BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN— Members of Local 75 of the United Steel Workers Wednesday approved a new contract with the buyers of the Gorham mill. Local 75 announced that the proposed contract with Gorham Papers, LLC., the new buyers of the former Fraser Papers mill. The proposed contract was approved by a 152- 4 vote. “I’m very, very happy the membership supported the contract,” said Local 75 President Spanky Lozier.

PINKHAM’S GRANT— Crews Thursday rescued a man from Huntington Ravine after he was injured while climbing in Pinnacle Gully. The U.S. Forest Service reported that a 31- year old New Hampshire man was injured while ice climbing in the gully and transported to Memorial Hospital, in Conway. The U.S.F.S. hasn’t released the man’s identity until his family is notified of the incident. Authorities said that while climbing alone in the gully, the man triggered an avalanche and was carried 1,300 feet. He was injured during the avalanche. The initial report through 911 indicated the man broke his leg, and U.S.F.S. was unable to determine the exact

nature of his injuries. The man called 911 just after 10:30 a.m., and the U.S.F.S. was notified at about 10:45 a.m. Due to the man’s location, snow rangers, with assistance from the Harvard Cabin caretaker, were able to reach him at 11:15 a.m. The U.S.F.S. administered basic first aid at the scene at prepared him to be removed from the area. The man was taken off the trail in a sled on the back of a snow machine. The rescue crew returned to the Pinkham Notch visitors’ center at 1 p.m. N.H. Fish and Game stood by at the scene in case additional assistance was needed. The U.S.F.S. advised hikers and climbers to be cautious see HIKER page 11

DIXVILLE NOTCH – The Tillotson Corporation has reached an agreement to sell the Balsams Grand Resort, including approximately 7,700 acres of land, to the owner of the Wentworth By the Sea Hotel and Spa in Portsmouth. The directors of the Tillotson Corporation voted 5-1 to approve the sale to Ocean Properties LLC. Hotel and Resorts of Portsmouth. “Ocean Properties brings an impressive track record, with a portfolio of hotels, commitment to New Hampshire, and management team to the table. They have the same

passion for the Balsams that the Tillotsons had,” said Tom Deans of North Conway, managing trustee of the Neil Tillotson Trust. The lone vote against the sale was from Tillotson’s son, Rick Tillotson. Rick Tillotson favored the other finalist, a group of local investors that included Berlin City Dealership founder Dan Dagesse, Colebrook contractor Dan Hebert, and Balsams General Manager Jeff McIver. The sale includes all the Balsam assets including the ski area, two golf courses, and the 200-room hotel. Excluded were two parcels of land deemed to have potential for wind see BALSAMS page 10

City will apply for additional funding for NSP BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – The city will apply for $3.5 million to continue the work of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Housing Coordinator Andre Caron said Berlin was asked to compete for $4.5 million the N.H. Community Development Finance Authority has available for a second round of funding. The private-public partnership between the city and New England Family Housing is in the process of renovating 14 formerly foreclosed or abandoned buildings into energy efficient rental property. Some of the money has also been used to remove dilapidated structures in the targeted neighborhoods. Caron said $3.5 million would allow the partnership to do another 12 buildings. He said NHCDFA is pleased with what has done so far and while Nashua see FUNDING page 9

Rancher revealed as gangster

3DAYFORECAST

MARSING, Idaho (NY Times) — Enrico Ponzo was never a proper mobster, a “made man” in the vernacular of the underworld. He was a renegade, prosecutors say, part of a violent faction intent on ousting the bosses of the powerful Patriarca crime family in Boston in the early 1990s. When a wide-ranging indictment came down against him and 14 others in 1997, Mr. Ponzo was charged with crimes that included attempted murder and extortion. But he was also listed as the target of a contract killing planned by one of the other defendants. While most everyone else in the case went to prison, Mr. Ponzo was not arrested — he had been missing since 1994. Jeffrey John Shaw, known as Jay, was never a natural rancher. The accent from back East and his inexperience with cattle gave him away quickly as another newcomer reinventing himself in the West. But no one pried. After all, Mr. Shaw was quick to help move your furniture or fix your computer. He was trusted to manage the irrigation system people depended on for water, and he was responsible with the money they paid to do it. In time, as he began raising two children and 12 cows on his 12 acres, prosecutors say Jay earned a stature no mob boss could ever confer on Enrico. He became a remade man.

Qaddafi forces take back strategic town from rebels

Witnesses: Saudi police open fire at protest

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

RAS LANUF, Libya (NY Times) — Forces loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi retook this strategic refinery town after an assault by land, air and sea Thursday, opposition leaders and fighters said, an onslaught that sent scores of rebels fleeing along a coastal road and underlined a decisive

shift in momentum in an uprising that has shaken the Libyan leader’s four decades of rule. The fighting was a stark illustration of the asymmetry of the conflict, pitting protesters-turned-rebels against a military with far superior arms and organization and a willingness to prosecute a vicious

counterattack against its own people. Usually ebullient rebels acknowledged withdrawing Thursday, even as the fledgling opposition leadership in Benghazi scored diplomatic gains with France’s recognition of it as the legitimate government and American officials’ promises to intensify talks with its leaders.

Most public schools may miss targets, education secretary says (NY Times) — More than 80,000 of the nation’s 100,000 public schools could be labeled as failing under No Child Left Behind, the main federal law on public education, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan told Congress on Wednesday. Mr. Duncan said the estimate, based on an analysis of testing trends and the workings of the law’s pass-fail school rating system, was the latest evidence of the law’s shortcomings and the need to overhaul it. Even many of the nation’s best-run schools

are likely to fall short of the law’s rapidly rising standardized testing targets, Mr. Duncan said. “This law is fundamentally broken, and we need to fix it this year,” he told the House education committee. If Mr. Duncan’s estimates prove to be right when state exams are given this spring, they will represent an astonishing jump in the number of schools falling short of the law’s requirements.Eighty-two percent of schools could miss testing targets, Mr. Duncan said, compared with 37 percent last year.

BEIRUT (NY Times) — Saudi police opened fire at a protest march in a restive, oil-rich province of the kingdom on Thursday, wounding at least three, according to witnesses there. The crackdown came a day before a planned “day of rage” throughout the country that officials have said they will not tolerate. The clash with protesters in the heavily Shiite region underscored long-standing tensions in Saudi society: A sense among its Shiite minority that it is discriminated against by a government practicing a zealous form of Sunni orthodoxy. One resident in Qatif who watched the march, Abdulwahab al-Oraid, said he it was not clear why police opened fire at what appeared to be a peaceful demonstration that started with 100 people and later grew to about 300. “There is a fear of Friday’s protests,” Mr. Oraid said. “We think this is a message, ‘Don’t protest in any Shiite areas on Friday.’”

Climber injured in avalanche on Mount Washington Thursday BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

PINKHAM NOTCH — A man climbing a technical route on Mount Washington without a rope fell 1,300 feet when an avalanche flushed him out of the gully he was in Thursday. The 31-year-old New Hampshire man, whose name has not been released, was near the top of Pinnacle Gully, a moderate ice climb in Huntington Ravine, when the snowfield at the exit of the climb slid. He fell over the steep section of the climb to the snowfield below, which is steep enough that he continued falling. The man came to a rest at the base of the ravine having sustained serious injuries, the details of which were not released. No one else was around, but he was able to call 911 from his cell phone at 10:45 a.m. Two U.S. Forest Service snow rangers and the Harvard Mountaineering Club caretaker responded, while a third snow ranger coordinated the rescue from Pinkham Notch. “We were on scene by about 11:15,” U.S. Forest Service snow ranger Chris

Joosen said. The rescuers put the man into a litter, hooked it up to a snowmobile and drove him to Pinkham Notch. An ambulance waiting there took him to Memorial Hospital. The man was an experienced climber, Joosen said, and he was carrying appropriate equipment. “He’d climbed Pinnacle a number of times before,” he said. “Today’s forecast was for considerable danger,” Joosen said, referring to the five-scale rating system for avalanche danger. A rating of “considerable” means spontaneous avalanches are possible and human-triggered accidents are likely. There are signs that list the day’s danger level on the way into the ravine, Joosen said, which had the posted rating. “He had to go past that.” Joosen recommended anyone going into avalanche terrain read the avalanche bulletin, which is updated daily and posted both online at mountwashingtonavalanchecenter.org and at trailheads, as well at take classes to better prepare them to assess the danger for themselves.

AV Chamber dinner was a huge success To the editor: In a room filled to capacity on a snowy Friday night,Feb. 25, the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce held its annual dinner meeting at the Town & Country Motor Inn. On a night when the inclement weather could have caused many to stay home, 210 chamber members and business associates came out to witness and celebrate all that the new chamber has accomplished in the four years since inception! With the news of the sale of the mill, the pending activation of the federal prison and other proposed projects that will have a significant impact on our economy, the room was full of electricity and hope for what 2011 will bring! To say that this event was successful would be an understatement! This level of success would not be possible without the help of our generous sponsors, whose contributions assured an enjoyable evening by all who attended. Our sponsors include, AutoNorth Superstore, Androscoggin Valley Hospital, Brookfield Renewable Power, Caron Building Center, Cooper Cargill Chant, Couture Construction Corporation, H. E.

Guest Column

Corinne E. Cascadden Superintendent of Schools

Understanding Bullying Berlin Public School Staff has been actively working towards full compliance of the revised N.H. Pupil Safety and Violence Protection law, now known as the Bullying Law. The revisions to the NH Law passed for July 1, 2010 and required NH School Districts to revise local bullying policies by January 1, 2011. The new law includes specific time lines for notifying parents/guardians of any reported incidents, completing a comprehensive investigation process, results notification to parents/guardians and implementing a responsive action whether it is parent conferences, counseling, therapy, or corrective disciplinary action. The law is very clear in that, disciplinary results are protected by FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). In respect to student privacy, the school administrators can not disclose to parents, what actions were taken towards a student, in the event a bullying incident is founded. A recent article in the Washington Post cited ‘bullying and abuse at home by older siblings or parents as a primary cause of bullying behavior at school’. Dr. Malcolm Smith, UNH Cooperative Extension Service, points out national research by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and U.S. Health Resources Service Administration, that 1 in every 3 students is a victim of bullying. These numbers are cause for alarm. Berlin Schools have been proactive in policy development and implementation. All school employees and parents are required to be trained in the new law, school district policy and procedures. The teaching staff has been working with consultant Donna San Antonio from the Appalachian Teen Mt. Project, via grant funding, to be well versed in identifying bullying and to be proactive in prevention. We are also required to train all parents in the school community. “Understanding Bul-

lying” is the parent training being offered by UNH Cooperative Extension Service presenter Sue Buteau. Ms. Buteau has made presentations on March 2 at the Jr. High Auditorium, March 3 at BHS Library and is scheduled at Brown School on March 10 at 6:00 p.m. Parents frequently call school administrators, as they should, about school bullying incidents. Our efforts are to provide training and education to parents to change the culture of how people treat each other. Bullying is not a “School Problem”, it is a “Community Problem”. Our job, along with parents, is to teach children to be kind and respectful to each other in spite of disagreements. UNH Coop. Ext. Service has also developed a parent booklet called “Understanding Bullying” which provides a resource and a means for parents and children to identify a bully-safe plan. These booklets have been distributed at the parent forums and will also be sent home with students. Berlin High School students are being trained to be the presenter to their parents on April 6. We invite all parents and community members to a forum on Cyberbullying, presented by Investigator Jennifer Frank, Plymouth State University Police Dept., Wednesday, March 16, 6 p.m. Berlin Junior High auditorium. Investigator Frank will also provide student assemblies during the day for grades 6-12 on the Many Faces of Facebook and meet with administrators and school personnel. This program is a joint effort by the Berlin School District and the After-School Program to reach out to families. All schools will be distributing a booklet called “Net Cetera”, teaching your child internet safety, prior to the presentation on Cyberbullying. This publication has been made available by the Federal Trade Commission.

Growing relationships and knowledge between people and plants’ To the editor: Thank heaven, it’s March and it is time to wake our minds and bodies from our winter’s slumber and focus on what lies ahead. As the days get longer, my palms begin to itch for the grip of a sturdy garden shovel. I would like to think that I am not alone in my quest to smell fresh earthiness. The good thing is, as a gardener, I am in great company with the Coos County Botanical Garden Club. The CCBGC manages the public gardens in and around Berlin. It is a group of dedicated individuals who work closely with the city of Berlin, Northern Human Services at the Community Services Center and UNH Cooperative Extension Office to create a growing landscape that all can contribute to. The club’s officers are from all walks of life and welcome their community members to get out and get involved in Berlin’s visual landscape. The club’s officers are Will O’Brien, president, Jan Ely, vice-president, Ann Morton, public relations, Sharon, correspondence secretary, Angie Mooney, secretary, Brad Ray, treasurer, Joe Martenlli, hospitality, Elizabeth Ruediger, writer, and Noela Bartoli, club Llbrarian. It is a wonderful opportunity to

become a better informed gardener by connecting to area master gardeners and utilize the wealth of research materials available via the club’s gardening library and newly launched website (www.botanicalgarden191.weebly. com) which can field your gardening questions through its interactive blog. The CCBGC would also like to acknowledge its community partner, Tea Birds, for hosting the group’s meetings and the countless volunteers who devote their time and energy to the club’s efforts. The club’s calendar is jam packed with field trips to area gardens which not only include an exclusive peek into some of the loveliest gardens in the city and country, but also an opportunity to gather new ideas for your own backyard oasis. With the growing popularity of WREN’s Berlin Farmer’s Market, the CCBGC has collaborated with the market to host a flower and separate vegetable show. Contestants just need to pay a small entry fee at the show table to feature their homegrown prized possession. The club is also recruiting a small sub-committee to help manage a satellite gardens at the AMC’s Pinkham Notch. If you are see KNOWLEDGE page 5

'PAL" basketball tournament was a huge success To the editor: On February 26, the Annual Paul A. Lacroix “PAL” Basketball Tournament was held. Teams from Berlin, Bethlehem, Colebrook, Gorham, Jefferson, Littleton and Milan attended this event. There was plenty of action and excitement during the entire weekend. Congratulation to the Littleton girls’ and the Berlin boys’ teams who ended the weekend by raising the championship trophies. I would also like to thank our tournament sponsor REMAX with their donation of championship t-shirts. I want to thank everyone who attended this tournament as spectator sportsmanship was outstanding, which makes for a more enjoyable experience for all. I would also like to thank the following groups and/or people: Gorham Booster Club and their many volun-

teers, as this tournament would not be possible without you. Helping out all day keeping the scorer’s book was Jessica Stewart and to all the fantastic referees; Bill Goodrich, Don Hood, Ray Baillargeon, PJ Cyr, Denise Roy, Don Picard, Rhonda Holmes, Gary Roy, Don Hood and Pete Peare. This tournament is run with 100 percent volunteerism and with their support and effort we raised approximately $1,900 (through entrance fees, team registrations, concessions, 50/50, etc.). This money is split between the Recreation Department and the Booster Club and is used to improve facilities and programs without using taxpayer dollars. Jeffrey S. Stewart, Director Parks and Recreation Department Gorham

This is your chance to win a $100 savings bond To the editor: The American Legion Auxiliary, Unit #82 Gorham, NH, is looking for North Country School age children to submit a poem entitled “What a hero means to me” so as to be eligible to win a $100 savings bond. All poems will need to be age appropriate and grade appropriate. Our Children & Youth Chairperson Elaine Wood will be judging the entries. The length of the poem will be a minimum of 50 words for our younger students and a maximum of 150 words for the older students. The winner of the poem contest will need to read their poem at the unveiling of the “North Coun-

try Hero’s Tree” Saturday, April 2, at Sears in Gorham at 10 a.m. When submitting your poem please write your name, address and phone number on the back of the submission as well as your age and school you attend. All entries are to be mailed to Diane Bouthot, 2 Jimtown Rd. Gorham, NH, 03581 by March 20. This will give our Children and Youth Chairperson enough time to judge the entries. Thank you for your participation. Diane Bouthot American Legion Auxiliary National Security Chairperson Unit #82 Gorham

Great job Gorham voters, I commend you for courage To the editor: Taking back your community is something to be proud of. You talked, you stood and voted by secret ballot to reject a four-Year contract presented to you by a powerful teachers union. Quite frankly, SAD administrator Paul Bousquet seems to be in conflict with the town as his wife is a teacher in the Gorham school system. His actions reek of nepotism. In these times of great financial insecurity, job loss, high state and national taxes, the added burden of demanding unions is really more than the citizens of Gorham can bear. What really scares

me is, these people are in the classroom with the students. My question is; what are they thinking of? When the budget is cut, who will loose? The student of course. The me first, union philosophy takes precedent over any and everything a well rounded solid education stands for. Students should be proud of their parents. They stood for a true Democratic government, your future and the best they can give you. They might be able to save some money for your college education. Dawn Tupick A Gorham taxpayer

I agree, Mr. Bisson is right; teachers, city workers overpaid To the editor: I agree 100 percent with Michael Bisson’s letter/opinion and disagree with Renee Stewart’s. The teachers and most city workers are highly over-paid! When a person (s) chooses to be a teacher, they know that grading papers goes with the territory. As far a teacher’s conventions, the school is usually closed for that day or the teacher’s have a substitute. Renee you did not mention all the vacation time and weekend off teacher’s have off. KNOWLEDGE from page 4

Renee you gave a thumbs up to the teacher’s and other city workers. What about all the others out there who bust their backsides just to get by! My husband and I both work and barley make 25,000.00 a year. We have no health insurance or other benefits.

As an Berlin resident, taxpayer, educator and parent I cannot support further cuts to students To the editor: There is no question that times are tough. Jobs are few and far between and the cost of living is rising. When times are difficult and money is scarce the talk always turns to making the “tough decisions” at city hall. “Tough decisions” has become synonymous with budget cuts. I believe that we need to re-think this application of tough decisions when we are discussing educational funding for the children of our community. The adage “It takes a community to raise a child” has not become outdated or obsolete. As many of us can attest the job market is vicious and highly competitive. It is the responsibility of our community, the whole community, to provide our children, the future leaders of tomorrow, with the skills and tools necessary to be competitive in the job market when they leave our school system. Your community did it for you, and our kids should at least have that same opportunity. We must realize that our educational institutions are not preparing students for the jobs that exist now; they are preparing our students for the jobs that will exist and 5 to 10 years from now. In the ever-evolving field of technology, new jobs are created every day. We can no longer just concentrate on training our students for traditional careers. We must focus

on creating the best prepared, most adaptable and highly competitive students possible. This requires us to be supportive and make conscientious decisions for all our students from first grade until they graduate. We are only going to fool ourselves if we believe that obtaining a high school diploma with the minimum state requirements will get out students where they need to be. What once made a student competitive in college entrance applications and/or the workplace no longer provides the same benefit. We live in a competitive world that only becomes more competitive as times become difficult. The Berlin Public Schools have historically provided an unquestionable quality educational opportunity for our students. With proper ambition, Berlin students have had no educational limitations and have been accepted into the best colleges and universities. However, with the current staff reductions and potential staff reductions in the future our students are at a competitive disadvantage. Unlike the game of golf, there is no “handicap” scoring system for college entrance qualifications and exams (SAT). Students are not granted acceptance or awarded scholarships based on their potential. Results based in college preparatory course scores and college entrance test scores are necessary. It

would be great if the admissions faculty at Dartmouth or UNH looked at a Berlin Student’s application and was able to give him a 10 point “handicap” because he was from Berlin. After all it isn’t the student’s fault that the courses he/she needed to compete with other school districts were no longer offered … As we stand today we have high school students unable to take college preparatory electives such as a fourth year of a foreign language that will make them less competitive in college entrance applications and our global economy. If further budget constraints are applied at the high school, college bound students may be unable to take college preparatory electives such as Chemistry, Physics and others. Without completing these classes at the high school level, students will not only be at a competitive disadvantage for college acceptance but may not be able to enroll in corresponding college level courses due to course prerequisites requiring them to take expensive non-credit courses to make up deficiencies in their high school education. This will cost our students both money and time extending the time it takes to reach a college degree. Budget deficiencies over the last school year accounted for the loss of one third of the core teachers (Science, English, Math and Social Studies) at

Berlin Junior High School. This major staff loss left two options for accommodating the virtually unchanged number of students. One options would have been to increase class size to 30 or more students, which really don’t fit physically into the rooms with chairs and desks, or the chosen alternative of re-engineered the school day in a fashion so all students have access to the required content classes now being taught by four less teachers. Unavoidably, each student now travels through eight shortened periods limiting the amount of course time in core instructional area in order to avoid severely overcrowded classrooms. Either option would have left our students with far less contact time with their teachers. Is it fair to leave these students in a position to struggle to catch up? Will the teachers at BHS have to lower their expectations when our current junior high students arrive? Either way, these students are already being negatively impacted by the current educational cuts in place. I whole heartedly understand that our public schools require a large portion of our city budget. When we need to save dollars it is perfectly logical to try and trim from the areas of largest expense. However, I also understand basic math and percentages. As it has see CUTS page 7

CUTS from page 6

been recently mentioned by Berlin School Board member, we need to evaluate the percentage of our city’s budget that has been distributed to the schools in both years past and today. If the public school’s portion of the city budget remained a fixed percentage, the dollar figure would rise and fall with the city’s revenue. As this school board member pointed out the percentage of the city budget that has been allocated to the public schools has dwindles in recent years. This decrease in percent allocation to the schools inarguably indicates that the money that was historically earmarked for education is being removed or redirected from the school’s “piece of the pie” and being utilized elsewhere. I am certain that if we looked at the percentage of other comparable communities’ budgets spent on education, our city would be among the lowest. Current budget shortcomings are not trimming excess “fat” but are truly carving away the “meat” of the Berlin Educational System. As a Berlin born and Berlin educated resident, taxpayer, educator and parent I cannot support fur-

ther cuts to the students of Berlin. By not providing all students of the City of Berlin with every benefit necessary to best prepare them for the competitive worlds of college and careers we are committing a grievous disservice to our children. Are we really willing to sell our children’s competitive potential just to save a few bucks on our tax bill? Is our children’s potential really ours to sell anyway? In these tough times our children need every competitive advantage available to succeed. Holding city taxes steady for many years may have been a noble pursuit for a while, but there comes a time when noble turns to fool-hardy and the consequences demand action as they become detrimental to the one group of citizens that cannot vote. Our children’s future success is directly linked to their ability to compete against there generational piers in future educational settings and the workplace. I think it is time to make the right “Tough Decision” and support our students by providing the education every Berlin child deserves. Jamie Welch Berlin

Welding students take top slots at competition, move on to states BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN— After five Berlin High School students took the top spots in an invitation welding competition, three of them will move on to the statewide competition at the end of the month. During an invitation welding competition at the Seacaost School of Technology, teacher Dennis Carrier said students Tom Rozek, Shawn Bunnell, Brice Corrigan, Caleb Flint and John Secinore took the top five slots in the competition, and three will move onto the statewide Skills USA competition. “They made me very proud by finishing one through five,” said Carrier. There were 22 students participating in the event, said Carrier. He added it is often challenging because the students are working in a different shop and on different machines than they are accustomed to. Now, Carrier said Rozek, Bunnell and Corrigan will represent B.H.S. at the statewide competition. He added they finished in the top three spots during the invitational event. The March statewide competition is put on by Skills USA, said Roland Pinette, director of B.H.S.’s Career and Technical Education program. He added that it’s a national organization focused on welding education.

Performance at the invitation competition wasn’t the only factor on who was selected to the statewide event, said Pinette. He added that Carrier has a number of in-house events as well. “I think we’ll do well in the championship rounds,” said Carrier. He added he hopes one of the students has a chance to go to the nationals, in Kansas City. “I have high hopes,” said Carrier. Historically, Pinette said Berlin’s students have fared well in the state Skills USA competition and gone on to the national competition. “It’s possible one of these guys is going to nationals,” said Pinette. All of the five students are serious about welding, said Pinette, and they work very hard at it. Though Carrier deserves some credit for the success of his welding students, said Pinette. “He has high expectations of them to work at their highest levels,” said Pinette. These welding competitions are designed to help motivate the students to do better work, said Pinette. He added it makes the program about more than just passing grades and getting certified. “It’s about performing at the top level,” said Pinette.

and Manchester are also bidding for the $4.5 million, he is comfortable that Berlin will get some additional funding. “We feel we will get something,” he said. Caron noted the program took on the city’s toughest neighborhoods and said he believes the work has made a difference. Mayor Paul Grenier said psychologically the renovation work has made a big difference, especially on the lower East Side. He said NHCDFA has been impressed with the job the partnership has done. Caron said the program has taken a hands-on Yankee approach and is getting a lot of work done with the money available. Everything is done by competitive bid and New England Family Housing did bulk purchases of supplies. The council held a first reading of a resolution authorizing the city to apply for the additional funds. It was tabled for a public hearing and passage on March 21. In other business: * The council approved WREN’s request to close Mechanic Street on Thursday nights from June 23 through Sept. 15 for the Local Works Berlin Farmers Outdoor Marketplace. Councilor Tom McCue said he was very pleased with the turn out for the farmers market last year and is excited to see it will operate again on Thursday nights this summer. In a letter to the council, WREN Coordinator Laura Jamison said the market brought in $84,000 for local vendors. * Held a first reading of a resolution authorizing the school district to apply for a $250,000 grant for engineering services to convert

the heating system at Berlin High School to biomass. The application is to the USDA Forest Service 2011 Woody Biomass Utilization Grant Program. The resolution will be up for passage on March 21. * The council traffic safety committee recommends a ‘no parking’ sign be placed at 124 Wight Street, just north of Gosselin’s Hot Tubs. Two-way traffic on Jericho Road is hampered when a vehicle is parked there. The committee is also recommended 15 mph school zone signs be placed on Sullivan Street between Grafton and Coos Streets and on Grafton Street between Rockingham and Cheshire Streets for the Community Bible Academy and Head Start Program locations. The resolution will be up for passage on March 21. * City Manager Patrick MacQueen reported that the property at 241High Street, next to the Berlin Junior High School, was demolished during school vacation week. The city acquired the property through tax deed and plans to use it as parking for the school. MacQueen said Fortier Associates, the firm doing the work, still has to back-fill and clean up the site. April 30 is the deadline for completion. * A Christian-sponsored work camp is coming to Berlin this summer to volunteer on housing maintenance and improvement projects for residents throughout the city unable to do them on their own. The senior high students will ‘camp out’ at the high school from July 24 -30. * The city has selected Goulet Communications of Stark to replace the phone system at the library and police station. The firm was one of five that submitted bids. The cost for the new systems including installation is $7,789.

Police officer educates about cyber bullying and online predators BERLIN - All of you have heard of Facebook and know it’s used by millions of young people nationwide. What you don’t hear about, is cyber bullying and online predators who are stalking young people online. Plymouth State University police officer Jennifer Frank has been providing presentations around New Hampshire about the dangers youth face when using the most popular social networking web sites like Facebook and Myspace. The Berlin SAU and The Family Resource Center’s Project Youth Afterschool Programs are co-sponsoring the presentation Officer Frank has prepared. The presentation will be held on March 16, at the Berlin Junior High Auditorium at 6 p.m. Students will participate in an assembly program that

educates about cyber bullying earlier that same day. The presentation is open to parents and community members. Retired Family Court Judge, James Michalik, the Family Resource Center’s Executive Director strongly urged parents to attend, “From my experience, all parents will benefit from learning to defend their children from on line risks.” Officer Frank agreed stating “In an ever changing technological world, it is incumbent upon parents to stay abreast of new technology and the many Web sites their children visit and post to daily. Parents should visit their children’s sites and encourage them to remove identifying photos and information. Facebook is a great tool when use properly, but with every great tool comes the danger of abuse.”

energy development. Dean said the parties hope to close on the purchase and sale within a month. The N.H. Attorney-General’s Charitable Trust Division must approve the transaction. Ocean Properties Senior Vice President Tom Varley said his company plans to open the hotel for the summer season and will spend the first year reviewing the property and deciding how to best make improvements. Over several years, Ocean Properties would then look to renovate the resort. Topping the list are energy improvements, upgrading the heating system and adding air-conditioning. Varley said there are no plans to close the hotel to do renovations. Dean said the parties do not have a final purchase price for the resort. He said a number of factors that will determine that figure that have yet to be decided. For instance, he said a conservation easement will be placed on about half the land, restricting future development and ensuring the land remains open for recreational uses and timber production. That easement will effect the final price. Dean said the agreement to sell the historic property to Ocean Properties came after an exhaustive search for a new buyer. In selecting a buyer, Dean said three criteria were set by the directors: 1) ensure the Balsams remains an economic engine for the North Country and employs residents of the region to the extent possible; 2) find a buyer with the money and managerial skills to maintain and grow the Balsam’s reputation; 3) make certain the buyer maintains the Tillotsons’ commitment to the environment of the North Country. More than 90 potential bidders looked at the opportunity to purchase the Balsams and Dean said many submitted bids. In the end, the directors were most impressed with Ocean Properties, which has a track record of purchas-

ing and renovating historic hotels. The firm purchased Wentworth By the Sea Hotel in 1997 after the hotel had been placed on the National Trust list of “Most Endangered Sites.” After a $30 million restoration, Wentworth received the Trust’s Preservation Success Story and President’s Award. Varley revealed his firm has long had an interest in the Balsams. “We’ve had our eye on the Balsams for many years,” he said. Varley said Ocean Properties hopes to improve occupancy at the Balsams and that should add to the number of jobs and help tourism efforts. The hotel currently employs about 300 full and part time people. Varley also promised his firm would be protective of the hotel’s first-in-the nation voting tradition. “That’s a great tradition at that property,” he said. In addition to Wentworth By the Sea, Ocean Properties purchased The Sagamore Resort on Lake George NY in September 2008, investing in room upgrades, amenities improvements and operating efficiencies to return that resort to optimal performance. The company also restored the historic Bar Harbor Club and significantly upgraded the adjacent Harborside Hotel & Marina in Bar Harbor, Maine. Ocean Properties also owns and operates Sunset Key Resort in Key West FL and The Latham Hotel, a historic downtown property in Philadelphia, which is now undergoing renovation.In all, Ocean Properties owns more than 100 hotels in North America. Neil Tillotson¹s estate plan established a Trust giving most of his personal assets, including the stock of Tillotson Corporation, to charity. The Trustees of his Trust were given the authority to decide how best to turn Mr. Tillotson¹s generosity and legacy into philanthropic action. So far, over $100 million has been given to charity.

Papers, LLC, will move forward by completing the sale of the mill and then resuming operations. “I can’t wait to start the mill back up,” said Lozier. He added he’s looking forward to seeing the mill employees head back to work. Everything that’s happened with the mill in the past few months, and John Halle, of Cate Street Capital, investing in the facility has been a blessing for the area, said Lozier. Gorham Papers, LLC, a new company formed by private investors from Cate Street Capital, announced in late February that it plans to buy and operate the mill. The company said it hopes to complete the closing in early April and immediately begin rehiring the displaced workers. Gorham Paper’s press release, issued in February, states the company has identified and structured a plan to not only start the mill back up but also ensure long-term success and future growth. Gorham Papers, LLC, will purchase the mill from Counsel R.B. Capital, the company that bought the mill from Fraser Papers late last year. Counsel R.B. Capital purchased the mill for $2.7 million in December. HIKER from page one

By Holiday Mathis really get it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It will seem to those around you that you are getting all of the good luck. And though they won’t exactly point at you like surly kindergarteners declaring “no fair!” they’ll do the grownup equivalent. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will be drawn in by complicated people. There’s a spark of excitement and creativity there that holds your interest. Complicated isn’t negative, but it will be tricky to navigate this relationship without too much stress. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll get the feeling that someone is watching over you and protecting you. Indeed, you can go about your business in a relatively fearless fashion because someone does have your back. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you’re late, you’ll cause another person to be late, as well, and that will affect yet another and another. Be on time, and you’ll contribute to the peace and order of the universe. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Listen up for negativity so that you can avoid getting dragged into situations that are clearly bad news. Stick to those who praise what is good and seek out what is beautiful. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 11). You will know that you are loved. Your year is made joyful through simple pleasures and heart-warming gestures. You’ll reconnect with old friends and make new ones this season. After May, you’ll better your fortunes by connecting with colleagues after work hours and also at conferences and conventions. Libra and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 32, 22, 17 and 49.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You need a viable strategy for turning your idea into an event on everyone’s calendar. You would be wise to spend at least two hours planning. If the planning takes more time than the actual work, it’s a great plan! TAURUS (April 20-May 20). All predictions, even the ones made by the most seasoned authorities, are merely opinions. You’ll take the reins and lead the action in spite of, or perhaps because of, what the “experts” say. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It will be challenging to slip into work mode. If only you could send an avatar to do your job for you. Alas, there are certain things that require your human touch, which is unlike any other. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will teach someone what it means to be responsible. This you’ll mostly do through example, though it would also help to give clear instructions about what the other person needs to do in order to fulfill his duty. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll get the first small sign that magic is on the horizon. A love grows inside you and will blossom into a great affection. When you put your feelings into action, something wonderful is set in motion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It may feel as though you are in the wrong lane fighting the oncoming traffic. Remove yourself from the road and assess the situation. It only makes sense to travel with those who are headed in the same direction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll get news that affects you so directly, it’s almost as though it has been catered especially for you. It won’t be enough to hear things once.

ATTENTION PAID TO DYING BOY EMBITTERS HIS JEALOUS AUNT

DEAR ABBY: My 3-year-old son is terminally ill. My sister-in-law, “Anita,” has a son who is a year old. Anita always wants to compete for attention between the two boys. She makes nasty comments to family members, suggesting that her son is ignored while mine gets all the attention. No one says anything to her because they’re afraid of her “blowups.” I don’t know how much longer I can live with this. It is hard enough watching my son slip away a little more each day, but having to deal with this has pushed me over the edge. How can I handle a crazy in-law in this situation? -FALLING APART IN ILLINOIS DEAR FALLING APART: Please accept my sympathy for the heartache you are experiencing. It’s a shame that no one in the family is willing to point out to your volatile sister-inlaw that the “annoyance” she’s feeling is selfish and insensitive. However, because no one is, it might be better that Anita be excluded from family gatherings in which she might feel her son is getting short shrift. And you should ask the person who is repeating her complaints to you to please stop sharing them. That should solve your problem. DEAR ABBY: I am a married man, but not happily. I have been taking the kids on play dates with a neighbor woman who has been kind enough to meet with the children and doesn’t seem to care too much that I’m a guy. As you can imagine, most women will not bother to befriend a man they know is married. She has two kids who are close in age to mine. She is 19 years younger than I am and lives with her boyfriend. I have fallen in love with her. I know I can’t tell her, and

I doubt she feels the same toward me. When we part, we do hug each other. It makes me feel fantastic, something I haven’t experienced for a long time. Should I continue getting together with her or should I avoid her? I feel both happy and sad when I see her because I realize she is basically out of reach. -- PERPLEXED IN WISCONSIN DEAR PERPLEXED: You feel lonely and isolated. It is understandable that you would be drawn to whatever warmth you can get, but this young woman is not the answer to your problem. Call a halt to this relationship so that you can work on your real problem -- which is your unhappy marriage. Once you sort that out, everything else will fall into place. But continuing to see this woman as things are will only perpetuate your pain. DEAR ABBY: A few months ago I ran into an old friend at the spa. She told me to call her and plan to get together with her. I have called her, but she never seems receptive to actually getting together. She called me once and invited me over to sit by the pool, but that’s been the extent of it. We’re both married with children and work part time. I feel as though I’m bothering her when I call since she never makes an effort to return my calls or accept my invitations. However, when we run into each other at events or the spa, she’s chatty and friendly. Should I stop putting out the effort? -- CAN’T FIGURE IT OUT DEAR CAN’T: Yes. You’ve taken the first step, and the second. The ball is now in her court. Stop calling and let her make the next move. If she doesn’t, she was probably making polite conversation when she suggested you get together.

Line Host’s artwork featured in AVH Rotating Art Program BERLIN -- The Androscoggin Valley Hospital Auxiliary will feature an exhibit of paintings by local resident and AVH employee Line Host. Host is the surgical services coordinator at AVH. Few of the staff were aware of her other talents, one of which is a skilled artist. Art has always been a big part of her life. Love for the arts began at an early age. Her favorite subject, in elementary school, was art. Unfortunately, she was unable to continue her art instruction in high school as she was not able to fit the course in her schedule. She was in her early 20s when she would return to the work that she loved as a child. She began to take ceramic classes and continue with her studies for several years. Line found that creating facial features was a challenge, but she was able to eventually master that skill. At this same time, Line’s sister, Joane, was taking art lessons from Leo Aubin. Joane talked Line into going to a class where Line would expand her talents. Aubin asked her if she knew how to draw. He provided her with the necessary materials and she began on a new adventure. Her first drawings were well done and had a realistic feel to them. Aubin encouraged her to continue drawing and during the third week, said, “I know you can draw. Now, let’s see if you can paint.” Her first painting was of a rose. “That’s when I got hooked,” said Line. She enjoys painting winter scenes and scenes of the ocean. “I love to

paint flowers,” she said. Host feels she owes a lot gratitude to Aubin. She also feels that she stills has a lot more to learn. Her future goals are to attempt working with water colors and create more works involving people and animals as subjects. Line is not the only family member that is interested in art. Emily, her daughter, has also acquired a taste for art and has been entering and winning many contests. Now, in college, Emily is majoring in Graphic Arts. Line feels that “Art can at times be very challenging, but also very relaxing.” “You lose yourself in your work and, once the piece is finished,” she said, “it is very rewarding.” Outstanding paintings were on display during the month of February . Each month, the AVH Auxiliary Rotating Art Program features an artist and his/her respective works for public viewing inside AVH. The display is located in the cafeteria, giving guests an opportunity to enjoy a meal while admiring the artwork. If you are scheduled to have an art exhibit at AVH during the year 2012, you are asked to call Edwin Keene at 326-5676 to confirm. Any artist of photography or original painting, who wishes to have his/her work on display for a period of time in the AVH Auxiliary Art Gallery is welcome to call Edwina Keene, AVH volunteer coordinator, at 326-5676. Currently, the hospital is accepting bookings for the 2012 year as the months for 2011 have already been filled.
