Senator Gallus announces Berlin schools chosen to he will not seek re-election join Pacesetting Districts BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – In a move that stunned the North Country, State Senator John Gallus yesterday announced he would not run for re-election. “After 10 years in this role and accomplishing so much I feel its time to for someone new to continue in the quest for a better North Country and a stronger Granite State,” he said in a written press release. The Berlin Republican said it was an honor to have represented District 1 in the legislature. “My wife Peggy and I enjoyed traveling across the North Country, meeting new friends, and doing what was in the best interest of our constituents,” he said.

Gallus, who could not be reached yesterday, stressed that he plans to remain active in local and state affairs. The news of his retirement from the Senate quickly drew reactions from a cross section of the political community. “I’m stunned that John is stepping down,” said Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier. Grenier, a Democrat, said Gallus Sen. John Gallus worked across party lines and took a non-partisan approach to serving the North Country. see GALLUS page 18

BERLIN — Two school districts in New Hampshire have been invited to participate in an innovative program designed to help them improve their standardized test results and Berlin is one of them. SAU 3 Business Administrator Bryan Lamirande announced to the Berlin Board of Education last week that the district was tapped to join the Academy of Pacesetting Districts. Berlin would need to provide staff to work on advancing the adequate yearly progress (AYP) efforts for the next year, he explained.

The Academy of Pacesetting Districts is a “year-long opportunity for high level leaders... to explore their current district operations with a particular focus on district support for school improvement,” according to the Center on Innovation and Improvement website. “The goal is to achieve efficient and effective district policies, programs, and practices to enhance growth in student learning through differentiated supports to schools.” Lamirande told the school board that he believed Berlin had been chosen because of the progress they’ve been making see PACESETTING page 18

Study reveals how pigeons navigate

(NY Times) — Birds are famously good navigators. For decades, scientists have known that one navigational skill they employ is an ability to detect variations in the earth’s magnetic field. How this magnetic sense works, however, has been frustratingly difficult to figure out. Now, two researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Le-Qing Wu and David Dickman, have solved a key part of that puzzle, identifying cells in a pigeon’s brain that record detailed information on the earth’s magnetic field, a kind of biological compass. Their report appeared online in Science Express on Thursday. Navigating by magnetism includes several steps. Birds have to have a way to detect a magnetic field, some part of the brain has to register that information, and, it seems likely that another part of the brain compares the incoming information to a stored map. The Baylor researchers have offered a solution to the middle step. They identified a group of cells in the brain stem of pigeons that record both the direction and the strength of the magnetic field. And they have good, but not conclusive, evidence to suggest that the information these cells are recording is coming from the bird’s inner ear. Dr. Dickman said this research “is still something we want to pursue.”

Court: Ex-president of Liberia aided war crimes

THE HAGUE (NY Times) — Charles G. Taylor, the former president of Liberia and once a powerful warlord, was convicted by an international tribunal on Thursday of arming, supporting and guiding a brutal rebel movement that committed mass atrocities in Sierra Leone during its civil war in the 1990s. He is the first head of state to be convicted by an international court since the Nuremberg trials after World War II.

After 13 months of deliberation, a panel of three judges from Ireland, Samoa and Uganda found Mr. Taylor guilty of crimes against humanity and war crimes, including murder, rape, slavery and the use of child soldiers. But the judges said the prosecution failed to prove that Mr. Taylor directly commanded the rebels responsible for the atrocities. The conflict in Sierra Leone became notorious for its gruesome tactics, includ-

ing the calculated mutilation of thousands of civilians, the widespread use of drugged child soldiers and the mining of diamonds to pay for guns and ammunition. A new, sinister rebel vocabulary pointed to the horrors: applying “a smile” meant cutting off the upper and lower lips of a victim; giving “long sleeves” meant hacking off the hands; and giving “short sleeves” meant cutting the arm above the elbow.

Edwards’ lawyer accuses Aging Japanese town bets on former aide of shakedown young mayor for its revival GREENSBORO, N.C. (NY Times) — Andrew Young, a former top aide to John Edwards, was shaking down one of the former senator’s wealthy donors for hundreds of thousands dollars behind his boss’s back, defense lawyers for Edwards argued on Thursday during Edwards’s federal corruption trial. Abbe Lowell, Edwards’ defense lawyer, displayed a series of personal checks to the court that had been written by Rachel Mellon, a banking heiress and a major contributor to Edwards’s campaigns for president.

Lowell then matched each check with call logs from Young’s mobile phone, showing that within a day or two of a phone call from Young to Mellon, a new check would arrive. The checks are at the crux of Edwards’s trial. Edwards’s defense team says the money from Mellon was intended to be used to care for Rielle Hunter, with whom Edwards had an affair that produced a child, but that Young, who was serving as the middle man in the arrangement, began to take much of the money for himself.

YUBARI, Japan (NY Times) — Most young people have already fled this city of empty streets and shuttered schools, whose bankrupt local government collapsed under the twin burdens of debt and demographics that are slowly afflicting the rest of Japan. Now, Yubari, a former coal-mining town on Japan’s northernmost main island, Hokkaido, is hoping an unlikely savior can reverse its long decline: a 31-year-old rookie mayor who has come to symbolize the struggle confronting young Japanese in the world’s most graying and indebted nation. “Japan will tread the same path someday,” said Naomichi Suzuki, who a year ago this month became the youngest mayor of the country’s most rapidly aging city. “If we can’t save Yubari, what will it mean for the rest of Japan?” Japan’s overall population fell by a record quarter-million to 127.8 million last year, hurt by falling birthrates and people departing for other countries.

N.H.’s U.S. Senators popular in latest poll MANCHESTER — The state’s senators are viewed favorably in a new poll, while the two House members — who may face tough re-election bids — don’t fare quite as well. The WMUR Granite State Poll shows that New Hampshire residents have increasingly positive feelings about U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte. Shaheen, a Democrat, is the most popular member of the congressional delegation, according to the poll. The poll shows that 58 percent have a favorable opinion of her, up 5 points since February. Her unfavorable numbers have held steady at 28 percent. “She’s the most popular person in the state, with the exception of Gov. John Lynch,” said pollster Andy Smith of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. The poll of 538 randomly selected New Hampshire adults was conducted for WMUR by the UNH Survey Center from April 9 through April 20. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points. Ayotte, a Republican, is viewed favorably by 43 percent of New Hampshire adults, compared to 29 percent who have an unfavorable opinion of her. Both numbers are up slightly from February. “Her net favorability rating is plus 14, down a little bit from where it was a year ago, but still in a relatively solid range,” Smith said. Favorability ratings are more split for the state’s House members. “This is where things get interesting,” Smith said. “In the 1st District, U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta, his favorability ratings have been stable but not particularly good.” The poll shows 31 percent with a favorable opinion of Guinta, a Republican, compared to 28 percent with an unfavorable opinion. His favorability is down slightly from February but much better than over the summer, when he had a minus 6 percent net favorability. The 1st District poll of 230 likely voters has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 6.5 percentage points. U.S. Rep. Charlie Bass, Republican,

has a positive net favorability for the first time since he was elected, with 39 percent expressing a favorable opinion of him, compared to 36 percent with an unfavorable opinion. “This is the first time he’s been over zero in the favorability ratings since February 2011,” Smith said. “So, he had a significant drop but has come back up.” The 2nd District poll of 251 likely voters has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 6.2 percentage points. The poll shows Guinta and Bass are facing significant challenges for reelection. Rematches are likely in both races against their previous Democratic opponents. If the election were held today, the poll shows Guinta losing to former U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter 44 to 39 percent, with 16 percent undecided. Shea-Porter’s net favorability is now at plus 13 percent, compared to two years ago when she was at minus 7 percent. “As she’s been out of office and out of the public eye, people still recognize the name, but the negatives associated with her have drifted away somewhat,” Smith said. The poll shows a neck-and-neck race in the 2nd District between Bass and his previous challenger, Democrat Ann McClane Kuster. Forty percent said they would support Kuster, compared to 39 percent for Bass and 20 percent undecided. Smith said the poll shows Kuster has lost some name recognition since the last race. “So what’s happened to her essentially is that as she’s been out of the public eye, and not being as wellknown as Carol Shea-Porter going into the election, she’s really drifted off the radar screen,” Smith said. Smith said it appears no one will win big in November’s high-profile races. “The key is going to be which party is more able to motivate their voters to get to the polls and which party has the more dispirited voters,” he said. —Courtesy of WMUR

The End of Newt

Well, the results of the latest wave of primaries are in. The people have spoken, decisively. All 10 of them. I am exaggerating. In Rhode Island, well over 3 percent of the eligible voters flocked to the polls on Tuesday, as the overwhelming majority declared their enthusiasm for Mitt Romney as the Republican presidential nominee. We are totally talking mandate. And I cannot tell you how much excitement there was in New York. Six percent turnout! In my neighborhood, the atmosphere was electric. Voters had not been so politically exercised since that year we had a primary pitting a recently deceased congressman and a member of a cultlike group led by a Marxist psychotherapist. And, wow, no more Newt Gingrich. Newt is reportedly planning to drop out of the presidential race on Tuesday. The crushing blow was the Delaware primary, where the Gingrich campaign had hoped to win a dramatic come-from-behind victory under the theory that only a couple of Republicans would actually vote and that they would be the same people who once nominated Christine O’Donnell for the Senate. Unfortunately, a whopping 16 percent of the eligible electorate showed up, way too big a crowd for the fragile Gingrich candidacy to withstand. This has been a terrible month for Newt. His campaign is millions in debt. His pet billionaire, Sheldon Adelson, seems to have deserted him. He was bitten by a penguin at the St. Louis Zoo. And now this. Did you ever notice how many of the Republican candidates seemed to have animal issues? Rick Perry shot that coyote, and Jon Huntsman got bitten by a goat — really, that was the high point of the Huntsman campaign. Also, Senator Rob Portman of Ohio, the veep front-runner, recently imitated a chicken on television. You will be hearing more about this incident because I think I speak for the entire national media when I say that we are planning to discuss possible Republican vice presidential candidates nonstop through the spring and summer. And the winner is the guy who drove to Canada with the family dog strapped to the roof of the car! “My guess is you’ll see a dramatic difference in the youth vote this time — part of it is you have a younger, more dynamic Republican candidate,” said a Romney surrogate, former Senator Hank Brown. Take that, young Americans. You can’t find jobs because the baby boomers are never

going to retire. The Republicans in Congress want to raise the price of student loans. And, in politics, 65-year-olds get to be the youth candidate. We are now in for six months of Mitt Romney versus Barack Obama, and with the polls showing the race to be very close, you could argue that it is going to be really exciting. Except for the fact that it’s Mitt Romney versus Barack Obama. Ignore the polls, I beg you. It will just make you nervous and crazy for no good reason. When it comes to their political preferences, the American people are like a bunch of middle school students picking their best friend on Facebook. Do you know who one of the most popular political figures in the United States is right now? Hillary Clinton! Nearly two-thirds of Americans are crazy about Hillary Clinton, and only 27 percent view her unfavorably. Do you remember when she was the most polarizing name in politics? Do you remember when she lost to Barack Obama and we all said it was like the cool popular guy versus the hard-working student council treasurer? Barack Obama would kill for Hillary Clinton’s favorability ratings now. Romney is now busy with a passel of closed-door fund-raisers in states like New Jersey and New York, which he will never, ever, visit for any other reason than closeddoor fund-raisers. Newt’s future plans are unknown. Perhaps he will go back to that great job he had before, getting $300,000 fees for his advice as a historian to corporations with big financial interests pending in Congress. And what about Rick Santorum? You can’t spend the rest of your life not endorsing Mitt Romney. The only guy who seems to have his future plotted out is Ron Paul, who is apparently planning to continue running for president while we all ignore him. So many surprises to look forward to. What humanizing interchange will Mitt have with the public next? Will it be as good as the last one, when he insulted the cookies at a Pittsburgh community center? Will he win over the loser Republicans’ billionaires? Their celebrity supporters? Rich guys are one thing, but Gary Busey will take some wooing. Will he ever release all his tax returns? Will he keep the Kid Rock theme song for his campaign? Have we ever had a presidential nominee who walks on stage to a song that seems to suggest he is “wild, like an untamed stallion?” When we did, would you have imagined it would be Mitt Romney?

Brutality of Servility Maybe we gave up on John Edwards too soon. His hair still looks great, even though he now gets cuts for $12.95, not $400. And the man clearly has a gift for multitasking under pressure.

In the winter of 2007, as Edwards campaigned for the presidency in Iowa, he still found time to check up on his pregnant girlfriend, Rielle Hunter, who was on the lam with see BRUTALITY page 5

fall guy Andrew Young and his family, zooming around in private jets to luxe resorts and haciendas in Aspen, Santa Barbara and Florida. Even as the candidate schemed to lie to his cancer-stricken wife about a looming National Enquirer scoop on the “love-child bombshell” and finger Young as the baby’s father, Edwards made sure to call the fugitives on expense accounts to apprise them of the size of his crowds, his waits in green rooms, and his feelings about his TV gigs. “That went very well,” he said of a guest spot on “Larry King Live” on CNN to discuss the assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan. Before a rally in Waterloo, Iowa, he crowed: “We’ve got a big crowd, a huge crowd here.” But hell hath no fury like a sycophant scorned. In the equivalent of Monica’s blue dress, Young decided to save the “corroborating” cascade of fretting, preening phone messages from Edwards, checking on the paramour and courtier he had exiled and slandered in an insane attempt to stop his presidential bid from exploding. As Edwards sat silently rubbing his neck and staring dolefully at Young, the lead witness for the prosecution in the government trial accusing the 58-year-old of accepting illegal campaign contributions to stash his pregnant mistress, his voice rang across the courtroom as those old messages were played. “I hope y’all are O.K.,” perky Edwards said as pulverized Edwards listened. The jury watched with interest as the former poverty crusader sat at the defense table while the prosecutor flashed pictures of the ritzy places where Rielle hid out with carte blanche and a credit card made out in the name of R. Jaya James. Young noted that sometimes the New Agey Hunter would veto an expensive suite saying that the rooms didn’t have the right energy: “I took it to mean they weren’t nice enough.” He said that he and Edwards plotted about where to get money to secretly support Rielle after a furious Elizabeth Edwards learned of the affair and had the former New York party girl fired as an overpaid campaign videographer. “This was going to be a long-term problem,” Young said dryly. “Miss Hunter had good taste.” Young testified that Edwards’s rationale for not hearing details about the checks used for the “cover-up” —

off your dancing shoes, and get ready to celebrate spring (and Cinco de Mayo!) at what is sure to be a great event! The GCLC is a nationally-accredited, non-profit organization which provides child care, preschool, school age and toddler programs to children between the ages of 18 months and 12 years from Gorham, Randolph, Shelburne, Berlin, and Milan.

$1 million solicited from two wealthy donors, the late Fred Baron and the 101-year-old Bunny Mellon, who sent “Bunny money” through an interior designer with red herring notations about antique furniture — was that he didn’t want to have to lie in case he was ever sworn in as attorney general. (Another hallucination, since Barack Obama never had any intention of giving that post to a man he considered a pretty boy.) It was a pathetic measure of his vertiginous fall that he once thought he could be the boss of the very prosecutor pushing for him to go to jail for up to 30 years and pay up to $1.5 million in fines. Sitting behind Edwards, as Young described the fortune lavished on Rielle, was his family, who once thought he would be in White House: his 30-year-old daughter, Cate, a lawyer who is strategizing with her dad on the case; his elderly father, the former textile millworker; and his mother. His parents, disdained by Elizabeth as “hicks,” brought their own seat cushions. Everyone’s arguing whether Edwards is a swindler or merely a swine. He’s certainly the latter. Young testified about Edwards’s reaction when he told the candidate that Rielle was pregnant and threatening to go public: “He said she was a crazy slut and there was a 1-in-3 chance that it was his child.” He ordered Young to keep it from Elizabeth. The case is supposed to be about exceeding a $2,300 individual campaign contribution limit, quaint in light of Citizens United. But it’s really a set of intersecting love stories. Andrew, a caricature of calculated servility, loved his golden boy boss — “more than he loved Cheri,” his wife, Rielle said. Flaky Rielle loved the “hot” meal ticket Johnny. Bunny Mellon crushed on John because he reminded her of the Kennedys. And John, of course, loved John, growing so narcissistic that he was blind to Andrew’s bile and his own grand delusions. Andrew, who has a law degree, fell out of love when John, Elizabeth and Rielle treated him like an errand boy. Elizabeth wanted him to change light bulbs and pick up dry cleaning while Rielle sent him for organic food but went shopping herself at Neiman Marcus. Did he think: Why shouldn’t I have some of that hush money for myself? It’s a trial without heroes, just liars and an abhorrent trio of selfish people trying to spin the story their own way.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis tain context with accompanying rituals. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You recognize the sound of a soul’s cry, and it won’t be heard with your ears but with your heart. You’ll be in tune with the way others are feeling, and you’ll be a healer when those feelings are raw. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Usually, your actions are motivated by many different factors at once. What you do today will be motivated by a sense of duty, your own aesthetic enthusiasm and the chance for political gain. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you know what it’s like to love a certain person and not have that love returned, then you may also understand that it is just the kind of loss from which great art springs. You’ll turn past pain into something beautiful. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re a true friend and a stellar partner, which you’ll prove with today’s approach to relationships. You’ll loan your strength to another instead of using it as a weapon of control. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll plan your day intelligently in the hope that less time will be wasted in mindless activities and useless chatter. Your forethought works brilliantly to keep you moving along your path. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 27). You’ll break big goals down into small chunks and get to work in May. June puts a new person in your life, and you’ll be creatively inspired because of this influence. August is your chance to trade up on a big-ticket item. With great emotional maturity, you’ll lead the way for loved ones in September. Virgo and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 4, 17, 39 and 18.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Today brings a surprise and the thrill of experiencing what you couldn’t have anticipated. You are always finding new ways to unwind. Tonight, your favorite music will transport your mind to a beautiful place. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are finding a new sense of identity apart from your family role. You accept that your family did their best for you, and this is what allows you to accept yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When your sign mate Walt Whitman wrote that there “will never be any more perfection than there is now,” he wasn’t talking about the “now” that happened back then. He was talking about the “now” in which you are reading this. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Righteousness doesn’t solve anything and instead promotes a sense of inequality and division. That’s why you’ll focus on yourself and on doing what it takes to make your life better, regardless of the wrongdoings of others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be playing a social game of sorts. Some will take it far more seriously than you do, and this gives you an advantage. You’ll rise above the situation and form a strategy instead of reacting to the play-by-play. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be brimming with cool, novel ideas for creating fun times with your loved ones. Of course, until you try them out, you can’t tell just how cool they are. Follow through, and bring a camera. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Like a silk cloth dropped from a monument, life reveals itself to you with a degree of pomp and circumstance. You’ll enjoy the way events will be framed in a cer-

For Rent by Abigail Van Buren

FACEBOOK THANK-YOUS ARE NO SUBSTITUTE FOR INDIVIDUAL NOTES

DEAR ABBY: I recently attended a baby shower for a dear high school friend and his wife. The day after the shower, she posted a slideshow on Facebook titled “Thanks for All Our Gifts” with a picture of each gift and who gave it. She has had numerous miscarriages and held this shower at five months, knowing the baby is not yet at a viable stage. While I feel sympathy for her fertility issues, and especially for her husband who desperately wants to be a father, I think this is a bid for attention. I am disgusted at how she seems to be bragging about her haul, yet prepping everyone to give her an outpouring of support if there is another tragic loss. Who does this? I am ... SPEECHLESS IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR SPEECHLESS: Most baby showers are given four to six weeks before the mother’s due date. However, it’s possible that your friend’s wife had hers at five months because, with her history of miscarriages, she’s excited that her pregnancy seems to be progressing well and she’s thinking positively about the outcome. I hope it works out well and so should you. As to her method of thanking everyone for the gifts, she may never have been taught that individual thank-you notes should have been sent to each guest. Because it is clear that you are closer to the husband than the wife, perhaps you should tip him off that it’s still not too late for them to do the right thing and suggest he help her with them. DEAR ABBY: I have been divorced from my wife for almost a year, with another year of separation preceding that.

We divorced because of arguments, not because of abuse, adultery or substance abuse issues. The divorce actually seemed to take on a life of its own. Because I have a small son with her, I desperately want to attempt a reconciliation. She is reticent about it, however, mainly because I believe she’s getting pressure from her family. How can I persuade her to go out with me so we can rekindle the spark we once shared? -- MISSING MY OLD LIFE DEAR MISSING: Before a couple can successfully reconcile, they must first resolve the problems that caused the separation in the first place. That would be the way to begin. However, are you aware that not once in your letter did you say that you still love your ex-wife? If the reason you want to “rekindle the spark” is that you miss being with your child and the comforts of being married -- but not her -- then I don’t think you have much chance of success. DEAR ABBY: My child’s best friend has a parent who is constantly late (to the tune of hours, not minutes). I understand that the child is not at fault, but my child’s feelings are hurt by the blatant disregard of the other parent’s tardiness. How do I help this parent (whom I adore otherwise) to understand that disappointing my child through poor time management is not acceptable to our family without hurting both children? -- WATCHING THE CLOCK DEAR CLOCK WATCHER: If you haven’t told the parent that it is hurtful when your child is kept waiting for hours for a play date, you should. And if that doesn’t bring the desired result, your child should be encouraged to move on to some other activity and/or another companion.

In light of this lack of indepth information, the school board opted to table a decision until more information on the ins and outs of the program and its impact on the school district was available. According to the project summary authored by the Center on Innovation & Improvement the main thrust of the project is to allow local school officials to develop their own capacity to affect school improvement and student learning outcomes. Districts are required to put together a staff team that will explore school-level indicators of effective operation and practice, participate in three distance learning sessions throughout the year, as well as monthly work-sessions and mentor-

Department of Education said that innovation is something the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of Education are encouraging across the state to help districts find what works for their schools. The Academy of Pacesetting Districts is a national program is managed in each state by the Department of Education, with support from the a regional oversight group and the Center on Innovation & Improvement. The Center on Innovation & Improvement is administered collaboratively by the Academic Development Institute, based in Illinois, the Temple University Institute for Schools and Society (Philadelphia, PA), Center for School Improvement & Policy Studies at Boise State University (Boise, ID), and Little Planet Learning (Nashville, TN).

Fourth straight for Berlin girls’ softball team, 12-2 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

TILTON--The Berlin girls softball team scored four times in both the fourth and fifth innings, helping the Mountaineers to earn a 12-2 victory over the Winnisquam Bears in Tilton Wednesday. The Lady Mountaineers got things going in the top of the second inning. Rachel Thompson and Kyanna Lefebvre sandwiched a pair of walks around a Morgan Boucher single to load the bases. Morgan Ouellet worked her at bat for an RBI walk. Kelly Dube knocked in a run on a hard hit grounder and when pitcher Megan Hood lofted a sacrifice fly, Berlin led 3-0. The Bears looked to make a game of it scoring two runs in the

bottom of the third inning. A walk and a Mckenzie Burdick RBI triple made it 3-1. Burdick never stopped at third base when the relay throw from the Berlin outfield went to second base. That made it a one run Berlin lead at 3-2. The Berlin girls opened up their offense in the top of the fourth inning. Liz Thagourus doubled and went to third on a pass ball. Dube placed down the perfect squeeze bunt and when there was no play to be made, Dube had herself an RBI single. A few pitches in the dirt later, Dube touched home on a Hood RBI ground out. Erin Holt kept things going when she was hit by a pitch. Carly Perreault roped an RBI triple, Thompson reached on an error, and Boucher walked to load the bases. Lefebvre walked to force

in a run giving Berlin a 7-2 lead. Berlin added on another four runs in the top of the fifth inning. Ouellet walked and Dube doubled putting runners in scoring position. Hood knocked in her third and fourth runs of the game with a double. Holt walked and Perreault doubled in both Hood and Holt to make it 11-2. Defensively, Berlin was fielding flawlessly and Hood had her strikeout pitches going. The Mountie lefty set down fourteen Bear batters on strikes, making it a long afternoon for the home team. Berlin pushed across their last run of the day in the top of the sixth inning. Hood’s fifth RBI of the game plated Dube, who began things with a two out double to make the final score 12-2.

The win was the fourth straight for the Lady Mountaineers. Berlin’s 4-1 record has them in the fifth spot in Division III. The Bears dropped to 4-2 and are not far behind Berlin in the standings. Berlin will have their work cut out for them in the coming weeks. Three of the tougher teams in the division will take on the Mounties. Berlin is at White Mountain Regional Wednesday, home vs Franklin Friday, and at Gilford on the following Monday. The outcomes of these games will be a great measuring stick for first year coach Rollie Poirier.

Huskie offense too much for Linwood BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LINCOLN--The Gorham boys baseball team continues to score a lot of runs, touching home plate thirteen times in the Huskies 13-3 victory over the Linwood Lumberjacks in Lincoln Wednesday. It was the first road game for Gorham and the Huskies got to work in the top of the first inning. Senior Pat Pike singled and got to second base on a pass ball. Cody Gauthier hit a grounder and the play was made to get him out, advancing Pike to third base. The Linwood first baseman tried to get Pike at third base. However, his throw was off course and went out of play allowing Pike to make it home for a 1-0 score. In the top of the second inning, pitcher Brian Veazey doubled and Brady Fauteux reached on an error. Catcher Tyler Sanschagrin squeezed Veazey home to put the visiting Huskies on top 2-0. Gorham refused to go quietly in any inning against the Lumberjacks. In the top of the third, Sammy Jensen doubled and then Gorham batters drew a pair of walks to load the bases. Veazey helped his own cause by hitting a single to knock in two runs for the 4-0 lead. Linwood tried to make a game of things, plating two runs in the bottom of the third inning to cut the Gorham lead to just two runs at 4-2. The Huskies plated a six spot in the top of the fourth inning. Pike

singled, Jensen reached on an error, Gauthier had an RBI single, St Hilare a two RBI single, Jon Chabot walked, Fauteux reached on an error, Brett Labnon was hit by a pitch, and Sanschagrin capped it off hitting an RBI producing double for a 10-2 Gorham lead. In the top of the fifth inning, Gauthier doubled and was followed by a St Hilare double. St Hilare eventually scored on a pass ball. With Gorham leading 12-2, Linwood needed to score a run in the bottom of the fifth inning to keep the game going. The Lumberjacks were able to plate a run to keep themselves alive at 12-3. Gorham scored ugly in the top of the sixth inning. Sanschagrin walked, stole a base, moved again on a pass ball, and eventually scored on a wild pitch to make it 13-3. This time Veazey kept the Lumberjacks from scoring and the game was stopped via the 10-run rule. Veazey was tough on the hill again, allowing only four hits, walking three, and striking out nine. The Gorham boys will travel to Groveton on Friday for a collision course with the Purple Eagles. Groveton has had a solid spring and it should make for a good contest. Game time is 4 PM. GHS 1 1 2 6 2 1 13-11-0 LHS 0 0 2 0 1 0 3-4-4 Pitching: GHS- Veazey and Sanschagrin, LHS- Vance and Caulder, WP- Veazey, LP-Vance.
