Isaacson Structural Steel ugres NH Work on IPPs to stop opposing Berlin BioPower Randolph BERLIN – Isaacson Structural Steel, Inc. announced yesterday that it is urging six small New Hampshire biomass power plants to withdraw their coordinated opposition to the Berlin BioPower project, and allow the plant to move forward in creating an estimated 400 construction jobs and 40 permanent jobs for the Berlin area. Bridgewater Power, Pinetree Power in Tamworth and Bethlehem, Springfield Power, Whitefield Power & Light and IndeckEnergy Alexandria (known as the Wood-Fired IPPs) have joined forces to oppose Berlin BioPower at the NH Site Evaluation Committee proceedings and the NH Public Utilities Commission. \In a letter delivered to the WoodFired IPPs Wednesday, Isaacson’s co-owner Steve Griffin wrote, “The NH Public Utilities Commission has granted conditional approval to PSNH’s power purchase agreement with Berlin BioPower, and PSNH has agreed to the PUC’s required modifications. It’s time for you to do the right thing for New Hampshire and withdraw your Motions for a

Rehearing at the PUC so this project can move forward and create good jobs and true economic activity for Berlin, Coos County and all surrounding communities. … To continue fighting Berlin BioPower would be selfserving and hypocritical. As a group, the Wood-Fired IPPs have aggressively lobbied NH political and economic development leaders to force PSNH into buying your power, to save your own plants and preserve jobs. At the same time you are asking for help, you are trying to stop Berlin BioPower and prevent it from creating jobs and stimulating the Berlin economy. This is not right, and it’s not the NH way. Jobs in Berlin are critically important too.”

Griffin noted the Wood-Fired IPPs are owned by large out-of-state and foreign energy companies, such as France’s GDZ Suez (Pinetree Power Tamworth and Bethlehem), Korea East-West Power Company (Whitefield Power & Light, Springfield Power), Illinois’ Indeck Energy Services see ISAACSON page 11

GORHAM— The days of the Fur, Feather and Fin Club building in Gorham could be numbered now that the Board of Selectmen is considering demolishing it.

“The building is not in good shape,” said Parks and Recreation Director Jeff Stewart.

Stewart met with the selectmen Monday night to discuss the possibility of tearing down the existing building and replacing it with something see TEARING DOWN page 5

Oprah signs off

(NY Times) — The surprise was that at long last there weren’t any more surprises.

Oprah Winfrey took her final bow on Wednesday by holding back. “There will be no makeovers, no surprises — really, no surprises,” she told her studio audience. “You will not be getting a car or a tree.

This last hour is really about me saying thank you.”

And Winfrey did exactly that in a monologue that was something between a graduation address and a Sunday homily, praising God and her fans for her success and exhorting viewers to “connect, embrace, liberate, love somebody, just one person and then spread that to two and as many as you can.” And the lack of ceremony, the absence of celebrities, goody bags or confetti, was less a letdown than a relief after the star-studded, two-part Oprah-fest on Monday and Tuesday at the United Center in Chicago, a Pharaonic tribute that capped what was already a seasonlong elegy to the star of the “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

Winfrey’s last show was a lot more like the first nationally syndicated episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 1986, when the young woman who overcame an abusive, deprived childhood was only beginning to be known but had already developed a messianic streak. Winfrey showed a clip of that maiden appearance, in which she explained, “This show always allows people, hopefully, to understand the power they have to change their own lives.”

SAYWHAT...

“

Excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism.”

—Oprah Winfrey

U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan.

Third day of fierce fighting in Yemen ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Hopes for a peaceful settlement of Yemen’s political crisis receded further on Wednesday as intensifying street battles between government security forces and opposition tribesmen moved into a third day, leaving at least two dozen people dead and turning part of the Yemeni capital, Sana, into a war zone.

Government checkpoints and impromptu

blockades erected by tribal fighters disrupted traffic around central Sana as clashes continued near several important government buildings in the Hasaba district. On Wednesday, opposition tribesmen controlled at least two ministries — trade and tourism — and a building that houses the state-run news agency, Saba.

Each side blamed the other for the out-

break of fighting. There were varying death tolls, some as high as 44, with more than 150 said to be wounded.

Many Yemenis fear the bloodshed could spiral into a broader war between supporters of Yemen’s embattled president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, and tribesmen allied with the powerful Ahmar family, whose house was at the center of the fighting.

Daunting task for NATO Survivors cower as new in Libya as strikes intensify storm brews but passes OVER THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA (NY Times) — Just after midnight on Sunday, an allied Mirage 2000 fighter jet prowling the Libyan coastline attacked a Libyan missile patrol boat that military officials said threatened NATO and humanitarian aid vessels in nearby waters.

The strike on the Libyan warship in the harbor at Sirt came at the end of a convoluted chain that started with political orders from Brussels, passed through two military command centers in Italy and concluded with control-

lers aboard this Awacs commandand-control plane 50 miles off the Libyan coast authorizing the Mirage to bomb the boat.

Two months into the Libya air campaign, allied officers insist they have worked out the kinks in an operation initially plagued by NATO’s inexperience in waging a complex air war against moving targets and botched communications with the ragtag rebel army. The confusion resulted in at least two accidental bombings that killed over a dozen rebel fighters.

JOPLIN, Mo. (NY Times) — The warning siren blared again. And in the cinderblock hallways below the makeshift shelter where they had been living, the displaced survivors of the country’s deadliest tornado prepared for another assault.

Despite sending another shiver of fear through this southwestern Missouri city, the storm passed Tuesday night without causing any more significant damage.

On Wednesday, a makeshift morgue had been set up in a warehouse on the outskirts of Joplin — down the road from a cemetery — but the authorities were not allowing people inside to identify family members. Instead, an official said all identifications would be done forensically to prevent fraud — and perhaps horror.

“A lot of them don’t understand there’s nothing to look at,” said Detective Sgt. Craig Davis of the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department. Sergeant Davis said the tornado’s victims included his wife’s grandmother, but that even he had not been allowed inside to identify her remains.

Fugitive found hiding in dryer

BY CLYNTON NAMUO THE UNION LEADER

ROCHESTER — A man who jumped from a cruiser mere feet from police headquarters and then eluded an intense manhunt, all while handcuffed, is back in custody after 11 days on the lam.

Michael Mendoza, 27, of 7 Woodlawn Road, was found Tuesday afternoon at his home, hiding inside a dryer in the cellar, police said.

“It was a regular household dryer,” Capt. Paul Callaghan said.

Alysia Mendoza, 21, Michael’s wife, was also arrested Tuesday and charged with hindering apprehension for allegedly helping to hide him.

Michael Mendoza was handcuffed in the back of a police cruiser on the night of May 13, being taken into the station on a parole violation, when he apparently contorted himself to bring his handcuffs from the back of his body to the front and then allegedly escaped, feet first, out the open back window, Callaghan said.

“We have policies in place regarding prisoner transports that not only protect the officer, but protect the prisoner and the com-

munity,” Callaghan said. “Those policies were not followed and we hold all officers to a high standard of conduct.”

Mendoza ran away while the cruiser was on Museum Avenue, a roadway that acts essentially as a driveway to city hall and the police headquarters. He eluded police despite an intense manhunt that night.

Callaghan declined to name the officer who was transporting Mendoza and he said the department is conducting an internal review on the matter.

Mendoza is charged with escape, as well as possession of OxyContin with the intent to distribute.

He refused bail, while his wife was released on her own recognizance.

Police spent many hours searching for Mendoza since his escape, including watching his home. Police were helped by Strafford County Sheriff deputies and the U.S. Marshal Service, Callaghan said. Officers had been watching the home for several hours before going inside Tuesday around 5 p.m.

Michael Mendoza will be arraigned Wednesday in Rochester District Court; his wife is scheduled for arraignment on June 27.

N.H. man helps tornado victims in Missouri MANCHESTER — A vacation with friends turned into a searchand-rescue mission for a Claremont man who was visiting Joplin, Mo., over the weekend when a deadly tornado struck.

Kiley Shackett said he and a high school friend were touring downtown Joplin when they heard the tornado warning sirens.

“It was very loud, very ominous that something definitely was going to happen,” Shackett said.

As the storm approached, they took cover in a city building where his friend works.

“When the barricades -- because they were redoing the sidewalks -started to lift off the ground and fly across the street, we decided it was time to go down to the basement and wait it out,” he said.

Two blocks away, a tornado was tearing apart cars, homes and buildings. After about a half hour, they went outside to find the devastation.

“It was very weird to see how a tornado works,” Shackett said.

“Some places were spared, and right next door, places are completely gone. It looked just like a bomb had gone off.”

Realizing how bad the situation was, Shackett said they drove to a police station to ask if they needed help. A volunteer coordinator said they did.

“They came out, handed us a bunch of tools and said, ‘Go out to these blocks, shut off gas lines, look for survivors or wounded. Things like that.”

Shackett said they found one woman who was trapped and were able to get her help. Shackett, who is an EMT at Valley Regional Hospital in Claremont, then volunteered at a makeshift trauma center to help injured and homeless residents.

“It was very heartwarming, very rewarding that I was part of that type of team,” he said. “I have the ability to do stuff like that, where I could have been useful.”

Shackett returned home from vacation Tuesday with, he said, a new appreciation for Mother Nature.

House delays vote on right-to-work bill

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 26, 2011— Page 3

CONCORD — The New Hampshire House will have to wait until another day to vote on a vetoed bill that bars unions from collecting a share of bargaining and administrative costs from non-members.

House Speaker William O’Brien did not call for a vote on the bill despite almost full attendance. O’Brien had said he might postpone a vote if he did not have the votes to override Demo-

cratic Gov. John Lynch’s veto of the bill opposed by labor groups.

Labor groups criticized O’Brien for not allowing a vote after telling lawmakers they would vote on the veto Wednesday.

AFL-CIO President Mark MacKenzie said there would never be a better day.

Lynch said the bill interferes with private businesses and their employees’ negotiations over contracts —Courtesy of WMUR

Student killed in tollbooth crash Saturday identified HOOKSETT — The student who died Saturday after crashing his car at more than 100 mph into the Hooksett tollbooth on Interstate 93 has been identified in a family obituary.

He is Steve Nkuli Ituome, 23.

State police did not return a call seeking confirmation of the identity.

The accident occurred about 11:20 p.m. Saturday in the northbound lanes of Interstate 93.

The obituary said Ituome was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo to Francois and Elise (Mabioto) Kaniki Ituome.

His uncle, Laurent Cardinal Monsengwo, Archbishop of Kinshasa, D.R.C., will officiate at a Mass of Christian burial at St. Joseph’s Cathedral in Manchester, according to the obituary.

Mayor Paul Grenier issues retraction This statement was released by Mayor Paul Grenier referring to Monday’s city council meeting.

“Statements made by Mayor Grenier and Mike Rozek pertinent to Edrest Properties and Jonathan Edwards being delinquent in real estate taxes were made in error and are not accurate statements. We apologize for the error. Jonathan Edwards and Edrest

properties have been concerned about the negative impacts the Berlin biomass project may have on an existing fleet of several hundred jobs associated with North Country biomass facilities already in existence. While we strongly disagree with Edrest properties and Jonathan Edwards on this point, we respect their right to express their concern.”

a permanent place and get rid of the trailer; one idea is to replace the fur, feather and fin building with the trailer.

This way, Stewart said the town is spending a minimal amount of money and using resources it already has. He added he doesn’t want to see the town spending a lot of money on the project when there’s potentially a cheaper option.

Selectman David Graham said that might be a plan to explore. He added he feels everybody in town, including the recreation department, wants to stop us He said he primarily used the Fur, Feather and Fin Club building during the summer when it rains and the kids can’t be outside for activities.

springs emerging through cracks in the asphalt and dips where water accumulates virtually at a drop of rain.

The reconstruction project is expected to be complete by the second week in October.

On-site manager for H.E.Bergeron will be Eric Grenier, of Berlin.

In second and third places in bids for the project were Pike Industries with a bid of $1,294,297.50 and A.R. Couture Construction with a bid of $1,299,961.

All bidders were from New Hampshire.

With engineering and related costs, the total cost will be close to the $1.5 million, approved by the Randolph Town Meeting.

As this has been a state road, the state is sharing the cost. With completion of the project, the town of Randolph is taking over responsibility for the road.

else. The board will wait to take action on Stewart’s proposal until after it has seen some price quotes for demolition.

“I would like to get rid of that building,” said Stewart.

Fire Chief Rick Eichler checked out the building, said Stewart, and found a number of problems including a leaking roof, mold in the ceiling tiles, an unusable furnace. He added Eichler determined the building isn’t fit to be used by anyone until it is repaired or replaced with another building.

“I’ve been there,” said Selectman Paul Robitaille. “I have to agree.”

Since Stewart said he’s looking to house the recreation department in ager Jay Poulin, of Berlin, will explain the project and describe what residents and users of the road can expect as the work progresses this summer.

The entire paved section of the road will be torn up and replaced, with proper drains installed which are projected to keep the road in good shape, provided proper annual maintenance is done.

The roadway will also be somewhat widened where possible to allow for snow plowed from the roadway. The lack of space has led to a hazardous narrowing of the road in winter.

At present, the road is a nightmare of boulders projecting through broken asphalt and unexpected valleys meandering across the road with broken asphalt edges, eroded edges at the sides of the road and recurring potholes,

little cost. This irregularity and lack of design could be seen in what was called the “St. Giles District” (Granite and Mason Streets) of Berlin.

On the Berlin-Gorham Road, these conditions were much worse and had it not been for the Cascade Mills taking possession and changing the location of the highway, there would have been many illegalities in the adjustment of lines.

In the days of Berlin Falls as a rural hamlet, with a post office, small store and a custom gristmill, the mercantile activity of this place was practically nothing. At first when it began to show signs of becoming a thriving town, most of the people did their trading either at the Berlin Mills store or six miles away in Gorham. Before the trolley system, people made their trips there with horse and buggy or by the Grand Trunk Railway. This meant that a marketing or shopping expedition consumed a large part of a resident’s day.

Local merchants were worried about establishing themselves here for any length of time. The town had grown suddenly and the popular sentiment seemed to be that it would drop back into obscurity with equal rapidity. A constant cause of this fear and dread was the nearness of a “timber famine”.

It was believed that in a very short time, the lumber would all be cut from the hillsides and then the industries of Berlin would cease from lack of raw material.

Soon, however, merchants that were doing a prosperous business in adjoining towns, opened branch establishments here in Berlin and in some lines of merchandise, a thriving business was carried on by people living out of town. Some of these people soon came here and established their own businesses and became leaders in the mercantile life of this city.

At this time, there were no canned goods and groceries were handled in bulk. One by one, merchants and traders began to realize that Berlin

offered possibilities greater than they had dreamed and with that, there was a sudden rush for desirable locations for many different types of stores.

In the 1870s, the Dead River flowed sluggishly across the one street (Main) that was the town and this was crossed by a single wooden bridge. The land in this area where now (1915) the finest stores in the North Country stood, was swampy and for a considerable part of the year under water.

The matter of filling in this tract of land and the construction of buildings several stories high, demonstrated the faith that was in these early pioneers and their belief in Berlin’s future.

As soon as it became a settled fact that Berlin was an established market for provisions and clothing, other mercantile ventures were opened in town.

It was impossible to say what particular industry had taken the lead, but Berlin seemed to grow overnight.

For a long time, there was a tavern near the Grand Trunk Station and that building still stood until 1923.

This place (Green House) was for the accommodation of travelers passing through the town and not at all for the local public. Also, the Cascade House and the Mt. Forist House were in their day, large, appointed and abundantly sufficient hotels for all the traffic which was ever expected to come to Berlin.

By the mid teens there were several hotels, any of which was able to contain the total accommodations of the late seventies and early eighties of the 1800s. These hotels of the teens were insufficient at the time to meet the large and constantly increasing requirements of the traveling public.

As many of the operatives in the paper mills were men with families, the necessity for schools became apparent. So, from the first days of Berlin’s prosperity there had been every endeavor to maintain schools of the highest class. With this, no expense was spared in either buildings or instructors to keep the forefront in matters educational.

How well the town succeeded in this was shown by the fact that Berlin had a reputation throughout New England as one of the most advanced cities in its educational facilities and curriculum organized in its municipal schools. In addition to the public schools, in the early teens, the Catholic Church maintained two schools of which were the Academie St. Regis with an enrollment of about thirteen hundred students and St. Patrick’s school which had around three hundred and fifty students. That made a total enrollment in the schools of Berlin nearly three thousand by this time.

When Berlin businesses were on the move, they demanded the facilities in the handling and transmission of money and also the accommodation of industries which were not backed up by unlimited capital. Hence it was realized that this place needed a

banking system.

No sooner had the demand appeared and the banks began to exist. They came in the form of savings and national banks, trust companies and building and loan associations, springing up almost spontaneously.

Up to this point in time these institutions were established on such a sound and firm basis that the character of the men who held positions of trust in these numerous local places, had never been touched by the breath of scandal relative to the moneyed establishments of this city. That did change in later years.

I will finish with the great progress that Berlin made from 1870 to the mid teens in my next writing.

The Milan Village Deli is open

BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

MILAN—The Village Deli and General Store in Milan has reopened with, as they say in their brochure, “pizza, subs, groceries, meats and more.”

That should be “much more.”

Dave and Cindy Woodward are the new owners.

They have a variety of boned fresh and/or marinated meats for sale in addition to deli meats and will have more meat selections as soon as they are equipped with a band saw and a grinder. The beef is 100 percent Angus beef, Cindy said in a recent interview.

Local history buffs that they are, they are slowly adding touches of local history in the historic building that the deli occupies.

They also have redone the place with touches including a lunch bar, where people can sit for a quick deli meal, in addition to the seating at the booths installed by the previous owners, Patricia and Arthur Walsh, “who redid the whole place,” said Cindy.

“This is something we have thought about for years,” Cindy said, taking a break just before the busy lunch hours.

Both she and Dave had good jobs that they loved, she said: Cindy at Woodland Credit Union where she was for 19 years and Dave with Avitar and Associates for more than ten years.

“We toyed with the idea for so long and then we thought, ‘We aren’t getting any younger.’ A business like this takes about ten years to really become

successful. We figured the time was now,” she said.

They bought the building at the end of February, worked on necessary renovations and opened the deli on May 2.

Deli hours are Sundays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Monday through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. During the summer, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the Monday through Saturday hours increase from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

In addition to traditional pizza fare (pepperoni, sausage, etc.) they offer amazing sounding pizzas like The Guiltless, which is dough, brushed with olive oil, tomato, baby spinach, herbs, and mozzarella; Beef Bomb, which is roast beef, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, mayo and provolone; and Dracula’s Bane, which is “garlic, onions, Italian sausage, cheese….did I say Garlic?,” according to their menu.

But that’s just for starters. They also have burgers (beef or chicken) or hot dogs in varying guises, side dishes such as french fries, onion rings, and corn cob salad, everybody’s favorite salads with a choice of eight dressings, soups, chowders, stews, chilies; deli sandwiches for which you get to choose what meat, dressing, cheese, veggies, etc. that you want, and Village Sandwiches such as a classic Reuben or meatball. Breakfasts offered are just as varied with the regulars kinds of breakfast that you’d expect plus such tempting combinations as the Farmwich which is “scrambled egg, bacon and cheddar cheese, drizzled with a little maple syrup stacked

between two pieces of french toast.”

And, of course, they have coffee and tea and soft drinks, including Moxie.

And they offer scoop ice cream in dishes or cones.

And they have fresh bread—Sarah’s Best, cooked by Sarah Cordwell, both white and wheat—with deliveries at the beginning of the week and on Fridays.

And they have other interesting food products like the Fennelly Farm selection from Vermont.

John Speer is on hand to cook and other family and friends are helping to staff the deli.

The Woodwards have done no advertising, but they find that the word is getting out and they are pleased with the response,” Cindy said.

“We have gotten to see people in town that we haven’t seen in years,” she added.

The historical aspect of the Woodward-redecorated deli is along the farm theme. The seats at the counter, for instance, are both green (John Deere) and red (Farmall) and pictures of local farms and tractors are beginning to grace the walls, contributed by friends and family.

The building was constructed in 1904 by the Odd Fellows, said Dave.

“They had their hall on the third floor, the second floor was open for town functions, and the first floor was the Hamlin store and post office.”

“People were saddened to see it empty,” which it was for two years, see DELI page 10

said Cindy. “People are happy to see it reopen. People like to talk about it when it was the Odd Fellows Hall and when there was a basketball court upstairs. There’s a lot of history in this building.”

By Holiday Mathis way to prevail in the end.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You like to chase, and you like to do the chasing. Whichever role you’re in today, it will be fun, as long as the one who is doing the chasing really intends to catch the other person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You will correctly assess what you can do. This sounds basic and common, but it is actually a special gift. You would be amazed how often people overestimate or underestimate their abilities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You are complex and multifaceted. And yet it might help you to simplify things for the purpose of making a certain kind of impression. Think of yourself as a brand. If you had a slogan, what would it be?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll take care to do things right the first time. A powerful person is watching, expecting you to be a pro. You’ll feel the pressure and use it constructively as motivation to be excellent.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You didn’t set out on a mission to find money, so the money comes looking for you. You’ll get financial opportunities while you’re busy pleasantly minding your own business.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 26).

Your biggest challenge is within your own mind. You’ll dedicate yourself to the process of evolving to a new level of thinking and understanding. In June, a mentor appears on the scene to guide you. July brings a change of location. You’ll receive tangible benefits from your creativity and public persona.

Aquarius and Taurus people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 19, 36, 26, 2 and 12.

Cul de Sac

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your small gestures will have big meaning.

That’s how closely people are watching you, though most of the attention they pay you may be on a subconscious level.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A personal interaction will be thoroughly rewarding. You will satisfy someone’s need and make that person happy. Your act, in turn, will fulfill you on a deep emotional level.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll have access to a person who can seriously help you out -- more than a little.

Maybe one phone call or meeting is all you need to start the ball rolling. Practice what you’ll say first to work out the kinks.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know that a change is coming. The question is whether it’s best or even possible to consciously guide the change instead of letting it wash over you and happen the way it happens.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are one of those unique creatures who can actually be creative even when you are tense. That’s why you deal with deadlines so well. Still, your best work usually comes when you are relaxed and joyful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will know you have arrived because you will no longer feel like you have anywhere to go. Maybe this is a temporary destination -- a plateau of sorts. But enjoy it and celebrate it for now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be strong, happy and confident -- that is, until a certain someone enters the picture and makes you go all mushy. This person may be your kryptonite, but just like Superman, you will always find a

MOTHER’S OUTBURSTS SUGGEST SOMETHING’S SERIOUSLY WRONG

DEAR ABBY: My dad died four years ago. He and Mom had many friends and did everything together, including raising nine children.

Mom was always in charge of things. Dad reinforced any decisions she made and vice versa. Since his death, Mom has become progressively more bitter. Eight children are alive today, and we all avoid her if we can. She cries because no one stops by to see her, but if we do, she has a long chore list waiting. I have my own home, work two jobs and don’t want what little time I have with her spent working as her slave.

If by chance I feel brave enough to take her out in public, she embarrasses me with her verbal outbursts. She waits until I start to pay, then asks loudly, “Are you sure you have enough money in the bank to pay for that?” Another time, she stopped a complete stranger, told him I was single and asked if he wanted to know my bra size!

I have tried talking to her. She just gets mad and makes my life even more miserable. Mom will be 70 in a few months. I want to enjoy her and what time we have left together, but I find myself running away from her wrath!

I don’t want to live without her, but I don’t want to live with her, either. Please tell me what to do. -- DRIVEN AWAY IN GEORGIA DEAR DRIVEN AWAY: Was your mother always this way? If not, please understand that she may be seriously ill. You have described some symptoms of the onset of dementia. Instead of shunning her, you and your siblings

need to encourage her to see her doctor because she needs a thorough physical and neurological examination. Offering you to a strange man was extremely inappropriate, and her chore list may indicate that she’s no longer able to do what’s on it for herself.

Your mother NEEDS all of you right now. Go with her to the doctor, and be sure her physician knows what’s been going on. It may take insistence from all of you to get her there. Please don’t let her down. You have my sympathy and so does she.

DEAR ABBY: I am a single dad of three kids. For the past three years I have promised to take them to Disney World. The first year, my youngest got sick and had to have surgery. The following year, I had a stroke and was laid up for a while. This year, as I was on my way to get the tickets, my car broke down.

I work so hard to give my kids what they need, but I can’t give them a vacation they can remember for the rest of their lives. I feel like I have let them down. How can I make this feeling go away? -- NO MAGIC FOR US IN OHIO DEAR NO MAGIC: For one thing, stop beating yourself up over circumstances that are beyond your control.

As a single parent, you are giving your children love, support and memories of a caring father that WILL last a lifetime. You’ll take them to Disney World at a time when it is feasible. Until then, forgive yourself for not having been able to deliver on your promise immediately.

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

Bicknell’s Thrush tour with Tin Mountain is June 12 MOUNT WASHINGTON -- The Bicknell’s Thrush, a small gray songbird found in montane forests, has one of the most restricted breeding ranges of any bird in North America. In fact, Mount Washington is one of only two known breeding sites in the northeast. The Mount Washington Auto Road offers a chance every June for bird enthusiasts to catch a glimpse and an earful of this elusive mountain resident. Tin Mountain’s staff of knowledgeable birders will be leading the June 12, morning excursion.

Bicknell’s Thrush is named after Eugene Bicknell, an ornithologist who discovered the species in New York’s Catskill Mountains in the late nineteenth century. The bird’s population numbers are restricted by the limited breeding habitat, which are boreal spruce and fir forests, particularly ones that have been recently disturbed. Nesting normally occurs above 3,000 feet. These habitats are

also ideal for foraging; the Bicknell’s Thrush’s diet is comprised primarily of insects and other arthropods.

Unlike other thrush species, male Bicknell’s do not maintain strict territories, making it possible to hear several males singing within the same area. It is these exact behaviors that lend themselves to sightings of the elusive birds along the Mount Washington Auto Road.

Excited by the opportunity to view these rare birds? Mount Washington Auto Road boasts 100 percent success for the 2010 season. Individuals interested in joining Tin Mountain on this unique opportunity are asked to make advanced reservations by calling 447-6991. The cost of the program is $50/person, and includes travel on the Auto Road.

For more information on Tin Mountain Conservation Center and all nature programs, visit www.tinmountain.org or call 603-447-6991.

Senate panel votes to oppose lowering school dropout age Page 20 — THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 26, 2011

BY GARRY RAYNO THE UNION LEADER

CONCORD — The Senate Education Committee voted 3-1 to recommend the Senate kill a bill that would lower the school dropout age from 18 to 16.

House Bill 429 would allow a

16-year-old to withdraw from school with parental permission, and would reverse 2007 changes in state law pushed by Gov. John Lynch and others to reduce the school dropout rate.

At the public hearing on the bill before the Senate Education Committee last month, the bill’s prime sponsor, Rep.

James Parison, R-New Ipswich, said the 2007 changes to the law “threw parents under the bus. It took away parents’ rights and gave it to superintendents.” He and others argue it is a parental rights issue. But opponents of HB 429 call it a step backward that would undo advances made under the 2007 law, which has been

very effective in reducing the dropout rate for the state’s students.

At Tuesday’s committee meeting, there was little discussion by committee members before they voted to recommend killing the bill. The House approved the bill on a 210-134 vote. The full Senate will vote on the bill next week.
