51 of the second half. The Gilford team was whistled for a hand ball inside the penalty area, giving the Berlin squad a penalty kick. The coaching staff called upon senior captain and goal keeper Curtis Arsenault to take the kick. Arsenault picked the right time to score his first varsity goal of his career, beating Gilford’s Veazey to his left, to tie the game 1-1. Both clubs would play near midfield and tried to control the ball. The Eagles appeared to be a little fresher down the stretch and in overtime. However, Berlin did not break and kept the score tied at 1-1. For the game, Berlin’s Arsenault had nine saves in regulation and three in the overtimes. Gilford’s Veazy had six saves in regulation and was not tested by the Mounties in the overtime sessions. Gilford held an eight to four edge in corners. The tie placed the Mounties at 14-1-1 on the

Preservation Alliance recognizes PSU students /faculty with award for Berlin mural project PLYMOUTH – The New Hampshire Preservation Alliance has recognized 12 Plymouth State University art students and faculty advisor Tom Driscoll for their role in beautifying and preserving an endangered, historic Berlin, N.H., industrial building. The students designed, produced and installed 24 mural panels over damaged windows (removed for repair) at Brown Company R & D Building. The mural project transforms the building’s appearance and helps tell the story of the development and impact of what was the largest paper manufacturer in the world and also depicts key aspects of Berlin’s cultural history and heritage.

Jennifer Goodman, executive director of the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance, said the PSU contingent is among group a of 15 individuals and student groups, ages 25 and younger, who are being recognized by the Alliance for helping investigate, preserve and promote the state’s heritage on the occasion of the Alliance’s 25th anniversary. “Historic preservation activity is often seen as the purview of established practitioners or older volunteers,” said Goodman, executive director of the Preservation Alliance. “But in fact, even in our world of instant-messaging technology and global connections, young people in New Hampshire are committed to

history and celebrating and protecting special places.” PSU’s Center for Rural Partnership’s Coös County Outreach Initiative (supported by the Neil & Louise Tillotson Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation) brought together individuals from the public and private sectors to contribute to this project while creating educational opportunities for PSU students and faculty. PSU Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Julie Bernier noted the mural project embodies the institution’s commitment to supporting northern New Hampshire communities. “A project like the Coos County Outreach Initiative taps into the

intellectual resources that a University has to offer in supporting the region,” said Bernier. “This is a wonderful example of the University and community coming together.” The 768 square foot mural, composed of 4’ by 8’ paintings, was installed this past July as restoration work begins on the nearly century-old building, which is nationally significant as one of the earliest privately owned industrial R&D facilities in the United States. Within its walls, Brown Company scientists pioneered innovations in the wood pulp and paper industries, transforming the use of forest products and enhancing the value and productivity of forests across New England and the world.
