The ‘end of an era’ at Berlin District Court

BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN— A lot has changed at Berlin District Court since 1986— judges have come and gone, cases have been filed and closed, the courthouse moved from one place to another but one thing has remained constant: court clerk Esther Gilbert.

However, at the end of the month, that’s going to change.

Gilbert is retiring on June 1 after 24 years at the Berlin District Court.

“It’s bittersweet,” said Gilbert.

“I’m certainly going to miss it.”

Gilbert first arrived at the district court after working at the Appalachian Mountain Club for 17 years when she started looking for a part-time job, she said.

When the clerk’s position opened up, Gilbert then transitioned into that role.

One of the best things about working at the court was getting to meet and interact with a plethora of people, she said. She added the other clerks, support staff, judges, attorneys and city employees, when the court occupied its former location have been a pleasure to know.

While housed at the old courthouse, Gilbert said she loved working with Laura Viger. She added Viger did a lot to help restore the courthouse and get people to help with the work around the building.

Gilbert said she enjoyed working with various agencies, like the Berlin Police Department, state police, the Division of Children Youth and Families. She added she could always rely on them to answer any questions.

There are two people Gilbert said she’ll miss the most.

“I’m will certainly miss my staff,” said Gilbert. “They’ve been so supportive of me.”

Gilbert said Denise Valerino and Tracie Brisson are extremely hard working and a pleasure to work with. She added she might not have stayed so long if it wasn’t for the two of them.

During her tenure at the district court, Gilbert remembers two areas where she enjoyed working.

When the district court processed the involuntary emergency admissions, Gilbert said she saw see ERA page 9

Prescription drug take back program nets 19 pounds in Gorham

GORHAM -- On April 30, the Gorham Police Department was one of 92 New Hampshire police agencies to participate in the 2nd National Prescription Drug Take Back coordinated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Over 20 citizens from the Gorham area turned in over 19 pounds of expired, unused or unwanted prescription drugs. Statewide, New Hampshire citizens turned in 4,020 pounds of prescription drugs.

This was a significant increase from the first take-back in September 2010. The service was free and anonymous for all participants.

D.A.R.E NH was a participating agent of the April 30, take-back, which is where Sergeant Jennifer Lemoine, Gorham’s D.A.R.E. officer, first learned of the program. Prescription drug use and abuse in our country is on the rise and Gorham Police Department has seen its effects through reported prescrip-

tion drug thefts and related crimes. Sergeant Lemoine feels participating in take-back programs is a positive step toward the spread of education and awareness about prescription drug problems. She considers Gorham’s participation in the first take-back a success.

The DEA is planning another take-back for October 2011, which the Gorham Police Department intends to participate in.

Statistics have shown that most teens believe prescription drugs are easier to obtain than illicit drugs and 63 percent believe that prescription drugs are easy to get from a friend or family member’s medicine cabinet.

The number of emergency room visits attributed to pharmaceuticals alone was up 97 percent between 2004 and 2008, according to the New England Division of the DEA.

Speaking up in class via social media

(NY Times) — Wasn’t it just the other day that teachers confiscated cellphones and principals warned about oversharing on MySpace?

Now, Erin Olson, an English teacher in Sioux Rapids, Iowa, is among a small but growing cadre of educators trying to exploit Twitter-like technology to enhance classroom discussion. On Friday, as some of her 11th graders read aloud from a poem called “To the Lady,” which ponders why bystanders do not intervene to stop injustice, others kept up a running commentary on their laptops.

The poet “says that people cried out and tried but nothing was done,” one student typed.

Another offered, “She is giving raw proof ... that we are slaves to our society.”

Instead of being a distraction — an electronic version of note-passing — the chatter echoed and fed into the main discourse, said Mrs. Olson, who monitored the stream and tried to absorb it into the lesson. She and others say that social media, once barricaded outside the school door, can entice students who rarely raise a hand to express themselves through a medium they find as natural as breathing.

“When we have class discussions, I don’t really feel the need to speak up or anything,” said one of her students, Justin Lansink, 17. “When you type something down, it’s a lot easier to say what I feel.”

SAYWHAT...

“

A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular.”

Obama seeks reset in Arab world

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

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — For President Obama, the killing of Osama bin Laden is more than a milestone in America’s decade-long battle against terrorism.

It is a chance to recast his response to the upheaval in the Arab world after a frustrating stretch in which the stalemate in Libya, the murky power struggle in Yemen and the brutal crackdown in Syria have dimmed

the glow of the Egyptian revolution.

Administration officials said the president was eager to use Bin Laden’s death as a way to articulate a unified theory about the popular uprisings from Tunisia to Bahrain — movements that have common threads but also disparate features, and have often drawn sharply different responses from the United States.

Crime wave in Egypt has people afraid, even police CAIRO (NY Times) — The neighbors watched helplessly from behind locked doors as an exchange of gunfire rang out at the police station. Then a stream of about 80 prisoners burst through the doors — some clad only in underwear, many brandishing guns, machetes, even a fire extinguisher — as the police fled.

“The police are afraid,” said Mohamed Ismail, 30, a witness. “I am afraid to leave my neighborhood.”

Three months after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak, a surging crime

wave in post-revolutionary Egypt has emerged as a serious threat to its promised transition to democracy. Businessmen, politicians and human rights activists say they fear that the mounting disorder — from sectarian strife to soccer riots — is hampering a desperately needed economic recovery or, worse, inviting a new authoritarian crackdown.

At least five attempted jailbreaks have been reported in Cairo in the past two weeks, at least three of them successful.

The first sign of this “reset” could come as early as next week, when Mr. Obama plans to give a speech on the Middle East in which he will seek to put Bin Laden’s death in the context of the region’s broader political transformation. The message, said one of his deputy national security advisers, Benjamin J. Rhodes, will be that “Bin Laden is the past; what’s happening in the region is the future.”

Inspectors found preparedness issues at U.S. nuclear plants ROCKVILLE, Md. (NY Times) — Despite repeated assurances that American nuclear reactors are better equipped to deal with natural disasters than their counterparts in Japan, regulators said Thursday that recent inspections found serious problems with some emergency equipment that would have made it unusable in an accident.

In addition, the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission acknowledged that the agency’s current regulations and disaster plans did not give enough consideration to two factors that had greatly contributed to the continuing Fukushima Daiichi crisis in Japan: simultaneous problems at more than one reactor at the same site and a natural disaster that disrupts roads, electricity and other infrastructure surrounding a plant.

The briefing was part of a review requested by the commissioners to evaluate the vulnerability of American reactors to severe natural disasters like the ones that hit the Japanese plant in March.

‘He is not a murderer,’ Standoff: Mother wanted friend says of Papile daughter out of harm’s way

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Friday, April 13, 2011— Page 3

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

OSSIPEE — The Attorney General’s office is keeping a tight lid on the evidence implicating the three men charged in connection with Krista Dittmeyer’s death, but details about the men’s lives have been emerging.

Senior assistant attorney general Jane Young gave very short answers to questions about whether more arrests are pending or whether more charges might be filed against Anthony Papile, Michael Petelis and Trevor Ferguson.

It depends on what the facts of the case reveal, she said. “The investigation remains ongoing.”

She would not confirm if any of the sealed search warrants issued by Ossipee District Court on Wednesday pertained to her cases, and neither could the court.

“All I know is the judge looked at them, signed them and sealed them,” court clerk Jean Flayhan said. She didn’t know how many search warrants there were.

State Police officers were combing the area around Petelis’ apartment on Route 16 in Ossipee on Thursday.

But while authorities have been quiet, other information about the three men is coming out.

Papile, the 28-year-old Ossipee man authorities say plotted to steal drugs and money from Dittmeyer and wound up killing her, was formerly a snowmaker at the ski area where Dittmeyer’s body was found.

“We can only confirm he was a seasonal employee four years ago in 2007,” Cranmore spokeswoman Kathy Bennett said. She then directed all further questions to the Attorney General’s office: “This is an active investigation and we are cooperating with police, and until the case is completely resolved we are not making any statements.”

In the Sun’s archives are photos of Papile making snow in late 2006.

Papile’s criminal record goes back to 2002. He’s been in and out of jail since 2004, when he was convicted of crimi-

nal threatening, a misdemeanor. He is currently serving two years probation for a receiving stolen property from November 2009.

The Department of Corrections had yet file a violation of probation, but officials there said they intended to.

Papile has been charged with several other crimes in the past, including burglary and witness tampering, but those charges were dropped.

A close friend of Papile’s who has known him for years said there is no way he killed Dittmeyer.

“He is not a murderer,” Holly West said. Papile is godfather to her daughter, she said, the kind of guy who would stop to help you if you had a flat tire.

“He has no reason to do this,” she said. “Tony doesn’t do drugs. He’s never been that way.”

He does make bad decisions, she said, and has stolen and lied in the past, but “a thief doesn’t equal a murderer.”

None of his convictions are for violent acts, she points out.

“He got caught up in a bad situation,” she said, which isn’t surprising because of how willing he is to be helpful. The authorities are accusing the wrong person of murder, she said.

One of the two men accused of conspiring with Papile, Trevor Ferguson, was always at Papile’s side, West said.

“Trev is an amazing guy,” she said.

“He does everything Tony says.”

The night Dittmeyer disappeared, April 22, was Ferguson’s birthday.

Ferguson graduated from Mary Walker High School in Springdale, Wash., in 2006. He has worked at several of local restaurants, sometimes alongside Papile. According to his MySpace page, he hopes to become a crime-scene investigator, and he is a fan of crime dramas.

There are similarities between the Dittmeyer crime scene and an episode of Criminal Minds.

Papile started to Kingswood Regional High School in Wolfboro in fall of 1997 at the same time as the third man involved, Michael Petelis.

BY MARK HAYWARD THE UNION LEADER

MANCHESTER — James Breton had a gun. He expected police would soon come to charge him with sexually assaulting a teenage relative.

And he had told the young woman he would only leave the apartment in a body bag.

That was what Manchester police knew last Thursday afternoon, hours before they approached Breton’s Main Street apartment, according to Breton’s longtime companion.

The visit by police started a 35-hour standoff that ended Saturday morning with Breton dead from a state police SWAT-team bullet.

The 50-year-old had holed up in the apartment with his 7-year-old daughter, Jamie Breton, who was unharmed.

“It shouldn’t have ended the way it did,” said Laura Gardner, Breton’s longtime girlfriend and Jamie’s mother. She spoke to the New Hampshire Union Leader Wednesday in the office of her lawyer, Joe Kelly Levasseur.

On Thursday afternoon, police had spoken to a 19-year-old member of Gardner’s family. She told police that Breton had started sexually assaulting her several years before, Gardner said.

The young woman bore his child about 18 months ago, Gardner said.

Gardner said that during the interview, the woman told police that Breton had a gun, and he said he would only leave the apartment in a body bag. The young woman also told police he would not hurt Jamie, but police should arrest him once Jamie was out of the house, Gardner said.

“I wanted to get Jamie out of the house before this happened,” Gardner said. “I didn’t want Jamie to see what happened.” Levasseur said police handled the situation very poorly by approaching the house with Jamie inside. The lawyer said Gardner has no intention of taking legal action against the city or police.

The police shooting is under inves-

tigation, and authorities have said it should take seven to 10 days before a preliminary investigation is completed.

Homicide prosecutor Jeffery Strelzin refused to answer several questions a reporter emailed him on Wednesday.

Gardner said their daughter did not see the actual shooting; Breton had sent her to another room right before.

“She said she went to the kitchen, she heard a sound — I don’t think she knew what she heard — and she saw her daddy laying on the floor,” Gardner said.

Gardner is going through a range of feelings, she said. She’s sad her companion of 10 years is gone. She’s angry he was shot. She’s angry her daughter doesn’t have a father.

“Obviously, part of me is saying that was not a smart move. I also know James would never let anything happen to that little girl,” Gardner said.

She said she had recently confronted Breton about the sexual assault of her family member. She said he admitted to it. Gardner said she encouraged the young woman to contact police.

Gardner said Jamie is OK at times.

Other times she cries. Still other times she isolates herself.

During the standoff, Breton let her watch movies and play Wii, at least until authorities cut power to the building. Jamie understood that police were there for Breton, Gardner said.

“She was trying to comfort him as much as he was trying to comfort her,” Gardner said.

Gardner acknowledged that Breton was abusive, but she stayed in the relationship because deep down he was not really that type of person, she said.

Breton was hurt while working in 1998, and suffered from chronic pain in his foot, she said. It was difficult for him to hold a job. He felt like a failure, and was depressed at times, Gardner said.

Wonderment of cowboy outfit and six shooters To the editor: I freely admit having an invisible friend when I was a kid. Called himself Paddywhack and he hung around a great deal while I tried to figure stuff out as a mischievous young boy. He was a pretty good friend back then, didn’t say too much; actually, he didn’t say anything at all.

He would only shake a disapproving finger at me when I was about to risk life or limb or commit some form of chicanery. I did get the occasional affirmative head nod, though rarely, when I suggested we embark on some worthwhile endeavor.

Eventually, though, I outgrew him or he outgrew me.

Maybe it was mutual, though I suspect he’d had enough.

Well, unfortunately, Paddywhack is back and he isn’t the same guy I knew back then. For one, he’s much older. A lot older. Time has not been kind to him. The lines in his face are deep and scar-like, a veritable map of the hardships he’s endured, the weariness of a life not well traveled. Maybe long after we parted ways, he came to that inevitable fork in the road, the one we all face, did an eeni-meenieminie-mo, gambled, took the wrong road and lost.

What concerns me, what really freaks me out, is that he is, to be kind, unkempt.

His wispy, gray streaked hair that spills out along the sides of his baseball cap is matted and oily. The beard that covers most of his face is spotted with speckles of dried food and what I suspect might be lice. The

clothes he wears are torn and tattered, stained with God knows what, most likely from his rummaging around in those alley dumpsters found behind restaurants.

So, he smells. Real bad.

Suffice to say, this isn’t a happy reunion. When I leave the house in the morning, there he is, sitting in my truck waiting to bum a ride to who knows where. He still does not speak. When I prevail up him, suggesting he might want to consider showering and cleaning himself up a little, he just waves me off indignantly as though I had just asked him to donate a kidney. Invariably, he simply hands me a newspaper with brightly highlighted circles around front page news stories.

Gas prices up. Housing markets down. Suicide bomber kills 37 in Iraq.

Obama pledges government accountability. CEO of Leeman Brothers nets $84 mil. Afganistan village falls prey to Taliban. Bank foreclosures up 87 percent. Taxes rise, unemployment rates rise, food prices rise, health care costs rise, federal and state deficits rise, economy staggers under weight of government spending.

This isn’t the way I want to start the day. I am in constant fear that this house of cards we live in is teetering on the brink of collapse, but I don’t need a wayward, smelly, mute childhood friend to overwhelm me with it, either. Not now; I’ve got my own brush fires to extinguish. see SHOOTERS page 5

May 15 Ithaca Bound

If you are interested in a world event of the past that has a direct bearing on current events, keep reading. If you are interested in a sports record that may never be broken, keep reading. If you are interested in one of the most beloved works of MGM’s treasure trove of movie musicals, keep reading. The date May 15th is relevant to all of them.

It was on the 15th of May, in 1988, that the military forces of the Soviet Union began their withdrawal from the near-decade-long war they had been fighting in Afghanistan.

Their efforts to establish a Communist government in that oft-invaded land had been a failure. Perhaps as many as 15,000 of their troops had been killed, and an estimated 1,000,000 Afghanis had lost their lives in the conflict. The cost to the Soviet Union’s treasury had been enormous.

The decision to invade had not come easily.

Only when it looked as though the USSR’s covert efforts to bring Afghanistan into its sphere of influence were about to fail did the nation’s leaders reluctantly decide to commit troops to bring about their desired ends.

Their military was even more reluctant to get involved.

The military had watched America’s involvement in the Vietnam War very carefully. They saw many parallels with invading Afghanistan. Also, they believed that the numbers of troops being discussed was far too small, and many believed that their mission was not particularly well-defined. The National Security Archive that I consulted regarding USSR’s Afghanistan invasion, along with many other sources, felt that the internal disagreements among the Soviet Union’s leadership about this and other national matters led to the eventual fall of the USSR. Are there not lessons here for the United States?

On the 15th of May, in 1941, Joe DiMaggio had a one-for-four day against Eddie Smith and the Chicago White Sox. For the next two months, game after game, fifty-six of them in all, DiMaggio kept on hitting. It would take two brilliant back-handed stops by Cleveland’s fine third baseman, Ken Keltner, to finally bring DiMaggio’s one-man onslaught to an end. During DiMaggio’s hitting streak, a streak that may never see its equal, saw him hit .409, getting ninety-one hits in two hundred-twenty-three at bats. The great New York Yankee center fielder’s incredible effort would help lead his team to the World Series that year, a series they won, as they have so many others.

Boston’s Ted Williams had quite a year of

his own in 1941. His .406 batting average of that season put him in the highly exclusive club of baseball’s greatest hitters. There has not been a .400 hitter in the seventy years since. Williams is often credited with saying that the single hardest thing to do in all of sport is to hit a pitched baseball. From the time it leaves the pitcher’s hand, the batter has .04 of a second to see the ball and swing the bat. The 1941 achievements of Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams, and indeed their career-long accomplishments, leave no doubt as to why their names are etched forever in the minds of baseball lovers everywhere.

This last one is rather personal. The 15th of May, in 1958, saw the opening of MGM’s nine-academy-awards winning movie musical version of “Gigi.” Its score, with music

by Frederick Loewe and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, is a treasure trove of charming and delightful songs. Along with “My Fair Lady,” it ranks right at the top of their finest collaborations. One of the first professional roles I had in musical theatre was that of Honore Lachaille, the role that was tailor-made for Maurice Chevalier in the movie.

For those who may not know, the musical is based on the 1944 novella of the same name by the French writer and activist who wrote under the name Collette (1873-1954). It concerned what many would consider the scandalous lifestyle of many of those of wealth in turn-of-the-Twentieth-Century Paris. But a deeper examination reveals that it is also about the changes taking place in the malefemale relationships of the period. The love affair between Gaston and Gigi is more than just a passing flirtation. And even the aging bon vivant, Honore, and his one time flameof-the-moment, Mamita, find themselves drawn together once more.

And Honore has such wonderful songs to sing! The delightful “Thank Heaven for Little Girls,” the reflective “I’m Glad I’m Not Young Anymore,” and my personal favorite of all, “I Remember It Well,” which Honore sings with Mamita.

For whatever reason, the stage version of the movie musical version was largely a failure on Broadway. Perhaps it was doomed to be so from the start, what with the inevitable comparisons to the nine-academy-awards winning MGM production. But I have only fond memories of the New London Barn Playhouse production that I was in. Of course, I may be a bit prejudiced.

To the editor: Well seeing that I, Robert Balon, was in the Berlin District Court Docket recently I felt it was important to make sure the public knows the facts of the case.

First, I am appealing my case to the Supreme Court. Ok, my case deals with a boundary line issue that consists of the cutting of a 3-inch diameter tree branch, 12 or so rocks that can be moved by hand, three landscape timbers and a neighbor who has more connections than me in the area. Now, last year Gorham PD Officer Brian Lamarre came to my property while I was working on it and told me that what I

was doing was a civil matter that needed to be taken care of in Superior Court. Then he went and told my neighbor that I will be arrested, etc., and he did so later for vandalism for some reason. We then went to court and the following happened. GPD Prosecutor Jennifer Lemoine asked the court for over $5,000 in restitution with a fine over $1,000 and then at the final hearing, she asked the Court for $2,500 in restitution and a $750 fine. Noting that, the statute I was charged with only allows for $100 in restitution and a $1,200 maximum fine.

The judge’s order reads as follows: “Finding of see CLARIFY page 5

suspended, plus $120 penalty assessment. (Total $620). Fine suspension is on good behavior for one year and payment of restitution. Pursuant to RSA 634:2, the court is limited to an order of restitution in the amount of $100, as the charge is a Class B Misdemeanor; such as, the defendant is ordered to pay restitution of $100 to the victim within 30 days. This order is without prejudice to the right of Mr. “Neighbor” to seek recovery of additional damages in a civil venue. This case is appealed to the Supreme Court verbally during hearing on sentencing and restitution. Bail order of August 5, 2010 is continued. So Ordered.” At this time, I must point out that the judge ordered a decision against me even though there is an earlier order from the higher Superior Court that says the boundary line is disputed.

SHOOTER from page 4

I’m about to go off on him, give him a stem piece of my mind when he turns to me and I notice that his eyes are puffy and bloodshot, like he’s been crying. I see a tear stream down his cheek and disappear into his thick, disgusting beard. He reaches into a frayed jacket pocket and pulls out a dogeared, yellowed black and white photo and hands it to me. I am instantly reminded of a time when life was good, oh, so damn grand, when time stood still for that one brief moment and nothing meant more to me than the new cowboy outfit I was wearing, six shooters and all. I had long since forgotten about that photo as I had many others like it, when there was a simplicity about life that consumed you, made you laugh out loud, made you want to explore your small world, understand it, appreciate it, long for more. It was all mere wonder, I know that now, but it was

Thus, this is a civil matter not a criminal matter and please note, the judge in his order even refers to a civil venue. I also point out that a “penalty assessment” can only be made if the statute, etc., authorizes it and I cannot find any authorization. In addition, it must be known that Prosecutor Lemoine did not follow court rules and provide me with everything she submitted to the court and the judge did nothing about it when I brought it to his attention at two different hearings and in a document, I submitted to the court. Therefore, due to these facts and others in the case I state again I am appealing my case to the Supreme Court. Finally, I hope this clears up any rumors and or false information that has been going around about what truly happened.

Robert Balon Gorham glorious nonetheless.

Paddywhack and I sat there in a dead silence. I ignored his appearance, his smell, difficult as that was. It was clear that life had not been treating him well. And even though much of his lot in life was self-inflicted, I intuitively knew why he had come back. He looked over to me, smiled and got out. I watched him walk off, a sad, spiritless, sorrowful figure if I had ever seen one.

He had returned to give me that photo, to remind me of a better day, a better time and place, when life seemed to be nothing short of sheer wonderment, that I should not allow myself to be swallowed up with all of the things that had brought him down; that I should once again expect something as simple as a cowboy outfit and six shooters to bring me that wonderment once more.

Second Annual AVH has Talent fundraiser a great success

BERLIN -- The turnout was good at this year’s AVH Has Talent show which supports the AVH Relay for Life Team, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The event was held last Saturday at the White Mountain Chalet and all the seats were full with many other attendees standing to witness the contestants in the talent show.

The fundraiser is held annually and is directed by employees from Androscoggin Valley Hospital. James Patry, public relations and marketing director, and Linda Morris, manager of the gift shop and president of the housing auxiliary, coordinated the event. Patry said, “I am thrilled with the community support. More people attended this year compared to last year. Our intent is to make it bigger and better every year.”

Employees and volunteers from

AVH competed in the talent show.

There were seven acts in all consisting of singers, dancers, musicians, and comedians. The Denise Doucette Band opened the show singing acapella, winning second place for the adult category. The second act was Ellen Ross playing an electric violin and she came in third for adults. D. Roy and the Terrible Two’s then performed their dance act and placed second in the youth category. Zachary Boucher and Luis Cardenas were the next performers who entertained the crowd with their humorous singing and dancing act winning them first place for youths. After that, comedian Josh Godin told his doctor jokes placing him third for youths. Subsequently, Dr. Eric Hamilton of North Country Dental in Conway sang and played acoustic guitar to one of his original

James Patry, one of the co-chairs for AVH Has Talent, and his rock band Zostack, closed the talent show with their musical performance. Pictured Left to right is Andrew Bennett, bass guitar, Lilly Fuller, vocals, Adam Simard, guitar, and James Patry on drums.

a lot of sadness in people’s lives, but that was offset when she would later run into many of those people and see how their lives have turned around.

The second was handling the juvenile justice cases.

Gilbert said she took a liking to many of the people going through the system and was proud to see that they later grew into good citizens.

“That was really rewarding for me,” said Gilbert.

Gilbert said she’s looking forward to spending time with her family, gardening and doing some work around the RECREATION from page 6

songs taking first place for the adult competition. Patry’s rock band, Zostack, closed out the talent show with their performance. The members of Zostack are Patry on drums, Lilly Fuller on vocals, Adam Simard on guitar and Andrew Bennett on bass guitar.

After the talent show, a 50/50 was drawn and the winner, Deb Foss, donated her half to the cause.

Patry and Morris and the AVH’s Relay for Life Team plan on holding the event annually as well as other events including a fundraiser at the common in Gorham on June 17 and 18.

house upon her retirements.

“Right now, I’m just going to relax,” said Gilbert.

Gilbert’s absence won’t go unnoticed at the courthouse.

“It’s going to leave a hole,” said Denise Valerino, of Berlin District Court. “She’s irreplaceable.”

Gilbert was always kind to everybody that walked up to the clerk’s window, said Valerino. She added she always remained patient and professional.

“I know the public’s going to miss her too,” said Valerino.

Chief Peter Morency, of the Berlin Police Department, said when he thinks

of Gilbert the words that come to mind are that she’s a wonderful and caring woman.

Even when people were rude and difficult at the court, Morency said Gilbert always took the high road.

“That’s one thing I’ll always remember about her,” said Morency.

When he was just starting as the department’s juvenile officer, Morency said Gilbert was willing to lend a hand by providing guidance and assistance.

Even today, he added, she’s a reliable place to turn for answers and help with court filings, processes and cases.

“She’ll be sadly missed,” said Morency.

But it wasn’t just about the work at the court.

“We had a lot of laughs over the last 13 years,” said Valerino.

Gilbert often told terrific stories, sang songs, whistled a tune and even sometimes she’d dance, said Valerino. She added Gilbert never acted her age.

“She’s just wonderful,” said Valerino.

But when Gilbert walks out the doors of Berlin District Court she’s taking with her years of knowledge and experience, said Valerino, and will be missed.

“I think that it is truly the end of an era,” said Valerino.

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are naturally compelled to help the very young, the very old and anyone with obvious need. Resist the urge to take care of people who are not in any of those categories.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You may not want the limelight for yourself, but you see the benefit of getting more publicity for your project, your work or your team. You will find it easy to reach many people now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Strategize about how you will reach your goal. Remember that when the atmosphere is calm, sudden movements tend to startle anyone with a heartbeat. But in chaos, no one will be fazed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s absolutely sweet how crazy you are about someone special. Be careful not to make this person the center of your life, though. You are far better suited for that role.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have social premonitions all the time in the sense that you understand people and can accurately predict how they will react in certain circumstances.

Today’s premonition is even more profound than usual.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 13). It’s a lucky year, especially if you happen to have been born on a Friday. But all May 13 birthdays are likely to enjoy love and happiness in this next year, providing you place your affections with those who readily return them. Domestic matters resolve in June. Business brings success in July and October. Sagittarius and Capricorn people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 23, 1, 47, 29 and 37.

Cul de Sac

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve wanted a chance to show someone how much he or she means to you.

You’ll now have the perfect opportunity to do so. You’ll give from the heart and be warmly received.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A certain project seems to be taking over your life in some ways, including financial. Don’t emphasize how expensive it is. Instead, focus on the joy and education it brings you and the bonding that happened because of it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are paying attention and firing on all cylinders. No one has to tell you twice. You’ll receive all the messages clearly the first time, including the nonverbal cues.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You always work harder at jobs you really love. You’ll ask tough questions about today’s work. Would you still do this if you were a multimillionaire? If not, what work would you still be willing to do?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your social circle is expanding, one conversation at a time. Casual fun turns into making plans. It will feel wonderful to make close friends with someone as loving and normal as you are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will conduct many experiments as you try to reach a new level of accomplishment. This may pertain to a game or the mastery of a talent. Once you execute an action, analyze the results you get honestly and objectively.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The sound of a storm can be frightening, even when you’re warm inside and there’s very little chance that the weather will affect you. News is the same way. Know that you’re going to be just fine. You are protected. Take courage.

WIFE LOSES SIGHT OF HER FUTURE AFTER HUSBAND ADMITS HE’S GAY

DEAR ABBY: I recently learned that my husband of 35 years is gay. I never suspected and I am stunned. I have loved him since we met. I still do. I have never been interested in anyone else. We have three children and eight grandchildren who all adore him.

I learned his secret from an email he left on the computer screen. It took a few days, but I confronted him and he told me everything. He has been with men since before our marriage. He assured me he has never done anything that could have caused me to get a disease. I went for an examination and I’m fine.

I’m lost about what my next step should be. I’m in my late 50s. Starting over isn’t something I ever considered. I’m seeing a therapist who suggested it might be simpler to consider myself a widow. I have no interest in having sex with my husband again, but being apart from him terrifies me. I feel like I’m in prison. Have you any suggestions? -- HELPLESS IN MIAMI DEAR HELPLESS: You are not “in prison” and you’re not “helpless.” You’re probably in shock, knowing your husband deceived you from the time you met him. That’s understandable. My advice is to do NOTHING until you regain some sense of balance.

Finding that email was no accident. Consciously or unconsciously, your husband wanted you to see it. That you no longer want to have sex with him isn’t surprising. Some things to consider: Does he still want to have sex with you? How do you feel about having sex with anyone? Is your husband involved with more than one person or just one? And does HE want to stay married?

Some women (and men) remain married to their bisexual spouse. Others marry people they know are gay. I do not

agree with your therapist that you should “consider yourself a widow,” unless you want to be married to the living dead.

Before making any decision about your future, you should contact the Straight Spouse Network. It’s a confidential support network of current or former heterosexual spouses or partners of gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender mates. It helps straight spouses or partners cope constructively with the coming-out crisis and assists mixed-orientation couples and their children to build bridges of understanding. The phone number is (201) 825-7763 and the website is www.

StraightSpouse.org. I wish you luck on your journey.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 19-year-old woman. When I was 4, my mom went to prison for eight years. It turned her life around.

At 38, she now has a college degree, a loving husband, a good job and a new home.

My two younger sisters say they don’t want to be part of Mom’s life, but they never fail to call her at holiday and birthday time to pick up the gifts they know she has bought them. Afterward, they don’t contact her or answer her calls and texts until the next holiday. It leaves Mom depressed and feeling used. I have tried telling them they’re wrong, but they don’t listen. They say I’m wrong for getting in their business.

Is it wrong to want my mother to be happy? -- DAUGHTER ON THE OUTSIDE DEAR DAUGHTER: I don’t blame your mother for feeling depressed and used. Your two younger sisters are manipulative, selfish and self-centered. However, your mother is enabling them to behave that way. Talk to her and suggest family counseling. She may be giving and giving out of guilt, they may be taking and taking in order to punish her, and that’s not healthy for any of them.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
