Candidate for selectman arrested, arraigned BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM — A candidate for selectman in Gorham found himself on the wrong end of the law yesterday as a result of his allegedly causing unrest at the town's Public Works Department earlier in the week. Tad Michaud, 55, of Gorham, was arrested at 11:50 a.m. on March 1, and charged with three counts of disorderly conduct and one count of criminal tres-

pass. He refused the services of a bail commissioner, and entered a plea of not guilty in a telephonic arraignment in First Circuit Court later that afternoon. Bail was set at $1,000 personal recognizance bail and Michaud is scheduled to appear for trial on May 29. The arrest followed a police investigation into two separate incidents that had been reported to police by workers at the town garage. According to a police affidavit for an arrest warrant, filed by Gorham Lt.

Jen Lemoine, Michaud had caused a disruption at the Gorham Public Works garage on Main Street both on Feb. 15 and then again on Feb. 27. On both occasions, Michaud referred to his run for public office and personnel changes he planned to make. Public Works Director Austin “Buddy” Holmes reported to police that Michaud had engaged in disruptive behavior by circling the town garage in his truck, decorated with campaign signs, while honksee CANDIDATE page 6

Suspect of fake kidnapping charged locally with rape, assault BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — A man recently implicated in a false kidnapping case in Concord appeared in First Circuit Court in Berlin, on Tuesday, to answer charges that he raped and terrorized a woman in Gorham

last October. Jamey Kidder, 38 of Concord, entered no plea on felony charges of second degree assault and aggravated felonious sexual assault. He also pleaded not guilty to seven misdemeanor charges brought by Gorham police and another four brought by Berlin

police. According to the complaints filed against him, Kidder is accused of sitting on top of a woman and strangling her and then holding an “electronic defense weapon” near her throat and raping her. see SUSPECT page 6

Possible warrant article amendment offered up BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM — The debate in Gorham about whether or not the budget committee should be kept or dissolved took a turn on Monday night. At the regular meeting of the board of selectmen, on Feb. 27, Gorham citizen Mike Waddell took his time during the period of open public comment to gauge the board’s feeling on a new proposal. Waddell said he had been thinking that while he is in favor of disbanding the town’s budget committee as it now stands, he believes there should be some layer of budgetary oversight. “It’s important that there’s an independent body in town that that’s their sole task,” he told the selectmen. To that end, Waddell said, he had devised a possible amendment to the petitioned warrant article to abolish the budget committee. Noting that he believed having no budget oversight see AMENDMENT page 7

Competitive yoga? Yeah, it is a thing

(NY Times) — For Kelsea Bangora, New York’s 2011 yoga asana champion, the conversation usually goes like this: “Yoga champion? How does that work?” “Well, it’s like a dance performance, sort of, or a gymnastics routine, but not really.” Others will be vying for that title when the United States Yoga Federation hosts the ninth New York Regional and National Yoga Asana Championship Friday night through Sunday afternoon at the Hudson Theater in Midtown Manhattan. Before a panel of five judges, participants will have three minutes to perform seven postures, five required and two of their choice. In the youth division, participants ages 11 to 17 will perform six postures total. The top two finishers in each group — men, women and youth — will proceed to compete in the Bishnu Charan Ghosh Cup, the international championship held in Los Angeles in June. In Sanskrit, yoga means to connect or bind together. Body with mind. Breath with movement. Inner with outer. Patanjali, who wrote the Yoga Sutras thousands of years ago, posited that yoga created holistic health by easing the fluctuations of the mind. Over time, many limbs of yoga formed. Hatha yoga, developed in the 15th century, is the physical practice that most Americans are familiar with, referred to as asana.

Syrian rebels say they are Official: withdrawing from enclave Accused Americans

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

BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — After a bruising, 27-day siege under intensifying bombardment, rebels holed up in the shattered Baba Amr neighborhood of the central Syrian city of Homs announced a “tactical withdrawal” on Thursday, apparently handing victory to forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad but raising concerns about the plight

of civilians there. A campaign of raids and arrests began almost immediately in the area, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in Britain, which said 17 people had died in Baba Amr on Thursday. Later, the International Committee of the Red Cross said that Syrian authorities had granted

leave Egypt

it a “green light” to enter the neighborhood on Friday in order to bring humanitarian aid and attempt to evacuate as many people as possible. “If the journalists are there then this applies to them as well,” said Hicham Hassan, a Red Cross spokesman, in reference to two Western journalists had been trapped there since last week.

CAIRO (NY Times) — Americans who had been stuck in Egypt left the country Thursday evening after Egyptian officials lifted a travel ban imposed as part of a politically charged criminal case against four nonprofit groups here, a senior official with the Obama administration and witnesses at the airport said. United States officials originally said seven Americans accused in the case had left, but one of the seven chose to stay behind, according to a lawyer involved in the case and an American involved in negotiations with the Egyptian authorities. At least four other foreigners who work for the nonprofits left, according to the American who was part of the talks. The Americans were allowed to go after $4 million in bail was posted and they agreed to return for their trial. Officials are pressing to have the case dropped before then.

Senate blocks bill opposing contraception policy WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Senate on Thursday killed a Republican effort to let employers and health insurance companies deny coverage for contraceptives and other services to which they have religious or moral objections. The vote was 51 to 48. In effect, the Senate upheld President Obama’s birth control policy. The policy guarantees that women have access to insurance coverage for contraceptives at no charge, through an employer’s health plan or directly from an insurance company. The vote generally followed party lines. Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, who said this

week that she would not run for re-election, was the only Republican to vote with Democrats to kill the measure. The challenge to the president’s policy was supported by 45 Republicans and 3 Democrats: Senators Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, Joe Manchin III of West Virginia and Ben Nelson of Nebraska; Casey and Manchin are up for re-election this year, while Nelson is retiring this year. The vote followed four days of impassioned debate in which senators from both parties weighed the competing claims of religious freedom and the reproductive rights of women.

Obama: Mideast tension driving up gas prices

NASHUA — President Barack Obama laid out his energy plan Thursday during his second New Hampshire visit in about three months. Obama delivered his speech to a packed house at Nashua Community College. Obama drew cheers when he said domestic old production must be augmented by investment in wind, solar and biomass fuels. He used his plan as a springboard to take a shot at the Republican presidential field. “You know what the essence of their plan is going to be, which is, ‘Step 1: drill. Step 2: drill. Step 3: keep drilling,’” Obama said. “’And by the way, we’ll drill in your backyard.’” Obama said political rhetoric that rising gas prices can be linked to his administration is false, saying that tensions with Iran and rising worldwide demand are responsible for the increases.

“You know that we can’t drill our way to lower gas prices,” he said. “There are no quick fixes or silver bullets. If somebody tells you there are, they are not telling you the truth.” The president showed a chart that he said shows that the country’s dependency on foreign oil is trending in the right direction. “The bar on the left shows that six years ago, 60 percent of the oil we used was imported,” he said. “Since I took office, our dependency on foreign oil has gone down every single year.” The president also set his sights on Congress, calling for an end to the decades of taxpayer subsidies for oil companies. “Does anyone really think that Congress should give them another $4 billion this year?” Obama said. “Of course not. It’s outrageous. It’s inexcusable.” —Courtesy of WMUR

–––––––––––––––– LETTERS ––––––––––––––––

I will be voting yes on articles 2 and 3 To the editor: I would like to state a few facts concerning the “Join me in voting no on articles 2 and 3” published in the letters portion of the paper on Tues. Feb.21, 2012. This letter talks about a serious threat to our town and our way of life. It brings up a concern of large investment firms owning most of the land within the Conservation Zones. The possibility of these firms subdividing, and building cheap housing on two-acre lots. It also states how much this would hurt the taxpayers in our town. Number 1. A lot of what was written is pure speculation, although I will say that it is possible. 2. As far as a home being built on a tenacre lot being more valuable than say a home on every 2 acres within the same ten acres, “well I need to ask how that could be”. Most of the tax dollars come from structures, not the land itself. Consider the tax dollars paid on a single family dwelling situated on a ten acre parcel verses the tax dollars that would be paid on a single family dwelling on every two acre lot within the same ten acres. I also wonder what municipal services are being mentioned. The town road is already being cared for. The utilities fall on the seller or buyer. And so does Telex Communications. As far as sewage, it also doesn’t fall on the town. And Septic System Design has to be by a state licensed engineer, the state E.P.A. is fully involved.

The cost incurred is not town responsibility. Our town as it stands relies on the resident’s hard-earned tax dollars to survive. The reason for this is the fact that we don’t have any taxable industry other than the “Hydro” and maybe the wind mill project. I’m not saying that this is a bad thing, but I will say that the more housing we have the more tax dollars the town will bring in. If those dollars are saved and used wisely, our town tax rate could be decreased. With all that being said, I will also say, “I am not for over development in our town”! Also you are reading letters designed to put fear in you concerning the proposed changes. Do not be afraid of these changes. The ordinances prior to 1999 do not allow junk yards, or development to run amuck! Our state has very strict laws when dealing with waterways, (rivers, ponds and lakes), these laws must be followed or penalties would be incurred. Keep in mind, with new people come new ideas. No one that I know of wants to destroy our town in any way shape or form! And there is more than just a few that know changes are needed in order to lighten the load on the Dummer town tax tayers! I will be voting yes in accordance with the town planning board recommendations on both articles. I urge you all to do the same. Dennis Bachand Dummer

Ithaca Bound

Lion To Lamb

Just a bit off-left of the center of the work station in my office is a sizeable window. There isn’t anything visible outside the window right now, as it is slightly before eight o’clock on Wednesday evening. Tomorrow morning, though, as I sit at my work station and review and rewrite this article before sending it off to the “Daily Sun,” the weather reports tell me that, outside that window, snow will once again be blanketing the county, and the month of March will be coming in like a lion. Since I expect to be driving down to a Writer’s Conference at Southern New Hampshire University, in Manchester, on the last day of March, I certainly hope that the month goes out like a lamb – especially since I’ve already paid the non-refundable registration free. In the meantime, whether the month turns out to be more lion than lamb or vice-versa, March provides the writer with plenty of story-writing material. For example, according to one website I visited, March 1st is Peanut Butter Lovers Day. (Of course, if you are a Peanut Butter Lover like me, every day is Peanut Butter Lovers Day.) So, this morning, in honor of that day, I had a piece of toasted Cinnamon Swirl Bread with a generous topping of peanut butter adorning one side of it. The first day of March also saw the act establishing Yellowstone Park as the nation’s first national park signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant, in 1872. A visit to Yellowstone, or to any other of our national parks and forests, always leaves one in awe of nature’s wonders and deeply grateful to those who often had to labor long and often against formidable opposition to preserve some of that wonder for generations yet to come to see and to be inspired. March 2, the day you are reading this, is the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel – Dr. Seuss, in case you don’t recognize his given name. What a wonderful gift of imagination and invention this Springfield, Massachusettsborn (1904) man gave to the world! What a way to play with words! And how appropriate that the new animated movie based on his book “The Lorax” opens nationwide on this day! One hopes that the movie is worthy

of the man. Some years back, there was a Conway Family reunion in Springfield. A highlight of that brief two-day get-together was a visit to the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden at the Springfield Museums. Walking among the different sculptures depicting characters from the books of Dr. Seuss brought back so many memories of our two boys as they were growing up there. As Dr. Seuss wrote: “Oh, the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.” Saturday, March 3, marks the 81st anniversary of the date that the “The StarSpangled Banner” was officially adopted by an act of Congress as the nation’s National Anthem. Francis Scott Key’s poem, written in 1814, and originally entitled “Defence of Fort McHenry,” had been but one of many patriotic songs used over the years to represent the United States on both formal and informal occasions. The Navy was the first to adopt it, in 1889, for official use. President Woodrow Wilson used it in 1916. And fifteen years later, in 1931, Congress passed a resolution, signed by President Herbert Hoover, making “The Star-Spangled Banner” America’s official National Anthem. The first Congress to meet under the newly-adopted Constitution met in New York City on the fourth of March 1789. While the meeting was an historic event in the saga of the fledgling nation, only nine of the newlyelected twenty-two Senators and thirteen of the fifty-nine Representatives were able to make it to New York on time. Somehow the nation survived. And finally, the fourth of March 1791 saw our neighbor Vermont end its efforts at being an independent republic and become the fourteenth state of the Union. Well, as the song goes, “the weather outside is frightful.” Glancing outside my window, I see the snow accumulating inch by inch on our yard. March is, indeed, coming in like a lion. Perhaps, though, the lion will slowly retract its claws over the days to come and allow the lamb to make its welcome entrance. In the meantime, the folder for March has much to offer.

Petition against land grab being forced upon town of Errol by Paul Casey and the federal government is nearing the end To the editor: My petition concerning the land grab being forced upon us by Paul Casey and the federal government known as the Umbagog Wildlife Refuge is nearing the end. I contacted Ray Burton and we met along with Larry Enman, one of Errol’s selectmen, and set a date of March 24, for the presentation of the petitions to New Hampshire’s senators and representatives. We are hoping, along with Sen. Gallus, to present them in his Berlin office at 11 a.m. At that time I will also present all the letters and requests that were sent by our county commissioners, Ray Burton, selectmen, and Sen. Gallus, and promptly ignored by the Dept. of Interior and our federal politicians. I will also have copies of emails and a letter from Sen. Shaheen bragging about her role in procuring millions for this federal bureaucracy. This petition has been a huge success in

bringing to the fore, this issue of unelected bureaucrats buying up land, putting their own rules in place, destroying towns’ and a county’s tax base, arrogantly ignoring local customs, and worse of all, having the audacity to claim that they have made this a better place. Loss of logging jobs, recreational opportunities, and less and less business will eventually bear this out. If you really want to see your tax dollars at work, just take a ride into the Potter Farm where the federal empire builders have all their toys, paid for with your tax dollars. With luck the gate may be open to the land you bought. A huge garage, a three bay garage, a couple of storage buildings, construction equipment, and not just the kind one would use to do small jobs like burying shingles or other things, but major construction. Also, their assortment of Chevy 2500 pickups, and other vehicles including see PETITION page 5

K&S holds fundraiser for local Special Olympics To the editor: On Friday evening, February 17, K & S Fitness, 55 Maynesboro Street, Berlin, NH, held a “Caring Hearts Zumba & Kickboxing Party” to benefit the local (Berlin-Gorham Chapter) Special Olympics of New Hampshire. Participants danced and kickboxed under the black and disco lights in a “dance club” atmosphere to Zumba and Pop songs. This special event raised almost $300 which was donated to Special Olympics. We decided to donate to this charity as a way of giving back to the community who has supported us in our business and made K & S Fitness such a success during the past year. We also wish to extend a big “thank PETITION from page 5

ATV’s the beautiful people can drive on the land we purchased for them. Being unelected gives these people the arrogance they have for locals. They answer only to other unelected bureaucrats in South Hadley, Mass. So far, with many petitions still to come in, we are up to 650 signatures. It should exceed 1000. A lot of this success is due to people like George Croteau who got the petition around Berlin, the Portsmouth Navy Yard, the many businesses in Berlin, and of course the businesses in Errol who had the courage to have it in their places of business, knowing that it would affect their refuge business. Those people deserve our support because they value freedom and our logging heritage more than Paul Casey’s money. Places like the Hawg Trawth, Great North Woods One Stop, Errol General Store, and the Errol Restaurant stood by the snowmobilers, hunters, and camp owners. Welsh’s Restaurant in Gorham, Isaacson Steel, Gordy’s store in West Milan and Bose Buck Camps all stood by us. Please reciprocate. They stood by us and refused to make a deal with the devil. I also appreciate the over 100 emails I received from people downstate, and out of state supporting our fight. Even with a poor winter for snowmobiling, we had a lot of support from tourists who see the danger of federal control of our lives and livelihoods. For over 200 years, we and our forefathers have done a pretty good job of conserving our natural resources and taking care of the land up here. Local control and private ownership have done a good job with our schools, towns, and forests, all the while keeping oppressive regulation at a minimum and our lands open to recreation. I had a chance in Concord three weeks ago while testifying on a bill to knock on doors and talk to our N.H. legislators. Most had no idea what was going on up here. Also, when J.T. Horne from TPL visited our selectmen a couple of weeks ago, he got an earful from our selectmen on this topic, especially the recent loss of 4,500 more acres in Cambridge. Another loss of tax base for Coos County. The windmills that decorate our hillsides in Millsfield and Dixville are paying $495,000 annually to those towns in lieu of taxes for 10 years. The feds paid Errol $13,000 in lieu of taxes this year for 14,000+ acres and nothing for the buildings they destroyed. Quite

you” to the businesses who donated door prizes for this event. They include: Androscoggin Valley Hospital who donated a gift certificate for an aesthetic laser treatment, Lisa Picard who donated a gift basket filled with “Spa” products from Arbonne, Crystal Martin who donated a gift certificate to Rumorz Boutique, and Brenda Lamarque who donated a Pampered Chef gift bag which included a large pizza stone and a pizza cutter. We would like to offer a sincere “Thank You” to all who attended and supported this event. It was greatly appreciated! Kim Poulin and Sue Martin Co-Owners and Instructors K & S Fitness a difference between a federal entity and private enterprise. In closing, we are not done until Paul Casey is gone, the damage he has done to this county is reversed with conservation easements, and our state Fish and Game controls the hunting and fishing regulations. Also, the ridiculous destruction of camps and lease terminations is ended. This has resulted in loss of business as people no longer visit those camps which are now gone, either burned to the ground or ground up for some landfill. In reality, I know that trying to effect change with a bunch of arrogant unelected bureaucrats who answer only to other unelected bureaucrats in South Hadley, Mass., is pretty futile, so we have to go after our federal senators and representatives who fund this beast. Senator Shaheen has proudly sold our county down the drain to the radical environmental movement and is now a Washington person, aligned with notables such as Barbara Boxer and Nancy Pelosi, so she is probably a lost cause until she runs for office again. That still leaves us with Sen. Ayotte and Rep. Bass who are sympathetic to our plight. If you want to see what this whole Federal land grab is headed for in this United States, google Agenda 21 and look at the proposed depopulation maps which are supported by our current administration. The Agenda has actually been bought into by every president from the elder Bush on up to Obama. This stuff is not make-believe, was started in the ‘90s by the U.N. and is being heavily discussed in Maine right now. It is basically a socialistic blueprint for a “One World Government” set up by the U.N. It seeks to elevate third world countries by lowering our standard of living, redistributing our wealth, and uses the catchword “biodiversity” to justify eliminating private land ownership. Our area is slated for zero population, except of course for the unelected bureaucrats, Until then, we have no recourse but to try and elect people who believe in local control, value freedom, will cut their budgets, and eliminate these unelected leeches from our town and county. I will keep in touch and confirm the March 24, date when Ray Burton gets back to me. Until then, a grateful “thank you” to all who supported this petition. We still have a long way to go.

rimack County Jail in lieu of $50,000 cash bail, also has charges pending in Concord. According to a Feb. 10 report in the Concord Monitor, Kidder is accused of staging a kidnapping hoax in Concord, on Feb. 2. The scheme involved the teenage son of his ex-wife, who Kidder allegedly convinced to fake being kidnapped in order to illegally secure money from the boy’s grandmother — Kidder’s ex-mother-in-law. He is alleged to have taken $4,000 in ransom as a result of the hoax. The teen was not charged. Probable cause hearings on the Gorham-based felony cases are scheduled for March 13, at 11 a.m., in Berlin. Trials for all of the pending local misdemeanor charges are scheduled for May 2, at 11 a.m.

$4 a gallon those trucks need to be shut off. I am a fly on the wall and I see everything. There is no need for those trucks to be idling.” He admitted to yelling and pointing his finger, but said he couldn't help it because he gets so mad, Lemoine stated. The public works employees who witnessed the incident told police that Michaud was yelling and cursing, as well as threatening that “they were all done.” During questioning on March 1, in the course of the investigation into the Feb. 27 incident, the town employees added that Michaud had also followed the trucks in the snow removal detail to Cascade Flats and rode behind the last truck with his hazards on, occasionally flashing his lights and distracting the crew from their task. The driver of the last truck in line said that Michaud followed so closely that at times he could not see the vehicle. Lemoine had asked Michaud to meet her at the police station after the early morning traffic stop on Monday to further discuss the incident, she wrote. She offered him the chance to submit a written statement of his account of the incident and he declined, and asked if he would be arrested. Lemoine said that it may come to that, to which she said Michaud responded it was okay. Lemoine said he told her all the officers do a good job, except for the chief, “his days are numbered.” Michaud went on to ask for Lemoine's vote, she said, and discussed his plans for the town once he was elected.

The assault allegedly took place at the Gorham Motor Inn on Oct. 4. Kidder is charged with two counts of misdemeanor simple assault, one charge of obstructing the report of a crime, one count of violating a protective order, one count of criminal threatening, and one count of criminal mischief, all relating to the same incident in Gorham. Berlin police have charged Kidder with four counts of violating a protective order for contacting the same woman by phone on Sept. 20 and Oct. 8, through a third party using a juvenile on Oct. 10, and by email on Jan. 11. Kidder, who is currently being held at the Mering his horn and then parking by the sand and salt shed with his flashers activated and waving at town employees while they were working. He told police that Michaud had also entered the garage and loudly told Holmes he would fire him once he (Michaud) was elected as a selectman. The affidavit goes on to state that after the initial incident, Gorham Police Chief PJ Cyr spoke with Michaud on Feb. 16, and told him that his disruptive behavior was concerning and could lead to an arrest if it continues. Cyr said that Michaud informed him that he understood and would stop. Cyr also told him he was “not authorized to enter the work areas within the public works facility because it created a potential liability for the town.” Michaud then allegedly defied Cyr's warning on Feb. 27, again entering the public works garage and yelling. Lemoine was called by public works foreman Joseph Ramsey, at 3:49 a.m. on Monday morning. Ramsey reported that Michaud had come in through an “Employees Only” entrance and was yelling and cursing at the crew on snow removal duty. In her arrest warrant petition, Lemoine wrote that she encountered Michaud's vehicle as he was leaving and conducted a motor vehicle stop. When she approached his vehicle he offered his motives without Lemoine having to ask, stating, “Sorry Jen but I had to say something. Things are gonna change. At

AMENDMENT from page one

was not in the best interest of the legislative body, Waddell proposed an amendment that would add a request that the selectmen set up an advisory budget committee. He understood that the amendment could only be made on the floor at town meeting, and would be subject to voter approval, but said he wanted to see if the selectmen believed it was worth pursuing. Waddell suggested an 11 member advisory committee so that the odd number would help avoid tie votes. Additionally, Waddell said, in his concept the town should hold five “ex officio” seats, with the remaining six seats filled from the public at large. Currently the 10-member budget committee consists of nine elected public members and one representative from the board of selectmen. In Waddell’s proposal, the five ex officio would be comprised of representatives from the school board, water and sewer commission, board of selectmen, library trustees and planning board. Waddell, who is also a school board member, said he spoke with other school board members and the SAU 20 superintendent and was told that the GRS Cooperative School District would not be opposed to being part of a budget oversight process if the committee were advisory and therefore not subject to the 10 percent rule. Waddell explained that even setting aside the personalities that currently make up the budget committee — voted in as a statutory committee overseeing the town’s proposed appropriations a number of years ago RECIPE from page one

— he is fundamentally opposed to that board’s ability to limit the voters’ say on spending through the 10 percent rule. He added that he believed many people still do not understand how the state’s 10 percent rule works, as it applies to towns with statutory budget committees. The rule limits the power of the voters at town meeting by allowing them to raise any proposed budget prepared by a statutory budget committee, by no more than 10 percent. That means that if a budget committee were to cut more than 10 percent of a town’s budget prior to town meeting, the voters could reinstate only a portion of those funds if they so desired. In addition to resolving the issue of voter control, Waddell said a budget committee with this make-up could serve as a way to open up dialogue between the representative boards. “Board members tend to get isolated,” he said. Having the five board representatives working together on the budgets would keep the lines of communication open, Waddell suggested. “Like you I don’t like the 10 percent rule,” said selectman Paul Robitaille, who added that he believed there is some value in maintaining oversight. Robitaille said that he was willing to consider Waddell’s proposal but would also like to check on the legalities if any. Another member of the small crowd in attendance, Tad Michaud, a candidate for selectman this March, said that he believed the people should vote on the warrant article as it stands. “See what happens, let the people vote,” Michaud said. He also accused Waddell of wanting to “control the people.” Please send any recipes to any of the following people: Jaimie Bisson@ Jaimie.bisson@gmail.com; Holly Tremaine@ htremaine@gmail.com; or Christine Lemoine @ Christine.lemoine@sau20.org our senior project mentor/advisor.

TEAM from page one

various small parks. Public Service of N.H. Community Development Manager Allison McLean said the utility will put together a core of volunteers to work on its downtown park that day. Poulin said she is hoping the NH Grand visitor kiosk will be ready to unveil on May 18 as part of the day’s activities. The city will be the site of the first of the kiosks that are being placed throughout Coos County under a grant received by Northern Community Investment Corporation. Poulin said the Berlin kiosk will feature a map of Coos County on one side and a map and information on the city on another. The kiosk will have WiFi so visitors can access the Internet and a solar panel will provide power for lights. The Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce will manage the kiosk and will sell advertising on the structure to cover maintenance costs. Poulin said the kiosk will be placed at the Glen Avenue entrance to the downtown, replacing the present welcome sign that is there. In conjunction with the kiosk, the team hopes to work with Public Works to allow parking on the right side of the street there. A separate committee is being formed to inventory signs leading into and around the downtown. The committee will also work on a new entrance sign for the downtown. City Planner Pamela Laflamme presented a sketch of a proposed granite sign on a stone wall. Last month, the new action plan, ‘Moving Downtown Forward’ was presented to the city after close to a year of work by a team of consultants. The $15 million plan sets out specific recommendations and actions to revitalize the downtown commercial district. While the bulk of the project is designed to be privately funded, the plan calls for the city to commit to funding 10 percent of the total cost over a ten year period. Emphasizing his support of the plan, Mayor Paul Grenier opened the first meeting of the downtown team. “Today, he said, “is the first day of the rest of Main Street’s life.” Grenier recalled when the downtown was thriving and vibrant. He said that started to change when the large retail stores first came to the Berlin-Gorham Road. Calling the downtown the face of the city, he said it is important to rejuvenate Main Street. Grenier said revitalizing the downtown will also grow the city’s tax base. The mayor noted he pledged in his inaugural address to support funding the Moving Downtown Forward proposal. Poulin met with the city council Monday night

to let the body know the Main Street Program will be seeking $150,000 for the program in the upcoming city budget. The initial response was positive. Councilor Lucie Remillard said she believes the city must invest in the downtown if it wants others to invest money there. She also warned that it will take time to reap results. McLean stressed PSNH is supportive of the effort and understands that its park is a big component of the downtown strategy. She said PSNH has not had time to fully digest the entire report and is not ready to commit to the $2 millions worth of projects outlined for it. McLean said she believes there are things PSNH can do easily while building to larger scale efforts. Poulin stressed at both meetings that the team will try to pick some immediate projects that can be accomplished quickly at relatively little cost to provide some early and visible successes. The group decided that the main team will meet quarterly with the next meeting in June. Businesses and people interested in volunteering for the Day of Caring can e-mail Sylvia Poulin at poulinsg@live. com or City Planner Pamela Laflamme at plaflamme@berlinnh.gov. A copy of the Moving Downtown Forward report is available on the city’s web page at www.berlinnh.gov.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s something tangible you want to have by the end of the day. You will narrow your choices and home in on your top priority. You wisely realize that if you chase everything, you get nothing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are a certain number of halffinished projects in your past, and you have that in common with many other creative people. Seize today’s opportunity to complete a journey, or at least commit to completing it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). All skills require time, patience and practice to learn. As much as you wish for instantaneous knowledge, the very nature of knowing is that it happens through a process. So relax and get ready to go through all of the steps. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Wanting something else doesn’t lessen the value in what you already have. Take measures to care for and protect what you have, and you’ll see the great power and opportunity in it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Checklists will be involved. There’s something wonderful about doing exactly what you expected to be doing. Feeling like you are in control of your time will bring you great happiness. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 2). The next seven weeks represent the end of a cycle, and you’ll celebrate accomplishment and completion. May brings new adventures. Quality time with family and relationship-related events could cause you to change your career trajectory in June. A hobby that has nothing to do with your job will feed your spirit in August. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 12, 25 and 40.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may suffer from a kind of urban ennui. The bustle around you seems like a rerun of yesterday’s drama. Break the pattern by finding reasons to laugh out loud. You’ll probably have to go out of your way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No matter what you achieve, however big or small it may be, you don’t forget your roots. You feel gratitude toward the people who have helped you, and you’ll be sure to express it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You tend to concentrate on one thing until you’re sure it’s solved. It’s a bit like your mind is a television show, and you don’t want to change the channel until the end credits roll. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Avoid being so conscious of returning favors that you don’t enjoy the kindness that others are trying to give you. You’re a good person, and your heart is in the right place. All will balance out in the end. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s natural that you would want to hold on to certain things for sentimental reasons. However, if you have hundreds of such items, the feeling is diluted. Let go of old possessions, and make way for the new. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even when you are overwhelmingly happy with a result, you believe there’s always room for improvement. This mindset is what keeps you learning and growing all day long. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Much good comes from your ability to delay gratification. If you catch yourself thinking of the short term, stop and go for a broader perspective. Before committing to an action, ask yourself what it will likely lead to in the long run.

Page 12 — THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Friday, March 2, 2012

by Abigail Van Buren

FATHER IS TEACHING SON IN THE SCHOOL OF INFIDELITY

DEAR ABBY: I have been married 18 years. In that time my husband has been unfaithful twice. Last week I was going through his cellphone and noticed from his emails that he had registered on a dating service and was exchanging photos with four women. I threw him out of the house. What really upsets me is my 17-year-old son knew about the affairs and thinks it’s perfectly normal for his dad to have female “friends” while we were still living together. I don’t like what my soon-to-be-ex did to me, and I don’t want my son thinking it’s OK to start looking while you’re still married. My son finds ways to excuse his father’s behavior. How can I make him understand that looking for other partners while you’re married is being unfaithful? -- TEXAS WIFE WHO’S HAD IT DEAR HAD IT: That may not be easy. Your husband, by making your son his co-conspirator (“It’ll just be between us guys”), has made him a member of the “boys club” and cliqued you out. Has your son not seen how painful this has been for you? Your almost ex-husband is a terrible role model. When your son follows in Dad’s footsteps -- and there is every reason to believe he will -- he will never have a successful marriage of his own. DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend and I have been dating for four years. In the beginning, we’d split our visits between her house and mine because we live 100 miles apart. Two years ago she stopped wanting me to come to her house. She’d say it was dirty or that she didn’t want anyone there. When we plan to have me go there, the day arrives and she says she wants to break up with me because I insist on visiting her. Over the past year and a half, I have been to her place only three times. She hemmed and hawed but finally allowed it. She claims there’s no reason she’s acting this way, that I’m

crazy and people are putting ideas in my head. I tell her it’s her behavior that makes me think she’s hiding something. What should I do? -- SUSPICIOUS IN BUFFALO DEAR SUSPICIOUS: Something strange IS going on. A drastic change in someone’s behavior is legitimate cause for concern. Clearly your girlfriend has a secret. She may be seeing someone or there’s something else she doesn’t want you to see. You are overdue in getting to the bottom of it, so stop allowing her to put you on the defensive, even if it means ending the relationship. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I received a wedding gift in the form of a donation to a religious organization in honor of our nuptials. I am strongly opposed to this organization because it excludes women from its primary mission due to beliefs I do not share. Having found this gesture to be offensive, how do I acknowledge this “gift”? -- NOT IN MY NAME DEAR NOT IN MY NAME: What a peculiar gift for a wedding. Usually couples receive an item for which they registered, or something they can use or enjoy together. It appears that rather than give you a gift, your guest gave himself/herself a tax deduction. For the sake of good manners, write the person a short note saying, “Thank you for sharing our special day with us.” DEAR ABBY: My husband is 70 and I’m 68. We have been married for two years. His previous wife was 22 years younger than him, and he seems to delight in bringing the age thing up. I feel so old and insecure. Have you any words of wisdom to offer me? -- THE OLD LADY DEAR LADY: Two can play your husband’s game. The next time he mentions it, tell him the reason she’s his “ex” is that he was too old for her -- which is why this time he wised up and picked on somebody “his own size.”

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

Gorham boys rock fourth ranked Purple Eagles, 70-57 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GROVETON--The Huskie basketball team utilized a 20-5 third quarter run, and went on to defeat the Purple Eagles 70-57 in the opening round of the Division IV boys’ basketball playoffs in Groveton Tuesday. “This was a great game by both teams,” said a delighted Huskie coach Billy Goodrich. “Groveton battled all night and our kids responded with solid defense and a great effort on the boards, particularly in the second half when we allowed only 5 offensive rebounds.” The home team got off to a good start and led the visiting Huskies 16-13 after on quarter of play. Senior Tyler Burt had a pair of three-point shots and inside force Nathan Smith had three hoops for the Eagles. The Huskies got eight of their markers from Jake St. Hilare, on a pair of three pointers and a bucket. In the second quarter, Terry Bedell’s eleven points on the interior kept the Eagles in the contest. Gorham got some balanced scoring from Hunter Lambertson, St. Hilare, Michael Turgeon, and Sammy Jensen to post an 18-17 quarter. That got the Huskies to within a hoop at halftime trailing 33-31. “Offensively we shot the ball pretty well from the outside in the first half hitting five 3’s on 10 attempts (Jacob St. Hilare was 3- 5),” said Goodrich. “The story of the game was the third quarter. We out scored a very good Groveton team 20–5, with some good ball movement and 10 points from Hunter off transition baskets.” The third quarter was the turning point for Gorham. By the sound of the horn at the end of the quarter, Gorham had a double digit advantage at 51-38. Lambertson was at full speed netting five buckets in transition to pace the Gorham offense. St. Hilare chipped in by adding five points to his growing total. Smith had three of the five points scored by Groveton. The tough defense played on Burt

by Huskie senior Pat Pike was key for Gorham in the second half. Each team had 19 points scored in the last quarter to make the final score 70-57. “Michael Turgeon had a great night with 11 points and 16 rebounds and Sam Jensen did a great job with 11 points and 8 rebounds,” stated Goodrich. “A crucial point of the game came when Jacob picked up his fourth foul with 3:48 to go in the game. Senior Joey Murphy subbed for him. Following two back to back scores from Groveton to cut the lead to 8, he gathered an offensive rebound and his put back basket with 2:30 left gave us a 10 point lead and really put Groveton in a tough spot. This was probably our most important basket of the year. Had we missed and Groveton scored, a six point lead could have been a huge lift for Groveton. Down the stretch the kids took care of the ball, hit a couple of key free throws and finished the game strong.” The Huskies got scoring from six different players in the final quarter, led by Lambertson’s five points. Smith had five buckets and a free throw for the home team. Goodrich summarized the huge victory for his thirteenth ranked Huskies over the fourth ranked Eagles. This was a great win for our kids and they were certainly helped by the huge following of fans especially from our students. They certainly made a difference.”For the game, Groveton got 21 points from Smith. Both Bedell and Burt chipped in at 13 markers each. The Eagles had 25 field goals from the floor, and shot 4-10 from the foul line. Gorham was led by Lambertson’s 24 points and St. Hilare’s 19 markers. Key contributors offensively and on the board included both Jensen and Turgeon netting 11 points each. On Friday in their quarter final match, Gorham will travel to Derryfield high school to take on the fifth ranked Cougars at 7 PM.
