Parties reviewing PUC decision BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – Both parties yesterday were withholding comment on the N.H. Public Utilities Commission’s decision on the power purchase agreement for the proposed Laidlaw Berlin BioPower/Berlin Station biomass plant. Public Service Company of N.H. and Laidlaw said their organizations were reviewing the 117-page decision issued late Monday afternoon. In its decision, the PUC said it found the agreement as filed not to be 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 approve a modified PPA that would reduce total payments to approximately $1.3 billion

over the term of the agreement. PSNH has 30 days to file a revised PPA complying with the terms set out in the decision PSNH yesterday said it was still reviewing the decision and would withhold any comment until the review is complete. Richard Cyr, senior vice president for Cate Street Capital, said he expected his company would be spending a couple of days reviewing the document. He said the company will also have to meet with their lenders. “It’s obviously a complex deal. There are a lot of ins and outs,” said Cyr. Cyr said Cate Street is committed to the deal and said see PUC page 9

No agreement yet on mill purchase BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM – Counsel RB Capital last night said it has not signed an agreement to sell the Gorham mill to Patriarch Partners. “We do not have a signed agreement with Patriarch. We are continuing to keep the mill in a “hot idle” state in the hopes of closing a deal with an operator who could quickly restart, but there is no signed agreement with any party at this point,” wrote Counsel R.B. Capital Vice President Gregory Schain in an e-mail last night.

Sources yesterday were reporting that Lynn Tilton, founder and CEO of Patriarch Partners, had signed or was close to signing a committal letter to purchase the mill. Tilton toured the Gorham mill last week with state, local, and union officials. She said she expected to make a decision on purchasing the mill by early this week. Once the decision to purchase was made, Tilton said it would take up to four weeks to finalize the sale. She estimated it would be another month to get the first machine up and running and people back to work. see NO AGREEMENT page 9

City council approves new BEA contract BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – The city council Monday night approved a new two year contract between the school district and the Berlin teachers union that will save the city $180,929. The contract with the Berlin Education Association calls for no wage increases in either year of the contract which runs from the 2011-12 to 2012-2013 school years. In the first year, there are no step or longevity increases as well. The BEA agreed to a change in health insurance from a point-of-service plan to an HMO. The union also agreed to a reduction in the health insurance waiver (for those not taking insurance) from $5,302 to $2,000. Costs savings in the first year of the contract come to $277,660. In the second year of the contract, teachers will receive step and longevity increases. Offsetting some of the see BEA page 5

COOS COUNTY – The amount of land in Coos County protected as conservation land has doubled since 1988. The vast majority of that land, however, has remained in active timber production according to Appalachian Mountain Club Senior Staff Scientist David Publicover. Publicover outlined his figures at last week’s Coos County planning board discussion on the county’s interest in a community/county forest. After the meeting, at the board’s request, Publicover provided a written copy of his findings. Prior to 1988, Publicover said 281,415 acres or about 24 percent of Coos County was in some form of land conservation. Today that number has increased by 50 percent to 581,312 see CONSERVED page 15

Serial sleepover artist

(NY Times) — a serial house guest has been smooth enough so far, and by and large her hosts — friends, colleagues and total strangers — have been happy to share their toothpaste with her. Ms. Robinson is an engaging 33-year-old artist whose work has mostly tweaked gender and racial stereotypes, in pieces involving things like melted Goody combs, synthetic blond hair and women’s magazines. In January, she decided to become a nomad for a spell, and call it art. Inspired by the adventures of Ed Casabian, a financial analyst for an online news site who last year embarked on a 52-week journey around New York City, staying for a week at a time in other people’s apartments as a way to recover from painful breakup, Ms. Robinson imagined a 13-week-long performanceart piece, and offered herself up as a guest (10 hours of housework included, but the host must supply the toothpaste) to anyone who would have her. Her proposal went out by e-mail to art world colleagues in Manhattan and Brooklyn She named the project the “The Inflatable Mattress,” for the portable twin bed she carried with her, though by last week (week 10), the mattress had deflated, a casualty of this collision of couch surfing, relational aesthetics and old-fashioned endurance performance art. Ms. Robinson, however, had not.

Deadly clashes in Yemen as sides weigh deal SANA, Yemen (NY Times) — At least one protester died in clashes with security forces and plainclothes government supporters here in the capital on Tuesday. Security forces also fired on a demonstration in the central city of Taiz, killing one protester and wounding two others, according to witnesses and a doctor at the demonstration’s field hospital. The violence came as the Gulf Cooperation Council, a six-nation regional group,

sought to broker an end to the political crisis. Yemen’s Saba news agency said government officials were meeting with the council in Abu Dhabi after similar meetings with opposition representatives on Sunday. Gunfire erupted in the capital on Tuesday as government supporters threw rocks and beat protesters with sticks while security forces used tear gas and a water cannon to push back a march in the center of the

city. “First they used the water cannon on us, then tear gas, then as we were running away they shot at us,” said Talal al-Azany, a protester who works with a local human rights organization. One protester died of a gunshot wound to the head, and doctors said 10 others were wounded; it was unclear whether security forces or plainclothesmen had opened fire. A witness said a protester threw a gasoline bomb at the water cannon.

Administration defends effort Syria steps up its crackdown on debt after credit warning while promising reform (NY Times) — A day after the nation was given a negative credit outlook, President Obama and the Treasury secretary, Timothy F. Geithner, on Tuesday defended efforts that the administration was taking to reduce the budget deficit but warned that the process would not be easy. Mr. Obama made his remarks at the start of a campaign to promote his ideas for reducing the deficit, while Mr. Geithner made the rounds of business television programs. The appearances came a day after the S.&P. revised its outlook on the country’s Triple AAA rating

— the highest level — to negative from stable, an announcement loaded with political implications because it cited the need for Republicans and Democrats to agree on a plan to reduce the deficit. As Mr. Geithner took the lead for the administration in responding to the S.&P. warning, President Obama focused on the deficit. In his first stop, at a town hall meeting in Virginia, Mr. Obama said there was “general agreement” between Democrats and Republicans on the need to cut spending by about $4 trillion over the medium term.

BEIRUT, Lebanon —Syria tried to placate protesters with declarations of sweeping reform on Tuesday while also issuing harsh threats of reprisals if demonstrations do not come to an end, as one of the Arab world’s most repressive countries struggled to blunt the most serious challenge to the 40-year rule of the Assad family. The mix of concession and coercion came hours after the police, army and the other forces of an authoritarian state were marshaled to crush one of the biggest gatherings yet by protesters bent on staging an Egyptian-style sit-in in Homs, Syria’s third-largest city. At least two people died, protesters said, as the government cleared the square by dawn on Tuesday. The events punctuated a tumultuous day in an monthlong uprising that, like Egypt’s, has the potential to rework the arithmetic of a Middle East shaken with dissent.

Next election is right around the corner To the editor: Well Congress finally passed a budget for the current fiscal year, which is already half over. Depending upon to whom you listen, they cut $38 billion or nothing at all from spending, Reminds me of my accounting professor who said “figures don’t lie; but liars figure”. Now we have the so called “Ryan Budget” for next year and beyond. The house has passed this already and, of course, our Representative, Mr. Bass, voted in favor. This budget makes huge cuts to spending, but also cuts taxes, A popular Republican strategy. Mr. Bass will not be bothered by the fact that nearly all the spending cuts are to so called “safety net” and social programs. As a millionaire he has no need for a safety net. Neither will cuts to education hurt him, as he can afford private schools for his grandchildren I’m sure. The same will be true for the cuts to health care spending as Mr. Bass is beneficiary of the “Cadillac” health plan for Congressmen. Due to the lavish benefits of the Congressional retirement program, he will also not be harmed by cuts to Medicare or reductions in Social Security benefits. The Ryan plan cuts income taxes, but only for the very wealthy. A recent report from the IRS said

that the wealthiest Americans paid less in taxes for 2010 than ever before but I’m sure that will no bother Mr. Bass either, as he probably falls in that group, Also the Ryan plan reduces corporate taxes. I have to wonder if that’s a joke. I’ve heard that less than 50 percent of American corporation pay any taxes in the first place. Two or three decades ago corporate taxes accounted for a little more than one third of all federal government income. a news item a few weeks ago that (General Electric, one of the largest and most consistently profitable corporations in the US” paid no taxes last year. Or the year before. How do you cut $0? The Republicans say they want to bring fiscal responsibility to government. A laudable goal, but that is not what they are doing. They are enriching themselves and their corporate sponsors at the expense of the common people. If this angers you us much as it does me then you need to let Congressman Bass (603.226-0064) and Senator Ayotte (603622.7979) hear from you. They are home on recess now, so those are their New Hampshire office numbers. And remember, next election is right around the corner. John F. Henne Shelburne

Spring In Europe! 2002

With the calendar showing spring again, my thoughts have strayed to other springs in other places. It seems that much of my travel plans often culminated in that time when prices were still low and spring climes in other places were so much warmer and nicer than in Northern New Hampshire. Back in 2002 the spring time found Lala, her daughter, Sally, and I on an extended bicycle trip through the Po Valley in Italy, a week riding through the Austrian Alps and five days visiting the artistic joys of Florence in Italy. It was truly a momentous three weeks, and the source of fond memories. It was Saturday morning in Salzburg, Austria when, after bicycling with our Elderhostel group through Italy and Austria, we bid them fond adieu and headed for the train station for the all day journey back to Florence, Italy. Our plan was to spend five day’s among the architectural and artistic splendor of old Europe before heading back home to New Hampshire, The train trip proved to be an adventure, After boarding in Salzburg, we had to make a change to another train along the way. Laden down as we were, with enough gear for three weeks of travel that change proved mighty difficult. We had to get from one level of track to another, find our train stop and get on. Going up a stairway to another level, I broke one of the little wheels off my big bag and had to half carry it -- half drag it -- from then on. We got to our train as it was getting ready to roll and found it fully loaded and

nearly impossible to get on. In fact, without the help of a burly fellow traveling American who boosted our stuff aboard, we would still be there. Once in Florence we took a cab to the hotel. After a 29 minute tour of the crowded old city, we pulled up in front off the hotel, got out of the cab, and saw the train station about two blocks down the street. We tipped well, anyway, being so glad to have reached a refuge after a long, hard day on the road, We started out next morning to visit the famous sights that Sally had mapped out for us. Sally would lead the way, map and guide book in hand, while Lala and I, somewhat the worse for wear, would dutifully follow. We spent three days on the streets of Florence, We saw the cathedral, inside and out. We visited with Michelangelo’s David inside his resting place, where no pictures are allowed, but took many pictures of the replica statue outside. We spent much time roaming in Florence. Spending time on Ponte Vecchio, the “jeweler’s Bridge’ over the Arno River. We met up with Lala’s sister, Patricia and her friends, who were also traveling in Italy for gelato and conversation. One day we took a bus tour to the town of Pisa and paid our respects to its famous leaning tower. It was glorious. Then after nearly three weeks, we came home and put the memories away. It has been great to pull them out and relive them again. It’s just as glorious now as it was then.

Look Good...Feel Better

Look Good…Feel Better was developed in 1989 by the Personal Care Products Council Foundation, a charitable organization established by the Personal Care Products Council. But its story began with one patient. In 1987, a physician asked former personal Care Products Council President Ed Kavanaugh how he could organize a “makeover” for a woman in cancer treatment who was experiencing dramatic appearance side effects. The woman was so depressed and self-conscious she would not venture outside her hospital room. Kavanaugh made some calls and was able to provide cosmetics and a cosmetologist…and the makeover transformed not only the woman’s look, but also her outlook. She felt happier, less burdened and laughed for the first time in weeks. Cancer can rob a woman of her energy, appetite, and strength. But it doesn’t have to take away her self-confidence.Look Good…Feel Better is a non-medical, product-neutral public service program that teaches beauty techniques to cancer patients to help them manage the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatments. The Look Good…Feel Better program is open to all women with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or other forms of

treatment. In the United States alone, more than 700,000 women have participated in the program. Thousands of volunteer beauty professionals support Look Good…Feel Better. All are trained and certified by the Personal Care Products Council Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and the Professional Beauty Association/the National Cosmetology Association locally and statewide. All cosmetology volunteers who are part of the program attend a four-hour certification class to become a Look Good…Feel Better volunteer. Other volunteer health care professionals and individuals also give their time to the program. Any questions the cancer patient may have will be answered firsthand. Trained cosmetology professionals provide one-on-one, handson, step-by-step instruction for cancer patients. They will receive guidance on how to draw a more natural-looking eyebrow and how to camouflage particular types of pigmentation. They will receive a free makeup kit with brandname cosmetics to use during the session and to take home, helping minimize shopping time and expense. Free cosmetic kits are provided at their one-on-one consultation. Women also learn ways, to disguise hair loss with wigs, see FEEL BETTER page 5

Earth Week to be held at Northern Forest Heritage Park BERLIN -- Oodles of exciting things are happening this week as Earth Week takes place at the Northern Forest Heritage Park for almost 40 kids ages 5-12. Head teacher, Wanda Riff, has put together some great crafts, games, and hands-on teaching activities for each day; the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire (AANNH) is participating Tuesday and Thursday with authentic children’s programming guaranteed to make your child smile; and festivities will wrap up on Friday with an Earth Day Celebration - a brief closing program for parents and families. The AANNH has arranged for two artists during Earth Week, both are part of the Weeks Act Centennial programming. Back by popular demand, Marek Bennet spent the day Tuesday with the children - cartooning and creating comics. Marek was in New Hampshire for a week-long residency earlier in the year and visited children at Brown School as well as youth at the Berlin Teen Center. He was a favorite of many during the recent Winter Wonderweek, Tri-County CAP’s February school vacation children’s program, as children designed and created their own comic strip. Another favorite for the kids is Patrick Ross, a young fifth generation Franco-American fiddler. Ross will be with the children on Thursday and is trained in violin, viola, guitar, banjo, and mandolin. In addition, he will bring some junk instruments, made from 100 percent recycled materials, to introduce “junk music” to the group. Ross will not only entertain children all day, but will also get them actively involved. At 4 p.m. on Thursday, parents and family members are invited to a “Junk-

jam”, the day’s finale. With “junk music”, anyone can be a musician; and from 4 to 4:30 p.m., children and family members are invited to join the musical ensemble. A closing program and celebration honoring Earth Day will take place on Friday, April 22, starting at 4 p.m. Parents, friends, and family members are all invited; cake will be served. Children will be presented with certificates, prizes, and a complimentary boat tour pass to be used during the Cultural Festival (free admission event) on June 4, also at Northern Forest Heritage Park. Furthermore, in honor of Earth Day, children spent a lot of time decorating IGA paper bags - so make sure to ask for paper bags this Friday when checking out at IGA. Tri-County Community Action Program would like to thank area businesses, financial institutions, and individuals for their support and contributions: Northway Bank, Laconia Savings Bank, Citizen’s Bank, and Guardian Angel Credit Union for donating Series EE Savings Bonds (or equivalent); Gill’s Flowers for donating white carnations to be used for an object lesson showing how polluted water affects plant life; WMCC Culinary Arts student Stephen Kesheb for baking the Earth Day celebration cake; and all staff and volunteers of Earth Week – Wanda Riff, Karissa Riff, Jonathan Patrick, Cody Thompson, and Jessica Russell. Camp is this week, daily from 8 a.m.- to 4 p,m. Cost is only $10 a day per camper (discount for multiple family members). Snack and beverages are provided; children must bring their own lunch. Late registrations are being accepted; please call 752-7001 to register your child.

the council voted unanimously to accept the cost items in the contract. Mayor Paul Grenier thanked the teachers and board of education for “putting together a labor agreement that works for all parties”.

Bisson's Sugar House celebrates 90th anniversary JODY HOULE

BERLIN -- Bisson’s Sugar House celebrated its 90th anniversary of making maple products from scratch by extracting tree sap and converting it at a Business After Hours on Thursday, April 7. The event was hosted by the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce members for The BetterBuildings’ Business After Hours program. Lazare Bisson built his first sugar house on Cate’s Hill in 1921 and began his business of sugaring. His nephew, Armand Bisson, had helped him manage the business for 15 years and took it over in 1936 when his uncle died. He and his wife, Juliette, built a new, more efficient sugar house in 1953, which still stands today. Since then, there have been many upgrades, making the process of sugaring more efficient each time. Juliette’s niece, Muriel, and her husband Lucian Blair began helping the Bisson’s out with the business in the

‘70s, and are the present owners and operators of the sugar house, making it a third generation business. Making maple products by extracting sap out of maple trees is a four month process for the Blais’s. In February, they begin tapping the trees, and in May the clean up begins. April is the typical month when the final product is available locally, and also for customers outside the area. They make products such as pure maple syrup, taffy, butter, and maple candies. Spring, 2011, marked the 90th anniversary of Bisson’s Sugar House. Last Thursday, Chamber of Commerce members attended the event and got a tour. They saw how the maple products are made with the newly added equipment and sampled some final products. The public can visit the sugar house from mid March to mid April, and group tours can be arranged. Syrup is also available to purchase from the Blais’s during off season.

USW Local 75 spokesman Eddy DeBlois said union members over the weekend voted 119-5 to approve a contract with Patriarch Partners. He said he thought the margin of the vote was a sign of the papermakers’ desire to work with Tilton to get the mill operating. “I think Lynn Tilton was pleased to see the outcome of the vote being as positive as it was,” he said. DeBlois noted the employees have been laid-off for seven months and trying to live on unemployment compensation. He said some are struggling financially. “It is certainly time to get people back to work,” he said. Based in New York, Patriarch Partners describes PUC from page one

he hopes the conditional approval will still allow the project to be financially viable. He noted Cate Street has invested a huge amount of money in the project. Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier was optimistic that the terms approved by the PUC would allow the biomass plant to be built. “I think we have a viable product going forward,” he said. The parties have been waiting for over two months for the ruling following five days of hearings this winter Laidlaw/Berlin station is set to appear before the N.H. Site Evaluation Committee this Friday on its joint request to transfer the certificate of site and

itself as a private equity firm that specializing in turning around distressed businesses and revitalizing Main Streets. In 2009, Patriarch Partners purchased the former Red Shield plant in Old Town, Maine. Renamed Old Town Fuel and Fiber, the pulp mill is also working on a pilot project to develop new technologies to convert waste from the pulp-making process into biochemicals. Daniel Bird, HR and IT manager at the mill, said Tilton has endeared herself to the workers there with her commitment to making the facility viable. He said Berlin-Gorham papermakers “could not have done better than have Lynn take an interest in the facility” in Gorham. Bird noted that the Gorham mill in the past has purchased pulp from the Old Town plant. facility from Laidlaw to Berlin Station. NewCo Energy LLC, a project company managed by Cate Street Capital, would remain the principal owner The SEC last year granted Laidlaw conditional approval to construct and operate a 70-megawatt biomass plant on the former mill site. Laidlaw has since announced a reorganization and a change in its major contractor and fuel supplier. In a new development, the Counsel for the Public is requesting the SEC reject the joint request because it does not allow for expert witnesses, discovery, and conducting evidentiary hearings. The Counsel for the Public is asking that instead the parties work with the SEC to devise a new procedural order to rule on the changes.

By Holiday Mathis on you -- don’t let them down. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Forgetting someone’s name isn’t the end of the world, but it might be the end of the relationship if it’s a name you really should know. Prevent social mishaps through preparation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There is an unfulfilled wish you have held for so many years that you hardly ever think of it anymore. You will today, though. And you’ll find that it is still highly desirable in the archives of your heart. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When collaboration is what’s called for, you are a dream partner. You are playful, yet you stay on point. Others will find your input to be savvy, ethical and perceptive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be “swimming with sharks.” Luckily, not everyone in the tank is ferocious. If you are nice and do the right thing, it will be recognized and you will be protected. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will do something that is rare and beautiful. You will listen so actively to another person that you will forget yourself completely as you become immersed in this person’s world. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 20). You’ll see your entire lifestyle with new eyes. It’s like you went away and took in so much of the world that when you returned home you noticed things you never did before. May brings a remarkable improvement. June opens up a financial channel. Your public standing is raised in July. August heals your heart. Capricorn and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 28, 15, 38 and 4.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone wants to win you and is starting to get the sense that this is not so easily accomplished. You have carefully placed your emotional barriers so that only the most determined and worthy can reach your heart. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The one who takes you for granted will continue to do so for as long as you let this go on. Get creative. How can you break the cycle? Engineer a wakeup call. You’ll both benefit. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have moxie and imaginative flair. You’ll show this by delivering a special experience to someone you love. What you make happen will be a first for the other person and forever memorable because of it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Notice the informal network that’s going on behind the scenes. This is where important exchanges are happening, and you need to be a part of this. Cozy up to the movers and shakers so you can learn. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are creative by nature and rarely feel bored. You can always find something to do. You will lead with this instinct. Your persuasion will turn an event into so much more than it started out to be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You think someone is wiser than you, but this isn’t necessarily so. Learn from the specialized knowledge this person has, and do not attribute extra qualities to him or place him on a pedestal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). For many people you know, much of life is routine. That’s why the interruptions and distractions you instinctively provide keep things interesting. They depend

CO-WORKERS GRIT THEIR TEETH SEEING DENTIST’S SAGGING PANTS

DEAR ABBY: I work in a dental office. My boss (the doctor) and his assistant have a problem keeping their pants up. Every time either of them reaches for something or, God forbid, bends over -- they flash their backsides. It’s just bad, and both of them are pretty good-sized men. My boss is the kindest, most generous person I know. But frankly, this is an embarrassment for patients and co-workers alike. Something has to be done. Any suggestions to help us with this problem would be greatly appreciated. -- EMBARRASSED FOR EVERYONE, TOWANDA, PA. DEAR EMBARRASSED: The doctor and his assistant may be unaware of the show to which they are treating everyone. You say this is not only embarrassing for the employees but also the patients. Have any of them complained about it to you? If so, you have your opening to transmit that message to Dr. Derriere. DEAR ABBY: I have been with my boyfriend, “Gil,” for three years. We bought a house together six months ago. Prior to that, we had a discussion about the future. Gil told me he wanted to get married and have kids. I expected a marriage proposal over the holidays. When it didn’t happen, I asked him what he was waiting for. His response broke my heart. He said he no longer wants to get married. Gil says he loves me, I’m his “best friend,” he is willing to move forward and have children -- but not get married. I’m not sure how I feel about his arrangement. I am depressed and don’t know what to do. For me, Gil is “The One” - - the love of my life. I feel like a failure and a fool for allowing myself to get into this situation. Please help me. -- WEDDING

BELL BLUES IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR WEDDING BELL BLUES: I don’t blame you for feeling depressed and confused. The person you thought was The One led you on and convinced you to make a major investment under false pretenses. You should not have children with him under these circumstances. Before this goes any further and you feel even worse about yourself, I’m advising you to consult a lawyer about extricating yourself from this bad business deal. You’re not the failure. He is. DEAR ABBY: I played matchmaker for a girlfriend and introduced her to a buddy of mine from work. Two years later, he was arrested for molesting her children, and I just found out he’d had a record for this! She is no longer speaking to me. What do I do? -- REGRETFUL IN OREGON DEAR REGRETFUL: All you can do is apologize -- which I presume you have already done. Although you were well-intended when you made the introduction, it implied that you were giving him your endorsement. However, you should not have been expected to have done a background check on him -- that was your friend’s responsibility as the mother of young children. And she may be madder at herself for not doing so than she is at you. DEAR ABBY: This Friday, April 22, is Earth Day. It offers all of us a chance to do something positive for the planet. Many parents use it as an opportunity to bond with their children by sharing in a project, and some schools offer credit to students who participate (hint, hint). So check your local newspapers and go online to find ways you can help in your community.

Mountie baseball defeats Bears 6-3 and Raiders 3-2 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN/BELMONT -- The Berlin boy’s baseball team opened their 2011 season with a pair of wins over Winnisquam and Belmont on Thursday and Friday. BERLIN 6 WINNISQUAM 3 The Winnisquam Bears were the 2010 Division III baseball champions and the early season favorite to take it all in 2011, didn’t quite take the first step they were looking for. The Bears fell to the Berlin Mountaineers 6-3 on a windy and frigid afternoon at Memorial Field. There were baseball scouts present representing the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays to see Bear pitcher Jordan Cody. The radar guns were expecting to read 94 MPH, but the fastest ball thrown was 85. The cooler temps were not conducive to over powering pitching. However, that didn’t slow down the Berlin boys. The Mounties scored three runs in the first inning off of a Cody throwing error, to lead 3-0. The Bears responded by scoring single runs in the top of the second and third innings to make it a 3-2 Berlin edge. The senior laden Mounties answered by scoring twice in the bottom of the third and a single run in the bottom of the fourth inning to take

Berlin second baseman Zach Bacon will be play a key role in the Mountaineer success this season. (JEAN LEBLANC PHOTO)

a commanding lead at 6-2. That was sufficient enough for Berlin ace Curtis Arsenault. Arsenault twirled the first five innings before turning the ball over to senior Bryar King. Arsenault allowed just five hits on three walks and four strikeouts. King was touched up for a run in the seventh inning making the final score 6-3. Offensively, Berlin had seven hits with five hits coming from Arsenault (3) and King (2). Teammates Elijah Hawkins and Eric Godin both got on base three times each. Mountie Ryan see MOUNTIE page 14

Berlin Youth Hockey Squirts capture championship BERLIN -- Berlin Squirts took the State Tier III Championship back in March, after battling through four games in three days, in Laconia. Fighting for top the spot, were Berlin Sabers, Laconia Lakers, Hollis Cavaliers, Hanover Wild, Jr. Monarchs, and the top seeded Rochester Blackhawks. Game 1 Berlin found themselves facing the Hanover Wild in a Friday evening game. The first period started off a little slow with Berlin’s goal tender Kurtis Grover facing only four shots and Hanover’s net minder facing seven shots, ending the period with no scoring. However the second period, the action turned out to be a lot livelier with Berlin’s offense stepping it up a bit firing nine shots on Hanover to just two shots on Berlin. Once again, the period would end in a 0-0 stalemate. The third period would not go Berlin’s way, Hanover got one past Berlin’s goal tender, Trent Labrecque, on a breakaway play by Hanover’s Alex Weinman. Hanover’s scoring frenzy, was fueled by a tripping penalty Berlin. Hanover fired another goal past Labrecque, making it 2-0. Shortly afterwards, on another well thought out play, Hanover lit the light for the final time for the 3-0 victory. Early Saturday morning game two was played with Berlin facing the Hollis Cavaliers. The game started and immediately you could see a whole new Berlin team on the ice with Berlin’s Noah Schoenbeck starting the scoring. The goal came in the first minute of play on a set up by Broedy Gagnon. Minutes later Andrew Martel, on a set up by Cameron Delisle and Hunter Fauteux, put Berlin up by two goals. Hollis tried to get some momentum, only finding themselves hitting a defensive brick wall by the names of Austin Scarinza, Ricky Lambert, Thomas Sullivan, and Ryan Bisson, stopping them dead in their tracks. An intercepted pass by Hunter Fauteux, led to a pass up to Cameron Delisle. Delisle scored to put the Berlin pucksters on top 3-0. Showing no signs of slowing down, Delisle once again light the lamp on a picture perfect pass by Schoenbeck, ending the first period with a 4 goal lead. Berlin’s Labrecque would face only three shots for the period easily stopping them all. In the second period, Delisle completed his hattrick on a power play goal set up by Tyler Rousseau and Rickey Lambert. Not to be outdone, Schoenbeck skated down to get his second of the game unassisted, leaving Hollis with a six goal deficit. The period ended with Hollis scoring making Berlin 6 Hollis 1. In the third period, Hollis came out fighting, getting a few shots on Berlin’s new goalie Grover. The Sabers answered back with Schoenbeck earning his hattrick on a set up by Martel and Fauteux. Out of desperation, Hollis pulled their goalie with two minutes left in regulation. However, there was no more scoring as Berlin would took game 2 by 7-1 win. On Sunday morning, Berlin faced Laconia in a do or die match. The loser of the game would be eliminated and

winner going on to championship. Berlin got on the board first with a unassisted goal by Austin Scarinza. Most of the action was played on Laconia’s side of the ice, forcing their defense to work overtime. Late into the period Hunter Fauteux scored on a breakaway slamming one by Laconia’s goal tender putting the Sabers up 2-0. Berlin peppered Laconia’s net minder with 12 shots. Laconia managed only two shots on Berlin’s Grover. In the second period, Berlin found themselves shorthanded several times on penalties, leaving Laconia able to get a power play goal by Berlin’s goalie Labrecque. Berlin’s response to the Laconia goal was Schoenbeck, on a set up by Thomas Sullivan, ending the period at 3-1. The third period started off with the duo of Schoenbeck and Carter Richmond making it now 4-1 on a set up of a Schoenbeck goal. Laconia, while shorthanded, ended up closing the gap to 4 to 2. However, Laconia’s celebration was shortened by Schoenbeck earning his second hattrick of the playoffs in an unassisted goal ending the period with Berlin eliminating Laconia 5-2. The championship game was to be played Sunday afternoon with Berlin taking on Rochester. As game time neared, the Laconia Lakers team was on hand, to show their support for Berlin, along with family and friends who traveled, in stormy weather to watch their Berlin Sabers. The first period began on a Berlin high sticking penalty, forcing the defense to step it up. Rochester took full advantage of the power play, forcing Berlin keeper Labrecque to be on his game. Berlin’s Hunter Fauteux intercepted a pass, catching teammate Delisle leaving the penalty box. Fauteux handed him the puck sending Delisle down to get one passed Rochester’s goalie, leaving Berlin to draw first blood. Minutes later, Scarinza on a broken up play took the puck from the Berlin end all the way down to Rochester’s end and backhanded one in the net putting Berlin up by two. Rochester oushot Berlin 9-6 in the period and were unable to get one past Labrecque. In the second period Rochester scored on a power play to cut their deficit to one at 2-1. However, while returning the favor, Ryan Bisson sent the puck up to Fauteux, and Fauteux found the back of the net on a high wrist shot over the goalies shoulder putting Berlin back up by 3-1. The first five minutes of the third period went for over 5 minutes of back and forth action. Berlin’s Andrew Martel was positioned in front of the Rochester goal, and redirected a pass by Fauteux, making it 4-2. Rochester responded moments later, sneaking one passed new goal tender Kurtis Grover, to bring it back to a goal deficit. As the period counted down, Schoenbeck skated down the ice towards Rochester’s

Schoenbeck faked him out by a back pass to Fauteux, giving Fauteux a wide open side to where he planted the final goal of the game, giving Berlin the upset win of the year, bringing home the 2011 Tier III State Championship trophy.

increased by 50 percent to 581,312 acres. In 1988, most of the conservation land in Coos County was under federal ownership (82 percent), mainly the White Mountain National Forest and the Appalachian Trail. Ten percent was in nonprofit ownership – primarily the Second College Grant, four percent was in state ownership, three percent was municipal ownership, and one percent was in conservation easements. Today, the percentage in federal ownership has dropped to 44 percent, while state ownership has increased to 15 percent or 88,389 acres. The biggest increase has come in the amount of land protected by conservation easements. Prior to 1988, about one percent of land in the county fell into that category. Publicover said that figure is now 29 percent – an increase of over 165,000 acres. Of the new conservation land protected since 1988, Publicover said 56 percent of the land protected is in conservation easements – primarily the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters, Bunnell Memorial Forest, and Thirteen Mile Woods easements. The state purchased 26 percent of the new conservation land – Nash Stream State Forest, Connecticut Lakes Headwaters, Jericho Mountain State Park and Cape Horn State Forest. Federal purchase accounted for eight percent – Lake Umbagog and Pondicherry National Wildlife Refuges, Success addition to the Appalachian Trail, and the Pond of Safety addition to the WMNF. Municipal purchases for the Randolph and Errol Town Forest accounted for five percent and five percent was purchased by non-profit organizations.

Focusing just on the county’s 23 unincorporated places, Publicover said 45 percent was conservation land at the beginning of 1988. Most of the conservation land in the unincorporated places fell in the WMNF (84 percent) or Second College Grant (16 percent). The amount of conservation land in the unincorporated places since 1988 has grown from 45 to 53 percent. Publicover noted that while the unincorporated places encompass 31 percent of the county, only nine percent of the new conservation land has been in the unincorporated places. Of the almost 300,000 acres conserved since 1988, 72 percent remains in active timber management according to Publicover’s figures. Another nine percent is in wildlife management areas – the two federal wildlife refuges and the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters Wildlife Management Area that may allow some harvesting although timber management is not the top priority. Significant portions of these lands are wetlands. Approximately 19 percent are closed to timber harvesting but Publicover noted most of that is high elevation, steep slope, or ecologically sensitive lands that are not well suited for sustainable timber management. He reminded the board that the current management plan for the WMNF increased the amount of national forest land in Coos County allocated to timber management by about 17 percent or over 14,000 acres. Publicover noted that private commercial timberland owners own over 150,000 acres of land in the unincorporated places. None of that land, he pointed out, is covered by a conservation easement that would ensure its continued availability as a working forest.
