It was the end of a era yesterday afternoon as the last of the Rite Aid buildings on Main Street were demolished. Over the past two months, the remaining block of buildings purchased by Rite Aid Corporation back in 1998 have been razed. Rite Aid initially purchased the buildings with plans to build a new store there but the company ran into financial difficulties soon after purchasing them and never moved forward on the project. The buildings have sat vacant except for the one occupied by J.C. Penney, which continued to operate until the summer of 2010. Fittingly, the J.C. Penney building was the last to be torn down. Couture Construction, the contractor for the demolition, began working on the J.C. Penney builing last week. Yesterday, it took several hours and a few mishaps but the final corner section was down after just noon. Phil Bedard of Couture Construction said he was relieved that the demolition of the buildings was completed without any major mishaps. It took four excavators and a full crew of workers to do the project. Rite Aid Corporation said it will market the vacant lot. (PHOTOS BY RITA DUBE AND BARBARA TETREAULT).

Search suspended for body of man who New FEMA maps add 100 fell into crevasse in Tuckerman Ravine properties to flood zone BY ERIC EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

PINKHAM NOTCH — Unsafe conditions have forced rescuers to put on hold the search for the body of a Boston man who slid into a crevasse in Tuckerman Ravine on Sunday. Norman Priebatsch was descending Tuckerman Ravine on foot, according to a U.S. Forest Service statement, when “he fell, slid over a rock band, and continued downslope before falling into a deep crevasse at about 3:30 p.m.” Rescuers see no chance that Priebatsch is still alive. Several skiers and other members of Priebatsch’s party witnessed the fall. They tried shouting down into the hole but heard no response, prompting them to call for a rescue. U.S. Forest Service snow rangers, assisted by several other agencies and volunteers, tried late into the night to locate Priebatsch. One snow ranger was “lowered with lights and rescue equipment approximately 50 feet

into the crevasse,” according to the forest service statement. “Visibility was restricted to about 80 feet. The crevasse, filled with hanging ice, running water and undermined snow, narrowed below that point. It was determined that lowering further into the crevasse was not possible due to significant safety concerns for rescuers.” It was 11 p.m. by the time the effort was over, and there was still no sign of Priebatsch. The search was put on hold at that point, according to the statement. “The accident site will be constantly monitored for changing conditions to allow resumption of recovery efforts.” “As of today the snow conditions remain pretty dangerous,” said Tiffany Benna, a forest service spokesman. “Efforts are still suspended.” Other rescuers involved in the effort, however, suggest that suspension will last for a while. see SEARCH page 7

BY BARBARA TETREAULT BERLIN – New flood insurance mapping by the Federal Emergency Management Agency will dramatically increase the number of city properties listed as being in a flood zone. City Planner Pamela Laflamme said currently there are 12 properties in the city considered in a flood zone. Based on her analysis of the revised maps, she believes that figure will increase to approximately 115 properties. Laflamme said the affected properties are along the Androscoggin River, Jericho Brook, and the Dead River. “There are a lot of people

who will now be affected,” Laflamme said at Tuesday’s planning board meeting where the subject was discussed. The change in the flood zone designation will have a considerable impact on property owners. Homeowners in flood zones are required to purchase flood insurance if they have mortgages with lending institutions. Flood insurance can be fairly pricey. The re-sale value of property in a flood zone can also be affected. “We’re going to have some upset residents,” Laflamme predicted. Laflamme said she has see FEMA page 8

Dinosaurs big as buses and fuzzy as chicks (NY Times) — Fossils discovered in northeastern China of a giant, previously unrecognized dinosaur show that it is the largest known feathered animal, living or extinct, scientists report. Although several species of dinosaurs with feathers have already been uncovered in the rich fossil beds of Liaoning Province, the three largely complete 125-millionyear-old specimens are by far the largest. The adult was at least 30 feet long and weighed a ton and a half, about 40 times the heft of Beipiaosaurus, the largest previously known feathered dinosaur. The two juveniles were a mere half ton each. In an article in the journal Nature, published online Wednesday, Chinese and Canadian paleontologists said the discovery provided the first “direct evidence for the presence of extensively feathered gigantic dinosaurs” and offered “new insights into early feather evolution.” Xing Xu of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing, who was the lead author of the paper, said in a statement that it was “possible that feathers were much more widespread, at least among meat-eating dinosaurs, than most scientists would have guessed even a few years ago.”

(NY Times) — Teams of scientists working independently to understand the biology of autism have for the first time homed in on several gene mutations that they agree sharply increase the chances that a child will develop the disorder, and have found further evidence that the risk increases with the age of the parents, particularly in fathers over age 35. The gene mutations are

extremely rare and together account for a tiny fraction of autism cases — in these studies, only a handful of children. But the odds that two or more people in any small group will have such problems in the same genetic location are vanishingly small, strongly suggesting that the mutations are related to the diagnosis. Scientists have been debating the relative influence of inherited risk and environmental fac-

tors in autism for decades, and few today doubt that there is a strong genetic component. But biologists have groped in vain for a reliable way to clarify the underlying genetics of these so-called autism spectrum disorders, including Asperger syndrome and related social difficulties that are being diagnosed at alarmingly high rates — on average, in one in 88 children, according to a government estimate released last week.

Iran’s efforts to stir Afghan violence worry U.S. WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Just hours after it was revealed that American soldiers had burned Korans seized at an Afghan detention center in late February, Iran secretly ordered its agents operating inside Afghanistan to exploit the anticipated public outrage by trying to instigate violent protests in the capital, Kabul, and across the western part of the country, according to American officials. For the most part, the efforts by Iranian agents and local surrogates failed to provoke widespread or lasting unrest, the officials said. Yet with NATO governments preparing for the possibility of retali-

ation by Iran in the event of an Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities, the issue of Iran’s willingness and ability to foment violence in Afghanistan and elsewhere has taken on added urgency. With Iran’s motives and operational intentions a subject of intense interest, American officials have closely studied the episodes. A mixed picture of Iranian capabilities has emerged, according to interviews with more than a dozen officials across the government, most of whom discussed the risks on the condition of anonymity because their comments were based on intelligence reports.

Deadly blast shatters calm in Somali capital

MOGADISHU, Somalia (NY Times) — A bomb exploded during a ceremony on Wednesday at the newly reopened National Theater here in the Somali capital as the prime minister was addressing the guests, turning an event that had been a welcome sign of growing calm into a grisly reminder of the many troubles still plaguing the country. Somalia’s Ministry of Information said that four people, including two prominent sports officials, were killed, though officials said the prime minister, Abdiweli Mohamed Ali, was unhurt. Several journalists and a lawmaker were wounded. Somali officials and some witnesses said a female suicide bomber was responsible. But in a claim of responsibility, Somalia’s radical Islamist insurgent group, the Shabab, said its operatives had planted explosives at the theater in advance. “Everything was carefully planned and orchestrated,” the organization said in a Twitter message. The blast came amid significant signs of improvement in the capital, Mogadishu, a rubble-filled city ravaged by 21 years of civil war.

Bass pushes back over push polling allegations

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

CONCORD — U.S. Rep. Charlie Bass is denying any wrongdoing in the face of state attorney general accusations that his campaign violated state law during the heated 2010 congressional race. Bass defeated Democrat Annie Kuster in the race. The Attorney General’s Office said an email from Bass’ manager to the National Republican Congressional Committee shows that the campaign violated push polling laws. “The campaign didn’t conduct a push poll,” Bass said. “We know that. It was an issue-ori-

ented call similar to those conducted by any other campaign.” The email expresses concerns about the campaign being connected to push polling and asked that the Bass Victory Committee identifier be removed from the end of a call that went out to 400 voters. Anne Edwards of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said that’s where the campaign made a mistake. “If they had identified that they were behind the call, this wouldn’t be an issue,” Edwards said. “And

they could have identified that they were involved in a joint effort with the NRCC, but instead they chose to have their name removed from it.” Bass said he will fight the charge as a matter of principle. “I have not violated New Hampshire law,” he said. “The courts will find that to be the case, and that will be the end of it.” The complaint against Bass’ campaign is a civil, not criminal, charge. —Courtesy of WMUR

Detective testifies in accused Senate panel sends right-towork bill to full chamber police shooter’s hearing MANCHESTER — A Manchester police detective who spoke with Officer Dan Doherty after he was shot last month testified in the suspect’s probable cause hearing Wednesday morning. Myles Webster, 22, of Litchfield, is facing an attempted murder charge after police said he shot Doherty during a foot chase when Doherty was responding to a call on the west side at about 6:30 p.m. on March 21. Detective Patrick Houghton testified that before the shooting, Webster was involved in an argument with acquaintances inside of a Hyundai Sonata. According to a witness in the car, at one point during the argument, Webster shot a gun out of the car window. He also said he would “take out a cop” if he was ever arrested, the witness told police. During the argument, plain-clothed officers working in the area saw Webster get out of the car and believed he might be armed. They called for officers to respond and Doherty arrived at the scene in a marked cruiser, Houghton said. Doherty told Houghton he chased Webster and was close enough to tackle him in the area of Wayne and Rimmon streets when Webster turned around and shot him. “He felt pain in his lower left leg, causing him to fall to the ground,” Houghton said. “While he was on the ground, on his back, the suspect continued shooting him. He could feel the rounds striking him. As Officer Doherty was looking up, he observed the subject actually advance on him.” Police said Webster fired 15 rounds at Doherty, and four or five bullets struck him in the leg and torso. Houghton said Doherty was able to return fire, and Webster ran away -10 casings from Doherty’s gun were found at the scene. “Officer Doherty explained they continued shooting at each other,” Houghton said. “He watched as the defendant began running away towards Rimmon Street.” Houghton said Webster ran through yards and climbed fences in an attempt to get away from pursuing officers, but he eventually fell into a pool and was arrested. A black Glock semi-automatic handgun was found nearby, Houghton said. During booking, Houghton said Web-

ster shouted, “You might as well just kill me. I’m going to jail for life anyways.” Webster told detectives he didn’t remember anything that happened that day and that he only remembered being arrested and brought in for booking, according to a police affidavit. Houghton said a bullet traveled through Doherty’s internal abdominal region and caused injuries to his intestines and a pelvic fracture. He also said Doherty had several fractures in his left tibia, a hematoma on his upper thigh and a laceration on his colon. Doherty continues to recover at Catholic Medical Center. Houghton said Doherty identified Webster as the man who shot him from his booking photo that was shown on television. Houghton also said he interviewed several witnesses who gave similar descriptions of the suspect: a slim Hispanic man, dressed in dark clothing with long, bushy hair. The defense asked Houghton about one witness who said they saw a white man with a silver gun, and another witness who told a newspaper he saw two men shooting at the officer. Houghton said that witness later told police he was unsure if the second man he saw had a gun. According to court paperwork, Webster goes by the nickname “Easy” and this was not his first time being in trouble with the law. In April 2010, Webster was arrested on charges of domestic assault and battery. One month later, police in Londonderry arrested Webster on a charge of unlawful possession and intoxication. In October 2010, Webster was indicted on federal weapons charges. He pleaded guilty to making false statement and was sentenced to 13 months in prison, with two years of supervised release. Late last year, police said Webster walked away from a federal halfway house in Boston and was sentenced to another six months in prison. He was released on Jan. 5. If convicted of the attempted charge, Webster faces life in prison. The case now moves to superior court where prosecutors will seek to indict Webster. He is currently being held on $1 million cash bail. —Courtesy of WMUR

BY GARRY RAYNO THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — After three hours of testimony Wednesday, the Senate Commerce Committee voted 3-1 to approve the same right-to-work bill it passed last year. The Senate version of the bill removes a section of the Houseapproved bill that would allow unions not to represent employees who do not join the union nor pay fees for negotiating and administering contracts.

The bill was approved by the House and Senate last year but was vetoed by Gov. John Lynch, and the House failed to override his veto. The lone senator on the committee to vote against the Senate amendment to House Bill 1677, Sen. Matthew Houde, R-Meriden, urged his colleagues to kill the bill. “Been there, done that,” Houde said. “Let’s not go through this process again.” The full Senate is expected to take up the committee’s recommendation at next Wednesday’s session.

N.H. Senate considers amendment to prohibit new taxes on income CONCORD — New Hampshire has no personal income tax, and a proposed constitutional amendment seeks to keep it that way. The Senate Internal Affairs Committee is holding a hearing Wednesday on the House-passed amendment to prohibit new taxes on income. Supporters argue enshrining the prohibition against the tax in the constitution would leave any existing taxes untouched.

But opponents said it could have unintended consequences, such as forcing the state to turn to higher business taxes to pay for government spending. New Hampshire is one of nine states that does not tax personal income, though it taxes interest and dividends. New Hampshire and Alaska are the only states without taxes on either personal income or sales. —Courtesy of WMUR

Improving and expanding health care To the editor: In the excellent book by T.R Reid, “The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care,” the author highlights health care programs around the world. Many countries provide universal coverage that is as good or better than what we have and typically for far less cost per person. He also tells the story of a young, southern woman with a very treatable disease. If she lived in the second and third richest countries in the world (and many others for that matter) she would have had simple, regular treatment and would lived a long life. Being born in the wealthiest country, the US, she died in her mid-20s, due to the lack of basic affordable health care. As her health went progressively downhill, her hospital finally accepted her in crisis and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to save her life, efforts that came far too late. Wendell Potter, a former senior insurance executive who has spoken about insurance abuses, recently encouraged politicians and those on the Supreme Court wanting to kill the Affordable Care Act to come to Tennessee to witness thousands of folks with little or no health care attending a Remote Area Medical (RAM) free clinic. Normally this non-profit group organizes volunteer doctors and nurses to donate their time in third world countries. Now they offer similar clin-

ics around the US, given the lack of affordable health care in the US, and they sometimes see 5000-8000 patients. It should come as no surprise, given the millions of Americans without basic health care. How ironic, as some have put it, that the Supreme Court, with the best health care in the land, may undercut a health care bill at it’s core was pushed by the Republicans (as they fought the idea of single payer and other options that are common around the world). It’s also crazy that GOP front-runner, Mitt Romney, was as for a mandate (where he instituted it) before he decided to be against it. Are we noticing a pattern of some being against essentially anything that the Obama administration proposes or does? The Affordable Care Act, like many pieces of legislation, is imperfect, but it was a significant improvement to a broken, hugely expensive system that left millions of Americans without coverage, denied coverage or filing for bankruptcies (some 60 percent of bankruptcies are tied to unaffordable medical costs). Parts of the Act are in effect now. Others will come online soon. Moving towards affordable coverage for all, with everyone contributing and efforts to reduce costs, was the responsible thing to do. It also was the humane thing to do, in the richest country in the world. Reuben Rajala Gorham

Once upon a Berlin Time Early Milan

Phila May

Hello fellow Berlinites. For many years while doing my research on Berlin history, I would occasionally come across the name of Phila May in the headlines of the papers during the late 1800’s. I now believe that I have found enough material about this local superstar to share with my readers. The newspaper headlines called her “Our Prima Donna” and this lady, whose married name was Phila May Griffin Miller, was a product of the Milan-Dummer area. Records show that she was born in Dummer near the Milan line and at some point, also resided in Milan. In later years, she was also referred to as the “Songbird of Milan”. This celebrity of 125 years ago told her story in two different papers ten years apart. The Berlin Independent of August 1889 spoke of her and then the Berlin Reporter of August 1899 gave an autobiography. In between these years there were occasional clips about her. I tried to combine these and other headlines to inform my readers of this famous lady. Phila May said that her first lessons in music were given to her by Mr. Jesse Tuttle of Berlin, a Civil War veteran who was a postmaster during this time. She started taking these lessons with him when she was around twelve years old. Mr. Tuttle had a singing school back in these days and worked with many different people. She said that he would even pick her up and then bring her home, which was quite a task considering the mode of transportation was horse and buggy. For what she called three terms, Phila May studied this way and to this teacher she confided the wish that she wanted to become a professional singer. She really wanted to know if this could become possible for a small town girl and she reiterated that Tuttle’s encouragement and careful training in those early days attributed in great measure to her later success. Phila May’s first public appearance was at a concert given in the church in Milan when she was just six years old and people knew then that she had a beautiful voice. At the

Phila May

age of sixteen, Miss Griffin went to Boston to continue her studies under the tutelage of Mr. John O’Neal. She remained in this city nearly four years where she was given more encouragement to continue with her singing career. Those four extra years were spent training with a Madame Long, who eventually pronounced Phila May fit for her chosen profession. Even at this point, she still was not satisfied, so she continued her training with another lady named Madame Hall, who had just returned from Europe. Young Phila said this is what gave her the finishing touches to commence her calling. Since that time, this lady was fortunate enough to have great engagements and fulfill them successfully. She fought her way upward into the ranks of her profession by her raw talent alone and was privileged while traveling, as she never had to cancel an engagement see PHILA MAY page 5

since her debut. During the mid 1880’s in Minneapolis, Minnesota, she was placed upon a program with the famous Madame Nevada as a soloist. In the late 1880s, Phila May was also engaged as leading support to Madame Camilla Urso, the world famous violinist at this time. These two madams were listed on the Internet as very famous women of their time. With Urso, Phila May traveled all through the United States and the Canadian provinces with her most favorite area being listed as Southern California. When she was asked the question about the pleasure of fulfilling her wish to become the public singer that she had wanted to be, Phila May said that singing and traveling were the two greatest thrills of her young life. Coming from the small town that she did and traveling all over the country certainly had to be exciting back then. At this time in her life (August 1889), Phila May had fourteen more engagements before she headed for a season out West. This North Country gal was certainly becoming famous by the end of the 1880s. When the next decade began and after hearing her superb voice, the press all over the country where she performed was talking about the brilliant future that Phila May had ahead of her. They said that her music was but one of her many attractions. She also possessed a beautiful face and figure, along with a cordial and refined manner. Mrs. Miller was equally as pleasing off as on the stage. Before going back out West, Phila May gave a concert at Berlin’s Music Hall, which was situated on Mechanic Street and performed to a packed house of her friends and neighbors. With this, she left the area to add to her fame and fortune. This young American star, whose triumph as leading support to Madame Urso had already performed in such places as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Denver, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and all the leading cities of this country and Canada. With these performances she had won the admiration of all as one of the upcoming representative American Prima Donnas. On August 6, 1895, Phila May Griffin Miller once again came back to her roots and visited her hometowns of Milan and Dummer. To the thrill of many locals, she also gave another farewell concert. This time it was held at the great Clement Opera House on Main and Mason Streets. There were over 1,400 people in attendance for this performance and at the close of the show “Phila” received upon the stage, a large number of her old friends and neighbors. The town of Berlin was always glad to welcome a favorite son or daughter and in this case, Phila May was very special. Phila’s voice was at its best during this concert. Her selections were superb and her husband and manager Louis Miller was steadily keeping pace with his wife in their “onward and upward” rise to fame. This show in 1895 was said to be Phila May’s farewell to her old friends in concert work, as she was expected to commence upon a new venture of operatic endeavors.

Once Phila May left Berlin in 1895, she formed her own opera company in which she starred for several years. She had gone abroad and sang successfully in Germany, appearing in Hamburg, Dresden, Berlin and Leipzig. She then was asked to create the part of a London “cabby” in the comic opera “Gentleman Joe” at the Fifth Avenue Theater in New York City. Although this show was not a huge success, it was a stepping stone that brought her in contact with another show called “The Sunshine of Paradise Alley”. This show was an enormous achievement for Mrs. Miller who went on to play a leading role. With her husband Louis, Phila traveled throughout the country performing this show. In August of 1899, Phila May returned to her roots again and an autobiography was published in the local papers. By now, she was also known as the “Milan Songbird”, whom all of the musical world knew as New Hampshire’s Prima Donna. This autobiography was going to be published in a book called “Famous Women of Our Time”, by a leading Chicago firm. In this story of her memoirs, it said that she was born in a little town of Milan, Coos County, New Hampshire, and spent a happy childhood in this area. The Milan and Dummer history books, as previously mentioned, had her as being born just across the Milan line in Dummer. On September 21, 1899 Phila May Griffin Miller again performed locally at the huge Clement Opera House. This performance, with Phila May as “Sunshine” was another big hit to an overflow crowd. I do not know if she ever came back here to perform again after 1899. While going through the Dummer history book, Phila was listed as the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Grffin, who lived on the old Henry Holt homestead around 1870. The Dummer book also had a short list of her accomplishments. The Milan history book had a picture of Phila and Louis Miller, which led me to believe that she had lived in this town for some period, but I am not quite sure where her husband Louis was from. I could not find this woman’s name in Google’s archives, but from what I have read, this singer and actress of the late 1800s was a star in her time and the North Country towns of Milan, Dummer, Berlin and Gorham were very proud of her. Imagine going to one of her great performances in those days. Some historian in either Milan or Dummer might even know more. Questions or comments email poof@ ne.rr.com.

Mark Kelley running in the Boston Marathon raising money for people with spinal cord injuries BERLIN--On April 16 Mark Kelley is going to reach deep within himself to help make a difference in the lives of people living with spinal cord injury. After training for the last six months, Kelley is going to be running 26.2 miles in this year’s 116th running of the Boston Marathon! You can help by sponsoring Mark in his run from Hopkinton, Mass., to Boston’s Back Bay. “I’ve known two friends whose lives were shattered and families devastated when an accident resulted in a spinal cord injury,” said Kelley. “One friend fell while ice climbing in our beautiful White Mountains, changing his life, forever. My other friend was simply working around the house, cleaning the gutters, when a fall from the ladder crippled him, and eventually took his life. With the help of the Spinal Cord Injury Association, he was able use those two years a bit more productively and enjoy his family just a bit longer.” The Greater Boston Chapter of the National Spinal Cord Injury Association (GBC) is dedicated to Reach,

“There is no plan right now to retrieve him until the snow melts,” Rick Wilcox, president of Mountain Rescue Service, one of the agencies called to assist the forest service, said on Tuesday. The rescuer who lowered into the crevasse was able to see a hole at the bottom, Wilcox said, and “all he could see down the hole was water rushing.” Those conditions, he said, make it very dangerous for rescuers. “You might get in and you might not get out,” he said. “The risk to the rescue personnel isn’t justified.” This is not the first time the headwall crevasse has caught unsuspecting hikers or skiers. Last year, according to Wilcox, a snowboarder fell in. Two professional climbing guides who are members of Mountain Rescue Service were nearby, and they were able to extricate the snowboarder from before he succumbed to hypothermia. Freezing water from the waterfall had the

Ecumenical Clergy Assoc. to offer Easter Sunrise service BERLIN -- April 8, is Easter Sunday. The Berlin-Gorham Ecumenical Clergy Association will again offer an Ecumenical Easter Sunrise Service at Bryant’s Farm on Cates Hill Road in Berlin. The service will begin at 6:30 a.m., and will celebrate the joyful news of Jesus’ resurrection with prayers, scripture readings, hymns, and a reflection offered by the Rev. Dr. David Smith of the Gorham Congregational Church. Other participating churches and groups include: St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, Good Shepherd Parish, St. Paul Lutheran Church, Milan and West Milan Methodist Churches, and The Stratford Counseling Center. Please come and join us for this wonderful beginning of Easter Sunday! For more information, call 752-3504.

victim shivering in seconds, Wilcox said. “You don’t last long down in there.” In 2001 two hikers went in. The snow rangers, assisted by the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Mount Washington Volunteer Ski Patrol, were able to get both of them out, although both suffered injuries. An Associated Press story of that rescue described it as similar to what rescuers tried to do this weekend: an effort involving ropes and harnesses. Perhaps the most famous example of such an accident occurred in May 1994 and is described in “Not Without Peril,” the book about deaths on Mount Washington that was published in 2000. That rescue ended when a New Hampshire Fish and Game diver

wearing a drysuit got lowered into the crevasse. At the bottom he found the body of Cheryl Wiengarten, a college student, who had fallen in the day before. That incident eventually led to a lawsuit where Weingarten’s family sued to recover damages from the U.S. Forest Service. The suit alleged the forest service should have marked the crevasse as a hazard in a similar way to the way ski areas mark hazards. A judge threw out the case, pointing out that there are numerous hazards in a back-country area like Tuckerman Ravine. It would be impossible for the government to mark them all. Wilcox was on that rescue. It was similar to this weekend’s, he said, but there are some key differences. First, he said, no one was sure

Wiengarten went into the hole. It was cloudy, so while people saw her fall no one saw where she ended up. Rescuers figured out eventually after searching the ravine that she must have been in the crevasse, but there were no eyewitnesses. That’s different than with Priebatsch. “We know he’s in there,” Wilcox said. People watched him fall into the crevasse. “It’s not an if.” Hence the difference in the rescue effort, he said. In 1994 a rescuer went in the following day, he said, but this time there was no question so a rescuer went in right away. The other difference? Wiengarten was found at the bottom of the crevasse, unlike Priebatsch. “He is further down,” Wilcox said.

spoken to officials in the Office of State Planning and NH Granit to get a better sense of the proposed changes to the flood zone in Berlin. She said FEMA has not provided a list of property owners but the city will be sending out a letter to all property owners it believes could be impacted by the change. There is an appeal process that runs through early May. But Laflamme said appeals must be based on scientific and technical data that the determinations are incorrect. She said the process is very detailed and most property owners will not have time to file such an appeal. Laflamme said the Office of State Planning will hold an outreach meeting in the valley but that will not likely occur before the end of the appeal period. Several members of the planning board noted the Androscoggin River is a heavily regulated river with the flow in the river managed through a series of dams and large lakes that are used to

impound water. Because of that fact, they suggested the river is less subject to flooding. Laflamme said the new mapping is not limited to Berlin. Similar flood insurance mapping is underway for the towns of Errol, Dummer, Milan, Gorham, and Shelburne. FEMA is in the process of updating the old maps, which were last done in 1982. Since that time, newer technology has evolved such as geographic information system technology. In other business: The presence of an apparent Wi-Fi tower on Mount Forist caught the attention of the planning board. Board member Lucien Langlois said the tower on a pine tree has a disk and solar panel. Noting the summit of Mount Forest is covered by an overlay zone that requires planning board review for any development, Langlois asked why the tower did not come before the board. Laflamme said the city did not receive any permit applications for the tower. She said the code enforcement division is currently trying

to determine the owner of the property to ask about the tower. After 20 years on the planning board, Langlois stepped down Tuesday night. Laflamme and the board thanked him for his years of service and surprised him with a cake.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do you feel an inexplicable pull toward the supernatural world? Your desire to fine-tune your intuitive skills begins with strong hunches and ends with an irresistible wave of feeling. Resistance is futile. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Work presents special challenges. You may experience feelings of jealousy, and if so, they’re something to celebrate. You’re being led to excel in a certain direction. The spirit of competition will keep you sharp. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Clinging to what you want only defeats your efforts. Let go. The old adage is so true: If it’s really yours, set it free, and it will come back to you. The art of detachment will liberate you both. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t always know what you’re doing. It’s beautiful -- to those who understand beauty. Life is a creative process, after all. Your ability to improvise will come into play. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Coming up with solutions for the problems of the world seems to be your forte of late. You think no one understands the pressures you are under, but that’s where you’re wrong. Another Pisces can commiserate. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 5). Love connections strengthen this year as you create more experiences with loved ones. The next 10 weeks open your eyes and heart in new ways. Take a class in June. It will be such a fortuitous move that you’ll immediately sign on for another. Money in November adds to your holiday enjoyment. Your love signs are Pisces and Taurus. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 22, 13 and 18.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be keenly aware of fortune’s favor. You’ll have an excellent sense of what will be lucky for you. You’ll also note what is likely to be burdensome, and you’ll run in the opposite direction. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone cares enough to put on a theatrical show of emotions for you. This may pull at your heartstrings, or it may amuse you. Either way, you’ll find it flattering. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your reputation precedes you. There’s something in the way others approach you that makes you understand your position anew. This inspires you to do what it takes to keep your public image pristine. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just when you start to feel that life is a super-long road trip, someone dear will take the wheel for a while so you can relax. It’s proof that your people love you for who you are and not strictly for what you can do for them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The funny thing about sensation is that too much pleasure will quickly become pain -- ha, ha, ha. Moderation is the key to liking what you enjoy for now and the days to come. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You love your friends and family, but you don’t always want them in your business. Sometimes your door hanger is turned to “Do Not Disturb,” and that’s just how it goes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is joy and unexpected pleasure to be had by giving in to the wiles and whims of others. Tonight: Be careful not to defend yourself before you’re being attacked. That’s a sure way to show weakness.

For Rent by Abigail Van Buren

SIX YEARS OF SOBRIETY END IN SHOCK AND UNCERTAINTY

DEAR ABBY: “Robert” and I met four years ago and fell head-over-heels in love. At the time, he was two years clean and sober and attending meetings. Due to his hectic work schedule, he stopped attending the meetings. Robert is intelligent, a hard worker, handsome and my best friend. He prided himself on his sobriety, so imagine my shock when I found an empty liquor bottle buried in the trash and three more under the bed. I never thought I’d see the day when he would relapse, but he has. I am devastated. I didn’t know what to say to him or how to react, because I have never been down this road. I told Robert I knew he was drinking again. I could barely hold back my tears because I knew what a huge personal setback this is for him. He said he didn’t want to discuss it, so I didn’t push. What am I supposed to do when the man I love has relapsed? My heart aches for him. I’m trying to be supportive, but I am clueless. Please help. -- HELPLESS DEAR HELPLESS: The first thing to do is recognize that this is Robert’s problem, and only he can fix it. If you plan to stay involved with him, understand that it is not unusual for someone with a substance abuse problem to fall off the wagon from time to time. The next thing you should do, and this is important, is find your nearest chapter of Al-Anon. It’s an organization that was started by the wife of an alcoholic, and its sole purpose is to help the family and friends of alcoholics. The toll-free phone number is 888-425-2666, and it has been mentioned in this column many times. There will be meetings for you to attend so you can learn

to avoid falling into the trap of trying to “save” or enable Robert, because in order for him to get better he must experience the consequences of going back to drinking. This is not easy to do with someone you care about, and you will need all of the support you can get. By the way, your letter arrived in the same batch as the one below. It may give you some insight: DEAR ABBY: A few years ago I talked to my mother about her drinking. She’s a binge drinker and her excuse is always, “It’s my day off.” I am focusing on myself and trying to figure out my life, as well, with the help of Al-Anon -- the only thing that has kept me positive. I knew that once I uttered the word “alcoholic” aloud, my relationship with my mother would forever be affected. I asked her to contact me when she was ready to quit because I can no longer enable her drinking. I miss the mom who doesn’t drink, but I can’t be around her when she does. As I grow in my recovery, I may figure out how to do that. But for now, I need to put space between us. My family is worried something drastic will happen (as her health isn’t good) and I will have regrets. But I have expressed my thoughts and accepted that Mom and I may never speak again. Is that wrong? -- STILL A LOVING DAUGHTER IN WISCONSIN DEAR STILL A LOVING DAUGHTER: No, it’s not wrong. Your mother’s binge drinking was affecting her health as well as her relationship with you, and while it may have been difficult and wrenching, it was the right thing to do -- for both of you. Let’s hope that your strength in doing that will give her the strength to stop her alcohol binges.

‘Honoring the Past—Building the Future’ theme of Gorham church’s anniversary celebration GORHAM -- The members of the Gorham Congregational Church is in the midst of its 150th Anniversary Celebration. Their theme is “Honoring the Past—Building the Future.” On the last Sunday of each month they are taking a few minutes in worship to focus on a part of the church’s history. This month their focus will be their circular stained glass window. When you step into the sanctuary of the Gorham Congregational Church, the first image that draws your attention is a circular stained glass window. The window is centered on the front wall above the communion table. The perimeter of the 7 foot, 8 inch window is a beautiful abstract design. The center is a portrayal of Jesus as a 12 year old. Looking into his face, one sees qualities of Jesus as a man—integrity, compassion, grace and wisdom. The image of Jesus appears to come from Heinrich Hofmann’s painting, “Christ in the Temple.” In that painting, which hangs in the Riverside Church in New York City, the young Jesus is teaching in the Temple in Jerusalem. The reactions of the people listening range from anger to awe. Heinrich Hofmann (1824-1911) was a popular

German painter known for his depictions of Jesus Christ. How his image of Jesus became the center of the Gorham church’s stained glass window is a mystery. Who made this window and the other six tall stained glass sanctuary windows is also a mystery although some of the scroll work is similar to the high windows at the St. Kieran Community Center for the Arts building. The window was installed in 1904 when the sanctuary was remodeled. It was given in honor of Elihu Libby (1826- 1911) by his four sons. Elihu served as deacon of the church from 1862 until his death in 1911. Installed 108 years ago, the rose window continues to bless member’s worship. Call Pastor David Smith at 466- 2136 and he will show it to you.

WMCC’s Norman Carreau named Newman Civic Fellow by Campus Compact BOSTON, MASS. - Campus Compact’s member college and university presidents from across the country have nominated 162 college student leaders for the 2012 class of Newman Civic Fellows. These students are demonstrating a personal commitment to creating lasting change for the better in their communities. Through service, community-based research, and advocacy, the 2012 class of Newman Civic Fellows are making the most of their college experiences to better understand themselves and the root causes of some of the most pressing social issues that challenge us all. Norman Carreau 2012 at White Mountains Community College in Berlin, NH, demonstrates the type of civic engagement that sets an example for others, shining a positive light in a time when negativity has dominated much national conversation. Carreau, a senior dual major in accounting and business administration, discovered a lack of assistance for students pursuing employment after graduation. Working with local businesses, college administration, and local volunteers, he set up a Job Networking Opportunity Fair and hopes to start a Career Center at WMCC. As a Newman Civic Fellow, Carreau will join a network of Fellows around the country. Together — sharing ideas and tools through online networking — the Fellows will leverage an even greater capacity for service and change, and will continue to set examples for their classmates and others.

“These students represent the next generation of public problem solvers and civic leaders. They serve as national examples of the role that higher education can—and does—play in building a better world,” notes Campus Compact Board Chair James B. Dworkin, chancellor at Purdue University North Central. Through service-learning courses and other opportunities for community engagement, colleges are developing students’ public problem-solving skills, such as the ability to analyze community needs, the willingness to participate in public processes and debate, the commitment to raise awareness about challenges, and the ability to inspire others to become part of solutions. “Dr. Frank Newman, a founder of Campus Compact, had a tremendous impact on American education and its role in the development of citizens who are eager and prepared to make a difference,” explains Campus Compact President Maureen Curley. “He dedicated his life to creating systemic change through education reform and this new group of Newman Civic Fellows would have inspired him. They are reflections and affirmations of his life’s work.” Campus Compact is a national coalition of almost 1,200 college and university presidents—representing some 6 million+ students—who are committed to fulfilling the civic purposes of higher education, that is, to improve community life and to educate
