Early morning shooting in Lancaster leads to discovery of three bodies

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LANCASTER -- Three people are dead as a result of early morning chaos in Lancaster on Tuesday, April 17. Police were called to 43 Wesson Road at 3:05 a.m. when a 911 caller reported a man being shot.

That man, David Collins, 44, who lives at the residence, is the only one of the three deceased of whom officials have identified.

Two other people are known to be dead, but neither police nor the State Attorney

General’s office is releasing their identities or details of their deaths.

In an afternoon press release, New Hampshire Attorney General Michael A. Delaney, New Hampshire State Police Colonel Robert Quinn, and Lancaster Police Chief John Gardiner announced that an investigation is ongoing into the homicide of Collins.

Senior Assistant Attorney General Janice Rundles said late Tuesday afternoon that the other two bodies were discovered

after police responded to the initial call.

A pick-up truck was discovered to be on fire at a nearby location, she said, though would not confirm if the bodies were inside the burning truck. She also would not give the address where the truck was found, only saying that it was “fairly close” to the Collins home. The manner of death for the two found at that location was not immediately known. A motive for the three deaths was also not immediately known.

informed it was effective immediately. The employees were then escorted out of the plant.

In a press release, the company said increasing fuel prices and transportation costs made it no longer viable to justify shipping product in and out of Berlin.

Car-Freshner said its Berlin employees can relocate to either of its plants in DeWitt, Iowa, and Watertown, N.Y., and

the company will subsidize the employee’s relocation. Those who chose not to relocate will be given a severance package equal to six months pay.

Diana Nelson, business services representative at N.H. Employment Security, said the closing of the plant was unexpected.

“It was a shock to all of us,” she said.

Council discusses recycling again

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – The city council has focused a lot of attention lately on recycling efforts in the city and the issue was front and center again at Monday’s work session.

Mayor Paul Grenier invited the two Public Works foremen and two representatives of the union representing public works to discuss the topic. The mayor said he invited Public Works foremen Lucien Couture and Gary Roy and union stewards Ron Lemoine and Mark Lapointe because he wanted input from those actually doing the work.

The result was a different perspective on the topic and a commitment by the union to implement a new recycling initiative.

Couture told the council the current policy calls for the solid waste crew to pick up see RECYCLING page 5

Woman, 87, survives 2nd twister

WOODWARD, Okla. (NY Times) — On April 9, 1947, Wilma Lake was alone in her apartment when a tornado swept through this rural town in the dark of night. She survived — crouching beneath a table — but many of her neighbors did not. That tornado killed at least 107 people in and around Woodward and destroyed more than 1,000 homes and businesses in what became the deadliest twister to strike Oklahoma.

For Lake, then a 23-yearold office assistant, life went on: she would soon become Nelson, marrying Eldon Nelson, who was known as Bud, and raise three children.

Early Sunday morning, shortly after midnight, Nelson, now 87, was home alone again, on the city’s west side, in the house on Robin Drive, when an alert came over her weather radio warning of a tornado spotted a few miles outside town. Barefoot and in her pajamas, she stood inside a small closet in the master bedroom, trying to get her son’s dog, a tan-and-white cocker spaniel named Sugar, in with her. Sugar refused, so Nelson shut the door.

“It was so fast,” she said. “I hadn’t been in there anytime at all until it was like a bomb went off. I guess it was the roof blowing off.”

As happened 65 years ago, Nelson survived, uninjured, even though a piece of wallboard fell on her head.

And this time, six of her neighbors died.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Secret Service has uncovered evidence that all 11 personnel under investigation for alleged misconduct with prostitutes in Colombia before President Obama’s arrival there for a summit meeting last weekend had taken women to their rooms, Representative Peter T. King, the chairman of the House Com-

mittee on Homeland Security, said on Tuesday.

Investigators for the Secret Service in Colombia are seeking to interview the women, King said, adding that the agency had copies of their identification cards, which they were required to leave with the hotel before going into the rooms. He said that additional Secret Service personnel had been dispatched to

Colombia to conduct interviews and that the Colombian government was “not being unhelpful” with the investigation.

“The 11 agents are having different recollections about what happened or are not telling the truth,” said King, who was briefed on the investigation on Tuesday morning by the head of the Secret Service, Mark J. Sullivan.

In testimony, Norwegian says he would kill again OSLO (NY Times) — Demanding his acquittal, a self-styled anti-Islamic militant on trial for killing 77 people in Norway’s worst peacetime atrocity took the stand for the first time on Tuesday, describing the deaths as “the most spectacular sophisticated political act in Europe since the Second World War” and saying he would do it over again.

The defendant, Anders Behring Breivik, 33, spoke after judges permitted him to read from a prepared statement that some Norwegians feared was little more than a manifesto to propagate xenophobic and far-right views. The authorities had already ruled that his testimony would not be broadcast live.

The testimony — on the first of five days allocated

to Breivik to testify in an effort to justify his demand for an acquittal — offered Norwegians in the courtroom a chance to hear him personally address the tangled, unsettling and sometimes contradictory reasons he had advanced for the bloody attacks.

In some ways his appearance offered a marked contrast to that of the figure in dark, police-style clothing who carried out the attacks on July 22, 2011, with ruthless indifference to the mayhem around him. Sometimes rattled and breaking into perspiration, a vein throbbing in his right temple, Breivik characterized some of his previous remarks as pompous but did not apologize or show remorse.

DURHAM, N.C. (NY Times) — It is tax time, the season when the country’s largest antipoverty program, the earned income tax credit, plows billions of dollars into mailboxes and bank accounts of lowincome working Americans. It is the most important financial moment of the year for many people in the bottom half of the wage bracket, a time to pay off old bills, make car repairs, buy children clothes and maybe make a big purchase like a refrigerator or a TV. As incomes among the country’s lowest wage earners continue to stagnate, the credit has played a critical role in smoothing the hard edges of an unforgiving labor market for the country’s most vulnerable workers and helping stem the tide of income inequality that has been rising among Americans in recent decades.

Nearly one in five filers now receive the credit — about 28 million returns in the 2010 tax year, the most recent year figures are available — representing the highest percentage since the program began in the 1970s, according to the Brookings Institution.

AG: This has been House majority ‘a difficult month’ leader scolds Lynch

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Wednesday, April 18, 2012— Page 3

BY MATTHEW SPOLAR

CONCORD — The state attorney general said Tuesday that he is concerned by the recent trend of gun violence in New Hampshire.

After a relatively quiet start to the year, the Attorney General’s Office has been called to investigate four homicides in less than a week.

“There’s no question that this has been a difficult month for the whole state, particularly for the law enforcement community and their families,” said Attorney General Michael Delaney.

As New Hampshire prepares to honor fallen Police Chief Mike Maloney and those wounded in last week’s shootings at a drug raid in Greenland, the attorney general’s office continues to investigate the shooting of Manchester police Officer Dan Doherty, who was shot several times while chasing a suspect on March 21.

Delaney said the cases are piling up.

“The Attorney General’s Office and state police have responded to homicides in Claremont, Chesterfield,

Dalton and suspicious deaths potentially in Lancaster today,” he said.

Delaney said a particularly troubling trend has been the apparent willingness by some to engage law enforcement officers in gun violence.

He said the trend isn’t unique to New Hampshire.

“So we really have to look at that carefully to make sure as a state and as a nation we are doing everything possible to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our police officers,” he said.

Delaney said that despite the danger that goes with the job, state and local police officers are doing all they can to protect Granite Staters.

“These law enforcement officers are continuing to show up every day in uniform to protect us and to keep our streets safe,” Delaney said.

Delaney said that statistically, New Hampshire is still one of the safest states in the country, and he said the police are a big reason why.

Warrant shows police shooter sold drugs PORTSMOUTH — A warrant affidavit unsealed Tuesday shows that a man who killed a police chief and shot four officers was suspected of selling prescription drugs.

The warrant allowed officers in a drug task force to search the home of Cullen Mutrie in Greenland last week.

Mutrie shot and killed Chief Michael Maloney and wounded four other officers as they attempted to search his Post Road home Thursday.

The bodies of Mutrie and Brittany Tibbetts were later found inside the home. They had been shot.

According to the search warrant affidavit, police said they believed they had probable cause as of April 9 to search the home, saying they believed Mutrie and Tibbetts were committing the crime of conspiracy to possess controlled drugs with the intent to distribute.

Police said in the warrant that a source told them in January that Mutrie and Tibbetts were dealing more than 500 oxycodone pills every few days out of the home.

Investigators had the source set up a drug buy with Tibbetts, in which she sold 10 oxycodone pills, according to the affidavit.

Undercover detectives performed surveillance on the house in March and saw cars coming and going from the residence, the affidavit showed. One of the cars was registered to a woman

who had been charged in North Hampton with transporting drugs.

On April 9, police said, a car was parked in the driveway that was registered to a man with convictions of possession with intent to sell and possession of controlled drug in Sarasota, Fla. According to the affidavit, neighbors told police in February 2011 that they believed Mutrie was selling drugs in the house, with one neighbor saying that Mutrie was once heard yelling into the phone, “How much for an ounce?”

Postal workers also reported that a lot of packages were delivered to the home from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. According to the affidavit, the packages all had similar handwriting on them and weighed 5.5 to 9 ounces each.

Police went to the home on July 24, 2010, for a report of a domestic disturbance and an assault. Mutrie was arrested and ordered to give up any firearms. A search of the house turned up a scale and vials of a controlled anabolic steroid, which can be abused to gain muscle mass, according to the affidavit.

Two officers are still hospitalized as a result of the shootings, but their conditions were upgraded to good and they were no longer in the intensive care unit as of Tuesday.

A memorial service for Maloney is planned for Thursday.

THE CONCORD MONITOR

House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt responded sharply yesterday to Gov. John Lynch’s use of the word “absurd” to describe a position taken by some House Republicans on school funding, and he called on the governor to round up support from fellow Democrats to pass a long-sought constitutional amendment.

“You assured us of your commitment to play a positive role in this process, but to this date it seems that your negative comments about members of my caucus have been your only contribution,” Bettencourt, a Salem Republican, said in a letter to Lynch.

At a meeting of the Portsmouth Rotary Club on Thursday, Lynch said, “There are some members of the House who believe the state shouldn’t have any responsibility for public education.”

“That’s absurd,” he said, according to the Portsmouth Herald.

Bettencourt said the comments are “not only unhelpful and uncivil but are detrimental to the success of an amendment,” which Lynch and Republican lawmakers are seeking to undo a state Supreme Court decision and allow the Legislature to target funding to needy school districts.

Lynch did not back down from his remarks. He has repeatedly said a constitutional amendment that lacks an assertion of the Legislature’s responsibility in education funding will not have his support. Many Democrats opposed to the amendment fear it could allow lawmakers to reduce or eliminate school funding.

“The governor has said, and continues to believe, that it’s absurd to say the state has no responsibility for education,” Colin Manning, Lynch’s spokesman, said yesterday in a statement. He added that the governor “has spoken with Democratic and Republican lawmakers about the importance of such an amendment, and he will continue to do so.”

Though Lynch does not have veto power over a constitutional amendment, his approval is seen as critical to win over two-thirds of voters who must support the amendment on the ballot in November. Before being placed on the ballot, the amendment must pass by a three-fifths majority in the House and Senate. After years of failed attempts, the House passed a school funding amendment in 2011, but it did not say the Legislature would be responsible for funding education.

In February, the Republican-controlled Senate passed a Lynch-endorsed version of the amendment with the word “responsibility” included. Last month, House Speaker Bill O’Brien, a Mont Vernon Republican, told reporters he did not have enough support in the House’s dominant Republican caucus to pass the Senate amendment and asked Democrats to help.

“The speaker has a 3-to-1 majority in the House,” Manning said. “If he can’t get the votes for an amendment that the Senate and the governor have embraced, then that would be very unfortunate.”

Bettencourt told Lynch that House Democrats must contribute two to three dozen votes to pass an amendment.

“I do not see a viable path toward successfully achieving an amendment with components of your preferred language if you are unable to make an effort to deliver some level of House Democrat support,” Bettencourt wrote. “Without this contribution, I do not believe we will be able to gather the 239 House votes needed to pass the amendment.”

Bettencourt said Lynch has “preached throughout your tenure as Governor about the importance of bipartisanship and setting aside partisan differences.”

“Let us put those ideals into practice by placing an amendment on the ballot this November and standing united in our support,” Bettencourt wrote. “Time is running short and New Hampshire needs this amendment and it needs it this year.”

Boys’ basketball team did us proud To the editor: It has been over a month since the Berlin High School boys basketball team captured the state title in Division III, at Southern New Hampshire University.

I would like to first congratulate the team and second to congratulate the Berlin fans.

I was never so proud to see over 1,000 fans turn out for the game, they not only came from Berlin and the North Country, which was a 135 mile trek, but many were transplanted Berliners from the seacoast area, the Concord area, the Manchester area and beyond. I talked to many people from the New England states that traveled to Manchester to witness the game.

These same fans have seen many BHS basketball teams fall a little short at UNH, Plymouth State University or Southern New Hampshire University, in state tournaments, but not on this day. I believe the Berlin fans were the sixth man throughout the game and when the final buzzer went off the emotional display of the fans is

something I’ll never forget.

I bought a tee shirt after the game for $20.

It has “Berlin High School Division III Champions 2012”, on the front, with the coach and players name on the back I put it on and wore it on my return to Berlin. My friends and retired former school employees Greg Kolinsky, John Donaldson, Stan Ouellette, Gerry Poulin, Frank Bruni, Ed Drew, and many more have been sitting behind the Berlin bench for many years cheering on the team and we were finally rewarded for the first time.

It has been 72 years since Berlin High won a state basketball title. Bill Kolinsky and his teammates won the last state title in 1940.

I would like to congratulate coach Don Picard, his assistant Dave Morrisette, and super scout Mark Tilton along with the players for a job well done.

I have sent a donation to BHS, the team wants a ring instead of the traditional jacket to mark the occasion.

The White House Argument

I’ve been critical of President Obama’s budgets. I’ve argued that while I like the way Obama preserves spending on things like scientific research and programs for the vulnerable, he doesn’t do enough to avoid a debt crisis.

I’ve based that argument on certain facts. President Obama’s 2013 budget will add roughly $6 trillion to the nation’s debt over the next 10 years. By 2022, Americans will be spending $915 billion on interest payments on the debt alone, a number far larger than that year’s entire defense budget.

If you look further out, the situation is worse. According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, by 2050, Representative Paul Ryan’s budget would cut total public debt to 10 percent of G.D.P. Current law would put debt at 42 percent of G.D.P. Under the Obama budget, debt would skyrocket to 124 percent of G.D.P. Extremely senior members of the administration believe these sorts of criticisms are completely unfair and vastly underestimate their fiscal hawkishness. In this column, I thought it only fair that I provide you with a summary of their arguments.

First, their goals. They argue that it’s foolish to try to solve the debt problem with some drastic magic bullet all at once. It’s smarter to stabilize the debt while also looking after other needs, like protecting the vulnerable and investing in things that boost growth and mobility.

They argue that the president’s 2013 budget is a step toward fiscal stability that will also pave the way for bigger steps in the years ahead. They estimate that their budget would produce $5 trillion in budget savings over a decade. It would raise $1.5 trillion in new revenue by raising taxes on those making more than $250,000 a year.

There would also be a broad range of spending cuts. These include the $1.7 trillion in cuts the administration agreed to in the budget deals with Republicans over the summer, and several others (including the somewhat gimmicky $617 billion “cut” by not fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for another decade). Further, the president is parsimonious when it comes to domestic spending. The White House has prepared a series of charts to illustrate the administration’s fiscal discipline. The most interesting concerns domestic discretionary spending, which is spending on things like education, welfare and social support.

Going back to 1962, domestic spending has hovered around 3.3 percent of G.D.P. In bigspending years (the Jimmy Carter years), it rose to about 4.4 percent. In low-spending years (Ronald Reagan’s and Bill Clinton’s second terms), it fell to about 2.9 percent of G.D.P. During Obama’s presidency, domestic spending topped out at 4 percent of G.D.P. But, in the Obama budget, over the next 10

years, that spending would fall to 2.2 percent, much lower than anything Reagan achieved. Under Paul Ryan’s budget, by the way, that spending would fall to 1.8 percent, which the Obama administration regards as savagely low.

These officials say the administration has also made modest but important progress in controlling Medicare spending, the biggest debt driver. The budget raises some Medicare premiums on high-income retirees and increases some deductibles. White House officials say they have taken enor-

Basically, what we’re looking at is a period of stability, administration officials say, which would soothe credit markets and give us time to make further adjustments. This, they conclude, is responsible prudence. mous heat from the left for putting some structural Medicare reforms on the table — cutting benefits, raising eligibility ages and changing cost-of-living adjustments.

Republican leaders, they point out, have not done anything that brave.

Over all, they continue, the president’s budget stabilizes the debt in a way that is relatively gimmick-free. Annual federal deficits, which are at about 8 percent now, would come down to around 3 percent between 2015 and 2022.

The total federal debt is now at about 74 percent of G.D.P. Under Obama’s plan, it would rise to 78.4 percent of G.D.P. in 2014 and then stabilize at about 76.5 percent from 2018 to 2022.

Basically, what we’re looking at is a period of stability, administration officials say, which would soothe credit markets and give us time to make further adjustments. This, they conclude, is responsible prudence.

I’m not going to pass my own comprehensive judgment on this here. I’ll just say that my conversations reaffirm my conviction that Obama is a pragmatic liberal who cares about fiscal sustainability, who has been willing to compromise for its sake, but who has not offered anything close to a sufficient program to avoid a debt crisis.

But we have a campaign in front of us. If the president is truly committed to a strategy for progressive fiscal stability, as Bill Clinton was, he’ll make that the center of his campaign. He’ll earn a mandate. He’ll win over independents who want fiscal discipline but worry about the way Republicans get there.

If he doesn’t have a passion for fiscal stability, he’ll campaign on side issues and try to win by scaring everybody about the other side.

We’ll see.

Senior Assistant Attorney General Janice Rundles speaks with reporters during a late afternoon press conference in Lancaster following an early morning incident that claimed three lives. A homicide investigation is underway in the death of David Collins, 44, of 43 Wesson Road. The names, gender, and manner of death of the remaining victims were not disclosed. (MELISSA GRIMA PHOTO) SHOOTING from page one

Rundles said that there had not been stand-off, but the State Police tactical team had been “believed to be needed” and was therefore called to the early morning crime scene. She would not elaborate on the reasons that law enforcement believed the tactical team might have been necessary.

State Police SWAT units appeared to have left the scene just before 11 a.m.

No one was taken into custody and Rundles said police have no reason to believe there is a shooter on the loose.

Rundles said Wesson Road remained closed as of 5 p.m. Tuesday, and both addresses are considered active crime scenes with the two events being

investigated as related crimes, though law enforcement is still looking for connections.

Autopsies will be scheduled for Collins and the two as yet unidentified bodies. Rundles said that more information would be forthcoming after the autopsies. For now, authorities are attempting to locate the “presumed next of kin” for the unidentified bodies and Rundles said that if the victims are who authorities think they may be, Collins and the two other deceased persons would have known each other.

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY – Local law enforcement officials will be joining thousands of their brethren in paying tribute to Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney who was killed in the line of duty last week.

“It’s just a horrible tragedy,” said Berlin Deputy Chief Brian Valerino.

Valerino said he, Police Chief Peter Morency, and Lt. Dan Buteau will attend today’s wake. A police walk-through will be held from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Remick & Gendron Funeral Home in Hampton. Valerino said the number going to Thursday’s memorial service at Winnacunnet High School athletic field is uncertain but said Morency will be CAR-FRESHNER from page one

Nelson said Car-Freshner has been a solid employer throughout the economic downturn until two months ago when it closed its second shift and laid off 24 people.

“When everyone else was laying off, they were still going strong,” she said.

Nelson said the state’s Rapid Response team will be holding a meeting at the Bistro at White Mountains Community College at 10 a.m. Thursday for Car-Freshner employees.

Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier called the news a blow to the city but vowed Berlin will double its efforts to create new jobs.

“It’s a pretty significant setback. But you just have to keep plugging away. We have to move forward,” he said.

The closing of the Car-Freshner plant follows the

The lis is long. Good things are: Silver, jewelry, home decore, candles and oils, fairies, gargoyles and dragons, ethnic, stained glass, tapestries, art prints, men stuff and lingerie, women’s home companions and unmentionables! Unusual varied gifts to please a nun to a pole dancer, a stoner to a banker! In, short, we’re a fun shop with a flavor of a country store on acid. And the public seems to like it! 752-7400.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis don’t have to worry about what your loved ones will say about you when you’re not there. People will be as loyal to you as you are to them. Your reputation is growing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The day starts off scattered, but your mind will get extremely focused once you complete a ritual to focus it. The ritual could be as simple as writing down your top aim and then giving yourself a timeframe in which to accomplish it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll get the vague notion that something needs to be done, followed by a strong instinct as to precisely what that is and who should do it. It’s likely that the “who” is you!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll be good at the games that get played regularly in your circle. Some of these are actual competitions with rules. Some of them are subconscious games to establish social order.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Wanting and needing to make a change won’t inspire you as much as physical and mental discomfort will. It’s only when your comfort zone becomes a discomfort zone that you will be inspired to make the change.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 18).

The world seems to know that you’re serious about getting what you want.

You’ll assert yourself and watch the doors open wide. Your strongest financial opportunities come this month and next. Someone falls for you and falls hard. You’ll bond with people you trust in July and possibly start a business together. Aquarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 1, 28 and 18.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Ask for advice and opinions, but don’t be too quick to incorporate everything you hear. Don’t change your ways just to get the right response. You know more than you think you know.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you listen closely, you’ll find that people will tell you who you are. They may not even realize they are doing it, but they feel a need for you to be who they want you to be. Resist. Take the time to decide what you think.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A solo effort will be brilliant. You’ll be surprisingly comfortable addressing the needs of the day alone. Maybe you’ll even try harder because you’re not relying on others.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can feel good about many of the things you’ve done in your life. Mentally scan through some of your history, and you’ll bring a wave of happy contentment upon yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The authority figures in your life are losing their influence over you. By what standard would you judge your own success if you didn’t have the example put forth by your parents, your boss or anyone else?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll love the way another person sees you. It changes who you think you are, inspires arduous feelings in you and raises you to a state of complete enchantment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s not enough just to mention what you want.

You’ll have to bring it up again and again so that people remember. They want to help you, but you have to teach them how.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

by Abigail Van Buren

DAUGHTER PROBABLY REALIZES MOM NEVER WANTED HER AROUND

DEAR ABBY: My youngest daughter, “Lizzy,” the sweetest and most conscientious of my children, has been cut off yet again by her mother, “Ruth.” Ruth pressured Lizzy to graduate from high school a year early because she couldn’t date with a child still at home. (Her words.) After graduation, Lizzy was shipped off to another state for college, then abandoned to find her own funding for continued education.

Lizzy feels unwanted by her mother and desperately wants to know why. The truth is, Ruth didn’t want that pregnancy in the first place and has held it against Lizzy. The deeper truth is I wanted another child and deliberately got Ruth pregnant. I never told anyone, even after Ruth divorced me several years later. As far as I know, she has always accepted it as accidental.

What I did was wrong, yet I can’t imagine a world without my daughter in it. Lizzy is the only one of my children who has become close to me since the divorce. The others all believe their mother’s lies about me -- that I cheated on her, which is the opposite of what really happened.

Should I share the truth about her birth with my daughter? I’m not sure because I have always believed it is a major mistake to admit to a child of any age that their pregnancy was a surprise, let alone that it was unwanted. Two of my siblings weren’t planned, and one of them has become a bitter and distant adult. I want to help my daughter understand and accept her mother’s insane actions and get on with her own life. What should I do? -- GUILT-RIDDEN DAD DEAR GUILT-RIDDEN: Lizzy already has a pretty good idea that she wasn’t wanted, and I wouldn’t be surprised if her mother hasn’t told her she was a “surprise” baby. Do not try to expiate your feelings of guilt by telling your daughter what you have told me. That is a discussion you should have

with your confessor, not your child.

It may take a therapist to help Lizzy forgive her mother and get on with her life. What you should do is pay for at least half of her therapy and contribute toward her education.

DEAR ABBY: My son was recently diagnosed with bone cancer and is currently receiving treatment. We heard about a fundraiser for pediatric cancer being held in our community.

We joined the event and have received many donations from family and friends.

As much as I want to hand-write thank-you cards, between his treatments, my work schedule and my other kids I can’t find the time. Is an email thank you OK? The donations have all been made online. -- WANTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING DEAR WANTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING: I know you are under a lot of pressure right now. However, please refrain from expressing your gratitude by email. Send short, handwritten, personal notes -- a few at a time -- to those who gave money, as your schedule permits. It is the proper thing to do, and they will be appreciated.

DEAR ABBY: For decades I have been told I look like my mother. The problem is, my mother is ugly! I no longer respond to the comment, preferring to remain silent and just stare at the person instead.

Abby, please remind people that unless the comparison is to an attractive model, opinions should be kept to oneself. -BEAUTIFUL IN MY OWN WAY, RICHMOND, KY. DEAR BEAUTIFUL IN YOUR OWN WAY: I’ll remind them, but it’s possible that you’re overly sensitive. The person could be referring to a family resemblance, your coloring or a mannerism. A diplomatic response would be, “Thank you. Isn’t she a dear?”

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

vehicles.

Grenier said he liked the idea of the city doing a special pick-up of bulky items one Friday a month on a fee basis. He said residents could call and a Public Works crew would pick up items like furniture or big appliances. He said the city could charge $10 for a stove or $30 for a refrigerator, which requires special handling.

City Manager Patrick MacQueen said residents who didn’t want to pay could take the items to the transfer station on their own.

MacQueen noted some of the stuff will still end up at the Mount Carberry landfill.

Lemoine suggested the city pick up cardboard from residents one Friday a week. He said the city currently picks up cardboard from businesses on Fridays.

Couture and Roy also said it would help if residents sorted recyclables into separate containers instead of putting them all in one. The

Heavy Equipment

pair noted public works employees have to sort the items out and there are times when broken glass is mixed in with other recyclables. Couture said some people use the recycling bins for household rubbish, which he said has lead to some complaints that recyclables are being thrown into the solid waste compactor.

Councilor Roland Theberge said fluorescent bulbs and ballasts should not be thrown out in household rubbish because they contain mercury. He said they should be taken to the transfer station.

Theberge said the ordinance also states people are not supposed to put out garbage before 7 a.m. on the day of pick-up. MacQueen agreed that a lot of people put their garbage out the night before. Roy said enforcement of that regulation rests with the police department.

Public Works Director Mike Perreault said he believes most people in the city want to recycle – a view held by the public works representatives.

There was general agreement on the need for an education campaign.

Councilor Peter Higbee suggested putting a committee together to work on the recycling project. Grenier said Remillard, Perreault, and MacQueen have been working on it. He suggested a representative from public works and the union joins the three.

Grenier said he had planned to roll out the new recycling campaign in July but said he believes it will take until Sept. 1 to get all the pieces in place.

He stressed that the council will have to back public works employees in implementing the new program. He warned there will be phone calls from residents.

But the mayor said he believes the city can easily save $100,000 by increasing recycling.

Lemoine said Local 1444 is more than willing to implement whatever plan the council puts forward.

BY JEAN LEBLANC

fourth inning for Berlin, reaching on an error and scoring on a Richard hit.

Gorham cut their deficit to just two runs, at 6-4 in the bottom of the fourth inning. Gauthier singled and sophomore Brady Fauteux walked. Veazey’s grounder was too hot to handle and misplayed and the Huskies had the bases loaded. Junior Brett Labnon worked his at-bat for an RBI walk. Tyler Sanschagrin then unloaded a bomb to deep left center field. However, Berlin’s Jewett got a good jump on it and made a spectacular running catch and limiting Fauteux to score on the tag up. Jewett saved a couple of runs with that catch.

The Mounties put RBI hits together in a row in the top of the fifth inning off of Huskie starter Pat Pike.

Tyler Reed, Lemoine, Bacon, and Richard all had RBI hits and pushed the Berlin lead to 10-4.

Labnon came through for Gorham in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Huskie DH plated both St. Hilare and Gauthier to get the Gorham defict to four runs at 10-6. The up-rising came off of new Berlin pitcher Zach Bacon who was on in relief of Trevor Leborgne.

Gorham tabbed Veazey to come in and try and keep the Berlin offense quiet. The young lefty got through

the sixth inning. However, Bacon was up to his old tricks in the top of the seventh inning. Bacon ripped a double, stole third base and came home to score on the over throw. It was quite a productive day for the Berlin senior.

Bacon settled in on the mound for the Mountaineers. In the bottom of the seventh, the Gorham boys went down on two ground outs and a strike out.

For the game, Berlin lashed out 14 hits off the Gorham pitching staff. Bacon had three hits and team mates Richard, Leborgne, Boucher, and Lemoine added two each. The Huskies had ten hits off the Berlin. Gauthier had three hits, with Pike and Labnon stroking out a pair.

The Huskies will return to the diamond on Wednesday, playing host to a very good Littleton squad. The Berlin boys will travel to Bristol NH to take on the Newfound Bears.

GORHAM-- Berlin High lead off hitter Zach Bacon swatted out three hits, knocked in three runs, and scored four times, leading the Mountaineers to an 11-6 win over the Huskies in Gorham Monday.

Bacon started things with a deep triple to right field and later scored on a Connor Jewett base hit for a 1-0 lead.

Gorham responded by scoring in the bottom of the first inning. Jon Chabot drew a two-out walk and scored on Cody Gauthier’s RBI hit.

The Mounties scored four runs in the top of the second inning. Three straight singles by Brad Boucher, Jeremiah Pinette, and Mike Lemoine loaded the bases for Berlin. Bacon knocked in two with a hit and consecutive sacrifice flies made Ryan Richard and Curtis Arsenault put the visitors on top 5-1.

Gorham’s Brian Veazey stroked a deep double to left center field to lead off the bottom of the second inning. Veazey scored on a Tyler Sanschagrin sacrifice fly to make it a three run contest 5-2.

Arsenault hurls Mounties to 2-1 win over Belmont –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN--Senior Curtis Arsenult allowed one hit in six innings pitched, helping the Mountaineers to a 2-1 victory over Belmont in a game played in Berlin Friday.

The game stayed scoreless through the first three innings, as Arsenault and Raider pitcher Brett Spaulding kept their opponents off the score board.

Belmont scored their only run in the top of the fourth inning and it was of the unearned variety. Wilder reached base on an error. A stolen base and wild pitch later, he was standing at third base just 90 feet away from scoring the first run of the contest. Arsenault struck out a hitter and then walked the next. Belmont first baseman Cole Pedilla hit a sacrifice fly and the visitors had a 1-0 lead.

In the top of the sixth inning, the Berlin coaching staff opted to have junior Trevor Leborgne come on to pitch. Leborgne did not give up a run which allowed Berlin to make some noise in the bottom of the sixth inning.

After one out, senior Zach Bacon walked and Ryan Richard followed with a hit. Both runners stole a base, putting runners in scoring position.

Arsenault helped his own cause by hitting a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 1-1. Leborgne followed that with an RBI hit giving the home team a 2-1 lead.

Berlin brought Arsenault back on to try and close out the contest. Arsenault walked the first hitter he faced.

However, with the very next hitter, the Berlin defense came up huge turning a nifty 5-4-3 double play. After another walk, Arsenault got the final out on a fly ball to center field, giving the Mounties a 2-1 win.

Berlin girls thump the Raiders, 12-1

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN--Berlin catcher Carly Perreault scored three times, shortstop Erin Holt had two RBI hits, and pitcher Megan Hood allowed just one run in the game, helping the Lady Mountaineers to a 12-1 victory over Belmont in Berlin Friday.

The visitors got their only run of the game in the top of the first inning off of Hood. Two infield hits and a pair of walks forced in the run for Belmont.

The Berlin girls responded by plating two runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning. Kelly Dube walked and moved to second on a pass ball and to third on Hood’s ground out.

Perreault’s hard hit ball to shortstop was too hot to handle and that scored Dube. Perreault made it 2-1 on Erin Holt’s double to right center field for Berlin.

Berlin pushed across an unearned run in the bottom of the second inning. Junior Morgan Ouellet walked and eventually scored on a Belmont miscue for a 3-1 lead.

Belmont mounted a scare in the top of third inning. Two walks and an infield hit loaded the bases with one out. Berlin’s Holt made a defensive gem in the inning on a grounder and then throwing a strike to force a runner at the plate. Hood then took a liner back through the middle to end the threat from the Raiders.

The Lady Mountaineer bats came alive scoring three runs each in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, making it a long day on the hill for Belmont’s

Kim Allen. Rachel Thompson and Holt had RBI hits in the fourth inning, Liz Thagourus walloped a two-run double in the fifth inning, and Ouellet an RBI hit in the sixth inning. That made the final score 12-1.

Hood silenced the Belmont offense over the final four innings, allowing just two hits over that span. For the game, Hood allowed one run, six hits (five infield), walked five, and struck out six in earning her first win of 2012.

Belmont’s Allen surrendered nine hits to the Berlin bats. The righty walked four and got little defense as the raider infielders committed five miscues. Holt was the only repeat hit getter, owning a double, a single, and walking two times.

The win was the first for new Berlin see BERLIN page 19
