BERLIN – People whose irresponsible actions end up requiring the response of the Berlin police could be billed for the cost of that service under a proposal being studied by the city.

Police Chief Peter Morency told the city council Monday night he is working on an ordinance that would hold offenders fiscally responsible if their behavior creates situations requiring a police response. As examples, he cited issues such as loud noise, false statements to police, protective custody, housing, and loose animals.

Morency met with the council to discuss ways the police department can generate revenue to help offset the cost of maintaining the 22-person department. The police commission is requesting a $2.8 million budget for fiscal 2013.

The police chief said most of the depart-

ment’s time is absorbed by 10 to 20 percent of the population. The vast majority of residents, he said, are law abiding. Morency said the ordinance would be a way to make offenders fiscally responsible for their behavior.

As an example, Police Lt. Dan Buteau said such an ordinance might be invoked against a resident after the department responded to repeated animal complaints at the resident’s house.

Asked if such an ordinance has been used elsewhere in the country, Morency said Los Angeles and Chicago have used a narrower version against noise offenders. N.H. Fish and Game has a policy of charging hikers who need to be rescued because of reckless or negligent actions.

Mayor Paul Grenier said he liked the idea.

He said it gives the department another tool to use against repeat offenders.

“I’m wholeheartedly behind this,” he said. see OFFENDERS page 5

Stylishly hide a gun (NY Times) — Woolrich, a 182-year-old clothing company, describes its new chino pants as an elegant and sturdy fashion statement, with a clean profile and fabric that provides comfort and flexibility. And they are great for hiding a handgun.

The company has added a second pocket behind the traditional front pocket for a weapon. Or, for those who prefer to pack their gun in a holster, it can be tucked inside the stretchable waistband. The back pockets are also designed to help hide accessories, like a knife and a flashlight. The chinos, which cost $65, are not for commandos, but rather, the company says, for the fashion-aware gun owner. And Woolrich has competition.

Several clothing companies are following suit, building businesses around the sharp rise in people with permits to carry concealed weapons.

Their ranks swelled to around seven million last year from five million in 2008, partly because of changes to state laws on concealed handguns.

Shawn Thompson, 35, who works at an auto dealership in eastern Kentucky, bought two shirts last month from the Woolrich Elite Concealed Carry line. Both, he wrote on his blog, are a step up from more rugged gear.

Carriers of concealed guns say the new options are a departure from the law enforcement and military look, known as “tactical,” long favored by gun owners.

Engineer arrested in BP oil spill case

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

HOUSTON (NY Times) — Federal prosecutors announced on Tuesday that they have filed the first criminal charges related to the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, accusing a former company engineer of destroying evidence by deleting text messages documenting the amount of oil that was leaking from the stricken well.

Federal authorities arrested the engineer, Kurt Mix of Katy, Tex., who was charged with two counts of obstruction of

justice in a complaint filed in the Eastern District of Louisiana and unsealed on Tuesday. Officials suggested that there may be more prosecutions related to the April 20, 2010, explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. The accident killed 11 workers and spilled millions of barrels of oil into the ocean over a period of months.

The long-term effects of the spill on the environment are still being assessed.

Construction company admits fraud scheme (NY Times) — The giant construction company that worked on the Sept. 11 Memorial and Citi Field projects has admitted to a massive fraud scheme and agreed to pay $50 million in fines and restitution in a deal to avoid criminal charges for overbilling on scores of public and private projects, according to federal court documents unsealed on Tuesday.

The company, which changed its name from Bovis Lend Lease to Lend Lease after a fatal fire during

its demolition of the Deutsche Bank building, will not be prosecuted criminally as a result of the agreement with federal prosecutors in Brooklyn, who say it is the largest construction fraud settlement ever in New York City. The man who led the company until the investigation was disclosed in 2009 and was one of the most prominent construction executives in the city, pleaded guilty to fraud charges on Tuesday in United States District Court in Brooklyn.

Annual Meeting Eagles Hall Wednesday, April 25th 7 p.m.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (NY Times) — The star prosecution witness in the corruption trial of former Senator John Edwards on Tuesday testified about elaborate efforts by Edwards to try to conceal an extramarital affair from his family, his campaign staff and report In his second day on the stand, the witness, Andrew Young, a former campaign staff member, said that he and Edwards had brainstormed about who might provide the necessary money to support Rielle Hunter, Edwards’ mistress, after Edwards’ wife learned of the affair and demanded that Hunter be dismissed from her job as a campaign videographer.

Young said he and Edwards knew they would have to come up with a lot of money — and for an extended period of time — given Hunter’s fondness for expensive items.

“This was going to be a long-term problem, and Miss Hunter had good taste,” Young said.

Hassan: Health compact Student teachers to learn by watching themselves on video bill wrong for N.H.

BY SARAH PALERMO

CONCORD — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Maggie Hassan said Tuesday that a GOP proposal to form a compact to assume control over Medicare and Medicaid within New Hampshire’s boundaries is a risky proposition that is wrong for the state.

“Seniors pay their whole working lives for Medicare. Under this plan, workers would still pay a tax for Medicare health insurance, but now they would not be guaranteed Medicare coverage once they reach 65,” Hassan said at a Statehouse news conference.

Hassan said the proposal would let the state decide to delay coverage until 70 or to raise their out-of-pocket costs. She noted that the Republicancontrolled Legislature cut funding to programs for the poor in the state budget adopted last year.

“We should not trust them with Medicare,” she said.

Hassan said she will outline her own

health care proposals in her campaign.

The House-passed bill proposes that New Hampshire join with other states in delivering health care to its residents. Under the bill, the states would receive block grants from the federal government and would take over Medicare and Medicaid. Congress would have to approve the compact for it to take effect. The bill would supersede any federal health care law.

House Republican Leader D.J. Bettencourt sponsored the bill, which seeks to free the state from the mandates of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Bettencourt says government is best when closest to the people, and bringing health care management back to the state level would ensure greater efficiency and accountability.

The Senate has not scheduled a vote on the bill.

Century-old fire records found DOVER — Firefighters at a New Hampshire station have found old record books in the attic, documenting fires back to the late 1800s.

The Central Station was built in 1899, the oldest of three stations in Dover. The hard-cover ledgers were wrapped in newspaper.

Fire Chief Richard Driscoll tells Foster’s Daily Democrat he’s contacting family members of some of the fire-

fighters mentioned in the records. The books list all department employees and every call they went on at the time.

Included in the books are facts on some of the city’s biggest fires, including ones at the Mill Building on Washington Street and at City Hall. A Fourth of July fire in 1893 was started by “boys playing with matches” and other materials.

Trees cleared for open tolling on I-93 HOOKSETT — Department of Transportation crews are clearing the way for open tolling in Hooksett, which will allow E-ZPass drivers to go through tolls at highway speeds.

Crews have been removing trees and brush on state-owned land along

the Interstate 93 toll plaza in in preparation for construction.

Twelve acres of land need to be cleared for the project.

The DOT hopes to have the new toll plaza open by the end of June 2013.

N.H. poison control hotline in jeopardy CONCORD — Mothers, doctors, school nurses and others who rely on New Hampshire’s poison control hotline in emergencies will have to turn elsewhere if funding isn’t found to keep the line open after July 1.

Karen Simone, director of the Northern New England Poison Center, said Tuesday that $600,000 is needed to keep the line open in New Hampshire. She said federal Homeland Security funding that has

been used can no longer be used for the service. She said Vermont and Maine are not affected because those states pay for their hotlines with state or other money.

New Hampshire’s Department of Health and Human Services has told the center it does not have the money.

Simone said hotline supporters are trying to secure funding before July 1, but nothing has materialized.

THE CONCORD MONITOR

“My friend, you need to sit on your carpet now.” The student teacher’s voice was sing-song cheerful, but she directed her preschool charge to right where his bottom needed to be.

“My friends,” she continued, addressing the group.

“My friends,” she said again a few minutes later.

The student-teacher was a junior in the teacher preparation class at Concord Regional Technical Center.

Saying the same phrase over and over again is something her own teacher will note and remind her not to do.

The reminder might sink in, but it might not.

It sank in for Alicia Brown, a senior in the program, after she got the chance to watch herself on video teaching a lesson. She noticed she too said the same phrase over and over to her toddler charges.

“It gets repetitive, and the kids stop hearing you,” Brown said. “It’s one of those stupid mistakes I won’t make anymore.”

Next year, all of the students in the program will have the chance to watch themselves on tape, after the center installs $16,000 worth of video and audio equipment in corners around the preschool classroom.

“There’s only so much you can capture with words. When the students see themselves, it’s so much more powerful. You notice all the little things,” said teacher Val Flanders.

If all goes according to plan, Flanders will be able to give each of her 65 students a DVD at the end of the year, showing them teaching lessons in September, and documenting their growth and improvement throughout the year.

The cameras are also an accommodation to budget cuts from last year, when the program lost a full-time teacher.

Flanders and the other teacher would split the high school students into two groups. Her group would be in the traditional classroom for two weeks while the other worked with the toddlers, observed by the other teacher, then the groups would switch.

The students still move back and forth, but Flanders is the only teacher now. Preschool teacher Jen StrongRain supervises and helps evaluate, but Flanders works with half the older kids, gives them an assignment, then hustles across the hall to the preschool to observe the group that is student-teaching that week.

“It’s been an adjustment. You do miss some things, pieces of their growth,” she said.

The videos will let her see every minute of teaching and write more thorough and accurate reviews, she said.

The money for the cameras, and some work on the HVAC system, new computers and furniture for the center’s graphic arts program and equipment for some of the other classes, will come from a fund established by some of the tuition students from other high schools pay to attend the Concord center.

The fund has a balance of $470,000 this year, and the Concord School Board approved the plans to spend about $190,000 this summer.

The changes are a step toward a philosophical overhaul of the center, said director Steve Rothenberg.

“We want it to not look like a school, but an industry training center,” he said. “You don’t walk into an auto dealership training room and have traditional high school desks. We want it to be all on par with the industry.”

The Creative Monopoly

As a young man, Peter Thiel competed to get into Stanford. Then he competed to get into Stanford Law School. Then he competed to become a clerk for a federal judge.

Thiel won all those competitions. But then he competed to get a Supreme Court clerkship.

Thiel lost that one. So instead of being a clerk, he went out and founded PayPal. Then he became an early investor in Facebook and many other celebrated technology firms. Somebody later asked him. “So, aren’t you glad you didn’t get that Supreme Court clerkship?”

The question got Thiel thinking. His thoughts are now incorporated into a course he is teaching in the Stanford Computer Science Department. (A student named Blake Masters posted outstanding notes online, and Thiel has confirmed their accuracy.)

One of his core points is that we tend to confuse capitalism with competition. We tend to think that whoever competes best comes out ahead. In the race to be more competitive, we sometimes confuse what is hard with what is valuable. The intensity of competition becomes a proxy for value.

In fact, Thiel argues, we often shouldn’t seek to be really good competitors. We should seek to be really good monopolists.

Instead of being slightly better than everybody else in a crowded and established field, it’s often more valuable to create a new market and totally dominate it. The profit margins are much bigger, and the value to society is often bigger, too.

Now to be clear: When Thiel is talking about a “monopoly,” he isn’t talking about the illegal eliminate-your-rivals kind. He’s talking about doing something so creative that you establish a distinct market, niche and identity. You’ve established a creative monopoly and everybody has to come to you if they want that service, at least for a time.

His lecture points to a provocative possibility: that the competitive spirit capitalism engenders can sometimes inhibit the creativity it requires.

Think about the traits that creative people possess. Creative people don’t follow the crowds; they seek out the blank spots on the map. Creative people wander through faraway and forgotten traditions and then integrate marginal perspectives back to the mainstream. Instead of being fastest around the tracks everybody knows, creative people move adaptively through wildernesses nobody knows.

Now think about the competitive environment that confronts the most fortunate people today and how it undermines those mind-sets.

First, students have to jump through

ever-more demanding, preassigned academic hoops. Instead of developing a passion for one subject, they’re rewarded for becoming professional students, getting great grades across all subjects, regardless of their intrinsic interests. Instead of wandering across strange domains, they have to prudentially apportion their time, making productive use of each hour.

Then they move into a ranking system in which the most competitive college, program and employment opportunity is deemed to be the best. There is a status funnel pointing to the most competitive colleges and banks and companies, regardless of their appropriateness.

Then they move into businesses in which the main point is to beat the competition, in which the competitive juices take control and gradually obliterate other goals. I see this in politics all the time. Candidates enter politics wanting to be authentic and change things. But once the candidates enter the campaign, they stop focusing on how to be change-agents. They and their staff spend all their time focusing on beating the other guy. They hone the skills of one-upsmanship. They get engulfed in a titfor-tat competition to win the news cycle.

Instead of being new and authentic, they become artificial mirror opposites of their opponents. Instead of providing the value voters want — change — they become canned tacticians, hoping to eke out a slight win over the other side.

Competition has trumped value-creation.

In this and other ways, the competitive arena undermines innovation.

You know somebody has been sucked into the competitive myopia when they start using sports or war metaphors. Sports and war are competitive enterprises. If somebody hits three home runs against you in the top of the inning, your job is to go hit four home runs in the bottom of the inning.

But business, politics, intellectual life and most other realms are not like that. In most realms, if somebody hits three home runs against you in one inning, you have the option of picking up your equipment and inventing a different game. You don’t have to compete; you can invent.

We live in a culture that nurtures competitive skills. And they are necessary: discipline, rigor and reliability. But it’s probably a good idea to try to supplement them with the skills of the creative monopolist: alertness, independence and the ability to reclaim forgotten traditions.

Everybody worries about American competitiveness. That may be the wrong problem. The future of the country will probably be determined by how well Americans can succeed at being monopolists.

City Manager Patrick MacQueen suggested the proposal be reviewed with the city attorney to see if Berlin has the authority to enact such an ordinance.

Morency also outlined fees for other services provided by the department – some are increases in existing fees while others are new fees. He admitted he was hesitant about charging longtime taxpayers for services that may represent their only interaction with the department. Morency said he also does not want to discourage the public from calling the department for public safety and emergency needs.

The new fee schedule, which the coun-

cil approved, sets the following fees: landlord-tenant eviction notices, $30 each; accident and call for service cards, increase from $15 to $20; civil standbys (to retrieve property), $150; unlocking vehicles, $20; VIN checks, $15; and fingerprinting, $15 to $20.

Based on 2012 statistics, Morency projected the new fee schedule could generate about $23,000 in new revenue.

But he warned the new fees and ordinance would also require some police resources including added billing and increased court time. Grenier suggested the council be conservative with the revenue projections for the fees and estimate $15,000 for the fiscal 2013 budget.

DORVAL from page one

School Board Chair Nicole Plourde thanked Dorval for her service and the “thoughtful and informed “ work she did on the board. The board voted to accept the resignation with regret.

Superintendent of Schools Corinne

Cascadden informed the city council of the resignation Monday night. She noted it was a tough time to have a vacancy on the board with the city in the middle of budget deliberations.

Under the city charter, the council is charged with filling vacancies on the school board.

Two New Hampshire survivors of sudden cardiac arrest, Craig Evans (l) and Matt Keene (r) recently addressed those attending the New Hampshire Heart Ball in Windham about the importance of bystander CPR and having automated external defibrillators (AEDs) available in public places. It was an AED donated to Raymond High School by Matt Keene’s foundation that saved Evans’ life when the basketball referee collapsed during a game last year. Ward Hamilton, vice-president of ZOLL Medical Corporation, a sponsor of the event, presented each survivor with a ZOLL AED Plus® to donate to a charity of their choice.

Morency Trucking, Excavating & Paving, LLC continues to be competitive BERLIN -- In the spring of 2011 Patrick Morency decided to expand his snowplowing and trucking business into a local paving business.

Berlin no longer had a local paving business and Pat decided to fill that niche. A friend, David Normand, who had 30 plus years of experience offered to lend a hand as an employee to the paving business. Pat’s brother Paul, who due to MS, could no longer work full-time contributed his years of experience with an excavator. Pat’s family jumped on the bandwagon with financial assistance, as needed.

Together they got the business going.

The Berlin Water Works Dept. needed someone to pave streets which had been dug up. Morency Trucking, Excavating & Paving, LLC, offered a successful bid and paved some streets in Berlin. Simultaneously, the Wind Farm Construction in the 13-Mile Woods was in full progress. They needed dump trucks to help build roads. Morency Trucking, Excavating & Paving, LLC, was there until com-

pletion in the late fall of 2011. Local people in the Berlin and Milan area needed driveways build and/or paved.

Again Morency Trucking, Excavating & Paving, LLC, was there to provide services and work.

In this second year of business they have seen increases in the cost of asphalt from the Pike Industries Asphalt Plant due to the inflation in oil prices. Fuel, tires, and everything construction have become targets of the increasing oil prices. Tightening their belt, Morency Trucking, Excavating & Paving, LLC feels that they can continue bidding at last year’s pricing to be competitive. They pride themselves in doing a good job for their customers. As Pat would put it, “We don’t just make your driveways black! We do a job that will last for years to come!” the Morency crew from owner to employees pride themselves in doing a good job! That is Pat’s motto and goal. They are there to fulfill your needs. Give them a call at 603-752-4244.

Paul Salek, 9, of Milan, with Lucille Norton, widow of the late Don Norton, won “a Pipe Organ Encounter with Dr. Susan Ferre,” at his audition for the Donald W. Norton Scholarship, held at the studio of Andre Belanger of Berlin on April 14. .

(GAIL SCOTT PHOTO) SCHOLARSHIPS from page one

Spring Fling Ladies Night basket packed with goodies from: Betty Dee Fashions - earrings; Curves –1 free month membership; David Lee Mountain Studio - Yankee candle potpourri; Gill’s - $25 gift certificate for fudge; Greetings Jewelers - energy bracelet; Hot Bodz - 5 tanning sessions; Inner glimpse - tote bag and scarf; Maureen’s - 12 tanning sessions; Middle Earth - scarf; Osmosis - $25 towards any service; Skinplicity - stationary and journal; Suzanne Tilden - 15 min chair massage; Tea Birds - $20 gift certificate; Toni’s Pizza - $10 gift certificate; Ubuntu Healing LLC - 1 free hypnotherapy session as well as gifts from SaVoir Flare, Morin’s Shoe Store and Rumorz.

Wood has studied the piano for nine years.

In his application for the scholarship, Wood told the audition committee that his goal is to play for the Mass “on the great organ that is available” at “St. Anne’s.”

“I will have achieved my goals when I can play that organ better than I can play the piano now,” he wrote. For his audition he played Prelude in C-sharp minor by Sergey Rachmaninoff and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. In addition, he sight-read a piece selected by the audition committee.

Paul Salek, 9, of Milan, demonstrated great charm at his audition, playing Sleepy Witch, Dona Nobis Pacem, and a sight-reading piece. He has been awarded “a Pipe Organ Encounter with Dr. Susan Ferre.” Ferre is, at present, the organist at the St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Berlin. She is known throughout the musical world for her work on the organ and baroque keyboard instruments and her sensitivity as a choral director. This experience will give Salek a chance to talk with Ferre and to explore the several different kinds of organs that exist in the Berlin area. Both award winners are expected to continue their piano lessons as well.

A third candidate, Luis Cardenas-

Keenan Wood, 15, of Berlin, winner of the Donald W. Norton organ Scholarship, with Lucille Norton, widow of the late Don Norton. Wood earned the $300 scholarship (for a minimum of six organ lessons) at an audition at Andre Belanger’s studio in Berlin on April 14. (GAIL SCOTT PHOTO)

Ossorio, was unable to attend the audition as he was singing with Berlin High School’s Shockapella group which was performing out of town on April 14.

He is expected to audition for a second round of the Norton Scholarships in October.

Judges in the competition included Lucille Norton, widow of Donald W. Norton; Sally Tourangeau; Angela Brown and Gail Scott, the last two both members of the Music in the Great North Woods board.

These scholarships were made available through Music in the Great North Woods, a non-profit organization.

The scholarship was established to honor the memory of Donald W. Norton, who died last winter. He was the organist of the Berlin United Church of Christ for many years and was passionate about the organ and its literature. He was actively involved in seeing to it that the organ arts continue in Berlin long after age-issues forced him to stop playing the instrument himself.

To contribute to the on-going Norton Scholarship Fund, or to make application for organ study, contact Music in the Great North Woods, 290 Gorham Hill Road, Gorham, NH 03581, www. musicgnw.org, email: info@musicgnw. org, 603-326-3242 or contact Angela Brown at 603-723-8238.

Smiling and excited, the children’s choir at St. Paul Church took a moment recently to pose for a picture. Dressed in their newly refurbished red robes, the children surrounded Pastor Gail Bauzenberger just before the Easter service. The choir performed an acapella arrangement of fun new songs of thanks and praise they have learned these last few months. Choir members include front row (l-r) , Owen Poisson, Aric Huter, and Isaac Langlois. Back row: Matthew Laflamme, Rachel Sturtevant, Alexia Bourque, Noah Wyatt, Kloey Cooney, Pastor Gail Bauzenberger, Cora Huter, Ella Richards, Katie Laflamme, Julia Langlois, and Ella Poisson.

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You know enough to continue a project on your own, and yet you do what only the truly savvy would do: ask for more opinions and information. The more you learn the better your work will be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You don’t usually need a lot of outside motivation, but occasionally it makes all the difference. This is one of those occasions. You’ll do your best when you’re with someone who inspires you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Even though your to-do list is approximately a zillion items long, you’re able to approach things with a jovial, funloving mood. It takes a high level of emotional intelligence to maintain this stellar attitude.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You like getting feedback because you know it helps you improve in ways you couldn’t have seen on your own. Being able to accept feedback and use it constructively gives you an advantage over your competition.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be near someone you admire, and you’ll take notes, probably without realizing it.

You’ll learn from this person’s mannerisms and approach to life, but mostly you’ll absorb the general essence of this person.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 25).

Enjoy all the fawning and presents you get today! Through the next six weeks, you’ll be recognized for your unique qualities and truly novel approach to relationships. You’ll bring zesty energy to your work and be noticed and promoted for this. Improvements in your health and fitness happen through June and July. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 20, 5, 16 and 32.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Living large is a frame of mind, as well as a matter of economics. Adventures aren’t cheap, but you’ll continue on because you have a feeling that in the end, the experience will be worth the cost.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are creative, and your whims will bring magic into your world. So dare to take a flight of fancy. You’ll wind up in a fascinating place because you went off on this tangent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Let people know how you really feel. Be specific. Expressing yourself in euphemistic terms won’t communicate what you need from others. Exactness gets your needs met.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you believe about life may be true, and it may not be true. Either way, those beliefs are essential to your daily actions, habits, behaviors and attitudes. Decide which beliefs are getting in your way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t always feel the need to take full credit for the marvelous outcomes you create.

Sometimes you even give others more credit than they deserve in order to raise morale. This will be one of those times.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re slightly concerned about getting your work done in a timely manner, and friendly distractions abound. Don’t let your worries get the best of you or make you edgy. All will unfold perfectly when you relax.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll have a vivid vision of what your life should be, taking into account your desires and inclinations. This may be the idealized version, but it’s certainly something to shoot for.

DAUGHTER ASKS IF PHOTO ALBUM SHOULD COVER ALL OF DAD’S LIFE

DEAR ABBY: My father is turning 60 this year, and I want to make him a photo album with pictures from throughout his life. However, Dad is widowed and remarried, so I’m having a hard time deciding what to do with respect to my mother.

They were married 25 years before she died, and they loved each other very much. They raised two children together, and she was an important part of his life.

At the same time, I have a feeling that including pictures of Mom may upset my stepmother. While I am not close with her, I don’t want to intentionally hurt her feelings. What should I do? -- LAURA IN ST. LOUIS DEAR LAURA: You’re asking an intelligent question and I commend you for your sensitivity. If the photo album is intended to be a surprise for your father, consider talking to your stepmother about the idea. It will give you an indication of how such a gift would be perceived by her.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 24 and love my parents. Mom confided to me that she has been seeing a high school flame behind my father’s back. She claims she loves this man and said she has slept with him, but she doesn’t want to leave the security my father provides for her. She swore me to secrecy about her affair.

Meanwhile, my father has started talking to me about their marital problems. He doesn’t understand why Mother isn’t happy. I feel like I should tell him, but that would betray my mother. At the same time, not telling him what I know is betraying him. What should I do? -- CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE DEAR CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE: Your parents should not be confiding their marital difficulties to you. They should attempt to resolve them by communicating with each other -- preferably with the help of a licensed marriage counselor.

That your mother would turn you into a co-conspirator in her affair is despicable. Give her a deadline to level with your father or tell her that you will. He deserves to know the truth.

DEAR ABBY: I have fallen in love with a very special woman. She happens to be my daughter-in-law’s mother. We are very happy together, but our children are extremely upset about this. My son and her daughter no longer speak to us at this point.

I feel it’s my life and I shouldn’t live it for the kids, nor would I want them to live their lives for me. Is it wrong for me to be with her, or are the kids overreacting? -- IN LOVE IN KENTUCKY DEAR IN LOVE: The “kids” are overreacting, and they shouldn’t be trying to blackmail the two of you into doing what they prefer. It IS your life, and just as you wish your son and daughter-in-law every happiness, they should be doing the same for you. This situation is not as unusual as they think, and they should not be judging or punishing you, because you are doing nothing wrong.

DEAR ABBY: I married “Darrel” six months ago. It bothers me that he wears a silver bracelet from a relationship that ended five years ago. He claims that if I were to wear a piece of jewelry from my first marriage, it wouldn’t bother him as it is “just jewelry.” How do you feel about this? -- BOTHERED IN DAYTONA BEACH DEAR BOTHERED: What I feel about this is not important; it’s how YOU feel. If your husband’s wearing the bracelet is a constant, irritating reminder that he was involved with someone else, he should remove it because it isn’t “just jewelry” to you. And your feelings should be more important to him than the bracelet, don’t cha think?

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

Berlin girls tennis team falls to Gilford

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GILFORD--The Gilford girls’ tennis team came out strong and went on to beat the Lady Mountaineers 3-6 on Wednesday in Gilford.

The loss was the first of the season for Berlin.

In Singles, top seeded Mountie Al Aldrich beat Charalyne Corsack 8-5, Kathryn Record lost a closely contest 6-8 decision to Charelyn Panner, Miriam Arsenault beat Gilford’s Olivia Corsack 8-5, Berlin’s fourth seeded senior Emily Plourde lost Lindsay Corsack 4-8, #5 seed Erin McGinnis was shut out by Sarah Anderson 0-8, and freshman Emma Dorval lost to Emily Hand 2-8.

Trailing 2-4, the Lady Mountain-

Perreault and Thagourus blast homers

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN--Senior pitcher Megan Hood fired a no-hitter and teammates Carly Perreault and Liz Thagourus belted home runs, helping the Lady Mountaineers to 7-0 victory over Littleton in Berlin Friday.

Hood actually sent notice to the Crusaders in the first inning that it was going to be a long day for their hitters. The hard throwing lefty had four strikeouts in the first inning, with Littleton #3 hitter, Julia Winn, reaching first base on a missed third strike.

The Mountaineers got all the runs they would need in the bottom of the first inning. There was two out when the red hot hitting Erin Holt smacked a double. Littleton pitcher Chynna Lowe got ahead of Berlin clean-up hitter, Carly Perreault, one ball and two strikes. After fouling off a couple of tough pitches, Perreault got the count to three and two. Lowe grooved the full count pitch and Perreault sent it over the centerfield fence for a 2-0 lead.

The Berlin girls plated five runs in the bottom of the third inning. Holt started things with a single and it was duplicated by Perreault. Kyanna Lefebvre followed that with a walk to load the bases. Mountie outfielder Morgan Boucher came through with a ringing double to plate two runs for the home team. Mountie junior, Liz Thagourus, followed that with a three run homer to push the Berlin lead to 7-0.

Defensively, Hood over powered the Lady Crusaders. Hood struck out 15 Littleton batters and walked just three in earning the no-hitter.

Littleton reached second base twice, however they didn’t hit a ball out of the infield all game long. Littleton’s Kristi Wilson had the hardest hit ball of the game for the visitors, coming

in the seventh inning. First baseman Morgan Ouellet gobbled up the grounder recording the next to last out of the contest. The Crusaders’ final batter struck out, only fitting on a day that was dominant for the Berlin hurler.

Littleton’s Lowe surrendered 10 hits to Berlin. Lowe walked four and struck out three. The Crusader defense made some strong plays defensively in the fifth and sixth innings to keep Berlin from scoring any more runs.

The win moved the Mounties to 3-1 on the year. Berlin will travel to Winnisquam on Wednesday and take on the undefeated Bears.

On a side note, Berlin senior, Erin Holt, has been on a tear to begin the season and is currently hitting .770 (10-13) on the spring.

eers needed to sweep the doubles matches. Unfortunately, Gilford had other ideas. Top Berlin duo Al Aldrich and Emily Plourde were beaten by Charalyne Corsack and Charelyn Panner 0-8, Kathryn Record and Miriam Arsenault beat the Eagles’ Corsack sisters 9-7, and Mounties Emma Dorval and Karli Lacasse fell to Anderson and Hand 1-8.

Berlin coach, Patty Hood, had a few comments after the game. “Very good Gilford team. They have very solid seeded players. Al Aldrich had an excellent match. It was exciting to watch.”

The Berlin girls will not get much of a break. It’s right back on the road Thursday, traveling to Kearsage High School

Gorham boys pummel Panthers, 20-1

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM--The Gorham boys’ baseball team took advantage of a Pittsburg team that was without ace pitcher, Travis Chase, and scored twenty runs on seventeen hits, in a one-sided 20-1 Division IV boys baseball victroy over the Panthers in Gorham Friday.

The Huskies rode the three hit pitching of sophomore pitcher Brian Veazey. Veazey lost his bid for a shut out in the fourth inning when he was touched up for the lone unearned Pittsburg run. Veazey walked three and struck out eight in his five innings of work.

There were many contributors to the Huskie offense. Pat Pike scored three times, Sam Jensen had three hits and scored three times, Jake St. Hillare had a pair of hits and two RBIs, Cody Gauthier continued his torrid hitting adding two more hits to his growing seasonal total, Veazey, Brady Fauteaux, and Brett Labnon had a hit each.

The big offense came off the bat of Tyler Sanschagrin. Sanschagrin had three hits and three RBIs. One of the hits was an inside the park homerun.

The Huskies also got some good offensive help from their bench.

Sophomore Sam Ouellette had two hits and two RBIs and freshman Ben Bowie had a walk and a hit and scored both times.

“We hit the ball all over the place,” said Gorham mentor Pete Girouard. “If we can continue hit the ball where it is pitched and not try to pull everything, we are going to score a lot of runs.”

The Gorham boys elevated their record to 3-1 on the young season.

The Huskies travel to Lincoln on Wednesday for their first two games on the road.

Lady Mountaineer netters bounce back

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

SUTTON--Any thought of the Berlin girls’ tennis team thinking about their first loss of 2012 on the previous day was quickly erased by their players. The Lady Mountaineers got solid play from all of their seeded players and defeated Kearsage 8-1 in Sutton on Thursday.

In singles, Al Aldrich defeated Ashley Mellen 8-2, #2 seed Kathryn Record silenced Kearsage’s Alicia Souliotis 8-0, the very steady Miriam Arsenault bested Georgia Souliotis 8-2, senior Emily Plourde was victorious over Bri Macquire 8-2, fellow senior Erin McGinnis dominated Katie Paquette 8-2, and freshman Emma Dorval bested Emily Irich 8-4.

Leading 6-0, Berlin cruised through their first two doubles matches and got some playing time for two new players. Top duo Al Aldrich and Emily Plourde beat Alicia Souliotis and Georgia Souliotis 8-0, Kathryn Record and Miriam Arsenault shutout Macquire Paquette 8-0, Berlin’s Desirae Jackson and Ashley Bruns fell to Kearsage’s Irich and Duquette 7-9.

Berlin coach Patty Hood was very happy with the quick rebound by her Lady Mountaineers. “Great way to rebound after the Gilford lost. The very good play allowed us to get a first varsity start for Desirae Jackson and Ashley Bruns.”

The Berlin girls will get the vacation week off to practice their skills.

They’ll return to action on April 30.
