Tuesday afternoon fire destroys Hillside Ave. house BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN— A Tuesday afternoon fire destroyed a Hillside Avenue house and left several people homeless. Authorities are still looking into what caused a fire at 575 Hillside Ave. The single-family was occupied at the time of the fire, but a man, woman and dog escaped the fire unharmed. The American Red Cross responded to assist the displaced residents. The fire was reported shortly after 12:30 p.m. Captain Rob Jewett, of the fire department, said

the fire had a head start by the time the first crews arrived on the scene. Nonetheless, he added the first crew on the scene did a great job on the initial attack. The balloon construction of the house made it difficult to fight, said Jewett. First, he said there was an addition on the back of the house and the fire got up into the attic space. He added the fire then spread through the rest of the house’s attic. Secondly, he said a metal roof had been screwed on top of an existing roof. “It was a very stubborn fire to put out,” said

Jewett. At the time of the fire, Jewett said most of the crew was responding to a leaking propane truck near the nursing home, leaving three people in the station to make the initial response to the Hillside Avenue fire. After the fire was reported, crews needed to respond to an accident near the Twelfth Street Bridge and a sprinkler system problem on the East Milan Road. Aside from the fire department and the Red Cross, the police department and ambulance service assisted at the scene.

Council approves budget for public hearing BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – Fine-tuning some numbers from its budget session, the city council Monday night voted to present a proposed fiscal 2012 budget of $31,320,082 at its May 25 public hearing. The budget eliminates four time positions and reduces a fifth position to part-time. It would result in a tax increase of about 50 cents. Mayor Paul Grenier, who provided the budget outline, said he remains committed to finalizing a budget with no property tax increase. He said he expects there will surpluses in both the revenue and expenditure sides of the current budget that can be used to reduce taxes. He is also looking for concessions from the city’s unions. Figures provided by City Manager Patrick MacQueen and Finance Director Betty Domino reveal the council would need about $200,000 in cuts or added revenue to keep the tax rate at the current

$32.20 level. To restore the four and a half positions will require $527,800 in cuts or added revenue. Some councilors have stated they would like to see a small tax decrease. Grenier said restoring the positions and providing a 25 cents tax decrease will require $637,800 in savings and cuts. Grenier said his goal is to hold the tax rate and

restore all the positions. But he said he thought there is a chance the city could get a small tax decrease. One unknown is the payment in lieu of taxes that is being negotiated for the proposed Laidlaw/Berlin Station biomass plant and property. Grenier said the see COUNCIL page 8

Man injured in motorcycle accident BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN— A Berlin man was taken to the hospital Tuesday after his motorcycle was rear-ended by a truck near the Twelfth Street Bridge. Police say the Dennis Boucher, of Berlin, was headed north through the intersection of Main and Twelfth streets when a pick up truck, driven by Cheryl Cook,

of El Reno, Okla., rear-ended his motorcycle when he attempted to turn into Costello Leon and Company. Boucher was taken to the hospital with possible back injuries and Cook wasn’t injured. Police believe that it is possible Cook didn’t see the directional on Boucher’s motorcycle due to the height of her truck, and that the turn was so close to the light.

Emergency alert system expected for cellphones WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The emergency broadcast system is coming to cellphones. Updating the national emergency alert system, federal officials planned to announce on Tuesday in Manhattan that some cellphone users in New York and Washington will soon be able to receive alerts by text message in the event of a national or regional emergency. The service in those cities is scheduled to start late this year as a prelude to nationwide service next year, perhaps as early as April. To receive the alerts, users must have mobile phones with a special chip, which is currently included in some higher-end smartphones like the latest iPhones. The service will also require a software upgrade. How quickly consumers are able to participate in the system depends on the rate of replacement of cellphones with the special chip and the software, officials said. The emergency text messages will include alerts issued by the president, information about public safety threats and Amber Alerts for missing children. Text messages will be sent to customers of participating cellphone companies who are in an area affected by the emergency. Users can opt out of any of the alerts except the presidential messages.

Japan scraps plan for new nuclear plants ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

TOKYO (NY Times) — Prime Minister Naoto Kan said Tuesday that Japan would abandon plans to build new nuclear reactors, saying his country needed to “start from scratch” in creating a new energy policy. Mr. Kan’s announcement came as Japan allowed residents of evacuated areas around the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant to briefly revisit their homes for the first time since the

devastating earthquake and tsunami in March caused the nuclear accident. Tuesday’s decision will abandon a plan that the Kan government released last year to build 14 more nuclear reactors by 2030 and increase the share of nuclear power in Japan’s electricity supply to 50 percent. Japan currently has 54 reactors that before the earthquake produced 30 percent of its electricity. The cancellation of the planned

nuclear plants is the second time that Mr. Kan has suddenly announced big changes in Japanese nuclear policy without the usual endless committee meetings and media leaks that characterize the country’s consensus-driven decision making. Mr. Kan appears to be seeking a stronger leadership role after criticism of his government’s sometimes slow and indecisive handling of the Fukushima accident.

Mississippi River Bin Laden sons say U.S. crests in Memphis violated international law MEMPHIS (NY Times) — President Obama declared flooddamaged areas of Tennessee a federal disaster zone on Tuesday as the Mississippi River crested here, flooding low-lying neighborhoods in the city but falling short of record levels that would have caused more damage. The river topped out at 47.8 feet early Tuesday, far above flood stage, but lower than the predicted 48 feet and almost a foot lower than the record crest of 48.7 feet in 1937. It is expected to stay at or near that level for several days before receding as the crest moves downriver, said Susan Buchanan of the National Weather Service. The federal declaration allows residents and businesses in flooded areas to apply for grants and loans for temporary housing and uninsured property losses, the White House said in a statement Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The adult sons of Osama bin Laden have lashed out at President Obama over their father’s death, accusing the United States of violating its basic legal principles by killing an unarmed man, shooting his family members and disposing of his body in the sea. The statement said the family was asking why the leader of Al Qaeda “was not arrested and tried in a court of law so that truth is revealed to the people of the

world.” Citing the trials of Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic, the statement questioned “the propriety of such assassination where not only international law has been blatantly violated,” but the principles of presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial were ignored. “We maintain that arbitrary killing is not a solution to political problems,” the statement said, adding that “justice must be seen to be done.”

SWAT team had relieved city force BY MARK HAYWARD THE UNION LEADER

MANCHESTER — The New Hampshire State Police SWAT team involved in the fatal shooting of a West Side man was on duty in order to relieve their Manchester counterparts, a homicide prosecutor said Monday. The early Saturday morning shooting by a State Police trooper ended the 35-hour standoff. James D. Breton, 50, was shot and killed after he became angry at officers outside the apartment, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office has said. Manchester police SWAT had spent the previous days in the standoff, and State Police SWAT had provided relief, said Jeffery Strelzin, a senior assistant attorney general overseeing the investigation into the shooting. “You can’t be on all the time without a break,” Strelzin said. Strelzin said he won’t release the name of the trooper who fired the fatal

shot until a preliminary investigation is issued, which is expected seven to 10 days after the shooting. Stelzin said a law enforcement agency usually gives paid time off to an officer involved in a fatal shooting, but he did not know the particulars in the Breton case. Meanwhile, an expected report of any autopsy on Breton’s body did not surface Monday evening. Strelzin said it’s possible the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner did not conduct an autopsy Monday. He plans to release findings once they are available, he said. Breton barricaded himself into his 298 Main St. apartment Thursday evening, after two police arrived to make sure his 7-year-old daughter was OK. He was agitated with the officers and showed a handgun, which prompted police to call in the SWAT team. Nearby residents were evacuated and streets were closed as police tried to talk Breton out.

Dover prisoner nearly beaten to death BY CLYNTON NAMUO THE UNION LEADER

DOVER — A Strafford County jail inmate was beaten so badly Monday that officials feared he would die. An inmate attacked Stephen Mercier, 44, of Farmington, around 5:45 yesterday morning following an argument over juice during their breakfast, Sheriff Capt. Joseph DiGregorio said. “There was some discussion or some argument over juice,” he said. “Apparently the person who committed the assault felt Mr. Mercier took too much juice.” The inmate, who DiGregorio declined to name because sheriff’s deputies have yet to interview Mercier and no one has been charged, punched Mercier numerous times, fracturing his skull. Mercier has serious head injuries, including facial fractures and bleeding inside his skull, DiGregorio said. Mercier was taken first to WentworthDouglass Hospital in Dover and then flown to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, where he was listed in satisfactory condition Tuesday morning, DiGregorio said. “Honestly, it was touch and go from the

start,” he said. “It concerned the sheriff and I enough that we actually notified the attorney general’s office just in case.” The state Attorney General’s office handles murder investigations. Sheriff’s deputies are on their way up to Lebanon to interview Mercier on Tuesday morning, DiGregorio said. Sheriffs have launched a full investigation into the attack and interviewed some of the approximately 20 inmates who witnessed the event, DiGregorio said, and have a report from the one corrections officer there too. DiGregorio said the attacker will likely face felony charges of assault by a prisoner, which may carry a possible punishment of seven and a half to 15 years in prison because of the severity of the assault. Mercier has been jailed since May 2 for failing to pay child support, DiGregorio said, while his attacker is a federal inmate being held at the jail. He would not say what federal charges the man is facing. “He’s since been removed from the general population and put in maximum security,” DiGregorio said of the attacker.

N.H. heroes to the very end BY DAN TOUHY THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — Herbert Summers still pictures the shooting flames and smoke when he drives by the old apartment in Lee. He recalls the impulse that shot through him: Get the kids and get out. In the early morning of Sept. 8, 2010, he jumped out a window of the second-floor apartment, scrambled to get a nearby ladder, and then rescued his two young children. Summers, who now lives in Nottingham, was one of seven honored with a 2011 Union Leader Hero Award on Monday at the New Hampshire State House. “As real as it is, it is still surreal,” said Summers, accompanied by his daughter Kiara, 7. “I’m just honored to be here.” The Hero Awards honor residents who have risked their lives to save the lives of others. Each heroic action recognized this year involved fire. Nashua firefighters Rick Wyatt and John Araujo saved the lives of several firefighters during a major blaze on a block in their city on Feb. 7, 2010. Drawing on experience and intuition, the two instructed fellow firefighters to flee just before an auditorium ceiling collapsed and the interior imploded. Somersworth firefighters James Drakopoulos and Kenneth Vincent dashed into a burning building on March 6, 2010, to locate and rescue a woman who passed out in the lungclogging smoke. John Gadd of Manchester was honored posthumously for rushing into a burning home to try to save an elderly relative, who also died in the fire in Candia on Feb. 26, 2010. Raymond Police Officer Ryan

Lehman pulled a car crash victim from his burning vehicle on Dec. 19, 2010. “It’s a little bit overwhelming,” Lehman said after the awards ceremony. While appreciative of the honor, he said he was just happy to be doing his job. John Gadd’s widow, Deborah Gadd, and his mother, Edna Brown, said the award they accepted for Gadd’s rescue attempt was a reflection of his heart and the strength of his character. “It was the ultimate act of bravery and we continue to mourn this loss,” said Joseph W. McQuaid, president and publisher of the New Hampshire Union Leader, before presenting the posthumous award for John Gadd. Gov. John Lynch praised the New Hampshire Heroes for acting without hesitation, without regard for their own safety, and without seeking recognition for their courage and dedication to others. “The distinction is well-deserved,” said Joe Carelli, president of Citizens Bank, joining the New Hampshire Union Leader in sponsoring the awards. He called the actions extraordinary. “Each action,” he said, “was completely selfless.” The annual awards observe heroes whose split-second actions have enduring value. That was again the case Monday. Ten-year-old Kendra Luba of Chichester was in the audience. When she was just an infant, her parents died in an apartment fire in Farmington. A passerby, 2002 Union Leader Hero Award honoree Derek Vitale, rushed into the burning building and saved Kendra. “We just had to come,” said Marcia Luba, Kendra’s aunt, who adopted her.

Cement truck, pickup truck collide HOPKINTON — A cement truck and a pickup truck collided on Route 202/9 in Hopkinton on Tuesday. The crash happened at the junction of Route 127. Emergency crews said at least one person was flown from the scene, but the extent and number of injuries was not released.

Traffic was at a standstill, and drivers were advised to avoid the area. Residents said the intersection is known for accidents, saying skid marks on the road are evidence of other accidents and near-misses. —Courtesy of WMUR

School board addresses Carrier’s concerns To the editor: We would like to respond to Laurie Carrier’s letter to the editor published on May 10, in the “Berlin Daily Sun”. There were some erroneous statements made. First, rest assured, there are no salary increases for administrators in the budget. Also, the administrators will be receiving the same benefit reductions as the teachers. Second, the Berlin education support staff is a separate union and their contract

runs through June 2012. As a board, we are obligated to honor the raises and benefits that were negotiated and agreed upon as part of their current contract. As with other unions in the city, the support staff will have their opportunity to sacrifice (as the teachers did) during their next contract negotiation. We hope this addresses Mrs. Carrier’s concerns, and clarifies her misstatements. Berlin Board of Education

Let’s Hear it For Larry

On Friday evening there will be a gala party at the Mount Washington Hotel to honor TriCounty Community Action Program Executive Director Larry Kelly, who is retiring after 30 years of service. As a member of the CAP board of directors for many years, I plan to be there with a host of others too bid Larry a fond farewell for a job extremely well done. Over the years, Larry has worked tirelessly to build and extend the agencies services to reach many levels of the populous in each of the three New Hampshire counties it serves. The people in Coos, Carroll and Grafton Counties, both well off and not-so-well off, have a wealth of services and provisions available because Larry and his agency has seen the need and provided the expertise to create and maintain the effort needed to answer the need. Here in Coos, Tri County CAP has often been the one agency to see the need and answer the call when something needed to get done. It provides needed services for children, the elderly with Alzheimer’s Disease and just about everyone in between.There are services for kids, for those with drug and alcohol dependencies and the elderly with mental problems. CAP feeds folks at noon time, houses them when they are sick or troubled and provides treatment when necessary. It does all this, with the support of federal and state governments, and with the support and goodwill of we local folks. The same is true for the other two counties. Under Larry’s leadership ,CAP is also involved in many other activities. In Coos it has been involved with taking over and managing the Northern Forest Heritage Park which had fallen on hard times financially and managerially. CAP installed a manager and began to work on the finances. The park has recovered and is continuing to fulfill its

mission here. The same energy has been applied to rescuing the Chamber of Commerce and helping to rescue and convert downtown properties to new uses. The same has been true in the other counties. CAP has rescued a school building in Ashland from being demolished after a long struggle with the local school board. The building has now won acclaim for its beauty and utility. It has also built a dental clinic in Carroll County which is fully operational and booked solidly. These projects and many others were completed largely because of Larry Kelly’s involvement and leadership’ In fact, for many of us board members, Larry’s retirement raised some questions about the future of Tri-County Cap. We are given assurance by our knowledge of the ability and dedication of his successor. Larry will be replaced by Joe Costello of North Conway. Joe has been president pf the board of directors for ten years. During that time he has worked closely with Larry and has convinced we board members of both his loyalty to the cause and his skill in carrying out the work in the future. We board members are also happy to welcome Joe’s replacement as board president. He is Bill Hatch of Gorham who has served as treasurer for many years. With Bill, a member of the NH House of Representatives and, Joe, a long time banker in Conway at the helm, we board members are convinced we have a winning team in place. As Larry leaves the post of executive director, we board members are happy for him. We know he will be there if needed to keep the agency on the straight and narrow. We’ll miss his energy, his sunny disposition and his great management skills, however, but he’ll always be a good neighbor! All the best to you, Larry, you’ve done good!

Stamp out hunger by donating to the Letter Carriers/UW Food Drive To the editor: Dear friends and neighbors, I am proud to announce that the letter carriers throughout the United States and the letter carrier’s right here in Berlin will once again put in a tremendous effort to “Stamp Out Hunger” in our communities. This marks the eighteenth year that the Berlin, Gorham, Milan and Shelburne areas take part in this awesome event know as the “National Letter Carrier Food Drive”. The city letter carriers and rural carriers with the assistance of Volunteers from the United Way of Northern New Hampshire and local agencies, and the generosity of our new sponsor AutoNorthPre-Owned SuperStore and Service Center and Valley Creek Eatery are preparing for the daylong event that will take place on Saturday, May 14. With your help we hope to once again make a difference in the lives of children, the elderly and the less fortunate in our community. I am proud to announce that your efforts to help “Stamp Out Hunger” has been an amazing success over the years. While there is excitement in the air from potential plans to re-opening the Cascade Mill, for now, many workers continue to be unemployed and are likely struggling to make ends meet. We hope to see all of them back to work very soon for their benefit and for the benefit of our community. And let’s hope that there will be new jobs created for others. It has been a difficult time for all but there is a light and there

is hope. Unfortunately, these difficult times will not likely get better for those who are retired, on a fixed income or who are unable find work. The increased cost of medications, auto fuel, heating oil and food are forcing many people try to get through the day with less medications, less heat and little food. There are people of all ages who do not have enough food to eat and will go to sleep hungry tonight. If you are not one of these people, would you please help us to help them? If you were to become one who is in need, wouldn’t it be nice to see this food drive succeed? If it was you at one time, would you please consider returning the generosity and donate to this food drive? If it is you, please remember those who helped to make your meal possible and please consider helping your community in your own way. Many people have continued to support this food drive. This year we are looking again for your support. For those of you who have not yet joined in this battle to Stamp Out Hunger, now is your chance. Don’t miss it! We are asking you to donate only what you can. One can of peas, tuna, tomatoes or a box of spaghetti or macaroni from all who can donate will make the difference. Items that will directly benefit children like breakfast cereals, canned fruit and the ever popular boxes of macaroni and cheese are always needed. But, if see FOOD DRIVE page 5

Council okays $2,500 to help buy furniture for Bickford Park BY BARBARA TETREAULT

BERLIN – The city council, the Berlin Main Street Program, and a private company have stepped forward to cover the cost of furniture for the city’s newest park, Bickford Park. The city council Monday night voted to use $2,500 in its contingency fund to help purchase furniture for the park after Mayor Paul Grenier raised the issue last week. Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority Chair Mike Caron said the furniture budget for the park was cut when the project exceeded the overall budget BIDPA had set for it. He explained there are some built-in benches but $18,200 allocated for tables and chairs was eliminated. With the park nearing completion, BIDPA and the Main Street Program began looking at ways to provide the furniture. BIDPA reviewed the numbers and came up with an estimate of about $10,000 for a reduced number of tables and chairs. The final bid for the furniture came in at $8,960. Bob Chapman of Chapman Scrap Metal & Demolition agreed to cover a third of the cost if BIDPA could find two other donors. The Berlin Main Street Program agreed to cover a third and Monday night the council came on board with a donation of $2,500.

Grenier said he felt it was appropriate for the council to use its small contingency fund for the park. He said the park improves the appearance of the city. Caron said the tables and chairs are heavy but can be moved around to allow people to gather together. He said the furniture will be left out at night but two cameras will be recording activities at the park. Councilor Mike Rozek asked if the cameras are tied-in to the police station. Caron said they discussed installing a camera that would be monitored at the police station but it was expensive and was another item cut from the budget. Rozek expressed concern the park will be used for illegal activities after dark. Rozek said he would like the city to be pro-active and get such a camera set-up now. Councilor Roland Theberge asked if there might be grant money available to put a police surveillance camera in the park. Police Chief Peter Morency said he thought the city could try on the basis of children’s safety. He promised to check into available grants and get back to the council. The furniture is expected to be in place for the grand opening ceremonies for the Bickford Place and Park at next month’s Drive in the 50’s festivities in the downtown.

Why this place matters BERLIN -- After decades of planning, construction for the Route 110 relocation will begin soon. On Saturday, May 14, property owners and residents of the avenues will have a chance to learn more about preserving the history and character of this area at a public forum from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon at Berlin City Hall. Former Berlin city planner, Jeffrey H. Taylor, who led a public design charrette on April 29, and 30, will share the recommended enhancements to undeveloped land along the corridor. “When the Route 110 relocation is complete, it will move cars and heavy truck traffic more safely and efficiently, but it can do much more,” said Taylor. “Land that is part of the acquired properties that is not needed for the roadway can be used to make the Aaenues a more pleasant place to live. We are proposing wide sidewalks lined with trees, parks, community gardens and play areas that highlight the vistas and natural scenery of the neighborhood.” Residents are encouraged to provide further input on the charette’s redesign proposal at the forum. Those who lived in the avenues are invited to share their stories of life in this neighborhood in a discussion led by Poof Tardiff, Berlin historian and local newspaper columnist. Recollections tied to the buildings and places of The Avenues are an important way to tell the story of Berlin’s history. In the presentation “Stories Your Building Can Tell and How You Can Take Care of its Stories,” preservation planner Lynne Emerson Monroe will speak on the architecture and history of this neighborhood. She will show how porches, stonework, and other details help define Berlin’s neighborhoods. Along with builder Frank Whittemore, she will present ideas and strategies for restoring and preserving these aspects of the neighborhood’s historic character. Residents are invited to bring photographs of their houses if they have specific questions or stories they wish to share.

Those who attend the forum will receive a discount coupon for preservation and restoration project materials purchased from Berlin Aubuchon Hardware or the Caron Building Center, as well as a packet of practical information for maintaining historic porches, foundations, siding, windows, and other building elements. The avenues (Berlin Heights Addition District) was found eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The neighborhood was designed in a grid pattern between 1892 and 1893 by the Berlin Heights Land Corporation, and located next to Berlin Heights, an earlier neighborhood to the north. At the time, Berlin’s evergrowing workforce created a strong demand for housing. Local real estate speculators and individual property owners constructed both single and multi-family homes in the avenues, and a very diverse ethnic population quickly moved in to occupy the neighborhood. There is no charge to participate in the May 14, public forum, and refreshments will be provided. Pre-registration is encouraged but not required. Sign up to attend the “Why This Place Matters“ public forum by contacting the NH Preservation Alliance at (603) 224-2281 or email admin@nhpreservation. org . The forum is sponsored by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation and the city of Berlin, in partnership with the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance. The Berlin Historical Society, Tri-County CAP, and Berlin Better Buildings are co-sponsors. Another public workshop will be held on September 17, at the Northern Forest Heritage Park. Peter Michaud from the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources will explain the concept and benefits of protective covenants that will be offered for some properties affected by the Route 110 relocation. Homeowners will also hear from weatherization and energy experts and receive practical tips and strategies for saving energy in older buildings while maintaining their historic character.

COUNCIL from page one

city is currently receiving $160,000 in taxes on the property. One major change from Thursday budget session was the council’s decision to cut $15,000 for contracting with Tri-County Community Action Program for part of Economic Development Director Max Makaitis’ position. Councilor Diana Nelson said she could not vote for the position while the budget calls for laying off current employees. Councilor Tom McCue said he hopes members of the public attend the public budget hearing and speak out about the budget. In other business: * Police Chief Peter Morency said his research shows the city would clearly be within its right to ban exotic pets from city parks. The issue arose last week when Councilor Diana Nelson said she had received two complaints about people walking in Community Field with large snakes wrapped around their bodies. She said one caller reported the snakes frightened her child and she had to leave the park. Morency said the city already bans dogs in city parks. He said the city can amend the ordinance to add exotic pets. He recommended using a list of exotic pets from the N.H. Fish

and Game web site. Morency said he thought the city would be smart to act now, before there is an incident. Grenier asked if the proposed amendment could extend the ban to special community events like Drive in the 50s. Morency said it could. He said the only exception he would include is for Seeing Eye Dogs. * The council will send a letter to the state Site Evaluation Committee stating its support for the four issues before the committee in the latest motion regarding the proposed biomass plant in Berlin. LaidLaw Berlin BioPower and Berlin Station LLC are proposing to transfer the certificate to operate and construct the facility from Laidlaw to Berlin Station. In addition, Homeland Renewable Energy and Fibrowatt Operations would be replaced as the major contractor providing construction, operation, and management services with Waldron Engineering and Construction, Inc. Laidlaw is asking to be allowed to change fuel suppliers and replace Cousineau Forest Products with Richard Carrier Trucking and to increase the facility’s generating capacity from 70 megawatts to 75 megawatts. Councilor Mike Rozek raised the issue, noting there are three new councilors on the council. He suggested the

council send a letter indicating its strong support for the project at the May 18 hearing. Councilor Tom McCue said he did not see the new councilors as a referendum on Laidlaw since they were appointed and not elected to the council. He said the city is already on record as supporting the application before the SEC. McCue said the city remains split on the project and he was disappointed to see the issue of Laidlaw rehashed at the council again. Grenier took issue with McCue’s remarks about the councilors being appointed, noting all three have lived in the city longer than McCue. He said the three stood up to represent their com-

munity and shouldn’t be belittled for it. McCue said he was not belittling anyone. He said his point was that they were not elected based on their opinion on Laidlaw. Councilor Roland Theberge said he applied to fill the vacant Ward IV because he heard from a lot of people who are in favor of the project. Theberge said the city needs new industry to support the community. He said the biomass plant will not have the odor and noise issue of the pulp mill that was there for years. Saying, “we are ten feet from home plate”, Rozek made a motion to send the letter to the SEC. It passed with only McCue voting in opposition.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t have to be the best in the whole world. You only have to be the best in the competition -- and probably today that means being the best in the room. You can do it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mind is so active now that it’s not easy to center your thoughts on the needs of others. However, when you do this and act in accordance, you create excitement, interest and sales. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). For your idea to be accepted by the decision-makers above you, they have to want to like it. Success depends on giving them a reason to want to like it, and then giving them something worth liking. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You get around in new ways. You rely on your phone and computer more, that’s true. But you also listen more astutely to your intuition and act on what you hear. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Finishing what you start will be a big deal now. It’s a matter of dignity. You gain self-esteem knowing that you completed the cycle. Also, you just want to get on with your life. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 11). You’ll be chosen for a special position because of the high level of respect you command from and give to others. Life is smooth as you seek relationships with those who learn easily and work peacefully. August and November bring a financial bonus. You’ll be awarded in March. December brings a happy family event. Gemini and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 32, 20, 16, 15 and 37.

by Richard Thompson

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your energy remains high when you don’t stick with any one focus for too long. You will excel with short-term assignments and situations that have a definite endpoint. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s an ethereal feeling to the day. The work you have to do may seem more mystical than practical. Succeeding in this will require a certain abdication of logic and convention. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You do a lot in the spirit of common decency that you think others would do, as well. It will be clearly illustrated today that not everyone got the memo. It might help you to think of yourself as a teacher and leader. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Forging the bonds of friendship is often so much fun that you don’t see it as work. But sometimes it is work, and you’ll do what it takes to respect, defend and maintain this bond. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have many talents, but the best one of all is your ability to make the day better for yourself and everyone around you. You will spread beautiful vibes wherever you go. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Just because a saying is witty doesn’t mean it’s true. But if the statement is really funny -- so funny you can’t stop laughing -- there must be some degree of truth to it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re not messing around. On the mundane matters, you’ll show no mercy. Something may sound good or look good on paper, but if it doesn’t work well in real life, you’ll drop it.

READER SPILLS THE BEANS ABOUT TASTY SUMMER DISH

DEAR ABBY: Your mother’s recipes occasionally have been printed in your column. However, there is one of the best that I have never seen yet. It’s her “St. James’ Baked Beans.” If you have never tried it before, then the greatest taste sensation has been missed. I am always invited back to any party -- provided I bring the beans. I have always given your mom full credit for the recipe and have never changed a single ingredient. You can’t improve upon perfection. Do your readers a favor and print it. They won’t be sorry. My mom started making them when she bought the first cookbooklet in 1987, and I have continued the tradition. Thanks! -- SANDRA S., PORT ST. LUCIE, FLA. DEAR SANDRA: I’m pleased to print the recipe. With summer almost here, those baked beans will make a welcome addition to any barbecue or patio party -- and they’re high in fiber, too. Other recipes in the cookbooklet set are also terrific for entertaining when the weather is sweltering. Among them are Summer Cucumber Salad, Cucumber Soup, Abby’s Tomato Salad, Summer Surprise Dessert (made with fresh fruit) and Ritz Pecan Pie. All of them are simple and easy to make. The cookbooklet set can be ordered by sending your name and address, plus check or money order for $12 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby -- Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Included with the recipes are tips for not only

entertaining, but also how to graciously end a party without being rude -- a question I am frequently asked. ST.JAMES’ BAKED BEANS (Serves 8) 6 slices bacon, diced 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 (16-ounce) can pork and beans, drained 1 (16-ounce) can lima beans, drained 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained 1 (10-ounce) package sharp cheddar cheese, cubed 1 cup ketchup 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 1 1/2-quart casserole. In a small skillet, saute the bacon and onions until the bacon is crisp and onions are lightly browned; drain well. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Add bacon-onion mixture; mix well. Pour bean mixture into prepared casserole. Bake uncovered at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Enjoy! DEAR ABBY: Why is it when women get headaches or something goes wrong that depresses them, they take it out on us men? -- SOMETIMES NOT MY FAULT IN SIOUX CITY, IOWA DEAR SOMETIMES NOT MY FAULT: For the same reason that men do it. It’s because you are THERE.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at: Dear Abby, c/o The Conway Daily Sun, PO Box 1940, North Conway, NH 03860

Huskies survive Patriot scare, 4-3 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM -- Gorham senior pitcher Doug Willey returned to the mound in the top of the seventh inning and then made a tag play at the plate on Profile runner, Cam Johnson, to end the game and give the Huskies a hard fought 4-3 victory over the Patriots in a boy’s Division III baseball game in Gorham Monday. The Huskies led 4-3 entering the final inning of play. Junior Cody Gauthier set down the first Profile player on strikes. Profile’s Tim

Krol followed with a deep double to right centerfield, to end Gauthier’s stint on the mound. Krol scampered to third base on a pass ball, with Profile lead-off hitter Johnson at the plate. Johnson hit a slow roller to Willey and Krol tried to score. Willey threw to catcher, Tyler Sanschagrin, who applied the tag for the second out of the inning. Profiles Johnson was almost picked off first base by Willey. However, Johnson pilfered second base just beating Sanschagrin’s throw, to move into scoring position.

In doubles, the Berlin duo of Moriah and Miriam Arsenault topped Lakers Gayla Martin and Ariana Gunderson 8-2. The Berlin combination of Felicia Arsenault and Kathryn Record fell to Tona Lilley and Kim Ryan, 3-8, and the final doubles team of Staci Beaudoin and Emily Ploudre stopped the Laker duo of Valy Plaza-Erazo and Megan Reid, 8-4. After the contest, coach Patty Hood commented on her teams’ play. “I was extremely proud of the girls,” said Hood. “They all played very well and brought their game to another level.”

Leading 4-2, it was going to be the doubles play that would decide who would win the match. Berlin’s top duo of Moriah Arsenault and Al Aldrich beat Jessica Eaton and Amber Brooks 8-2, the #2 seeded doubles team of Felicia Arsenault and Miriam Arsenault lost to Theresa Krastel and Katja Klegensteuber 3-8, and senior Staci Beaudoin and Kathryn Record shut out Stevens’ players Emmy Craigue and Kayla Tanguay 8-0, for the 6-3 victory. “The girls played a very good Steven’s team,” said head coach Patty Hood. “Many of the games were close. The girls stayed focused and consistent, which allowed them to be successful.” The Lady Mountaineers will battle Kearsage and Profile in their next two matches.
