River Day/Wingzilla celebrates the Androscoggin BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN—Besides offering a smorgasbord of BBQ’d chicken wings, the 2011 Wingzilla on Saturday had a whole new look: an emphasis on the Androscoggin River. If it hadn’t been for an early morning rain, perhaps more contestants would have taken part in the “Boat Float” from the Nansen State Park to

the Northern Forest Heritage Park, but, as it was, about six paddle boats cruised downriver to the park. Thanks to the North Woods Rafting folks, all day there were big kayaks and canoes at the NFHP float docks for people to try out on the river—as well as NFHP float boat rides up the river and horse and wagon rides along the river, all for free. Various exhibits offered a chance to catch river

critters, a look at the pelts of animals that live in the forests and along the river, and maps and information about boating and fishing on the Androscoggin. The main attraction, of course, were the wings. Five contestants were set up, under tents, cooking up a storm where everyone could see. There was Mark Belanger, at his Androscogsee WINGZILLA page 8

BERLIN — A vacant home on Western Avenue was severely damaged in an early morning fire on June 19. Firefighters were called to the home at 498 Western Avenue at 1:58 a.m. on Sunday morning. The first crew of four firefighters arrived to find the singlefamily home engulfed in heavy fire. A general alarm, that spurred response from additional off-duty firemen and the call company, was generated prior to the first truck arriving on scene, according to Chief Randy Trull. The home was not occupied, but was for sale and actively being shown, Trull said. The doors were locked and power was still connected, he noted. Trull said the cause and origin of the

War evolves with drones WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (NY Times) — Two miles from the cow pasture where the Wright Brothers learned to fly the first airplanes, military researchers are at work on another revolution in the air: shrinking unmanned drones, the kind that fire missiles into Pakistan and spy on insurgents in Afghanistan, to the size of insects and birds. The base’s indoor flight lab is called the “microaviary,” and for good reason. The drones in development here are designed to replicate the flight mechanics of moths, hawks and other inhabitants of the natural world. “We’re looking at how you hide in plain sight,” said Greg Parker, an aerospace engineer, as he held up a prototype of a mechanical hawk that in the future might carry out espionage or kill. Half a world away in Afghanistan, Marines marvel at one of the new blimplike spy balloons that float from a tether 15,000 feet above one of the bloodiest outposts of the war, Sangin in Helmand Province. The balloon, called an aerostat, can transmit live video — from as far as 20 miles away — of insurgents planting homemade bombs. The Pentagon now has some 7,000 aerial drones, compared with fewer than 50 a decade ago. Within the next decade the Air Force anticipates a decrease in manned aircraft but expects its number of “multirole” aerial drones to nearly quadruple, to 536.

Justices rule for Wal-Mart in bias case

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

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Supreme Court on Monday threw out the largest employment discrimination case in the nation’s history. The suit, against WalMart Stores, had sought to consolidate the claims of as many as 1.5 million women on the theory that the company had discriminated against them in pay and promotion decisions. The lawsuit sought back pay that could

have amounted to billions of dollars. But the Supreme Court, in a decision that was unanimous on this point, said the plaintiffs’ lawyers had improperly sued under a part of the class action rules that was not primarily concerned with monetary claims. The court did not decide whether WalMart had in fact discriminated against the women, only that they could not proceed as a class. The court’s decision on that

Assad offers path to change in Syria, but few specifics BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — In his first address in two months, President Bashar al-Assad of Syria on Monday offered a national dialogue that he said could usher in change to a country where his party and family have monopolized authority for four decades. Deep skepticism greeted the proposal, and even some who were sympathetic to the leadership said they doubted that Mr. Assad was ready to surrender absolute power, at least for now. But as the country wrestles with its gravest crisis in a generation, the question remains:

If the government is in fact sincere, whom would it talk to? An opposition abroad, without set leaders or programs, which sought to organize in meetings in Turkey and Europe, has ruled out engaging the government. Many activists who claim to speak for a street shaken by three months of protests are too afraid to surface aboveground. Even opposition figures in Damascus who have talked with officials lately said Monday that they would not attend the dialogue Mr. Assad outlined until security forces ended their crackdown.

issue will almost certainly affect all sorts of other class-action suits, including ones asserting antitrust, securities and product liability violations. In a broader question in the Wal-Mart case, the court divided 5-to-4 along ideological lines on whether the suit satisfied a requirement of the class-action rules that “there are questions of law or fact common to the class.”

Debate swirls around research showing lung problems for troops (NY Times) — An emerging body of research indicates a significant number of American service members who are reporting respiratory problems like coughing, wheezing or chest pains that started during deployment and continued after they returned home. In 2009, a major survey of military personnel, the Millennium Cohort Study, found that 14 percent of troops who had deployed reported new breathing problems, compared with 10 percent among those who had not deployed. Though the percentage difference seems small, when extrapolated for the two million troops who have deployed since 2001, the survey suggested that at least 80,000 additional service members had developed post-deployment breathing problems. Scientists, many working for the government, say that a large number of returning troops have serious and potentially lifelong ailments, but officials with the Pentagon and the Department of Veterans Affairs assert that research remains inconclusive.

James Moffat Donell, M.D. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OBITUARY –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

GORHAM – Dr. James Moffat Donnell (Jim) died on Friday evening, June 17, 2011, at his home in Gorham, NH, at the age of 79. He was born in Montreal, Quebec, the son of James M. and Ruby Donnell. James is survived by his devoted wife, Jean A. Donnell. Dr. Donnell graduated from McGill University with a BSc. honors in biochemistry at the age of 19 and continued on to attend McGill School of Medicine, graduating in 1955 with a gold medal in pediatrics. Dr. Donnell was a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Canada. He completed Resident training in internal medicine, pathology, surgery and research in McGill-affiliated teaching hospitals, in England, and at the University of Edinburgh with Sir Stanley Davidson. Dr. Donnell also was a commissioned Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, Captain in the Medical Corps and qualified Major in the 1st Medical Battalion Militia, after completing the Canadian Officers Training from 1951-1956. Jim grew up living between the Laurentians and the city of Montreal. He was an avid outdoorsman, and enjoyed skiing, golfing, hiking, hunting and fishing throughout his life. Jim was a valued racer on the McGill ski team in all alpine disciplines as well as Nordic and ski-jumping. He was a member of the Redbirds Ski Club in Canada. It was Jim’s passion for outdoor pursuits, combined with the practice of medicine, that lead him to an appointment in New Hampshire’s White Mountains where he practiced general surgery for forty-three years. In October 1964, Dr. Donnell joined the medical staff at the Hospital St. Louis in Berlin, NH. He worked closely with the nuns to provide patient care at a time when the cost of a hospital bed was $6.50 a night. In addition to his practice, he taught at the Hospital St. Louis School of Nursing. He was responsible for: the first transverse incision for a Caesarean section in northern New Hampshire (less disfiguring than a vertical incision); introducing esophageal and colonic flexible endoscopy; purchasing the first laparoscope for the Hospital; performing the first peritoneal dialysis; and using the first Bateman hip prosthesis. In the 1980s and 1990s, Dr. Don-

nell often spent two to five-week periods in Iqualuit, Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic as a visiting surgeon, where he flew to Inuit communities to provide medical surgical care. Dr. Donnell was still an honorary member of the medical staff of the Androscoggin Valley Hospital, in Berlin, at the time of his death. Jim was a master at knowing how to keep things simple, and prioritizing. He was meticulous, yet everaware of happenings Dr. James Moffat Donnell the world over. He held a deep concern for all creatures and devoted his life to continuous learning. He also enjoyed sharing knowledge with anyone willing to listen. Jim’s steadfast sense of humor and creative imagination gained him many lifelong friendships. He was a very wise, gentle, caring and kind physician, son, brother, husband, father and friend. He appreciated and fully enjoyed life, with the soul of an artist, the heart of a boy, and the strength and fortitude of a thousand ships. He is much loved, and will be greatly missed. In addition to his wife, Jim is survived by his children, daughter Jessica M. Donnell and life partner Tom Rousseau of Acton, Me., daughter Jean Anne Donnell of San Francisco, Calif., and daughter Irene M. Donnell of Intervale, NH. Jim is also survived by his sister Irene M. Slater, and husband John; sisters-in-law, Rep. Mary Stuart Gile and husband, Robert W., of Concord, NH, and Katherine I. Clancy of Palo Alto, Calif.; six nieces and two nephews. Jim was predeceased by his brother-in-law, Dr. Thomas P. Clancy of Palo Alto, Calif. A gathering of family, colleagues and friends will be held at the Town & Country Motor Inn in Shelburne on Sunday, June 26, from 4 to 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Jim’s memory to the charity of your choosing. Arrangements are by the Bryant Funeral Homes. To sign the online guestbook, please visit www. bryantfuneralhome.net

Milan woman injured in ATV accident BERLIN — A mechanical failure is being blamed for an ATV accident that injured a local woman over the weekend. Debra Becker, of Milan, was riding an ATV in Jericho State Park on June 19, at 1:30 p.m., when she was thrown from the machine. According to a New Hampshire Fish and Game press release, the left tie rod end on the ATV Becker was riding came apart. The vehicle then veered toward the ditch on the left side of the trail.

Becker sustained non-life threatening injuries to the left side of her body. She was transported to Androscoggin Valley Hospital for treatment. Authorities say that neither speed nor alcohol appear to be contributing factors in this incident. Fish and Game reminds riders to keep up maintenance on their ATVs and perform safety checks before riding. Riders are also reminded to wear protective riding gear.

Gorham playground anything but friendly To the editor: I have been bringing my children to the Gorham play ground for years, and in the past couple years it seems to have been a place where teenagers like to come and hang around. The sign says “Recommended for children 5-12 years old”. Yet these teenagers will come over and sit on the swings, or hang around the picnic tables, etc. Some may think this might not be a big deal, but actually it is. The way they talk and act is totally inappropriate for children. I have even personally made teenagers leave the playground, because they were being so obscene. They swear constantly using the F-word and other obscene words over and over again. They talk about the most disgusting sexual acts, etc. and the whole time all the little children at the play ground hear all this. My children get upset and offended by this. I brought them up to be respectful, and they don’t want to hear it. These teenagers also leave trash around, throw things,

and just cause problems. Just the other day a teenager 15 years old was on the swings spitting constantly over and over again large wads of spit. It was just nasty. On another day, I actually had a kid about 13 try to start an argument with me, just because he thought I was looking at him. I honestly could not believe it. I am disgusted by this and it is just getting worse. It seems like every time I go there now there are these problems. I think if Gorham is going to provide recreational services they need to monitor them so that families can come and enjoy themselves, and let their children play without having to deal with cursing, and perverted talking teenagers. I know there are similar problem within a surrounding town. It seems that today we live in a society that has very little class, and no respect for others. It is time people start standing up and saying something, and making good sound decisions to make a better tomorrow. J. Stone, Gorham

Once upon a Berlin Time No. 4 engine

1901

Hello fellow Berlinites. I would like to go back to Berlin 110 years ago and talk of the history that took place in this fast growing city. New Year’s Eve brought sadness to the people of Berlin, when a well known citizen, John Collin passed away. “Uncle John”, as he was known to all of his acquaintances, was a man of keen wit and relished a joke with the best of his class. I have read about Mr. Collin many times in both of Berlin’s newspapers of the late 1800s. He even had a column in the Berlin Independent in which he would express his views. John Collin was born in England, December 4, 1823 and came from that country to Shelburne, New Hampshire, to reside as a young man. He later moved to Gorham, engaged in a trade and had a profitable business, which later took a turn for the worse. In 1882, he sold his property and moved to the fast growing town of Berlin. He was one of the first land owners in what was known then as the “Heights District”. His house and land were on the same spot as Hillside Elementary School is today (2011), opposite the west entrance of Washington Street. In these days, this section of Hillside Avenue was called Collins Street. It is sure funny how we now have another Collins Street just over 120 years later. Mr. Collin was buried in Fred Clement the Berlin City cemetery. Both newspapers of January 1901, talked about a new industry that had just established itself in Berlin and was located on the East Side of the Androscoggin River. It was known as the Berlin Iron and Brass Foundry, later called the Berlin Foundry. Its proprietors at this time were George Harkins and John Mahern. Their first shop was built on Burgess Street, having a stack of chimneys. They were

Berlin Foundry

busily engaged in filling orders for castings of bronze, brass, lead, aluminum, etc. This new business had two furnaces and had a capacity of producing about 1,100 pounds per day, which could easily be doubled as business grew. Their place was a neat, compact building, fitted with cranes and other conveniences. At the opening, they employed four men and were receiving orders from Lancaster, Groveton and other locations, along with a large quantity of work coming from the local mills. They outgrew this building in just a few years and built another building on Goebel Street, where they still operate today (2011). By February of 1901, another business got under way in Berlin. It was called the Mead Manufacturing plant. This small industry was located in the Whitney Opera House on Mechanic Street, just above where Pleasant Street crosses. This business was a garment factory, which first started making overalls and then went open to make other products. I do not know how long this business operated. On February 4, 1901, an engine boiler exploded at about 10:15 am. An alarm of fire was sounded indicating a blaze in the vicin see 1901 page 5

ity of the No. 1 mill of the International Paper Company and a repetition of the alarm inferred that there was more than ordinary cause for distress. Upon investigation, it was found that the boiler of number 4 locomotive of this company, with engineer Edmond Guilmette at the throttle and Thomas Stone as brakeman was in serious trouble. While hauling two cars past No. 1 mill, the boiler suddenly exploded with great force and threw engineer Guilmette from the car amid a shower of burning coals and cinders. These hot embers penetrated the windows of the mill and instantly set fire to the interior of the machine room, creating a large blaze. The fire pump was immediately started and a mill crew including several members of the Berlin Fire department commenced fighting the flames. After being joined by others, the fire was finally extinguished. With this, they were now able to turn their attention to the train wreck and its occupants. A large crowd of people at once congregated around the wreckage and put brakeman Stone on a stretcher. It was noted that Stone had received serious injuries about his body and legs. He was immediately taken to his home, which was nearby and treated by Doctor Denison. The injured man was then transported to the Androscoggin Hospital on First Avenue, where it was found that both of his legs were broken, his hip was dislocated and his spine was also injured. Along with this, he was diagnosed with some internal damage. By 1 p.m. that same day Mr. Stone passed away due to his injuries. Engineer Guilmette fortunately escaped much bodily harm and was able to stay around during the cleanup. The engine was badly demolished, with the boiler head being thrown into the Androscoggin River. Many men were working in the vicinity of this explosion and somehow miraculously survived. Some men were hit by flying pieces, but escaped with very little injuries. Brakeman Thomas Stone, who was born in Canada, was only 24 years old, leaving a wife and three children to mourn him. Many engine boilers blew up during these days as they worked around the mills and they caused much bodily harm to the operators and surrounding employees. After writing my story about the

saloons of 1900 in last week’s story, I noticed that 1901 brought orders from the mayor and a majority of the city council to close their doors. Apparently, it was the purpose of the city fathers to keep them closed, as a step towards the betterment of moral conditions in Berlin. County Solicitor Goss stated that he would gladly institute proceedings against all places where proper evidence could be secured that liquor was being sold contrary to the law. This move was a complete surprise to those who were engaged in this type of business and many speculated as to what the future held for them. The general opinion that prevailed was that this new order would be the beginning of greatly improved conditions throughout the city of Berlin. Finally, the March election of 1901 produced the fourth mayor for this city. His name was Fred M. Clement. Mr. Clement was born in Deering, New Hampshire in 1854. After learning the business of photography in the mid 1870s, he eventually came to Berlin. Fred arrived here around 1882 and started the erection of what was known as the Clement Block on the corner of Main and Mason Streets, operating his photography business here. Clement remained here until 1888, when he sold out and went to Beecher Falls, Vermont, where he started a general store, but all of this time, he retained his residence in this city. In 1891, after returning to Berlin, Clement commenced to enlarge his block in and made into one of the finest opera houses in the state. He also built another fine playhouse in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Fred Clement was a member of Berlin’s first city government and was elected in 1900 to represent Berlin in the General Court. He was an ardent believer in the future of Berlin and was an active worker in its prosperous life. It was because of his good words that the first manufacturers of pulp were lead to examine this city’s facilities for power. He was also given credit for inducing the Boston and Maine Railway into this area. Clement was a democrat, and enthusiastic Mason and a progressive, conservative businessman. I will continue with the history of 1901 in my next writing. Questions or comments email <poof@ne.rr.com>. Also, become a fan of “Once upon a Berlin Time” on Facebook and guess at the mystery picture of the week.

WINGZILLA from page one

gin Valley Chamber of Commerce stand, as would be expected of a three-time winner. But this time Belanger had encouraged competition. Under a tent next to his, Belanger’s brotherin-law, Sherman Lawhorn, had a crew, including Belanger’s sister Gail. The ladies of the Chamber also challenged the men, lead by Joanne Roy. “Sweet and hot is the formula,” Roy said of the Chamber ladies’ wings. “They are good if you have a sinus problem.” Roland Berthiaume was at the grill for the Berlin Firefighters again this year. He revealed that the firefighters were smoking their wings for about an hour and a half before putting them on the grill. And for the Androscoggin Valley ATV Club, President Dan Malone was at the grill, working up a stack of wings, cooked with a secret recipe known as President’s Choice which included, Malone confessed, a sauce, made by his wife, known as Nancy’s secret sauce. As fast as they cooked, people walked by, sampling the wings and ice cream and fried bread and cotton candy. Meanwhile, down in the pit of the amphitheater, a horse shoe tournament was happening, with contestants competing in two rounds that seemed to slow as the day wore on—perhaps having something to do with the proximity of a beer tent. And over by the gate, youngsters tried their luck at log rolling in the NFHP manmade pond. Around 3:45 p.m., a certain tension could be felt in the air around the park grounds. The wings judges— Jonathan Dube, Rick Nicoletti, Dick Letarte, and Wayne Thompson— slowly assembled on the big, tentcovered stage in the amphitheater where Dave Duchesne’s band, Plan B, was assembling their equipment for band concert, due to start, after the judging, at 5:30 p.m. Then the skies darkened, thunder rumbled and it began to pour. Sheets of rain water deluged the park, blowing under the cover of the tent to ruin the bands’ expen-

sive electronic equipment. People ran for cover, crowding under the exhibit tents and wherever they could find shelter from the drenching rain, mixed at times with hail. For nearly half an hour, the storm stopped the show. But then the sun came out, to shine on great puddles of water on the amphitheater grounds and on the stage. The show proceeded. The five mystery containers of chicken wings were presented, one by one, to judges, who were sitting on rain soaked chairs, at a table still damp from rainwater. All was forgotten but the wings. Strange happy noises sounded from the judges. “My lips are on fire.” “Oooooooo, hot!” “Whhhhhhhooooooo!” “Ah, smoked. These are nice.” In the end, the smoked wings were declared the winners. Prepared by the Berlin firefighters, whose Roland Bertiaume wielded the grill fork, these wings had had about an hour and a half in the smoker before being browned on the grill. For their wing-cooking prowess, the firefighters won $200. In second were the “Sweet and hot” ladies of the Chamber. In third was the Sherman Lawhorn crew. Winners in the first round of horseshoes were: Pete Peare and Bill Madalena who took home $50 for the win. In second were Roger Sirois and Patty Valerino, $30, and in third were Don Valliere and Carol Jackson who won their entry fee back, $20. In the second round, the top teams were tied and the competition called because of the thunderstorm. They all won their entry fee back. The teams were Carol Jackson and Travis Laflamme, Scott Johnson and Marc Theriault, and Roger Sirois and Marcel Belanger. The awards were just a prelude to an evening of music from Plan B. Even though their expensive electronic equipment was drenched, they went ahead with acoustic instruments and their voices and played for the crowd for four hours before calling it a night, according to leader Dave Duchesne.

burglary. The hearing was continued, however, after his attorney, Joseph Garrison, requested a competency hearing. Badillo is accused of entering the Church Street residence of Candace Cote, on May 28, and striking her in the face. The alleged assault reportedly caused fractures to Cote’s left orbital socket and nose. This alleged attack came just over three months after Badillo was released from the conditions of a prior bail order. On Feb. 17, he was found by the Coos County Probate Court not to be a danger to himself or others, and therefore not a candidate for civil commitment. Badillo has a history of violent acts and sustained a gunshot wound to the head during an armed home invasion on Nov. 24, 2009. He is believed to have been one of three armed gunmen who entered the Third Ave. residence of Bob Burrill and Samantha Burns. Another alleged gunman, Nathaniel Stringfield was killed in the incident and a third man, Dennis Ford has ISAACSON from page one

since been found guilty of burglary and is serving three to six years in prison for his role in the crime. Badillo did not stand trial for his alleged role, after he was found not able to assist in his own defense as a result of medical complications stemming from his head injury. He could have been civilly incarcerated if he had been found a danger to himself or others by an independent evaluator. Badillo’s attorney in that case, Wayne Moynihan, asserted that he was not competent to stand trial due to his inability to remember the substance of legal discussions with his attorney. He also argued that Badillo did not understand the charges against him. In March, Burrill spoke out against Badillo being freed. “It’s irritating as hell,” Burrill said, noting that he believed Badillo to be so dangerous that he left the area. He pointed to the fact that at the time of the home invasion, Badillo had recently been released from jail and was on probation for the 2008 home invasion and assault on Shannon Orr. He reported Isaacson is providing all the steel for the new 20-plus-story Liberty Mutual building going up in the Back Bay area of Boston. He said that project will provide work for Isaacson though next March. Griffin said his company is also lining up other jobs. “We should be fine for the future,” he said.

‘Radio Hams’ from the Berlin area join in national deployment public demo of emergency communications BERLIN --Your area’s “hams” will join with thousands of Amateur Radio operators who will be showing off their emergency capabilities this weekend. Over the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications during unexpected emergencies in towns across America including the California wildfires, winter storms, the recent Alabama and Missouri tornadoes and other events worldwide. During Hurricane Katrina, Amateur Radio – often called “Ham Radio” – often was the only way people could communicate, and hundreds of volunteer “hams” traveled south to save lives and property. When trouble is brewing, Amateur Radio’s people frequently are the first to provide rescuers with critic information and communications. On the weekend of June 25-26, the public will have a chance to meet and talk with Co s county ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about. Showing the newest digital and satellite capabilities, voice communications and even historical Morse code, hams from across the USA will be holding public demonstrations of emergency communications abilities. This annual event, called “Field Day” is the climax of the week long “Amateur Radio Week” sponsored by the ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio. Using only emergency power supplies, ham operators will construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country. Their slogan, “When All Else Fails, Ham Radio Works” is more than just words

to the hams as they prove they can send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, internet, or any other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis. More than 35,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year’s event. “We hope that people will come and see for themselves, this is not your grandfather’s radio anymore,” said Allen Pitts, W1AGP, of the ARRL. “The communications that ham radio people can quickly create have saved many lives when other systems failed or were overloaded. And besides that – it’s fun!” In the Coos County area, the Androscoggin Valley Radio club will be demonstrating Amateur Radio at the Gorham Commons Park after noon on Saturday, June 25, through to mid afternoon on Sunday, June 26. They invite the public to come and see ham radio’s new capabilities and learn how to get their own FCC radio license before the next disaster strikes. There are over 685,000 Amateur Radio licensees in the US, and more than 2.5 million around the world. Through the ARRL’s Amateur Radio Emergency Services program, ham volunteers provide both emergency communications for thousands of state and local emergency response agencies and non-emergency community services too, all for free. To learn more about Amateur Radio, go to www. emergency-radio.org. The public is most cordially invited to come, meet and talk with the hams. See what modern Amateur Radio can do. They can even help you get on the air!

Errol Heritage Commission announces grant award ERROL, NH - The Errol Heritage Commission has received a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council to present “Old Time Rules Will Prevail: The Fiddle Contest in New Hampshire and New England.” This program will be presented on Saturday, July 30, at 2 p.m., at the Errol Heritage Day Celebration (under the big white tent) on school grounds. Adam Boyce will lead a public discussion on “Old Time Rules Will Prevail: The Fiddle Contest in New Hampshire and New England.” Fiddle contests evolved from being endurance fiddling events to playing a set number of tunes judged by certain specific cri-

teria. Whether large or small, fiddle contests tried to show who was the “best,” as well as preserve old-time fiddling, and raise money for local organizations. In recent years, the fiddle contest has declined significantly in New Hampshire and Vermont due to cultural changes and financial viability. The greatest legacies of the fiddle contests were recordings made at live competitions. A sampling of these tunes is played during the presentation, as well as some live fiddling by the presenter. This program is free and open to the public. The New Hampshire Humanities

Council nurtures the joy of learning and inspires community engagement by bringing life-enhancing ideas from the humanities to the people of New Hampshire. They connect people with

ideas. Learn more about the council and its work at www.nhhc.org. Additional local support is provided by a grant from The Tillotson Foundation.

Just as you can ruin a car’s transmission by staying in the same gear for too long, you can wear a relationship in the wrong way by staying in the same mode for too long. Mix it up. Show all of your colors. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may not mean to do this consciously, but you set someone up to contribute to your cause. You make it known that you’re going to make your move later, and when you do, the other person is ready. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Better to be exciting, direct and even a bit overbearing than to be boring and predictable. So stop worrying that you might offend someone, and say what’s on your mind. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 21). There’s a lovely simplicity to the way you tackle personal and professional goals this year. You always do your best. When the outcome doesn’t please you, you’ll objectively look at what happened and try it a different way. When you are happy with the results, you will celebrate briefly and move on to the next challenge. Capricorn and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 43, 9, 26, 31 and 2.

DILBERT

Cul de Sac

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Getting the most of today’s opportunities requires some prep time. Check your notes. Reload your memory before you meet with tough clients, customers, bosses, colleagues or the most critical members of your family. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You walk the line between appropriate and inappropriate. You gravitate toward the outsiders. You dare to be more edgy, real and exciting than anything else going on around you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Intellect and intelligence are not the same things. You will experience an illustration of this today. Someone who is highly educated displays a lack of common sense, and you will be just the one to help this person out. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Make your move. It shows you’re not afraid. If you wait around, the other person involved will think you’re not that interested, and the excitement of the whole deal diminishes. So be a bit impulsive. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be informally appointed to a position because of your outgoing personality. You’ll show that you’re the kind of person who can make connections happen without something awkward taking place. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be around a person who can help you attain one of your goals. You may not consciously intend to tell this person what you want, but you telegraph your needs anyway. Your subconscious messaging system is going strong. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just because you are positive and upbeat doesn’t mean you aren’t also mischievous and playful. You gently tease your loved ones, and they crave the specific kind of attention that comes from only

WIFE SHOULD HAVE SOME SAY IN WHO SLEEPS WITH WHOM

DEAR ABBY: I couldn’t believe your response to “Stumped and Trumped in Ohio” (May 12). You made a point of saying to the father that his daughter and her boyfriend are in HIS house and they should abide by HIS rules and sleep in separate bedrooms. It’s his wife’s house, too, and she thought it was fine for them to share a room. Since when should the man’s opinion automatically trump the woman’s? Furthermore, what about hypocrisy? He admitted that he and his wife were indulging in “premarital mambo,” as he so quaintly puts it. In this day and age, you can assume his daughter and the boyfriend are as well, especially since they wanted to stay in the same room. So it was OK for him, but it’s offensive when they do it? Nonetheless, it is the parents’ house. If they had mutually agreed that the youngsters should sleep in separate rooms, so be it. This is something the husband and wife should have worked out together before “Julie” brought her boyfriend home for a visit. But in saying it’s the man’s house and everyone should abide by the man’s rules, you insulted women everywhere. -- BURNED UP IN SPRINGFIELD, N.J. DEAR BURNED UP: You’re right. I was clumsy. While I agree with you that the writer and his wife should have reached a mutual agreement before the daughter and her boyfriend arrived, they didn’t. Call me a stick-in-the-mud, but I don’t think an unmarried houseguest has a “right” to share a bedroom if EITHER parent is uncomfortable with it. And while the father may know his daughter is having sex, theoretically, I’m sure he isn’t the only parent who would prefer it was “out of sight, out of mind.” Readers were divided about this: DEAR ABBY: When my husband and I were dating, and

even after he moved in with me before we married, whenever we visited his parents’ home, I always slept in the guest room. Why? Out of respect for his parents’ wishes. It was never something that was asked of me. I did it out of respect for someone else’s home. This man’s wife caved under false pressure. The daughter will visit just as often. Sleeping arrangements rarely stop someone from visiting. If the new boyfriend stops accompanying her, then everyone should realize he’s not worth his salt. Respectful adults don’t just “happen”; they are raised that way. -- REBECCA IN ST. PAUL DEAR ABBY: Today’s letter had my blood boiling. I wholeheartedly agree that rules of a household should be respected. However, the father’s objection to his daughter and her boyfriend sleeping in the same room isn’t about respecting his “wishes.” He’s upset because he’s trying to control his daughter, and he isn’t willing to accept that she’s grown up and deserves the same freedom he and his wife had. I’m surprised you encouraged him, given that he made it clear he had no problem with premarital sex. He’s a blatant hypocrite. -- CAITLIN IN L.A. DEAR ABBY: I think guests, including children and grandchildren, who live together in today’s world should be allowed to share a room. Times have changed. Prudishness is out of date. -- REALISTIC CONTEMPORARY GRANDMA DEAR ABBY: Before my husband and I married, we visited my straitlaced aunt. Neither of us expected to sleep together there. If you don’t want someone’s morals imposed on you, what gives you the right to impose your looser morals on them? -- DIANE IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Helliwell, LeBlanc, Heath, Randall, and Carbone clinch Riverside Speedway victories –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

GROVETON -- Northeast Classic Lites’ racer George Helliwell made a bold move around lapped traffic on the final lap of segment #3, to win the third segment, and went on to capture the overall victory of the AmoskeagTwisted Tea triple 25 lap features at Riverside Speedway in Groveton Saturday. Other big winners on the evening included, Jamie Heath in the Bond Auto Parts Triple Crown racing series first segment, Matt LeBlanc, Matt Carbone (2), and Shauna Randall. A pit that had 90 racers present went green at 5 p.m.with a make-up Budweiser Super Stock feature. The “Champ” Matt Carbone had his #21 Chevy Camaro dialed in and took command of the race at the midway point and drove to victory lane. Carbone was followed to the stripe by Nick Gilcris and Shawn Hood. David Allen and Trevor Roy rounded out the top five. Carbone was not done for the night. In the feature for Amoskeag Beverage night, it took Carbone to lap 22 before he worked past runner-up Hood. Bobby Taylor was third, Gilcris fourth, and Roy fifth. Hood carried the checkers in the qualifier. The Caron Building Center and Sign Depot Daredevil races, Colby Bourgeios won the rookie class and Tyler Austin the veteran class. The rookies went ten laps and the #82 of Bourgeois led the entire event. Kyleigh Gilcris, Matt Kopp, Nicole Ouellette, and Ariel Switser were your top five. In the veteran group, Tyler Austin worked his way through traffic to capture the checkers. Dan Benoit Jr., Kristian Switser, Anthony Lacoss,

and Sierra Sanschagrin rounded out the top five. Stark’s Shauna Randall made it four straight feature wins in the Griffin Family Angel class. However, Randall had her hands full with the hard charging Traci Nelson in her #5, who finished second. The race of the night had to go to Shauna’s younger sister Jenna Randall. The youngster rode on the outside for the entire event to take home a podium finish. Tina Leveille and Shawna Whitcomb went fourth and fifth. The elder Randall took the heat checkers. Cole Kilby had the field covered in the Jiffy Mart Cyclone race. Kilby was involved in a super race amongst the top five racers. Runner-up honors went to a very fast Jeff Ainsworth, Jason Wyman third, Chris Ouellette fourth, and Travis Moulton fifth. Ouellette and Kilby were winners in the heat races. In the JA Corey/US Cellular Outlaw/ Sportsman feature, Whitefield NH’s Sammy Gooden appeared to have the field covered until a flat tire reared its ugly head on the final restart. That opened the door for Berlin’s Matt LeBlanc to take over the front position and hold off the hard charging Davis brothers Chandler and Jourdan. Veteran racer Mike Paquett went fourth and rookie competitor Aaron Smith was fifth. LeBlanc and Kenny Marier were heat winners. Jamie Heath got to the front early and held off all challenges to win the first segment of the Bond Auto Parts triple crown series. Starks Jamie Swallow Jr. went second, the 88VT of Andy Hill was third, the champ Ben Belanger fourth and Jason Wyman

fifth. Heat wins were by Nathan Swallow, Belanger, and Swallow Jr. The consolation race was won by Hill. The finishing order in this event was stated as unofficial due to post race technical inspection. Results will be final after further investigation can be completed. The Twisted Tea Dwarf car racers had one of their biggest events of the year. Amoskeag Beverages sponsored the night and the Dwarf cars put together three 25 lap features. The three top drivers from the Classic Lites Tour were on hand to battle the locals, and battle they did. The Dwarf cars were 15 strong as they came for the green flag. In the first feature, Colebrook’s Bobby Riley had the field covered. Dave Gyger, Bear Lapan, Sparky Lapan and Kevin Scott Hockman rounded out the top five. The field was inverted for the second feature. The #18 of Bear Lapan got to the front with some great work

getting through traffic. Outsider Helliwell in his #07 went second, and Rusty Bryant third. Rob Bryant finished fourth and Riley fifth. Heading into the final segment, it appeared that the locals had the night covered with Lapan, Riley, and Gyger all ready to take in the big payday. The green flag waived for the third segment and a couple of cars tangled on the front stretch that involved both Riley and Lapan. That opened the door for Gyger and the invader Helliwell. Gyger took the lead on a restart and had a rear mirror full of Helliwell. Gyger went high on the back stretch to get around lapped traffic on lap 23. Helliwell took his chance and made it three wide, taking the low groove. Helliwell came out with the advantage and held off Gyger to take the checkers. Overall, Helliwell was the winner, with Gyger runner-up. Riley, Lapan, and Bryant rounded out the see RIVERSIDE page 17

FRC’s Gorham Afterschool Program institutes yearly fishing club for youths GORHAM -- The Gorham Afterschool Program is now able to offer a yearly fishing club to middle school students. Thanks to generous donations from Wal-Mart and LL Cote, the program was able to acquire 25 fishing poles and associated gear which was used throughout the month of May. The program has also partnered with the AMC to obtain life preservers so that the students are fishing safely. In addition, Bob Ball, with Trout Unlimited, and his wife Beth have been gracious enough to volunteer their time and expertise to assist them out in the field. Two years ago, one of the activities students asked for was a fishing club. Thanks to help from Jay Milot of USFS and donations from Friends of Eric

Swett, a Forest Service employee who loved fishing, kids and the White Mountains, the program was able to borrow the necessary equipment to have the first ever fishing club! Now in the second year, thanks to the generosity of Wal-Mart and LL Cote, the program now has its own gear and will be able to offer the fishing club year after year, and extend this opportunity to summer program youth! Learning opportunities include: fish identification, rules and regulations of fishing, freshwater ecology, sustainable use of aquatic resources, environmental ethics and so much more! To find our more information about the Afterschool Program or Summer Program, call 466-5190, ext. 314.

MILAN, NH -- While in the loving care of her family, Marcia B. Bacon passed away at her Milan home on June 18, 2011. The daughter of Linwood and Ada Gadwah, she was born in Kidderville (Colebrook) on May 11, 1930. All her life she remained proud of her humble roots and hardworking parents. She grew up in the small town of Percy, where she attended a one room school. Hot summer days were spent picking buckets of berries, catching brook trout, or swimming in beautiful Christine Lake. A 1948 alumni of Groveton High School, she later earned an Associates Degree in Culinary Arts by attending the NH Vo-Tech College in Berlin, long before opportunities for adult learners were readily available. Married to Frank Bacon for 55 years, together they raised a family of five children in Milan Village where their large yellow house was always the scene of big family gatherings. Her cookie jar was never empty and she mailed many boxes of goodies to grandchildren in distant locations. Much to the surprise and delight of a grandson in Iraq, who was the recipient of a large jar of pickled eggs. Marcia loved to cook and the smell of freshly baked bread or homemade donuts frequently wafted from her kitchen. She was employed as a cook at various places in the North Country, including the Milan Village School, the Berlin Senior Meals program, The Balsams, and the NH Vo-Tech College cafeteria. At age 80, she bid a fond farewell to her final employer, Wal-Mart. She enjoyed old time country auctions, decorating her home with antiques and amassing a fine collection of blue cobalt glass pieces. Because of the Bacon family name, it also amused her to collect pigs of all shapes and sizes. A woman of many talents, she refinished furniture, caned chairs, and created beautiful handwork, especially quilts, which were given as loving gifts for family and friends. She steadfastly maintained the philosophy that a cook could never own too many cookbooks or a quilter too much fabric. An avid reader, she filled bookcases with a wide variety of books. Throughout the years, Marcia served her community, at one time a member of the Milan School Board and as a library trustee. She was never too tired to bake pies for an Old Home Day supper or bread for the Lutheran Church bake sales. She founded several local TOPS chapters and at one time served as the NH TOPS Area Coordinator. Meetings of the Home Extension group were often hosted at her house. Many 4-H club members benefited from her cooking classes. Part of her heart held a special place

for dogs and she loved many during her lifetime, most especially her toy poodle Pixie, and her adopted greyhound, Little. Marcia achieved membership in the AMC 4000 Footer Club by climbing all the mountains in NH over 4000 feet and introduced other generations of her family to the joys of hiking and the beauty of the White Mountains. At age 60 she accompanied a grandson up the Glen Boulder Trail. She forged strong friendships and made the effort to maintain them. Recently she enjoyed the meetings of the Red Hat Society. Strongly dedicated to her family, Marcia rarely failed to attend school programs or sporting events in which a child, grandchild or great grandchild might make even Marcia B. Bacon a fleeting appearance. She was a compassionate and uncomplaining care giver for her husband and parents during their long illnesses. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, she met the disease with dignity. Leaving a legacy as a loving wife, a special mother, a proud grandmother, and thoughtful neighbor, she will be forever missed by her family and friends. She leaves five children: Zanita Morin and her husband Robert of Milan, Bronwyn Bashore and her husband Scott of Newburyport, Mass., Lance Bacon and his companion Kelly Judson of Raymond, NH, Gregory Bacon of Owensboro, KY, and his former wife Vicki Bacon of Hudson, NH, Brice Bacon and his wife Lynne of Dummer; eight grandchildren including Matthew and Nathan Hawkins, Christopher and Benjamin Bashore, Danny Bacon, Ashley Bacon, Brinna and Zackary Bacon; and eight great grandchildren including Nicholas Erickson, Elijah, Owen and Sydney Hawkins, Nelson and Jonathan Hawkins and Gabriel Bacon. A private graveside service will be held at the Hillcrest Cemetery in Milan. Friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life on Friday, June 24, at the Mahoosuc Inn, Route 16 in Milan from 4 to 6 p.m. In lieu of flowers, it was Marcia’s wish that donations be made to AVH Hospice, 59 Page Hill Road, Berlin, NH, 03570, in grateful appreciation of the professional and compassionate care she received during her illness. Arrangements are by the Bryant Funeral Home in Berlin. To sign the online guestbook, please visit www.bryantfuneralhome.net.
