Patriarch Papers tours Cascade mill BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM – Lynn Tilton, CEO of Patriarch Partners, said she expects to reach a deal to buy the Cascade mill by Monday. “Hopefully we will be able to agree to a deal by Monday,” said she said yesterday afternoon, after touring the facility and meeting with state, local, and union officials. Tilton said she was impressed with the people she met and believes they understand what it will take to get the mill on track. “I need a group of people who will stand shoulder to

shoulder with me to rebuild value in this town. I was impressed with the team and with the union and I don’t think anything will stand in the way of us trying to get this deal done,” she said. Local and state officials were equally impressed with Tilton. “I am very optimistic,” said Gorham Town Manager Robin Forest. “For her it seems all about putting people back to work.” Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier described yesterday meeting as productive and said her people were knowledgesee PATRIARCH page 27

Coos county explores concept of community forest BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

Laura Viger, who was awarded the Sylvia Evans Citizenship Award Friday at the White Mountain Community College, sits with the silver award tray in her hands, flanked by (l -r) Alyssa Kinney, of BHS, and Sarah Kinney, of GHS (no relation), both of whom won the Young Leadership Award. The awards were given by the board of directors of the Coos County Family Health Center, who particularly recognized Viger’s nearly three decades of service to the town of Berlin in nearly countless ways. In 1996 she accepted the responsibility of overseeing both the Health Department and Recreation and Parks. Among her many accomplishments are: initiating Special Olympics in the North Country, providing the leadership to gain a Dialysis Center for the area, spearheading the organization of RiverFire, and providing her gifted leadership on other projects such as the Disaster/Pandemic Preparedness and Mitigation Task Force, and making Jericho Park the great recreatonal facility it is for the families of Berlin, according to a recent press release from CCFHS.

BERLIN – Coos County is exploring the concept of a community forest as a means to protect the working forest and forest-based economy of the county. The Coos planning board listened to a presentation on community forests and then held an open discussion on the topic at its meeting Wednesday night. At the conclusion of the two-hour session, Board Chair

John Scarinza declared it was clear there was a consensus to go forward with looking at opportunities for a county forest, working with local communities and landowners. He said the sense was to move “sooner rather than later”. Planning board member Rick Tillotson said while funding may not be available now, it is important to have a plan in place for the future. see FOREST page 19

Tribeca Film Festival turns 10 NEW YORK (NY Times) — It was just 10 years ago the Tribeca Film Festival into the neighborhood and, despite its good will, was greeted with a raised eyebrow by snooty cinephiles for its free-for-all mixture of art, entertainment and community development. The grumbling about Tribeca, which runs from Wednesday through May 1 at movie theaters around Manhattan, has since subsided. Nowadays Tribeca is not considered a threat to the status quo but a useful cultural stimulant that has been good for movies and good for New York, particularly the Lower Manhattan neighborhood left broken in the wake of 9/11. Estimates of the economic activity it has generated since its inception exceed $600 million. “It wasn’t started as a traditional film festival,” said Jane Rosenthal, a Tribeca founder and its chief executive. “My sole goal was to bring people back downtown.” Sandwiched between the New Directors/New Films series presented by the Museum of Modern Art and the Film Society of Lincoln Center, and the Cannes Film Festival, it has not seriously raided anyone else’s territory. A few movies being shown this year were previously seen at Sundance, Toronto or elsewhere, but not that many.

House passes compromise budget bill

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

WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday passed compromise legislation to finance the federal government through the end of the fiscal year in September. The vote brought one budget clash to a close even as the Democrats and Republicans prepared for another. The vote was 260-167, with 59 Republicans breaking ranks with their party leadership to vote against the deal, which calls for $38 billion in spending cuts this

year. The Republican defections, a result of opposition from conservatives who said the bill did not do enough to rein in spending, forced the House speaker, John A. Boehner of Ohio, to turn to Democrats to pass the bill and keep the government from shutting down. Afterward, the bill moved to the Senate, where it was expected to pass quickly and be sent to President Obama’s desk. After the budget vote, the House moved

onto votes on two measures — one to deny federal funds to Planned Parenthood and another to roll back the 2010 health care overhaul. Both passed overwhelmingly in the House, but were expected to fail in the Senate. Early in the debate over the budget bill, Mr. Boehner took to the House floor to defend it and encourage its passage. “Is it perfect? No,” he said. “I’d be the first to admit it’s flawed. But welcome to divided government.”

Libya highlights strains in NATO Search for bodies in Japan BERLIN (NY Times) — NATO’s foreign ministers, showing the strains of fighting two wars at once, tried to play down divisions over the intensity of the air campaign against Libya on Thursday, urging patience and resolve as the alliance carries out what one official called “a significant level” of attacks on Col. Muammar elQaddafi’s forces. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany in Berlin on Thursday. “As our mission continues, maintaining our resolve and unity only grows more impor-

tant,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said, responding to the unusually public divisions among NATO leaders over a military operation now nearly a month old. “Qaddafi is testing our determination.” As if to prove the point, Libya’s state television showed Colonel Qaddafi riding through the capital, Tripoli, in an open-topped sport utility vehicle. Presumably he did so in defiance of new NATO strikes there on Thursday, although NATO officials have said repeatedly that they are only defending civilians, and that the Libyan leader is not a target.

edges closer to nuclear plant

(NY Times) — The Japanese police moved their search for bodies closer to the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on Thursday as workers continued to remove radioactive water from the facility. Police officials from Fukushima Prefecture said the search for bodies was being conducted in an area about four miles from the Daiichi plant. The police said radiation levels had dropped sufficiently to allow workers to safely look for victims of last month’s earthquake and tsunami. They also said the logistics of a search in a contaminated area, including having enough doctors to inspect contaminated bodies, now allowed for the search. Officials did not estimate how many bodies may be in the area being searched. The National Police Agency placed the death toll at more than 13,400, with the number of missing at more than 14,800.

Committee reduces state budget bill by one-fourth BY TOM FAHEY THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — A Senate committee stripped controversial sections of a House budget bill Wednesday, saying they have no place in a bill that deals with finances. The big changes were a decision to kill House efforts to strip collective bargaining rights from union members who delay approval of contracts; to abolish the Department of Cultural Resources; to cut $110 million from hospitals; and to remove multiple changes to the state’s pension and corrections systems. In all, the Senate Finance Committee killed about a quarter of the provisions of House Bill 2, one of two major pieces of the House budget. The committee also killed changes to state policy on mental health services, children’s health, nursing home payments, local welfare policy and a ban on the use of out-of-state legal counsel. Some provisions are out for good; others could return if Senate policy committees recommend them. Senate Finance Chairman Sen. Chuck Morse, R-Salem, said that with the current state of HB 2, the Senate has a $200 million problem to fill in its own budget. He said the House put a lot of things in the bill that don’t deal directly with the state budget; he called them “extraneous policy matters.” HB 2 is usually a technical document that makes changes in law necessary for the budget bill, HB 1, to take effect. “The reality is the back of the budget should be tied to the budget. We had to clean up House Bill 2 so we could start building a budget,” Morse said. However, he said revenue projections do not show the state realizing a sudden influx of tax dollars anytime soon. “I don’t think there will be any major changes from the House position unless the Senate can find other places to cut that will fund programs we want to add,” he said. “The revenues are just not there.” The Senate eliminated a $110 million cut to hospitals for charity care because it would have forced health

insurance rates upward, he said. It also refused to pass a $30 million cut in health services for public retirees, a $26 million cut in mental health services and $20 million in cuts to services for the disabled. Covering the $200 million shortfall will involve a combination of creative budget cuts and government reforms. Morse said he plans to unveil a major change to the Corrections Department today to avoid a budget increase that Gov. John Lynch proposed. It was the only department to escape a reduction in the governor’s plan. Although the budget will be tight and painful, Morse said, he does not plan any tax increases. “I’m committed to living within our means on revenues,” Morse said. The Cultural Resources Department would have had many functions transferred to other state departments, but could have cost the state federal grants. Changes to parole and probation practices under reforms passed last year were pulled out of HB 2, but remain in Senate Bill 3. Changes to education funding that were pulled — and to the New Hampshire Retirement System — are also in House and Senate bills that are still pending. The collective bargaining provision that makes public workers at-will employees if their contracts expire without renewal sparked outrage among union members two weeks ago. The Senate pulled the changes out of HB 2, but they are also in a separate piece of legislation, HB 580. Gov. Lynch said Wednesday he opposes the changes in collective bargaining law. He called them “unnecessary and inappropriate in a budget document.” House insistence on passing them, he said, “led to needless angst” among workers. Morse said the House was trying to force state workers to concede to $50 million in savings on health and other benefits in ongoing contract talks. Lynch said the State Employees Union is already working cooperatively in negotiations to reach that target.

Pension fight goes one more round BY GARRY RAYNO THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD – The Senate plan to reform the state pension system drew familiar opponents and proponents in the session-long battle over how to change the system. Senate Bill 3 (click to view status and text) would require public employees to pay more, newly hired and non-vested employees to work longer and retirees to give up costof-living raises into the foreseeable future. Under the bill, a five-year average would be used to determine a worker’s retirement benefit, instead of the current three-year average; an escalating clause for retiree medical benefits would be eliminated. The legislation would do away with a special fund used to pay retirees a cost-of-living raise and change the makeup of the retirement board trustees to include more employer representatives. It would also place greater restrictions on retirees working part-time for public employers while collecting retirement benefits. Without the changes, supporters said, the New Hampshire Retirement System will not be sustainable and the system’s $4.7 billion unfunded liability will not be reduced. They said property taxes will continue to skyrocket, workers will be laid off and the state will have its bond rating downgraded. The NHRS pays pensions to 24,000 retired public workers, and includes more than 50,000 active workers. At a public hearing Wednesday before the House Special Committee on Public Employee Pensions Reform, public employee representatives said lawmakers are balancing the state’s budget and fixing the retirement system’s financial problems on their backs. David Lang, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire, said the reform amounts to an income tax on public employees. “You are taking 2 percent out

of public employees’ pockets. That means less money will be spent at the grocery store or for school clothes for their kids,” he said. Retired firefighter and Manchester Board of School Board member Arthur Beaudry said eliminating cost-of-living increases and the health care escalator will put many retirees in dire straights. With health care costs going up 10 to 15 percent a year, retirees will not be able to absorb the increase, he said. “It won’t be long before your pension is eroded to nothing,” Beaudry said. But supporters said without changes, more and more cities and towns will see police, firefighters and teachers laid off. Dean Michener of the New Hampshire School Boards Association, said the employer rates for school districts increased 40 percent in 2006, 57 percent in 2008, 20 percent in 2010 and are scheduled to increase 31 percent in July. “This kind of growth is really not sustainable,” Michener said. “We’re a labor intensive business and the only way to deal with these increases is through layoffs.” Barbara Reid of the New Hampshire Municipal Association said the bill meets the three criteria of its members: do not impact current retirees’ benefits, do not cause a “race to the door” for experienced workers, and address the escalating costs to taxpayers. “Our goal is to ensure that the retirement system continues providing pension benefits to New Hampshire public employees over the long term, at a reasonable cost to New Hampshire taxpayers,” Reid told the committee. The bill’s prime sponsor, Sen. Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, said the changes being proposed would make the retirement system whole and viable into the future. The Senate and House have passed similar bills. Eventually negotiators will work on a compromise that both bodies will have to approve.

What Makes You Happiest? Baby Boy has a new found curiosity: the level of one’s happiness. Several times throughout the day, I am under inquisition, “Mama, are you happy?” Last week I gave him a giant smile (as I was scraping a potpourri of dried banana and Play-Do off the leather chair) and said, “Of course! I get to be your Mommy.” To which he recoiled in horror and asked, “Why your teeth very yellow, Mama?” Wrong time to launch into what a lifetime of red wine and coffee will do? So, are you happy? Not just right now, but in general, do you consider yourself happy? Ah, such a loaded question for isn’t that the human condition, defining happiness before attaining it? No short work there. You may have an idea of shallow happiness, “I feel happy when I eat a whole

pizza.” Or when you buy something new or date The Hot One from work. But those are external forces twisting your mind into an idea of happiness, usually which leaves you feeling guilty and destitute afterwards. Look at a typical American lifestyle — hours on the computer or in front of the TV; eating processed junakaroo; in a chronic state of disconnect from nature and our family; constantly running on all stressful cylinders. How can we reclaim our birthright to be happy when we are in a constant cycle of dis-ease? Kids are happy. They exude happiness. They are either happy or not. There is no guesswork or question. They wear their emotion like a milk moustache. We need to be more like our kids in see HAPPIEST page 20

The Man For All Seasons

His voice was most often the voice of reason, choosing his words carefully, seeking to calm the often highly contentious voices of his times. He often spoke very little in the important assemblies of which he was usually a part. But when he spoke, others listened, and most took the time to consider what he said. They listened because what he said most often went right to the heart of the matter, framing it in such a way that no reasonable person could ignore. Of all the remarkable men we have come to call the Founding Fathers of our country, no one stands higher, in my estimation, than Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). If I had the opportunity to personally know one person in American history, it would be this man of unparalleled accomplishment. This Sunday, the 17, of April, will mark the 221st anniversary of Franklin’s death in 1790, at the age of 84. During his long and distinguished life, he was a printer, a writer, a scientist, a musician, an inventor, a civic activist, a politician, a diplomat, and, perhaps above all else, a man to whom the word “honorable” and “statesman” could truly be applied. In my opinion, this country is sorely in need of such an accomplished man or woman today. In my research on Franklin’s life, I came across a reference to a list of Thirteen Virtues that Franklin wrote down as his guidelines for life, when he was 20 years old. The reference noted that Franklin chose one virtue each week and tried to live each day with that virtue fixed in his mind. Reading his list and the reasoning for each virtue’s inclusion shows them to be as relevant in 2011 as they were in 1726, when Franklin first wrote them. Temperance – Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation. Silence – Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation. Order – Let all your things have their places: let each part of your business have its

time. Resolution – Resolve to perform what you ought: perform without fail what you resolve. Frugality – Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing. Industry – Lose no time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions. Sincerity – Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly; and, if you speak, speak accordingly. Justice – Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty. Moderation – Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve. Cleanliness – Tolerate no uncleanness in body, clothes, or habitation. Tranquility – Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable. Chastity – Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation. Humility – Imitate Jesus and Socrates. By his own admission, Franklin was not always able to live up to the high standards he set for himself. As with most of us, he too often failed the virtues by which he tried to live his life. He was not without his faults. But try he did. And the trying in and of itself, Franklin considered to be important. And the service that he rendered to the world in which he lived speaks for itself. He considered his thirteen-point guideline for life to be among his most important accomplishments – perhaps his most important, for he devotes much time to it in his autobiography, a clear indication of his priorities. Would that such a person of wisdom might have the ear of his or her country today. (Ithaca Bound is the pen name of Dick Conway. His e-mail address is: ithacabound35@gmail.com.)

NC Prevention Youth Council Facilitates Middle School Leadership Conference: Service Over Self By Lynn Tilden and Dan Shamberger Seniors at Lin-Wood CRAWFORD NOTCH --Over the weekend of March 25-27, the North Country Prevention Youth Council facilitated a youth leadership conference at the AMC Highland Center in Crawford Notch. This conference was sponsored by North Country Education Services through a federal GRAA (grants to reduce alcohol abuse) grant. The S.O.S. (service over self) conference was a retreat for North Country middle school students from the following public schools: Berlin, Gorham, Littleton, LinWood, Profile, Stratford, Groveton, Whitefield, and Lancaster. Each school selected six students to attend this first of its kind conference. The conference was planned, organized and facilitated entirely by the North Country Prevention Youth Council, under the guidance of the Lin-Wood Public School Project SUCCESS counselor Sean O’Brien. This council, which served as the youth staff for the conference, is composed of students from the following North Country high schools: Lin-Wood, Littleton, Berlin, Profile, Stratford, Groveton and White Mountain Regional. This council consisting of

leaders from each school’s PYC, Prevention Youth Council, meets bi-weekly to work on solutions to the problems that face their schools and communities. The students involved are: Mike Kay, Erica Langku, Renee Kenny, Lynn Tilden, Allen Komisarek, Vyktoria Boyle, Paige Libby, Grace Lavoie, Jake Renaud, Mariah Middleton, Alec Supernois, Natalie Hakey, Electra Poulsen, Zach York, David Walker, Jake Silva and Daniel Shamberger. The first night of the conference was kicked off by keynote speaker Ty Sells of Youth to Youth International based out of Columbus, OH. Ty is world- renowned for his humor and his powerful message of acceptance. Ty entertains and motivates young audiences to live drug-free lives and deal with peer pressure by looking inward to personal strengths. Ty then facilitated the game show called “Out Smart” that focuses on environmental drug and alcohol prevention through a series of games and activities. The rest of the weekend consisted of adventurous survival tactics workshops facilisee CONFERENCE page 5

Students named Granite State Scholars

CONCORD -- Commissioner of Education, Virginia M. Barry, Ph.D., has announced the 2011 Granite State Scholars. Representing 57 high schools around the State, 623 students earned the status as a Granite State Scholar. The designations were made from lists submitted to the commissioner’s office by the high school principals and participating colleges. The qualifications for designation are: student must be a high school senior, under the age of 21; student must be ranked in the top 10 percent of the senior class; and must have scored at least 1200 on an SAT CONFERENCE from page 4

the AMC, and the Youth Staff put on their own workshops about school climate, public service announcements, public speaking, and Project Venture, an evidence- based curriculum to prevent drug and alcohol use among youth through experiential education. Each workshop consisted of its own meaningful message guided students to come up with ideas to bring back to their own schools. Project Venture used experiencelearning techniques. School climate touched on the importance of school spirit and some ways to maintain it in their schools. The public service announcement workshop had a guest from the National Guard come in to help them create a public service idea and started to make one. The workshop on public speaking empowered the students to speak publicly and have self-advocacy. At the end of the conference each school presented their action plan to bring back to their school. Groveton SOS Team will be doing a “CLEAN BUTTS UP” around the town, collecting butts in a jar to have people guess how many are in there and the one who comes closest will win a prize. They will put out tobacco information around the school and the community. They also wanted to tie in cleaning up the environment. Stratford will be doing the sticker shock campaign, holding a dance and doing some of the energizers from SOS. They also plan to go into the elementary classes or an elementary assembly and perform a puppet show. Littleton decided that they are going to do a swap in the lunchroom to mix up where the kids will sit, as well as fundraising to bring Ty Sells to speak at their school. Lin-Wood plans to bring back the idea to have a regional middle school dance and have all the proceeds go to students in middle school for the summer conference of youth to youth. Profile decided to combine their high school leadership group with their middle school leadership group to create a warm and fuzzy board at their school. Whitefield and Lancaster are teaming up together to do the activity of project sticker shock, which is an activity where they will go around to different local businesses and place stickers about awareness of alcohol and place them on cases of alcohol. Gorham and Berlin are also teaming up and starting a policy at their schools so they can put anonymous notes in a box with information on things that happened concerning

exam taken on or before January 31st of the student’s senior year (or an equivalent score on ACT). This year 623 high school seniors were designated as Granite State Scholars, down from last year 835 last year. Commissioner Barry said, “It is an honor for these seniors and they should be commended for this achievement.” Each recipient will receive a certificate signed by the governor and the commissioner. Area students named Granite State Scholars were Gorham High School students: Stefan Gorham, Valerie King. Sarah Kinney and Adam Simard.

the student body. Zach York’s presentation at closing ceremonies really brought things together. It was powerful to hear from the participants how much they gained from this experience. We are extremely proud of the work the students from the North Country Prevention Youth Council did to make this conference such a success. It was truly a team effort. Matt Saladino Guidance Counselor Gorham Middle School stated, “Service Over Self was a phenomenal experience for our middle school students. Our students did not want to leave! They came back energized and ready to implement their community action plans.” Colby Chase, a student from LinWood shared, “It was epic-- I felt that I could relate to everyone there because I felt accepted.” Pearce Bourassa, also a Lin-Wood student said, “It was fun making new friends and great to have an impact on my peers’ lives in a positive way.” Eunice Bartlett, Lin-Wood, said, “The acceptance exerted towards everyone was incredible.” Bryce Gillen Lin-Wood “My family group was amazing. I was able to get to know everyone on a personal level” Justin Borges, Lin-Wood, commented, “The S.O.S. conference changed the way I feel about students being bullied or mistreated.” Devon Rivera, Lin-Wood, shared, “It felt like we were a family because everyone was so accepting.” Brook Hayes, Lin-Wood, said, “I liked how no one talked during the first family group but by the last day everyone acted like family and the conversations were amazing.” Chloe Loukes, Lin-Wood, shared, “It was amazingly epic!” Sean O’Brien Lin-Wood Public School Project SUCCESS Counselor commented, “The closing ceremonies really brought everything together. It was so nice to hear what the participants got out of their experience in their own words. There wasn’t a dry eye in the audience when one student proclaimed that this was the most accepted that he has felt in a long time and that he was able to be himself here at the conference which is something he feels he can not do at his school. The climate that we created at the conference is what we are empowering the participants to create back at their respective schools. It is one of acceptance.”

RMC fundraiser was a success

GORHAM -- On April 9, nearly 60 Randolph Mountain Club (RMC) members and guests enjoyed a gourmet evening out with ample socializing and great raffle prizes in support of the Club’s continuing celebrations of its 100th year. Liz Jackson, owner and chef at Libby’s Bistro, created an unforgettable meal of crabcakes, duck, pork, risotto, gnocchi, salad, and vegetables which wowed the senses of the attendees. The raffle featured Randolph summer resident Judy Hudson’s book Peaks & Paths: A Century of the Randolph Mountain Club, (on sale through http://www.randolphmountainclub.org and at White Mt. Cafe and Bookstore), home made mustard, Mt. Washington Auto Road and Great Glen passes, maple syrup from Scar-

Also, the vendors will be setting up tables with a variety of more items at tremendous savings.

Gill's Flowers It all started in the late 1800’s when the 1st. Thomas Gill arrived in Canada as a young man and travelled to MA to study the plant growing business. Eventually, he came north, bought out the Smith Greenhouse and thats how we began. We are now 111 years old and the store is operated by third and 4th generation! For years, Gills grew its own flowers and plants, but as years passed the energy crunch made growing prof-

itably impossible. Now we buy in all our products. Gills carries all your floral and plant needs. Over the years we have added silks, stuffed animals, balloons and handmade chocolates. Most recently, we have become the place to drop off and pick up your cleaning. It has brought different cliental to our store whom we are happy to serve.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in a spunky mood, and you’ll be less guarded with what you do and say. Because of this, you have the potential to brighten someone’s day or ruin it, and of course, you’ll choose the first option. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Unbeknownst to you, you are drawing someone in with the intensity of your presence, your sparkling eyes and the gusto you add to the conversation. Be careful, heartbreaker! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though you are open and curious, you will not be easily won. Furthermore, it will take an especially compelling argument to separate you from your money. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You choose what you want because you think it would be fun to have it. You will be careful not to choose out of insecurity or need and will not respond to pressure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Get back into your hobby. Loved ones may at first be jealous of the time you spend doing “your thing,” but they will ultimately be happy for you, as doing what you enjoy makes you a more loving person. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 15). This year grows a new and more confident you. A financial boost will improve many parts of your life. Professional goals will lead you far from your comfort zone. You’ll become masterful at a very difficult task because you keep practicing. A special relationship brings blissful times. Cancer and Leo people are your enthusiastic supporters. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 19, 33, 28 and 1.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s no secret that you’re a giver. You’ll bring around someone else’s good fortune. This will ultimately be more satisfying for you than riding your own lucky streak. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your dreams of last night affect the start of your day. Your subconscious has had its fun, but in the morning light, it is time to push the mental “reset” button and take control of your own mind and mood. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will produce the equivalent of a rabbit out of a hat. It’s a trick, the usefulness of which is questionable, but that doesn’t keep it from being a sheer delight to your rapt audience. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Avoid a game that’s too easy for you. Your nerves will tell you whether you’re playing at the right level. And you can channel your nervous energy to give you the edge. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your energy is vibrant, though not necessarily constant. As superhuman as you feel, you still require downtime to recharge. Make time to relax and get grounded, and you’ll stay strong. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be in a cautious mood, looking out for those more reckless. Someone has to! Your kindness will not be directly repaid, but doing the right thing is its own reward. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll work on your core -- if not your abs then your emotional core. You are loved and valued. By focusing and feeling this at a very deep level, you’ll attract more of the same.

BUNNIES BOUGHT FOR EASTER OFTEN WIND UP IN SHELTERS

DEAR ABBY: Could you please reprint a letter you ran a few years ago about the dangers of purchasing a pet rabbit for children at Easter? As a rabbit owner for eight years, I’m all too familiar with the misconceptions and ridiculous theories associated with these delightful creatures. Every point in that letter rang true to me, and I beg anyone considering giving a child a rabbit to reconsider. When I bought my bunny, it was near Easter time. Most pet stores didn’t offer them, and I was told it was because of the large number of rabbits found dead or abandoned on the streets because the selfish, inhumane people who bought them for the holiday disposed of them the next day. These dear little animals deserve owners who will love and respect them. Please don’t waste their lives. -- CAITLIN IN L.A. DEAR CAITLIN: I’m happy to oblige. The letter you requested carries an important message that can’t be repeated often enough: DEAR ABBY: Easter is coming. Many families still purchase live rabbits as pets for their children. Parents often think rabbits are good “starter” pets and don’t understand what they are getting into. As a result, many of these poor creatures end up in animal shelters, and children learn that pets are disposable. Before getting rabbits, people should consider: 1. Are they willing to make a seven-to-10-year commitment? That is the average lifespan of a rabbit. 2. What will happen if their child gets bored with the bunny after six months? 3. Is there a place in their house for a rabbit cage?

4. Are they willing to pay to get it spayed/neutered and provide vet care? 5. Do they know that most rabbits hate to be held? Will their child accept that? 6. Are they willing to ensure that children under 7 won’t pick up the rabbit without supervision? Rabbits are fragile; their legs or spine will break if accidentally dropped. 7. Can they provide three hours of exercise every day in an escape-proof area outside its cage? 8. Do the adults want the rabbit, too? A rabbit should be a family pet. If people have questions about rabbits and their care, please ask them to contact my organization. We are happy to answer questions. Our website is www.rabbitnetwork.org, and our phone number is (781) 431-1211. Finally, if a rabbit is right for you and your family, please adopt one from a shelter or rescue group. You’ll enrich your family with a new member and also teach your kids the value of saving a life. Thank you. -- SUZANNE TRAYHAN, PRESIDENT, HOUSE RABBIT NETWORK DEAR SUZANNE: The topic of bunnies, baby chicks and ducklings as Easter gifts is one that recurs every year. I hear from people who work in animal shelters deploring the fact that these helpless little creatures are later dumped when they cease to be novelties. I hope readers will take to heart what you have written, particularly the suggestion that if a rabbit is going to be adopted, a shelter or rescue group can be an excellent resource.

FOREST from page one

Scarinza explained that the impetus for the discussion was the proposed Androscoggin Headwaters project, which would protect over 31,000 acres of land. Out of that total, over 7,000 acres would go into the Umbagog Fish and Wildlife Refuge. At the time future projects were also in the news. He said some expressed concern about the future of the working forest in the county and those businesses that rely on vibrant commercial timberlands. Recognizing that the county commission sets policy, Scarinza said he met with them to get their thoughts and to offer to have the planning board guide the discussion. He said all parties understood that any such project would require a willing seller, willing buyer, and the money to do the deal. As a first step, the planning board

invited the Community Forest Collaborative to do a presentation on community forests. Julie Renaud Evans of the Sustainable Forest futures, Rodger Krussman of the Trust for Public Land, and Marcy Lyman of the Community Forest Collaborative spent about an hour describing how community forests work, using as examples the Randolph, Gorham, and Errol Community Forests. Evans explained that in the past, mill owners owned large tracts of land to provide wood for the paper and saw mills. The owners allowed use of the land for traditional recreation and for hunting and fishing camps. That changed in 1988 with the sell-off of the Diamond lands which spurred the Northern Forest Lands Council study. Evans noted that of the 26 million acres in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and New York studied by the

hands over the next ten years. Evans said the Coos master plan cites the importance of protecting the working forest. She said land values have skyrocketed and timberland can now sell for up to eight times the value of the timber, making it hard to efficiently manage such lands for timber. She said that is where easements can help. Selling the development rights removes some of the value from the land. With community forests, the property is permanently protected and the benefits of the forestland stay local. “You need to remember the value of keeping that money at home,” said Evans. Milan selectman George Pozzuto asked if there is money available to help communities or the county buy land. see FOREST page 21

Northern Forest Lands Council, 24 million acres have changed ownership at least once since the study. Where 20 years, there were three categories of large forest land owners – public, industrial, and other, Evans said there are now timber investment management organization and timber real estate investment trusts, developers and logging contractors buying and selling large tracts of land. No longer tied to a mill, the lands are being managed for different reasons including the demands of investors and shareholders. Evans said there is about a million acres of forestland in Coos County – she said about a third of that is in the 23 unincorporated places that fall under the jurisdiction of the county. She noted a 2008 study estimated about 40,000 to 150,000 acres in the Mahoosuc area, including the Androscoggin Valley, will change

HAPPIEST from page 4

order to get back to Happiness 101. A typical trait of children is that they love looking forward to things. They get so excited that Billy’s birthday party is on Saturday or that they get ice cream after nap. What do you have to look forward to? You need to get excited about something down the road or your days have a blah purpose. Set yourself up with a small treat that acts like an allowance for a week/month/year well done. A yoga class, lunch with your favorite college professor, opening a new home business … pick some short and long-term treats. The trick here is to make sure all of your actions during the day are leading you to that pot of gold. When you align your activity with something positive and fun, how can you not be happy? You also need something from your past that you can be really proud of for those times when you feel like you have been run over by a commuter train. Your kids hang up every art

project ever made (such pride in those sparkly creations!) You need an inner art gallery for your accomplishments. Did you deliver a baby on the road in a snowstorm? Kick a winning goal? Sing like a badass in choir? There is something in your past that is awesome. Remember what that is and hang on to it for when you need an ego security blanket. Despite the moaning and groaning, your kids are most happy when they are with you. (At least until they turn 14.) I asked a bunch of kids what makes them happiest and every single one said being with their families. No one said eating pizza or sleeping or getting stuff. Follow suit. Schedule time if you have to for family dinners, walks, game nights, whatever. Just be together, no phones, iPods or distractions. Because there will be a time when you don’t have your family at your fingertips any longer. But you have them today. When have you ever met a kid that holds a grudge? Freddy took Betty’s

favorite teddy? Sure, rage and fire erupts. Two minutes later they are BFF’s again. You cannot be happy if you are holding on to long lost anger, hurt and regret. Give yourself permission to let go of these grudges and forgive those that have wronged you. You won’t lose power. On the contrary, new space opens for light and positivity to grow. Most importantly, forgive yourself. You can’t go back and change your choices. But all those choices got you to where you are today, and today you have the chance to be fabulous. Kids spend the day singing their own praises and giving themselves hugs (yes, I know you aren’t that flexible, but…) you also need to tell yourself that you love yourself. You tell the

kids, the dog, the chocolate…when is the last time you told you? Know how happy it makes you to hear your partner tell you they love you? It has the same effect. Look at your gorgeous mug in the mirror and say, “I love you.” You will feel like a goof the first few times. Then you get this instantaneous zap and glow. It is amazing how much more you can achieve if you know you love yourself. And that will make you happy. And you, more than anyone, deserve to be happy.

FOREST from page 19

Krussman said federal and state governments are still debating funding levels for conservative initiatives. He noted that his organization has been successful competing for what limited funding has been available. Krussman said that success is in part because their projects also create economic opportunities for the communities in addition to the conservation component. Scarinza said the first step is to come up with a good project. He pointed out the town of Errol borrowed money to create its town forest and is paying the bond with money earned harvesting timber off the forest. Lyman said the collaborative doesn’t see community forests as a wholesale model. She said it has to be a piece of land that has some meaning to the community. She said it is simply one option. Planning Board member Michael Waddell said there is little cost to owning a community forest. Planning Board Vice Chair Fred King said he believes there should be a moratorium on any additional federal ownership of land in Coos County. He said trees don’t get cut on federal lands. David Publicover of the Appalachian Mountain Club said the amount of land in Coos County managed for conservation has increased from 22 percent

to 47 percent since 1988. But he said most of that land is still managed as working forests. He said much of the land that is not is in timber production is high elevation or wetlands. Both Tom Wagner, district ranger for the White Mountain National Forest and Paul Casey, manager of the Umbagog National Refuge, said timber harvesting is allowed on part of their respective holdings. Wagner said 40 million board feet is under contract on the WMNF. Mark Peabody, owner of the Mahoosuc Inn in Milan, said the region has to find a ways to make a living from the forest without timber harvesting. He said it is important to keep the tracts intact. He said he has found sled dogs popular at his inn. County Commissioner Burnham Judd said he feels the federal and state governments have all the land they need. He said he would rather see the county and communities work together and applying for grants to purchase timber lands. Commission Tom Brady said he favors a community-county forest approach as well. Tillotson suggested the county not take an adversarial approach with the federal government. He said the parties should look at ways to make it attractive for the county to be the owner of forestland and be ready when the economy changes.

LANDFILL from page one

the prospective buyer had changed but the project should be unaffected. “We are ready to move on the project,” said Gauthier. She said representatives from the district, its attorney and the project engineers have met with representatives from Patriarch and the discussion have gone really well. “At this point it looks positive,” said Gauthier. Patriarch and C.R.B. Capital have agreed to reach an agreement by next Monday, so Gauthier said she will have more information on the status of the project after that date. Gauthier said the ultimate goal of the project is still to get the mill up and running. A.V.R.R.D.D. has been working since 2009 on the project that would pipe natural gas from the landfill to the Gorham mill.

The project would construct about 14,000 feet of pipeline running through Success, Berlin and Gorham. The project would also include the construction of a metering and regulation building along the pipeline. The pipeline would not only benefit AVRRDD by providing a way to use the gas produced at the landfill, but also offset heating costs at the mill. The N.H. Site Evaluation Committee in November granted the project a waiver and felt that the district’s applications for permits and review by local agencies would be enough vetting for the pipeline. The last time the board met, Cate Street Capital was still the prospective buyer for the mill. Since then, C.R.B. Capital put together an agreement with Patriarch since the deadline for Cate Street to close on the mill had passed.

New guidelines for WIC program CONCORD -- The US Department of Agriculture and the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services announced new income guidelines for eligibility in the WIC Nutrition Program. These represent a slight increase over the previous guidelines. Effective April 1, the following income guidelines went into effect: Family of 1, annual, $20,147, monthly $1,679, weekly, $388. Family of 2, annual, $27,214, monthly, $2,268, weekly, $524. Family of 3, annual, $34,281, monthly $2,857, weekly, $660. Family of 4, annual $41,348, monthly %3,446, weekly $796. The WIC Nutrition Program is a public health nutrition program for pregnant women, new mothers, breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to the

age of five years old. WIC provides healthy food such as fruits and vegetables, whole grain cereals and breads, and low-fat dairy products. Pregnant women and new mothers receive breastfeeding support and counseling from nutritionists and breastfeeding peer counselors to promote exclusive breastfeeding as the healthiest way to feed infants. WIC also provides individual nutrition education and referrals to other community services. “The WIC Program’s strong support and commitment to breastfeeding is an excellent start for young families with limited incomes, and helps assure infants and children grow healthy and strong with the WIC nutrition education and nutritious foods,” said Dr José Montero, director of the NH Division of Public Health Services. To learn if your family is eligible for WIC services, call 1-800-942-4321.

Do yur part to prevent bear visits this spring CONCORD, N.H. -- Do not be “fooled” by the Northeaster that has blanketed New Hampshire with several inches of snow -- bears are emerging from their winter dens and will become more active over the next few weeks. Bears den primarily to avoid being active during a period of time when food sources are limited. Weather conditions do play a role in denning phenology, but the influence of weather on denning behavior is less significant than food availability. As a result, do not expect that this spring snowstorm will reduce bear activity around the state. Bears are ready to come out of winter dens, and it is time for people to be vigilant and remove attractants that draw bears into residential areas. Homeowners need to take action now to reduce the chance of having a bear visit their home. One important guideline is to take down bird feeders and keep them down between April and December, says New Hampshire Fish and Game Bear Project Leader Andrew Timmins; bears are attracted to birdseed, which is a nutrient-rich, easily accessible food source. “By late March, many New Hampshire residents had reported seeing bears, or bear tracks, around their bird feeders,” Timmins said. “Bears remember areas where they successfully secured food on previous occasions. It is how they adapt to periods of low food abundance. Given that sunflower seed is more nutritious than most foods a bear will find in the woods, it is easy to understand why some residences get visited by bears every spring.” Securing garbage is equally important as removing birdfeeders. If you secure your garbage and remove birdfeeders, you have addressed the two attractants that cause the vast majority of bear/human conflicts in New Hampshire. Removing these two common attractants will go a long way towards reducing the number of annual bear complaints. The N.H. Fish and Game Department thanks you for your efforts. Spring is a critical time for bears, as the greatest nutritional stress on a bear occurs during the first two months after they emerge from dens. During the denning period, bears typically

lose 25% of their body weight, and a lactating female with newborn cubs may lose as much as 40%. The New Hampshire black bear population remains stable, with a statewide population that approximates 4,800 bears. Homeowners should take action to reduce the chances of a bear visiting their home. Avoid encounters with bears by taking a few simple precautions: * Stop all bird feeding by April 1. * Clean up any spilled birdseed and dispose of it in the trash. * Secure all garbage in airtight containers inside a garage or adequate storage area, and put garbage out on the morning of pickup, not the night before. * Avoid putting meat or other food scraps in your compost pile. * Don’t leave pet food dishes outside overnight. * Clean and store outdoor grills after each use. * Finally, never intentionally feed bears! These steps will help to ensure that your backyard does not become attractive to bears and other wildlife, which is important because it prevents property damage by bears and because it keeps bears from becoming nuisance animals. “The surest way to prevent bear/human conflicts is to keep your yard free of attractants. You may need to take additional steps to protect items that can’t be removed. For example, dumpsters should have a locking metal top that prevents access by bears, and beehives and livestock should be protected with an electric fence. To avoid bear-related conflicts, prevent bears from visiting and, most of all, from getting in the habit of finding food on your property,” said Timmins.

able about the paper industry. “They know what they are getting into,” Grenier said. George Bald, commissioner of the state Department of Resources and Economic Development, noted he has repeatedly said there is value in the Cascade plant and the workers. “I’ve said when the right players come together this mill should be operating for a long time.” Tilton said there are some issues including a lot of money that needs to be invested in the mill including the purchase of a tissue machine. She said there is an easement to be worked out and indicated the proposed gas line is a requirement. If her company decides to purchase the plant, Tilton said she would try to close on the deal within four weeks and get the first machine up and running in another four weeks. Tilton said part of her interest in the Cascade plant is the good experience her company has had since purchasing the former Red Shield pulp mill in Old Town, Maine in 2009. Patriarch Partners reopened the mill as Old Town Fuel and Fiber. The appearance of Patriarch Partners as a potential buyer of the mill was a surprise after Cate Street Capital in February announced plans to purchase the facility. But two weeks ago mill owner Counsel RB Capital gave Patriarch Papers an exclusive option on the facility. Patriarch Papers described itself as “ a global investment firm that concentrates on direct investments in distressed businesses, managing funds with over $7 billion of equity and secured loan assets with equity investments in more than 70 companies, and controlling interests in approximately two-thirds of these”.

Patriarch Partners Founder and CEO Lynn Tilton leaves the Cascade mill in Gorham Thursday after touring the facility and meeting with local, state and union officials. Tilton said she hopes to agree to a deal to buy the mill by Monday. Escorting her out of the mill is Cascade employee and Berlin CIty Councilor Roland Theberge. (BARBARA TETREAULT PHOTO) .
