Berlin schools battle with unfair labor complaints BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
BERLIN — Legal costs associated with the Berlin Schools’ involvement in two unfair labor practice suits drew the attention of the school board at their meeting on June 16. The first suit was filed by the SAU in response to a grievance and subsequent demand for arbitration filed by AFSCME Council 93 Local 1444. According to the SAU’s filing, the class action grievance, filed on Dec. 17, takes the school district to task for restructuring to eliminate the bargaining unit custodian foreman position and create and non-bargaining building/grounds director position.
SAU 3 Business Administrator Bryan Lamirande explained to the board that the union wants to prohibit the district from allowing the newly hired Buildings and Grounds Director to perform custodial work and use custodians’ tools. Lamirande said in a telephone interview that the Director is a licensed electrician capable of performing maintenance alongside the custodians and should not be made to sit on the sidelines during his regular workday, a move that would only serve to increase unnecessary overtime costs. “We’re trying to preserve jobs and save money,” he said. In addition to the SAU’s filing, the Local 1444 has filed an unfair labor practice suit against the dis-
trict. In that suit, the union alleges that they should not have to use personal vacation time before they can tap into the catastrophic sick leave bank. School board chair, Nicole Plourde, questioned the more than $5,000 in legal expenses, which sends that budget line items over it’s spending goal for the year. She added that, speaking only for herself, she found the union actions and need for a suit “more than disappointing — it’s angerin.” Plourde said she found the fight over using one’s own time before asking to use sick time donated by the goodwill of others especially distasteful, and added that the suggestion that the district cannot use its staff to see COMPLAINTS page 5
Laura Viger feted at retirement dinner BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
Friends and co-workers honored Community Services Director Laura Lee Viger with a retirement party. Viger stepped down after 37 years of public service to the city.
BERLIN – Stepping down after 37 years of service to the city, friends and co-workers of retiring Community Services Director Laura Viger took the opportunity Thursday night to sing her praises and recall funny stories. City Manager Patrick MacQueen served as master of ceremonies for the barbecue dinner held at the Northern Forest Heritage Center. He set the stage by outlining Viger’s long career with the city. He noted she was about 17 years of age when she started working for the city’s recreation and parks department. After college, she became a teacher in the Berlin school system where then Junior High Principal Tony Urban said she excelled.
“She was a great teacher. She took on anything she could do,” he said. Urban said he tried hard to keep Viger as a teacher but she decided to take a job at Recreation and Parks where she eventually became director. “The community is really losing a great resource in Laura,” Urban said. In 1996, the city reorganized Parks and Recreation, Welfare, and Health, Library Departments into a Community Service Division and named Viger as the director. MacQueen said on top of that, Viger also took on the responsibility of emergency preparedness for the community and region. And in his absences, Viger filled in as city manager. McQueen said Viger made her see VIGER page 7
City to put courthouse on the market Farmers Market opens Thursday BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
BERLIN -- The old Coos County Courthouse will soon be on the market for lease or purchase. City Manager Patrick MacQueen asked the city council Monday night for permission to issue a request for proposals to real estate firms interested in marketing the historic building. With the opening of the new Berlin District Courthouse, MacQueen noted the building does not have a major tenant. The city’s code enforcement and housing coordinator offices are there but the city manager said they are moving

into city hall soon. Because the building occupies a prominent position in the downtown, MacQueen said the city must be careful how it dispenses with the building. At the same time, he said city can not afford to let the building sit vacant with heating costs running as much as $10,000 a year. Councilor Tom McCue asked about the condition of the building. Housing Coordinator André Caron said the windows need replacing which he said will be expensive. The building also needs insulation and the boilers are old. Caron estimated it see COURTHOUSE page 6

Anger and mystery in wake of seal killings HARWICH, Mass. (NY Times) — Summer’s arrival, usually cause for celebration on Cape Cod, has been dampened this year by a grim question: Who is killing the gray seals? Katie Moore, a manager at the International Fund for Animal Welfare in Yarmouth Port, Mass, is investigating the deaths. Six of them have been found shot in the head since late May, their carcasses discovered on beaches from Dennis to Chatham. The mystery has gripped people up and down the cape, and theories here are as plentiful as beach plums. Was it a fisherman, fed up with seals that steal his catch and get tangled in his gear? Or someone fearful of great white sharks, which have been drawn to the area to feed on the seals? Or maybe a person with a cruel streak? “Whoever did it, I still can’t believe it,” said Steve Eldredge, a Harwich resident who was watching his dog roam the beach here at sunset Wednesday. “I was born and raised here, and I can tell you, this type of thing doesn’t happen.” In fact, it does happen, but rarely. Last fall, a gray seal had to be euthanized after it was found shot in the head in Truro. And in 2007, a young harp seal was shot in Sandwich.

BEIRUT (NY Times) — The government of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria offered a broad amnesty and rallied tens of thousands of supporters in Damascus and other cities on Tuesday in the latest move to blunt an uprising that poses the gravest challenge to his rule. The scenes across the country illustrated the complexity of the three-month crisis in
Syria, which has deeply isolated Mr. Assad’s leadership. Though orchestrated, the rallies underlined the reservoirs of support Mr. Assad himself still draws on. But even as his government seeks to suggest at least the intention of reform, violence erupted again, as security forces fired on counterprotests, killing nine people, activists said.
The rallies came a day after Mr. Assad offered a national dialogue and somewhat vague promises to bring about change in one of the Middle East’s most authoritarian governments. Though some opposition figures said parts of the speech were encouraging, many more dismissed the initiative as a step that came too late and gave too little.
Kerry, McCain introduce Libya resolution (NY Times) — In an effort aimed at countering a House Republican plan to defund American military operations in Libya, Senators John Kerry, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and a Democrat, and John McCain, a Republican, announced the introduction of a joint resolution on Tuesday authorizing the limited use of United States Armed Forces in Libya. Under the resolution, which could be voted on as early as this week, the president is “autho-

The bipartisan legislation, however, “does not support deploying, establishing or maintaining the presence of units and members of the United States Armed Forces on the ground in Libya unless the purpose of the presence is limited to the immediate personal defense of United States government officials.”

BAGHDAD (NY Times) — Suicide bombers detonated two car bombs on Tuesday outside the governor’s compound in a city in southern Iraq, killing at least 27 people, many of them police officers, and wounding dozens of others, local officials said. The governor, Salem Alwan Hussein, was “fine” following the attack in the city of Diwaniya, a local security official said. The bombings in Diwaniya were part of a spike in violence across Iraq on Tuesday. Roadside bombs were detonated near American convoys in the cities of Hilla, Tikrit and Samarra, and militants fired rockets into a United States military base in Baghdad, where six soldiers were killed in a rocket attack two weeks ago. A military official said that only a United States convoy in Basra was attacked on Tuesday, adding that there was no injuries. The official said that mortars were fired at the military base in Baghdad but none of them landed in the base and there were no injuries.

Students taken to hospital after iPod battery explodes FARMINGTON — Finals were interrupted at Farmington High School on Tuesday morning when an iPod battery exploded in a science classroom. Officials said the school was placed in a brief lockdown in an effort to keep students from breathing in the smoke released in the incident, and the classroom was evacuated. School officials said a 16-year-old boy said he was repeatedly bending the iPod until its plastic casing broke and then continued flexing it. The lithium ion battery inside eventually began sparking and smoking. He then dropped it on the tile floor of the classroom and tried to pour water on it, which emergency workers said was a bad idea. Ambulances were called to the school from surrounding towns. Two students were transported to area hospitals as a precaution. Offi-
cials said one girl had some preexisting respiratory conditions, and her parents wanted her checked out, while the other student’s parents were being cautious. Both are expected to be fine. The school said classes were able to resume quickly. “Within an hour of the air quality check and examining the students, it was considered a safe zone,” said Superintendent Frank Mellaci. “Students are back in taking their finals, and tomorrow will be our last day.” School and emergency officials said they hope the 430 students at Farmington High learned a lesson from the incident. “These batteries actually can be dangerous,” Fowler said. “They can be very dangerous. If you breach the battery, they can cause an explosion that can cause a significant amount of fire.” —Courtesy of WMUR
Bishop urges N.H. Legislature to overturn abortion notification veto DAN TUOHY
THE UNION LEADER
Bishop John B. McCormack is urging the New Hampshire Legislature to override Gov. John Lynch’s veto of a bill requiring parents to be notified before their minor child gets an abortion. McCormack, head of the Roman Catholic Church in the state, said the bill recognizes the importance of the constitutionally protected role that parents have in caring for their children. “It would be a grave mistake to divest parents of meaningful input into the health care of their minor children,” he said in statement. “It is significant that in every other context of an adolescent’s life, the law assumes that parents are the natural guardians of their child’s health and best interests. Indeed, New Hampshire requires parental consent — not just parental notification — with respect to a long list of health care and non-health care matters, including tanning, body piercing, employment, and the possession and use of an asthma inhaler and epinephrine auto injectors.” In what way does it make sense that a child cannot be given an aspirin by a school nurse without the consent of the parent,” McCormack said, “but that same child can have an abortion, serious surgery with life-changing consequences, without the parent even knowing that it has happened?” The bill calls for doctors to give 48 hours notice, with exceptions in the event a medical emergency exists, before performing an abortion on anyone under 18. Lynch vetoed the bill Wednesday. He said he supports parental notification, but he maintains the bill lacks an exception for the victims of rape, incest and abuse. In his veto message,
Lynch said 16 of the 36 states that have some form of parental involvement include exceptions from notification for rape, incest or abuse. Lynch said the bill’s provisions in the Legislature were “unclear and too narrow,” and that it fails to allow a physician to exercise their best medical judgment in proceeding with an abortion if the minor’s health was in imminent risk. He concluded by criticizing the bill for subjecting medical professionals to potential prison time and lawsuits without providing guidance on how to comply with the law. The Republican-dominated Legislature appears to have strength to muster an override. The House passed the bill 256 to 102 and the Senate passed it 17 to 7. McCormack found himself at odds with House Republican leaders earlier this year when he attended a State House rally against the House’s version of the state budget. House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt, R-Salem, lashed out at McCormack. On Facebook, Bettencourt called him a “pedophile pimp” for his past service in the Archdiocese of Boston during the scandals of sexually abusive priests. Bettencourt later apologized for his remarks. On this political battle, Bettencourt and McCormack have both criticized the Lynch parental notification veto. “I am disappointed that our governor has turned his back on the parents of New Hampshire by vetoing legislation that supports their right to know when their minor daughter chooses to have an abortion,” Bettencourt said. “This is infuriating to House leadership who had received a verbal commitment from the governor that he would work with us on parental notification language that he could agree with.”

‘60s N.H. girl band The Shaggs on stage again in off-Broadway musical BY JASON SCHREIBER THE UNION LEADER
The Wiggin Sisters of Fremont never had big dreams. Their father was the one who was determined to make them into rock stars and get them a guest appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” More than 40 years after Austin Wiggin Jr. forced Betty, Dot, Helen and Rachel Wiggin to form a 1960s girl band called The Shaggs, the odd music made by these sisters lives on. The story of the Shaggs has now taken center stage in an off-Broadway musical being shown in the heart of New York City. There’s also talk of a movie. It’s a far cry from the tiny stage at the Fremont Town Hall where the girls were first introduced in the late 1960s and played Saturday night gigs — even though they never felt they were ready to perform. Co-produced by Playwrights Horizons and the New York Theatre Workshop, “The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World” has drawn large crowds since it opened June 7. The Wiggin sisters, Betty Porter, 60, and Dot Semprini, 63, now of Epping, and Rachel Gould, 57, of Rochester, were on hand for opening night. The musical reflects on their life, their father’s dreams of fame and fortune, and their music, which has often been described as way offbeat and out of tune; some people hurled soda cans at the sisters during a town hall performance. In an article about The Shaggs published in The New Yorker in 1999, author Susan Orlean wrote, “The music is winsome but raggedly discordant pop. Something is sort of wrong with the tempo, and the melodies are squashed and bent, nasal, deadpan. Are the Shaggs referencing the heptatonic, angular microtones of Chinese ya-yueh court music and the atonal note clusters of Ornette Coleman, or are they just a bunch of kids playing badly on cheap, out-of-
tune guitars?” But something strange has happened over the last four decades. Their music has gained a cult following and earned praise from music legends like Frank Zappa, Bonnie Raitt and Kurt Cobain. Some see their music as groundbreaking, innocent and honest. One of their most famous songs, “My Pal Foot-Foot,” is about Dot’s cat, FootFoot. “I never would have thought that it would get this far,” Rachel said. Tim Sanford, artistic director at Playwrights Horizons, said the new musical is driven by the story of the Shaggs. “I find their music really effective and unique and lyrically profound. I think their story is very compelling and peculiar and filled with tragic irony,” said Sanford, who said their songs are “pure” and offer a “glimpse into their souls.” Their story began when the Wiggin girls were teenagers growing up in Fremont. Austin remembered that his mother had read his palm when he was younger and foretold that he would one day have four girls who would become famous musicians. So he formed a band and pulled them out of school so they could practice. They took private voice, guitar and drum lessons in Manchester. The girls would practice during the day while their father was at work and perform for him after dinner each night. When he didn’t like what he heard, their father would order them to sing it again. While the girls listened to some music growing up, they had little exposure. “We weren’t allowed to go to any concerts and we weren’t allowed to go to any school dances,” Dot recalled. Dot wrote the songs in her bedroom, sang, and played lead guitar. Betty also sang and played rhythm guitar, while Helen, who died in 2006, was on drums and Rachel was on bass.

Restaurants I’ve Known
With the opening of a “new” restaurants, Icy Gulch, in Gorham, we are again blessed to have more dining choices than ever before to indulge in. Of course, Icy Gulch, like the others, is here to meet the demands of the tourist trade as well, but that makes it all the better for us. Lala and I were at Icy Gulch for a try out on Friday. The restaurant has been opened up with large, new windows and an attractive entry. It is furnished with oak tables and chairs in an open style. It is comfortable and a little noisy on a busy Friday evening, but quite pleasant to be in. I was a bit disappointed, however. It’s a medium priced place with a different idea. Its menu features items from Boar’s Head, a supplier that features smoked meat products. I guess I expected something spicy and rowdy flavored on its menu. We ordered potato skins as an appetizer which were mild and a bit too cool to garner much excitement, and a beef dish which wasn’t much better. The restaurant was crowded and service was slow and the food was served without much emphasis. It was apparent that the place was undergoing a shake down and needed time to get up and running more smoothly and efficiently. We’ll give it a try later in the season after some of the opening difficulties can be worked out. We’ve also been to the new version of an old favorite in Berlin, Tea Birds Cafe on Main St. The “do over” of this place has been amazing. It has gone from dinghy and worn
out to bright and sparkling and become a good place to have a meal and a chat. Lala and I have been there for luncheon and dinner and found the experience to be satisfying each time. The luncheon was reasonable priced, well served and pleasant. It was another version of what Tea Birds has done so well for years. The dinner wa well thought out and nicely prepared. While it was moderate to slightly high in price, it was of good value and well served. While we were there there on a Sunday evening and business was slow, we had time to chat with both the owner and chef which was pleasant. We will be going back to Tea Birds on occasion and consider it a good value. We also had a family dinner at Libby’s Bistro which was superb in every way. I was happy to invite two of my nieces, Beverly Anderson and Norma Claassen, who had come for a visit, along with Lala and Sal and Ned Baldwin, her daughter and son-in-law. It was a joyous evening with great food and excellent service. While things at Libby’s are relatively expensive it is money well spent to enjoy the best we have to offer up here. Lala and I are able to dine out fairly often. Even when its only for a pizza at Mr Pizza it is something we’ve come to look forward to and enjoy. I’m happy to give you my impressions and hope they prove helpful for your own dining pleasures.

To the editor: The Friday, June 17, edition of the Berlin Daily Sun featured a cartoon by d.rano. In it, he told Habs fans to come out and wanted to know if Montreal fans are still there? We’re still here and have no reason to be hiding in shame. In their glorious history, the Montreal Canadiens have won the Stanley Cup 24 times. The Boston Bruins have now won it only six times. The two teams have now met 33 times in the Stanley Cup playoffs and the Canadiens have eliminated the Bruins 24 times. These facts give us a much greater source of pride than Bruins fans can claim. This year, the Bruins were fortunate enough to eliminate the Canadiens. They had to play overtime in the seventh game at home to win the series. They did it against a Montreal team that had three defenseman out with injuries. Also, one of their better forwards was injured by a questionable check from Boston’s big Czechoslovakian goon. I found it very interesting when the league conducted a review of the incident. The man in charge of discipline for the NHL decided no suspension was necessary. His name is Collin Campbell and his son Gregory plays for the Bruins. Is it possible that he was trying to help his son’s team? It is interesting to note that immediately after Collin made his decision, the NHL removed him from the job and cited a conflict of interest as the reason for reassignment. Long time hockey fans remember another Campbell named Clarence. He was the Commissioner of Hockey in 1955 and he

triggered the greatest riot in hockey history. It make the recent Vancouver riot look like child’s play. Late in the regular season, the Canadiens were playing the Bruins in Boston Garden. Maurice Richard skated by a Bruin defenseman named Hal Layco who turned and hit the Rocket in the head with his stick. Players didn’t wear helmets back then and the bloody Rocket skated to the referee and demanded a penalty. The referee ignored him so the volatile Rocket assaulted him. The next day, Campbell suspended the Rocket for the rest of the regular season and the Stanley Cup playoffs. Two nights later, the arrogant Campbell came to the Montreal Forum. When the fans saw him they tried to attack him. He was lucky to get out of there alive but the riot had begun. It lasted for two days until the Rocket went on television and asked fans to stop. The Canadiens had to forfeit the game to Detroit. Because of it, the Red Wings won the regular season championship. They also won the Stanley Cup and the Rocket lost the scoring championship. Evidently the Campbells dislike the Canadiens. In closing, I don’t think d.rano or the rest of Bruins fans will live long enough to see them win 24 Stanley Cup Championships. Black Bears come out of their dens every spring, but it’s a rare spring occurrence when the Boston “Bears” win the Stanley Cup. Maybe it won’t happen for another 39 years. A proud Canadiens fan.

Workers from contractor Nelson Communications Services, of Center Conway, carefully skirted Becky Boothman’s historic garden on Randolph Hill Road while digging one of many trenches to contain drainage piping during the extensive renovation of the road, due to be finished by early October. Some 6,000 feet of piping has been unloaded and wait along the road in the hope of solving the road’s drastic water drainage problems in this $1.5 million project, shared by state and town funding. So far, the record rock removed from the roadway to make way for the renovations is a 20,000 lb granite monster, so big even the heavy duty machinery on the job could only roll it from its seat in the century old road.

The only difference, he said is that the other union contracts in the school district contain actual language stating the policy, while the Local 1444’s contract, which represents custodians and bus drivers, does not. The precedent has been set with past practice, however, Lamirande explained, and the district has letters from previous years on file advising Local 1444 workers, including union stewards, of the standard. “We’re not trying to be bad employers,” he explained. “We’re trying to work as a team.” A call for comment to Michael Blair, staff representative of AFSCME Council 93, was not immediately returned.

The grievance was denied by the superintendent on Dec. 27 and school board on Jan. 27. On March 2, the union filed a demand for arbitration. The SAU filed the unfair labor practice suit on March 2, in response to the arbitration demand and the union filed a response with the labor board in April. The second unfair labor practice suit filed by the union, addressing the vacation and sick leave issue was submitted to the state in April after attempts to resolve it with the district were unsuccessful. Notice of the suits were subsequently posted publicly as required by law, Lamirande said. The school’s suit was heard by the Public Employee Labor Relations Board in May and briefs are due in from both sides. “We don’t expect a ruling until the end of July beginning of August,” Lamirande explained. The union’s complaint was argued through legal briefs rather than a hearing in Concord, and a decision in that matter is also expected this summer.

could cost $1 million to renovate the building. And then, he said, there are fire code issues. McCue suggested any sale agreement contain a stipulation that the facade of the building must be maintained. Caron said the city will require any buyer to have a solid plan for the building and the financial means to back up those plans. He said he recommends advertising the building in the Manchester and Boston markets. Lucie Remillard said she likes the redevelopment of the old county courthouse in Lancaster. That building was sold to a developer, George
Sansoucy, who has rented out the entire building. Mayor Paul Grenier said he recalled that when the county turned the building over to the city, there was a stipulation that if the city later sold it, it would have to split any profit with the county. He said the city should check its records and calculate how much money it has spent on the building over the years. In other business: * White Mountain Ridge Runners snowmobile club received council approval to make improvements to snowmobile trails on two parcels of land owned by the city on Cates Hill.
Club Assistant Trail master Larry Gomes detailed the work to be done on the Berlin Trail west of Berlin High School, Suicide Hill Trail northwest of the high school, and Cates Hill Trail behind the city’s old landfill off Cates Hill Road. Gomes said after the club has received permission from all of the landowners, the club will file a required form with the state Department of Environmental Services. He said the club has appropriated the funds to do the construction work starting this fall. * The council approved a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant application for Brookside Park. If approved, the money will be used to make energy improvements to all 120 units at the development. * City Manager Patrick MacQueen explained that the water lines the Berlin Water Works are installing on Riverside Drive are being done to provide better water pressure and firefighting capability as well as provide more water to the two prisons across the river. He said water works is almost done with a 1,000 foot section to Woodrow Street. The rest of the work to the north end of Riverside drive will take about six weeks to complete. * MacQueen also reported that the East Milan Road sewer project is almost completed. He said it is about two weeks behind schedule overall because extra time was needed for the pump station. MacQueen noted it is a large pump station and there is a lot to it including getting the city’s sewer employees trained in how to operate it. East Milan Road, he said, has had its final coat of paving down to the Urban Compact line at the city’s industrial park. * MacQueen said people have asked why the city “waste” money sweeping its streets when they are in such bad shape. He said the sweeping is not just for aesthetic reasons. He said the city is trying to keep the storm drain system clear of sand and debris which MacQueen said is difficult even without all the sand the city puts down in the winter. If the city didn’t sweep, he said the sand would end up in the storm drain system which is already overloaded. He said the sweeping also keeps the dust down and lessens the danger of bikes and cars sliding in it. * Administrative Assistant Sue Tremblay recently graduated from Leadership North Country. * Mayor Paul Grenier sought to correct what he called some misconceptions about the city’s new pet ordinance. While dogs and pets are not allowed in city parks, playgrounds, and school yards, Grenier said people can walk their dogs on city streets. He said the only exception is when there is a city event going on like Drive in the 50’s. Pets, including dogs, are not allowed at city events. Seeing eye dogs are an exception to the ordinance.

pursuits of public service her life’s work. He said she took on any responsibility that came her way and became the ‘go-toperson’ for any and all community events. “She never shield away from taking initiative, was always willing to lead, work tirelessly and devote whatever time it took to get the job done for the community she grew up in,” he said. The city manager listed some of the events Viger helped organize during her tenure – the Mike Durant Welcome Home celebration, the 2005 Troop Send Off, the Candlelight Vigil for Randy Rosenberg, the new running track and field at Berlin High, Big Wheel/Dirt Bike Racing at Jericho Lake, Girls’ Softball and Hockey, RiverFire, Sculpture park, Special Olympics, development of a Dialysis Center in the North Country, and the new Volunteer Tree Program at city hall. MacQueen noted Viger is also a supporter of the arts and has donated many of her own art works to various causes. House Coordinator Andre Caron said Viger filled many different roles for the community and her retirement is going to leave a big hole in city hall. “At the end of the day, you’re going to be missed by us,” he said. Jan Millis spoke of being a newcomer to Berlin and Viger helping she and her family adapt to the city. “She has the biggest heart,” said Millis. Encouraged by MacQueen, others shared stories about Viger including her love of animals and her youthful evening swimming sessions at Jericho Lake. “I had a great career,” Viger remarked, thanking the crowd for the accolades. “We just always had fun,” she concluded.

Gorham 4th of July parade’s There’s been a change in the Berlin-Gorham trolley schedule grand marshal named GORHAM -- Gorham’s 4th of July grand marshal will Robert “Chuck” Cote. Robert “Chuck” Cote,” started on the Gorham Fire Department when he was 18 years old. He was elected by unanimous vote. His father, Philip T. J. Cote, was fire chief from 1936 to 1954. Fifty-eight years later, Chuck is still responding to the call of help in the town of Gorham. Of course, now he feels that he can only respond if he can be of assistance and not a liability, he says. Chuck mostly had been the operator of Tanker 1 also known as Big Red. Only a few chosen skilled fire fighters are given the privilege of operating and driving the large tanker. In 1976, he surrendered and accepted his disease of alcoholism and has celebrated 35 years of sobriety. In 1978, he was employed by the town of Gorham driving the sanitation truck and also in 1988
the recycling truck. He was appointed deputy warden in 1969. In 1978, he met his wife Clara, who was at the time the Maitres’D at the Balsams. They celebrated their 31st anniversary in April of this year. He still resides in his home on 24 Alpine Street. He was born there July 25, 1934. In 1994, he retired from the town of Gorham. Chuck’s son Donald and his wife Terri live in Errol. A son Brian and his wife Kathy, live in North Carolina, son Shawn in Berlin and daughter Debbie lives in Gorham. He also has four step-children; Linda Canter, Sandra Yacek, Leslie Dungan and Cindy Doe. After his retirement from the town of Gorham, he worked for the Bryant Funeral Homes, and due to declining health retired in 2009. He continues to maintain his residence and yard with dedicated care and feeds the birds and squirrels that frequent the neighborhood

MARKET from page one
stained glass artist, unfurnished sawmill furniture out of Milan, and coming later this summer – wood fired pizza. Returning vendors include the Polish Princess, Roundtable Farms, Northwood Garden Center, Middle Intervale Farm, the Stone Rappers, and Haynes Homestead. For sale will be vegetables, meats, bread, hard cider, eggs, maple syrup, baked goods, furniture, jewelry, leather belts, lemonade, and berries. The rules of the market require all items to be locally produced within a 100-mile radius. Goods can be value-added but reselling is not allowed. Attending Thursday opening kick-off will be 17 students from the Carsey Institute’s Sustainable Microenterprise Development program. The students are described as accomplished entrepreneurs from Canada, Philippines, Ethiopia, Uganda, Afghanistan, Gambia, Kenya, Zambia, Sudan, Egypt, Nigeria, and the United States who are interested in connecting with local market vendors. Like last year, the vendors will set up on Mechanic Street, between
Main and Pleasant Street in the downtown. Jamison is worried about running out of space on Mechanic Street and said some of the vendors may extend onto Main Street. There will be live music from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. with a different act every week. Kid Dizzy will be the opening act. In its opening season, the market generated over $90,000 in sales for its vendors and attracted hundreds of people to the downtown on Thursday afternoons. This year, organizers hope to build on the first year’s success. WREN (Women’s Rural Entrepreneurial Network) last year received a grant from the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund to look at opening a satellite store and office in Berlin. The group operates a store and Farmers Market in Bethlehem. As part of the feasibility study, WREN last year decided to start with a Farmers Market. It has since opened an office in Berlin. This year’s Farmers Market is sponsored by a $5,000 grant from Public Service of N.H. Jamison said the goal is to grow the market to the point where it becomes self-sustaining.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams
DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis inner drives are more important to you than any external threat or reward. You’ll do a job because you are compelled to do it -- because it pains you to consider doing anything else. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You long for a project so enthralling that it makes you forget about the petty worries and concerns of daily life. Such a project will come along by the end of the month. Keep your eyes wide open for clues. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Have you ever talked to someone and felt that the conversation was so difficult that the minutes you spent trying felt like hours? You’ll have a similar experience today. Know that these social trials are not in vain. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll look forward to spending time with a smooth operator you know. Note that you don’t have to talk about anything important or deep to keep the positive vibes bouncing between you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your imagination is so strong that you will be able to project yourself through time, in a sense, as you hone your vision of what you want your future to be. See yourself in a happy state, and trace back to the origins of that happiness. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 22). You’ll take charge of your personal life. In the next four weeks, you will remember something you wanted long ago and will revive the effort to make it happen. Your network grows in July. New friends open up areas of interest. Your physical fitness improves in September. December brings the celebration of a union. Scorpio and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 22, 49 and 13.
Cul de Sac
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Recent excitement has taxed you emotionally. That’s why you’ll gravitate to nice, normal people who have something interesting, but not too interesting, to talk about. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re swayed by beauty, and you’re willing to pay for superior design. A storefront or salesperson presents items with an elegance that will render you lighter in the wallet. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your mood is practical, logical and stable. So it will be challenging for you to relate to the one who seems to be dreaming life away. Try anyhow, because you and this person complement each other perfectly. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a bit of the dark rebel in you now, and someone in your midst is absolutely mesmerized by your bold and unpredictable behavior. You will continue to grow in popularity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Unlike some, you don’t expect to be paid for any and every exertion of effort. You do, however, require that each activity you endeavor is its own reward. It is precisely because you find your work so rewarding that the money comes to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can send a message without making it overt. In fact, lately you are a master of silent communication. It’s as though you have a direct, invisible mental connection with whomever you want to influence. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be in charge of making sure business runs smoothly and all the necessary connections are made. Set the right atmosphere, and people will basically take care of themselves.

HUSBAND ABUSED BY HIS WIFE FINDS FEW RESOURCES FOR MEN
DEAR ABBY: I was a victim of domestic abuse by my wife, and I don’t feel I have been treated fairly. There are many programs for abused women, but I haven’t found any for men. This problem is more common than people realize, but men are embarrassed to say anything. I’d like my voice to be heard to encourage men to speak up. I did not hit my wife back after she beat on me. I still love her, but I refuse to be abused any longer. Abby, please help me help myself and others. -- BILL IN ARKANSAS DEAR BILL: Gladly. Among the problems with spousal abuse is that it escalates. Over the last decade domestic violence groups have become more aware of female-to-male domestic violence and violent behavior in same-sex relationships, and are better prepared to offer help than they used to be. That’s why it’s important you contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline. The toll-free number is (800) 7997233. Counselors there offer guidance to women and men who are being abused by their spouse or partner. Another organization, SAFE (Stop Abuse for Everyone), also assists victims of abuse regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation. Its website is www.safe4all.org. DEAR ABBY: Our daughter is divorced with two children. She has been dating a man who has three children. Recently, they decided to move in together. All the children are first grade or younger. What would be the proper way to handle birthdays? If my daughter and her boyfriend were married, or even engaged, I wouldn’t have a problem sending gifts to his children. But since my husband and I hardly know this man (we
live in another state and have met him only once or twice), we’re not sure how to handle this. Should we just continue to send birthday gifts to our daughter’s kids and nothing but cards to his? Or would that look bad? What’s the proper thing? -- FAIR-MINDED IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR FAIR-MINDED: Your daughter and grandchildren have formed a household with her boyfriend and his kids. If you’re compassionate people, you will treat all of the children equally for as long as the relationship lasts. If they decide to marry, which is a possibility, you will wind up being grandparents to all of them. If they eventually separate, you will have done the right thing and lent some stability and happiness to those children’s lives. DEAR ABBY: For a lot of reasons -- many betrayals among them -- I have almost completely lost my faith in the basic goodness of people. I have started isolating myself because I believe that more contact with people will destroy what little belief I have left. I don’t want to be so bitter and cynical, and I need help overcoming this. Any advice would be appreciated. -- WOUNDED SOUL IN MINNESOTA DEAR WOUNDED: I’m sorry you have suffered disappointment. But isolating yourself from others isn’t the solution. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been disappointed in someone at some point, but it’s not a reason to hide. Trust is something that has to be developed, and building it takes time. While I agree that relationships can be risky, unless you are willing to take some risk, there will be no reward.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at: Dear Abby, c/o The Conway Daily Sun, PO Box 1940, North Conway, NH 03860

Date: June 22, 2011 Grantee: City of Berlin Address: 168 South Main Street Berlin, New Hampshire 03570 Contacts: Patrick MacQueen 752-7532, Donna Lane 4475057
These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Berlin. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about July 12, 2011, the City of Berlin, will request CDFA/CDBG to release CDBG Program Funds for the rehabilitation of 35 homes within Berlin. CDBG Funds: $500,000. Other Funds: $1,500,000+. Total Project Cost: $2,000,000+. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The City of Berlin has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. This determination is based on the assumption that all required permits will be obtained and all applicable regulations will be adhered to. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the City of Berlin, 168 Main Street, Berlin, New Hampshire 03570 and may be examined or copied weekdays 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to Patrick MacQueen, City Manager. All comments received by July 11, 2011 will be considered by the City of Berlin prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. RELEASE OF FUNDS Patrick MacQueen certifies to CDFA/CDBG that in his capacity as City Manager of Berlin, he consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. CDFA/CDBG’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows Berlin to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS CDFA/CDBG will accept objections to its release of funds and Berlin’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Berlin; (b) Berlin has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by CDFA/CDBG; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to CDFA/CDBG, 14 Dixon Ave, Suite 102, Concord, NH 03301. Potential objectors should contact CDFA/CDBG (226-2170) to verify the actual last day of the objection period (approximately July 27, 2011). Patrick MacQueen, City Manager
