BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- Public Service of N.H. yesterday filed a revised Power Purchase Agreement with the N.H Public Utilities Commission for the proposed Laidlaw/Berlin Station biomass plant.

In its cover letter PSNH noted the agency approved the original PPA on the condition the utility file a revised version complying with terms set forth in the PUC order within 30 days. PSNH said the revised PPA complies with the terms set forth in the order.

“The construction and operation of Berlin Station will create jobs - both direct and indirect - and we expect it to provide a real boost to the North Country economy,” noted PSNH Spokesman Martin Murray. “Moreover, the energy that the plant generates will help us meet the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standards and move New Hampshire closer to its goal of 25 percent renewable energy by the year 2025.”

Murray said the changes in the agreement reflect the conditions set by regulators, in order to reduce

Suitable buildings needed for economic development

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- A lack of suitable industrial building space is hampering economic development efforts in Coos County.

The topic was the subject of a special meeting of the Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority yesterday.

Beno Lamontagne, who covers the North Country for the state Department of Resources and Economic Development, told the authority he recently had a Canadian company seriously interested in setting up operations in the United States. He said the prospect was looking for a move-in ready building with 35,000 square feet of space, and 18-foot high ceilings.

The company wanted to be close to the Canadian

border. Lamontagne said he scrambled to come up with potential buildings in Coos County and found two to show. One was the building in Colebrook that was the site of an explosion last year. The other was the former Wausau mill site in Groveton that has been gutted. He said neither site met the customer’s needs.

about applying for $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds that would go towards the organizations intentions to convert the former school building into low-income and senior housing.

The commissioners unanimously approved applying for the funds.

There’s no cost to the county associated with the

grant application.

Commissioner Paul Grenier said he had no reason to oppose the grant application. He added if they get the grant, it would be great to see the building redeveloped, but if they don’t get the grant, they haven’t lost anything.

Holdouts wait out flood at bar EAGLE LAKE, Miss. (NY Times) — If you need to get ahold of somebody here, this is how.

Go to the end of town and take a right. Then take another right. There on the lakefront sits a low metal building, as impressive as a storage shed.

This is Strick’s, as the hand-drawn sign above the front door will tell you. It is the only business still open in Eagle Lake. And starting at 2 o’clock every afternoon and running into the evening, every person in town can be found here. All 15 of them.

While the population of Eagle Lake normally numbers in the hundreds, these few, these happy few, are all that remain. They are the holdouts after a townwide exodus, prompted by concerns over the fat and ferocious Mississippi River, which runs just on the other side of the lake.

Every night they sit in this mostly empty bar, throwing back some beers and eating a communal dinner of hamburgers or crawfish or whatever was brought in by the last person to visit a grocery store.

They tell stories, watch television and talk about any number of things, but usually about the latest measurements of the river, the state of the levees on which they depend for survival and their disappointment in the less hardy souls who took off at the first hint of danger.

I.M.F. case puts focus on special victims squad

(NY Times) — In some ways, last weekend was not especially remarkable for the New York Police Department’s Special Victims Squad. About 30 new cases came in, typical for the citywide unit of 190 specially trained investigators and supervisors.

But of those cases — among the 6,000 sexbased cases that the squad handles each year — none carried the notoriety of the one that accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, of sexually attacking a

housekeeper at a Manhattan hotel.

For some, the arrest of Strauss-Kahn, who was taken into custody aboard an Air France jet at Kennedy International Airport, drew comparisons to television shows like “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”

The real-life detectives of the Special Victims Squad do not solve their cases in the span of an hourlong television show; their work is done more deliberately.

“The people who work in this field are dedicated to it, but I don’t think any one of

U.S. imposes sanctions on Syrian leader and six aides WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama imposed sanctions on Syria’s leader, President Bashar al-Assad, and six other senior Syrian officials on Wednesday, ratcheting up American pressure in the wake of a bloody crackdown on political protests in the country.

Mr. Obama’s executive order — along with additional sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department against Syrian and Iranian intelligence services and commanders — reflected the grow-

ing American frustration that Mr. Assad’s government was not heeding international condemnation and seeking a peaceful resolution to the popular uprising in the country.

Until now, Mr. Obama had adopted a much more measured and cautious approach than he did in Libya in hopes, officials said, that Mr. Assad would respond to international pressure. The administration clearly concluded that approach was not working.

Though the move may prove

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said on Wednesday that while he surmised that “somebody” inside Pakistan was aware that Osama bin Laden was hiding in a compound in the Pakistani garrison town of Abbottabad, there was no evidence so far that anyone in the country’s senior leadership was in on the secret.

“My supposition is, somebody knew,” Mr. Gates said at a Pentagon news conference with Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Beyond that, he said, the Obama administration, which has repeatedly said that Bin Laden seemed to have a “support network” in hiding, had little information.

“We don’t know whether it was retired people, whether it was low level — pure supposition on our part,” Mr. Gates said. “It’s hard to go to them with an accusation when we have no proof that anybody knew.”

Some of their cases are well-known: the so-called preppie murder, the Central Park jogger rape, the rape and murder of Imette St. Guillen by a SoHo bar bouncer. Others are not nearly as celebrated; last weekend, in the midst of the Strauss-Kahn case, the city’s special victims detectives swung around the five boroughs, absorbing the accounts of victims of all ages.

Conway students explore healthy food options

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 19, 2011— Page 3

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Students at Kennett High School got a taste of some healthy breakfast and lunch alternatives Wednesday, and they liked them.

The Kennett High student council held a healthy foods tasting during lunch hours, allowing fellow Eagles the opportunity to sample a number of different offerings from current school vendors Sysco, U.S. Foodservice and PFG Northcenter and then rate the items. Some of the most popular will appear on future breakfast and lunch menus in the school cafeteria as early as next month.

"It turned out quite well," junior Thomas Gregston, treasurer for the student council, said. "We'd been working on this for a number of months. We want to make healthier options available for everyone."

Students had the opportunity to try wheat dough pizza; multi-grain dough pizza; chicken sausage; Greek flavored Stoneyfield yogurt; organic yogurt; a breakfast sandwich featuring egg whites, veggies, turkey bacon on a wheat muffin; vitamin fortified doughnuts; apple slices; three different types of breakfast bars — whole grain, ultimate and bar oatmeal cinnamon; and whole wheat pasta.

"The whole idea is to give kids healthy food options," Tom Murphy, the head cook at Kennett High, said.

"These are things they don't necessar-

ily get a chance to taste at home. We've got some prime options for them to try. All of our vendors have been wonderful, they've really embraced what we're trying to do."

After sampling, the students headed to the rear of the cafeteria where they could vote on their favorites. Technology teacher Dan Mac Leon set up nine laptop computers where students could fill in the brief survey, rating the items they sampled. An hour into the tastings, pizza was holding steady as a favorite with 54 percent of the Eagles.

"The best part is it's free food," Mac Leon said, smiling, while enjoying a Greek yogurt. He also gave the chicken sausage a positive review.

"We want everyone to pick what they like," Murphy said. "If things work out we could see some of these items next month and definitely next year for sure."

Gregston and classmates Nisha Kondrat, Laura Jensen, Silas Bernier and Philip Mathieu spent the past few months meeting every Thursday from 7:15 to 8 a.m. with Murphy, school nurse Donna Barletta and principal Neal Moylan to bring the tasting to fruition.

"It took quite a bit of work to bring it all together," Gregston said. "Tom from the kitchen contacted the vendors and they were willing to help us pull it off. Now with the data we collect we'll try to bring these ideas into the cafeteria."

Kennett High School students try out some healthy choices during lunch at school Wednesday. The student body council gathered some food and vendors and asked kids to give their opinions in an effort to bring more healthy choices for students in the years to come. (JMAIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

N.H. journalist released by Libyan government

BY PAUL FEELY THE UNION LEADER

James Foley, a New Hampshire native and Bostonbased journalist held captive by the Libyan government for more than a month, was among four journalists released today and taken to a hotel in Tripoli.

Broadcast reports state Foley, a Rochester native working for GlobalPost, along with Clare Morgana Gillis, a freelance journalist for The Atlantic and USA Today, Spanish photographer Manu Brabo, and British journalist Nigel Chandler are all currently at the Rixos

Hotel, a housing area for foreign journalists assigned to Tripoli, one day after the Libyan government announced it was giving them a one-year suspended sentence on charges of illegally entering the country.

Broadcast news organizations are reporting that Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim told the four journalists they were welcome to stay in Libya, but stated they would be taken to the Tunisian border to leave the country if they so desired.

Foley was held for more than six weeks by the Libyan government. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) expressed relief that Foley was freed.

“I am tremendously relieved and overjoyed to hear that James Foley has been released from his imprisonment in Libya and can return home to reunite with his family and friends,” Shaheen said in a prepared statement. “Since James went missing in April, there has been an outpouring of support for him throughout the world. As a mother of three myself, I can only imagine the anxiety and pain his loved ones have endured. I am glad that James’ family, friends, colleagues, and classmates, all have something to celebrate today and we eagerly await word that he is on his way home.”

Mass. media reports Texas woman confessed to killing son

BY JASON SCHREIBER AND CLYNTON NAMUO THE UNION LEADER

ALFRED, Maine — Authorities say they’re questioning a woman in connection with the case of a young unidentified boy whose body was found alongside a dirt road in South Berwick on Saturday.

The woman was reportedly taken into protective custody at a rest stop along Interstate 495 in Chelmsford, Mass., Wednesday morning.

Massachusetts State Police described the woman as a “person of

interest” believed to be related to the Maine investigation, but WHDH-TV reported that it was told by several sources that the woman was from Irving, Texas, and is the boy’s mother.

The woman is reportedly being questioned at the Massachusetts State Police barracks in Concord, Mass., where investigators from Maine State Police are also on hand.

A Toyota Tacoma similar to the one described by Maine State Police as the vehicle possibly seen in the area of where the boy was found Saturday also was reportedly taken from the

rest stop by authorities.

Maine State Police held a brief news conference earlier in the afternoon but offered little new information, saying they could no longer comment on the case and that further questions would be referred to the Maine Attorney General’s Office; the agency handles homicide investigations.

Police have described the boy as 3-foot-8, weighing 45 pounds. Police said the boy was wearing a “Faded Glory” brand gray camouflage hooded sweatshirt, tan-colored khaki pants and a navy blue T-shirt with the word

“Aviator” and a small plane emblazoned on front. He also had on “Lightning McQueen” black sneakers, from the movie Cars. He has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Police said Tuesday they believe someone from the military, particularly the Navy, may be involved in the case.

A navy blue Toyota Tacoma pickup with an extended cab and a full cap over the bed, seen in the immediate vicinity of the boy’s body hours before he was discovered, had a U.S. Navy insignia on or near its license plate, Lt. Brian McDonough said.

AV Home Care yard sale was a success To the editor: Thank you so much to all of the people who made the A V Home Care Services’ 9th annual yard and bake sale such a success! From those who contributed baked goods to the staff who worked the deals on the actual sale day, to those who attended and purchased all of our donated treasures, many friends and supporters assured that our annual event was efficiently and festively done.

The monies netted from this fundraiser go toward “Dorothy’s Gift,” the charitable fund born of the few extra dollars sent to us by a grateful home care client.

Every month, Dorothy sent that money knowing that we would use it to help someone else get the bath care,

or housecleaning or errands that they needed just as she did. With thiss mall investment, we have built a loyal following of people who believe that there is true power in a little, done by many, over a long time. Such faith does change our world, right before our eyes!

If you would like to help in the spirit of Dorothy, please send your donation to “Dorothy’s Gift,” c/o A. V. Home Care Services, 795 Main Street, Berlin, NH 03570, or go to her website: www.dorothysgift.org.

Someone who has no one to help them in their homes and/or no money to pay for this help just said, “Thank you” and so do we!

We need to put an end to high speed chases To the editor: This letter is in response to the front page article dated May 17. “Berlin man arrested following pursuit”.

I witnessed this “chase” in horror, being a resident of one of the many streets involved in this reckless pursuit.

It is a miracle no one was injured. Bad judgment on behalf of the intoxicated driver should not be compounded with an additional two police cruisers, “hot on his trail”, racing through our narrow, winding, slippery streets since it had been raining the entire evening.

I do not claim to have all of the answers, but I do know that I have seen incidents like this much too often and each time, I cringe at the thought of what could become a disaster to innocent by-standers.

Let’s be reasonable and finally put an end to this risk and potentially deadly practice. It could save multiple lives.

What do you think?

Express your opinion. It could make a huge difference.

Concerned citizen.

Once Upon a Berlin Time

45 Years Of Progress

Hello fellow Berlinites. I wrote a story about the progress of Berlin many years ago and would like to expand on it with a history that I found in an old illustrated edition of Berlin in 1913. It talks of Berlin’s progress from the 1870s to the mid-teens of the 1900s and it is a great source of local history.

Although we have lost most of the things that made this city famous over one hundred years ago, Berlin, although struggling in 2011 is hopefully ready to move on again.

In the early 1900s, most everybody in the country had heard about this thriving community. It was more widely known than many cities twice its size. Way back in its distant past it was famous as a summer resort and was known as Berlin Falls. Still further back it was Maynesboro, then a mere hamlet.

The citizens of one hundred years ago did not like to dwell on the past. They always wanted to move ahead.

The world was moving fast and it was only by hustling that one could keep pace with the times. Let it be said here that the residents of this booming community, one of the largest on the Androscoggin River at the time, were of the hustling kind.

To be sure, Berlin’s growth back then was made possible by the industry of its early settlers, who believed that Berlin had a future and they were not misinformed. The same hustle and enthusiasm of the past was being daily exemplified by its businessmen of today (1913). They were all working with one aim to make the city a bigger, better and busier municipality.

Way back in the early 1870s, Berlin Falls boasted of one small sawmill, a shingle mill, Lewis T. Brown a grist mill, a blacksmith shop, a depot and that was it. From that period on, Berlin took on a new lease in life. Manufacturers became interested in the many natural and undeveloped resources of the town of Berlin and fully realized that the great river furnished an unusual opportunity for the transportation of raw material from the many square miles of virgin forest lands to the North.

Among the first industries were the pulp mills of the Forest Fibre Company, built for the manufacture of soda pulp. They were known as Mill A and Mill B, constructed in 1878 and 1880 respectfully.

Henry H. Furbish, of whom I have written, was the founder of this company and to his pluck and perseverance; Berlin owes much for the early activities of this town. His mills were successful for about twenty years, but in the late 1890s, went out of existence and were razed to give way to other pulp companies with a more modern process. This newer process made a product which was just as good but at a lesser price.

The city of Berlin though, is also indebted for a large part of its life to William and Lewis Brown, as it W. W. Brown was they who took over the first sawmill and under their management, this mill increased in size with great rapidity. The mills expanded, doing a thriving business and proved to be the nucleus of the largest industries in Berlin in the early 1900’s. They made rough and finished lumber, along with pulp and paper in large quantities.

After the sawmill of the Browns and the paper mills of Furbish, Berlin saw the beginning of the Glen Manufacturing Company, which developed the unharvested power at the “Falls”. This area is now (2011) the Public Service of New Hampshire park on the Tondreau Peninsula. The Glen mills were built in the mid 1880’s and continued under the management of the founders of the company until taken over by the great International Paper Company, in 1898. Their mills in this city were considered to be among the largest in America.

The waters of the Androscoggin, as they tumbled and eddied over the many rocks, proved an unusual attraction for tourists.

Interesting as they were from a scenic point of view, they proved still more attractive to see PROGRESS page 5

the manufacturer. No place in New England could furnish such power at so small expense of development and little time was lost in securing the privileges.

A great amount that was needed for these mills was owned by Daniel Green; one of Berlin’s oldest settlers and many suitable offers were made to him for this ground. These offers were even more than Green had expected, so he accepted at once.

Since the building of the first large mills, the waters of Androscoggin also backed large dams; huge penstocks were built and by the 1900s thousands of wheels were turning out many products, twentyfour hours a day that were shipped to the four points of the compass.

These products were of a class that was in demand 365 days of the year and as a result, the workers of these great establishments were given constant employment. Statistics gathered from many manufacturing centers showed that the average weekly wage of the laborer in Berlin was much more than the average wage in the majority of New England and Eastern cities.

The thrift of the employees of Berlin’s manufacturing plants was exemplified by the large number of homes owned by them.

Between 1870 and 1915, Berlin was not content at lying dormant and its population showed a steady increase each year. Back then, Berlin was one of the youngest cities in the state, but it was becoming one of the largest. It was confidently expected that the 14,000 citizens of 1915 would even grow larger and it did.

After forty-five years of development, Berlin still had much water power that was undeveloped. The Board of Trade was using its best endeavors to invite businesses, large or small. We had excellent shipping facilities to include the Boston and Maine and the Grand Trunk railroads that had an immense track system, with spurs to all mills.

Back in its early days, Berlin had every advantage of metropolitan places. The schools, churches, public libraries and social life of this city were conducted on the highest planes and were in many cases superior to those that could be found elsewhere. It was for these reasons that the citizens loved this city and had faith in it. They were ready and willing to work for the

best interests of Berlin and they did. Berlin was still sure to become even a greater power in the business world.

Between the Berlin of the 1870s and the Berlin of around the mid teens of 1900, there was a well formed line of demarcation.

Now back to the man who was considered the “Father of Berlin”.

In the memory of the older citizens who were still alive when this was written, there were only three houses between Berlin Mills and the Post Office on the “Square”. One of these was still standing at this time and it was the Wilson House and that would be in the vicinity of today’s (2011) T-Birds restaurant.

The change from rural to urban conditions began when Mr. H. H. Furbish came to this town in 1878, attracted by the abundance of water power and the plentitude of timber, adapted to the manufacture of paper.

For many years, the scientists of the world had sought a practical means of making paper from wood and as early as 1848, George Burgess had succeeded on producing paper in England, but this was at an exorbitant cost.

Mr. Furbish began experimenting about 1870 or just a bit later and soon mastered the subject, acquiring a formula which soon revolutionized the paper industry.

When he came to Berlin, all he had was a formula along with his strength and energy. In a short time he succeeded in interesting sufficient capital to build the “Forest Fiber Company”, which operated to its ultimate capacity and turned out five tons of pulp per day. This was the beginning of the paper industry that made Berlin the leading paper city of the world back then.

From the first moment of the success of Furbish’s plant, Berlin emerged from its former insignificant place on the map of the world and became the leader in the industry which made it known wherever paper was used. The industrial history of the world underwent a sudden change and Berlin was the pivotal point on which the turn was made.

I will continue with the progress and early history of Berlin in my next writing.

Mill City Revival Band to perform at St. Kieran Arts Center BERLIN -- Are you ready to Rock and Roll? Come out to enjoy the Mill City Revival Band performing songs and music of the 50s, 60s and 70s St. Kieran Community Center for the Arts on Friday, May 20, at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $12 adults, $6 for students and are available at the door.

The Mill City Revival Band began performing songs from the 50s, 60s and 70s because they felt that there was a void in bands who were keeping the music of those decades alive—and they still all enjoy getting together and sharing the music with others. They always select a wide range of songs and styles that showcase the multi-talents of the band members, especially songs that feature the Horn Section. The band’s home base is Lowell, Massachusetts, which has long been known as the “Mill City”.

Carl Antifonario, a professional woodwind specialist who has toured with the United States Air Force Southern Command Band, formed the Mill City Revival Band four years ago with a great nucleus of experienced musicians and then added some great young horn players from the Berkley College School of Music. Utilizing horns as well as great vocals make this band stand out from the many oldies bands throughout New England. Combined with great showmanship and their fun way of interacting with audiences young and old, Mill City Revival Band brings a party atmosphere to the house, wherever they go.

The band boasts some of the best musicians and entertainers from the New England area including lead singer, Michael Anthony has been fronting bands for 20 years and has toured the New England area with his Neil Diamond Tribute Show.

Henry Ricard, drummer and singer, is a show by himself, who when performing, will sing lead, stand up and play drums all at the same time.

Lead guitar and singer, Jimmy Mer-

school building into senior housing after both the previous developers and Catholic Charities backed out of the project.

The previous developers, Dana Willis and Jim Tamposi, planned to turn the school into an assisted living facility.

Their plan for the building didn’t come to fruition since they wouldn’t be able to offset their operating costs with income from the facility.

The county has $1 million in CDBG funds available to use each year. Half of that amount can go towards and economic development project and the other half can go towards a housing project.

The county hasn’t applied for any economic development CDBG funds this year.

While the commissioners didn’t have any objection to the project, they did raise concerns about the shrinking amount of grant money from the federal government.

Commissioner Burnham “Bing” Judd said he doesn’t see how the federal government is going to be able to continue paying for these grant programs as its budget is starting to decrease.

to fix it up. Lamontagne said BIDPA would not have to own the building forever could turn around and sell it.

City Manager Patrick MacQueen said if a spec building is not leased or sold, then it becomes an expensive white elephant.

Lamontagne noted Colebrook was able to get some federal and state funding to build a spec building there BIDPA member Diana Nelson, who works at N.H. Employment Security, pointed out there are special tax incentives available to attract companies to Coos County.

But she agreed that once a business person makes a decision to locate a new business somewhere, they want a place ready to go.

Caron asked what the next step would be to explore building a spec building. Lamontagne said he would assemble a list of available financial resources for the authority. Caron appointed a subcommittee to meet with Lamontagne and report back to the body.

PROM from page one

and friends depart so the students could enjoy their prom themselves.

In their dance program, the Class of 2012 thanked a long list of those who helped make the evening memorable. The Town of Gorham heads the list for making the Town Hall available at no cost to the students. Lisa Bisson came in for major thanks for shepherding the prom decorations to their successful creation. Also included in the 2012 class’ thanks were the GHS administration and faculty, the GHS custodial staff, Terri Colarusso of Gorham House of Flowers, Trish Ouellette, the chaperones, the Town and Country Motor Inn, Saladino’s Restaurant, and, said the juniors, “We would also like to thank everyone that supported us through our fundraising endeavors in order to make this night a success!”

Tri-County C.A.P. plans to obtain $8 million in grant funds to convert the building into 33 housing units, said Max Makaitis, housing and economic development director at Tri-County C.A.P. “One hundred percent of this is grant money,” said Makaitis.

Once completed, Makaitis said the redeveloped building would complement many of the changes in that part of the city associated with the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. He added C.A.P.’s goal is to turn the building into something useful.

“We’re trying to eliminate blight,” said Makaitis.

Another goal with the project is to provide additional senior housing in the community, said Makaitis.

He added there are waiting lists for beds at the two nursing homes and this could help.

Tri-County C.A.P.’s other programs, including Meals on Wheel and the transportation service, would provide additional services to the facility.

Tri County C.A.P. stepped in to take over converting the former

Lamontagne said the episode got him thinking about where to go next and as a result he is meeting with all the economic development groups in the county to discuss the issue.

BIDPA member Max Makaitis, who serves as Tri-County CAP Economic and Housing Director, suggested several possible buildings in Berlin but noted some of them need work.

Lamontagne said customers can take a long time to make a decision to set up a new facility but once they decide, they want to move quickly.

Makaitis said he would put together a list of available buildings in the valley with their specifications and ownership for Lamontagne.

Lamontagne requested the list be kept updated constantly.

BIDPA chair Mike Caron said the authority has discussed constructing a spec building but funding it has always been an issue. Lamontagne suggested BIDPA could purchase a building and seek funding

and installed mock clocks everywhere. The clocks read five minutes before midnight. Add balloons, swirls of chiffon drapery with concealed lights, and arbors set up on the stage to give the stageset a three dimensional look, and the auditorium took on the look of a dramatic and magical stage set.

GHS guidance counselor Matt Saladino played the part of MC. With help from quite a few of the GHS staff, the group guided students—all looking elegant in prom dresses and suits, parents—all eager to take many, many, many photos of the beautiful children, and assorted friends and family— through the first hours of the prom, the grand march, and the MotherSon and the Father-Daughter dances, until, at last Saladino could kindly suggest that the parents

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis tions come from everywhere. You are extra-sensitive and will process your feelings and express them in a way that others can understand. You are a kind of translator.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You will get some practice in the art of wasting time. Have fun with this and be guilt-free. Without all the messing and joking around, nothing intelligent will be accomplished.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You perceive and understand what another person is going through, even though this one is trying very hard to “act normal.” Maybe you’re able to do this because you’ve been there yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Mistakes were made -- that much is clear.

You will see the brighter side of the situation because you believe life gets better as we learn from our past follies and grow beyond them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your soul needs expression. You’re still looking into the ways and methods available to you to do this. Investigate your creative and musical talent. You will experience, listen and appreciate art on a new level.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 19).

You’ll enjoy friends and new experiences in the next five weeks. June features an emotional commitment and, at month’s end, a windfall. Bond with family in July -- you succeed through united efforts.

In September, you will benefit from a scientific advance. A stroke of luck will transform your home environment in November. Leo and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 9, 2, 26 and 44.

Cul de Sac

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A secret communication may bring a thrill. It will be exciting to know something that others do not. You’ll likely sit with the information a long time as you mull over what to do with it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The network you have built around you makes you stronger. You’ll exercise the full potential of your material and nonmaterial resources. You’ll use your connections and put your talents to work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Over time, you will make a substantial contribution to the world community. This happens in small daily increments. You have special luck in foreign trade or in working through legal matters.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Extremes of thinking will bring you to the most interesting ideas. This can also break you free of futile thought patterns. Dare to be an intellectual outsider.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You and a loved one may have different ambitions, but you are equally passionate about them. It is this high level of drive that brings you together in mutual support and admiration.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll have luck in matters of publicity, publishing and politics. People see the best in you and also attribute glowing qualities to you that you have yet to develop.

You’ll be idolized.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Those who always feel the need to talk are the worst listeners. Your ego isn’t as big as some of those around you, and therefore, you will be the best listener.

You will understand the circumstances completely.

by Abigail Van Buren

READERS ADVISE ANGRY STUDENT TO MAKE THE MOST OF COLLEGE

DEAR ABBY: May I respond to “Bound for College” (April 9), the high school senior who is distressed because she may have to go to a state university?

This is America, the land of opportunity, NOT the land of entitlement. A college education is a luxury, not a right. How fortunate she is to have parents who can send her to college.

It is my hope that her father does get that job at the university.

What an excellent benefit he will have to get reduced tuition for his offspring.

If, however, that is not good enough for her, it is her right to refuse that gift. Then she may go to the school of her choice AND pay for it herself. With the cost of tuition today, that will be quite an undertaking. There are a number of options: student loans, grants, scholarships, a job or an enlistment in the military.

As you mentioned, Abby, in your response, education is what you make of it. My suggestion to “Bound for College” is, lose the attitude of entitlement, look at how blessed you are, rethink your priorities and make the most of your opportunities. -- MIKE M. IN BLOOMSBURG, PA. DEAR MIKE: Thank you for your letter. Readers unanimously agreed that “Bound” needs to make the most of the opportunities that come her way and start thinking and acting like an adult. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I could have written the same letter years ago. The similarities are uncanny. I was accepted to my dream school, but due to my family’s financial difficulties, I ended up attending my backup school, one of the largest public institutions in the country.

During the first semester, I was bitter and angry. Slowly but surely, I began to appreciate the benefits unique to a large state university. I enrolled in an honors academic program, which allowed me to receive a rigorous education from an amazing faculty. I became exposed to people from different

cultures with differing perspectives. There were numerous student organizations and clubs. I found new hobbies and became active in causes that were important to me. Although I was worried about the school’s party reputation, I quickly found other students who felt the same way I did.

“Bound,” the college experience will be what you make of it. For me, it was instrumental in shaping my future. I took advantage of the many resources available on campus. It opened up avenues for me and, most important, helped me to discover myself. I will be starting graduate school as a financially independent adult, and I can finally do it on my own terms. -- SOPHIA K., ARLINGTON, TEXAS DEAR ABBY: You can party at any school, and you can get an education at any school. To a large extent, you get out what you put in. Yes, there may be distractions on some campuses, but there will always be academically inclined students and opportunities if one looks for them. The “fit” of a school can’t really be determined until one gets there. So “Bound” should go where it is affordable and keep an open mind. She may find opportunities she has not yet considered. -- L.C. IN CHARLESTON, ILL. DEAR ABBY: Like “Bound,” my parents promised I could go to any school I wanted. I applied to one school and got in, but my parents told me I’d have to take out a loan if I wanted to go there instead of a state school (something that was never mentioned). I took the news hard and resented that I was being forced to make my first adult decision and would have debt when I graduated.

I chose to stay in-state. The school was a party school, and I spent most of my freshman year angry that I was there. A year later, my anger was gone. Abby, please advise “Bound” that it’s what you make of the college experience that counts.

-- BEEN THERE IN RICHMOND, VA.

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

Gorham boys top undefeated Huskies sneak out of Pittsburg with 11-8 victory Colebrook in five innings, 12-0 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

PITTSBURG -- The Gorham boy’s baseball team built a 9-0 lead and then held off a furious Pittsburg rally and went on to defeat the Panthers 11-8 in Pittsburg Thursday.

“Pittsburg has a young team with a couple of very talented and experienced players,” said Huskie coach, Jean LeBlanc. “You have to credit Pittsburg with the come back. Most teams would have packed it in, they did not. We committed a couple of errors and they got the timely hits to get themselves back in the game.

It was our fifth game in four days and we went flat. It was nice to see our starters get back in the game and come back with two key runs in the top of the seventh inning off of their ace pitcher. I think that was key to keep the Panthers from coming all the way back.”

Gorham clean-up hitter Cody LeBlanc had the big day at the plate, going three for three, including three RBIs. Huskie second base-

man, Patrick Pike, was one for one including four walks, and touched home plate on four ocassions. That made a winner out of senior right hander pitcher Brandon Sanschagrin.

“Other than that fifth inning in Pittsburg, the kids had a good week,” said LeBlanc. “The team had five wins in four days. Our pitching was depleted and the kids showed some tough minded character by throwing when the were not at their best. This was a good confidence building stretch, especially against Colebrook who was undefeated.”

The Gorham boys will face another tough week, squaring off against the Mohawks on Monday, Lisbon on Wednesday, and Profile on Friday.

COLEBROOK -- The Gorham boy’s baseball team scored eight times in the fourth inning and went on to defeat the Mohawks 12-0 in a game that was stopped after just five innings of play via the ten run rule in Colebrook Thursday.

The game was supposed to be a highly contested affair because of each teams’ record. The Huskies came in at 9-1 and Colebrook was undefeated. Gorham sent senior right hander Doug Willey to the hill, to try and issue the Mohawks their first set-back of the season.

Gorham jumped on Colebrook starter James Frizzel for three runs in the first inning. Huskie juniors Jake St. Hilare and Jon Chabot had the key hits, swatting a two run single and then an RBI double for a 3-0 lead.

Willey had a tough time settling into the game. The hard throwing righty was uncharacteristically off, issuing six free passes. However, when Willey needed to get people out, the senior set down nine Mohawks on strike outs. Willey’s best work came in the bottom of the second

ger 0-8, Mountie Dimitri Giannos lost a hard fought game to Michael Workman 6-8, and sixth seed Jake Drouin took Eagle Max Fisher to a tie breaker before a dropping a hard fought 7-9 decision.

The match was clearly in hand for the undefeated Gilford Eagles, heading into the doubles competition.

Berlin’s Stephenson and Michalik lost to Chapin and Kwist 2-8, Mountie duo Perreault and Baillargeon fell to Raws and Deffregger 1-8, and John Patrick and John Berthiaume fell in defeat to Tyler Caufield and James Curtis 4-8, completing the shut-out for Gilford.

MOULTONBOROUGH -- The Berlin girl’s tennis team got five wins during the singles’ competition, and went on to defeat the Moultonborough Panthers 6-2 Monday. The victory currently puts the Lady Mountaineers into the fourth and final playoff spot, with just a few games left to play.

In singles, #1 senior Moriah Arsenault beat Panther Amanda Hayden 8-3, Mountie second seed Al Aldrich swatted her way past Madi Maroun 8-1, Berlin’s Kathryn Record shutout Lexi Welch 8-0, senior fourth seed, Felicia Arsenault, lost in

and third innings. Willey filled the base paths with Mohawk runners on three free passes. Gorham got out of the jam on a Willey punch out, keeping the home team off the score board.

In the bottom of the third inning, Mohawk Tyler Griffin singled to reach base with the only Colebrook hit of the game. A free pass to Leach and a pass ball put runners at second and third base with nobody out. After a strikeout, Colebrook attempted a squeeze play.

The pitched ball was not bunted and the Huskies were able to get the second out after tagging out Griffin in the run down. A ground out got Willey out of the jam.

The Huskies got rolling in the fourth inning. Gorham used seven hits in the eight run inning to push their advantage to 12-0.

The Gorham victory was the tenth of the season. After the game, Gorham had to travel north to take on Pittsburg.

Froude, Gallagher, Kihara named to Mt. Washington Road Race Hall of Fame

By Lloyd Jones PINKHAM NOTCH — Derek Froude, the first person to run up the Mt. Washington Auto Road in under one hour, joins four-time Mt. Washington champions Mike Gallagher and Daniel Kihara this year as the 2011 inductees to the Mount Washington Road Race Hall of Fame.

These three extraordinary runners will be honored this summer in a ceremony held at the base of Mt. Washington on Friday, June 17, the evening before the 51st running of this alluphill race to the summit of the highest peak in the Northeast.

Sponsored by Northeast Delta Dental, the Mt. Washington Road Race annually pits 1000 runners against one of the most challenging obstacles in road-racing anywhere in the world: the 7.6-mile Mt. Washington Auto Road, which rises at an average grade of 12 percent to the 6288-foot Mt. Washington summit.

The race has attracted Olympic athletes, Boston marathon champions, and the best mountain running specialists in the world to compete in the White Mountains of New Hampshire along with numerous other runners from across the United States and from sixteen other countries.

Founded last year on the occasion of the 50th running of the storied race, the Mt. Washington Road Race Hall of Fame recognizes athletes whose exceptional accomplishments in the race have added greatly to the history and stature of the event. Inductees are chosen by a vote of the Hall of Fame committee from a longer list of nominees compiled by December 31 of the preceding year. This year’s Hall of Fame inductees will be honored at a ceremony on Friday, June 17, the night before the annual Mt. Washington Road Race.

The 2011 inductees and their accomplishments: Froude of New Zealand ran the marathon in the 1984 Olympic Games, trained in Colorado and became increasingly interested in mountain racing. He came to the Mt. Washington Road Race in 1990 with a plan to break the daunting one-hour barrier here, and, after studying the course

carefully, succeeded in clocking a time of 59 minutes 17 seconds. “I thought I could do it,” he said upon finishing.

Froude returned to win again in 1991, then made one more appearance here in 1992, this time finishing second behind another Colorado-trained newcomer (Matt Carpenter).

Derek Froude now lives in Florida and will travel to Mt. Washington for the Hall of Fame ceremony.

Gallagher remains best known as one of America’s great Nordic skiers – he skied in three Olympics – but he was also a formidable runner, as he proved by becoming the first person to win the Mt. Washington Road Race four times. Moreover, he won those in consecutive years (1968-1971); the only person with more consecutive wins (five) is Bob Hodge. Gallagher ran a personal best of 1:06:13 here in 1968, and in his final win, in 1971, he took a 51-second victory over Boston Marathon champion and Olympic Trials marathoner Amby Burfoot.

Since retiring from racing, Mike Gallagher has kept busy with coaching and with inspiring young skiers. He lives in Vermont and will drive over to the White Mountains for the Friday night event.

Kihara first ran Mt. Washington in 1996, when he took nearly a minute off Froude’s course record, making the ascent in 58:21. Training both in his native Kenya and in the hills of Pennsylvania, Kihara returned to Mt. Washington in 1999 to win a second time, following with his third and fourth victories in 2000 and 2001. His only loss was a sixth place finish in the weather-shortened race in 2002. His slowest time for the full course was just six seconds over an hour (1:00:06), and he is still the only runner in the history of the race with three sub-one hour finishes. Whether or not he can attend the event in person remains to be ascertained.

This year’s Mt. Washington Road Race and Hall of Fame induction are part of the summer-long celebration of the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Mt. Washington Auto Road.

called the Mt. Washington Carriage Road, the twisting, windswept road to the top of the Presidential Range was one of the first man-made tourist attractions in New England. The Mt. Washington Road Race was first held three times in the 1930s, then again in 1961 on the Auto Road’s centennial, in 1962, and continuously since 1966.

The Friday evening Hall of Fame induction is part of the annual pre-race gathering for stories, brief speeches, information and advice about running up the mountain, and other tributes to the race. The ceremony will start at 6 p.m. in the large tent at the base of the Auto Road, on Route 16 just north of Pinkham Notch.

Profile nips Berlin girls, by score of 5-4

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- The Profile girl’s tennis team got successful results from their lower seeds, leading the Patriots to a hard fought 5-4 victory over the Berlin girls tennis team.

In singles action, Berlin #1 seed Moriah Arsenault beat Isabel Eyman 8-3, second seed Al Aldrich defeated Profile’s Becca Palmer 8-1, Mountie Kathryn Record fought past Libby Gaitskill 9-8 (7-5), youngster #4 seed Miriam Arsenault fell to Patriot Cher Christnacht 1-8, Emily Ploudre battled but eventually fell to Rachel Johnson 4-8, and senior sixth seed-

Staci Beaudoin was beaten by Emma Stone 3-8.

The match was all tied up 3-3 and would be determined by doubles play. Berlin’s top duo of Moriah Arsenault and Al Aldrich shut-out Libby Gaitskill and Becca Palmer 8-0, Mounties Kathryn Record and Miriam Arsenault lost to Patriot’s Cher Christnacht and Rachel Johnson 0-8, and Staci Beaudoin and Emily Ploudre lost to Emma Stone and Cole 3-8.

“It was another exciting tennis match,” said Berlin mentor Patty Hood. “The Profile girls played very well.”

The monument marking Hutchins Street as the Sgt. Randy Scott Rosenberg Memorial Highway was completed last week by Public Works. The highway was dedicated last year with a plaque temporarily mounted on a pole. Don Piper of Nicoletti Memorials volunteered his labor and mounted the plaque on a stone he also donated. Public Works employees found two boulders at Guay’s pit on Route 110 and completed the monument honoring Rosenberg. Public Works Director Michael Perreault said the department will be planting a shrub behind the monument to complete the presentation. A Berlin native, Rosenberg was killed in the line of duty in Iraq in 2004. (BARBARA TETREAULT PHOTO)
