PSNH to file Unsealed affidavits detail motive modified PPA today behind Pittsburg shooting

BY BARBARA TETREAULT

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – Public Service of N.H. will file a modified Power Purchase Agreement with the state Public Utilities Commission today for the Laidlaw Berlin BioPower biomass plant according to a senior official at Cate Street Capital, which owns the facility.

“It’s being filed tomorrow by PSNH,” said Richard Cyr of Cate Street Capital yesterday afternoon.

The PUC last month rejected the agreement as filed, ruling it was not in the public’s interest. The agency said the contract could cost as much as $2 billion over its 20-year term.

The PUC said it would approve a modified PPA that would reduce payments to approximately $1.3 billion over the 20 years.

PSHN had until today to file a modified PPA. see PSNH page 11

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LANCASTER— A Pittsburg man reportedly told authorities he exercised his right to stop a felony on the day he shot three people and killed one of them.

“It’s my right as a citizen to stop a Class A felony,” said Kenneth Arsenault to authorities when he was located after allegedly shooting Tanya Rancloes and Jesse Park and killing Justin Flanders on Nov. 3, 2010.

The affidavits written by authorities to arrest and charge Arsenault with attempted murder and first-degree murder were unsealed by the court this week after Judge Peter Bornstein granted a motion by Senior Assistant Attorney

General Susan Morrell to release the documents during an arraignment Friday in Superior Court.

Arsenault waived the reading of the charges against him and entered a plea of not guilty during the Friday hearing.

Arsenault stands charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts for first-degree assault.

Bornstein affirmed that Arsenault be held at the county jail without bail.

The unsealed documents give more detail into Arsenault’s statements to authorities when he was taken into custody hours after the shooting see AFFIDAVITS page 10

Ducharme appointed to city council seat

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – The city council Monday night voted to appoint Dori Ducharme to fill the Ward II vacancy created by the resignation of Robert Danderson.

Ducharme said she has lived in Berlin since 2005 and has been active in the community. She is currently the fiscal director at Tri-County Community Action Program and also has experience in organizational development and change management. Ducharme said she understands budgets and described herself as very fiscal conservative. She said works well and collaborates with others.

Asked her position on the proposed Laidlaw/Berlin Station biomass project, Ducharme said she supports it. She also said she will consider running for the council seat in the upcoming election.

Former Ward II Councilor Richard Lafleur also applied for the position. He told the council he has missed serving on the body since he decided to step down almost two years ago. Lafleur said he loved the interaction with citizens and still gets calls from former constituents.

Voting by secret ballot, the council selected Ducharme by a margin of 7-1. She will serve until the next election.

Androscoggin Headwaters Conservation Project to get $6 million in funding

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

ERROL – The multi-phase project to protect over 31,000 acres of land around the headwaters of the Androscoggin River is slated to receive $6.3 million in the current federal budget.

The funding will allow the purchase of just under 3,000 acres of land and protect another 10,000 acres as working forestland with a conservation ease-

Arnold fathered child with employee

LOS ANGELES (NY Times) — Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child nearly a decade ago with a member of his household staff, leading Maria Shriver, his wife, to move out after he told her earlier this year, according to people close to the family. In a statement Tuesday morning, Ms. Shriver called it “a painful and heartbreaking time” for their family.

Schwarzenegger issued a statement Tuesday morning acknowledging the events, and said he informed Ms. Shriver of the affair after he finished his term in office in January. The baby was born before Mr. Schwarzenegger was elected in a special election in 2003. The revelations were first reported Monday by The Los Angeles Times.

“After leaving the Governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago,” he said in a statement. “I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family.

There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family.”

Schwarzenegger’s associates said that the employee, who was not identified, moved out of his mansion and that she has since retired with a severance. They said that Schwarzenegger was paying full child support.

SAYWHAT...

“

Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.”

—Arnold Schwarzenegger

Condé Nast will be anchor of 1 World Trade Center

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

(NY Times) — Condé Nast Publications, whose stable of magazines chronicles the American zeitgeist as meticulously as any anthropologist, has reached an agreement to lease one million square feet at 1 World Trade Center, giving ground zero a much-needed corporate anchor with a proven ability to attract other businesses.

The company signaled its interest in moving to 1 World Trade Center several months ago.

But that was just the beginning of a marathon courtship befitting one of the country’s most

influential buildings and one of its trend-setting media empires, which went far beyond the typical landlord-tenant transaction.

Besides matters of costs, terms and incentives, the negotiations involved reams of traffic studies and security discussions, to ensure that its black cars (more than 100), its racks of designer dresses and its well-shod executives would be able to pass swiftly each day through the police-imposed security zone that is to surround the complex.

Libyan City buries its attackers respectfully MISURATA, Libya (NY Times) — The gravediggers worked methodically and with few words. By now their grisly labor was a routine.

The corpses of the soldiers of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, wrapped in cloth or plastic sheets, had arrived in trucks.

The men who would bury them sprinkled perfumed powder on the dead men’s burned or bloodied brows.

Then they prayed. A quiet

processional began.

The gravediggers carried each corpse over the sand and lowered it inside a waiting box. Each was placed right shoulder down, left side up. In this way, all of the dead men faced Mecca. At last the gravediggers closed and covered the tops of the boxes. Then came the wait for the next truck, which would bring more.

The final formation for many

of the Qaddafi soldiers who put Misurata under siege lies in a solitary plot beside the Mediterranean Sea. The gravediggers have been busy. By last Friday they had interred 358 dead soldiers in all.

That number reflected something of the toll suffered

by Libya’s military in its effort to subdue a city that with the help of NATO aircraft and supplies sent by sea has thus far fought off the Qaddafi troops.

Pressure eases on Mississippi River levees

(NY Times) — The opening of the Morganza Spillway has relieved pressure on levees downriver, leading the Mississippi River to crest at Baton Rouge and New Orleans on Tuesday, sooner and at lower levels than had been predicted.

With the continuing release of water from the swollen Mississippi through the spillway, the river is now expected to top out at 45 feet in Baton Rouge, instead of at 47.5 feet, Ron Trumbla, a spokesman with the National Weather Service, said on Tuesday. Without the opening of the spillway, the river would have been at a record level, topping the mark of 47.3 feet set during the 1927 flood. In New Orleans, the river crested Tuesday at about 17 feet, according to the National Weather Service.

While the massive diversion of water through the spillway seems to have spared Louisiana’s largest cities from widespread flooding, it is expected to mean the inundation of hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland and thousands of homes, as water from the spillway pours out into the Atchafalaya River basin.

N.H. jobless rate falls below 5 percent

BY TOM FAHEY THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — The state unemployment rate continued to decline in April, falling to 4.9 percent, its lowest level since December 2008.

“This is tremendous news for our workers, our businesses and our state,” Gov. John Lynch said. “The reason New Hampshire is outperforming every other state is because we have a successful economic strategy in place. New Hampshire is one of the most businessfriendly states in the nation.”

The rate in April fell from 5.2 percent in March, according to the Department of Employment Security. Last month New Hampshire had the fourth-lowest jobless rate in the nation and the lowest in New Eng-

land. The national unemployment rate for March was 9.0, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Unemployment peaked in New Hampshire in the fall of 2009, when the rate hit 6.7 percent.

The new jobless rate means 36,190 people are still without jobs in the state. The number was 10,720 higher in April 2010, Lynch’s office said.

Lynch announced he signed a bill expanding the New Hampshire Working program, which gives workers who have exhausted jobless benefits a chance to train for six weeks at new jobs. Since the program began a year ago, three of four workers who participated have found jobs.

“The time is right to expand this program as more and more companies are looking to hire,” Lynch said.

More than 200 tips received on boy’s identity SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — The body of the boy, believed to be 4 to 6 years old, was found Saturday on Dennett Road, but no one has come forward to claim him.

In an afternoon news conference, Maine State Police said they have received more than 200 tips but still don’t know who the boy is.

“This is just really bizarre that we’re into day four now, and he’s not reported missing,” said Lt. Brian McDonough.

McDonough said investigators are exploring the possibility that a person associated with a truck seen in the area Saturday morning could be connected with the military. He said the possibility is based on a witness statement that there may have been a naval insignia on and around the license plate.

He said that a military person

might also not have as many ties in the neighborhood, explaining why neighbors might not know that a child was present in the home. Police are checking with local military officials to see if they have any information, McDonough said.

McDonough said police are also planning to submit the boy’s DNA to databases to see if they can come up with a match.

Investigators said they have finished processing the scene where the body was found, and there is no longer need for them to be there, so neighbors have fashioned a memorial to the boy at the site.

Resident Debby Spaulding placed a red rose at the memorial.

“It stands for love,” she said.

“I came down to say a prayer for the little guy,” said resident Dawn Belanger.

‘Commute Green’ urges people to get on their bikes and ride

BY KIMBERLY HOUGHTON THE UNION LEADER

As gas prices continue emptying wallets, New Hampshire residents are being asked to reduce the number of miles traveled on state roads as part of a “Commute Green” initiative.

The challenge? Eliminate 50,000 miles on New Hampshire roadways this week, thereby reducing the need for roughly 100 barrels of crude oil.

Organizers are enthusiastic about the annual Commute Green New Hampshire event, and are optimistic the endeavor will get people to rethink the way they travel to and from work and school.

Gov. John Lynch and Dr. Susan Lynch are expected to kick off the week by bicycling to work this morning.

“Gas prices are through the roof right now, but for me, it doesn’t really make a difference,” said John Pelletier of Dover, who chooses not to own a car. “Being without a car means that I don’t have to worry about insurance, car repairs or gas prices. It saves me a lot of money.”

Pelletier admits he is not the norm, but says commuting with his allweather bicycle is part of his daily routine. The 24-year-old commutes two-and-a-half miles to the Downeaster train station in downtown Dover before taking the train into Massachusetts for his job in Cambridge.

He even shops for groceries with his bike, and can carry up to 50 pounds on his rear bike rack. “It saves me from paying for a gym membership, and I’m less sick because of all the exercise and fresh air,” said Pelletier.

The Commute Green New Hampshire project is encouraging people throughout the state to follow responsible commuting habits like Pelletier’s, and is challenging residents to carpool, walk, bike or take the bus for one week.

Hundreds of bicycle commuters of all abilities are expected to take to the streets from May 16-20 as part of the program, which coincides with the 55th annual National Bike/Walk to Work Day

on May 20. Last year, about 2,000 people participated in the effort to reduce the miles traveled on state roads.

“By reducing 50,000 miles of driving during that one week, commuters could save around $10,000 in gasoline costs. In these challenging economic times, that just makes sense,” said Nicholas Coates, regional planner with the Central New Hampshire Regional Planning Commission.

By decreasing the number of cars on the road, it helps preserve the life of existing roadways, reduces harmful pollutants in the air and keeps New Hampshire’s landscape beautiful, according to Coates.

He is hopeful that hardcore bicyclists throughout the state will take advantage of the challenge and register. Coates is also counting on businesses, organizations and schools throughout New Hampshire to develop teams that can help make a difference and motivate each other to commute green.

“The big picture is to get people thinking about this, and to grab a bike and a helmet rather than their car keys,” said Coates, though he admitted that is not as easy as it sounds.

People still love their cars and are creatures of habit, he said. But for at least one week, he is asking people to adjust those habits for the good of the environment.

Participants can log their miles on the new Commute Green New Hampshire website; individual and team registration began weeks ago and is ongoing. After the final results are tallied, top achievers in a variety of categories will be recognized with certificates and giveaways from shops and restaurants throughout the state.

According to data provided by Commute Green New Hampshire, one car emits about 20 pounds of carbon dioxide per gallon of gasoline it uses, but residents can reduce the equivalent of taking about two cars a year off the road by carpooling, biking, walking or using public transportation three days a week.

Hitting The Debt Ceiling Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geitner, has just informed everyone in the federal government that the country has hit the debt limit and can no longer borrow money to finance government operations. The borrowing limit of 14.3 trillion dollars has been reached and the party is over. While Geitner can keep the wheels of government turning for now through financial maneuvering, the wheels will definitely stop around the beginning of August.

When the Congress returns from recess on Monday the first order of business should be to raise the debt ceiling and get on with the debate over a national budget for 2012.

There are some pretty giant flies in that jar of ointment however. The House of Representatives, now under the control of Republicans, will have to contend with its large Tea Party delegation which would like to do nothing about raising the debt ceiling and let the government struggle along without being able to finance itself by borrowing at low interest rates. The consensus is that, without the guarantee of payment, interest rates would rise substantially because investors would be fearful of greater risk. Since our government has never once in the past failed to raise the debt ceiling, the conclusion given above seems logical. Of course, since we now borrow about 40 cents of every dollar we budget and spend, the cost of government would rise pretty rapidly without raising the debt ceiling.

While it is unlikely the Tea Party people will get their way, the strategy for the rest of the Republicans in the House is still pretty

grim. According to Speaker Baehner, his party will agree to raise the debt ceiling only if the democrats agree too cutting spending severely while not raising any tax rates by a single dollar. This strategy worked in getting the 2011 federal budget passed recently, but it flies in the face of the Democrats including President Obama.

The president has proposed some significant cuts in the 2012 budget but he has also proposed raising the income tax on those making $250.000 and up annually to help bring the budget more in balance. While he has made this proposal in the past and then given it up, he swears he’ll insist on getting the raises enacted this time. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has just proposed seeking the increase for people making a million dollars and up rather than $250,000.

That could be the way this proposal gets passed.

What is clear is, because no one knows just what will happen if no raise in the debt ceiling occurs, it will get done. Chance are it will be a combination of cutting spending with a smaller, but significant, increase in taxes for the very rich. Not to doe anything, as proposed by the Tea Partiers, will most likely not happen this time, but God help us if they become stronger and more numerous in the future.

The battle over the debt ceiling has occurred many times in the past and it will continue in the future until the federal government gets its fiscal house in order. Maybe this time?

The Don’t Think About It Diet In New England, May is our second chance at the New Year’s Resolution to get into shape. As soon as the mercury goes above 45-degrees and the march of the pale legs begins, people start cramming in jumping jacks and eating arugula before beach season strikes.

Sadly, muffin tops don’t respond well to a quickie diet-by-deprivation or by just taking the stairs; they are as stubborn as a toddler who wants cookie dough for breakfast. Our ancient mind reads “I am only eating celery until Labor Day” as “guess there are no more wild boar so I’ll clamp onto every calorie as if it is our last.

We have a long ice age ahead of us.” Biology equals no movement on the scale.

Humans, being the creatures of lazy decadence that we are, do not respond well to being told they can’t have something whether it be nachos or cheap oil. That is why diets that force you to withhold your favorite food ultimately find you hiding in the closet with a bag of M and M’s strapped to your face. Ask me how I know.

However, there is a way to stay in great shape no matter the season and with very little effort.

It is the Don’t Think About It Diet.

The first step is to admit that there is a higher power that is controlling you: The advertising world. If you watch TV, read magazines and smell fast food on every corner, you are set up to fail. Advertisers act like they are your BFF, intimately knowing what you need (coffee, cookies, tequila) to make it through a tough day.

This “come on, you know you want to” atti-

tude is the ultimate peer pressure. They get rich. You get fat. Realize that you have to be in control of your habits. Don’t give any (serious) thought to the ads or smells you encounter.

Next, you have to confront your “mindless eating.” Brian Wansink, director of Cornell’s Food and Brand Lab, wrote “Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.” He finds we make over 200 food-related decisions a day, most of them without even a second of thought.

For example, if there is a bowl of chocolates at work, how many times do you pass that bowl and eat one without even really considering unwrapping it, the explosion of taste during that first bite…do you savor it? No, you shove the whole thing in, gulp, and put more thought into the fax machine. You aren’t even enjoying this experience. It has become a mindless habit.

Try an experiment with your kids. Today, set out a bowl of a typical, unhealthy snack while they are playing or (more likely) watching TV. Their fingers will seek out the food and like robots they will eat the whole bowl without realizing it. The next day, slip them a bowl of grapes. The same thing will happen. They will mindlessly eat the whole thing.

Play these tricks on yourself. Is it better to eat a whole bowl of greasy chips, pretzels or better yet, carrots? If you are so detached from your snacking anyway, might as well be making it healthy. Of course, this means you can’t have the crap in your house. Just don’t buy it. It is easier to walk to the freezer and mindlessly see DIET page 5

Salvation Army’s fundraiser dinner/auction is Thursday To the editor: The Annual Salvation Army Spaghetti Dinner & Auction will be held this Thursday, May 19, at the Corps Building on Cole St. in Berlin. Beginning at 4:30 p.m., people will once again have the opportunity to enjoy great food and have lots of fun bidding on items so generously donated by local businesses.

The Salvation Army is organization that seems to fly under the radar. Working consistently and diligently throughout the year. The Salvation Army is not looking for accolades or fanfare to accompany its good works. Lieutenant Erin Smullen, her volunteers and the advisory board strive to help those in need and better the community.

The Food Pantry, Monday’s Community Meal, After School Program and Camp For Kids are only some of the programs that happen at our local Corps. Needless to say, Christmas is one of the most busy and hectic times at the Salvation Army. Each year, families that may not have a Christmas dinner

on the table or gifts under the tree, are able to celebrate because of what the Salvation Army can do for them. When you buy a ticket for the spaghetti dinner and bid on auction items, you are not only supporting these programs, but you could be helping someone pay their rent, or electric bill or fuel bills.

Our local corps has reopened its thrift store Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering yet another service to those with need. Isn’t it amazing all that one organization can do? The Salvation Army does its job, never looking for a pat on the back or even a thank you. Michael and I have longed admired this organization for living its motto...Heart to God, Hand to Man. We hope to see you Thursday for a great meal (prepared by my favorite chef!) and good fun, all for a very worthy cause. For more information just call 752-1644.

The GHS alpine ski team says thanks to Thanksgivings To the editor, The Gorham High School Alpine Ski Team would like to sent along a big thank you to Jack Piattoni and Thanksgivings Restaurant for the great recognition dinner they recently put on for us. Mr. Piattoni served us a delicious meal and entertained us with a few DIET from page 4

eat sherbet from the carton than to thoughtfully get dressed, find the keys and money, drive to the store and buy some. Chances are, your laziness will override the craving for it.

It is because of this mindless eating that you aren’t at your fighting weight.

You think, “But I don’t eat cheeseburgers all day, I don’t understand why I keep gaining.”

It is the little stuff that ads up — the stuff you don’t notice until you can’t zip your jeans. Just mindlessly consuming an extra 10 calories a day — just three Altoids — will add up to a pound a year.

Jump ahead to nine seemingly innocent Altoids a day five years from now — that is a whopping 15 pounds of fresh breath.

Make baby changes that won’t deprive you. Don’t give up your favorite things — just alter them. Switch from cream to low fat milk in your coffee, only eat half a bagel for breakfast, drop that afternoon soda for flavored seltzer, swap out the candy bowl at work with pistachios. Little changes, only about 140 calories a day, will add up to NOT gaining 14 pounds a year. Wansink says that you can eat 20 percent less a day

stories from when he shared the coaching responsibilities 18 years ago. It is heartwarming to get such support from a local business, and a tribute to Mr. Piattoni’s interest and investment in the local kids and our activities.

With much appreciation.

GHS Alpine Ski Team without noticing it or feeling deprived; he calls it the “mindless margin.” And it is here where that muffin top will melt away.

Final tips for success on Don’t Think About It Diet: don’t eat while multitasking or watching TV. You not only get bombarded with ads for pizza and sweet buns but you are not aware of how much you are eating.

Don’t hide healthy food like your thighs in January. Keep the fresh produce out on the counter where you are most likely to see it and eat it.

Sleep more! You can’t eat if you are sleeping.

If you do want a sweet treat, make it from scratch with your kids. At least you can be in control of what you are putting in the mixing bowl.

And finally, if you have no willpower, you can resort to the Windex Special.

Eat three bites of cake, then spray the rest with Windex. As far as I know, glass cleaner has yet to be marketed as a calorie burner. At least not yet.

LANCASTER— The Coos County Delegation Monday gave its blessing to a plan to lease the county farm and approved the use of funds to maintain the facility without tapping into the budget.

The delegation authorized the creation of a fund for $70,000 worth on investment funds from Agri-Mark that will go towards maintaining the buildings and equipment at the county farm until the county can lease the buildings and absolve the county of maintenance costs. Right now, the county intends to lease the land to Santa’s Tree Farm and sell the equipment, but hasn’t addressed what to do with the buildings.

Rep. J.C. “Duffy” Daugherty, of Colebrook, put forth the motion to support the lease of the farm and wanted to include language to have the leasee cover the costs of taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance for any building or equipment and the farm in order to absolve the county from funding any part of the farm.

Daugherty amended the motion so the county would use the payments from the Agri-Mark investment to maintain the farm until a time where Santa’s Tree Farm is able to take on the additional costs for the operation.

“The motion was a device to make sure there was no cost to the county,” said Rep. John Tholl, of Whitefield.

County Administrator said the $70,000 investment in Agri-Mark, which would be paid out over a five-year period, would go towards maintenance. She added the utilities to the barn are being disconnected, there’s no cost for insurance and the taxes on the buildings are $4,800.

“We have to look at mitigating any cost associated with maintaining that land,” said Collins.

Commissioner Burnham “Bing” Judd said the tree farm wouldn’t have anything to do with the buildings or equipment. He added the equipment is going to be auctioned off, and the commissioner’s haven’t discussed what to do with the buildings.

The commissioner’s have signed a lease with Santa’s Tree Farm for the land, said Collins. She added it’s a five-year lease at $2,500 a year.

“It’s a real positive plan,” said Collins.

David Santamaria, of Santa’s Tree Farm, said he plans to use the land for a corn maze that would serve as a tourist attraction and provide an agriculture-based education programs. He added he feels it’s going to be a huge draw to the area.

Santamaria said the corn maze would be open on the weekends and be open for educational programs during the rest of the week.

But the maze isn’t going to just benefit the tree farm, said Santamaria.

“We’re giving out a slice of the pie to everyone,” said Santamaria. He added he’s approaching the Kiwani’s Club to provide food, seeking sponsors and planning theme weekends that would be hosted by local organizations.

Santamaria said he’d be open to talking with the county about leasing the buildings in the future and paying for the insurance, taxes and utility costs.

Collins said Santamaria’s proposal for the property speaks highly of someone that’s willing to do something creative to revitalize the area.

Stewartstown Selectman Allen Coats said the town is firmly behind Santamaria’s proposal.

“This is really something that’s going to benefit the whole upper Coos,” said Coats.

Gorham Zoning Board grants DeBellis variances

BY CRAIG LYONS THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM— After nearly a year of hearings and appeals, the Gorham Zoning Board granted the variances to allow the owners of a Woodbound Road property to develop the lot.

The board granted three variances for Michael DeBellis’ Woodbound Road property Thursday night by a unanimous vote but placed a number of conditions on the approve that must be met before the property can be occupied.

DeBellis sought three variances: one for the lot size, one for allowing a mobile home and a third to account for the lack of frontage on a public street.

The zoning board attached the Board of Selectmen’s recommendations for conditions on two of the variances.

Along with the variance to account for the lot size, DeBellis must have a survey done of the right of way, which must be recorded; the right of way must be a legal deeded one; and the lot needs a state approved septic and water permit.

With the variance for the lack of frontage, the conditions include that the access to the lot will be treated as a driveway and must meet town standards; DeBellis must sign an agreement and release for building on a private road; DeBellis must acknowledge, in writing, that the right of way is not exclusive; the right of way will not be impeded; and DeBellis will bear the costs of the approval.

Wang's Garden

During the 7th Annual Top 100 Chinese Restaurants in the USA Awards ceremony held in San Francisco in January 2011, Wang's received recognition as one of the Top 100 Chinese Restaurants in USA in the category of "Top 100 Overall Excellence". The restaurant also received the same award three years in a row from 2007 to 2009.

Treat yourself and your family to a superb dining experience at this award winning restaurant. It is among our nation's finest and you will certainly be glad you did! Call 752-3688.

The reason the case became so complicated was because the DeBellis property is located in the former Pellerin subdivison, off of Spring Road, where building has been prohibited because of the small size of the lots and the lack of road frontage.

The board first heard the case in August 2009, but due to several requests for rehearing and continuances the DeBellis case has remained unfinished.

DeBellis said what he plans for the lot is basically replacing dilapidated mobile homes with a new one so he can use the property. He added he plans to maintain the right of way to the property, which sits less than 100 feet off Spring Road, so he and any emergency vehicles can access the lot.

During the meeting, no one attended to speak in favor of or against the variances. The board did receive one letter in opposition to the proposal.

Al Winters said, in his letter, that granting the variances would set a precedent in the town for anyone wanting to develop similar lots.

Board member Wayne Flynn said the board’s decision wouldn’t set a precedent since cases are looked at and handled individually. He added the board’s action depends on the circumstances surrounding each property, so granting DeBellis the variances would set no precedent.

Morrissette celebrates 30 years in business

BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN—Thirty years ago Stephen J. Morrissette, owner of the Morrissette Financial Center in Berlin, started his business out of his house in Dummer Today the business is on Main Street, just above the 12th Street Bridge, it is thriving and Morrissette loves the work as much as he did when he started.

“I’m fortunate,” Morrissette said in a recent interview. “How many guys have a successful business for thirty years and still can say they love it?!”

As the name implies, the Morrissette Financial Center covers the waterfront of financial services, helping people assess their financial needs and then providing routes through which to achieve them. Morrissette is an independent financial advisor, a certified financial planner.

His professors at Boston University might be surprised to learn of his present profession. As a student at BU, Morrissette majored in music. He still plays a mean trumpet and plays in several bands, but after graduating from BU in 1970 and teaching music, first in Maine for two years and then in Berlin/Gorham schools for nine years, Morrissette decided to head in a new direction.

The turning point, he said, was when he bought a house in Dummer in 1976 and got his first property tax bill.

“I couldn’t afford to continue in teaching,” he said.

He took a two-year course at the College for Financial Planning in Denver, graduating in 1984 with his CFP, and became “one of the very few certified financial planners in the country,” he said. “At the time, there were only about 1,000 in the country and there were no other CFPs in the Berlin area. This was before financial planning became popular.”

With the sea change in pensions, “the demise of defined benefit plans,” and the rise of the 401K, some sort of financial planning has become a necessity for even those with the most modest of incomes.

Morrissette points to other changes that were taking place as he developed his business.

“In the ‘80s, the top tax rate was 72 percent,” he said. “Reagan dropped the tax rate and that started the economic binge. There was one crisis after another and the market became even more important. It’s been up and down but in 1980 the S&P (Standard & Poor’s 500 index) was 1,000 and now it’s 12,647—mostly it’s up.”

“What we are finding,” he said, “is that the more the world changes, the more people need financial advice,

especially now that people have to manage their own pensions.”

In 1986 Morrissette moved his growing business from his house in Dummer to a modest office at 1407 Main Street in Berlin and there he has been ever since.

The business keeps growing. Morrissette and his staff of four have local and out-of-state clients.

“We are licensed in a dozen or so states,” Morrissette said, explaining that new clients hear about Morrissette Financial Services by “word of mouth,” rather than advertising, which, he pointed out, is very strictly regulated.

“People spread the word. This is personal stuff, People want to know some one who talked with me,” he said.

Morrissette said that the office is planning to expand its communication ability, but “it’s a nightmare of compliance issues. Even to have a seminar, you have to have the program approved ahead of time.”

In Morrissette’s view, heavy regulation is not helpful and a lack of regulation did not cause the 2008 collapse.

He pointed out that Federal Reserve System chairman Alan Greenspan kept interest rates low during which time derivatives, one of the problems that led to the 2008 financial debacle, exploded.

“Ironically, now they’re telling us that low interest rates will get us out of this mess,” he said. “The reason we will get out is that the American public has faith in the U.S. and will continue to invest.”

The investment market has changed, however.

“It’s a world economy,” he said.

“Over 60 percent of the stocks available are foreign stocks. With all these things facing the investor, he needs an advisor.”

Asked how the helpless would-be investor can judge whether or not he is speaking with an advisor who will steer him in the right direction, Morrissette responds that the odds improve when consulting a certified financial planner.

“They don’t let everyone in,” he said, speaking of the governance of the CFP designation which Morrissette holds. “There’s a 50 percent failure on the test. It’s a tough test. That is the top of the heap.”

He added, “Honesty goes by your reputation.”

“People talk. They get to know me.

We help a lot of people enjoy a better retirement,” he said, adding, “Through LPL, we have access to just about everything out there.”

LPL Financial Services provides a host of services to independent financial advisors like Morrissette, includ-

ing a stock brokerage and access to different types of annuities.

In addition, Morrissette regularly deals with Jackson Life Insurance, of Lansing, MI; and National Integrity Life Insurance Co., of Goshen, NY, both of which offer a variety of annuities.

Over the years Morrissette has accumulated two walls full of awards from these various companies for his sales success.

“What we try to do is customize the investments to meet the client’s needs,” said Morrissette.

His payment is either by fee or commission, depending on what the client would like, he said.

He finds financial planning much more interesting and challenging than teaching. Among other things, he said, with some humor, “You get paid better and the students (the clients) are actually interested in what you have to say.”

“Basically you are trying to figure out what’s coming (on the future economic scene),” he said, noting with some pride that Morrissette Financial Services got its clients out of the stock market before the crash in 2007-8.

“We are constantly monitoring segments (of the economy) that will provide the best returns,” he said.

He noted that he travels often to conferences where leading economic figures speak, in order to stay current with investment trends. This coming year, he will be traveling to Orlando, Chicago, Boston, and San Diego.

“They bring in top people in the financial business—fund managers, economists—and we have access to these guys. This keeps us up to date and helps us calculate where the economy is going to go. You get different opinions and we come up with our own analyses. Everyone has his own agenda. We figure how that matches our clients’ agendas,” he said.

“I love the business,” he said, “every single minute of it. It’s one of the most rewarding jobs I could imagine and one of the most stressful. Millions of dollars of other people’s money is resting on my recommendations, but the beauty of owning your own business, is that you can make it as good as you want to make it.”

Morrissette has no plan to retire, but he can assure clients that there is see MORRISSETTE page 9

When Rancloes, Parker and Flanders exited the car, the affidavits state, that Arsenault opened fire.

“Mr. Arsenault stated that he aimed for their bodies, although he said he was only trying to maim them,” read the documents.

Rancloes and Parker then ran from the area, and Flanders got back into the car, according to Arsenault’s statements. The documents add that Arsenault walked past Flanders in the car and he was still breathing after being shot.

Arsenault denied knowing how the fire in the car, which contributed to Flanders’ death, started.

The documents state that Max Shultz, district chief of the State Fire Marshal’s Office, inspected the scene around the burnt-out vehicle.

Upon his examination, the affidavits state that Shultz found no evidence the fire was accidental.

We enjoyed being part of the “Give with Your Heart” event and supporting the Child Advocacy Center of Coos County. The customers in our community are very generous and we want to thank them for helping us to support the Child Advocacy Center of Coos County,” continued Ben Brochu.

The Child Advocacy Center of Coos County (CAC-CC) is a community partnership dedicated to the investigation, prosecution and treatment of child victims of crime. Built upon a nationally recognized model, the CAC-CC provides a coordinated approach to child abuse investigations, empowers families to protect their children and seeks justice from those who commit crimes against children. The CAC-CC works closely

at his Baker Drive house.

“Mr. Arsenault then said that this was premeditated, he was sick of it, ‘they kept stealing from my girlfriend and blaming me, I would leave for work and they would rip me off’,” read the affidavit describing Arsenault’s reported statements to police.

“Mr. Arsenault said that ‘talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words,’” according to the documents.

“He also said, ‘no one is going to mess with me anymore, the junkies are running now.’”

Arsenault allegedly arranged for Rancloes to buy Suboxone from his girlfriend prior to the shooting. While Rancloes, Parker and Flanders drove to Arsenault’s house, he prepared to shoot them.

After retrieving the shotgun, grabbing three slugs and a buck shot round, Arsenault reportedly set up in a storage shed, placed the gun barrel

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll have luck with joint ventures.

You trust the other person, but you both need to understand exactly what you’re agreeing upon. Put the details on paper.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’re not trying to be anyone else, and yet you’ll notice that you’ve picked up a few habits from those you admire.

Soon these behaviors will be so automatic that they’ll feel like a natural part of you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your imagination is vivid. The lines between what is real and unreal are blurred.

Also, you’ll give a great deal of thought to planes of existence beyond physical reality.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re trying to do a job well, though it’s not as easy as you once thought it would be. Stop trying to be good at it. Try to be bad at it instead. The freedom will liberate you from mental blocks.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 18).

You’ll enjoy improved health and vitality as you moderate your vices and add zesty habits to your routine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll slip into a positive state this morning and stay there all day long. While in this happy mood, every problem has a solution, and you are a bubbling font of creativity.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The task at hand will be unusually challenging. It doesn’t all have to be accomplished in one day, though. Perhaps this is best approached with short blasts of intense focus followed by long breaks LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You might be feeling underwhelmed by the results you’ve been getting from yourself lately. You know that you are capable of greater things. Practice is key. Be diligent.

INVITATION TO LINGERIE PARTY BRINGS BLUSH TO HESITANT GUEST

DEAR ABBY: I’m a senior in high school and about to graduate. The week after graduation, one of my close friends is getting married. I have no qualms about the marriage, but I’m confused about the pre-wedding parties.

The bride and groom are registered at three stores and have had a Tupperware party already. However, I have received an invitation to a lingerie party to which guests have been instructed to bring the bride lingerie with gift receipts attached.

Am I wrong in thinking that buying intimate apparel is the responsibility of the couple? I plan to buy them a wedding gift from the registry, but I feel odd being asked to essentially contribute to their sex life. Abby, if I decline the invitation, what would be the proper way to do it? -- BRINGING A BLENDER IN MONTANA DEAR B.A.B.: If you are unable to attend the shower, all you need to say is you’re unavailable on that date. You do not have to give a reason. However, lingerie showers can be a fun way for women to bond with each other. I once attended one at which a guest jokingly brought the bride a pair of handcuffs. (In Montana, a set of spurs might make an interesting gag gift.)

However, if you prefer not to “contribute to the couple’s sex life,” why not bring a high-necked flannel nightgown?

Your gift could be the talk of the party.

Readers, care to offer any other gift suggestions?

DEAR ABBY: I represent Operation Paperback: Recycled Reading for the Troops. Our 10,000 volunteers, at their own expense, collect gently used paperback books and send them to military members and organizations deployed all over the world.

Since 1999, we have sent over a million books and have received thanks from Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Germany, ships at sea, and dozens of places on the globe where our military serves.

Because units are continually being deployed, reassigned and recalled, we struggle to maintain current address lists.

We would appreciate the assistance of your forum in spreading the word to service members and their families that they need only to go to operationpaperback.org to register, and we will see to it that they have quality reading material to provide an escape from their day-to-day trials. Thank you for your help. -- DAN BOWERS, RED LION, PA. DEAR DAN: What a wonderful offer. But be careful what you wish for, because Dear Abby readers are the most generous and patriotic people in the world!

DEAR ABBY: My stepdaughter came and cleaned our house when my wife -- her mother -- was ill. I appreciated her efforts, until I noticed she had put the toilet brush in the dishwasher with the dishes. I quietly removed it.

Am I overreacting because I no longer want to eat at her house? This made me extremely uncomfortable because most of our family gatherings are at her house. -- TURNED OFF IN TEXAS DEAR TURNED OFF: Ew! Had I been in your position, when I saw what she had done, I’d have hit high C. And I wouldn’t have been subtle about removing the toilet brush from the dishwasher. What a gross lapse of judgment. I wouldn’t want to eat at her house either, and I’d let my spouse know exactly why. (Please tell me your stepdaughter didn’t learn this from her mother.)

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

Berlin baseball wins five straight games to move to 10-2 ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- BERLIN 10 WHITE MOUNTAIN 0 Seniors Eligah Hawkins and Bryar King combined to throw a four hitter, helping the Mountaineers to a 10-0 victory over White Mountain Regional.

Hawkins threw the first four innings in earning the victory. King came in to throw the final two. The duo combined to strike out five and walked just three between the two of them.

The Berlin bats swatted out nine hits and were the recipients of 10 free passes doled out by three Spartan pitchers. Junior Curtis Arsenault went three for four. Senior Eric Godin was two for three including four RBIs and team mate Ryan Fortin swatted out two hits to help pace the offense.

Franklin appeared ready to rough up King in the top of the first inning.

A walk, a single, and a double, plated a run and had runners on second and third base and no one out. The senior righty bore down and got the next three batters on a pop out and two strikeouts to keep the Berlin deficit to just one run.

A walk, fielder’s choice, and an Arsenault double, had Berlin ready to strike back. King decided to help his own cause by crunching a three run homer to left to put the home team on top at 3-1.

The Tornadoes scored a single run in the top of the fourth inning, while the Mounties got a single run in the botton of the second inning to make it a final score 4-2. In the bottom of the second inning, Alec Jones doubled and scam-

pered into third base on a wild pitch.

Berlin catcher Zach Donaldson plated Jones on an RBI ground out.

Arsenault came in to close the door for Berlin, by throwing three innings of scoreless relief. The Mounties had three sparkling defensive gems during the game. Outfielder’s Jones and Ryan Richard got the job done utilizing a diving and shoe string catch. King made a fielding gem at short stop on a hard hit ball in the seventh inning.

Curtis Arsenault had three hits, Zach Bacon two hits and two RBIs, Byar King three hits including a double and a triple, Eric Godin continues to pile up the RBIs adding another pair to go along with two hits, and senior Alec Jones had a double and two RBIs. On the mound, Arsenault hurled the first two innings to earn the win.

Mounties Stephenson and Michalik lost by a score of 5-8 to Bolton and Boucher, Perreault and Baillargeon went down to Profile’s Kelley and Ocasio 2-8, and Mounties Giannos and Droiun defeated Travis Greenlaw and Will Shillreto 8-2.

After the match, Berlin head coach Andy Rancloes, spoke about the contest. “Jake and Dimitri continue to do very well. They are both very competitive. Zach Stephenson and Jeremy played very well. Jeremy had so long rallies with his opponent. We need to try to hit the ball deep and rush the net at the right time”.

Gauthier silences Littleton bats, Huskies rough-up Crusaders, 12-0

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

LITTLETON -- Junior left-hander, Cody Gauthier, limited Littleton to just three hits and his teammates gave him plenty of run support, giving Gorham a 12-0 victory over the Crusaders in Littleton Wednesday.

Gorham finally got themselves on the board in a big way in the top of the third inning. Senior designated hitter, Bobby Langlands earned a free pass. Brandon Sanschagrin followed with a 350 foot triple to right centerfield. Pat Pike doubled, Doug Willey reached on an error, Cody LeBlanc had an RBI single, Chabot was hit by a pitch, and Gauthier singled to make it 4-0 Gorham.

The Huskies put the game out of reach in the top of the fourth inning.

Langlands doubled, Sanschagrin doubled, and Pike singled to get some movement on the base paths for the visiting Huskies. LeBlanc walked, Chabot doubled, and Gauthier doubled for the 9-0 score.

Defensively, Gauthier was in control on the mound, never facing more than four batters in an inning. The junior pitcher walked just one batter and struck out five Crusader hitters.

The visiting Huskies plated three additional runs in the fifth inning.

Langlands was again the player to get things started by walking for the second time in the game. Sanschagrin ripped his fourth hit of the contest, Pike walked and Willey had an infield hit to load the bases. LeBlanc had an RBI fielder’s choice and when Hunter Lambertson singled to drive in a run, Gorham held a 12-0 advantage.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Gorham defense turned a double play and Gauthier finished the inning with a strikeout, earning the five inning shut-out.

“We finally strung some hits together today,” said Gorham assistant coach Pete Girouard. “Cody Gauthier threw the ball very well and we made some nice defensive plays behind him. see GAUTHIER page 17

LITTLETON -- The Berlin boy’s tennis team defeated the Littleton Crusaders 6-1 in a boy’s Division III tenis match in Littleton recently.

The singles competition determined the out come, because rain came and did not allow the finish of the final two doubles games. #1 seed Zach Stephenson defeated Littleton’s Manuel Sosa 8-6, senior Jeremy Michalik rolled past Spencer Barss 8-3, third seeded Zach Perreault was beaten by Sean Mackay 6-8, Mountie Tyler Baillargeon fought off Avery Hastings 8-6, the BERLIN from page 15

and five runs scored from Curtis Arsenault, senior Bryar King was three for three including three RBIs, clean-up hitter, Eric Godin, went four for four and four RBIs, Eligah Hawkins three RBIs and Zach Donaldson a double and two RBIs. The Berlin bats beat up three Bear pitchers. Zach Derochers, Noah Merrill, and Sean Downs for the 23 markers.

Berlin used four pitchers including two innings from King, and one each from Hawkins, Bacon, and Matt MacArthur.

“It was a beautiful day to play some baseball,” said Berlin coach Dan Brigham. “The kids continue to get better every time they come out onto the field.”

The Mounties will face the Bears again on Saturday.

BERLIN 12 NEWFOUND 2 Berlin’s Jeff O’Neil made his first varsity hit a memorable one, lining a game ending two RBI liner to close out the game 12-2 over the Newfound Bears Saturday.

The Mounties had thumped Newfound just a few days prior by a score of 23-0. This time, Newfound was determined to go the full seven innings. However, O’Neil had other ideas and ended the game in the bottom of the sixth inning.

The Bears nicked up Mountie starter Ryan Fortin for single runs in the first and second innings. Fortin went four innings and got help from Eligah Hawkins and Bryar King to finish out the contest. The trio of pitchers gave up seven hits, walked four, and struck out eight Bear batters.

The Newfound staff of freshman Dahlton Fairbank and Ryan Ordway allowed 12 hits in the contest. The duo walked six hitters and set down five on strikes. The Bear defense was suspect at times, giving up five errors during the contest.

The Berlin offense continues to pile up hits and runs scored. Getting two hits each for the Mountaineers included Curtis Arsenault, King, Hawkins, Zach Donaldson, and of course the bug game ending safety by O’Neil.

The win was the third win in three days for Gorham. The Huskies finish the week by traveling to Colebrook

Gorham Rec. Dept. helps out Berlin tennis teams GORHAM -- Berlin Athletic director, Craig Melanson, and the Berlin High School tennis teams, wanted to thank Jeff Stewart anf the Gorham Recreation Department this spring.

“We just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to Jeff Stewart and the Gorham Recreation and Parks Department,” said Melanson. “They have accommodated the Berlin High School Girls and Boys Tennis Teams this past season. Jeff helped our teams by letting us use the Gorham Common Tennis Courts. With all

of the rain that we received this past spring, it made it very difficult to use our courts in Berlin due to their conditions. When I called Jeff to see if there was any chance of letting us use the courts, whether for practices or matches he accommodated us without any questions.

We cannot thank you enough and want you to know it is much appreciated. On behalf of Berlin High School, it’s Athletic Department, players, and coaches we say THANK YOU for your help during our tennis season.”

3. Quinn Morrissette and Cameron Patry beat Calvin Fittfieldand Law 8-4.

“Moultonborough is a young team, so it was a great day to get some of my future players some court time,” said coach Andy Rancloes. “John Berthiaume played his first singles match at number 6. He stepped up and performed very nicely. Jake and Dimirti got a step up in number two doubles, this is great experience for next year because number one doubles is much harder than number three doubles. Quinn and Cameron got some valuable court time in number three doubles. It was a great day for me to really see what I have for next year. Zach Stephenson played a great match at number one. They battled back and forth with Zach breaking Matt at the 5-5 mark. He played well and smart. Zach Perrault was out sick (that is why everyone moved up).

FUNDING from page one

A majority of the project would be protected under a conservation easement. Plum Creek would retain ownership of 22,845 acres but would sell an easement prohibiting future development of the land. The property would remain in timber production under Sustainable Forestry Initiative certification standards.

Public access to the land for snowmobiling and hunting would continue.

About a quarter of the total acreage would be purchased outright. Most would go into the Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge but N.H. Fish and Game would obtain 938 acres containing Greenough Pond and Little Greenough Pond. Considered the ‘jewels’ of the project, the ponds represent two of three self sustaining non-stocked wild trout ponds in the state. The land also contains about four miles of water frontage that local officials feared would be sold into as many as 150 camp lots.

“I was really proud of my guys,” said Coach Rancloes.

“We lost to them 3-6 a few weeks ago and they were missing a few of their players and today we pushed them with their entire lineup. We got what we wanted it was 3-3 going into doubles and like I always say it will come down in doubles. Number 1 and Number 3 doubles finished and we were all watching number two doubles. It was an awesome match.

I’m really proud of Jeremy. He lost 6-8 a few weeks ago and won today 8-3. He has turned into a great tennis player. Jake and Dimirti continue their winning way.

They are getting some great court time for next year.

They are a great doubles team. Profile is deep. They are all juniors and they play really hard. They will be the team to beat next year and if my guys can continue to push them I will be very happy!”

drive of New Hampshire’s North Country forests, the importance of these lands to the tourism sector of our economy cannot be overstated.”

J.T. Horn, of the Trust for Public Lands, said his organization is confident its application for $4.1 million in federal Forest Legacy funds has also been successful.

Those funds will be used to purchase an easement on 10,2078 acres of working forest land.

The easement would be held by the state of New Hampshire and overseen by the Division of Forest and Lands. Plum Creek will retain ownership of the land.

Horn called the success of the two funding requests a “big milestone” for the project but noted there is still a lot of work to do.

In total, the Androscoggin Headwaters Conservation Project seeks to protect over 31,000 acres of forest land at a cost of $19.3 million.
