Injunction sought to block vote Senator Ayotte visits Berlin on proposed teachers’ contract BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LANCASTER— A petition filed Monday in Superior Court is seeking an injunction to prevent the proposed teachers’ contract from being voted on at the annual Gorham Randolph Shelburne Cooperative School District meeting. Judge Timothy Vaughan agreed to hear the case in Grafton County Superior Court on Thursday after the petition was filed Monday. The petition, filed by Gorham resident Robert Balon, cites several perceived issues leading up to the proposed contract being included on the warrant for the

annual school meeting that justify a court ruling to prevent a vote from taking place. The court filing was accompanied with a petition signed by 30 people supporting the injunction. The main basis of the petition charges that Superintendent Paul Bouquet should have removed himself from doing any type of negotiation with the teachers’ union since his wife is a teacher in the Gorham Randolph Shelburne Cooperative School District. Balon writes in the petition that Bousquet should have recused himsee INJUNCTION page 6

BERLIN –Kelly Ayotte is just shy of two months in her new position as U.S. Senator. She still does not have a permanent office assignment in Washington. But with Congress on recess, Ayotte was in Berlin Friday, meeting with constituents, sitting for interviews with the press, and touring a number of local businesses. Ayotte said she is pleased with her committee assignments; Armed Services, Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and the Special Committee on Aging. She said they cover issues that are important to New Hampshire. As part of a group of U.S. Senators, Ayotte traveled in January to Afghanistan, first landing in Kuwait where she got to spend time with the N.H. National Guard 19th Fires Brigade, which she reported, is doing well. The group received a briefing from Gen. David Petraeus and met with Pakistan Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir and Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Ayotte said she believes the United States now has the right strategy in place in Afghanistan and has made significant progress over the past

nine months in pushing out the Taliban and dismantling elements of AlQueda. She said the biggest challenge remaining is routing out the corruption within the Karzai government. While she continues to be optimistic about overall success in Afghanistan, she said she believes President Obama’s plan to begin withdrawing troops in July is “not realistic”. Ayotte said she thinks the NATO timetable of a full transfer of security to the Afghanistan government in 2014 is more realistic. In Iraq, Ayotte is cautious about the scheduled withdrawal of U.S. forces by this December. She said there are still issues that need to be resolved. She said tremendous progress has been made in Iraq – the violence has been reduced and security improved – and said it is important not to lose the gains made at the expense of lives and money. As the withdraw date approaches, Ayotte predicted the level of violence will increase in Iraq. Ayotte sees both a positive side and concern in the uprisings against oppressive regimes in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. People, she said, are standing up for freedom and opportunity. She is hopeful the governments that emerge are ones that serve the people. see AYOTTE page 6

BERLIN— The Berlin City Council Monday night voted to fill the Ward IV vacancy with someone who formerly served on the body. The council appointed Diana Nelson, who previously served for four years, to fill the vacancy left after Timothy Cayer resigned as the representative from Ward IV. Nelson was one of the three prospective councilors interviewed during Monday night’s work session. Nelson will serve as the Ward IV councilor through the November election. She said that she intends to run for the seat this fall. Mayor Paul Grenier said he served with Nelson during her previous stint on the council and she did a very good job. Councilor Robert Danderson said because of her job at N.H. Employ-

ment Security, Nelson would bring a vast knowledge of the area’s workforce and employment-related issues to the council. During her interview, Nelson said that bringing in new jobs and retaining existing ones is a major priority. She added that every day she interacts with the unemployed population and understands the plight facing many people in Berlin. Another issue Nelson touched upon during the interview is the city’s tax rate. She said it’s important the city try to control the tax rate but still maintain the services it provides to Berlin’s residents. “We need to find a way to balance that,” said Nelson. Nelson said she’s served on the board for the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Androsee NELSON page 7

Famous, with foot in mouth

Charlie Sheen has an addiction. Mr. Sheen took a drug test on Saturday and allowed the results — negative — to be revealed on Monday on “Good Morning America” on ABC. He also assured the “Today” show on NBC that he had cured himself of substance abuse. “I closed my eyes and made it so with the power of my mind,” is how he put it. But a urine sample and a blood test can’t trace what troubles Mr. Sheen at the moment: he is addicted to explaining himself on the air. His dependence is not unique. Troubled politicians and celebrities often turn to television and radio to retune their images radically — it’s a One Step program to persuade themselves of their own powers of persuasion. And self-delusion has no borders. Mr. Sheen’s grandiose rants on the nation’s two leading morning talk shows — and via live stream on the gossip Web site TMZ — were more unmoored than most, but he showed all the usual symptoms of an insulated star with an unreasoned belief in his own invulnerability. Asked if he was bipolar, Mr. Sheen said he was “bi-winning.” Like a lot of bad habits, Mr. Sheen’s addiction started out small, with a few rambling calls to radio shows, then escalated into full-blown interviews on network television and TMZ.

Ohio set to vote on union rights

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

COLUMBUS, Ohio (NY Times) — Republican State Senators on Tuesday unveiled a new version of a bill governing public employee unions, saying the legislation would preserve the right of workers to bargain collectively, but Democratic lawmakers said it did not appear to include enough modifications to win their support. One proposal that Republicans appear

to have left in the legislation, and which is hotly contested by Democrats and union members, would bar public unions from striking. “If you take away the right to strike, you are taking the biggest bargaining chip off the table,” said Senator Joe Schiavoni, a Democrat. Shortly after the bill was introduced

Tuesday afternoon, Democratic lawyers and lawmakers began poring over its contents. The legislation could come to a vote in the State Senate as early as Wednesday. While the restoration of bargaining rights in the 99-page bill represented a concession by Republicans, it was not immediately clear to what extent unions would be able to exercise those rights.

Muammar el-Qaddafi, has been badly undermined, but he retains enough support among critical tribes and institutions, including parts of the army and the air force, that he might be able to retain power in the capital, Tripoli, for some time to come, say experts on Libya and its military. They caution that the situation on the ground is both fluid and confusing. But they emphasize that tribal loyalties remain an important indicator, and that there is

no clear geographical dividing line between the opponents to Colonel Qaddafi and his supporters. They suggest that eastern Libya, which was first to fall to the opposition, was always considered the most rebellious part of the country and had been starved of funds and equipment by Colonel Qaddafi. The region, known as Cyrenaica, was an Italian colony and the heartland of the Senussi tribe that produced the monarch, King Idris I, who was overthrown by Colonel Qaddafi and his army colleagues in 1969.

HOUSTON (NY Times) — Just when oil markets appeared to be calming, crude prices surged again on Tuesday as the potential for more oil shipment disruptions spread across the Middle East and North Africa. With Libya’s oil exports almost entirely halted for the last several days, renewed unrest in Oman, Iran and Iraq rattled oil traders. An interruption of shipments from any of those countries would further tighten oil supplies, even as Saudi Arabia has rushed to fill the vacuum of Libyan supplies by pumping more oil from its fields. Gold prices also surged on the latest reports, and indexes on Wall Street declined sharply, with the Dow Jones industrial average down more than 1.1 percent. In the latest sign that the political contagion was spreading, demonstrators in Oman on Tuesday tried to block a major road leading to the industrial port town of Sohar.

NORTH STRATFORD - The Cinderella Project of New Hampshire, a non-profit organization that gives free formal gowns and accessories to young women facing financial hardship, is bringing its fairy godmothers and a coach full of dresses to the North Country.

Students from schools throughout New Hampshire’s North Country and over the border in Vermont are invited to browse racks of gowns and shoes and try them on before deciding on a free formal outfit to take home for their special event. The selection includes never-worn and gentlyworn items donated by bridal shops and others throughout New England and across the country.

Clip those lables for Brown School To the editor: We are all worried about the economy and the impact that it has on our schools. What can you do? Lots, for starters March 14, there will be a city council meeting with the schools budget on the agenda. Come show your support. Also, when there is a fundraiser, support it, every little bit helps. This leads me to labels. Yes labels. Box tops for education as well as Labels for Education (Campbells) are on so many different products now. Don’t have a child in school? Now you can clip them and bring them to IGA, White Mountains Commu-

nity College, and the Souper Sub Plaza. For your convenience Brown School Elementary has brought a red drop off box to each of these locations. These labels give us money as well as products for our students with as much effort as it takes to snip paper. Thank you in advance to all of you who contribute to the success of these programs. You can find a complete list of products these labels are on at www.labelsforeducaton.com and www. boxtopsforeducation.com. Thank you clip away. Renee L. Stewart Berlin

Having A Six Month Check-up I’ve just come from my doctor’s office after having my six month checkup and things are OK. My doctor is Dr. Kenneth Lang of Coos Family Health in Gorham. He graduated from Ohio State University in 1970 and has practiced in family health since then. He is slow and thorough. I like him. I’m a diabetic and my hemoglobin test, which measures blood sugar levels over a three month period, has risen since I last saw Dr. Lang six months ago I explained that I had stopped taking the diabetic drug, Avandia, since the Food and Drug Administration had advised that it could induce a heart attack. Since I had a heart bypass in 1997, I decided continuing on Avandia was a risk I could do without. After I stopped tasking it I tried to control my blood sugar through diet and by taking the other two drugs I had been on. I did alright for awhile, but then my test each morning began to show a clear increase in blood sugar I got a prescription for another drug, Actos, and have been able to bring my morning blood test results down to a more acceptable level. Dr Lang said that explained the increase in my hemoglobin test but scheduled me for another fasting lab test and workup in three months to double check on my result with the Actos. I am happy to do that given the scare I had when my test scores really began to elevate. With the situation over the new medication taken care of, at least for now, Dr. Lang went on to other things. He pricked each of

my feet with a needle several times. When there was little response, he advised me to be extremely careful not to induce a cut as it would not heal. I recalled the problem I had three years ago when a small cut on my right foot did not heel and I had to undergo 4 operations before the blood supply was restored enough to heal that wound, end the nerve pain and restore some level of function to the foot. I do not wish to go through that procedure again if I can possibly avoid it. Dr. Lang noted how dry my lower legs and feet were and suggested regular application of moisturizer to restore the area. He said he’d advise me not to use soap in the area by rely upon washing with water and applying moisturizer only. I’m willing to try it but it will take some concentration. I do know that using moisturizer has helped restore the skin in other parts of this aging body of mine. Dr Lang also advised me to double the amount of calcium I’m taking, from 600 mgs to 1200 mgs daily, and to add 400 units of Vitamin D. I’ve started the increase in calcium, and will increase the vitamin D after I get some in the next day or so. All in all, Dr Lang’s advice is aimed at elderly folks like me, and I’m up for following his suggestions. It’s not so much that living longer is a big issue. But living well and comfortably is. That’s my goal now and I’m sticking with it.

Attention NH business owners and sportsmen, rule is bad To the editor: I am writing to inform you of an initiative of the New Hampshire Fish & Game Commission of concern to the interests of all citizens of the Great North Woods of New Hampshire. This rule change will have a negative effect on an already shaky economy. The N.H.F. & G Commission is proposing to institute a 3 point antler restriction specific to Wildlife Management Unit A (WMU-A - Rte 26 north to the Canadian border). On the face of it, this may not seem to be a significant issue if you are not a hunter. However, I encourage you to take a closer look at the issue. This past fall many hunters received a survey in the mail concerning their experiences and thoughts on Whitetail Deer hunting. Question 6 asked how many hunters would hold out for a large antlered buck and shoot nothing else. Only 14.6 percent of those who responded said they were willing to do so. That means that 85.4 percent of those who responded either said they would shoot any antlered buck or any legal deer, if given the opportunity. Most of the multiple-choice questions allowed only one answer be picked from four or more offered. This limited the possible responses and skewed the results. The answers from this survey are being used to support rule changes that would effect the entire Zone A and make it buck only and require any deer to have at least three (3) points on one side, in spite of the fact that over 85 percent of the respond-

ers said they would harvest smaller bucks and does if given the chance. The impact of such a ruling will be felt immediately, not only by the sportsmen who hunt in W.M.U.-A, but by all the citizens and businesses within this region. The NH Fish and Game Dept. and the N.H.F. & G. Commission came into existence with a specific intent that clearly limits their role to that of solely managing to sustain healthy wildlife populations and to have a viable habitat management program. Trophy deer management, in the form of a three point antler restriction, has nothing to do with population or habitat management. This management plan attempts to alter the age ratios, but has zero effect on the health or overall population. It is outside of the powers the N.H.F. & G. Department and Commission was granted. If it could be proven that this rule change would improve our deer herd and increase the size and health of our deer I guess it would be worth trying state-wide. One issue that should be considered is that the first deer to succumb to winter kills in years when the snow is deep and the temperatures are low are the yearling fawns, but the next most vulnerable group of deer are the large bucks that lose most of their body mass during the rut and enter into the winter depleted and weak. The effects of weather and the natural elements ultimately dictate the ratio of mature bucks. Preserving the herd for trophy bucks could actually make see ATTENTION page 5

CHAMBER from page one

Belanger read out a long list of organizations and community efforts the family has been involved with over the years including the chamber, Androscoggin Valley Hospital, Northern Forest Heritage Park, St. Kieran Center for the Arts, Androscoggin Valley Country Club, Notre Dame Arena, and the Salvation Army. Family members have also served on the Rotary Club, Kiwanis, VFW, Elks, American Legion, and the Berlin’s Professional Women’s Club. In addition, the motor inn has hosted many fund-raising events including the chamber’s annual meeting. The Town and Country Motor Inn dates back more than 50 years and Belanger noted during that time they have survived many economic cycles including the current recession. He said during the current recession, the Labnons have made it a priority to retain their loyal employees. Belanger also pointed out the Labnons rebuilt the motor inn after a devastating fire in 1973. In 1977 and in 1979, they expanded the facility. The Town and Country Motor Inn now has 160 guest rooms, a dining room that seats 180, four banquet rooms that can accommodate over 500, and a lounge with regular live entertainment. “They have become a cornerstone of hospitality that has driven economic activity into the surrounding community by virtue of the guests that they have hosted,” said Belanger. U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen presented the award to Randy Labnon, Scott Labnon, Bob Labnon, and Lori Labnon Morin. Not present was Lucille ‘Lupe’ Labnon who currently is in Florida. The annual meeting and dinner attracted a large turnout and the mood in the dining room was upbeat. Earlier in the day new owners had been announced for the Cascade mill ATTENTION from page 4

the herd more vulnerable to winter mortality in a harsh winter. When you look at this closely, this is a classic example of unnecessary government intrusion in our lives. A minority group, unable to gets its way via popular support, is usurping the intent of the people, by manipulating the system and instituting unpopular dictates, in the form of administrative rules. Although their agenda is narrow, the unintended consequences to the entire North Country region are serious and negative. If this proposal passes, hunters will abandon the North Country and move to less regulated areas. Local residents, suffering from staggering unemployment, will not be able to put up meat for the winter. Businesses, who rely on hunter tourism to fill the five weeks each fall between foliage and snowmobile season, will suffer as a direct consequence of this proposal. The economy in the area is the worst in the state. In the face of crisis, how can a government agency be so callous to

and they were in attendance. The keynote speaker was the new warden for the federal prison who assured the crowd the prison will open. With two key economic development successes for the region coming together, there was a celebratory mood to the gathering. Robbie Munce noted that four years ago the chamber was in trouble. Membership was low and it was running in the red. A new board was put together and some changes were made. One change was the name. The new board decided to discard the name Northern White Mountains chamber and become the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce. The office was moved to the Northern Forest Heritage Park. Munce admitted there were some low points during the four years but the chamber has since hit its stride. He said it has paid down all the debt incurred by the old chamber and now has a full-time staff person. He said membership is up and so is morale. “Our chamber is moving forward,” he said. Chamber members got a look at the chamber’s new website, developed as part of the Northern N.H. Marketing Project. Project Manager Samantha Kenney Maltais explained the concept behind Grand Adventures Grand Hotels marketing effort and showed some examples of its work. The four chambers in Coos County are working with the project and each received its own website, linked off the main website. Members also approved a slate of officers for the organization. Elected were President Joanne Roy of Northland Restaurant, Vice President Mark Belanger of N.H. Employment Security, Treasurer Bronson Frizzell of Citizens Bank, and Secretary Lucy Letarte of Caron Building Center. the needs of its people? Please take the time to research this issue further.

AYOTTE from page one

Ayotte said a Government Accounting Office study found examples of payments made to people who did not qualify including some who were dead. She said the program is an important safety net but needs to be reviewed to make sure than are safe guards so the money goes where it is needed. On the job front, Ayotte said she will work to create a positive climate in this country for businesses. She said too often government gets in the way by over-regulating. She said she supports reforming the tax code and providing capital investment credits. She also sees high speed Internet as important for rural communities. Finally, Ayotte said she will work to keep New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary. Florida recently announced plans to hold its primary before New Hampshire. She observed the Granite State knows grass roots politics and citizens participate in the process. “We do a service to the country,” she said.

INJUNCTION from page one

Under the terms of the proposed contract, there would be no salary or scale increase during the first year. In year two, there would be a 3.65 percent increase, totaling about $74,503; in year three, there would be a 3.54 percent increase for a total of $46,058; and the final year, there would be a 4.5 percent increase for about $92,634. The teachers’ union ratified the contract and it was then brought before the school board last week. The board ratified the contract by a 5-3 vote. Balon also charges in the petition that the G.R.S. Cooperative School Board’s vote on the contract was done illegally in a non-public session, contrary to the N.H. Right to Know Law.

“It’s a time of great uncertainty,” she said. Ayotte acknowledged it is a challenging situation for President Obama and said she was glad to see him condemn the violence by the Libyan government. She said this is a time to let the administration represent the values of the United States. Turning to local issues, Ayotte said she will work to ensure the new federal prison in Berlin opens. “To have invested millions of taxpayers’ dollars and not staff it is just absurd,” she said. Ayotte called the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LHEAP) an important program for the state and noted the administration’s cut was much deeper than that proposed by the House. The president’s budget proposes to cutting funding for the popular program in half, from $5.1 billion to $2.5 billion. She said the House proposes cutting it to $4.7 million.

self from the negotiations. He adds that school board member Greg Corrigan recused himself from voting on the proposed contract and completely removed himself from the board discussions about the contract, since his wife is a teacher. The petition states that the district’s business manager has handled the contract negotiation process in the past, and was still involved with the discussion for the proposed contract. The proposed four-year contract was introduced after the union agreed to open up its previous contract and forgo a raise in the 2011- 2012 budget cycle, and also save an English teaching position that’s slated to be cut.

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis the energy firsthand and make your decisions based on that alone. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be able to feel the force of goodness at work in your life. It’s comforting to realize that this is something that’s bigger than you -- bigger than any individual on the planet. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re headed for an awe-inspiring encounter. You don’t have to go out of your way to find it, either. All you have to do is shift your perspective. Everything around you is miraculous if you choose to see it that way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your experiences will shape you. Whoever you are at the start of the day, you’ll be someone different at the end of the day. The changes will be subtle yet undeniable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be offered a gift that will test your grace. You can resist the gift because it makes you feel flustered and unworthy. Or you can simply smile and accept it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is much to appreciate around you. You’ve seen it before, but you’ll notice it in a new way today. Dare to be excited. Enthusiasm is the nectar of the gods. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 2). Your talents will be recognized and celebrated. The next 10 weeks will boost your social status -- one relationship will be particularly fulfilling. You’ll travel in style in May. You’ll be in a position to help loved ones in June. July features increased self-discipline. Wedding bells ring in September. You share a special connection with Gemini and Libra people. Your lucky numbers are: 16, 33, 2, 15 and 46.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You really don’t feel that you have to beat anyone else in order to win at life. Since you don’t have any worries about being inferior or superior to anyone, you treat everyone as an equal and are accepted by all you meet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll observe others without feeling the need to judge them. It’s not because you’re trying to be a saint, but because you realize that non-judgment allows you to see and know more about the way things really are. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It will feel as though you can communicate with the elements. The ancient Egyptians believed everything was alive, including the rocks and the rivers. You’ll relate to the world as though this is true today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll meet a potential friend. This one is a true kindred spirit and requires you to be nothing other than who you are. You won’t need to promote yourself or put on any kind of affectation. You’re perfect “as-is.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is little room for compromise in some of your relationships, and this causes stress for you today. Luckily, you have a heavenly place in your own mind where you can go when you need relief and relaxation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Changes are on the way. Go with what feels right. There is an idea unfolding in your life that will, once completely unfurled, transform your environment and your schedule. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have an eye for the immaterial. You see beyond the solid form of things and people you encounter. You experience

NEIGHBORS’ NIGHTLY WATER SHOW IS BEGINNING TO MAKE WAVES

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I moved into our first home two years ago. A few months after that, our lives got even better with the addition of our son. After living here for a while, we noticed that the neighbors behind us have a large window in their shower, and they tend to take a lot of nighttime showers. (I’m sure you can see where this is heading.) For a long time, we chose to ignore it, but my motherly instincts are getting the better of me now. I can’t help thinking of the day when my son is old enough to realize what he’s seeing. My husband and I have been debating whether to tell our neighbors we can see them showering. Sometimes they get pretty carried away in there. Should I tell them we can see everything? And if so, how do I go about it without causing them to be embarrassed, ashamed or angry? -- GETTING AN EYEFUL IN OHIO DEAR GETTING AN EYEFUL: Another shower letter! Write your neighbors a polite note telling them there is a clear view into their shower when their lights are on at night. Explain that before your son was born this was not of concern to you, but now that you have a small child, you would appreciate it if they would work with you on a solution to this problem. They may not be aware they’ve been putting on an X-rated show. DEAR ABBY: I have worked in the same office for more than a decade. Last year I returned to school in an effort to finally get into a field where I can earn more money. I will graduate next spring and, hopefully, will begin a new career. I need your advice about how to approach my boss when

the time comes. This is a very small office and, while I wouldn’t call us friends, we probably have a closer relationship than most people in a larger office would have. Any thoughts on the best way to approach this? -- GIVING NOTICE ON THE EAST COAST DEAR GIVING NOTICE: Because you have been in school for the length of time you have, your announcement will probably not come as much of a surprise to your employer. However, before you give notice, be sure you have another job in place. When you do speak to your employer, thank him or her for your job. Explain that you are ready to start in your new field and offer to spend a few weeks training your replacement to make any transition easier. DEAR ABBY: My husband recently had major surgery. I wanted to call a few close friends and family members beforehand to let them know. When I told my husband, we had an argument. He felt they would feel obligated to respond. I felt it would be nice for both of us to have support and that they would want to know. As it turned out, I made some calls and we did receive some much-needed support. Was I wrong to do this? (My husband wants your opinion on the matter.) -- GRATEFUL FOR HELPING HANDS IN COLORADO DEAR GRATEFUL: The prospect of major surgery can be frightening -- both for the patient and the spouse. Your husband may have preferred to downplay it because he was afraid broadcasting it was displaying weakness. You obviously found the prospect traumatic and didn’t want to be alone at that time. Was it wrong to ask for help? I don’t think so. My advice to your husband is to lighten up and get well soon.

Conant eliminates Lady Mountaineers –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

HILLSBOROUGH -- The number 2 ranked Conant girl’s basketball team ouscored Berlin 28-15 in the second half and went on to defeat the Mountaineers 44-26 eliminating Berlin from post season play. In the first half, Berlin gave the highly regard Orioles all they could handle. By the time the half time horn sounded, Conant clinged to a slim 16-11 lead. Emily Coll and Theresa DiTommaso both had four points for Berlin. The Mounties were led by junior Megan Hood with five points. “I thought we played great defense in the first half keeping the three time defending player of the year Brooke Springfield scoreless,” said coach Sean Walsh. “Moriah Arsenault did an unbelievable defensive job on Springfield the whole game with a lot of much needed help from her teammates. I think we had a good game plan coming into the game and the girls executed it very well frustrating them in the first half. The start of the game we let up 4 transition hoops before we settled into the game, not bad considering the half time score was 16-11 them.” The second half led to Berlin’s demise. Conant is and has been tournament tested for several years now. They began to pull away from Berlin and never allowed the Lady Mountaineers to creep back into

the contest to win 44-26. In the second half, Springfield scored all of her game high twelve points for Conant. Berlin was paced by Arsenault’s three hoops. For the game, Berlin shot 8-26 from the floor and just 2-13 from behind the three point arc. The Mounties were 4-8 or 50% from the foul line and had 17 turnovers. Berlin was led by Arsenault’s nine and Hood’s seven points. For Conant, the home team shot 17-40 from the floor for a 42% rating. From the foul line, the Orioles were 10-14 and had a mere nine turnovers. “The beginning of the third quarter started with 4 consecutive turnovers that led to 4 layups,” said Walsh. “That stretched the lead to 13 quickly. We started pressing too hard to overcome it and it just ballooned on us. The girls definitely didn’t give up they fought right to the last buzzer. They absolutely have nothing to hang their heads about they represented themselves and Berlin very well. It was the last high school basketball game for senior players: Moriah Arsenault, Brittney Brown, Sarah Landers, Marisa Lemoine, and Megan Morin as well as managers Mariah Middleton, and Tyler Cotnoir. I will miss them very much and wish them well in all of their future endeavors.” BHS 06 05 08 07--26 CHS 10 06 14 14--44

Purple Eagles fly past Gorham boys, 76-52 BY JEAN LEBLANC GROVETON -- The Groveton Eagles basketball team is peaking at the right time of the year. For Eagle coaches, Mark Collins and John Rooney, this may be their best work ever. The Groveton boys began the season 2-7 and seemed destined for a sub .500 year and would be hard pressed to qualify for post season play. Now, with one game to play, the 8-9 Eagles are looking to finish the year at 9-9, after rolling past Gorham 76-52 in Groveton Monday. The loss ended any hope of post season play for the Huskie boys. The Huskies came into the contest severely banged up. Senior guard Sean Goodrich was not in uniform and both Pat Pike and Cody LeBlanc were hobbled with ankle and knee problems. Gorham gave the Eagles all they had in the first quarter and trailed just 15-14. Eagle Sean Erving was hot early from the top of the key netting seven points for the home team. Sam Jensen and Jake St. Hilare had five points each for Gorham. The Eagles stepped up their work in the defensive end in the second quarter. The Huskies had effectively controlled the ball against Groveton’s full court pressure. Groveton dropped back into a man to man defense and took advantage of Gorham’s lack of ball handling ability due to injuries. The Eagles out scored Gorham 21-9 in the second quarter to establish a 36-23 lead at half time. The Huskies never recovered. Senior Doug Willey netted six points in

the second quarter for Gorham, Nate Smith had three buckets for the Eagles. The third quarter was almost a carbon copy of the second. Groveton extended their lead to 53-32 by the end of the quarter. Junior Terry Bedell and senior Cody Brasse were very active on the interior netting six and five points respectively. St. Hilare and Willey had three points each for the visitors. The final quarter saw both teams go deep into their benches and spend some time at the foul line. There was a total of 43 points scored and 18 foul shots taken to make the final score 76-52. Seven different players dented the scoring column for Groveton, Willey had five more markers for the Huskies. For the game, Nate Smith had 22 points for the home team. Braase 15 and both Bedell and Irving 13 points each, were key contributors to the Eagle offense. Willey 14, Jensen 12, and St Hilare 10 points, paced the Huskie offense. Gorham’s final game will be on Wednesday, when they travel to Bethlehem to take on the Patriots. Eagles 15 21 17 23--76 Huskies 14 09 09 20--52 Groveton (76)- Marshall 1-1-3, Burt 2-2-6, Emerson 1-2-4, Smith 10-2-22, Irving 6-0-13, Bedell 4-513, Braase 6-3-15.

Popular show returns to St. Kieran Arts Center

BERLIN -- Think Green! Dennis O’Neil and Davey Armstrong, known as the popular and multitalented duo “Four Feet Two Shoes”, will bring an exciting mix of traditional Irish and Celtic songs and music to St. Kieran Arts Center on Sunday, March 6, at 2 p.m. just in time to launch St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for students. Dennis and Davey’s music is greatly influenced by traditional Irish and Scottish ballads, jigs and reels, and flavored with touches of reggae, and rock and roll. Their rapport with any audience, young and old is warm and instant. They have a great love for what they do and it shows. Fans will be excited to know that they have just released a new album and will be featuring selections from the CD throughout the concert. They have been brought back to St. Kieran’s by popular demand. Why the name Four Feet Two Shoes? Their name is derived from Davey’s preference to play the bass pedals with his bare feet---while also playing the guitar or banjo---while also playing harmonica, Celtic flute and singing! They have a special way

Dennis and Davey have shared the stage with such diverse acts as the New England Symphony, Caeli Rain, the Austin Lounge Lizards, the New England Brass Ensemble and the Lowe Family. They continue to enjoy performing for audiences of all ages at concerts, festivals, special functions, and several popular Irish pubs throughout New England and especially in their hometown of North Conway. “St. Kieran Arts Center is located in the old Irish Acres village of Berlin where Irish immigrants first settled at the turn of century.
