City has attracted over $2 million to clean up brownfield sites

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – Over the past four years, more than $2.4 million has been spent identifying and cleaning up contaminated industrial and commercial buildings in Berlin.

The money has come from a variety of sources – federal Environmental Protection Agency and N.H. Department of Environmental Services Brownfield grants, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, and DES Oil Remediation and Compliance funds.

Working with the state Department of Environmental Services, Housing Coordinator Andre Caron said Berlin has managed to attract a large share of the Brownfield funds available in the state. In recognition of DES’s assistance, the city council Monday voted to send a letter to DES Commissioner Tom Burack thanking the

agency for all its help and support.

The future for additional funding is uncertain. Caron noted Congress has yet to approve a 2012 budget for the federal Environmental Protection Agency, which has been the source for most of the Brownfield money.

“We just don’t know,” he said. “But we will continue to apply and avail ourselves of all the funding available,” he promised.

Over half of the money, $1.25 million has been spent on the former Brown Company Research and Development site. The historic two building complex contained the Brown Company’s famed research laboratory that at one time held over 600 patterns. The East Wing building has been cleaned up as has the exterior soils. The contamination included PCB-contained building materials, mercury contaminated flooring, asbestos, and lead see BROWNFIELD page 7

After eight months down, Gorham Paper and Tissue opened yesterday under new ownership. Plant Manager Willis Blevins said 71 hourly and 25 salaried employees were back on the job. The No. 9 towel machine was started back up and was making good paper by mid afternoon. Employees said they were happy to be working. “I’ve been smiling all day,” Andrew Hartford of Lancaster said. “It feels great,” said Ron Payette. Payette of Berlin, Dennis Vallee of Gorham, and Alec Dumesnil of Berlin posed yesterday in front of No. 9. The mill also spotted a fresh look with 60 to 80 gallons of paint on the guard shack and loading dock area. Blevins said he plans to have workers paint the paper machines. The company plans to bring another paper machne on line next month. (BARBARA TETREAULT PHOTO).

Phillips Brook wind farm gets federal loan guarantee

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

PHILLIPS BROOK - Granite Reliable Power has received a $135.76 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy for its 33 turbine wind farm under construction.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen announced the loan guarantee for the 99-megawatt farm which will be the largest wind farm in the state. The project will generate enough electric-

ity to power nearly 20,000 homes and will prevent over 124 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. A majority of the power generated will be sold to Central Vermont Public Service and Green Mountain Power.

It is expected to create nearly 200 jobs during the construction phase which is underway. Half of the 33 Vestas wind turbines are expected to arrive this August with the other half see GUARANTEE page 6

GORHAM — With the high school baseball season just recently ended, the selectmen turned their attention to issues on the diamond at Monday night’s meeting. The improper practice of charging attendees at the recent NHIAA playoff rounds hosted

by Gorham as well as the issue of foul ball damage during high school games and at other times were hot topics for the board.

Selectman Paul Robitaille took issue with the NHIAA charges. He noted that since the school uses the town common for their games, they see WOES page 6

(NY Times) — Independent bookstores, squeezed by competition from Internet retailers like Amazon, have long done something their online brethren cannot emulate: author events. And now many bookstores say they have no choice but to capitalize on this grand tradition.

They are charging admission.

Bookstores, including some of the most prominent around the country, have begun selling tickets or requiring a book purchase of customers who attend author readings and signings, a practice once considered unthinkable.

“There’s no one right now who’s not considering it,” said Sarah McNally, the owner of McNally Jackson Books in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. “The entire independent bookstore model is based on selling books, but that model is changing because so many book sales are going online.”

The Boulder Book Store in Colorado caused a stir in April when it announced it would charge $5 a person to attend store events. In April, Kepler’s Books, an independent in Menlo Park, Calif., began charging customers a $10 gift card, which admits two people to each author appearance. (They also have the option of buying the book in exchange for admission.)

U.S. military deaths in Iraq.

records are from1886 to present

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama plans to announce Wednesday evening that he will order the withdrawal of 10,000 American troops from Afghanistan this year, and another 20,000 troops, the remainder of the 2009 “surge,” by the end of next summer, according to administration officials and diplomats briefed on the decision. These troop reductions are both deeper and faster than the recommendations made

by Mr. Obama’s military commanders, and

they reflect mounting political and economic pressures at home, as the president faces relentless budget pressures and an increasingly restive Congress and American public.

The president is scheduled to speak about the Afghanistan war from the White House at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

Mr. Obama’s decision is a victory for Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who has long argued for curtailing the American military engagement in Afghanistan. But it is a set-

back for his top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. David H. Petraeus, who helped write the Army’s field book on counterinsurgency policy, and who is returning to Washington to head the Central Intelligence Agency.

Two administration officials said General Petraeus did not endorse the decision, though both Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, who is retiring, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton reluctantly accepted it.

Eight Bahrain activists City in North Dakota receive life sentences braces for flooding

CAIRO — (NY Times) A special military court in Bahrain convicted 21 mostly Shiite activists on Wednesday on charges of conspiring to overthrow the government during demonstrations this year, sentencing eight to life in prison and the others to terms of up to 15 years. Ibrahim Sharif, a secular Muslim who was the only Sunni among the defendants, received a sentence of five years.

The monarchy has accused the men of conspiring with the Shiite government of its increasingly powerful

neighbor, Iran. A government spokesman, Luma E. Bashmi, released a statement saying the defendants had brought the country “to the brink of total anarchy” and that the long terms were sending the message that “law and order will be preserved and therefore reassuring the majority of the population of Bahrain that their security will not be allowed to be compromised by violence or attempts to overthrow the regime or by the calling for the establishment of an Islamic Republic.”

MINOT, N.D. (NY Times) — The mayor of Minot told residents on Wednesday to head to high ground ahead of floodwaters that were expected to overtop levees, engulf much of the city and break a 130-year-old flood record.

The Souris River had not been expected to inundate Minot’s protective levees until later this week, but the mayor, Curt Zimbelman, told residents Wednesday morning that the city’s dikes would not be able to hold back the river beyond the afternoon. By Wednesday afternoon, the city had sounded its evacuation sirens, which required about 11,000 residents in low-lying areas to leave their homes.

“They are virtually certain that the levee system is going to be overtopped, and there’s nothing they can do about it,” said Pat Slattery, a spokesman with the National Weather Service.

Former North Conway man helps hoist the Stanley Cup for the Boston Bruins

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Thursday, June 23, 2011— Page 3

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — There's a local connection to the Stanley Cup, and that connection may bring Lord Stanley's prized possession to the Mount Washington Valley.

John Whitesides Jr. grew up skating in North Conway's Schouler Park and remembers many a raw evening on the local ice. Now, aged 38, Whitesides reached the pinnacle of his hockey career last week when the Boston Bruins won their first Stanley Cup in 39 years. Whitesides has been Boston's strength and conditioning coach for the past 11 years. He was on the ice seconds after the horn sounded in Game 7 in Vancouver celebrating with his team. It was a night, a season and a parade he'll never forget.

"It's been an exciting time, " Whitesides said by phone from Massachusetts Tuesday afternoon as he was preparing for a Bruins summer camp for new players. The NHL draft is right around the corner and the B's have the ninth pick.

"It's now finally all starting to sink in," he continued. "We've been so busy for the past two months. You wake up, expect to play another game or expect to have to travel and now all of a sudden it all stops. (Laughing) Now it's catch up time, time to mow my lawn and do some things around the house."

Whitesides, the son of John and the late Kitty Whitesides, formerly of North Conway, has been involved in hockey for over two decades now.

In his position as the team's strength and conditioning coach, according to the Boston Bruins Website, Whitesides "is responsible for designing and implementing the strength, flexibility, conditioning and testing programs for all players within the Bruins’ system — the NHL team, their AHL affiliate team and prospects that have not yet turned pro. He also designed a website accessible only to current players by which they receive their off-season conditioning programs. In addition, he assists in player rehabilitation after both off- and on-ice injuries."

You can see video of Whitesides at the Bruins training facility at http:// video.bruins.nhl.com/videocenter/ console?id=44098 Whitesides, who lives in Bedford, Mass., joined the Bruins following four years as the assistant strength and conditioning coach for Boston College, where he worked with 17 of the college's sports teams, but primarily with the men’s hockey and football and women’s basketball teams. He was with the Boston College Eagles in 2001 when they won the NCAA men’s national hockey championship.

"At BC we went to the Frozen Four four times and played in three finals and only won it once," Whitesides said. "Any championship is hard to win, and when you win one you appreciate it all the more."

Whitesides had never been through four rounds of playoffs in a season like this one with the Bruins that included three Game 7 victories.

"Four rounds takes so much out of you and (laughing) I wasn't even playing and I was exhausted," he said. "Against Vancouver we were flying across the entire country back and forth. A lot of people didn't see it but we had guys with ice bags on the minute they got on the plane.

"These athletes are incredible," Whitesides continued. "I give them all the credit, they deserve it. We have the right group of guys here, players and coaches, who are willing to push their way through adversity."

Whitesides was particularly impressed when the Bruins, who lost the opening two games of the finals in Vancouver, never got down.

"After Game 2, they came off the ice and no one was upset," he said. "Players just said, 'We've done it the hard way all year, why stop now?' They all had such a positive attitude. In these playoffs, with three Game 7's, it all came down to bounces, chances and goals at the right time. I think the first round and Game 7 against Montreal was probably the highest pressure of all. We knew we had a good team and were expected to do well. No one wanted to go out in the first round."

Whitesides remembers the heartache of last year when the Bruins led the playoff series with the Philadelphia Flyers three games to none only to have their rivals come back and win the series, even rallying from a 3-0 deficit to win Game 7.

"I think we needed that, it's how you learn to win," he said. "I'm so happy and proud of this entire organization. The coaching staff has done such a phenomenal job. We have a great team and it's so rewarding when you see good guys come through."

Whitesides, who was a member of the University of Maine varsity football team, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in health and physical educations from Orono in 1995 and his master’s degree in exercise physiology in 1997.

According to the Bruins, Whitesides began his career as a teaching assistant for Dr. Stephen Butterfield in the Adapted Physical Education classes, where his duties included evaluating students working with special needs children. He then began his graduate studies at the University of Maine where he taught classes in Theories of Conditioning and Kinesiology, while responsible for the Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics Laboratories.

Soon after, he became a graduate apprentice to Boston College’s head coach of strength and conditioning, Greg Finnegan.

Whitesides and his wife Virginia are the proud parents of twins, son John and daughter Jane, aged 19 months.

Virginia was invited to Game 7 along with Whitesides' dad, John Sr. "Dad decided to stay home and watch it rather than fly all the way

out," Whitesides said. "He did go to the Garden for Game 4. We invite him all of the time, but it's tough to corner him."

Whitesides Sr., is proud of the Bruins and his son's accomplishments. Both have a love of the valley and came up with an idea to bring the Stanley Cup back to their community.

"He called me after they won it and asked, 'Do you think there would be any interest in Cup in North Conway?'" Whitesides Sr., said during a visit at The Conway Daily Sun Tuesday morning. "We wondered if there was some sort of a way to promote it. John used to play on the rink in Schouler Park, it's a special place to him. Those used to be very, very short seasons. He's been a good kid and loves this community."

As has become tradition with the Stanley Cup, members of the winning team have been allowed to enjoy the Cup for a day or two, taking it home

or to any place they choose. It's been waterskiing, mountain climbing and even had the winning horse from the Kentucky Derby drink out of it.

"I'd like to try to line it up to bring the Cup home," Whitesides said. "I have a friend with a helicopter who could get me up there with it. I don't know when I'll get my turn with it, but North Conway was such a big part of me growing up it would be really nice to bring the Cup home to share it."

Whitesides was in a duck boat for the Bruins' victory parade on Saturday.

"It was unbelievable, that's the only way to describe it," he said. "It was amazing the number of people who came out, it was phenomenal. Hockey is such a blue-collar sport and Boston's a blue-collar city and we're a blue-collar team, that's why I think so many people came out to support us.

Looking back along the parade route there were just so many people you couldn't tell where the crowd ended."

We would like to thank Cliff Scott, Brad Wallace, Ryan Larochelle, Andrew Larochell and David Dean for donating all proceeds from the concert to help keep the Berlin Teen Center running and serving the youth of our community and for believing in the value of this program.

Thanks to our “Save the Teen Center Committee” for their hard work in preparation for this concert; baking goodies for the bake sale, designing T-shirts for committee members, posting flyers and posters around the community and then helping at the concert with various duties from running our bake sale table to helping at the entrance gate and with the 50/50 raffle.

We would also like to thank the following people for their help and support: Dick Huot, manager of the Northern Forest Heritage Park; Tami Hartley and

Regina Ferreira for running the admission booth; Rev. Fran Gardner-Smith, and Seminarian, Jean Mornard of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church for baking with the teenagers and helping at the bake sale; members of the congregation of St. Barnabas who donated additional baked goods; Tim Dion, for providing the sound system and running sound for the band and also for the giving of his time and talent as the opening act and donating part of the proceeds from his CD sales to the Teen Center; Norm Small and Crystal Martin, our vendors who provided food and drink; everyone who purchased 50/50 raffle tickets (especially to Moe Giroux, winner of the raffle, who donated his share back to the Teen Center); the downtown merchants who helped with advertising by hanging our flyers and posters in their stores, and many thanks to all those who donated additional monies in the Teen Center donation jar.

The concert was a successful and really enjoyable fundraiser and the Teen Center will be planning others during the summer.

We hope to see you there! It is a true pleasure to be part of such a caring community.

Once upon a Berlin Time Pool above the bridge

1901 II

Hello fellow Berlinites. As I continue with my history of Berlin in 1901, I find that the spring had several drownings, a small pox scare, the city’s first automobile, and other interesting news events.

In a story that I had written over ten years ago, the warmer weather of 1901 produced the remains of Thomas K. Rogers and Thomas McKeown. These two men had been drowned in the Androscoggin River, when the Burgess Foot Bridge broke on December 5, 1900.

Their bodies were found in a pool behind the Clement Opera House (Gallus Green today) after the ice started breaking up in early April. Christian Christianson was engaged by the city to watch for the remains at the piers above the second Mason Street Bridge, which was just a short distance below where the men were known to have gone down.

Just before noon on Monday, April 8, 1901, Christian noticed an object attached to a piece of ice floating towards him and upon closer inspection, noticed that it was the body of a man, which he then pulled up to the pier.

Police authorities were notified and City Marshall Youngcliss took charge. Soon after, a large crowd of spectators gathered to view what was taking place.

The dead man’s watch was found hanging from a chain attached to his vest and the time on it read twenty minutes before seven. This was about the exact time of the accident that occurred during a shift change at the Burgess Mill. The body was identified as Thomas Rogers, 21 years of age.

The body of Thomas McKeown was seen by E. F. Osgood, a photographer, from his studio in the Clement Block at about 10:30 am on the following day. Again, the City Marshall was notified and the body was brought ashore for identification.

Mr. Rogers was buried in the St. Anne’s Cemetery, but Mr. McKeown was brought to Stoneham, Quebec for burial.

Today’s surviving relatives of Thomas McKeown did not know how he had died or

Berlin’s first car

where he was buried. A granddaughter from Lincoln, New Hampshire came to the public library about three after I wrote the story and inquired about this man. After giving her the story, she said it solved the long going mystery that had eluded her family members all of this time and that her grandmother had remarried even before the body of her late husband had been found.

A picture of this pool back then accompanies this story. One can see the original Burgess Mill and the old piers that were here.

By the middle of April 1901, the electric railroad that once served Berlin was an assured fact. The contract had been signed on Monday April 15, 1901 by Boston and New York parties, who furnished the funds to build it. Work was to get started on this railway on the first of May and was to be completed by August of the same year.

The road surveyed would extend from Berlin Mills to Gorham village and be thoroughly equipped with power from the Cascade Electric Light Power Company of Gorham, who had recently developed their power at that place. Of course, the railway did not start until the next year and finished its operations in 1938.

Another sad drowning occurred, but this see 1901 II page

board of health and physicians of this city took this very serious matter into their hands at once, quarantining and fumigating those who had been exposed.

Schools were shut down by the school board, because so many parents kept their children home. The Pest House or Emergency Hospital on H. F. Marston’s lot in the Jericho district was being used for those infected with the disease.

The sick were brought here to receive care and medical assistance until they recovered. This must have been scary times for the citizens of this city.

Finally, news came out that Berlin had its first automobile roaming the streets, along with the horse and buggy.

Berlin was now up to date in the line of modern vehicles; when T. P. Burgess’s new automobile arrived here on Wednesday May 22, 1901.

Many people were curious to see what this new gadget looked like and gathered to view it after its arrival. This new wonder was one of the finest makes, having the name of Dedion-Bouton Motorette Company of Brooklyn and New York stamped on it.

The paper said that its color was rich red with dark trimmings and at once commanded the attention of onlookers. The car arrived via the Boston and Maine railroad, but Mr. Burgess was not at home at the time.

Upon his arrival back in town, TP soon had it out and about for a trial spin and that is when more became known about its traveling qualities.

I can just imagine how curious the residents of this city were 110 years ago, when they saw this new contraption moving about Berlin’s streets. So many things developed in town after this; such as garages, mechanics, dealerships and much more. I wonder what the cost for a gallon of gas was back then.

I will continue with the year 1901 in my next writing.

I would also thank very much the Fire Department and the EMTs. I ended up spending the night in the hospital. I was very lucky to end up with just two fractures and some bruising. From my own experience, I want to stress to ATV owners to make sure your machines is well maintained before using it! Also, wear

time it took place out of town. Frank Elmer Holt, a well-known Berlin boy, about 26 years old, drown in Millinocket, Maine on April 28, 1901. Mr. Holt had been employed by the Great Northern Paper Company for nearly four years as a civil engineer.

The accident took place, as Holt and a party of friends were crossing the Penobscot River in a canoe, on their way to having a picnic. Cousin Merle Holt and brother-in-law A.M. Munce of Berlin took an early morning train for the scene, as the body had not been recovered.

It took several weeks to find the young man’s body, about one quarter of a mile from where he had drowned.

With this young Holt’s remains were brought back to Berlin for burial.

The obituary stated that Holt was born in Milan, New Hampshire on July 23, 1875 and was the son of the late David and Velina (Howard) Holt, who came to Berlin to reside in 1882.

Frank attended Berlin High School and graduated in 1894, going on to Shaw’s Business College in Portland, Maine and eventually becoming a civil engineer. Holt, who had done well for himself at a young age, was a favorite with all of his friends and acquaintances. He was to be married to a young teacher who had worked in Berlin. Mr. Holt was survived by his mother, three brothers and two sisters. He was buried in the Berlin Cemetery on May 21, 1901.

On the same page as this sad story was the news that a river driver named Ernest J. Porters was drowned at the Cascades between Berlin and Gorham.

This twenty-six year old man was assisting in moving a wing jam, when it suddenly carried him over a set of falls.

Mr. Porters was boarding at the Central House, which is now the vacant lot of the old Joliet Snowshoe Club on the corner of Pleasant and Mason Streets.

During the middle of May 1901, the citizens of Berlin were thrown into a bit of excitement, with the announcement that there were at least ten cases of small pox in their midst. The mayor,

are not allowed to charge spectators admission, despite NHIAA requirements for playoff admission.

The issue came to light, he said, when he was informed that some townspeople opted to leave the game when they were approached for admission. He said it is his belief that the school could ask for donations, but charging a set price is prohibited at the public space.

Town Manager Robin Frost reported that she spoke with the superintendent of schools, Paul Bousquet, who was not aware of the history since it has been some time since Gorham hosted a baseball playoff game. It was discovered that in the past, to meet NHIAA requirements, the school would estimate the attendance and then send a check to the NHIAA for the amount that would’ve been raised

if they had charged the spectators.

With that issue resolved, talk turned to the potential road hazard on Route 16 posed by foul balls, as well as the damage they have caused to vehicles and homes on Park Street. Selectman David Graham said that no one takes responsibility for the property damage and the issue dissolves into finger pointing.

“I think it’s time to take another look at it,” Graham said. “We really need to keep on this and come up with some kind of solution.”

The selectman explained to the rest of the board that some towns, like Plaistow, have policies in place addressing this problem precisely.

Graham said it may be time to look at policies or other solutions, like the feasibility of repositioning the field into a less hazardous angle on the common or adding insurance requirements to

Robitaille added that what he is hearing from residents is their primary disappointment that the responsible parties do not even apologize for the damage or own up to it. The financial piece is secondary.

paint. Additional federal grant money was used to renovate the East Wing building, which is being converted into a visitors center. Clean up of the West Wing will take place in the future once funding has been secured.

Close to $900,000 has or is being spent on the former Notre Dame School, which has been vacant since the eighties. An assessment confirmed the presence of asbestos, lead-based paint, PCB-containing paint, and lead-contaminated soils. Work is still underway to remediate the contamination. TriCounty Community Action Program has proposed redeveloping the building for senior housing with visiting health services.

Other sites that have been addressed are: • 102 Granite Street – Last operated as a commercial dry cleaning operation, the city acquired the property through tax foreclosure in the late 1990’s. An assessment found the building contained asbestos, which was abated. The building has been demolished and the city is redeveloping the site as a small pocket park. Cost of assessment and clean-up was $86,286.

• Fraser Administration building – Built in 1929, it was once part of the Brown Company complex. Assessments found presence of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), arsenic, and lead in the soil associated with fill materials containing coal ash. PAHs were also detected in the soil and groundwater.

All the contamination was found on the old Bermice site, which was subdivided from the main lot and transferred to the city. The building was acquired by a developer and demolished to allow

construction of the new Berlin District Court building. An assessment has been completed on the Bermice site. DES funded cleanup planning and preparation of a remedial action plan to remove contaminants by excavation. Future plans for the site include development of a riverfront park and pedestrian greenway. Spending on the property so far is $74,583.

• Cote Block – This downtown building, dating back to 1904, has housed a variety of businesses over the years with apartments on the upper floors.

It is now vacant. An assessment in 2009 indicated the possible presence of PCB-containing pigment in wallpaper and painted surfaces as well as asbestos. A follow-up survey confirmed the presence of PCBs and will determine appropriate remedial strategy since the interior of the building is expected to be demolished to create new retail space and residential units on the upper floors. So far, $34,835 has been spent in Brownfield funds there.

• St Joseph’s School – The former Catholic School has been vacant since 1983. An assessment found possible soil contamination related to an underground fuel oil tank removed in 1989.

That issue is being addressed via petroleum funds managed by DES’s Oil Remediation & Compliance Bureau. A completed hazardous building survey confirmed the presence of asbestos, lead-based paints, and other hazardous building materials. Abatement of those contaminants has been postponed until additional public or private funding is secured. The city is working with the parish to attract potential developers to the property. Spending to date is $28,499

• Dummer Yard – This was the storage and disposal area for the pulp mill until 1995. The ten landfill cells contain mill processing waste, bark, lime ash, paper sludge, and general mill waste.

A pipe finishing mill, cement mill, and a maintenance garage also existed on the site. An assessment was completed that identified areas of environmental concern. The city and state DES plan to do a follow-up assessment to determine data gaps prior to the city acquiring the property through tax foreclosure.

Spending to date is $20,312.

• 49 Gilbert Street – A fire in 2008 heavily damaged the building, which has been abandoned. Assessments of the property uncovered containers of various chemicals, fuel oil storage tank,

asbestos, and lead-based paint. City is seeking a court order to raze and remove the building. Spending to date is $19,732.

• 97 Main Street – This property housed various businesses over the years. City acquired the vacant building at tax foreclosure. Initial assessment identified several areas of potential environmental concerns. A follow-up assessment is planned in the near future to evaluate the areas of concern. City hopes to find a private developer or work with the Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority to redevelop the building with the first floor used for retail space and the second floor used for residential space.

Spending to date is $5,879.

Mayor and city council explain new pet ordinance To clarify misconceptions about the newly passed ordinance regarding pets. The following underlined language is in the ordinance: “Sec. 13-1. Pets prohibited on city properties including parks, school yards, playgrounds and at Community events. (a) Prohibited. All pets to include all dogs, cats, and other household pets as well as all exotic animals as defined by State law RSA 207:14 and further defined as controlled or non-controlled under the State of New Hampshire Administrative Rules of Fish and Game Chapter 800; PART 804 POS-

SESSION OF WILDLIFE; Section Fis 804.01 Definitions and Section Fis 804.02 Non-controlled Species are hereby prohibited on city properties, including parks, school yards, playgrounds and locations of community events. This prohibition includes pets under the control of their owner/keeper by leash or other means except for working (guide) dogs which are permitted.”

City properties is not intended to mean city streets. City properties does mean the inside of city buildings such as the Library, City Hall, etc. People and their pets are allowed to walk past or near city

buildings. City properties does include all parks, school yards and playgrounds.

People are free to walk their pets on any city street. The exception to this is during a city event such as

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis truth sometimes makes you cry, and you can move others to tears by stating the truth through your various means of self-expression. If you dabble in the arts, today’s “dabblings” will be brilliant.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You do what you do because you want to love and be loved. Others may not respond in the manner you would prefer, but they still feel your intention and return the feelings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Through routine activities, you connect with loved ones in a meaningful way. There is something sacred about the way you give your friendship, and others will honor it as such.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

In a group situation, there is a diffusion of responsibility. Because of the number of people involved, many won’t be inclined to try as hard. However, if everyone gives it his best, you’ll move mountains together.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You have to be exposed to an idea repeatedly before it will take hold and seem like an excellent idea. That’s why repeatedly seeing people make a healthy choice will prompt you to do the same.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 23).

You’ll have specific tasks to accomplish this year. List them. You’ll exist in your peak performance zone in July, so challenge yourself. Singles enjoy a mutual attraction in August that quickly turns into a relationship. Couples adventure together in August and connect with family, too. Develop your talent in October. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 17, 30 and 16.

by Richard Thompson

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe this is not exactly the life of your dreams, but when you assess your experiences with the people you love, look around at all you have acquired. You just may decide that this is the good life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Instead of struggling with your inner critical voice (which, by the way, will be especially loud now), try to befriend it. Listen to what it has to say and respond, “I see your point, but I respectfully disagree.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can easily expand your intellectual horizons by simply avoiding mind-numbing activities such as losing yourself in entertainment you’ve already seen or in an ocean of Internet correspondence.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you feel distant from a person, you are less likely to care about whether or not your actions please that person. Create a closeness with loved ones that will make your relationship impervious to apathy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be uplifted by the camaraderie of music.

Go where you can listen to music with others. A song passes through you like an invisible thread, connecting you to your fellow music lovers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s a rivalry going on. Emotions are high, alliances are clear, and everyone wants his own side to win. Acknowledge how important this is to those around you, even though you may be ambivalent about the outcome.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The correct answer is obvious, though many people around you will choose the incorrect response. Some will cave to the social pressure. Stand strong for what is right.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The

THOUGHTFUL SUGGESTIONS EASE HARD TIMES UNDER ONE ROOF

DEAR ABBY: With so many families moving in with relatives because of personal struggles in their lives, I thought it might be helpful to offer a few suggestions to help this work for everyone. If you move in with relatives: 1. Do not assume they won’t mind if you store everything you own in their garage. Get rid of it or pay for a storage unit.

2. Help with the housework, even if they say, “Oh, don’t bother.” And keep your space clean and orderly and assist in keeping a shared bathroom tidy.

3. Show you appreciate having a place to stay. Feed pets, carry out the trash, rake leaves or shovel snow.

4. Do your own laundry. Ask when is the most convenient time to do it. Don’t leave clothes in the washer or dryer, which prevents others from washing their own things.

5. If you are paying something toward your stay, don’t think that precludes your helping in the home.

6. Work out the food arrangements. Maybe you have a shelf or drawer in the fridge for your food. Prepare your own meals unless everyone agrees to share cooking duties and food budgets.

7. If you don’t have a job, keep looking. Don’t lie around watching TV, sleeping or playing on the computer.

8. Never gossip about the household. You owe it to the family who took you in.

9. Do try to set a departure date. If things change, discuss it. When in doubt, talk it out.

To those who are going through this, I wish you luck and better times ahead. -- LOVING FAMILY MEMBER DEAR FAMILY MEMBER: Your letter is timely because,

for various reasons, millions of Americans now live in multifamily and intergenerational households. For some of them, the arrangement will be temporary. For others, it is cultural, practical and will be permanent. Whatever the reasons for cohabiting, the suggestions you submitted are thought-provoking and worth space in my column. Thank you for raising the subject.

DEAR ABBY: I was married for nine years to an outwardly sweet, but deceptive woman who cheated and left me. We have two children. A custody battle is waging, and the divorce has not been finalized due to financial disputes.

I have found myself with a dilemma. I am not a bad-looking guy, and women come on to me during social events. On the occasion that I find myself attracted and ask a woman out, I end up telling her the whole divorce/custody story no matter how hard I try to avoid it or change the subject. After the date, I regret the conversation.

How should these issues be discussed with a potential lover? I have avoided commitment because of all the “baby mama drama” some of the women had, but I’m now seriously interested in someone and she’s receptive to seeing me. I’m a free-spirited person and this problem is weighing me down.

Please advise, Abby. -- “STUCK” IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR “STUCK”: Because you are seriously interested, do the honorable thing and let her know in advance that a relationship with you may be complicated because your divorce isn’t final, and the reasons why. If she’s as interested in you as you are in her, she will respect you for it. If your almost-ex is vindictive, your new lady will need to be prepared for it.

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

American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life raises $84,000 BERLIN – The past weekend’s 14th annual American Cancer Society Relay For Life® of Berlin/ Gorham raised over $84,000 to support the society’s mission of saving lives from cancer, leaving 300 volunteers exhausted, but happy, after walking for 15 hours at the Gorham Common, Gorham. This year’s total brings the amount raised by the community to more than $650,000 since Relay started in Berlin/ Gorham in 1998.

“Through their hard work in preparing for the event, and by spending hours walking for the cause, area residents certainly did their part to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays,” said Allison White, volunteer co-chair for the 2011 Relay For Life.

The top individual fundraiser was Lucinda Bragg from Shelburne, who brought in over $3,350.00.

Second highest fundraiser was Gina Saladino, of Gorham, who raised $1,440.00 from friends and family. And third highest fundraiser was Regina Saucier of Bethel, Me., collecting $1,357.99.00 in donations.

The top fundraising team was Androscoggin Valley Hospital at an amazing $19,558.56. Second highest team was Storyland, raising an impressive $8,057.70, and the third highest fundraising team was an outstanding effort by North Country Dental, raising $6,477.99. More than 350 people participated – split into 20 teams and survivor guests. The teams represented area businesses, clubs, and organizations.

“More than 7,800 people in New Hampshire will face a cancer diagnosis this year,” said White. “And, it’s critical that we come together during Relay to help the American Cancer Society achieve its mission of saving lives by helping people stay well, by

The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do.

As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. To learn more about us or to get help, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

Writers to be featured at book fair at Heritage Park BERLIN -- A book fair, featuring writers, book signings, book sales and a “Literary Flash” competition, will be held Saturday, July 16, at the Northern Forest Heritage Park.

Sponsored by the New Hampshire Writers’ Project, this first Northern Forest Heritage Book Fair will showcase New Hampshire and regional authors and books.

The day includes a workshop and reading by Walter E. Butts, New Hampshire’s state poetry laureate.

The book fair begins at 9 a.m. with an overview of writing and publishing in New Hampshire by George Geers, executive director of the Writers’ Project. The morning continues with workshops on writing by well-known New Hampshire writers.

At 9:30 a.m., Kay Morgan will offer, “Creating A Sense of Place.” In this workshop, participants will learn techniques to sharpen their writing about place in three genres: poetry, fiction and nonfiction. This will be a hands-on workshop, where participants will write, share and discuss their work.

Kay Morgan is a published writer in poetry, fiction and nonfiction. Most recently she has been a contributing co-editor of the newly published anthology “Beyond the Notches: Stories of Place in New Hampshire’s North Country.” A lifelong teacher, she has presented writing workshops at international, national and state conferences.

At 10:30 a.m., attendees have their choice of two workshops – one on memoir writing, one on poetry.

Humorist and author Rebecca Rule offers a memoir writing workshop, “Telling Your Stories: A Walk Down Memoir Lane, The More I Remember, The More I Can Remember.” In this workshop, participants will write to remember and experiment with several short (easy) exercises designed to draw out memory as fodder for the wide range of forms that memoir can take, from haiku to autobiography.

Rule gathers and tells stories of New Hampshire.

Her most recent book is “Headin’ for the Rhubarb: A New Hampshire Dictionary (kinda).”

Also at 10:30 a.m., Walter E. Butts, New Hampshire state poet laureate, conducts the poetry workshop, “Beginning, Middle, and End.” He explains the class, “the first challenge faced by any poet is where to begin, and further, how to move forward from that initial inspiration. Using examples and in-class writing activities, we will explore the development of poems in terms of getting started, extensions through associative techniques, and arriving at more evocative conclusions. We’ll also examine the significance of word choice and how to best utilize line breaks. Participants should expect to leave the workshop with a poem in progress.”

From 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Ernest Hebert, author of 10 published books, will present a workshop on writing historical fiction. His talk will center around Metallak, "The Lone Indian of the Magalloway," who is buried in North Hill Cemetery in Stewartstown. Hebert used Metallak as the basis of his novel, "The Old American," about the French and Indian Wars in New Hampshire and Canada.

Hebert contributed a chapter, "Metallak: A Life," in the recently published “Beyond the Notches, Stories of Place in New Hampshire's North Country.”

Hebert is a native of Keene and has written a sixnovel series that revolves around the imaginary small New Hampshire town of Darby. He directs the creative writing program at Dartmouth College and lives in Westmoreland, N.H. He is a long-time member of the New Hampshire Writers' Project.

At noon, an afternoon of free programming begins that showcases writers of the New Hampshire Writers’ Project. Authors will read from their work, answer questions and sign books, which will be for sale from regional bookstores and publishers. Those authors include Berlin novelist Ron Roy, Walter E. Butts, Rebecca Rule, Sid Hall, Kay Morgan and more.

From 3 to 4 p.m. the literary competition will be held. Literary Flash is one of the New Hampshire Writers’ Project’s (NHWP) signature events, ending in a final showdown at the annual Writers’ Day

conference on March 31, 2012. At this Berlin competition, the North Country finalist will be selected.

Each contestant gets three minutes to read a complete piece of original fiction in front of an audience and panel of judges. Literary Flash, which runs 3 to 4 p.m., is free and open to the public. The competition is limited to eight writers. Pre-registration is required on a first-come, first-served basis at www. nhwritersproject.org (preference will be given to NHWP members).

The cost of the three morning workshops is $25.

Author readings in the afternoon are free and open to the public. For more information and workshop registration, visit www.nhwritersproject.org.

Coordinating the event in Berlin are Dick Conway, a newspaper columnist known as Ithaca Bound and member of the NHWP, and Dick Huot, director of the Northern Forest Heritage Park, 752-7202, or visit www.northernforestheritage.org.

Lunch will be offered for purchase by the Heritage Park and will include its world-famous bean hole beans, beans and franks, chili, cornbread, corn chowder and dessert. Water and soft drinks will be available.

Publishers and vendors interested in the Book Fair can contact Dick Huot at 752-7202, or George Geers, 785-4811, ggeers@nhwritersproject.org.

The New Hampshire Writers' Project has several members in the North Country and hosts a free Writers' Night Out, an informal gathering of writers, from 5 to 7 p.m. each month at the Heritage Park. (The next gathering will be Tuesday, July 5.)

The Berlin event is the first of four to be held by the New Hampshire Writers' Project this summer.

The focus of the four events is the writing of the White Mountains and is part of the White Mountains Cultural Festival, which marks the 100th anniversary of the federal legislation that allowed the U.S. Forest Service to purchase land and turn it into public forest land that today includes the White Mountain National Forest.

The other three events are: outdoor writing of the White Mountains, Mead Base, Center Sandwich, Saturday, Aug. 13, as part of the town’s Old Home Week celebration; the poetry of Robert Frost, Sunday, Aug. 14, Frost Place, Franconia, and the literature of the White Mountains, White Mountain Observatory Discovery Center, Main Street, North Conway, Saturday, Aug. 20.

The Writers' Project is partnering with local organizations for the four events. Details are also posted on the website, www.nhwritersproject.org. For inquiries, contact George Geers at ggeers@nwritersproject.org.

The city this week demolished the last of its major fire-damaged buildings with the demolition of 645 First Avenue. FIre Chief Randall Trull was instrumental in getting the 155-B order that allowed the city to demolish the blighted building.
