Patriarch Partners signs agreement to purchase mill

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM - Patriarch Partners CEO Lynn Tilton yesterday said she has signed a letter of commitment to purchase the Gorham mill from Counsel RB Capital LLC. Tilton said she hopes to finalize the sale within three weeks. Once the sale is finalized, she estimated it would take a month to get the first paper machine up and running.

While Tilton would not talk about the level of

investment she expects to put into the mill, she said her company plans to acquire the mill and invest the working capital to get it operating. She also plans to purchase a new tissue machine for the facility. Tilton said it is important to find a product like tissue paper that does not complete in the international market to give the mill longevity.

Tilton called the proposed gas line that will bring natural and landfill gas to the mill essential to its future. She said the mill will never be economical if it remains dependant on oil. The Androscoggin Valley

Regional Refuse Disposal District has voted to move forward with the project. Tilton said she understand the gas line will be operational in about six months and said she is prepared to absorb the short-term losses while the change-over is underway.

Tilton said she would also be interested in working with Cate Street Capital on obtaining hot water from the proposed Laidlaw/Berlin Station biomass plant.

County commissioners approve $145K bid for dairy herd

BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LANCASTER— The County Commissioners Wednesday accepted a bid from a Quebec man to purchase the county farm’s dairy herd for $145,015.

The commissioners approved the sale of the herd, from the farm, to Ken Beerwort, of Knowlton, Quebec, for $145,015 since he was the highest of the six bids submitted. The commissioners unanimously accepted the bid even though it was lower than what they expected to get for the herd.

Farm Manager Pat Giroux said he felt the bids were low and the figures weren’t what he projected.

Giroux said he estimated the herd would be worth about $165,000.

Commissioner Burnham “Bing” Judd said

he also felt the bids were low.

Judd asked if the county could get a higher price if the county sold the herd through an auction. He added he remembers a Pennsylvania firm that estimated the county could gross $180,000- $200,000 with the herd.

Giroux said that gross figure doesn’t include the trucking costs and auctioneer commission that would be deducted.

A better solution would be doing the auction from the barn, said Giroux.

Commissioner Paul Grenier said it’s sometimes better to take the cash in hand rather than speculate that a better deal can be found elsewhere. He added going with an auction could net the county a better deal, but it could also result in a lower amount for the herd.

Commissioner Tom Brady agreed that it’s see APPROVE page 8

BERLIN – Three local volunteers were honored with the first ever Berlin Volunteer Award Monday night.

Paul Croteau, Ernest Peabody, and Will O’Brien were recognized as people who are making a difference in the community. The award will be given out annually in April, which is National Volunteer Month.

Recognized were Ernest Peabody, Paul Croteau, and Will O’Brien. They were each given a plaque and a small nameplate engraved with their names will be installed

on the public Volunteer Recognition Tree in city hall.

Ernest Peabody was nominated by his daughter, Cyndi Peabody Paulin, for maintaining the lawns on both sides of the Bridge Street Bridge for the past 12 years. He has no formal arrangement with the city but simply took on the task. The area is popular with walkers.

“His efforts are completely selfless, motivated only by his interest in seeing this public space maintained,” wrote his daughter.

Paul Croteau was nominated by the Berlin Housing see AWARD page 8

Gorham senior Doug Willey has had a remarkable start to the season. In his first game against Woodsville, he pitched five innings and shared a no-hitter with team mate Cody Gauthier in a 7-0 win over the Engineers. On Tuesday Willey pitched a one hitter in a five inning 12-0 win over Lisbon. Willey faced 16 hitters, striking out 15. Story page 13. (JEAN LEBLANC PHOTO)

GOP gets online for 2012

(NY Times) — Unlike in the last presidential campaign, Republicans are better prepared to compete online in the 2012 contest.

“The notion that the Internet was owned by liberals, owned by the left in the wake of the Obama victory, has been proven false,” said Patrick Ruffini, a Republican political online strategist who is now advising the exploratory campaign of Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota, after working as a digital adviser to President George W. Bush’s campaign in 2004 and later to the Republican National Committee.

During last year’s midterm elections, Republicans caught up with Democrats in using technology and social networks, and now many Republicans elected to the House and Senate are using these tools more than Democrats, according to several political and technology experts.

“This will be the first election in modern history that both parties are understanding the potential of the technology to change the results of the election,” said Andrew Rasiej, a co-founder of TechPresident.com, a blog that covers politics and technology, and a digital adviser to Democrats since Howard Dean’s presidential campaign in 2004. “Both Republicans and Democrats are ready to use online platforms and are no longer skeptical of its potential.”

War in Libya could drag on, military analysts say

Winds help in battle against Texas wildfires

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

PARIS (NY Times) — France and Italy said on Wednesday that they would join Britain in sending some liaison officers to support the rebel army in Libya, in what military analysts said was a sign that there will be no quick and easy end to the war in Libya.

The dispatching of the liaison officers — probably fewer than 40 of them, and carefully not designated as military trainers — is a sign also, they said, that only a combination of military pressure from the sky, economic pressure on the regime and a better-organized

and coordinated rebel force will finally convince Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi that he has no option but to quit.

“Some countries thought the Libya operation could be over quickly,” said a senior NATO ambassador. “But no military commander thinks so.

Big Protest is planned in Syria for Friday BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Protests erupted Wednesday in the town that unleashed Syria’s five-week uprising, and security forces detained a prominent organizer in the restive city of Homs, casting into doubt government pledges to repeal the harsh emergency laws and grant civil rights in one of the Arab world’s most repressive countries.

Though the demonstrations paled before those of past days, organizers vowed to turn out their largest numbers yet on what protesters have begun to call “Great Friday.” Some residents said security forces were already deploying in hopes of damping the turnout, and organizers across Syria called the day potentially decisive

for the uprising’s momentum.

The demonstrations may serve as a referendum of sorts on the declaration by President Bashar al-Assad’s government that it would repeal emergency law in place since 1963, when the Baath Party seized power in Syria, and institute a series of reforms — from allowing civil liberties to abolishing draconian courts.

Some have called the promises a hard-won gain of an uprising that has shaken the 40-year rule of the Assad family, while others were dismissive of initiatives that may prove elusive and seemed aimed at blunting the demonstrations’ momentum and maintaining Mr. Assad’s relentless grip on power.

DYNASTY

(NY Times) — Firefighters from 34 states received some help from the weather on Wednesday as lighter winds helped slow the spread of the wildfires burning across Texas and allowed heavy air tankers to drop thousands of gallons of flame retardant.

The respite was not expected to last more than a day, however, as firefighters also used bulldozers, fire engines, helicopters and modified crop dusters to respond to 22 major fires Wednesday, with more than a million acres burning across the state.

Of particular concern is a fire known as the Possum Kingdom complex in parts of Stephens and Palo Pinto Counties, a group of four fires that have essentially morphed into one and threaten 600 homes and several towns in the area, many of which have seen evacuations.

Although that fire is only about 50 miles west of Fort Worth, officials are not worried about it spreading there, because of wind conditions and barriers like highways and rivers. On Wednesday, a national team assumed management of the Possum Kingdom fire.

Lynch urges people to fight spending cuts

BY DAN TUOHY THE UNION LEADER

PORTSMOUTH — Warning of “egregious cuts” in the House-passed state budget, Gov. John Lynch is urging residents to call their state senators and implore them to spend more on human services, higher education, and public safety.

“Instead of moving New Hampshire forward, it sets us back,” Lynch said Wednesday morning during a “State of the State” speech to the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce.

The four-term Democrat defended his budget, which proposed a 3 percent cut in aid to towns and cities, and he rebutted a running argument in the Republican-dominated Legislature that the governor uses rosy revenue estimates in his budgets. He said the budget he proposed Feb. 15 was based on revenue growth of 3.5 percent in the first year and 3.7 percent in the second year of the state’s two-year budget that begins July 1.

The difference in revenues between his proposal and the budget version passed by the House is about $300 million, according to Lynch. He said he expects the Senate, which is now taking up the $10.2 billion plan, to come down somewhere in the middle.

House Speaker William O’Brien, R-Mont Vernon, said Lynch proposed a budget that was already $300 million out of balance, including putting $150 million of the burden onto local property taxpayers. He challenged Lynch when he maintained his budget contains no new taxes or

increases; the governor’s budget had more than $90 million in new taxes and fees, O’Brien said.

“The House needed to make a number of difficult decisions in order to produce a responsible budget that did not use overinflated revenue numbers, did not raise taxes and fees, and did not borrow,” O’Brien said in a statement in response to Lynch’s speech.

“We would have preferred to have the governor join us in bringing the same level of fiscal responsibility to state government. Sadly, he instead chose to repeat the same problems of the last four years ... overinflating revenue estimates, downshifting to local communities, and raising even more taxes and fees after the over 100 tax and fee increases over the last two budget cycles.”

When questioned by an audience member at the Sheraton Portsmouth, Lynch said he would not pledge to veto a state budget based on anything in it, or anything not in it, waiting instead to see the budget in its entirety after the Senate and House finish their work on it.

But he listed his concerns with the House-passed budget, including cuts of 45 state troopers, cuts in funding for the university system, and the elimination of programming for children in need of services. He was scheduled to visit a Seacoast center for mental health services before returning to Concord.

“If you have concerns, which many of you do,” Lynch said in closing, “I really urge you to mobilize and contact your state senators now.”

Parental notification hearing set

BY GARRY RAYNO THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — A bill requiring parental notification before a teenager has an abortion will have a public hearing Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

House Bill 329 (click to view text and status) would require a parent or guardian be notified before a minor has an abortion, but allows a teenager to go to court — rather than her parents -- for permission. The proposed legislation also allows a doctor to perform an abortion on a minor in a medical emergency, a needed provision, according to the U.S. Supreme Court.

HB 329 is similar to a 2003 state law the U.S. Supreme court struck down as flawed because it did not protect the health of young women. The 2003 law was repealed by lawmakers in 2007 and was never enforced.

HB 329’s prime sponsor, Rep. Kathleen Souza, R-Manchester, said she is confident the changes in her bill address the question raised by the Supreme Court and others concerns raised about privacy.

She said the bill gives parents some part in the decision-making process.

The bill does not require parental consent, she noted, but will give parents the knowledge and ability to advise their daughter.

“Young people tend to think their parents will kill them for any transgression -- not just pregnancy, but for a speeding ticket or getting busted for marijauna,” Souza said. “But parents don’t kill them. Instead parents support them all the way.”

She said right now parents are not part of a young woman’s decision to have an abortion.

“That’s not good for the girl. That’s not good for the family and that’s not good for the unborn child,” Souza said.

Other bill supporters have said parents have a right to be informed before such a serious medical procedure is performed on their daughter.

They said the real issue is parental rights and not abortion.

But opponents of the bill say it will needlessly put the lives and health of young women at risk and does nothing to address the core problem of unintended pregnancy.

Senate passes right-to-work bill by veto-proof majority

BY TOM FAHEY THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — The New Hampshire Senate voted 16-8 to pass a right-towork bill this morning.

House Bill 474 would end the rights of unions to collect fees from non-union members in companies they represent, and would make it illegal for companies to deduct those payments.

Union officials yesterday said the bill is an attack on the dwindling middle class. Those who favored the

bill said it is a matter of freedom and personal choice, and argued it will attract new business to the state.

Gov. John Lynch has said he will veto the bill if it gets to his desk. The Senate vote would provide enough for the two-thirds vote it needs to override that veto.

The House passed the bill 221-131, short of a veto override vote. If the House agrees with changes the Senate made, it will go to Lynch’s desk. If not, the bill will to a committee of conference for a compromise.

City unions willing to make deal

BY BETH LAMONTAGNE HALL THE UNION LEADER

MANCHESTER — City unions are willing to make concessions on their contractual health care benefits, a move that could save some of the 50 employees slated for layoffs this summer.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted unanimously on Tuesday to reaffirm the city’s willingness to enter into talks with the unions and allow City Solicitor Tom Clark and Finance Director Bill Sanders to meet with union officials as often as necessary to work out a deal.

Alderman Dan O’Neil, who made the motion, said that city unions have indicated to him a desire to take informal discussions “to a higher level.” The focus at this stage will be on big-cost items, such as contractual health care benefits and cost-of-living increases, he said.

“I am told I can use the word concessions,” said O’Neil. “They told me they are willing to make some concessions on health care.”

Mayor Ted Gatsas has asked all city and school unions to increase the amount they pay toward their health

benefits and the co-payments they make for doctors’ visits. Under the mayor’s plan, employees would pay 20 percent of health insurance premiums and $20 co-pays for doctors’ visits.

The mayor also has proposed that the aldermen and non-union employees who make more than $90,000 a year join this plan. The aldermen voted on Tuesday to send that proposal to committee.

Although city unions have said publicly they are unwilling to make any concessions until their contract expires in two years, unions -- including those who represent police, highway and Fire Department employees — have been meeting with Sanders and Clark every few weeks about a possible deal.

Those talks have been called informal and until Tuesday night, both sides shied away from using words like “concessions.”

Tuesday’s aldermanic vote and the mention of concessions indicates that unions and city officials are closer to reaching a deal that could save city jobs, including some of the 22 firefighters and seven Highway Department employees slated for layoffs on June 30.

The 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 ($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 (603-622.7979) 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.

Once upon a Berlin Time Gorham 1963

1963 V

Hello fellow Berlinites. Last week’s picture of Spike Oleson was a mistake. The picture was that of his brother Alton. I apologize to the family for this error.

In September of 1963, Milton MacGregor celebrated his 79th birthday by hiking across the Presidential Range. What’s more, he did it in less than four hours.

Mr. MacGregor was no ordinary hiker. He had been roaming the “White Hills” since the beginning of the 1900s and was the first manager of the AMC’s extensive hut system.

“Red Mac”, as he was known, predated Joe Dodge, the famous “Mayor of Porky Gulch”, who served as hut manager for over thirty years. As a matter of fact, MacGregor hired Mr. Dodge.

The reason Mr. MacGregor was hiking in September of 1963, was because the AMC was celebrating its 75th anniversary of its famous hikinghut system Coakley Rooney “Red Mac” made his first climb to the Madison Hut in 1911 and had been hiking these mountains since. The Appalachian Mountain Hut System and Mr. Macgregor went hand in hand and he became a hut master at Carter Notch by 1915. This was the same year that the Lakes of the Clouds hut opened. By 1920, Mr. Macgregor was named manager of all the huts.

He had made a pilgrimage to the summit of Mt. Washington, on foot, every year except in 1915. In this year, it was too busy at Carter Notch and the Lakes of the Clouds. Macgregor finished climbing all of the 4,000 foot peaks in 1958, when he was 74 years old.

Milton “Red Mac” MacGregor is certainly a major part of the history of our famous AMC. On Saturday, September 14, 1963, one of Berlin’s greatest dentist and prominent community leader for more than one half century passed away at the new St. Vincent de Paul Home. His name was Doctor Julius Stahl.

This 91 year old man was born in Berlin, Germany, on November 5, 1871 and came to this country with his parents when he was just one year old. After a short stay in New York, his family settled in Gorham. It was in this town that Julius received his early education.

In 1888, Stahl was apprenticed to a dentist and after 18 months, he returned to Gorham to study with Dr. George A. Hoadley. Stahl then entered the Boston Dental College (Tufts Dental facility today).

Upon graduation in 1892, at the age of twenty-one, Dr. Stahl opened a dental office and began his practice in the Clement Block (Gallus-Green site today) here in Berlin.

Within a year, Stahl moved into the Gerrish Block on Main Street. This block was later called the Wagner Block; Woolworth’s and is now the Family Dollar.

He maintained his office in this building until 1957, a period of sixty-five years, before retiring from his pracJulius Stahl tice at almost eighty-five years of age.

Doctor Stahl married Miss Florence L. York of Milan, New Hampshire, in 1897 and through this marriage had two daughters, who now (1963) lived out of town.

This famous local doctor served as president of the Berlin Building and Loan association, which eventually became the Berlin-Cooperative Bank. This bank was situated at 29 Main Street, before and not far from the old Office Products building. It is now part of the Northway Bank. He served them from 1915 to 1953. see 1963 V page 5

How about the gas prices in our own backyard?

To the editor: I’d like to comment on Mr. Marcou’s letter which came out in the Tuesday, April 19, edition of the “Berlin Daily Sun”.

Mr. Marcou talked about higher prices for gas, etc. in the southern part of the state. I was wondering if he noticed the gas prices in his own backyard?

Seems a local convenience store/ 1963 V from page 4

He was also a director of the Berlin City National Bank and the City Savings Bank (Holiday Center Today). Stahl served in a political capacity for Berlin as a city councilman for three years and on the Berlin Police Commission for seven years.

During both World Wars, Stahl was a member of the Medical Advisory Board of the Selective Service and always remained a member.

His accolades continued, as he was a member of the American Dental Association, a life member of the N.H. Dental Society and a member of the Pierre Fouchard Academy (Fouchard was known as the ‘Father of modern dentistry”).

Stahl was also an affiliate of several clubs in Berlin. He was the past exalted ruler and honorary life member of the Berlin Lodge No. 618 BPOE (Elks), member of the Sabbatis Lodge No. 95, a life member of the Berlin Rotary Club and the Androscoggin Valley Country Club.

Doctor Stahl was buried at the Lary Cemetery in Gorham.

Strangely though, he died in a city that had the same name as the one in which he was born over 5,000 miles away.

On the sports scene, it was learned in September of 1963 that the outstanding pitcher and stellar athlete for Notre Dame High School, Coakley Rooney, had signed a contract with the San Francisco Giants.

During the month mentioned, this Berlin young man, who was also a star pitcher for the state champion Berlin American Legion squad had been signed by Frank Sayboth, the Giants scout here in the New England area.

The article stated that Rooney would be assigned to Lexington of the North Carolina League by the spring of 1964.Coakley, who was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Rooney of Berlin, came from great roots. The elder Rooney wrote some exciting pages in the history of North Country baseball during the golden era of amateur and semiprofessional baseball in this area.

Gus, who was employed by the Grand Trunk railroad, played professional basketball in Detroit and later moved to St Johns bury, Vermont, where he continued playing both basketball and baseball.

Coakley’s father made his pres-

gas station which has locations in both Gorham and Berlin (shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who I’m referring to), is charging a higher price in Gorham than it is in Berlin; or at least as of Sunday it was.

Guess we’re closer to the southern part of the state than we thought.

Mary Winslow Berlin ence felt as soon as he moved to Berlin. He was prominent in baseball, when the “Mill League” was in its hay days. His Shell Gas baseball teams carved a niche in Berlin sports lore, where the elder Rooney was the master of the sweeping pitch, known as the “round house curve”.

Besides raising six children, of which I believe Coakley was the youngest, Gus remained include in sports. He coached baseball at Notre Dame High School when they first opened their doors in the early 1940’s and was a moving factor in Little League baseball here in Berlin many years. The elder Rooney started pitching when he was 16 and hung up his glove at 48.Now (1963), his youngest boy was taking over and throwing the baseball well enough to be spotted by Major League Baseball. Gus said that he never got the chance that his son had.

Although only 19 years of age, Coakley had already done a lot of pitching on his own. He established the record total for strikeouts (121) in one season of Little League and was the mainstay of the Notre Dame Rams baseball team in his high school years.

Young Rooney also helped lead the Berlin American Legion team to a New Hampshire state title. In his last two years of legion ball, Coakley pitched 116 innings and had 180 strikeouts.I remember Coakley very well, being friends with him in his younger days and having to face him as an opposing batter. Besides baseball he was also a great hockey player and an all around natural athlete.

I believe he spent a couple of years in the major league farm system, before developing soreness of some type in his throwing arm.

This certainly happened and still does as many young aspiring young players try to make the big time.

Although Coakley passed away a few years ago, every time I would see him in later years, he always remembered our younger days and like his father Gus, he made history in the sport of baseball here in Berlin. He and dad are probably playing ball somewhere unknown.

Rest in peace Coakley.

Compline choir performs every Sunday at St. Barnabas BERLIN -- In a candle lit, incenseburning Episcopal church in Berlin, on Sunday evenings for about 25 minutes singers chant the Office of Compline, the last monastic office of the day. In Seattle the tradition began over 55 years ago at St. Mark’s Cathedral with none but the choir attending. There it has become something of a phenomenon, with upwards of 500 people (many in their teens and early twenties) attending the service, not to mention the thousands in the radio audience and on the Internet each week. Over the years, members of the group who have left Seattle have started observing the office in their new communities.

That observance, together with others like it around the country, has inspired Berlin’s St. Barnabas Compline Choir, which was formed earlier this spring under the direction of Susan Ferre.

Every Sunday night at 8 p.m. the darkened church, St. Barnabas, is open for anyone who wishes to attend, to meditate, to observe, to contemplate

in the quiet, and to receive a blessing for a peaceful and restful night. All are welcome to participate in the Office of Compline. One visitor described the experience, “as if angels were singing one to sleep.”

Compline consists of psalms, short passages from scripture, a hymn, a canticle, collects and prayers, most of which are sung or chanted. As with the earliest practices of the monastic communities, Compline is offered when the work of the day is completed, when the quietness of evening settles over those who have come together in thanks for the blessings of the day. Counter to the current movement in church growth, with trends toward “contemporary” services, the Compline service preserves ancient traditions of simplicity, restfulness and timelessness of text and tune.

The Compline Choir is also supported and encouraged by Music in the Great North Woods. The Rev. Fran GardnerSmith is Rector of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church.

Dylan King completes basic training GORHAM -- On Friday March 25, Navy Seaman Recruit Dylan B. King, son of Lorri-Ann and Michael Guay of Gorham and Brian and Cathy King of Berlin, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, King completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.

The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations”.

This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic

warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly “ N a v y ” was Navy Seaman Recruit Dylan flavor B. King, designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor.

King is a 2010 graduate of Gorham High School of Gorham

probably best to take the bid from Beerwort. He added with an auction, the county really has no idea what it would get.

Brady said even if an auction gets a better price, the county would still need to factor in the commission payment for the auctioneer and other costs. He added the county could wind up with a price lower than the bid.

Country Treasured Fred King said playing with auctioneers can be a unpredictable. He added it’d be better for the commissioners to accept the bid, take the check and be done with it.

Judd relented and agreed to take the bid.

“It’s probably the best deal we’re going to get,” said Judd.

The other bids submitted were from Ethan Wing, of M.E.A.G. Associations with a $107,052 bids; Towne and Sons with a $129,300 bid; Northeast Kingdom Sales with a $135,000 bid; Baskin Livestock with a $133,500 bid; and a bid from Karen Flint for $600 per heifer and $800 per cow.

The commissioners began soliciting bids for the dairy herd since the Coos County Delegation voted to cease dairy operations at the county farm.

Even though the delegation plans to cease the dairy operations, it remains open to the idea of leasing the farm to an outside operation.

During the meeting, the commissioners also reviewed several proposals to lease the farmland, even though it voted to put off a decision until their May meeting.

County Administrator Sue Collins said a request for proposals was put out, and she received three

plus a letter from the Stewartstown Board of Selectmen asking the commissioners to extend the deadline since it has a proposal in the works.

The selectmen, in a letter, asked for more time since it’s trying to formulate a plan to lease the farm that would maintain an agriculture operation at the county complex and maintain that piece of the county’s heritage. The letters adds the proposal would focus on history, heritage, tourism and education.

Judd said the selectmen and the town ought to have the time to put together a proposal.

Collins outlined the three other proposals submitted.

The first from Scott Deblois would lease 115 acres at $10 per acre for a three-year agreement.

The second came from Santa’s Tree Farm, in Colebrook, to lease 138 acres for five years, at $2,500 per year. The proposal would create agri-education and agri-tourism, and center around and center on a corn maze.

The final proposal came from the New Hampshire Institute for Agriculture and Forestry, and would lease the land for $1 in 2011; $500 in 2012; $750 in 2013; and $1,000 in 2014.

The proposal from the institute is lengthy, and Collins said she hasn’t reviewed it closely.

Collins said it’d be better to delay any decision since no one has had a chance to thoroughly review the proposals.

Brady said the commissioner has time to review and doesn’t need to make a decision on the spot.

“We don’t have to rush into anything with the land and buildings,” said Brady.

45th Parallel EMS exploring interest in EMT basic training course ERROL -- The 45the Parallel EMS is exploring whether there is interest in the surrounding communities for an Emergency Medical Technician Basic course. Emergency Medical Services is a rewarding and challenging profession that benefits the community as a whole. There are several providers of Emergency Medical Services in the Great North Woods, both fast response squads and transporting services. In the service area of the 45th Parallel EMS, the fast response squads are Beecher Falls Volunteer Fire Department and Pittsburg Fire and Rescue. Colebrook Fire Department personnel are often first responders at the scene of accidents. Transporting ambulance services in northern New Hampshire include Errol Rescue, the 45th Parallel EMS, Groveton Ambulance, Lancaster EMS, Berlin EMS and Gorham EMS. Emergency medical care is carried out by four levels

of providers, First Responders, EMT-Basics, EMTIntermediates, and EMT-Paramedics. The training is progressive and the educational requirements for the EMT-Basic include certification in Healthcare CPR, 110 classroom hours, and observation time in the emergency room and on the ambulance. The training requires a large commitment of time and energy on the part of the student. Students who successfully complete the course then test for certification by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians and licensure by the state of New Hampshire.

The EMT Basic provides basic life support to the sick and injured. They assess, treat, and transport patients using a variety of equipment including monitors, stretchers, bandages, splints, airway aids, suction, and oxygen. They work cooperatively in teams, from the small team of the ambulance crew, to the large team of multiple responders at a mass casualty incident. They

must be ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Many of the providers of emergency services in this area are voluntary organizations, but the 45th Parallel EMS is the area’s first private, full time ambulance service employing full and per diem employees who respond to 911 emergency calls and requests for transfers to other hospitals for patients requiring specialty care.

The qualifications to train to become an EMT Basic include a high school diploma or GED, good verbal and written communication skills, valid driver’s license, and good driving record. Applicants should be in good physical and mental health. If you are interested in becoming an Emergency Medical Technician Basic, please contact 45th Parallel EMS Chief Rob Darling by e-mail at rdarling@45thems.org. For more information about the 45th arallel EMS, please go to our website at www.45thparallelems@45thparallelems.org and visit us on Facebook.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won’t knock what you haven’t tried.

Furthermore, you’re not likely to believe the reviews, regardless of whether they are good or bad. You feel compelled to experience it all for yourself, so dive in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

A friendly visit will have far-reaching benefits. You will touch on a variety of interests and topics, which will be most enlightening. Bring things back around to your main point at the end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Persuasion is a combination of science and artistic application. You’ll go by the book until you sense that something more is needed. That’s when you use your instinct to strike a deal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll be presenting a case to a group.

They are likely to remember the beginning and the end of what you say -the middle, not so much. So focus on a strong opening and a closing that makes them say “wow.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Drama relies on conflict. And though you like a good story as much as the next person, when it comes to your everyday life, you’d rather everyone just get along.

You’ll be the peaceful agent that makes that possible today.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 21).

There’s a windfall within the next four weeks. The way you use your resources will favorably influence how others feel about you. All efforts to be creative and memorable will be a joy to execute.

You’ll acquire new skills in May. June brings a bold career move. You’ll celebrate family additions in September.

Capricorn and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 2, 50, 15 and 11.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The great outdoors will be the location of your good fortune. In nature, you will feel connected to all things. This connection is made easier by bug spray, sunscreen and proper outdoor attire.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone who is receptive to you will bring out your very best. The barriers to your creativity come down, and you feel momentarily invincible. Arrange to be around this person more often.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll do all that is expected of you, and then you’ll do a little bit more. It’s the extra edge that leads to your success. And you’ll love the astonished reaction you get as you deliver the unexpected.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you do from nine to five will not be nearly as crucial to your happiness as what you do from five to nine. Concentrate your efforts on making the afterhours special for you and your loved ones.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re loyal, and you take care of your people. That’s why you’re likely to do more to forward the agenda of a group than you would do on your own behalf. This is an ideal time to ask for introductions, pointers and access to resources.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Someone close to you has become too isolated, and you’re just the one to help.

This person is floating along in his own bubble, but you can burst the bubble with honesty and plain words.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re usually not interested in making the hard sell, but today is different. You see how good a situation could be for you or someone you love, and you’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen.

THERE’S PLENTY OF BLAME TO SHARE FOR DOG’S INJURIES

DEAR ABBY: “Heartbroken in New York” (March 8) expressed his concerns about his dog “Layla’s” injuries after his son’s friend “Isaac” tried to ride on the dog’s back. He asked you whether he and his wife should inform Isaac’s parents.

You responded in the affirmative and stated Isaac’s parents should be responsible for the damages to the dog.

I disagree. Dog owners are responsible for supervising their pets when children are present. Our dog Max, who I dearly loved and raised alongside our two children, was not by nature fond of children. Therefore, I never allowed him out of my sight when children were around. I supervised him constantly -- for the children’s sakes as well as Max’s.

“Heartbroken” was at least partly responsible because he decided to let Layla fend for herself around Isaac, “who doesn’t have a dog.” While what happened to the animal was extremely unfortunate, holding the other parents responsible for damages is unfair. -- A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE DEAR DIFFERENT: Thank you for your perspective, which was repeated by many readers. I hope the following responses will serve as important reminders to pet owners.

Read on: DEAR ABBY: “Heartbroken” should invite Isaac and his parents over to see Layla with their own eyes so they can understand the extent of the dog’s injuries. Isaac needs to learn that if he hurts another living creature, there will be consequences. Because his parents missed teaching their son this lesson, “Heartbroken” should do it. Childhood is not about being protected from essential life lessons; it’s a time to learn how to become caring, responsible adults. -- LISA IN ALBU-

QUERQUE DEAR ABBY: I found it disturbing that Layla was being kept on pain medication for “three weeks and is growing progressively worse.” That family needs a new vet. X-rays and an MRI should have already been in the works. Yes, such procedures are expensive, but they are also necessary to assist our speechless friends. -- HEALING HEARTS IN NEW YORK DEAR ABBY: The responsibility for any damages caused by an unsuspecting child to the dog should be the owner’s to bear. “Heartbroken” made a mistake by leaving Layla alone with the children. I always keep my pets near me when neighbors visit. It’s my job to protect my pet. If “Heartbroken” had taken the time to set boundaries about playing with the dog, this might have been avoided. What’s sad is that Layla is suffering for it. -- MARY IN JOHNSTOWN, PA. DEAR ABBY: You suggested Layla’s owners tell Isaac’s parents to explain the mistake he made and that they should pay for the damages. There is another important reason for this lesson to be explained. If Isaac tried to ride on the back of a less tolerant dog, he could have been bitten and seriously injured. Even an otherwise gentle dog could interpret a “ride” as a threat and respond aggressively. Pet ownership requires accepting responsibility, and that includes educating those who don’t know in order to prevent accidents or injuries. -SAFETY FIRST FOR DOGS AND KIDS DEAR ABBY: I’m sorry about the injury to that dog. But I guarantee that if the dog had bitten Isaac, his parents would be suing or demanding payment of all medical bills. It’s a sad day for all. -- GARRY IN DAYTON, OHIO

Huskie’s Willey KO’s Lisbon Panthers, 12-0 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LISBON -- The chances of throwing a no-hitter during a ball game happens maybe once or twice during a player’s career. The odds of striking out an entire team during a game?

I’m not sure that has ever occurred and if it has it falls into the catagory of miracles.

Well that scenario played out in Lisbon Tuesday afternoon. Gorham

senior right hander, Doug Willey tossed a neat one-hit, 12-0, five inning victory over the Panthers by striking out 15 Lisbon batters. Willey faced just 16 hitters, allowing a 4th inning seeing-eye single by Lisbon’s Rollie Lacass.

“I have been coaching baseball a long time,” said Huskie mentor Jean LeBlanc. “This was an elite pitching performance against a quality team. One of Doug’s goals this year

was reducing his number of walks.

On Tuesday, he didn’t walk anyone, throwing just 73 pitches.”

The hard throwing right hander was removed from the first game of the season for Gorham, after five innings of work holding a no-hitter.

The Huskies defeated Woodsville 7-0 and Willey shared a no-hitter with junior Cody Gauthier.

“I had to take him out of his first game of the year, holding a no-hitter,”

said LeBlanc. “That says a lot about his character. Our second game of the season was against division III power Berlin and I wanted to have him available to pitch if needed against the Mountaineers. That’s the type of player Doug is, team first, Doug second.”

The game against Lisbon had all the makings of a low scoring old fashion pitcher’s duel. Panther ace Jamsie see WILLEY page 14

Willey went five innings walking one, fanning eight, and retiring the last 13 batters in a row after a first inning walk and an infield error. Gauthier finished out the contest facing six batters, walking one, and striking out one, as his defense turned a double

play for him.

The Gorham boys spread out ten hits during the seven innings. After going 1, 2, 3, in the first inning, the Huskies had the Woodsville pitching staff in hot water for the remainder of the game. Woodsville helped themselves out of some big jams, turning a pair of double plays while the bases were loaded.

The offense was led by junior Jon Chabot. Chabot ripped out a pair of hits and contributed with three

WILLEY from page 13

I have known Doug, or “D-Dub” as we call him, he has an unbelievable work ethic and true passion for the game. Doug takes the time to talk to the other pitchers and our younger players and we have seen a remarkable improvement from his team mates. Its nice to see such positive results for such a good kid.”

The 3-0 Huskies will return to diamond action on Saturday afternoon. The Pittsburg Panthers come to Gorham. Pittsburg eliminated the Huskies from the playoffs last year in a 4-3 eight inning heart-breaker for Gorham. “The players have had that date circled on the calander since we started this season,” LeBlanc said. “Will they see Willey on the hill? I had him penciled in two weeks ago.”

Game time on the Gorham common is 4 p.m.

Myers held the Huskies scoreless the first two innings.

However, that all changed in a nine run third inning by Gorham. The inning was highlighted by junior Jake St Hilare’s grand slam, giving Willey all the run support he needed. Gorham scored two more runs in the fourth and one more in the fifth inning to make it 12-0, setting the stage for the bottom of the fifth inning.

The rugged righty went to the mound for the bottom of the fifth inning. Willey went 1-2 on Smith, 1-2 on Dylan Chase, and 2-2 on Mike Heath, before getting all three hitters looking and shaking their head while walking back to the dugout. That gave Willey 15 out of 15 for the day.

“The more I think about what we witnessed, makes it really satisfying,” said LeBlanc. “We preach to the kids that if you want to get better, you have to work at it during the off-season. Well as long as

RBIs. The key hit was a long triple in the second inning to get the Huskies on the board. Cody LeBlanc, Pat Pike, and Jake St. Hilaire had two hits each with single hits going to Brandon Sanschagrin and Gauthier.

“Doug was very good for us today,” said assistant coach Pete Girouard. “He began to loosen up in third and fourth innings. He was scary good in his last three innings, mixing his curve ball and fast ball. He worked hard in the off-season and made himself even better. Gauthier had a good outing also, doing exactly what we want to
