Mt. Jasper subcommittee working on management plan for site BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – A subcommittee formed to look at protecting Mt. Jasper has moved away from placing an easement on the city-owned mountain and is now working on a management plan for the historic property. Last spring, Sally Manikian, then with Tri-County Community Action Program, approached the city about putting a conservation easement on the property to prevent any further development of the

summit area. Manikian had successfully applied for a grant from the Tillotson Fund to protect the 2,068 mountain. The council was mixed on the concept of putting an easement on the property and decided it wanted to see a copy of the final easement before making any commitment. It asked the planning board to work with a subcommittee on a draft easement that the council could review. The planning board suggested a first step for the subcommittee was to get a detailed map of the property. Manikian hired GIS specialist Peg Heaney to

prepare a set of maps for the 203-acre parcel. Those maps revealed there are already three layers of protection on the property. There is an overlay zone that that the city approved three years ago. That zone, measuring 91 acres, requires that any development proposed within the zone must first come before the planning board for review. Approximately 41 acres of the property is listed on the National Register of Historic places as the Mt. Jasper Lithic Source, offering some limited protection to the famous Jasper see PLAN page 8

BERLIN — Critical thinking, creative problem solving, and teamwork — those are the skills local students say they learn from participating in Destination ImagiNation, better known simply as “D.I.” The team from Berlin High School, recently scored well in one of the handful of regional competitions and this past weekend traveled to Winnacunnet High School to compete in a state contest that tested those key skills as well as their ability to collaborate and improvise against other top teams in the state. The BHS team of Kelly Stock, Kathryn Record, Amanda Shute, Kienan Wood and Reilly Wood, placed second at the regional competition on Saturday March 10, competing in the fine arts category, where they were tasked with creating see QUALIFIES page 11

Community survey on consolidating schools or services is “next step’ BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

A link is already active on the SAU 20 website (www.sau20.org) and will soon be available on the SAU 3 website (www.sau3.org) according to SAU 20 Superintendent Paul Bousquet. The survey, listed on SAU 20’s site as the “Next Steps Questionnaire” has just five questions and looks to gauge public sentiment on the streamlined issues discussed at the community forums on education held throughout the region last fall.

At the meetings where the information gathered from the forums was shared, the community was told that a committee would be formed consisting of one representative from each community as well as the superintendents of both SAUs. That committee met in November and identified their next step, which was to more broadly gauge the feelings of the public, which is what they hope to do with this

Some like it hotter

(NY Times) — It was 105 degrees — as hot as a typical steam room — at Pure Yoga on the Upper East Side on a recent Saturday, but for the 16 women already perspiring through a series of plié squats in a ballet-based barre method workout, it wasn’t blistering enough. “We’re turning it up to 110 degrees by popular demand,” the instructor, Kate Albarelli, 31, announced in the sort of cheerful tone that would usually signal a time to rest. The women looked as delighted as if she’d given them one. That’s because the heat is on for a workout promising not just the best body, but also the best sweat. A small but growing upscale clientele, most conditioned to years of regular workouts, won’t leave the locker room for much below 90 degrees. (Typical gyms are 68 to 72 degrees, in line with American College of Sports Medicine guidelines; Manhattan’s hottest recorded outdoor temperature is 106.) For these religious exercisers, based mostly in New York and Los Angeles, only sweltering temperatures produce adequate workouts: a jackhammering heart rate, pliable muscles and a psychologically satisfying sweat that devotees describe as “detoxing.” So gyms and studios are trying to lure them with ever hotter, harder yoga classes, in addition to roasted versions of Pilates, kettlebells, group cycling and more. (Cue Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” which seems to appear on every playlist.)

Insider: China sees U.S. as competitor, declining power

BO’AO, China (NY Times) — The senior leadership of the Chinese government increasingly views the competition between the United States and China as a zero-sum game, with China the likely longrange winner if the American economy and domestic political system continue to stumble, according to an influential Chinese policy analyst. China views the United States as a declining power, but at the same time

believes that Washington is trying to fight back to undermine, and even disrupt, the economic and military growth that point to China’s becoming the world’s most powerful country, according to the analyst, Wang Jisi, the co-author of “Addressing U.S.China Strategic Distrust,” a monograph published this week by the Brookings Institution in Washington and the Institute for International and Strategic Studies at Peking University.

In a joint conclusion, the authors say the level of strategic distrust between the two countries has become so corrosive that if not corrected the countries risk becoming open antagonists. The United States is no longer seen as “that awesome, nor is it trustworthy, and its example to the world and admonitions to China should therefore be much discounted,” Wang writes of the general view of China’s leadership.

(NY Times) — At least 20 times a day, Alan Hladik walks into a fixer-upper and tries to figure out if it is worth buying. As an inspector for Waypoint Real Estate Group, Hladik takes about 20 minutes to walk through each home, noting worn kitchen cabinets or missing roof tiles.

betting is poised to explode. With home prices down more than a third from their peak and the market swamped with foreclosures, large investors are salivating at the opportunity to buy perhaps thousands of homes at deep discounts and fill them with tenants. Nobody has ever tried this on such a large scale, and critics worry these new investors could face big challenges managing large portfolios of dispersed rental houses. Typically, landlords tend to be individuals or small firms that own just a handful of homes.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Supreme Court on Monday ruled by a 5-to-4 vote that officials may strip-search people arrested for any offense, however minor, before admitting them to jails even if the officials have no reason to suspect the presence of contraband. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, joined by the court’s conservative wing, wrote that courts are in no position to second-guess the judgments of correctional officials who must consider not only the possibility of smuggled weapons and drugs but also public health and information about gang affiliations. Under Monday’s ruling, Justice Kennedy wrote, “every detainee who will be admitted to the general population may be required to undergo a close visual inspection while undressed.” Justice Stephen G. Breyer, writing for the four dissenters, said strip-searches were “a serious affront to human dignity and to individual privacy” and should be used only when there was good reason to do so.

State says data breaches becoming more common CONCORD — In the wake of a credit card data breach that may have compromised 1.5 million people, state officials said consumer information is increasingly at risk. Visa announced it is suspending business with a processing company that may be to blame for a data breach in which credit card information was stolen. Visa and MasterCard said the information didn’t include birthdays, Social Security numbers or addresses. It’s unclear if anyone in New Hampshire was a victim. But Jim Boffetti of the state attorney general’s consumer bureau said data breaches are becoming a chronic problem. “It’s amazingly frequent the number of notifications we get under the New Hampshire statute for data breaches,” Boffetti said. The notifications can range from a compromised laptop to the hacking of a major database, but Boffetti said a breach

doesn’t necessarily translate to fraud. “And most of these don’t,” he said. “You see thousands and thousands of breaches that have happened involving thousands and thousands of customers, but most of those are never adversely affected, but there’s a potential.” James Dunphy, president of Hampshire First Bank, said that while consumers should be aware of potential data breaches, banks and credit card companies also monitor for unusual activity. “Some people may have gotten calls from credit card companies or others saying, ‘You have a transaction in Manchester and another in Columbia. It doesn’t look right,’” Dunphy said. The attorney general’s office keeps a list of data breaches on its website. Officials said those who suspect they are victims of a breach should contact their banks or credit card companies. —Courtesy of WMUR

Crash victim remembered as kind SALEM — Massachusetts State Police are trying to determine what caused a crash that killed a woman who grew up in southern New Hampshire. Ashleigh Baudin, 25, was killed Sunday when her car crashed into the back of a box truck parked in the breakdown lane of Interstate 93 in Stoneham. Police said a passenger was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. Baudin attended Salem High School, where Superintendent Michael Delahunty was principal at the time. “It hits you like a thud in the gut,” Delahunty said. “You feel very empty. Shocked. She was just a great presence, a terrific personality.” Delahunty said he remembers a focused, hard-working girl who at the time aspired to be a teacher. “I just remember her as being very kind, a sweet girl,” he said. Baudin eventually had a career in

financial services, but before that, she worked with children at Canobie Lake Park for four years. She won the Pinnacle Award in 2009, which is given by the New England Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions for outstanding work ethic and great customer service skills. “Ashleigh will always be a part of the Canobie family,” the park said in a written statement. “Her memory and her dedication to the park will live in every one of us. She will always be remembered for her infectious smile and positive attitude towards life.” Police said it’s unclear why Baudin’s car drifted into the breakdown lane, but alcohol and drugs don’t appear to be factors. While state police were responding to the crash, a man crashed into one of the cruisers and a tow truck. He was charged with DWI. —Courtesy of WMUR

TERRA FIRMA

Man accused of posing as federal agent NASHUA — A Pelham man has been charged with false impersonation after police said he walked into the Nashua Police Department wearing tactical style clothing, handcuffs and a sidearm, claiming he was a with a counter-terrorism task force. According to police, Julion Lima had a shirt that said “Federal Agent.” Court records said when officers asked for identification, Lima said he had lost his credentials during a foot chase in Boston. Court documents said Lima produced a military identification card -- a records check showed he was not

associated with any law enforcement agency. Officials said the firearm was a pellet gun, and Lima was also carrying a tactical knife in his pocket. Police said Lima called ahead to make an appointment with the desk sergeant, saying he wanted to share information. Nashua Police Lt. Michael Moushegian said it is not unusual for federal authorities to come in and introduce themselves to local law enforcement to try to develop a working relationship. Lima’s bail was set at $1,000 cash. —Courtesy of WMUR

LBO Holdings donates $1,870 to Rec. Dept. To the editor: This letter is to express our sincere thanks to LBO Holdings, dba Attitash/Wildcat Mountain for considering the Berlin Recreation and Parks Department a deserving recipient during a recent fundraising event. Proceeds from their Season Pass Holder and Auction party were distributed to three organizations, Berlin Recreation being the beneficiary of a generous donation of $1,870.00. Many more third to sixth grade students will be able to receive lessons during the 2013 ski and snow board season because of the thoughtfulness of Wildcat

and all the auction participants. While still enduring a tough economy, it is nice to know the winter sports of skiing and snowboarding will go forward as a Berlin Recreation program due to the kind charity of many. Scholarship applications will be available in late fall. Parents of students entering third through sixth grade in 2013 should stay tuned and remind their children eligibility is also dependent on exceptional school behavior as well as financial need.

Rec. Dept. grateful to S.Turmel for his support To the editor: Another Berlin recreation hockey program, the Saturday morning 10 - 16 year old league, just completed their eight week season and I wanted to acknowledge the hard work and commitment of recreation employee Scott Turmel. When a previous coordinator/official could not help out this year, Mr. Turmel stepped forward to offer his time and talent so that we would not have to cancel the program. Scott made sure this department had all equipment necessary, sometimes even borrowing from other leagues. He also offici-

ated and organized the program each week and ended the season with a celebratory pizza party. Yes, pizza at 9:30 a.m.! The players loved it. Thank you Scott for realizing the importance of providing a program for those handful of ten to 16 year old young men who wished to continue their hockey experience in a low-key, enjoyable environment. This department is truly grateful to have Scott Turmel as an employee and recreation supporter! Terry Letarte, Recreation Programmer Berlin Recreation & Parks

Mayor’s Report

Judging by the weather we’ve had lately, you couldn’t begin to guess that spring is only a week old. That’s ok, however, I’ll take all the sun and warmth that comes our way now. Public Works employees will be very busy here in the next few weeks sweeping and cleaning roadways to remove sand and debris. The street sweeper can be loud, dusty and dangerous. Please, use caution when this equipment is near you. Our PWD employees can’t always see and hear people because of noise and dust. By now it has been reported that the city of Berlin will roll out a new recycling effort soon. The city council has a target roll out date of July 1. We are in the process of re-writing the ordinance that deals with the handling and disposal of solid waste. Be aware that this new effort will be taken seriously by the city. There could be punitive measures up to and including citations and fines, and for repeat offenders, the loss of the privilege of curbside trash removal by PWD. The idea obviously is not to “punish” anyone for noncompliance, but rather begin to separate and remove recyclables from the waste stream. We will be putting forth a very intensive and informative campaign to re-emphasize the importance of recycling. Currently, Berlin as a whole is doing a poor job overall in its efforts. There could be as much as $100,000 in savings and revenue increases if every Berlin citizen makes an honest effort. I know we can do it and we will provide the tools and education to get the job done. I want to thank Berlin’s members of the Coos County delegation for passing the FY 2012 Coos County operating budget. It was not an easy budget to pass considering the additional amount of money needed to raised by taxation. Our frail and neediest residents deserve to live in an atmosphere of love, acceptance, and respect. Our two county run nursing homes time and time again are highly recognized by the experts on the level of care given to our residents. My sincere heartfelt thank you go to our county employees for their pride and excellence in the performance of their jobs. To Representatives Gary Coulombe, Robert Theberge, Marc Tremblay and Yvonne Thomas, thank you also for the work

you do for Berlin in Concord. Speaking of Concord, there has been a concerted effort in the House to force PSNH to divest of all of its generating assets. One of those is the J. Brodie Smith Hydrostation Project in Berlin. Over the years, PSNH has been an excellent corporate citizen here. They are deeply involved in the Moving Downtown Forward initiative, and have funded multiple economic efforts here in Berlin. Let’s not forget the hundreds of thousands of dollars PSNH spent to permit the Berlin Station Biopower project. Truth be told, Smith Hydro and the Goebel Street substation together has a tax value of a bit over $60M. That represents roughly 17 percent of Berlin’s taxable valuation. That is why I have made two trips to Concord to testify in opposition to HB 1238. The language of the bill seems to be written by PSNH’s competitors and the stranded costs associated with the divestiture would leave us all with sharply higher electric rates as well as higher property taxes in Berlin. The city council is elbow deep in the FY 2013 municipal budget process. The city manager’s recommended budget eliminates four full time positions and reduces another to part time. Even after that, the proposed tax increase is a bit over $4 per thousand. This will be a difficult year as they always are, but this year a tax increase seems unavoidable. The city council and I will work as hard as we can to keep any increase to the bare minimum. Lastly, to all of the residents who supported our new state champion BHS basketball team, thank you. To Coach Picard and all of the student athletes, thank you for a ob superbly done! The Notre Dame Arena also will be making another sizeable investment this summer. We have ordered and will install a new state of the art evaporate condenser to the ice plant. The new unit will replace one that was installed shortly after NDA was rebuilt in 1969. The installation will be completed by local experts Chris Hansen and Rick Lambert of Nordic Construction, LLC. I want to thank Chris and Rick for really taking on this project and really shows what community pride is all about!

“Live Free or Die!,” the motto adopted by the State of New Hampshire in 1945, is a quote from the state’s Revolutionary War General John Stark. In 1809, Stark was invited to speak at an anniversary of the Battle of Bennington. Illness prevented his presence but he sent this toast: “Live free or die. Death is not the worst of evils.” “Live free or die” has become a slogan for those who oppose government regulations. But that fight was already joined almost two centuries before the phrase was coined. Early New England libertarians faced a formidable oppo-

nent in the person of John Winthrop. In his famous “City on a Hill” sermon in 1629, Governor Winthrop outlined his vision of a colony where the good of the community would be paramount and where the personal profit motive would be reined in. As a means to that end the Massachusetts Bay Colony sought to instigate wage and price controls. Examples of proposed regulations include the following: “…it shall be lawful for the governor…to appoint a reasonable rate of prices upon all such commodities as are, out of the ships, to be bought and sold in the country… see PURITAN page 5

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 3, 2012— Page 5

PURITAN from page 4

“To the intent that all oppression in buying and selling may be avoided, it shall be lawful for the judges in every town…to appoint certain selectmen, to set reasonable rates upon all commodities, and proportionately limit the wages of workmen and labourers…” Economics, as a discipline, was in its infancy and Winthrop may have been attempting to institutionalize what was then common practice. The accepted exchange rate was something described as a “just” price. When supply and demand factors were in balance, the just price generally approximated what we would call today the market price. But when fluctuations occurred, a group of impartial local community leaders would be assigned the responsibility for determining what price was just. Winthrop envisioned that responsibility resting with the Colony’s Governor and Council. An early test of the system was how well it dealt with an acute housing shortage. Winthrop’s own fleet introduced 1500 new settlers and, during the next 12 years, 20,000 more would arrive. Few of these arrivals were skilled builders and many of them had to make do with very makeshift dwellings. One man described his solution in this way: “We built us our wigwam, or house, in one hour’s space. It had no frame, but was without form or fashion, only a few poles set together, and covered with our boat’s sails, which kept forth but a leetle wind, and less rain and snow.” Those unable or unwilling to fend for themselves engaged in a mad scramble to hire anyone with a modicum of construction skills. Winthrop, himself, described what happened: “The scarcity of workmen had caused them to raise their wages to an excessive rate, so as a carpenter would have three shillings to the day, a laborer two shillings and sixpence, etc.; and accordingly those who had commodities to sell advanced their prices sometime double to that they cost in England… which the court, taking knowledge of… they made an order, that carpenters, mason, etc., should take but two shillings the day, and laborers but eighteen pence, and that no commodity should be sold at above four pence in the shilling more than it cost… in England.” This was the first effort to impose wage and price controls in what is now the United States. Over the years since, similar controls have been imposed during periods of economic stress, but always as a remedy for short-term problems and not as a form of long-term market manageAGAIN from page 4

Correction

ment. Winthrop soon found that controlling wages was easier said than done: “The court having found by experience, that it would not avail by any law to redress the excessive rates of laborers’ and workmen’s wages, etc. (for being restrained, they would either remove to other places where they might have more, or else being able to live by planting and other employments of their own, they would not be hired at all), it was therefore referred to the several towns to set the rates among themselves. This took better effect, so that in a voluntary way, by the counsel and persuasion of the elders, and example of some who led the way, they were brought to more moderation than they would by compulsion. But it held not long.” Price controls were no more successful and, in fact, there were very few prosecutions. The most famous of those that did take place involved a wealthy merchant named Robert Keayne. Keayne considered himself a devout Puritan and a responsible citizen. He was bewildered by the 1639 indictment brought against him and by the wave of recriminations which followed. Keayne never got over it. In his will he poured out his bitterness in a long defensive statement which is recognized as the contemporary merchant’s answer to Winthrop’s controls: “[My own offense} was so greatly aggravated and with such indignation pursued by some, as if no censure too great or too severe, as if I had not been worthy to have lived upon the earth. [Such offenses] are not only now common almost in every shop and warehouse but even then and ever since with a higher measure of excess, yea even by some of them that were most zealous and had their hands and tongues deepest in my censure… “…Was the selling of 6d. nails for 8d. per lb. and 8d. nails for 10 d. per lb. such a crying and oppressing sin?... The contrasting positions represented by Keayne and Winthrop have been dueling ever since. A recent article on current political events in a national news magazine described “…a fight over the nation’s character, waged between two archetypes of the American dream. In one corner is the rugged, up-by-the-boot-straps individualist. In the other is the egalitarian, level-the-playing-field populist.” So, when next you contemplate your license plate, think about General Stark’s second line; “Death is not the worst of evils.” Perhaps the worst of evils is to be overcharged for a bag of nails. I made, this is the hardest part of being terminated, the friendships you make. Wal-Mart is a throw away business as I have been thrown away also. I no longer have any health insurance or coverage for our medications this is very concerning to us. Cindy Riendeau Berlin

More Breast Feeding News. Did you know that many medications prescribed by your health care practitioner, (hep), are compatible with breastfeeding? By the time the medication reaches the baby through the breast milk, it has already been processed by the mother’s liver and therefore the dose the baby gets is usually (though not always) about one percent. There are many factors involved, but if you’re unsure, and you’ve been prescribed a drug by your hep, and wish to continue nursing , give me a call and I can research it for you! If you’re a nursing mom and need assistance in anything breast feed-

Petition at community health centers urges public support

BERLIN -- Anyone who enters one of the Coos County Family Health Services buildings will find a petition requesting support for community health centers around the country. These petitions urge Federal, State and local legislators to support funding for CCFHS. The goal is to collect 2,000 signatures for Coos County by July 4, 2012. The Community Health Center movement is part of an effort by the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) to counter-act the rising cost and complexity faced by health care providers in small towns, rural areas and some inner-city populations. As the structure of health insurance changed over the years, combined with rising costs of equipment and training, groups of family practice providers found themselves forced to choose between denying service to patients, including infants and the most vulnerable, and being forced out of business, unable to keep their doors open or to stay current with developments in mediSURVEY from page one

survey. Bousquet said that the group collaborated to create the five questions which seek to gauge the level of community support for combining administration, combining high schools, combining middle schools, or moving forward with no changes. The questionnaire also asks respondents what town they live in and what role they play in the school; citizen (not a parent), parent, middle school student, high school student. “The questions are pretty straight and to the point,” Bousquet said. The group is hoping that by creating an online survey, more people will participate than did at the community forums. More responses will offer a better idea of how the citizens feel about future consolidation efforts. “I think that this will help us to see if we are going to continue,” he said, and “wee what direction we’re going.” He added that the students were added in to the survey so that they had a voice in the process as well. “If you’re talking about middle or high school students why not ask them,” Bousquet said. Any future studies on consolidation or efforts to

cine. NACHC was established over 40 years ago to help primary care associations provide education, training and technical assistance to both new and established health centers. Most Community Health Centers have independent roots. Often, as with CCFHS, they originated more than a generation ago as coalitions of human services providers within the county and across the country who were interested in serving the medically underserved with accessing health care and related social services. With help from NACHC, which sponsors this petition, CCFHS provides access to everyone, regardless of their income. Signing this petition will help CCFHS maintain the major funding that it annually receives from the federal government. You do not have to be visiting a health care provider to step in through our doors and sign the petition at any one of the CCFHS offices located at 2 Broadway Street in Gorham or 59 Page Hill, 133 Pleasant Street, or 54 Willow Street in Berlin.

move in that direction will have to go before the voters, he explained, so the committee felt it best to get a feel for the public’s opinion before moving forward with an effort that may or may not be supported. The best way for that to happen is for as many people as possible to fill out the survey. In addition to providing the online survey, a hard copy of the survey will be available at the SAU offices and local schools, Bousquet said, for those who are uncomfortable with the web format or who do not have internet access. Those interested in taking the survey online can go to www.sau20.org and click “Take the Survey” to answer the five questions or go directly to https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YQRNQZL. In addition to Bousquet and SAU 3 Superintendent Corinne Cascadden, the Next Steps Committee includes Bob Lord (Errol), Jacqueline Quintal (Milan), Sue Solar (Dummer), Angela Brown (Randolph), Karin Dorval (Berlin), Ben Mayerson (Shelburne) and Sharyl Graham (Gorham). Anyone who needs more information on where to get a survey or how to participate can call the SAU 20 office at 466-3632 or SAU 3 office at 752-6500.

Jasper mine and associated areas which were used by the Native Americans to extract rhyolite to make tools. Another 27 acres is under a conservation easement granted to the state Department of Resources and Economic Development as part of mitigation for the proposed wood pellet plant. The plant was not built but the easement remains. It covers some of the wetlands on the lower end of the property. Manikian, who now works as Backcounty Resource Conservation Manager for the Appalachian Mountain Club, said given the protection that already exists, the subcommittee decided to focus on putting together a management plan or user guide - detailing the location of trails, maintenance plans, stewardship, and what can and can’t be done on the property. Last summer, students in the Berlin High JAG Program developed the first designated trail up the mountain under the supervision of the AMC. Before the trail, local people hiked to the summit using an informal trail system. Manikian said the trail has proven popular with hikers and snowshoeing enthusiasts. School officials have indicated they want to open up property on the back side of the high school in the near future for a biomass boiler and a bus garage. An access road could provide some trail parking. There are several snowmobile trails that run through the property and the local ATV club would like to see an ATV trail to the summit. Two local hiking groups have expressed interest in rock climbing on the mountain. In February, the subcommittee met with State Archaeologist Richard Boisvert to talk about the historic significance of the property. The Mt. Jasper site was used as a source of rhyolite during a period that extends about 9,000 years ago up to about 500 years ago. Once the stone was extracted from the mountain, it was used to manufacture tools such as knives, spear points, scrappers, and other tools for cutting and piercing. Some of the tools were made nearby but the stone is believed to have been used throughout northern New England. It has been estimated that three million tools were produced out of rhyolite taken from the site. Boisvert expressed concern about protecting the historic sections of the property and said he was not in favor of an ATV trail on the site. He said he thought the trail to the summit was logically and would allow use of the property while steering traffic away from the more vulnerable parts of the property. “For me the real attraction up there is the view,” he said. Manikian said the subcommittee decided to put out a request for proposals from firms interested in doing a natural resource inventory of the site. Such an inventory would look at the geological features of the property such as forest species and ecosystems that would help guide management decision and recreation planning. The subcommitte hopes to select a firm by next week to allow for an April 11 tour of the property. City Planner Pamela Laflamme said once the subcommittee has put together some preliminary recommendations it would go to the planning board and council for feedback.

a skit that would serve as a movie trailer for a fictional movie. The skit needed to include special effects, an original soundtrack and characters from two nations. In an interview leading up to this past weekend’s statewide competition, Record said that the team took the critique from their second place regional finish and used it to make improvements to their skit prior to heading south for the state contest. While the team is challenged throughout the preparations to come up with a creative, wellexecuted concept, they can set up in one minute and perform in four minutes, they are also challenged in their ability to work together on the day of the competition. All teams must compete in the “Instant Challenge” in addition to their chosen event. In the instant challenge, you are given a problem and your team has to work out a solution on the spot. The combined scores of the instant challenge and the event determine which teams move on to

the next level. The teens said they like that DI has limited adult involvement and challenges their own creativity. All of the ideas and concepts used have to come from the team members themselves. The adult advisors are only allowed to prompt and question the team in order to help them come to their own answers and ideas when they are stumped, said Record, who is a senior and had helped coach a younger team. “Basically as a coach you have to ask questions to try and get them to come to a solution,” she explained. The BHS team not only created props for their movie trailer skit, for the fictional film “Not So Happy New Year,” but also a soundtrack as well. They were finishing work on their dragon head prop last week, which featured a working mouth and eye lids. To go with the puppet, the female team members had re-written the words to the song “Kung-Fu Fighting” and recorded their own version to accompany the skit. BHS’s success did not continue on Saturday

at Winnacunnet, however, and the team finished outside the standings in their division effectively ending their DI season for this school year. Hollis-Brookline, Pinkerton Academy and InterLakes High School won the “Coming Attractions” event and will travel to Tennessee to represent New Hampshire in the Destination ImagiNation Global Finals this summer. The regional competition on March 10, featured not only the high school team, but also a junior high and elementary school teams from Hillside. The junior high team won third place in the Improv category, while the Hillside team won second place in Improv as well. Both teams were given a current event and then four minutes to prepare a skit based on that event and one minute to perform it. A second Hillside team took third place for the Scientific category, where they had to assemble a prop powered by solar energy and develop a skit based on the theme “The Solar Stage.” and also won a Leonardo daVinci Award for creativity.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis have a physical sense of yourself that doesn’t entirely match up to your whole identity. Like Alice said to the caterpillar in Wonderland, “I can’t explain myself ... because I am not myself, you see.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are sincere and straightforward, and you see no harm in shooting from the hip. You have nothing to hide, so what could go wrong? You’d like others to do the same, as that would certainly keep things simple. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Like an audience trying to clap in time with a shaky rhythm section, a pattern you just established may quickly fall apart. Don’t give up. Tonight, you’ll have another chance to get into a solid groove. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No one said that expanding your awareness was going to be easy. There’s a certain amount of discipline that will be necessary, and you’ll have to let go of the way you used to see things. You’re ready in every way. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Try not to be idealistic. Learn the truth. Your happiness depends on having an accurate understanding of what others need and want. Otherwise, you’ll be in danger of becoming disillusioned. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 3). Your birthday is like the wave of a magic wand. The first gift: You’ll finally make time for the things you love but have rarely been able to do until now. The next 10 weeks ramp up your professional scene. July and September are good for your financial bottom line. The most romantic months are May, June and December. Pisces and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 10, 30, 26 and 2.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a wide range of emotions and do not just operate on one note. Anyone who thinks you should always be cheerful is being unreasonable. Expressing your true feelings makes you credible and trustworthy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s something specific you do in your work that sets you apart from the crowd. You’ll have the chance to share with others how you came to do it that way. The information is more valuable than you know. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can tell that you’re focusing externally when little things get in your way that really shouldn’t make a difference to you at all. Turn your focus inward. Being internally centered will smooth your path. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People can be as territorial as animals and even more so under today’s aspects. You’ll recognize people’s zones and be careful not to enter into them unless you’re doing so for a particular reason. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You wouldn’t trust anyone who sounded sweet all the time. Remind yourself of this when you feel like expressing your edgy attitude. It’s perfectly natural, and it might even render you more sincere. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As you lift a hand to help another, you are lifting your own spirits, whether or not you thought they needed lifting. Why put a limit on how good you should feel? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Seize the opportunity for stillness and peace wherever you can get it. A calm body and mind will give you the sense that you can make it through the wilderness of today’s busy agenda. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll

CHEATING HUSBAND WILL NEED SUPPORT TO COPE WITH DIVORCE

DEAR ABBY: I have been separated from my husband, “Fred,” for several months because of his infidelity. He is pushing to move back in together and has been very insecure and overly clingy. He constantly accuses me of not paying enough attention to him, no matter what I do or how much time I spend with him. Fred and I have two children, so this has been difficult for all of us. But I’m frustrated with his disrespect for my space and seriously considering divorce. I want to tell him, but I’m worried about his reaction since he cries every time I mention anything that implies that I might “give up on us.” He was married once before, and told me that he had to stay with his brother for a while afterward to make sure he wouldn’t hurt himself. His family lives 400 miles away, and he wants to visit them soon. Would it be wrong of me to call him while he’s there and tell him it’s over? I feel he’ll need support when he gets the news, and I don’t want him to be alone. He’s a good father and good friend. I do love and care about him, and don’t want him to do anything that will hurt himself or his children, but I can’t stay married to someone who cheats on me. Any suggestions? -- TORN IN PIECES DEAR TORN: To stay married to someone because you think he might hurt himself would be giving in to emotional blackmail. Fred is clingy and needy because he now realizes what his cheating may have cost him. Of course it’s a turnoff. However, before ending the marriage, it’s important that you understand your disgust with him is mixed with your anger at his betrayal. That’s why you could both benefit -and communicate more honestly and safely -- if you sched-

ule some appointments with a licensed marriage and family counselor. If, during that time, you decide you still want a divorce, the place to tell him would be in the therapist’s office. You won’t be alone. He will have emotional support, and his family can be told immediately afterward. DEAR ABBY: I am a 46-year-old married man and have been with my wife for 23 years. We were both married before and have two children from our prior marriages. Our children are now grown and live their own lives. I have recently learned that I’m terminally ill and, as I come to the end of my journey here on Earth, I need some advice. My son, 26, does not know he’s not my biological child. His mother was pregnant when she met me and we never told him. As I make my final preparations, I am conflicted as to whether I should. How do I address this? Or do I even address it all? If I do it before I pass away, I’m afraid he will be upset and angry and turn away from me. If I do it afterward, via taped video message or handwritten letter, I won’t be there to answer the questions he’s bound to have. Where do I go from here, Abby? -- UNSURE IN MISSOURI DEAR UNSURE: Please accept my sympathy for your poor prognosis. Your situation is regrettable, but please don’t shoulder all the blame. Your first wife shares some of it, too. The young man has the right to know that, while you love him and have raised him as your own, he isn’t your biological child. He should be told before your death, in person, and nothing should be left out. If possible, his mother should participate in the conversation. And if she knows who the father is, your son should have access to an accurate family medical history.

100,000 Vertical Challenge raises record funds for Make-A-Wish Foundation of NH PINKHAM NOTCH, NH – A total of 20 skiers and riders registered and accepted the challenge to conquer over 100,000 vertical feet in a single day on Monday, March 12th to benefit Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Hampshire. Weather for the event was ideal for the field of male and female, young and old, and ski & snowboard participants to push themselves to complete the marathon alpine event. This year’s participants were able to collectively raise over $90,000 in pledge donations to set an event record high donation amount for their efforts. Loading the Wildcat Express high-speed summit quad chairlift at 7:30am to begin the 100,000 vertical foot challenge (skiing or snowboarding a minimum 48 runs down the Lynx trail), all but 2 of the participants were able to complete the personal challenge. More impressive, top fundraisers for this year’s 100K Day were lead for a third year in a row by Kevin Elwood of Oxford, Mass., having raised over $81,000. Chris Leuci of Lynnfield, MA was second top fundraiser and Ben Wiggin of Conway, NH was the third highest in collected donation amounts for the event. Wildcat Mountain was most recently recognized by Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Hampshire among its “Chris Greicius - Society of Strength” donor level noting that the event’s annual cumulative giving has surpassed $100,000. Now in its ninth year, the event is approaching $300,000 total and continues toward the next recognized Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Hampshire level set at $500,000. The annual event is unique to Wildcat Mountain coupling the accessibility and speed of the Wildcat Express high-speed, summit lift and the ski area’s greater than 2,100 vertical foot drop. Wildcat Mountain would like to thank all participants, donation supporters, volunteers, and recognize the generosity of those that helped to make the event possible providing in-kind support and top fundraising prizes including: Rossignol Skis, Fischer Skis, Dakine, Attitash Mountain Resort, and Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England. The mission of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Hampshire (www.newhampshire.wish.org) is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. It strives to provide children with the hope for better times, the strength for the tough times and the joy to experience the present. The Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Hampshire is part of the nation’s largest and most recognized wish-granting organization, with chapters and volunteers throughout the United States and the world.
