Public visioning session next for Mt. Jasper Isaacson Structual Steel furloughs workers

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – A public visioning session is the next step for efforts to protect the summit of Mt. Jasper.

After devoting most of its monthly meeting to discussing Mt. Jasper, the planning board voted to form a subcommittee to work with Sally Manikian and interested members of the public to organize the visioning session. The board specified it wanted the session organized within the next month or two.

Three years ago the city approved an overlay zone for the summits of both Mt. Jasper and Mt. Forist.

The overlay zone requires that any development proposed within the zone must first come before the planning board for review.

Owned by the city, Mt. Jasper is used on a regular basis by hikers and walkers. There is no maintained

trail or usage policy for the 2,068-foot mountain. The mountain is listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its use by Native Americans as a source of rhyolite to make knives and scrapers.

City planner Pamela Laflamme said after the zone was approved several interested citizens wanted to develop a formal hiking trail on Mt. Jasper. In the course of that effort, Manikian and others successfully applied for a grant to put a conservative easement on Mt. Jasper that would prevent any future development of the summit area. Tri-County Community Action Program has agreed to hold the easement for the city. This spring, the council asked the planning board to work with CAP and interested members of the public on a draft easement that the council could review. see VISIONING page 7

GRS Board discusses instruction, preschool

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM — Members of the Gorham Randolph Shelburne Cooperative School Board were treated to a presentation on a newly configured instructional model for students entering the first grade at Ed Fenn School in the fall. The power point talk was given at the board’s Tuesday night meeting, after parents of incoming first graders had been shown the same pre-

sentation a week prior.

Board member, Greg Corrigan shared his feelings with board as a parent of an incoming first grader.

“I attended as a parent and was excited,” he said.

He gave the school staff kudos for not “locking themselves in a classroom” when determining the best way to teach.

According to first grade teachers, Tricia Walsh and see GRS page 3

BERLIN -- Isaacson Structural Steel yesterday temporarily furloughed its shop employees but expects to have them back at work Monday morning.

Company CFO Steve Griffin said the furlough effects the 72 employees who work in the shop.

The company’s administrative staff, project management, and warehouse employees are still working.

The company released a statement attributing its action to the tough economic times facing the construction industry.

“Due to challenging conditions in the construction industry that have spared no companies, Isaacson is in the process of restructuring some of its debts and arranging for new financing to allow it to continue to provide the high quality services and products that has been its hallmark in the northeast construction industry. The company’s owners, Arnie Hanson and Steve Griffin, are committing all available resources and using their best efforts to ensure that Isaacson can continue to meet its obligations to customers and most importantly to its loyal employees,” the statement said.

Mark Belanger, manager of the Berlin office of N.H. Employment Security, said Isaacson has been in touch with his office and is keeping the state informed of the situation.

“If they need us, we’re there for them,” he said. “You can’t ask for two guys more concerned about the welfare of their workforce,” Belanger said of Griffin and Hanson.

BERLIN -- For the first time, residents of the upper Androscoggin River will have an opportunity to pick up a popular poster-sized map of the river.

The Androscoggin River Alliance will be distributing the map this Saturday, June 18, from noon to 4 p.m. at the Berlin and Coos County Historical Society’s Moffett House at 119 High Street.

Neil Ward, executive director of the Androscoggin River Alliance, explained that the map was originally printed two years ago and has been reprinted several times. He said the alliance, which is based in Lewiston, Maine, has never had a chance to come to the Berlin area before to distribute it.

The 18” by 24” map is designed to educate the public about some of the history and culture of the river that has its start at Lake Umbagog and runs 178 miles through New Hampshire and see MAP page 9

The homework revolt GALLOWAY, N.J. — After Donna Cushlanis’s son, who was in second grade, kept bursting into tears midway through his math problems, which one night took over an hour, she told him not to do all of his homework.

“How many times do you have to add seven plus two?” Ms. Cushlanis, 46, said. “I have no problem with doing homework, but that put us both over the edge.”

Ms. Cushlanis, a secretary for the Galloway school district, complained to her boss, Annette C. Giaquinto, the superintendent. It turned out that the district, which serves 3,500 kindergarten through eighth-grade students, was already re-evaluating its homework practices.

The school board will vote this summer on a proposal to limit weeknight homework to 10 minutes for each year of school — 20 minutes for second graders, an hour for sixth graders, and so forth — and ban assignments on weekends, holidays and school vacations.

Galloway, northwest of Atlantic City, is part of a wave of districts across the nation trying to remake homework amid concerns that highstakes testing and competition for college have fueled a nightly grind that is stressing out children and depriving them of play and rest, yet doing little to raise achievement, particularly in elementary grades.

Obama argues War Powers Act does not apply to Libya

— courtesy dictionary.com

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

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The White House is telling Congress that President Obama has the legal authority to continue American participation in the NATO-led air war in Libya, even though lawmakers have not authorized it.

In a broader package of materials the Obama administration is sending to Congress on Wednesday

defending its Libya policy, the White House, for the first time, offers lawmakers and the public an argument for why Mr. Obama has not been violating the War Powers Resolution since May 20.

On that day, the Vietnamera law’s 60-day deadline for terminating unauthorized hostilities appeared to pass.

But the White House argued that the activities of United

States military forces in Libya do not amount to full-blown “hostilities” at the level necessary to involve the section of the War Powers Resolution that imposes the deadline.

“We are acting lawfully,” said Harold Koh, the State Department legal adviser, who expanded on the administration’s reasoning in a joint interview with White House Counsel Robert Bauer.

Civilians flee another Northern Syria town GUVECCI, Turkey (NY Times) — Hundreds fled a town in northern Syria on Wednesday that appeared to be the next target of a military seeking to crush a three-month uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, activists said, joining thousands already displaced in a growing crisis that has embarrassed the Syrian government.

In a succession of often bloody operations, the Syrian military has sent tanks and soldiers to the country’s most restive areas. This week, forces were deployed to eastern Syria, a region that borders Iraq and is knit by extended

clans, as well as the northern town, Ma’arrat an Nu’man, which is on the highway between Damascus, the capital, and Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city.

Though the Syrian military said its forces had yet to enter the town, activists said hundreds of residents, and perhaps more, had already begun heading to other Syrian cities and the Turkish border. Insan, a Syrian human rights group, said that security forces detained 17 people on Wednesday as they left the town, a historic site in Syria.

States brace for end of extra payments for Medicaid

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Faced with a deepening recession two years ago, the Obama administration injected billions of dollars into Medicaid, the nation’s lowincome health program. The money runs out at the end of this month, and benefits are being cut for millions of people, even though unemployment has increased.

From New Jersey to California, state officials are bracing for the end to more than $90 billion in federal largess specifically designated for Medicaid. To hold down costs, states are cutting Medicaid payments to doctors and hospitals, limiting benefits for Medicaid recipients, reducing the scope of covered services, requiring beneficiaries to pay larger co-payments and expanding the use of managed care.

As a result, costs can be expected to rise in other parts of the health care system. Cuts in Medicaid payments to doctors, for example, make it less likely that they will accept Medicaid patients and more likely that people will turn to hospital emergency rooms for care.

Police commission discusses, hiring, grants, improvements

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — Station improvements, new hires and grant funding were just a few of the topics discussed at the monthly meeting of the Berlin Police Commission on Thursday, June 9.

Commissioners Tony Urban and Jerry Nault as well as Police Chief Peter Morency and Deputy Chief Brian Valerino were joined by City Councilor Mike Rozek at the table for their quarterly evening meeting.

The commission typically meets in the morning, except for once every three months. Commissioner Steve Griffin was not physically present due to illness, but participated in the meeting via speakerphone.

Rozek was invited to offer any feedback he might have on the budget in light of an impending special meeting by the City Council to look at finalizing the upcoming year’s budget that was scheduled for June 13. As of June 6, the police department has spent 87.1 percent of their 2011 budget, with 93.4 percent of the fiscal year gone, according to the department’s monthly finance report.

The commission officially welcomed and confirmed the hire of Berlin’s newest police officer, Joe Priest, who was present for the introduction. Priest last worked for Littleton Police and is a fully certified officer with numerous additional certifications, Morency explained. Priest is a graduate of Hesser College and Iraq veteran who is married with two children.

Morency called him a “good fit” with family ties to the community.

Priest’s hire was unanimously confirmed.

The commission was also informed that oral boards were held on Thursday in anticipation of the next hiring process. The oral exam follows a written and physical evaluation. Three promising candidates were identified through the process Morency said.

Urban pointed out that the commissioners see only identification numbers during the hiring process and not names. Nault applauded

the department for making every effort to reduce training expenses by hiring experienced officers. “It’s a pleasure for me as a commissioner to welcome an officer with a tremendous amount of experience,” he said.

Electrical work is underway to connect a generator at the police station that will help maintain reliable communications during an emergency. Morency said the work is on scheduled and is 100 percent grant funded. “I am anxious to have it up and running,” he said.

Rozek noted that the generator will be critical to police operations and communications on the occasion of a catastrophic event where power is lost.

Bathroom renovations are also planned on the first floor of the police station. Morency explained that the money had been set aside a number of years ago to work on the bathroom, but at that time the bids came in too high. The project was recently put out to bid again and they are looking more in line with the budgeted amount, he said. Bids for the work are being accepted until June 17.

Repairs to two police cruisers damaged when a suspect rammed them last month will cost the city around $2000. Morency reported that two of the newer Crown Victorias had been damaged in the incident with the damage to the first estimated at $1123 and the second at $900. He explained that since there is a $1,000 deductible on each vehicle the department will bear the cost of repair and will attempt to get restitution from the offender.

A number of grant awards were announced, including $7,740 for DWI enforcement, $5,000 for OHRV enforcement on roadways, $3,150 for OHRV enforcement in parks, and $12,000 for underage drinking enforcement.

In other business, Morency announced that a letter of retirement was received from Lt. Karl Nelson. Nelson’s retirement will be effective as of July 29. “He will be missed,” Morency said.

Nicole McAllister, who authored the power point and answered questions alongside Ed Fenn Assistant Principal Karen Moore, the new system will include a co-teaching model. Co-teaching involves treating the first grade students as one class for part of their instructional time, so broad concepts are taught to the group as a whole and then the children are divided into smaller groups by ability in order to be able to access the curriculum at their own level. This will also allow children who need one-on-one attention to receive that as well, the teachers explained. By combining the class, it allows the four adults — two classroom teachers, one paraprofessional and a Title I educator — to target their instruction by providing both remediation for those who need it and enrichment for those who need to be further challenged.

Walsh and McAllister explained that for reading instruction, while the teachers work with their small groups in 10 to 15 minute blocks, the students waiting for their group instruction will be occupied by the “Daily 5” — a choice of five independent activities designed to strengthen their reading skills.

The Daily 5 includes reading to self, reading to someone, working with words, writing, and listening to reading. As for math instruction, the teachers explained that using the “Everyday Math” program the entire first grade would receive combined instruction in a single room, with a Smartboard

(computerized whiteboard). Then they would break into small group guided practices, small group enrichments and smaller group and one-on-one instruction where needed. Among the benefits to the change, Walsh and McAllister said, will be the ability to make the curriculum accessible to all students at all levels. Ed Fenn Principal noted also, that more and more students seem to be coming into kindergarten “not quite ready,” leaving them behind the curve before they even get started. This program, the women said, seeks to help make up some of that gap.

The comment on readiness from Cloutier sparked a brief discussion on pre-school. Superintendent Paul Bousquet noted that Milan is the only SAU school to offer pre-school and their program is grant funded.

He added that the pre-school topic is one that the SAU should keep an eye on and noted that there is a committee in Coos using Tillotson Foundation money to look into preschool for all of Coos County.

Board member Sue Demers asked how much has been spent on special education for pre-school aged children in the district annually. Business manager Pauline Plourde said that $116,468 was spent last year (roughly $80,000 budgeted), and $63,000 has been spent so far this year (roughly $91,000 budgeted).

Plourde noted, however, that not all of that money would translate into classroom instruction as some of the outside services would still be required.

Keeping the faith

She was a well groomed, alert, pleasant woman in her mid-80s who “presented to the Emergency Room” — in correct medical history parlance — with sudden onset of severe abdominal pain. Her blood pressure and physical examination findings pointed to a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.

In layman’s terms, the main, large blood vessel in her abdomen had burst and was leaking blood into her surrounding tissues.

A quick ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis and the cardio-vascular surgeon was paged to the ER. I walked into the room where she lay, surrounded by anxious family. The usual accoutrements of modern medical care were in place: the intravenous line to her arm (although in this case given the surgical emergency her condition represented, there was one IV in each arm); the “monitor,” tethered to her by a tangled spaghetti of wires ending at the prescribed places on her chest, fingertip and upper arm. There, a dull grey “cuff ” cycled every few minutes updating the blood pressure reading on the screen. On the wall view-box hung the X-rays of her chest and abdomen, the latter hinting strongly at the by now confirmed diagnosis. The bright red Sears Roebuck “code cart” — identical to those in most auto repair shops, but with slightly different contents — had been moved from its usual corner parking place to the left side of the bed — just in case. The “phlebo tech” (lab technician whose job it was to draw blood for various and sundry tests) was arranging her test tubes, each capped with a different color stopper, affixing the patient identifying labels. The nurse was already asking “when” I planned to take Mrs. —— to the OR. Mrs. —— was understandably apprehensive but smiled with acquiescence as I asked for two minutes to review her chart, a sheaf of papers on a clipboard. The story contained therein was crucial: diabetes, a history of heart, lung and kidney troubles, previous abdominal operations. The “surgical risk calculator” in my mind spun quickly, not unlike the numbers on a gasoline pump as the gallons go in. It became apparent that the risk of operation was very high and, I knew, would increase as I examined her and discovered other facts and findings. Of course, the risk of not operating approached 100 percent — this was a nearly universally fatal condition.

I introduced myself to Mrs. —— and her family members, identifying myself as “the surgeon.” I briefly examined her abdomen, extremities, chest, neck, experience telling me what I would uncover, even as I looked for a finding that might perhaps lower the risk. There was none; the mental “risk meter” climbed ever higher, far into “the red zone.” I stepped back, grabbed a piece of paper and started to slowly explain to her and her family what was happening.

I drew a picture, something I had learned to always do from one of my mentors years before. After all, he had said, “you’re a stranger, asking permission to cut someone open on the basis of a white coat and a 10-minute conversation — the least you can do is draw a picture of what you expect to find in there.” As I spoke, I came out from behind the curtain of medico-doctor speak,

the jargon that my colleagues and I understood, but which tended to mask things for those not well versed in such curious terminology. So the word rupture was jettisoned, the word “burst” used in its stead. Complications, morbidity and mortality became, respectively, things that could go wrong, other problems that affect the outcome, and death. I outlined the alternatives, which were reduced to operating at high risk, or not operating, with virtually certain death.

Years of being the bearer of good and not so good news had taught me to control my emotions when the latter was the case, but the inner toll is known only to those privileged to have been in that position. Mrs. — understood clearly what I was saying — her eyes confirmed that. Her family slowly grasped the core of my message.

“What,” she asked, “are some of the things that could go wrong during and after surgery?” I listed them, a litany of problems, large and small, each invariably entailing more time in the Intensive Care Unit, more invasive interventions (read machines) and the like. “And the odds of my getting out of here intact and able to return to my family?”

“I can only give you an estimate — you may fall in either camp.”

“And the estimate of success?”

“20 percent at best.”

She looked at me, at her family, thought for a minute and then declared her life heretofore to have been a full one, rich in experience and purpose. She had lived her life protected and sustained by her religious faith, she said, and she would continue to put her trust in that faith. She would not attempt to run the gauntlet of emergency aortic surgery, the risks of kidney shutdown, heart attack, stroke, loss of lower extremities, prolonged support on a ventilator. She asked to be kept comfortable and be allowed to spend the remaining time with her family. She also asked that when the time came, that I try to be there.

I admitted her, prescribed medications to control her blood pressure, alleviate pain and allow her to remain comfortable and conscious. Even though I knew she had made what I thought to be the “right decision,” the weight of defeat in the battle for life was about me. She was there on morning rounds for two days; on the second evening — it always seems to be evening — the call came that she was deteriorating. I went to the hospital and entered her family-filled room. She looked at me, asked if it were time and upon seeing my nodding head, grabbed my hand and held it, looking into my eyes as she slowly slipped away, the peace of the faithful upon her face.

I had seen that look of faith before. In both the living and the dying, it was an unmistakable expression. I had noticed many times that the bearers of that look did better when things were going well — and did better when things were not going well. I had gazed down on a beating heart many times. There was always more than simply muscle, blood, living tissue at play.

There was always the same look — faith resides here.

Lennie Gallant in concert at St. Kieran Arts Center

BERLIN --Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Lennie Gallant, will take the spotlight at the St. Kieran Arts Center on Monday, June 20 at 7 p.m. This top Franco-Acadian’s repertoire includes both English and French songs and a warm, heartfelt style.

Tickets are $12 adults/$6 students at the door.

A native of Prince Edward Island, now living in Nova Scotia, Gallant is recognized by his peers as one of Canada’s best performing songwriters. He is a prolific songwriter in French and English and has recorded nine albums, which have won him a host of awards and nominations from both the JUNOs and East Coast Music Awards. His album “When We Get There” went into space aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour in July 2009. Canadian astronaut Julie Payette chose the album for the astronaut crew to enjoy.

Gallant was inducted into the Order of Canada where, it was said, he “has garnered much respect for his hard-hitting songs chronicling the lives of people dealing with tremendous adversity...and at the same time celebrate the beauty of lifestyle and landscape with their strong poetry and stirring narratives.”

More than 30 artists, including Jimmy Buffett, have recorded Gallant’s songs internationally. His songs have also appeared in feature films, some of which include “Canvas,” starring Academy Awardwinner Marcia Gay Harden and Joe Pantoliano, and “Mademoiselle Voulez Vous Danser,” recorded by Jimmy Buffet. His songs have been used in the television series “Dawson’s Creek” (“Northern Lights”) and “Joan of Arcadia” (“Something Unspoken”) as well as in numerous theatrical productions.

Besides writing all the songs on his nine albums, Gallant co-wrote the theme song for the first World Conference/Congres Mondial Acadien (“Acadie de nos couer”) and for Pier 21, Canada’s immigration gateway. He was also asked to write a song for Halifax’s 250th anniversary (“History is Happening Now”), which was then performed with a choir of 2000 voices on one of two

Lois M. Fournier –––––––––––––––– SERVICE ––––––––––––––––

BERLIN - Funeral services for Mrs. Lois M. Fournier, 86, of 164 Madigan St., Berlin, NH, were held on June 13, 2011 at St. Anne Church of Good Shepherd Parish, following prayers at the Bryant Funeral Home. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated by Reverend Marc Montminy. Interment was in the Mt. Calvary Cemetery where Father Montminy read the committal prayers.

The gifts were presented by Alexa Micklovich and Lauren Fournier, the readings were done by Wilfrid Fournier, Jr., and Kathy Moore and Spencer Supry sang.

The pallbearers were Kevin Fournier, Keith Fournier, Shawn Fournier, Nicholas Fournier, Noah Fournier, Chris Fournier, Spencer Supry and Tyler Supry. Many relatives and friends attended the service.

VISIONING from page one

At Tuesday’s board meeting, the Superintendent Corinne Cascadden said the school board wanted to be sure any easement would not prohibit plans for a wood boiler and a bus garage at the high school, which is part of the Jasper parcel. Manikian said the proposal is to use the same boundaries as the overlay zone, which does not include the property of concern to the school district. Cascadden said the school board approved the easement but also indicated it would be happy if nothing was done.

Larry Gomes, assistant trail master for the White Mountains Ridge Runners, outlined where the snowmobile club has plans to relocate portions of its cross county trail.

Tony Urban and Barry Kelley discussed their concerns about an easement. Kelley asked why the city needs to put an easement on land it owns. He questioned whether there is any threat to the property.

Kelley called the Jasper property a “diamond in the rough” and spoke against ATV use on the discussion area.

Urban said the property may have future value for the school district for programs such as forestry and recreation that are not operating now but might be looked at in the future. He said the city does not need another layer of bureaucracy to deal with which he felt an easement would present.

City Councilor Lucie Remillard said she could see both sides of the easement issue. She said she favors a hiking trail but opposes motorized access to the summit At the same time, she said she does not want any limitation on the future development of the school system. Remillard said she favors language that would allow both objectives to be met.

Local ATV rider Rene Boutin urged the board not to rule out future ATV access.

City Councilor Tom McCue, who serves as the council’s representative to the board, noted some common concerns have surfaced in the discussion.

He said an easement is not the only way to protect the property. He said there are other mechanisms that would allow for periodic review of any restrictions. He said one idea might be a resolution that would have to be re-approved every 50 years.

Kelly suggested the first thing needed is a map showing the trails, overlay zone, and property lines.

Manikian said she will have one for the first subcommittee meeting. She said the Jasper property is valuable because it is a piece of undeveloped land in the middle of an urban area. She said she is glad to get people talking about it.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis ask for forgiveness later.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to go where the sun is hot and the sunbathers are cool. However, there is work to be done before such leisure can easily happen. Get busy, and you’ll soon be able to have your fun.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You are open and ready for new experiences, and life comes rushing in to greet you. You will look back on this time period and know that you did something utterly fantastic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Fun is contagious. Unfortunately, it is equally subjective. What one person thinks is hilarious may fall flat with the next person. So consider your audience before you forward that e-mail!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You do not always feel generous with your resources, but if you have something to give, it doesn’t feel good to hold it back with a tight fist. Your innate generosity always prevails in the end.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are a master of understatement. Do not let this tendency lead you into total silence, though. People need to hear from you, or they will forget you’re out there. Speak up.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 16).

Dare to speak up about what you want and what you think should happen.

You have influence over others, and the better you get at expressing yourself the stronger this power becomes.

Your insistence on quality will improve your lifestyle. Finances look bright in July. Travel happens in September and December. Leo and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 25, 12, 39 and 18.

Cul de Sac

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Be vigilant in protecting your own freedom and autonomy. Don’t let the noise of friends and old relationships taint the development of something new.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may be the only one who understands you today, but don’t take that as a negative omen. It really means that you are either far ahead of your time, or thinking on a deeper level than others can readily get to now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is someone who dotes on you, and it’s nice to know that you come first in this person’s mind. You don’t require this much emotional security and reassurance on a regular basis, but right now it feels quite nice.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Mercury’s current transit has you feeling loose and lively, which will be more appropriate for some relationships than it is for others. Use discretion and restraint.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a great deal of self-control when a relationship is proceeding nicely. But bumps in the relationship road may cause you to seek external security.

Remind yourself that real security comes from within.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You make sense of illogical and disparate ideas. The random thoughts a friend expresses at times will prove to have some semblance of order, meaning and importance to you, after all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You take orders well and follow the rules as much as possible. However, circumstances do arise from time to time that require immediate action. Don’t wait for permission. Go for it -- and if necessary

by Abigail Van Buren

ELUSIVE MR. RIGHT TURNS OUT TO BE MISS RIGHT INSTEAD

DEAR ABBY: I have never been moved to write in response to a letter until I read “Concerned About My Girl in Kentucky” (May 9). It was from a mom who was worried that while her daughter “Celia” had no problem attracting men, she has a problem keeping them.

My intelligent, caring, creative, adventurous and beautiful daughter had successful, handsome and wonderful men throwing themselves at her. A couple of dates and they were never heard from again. When I asked, “What’s the problem?” she would shrug her shoulders. I thought she was being too picky, and when the right man came along he’d sweep her off her feet and all would be well.

One day, my daughter came to me and said she had met someone. I said, “Tell me about him.” She replied, “Who said it has to be a ‘him’?” My daughter was just as surprised as I was to discover she is a lesbian.

She is now in a relationship with a wonderful woman. I’m glad she realized this at 25 instead of 55, after living a life that wasn’t hers because she thought that was what was “expected.” She’s happy now, and so am I. -- PROUD MOM IN ROCHESTER, N.Y. DEAR PROUD MOM: Thank you for sharing your daughter’s happy revelation. The following responses may offer other interesting insights for “Concerned” to consider. Read on: DEAR ABBY: You suggested Celia ask her friends for feedback. My very attractive friend “Jan” has had two failed marriages and four short-term relationships. In the last five years, she has had many first dates -- only.

She asks, “What is wrong with these guys? Don’t they know what they want?” None of us will respond because Jan

isn’t really looking for an answer, and we’re all afraid of being the target of her wrath. It’s ALWAYS the other person’s fault.

When a friend tries to be helpful by offering gently worded suggestions, this friend gets her head bitten off and returned on a platter.

Some people don’t want to improve themselves because they’re content to complain and blame someone else instead of taking their own inventory. -- BACKING OFF IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR ABBY: My mother’s dream was to have all her children married with six or more children and living happily ever after in wedded bliss. MY dream was to live alone with five dogs in a quiet, rural area. “Concerned” may be putting too much pressure on her daughter, causing her to rush into relationships and scaring the men away. Celia needs to sit down and figure out what she wants for herself. Then, maybe, the man of her dreams will come to her. -- REALISTIC READER IN MICHIGAN DEAR ABBY: I had a friend in college who was smart, beautiful, funny and a great cook. But she rarely had a second date. Her problem was she never shut up! She was constantly talking and, even when engaged in a conversation, she would frequently interrupt and carry on without listening to the other person. If she had asked me why men avoided her, I would have told her the truth, but I was never given the chance. -- IS IT MY TURN TO TALK? DEAR ABBY: Speaking as a guy who has regretfully had to pass on three “Celias,” I know there is one likely possibility that her friends may not realize or have the heart to tell her: Lose the cats. -- NOT A DEVOTEE OF CHAIRMAN MEOW

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

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

CONCORD -- The Campbell Cougars scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning, erasing a two run deficit, and went on to defeat the Berlin Mountaineers 6-5 in the boys Division IV semi-final baseball playoffs in Concord Monday. The loss ended the playing careers for several seniors players.

Berlin jumped out to a 4-0 lead by scoring two runs in the second and third innings. In the second, Zach Bacon and Elijah Hawkins singled, and Alec Jones walked to load the bases. After two strike outs, Ryan Richard stroked a single for two RBIs and

However, a Campbell pickoff of a Berlin base runner, and a groundout had two Mountie runners in scoring position with two outs. A pass ball scored a runner from third base. An attempted throw to get Mountie runner Eric Godin at the plate went wide and allowed Bacon to score from second base to put Berlin up by four.

Campbell finally scored in the top of the fifth inning. A double, an error, and a fielder’s choice got the third ranked Cougars on the score board. Berlin matched the run in the bottom of the fifth. Bacon

doubled plating the tying and goahead runs for Campbell, who now led 6-5.

Berlin opened the bottom of the seventh with a Godin hit. Campbell’s freshman pitcher Connor Sahmen buckled down recording a strikout, a pop out, and a soft liner, to eliminate the Mountaineers from further advancement in the tournament.

“We had our chances,” said Berlin skipper Dan Brigham. “Our seniors had a very successful season and they were a great group of young men that just got better every time out on the field.”

It also meant the final time that coach Brigham would be standing in the coach’s box at third base for the Berlin Mountaineers.

Brigham’s first season as a head coach was back in 1980. Brigham coached an untalented senior by the name of Jean LeBlanc. Coach Brigham taught the game of base-

ball the way it should be played to all of his players, whether they were a super star or average at best. That is a coaching trait that I have unselfishly taken from him and used myself for the last five seasons in Gorham. Coach Brigham taught more than baseball, he taught sportsmanship and team play and has touched hundreds players over his thirty years of mentoring. This is just one of his players who had the honor of playing for coach Brigham. Congrats coach on truly passing on your legacy to so many players. May you have continued success in whatever the future holds for you. Sincerely Gorham Huskie coach Jean LeBlanc and the Gorham Huskie baseball team.

Needless to say their journey was totally awe inspiring. According to Gayle “Returning to Egypt was totally incredible especially when you see all of the discoveries made in the past few years. The newest and most memorable discovery is the Sphinx lined road connecting the great temples of Luxor and Karnak. A reunion cruise is planned for next year.

apiece. Justin Vien, Corey Hood and Kyle Frenette chipped in with two base hits. Donavan Aube scored twice on a hit and a walk. The other Sox hit came off the bat of Leo Croteau. Isaac Balderrama was the starting pitcher and faced just 7 batters in his 2 innings. He was followed by Vien and Labrecque.

The Astros were able to muster just 3 hits with those coming from Damon Ruel, Chanse Vodvarka and John Arguin. Vodvarka also walked twice for a perfect night.

In the other semi-final game the Phillies waited until their final at bat to walk off with a 3 - 2 victory over the Dodgers from Gorham. The visiting Dodgers opened with a bang off starter Evan Arsenault as Hunter Desilets and Kyle Berwick singled and Desilets scored on a sharp single

by Sam Sjostrom. Runners moved to second and third on a wild pitch but were left stranded as Arsenault got tough and struck out the side. The Dodgers doubled their lead in the fourth as Sjostrom led the inning with a triple into the right field corner and scored on a wild pitch. The Phillies cut the lead in half in their half of the fourth when Arsenault led off with a single and was able to complete the tour of the bases on a wild pitch and two passed balls. This set the stage for the climatic ending in the sixth.

James Essig, Jr. started the rally with a single to right, Andrew Coulombe was able to work starter and complete game pitcher, Desilets, for a walk. Then it was time for younger brother, Sam Essig to belt a game winning, two run double to center field. Sam was also the winning pitched as he hurled the final two innings. Coulombe pitched the middle two innings and struck out

six. The first hit for the Phillies came in the third on a sharp single by Brett Anderson. Desilets was a hard luck losing pitcher as he went the distance giving up just four hits, walking three and fanning four. He was aided by a sharp defense headlined by a great stop in the second inning by Kyle Berwick. In fact neither team committed an error in one of the best played games of the season. The offensive star for the Dodgers was Sjostrom with a perfect three for three.

The championship game was all Red Sox. Balderrama was again the starting pitcher and retired the side 1-2-3. Coulombe opened on the mound for the Phils but after a single by Cochran, ran into a streak of wildness and walked three in a row.

tion. St. Hilare fought off an inside pitch and dropped it in front of a diving left fielder, plating two runs for a 2-0 Huskie advantage.

The game stayed that way until the bottom of the third inning. With one out, Sunapee lead-off batter Noah Skarin walked and stole second base.

After a ground out for the second out, Troy Fowler stroked a base hit to cut Gorham’s lead to 2-1.

The Huskies responded by scoring twice in the top of the fourth inning.

Gorham tried to make a come-back in the bottom of the sixth inning. With two outs and two on, senior Brandon Sanschagrin hit a 400 foot bomb to the warning track in dead center field.

However, Sunapee was playing deep and centerfielder, PJ Wachatz, caught the long fly with eaze, ending any thought of a Gorham comeback.

Gauthier held Sunapee off the scoreboard in the sixthe inning. In the top of the seventh, new Indian pitcher Matt McAloster set the Gorham boys down in order, ending the season.

“The kids had a terrific season,” said Huskie coach, Jean LeBlanc.

“They are feeling terrible right now because they know its over. 14-2, 16-0, 11-7, and 15-3 is a heck of an accomplishment for our seniors during their career. They made it to the final four two years and at least to the quarter-finals in all four years.

Gorham is going to miss them dearly, not just because of their ability to play the game, but for their leadership.”

For seniors Bobby Langlands, Cody LeBlanc, Brandon Sanschagrin, and Doug Willey, it was the final time in their athletic careers’ in the Huskie blue.

Mother Nature outlasts Riverside Speedway Sat. GROVETON -- Riverside Speedway did their best to get round #1 of the Bond Auto Parts Triple Crown racing series underway this past Saturday night in Groveton. However, Mother Nature had other ideas and after several hours of waiting, management pulled the plug and moved the event to this coming weekend.

“We had 23 Street Stocks that were ready to go to battle,” said General Manager Jean LeBlanc. “We had cars from Thunder Road, WMMP, Oxford, and Riverside Speedways ready to run for the $500 top prize. Some of the area tracks had cancelled early and we had a solid field of Late Models, ready to do battle, with names like Randy Potter, Quinney Welch, the Mason boys, Russ Clark, Jeff Marshall, Jesse Switser, Luke Shannon and our weekly racers.

We tried hard to get the event started.

We just didn’t get the break in the weather we were looking for.”

That has the speedway preparing for a sensational night of racing this coming Saturday night June 18, starting at 5 p.m.

“This Saturday we will be celebrating Town & Country Motor Inn/Bond Auto Parts and Amoskeag Beverage night,” said LeBlanc. We will be running the first leg of the Bond Auto Parts Triple Crown series for the Street Stocks. Also on the card will be the triple 25 features for the Twisted Tea Dwarf cars, who have invited some of the top Dwarf car drivers in New England to take on the locals. In addition, the Super Stocks will open the night with a make-up feature from two weeks ago. The JA Corey/US Cellular Outlaws are in action and the division has doubled in size to 15 cars.

The Griffin Family Angels and the Daredevils will also be involved making the race card as one of the busiest in the North Country.”

Pit gates open at 1 p.m. with practice set for 2 p.m. grandstand will open at 3 p.m. For all of your up to the minute racing news, visit the web site at www. riversidespeedway.org.

Riverside Speedway is a PASS sanctioned and ACT affiliated ¼ high banked asphalt track located off of Brown Road in Groveton, NH.
