City’s budget to get final look Opening

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- The city budget will get a fi nal look by the city council next Monday evening just prior to a special meeting and one last public hearing.

Mayor Paul Grenier announced at the June 6, council meeting that he would be taking a look at the year end surplus figures on June 8, with the City Manager Pat McQueen and Finance Director Betty Domino. Then, a recommendation will be made to the council during a pre-meeting work session on June 13, before the council finalizes the budget they will present for the public hearing later that same eve-

ning.

McQueen told the council that some things had changed from the budget version published for the public last month.

The City General Fund Budget published stands at $31.3 million, with the total city budget coming in at $37.3 million. The city’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.

Due to the rising price of oil the heating budget will have to be increased $68,000 across all departments to match the fuel oil bid recently received from C.N. Brown. Last year, oil was $2.39 per gallon while this year’s bulk price came in at $3.24 per gallon, McQueen explained. see BUDGET page 7

GORHAM—Asking if selectmen would support opening the rail trail from the trestle to the parking lot on Route 2 (opposite the multimodal trail), New Hampshire Trails Bureau District Supervisor Clinton J. Savage reopened an issue that had been squelched last year at a public meeting on the subject.

Savage spoke at the regular Monday meeting of the selectmen.

After considerable discussion, the selectmen told Savage they would support opening that section of trail but with some caveats, primarily that if there are problems and complaints, “We will close it down,” said Selectsee BURNER page 10

Nintendo unveils successor to the Wii LOS ANGELES — Nintendo of Japan unveiled the prototype of its next home video game console, the successor to the Wii,Tuesday at the annual E3 convention.

The new system will be known as the Wii U, and the company plans to release it between April and December of next year. It will be compatible with existing Wii games and controllers, so consumers won’t necessarily have to replace software and accessories they already have (unless they want to take advantage of the new system’s capabilities). And unlike the Wii, which was stuck in the low-def era, the new console generates and displays graphics in full 1080p high-definition.

So here’s the big deal: the wireless, hand-held controller for the new system includes a six-inch-wide touch-sensitive screen right there between your hands.

No longer will playing a home console game mean looking at a television all the time. Instead, the controller screen can complement or replace what’s on TV. If, for instance, one person in the household is playing a game on the living room television, and someone else wants to watch television, the gamer can switch play entirely to the controller, while the TV is flipped to the other show.

SAYWHAT...

“

Video games are bad for you?

That’s what they said about rock-n-roll.”

told to NATO warplanes pound Residents flee as Arizona Tripoli in daylight attack fire Spreads TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times) — In a sudden, sharp escalation of NATO’s air campaign over Libya, warplanes dropped more than 50 bombs on targets in Tripoli on Tuesday, obliterating large areas of Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi’s Bab alAziziya command compound.

In response, Colonel Qaddafi

posted an audio recording on Libyan state television vowing never to surrender or accept defeat. The unusual daylight raids, the most intense on the Libyan capital since the aerial campaign started more than 11 weeks ago, began in midmorning and continued until dusk — fulfi lling NATO com-

manders’ recent warnings of an impending rise in the intensity of attacks. What appeared to be bunker-busting bombs laid waste to an area of about two acres in one corner of the compound, destroying six or seven major buildings and leaving a twisted, smoking mass of steel and concrete.

Yemeni leader badly burned, raising doubts about his rule RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (NY Times) — President Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen suffered injuries far more extensive than previously known in the attack on his presidential palace last week, with burns over 40 percent of his body, Yemeni offi cials and Western diplomats said Tuesday. There have also been reports that a wooden shard sliced into his body and punctured a lung, said Abdul Rahman al-Rashed, the head of the Arabiya television network.

It was initially reported that Mr. Saleh, who was

fl own to Saudi Arabia on Saturday for treatment at the Armed Forces Hospital in Riyadh, had suffered burns on his face, neck and arms in a blast at the palace mosque during Friday Prayer. His aides maintained that he would return home within a matter of days. However, the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he was burned on his back as well, and that the burns were severe enough to require strong sedation for the pain and months of convalescence.

GREER, Ariz. (NY Times) — There was smoke — huge white plumes of it — as far as the eye could see, so much that the majestic views of this resort community were lost and the lungs of area residents breathed it in and coughed it out. And that smoke meant that off in the surrounding hills, there was fire.

The nation’s largest wildfi re is just a few miles from Greer, a tiny town of log cabins nestled in the woods in eastern Arizona.

Those cabins are empty now, after the authorities trudged through the smoke on Monday afternoon warning residents that the Wallow Fire, which had burned up more than 233,000 acres in the ApacheSitgreaves National Forest as of Tuesday morning, was surging their way. Residents of Alpine, Nutrioso, Bonita and other mountain communities enveloped in the smoke have received similarly urgent warnings to get out.

More than 2,500 fi refighters were combating the blaze as of Tuesday morning, offi cials said.

Four structures had been lost, but hundreds more were threatened.

Manchester standoff Lynch plans to nominate shooting ruled justified Delker to Superior Court MANCHESTER — A state trooper who shot and killed a Manchester man last month mistakenly believed that the man shot fi rst, according to a report that ruled the shooting justified.

James Bretton, 50, was shot and killed on May 7 following a 36-hour standoff. Police said he threatened offi cers and his 7-year-old daughter, who was inside his Main Street apartment throughout the standoff.

The attorney general’s offi ce ruled that State Trooper Gerard Ditolla was justified when he shot and killed Breton because he believed that other troopers and the girl were in immediate danger.

Breton was shot shortly after state troopers tried to get a look inside the apartment using a mirror extended from an armored vehicle. Because a gun port had to be opened to extend the mirror, Ditolla took a position near the vehicle where he could provide cover for the troopers who could be exposed to danger, the report said.

Investigators said Breton grabbed the mirror, snapped it off its pole and slammed it down, breaking it. That caused a sound described by several troopers as a loud pop or crack that

sounded to several of them like gunfire.

Ditolla told investigators that he thought Breton had fired on the troopers in the vehicle. He said he saw Breton move behind his refrigerator and then “square up” and take an aggressive position.

According to the report, Ditolla said he had no doubt that Breton had fired his gun and could fi re again. Ditolla told investigators he then fired two or three times into Breton’s chest, and Breton fell to the floor.

The attorney general’s offi ce said the shooting was justifi ed because Ditolla reasonably believed Breton had fired his gun and that people were in danger.

The standoff began when police went to question Breton about allegations that he had molested a teenage relative of his girlfriend’s for years.

Police said Breton confronted them with a gun and ordered them to leave.

Investigators said Breton made several threats over the course of the standoff that he would hurt them, himself or his daughter.

The girl was removed safely from the apartment after Breton was shot.

Baseball player collapses and dies during practice ROCHESTER — A University of Massachusetts-Lowell sophomore died Monday during a summer baseball league practice in Rochester.

The university said Adam Keenan, of Lowell, Mass., died while practicing with the Seacoast Mavericks of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League.

According to the team, he collapsed after the team’s first workout.

Keenan was rushed to Frisbee Memorial Hospital, where efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.

“We are shocked and terribly saddened by this tragic event,” said Mavericks owner Dave Hoyt. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the Keenan family, Adam’s friends and teammates in this very difficult time.”

UMass-Lowell said Kennan trans-

ferred to the university after playing his freshman year at Franklin Pierce.

He appeared in 13 games this spring as a field player with eight starts.

“Adam was genuinely the nicest kid I’ve ever met,” said UMass Lowell head coach Ken Harring. “He was always positive. I never saw him in a bad mood. His teammates and coaches truly loved him, and his legacy will last a long time. His No. 15 will forever be in our hearts.”

At Franklin Pierce, he appeared in four games with one start as a pitcher, totaling 4.1 innings over the 2010 season.

Keenan is survived by his parents, Michael and Audrey, of Lowell, and older sister, Christine.

CONCORD — New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch is nominating the prosecutor supervising the cold case unit in the attorney general’s offi ce to the Superior Court.

Lynch said Tuesday he plans to nominate Senior Assistant Attorney General William Delker, of Concord, at Wednesday’s Executive Council meeting. Delker has served as chief of the criminal bureau and was on the team that prosecuted Michael Addison for capital murder in the 2006 shooting death of Manchester Police Offi cer

Michael Briggs and other high-profi le cases.

Delker has been a prosecutor with the state since 1998.

Lynch said Delker has distinguished himself as a prosecutor and has a sharp intellect and command of the law.

Lynch also planned to nominate Associate Attorney General Ann Rice to serve as the new deputy attorney general. Rice is currently director of the division of public protection.

Bruins’ Horton out for series; Rome suspended four games BOSTON — Boston Bruins forward Nathan Horton will miss the remainder of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs due to a severe concussion, Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli announced Tuesday.

The injury happened during the fi rst period of Game 3 of the Bruins/ Canucks Stanley Cup Final on Monday after a hit by Canuck defenseman Aaron Rome.

Horton had just passed the puck when Rome came at him from the blindside, lowered his shoulder and flattened Horton onto his back.

Rome has been suspended for four games by the NHL, the league announced Tuesday. That will mean he’ll miss the remainder of the Stanley Cup Finals.

“It was a very late hit, and it was a hit to the head -- a hit that the NHL is trying to eliminate. I think the call was right with the major and the game misconduct and how the referees handled it,” former Bruins captain Ray Bourque said.

Bourque said he believes the NHL has

been coming down on late hits.

“Looking back at the hit, you say was it a dirty hit,” Bruins coach Claude Julien said. “I think what I would call it is, it was a blindside hit that we’ve talked about taking out of the game. He made the pass.

It was late. He came from the blindside. ...

(I) say what I always say: ‘Let the league take care of it.’ We’re trying to clean that out. Let’s see where they go with that.”

After the play, Rome was assessed a five minute major for interference and a game misconduct. The league is holding a hearing Tuesday to discuss the hit, NHL spokesman Frank Brown said.

The Bruins scored four times in the second period and four more in the third to win 8-1.

“We talked about obviously playing for Horty,” said Bruins forward Mark Recchi, who scored twice. “We knew it was a late hit, but we were a little more concerned about his health at that point.

We know he’s doing a lot better right now and he’s doing OK at the hospital.”

Medicare! Is It Still ‘Untouchable?’

It seems like the Republican controlled U. S. House of Representatives is learning once again that “messing” with Medicare can still cause plenty of political hurt. A month ago nearly all of them voted to end Medicare as a program for all those 55 and under and replace it with, what Paul Klugman called it on Monday in a New York Times column, “Vouchercare.” Paul Ryan, chairman of the house Budget Committee presented the proposal as a means of substantially reducing the cost of the program by substantially reducing the benefits to those coming aboard in the future. He believed his would be the way of the future, and his party fell in line, passing his budget proposal almost unanimously.

While it must have been seen as a safe way to deal with an expensive problem, the voters in a solidly Republican district in New York State soon put the lie to that opinion. In a hotly contested vote on a vacant house seat the democrat easily defeated the republican in a three way race and took the seat that had been in Republican hands for over forty years. While the head honchos in the party deny it was not a vote influenced by their passage of the house version of the budget, they have been scrambling since then to cover up their losses. It seems to once again prove the adage that Medicare is “untouchable” and should be left alone.

But, as Klugman pointed out in his piece on Monday, Medicare doesn’t need to be turned

into “Vouchercare.” With a little judicious tinkering the costs can be brought back into line and the program can be maintained to continue to serve the elderly. He recommends controlling some of the questionable ailments that have become eligible and going after elements of waste and fraud which has made the costs rise to 16 percent of the Gross Domestic Product. He also estimated that, if the program became Vouchercare the average additional cost to Seniors could be as much as $6.000 annually. That would prevent many from getting the care and treatment necessary to continue to live healthily.

In my own case, that additional amount would mean that many of the medications and treatments I have received would be curtailed or eliminated because I could no longer afford them. I cannot support the Ryan plan which would make many of those things unaffordable to those who will follow in the future.

I, however, really don’t believe that Medicare is “untouchable.” I believe that the changed necessary to strengthen it can be made, and will be made, if the Congress applies itself to seeking them out and enacting them. This will mean that Republicans in the House of Representatives must put their allegiances to those who bought and paid for their success aside and work to enact the business of the people. If they don’t? Well!

Maybe that vote last month is a harbinger of the 2012 election after all.

I wish to point out an error in Kelly story To the editor: My letter is not intended to diminish the milestones and achievements of Larry Kelly and his leadership at TriCAP in any manner, but rather to identify a glaring error in your story’s editorial content that I took to heart.

took over the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce. The fact is the AVCoC did not exist when Mr. Kelly and Mr. Woodward, amongst several others, started meeting nearly five years ago in the NHES office and decided that not having a local chamber of commerce was simply not an option.

Pine Mountain’s interesting history This week I took a hike up Pine Mountain (2,405 feet) in Gorham. Once, instead of turning south towards Pinkham Notch from Mount Madison, the Appalachian Trail descended directly to the village of Gorham via Pine Mountain on the Pine Link Trail. In the 1990s, the lower section of this trail connecting Pine Mountain with Gorham, was reopened as the 2.7 mile Pine Mountain Trail.

For a number of years before that, hikers would access Pine Mountain from the south, driving in the dirt Dolly Copp Road, walking up the private Pine Mountain Road, which accessed the Horton Center near the summit, and then taking the short and steep Ledges Trail to the spectacular south ledges (Pinkham Ledges) of Pine Mountain.

Reopening the old AT from the north has given hikers a more substantial mountain experience, and also given them a taste of what inspired Douglas Horton to establish a church related center on Pine Mountain. Hikers can visit the scenic Chapel Rock near the summit, where a primitive wooden cross compliments the expansive view south of Pinkham Notch and the northern Presidentials peeking above the actual summit of Pine Mountain.

Located within the town of Gorham, Pine Mountain has an interesting recent history.

Once covered with large pines (indicating that it was in field some time before that), the mountain completely burned in 1909, and fires continued to keep it in blueberry fields for years after that. A fire tower was built on the summit in 1916, and another in 1939. The second was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Douglas Horton at that time, was a minister and secretary of the General Council of the Congregation of Christian Churches. In 1938, he

attended the International Missionary Council in Madras, India. He was impressed with the idea of Ashrams there, and upon return to the U.S., began looking for a beautiful natural spot for such a retreat center.

Summering in Randolph, he was familiar with the hills surrounding Gorham. In 1942, he helped found the nonprofit Pine Mountain Corporation, and became its president. Two years later, they purchased 95.5 acres on top of Pine Mountain from the E. Libby and Sons Lumber Company for $1, with the stipulation that the site would be used for religious purposes or revert back to the Libby Company.

For almost 10 years, teens from Connecticut Congregational churches attended work camps, staying in Randolph and hiking up Pine Mountain every day to work — cutting trails, marking boundaries, and building. In 1949 a lodge was completed. Many modest structures have been added since.

It wasn’t until 1964 that the Pine Mountain Road was completed by the forest service to improve access to the fire tower, and also greatly improving access to the church camp.

In 1966, the Pine Mountain Corporation deeded their land to the NH Conference of the United Church of Christ. Two years later Douglas Horton passed away at his retirement home in Randolph. It is interesting that many years previously, under Horton’s national leadership, the Congregational Church had merged with a more Presbyterian organization called the Evangelical and Reformed Church, to eventually create the United Church of Christ.

In 1969, the Conference Center at Pine Mountain was renamed the Douglas Horton Center at Pine Mountain. In 1970, the first see HISTORY page 5

Mountain Chamber of Commerce was in financial collapse at that time, with virtually no leadership nor membership. With Larry Kelly’s leadership and tutelage several of us formed a “transition committee” and explored the reforming of the chamber, and a year later we elected a board of directors and a executive committee. Larry and TriCAP assisted use even further by placing Dick Huot in place as our interim director, without who’s help we would have never gotten much further than those days. In addition, this new chamber assumed the debts HISTORY from page 4

summer youth programming began there. Today, approximately 80 kids a week attend camp there from late June through early August. There is also a Family Camp in August, and in the spring and fall, the facilities are rented to churches, colleges, and this year, even to a Coast Guard Auxiliary from Maine.

I headed out early Tuesday morning to climb the mountain. It was cloudy and cool. Although it would clear up and be very hot later, I was back down from the mountain by 10:30 a.m.

To get there, I drove into Gorham on Route 16, and just before the railroad tracks, turned left on Promenade Street. I drove to the end and continued on a rutty dirt road to the trail sign on the left just before a gravel pit. I started up next to the sign, soon reached the wide swath of a natural gas pipeline, bore right on it and picked up the trail again on the right in 50 yards. It was well marked.

Following an old road, the trail soon bore right into the woods. The mosquito’s were in their prime, but a T-shirt hung over my head and secured with a cap, worked wonders at keeping then at bay. The trail was wet and muddy, the woods attractive.

After 2.3 miles, I reached a junction. I took a sharp left for the short walk up to the summit of Chapel

Now the result is a vibrant and healthy chamber that is looked at by folks near and far as a example of what hard work and tenacity can achieve!

So with that said, we have come a long way and owe Larry Kelly a debt of gratitude for taking the wheel every once in a while and having a vision for what could be, rather than what is.

What will Larry do with time off anyway?

Richard Tessier Dummer Rock, used for services by the Horton Center. The large cross there is reminiscent of many places in the European Alps, where crosses are frequently placed in beautiful spots beneath the higher peaks. Just behind the cross was the drop-off above the steep cliffs of Chapel Rock, that have been ascended by rock climbers since the 1930s and are used for top-roping today by the Horton Center campers.

The outward view of Pinkham Notch and the summit of Pine Mountain with Mount Madison behind was spectacular.

I backtracked to the junction, and instead taking a side trail straight ahead for 50 feet to the Horton Center campus, I took a left on the trail to the top of the mountain, reaching it in less than half a mile.

Skipping over the summit past the old concrete foundations of the fire tower, I descended a short distance on the Ledges Trail to the spectacular open ledges on the south side of the summit, called the Pinkham Ledges by the Horton Center folks.

The view from the glacially smoothed Pinkham Ledges is well worth the hike. In front of you, the steep drop from Mount Madison to the valley fl oor is unequaled in the east. I sat on a smooth seat that was carved out of the rock in memory of Carol Williams Horton, fi rst wife of Douglas.

Don’t miss the River Day Boat Float BERLIN – Don’t miss the Northern Forest Heritage Park’s River Day Boat Float on Saturday, June 18! Canoes, kayaks, motorboats, rafts and anything else that floats are all welcome!

Ferg Lea from the Androscoggin Watershed Council challenged, “Let’s see how many boats we can get out to enjoy and celebrate our mighty Androscoggin! Last year, the people down river in Bethel managed to get about 22 paddle craft on the river, so it would be great to beat that as we celebrate the river.”

Phoebe Backler of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail added, “And why not decorate your boat with the “Luck of the Draw” theme for the River Day festival?”

Registration costs $10 per boat, includes one free t-shirt and will take place at 8:30 a.m. at the Nansen Wayside Park north of Berlin on Rte. 16.

Participants can also register online at www.androscogginwatershed.org and clicking on events. Motor boats will depart at 10: a.m. and paddle boats will follow at 10:30 a.m. Shuttle services will be available to allow paddlers to park their vehicles at the Heritage Park before the Boat Float begins. A limited number of canoes and kayaks will be available at no cost this year, but please bring your own if you have a boat.

Boaters will fi nish at the Northern Forest Heritage Park. Dick Huot, director of NFHP, reminds everyone that the park will be humming with River Day/ Wingzilla activities that include seminars, workshops, aquatic displays and a

selection of films from Northern Forest Canoe Trail’s film festival. Shortly after the Boat Float arrives, Berlin’s mayor, Paul Grenier, will proclaim that the third Saturday of June will celebrate the river and its fascinating history.

There will also be plenty of delicious food thanks to WINGZILLA, a BBQ Chicken Wing Cook Off competition.

And you can even try your hand in the “Luck of the Draw” Horse Shoe Tournament. The family friendly Block Party continues into the evening with entertainment by Plan B! Challenge your friends, relatives and co-workers to decorate their boat or other fl oatable device– see who has the most interesting. Is your camp owner’s association active? What pond or lake will have the best representation; Lake Umbagog, Success, Nay, Cedar, Millsfield, Akers Ponds? Who will have bragging rights for best fl oat? Or for human powered craft, challenge them to a friendly race to the fi nish. Or see what wild and crazy idea you can come up with for something else that floats.

And for paddlers out there, don’t miss the Paddlefest on the Connecticut River on July 25, (visit www.greatnh.org for more info). A free raffl e for a paddle jacket donated by L.L. Cote will be drawn for those who participate in both paddling events! But don’t forget, in the River Day Boat Float, motorized craft are also welcome and encouraged to join us.

the annual Drive in the 50’s festivities.

Jay Poulin of the Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority traced the history of the project. The property was donated to the city by developer Morris Massry. Concerned that the vacant building would become an eyesore, the city accepted the donation and transferred the building to BIDPA to manage.

BIDPA decided to develop a park in the space between Main and Pleasant Streets to eliminate any liability from people using the area as a shortcut between the two streets. The park property was subdivided from the building and ownership will remain with the city so the park can be used for downtown events.

Landscape architect John Wacker designed the park area and Lee Carroll designed the electrical features and lighting.

Tim Sappington and Caramon Burrows were the design team for the exterior building improvements and the canopy. Sappington said the steel fretwork represents a new direction for the city. Because the building was devoid of any particular style, Sappington said it provided an opportunity to create a new look composed of steel tubes fl oating in front of the façade. The intention, he said, is to grab attention and convey excitement for the downtown.

HEB Engineers did the civil and structural engineering for the park

and steel building. Couture Construction was the general contractor, Isaacson Structural Steel did the steel fabrication, and Vaillancourt Electric did the electric installations.

The cost of the park and exterior work came to just over $400,000.

BIDPA members stressed no city tax dollars have been used in the project. It has been funded by BIDPA Revenues from the sale and lease of property at the industrial park. The authority expects to recoup its investment through the sale or lease of the building.

The Berlin Main Street Program paid for all the landscaping cost except the trees and donated a third of the cost of the tables and chairs.

Chapman Scrap Metal & Demolition picked up a third of the cost of the tables and chairs and the mayor and city council picked up the remaining third.

Both Poulin and Sappington noted the design, detailing, fabrication, and construction were all completed with local talent. Even the specialized canopy membane was manufactured in Merrimack.

“Bickford Place is a creation stemming from our own resources and one which we can all take pride in,” Sappington said.

In his closing, Poulin reminded residents that the park signals a new direction for the city and it is also everyone’s duty to keep it clean.

Ferg Lea added, “And if more than 22 show up, there’s also bragging rights to most boats on the Upper Androscoggin for any organized, well semi-organized event.”

He also noted that the school department neglected to budget for workers’ compensation and that line would need to be corrected. The city will need to add $60,000 to fix that oversight.

Additionally, McQueen noted that the council had a goal of reinstating the 4.5 city positions cut in the early version of the budget as well as keeping the tax rate level. In order to retain the positions the city must come up with $304,000 and to maintain the tax rate with the published budget another $301,000 in

“We’re going to take a very close look at this on Monday night,” he said. Grenier noted that he remains optimistic that much of the money needed will be found.

The happy faces of Brown School students mirrors the joy of administration in receiving a donation from Berlin City Auto Group that will help make a difference in what the school can offer it’s students.

Berlin City Auto Group donates to local schools

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BERLIN — In these challenging economic times, Berlin City Auto Group is making a difference in helping local schools.

Through its Drive for Education Foundation, the company on National Teacher Day on May 3 gave $40,000 to 12 schools across New England.

Included among those 12 were grants totaling $15,000 given to four K-12 schools in the Berlin area: • Berlin High School — Berlin.

• Gorham Middle School — Gorham.

• Brown Elementary — Berlin.

• Milan Village School — Milan.

Those four grants ranged from $2,500 to $3,500, according to Berlin City general managers Ed Watson and Chad Crane, both of whom work out of the company’s Berlin location.

Berlin City hopes to award a total of $100,000 by the end of the year, said Watson, who oversees the company’s Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Kia, Dodge and Jeep sales while Crane is supervisor for the company’s General Motors, Chevrolet and Buick sales.

“We hope to award grants every quarter,” said Watson, who said $10 from every car sold at Berlin City’s five dealerships in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont goes to support the foundation. ***To be considered for the first round of the program, a school official

had to submit a short essay to Berlin City Auto Group by April 15 explaining how their school would use a donation of up to $3,500.

Berlin City’s brand ambassadors, a group of employees that lead the dealerships’ community involvement campaigns, evaluated the needs of each school and selected the winners accordingly.

The Drive for Education Foundation is accepting applications for its next round of awards. Applications can be submitted now through Dec. 31, 2011.

It’s all about lending a helping hand and being good community partners in education, note Berlin City managers.

“Schools are in need of support more than ever and we’re thrilled to be able to give back to the communities we serve,” said Yegor Malinovskii, vice president at Berlin City Auto Group.

Berlin City is hoping to be able to donate more funds to other schools in New England each quarter of the year.

“The presentations in May were the first round, totaling $40,000 around New England and $12,000 in the Berlin-Milan-Gorham area. We are shooting for $100,000 for the total by the end of the year, and we hope to make it $120,000 next year,” said Watson. ***Founded in New Hampshire in 1980, Berlin City Auto Group consists of five dealerships in New England,

located in Gorham, N.H., Burlington, Vt., and Portland and South Portland, Maine.

The company sells Toyota Scion Lexus, Nissan, Honda, Chevy, GMC, Buick, Ford, Lincoln, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Kia.

man Chairman Terry Oliver.

Both pros and cons were raised during the discussion.

“As I understand it,” said Selectman Paul Robitaille, “the (state regulations) stipulate there will be no ATV traffic on the rail trail. Is that true?”

Savage replied that “those are guidelines. The Commissioner of DRED (New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development) has the authority to change that regulation regarding the use of the rail trails.”

“Has he done that?” asked Robitaille.

“He has not done that,” said Savage.

“So your asking for support doesn’t mean that it will happen,” said Robitaille.

“No, it is still up to the Commissioner, but we would like to know if the town would support the idea,” said Savage.

“If you do go ahead with this and we vote to support it and a year down the road we have complaints, what can we do to alleviate them,” Robitaille asked.

“If we have complaints, we can address them as they come up,” said Savage. “We try to address things as they happen.”

What about liability?

Savage noted that the rail trail is state property so all liability is with the state.

Selectman David Graham observed that at the last meeting to discuss this, people were concerned. He noted that Henry Sanschagrin, president of the Presidential OHRV Club, was in the audience, and he and Robitaille (Selectman Terry Oliver having been delayed) agreed to open the meeting to comments from the floor.

“The Presidential OHRV Club is in favor of this,” said Sanschagrin. “We are guided by the state.

Whatever the state wants us to do, we have to do it. We are prepared to maintain signage and what ever else is needed. ATVers want this.

Everybody wants it and we are getting a lot of inquiries from down south.”

Robert Balon said that he hoped the state would “take under advise-

ment the noise ordinance that is in place.”

Michelle Lutz observed that “right now, ATVs are not going away. They are growing. Same as with snow machines. ATVs are no louder than snow machines. Right now the enthusiasts are traveling by us and going north where they can park and ride. They are going to N. Stratford and staying at the Blueberry Inn. A lot of people are looking for places to stop. We have those in Gorham. It’s a big revenue source Gorham is missing out on. It would be up to the OHRV clubs to self police. I ride with my two children. I don’t want to see anyone out there hotdogging it. If I see that, I will do what I can to stop it. I think it’s an area that the town is missing out on.”

“I’m here to support it,” said Ron Smith. “I think we can all get along and support this and make it a good thing for the town. The restaurants, the businesses will be very supportive of this and they will make out, too. As far as the noise, I don’t think it would be more than the snow machines and if it is, we can police it. If you can get the plate number, if it’s an event, we can turn it over to the game wardens. They will be on the trail. If you have the number, they can go right to the people and find out who is doing it. It will be just one or two people, not the whole crowd.

Graham said he thought people in the audience had brought up good points, but he reiterated that others are concerned about noise.

Savage noted that there is a decibel rating for OHRVs and “that is something that Fish and Game is actively enforcing. There have been complaints because some people are modifying their pipes. You have to have stock pipes.”

He said that in the rules of the road for OHRV, there are hours of operation (sunrise to sunset).

Robitaille asked how riders would be kept from traveling west from the parking lot, where ATVs will still not be permitted.

Savage said there would be gates at Jimtown Road and the state would put up signs indicating the

Happy 60th Birthday Mom! “Dad” Kids and grandkids

trail is closed to ATVs “beyond this point.”

He said the state would post the rules and regulations, too.

Robitaille noted that the multimodal trail through Gorham is right across from the parking lot which is the projected starting place for the ATVs. “We already have had ATVS going there, which they are not supposed to do. People go out and start traveling all over. We have had trouble with snow machines on the side walks. I am concerned that kind of thing would start to happen. I don’t want to see ATVs on Union Street or Promenade Street as we did with snow machines. Will there be signs to prevent that?”

“We will put up signage to say, ‘no ATVS across the street.’ . . . . Every-

Council adopts pet ordinance

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- The City Council approved a new ordinance banning exotic pets in public places at their Monday night meeting.

The measure prohibits exotic animals as well as household pets like dogs and cats from public places like parks and school yards. It also prevents people from bringing those animals -- both exotic and ordinary -- to community events or on city property even if controlled by a leash or other means. The only exception is service animals.

The fine for violating the ordinance is $100.

A public hearing was held prior to the unanimous council vote, but no one spoke for or against the measure.

Public hearings will be held at the next meeting on June 20, to discuss three resolutions before the council.

The three tabled resolutions include an authorization for a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application for Brookside Park, and acceptance of two donations -- $465.41 for the Recreation Department and $6,413 for Bickford Place.

The CDBG for the Brookside Park

Pavement Maintenance Specialist Commercial & Residential

housing complex, owned by the Norwich Corporation is to help defray the cost of refurbishment. The pending resolution notes that $470,000 of the total grant, if awarded, would be used for reconstruction and redevelopment. The remaining $30,000 would be used to offset the city’s administrative, legal and audit costs.

The donation to Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority (BIDPA) of $6413 is from two sources who are looking to share equally in the costs of furnishing the fountained plaza between Main and Pleasant Streets. Both the Berlin Main Street Program and Chapman Scrap Metal and Demolition have each pledged $2547, as has the city council to make up the $7641 cost of the outdoor furniture.

The Main Street Program is also funding two garbage disposal units at the plaza at a cost of $1320.

The final resolution under consideration is to accept the donations to the recreation department for their Easter Eggstravaganza event. Donations of both cash and goods were received from anonymous sources as well as Gill’s Flower Shop, Verizon Wireless, Coulombe Real Estate and Lena Boucher.

thing will point them to Berlin,” said Savage.

Balon noted that at that junction there is the road to the reservoir.

Savage said the state would put up signage: “No ATVs permitted.”

Oliver said that if there are problems and the selectmen are getting complaints, they will shut the trail down.

Sanschagrin emphasized that “ATVers tend to police themselves.

We get people from Massachusetts and Rhode Island who come up here.

They love it so much they don’t want to see the trails closed or taken away.

They will say to the nonconforming ATV, ‘Stop that.’ I’ve seen it work.

Their trails are being shut down in Massachusetts and Rhode Island!” he said.

by Abigail Van Buren

CHURCH TEACHER DODGING DATES SHOULD SAY ‘NEVER ON SUNDAY’

DEAR ABBY: I am a 48-year-old single male. I teach an adult Sunday school class. Two women who have joined our group have made it plain they would like to have a romantic relationship with me.

I’m not sure how to handle this. I’d like to meet someone special, too, but I’m not certain this is the right way. Please advise. -- TROUBLED TEACHER IN THE SOUTH DEAR TROUBLED TEACHER: Tell the women you have a policy that you do not date your students. To do otherwise would be distracting and disruptive to the class. Once they have “graduated,” there is nothing to stop you from dating both of them. One may turn out to be that someone special you have been looking for, but if she’s not, you’ll have saved everyone from unnecessary drama.

DEAR ABBY: We are a gay couple who have been together for 37 years. We were recently invited to the wedding of a close nephew in San Antonio. The invitation was addressed to us both, and we flew 5,000 miles to attend.

At the ceremony, my partner, “Alan,” was seated in front with the groom’s family. While we were being shown to our seats, I was told by the groom’s father, “Sorry. You can sit somewhere else.” Alan and I were deeply offended.

How should we express our displeasure and prevent this from happening again when the niece marries? Do we have a right to say anything? -- SNUBBED IN HONOLULU DEAR SNUBBED: Of course you do. The groom’s father

was extremely rude to separate you. The person who issued the wedding invitation should be informed of how offensive it was. And if it happens again, the two of you should respond, “We are a couple, and we sit together.”

DEAR ABBY: My wife is a cancer survivor who is doing well. When a friend or relative learns she had cancer, a common response is, “Yeah, I knew someone who had the same kind of cancer. It was awful. It came back six months later and he/she died an agonizing, terrible death.”

Abby, it’s hard to remain polite around such thoughtless, moronic individuals when they blurt out something like this in my wife’s presence. I can’t imagine the fear she must experience hearing such remarks. Can you offer an effective retort? -- BAFFLED BY THE IGNORANCE DEAR BAFFLED: Remarks such as you have described usually are made when people don’t know what to say, so they blurt out the fi rst thing that comes to mind. A polite response would be, “Thanks for your concern. My wife is doing great.”

Of course the appropriate thing for friends and relatives to say would be, “I’m so glad you’re better -- I care about you and I was worried.” To raise the subject of someone who died from the disease is inappropriate and extremely insensitive.

There’s an old Portuguese proverb: Never mention a rope in the house of a man who has been hanged. It definitely applies here.

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

Giuliani seeks to fire up base and explore presidential run

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was in New Hampshire last week, saying he wanted to fire up the Republicans against President Barack Obama and explore a possible presidential run.

Giuliani, who ran for president in 2008, came to The Conway Daily Sun offi ce on Thursday. He said he wants to help ensure that a Republican beats Democratic President Barack Obama in 2012. He was in New Hampshire to give a speech and to gauge how much support he has should he decide to run for president.

“This president has done more damage to our economy than any American president ever,” said Giuliani who served two terms as New York City’s mayor from 1994 to 2001. “I don’t think there has ever been a time in which we sustained unemployment this high for so long since the depression.”

His level of motivation to run would depend on an assessment of the other candidates and whether or not they can beat Obama.

Also it would depend on his chances of winning versus someone else’s. Giuliani predicts the 2012 election will be close.

He said Obama makes excuses when he blames the country’s economic woes on the Bush Administration. Giuliani said those kinds of excuses would never fly when he was a mayor.

“People would have laughed at me,” said Giuliani. “He’s had every chance to straighten it (the economy) out and he’s made it worse” Giuliani’s prescription for fi xing the economy includes cutting spending and taxes, which would allow the private sector to create jobs. Obama doesn’t agree and that’s why the economy is struggling, according to Giuliani who wants to make government services leaner and more efficient.

For instance, he called for targeting budget cuts of 10 to 15 percent for all federal departments.

Budgets need to be made from the point of view of what the economy can afford. The economy won’t grow in an environment with high taxes.

“We (Republicans) correct our abuses,” said Giuliani assigning some blame to Bush. “We have been abusive in the amount of money we have spent.”

When pushed about the Bush tax cuts, Giuliani said they didn’t go far enough. He said the personal income tax could go down another 10 percent, the corporate tax should be lowered to 20 percent. As mayor of New York City, Giuliani said he ran one of the largest budgets in the U.S. During that time the city thrived when the sales tax was abolished. The tax cut also allows stores to hire more employees.

Giuliani was also critical of the Federal Reserve for pumping a dangerous amount of money into the economy.

“We’re fortunate we don’t have massive inflation right now,” said Giuliani. “I expect it will happen eventually because we spent so much money.”

David Ofsuryk captures Outlaw/Sportsman 50 Lapper

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GROVETON -- Newport Center Vermont’s David Ofsuryk took control of the race on lap 25 and fought off a stiff challenge from Sammy Gooden, and went on to win the special 50 lap $500 to win JA Corey/US Cellular Outlaw/Sportsman feature at Riverside Speedway in Groveton Saturday.

It was JA Corey/US Cellular and Proquip Rental night at the North Country’s site of excitement. First on the card was a pair of make-up features from the previous weekend. Ben Belanger started on the outside pole for the 25 lap Town & Country Motor Inn Street Stock feature. Belanger took the victory beating Jamie Swallow Jr. and Brett Rowell to the line.

Shawn Swallow went fourth and Nick Pilotte fi fth. Heat wins went to Belanger and Pilotte.

The second make-up feature was the Jiffy Mart Cyclones. Lancaster’s Cole Kilby covered the fi eld beating Jason Wyman and Chris Ouellette to the stripe. The Ainsworth crew rounded out the top fi ve, with the son holding off dad for the fourth spot. Jon Savage and Kilby won the heat events.

The almost perfect weather conditions provided the fans with caution free heat racing. That set up some spectacular feature racing throughout all the divisions.

The Griffi n Family Angel division kicked off the feature races. For the third week in a row, high school junior Shauna “The Rocket” Randall

made it three straight visits to victory lane with the checkered flag. Vanessa Brown finished in the runner-up spot with Shawna Whitcomb in third place.

Brown won the qualifier race.

It was an emotional victory lane for veteran driver Sparky Lapan in the Twisted Tea Dwarf Car division.

Lapan captured his first feature since 2000 and had a lot of family members to thank. Dennis O’Brien took runnerup honors and the very steady Dave Gyger fi nished third. Lapan made it a perfect night by winning the heat race.

In the Jiffy Mart Cyclone division, the #17 of Nick Miller took to the point early and was eventually chased down

by Milan’s Chris Ouellette. However, with 10 laps to go, the #88 of Jason Wyman made his way to the front and got by Ouellette. When the checkers flew it was Wyman, Ouellette and Miller in the top three. Travis Moulton and Jeff Ainsworth rounded out the top fi ve. Miller and Wyman had the heat victories.

The Budweiser Super Stocks were caution free and the #2 of youngster Nick Gilcris took home his first feature win in 2011. Gilcris was followed to the podium by Matt Carbone and David Allen. Shawn Hood and Trevor Roy were fourth and fifth place respectively. David Allen took the qualifier.

The Town & Country Motor Inn Street Stocks had a great race. The #07 of Robert Isham and the #7 of Cody LeBlanc raced side by side for the fi rst 15 laps. Jamie Swallow, Jr.,

made his way to the front from his last place starting position and eventually got by Isham to take the victory.

Isham was runner-up and Belanger third. Heat wins went to Belanger and Brett Rowell.

It was time for the big show as 15 Outlaw/Sportsman got ready for their 50 lapper. Jourdan Davis and Ron Watson brought the field to green. Davis took to the front with Watson and the #01 of Sammy Gooden looking to follow. A caution at lap 25 found the #73 of Ofsuryk take control of the race. Ofsuryk and Gooden began a side by side battle for several laps. On lap 34, Gooden was actually credited with the lead.

Unfortunately, Ofsuryk was dialed in and Vermont based racer began to

Huskies have to hold off Epping, 9-7 GORHAM -- Senior Doug Willey came in to squelch a seventh inning rally, lifting the Huskies to a 9-7 win over the Epping Mules in the opening round of the Division IV playoffs in Gorham Thursday. The win was a costly one for Gorham. Senior starting pitcher and lead-off hitter Brandon Sanschagrin may be lost for the remainder of the playoffs due to a dislocated left shoulder suffered in the fi rst inning of play, diving into home plate to score a run.

That got the Huskie coaching staff getting Willey ready in a hurry. “Brandon is a huge part of our team with

his leadership and his ability to play the game,” said coach Jean LeBlanc.

“Brandon is a very tough kid and to see him in that much pain was tough for his teammates. We had to get Doug loosened up in a hurry.”

Willey got through the second inning without giving up a run to the visitors.

Gorham tacked on another two in the bottom of the second inning to take a 3-0 lead. RBI hits by Pat Pike and Willey gave the Huskies a three run advantage.

Epping responded by getting a huge RBI hit from clean-up batter see HUSKIES page 19

Osgood in the top of the third inning. Osgood had a super day at the plate going 4-4. The hit cut Gorham’s lead to 3-2.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Gorham chased starter Sturzo from the mound, scoring six runs to take a 9-2 lead. Big hits came from Pike, a Cody LeBlanc double, and a Cody Gauthier 2 RBI double.

Gorham went to Gauthier to take over the mound duties. Epping touched up the junior lefty (4 walks) for three runs in the fifth to make it 9-5.

In the top of the sixth, Epping had a rally limited to one run. Willey came back in to get the final out against #5 hitter Al Santiago. The Huskies offense had suddenly stopped and Epping was set to take one final run at Gorham.

A single, a groundout, and a double, made it a 9-7 contest with the tying run coming to the plate. A close play at first base was made for the second out with the top of Epping’s batting order coming up.

Willey was given the call to try and end the Mule up rising. The big senior got the final out setting down the lead-off hitter on strikes for the two run victory.

“We will need to play better baseball if we want to move along to the next round,” said LeBlanc. “Losing Brandon will be a huge task to fill. However, we have the depth to do that and I know his team mates are going to play for him.”

The Huskies will play host to #5 Newmarket on Saturday.

Wild Stone: Climbing the unclimbed from the Arctic to Arabia GORHAM -- Kismet Rock Foundation Board member Sasha Eisele will host Sarah Garlick’s slide show at the White Mountain Cafe in Gorham on Friday June 10, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m..

Garlick’s multi-media presentation will feature new free climbing routes from the fjords of Greenland to the deserts of Jordan. Donations accepted at the door will support summer scholarships for Gorham students to attend Kismet in 2011.

With professional photography, audio clips, and short videos, Garlick tells stories from her latest two expeditions: a journey to the granite big walls of South Greenland, and an exploration of the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan. Garlick’s presentation focuses on the common core of both expeditions: a quest to fi nd—and climb—untouched cliffs in some of the world’s wildest locations.

Garlick talks about what it takes to be an expedition climber in the modern

era, from discovering an objective and putting together a team, to the inevitable ups and downs of the journey itself.

“Wild Stone” shares stories and images of Garlick’s 2010 expedition to Greenland, where she and her three teammates established a new, 2,000foot free route up a remote granite wall.

This expedition was supported by the prestigious Copp-Dash Inspire Award.

The presentation also premiers new photography and video footage from

an expedition to the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan this winter, where Garlick and fellow climber Caroline George established a new sandstone adventure route called Uprising.

Sarah Garlick is an avid rock, ice, and alpine climber from the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where she works as a science writer and educator.

Garlick is the author of an award-winning book, “Flakes, Jugs and Splitters: A Rock Climber’s Guide to Geology,” and her climbing adventures are supported by Outdoor Research and La Sportiva.
