CONCORD – The N.H. Public Utilities Commission late yesterday afternoon issued granted conditional approval to a proposed purchase power agreement between Public Service of N.H. and Laidlaw Berlin BioPower/Berlin Station.

The PUC said it found the agreement as filed not in the public’s interest. It noted the PPA could cost as much at $2 billion over its 20 year term.

But the agency said it “would, however, approve a modified PPA complying with certain conditions that mitigate risk to PSNH’s default service customers and reduce total payments to see APPROVAL page 10

Child Advocacy Arson suspected as cause of Glen Road fire Center seeks to raise awareness about child abuse

LANCASTER— The Child Advocacy Center hopes to bring the issue of child abuse to the forefront and show people that it’s preventable.

This month, the Coos County Child Advocacy Center is dedicated to help raise awareness about child abuse, and show the community that it can help prevent it. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Representatives from the C.A.C. handed out blue ribbons Friday night and Saturday at WalMart, in Gorham, to raise awareness about child abuse.

C.A.C. Executive Director Andrea Gagne said the center wants to show people that the community can join together to help prevent child abuse. She added awareness is key to meet this goal.

“We’re really dedicated to the mission of the C.A.C. and helping to protect the children and see AWARENESS page 10

GORHAM— Authorities are still investigating the cause of a fire at a vacant Glen Road building though have determined it was incendiary in nature.

Fire Chief Rick Eichler, of the Gorham Fire Department, said the specific cause is still unclear but the fire Saturday morning at 2 Glen Rd., is being considered an arson. The Gorham Police Department is handling the investigation into the suspected arson.

Eichler said the fire started in closet in a first floor bedroom in the vacant building.

The design of the building cause the fire to quickly spread from the first floor to the attic, said Eichler. He added this made the fire more difficult to fight.

The balloon construction of the building allowed the fire to chase up the walls into the attic since there

aren’t any fire stops within the building, said Eichler.

In order to fight the fire, he added, crews had to cut a hole in the attic walls along the ceiling.

There was no power going into the building, said Eichler.

The fire was reported at 6:48 a.m., and heavy smoke and flames were showing from the building when the fire department arrived on the scene.

Most of the crew cleared the scene around 10:30 a.m., though Eichler said the last person left at 2:30 p.m. He added people stayed on the scene waiting for the N.H. Fire Marshal’s Office to responded and then secured the building, which has reportedly been vacant for nearly a year.

The Berlin Fire Department, Gorham Emergency Medical Services and the G.P.D. assisted the G.F.D. at the scene.

Board approves plans for silos at Pike Industries

BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM— Pike Industries received approval Thursday night to construct two 74 foot silos at its Gorham site.

The Gorham Planning Board reviewed the site plan for the two silos during its meeting last week and approved the plan. The board questioned representatives from Pike Industries to see if the proposed silos

would create an additional nuisance to residents in the area of the plant.

The board raised the issues of noise, dust levels and truck traffic after several residents attended the zoning board meeting to bring up these concerns.

Ryan Crosbie, of Pike Industries, said the silos shouldn’t create any additional nuisance at the plant.

“I don’t think the noise level will be any worse than see SILOS page 5

Vinyl gets second life NEW YORK (NY Times) — In an industrial and uninviting stretch of Brooklyn, near several strip clubs and a factory that makes electrical tubing, Thomas Bernich’s small plant recycles vinyl and preserves a fading piece of history.

Recycled vinyl before it is turned into a record at Brooklynphono, in Sunset Park.

In fact, Mr. Bernich’s workplace in Sunset Park is one of the few of its kind in New York City and in the country.

Inside the one-story, redbrick factory on 42nd Street, boxes of discarded albums from used-record stores are piled high on wooden pallets, awaiting their end and a new beginning.

The records are tossed into a large shredder to start the process of putting music on them again. The used vinyl is eventually fed into a press that creates new albums. “Taking rotten milk and breathing new life into it is not an easy thing,” Mr. Bernich said.

Mr. Bernich and the five employees at his company, Brooklynphono, have preserved the craft of applying music to vinyl.

Mr. Bernich stumbled into the record business after he realized that his talent for sculpture, which he studied at the Pratt Institute, could probably not support a career. But while at Pratt, Mr. Bernich, 40, started collecting records, inspired by a friend’s passion for vinyl.

“

The four building blocks of the universe are fire, water, gravel and vinyl.”

Storms leave path of death, damage

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

RALEIGH, N.C. (NY Times) — The reality of the devastation of a storm that sent more than 200 tornadoes ripping across the South, killing at least 45 people and causing millions of dollars in damage, began to sink in Monday morning.

In North Carolina, where the storm killed at least 23 people and put hundreds in the hospital, federal and local emergency workers were fanning out to the areas hardest hit and residents were scrambling to figure out how to help their neighbors or,

for the dozens who lost their homes, how to start over.

In the Raleigh area, the police kept residents from a mobile home park with about 200 homes where three young siblings were killed. In sections of this city of about 400,000, several major buildings were damaged and several schools and government offices were closed for the day. Traffic into downtown Raleigh was snarled.

In rural areas, downed cellphone towers and severed utility lines were likely to hamper

clean-up efforts.

The storm, which began Wednesday in Oklahoma and charged east for the rest of the week, brought winds as high as 165 miles per hour and spread challenging weather from New York to South Carolina.

Gov. Bev Perdue of North Carolina, who said she was nearly in tears touring damaged areas Sunday, said she had been in contact with President Obama and anticipated that a federal state of emergency would be declared by week’s end.

Radiation levels too high for workers in Japan TOKYO (NY Times) — Robots deployed inside two reactors at a Japanese nuclear plant overrun by last month’s devastating tsunami have detected radiation levels too high for workers to enter, posing immediate challenges for a new plan to bring the ravaged complex under control by year’s end.

Workers have not been able to enter four of the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant since the early days following the March 11 quake and tsunami, which knocked out vital cooling systems at the plant and sparked hydrogen explosions at four of the plant’s six reactors, blowing off their roofs and littering the site with radioactive debris.

On Sunday, two robots made their way into two of those reactor units, opening doors, navigating radioactive debris and puddles of water to return with readings of temperature, pressure and radioactivity. The readings, released Monday, showed continued high radiation readings inside the reactors, ravaged in the March 11 quake and tsunami.

At Unit 1, robots detected radiation of up to 49 millisieverts per hour, while at Unit 3, the reading came to 57 millisieverts per hour. But far higher readings in recent weeks have come from areas where contaminated water have accumulated, like the turbine building at No. 2, where experts say the reactor pressure vessel may be cracked and leaking nuclear material.

SANA, Yemen (NY Times) — Opposition leaders from Yemen said on Sunday that they planned to travel to Saudi Arabia later in the day to discuss an agreement with the Gulf Cooperation Council on a timetable for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to leave office.

Separately, on Sunday afternoon, security forces opened fire on protesters who were marching through Sana, the capital, according to witnesses. At least 15 protesters were shot, according to doctors at a makeshift clinic at the main gathering area for protesters at Sana University.

The protesters were trying to march to the house of Mr. Saleh’s son, Ahmed, a leading military commander whom it is believed the president wanted to be his successor. The protesters had marched about a mile from the main sit-in area at the university, and witnesses said they were less than a quarter mile from the house when security forces fired tear gas and live ammunition.

It appeared to be the largest such march yet outside the demonstration area in the capital.

6-year-old and grandfather injured in motorcycle crash FREMONT — A 6-year-old girl and her grandfather were injured when the motorcycle they were on was hit head-on by a car driven by a man police said was drunk.

Thomas Grenier, 47, of Epping, was arrested and charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated. Police said his car crossed the center line and struck the motorcycle.

“It’s a senseless accident because the operator of the car was intoxicated,” said Fremont Chief Neal Javrin.

Javrin said Joseph Therrien, 51, was taking a leisurely ride on his motorcycle with his granddaughter Sunday afternoon. They were traveling east on Chester Road about 5:30 p.m. when the crash occurred.

Grenier was arrested at the scene of the crash.

“He didn’t negotiate the corner at

all,” Javrin said. “He just went straight, right across the road and into them.”

Javrin said the injuries weren’t lifethreatening but were serious. Therrien was taken to Exeter Hospital with chest, back and leg injuries. His granddaughter was flown to Boston Children’s Hospital with a serious broken leg. Both remained hospitalized Monday evening.

Javrin said Grenier called 911 and tried to help the victims. Javrin described him as remorseful, but said that doesn’t change the seriousness of the charge.

“There’s no excuse for drinking and driving, and if you are going to drink and drive, you should be arrested,” Javrin said.

Grenier was released on bail and is scheduled for arraignment on June 1.

Public college presidents warn budget cuts would hurt students CONCORD — The presidents of New Hampshire’s public colleges and universities told state senators Monday that going along with the House plan to cut their state funding by 45 percent would make higher education unaffordable for many students and put a significant dent in the state’s economy.

The University System of New Hampshire currently gets about $100 million per year from the state, which is spread among the University of New Hampshire, Plymouth State University, Keene State College and Granite State College. Gov. John Lynch has proposed cutting the annual appropriation to $95 million, while the House-passed budget would cut the total to $55 million, a return to 1992 funding levels.

The current appropriation “is New Hampshire’s recognition that our democracy and our economy will depend on accessible, affordable public education,” said Sara Jayne Steen, president of Plymouth State.

“Higher education both benefits the economy and transforms lives. In return on investment, education creates more value than it costs.”

UNH President Mark Huddleston said he expects to end up with less than the governor’s proposal, but that the House plan would threaten the university’s effort to transform itself and remain affordable. Spurred by projections that show the average New Hampshire family spending 75 percent of its disposable income to send a child to UNH 10 years from now, the university has been making changes in how, what and where it teaches. Those and other changes take time, he said.

“The House’s proposed cuts are so disproportionate and so drastic that they would threaten the ongoing trans-

formation at UNH just as it is taking hold,” he said. “I am asking that you provide UNH with the support we need to complete our metamorphosis.”

Outside the Statehouse hearing room, students chanting “Keene State matters!” nearly drowned out the officials speaking on their behalf. Inside, several of the presidents had students stand silently one by one in the audience while they described how the students would be affected by the proposed cuts. For example, Kattey Ortiz, of Salem, is among 44 percent of students at Keene State who are the first in their families to attend college, but she fears she won’t be able to return in the fall because she relies heavily on financial aid, Keene State president Helen Giles-Gee said.

“The most important reason why a 45 percent cut is too extreme is that it will rob New Hampshire students of the opportunity to better themselves and their communities,” she said.

Others highlighted the university system’s economic impact on the state, which is estimated at $2 billion annually, and argued that supporting higher education is critical to providing the state with the skilled workforce it needs.

“There is no doubt that the quality of the higher education system is directly related to the success of the business community,” said Rich Ashooh, a former USNH trustee and executive with defense contractor BAE Systems.

Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Morse, of Salem, indicated senators aren’t looking to cut as deeply as the House but said it isn’t fair for university officials to blame the Legislature for all their troubles given that state funding makes up a small percentage of the overall university and college budgets.

Instead of complaining, let’s do something To the editor: I was born and raised in the Berlin/Dummer area. So I know this area well. In my seventy plus years of living here nothing has changed very much especially the people. Just how long are you going to sit back and be taken advantage of. I’m talking bout the gas, heating oil, and food prices. It cast so much more this side of the notch than the other side.

Why? We pay anywhere from $.20 to $.30 more a gallon than the rest of the state.

Figure 10,000gallon tanker at $.30 a gallon, nice profit to bring it up over the notch.

Listening to the news there is no shortage. It’s just speculation on what might

happen that brings up the prices.

So instead of just complaining about the prices on the gas let’s do something.

People need two vehicles during the week to go to work , but on the weekend park one and use just one.

Instead of gassing up at the higher priced pumps because its convenient to buy the little necessities. Gas up at the lowest priced pumps.

Give them the business and let the higher priced one sit on their gas. They will go down because their product will spoil. By cutting on the usage and getting the lowest price win, we all wil win.

Sincere thanks to those who helped us To the editor, This is a letter of thanks and appreciation going out to a host of friends, neighbors, and community members who came together to help in a time of need.

Back in mid-March, two households in the village of Shelburne lost their water supply. The system in place is a little atypical: a mountain spring fills a reservoir and gravity draws the water through pipes buried in a hand-dug trench to the two residences.

The reservoir was checked and found to be full. However, the filter on the end of the feed pipe was missing.

It was thought possible that debris was pulled into the pipe and a clog was prevent-

ing the flow of water.

Equipment was brought in, a pump was purchased, and the difficult task of draining the reservoir began.

The plan was to back-flush the line in hopes of dislodging the clog. Unfortunately, this did not work. We feared that there was damage somewhere along the way between the reservoir and the two houses. More plans were made to start digging this very long length of pipe.

On day three of this ordeal, we were blessed to have some information passed on to us and the cause of the problem was discovered. On the same day that we lost water, excavation had been done on property where our see THANKS page 5

Naked Aggression

Nobel Peace Prize winner President Barack Obama should be impeached immediately then prosecuted for war crimes for making unprovoked war on Libya in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution, in abuse of the limited War Powers Resolution of 1973, and in violation of international law prohibiting the unprovoked invasion of sovereign nations.

During his campaign for president, constitutional scholar Obama stated unequivocally and in writing: “The President does not have the power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”

The Constitution specifically reserves the following powers exclusively to Congress: “To declare War … make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; To raise and support Armies…; To provide and maintain a Navy; To make Rules for….. the land and naval Forces; To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions; To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia…” and so on.

Libya did not attack the United States; Libya is not a threat to the United States.

The pretext of “humanitarian intervention” is a transparent big lie.

If his humanitarian pretext was sincere, where’s our war criminal president’s similar concern about the killing of innocent civilians in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Palestine, Bahrain and Somalia, most of where he already has civilian blood on his hands? How protected do you think innocent civilians in Libya feel when the missiles and bombs we’re dropping on them are tipped with depleted uranium?

To understand how absurd on its face this pretext is, imagine if instead of the United States, it was Iran that invaded Libya. Do you think anyone would blindly accept that its credible intention was the humanitarian protection of civilians solely or at all?

Why hasn’t our news media reported that hundreds of U..S, British and French military “advisors,” including intelligence officers and special forces were dropped from warships and missile boats at the coastal towns of Benghazi and Tobruk on Thursday, Feb. 24 for a covert mission that included co-opting the uprising, organizing locals into paramilitary units, teaching them how to use the weapons they captured from Libyan army facilities, providing military and combat training and preparing infrastructure for the intake of additional foreign troops? (www.debka.com/ article/20708).

As recently revealed in the New York Times, the leaders of the “freedom-loving” rebels are directly supported American puppets who co-opted and empowered the fledgling rebellion, and appear to have in fact fomented and organized it to begin with. Just as in Iraq, we have our ‘Ahmed Chalabi’ in place to take over as soon as we overthrow Qaddafi. (http:// www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/03/26/111109/ new-rebel-leader-spent-much...)

These facts alone alter the whole complexion of this enterprise rather dramatically, don’t you think?

As an interesting footnote, why do the rebels in Benghazi use as their flag the red, black and green banner with the crescent and star (the flag of the monarchy of King Idris)

which symbolized the rule of the former colonial powers? Couldn’t the CIA’s graphics dept at least design them their own flag? I guess they thought we wouldn’t notice.

Of course, our true objective of invading Libya is not the propaganda canard of establishing democracy or saving civilian lives, but twofold: 1. To take possession of Libya’s oil and gas reserves and transfer its wealth (including 3.5 percent of the world’s oil reserves, more than twice that of the United States) into foreign hands. For more on this see: (www.globalreasearch.ca/index. php?context=va&aid=23605) 2. with Libya one of the last sovereign nations (along with Syria and Lebanon) not under our domination in the Mediterranean, and Qaddaffi having refused to join our “Mediterranean Dialogue,” NATO’s “Partnership for Peace” and/ or the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), the United States is vitally interested in toppling and dominating Libya to cement its imperial grip on the region. (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=23940) And don’t forget the billions of dollars of Libyan assets in deposited in Western banks that the United States and its confederates plan to steal.

The U.S. dollar is the world’s reserve currency. If Libya wants to sell its oil to other nations it is obliged to accept payment in U.S. dollars. So the United States recently placed hard sanctions on Libya prohibiting any trade in U.S. dollars in anticipation of this planned invasion. Now international banks refuse to exchange U.S. dollars with Libya so they can’t sell their oil except via limited back channels, thus putting a severe squeeze on their economy. (http://af.reuters.com/article/ energyOilNews/idAFLDE7271YJ20110308).

Our repeatedly tried and proven playbook for conquest, now being reprised in Libya is: 1. Destabilize the nation’s economy; 2.

Foment tribal, ethnic and/or sectional strife via provocateurs, puppets and false-flag operations; 3. Inject disinformation, propaganda and psy-ops directed within the country and to the outside world, especially in the United States; 4. covertly support with arms, money and training, then install and recognize our puppet(s) as our new “democratic partners.”

Sound familiar? Light the fuse, get away fast, use under adult supervision, right?

Further evidence of advance invasion planning is the fact that financial institutions which had prior knowledge or intelligence of events in Libya have already made billions of dollars in speculative gains in the futures and options markets for crude oil. Advance knowledge of political or military events and how they affect markets combined with manipulation and/or control of financial news relevant to these events are indispensible to this investment racket.

It should come as no surprise that powerful institutional speculators on Wall Street with links to the U.S. military and intelligence establishment are raking in billions of dollars in speculative gains not only in the oil market but also in the commodity and foreign exchange markets.

Whatever one thinks about the policy of destabilizing, invading and stealing the resources of sovereign nations, it is illegal, unconstitutional and a war crime. Our congressional representatives, as corrupt as most of them may be, are being denied their see AGGRESSION page 5

advocate for children of the community,” said Gagne. She added the center is dedicated to educating people and eliminating child abuse in Coos County and around the state.

To further that goal, Gagne said the C.A.C. is looking to start more education and outreach programs in the county’s schools, with law enforcement and local communities.

Child abuse is a stigmatized issue, said Gagne. She added people know it’s going on but don’t really talk about it often.

Children are the most important part of the community, said Gagne, yet also the most vulnerable.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis they must be very special for you to trust them with intimate knowledge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The meal always tastes better when you’re hungry. This principle applies to your life today in ways that are not related to food. You’ll do something because you want to and for no other reason.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Pick up the phone -- it’s your magic portal to the life you want. Call friends and strangers alike. Make your pitch.

Talk about what you want. You’ll schmooze your way into a sweet deal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You sense what’s on the horizon for your group. Also, you get the feeling that you can do what others cannot. It’s why you should take the lead. You’re more qualified than you think.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be met with a completely new circumstance. This fresh challenge jolts all of your senses wide-awake. And though you may not be sure how to handle it, you’ll learn as you go.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your approach may be contrary to the one that is popular, and that’s precisely why you’ll succeed. You’ll stick out in a very positive way. You’ll quickly gain mass favor.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 19).

This year you’ll go where you couldn’t go before. A skilled diplomat, you’ll make friends in high places and enjoy exclusive and expensive arrangements.

Events in June lead to advancement of your social and financial plans. You’ll have an opportunity to improve the life of a friend or family member. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 20, 1, 24 and 19.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Be bold, and don’t look back. You’ll still get the lesson. Your subconscious mind is processing everything you’ve done, even when your conscious mind hasn’t gotten around to it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It bothers you when you know you have yet to win someone over -- but it shouldn’t.

Not everyone is winnable. Concentrate on those who are responsive to you, and you will prosper.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will play a game that looks easy but isn’t at all. Talk to someone who knows this game better than you do. Also, you are wise to respond to feedback, both verbal and nonverbal.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This is neither the best circumstance you could have hoped for, nor the worst you’ve seen. Before you go to extremes, determine what is necessary. Appropriately moderate action will bring you success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even the very best ideas wear thin at some point.

The law of diminishing returns sets in, novelty wears thin, and efforts lose their initial “wow” factor. If you know when to quit, you’ll go out on top.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will make a memorable impression when you concentrate your efforts. Do one thing better than everyone else. You already sense what “your thing” is going to be, and you’re right. Follow that gut feeling.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re not an open book, but you do reveal secrets judiciously. What you share with others in confidence makes them feel important. They understand that

VOLUNTEERS STRIVE TO HEAL VETERANS SCARRED BY WAR

DEAR ABBY: Large numbers of veterans are returning home with a wide range of psychological difficulties, many struggling with severe physical injuries or traumatic brain injuries. One in 10 soldiers reports mental health problems, while 30 percent of U.S. troops develop serious mental health problems within three to four months of coming home.

Post-traumatic stress is a natural human reaction to horrific experiences. The symptoms of PTSD are greatly reduced if appropriate treatment is provided quickly to those in need.

Individuals who suffer from traumatic brain injuries also experience consequences such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse and marital difficulties. And children whose parents suffer from PTSD are more likely to develop symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Give an Hour is a nonprofit organization that has established a national network of more than 5,300 licensed mental health professionals who provide free mental health services to U.S. troops, their families and communities affected by the current military conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Each one gives an hour each week to provide free mental health services to military personnel and their families. In addition, these volunteers work to educate the public and the military community to reduce the stigma so often associated with mental health issues.

Give an Hour offers immediate access to services for people who might fail to seek help through the military or Veterans Administration. Parents, siblings, unmarried partners and other loved ones are typically not covered by military insurance. However, they, too, are often adversely affected and can benefit from the professional help our organization offers.

Thank you for helping to spread the word about our ser-

vices. -- LAUREN ITZKOWITZ, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS DEAR LAUREN: I salute your efforts. The service that Give an Hour is offering is vital, and I’m pleased to alert readers that it is available.

Readers, in addition to providing easy and free care for as long as it’s needed, this organization is following the example of service embodied by so many of our military men and women. There are providers in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Guam and Puerto Rico. To find one, log on to www. giveanhour.org and use the ZIP code search. If there is no provider in your area, the organization can be contacted at info@ giveanhour.org, and a provider will be located for you.

DEAR ABBY: My elderly father has been a widower for many years. His neighbor, also his age, recently lost her husband, and they have been spending a lot of time together.

He takes her shopping, she cooks for him, etc. My concern is twofold: One, this woman is not in good health, and I can’t bear to see Dad heartbroken again when she dies. My second concern is the woman and her husband never even invited Dad over for a cup of coffee after Mom died, but now that she’s a widow, she all of a sudden wants to be “neighborly.”

I’d like to ask her why. Would I be out of line? -- LOOKING OUT FOR MY DAD DEAR LOOKING OUT: Yes, you would. Your question would likely be regarded as hostile by both your father and the neighbor because that’s the way it comes across to me.

While you may feel protective, please recognize that your father is an adult and, presumably, able to take care of himself. At this point in his life he doesn’t need you to look out for him. Only if asked should you venture an opinion like the one you have confided to me.

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

Motorcycle Snowmobile Service

“Power Sports since 1977” Some one asked the other day,Hey Ray why the “since 1977”? Well here’s his answer.

It all started out of High school, my first bike shop job was with a gentleman by the name of Eddie Renaud. Renaud Honda. Eddie was a shrewd business man.

Next came employment with Top Sports Plaza, yes the good folks of Top Furniture were involved in motorcycles and snowmobiles.

I was very lucky to work with some sharp people at that establishment. Next was a period in time, that a gentleman named Roland Leveille of Rocket Snowmobile hired me. Roland was a guy who had the insight of an engineer, the repair vision of MacGiver,and the humor of a guy who was just, a great all around person. I learned a lot from Roland,

even a few choice French words.

Then it was down to Gorham to Steve’s Sport Center. Steve Fisk and I started a long friendship, once again a gentleman who I was lucky to share some business insight with. Well in the summer of ‘92 I approached Ray Mulligan, and the rest is history; 299 Main St. Gorham,has been my address till now. Yes I had a couple of vacations in between. You ask what does all this have to do with my shop? Well through the years I have been very lucky to have learned from very diverse bunch of characters. The day you stop learning, is the day you’re done.

I’m still blessed with awesome family, great friends,and best of all great customers!

So if you have a problem with your bike or sled, I might remember that trick Roland showed me.

BERLIN/BELMONT -- BERLIN 16 WINNISQUAM 3 The Berlin girl’s softball team put together two 16-3 victories in their first two games, defeating Winnisquam in Berlin Thursday and then traveling to Belmont on Friday.

Senior Sarah Landers put on a hitting clinic launching a pair of threerun homers, a triple, and a double, to lift Berlin to a 16-3 win over the lady Bears Thursday. The Berlin offense scored in every inning off of Winnisquam ace hurler Carolyn Hujdusek.

The Mounties stroked out ten hits and were the recipients of 12 walks.

Four hits for Landers, three hits for Megan Hood and a game ending two run homer by Trisha Falardeau, were all keys to the Mountie offense.

Hood started on the mound for Berlin, picking up the “W” and throwing the first four innings. Lander fired the last two innings for the Lady Mountaineers. The duo struckout three and walked five in getting the opening day win.

WHS 2 0 0 0 0 1 3-3-1 BHS 5 3 4 3 2 2 16-10-0 Pitching: WHS- Hajdusek and Lannigan, BHS Hood, Landers (5), and Falardeau, WP- Hood, LP- Hajdusek.

Home runs: BHS- Landers 2 (1st two on), (2nd two on), Falardeau (6th one on).

BERLIN 16 BELMONT 3 The Berlin girl’s softball team wore down Raider starting pitcher, Kim Albert, by scoring tens runs in the last two innings, defeating Belmont 16-3 in a girl’s Division III softball game played in Belmont.

Berlin used a 13-hit attack, four coming off the bat of senior outfielder

Berlin’s Rachel Thompson stands at second base during first inning action against Winnisquam. Thompson had three hits in her teams’ 16-3 win over Belmont.

Marisa Lemoine. Rachel Thompson had a pair of doubles and a single, Sarah Landers two hits, and Trisha Falardeau a pair of singles to lead the attack. The Raider’s Albert threw an amazing 18o pitches, and was completely out of gas in the final two innings. Allen issued 11 walks in that time span, with seven Berlin runs touching home plate on balls getting to the back- stop.

The Berlin defense had but one error in the field. That made a winner out of Lady Mountie pitcher Megan Hood. Hood went the first five innings and was helped out by Landers in the final two innings.

The pitching combination for Berlin struck out seven Belmont batters and walked just one.

The Berlin girls will return to the field on Monday to take on the Gorham Huskies.

Jeffrey H. Taylor & Associates to lead design charrette in Berlin CONCORD -- Jeffrey H. Taylor & Associates have been selected by NH Dept. of Transportation and Lisa Mausolf, a preservation consultant, to lead a design charrette in Berlin on April 29 and 30. The facilitated community discussion will focus on mitigating the impacts of a relocated NH Route 110 as it passes through the western edges of the downtown core. This project has been under consideration for decades and the design charrette is the next step towards realization of the project goals.

A design charrette is a graphic equivalent of a brainstorming session in which professionals from different disciplines within the building industry come together to address a design challenge. Currently, Route 110 passes through the gridiron street pattern of Berlin’s Avenues neighborhood. The New Hampshire Department of

Transportation has been working to reroute Route 110 through the western edge of the downtown core in order to ease the flow of traffic and minimize its impact on the neighborhood. Concerns have been raised about the rerouting’s impact on downtown residents and businesses. The design charrette will engage residents and stakeholders in the community and explore how to mitigate these effects.

“We are so pleased to see this project moving closer to construction” said Pam Laflamme, city planner. “Jeff Taylor and his team have long ties to the community, having assisted us with our recently adopted master plan. Their involvement in this phase of the project will be instrumental in advancing us one step closer to realizing our ultimate goal of rerouting Route 110.”
