Minimum security inmates Enroll now in scheduled to arrive in August federal prison

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – The federal prison will receive its first inmates at the end of August when the minimum security inmates arrive.

Most of the inmates housed at the facility will be medium security inmates. The federal Bureau of Prisons has said the facility will house about 1,150 medium security male inmates.

But there will also be approximately 128 minimum security inmates housed in a separate work camp. At a Northern N.H. Talent Team meeting last Thursday attended by U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Prison Warden Deborah Schult said the minimum security inmates will arrive first in August. The warden said

she expects the medium security inmates will start arriving by the end of this year or the beginning of 2013.

Schult said there are about 30 people employed now at the prison, mostly department heads. By August when the minimum inmates arrive, Schult said she expects to have about half of her total staff of 341 hired. Sixty percent of those employed at the prison will be new employees with the rest transferring to Berlin from other prisons.

Schult thanked Shaheen for her efforts in the U.S. Senate last fall to authorize funding to open the $276 million prison.

application workshops

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN - If you are interested in a job in the federal prison, the time is now to enroll in a free workshop designed to help applicants properly fill out their federal application.

The Northern N.H. Talent Team is running three separate application workshops this month. Diana Nelson, of N.H. Employment Security and a member of the talent team, said future funding for the team has not been confirmed. She said anyone considering working at the prison should sign up for one of the three workshops.

“Do it now” she urged. “Anyone with an interest in applying or working at the federal prison would be wise to enroll in a workshop because this is not your everyday resume that would be used in the typical job market. This resume will be graded by a computer before it ever sees a human eye” To apply for a position in the federal prison, applicants must fill out an on-line application on the government website usajobs.gov.

Comedy timing is bad as news, film collide

LOS ANGELES (NY Times) — In recent weeks executives at 20th Century Fox have been quietly scrambling to distance a summer comedy, “Neighborhood Watch,” from the shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, was killed on Feb. 26 by George Zimmerman, a community watch participant in Sanford, Fla., who has said he acted in selfdefense and has not been charged with a crime.

In a phased withdrawal that began late last month Fox pre-emptively withdrew its trailers and advertising materials for the movie, which features Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade as four suburban watch members who save their neighborhood, and the world, from an invasion by space aliens. But the studio and its filmmaking team are now left to wonder whether a news-media storm and a ferocious public debate over the shooting and its possible legal consequences have spoiled the fun of a movie that cost over $50 million to make and will cost millions more to market.

In a statement following the cancellation of the trailer Fox extended sympathy to those touched by the Martin shooting, and said, “Our film is a broad alien invasion comedy and bears absolutely no relation to the tragic events in Florida.”

Obama to make case for ‘Buffett Rule’ Court allows (NY Times) — President Obama is taking his argument in favor of a 30 percent minimum tax on millionaires to Florida, where he will tell students at Florida Atlantic University on Tuesday afternoon that “in this country, prosperity has never trickled down from a wealthy few.”

In excerpts of his speech released in advance, he says that fairness demands that the richest Americans be taxed at least as much as the upper middle class normally pay, so that the money can go to programs that he says benefit society at large.

“These investments -- in things like education and research and health care — haven’t been made as part of some scheme to redistribute wealth from one group to another,” he argues.

As the White House and its Democratic allies in Congress escalated their push on a defining issue in the coming elections, Obama’s economic team released a brief report making the case for his “Buffett Rule,” a proposal that would ensure the wealthiest Americans pay at least 30 percent of their income in federal taxes.

The proposed minimum rate for those with incomes exceeding $1 million annually, which is based on an idea from the billionaire investor Warren E. Buffett, would restore some fairness to the federal tax code and reduce economically inefficient gaming of the system, according to the report from the White House National Economic Council.

Wall Street follows Europe down sharply (NY Times) — Wall Street was unable to shake off the doldrums as stocks notched their fifth consecutive decline Tuesday, fueled by concerns over the euro zone.

The Standard & Poor’s 500stock index closed off 1.6 percent, for its biggest percentage drop and longest losing streak this year. Still, it was not as deep as the day’s descent in Europe, where indexes fell 3 percent.

The Dow Jones industrial average, which fell more than

130 points on Monday in its worst drop since March 6, closed down more than 200 points, or 1.7 percent, and the Nasdaq composite index was down 1.8 percent.

Tuesday was the first opportunity for European markets, which were closed on Monday, to respond to last week’s data on the struggling United States jobs sector.

But Europe also declined on concern over Spanish credit

strength. On Tuesday, Spain’s borrowing costs rose to levels not seen since early January, raising concern that the financial crisis in Europe was heating up again after a lull.

European financial stocks took a beating, falling 4.6 percent, as the Euro Stoxx 50 index of euro zone blue chips closed down nearly 3 percent. The CAC 40 index in Paris was down 3.1 percent and the DAX in Germany closed 2.5 percent lower.

Britain to send five to U.S. on terror charges

LONDON (NY Times) — The European Court of Human Rights ruled on Tuesday that Britain could legally extradite five suspects wanted in the United States on terrorism charges, including Abu Hamza al-Masri, an inflammatory Egyptian-born cleric incarcerated in Britain but accused in a range of unprosecuted anti-American plots that date back 14 years.

In a major precedent that appeared to greatly ease extradition of terrorism suspects — an issue that has surfaced repeatedly since Britain and the United States agreed to a new, more flexible extradition treaty after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks — the court ruled that the human rights of the defendants would not be violated by their incarceration in a maximum security American prison.

Some legal experts called the ruling stunning, considering the court’s history of wariness on the human rights standards of American justice.

Inmates back in cells after uprising

BY MADDIE HANNA THE CONCORD MONITOR

The maximum-security inmates who barricaded the stairs to their unit at the Merrimack County jail this morning have voluntarily returned to their cells, officials said.

The jail will remain in lockdown, however, “until the situation is cleared,” said John Vinson, staff attorney for the county Department of Corrections. No one was injured during the incident, he said.

Officials are now trying to assess the damage inflicted during the uprising, which Vinson said began at about 8:15 this morning after 12 to 14 maximumsecurity inmates objected to cleaning their unit. The inmates, who were told they would lose their television privi-

leges if they didn’t clean the second-tier unit, refused to lock down in their cells and started throwing paper, prompting officers to leave the tier, Vinson said.

By 9 or 9:30, the inmates had barricaded the stairs to their unit with sheets and chairs, wetting the area with soap and water to make it difficult for the jail’s Special Emergency Response Team to climb the steps, Vinson said.

They also destroyed televisions and sprinkler heads, he said.

The inmates went back into their cells around 11, Vinson said. While the lockdown was still in effect this afternoon, Vinson said he expected it would be lifted by the end of the day.

Officials will review video to determine who was responsible for the damage, Vinson said. He didn’t know what repercussions the inmates involved might face.

Man accused of driving drunk twice in three hours

MERRIMACK — A Merrimack man was charged with operating under the influence twice in about three hours after driving into mailboxes Friday, police said.

Police first received a report of an erratic vehicle at 3:30 p.m. when an Elm Street resident flagged down an officer and said a vehicle struck the resident’s mailbox. Police searched the area and spotted a damaged vehicle in the area that matched the description given by witnesses. Police pulled over Jeffrey Graham in the parking lot of a business on Daniel Webster Highway.

The officer said Graham showed signs of impairment, and he was arrested and charged with operating under the influence of liquor and conduct after an accident, police said.

Graham was later taken to a hospital.

“At some point, he was released by the hospital and went to the tow com-

pany and was able to have his vehicle released to him,” said Capt. Peter Albert.

About three hours later, police responded to another report of a driver who struck a mailbox and also a fence.

“The operator was then seen passing through the area, and an officer was able to stop the vehicle, and it turned out to be one and the same -Mr. Graham — operating the same vehicle with a flat tire,” Albert said.

Officers said they noticed signs of impairment. Graham was charged with OUIL second offense, conduct after an accident and breach of bail conditions.

Police said his license is not suspended, but he will be in court next month.

Graham declined to go on camera when News 9 spoke to him at his home.

Graham is scheduled to appear in court in May. —Courtesy of WMUR

No immediate decision from Senate panel on refugee-resettlement bill

BY GARRY RAYNO THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — The Senate Public and Municipal Affairs Committee will not be making an immediate decision on a bill that would allow communities to impose up to a year moratorium on refugee-resettlement programs.

Committee chair Sen. Jack Barnes, R-Raymond, urged the resettlement agencies to work with Manchester officials to foster better communications, which he hinted could mean the

bill would not be needed.

House Bill 1405 passed the House on a 190-109 vote last month.

Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas told the committee, “We’re not looking for a freeze on resettlement, we just want to allow the people here to be successful in our society.”

But several refugees urged the committee to kill the bill during the twohour public hearing, saying they just want a chance to be successful. The committee is expected to make its recommendation on the bill next week.

Fugitive arrested after foot chase in Manchester MANCHESTER — A fugitive was arrested in Manchester on Tuesday morning after trying to escape by running on the roofs of homes, police said.

Lionel Cole, 25, was arrested at gunpoint after the chase on Massabesic Street, according to police.

“I understand they went over my roof and they caught him in (my neighbor’s) yard, in the front yard, and they cuffed him,” said Barbara Houde, of Manchester.

Police said Cole was inside a car with his 4-year-old child and another man when police tried to take him into custody. He took off on foot, trying to outrun police and U.S. marshals, police said.

“He climbed up on the roof, went across the garage roof and jumped off,” said resident Jim Ringenwald.

“The cops were out there with guns drawn, and he just kept running. They came around the corner, I came out over here, and there were six police-

men that tackled him and handcuffed him. I have no idea what he did.”

A warrant was issued for Cole in September for possession with intent to distribute oxycodone and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.

Cole was considered armed and dangerous and was featured in WMUR. com’s Most Wanted Wednesday. Police said the media attention prompted dozens of tips about Cole being seen in a blue car, so police set up surveillance.

“The tips came into Manchester today that he would be down there,” said U.S. Marshal David Cargill. “He was spotted in that vehicle in and around Spruce Street.”

The man found with Cole was not considered a suspect and is not facing any charges.

Cole was arraigned on fugitive charges Tuesday afternoon.

One ejected in rollover crash on I-89 CONCORD — Two people were taken to a hospital after a rollover crash that shut down Interstate 89 northbound in Concord on Tuesday morning.

State police said Christopher Richard, 31, of Antrim, was ejected from his 2005 Subaru Baja and ended up in the middle of the interstate. Police said a passing dump truck driver may have helped save Richard by blocking traffic.

“I watched a car come across the roadway, flip over and eject a guy on the roadway,” said driver Lenny Hall.

Hall then called 911 and used his dump truck to make sure Richard didn’t suffer further injury.

“I just grabbed my phone, dialed 911 and put my foot on the brakes,” he said. “I tried to stop and make sure that nobody else was going to run over the guy who was lying in the middle of the road.”

The road was closed near exit 2 for less than two hours, and state police forced cars on the northbound side to turn around and drive south to clear the area. Traffic was also backed up

for about three miles on the southbound side.

Police said both vehicles involved in the crash were traveling south when Richard’s car drifted into the guardrail and then struck a silver car traveling in the passing lane.

“Both vehicles went into our center median strip here,” said Lt. Mark Armaganian. “The black Subaru actually went onto its roof and spun as it went into the northbound lane.”

Armaganian said Hall’s actions helped protect Richard.

If it wasn’t for a 10-wheel dump truck in the northbound lane actually blocking traffic, this situation could have been a lot worse than it actually was,” he said.

All lanes had been reopened by 10 a.m., according to state police.

The two victims were taken to Concord Hospital. Richard had serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police are investigating driver fatigue as a possible factor.

We need to vote Obama out of office To the editor: Barack Hussein Obama was just on television (CNN) promising the world to women. He states that as long as he is president he will be there for the women of this country. Then at the end of his speech he asks God to Bless America. He is doing all he can to get the women of this country to vote for him no matter how immoral these promises are. After all of his lies and deception, attacks on religious institutions, and promoting the funding of abortion, at the end of his speech he asked God to Bless America. What a hypocrite!

Unborn children can’t vote so we will have to vote for them and vote this man out of office. It is very obvious how God feels about our behavior in this country. It is

being showered from Heaven with tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, joblessness, economic chaos, and etc.

Falling into sin out of weakness is one thing but backing premeditated murder is another. This man’s God isn’t the God who came down from Heaven and died on the cross to obtain for us eternal life with Him in Heaven.

This man’s father isn’t Jesus Christ, the lover of children.

This man’s father, is the promoter of the culture of death, the devil. Someday, the devil will say to him “I am your father and before me you will kneel’.

So it will be for all those who stand behind this promoter of the culture of death.

This is the truth, and you can count on it.

Guest Column

The Affordable Care Act Will Keep Women Safe And Healthy Lost in a national political debate from the past few weeks was an important announcement concerning women’s health care. On January 20, as part of the Affordable Care Act, President Obama’s administration announced that most health insurance plans will be required to cover women’s preventive health services, including contraception, without charging a co-pay or deductible beginning in August 2012. Under this policy, women who want contraception will have access to it through their insurance without paying out of pocket costs.

This is an important step forward for providing health choices for women. In addition to birth control, some contraceptive methods help prevent and treat some health conditions that may affect women. In fact, women who use (which ones?) contraception reduce their risk of developing ovarian and endometrial cancers. (Data source please) For many women, contraception costs start between $30 and $50 a month and increase from there. With the Affordable Care Act, some women could save up to $600 a year or more. Without this critical insurance coverage, contraception costs can often be prohibitive and make it nearly impossible especially for young women to afford.

Thirty years ago, before women had affordable and reliable access to contraception,Coos County had a teen pregnancy rate of nearly 20 percent, almost one out of every five girls had a child of her own before turning 20 years old. It was a cause for community wide concern, as teen mothers have a higher rate of complications during pregnancy and birth and Coos had the highest rate of infant mortality, neonatal mortality and low birth weight babies in the state..

At the time, I had just started the Coos County Family Planning and Education Center to increase access to birth control for women in the North Country. This pro-

gram was supported by the new federal Family Planning Program (Title X) that was started in 1969 and came with a mandate to have family planning services available in every county in the US. The legislation was designed to “provide adequate Family Planning services within the next five years for all who want them but cannot afford them.

“This landmark legislation was promoted and signed into law by President Richard Nixon.

Funding for Title X increased every year until 2010 and 2011 when the allocation was cut by Congress with further cuts projected for this budget year. The Affordable Care Act is taking a step towards addressing this cutback and preserving access to contraception and basic health care for women. It is alarming to me to see contraception and women’s health care become part of an ideological battle that could turn the progress made in women’s health back 30 years.For me, the fundamental issue has not changed.

At stake are critical preventative health care services for New Hampshire women.

Organizations like the American Medical Association and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists support the goal that all women should have regular access to reproductive health services and safe, effective contraception.

The bottom line is President Obama is standing up for American women. The Affordable Care Act and the President’s decision to require health insurance providers to cover reproductive health services and contraception, demonstrates his commitment to women’s health and his support for fair and equal access to necessary, safe and effective health services for all women. The Affordable Care Act will keep women safe and healthy as it supports the vital role that contraception plays in the overall all health of women in this country.

The Two Economies

The creative dynamism of American business is astounding and a little terrifying. Over the past five years, amid turmoil and uncertainty, American businesses have shed employees, becoming more efficient and more productive. According to The Wall Street Journal on Monday, the revenue per employee at S.&P. 500 companies increased from $378,000 in 2007 to $420,000 in 2011.

These efficiency gains are boosting the American economy overall and American exports in particular. Two years ago, President Obama promised to double exports over the next five years. The U.S. might actually meet that target.

As Tyler Cowen reports in a fantastic article in The American Interest called “What Export-

Oriented America Means,” American exports are surging.

Cowen argues that America’s export strength will only build in the years ahead. He points to three trends that will boost the nation’s economic performance. First, smart machines.

China and other low-wage countries have a huge advantage when factory floors are crowded with workers. But we are moving to an age of quiet factories, with more robots and better software. That reduces the importance of wage rates. It boosts American companies that make software and smart machines.

Then there is the shale oil and gas revolution.

pioneered in the United States, has given us access to vast amounts of U.S. energy that can be sold abroad. Europe and Asian nations have much less capacity. As long as fracking can be done responsibly, U.S. exports should surge.

Finally, there is the growth of the global middle class. When China, India and such places were first climbing the income ladder, they imported a lot of raw materials from places like Canada, Australia and Chile to fuel the early stages of their economic growth. But, in the coming decades, as their consumers get richer, they will be importing more pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, planes and entertainment, important American products.

If Cowen’s case is right, the U.S. is not a nation in decline. We may be in the early days of an export boom that will eventually power an economic revival, including a manufacturing revival. But, as Cowen emphasizes, this does not mean nirvana is at hand.

His work leaves the impression that there are two interrelated American economies. On the one hand, there is the globalized tradable sector — companies that have to compete with everybody everywhere. These companies, with the sword of foreign competition hanging over them, have become relentlessly dynamic and very (sometimes brutally) efficient.

On the other hand, there is a large sector of the economy that does not face this global competition — health care, education and government. Leaders in this economy try to improve productivity and use new technologies, but they are not compelled by do-or-die pressure, and their pace of change is slower.

A rift is opening up. The first, globalized sector is producing a lot of the productivity gains, but it is not producing a lot of the jobs.

The second more protected sector is producing more jobs, but not as many productivity gains. The

hypercompetitive globalized economy generates enormous profits, while the second, less tradable economy is where more Americans actually live.

In politics, we are beginning to see conflicts between those who live in Economy I and those who live in Economy II. Republicans often live in and love the efficient globalized sector and believe it should be a model for the entire society. They want to use private health care markets and choice-oriented education reforms to make society as dynamic, creative and efficient as Economy I. Democrats are more likely to live in and respect the values of the second sector. They emphasize the destructive side of Economy I streamlining — the huge profits at the top and the stagnant wages at the middle. They want to tamp down some of the streamlining in the global economy sector and protect health care, education and government from its remorseless logic.

Republicans believe the globalized sector is racing far out in front of government, adapting in ways inevitable and proper. If given enough freedom, Economy I entrepreneurs will create the future jobs we need. Government should prepare people to enter that sector but get out of its way as much as possible.

Democrats are more optimistic that government can enhance the productivity of the global sectors of the economy while redirecting their benefits. They want to use Economy I to subsidize Economy II. I don’t know which coalition will gain the upper hand. But I do think today’s arguments are rooted in growing structural rifts. There’s an urgent need to understand the interplay between the two different sectors.

I’d also add that it’s not always easy to be in one of those pockets — including the media and higher education — that are making the bumpy transition from Economy II to Economy I.

Ten thousandth hiker completes White Mountain 4000-footer quest PINKHAM NOTCH -- In February, the AMC White Mountain Four Thousand Footer Club welcomed its ten-thousandth member. The club was formed in 1957 by members of Appalachian Mountain Club to encourage hikers to explore some of the less well-known sections of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, with the hope that the experience would encourage members to work for the preservation and wise use of all of our wild country.

The AMC Four Thousand Footer Committee, which is composed entirely of club volunteers, currently receives and processes 300-350 applications for the White Mountain Four Thousand Footer Club each year, with over a hundred more coming in for the other recognized lists, which include the New England Four Thousand Footers and the New England Hundred Highest, or the special recognition given to those who climb the peaks in winter. According to Eric Savage, chair of the Four Thousand Footer Committee,

The New England Four Thousand Footer Club also welcomed its two-thousand, five-hundredth member this year.

“By keeping operating expenses low and with the generous donations of our members above and beyond their application fees, the Committee has been able to donate over $50,000 to trail work and mountain stewardship over the last six years,” added Savage. Among the notable projects recently supported by these contributions was a new bridge along the Appalachian Trail over the Saco River in Crawford Notch, and the replacement of dozens of bog bridges on several trails throughout the Whites.

The Four Thousand Footer Club will celebrate the achievements of this year’s new members at its annual reunion and awards night on April 14 at the Cooperative Middle School in Stratham, New Hampshire. The event is open to family, friends and anyone else interested in celebrating these hiking accomplishments.

Berlin schools just miss on AYP, reading scores improved

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — The good news is that overall the Berlin schools have improved their standardized test scores enough in reading that every school made overall Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in that subject. The bad news is that because two subsets of students — the economically disadvantaged and the those with educational disabilities — did not make enough gains, the district won’t get credit for it towards removing itself from the list of state designated Districts In Need of Improvement (DINI).

On April 3, the State Department of Education released the AYP status for all districts for 2012-13. Of the 161 school districts in the state only 54, one third, made AYP in both reading and math. Gorham Randolph Shelburne Cooperative School district is among the 54 who hit the mark.

In order to exit the DINI designation a district has to make AYP for two consecutive years and 99 school districts statewide are still designated as DINI in either reading or math or both. Three districts did not get an AYP determination because they are too small to be measured under the same criteria. School districts that fail to make AYP in either subject area in both the elementary/middle school and high school level for two consecutive years are given the DINI designation.

Berlin is in its fourth year as a DINI, which means it has been six years since they hit their AYP mark, but has made great gains in its reading achievement said Superintendent Corinne Cascadden. This year’s reading scores on the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) tests earned three of the four city schools AYP in reading.

Brown School, Berlin Junior High and Berlin High School all scored well enough overall to reach AYP. Where the district fell short was in the subgroup measurements that must also be met for the district as a whole to get the AYP designation. “It varies in the subgroups,” Cascadden explained.

This left both the elementary/middle school level and high school level results just short.

Brown School, whose K-2 curriculum is tested at the third grade level once the students get to Hillside, performed especially well, making AYP in both subject areas, reading and math.

They were also the only school to have the economically disadvantaged subgroup also score high enough to make AYP. The educationally disabled subgroup did not reach the same heights, however, and as a result the goal was just out of reach. The opposite was true at Hillside, where the educationally disabled subgroup made AYP, but the school did not make overall AYP in either subject, nor did the economically disadvantaged subgroup.

All four of Berlin’s schools are listed as Schools In Need of Improvement (SINI).

Though Berlin did not hit the mark exactly, Cascadden said that it’s important to hold on to the successes.

All four schools and the district have been operating under improvement plans, and she said, they have contributed to student achievement on the state tests.

Adequate Yearly Progress is a construct of the federal No Child Left Behind legislation and is meant to measure the performance of public schools based on standardized testing.

The legislation sets a goal of 100 percent student proficiency in the tested areas of reading and math by 2014.

Royal River Philharmonic Band

Swing into spring with the Royal River Philharmonic Band BERLIN - St. Kieran Arts Center swings into spring with the Royal River Philharmonic Jazz Band on Sunday, April 15, at 2 p.m. The sixmember ensemble brings the best of New Orleans Dixieland Jazz to the stage in this upbeat, dazzling and entertaining performance. Admission is $12 for adults/$6 for students or by St. Kieran Arts Season Tickets.

“We are excited to have Royal River back on our stage! What great musicians and great entertainers. Expect nothing but sparkling brass instruments, excellent piano playing and high energy from these master performers. I can’t wait!”, said Arts Center Director Joan Chamberlain.

Royal River Jazz performs traditional “two-beat” New Orleans Dixieland Music in the style of the great New Orleans Jazz bands which always performed for a wide variety of events ranging from births to funerals and in locations ranging from concert halls and churches to bar rooms and bordellos. The group has been officially organized since 1975 and has perfected a wide repertoire of music comprised of marches, two-steps, blues, swing, ballads, comedy tunes, religious songs and novelty numbers.

Based in the Greater Portland Maine area, the Royal River Jazz Band has entertained New England audiences for over 30 years, featuring the important elements of good jazz: improvisation and swing. Its arrangements of the great tunes from the traditional jazz repertoire feature finely-crafted ensemble work with plenty of room for solos and collective improvisation.

Its swing is born of six lifetimes

devoted to exploring the intricacies of Dixieland Jazz and having fun in the process.

Band members include Eric Anderson on tuba, Dave Langezettell on cornet, William Rayne on trombone, Bob Pillsbury on clarinet, Jeff Grosser on banjo, and Olin Sawyer on piano. All individually popular musicians, most members also play in a variety of other bands, small combo groups, and community and dance bands dedicated to keeping the best of Jazz alive and growing.

“We are excited to have Royal River back on our stage! What great musicians and great entertainers.

Expect nothing but sparkling brass instruments, excellent piano playing and high energy from these master performers. I can’t wait!”, said Arts Center Director Joan Chamberlain.

This program is made possible by local business sponsors, Tremaine Opticians and Passumpsic Savings Bank, and with the support of the NH State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation/North Country Region.

Upcoming performances in Spring Series include Mango Groove Steel Drum Band on Earth Day, Sunday, April 22 at 2 p.m., Sounds of the Seacoast, May 6; Raz de Maree, top Quebeqois Band, May 14; Todd Wellington: The King of Silly for the children on June 2; RP Hale, Master Harpsicordist, June 10; and Justin McKinney, Top Comedian on June 21. Tickets are $12 and are available at the door on the day of the performances.

tains Community College and Mark Belanger of N.H. Employment Security outlined the work the talent team has done to maximize the economic benefits of the prison to the local region. The talent team has worked to prepare local people to apply for jobs and local businesses to compete to supple the facility with goods and services.

Dyer said the talent team has hosted more than 30 information sessions including 11 application workshops with four more scheduled this month. He said 77 people have gone through the application process so far.

In conjunction with the application workshops, the Family Resource Center has been running an applicant background investigation drill (ABID) workshop that helps applicants clean up their credit rating and address any other issues they may have.

David Pease, of the N.H. Procurement Technical Assistance Program, said his program began working four years ago with local businesses to

get them certified to bid on federal contracts. He said in the last six months, efforts have intensified with a dozen sessions scheduled over the next 11 weeks. For a time, he had a staff member working two days at week at the college but said that person is leaving for other employment. Pease said his program is actively working with 85 companies in Coos County.

While there is not a lot of dollars flowing from the federal government to local businesses yet, there is hope that will increase as the prison continues to move towards

opening.

Russell Ramsey of Coulombe Real Estate said his agency has almost two dozen sales pending to people buying homes because they are moving to the area to work in the prison. He said he is finding those moving here are coming because they want to be here and are looking forward to living in the White Mountains.

While not specific about location, Ramsey said the prison employees want to be with a short distance of the prison along what he called the Route 16 corridor. He described

them as well prepared and knowledgeable about the area.

“They’re buying houses,” he said.

Patricia Couture, chief operating officer at the Coos Family Health Center, said they are starting to see new families at the health center as employees move into the area for jobs at the prison.

Shaheen called the work of the talent team impressive and Mayor Paul Grenier echoed her sentiments.

Grenier said the opening of the prison couldn’t have come at a more opportune time for the region.

respectfully known as the "The Flying Frenchman," disbanded in 1972. They attempted a comeback from 1975 to 1979, but never saw the greatness that they once had.

The Flying Frenchman won seven New England championships in 1941, 48, 49, 51, 54, 67, and 68. They also garnered three national senior A titles in 1954, 1967, and 1968.

As a result of this and the fact that the local high schools had won 21 consecutive state titles from 1947 to 1968, Berlin, NH was known as Hockey Town USA. The Berlin Maroons were so well respected that the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, and the 1960 US Olympic team scrimmaged against them.

The Berlin Maroons had many players who are now enshrined in the NH Legends Of Hockey Hall of Fame, such as Al Adams, Barney Laroche (over 400 goals scored), DeDe Villeneuve, Leo Vaillancourt among many others who are listed on the banner at the rear of the NotreDame Arena.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis of information adds to the magnetic appeal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In order to communicate well, your attention has to be on the conversation. Part of you doesn’t want to communicate at all.

You’d rather quietly work on your projects and see what comes of that.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you’re questioning your lifestyle or the very nature of your existence, you’re not alone. Profound questions will come to mind for many Sagittarians now, and the answers to these questions are surprisingly simple!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A meeting goes other than planned. Could you have played the situation another way in order to get the response of your dreams? Likely not. So don’t take it personally. Think of what you learned as neutral information.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone is thinking of you and trying to figure out how to get to you. Maybe this person is already in contact with you, technically speaking, but is far from being able to reach your heart and soul.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A super-smart someone will help you with a problem you’ve been having. Finally, you’ll be able to move past this and on to a project that’s been on the back burner for what has felt like an eternity.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 11). You’ll explore your talents and make money with them this year. Attractions develop through the next six weeks. There’s something you dearly desire, which leads you to approach life with a more passionate level of intensity in August and September. November is your chance to heal a family relationship. Virgo and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 35, 49 and 19.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t have to wait for a wish to be granted in order to be thankful for it. You’ll issue thanks in advance whenever possible, letting others know that you’re already happy and expect to be even more so.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Whether it’s a casual connection or a solid friendship, it would be unwise to base the relationship on what you want to happen. If what is already happening isn’t so great, this is a good time to chalk it up to experience and move on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are so imaginative that it will be important not to let your imagination roam into dark places. Why scare yourself? Breathing techniques, music and humor can all be used to keep your mind reaching for the light.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Trust your free associations, first impressions and immediate gut responses. People will try to override those initial feelings.

Take note of what you thought before you thought what they wanted you to think.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Fear of travel, or hodophobia, is so common that even the most adventurous have experienced it to some degree. Fearful or not, you have much to gain by leaving the safety of familiar faces.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re not the same person you were. However, the seeds of who you are now were always inside you; you grew them. And different seeds are inside you now. It’s an ideal time to add water and stand back to see what happens.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your ability to concentrate grows stronger when you’re extremely interested in your subject matter -- and your excitement grows right along with it. Each new piece

COMMENTS ON HER HAIR COLOR MAKE WILD CHILD FEEL BLUE

DEAR ABBY: What’s the best thing to do when someone insults me for being myself? My hair has been bright blue for the last two semesters of college. I like it. I’m young, and my family is letting me express my “wild” side while I’m in school.

Six months ago I went to meet my ex-boyfriend’s mother, and the first thing she said to me was, “You’re one of my son’s phases, right? Boys don’t actually bring girls with blue hair home to Mama.” Abby, it was with my ex’s encouragement that I dyed my hair this bright color.

My family, my church and most of my teachers think it’s OK. Is there a social stigma attached to exotically dyed hair? And what’s the best way to react when someone insults me for just being myself? -- NICE PERSON IN WALLAND, TENN. DEAR NICE PERSON: Whether there’s a stigma attached to looking different depends on who is doing the looking.

Some people -- your ex-boyfriend’s mother, for instance -find it off-putting. Did you tell her that it was with her son’s encouragement that you dyed your hair blue? It would have been interesting to see her reaction. It would also be interesting to know what shade his current girlfriend’s hair is.

When others comment about the unusual color of your hair, instead of treating it as an insult, smile and say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Then change the subject.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for 26 years. I love him, but he’s a terrible listener. He’s not that way with everyone. When we’re out socializing, he’s a good conversationalist and a polite listener. It’s when we are home that he never lets me finish a sentence. When we’re alone, I

can’t express a complete opinion or thought without being interrupted halfway through a word or sentence. He just cuts me off and starts talking on the subject.

I’m an intelligent woman with valid opinions, but he would rather hear the sound of his own voice than mine. How do I get him to let me speak and not interrupt? -- SILENCED IN ILLINOIS DEAR SILENCED: Is your husband controlling in other aspects of your relationship? If not, the problem may be that you have been together so long he thinks he knows where your sentences are going, so he responds before you complete your entire thought. One way to handle this would be to tell your husband how patronized it makes you feel when he does it. Another would be to interrupt HIM by saying, “Excuse me!

I wasn’t finished talking.” Or, “You finished my sentence, but that wasn’t what I was going to say. What I meant was ...”

DEAR ABBY: My sister, “Beth,” and I are very close, but a constant source of contention is her boyfriend, “Brody.” Beth and Brody have broken up several times, and each time it happens, she fills me in on every horrible thing he has ever done.

They always seem to get back together, and then Beth expects me to like him despite everything I know. Does the fact that she forgives and forgets mean that I have to do the same?

-- TOO MUCH INFO IN OHIO DEAR TOO MUCH INFO: No, it doesn’t. But you should be civil, even if you’re not warm and friendly. Then cross your fingers and hope your sister recognizes less drama is healthier and the relationship ends soon.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Wednesday, April 11, 2012— Page 13

PINK-SLIP from page one

$450,000 increase in the school budget.

That would give the school department a general fund budget of about $16.7 million.

School board Chair Nicole Plourde and Superintendent of Schools Corinne Cascadden Monday night revealed the board has made some changes in its budget since it met with the council last month. The two said the district is now looking at hiring four additional teachers.

With class sizes in the middle school already at or close to the legal limit of 30 students, the district is facing hiring four new teachers there to handle the additional students expected because of the opening of the federal prison.

Originally, the budget requested four new middle school teachers and a special education teacher. Cascadden said the administration revisited the issue after the March meeting, and decided to move two teachers from the high school

to the middle school. But in the meantime, enrollment has increased at Brown Elementary School with eight new students last week alone. The district now anticipates needing a new elementary teacher.

So the district is proposing hiring two new middle school teachers, a new elementary teacher, and an additional special education teacher.

Cascadden said the district has managed to cut $13,000 from its operating budget request. The school board did not present a revised budget request to the council. But Plourde said the board proposed that the council focus on funding its staffing needs and put off capital needs if funding is limited. She said the board has agreed to do what it can to increase its end-of-the-year surplus.

Councilor Russell Otis asked about using the state Virtual Learning Academy Charter School which is available free to all New Hampshire students. He

suggested the academy could be used for courses that attract few students, allowing the district to reduce teachers.

Councilor Lucie Remillard said some of the district’s advanced courses could be offered on-line. Cascadden said the district is looking at virtual learning but pointed out it is not an option for all students.

Grenier said the mayor and council want to work with the school board to find a budget that is acceptable to both.

He said the school system is the signature of the community.

“It is not my intention to gut the school system at all,” he said.

Plourde said people who visit the school system are impressed with what Berlin offers and said the board and administration run it on a shoestring.

She thanked the council and said the board understands the economic position of the city.

She said the board voted at its meeting last week not to pink slip any teach-

ers. The district must notified teachers

by April 15 if it does not intend to renew their contract for another year.

After five years without a tax increase, Grenier said he does not believe the city can escape one this coming fiscal year.

He said he is hoping to limit any increase to about 95 cents.

He noted that new figures developed

by City Manager Patrick MacQueen as a result of the budget discussions reduce the projected tax increase from $4.43 to $3.62. That figure does not include any lay-offs of city staff. Much of the decrease is attributed to extending the interest and principal payments for the Capital Improvement Bond the city took out five years ago.

Grenier said he has urged all city departments, including the police and school departments, to come in with as much end-of-the-year surplus as possible. He said that will help the council avoid drastic cuts to get to an acceptable tax rate.

Tibbetts, Burril united in marriage BERLIN -- Joy Elizabeth Tibbetts, daughter of Pauline and Moe ‘Mozes’ Tibbetts, became the bride of Jeff Burrill, son of Liza Burrill of Milan and Bob Burrill of Gorham, on July 16, 2011 at St. Anne’s Church in Berlin. The date was chosen to coincide with her memere Elizabeth Adams’ wedding date of July 15.

The ceremony was performed by Fr. Marcel Martel, who is now pastor in Littleton. Joy was escorted to the altar by her father. Readings were done by Michael Giroux, Joy’s cousin and Stephanie Burrill, Jeff’s cousin. The organist was the late, Linda Levesque and singer was Denise Doucette. The bride’s dress was her late grandmothers, Pauline Tibbetts, wedding dress of 1951. The dress having been worn in the winter was altered to be made into a modern and comfortable wedding gown for the summer occasion

by Tanya Leveille. The dress is made of elegant 100 percent satin with embellished bead work at the neck line.

The satin, beading and buttons that were removed were used to make spaghetti straps for the gown, a lace corset in the back with some original buttons remaining, and the beading was placed on the handmade veil along with some of the satin buttons. The dress has a smooth bodice to the waist and flowing to the ground with an attached train extending out several feet.

The bride’s jewelry was a pearl necklace, bracelet and earrings borrowed from the groom’s grandmother, Shirley Lessard. The bride’s bouquet was made up of an array of sunset colors that consisted of a yellow rose center, which was similar to that of the groom’s grandmother, Marge Burrill’s bouquet on her wedding day in 1950. The outer layering colors were made up of spirit roses, red spray roses, purple alstros, tracheliums, and baby’s breath. The bouquet included dangling charms holding the pictures of, Omer Adams, Pauline Tibbetts and Zane’Zeke’ Tibbetts, to memorialize the presence in spirit of the bride’s late grandparents.

The Maid of Honor was Jen Perry, college friend and bridesmaids were, Jessica Adams, bride’s cousin; Jessica Caron, high school friend; Krystal Roy, friend of the bride and groom; Nikki Miller, college friend, and Jen Hudson, friend of the bride.

Coös County Attorney office warns seniors of scam LANCASTER -- The County Attorney’s Office has been made aware of unscrupulous business practices that may be occurring between certain traders and elderly folks in the Berlin area.

Specifically, an individual may be encouraging widowed, elderly women

who are in possession of valuable property, including vintage guitars and other antiques, to unwittingly sell their property for far below the property’s market value. Property owners are encouraged to contact trusted experts or appraisers prior to agreeing to sell such property.

The Cash Mob Craze comes to Sweet Mamas Bakery in Berlin BERLIN -- Berlin will join the cash mob craze sweeping the nation on Saturday, April 14, at 11a.m. Cash Mobbers will meet at Sweet Mamas Bakery, 715 Main St. in Berlin to show their support for a new local business and build community connections. Sweet Mamas is giving tastes of delicious confections at the door including cake pops, whoopie pies and more. Mobbers are encouraged to come celebrate this new local business and support Sweet Mamas with a purchase that fits their budget.

Cash Mobs are a new movement aimed at supporting local businesses and building community. A Cash Mob is a Flash Mob, but instead of singing, dancing or rioting, Cash Mobbers join together and use their dollars to support a local business.

“A cash mob is a great way to check out a brand new Main Street business and show support for our local economy by spending dollars that will re-circulate back to other local businesses,” says Pam Laflamme.

“This type of event reminds us of the great local talent we have here in our

community and how important it is to support it if we want to have these kinds of businesses in Berlin. When we do surveys about what Main Street is missing, a bakery is almost always near the top of the list. We are lucky to have Sweet Mamas which already has a strong following.”

Sweet Mamas bakery was chosen for the first Berlin cash mob because of the rich and inspiring history behind their business. Sweet Mamas owners, Heather Marquis and her mother Pam Jesseman, started this business in Heather’s kitchen, selling baked goods at the WREN (Women’s Rural Entrepreneurial Network) Farmers Market in Berlin.

Soon the community was hooked on Sweet Mamas tasty treats and Heather and her mother needed a larger space. The bakery opened to the public March 28, and has kept busy since opening day. Sweet Mamas is open Wednesday through Saturday.

Planners of this event look forward to connecting with other area businesses for future cash mobs.
