Council will present mayor’s FRC named N.H.’s top budget at public hearing BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – The city council agreed Thursday night to present a fiscal 2012 budget to the public at the May 25 public hearing that does not meet its goal of no tax increase despite cutting four and a half positions. At a special budget session, council informally agreed to present the budget prepared by Mayor Paul Grenier. Grenier’s budget cuts $349,783 from the city manager’s proposed

budget and increases revenue estimates by $129,508. But the mayor acknowledged it would still result in an 88-cent tax increase. “It’s not lean enough,” Grenier said, stressing he remains committed to passing a final budget that does not raise the property tax rate of $31.70. Before making more cuts, Grenier said he would like to see what will be available in revenue and expenditure surpluses in the cursee COUNCIL page 6

Bass, Ayotte urge funding for prison BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – New Hampshire’s Congressional delegation has not given up on getting the federal prison activated this summer. U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte and U.S. Congressman Charlie Bass have now joined U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen in writing to fed-

eral officials, urging them to find money to open the prison now. Ayotte is also asking the Department of Justice to waive the maximum 37-year age limit for law enforcement jobs at the Berlin facility to allow former mill workers to compete for them. see FUNDING page 18

Calif. college adds major in secularism

(NY Times) — Colleges and universities have long offered majors in religion or theology. But with more and more people now saying they have no religion, one college has decided to be the first to offer a major in secularism. Starting this fall, Pitzer College, a small liberal arts institution in Southern California, will inaugurate a department of secular studies. Professors from other departments, including history, philosophy, religion, science and sociology, will teach courses like “God, Darwin and Design in America,” “Anxiety in the Age of Reason” and “Bible as Literature.” The department was proposed by Phil Zuckerman, a sociologist of religion, who describes himself as “culturally Jewish, but agnosticatheist on questions of deep mystery.” Over the years he grew increasingly intrigued by the growth of secularism in the United States and around the world. He studied and taught in Denmark, one of the world’s most secular countries, and has written several books about atheism. “It’s not about arguing ‘Is there a God or not?’ ” Mr. Zuckerman said. “There are hundreds of millions of people who are nonreligious. I want to know who they are, what they believe, why they are nonreligious... It has not been studied.

Evacuations in Memphis as river nears crest

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

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (NY Times) — For the second time in five months, the Pakistani authorities have angered the Central Intelligence Agency by tipping the Pakistani news media to the identity of the CIA station chief in Islamabad, a deliberate effort to complicate the work of the spy agency in the aftermath of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, American officials said.

The leak demonstrated the tilt toward a near adversarial relationship between the CIA and the Pakistani spy agency, the Inter Services Intelligence Directorate, or ISI, since the Bin Laden raid. It appeared to be intended to show the leverage the Pakistanis retain over American interests in the country, both sides said. In an address before Parliament on Monday, Prime Minister

Yousaf Gilani made clear that Pakistani officials accepted little responsibility for the fact that bin Laden was able to hide in their country for years. Instead, he criticized the United States as having driven bin Laden into Pakistan, condemned its violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and called the Qaeda leader’s presence in Pakistan an intelligence failure of the “whole world.”

U.N. warning after Libya shipwreck

PARIS (NY Times) — The United Nations refugee agency has urged the crews of vessels in the Mediterranean to keep watch for unseaworthy vessels carrying migrants from war-torn Libya after a report that a ship with 600 people on board broke up just off the port of Tripoli three days ago. Sybella Wilkes, a spokeswoman for the Genevabased organization, said there had been a “dramatic increase in the number of boats making this terrible journey” as migrants, many of them from sub-Saharan Africa, tried to flee Libya’s turmoil, heading for sanctuary on the Italian island of Lampedusa.

“The majority of the boats are unseaworthy and in terrible condition and overloaded,” Ms. Wilkes said in a telephone interview. On Friday, she said, witnesses in Tripoli reported that a ship carrying around 600 people broke up just 100 yards out of port. “It’s not clear how many people died or drowned,” she said, but 16 bodies — including those of two babies — had been recovered. Ms. Wilkes said that the witnesses, including a high-ranking Somali diplomat in Tripoli, said many of those on the stricken vessel were Somalis. She said the United Nations refugee agency’s own staff members had not witnessed the event.

MEMPHIS (NY Times) — The Mississippi River is expected to crest near Memphis on Monday evening, and emergency officials spent several hours in the morning going door-to-door to warn residents in low-lying areas to evacuate. The Mississippi, which has already caused some flooding in Memphis during the last several days, will top out at 48 feet on Monday at about 7 p.m., said Tracy Howieson, a National Weather Service hydrologist. It is expected to stay at that level for at least 48 hours before slowly receding. “It will be a prolonged crest at Memphis and in parts downstream,” Ms. Howieson said. The river had not been expected to crest until later this week, but it has taken on a surge of water in recent days from some of its tributaries, officials said. During the most recent measure of the river’s level — at 4 p.m. — the Mississippi was at 47 feet 8 inches.

Stacey Burns murder case still unsolved two years later BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

WOLFEBORO — Two years after her murder, authorities are still looking for who killed Stacey Burns on Mother's Day of 2009. Burns, 41, of Wolfeboro, was a school nurse and mother of five. She was found stabbed to death in her bed on May 10. Her body was discovered by her 15-yearold son, according to ABC's 20/20, which ran a story about the case in January. Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeff Strelzin said there have been no arrests in the Burns case, but progress is being made. "It's still an ongoing an active investigation," said Strelzin. Strelzin said authorities don't believe the Burns case is related to the suspicious death of Krista Dittmeyer, the 20-year-old Portland, Maine mother who disappeared around April 23. Dittmeyer's body was found days later in a nearby snow-making pond at the base of Mount Cranmore. Wolfeboro and Conway are at opposite ends of Carroll County. Carroll County Sheriff Christopher Conley said the Burns murder rocks Wolfeboro to this day. Conley, who is a Wolfeboro resident, said Burns was a beloved member of his community. "People talk about six degrees of separation, but in Carroll County there is no separation because people are so in tune," said Conley. The 20/20 episode describes Stacey Burns as cheerful person. However, the show also described her ex-husband, Ed, as controlling, and a boyfriend, Jim Vittum, as "obsessive." Both men strenuously denied any connection to the murder. A former FBI investigator told a 20/20 reporter that the excessive stab wounds shows that the killer was full of anger and that the killing was personal. Conley said if he had one message, it's that people with any information about this case need to come forward. Conley stressed that people shouldn't assume the police know everything already.

"We're asking people to reach to their courage and fortitude," said Conley. A memorial to Stacey Burns will be held on Sunday, May 15, at 5:30 p.m. at St. Patrick's Church in Natick, Mass. Stacey Burns is buried there next to her father, Francis. "Mother’s Day 2011 marks the second anniversary date of my sister’s murder," writes Michael Keane on staceyburnsmemorial.org. "An 'as yet unsolved' murder that haunts our family every single day. I miss my sister very, very much, as do all of our family and friends." On the web site, Keane expresses confidence in State Police investigator Steve Rowland and his team. He also wrote that family members agreed to do the 20/20 episode because they felt it would help keep the investigation going, put pressure on the killer, assist with fundraising for the children's education, and keep Stacey Burn's memory alive. "We feel blessed to have been assigned a seasoned investigator who has kept this case moving when some others seem to have lost the stomach for a tough case," writes Keane. " I believe that the hard work he and others have put in will eventually lead to an arrest and conviction in my sister’s murder. We pray every day for that day to come very, very soon. " The Burns murder has not been labeled a "cold case" said Strelzin. There are specific criteria saying a case has gone cold. That generally happens when a case has become inactive for a prolonged time period, he said. There are three cold cases in Carroll County, according to a map on the New Hampshire Attorney General's website. In the entire state, there are about 120 open cold cases. Those include deaths and disappearances. The most recent cold case in New Hampshire dates back to 2007. As for Carroll County's cold cases, Ellen and Maurice Wilkinson were found shot to death in their Center Ossipee home in 1974 and another victim, Paul Olsen, was found wrapped in blankets and laying in a stream on Route 113 in Madison in 1973.

N.H. nursing home: Off the grid BY PAULA TRACY THE UNION LEADER

BENTON — The Glencliff Home, a health care facility on the side of Mount Moosilauke, is the only state facility operating entirely off the grid. And it will stay that way, thanks to almost $4 million in federal dollars to upgrade a hydrowheel and install a new wood-chip burning biomass plant. The project continues a tradition of self-sufficiency that dates back to 1906. “We are really excited about this project,” said Todd Bickford, administrator of the home. Dr. Ezra Mitchell founded Glencliff as a tuberculosis sanitarium. Today, the campus provides long-term nursing-home care to 114 New Hampshire

residents with mental illness and/ developmental disabilities. A hydrowheel inside a brick structure about a mile below the campus in Warren has provided 30 percent of the electricity needs of the campus, while diesel power has been trucked in and used for the rest. Beverly Kowalik, project manager and a mechanical engineer, finds this Grafton County project intriguing. “There will be a huge savings in the amount of diesel fuel needed and the number 6 fuel for heat and hot water,” she said. Bickford said the improvements will mean only about 10 percent of the Glencliff’s energy needs will come from diesel. Two steam engines are to be built, along with two new back-up generators in the biomass plant.

I’d like an explaination of the disparity To the editor: Every person and every agency/department has been talking about the poor economy, budgets, and how and where cuts will be made, and their effects. There is tension and in many cases financial hardship that these difficult times create. However, what some don’t know is that there are some individuals getting raises. Yes, raises! While your teachers agreed to save jobs and help the city’s budget by foregoing any raises, step increases, and decreases in some benefits, the office staff and to date, some administrators, are getting raises. How can this be? I am in no way implying that they have not earned a raise nor that they are not deserving of it, but where is the equality in this circum-

stance? I thought that all departments/agencies were expected to cut or at the least maintain their current budgets; not increase them through raises. It is my belief that every teacher and their families who have agreed to sacrifice, deserves an explanation of why office staff and administrators are receiving a raise when they were all expected to pitch in and help save jobs and maintain a budget. If there is an explanation for this, and I have no doubt there must be, I’d like to hear it and I am sure many others would too. Someone should be accountable to provide an explanation and answer how and why raises would be approved and even supportive of it in this most difficult economy. Laurie Carrier Berlin

Rec. Dept.’s Eggstravaganza a success To the editor Berlin Recreation and Parks Department’s 30th annual Easter Eggstravaganza” saw over 200 children ages two to ten “hunting” for prizes at the Berlin Recreation gym on Saturday, April 16. We had an extraordinary amount of treats thanks to many generous donors and we would like the public to know what exceptional citizens and businesses we have in the community. We received balloons from Gill’s Flower Shop, cash donations from Verizon

Wireless, Coulombe Real Estate and Lena Boucher, as well as many anonymous people donating during the morning event. In addition to a monetary contribution, Verizon Wireless provided an extra boost to the event by having a basket of goodies to raffle in each of the four age divisions. With the city asking each department for budget cuts, the Easter Eggstravaganza is one of those costly events that we may have to consider eliminating. The only excep see EGGSTRAVAGANZA page 5

Radio Daze

The editorial offices of The Conway Daily Sun, and printing plant of this newspaper, are on Seavey Street in North Conway, and there’s a sort of commissary in the secondfloor workroom that stands ready with sustaining rations such as unsalted peanuts, Triscuits, and, for the first time in the 21 years that I’ve been with the paper, this week there was a drink that was new to the newspaper, but not to me. This was Ovaltine, and whoever did the shopping couldn’t have known that the addition to my long-standing routine would send me into a time warp that reached back to my earliest days and visits to 712 Chestnut Street in Waban, Massachusetts. This was the house where my mother and her four sisters grew up and it was also my favorite place to visit because the house still had gas lights over the dining room table and Ovaltine in the pantry. Ovaltine can be mixed with either water or milk, and the Internet’s ever-ready Google site knew that it first appeared in Bern, Switzerland, in 1904, and there was a code in its name. The corporate thinkers had started with “ovum” for egg and “malt” for the two main ingredients, but, most uncharacteristically for the famously careful Swiss, someone misspelled the name on the trademark registration and they decided to stay with the mistake. Closer to home in both place and time, by the 1940s I was seriously committed to three 15-minute radio programs that ran from 5:15 to 6:00 every weekday afternoon, and Ovaltine was on hand to provide enough strength and fortitude to sustain me through the unimaginable heroics brought to American living rooms by those offerings. In fact, I can still remember most of the theme song for one of them, which was a hymn to the adventures of Tom Mix and Ralston cereal that changed with the season. We spent the academic year in Deerfield, Massachusetts, and winter weather was the time when we were most likely to be indoors and even sick in bed with the winter miseries, and that was the time when we were most likely to hear, “Eat hot Ralston for your breakfast, and you surely will agree, That this warm-up, build-up breakfast, gives you cowboy energy. It’s delicious and nutritious, bite sized and ready to eat, Take a tip from Tom, go and tell your mom, hot Ralston can’t be beat.” There was a variant for warm weather that replaced “eat hot Ralston” with “shredded Ralston” to preserve the syllable count and the name, but we were never sick in bed during the summer and we didn’t have a radio in Jackson anyway, so I had no chance to gather valuable truths during those breathless minutes before supper. The golden age of my radio days also brought premiums that enthusiasts like me could win if we sent in a certain number of box tops from things our mother would have bought in the course of everyday market shopping, so I saved up and got the fabled spy ring with the built-in mirror that would let me see sideways when threatened by life-threatening forces. This actually worked, and the persuasive powers of the hucksters were so strong that it never occurred to me that there was

no point in having a ring that would let me see sideways, I could achieve very similar, perhaps even identical, results by turning my head. Further along in those exciting times, I got the decoder ring that would be an essential asset for my work in detecting the secret messages that listeners could find in one of the programs, and this would certainly be a valuable asset in these times of world-wide war, but my arithmetical deficiencies were already beginning to kick in and now I can’t remember how the codes worked. On the other hand, my persistent inability to throw anything away suggests that the decoder ring might still be hidden among my accumulated treasures, and it might not be too late for me to get help with these knotty problems. It may be that changing tastes in the public appetite have put the great years of my afternoon adventures behind me by now, but maybe they haven’t. If radio story lines still take as much time to play out as they did when I was in grammar school, I may not have missed much. For instance, I put a stop watch on an episode of All My Children and found that it took five days to play out about 15 minutes of radio heartache and despair. In fact, I wrote a long letter to the owner/creator of the show in which I detailed a theory that seemed far-fetched even to me, it was based in my studies of the long-running Medieval fable of Tristan and Isolde. Then I got a phone call from the creator saying that I was exactly right and I was the only person who had ever spotted the parallels. Thus encouraged, I suggested a change in the casting of Tara, the leading heartbreaker in Pine Valley, and very soon the change was made. The radio stations that I used to depend on to stay in touch with the essential dimensions of reality were WHAI in Massachusetts and WTIC Connecticut, and my dedication was so strong that I figured out that one of the station owners had used the first three letters in his last name to identify his station, and the other station owner used the initials of the most important business in the city where he lived. But all that misses the real point. As far as I knew, no girl ever listened to those adventure programs and there was nothing else on the air during that afternoon hour. And now, more than sixty years later and in a very different social world, I’m thinking that was because the inevitably male-dominant staffing in radio programming assumed that any well-broughtup girl would be in the kitchen helping her mother get supper ready while the boys were kept out of the way while they watched all-male adventure programs that were teaching them about the idealized future they could have in a male-dominated world. Little did I realize that those days of 15-minute devotions would eventually lead to a major change in the casting of, yes, All My Children and the long-running emotional torments of Tara as she wondered whether her heart belonged to Chuck or Phillip.

Govt. should let people solve their own problems To the editor: Thank you for the article written by Barbara Tetreault about road tolls and other issues handled by the city council. I’ve lived in Berlin for the past six months now and have often wondered what these neon barricades with kids behind them were. The majority of the kids I’ve seen have the appearance of street thugs. I thought maybe they were something to do with the local school system. Here is a tip, if you want people to stop you might want to dress like you aren’t going to mug them. I totally disagree with this system of fascism that the city council has voted into ordinance. It’s wrong on several levels. Let me explain: 1. You only allow non-profit organizations to apply for permits. So, you’re alienating profiteering by local establishments that actually employ the few local residents that aren’t dependent on government welfare programs or drugs and where the majority of your tax revenue comes from. While at the same time steal from charitable organizations in the form of a “permit.” 2. You are legalizing panhandling and profiteering from it. That by itself is immoral. I understand the city is destitute on a severe level, but this is depraved. 3. You are instilling in the minds of the youth that roadblocks are for charitable reasons and are commonplace when in reality roadblocks were invented to toll passersby and/or catch criminals. Neither of those reasons should illicit a good response from the traveler as either they are going to be fleeced by the government or are in danger. In effect you are telling the children in your town that they can panhandle, that roadblocks are actually a good thing, that they can not travel freely, and that the government has to approve charitable activity. 4. You are putting everyone at risk. There are several registered pedophiles within a mile radius of this location. There is a busy grocery store EGGSTRAVAGANZA from page 4

tion being that we have such generous businesses and citizens in the Berlin area enabling us to envision this wonderful, fun event continuing for many more years. Thank you Gill’s Flower Shop, Verizon Wire-

on one side of the thoroughfare and an intersection just past this location on the other side that slows traffic as well. Drivers have to watch for cars pulling from the curb and from the parking lot of the grocery store. With the amount of distracted drivers tooling around our roadways these days it doesn’t make sense to pepper the side of a busy road with children. Who supervises these children while they are taking part in government approved panhandling? Of the many times I’ve seen them there was only an adult around once and I can’t assume they were supervising as they might have been donating to the cities fascist agenda through a modest but fare percentage garnered from the permit required to do such a thing (can you feel the sarcasm?). What are you going to do next, ticket little girls with lemonade stands? Arrest Girl Scouts selling cookies? I didn’t write to just complain, I do offer a solution. There is a section of fenced-in concrete between the Rite Aid parking lot and the American Legion. Why not clean that area up a little more and allow free charitable work and fund collecting by profitable organizations? The city could also allow this area to welcome local entrepreneurs to set up vending booths as the summer approaches selling their own wares. And you don’t allow dogs in the park? Aren’t there leash laws and registration fees that the dog owners of this town are to abide by and pay? I see plenty of people walking their dogs on leashes all the time but they can’t hang out in the park with them? Residents are complaining about people with large exotic snakes walking around? Here’s an idea, don’t go near them. Common sense should tell you that an exotic snake wouldn’t fare too well for any length of time in this frigid climate. Meaning, they wouldn’t be in the park too long anyways. Why do you need the nanny government to solve your see SOLVE page 7

current budget that could be used to reduce taxes in the fiscal 2012 budget. Those figures will become clearer as the fiscal year comes to a close at the end of June. Grenier said presenting his budget would give the public an opportunity to weigh in on what direction it wants the council to take – no tax increase or no lay-offs. Grenier noted his and the city manager’s budgets are not without pain. Both call for cutting four and a half positions – two in the fire department, two in public works, and the code enforcement administrative assistant would be reduced to part-time. One of the public work position is currently vacant so three people would be laid off. Grenier said the police department is seeking a federal COPS grant or it too will be facing the loss of a position. Grenier said he would like to avoid laying off people but said that will depend on surplus figures and concessions from the city’s unions. He said he FRCfrom page one

“Business N.H. Magazine” annually recognizes businesses of excellence in nine categories and one person as the business leader of the year. The categories are business assistance organization; business services; construction/ engineering/ real estate; education/ non-profit; financial services/ insurance; health care; hospitality/ tourism; manufacturing/ technology; and retail/ wholesale. A committee made up of members from the N.H. Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives pares down the applicants to three semifinalists for each of the categories, according to a press release. A panel made of representatives from the 2010 Business of the Decade companies then select the winners, the release adds. Both the magazine and the N.H. Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives, according to the article announcing the awards, coordinate the awards. This is the twentieth year of the awards. The center primarily revolves around three pillars, said Michalik, during a previous interview. He added those are family support, education support for youth and employment support. The first pillar of the center is family support. Michalik said this includes a lot of things like parenting support, connecting people with other agencies that could offer added support. An interesting piece of this pillar is a program through the Department of Defense to help provide support services for the families of deployed servicemen and women. The education support piece of the F.R.C. includes its after school programs in Berlin and Gorham, said Michalik. He added the after school programs have gained national recognition. The after school program coordinate closely with the schools and provide a lot of homework help and

is looking in the range of $180,000 to $200,000 in concessions collectively from unions representing the police, firefighters, public works, and office staff to avoid lay-offs. “If they want to keep their union brothers working, they’re going to have to help us,” Grenier said. The biggest difference in the budgets presented by the city manager and mayor is the school department budget. The school board requested a budget of $16.68 million. Grenier reduced that figure to $16.275 million. Grenier said his budget gives the school department $500,000 more than its current budget but $409,814 less than requested. He pointed out the school department has gone several years without an increase in its budget and last year cut ten positions. Even with $277,660 in projected savings from concessions from the teachers’ union, Grenier said the school board will still need to make additional cuts. Several councilors questioned Grenier’s decision see COUNCILpage 7

activities for students. “It’s an outstanding program,” said Michalik. The final pillar is employment support. Michalik said the includes the F.R.C.’s work for help prepare people for employment by working to build up credit. He added this piece is gearing up to help get local workers ready for the federal prison. The employment support also includes more simple programs like helping people with income taxes through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. None of these pillars functions on its own, said Michalik. Recently, Michalik said the F.R.C. is collaborating with five other agencies to advocate for early childhood education. He added the F.R.C. is serving as a lead agency for the program that’s being supported by the Tillotson Foundation. The F.R.C. is often credited for its level of cooperation and collaboration with other social service agencies, said Michalik. He added the early childhood education program is an example of that colloaboration. “We’re on the cutting edge with that,” said Michalik. The F.R.C. has served the North Country since its founding 1997, has a $1 million budget and employees 50 full and part time people. The organization offers a number of programs including parenting and family support, after school programs in both Gorham and Berlin and employee support programs.

Gorham $8,000 to fund the position held by Max Makaitis at Tri-County Community Action Program. Grenier said he did not think the city at this time could afford a full-time economic development director. He said Makaitis has gotten good reviews from Main Street businesses and from tenants at the city’s industrial park. Grenier said he was able to get the county to help fund the position but said that is unlikely to happen again if the city does not participate. Councilor Diana Nelson said she needs to be able to justify the appropriation at a time when the city is facing lay-offs. She said she wants to see achievement levels set for the position and quarterly reports to the council. Councilor Mark Evans asked what kind of authority the city will have over the position. City Manager Patrick MacQueen said the city would not have direct authority over the economic development director but there will be a contract in place. Councilor Tom McCue said it is hard to set benchGORHAM from page one

Upham- Bornstein. The town of Gorham invited residents and guests to a grand opening ceremony Saturday afternoon that attracted more than 100 people. The grand opening gave people a chance tour the building and see what came out of nearly six years of renovation work. Mike Waddell, clerk of the works for the project, accepted the award from the alliance. “We appreciate the recognition for bringing this building back to its full potential,” said Waddell. Town Manager Robin Frost said the award is a true credit to those who worked on the project and made it happen. “So many people have worked so hard on this project and they deserve that recognition,” said Frost. She said it’s a great honor for the town to receive the award. “It’s just amazing,” said Frost. “It’s just a beautiful building.” Even though the town wound up receiving an award for the renovation project, it also recognized many of the people who helped make the project SOLVE from page 5

I would suggest that the stodgy council members and old stodgy population start rethinking their authoritarian and dictator-like ordinances to offer an enticing atmosphere to the townsfolk and tourists who may frequent Berlin.

marks given the complicated nature of the job but said the council wants to know work is being done. As well as working to attract new businesses to the area, McCue said he wants the director to work with existing businesses. Noting the retirement of Laura Viger, Councilor Mike Rozek asked how the duties of her position as Community Services Director are being divided since the city has decided not to fill the position. MacQueen said the various duties are being divided about the welfare director, fire chief, code enforcement and building inspectors, public works director, and the recreation and parks secretary. He said there has been salary increases to reflect the added responsibilitites to the various city officials but the city is still saving money. The council was set to vote Monday night to confirm its informal decision to publish the mayor’s budget for the May 25 public hearing. The council is required by statute to approve a final budget by no later than June 20. Final passage is currently scheduled for Monday, June 13. possible during the ceremony.

Treasures Found in Nature exhibit opens Thursday, May 12 BERLIN - A new exhibition, Lloyd’s Journey Photography: Treasures Found in Nature opens on Thursday, May 12, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at St. Kieran Community Center for the Arts with a public reception. A brief meet-the-artist presentation is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. There is no admission fee and refreshments with be served. The exhibition will feature a selection of new works by Lloyd Alexander, a prolific and devoted Maine-based nature photographer. Alexander, who enjoys sharing his passion with others, considers every day spent in nature or in a personal interaction with a bird or animal in the forest to be a magical experience and an adventure worth pursuing. The new exhibition will feature over twenty four beautiful and diverse photographs of birds and animals in their natural environment, along with landscape vistas celebrating the North Country. “Photography opens my eyes to the world around me. Things I would normally pass by I now see differently as I imagine how they could look through the lens of a camera. Birds jump out of surroundings where they seem to hide. Animals appear where I would never have expected to see them before. Treasures hidden in plain site are now seen.I see this because I simply open my eyes and observe what nature gives all of us if we only pause for a moment or two in today’s fast paced world to see it. These pictures are just a taste of those treasures I have seen. I hope you enjoy viewing the images here as much as I enjoyed taking them,” said Alexander. Alexander has been photographing nature since 1995. He is originally from Portland, Me., and now resides in Steep Falls, Me., but feels that the

North Country is where he feels most at home and finds a true inner peace. “The people, the mountains, and the wildlife always leave me feeling as though I am leaving a piece of me behind as I travel the roads home,”he said. His friends often fondly call him “Dr. Dolittle”, acknowledging that his ability to gain the attention and trust of such a variety of birds and animals is nothing short of amazing. Alexander has been published in Speedway Illustrated, American Bird Association, Maine Audubon, and many newspapers throughout the region. You can also find his work at Kennedy Studios, Full Circle Artisan’s Gallery, Portland Head Light, and the Maine Audubon to name only a few of the many places. www.lloydsjourney. com Following the opening reception, the Exhibition with be on display weekdays at from 9-2, at all performances and by special arrangements until August This program is made possible through the sponsorship of North Country Dental with support of the NH State Council on the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, and see EXHIBIT page 11

Dollars for Scholars door-to-door campaign has begun GORHAM -- Members of the senior class of Gorham High School have begun their annual door-to-door neighborhood campaign for Dollars For Scholars (DFS) donations to the annual scholarship fund. The Gorham-Randolph-Shelburne DFS chapter is a charter member of the Citizens’ Scholarship Foundation (CSF). EXHIBIT from page 10

Hampshire Charitable Foundation/ North Country’s Art Ventures Fund, an Anonymous Fund, Libby Family Fund, North Country Region Community Fund and the Stanton and Elizabeth Davis Fund.

“Our affiliation with the CSF allows us to have the 501 C3 status with the IRS, so all contributions are tax deductible. All money raised through this effort is put back into the local DFS Scholarships and distributed at graduation time to graduates who have participated in the campaign by canvassing their neighborhoods in the towns of Upcoming performances in the 2011 Series include Mill City Revival Band on Friday, May 20, at 7 p.m., Tim Sample on Thursday, June 9, and Lennie Gallant, top Franco-Acadian performer on Monday, June 20.

the Cooperative School District,” said Jackie Corrigan, who annually organizes the drive. “We need to emphasize four points,” said Corrigan. “First, proceeds from the campaign are distributed only to those who canvass their neighborhoods and campaign routes. Secondly, all money raised through the drive benefits members of the current Gorham High class. Thirdly, the funds raised are distributed on a needs-based system to campaign participants who file a scholarship application. Fourthly, all campaign funds are held by this DFS chapter until those awarded a DFS scholarship present a freshman second-term college registration/tuition bill,” says Corrigan.

“We also have taken steps to assure that GHS grads who receive a DFS scholarship are not penalized by their college financial aid departments. We make sure that colleges and universities awarding GHS grads grants and scholarships do not subtract the amount of the DFS award from the college’s scholarship awards. After all, the DFS scholarships are actually no-interest loans from DFS and the citizens of the G-R-S Cooperative School District,” Corrigan notes. This year’s campaign, which marks the 49th consecutive year in which the G-R-S chapter of DFS has conducted fund-raising campaign activities, will conclude on May 18.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis as you can muster. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). How can you take a relationship to more splendid levels? You will accomplish this aim, mostly because you have the creativity, curiosity and moxie that it takes to ask this question. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll connect with a part of your past. Maybe you’ve let go of certain grudges and moved past some old opinions. But there’s still a kind of electrical charge when you touch on this part of your history. It may surprise you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You like to think that when you love someone, you give everything. But when you think about how this plays out in practical terms, it may not add up completely. You’ll temper romantic notions with reasonable ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Brief conversations are favored. If you’ve stopped talking but your audience is still listening, that’s a good sign. You can always carry on with this later. For today, it’s best to quit while you’re ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re on a sort of mission. You’ll have to be your own cheerleader. A distant image of the future you seems to be coming nearer every day as you grow into the person you want to be. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 10). Persuasion and negotiation are strong suits for you this year. Whether for personal gain or on behalf of your business or family, you win people over and make deals in June with great finesse. A lump sum comes in the mail or by wire this month. Adventure takes wing in August. Wedding bells ring in February. Cancer and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 46, 48, 42 and 22.

Cul de Sac

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Implement timesaving strategies, and rid yourself of activities that take you away from your goals. A Virgo or Libra can help you set up your personal business in a way that will serve you for years to come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You love it when something new comes into your world, but you also know it is best to be careful with things you know nothing about. Your inexperience makes you vulnerable. Step back and observe. Err on the side of caution. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A battle goes on inside of you. It seems that you are the only witness to this struggle, but this is not the case. Someone is so in tune with you that he or she can look into your eyes and know what you’re going through. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will be involved in a project that captures your full attention and transports your mind, body and spirit to a level of awareness from which there is no going back. This is a life-changing experience. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your attention goes to your appearance and updating your look. Your desire to be perceived in a certain way may lead you to retail outlets. You will not be outdone by the fashionable crowd. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Why you choose one direction instead of another is a mystery. You defy the laws of marketing and laugh in the face of persuasion. You definitely have your own mind. Many will try to predict your next move; none will succeed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Play it cool. Don’t tell all you know or show all you have. Offer a glimpse and hold back the rest. Let others know you’ve held something back in as nonchalant a way

WOMAN WHO FEELS LONELY NEEDS TO GET UP AND GO

DEAR ABBY: “Little Bit Lonely” (March 26) misses traveling since her husband’s death. She wrote that she isn’t “good at mingling with new people” and wondered if it would be appropriate to ask her son to include her on weekend trips with his family. I want to urge “Lonely” to go to her local community college and take classes for seniors. Take any class she might have dreamed of as a young woman. Make friends. Expand her horizons! I had breast cancer 18 months ago. The day after my surgery, I took stock of my life and decided if I was to follow my childhood dream, what better time than now? I am doing that, and have begun studying voice and theater arts. Do I aspire to be another Helen Reddy or Helen Mirren? No, but I intend to have fun while I take the journey of the rest of my life. Let me say to her, “Don’t be a ‘little bit lonely.’ Be a little bit too busy!” -- NOT AT ALL LONELY, SANTA ROSA, CALIF. DEAR NOT LONELY: Thank you for an inspiring letter. Other readers shared creative ideas for “Lonely” that might help her set her sails in new directions. Read on: DEAR ABBY: “Lonely” should organize a trip (even just a weekend jaunt) and invite her son and family along. That would give the son the opportunity to reciprocate her invitation, which could lead to a new family tradition. -- GAYLE IN KANSAS CITY DEAR ABBY: My dad passed away eight years ago, and Mom has been on her own ever since. She has become a savvy traveler and has made numerous friends along the way. “Lonely” should look into churches, travel agencies and cruise companies for trips for senior singles. “Lonely” does

not need to be alone. My mom goes places with family and is close friends with my mother-in-law, too. One or two trips, and “Lonely” should be able to find a few good friends. -PROUD OF MY BROOKLYN MOM DEAR ABBY: I, too, am a widow. I go on my own to football and soccer games as well as other activities that involve my grandchildren. It’s my firm belief that it isn’t up to my children to entertain me. They have their own busy lives and need their family time. I have developed my own social life. I met one of my best friends in a choral group, and another when she sat next to me at church. The three of us go to movies, concerts, plays, etc., and they have introduced me to many new activities. Senior centers sponsor computer classes, bingo and day excursions, and community colleges offer classes in photography, writing, yoga for a nominal fee. Be willing to work through some discomfort and take some risks. -- NOT A BIT LONELY DEAR ABBY: Here’s what I’d tell “Lonely”: Take a course in self-development. Programs are available for developing skills and learning to live life from the perspective of “possibilities.” Do something for someone in a nursing home or visit Alzheimer’s patients. Read to them or just hold a hand. When you get a smile from these patients, you’ll know your presence really makes a difference. Join the Red Hat Society. Most of the members are alone and have a great time together. Volunteer at church, teach Sunday school, work with the homeless in a shelter. Do something for someone who has less. Our world needs people with warm hearts and the time to contribute. You will be amazed at how great you’ll feel. -LORRAINE IN ENCINITAS, CALIF.

St. Vincent de Paul Rehabilitation and Nursing Center names LNA of the Year BERLIN -- Wendi Marshall, LNA, was the employee and resident choice for outstanding LNA of the Year at St. Vincent de Paul. Residents and employees use “awesome” and “outstanding” when describing Marshall for nomination. According to Debra Foss, nurse manager, Marshall focuses on the importance of each resident as an individual. She is a consistent advocate for the residents. She is well respected by the residents, families and her co-workers. She knows her residents and her residents know her. She promotes a positive atmosphere with her easy going nature. One of her co-workers said, “I cannot think of a word good enough to describe Wendi. Superior in her role is just not enough. Her work, her smile, and attitude are just fantastic! She goes above and beyond for her residents and the people she works with. She is willing to help everyone, is polite, caring, and loving to her residents. Wendi gives 110 percent every single day.” Another co-worker calls her “Wendi the Wonderful”, stating that Marshall is an awesome LNA. Whenever a call light is activated, she is quick to answer it. Whenever a resident wants or needs something, she does it without hesitation. She doesn’t wait to be asked to do things. She puts her residents’ needs first, is reliable, and dependable. Another co-worker stated that the residents are number one in Marshall’s book which makes her a number one LNA! Residents just love her. One resident noted that Wendi took the extra time to make him feel comfortable on his first night as

a resident at St. Vincent’s, when all he could think about was going home. He said that she made him feel very welcome and safe. One resident had the opportunity to move to another nursing home but wanted to stay at St. Vincent’s because he values the care that he’s been given by the nursing staff and particularly states that he would miss Marshall. She even offered to go and visit him at the other nursing home, two hours away. The resident cried because he was so touched by her offer.

FUNDING from page one

Bass and Ayotte pointed out construction of the prison is completed but it remains vacant because Congress has not appropriated funding to activate the facility. “Through no fault of the Bureau of Prisons, the last Congress failed to pass a budget and failed to pass a single appropriations bill, choosing instead to run departments and agencies on a series of short-term continuing resolutions that failed to take into account the Bureau’s new priorities for the fiscal year,” wrote Ayotte “It is unfortunate this brand-new federal prison in Berlin is sitting vacant right now because Congress couldn’t do its job and pass a budget or any of the spending bills last year,” Bass agreed. Both sent letters to Assistant Director of the Bureau of Prisons William Dalius urging the bureau to redirect funds in its current fiscal year to activate the new

prison. Ayotte also sent letters to Acting BOP Director Thomas Kane and Attorney General Eric Holder. Ayotte and Bass said they will be working to ensure funding for the prison is in next year’s budget. But, they asked Dalius to look for funding that might become available in the current fiscal year to get the prison open now. The two stressed the economic importance of the federal prison to the North Country. “FCI Berlin is estimated to create 320-340 urgently needed jobs and inject $40 million annually into the economically distressed North Country of New Hampshire. Once operational, FCI Berlin will be the only federal correctional facility throughout Northern New England,” Ayotte said. Construction of the facility was completed last fall and a warden has been hired and is on-site. The pair noted it is costing the bureau $4 million annually to maintain the

empty prison at a time when there is overcrowding in the nation’s prisons. Ayotte said last year the bureau’s prison population was 37 percent overcrowded. Ayotte also asked the Bureau of Prisons to review the current law that most people hired to work in the prison can not be older than 37 when initially hired with few exceptions. “In the special case of FCI Berlin, employing workers older than the current maximum age requirement is essential to the success of the prison, recovery of the local economy, and strengthening of the com-

munity,” she wrote. The prison was scheduled to start hiring correctional officers this spring but the compromise fiscal 2011 budget passed by Congress did not include funds to activate the prison. U.S. Senate Jeanne Shaheen sent a similar letter last month to Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General James Cole, asking him to prioritize funding to include opening the Berlin prison. Shaheen also appeared on NBC News to publicize the $247 million prison sitting empty because of a lack of funding.
