SEC approves joint Laidlaw/Berlin Station motion BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
CONCORD – The state Site Evaluation Committee Friday approved a joint motion allowing Laidlaw Berlin BioPower LLC to transfer its permit to build a biomass plant on the former mill site to Berlin Station. The SEC last year issued a conditional certificate of site and facility to Laidlaw. Since then, Laidlaw has announced a major corporate reorganization. The developer also announced a change in its major contractor and wood supplier as well as an increase in generation to 75 megawatts. Closing statements and deliberations had been
continued until Friday after the SEC heard a full day of testimony and cross examination on May 18. NewCo Energy LLC, a project company managed by Cate Street Capital, will remain the principal owner. A new corporate entity, Berlin Station, is being formed be to replace PJPD Holdings LLC and Laidlaw Berlin BioPower, LLC. While Berlin Station retains ownership and responsibility for the project, the motion states New Market Tax Credit rules prohibit it from directly operating the plant. Because of that restriction, Berlin Station will lease the facility to Burgess BioPower. The project expects to generate $2.25 million in
New Market Tax Credits that will be used to establish a community loan fund and another $500,000 for a city project. Waldron Engineering and Construction Inc., will be the construction engineer and will oversee Babcock and Wilcox, listed as the engineering, procurement, and construction firm. Delta Power Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Babcock and Wilcox will serve as operation and maintenance contractor of the owner. Black & Veatch will serve as the independent engineer primarily responsible for overseeing construction on behalf of the lenders. Stone & Webster will act as reserve consulting engineers to see SEC page 6
Stimulus funds impact energy efficiency and jobs at WMCC BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
Jen Pelletier, of Berlin, scrapes dried foam from one of the steel frames installed by workers employed by Louis Memolo contractor, to renovate the north wing of the White Mountain Community College. The foam insulation (installed by Romik Developers LLC) can be seen between the steel frames. The window wells behind Pelletier demonstrate the depth of the added insulation, calculated to save WMCC energy costs in the future. Pelletier was one of three unemployed workers that Memolo was able to hire for this project, thanks to the American Recovery and Reinvestment funds which are paying for the work. (GAIL SCOTT PHOTO)
BERLIN—Thanks to $264,262 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the north wing of the White Mountain Community College building is being renovated for energy efficiency and is already showing a saving for the college. During the Spring break from March 14-18, workers assembled by general contractor Louis T. Memolo, of Gorham, installed 53 new energy efficient windows in the renovation effort. Precise data measuring the benefit of the new windows has yet to be calculated but the school reports that following the installation of the new windows, north wing rooms responded to morning heating demands in ten minutes rather than the formerly customary one hour, according to Bill Gabler, manager for the ARRA funded projects for the New Hampshire Community College System. The windows are manufactured by Serious Materials Inc. of Sunnyvale, Calif. There is a suspended film between the panes of these windows which are filled with Krypton and argon gas, Memolo said. Much more in savings is expected when the project—which includes the new windows, firstfloor to roof foam insulation in the walls, and see STIMULUS page 6

The murder memorabilia market (NY Times) — The Smith Corona typewriter went for $22,003. The hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses fetched $20,025. The 20 personal journals were a steal at $40,676. Altogether, in an online auction that ended Thursday, the United States Marshals Service sold 58 lots of property that belonged to Theodore Kaczynski, aka the Unabomber, who during a 17-year terror spree sent package bombs that killed three people and injured 23. The sale, ordered by a Federal District Court judge in Sacramento, Calif., yielded $232,246. The items put to auction were the latest high-profile examples of “murderabilia” — artifacts of notorious killers that end up in private hands. In the case of the Unabomber, the auction’s proceeds will go to his victims and their families. But that is not typical. Almost always, the sellers are in the business for their own profit. And that makes for some strong feelings. In 1958, a carnival barker paid $760 for the 1949 Ford sedan of Ed Gein, the inspiration for the Norman Bates character in “Psycho.” “It’s a sick and despicable industry,” said Andy Kahan, director of the Crime Victims Office for the City of Houston and the individual who coined the word murderabilia to describe it.

Libyan rebels retake town in West
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times) — Following a series of NATO airstrikes, rebel forces retook the western mountain town of Yafran on Monday, breaking a monthlong siege by forces loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, news agencies reported. The western mountain region is the home territory for Libya’s minority Berbers, who have chafed under the rule of Colonel Qaddafi and rose up against his forces when the uprising began. In recent months, loyalist forces have
besieged several cities in the region, including the largest, Zintan, which rebel forces said was coming under attack on Monday, Reuters said. NATO planes and attack helicopters battered targets around Tripoli early Monday and the oil port of Brega on Sunday, in an intensifying effort to break a stalemate in a conflict that is already in its fourth month, and in the third month of NATO airstrikes. In Brussels, the secretary general of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said on
Rising Missouri River threatens Iowa town
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (NY Times) — More than half the people in a small Iowa town were evacuating on Monday as the United States Army Corps of Engineers worked to build an emergency levee to hold back the rising Missouri River, officials said. The Missouri is expected to reach record levels in the next few weeks because of melting snowpack in the Rocky Mountains, heavy rainfall and releases of water from reservoirs upstream. On Sunday, the river temporarily breached a levee in

Atchison County, Missouri, leading the authorities to direct about 600 residents living in low-lying areas of Hamburg, Iowa, to leave within 24 hours. The Red Cross has set up a shelter at a nearby high school. The levee was repaired Sunday evening after National Guard troops in a Black Hawk helicopter dropped 22 half-ton bags of sand on it to shore it up, said John Benson, a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
Monday that he intended to use the occasion of a ministerial meeting on Wednesday to ask more member countries to contribute to the offensive against the Qaddafi regime, The Associated Press reported. “Obviously, some of those allies and partners carrying the heavy burden start to ask whether it would be possible to broaden the participation a bit,” Mr. Rasmussen said at a news briefing. “That is a point I will focus on at the defense ministers’ meeting.”
Weiner says he sent photos and lied, but won’t resign
(NY Times) — At a news conference in Midtown Monday afternoon, Representative Anthony D. Weiner tearfully confessed to sending a photo of himself in his underwear to a woman over Twitter, then lying about it. Mr. Weiner said the indiscretion was part of a pattern of sending inappropriate and at times explicit photos and messages to women he met over the Internet. Mr. Weiner, 46, a popular and brash Democrat from Queens who has been considering a run for mayor of New York City and is known for aggressive and sometimes intemperate political commentary on Twitter, apologized repeatedly. “I have made terrible mistakes that have hurt the people I care about the most and I’m deeply sorry,” Mr. Weiner said. “I have not been honest with myself, my family, my constituents, my friends and supporters and the media.”

State’s courts shrink, still facing shortfall BY MADDIE HANNA
they began budget discussions this year, a decision supported by lawmakers. But the House Finance Committee also wanted the branch to complete its circuit court restructuring by July 1 accelerating a process that won’t mean closing any court buildings or changing services, but was expected to take up to 10 years when judicial officials announced the plan in January. Those factors led to last week’s layoffs and created uncertainty throughout the court system, with probate registers losing their salaries and clerks and deputy clerks instructed they would have to reapply for their jobs to work in the circuit courts. “I think the general consensus is, nobody thinks we’re quite 100 percent ready to take this on,” said Melissa Laferriere, a court assistant who works in the criminal division of the Manchester District Court clerk’s office and is the local union representative for court employees.
THE CONCORD MONITOR
The state judicial branch, which held more than 100 positions vacant following successive rounds of budget cuts, shrank again last week with the layoffs of 33 employees and will lose dozens more by the end of the summer. Their departure — 73 people in all — will reduce the court system’s staffing level by 13 percent as it puts in place its plan to consolidate its district, family and probate court operations into circuit courts. But while the restructuring, which cuts management positions, is expected to save $1.4 million a year, the court system still faces a $3.2 million shortfall between what lawmakers have allotted for next year and what’s needed to keep current staffing levels — without taking any more unpaid furlough days. Judicial officials committed to keeping the courts open to the public when
N.H. gas prices continue to slowly drop CONCORD — Gas prices in New Hampshire are still edging downward. The price-monitoring website NewHampshireGasPrices.com reported Monday that average retail gasoline prices in the state have fallen nearly four cents in the past week and
now average $3.79 per gallon. Gas has now fallen almost 14 cents in a month. The current price is two cents above the national average and $1.09 per gallon more than at the same time last year. —Courtesy of WMUR

What Is Relay For Life? One day. One night. By Participating in an American Cancer Society Relay for Life event near you, you honor cancer survivors, pay tribute to the lives lost to the disease, and raise money to help fight it – all right in your community. Nowhere is that more evident than in the mid-1980s when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, ran and walked around a track for a grueling 24 hours circling the track at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. Dr. Klatt walked and ran for more than 83 miles. Throughout the night, his friends paid $25 to run or walk 30 minutes with him. At the end 24 hours he had raised $27,000 to fight cancer. Nearly 300 of his friends, family and patients watched as he ran and walked the course. When Dr. Klatt circled the track during those 24 hours, he thought about how others could take part. He envisioned a 24-hour team relay event that could raise more money to fight cancer. Months later he pulled together a small committee to plan the first team relay event known as the City of Destiny Classic 24-hour Run Against Cancer. Since that day Relay has grown from a single man’s passion to fight cancer into the world’s largest movement to end the disease. Each year, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States along with additional communities in 20 other countries gather to take part in this global phenomenon and raise much-needed funds an awareness to save lives from cancer. WHAT HAPPENS AT RELAY FOR LIFE EVENTS? At Relay, teams of family, friends, students and co-workers camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Teams set up campsites and enjoy walking to live entertainment, activities, and special ceremonies throughout the night. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. Although every Relay for Life is different, there are certain traditions at all Relays, no matter where they are held. These traditions help participants celebrate, remember and fight back. CELEBRATE – THE SURVIVORS LAP Relay for Life opens as cancer survivors take the first lap – an inspirational time when survivors are invited to circle the track together with their caregiver and help everyone celebrate the victories they have achieved over cancer. This emotional time sets the stage for the importance of each participant’s contribution. A festive atmosphere always develops as participants make new friends and spend time with old ones. The Survivor’s Lap is an emotional example of
how Relay participants are ensuring that more lives are saved each year – like those of each individual on the track. We also recognize and celebrate caregivers at Relay for Life. These individuals give their time, love, and support to friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers who face cancer. At Relay, people understand the frustrations and joys of being a caregiver, since the effects of cancer reach far beyond just the person diagnosed. REMEMBER – THE LUMINARY CEREMONY After dark, we honor people who have been touched by cancer and remember loved ones lost to the disease during the Luminaria Ceremony. Candles are lit inside bags filled with sand, each one bearing the name of a person touched by cancer, and participants often walk a lap in silence. As people take time to remember, those who have walked alongside others battling cancer can grieve and find healing. This is the time that truly highlights the importance of defeating this disease. FIGHT BACK – THE FIGHT BACK CEREMONY Last, there is a Fight Back Ceremony, where we make a personal commitment to save lives by taking up the fight against cancer. That personal commitment may be to do something as simple as getting a screening test, quitting smoking, or talking to elected officials about cancer. By taking action, people are personally taking steps to save lives and fight back against a disease that takes away so much. Celebrate, remember, and fight back are themes that link all Relay events together. Relay for Life of Berlin-Gorham 2011 will be held on June 17 – 18, on the Gorham Common in conjunction with the 175th anniversary of the Town of Gorham. The opening ceremonies will take place at 6 p.m. followed by the survivor’s lap and reception. The theme for this year’s Relay for Life is Berlin-Gorham through the decades. Teams have selected a decade of happenings in the communities during that decade. Live entertainment throughout the event will be by Kenny Nett and Kenny assures us that he has surprises in store for us. If you have never been to a Relay for Life we invite you to come and join us for an evening of celebration of life and fun. The American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by saving lives, diminishing suffering, and preventing cancer through research, education, advocacy and patient services. For more information please call 1-800-ACS2345 or visit www.cancer.org or call Sandy Lemire, survivorship recruitment chair, Berlin-Gorham Relay for Life at sandynh@ne.rr. com or 466-3360.
The state of New Hampshire cannot survive on what workers from out west spend on pizza and subs while they’re here To the editor: My name is Adam Walker. I live with my wife, Kelly, in Chocorua, New Hampshire. I attended Kennett High School and graduated from Laconia Academy. I also graduated from the Iron Workers intensive three-year apprenticeship training program, just like my father, James Walker, and my uncle, Johnny Walker.
My family is very proud of my decision to carry on the ironworking tradition and even prouder of their New Hampshire roots. Given that, we find it insulting that companies like RMT and Brookfield Renewable Power would come into our state and claim that, although they promised to hire as many local workers as they could see SURVIVE page 5

The secret to my success has been all of you To the editor: As I head into the first few official days of my retirement I realize I worked 37 years for the city of Berlin. It seems like a very long time when I look at it as a re-run. I was a fortunate employee who had a successful and highly satisfying, enriching and enjoyable career. But, there always was a secret to this career. A secret I can now share with you. The secret to my success and happiness ...... it was ALWAYS ALL OF YOU! I worked with mayors, city councils, city managers, department heads, businesses, school groups, civic groups and volunteers who always showed me respect and wanted to
work together to make our community a great place to live. I worked with co -workers who did everything possible to make sure we worked successfully as a team resulting in achieving many goals, completing many projects and insuring we served many people. I worked with many children and senior citizens, sports groups and everyday people who shared with me their kindness, wisdom, energy, enthusiasm and happiness. And I have a wonderful family and many friends that were always there to support me! I thank you each and every one who contributed to my secret. Laura Lee Viger Berlin
City of Berlin should fine trash day offenders To the editor: Berlin needs tax revenues now more than ever, especially since they extinguished nine homes to make the truck route which has been in existence for several decades as well as making it difficult for new businesses to start up because of red tape, etc. Gorham has a plan in place that fines people $100 who put their trash out the night before or earSURVIVE from page 4
for the construction of their wind farm, the wind turbines themselves are now slated to be installed by folks from Utah and Wisconsin, because they describe this work as “specialty work.” We are the “specialty” craft that trains for and performs this work. At present, there are plenty of qualified New Hampshire residents to perform these tasks. I’ve worked on nuke plants, coal plants, high-rises, casinos, and hospitals. I’m certified as a welder, heavy-rigger, and crane signalman. I have every skill set required to erect these wind turbines, and so do more than two hundred New Hampshire iron workers who have completed the aforementioned training. RMT has made a business decision to ignore the unemployed talent from NH and bring in outsiders to perform this work. In essence, they consider New Hampshire to be devoid of talented people. They believe we can be walked on and lied to in an effort to meet their goals. We must stand together and keep this hard-
lier. I think that’s an excellent idea. People in Berlin put their trash out two or three days before trash pick up day and animals make one heck of a mess! Trash is not picked up until 10 a.m. It is pointless to put trash out the night before! Berlin should fine these offenders and use the money wisely. Anne Marie Lutz Berlin earned income in-state. Brookfield Renewable and RMT made promises to bring jobs to qualified people in our community. We must stand up to their deceit. When they lie to our elected officials, they are also lying to these officials’ constituents, our friends and neighbors, who make up the very fabric of our state. It’s time for them to deliver on their promises. The state cannot survive on what workers from out west spend on pizza and subs while they’re here. I’ll gladly order up a couple of pies from a Wisconsin pizzeria and have them delivered to their local unemployment office in exchange for removing folks from the unemployment line in New Hampshire to jobsites within our state. We have grave unemployment issues to deal with, particularly up north. If RMT is as dedicated to the communities where they work, as they claim on their website, then they’ll do the right thing and hire the already trained and skilled New Hampshire ironworkers to erect these wind turbines.

receive $26,400. The initial ARRA grant to WMCC has been supplemented by $30,000 from a college capital fund and $20,000 from a PSNH incentive for the lighting work, said Gabler. WMCC President Kathy Eneguess noted that the north wing renovations have always been part of the school’s plan of needed major work. The ARRA package ($1.3 million to New Hampshire Community Colleges) made it possible to carry on work that has been in the planning process for the last four years. “We do not do anything unless it is well planned,” she said. “The building was constructed in the 1960s and we have an eight year capital plan for continued upgrades as we can do them with the resources available.” She said that some upgrades had been done three years ago with the addition of the student wellness center at which time the electrical system in the north wing had been upgraded, air conditioning added and the classrooms upgraded with state funds. She noted that when the ARRA funds ($1.3 million) became available through the U.S. Department of Energy, the seven NH Community Colleges trustees facilities committee considered how the funds should be allocated among all the colleges. Nearly 25 percent of the grant was allocated to complete planned WMCC north wing work by this committee, on which Kathy Eneguess, as president of WMCC, serves.

its place in the ISO-NE queue for $100,000. Clean Power Development proposed to build a 29-megawatt biomass plant in Berlin. It was ahead of Laidlaw in the queue for projects to get on the so-called Coos Loop electric transmission line. SEC approval is conditional on Berlin Station obtaining a signed power purchase agreement. The Public Utilities Commission in April gave conditional approval to a PPA between Laidlaw and Public Service of N.H. but required some revisions. PSNH has submitted a revised agreement to the PUC but the original decision is being appealed by four smaller biomass plants.
new roof insulation, plus new lighting—is complete on the target date of June 17. The square footage to be properly insulated in this project is 16,478 sq. ft. Also, 10 to 14 area workers have been employed for the some 45-day duration of the project. Three in Memolo’s crew were previously unemployed, Memolo said during a tour of the project Thursday. He is pleased to have had a hand in reducing the ranks of the unemployed. One of Memolo’s goals has been to use local workers and local contractors for his part in the renovation. Subcontractors he has engaged include Romik Developers LLC, of Berlin (Roland Bethiaume and Mike Couch), who are doing the foam insulation and North Woods Electric, of Berlin, (Jon Bacon and Greg O’Neal), who are doing the electrical work. Timothy Challinor Plumbing of Whitefield, is doing the plumbing and heating work. Memolo adds that workers on the job are being paid federally mandated wages. A carpenter, for example, he said, earns a minimum of $25.23 an hour. Other companies also employed by this grant from ARRA are LighTec Inc. of Meredith which is installing energy efficient lighting, and H.L. Turner Group, Inc. of Concord, with Littleton among its branch offices, which is doing a facility energy audit and retrocommissioning. LighTec will absorb $50,000 of the ARRA grant and H.L.

Students named to dean’s list at St. Michael’s COLCHESTER, VT -- The following local residents were named to the Spring 2011 dean’s list at Saint Michael’s College, a liberal arts, residential Catholic college located in Burlington, Vermont, one of the top 10 college towns in America: Katherine Schutt, daughter of Brian and Kelly Schutt of Groveton, a Sophomore Biology major, who graduated from Groveton High School before coming to Saint BUDGET from page one
Of the $410,000 reduction, $277,660 comes from concessions in wage and benefits made by the Berlin Education Association. There is a reduction of four educational assistants at a savings of $75,000 and a reduction in the Honeywell contract for $58,000 in savings. Business Administrator Bryan Lamirande said it is too early for him to have a handle on surplus for the year. He said right now there is a balance of $721,000 but he said that will be reduced significantly as year-end expenditures are applied. He said out-of-district placements have exceeded the budgeted amount, which he said will also cut into the surplus. On the revenue side, he said the district has received $40,000 less than expected in tuition payments. Lamirande said he will have a clearer picture of the surplus in two weeks. In other business: • The board heard from a parent upset because her daughter missed graduating with honors by less than a quarter of a point. To graduate with honors a student must have a cumulative grade point average of 94. The daughter had an average of 93.78, which the mother suggested should be rounded up to 94. The mother said her daughter had worked hard and graduating with honors was important to her. The board took no action. • Berlin High Principal Gary Bisson reported the senior prom went well and the grand march at the high school escaped the rain. He said there were no incidents
Michael’s. Janel Roberge, daughter of Janet and Normand Roberge of Milan, a Junior Biology major, who graduated from Berlin High School before coming to Saint Michael’s. Students who complete a minimum of 12 credits and achieve a grade point average of at least 3.4 at the end of a semester are recognized for their scholarship by inclusion on the dean’s list. and the students were exceptionally well behaved. Bisson said he liked the mix of having the grand march at the high school and the prom itself at a local establishment, in this case White Mountain Chalet. He said he will encourage future classes to keep their proms local for economic and safety reasons. • Twenty-five Berlin Junior High students took part in the Saving through Energy Management (STEM) program under the guidance of teacher Steve Cremer. The program looked at ways to reduce the cost of energy at the Berlin Junior High and Hillside complex. Four of the students reported on their findings to the school board. Overall, the students identified total cash savings of $66,307 though measures like insulating the hot water storage tank and replacing high wattage lamps with lower wattage ones. • The school board held a first reading of the updated policies regarding the district’s relations with Berlin police and its response for criminal incidents. The policies have been updated to include bullying and cyber bullying. • Berlin High Principal Gary Bisson reported that Moriah Arsenault is the recipient of a 2011 New Hampshire Red Sox Scholarship. The award is being given to 25 New Hampshire seniors selected by the Red Sox Foundation, the charity of the Boston Red Sox. Arsenault will receive a $1,000 scholarship. The award was given out Saturday, June 4 at New Hampshire Day at Fenway Park.

La Leche League More Breastfeeding News...... Did you know that many medications prescribed by your health care practitioner,(hcp), are compatible with breastfeeding? By the time the medication reaches the baby through the breast milk, it has already been processed by the mother’s liver and therefore the dose the baby gets is usually (though not always) about 1%. There are many factors involved, but if you’re unsure, and you’ve been prescribed a drug by your hcp, and wish to continue nursing, give me a call and I can research it for you! If you’re a nursing mom and need assistance in anything breastfeeding or the like, including, but not limited to, nighttime sleep issues, pain while nursing, nursing in public, welcoming a newborn into your house with a toddler sibling, fussiness in the newborn period and on...... Call me and we can talk about it!!

Dentist at 73 Main Street
Smile with Confidence If you have lost all of your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, complete dentures can replace your missing teeth, and your smile. Replacing missing teeth will benefit not only your appearance but also your health. You’ll be able to eat and speak, two things that most people often take
for granted until their natural teeth are prematurely lost. A complete denture replaces natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag, making a person appear older. For more information, or to schedule a denture exam, call Dr. Roland Montminy at 752-2424.

TCCAP children’s summer camp now accepting registrations BERLIN -- Tri-County Community Action Program (TCCAP) children’s summer camp entitled, A Global Journey, is now accepting registrations. Fliers and registration forms have been delivered to all local schools for distribution, so parents - keep an eye out. Camp starts Tuesday, July 5, and runs every week day through Tuesday, August 30. Kids will have fun making crafts, playing games, completing activity pages, stamping their fictional passports, watching educational movies, and so much more. Music and arts will be introduced into the children’s educational experience (a highlight for most campers). The Arts Alliance of Northern NH (AANNH) has agreed to participate once again, arranging for some authentic arts programs, coordinating with the week’s cul-
tural theme. A Global Journey takes children ages 4-12 through many countries on our globe, studying their cultures with fun-filled and hands-on activities. Last year children spent the first week in the United States then traveled to Costa Rica, Canada, Africa, Australia, Japan, and Russia throughout the summer. The itinerary for this summer is to have children study the United States the first week for our Independence Celebration , then visit Brazil, France, Greece, Ireland, Egypt, Spain, and Switzerland - not necessarily in that order, as programming artists for these countries is under way. Snack, lunch, and beverages are provided daily. Fridays include a kitchen activity in which children will prepare and cook their own lunch
consisting of foods found in that country. This seemed to be a real treat for most of the children. Camp is held at the Northern Forest Heritage Park in Berlin every Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.(extended hours available for a nominal fee). Cost is only $60 a week or $20 a day per child with a discount available for multiple family members in the same home attending. Scholarships will be available for full-time campers, provided by Davis & Towle; interested parties must talk with Dori Ducharme at the number below. All registrations and daily/weekly fees must be returned to the TCCAP Administrative offices in Berlin (railroad station building across from the Post Office) prior to child being dropped off at camp. For more information, contact 752-7001.
DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams
DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may not want to show people your work because you feel that it’s unfinished. But a project that is completely finished is lifeless. So show where you are in the process, and you’ll be enthralling. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You feel the urgency and responsibility to act however you can right now. This is, after all, the only moment that is truly yours to use or waste, as you wish. As for the next hour and tomorrow, they can’t be touched. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Now that the newness and strangeness has worn off, you see your situation clearly. Because you’re so relaxed, you are more keenly aware of your own purpose and the intentions of others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you don’t want to fall “out of the loop,” you have to close the loop. Make sure the people around you are accountable to you, and you to them. Even if you think the exchange is finished, follow up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have an inquiring mind, and your curiosity will be flattering to others, as long as you know which questions to ask. Note that a question can be deep without being too invasive. Stay conscientious. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 7). The way it worked in the past is not the way it will work in the future. You are bright, adaptable and ready to adjust in whatever way necessary to be successful. This month, your public persona blossoms. July features freedom from something that’s been a pressure for years. September and November bring adventure. Aries and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 47, 8, 27 and 24.
Cul de Sac
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Instead of imagining or assuming what others see when they look at you, know for sure. Take a picture or videotape yourself. The results will help you project the image you want to project. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your concentration may not be what you want it to be at all times, but you have greater powers of focus than many around you. You’ll use this to your advantage, leading the opinions and behavior of others. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are so confident in your ability that you don’t even have to think about what exactly you are doing. You long ago mastered the task, and now you concentrate only on the outcome. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Take your time in the planning of your schedule and projects. A creative approach will make everything more fun, and you’ll successfully concoct a compelling agenda for the day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A project seems to be going on for a very long and arduous time. Still, it’s important to finish with a bang, not a whimper. So gather as much enthusiasm as possible as you head for the finish line. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Items have been discussed, and decisions have been made without you. This will be a happy occurrence because you’ll like the direction everyone is going now. It’s proof that you’ve taught your people well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s someone you need to confront. The first thing you say to this person will be very important and will influence all that happens afterward with a kind of halo effect.

DAUGHTER’S CLOTHING CHOICES SHOULD BE LARGELY HER OWN
DEAR ABBY: While I understand “Loose and Baggy in San Francisco’s” (April 23) mother’s wish to get the most out of her daughter’s clothing budget, as one whose career has been studying the social psychology of appearance, I disagree with your response. A girl’s early teen years are crucial to her development of self-image and overall self-esteem. This is a major reason for their obsession with their appearance. Parents who want to assist their daughters through the quagmire of appearance-related issues associated with these years should work with their daughters by being open to their needs, yet not allow them to exceed boundaries of decency, etc. A 13-year-old who wants clothing that fits should be accommodated. Otherwise, she stands to become ashamed of her appearance, inclined to act out through her appearance once she gains control over what she wears, and be overly obsessed with it well beyond her teen years. -- KAREN KAIGLER-WALKER, PH.D. BURBANK, CALIF. DEAR DR. KAIGLER-WALKER: Thank you for your opinion. Many readers also empathized with “Loose and Baggy.” Read on for their views on the subject: DEAR ABBY: I had the same problems when I was 13. My mom always made me buy clothes that were too large, too long, etc. But my grandmother was a clever seamstress who helped “nip and tuck” the extra material away until I needed it. She could also add new cool-looking details to the clothes. “Loose and Baggy” may also have a relative with a talent for clothing alterations, or if not, she most likely has a tailor or alteration shop nearby. I’m 15 now and still have many of the same clothes. It has saved money in the long run because we can just let the
stitches out instead of buying new clothes. At 13, she still has some room for growth. -- GRANDDAUGHTER OF A TOPLEVEL TAILOR DEAR ABBY: I empathize with “Loose and Baggy.” When my mom and I would go shopping, it always ended in a big fight with me in tears. I was teased mercilessly by the other children for dressing like a “40-year-old” and never had the cool things the other kids were wearing even though my clothes cost just as much. I vowed never to do that with my daughter, and by the time she was 12 she was shopping for her own clothes. Our only rule was that she had to follow the three B’s -- no butt, no boobs and no belly. At 16 she has an amazing sense of fashion and is often emulated. “Loose and Baggy” should be given some boundaries and then allowed to buy what she wants. -- REFORMED FRUMP IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: When my daughter was younger, she had specific style tastes that included expensive, trendy clothes. I implemented a budget that allowed her to have a set amount of money on the first day of the new season. The money was given to her in cash or, later, in her checking account. She was responsible for budgeting the amount herself for her clothes during that season. Because of this she has learned how to manage money, shop “high end” on sale and roll over unused amounts to the next season. She has become a responsible teenager who understands the value of the dollar. She also trades outfits with her friends -- or consigns them to resale stores. “Loose and Baggy” sounds like part of the “entitlement” generation and probably would learn more if she was part of the solution. -- SMART MOM/SMART DAUGHTER

Chabot and Pike play long ball, Huskies mercy Newmarket, 12-2 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
GORHAM -- The Gorham boy’s baseball squad got a total team effort, both offensively and defensively, and went on to defeat #5 seeded Newmarket Mules 12-2 in a game that ended after just five innings of play in Gorham Saturday. The quarter final playoff victory pushed the Gorham team into final four play for the second time in three seasons. The game itself had more happy endings than an opening day movie at a box office. First, there was the loss of senior captain Brandon Sanschagrin to a dislocated shoulder. Next, there was freshman Kyle Boisselle getting a start at short stop replacing the injured Sanschagrin. Finally, the return of junior Jon Chabot to the batting order. Chabot has been sidelined from hitting because of a bad back. The hard nosed hitter swatted a pair homers and had four RBIs in the win. “I knew that this team was capable of playing like this all season,” said head coach Jean LeBlanc. “The kids have had to endure a tough week emotionaly. The final straw came in the opening game of the playoffs when Brandon went down with an injury. The kids took it upon themselves to win this game for him. This might allow an outside chance to possibly return to play one last time in the finals. Everyone of those kids elevated their game today. For the seniors playing their final home game, they will remember this for a long time.” In the top of the first inning, senior pitcher Doug Willey had to survive two hits and a walk. With the bases loaded, the big right hander struck out the side, leaving a zero on the score board for Newmarket. Gorham went to work in the bottom of the first. Ty Sanschagrin was hit by a pitch and Willey was issued a walk. A pass ball pushed the duo to scoring position for clean-up hitter Cody LeBlanc. LeBlanc watched two high pitches to get a head in the count. LeBlanc placed down the perfect suicide squeeze to plate Sanschagrin. The Newmarket pitcher James Geekie got to the baseball and conceeded the run to score and then lobbed the ball to first base to get LeBlanc. However, the Mules forgot one thing and that was Willey at a full gallop was attempting to score from second base on the throw to first base. The throw to the plate was not in time to get the hustling Willey, putting the Huskie faithful into a loud roar and more importantly a 2-0 lead. In the bottom of the second inning, the Gorham offense flexed its muscle. After a deep fly out, Chabot dug into the batter’s box for his first at bat in two weeks. Chabot took the second pitch he saw over the left field fence for a 3-0 lead. The Chabot blast was followed by a ringing single to right field by Sam Jensen. Two hit batsmen in

the name of Bobby Langlands and Tyler Sanschagrin, ended the day on the mound for Newmarket’s Geekie. The ball was handed to short stop Marc Crawford, to try and get out of the huge jam the Mules were in. “Patrick Pike has been our best hitter this last month,” said LeBlanc. “He has been hitting for power lately and makes contact all the time. I wasn’t surprised one bit by what happened.” Pike was in the hole with a count of one ball and two strikes. On the fourth pitch, Pike drilled a deep grand slam to left field, to put the locals up 7-0. The Gorham faithful and the Huskie bench greated Pike at home plate. It was apparent the Mules were not ready for this kind of fireworks by the Huskies. Gorham went to strike the final blow in the bottom of the fourth inning, by touching home plate five more times. Two walks and RBI doubles by LeBlanc and Jake St Hilare made it 9-0. Newmarket’s Evan Botterman was called to hault the Huskie offense. After an attempted squeeze was unsuccessful, Chabot was ready to swing the bat again. “Jon is one of our better bunters,” said LeBlanc. “After making him sacrifice in his second at-bat, I felt he deserved at least a swing.” What a swing Chabot took. The junior left fielder drilled the 1-0 pitch over the fence for a three-run homer and more importantly a 12-0 Huskie lead. In the top of the fifth inning, Newmarket made some noise getting runners to scoring position with two outs and clean-up hitter Crawford at the plate. Crawford drilled a triple to deep centerfield and was just 90 feet away from keeping Newmarket alive in the game. However, Gorham heard from its fans that Crawford had missed second base on his way by. The appeal at second base was made and the base umpire signaled out, ending the game via the 10-run mercy rule 12-2. “Newmarket is a very good team, that ran into a team that had a lot to be motivated about today,” said LeBlanc. “Our goal was to use our home field advantage in the playoffs and we did that. The kids are beginning to believe in one another and know that the game is played by a team and not just one or two players.” The Huskies will now take on #1 seeded 17-1 Sunapee. Sunapee defeated Littleton 3-1 to advance to the semi-finals. The game will be played at Plymouth State University, date and time to be announced.

Berlin boys advance to final 4 with 3-1 win BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
BERLIN -- The Berlin boy’s baseball team took advantage of two Conant errors, and the tough pitching from Curtis Arsenault, defeating the Orioles 3-1 and advancing to the final four in Division III baseball Saturday in Berlin. The Mounties scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning. Zach Bacon walked and stole second base. Eric Godin hit a ball out to right field that should have been caught and mis-played, scoring Bacon. Freshman Ryan Richard smoked a 3-2 pitch to get Godin to the plate for the 2-0 Berlin lead. That was the way the score stayed until the bottom of the fifth inning. Conant pitcher Devin Springfield was on top of his game. The lefty had five strikeouts in a row early in the game and kept the usually potent Berlin offense off stride. Arsenault singled in the bottom of the fifth. On his big turn at first base, the Conant second baseman tried to pick off the Mountie. The throw was errant and went out of play, allowing Arsenault to be moved all the way to third base. Senior Bryar
King followed with a sacrifice fly to push the Berlin advantage to 3-0. Conant put a real scare into the home team in the top of the seventh inning. An infield hit, flyout and walk brought the tying run to the plate. A sizzling line drive to short stop was snared by King for the second out. Conant’s clean-up hitter singled home a run and when Arsenault uncorked a wild pitch, the Orioles had the tying runs in scoring position. However, Arsenault had other ideas. The hard throwing righty struck out the final Conant batter, moving the Mountaineers to the final four. “Curtis just seems to have another level in him all the time,” said Berlin coach Dan Brigham. “Their pitcher was tough all game long keeping us off the base paths. It was a good win for our kids.” The #2 ranked Mounties will now take on third ranked (12-4) Campbell on Thursday at Gill Stadium at 4 PM.

Berlin boys baseball team roughs up Lakers and Eagles BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
BERLIN -- BERLIN 12 INTERLAKES 2 Berlin pitcher Curtis Arsenault limited Interlakes to just two runs, leading the Mountaineers to a 12-2 victory over the Lakers recently. Four straight hits by Zach Donaldson, Connor Jewett, Arsenault and Bryar King pushed the Mounties to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Berlin tacked on another four markers off of Laker pitcher Brandon Kruger, three of which were unearned. A Donaldson squeeze and a King two RBI hit made the score 6-0. InterLakes tried to make a game of it in the top of the sixth inning, plating two runs on a Kruger double. That got the visitors within striking distance at 6-2. Pitching became an issue for the visitors in the bottom of the sixth inning. Three walks, a couple of Laker fielding mistakes and a key hit by Zach Bacon, allowed Berlin to score six runs to end the game via the mercy rule 12-2.
“This was a good win for us,” said head coach Dan Brigham. “Curtis was very tough giving up just a single hit. We were patient at the plate and picked up several walks that came around to score.” IHS 0 0 0 0 0 2 2-1-2 BHS 0 0 2 4 0 6 12-11-0 Pitching: BHS- Arsenault and Donaldson, IHS- Kruger, Jurious, and Nesbit, WP- Arsenault, LPKruger.

The Mounties elevated their record to 14-2 on the year by defeating the Gilford Golden Eagles 14-4 in a game stopped after just five innings of play. Senior Matt MacArthur got the ball to start the game and the Eagles clipped him for four runs. Berlin responded in the bottom of the first inning with seven runs of their own to lead 7-4. Bryar King and Eligah Hawkins came in and hurled two innings each for Berlin. The duo kept Gilford off the scoreboard for the remainder of the contest.

A rose once grew where all could see, sheltered beside a garden wall. And as the days passed swiftly by, it spread its branches straight and tall. One day a beam of light shined through a crevice that had opened wide. The rose bent gently toward its warmth, then passed beyond to the other side. Now, you who deeply feel it’s loss, be comforted. The rose blooms there, it’s beauty even greater now, nurtured by God’s own loving care. I love and miss you Dan! Sadly missed by your family Sue and Norm Grondin
