SEC action against Laidlaw does Mill party not effect Berlin biomass project gaining steam BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN –Laidlaw Energy Group is one of 17 companies that has had its trading halted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All 17 trade in microcap or penny stocks on the over-the-counter market. Laidlaw Energy Group is part of the corporation that developed the biomass plant proposed for Berlin.

In the case of Laidlaw Energy, the SEC said, “questions have arisen concerning the adequacy and accuracy of press releases concerning the company’s operations, the accuracy of its financial statements, and stock promoting activity by the company”. “They may be called ‘penny stocks,’ but victims of microcap fraud can suffer devastating losses,” said Robert Khuzami, Director see SEC page 7

Historical Society head describes cause of late tax abatement request BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM—Apologizing for failing to realize that the Gorham selectmen would consider the Gorham Historical Society’s request for a tax abatement the previous week, GHS Chairman Reuben Rajala spoke for the orga-

nization during the selectmen’s meeting Monday. “It’s a pretty small operation,” Rajala told selectmen. “What comes in, goes out. We start out with the same amount of money (each year)—a little over $3,000 in dues and consee CAUSE page 3

BY BARBARA TETREAULT GORHAM – With the Gorham mill scheduled to re-open June 19, Friday’s celebratory painting party is gaining steam. U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte is expected to join her colleague, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen, and Gov. John Lynch in welcoming Patriarch Partners LLC to New Hampshire’s North Country. Patriarch Partners founder and CEO Lynn Tilton is hosting the event and has invited all union employees on the payroll when the mill closed last October to attend with their spouses. Food and drink is being provided. UWU Local 75 spokesman Eddy Deblois said workers should not come prepared to paint since the event is designed to be more celebratory in nature with the dignitaries yielding the paintbrushes. The party is scheduled to run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Patriarch Partners closed on the purchase of the mill on May 13. It has since renamed the mill, Gorham Paper and Tissue.

GORHAM—The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s preliminary plan to remap the local flood plain raises serious questions, Mike Waddell told Gorham selectmen Monday. Among other things, the Ed Fenn School appears now to be entirely in the flood plain, which it was not before, and the boundaries of the flood plain along the Peabody River also appear to have been expanded, Waddell said. Waddell hopes to form a committee of professionals to study the plan in depth before public meetings are held see FEMA page 3

Homeless sue over neglected campus LOS ANGELES (NY Times) — It is a 387-acre campus of green fields and buildings in a prosperous Los Angeles neighborhood, donated to the federal government over a 100 years ago for use as a Pacific Coast home for wounded veterans. Over the last 20 years, advocates for the homeless say the campus has become a symbol of a system gone wrong: as veterans sleep on the streets, many of its buildings lay abandoned and one-third of the land has been leased for commercial use. Wednesday, advocates for the homeless filed suit against the Department of Veterans Affairs, seeking to compel federal officials to use the campus to care for and house mentally ill veterans. In the classaction suit, filed on behalf of homeless veterans, lawyers contend that the department has violated the terms of the agreement in which the property was deeded to the government in 1888. They also contend that the department is required — under a federal statute barring discrimination against the mentally disabled — to provide housing to help mentally ill veterans. The scope of the lawsuit is, to a certain extent, limited: if successful, it would apply only to those homeless veterans deemed mentally disabled.

Gates pushes NATO allies for more on Libya BRUSSELS — (NY Times) — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates prodded Germany, Turkey and several other NATO allies on Wednesday to commit more military force to push Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi from power, even as NATO warplanes sharply increased strikes on Libyan government and military targets. Mr. Gates, addressing a two-day session of NATO defense ministers, put the

spotlight on five countries he said should do more to carry out the United Nations Security Council resolution authorizing the use of force in Libya. Mr. Gates said that the Netherlands, Spain and Turkey — which are participating in the mission, but have forbidden their warplanes to strike ground targets — could do more. And he called on Germany and Poland — which have

Banks defeated in Senate vote over debit card fees

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Senate refused to delay new rules that would sharply cut the fees that banks can charge retailers to process debit card transactions. The debit card rules were a major part of the Dodd-Frank financial regulation law passed last year. The Senate vote on Wednesday afternoon was the first major challenge to the new law. Although 54 senators voted in favor of the delay, the measure, which was sponsored by Senator Jon Tester, a Montana Democrat who is facing a tough re-election battle next year,

and Senator Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican, failed to garner the 60 votes that were required for it to pass under Senate rules. Forty-five senators voted against the measure. Even with the defeat, the vote represented a remarkable come-frombehind lobbying campaign by banks to recover from the drubbing they took during the anti-Wall Street atmosphere that prevailed last year. The debit card measure, sponsored by Senator Richard J. Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, passed last year by a two-to-one ratio after little debate and no hearings.

Syrian leader’s brother seen as enforcer of crackdown (NY Times) — As reports mount of defections in the Syrian military and the government staggers from the killing of soldiers and police officers in a northern city this week, President Bashar al-Assad may turn increasingly to his brother, Maher, whose elite units in a demoralized army could prove decisive to his government’s survival, activists and analysts say. Maher al-Assad heads the Syrian Army’s elite Fourth Division and Republican Guard, while wielding great influence in Syria’s powerful intelligence services, analysts say. In the nearly three-month uprising, he has emerged as a lightning rod of dissent over his perceived role in the ferocious crackdown that has led to the deaths of 1,300 people, by activists’ count, and the arrests of more than 10,000. Maher al-Assad’s power has underscored the narrow circle his brother presides over — a circle that relies on connections of clan, family and friendship, and that has proved far less tested by crisis than the ruling elite their father cultivated over three decades.

tributions. The Town contribution is an important part of the historical society budget.” Rajala said that the only variation is the occasional grant money or special fund. He said the society’s biggest limitation is the small membership as compared with the membership of the Bethel Historical Society and that of Conway. “We are only open four-and-a-half months in the year, due to lack of insulation and heat in the Depot. It has the potential to be year ‘round, but it will take $100,000 to get the depot in shape for year round operation,” he added. He noted the small window of time to generate revenue, noting that most is from donations, often from out of town. “We plow it right back into the operation—to pay phone, electrical, insurance, propane for heating. We pick away at a multitude of maintenance work as needed as we can. It’s a function of money and of people being available to do the work,” he said. He said the society has applied for grants to complete the diesel project, but noted that Gorham is in competition with other, larger, year ‘round operations who attract tens of thousands of visitors. “That doesn’t mean we can’t get grants, but it’s a tough road,” he said. He said that often grant organizations are looking for matching funds and labor. While the Gorham Historical Society has some labor available, matching dollars is difficult. “If we have to pay property tax, we will have just enough resources to pay to keep the place open, but none for making matches as we go after grants,” he said. He noted that the Moffett House recently got a grant of some $30,000 to $40,000, “but they had to put in $6,000 to $7,000 to get that kind of money.” Selectman David Graham asked how many people work at the Depot. Rajala said that recently the GHS has had two trainees, both were retired or semi retired. They were paid for 20 hours a week. “They work for Tri County CAP,” Rajala said, noting that because of budget set backs, the workers were cut from 20 hours to 10. He said GHS had started out with two people—one who could work on the database and another to be a guide. Now the Society is down to ten hours from this source. “Volunteers pop in and out,” he said. “Typically people work during the week and can only give a day or half day.

Some are available only on weekends.” He said that if it weren’t for the few volunteers GHS has, the Depot would be only open on the weekends. He noted that RSVP and other volunteer programs may get cut off completely (from working for GHS). If that happens, I don’t know what we would do,” Rajala said. “Finding volunteers to run the organization on a regular basis is extremely difficult. It’s one thing to put on a spaghetti dinner. It’s another to run an organization,” he said. Selectman Paul Robitaille said that the (town) conference has been having meetings on fundraising. He suggested such a seminar might give Rajala some ideas. Rajala pointed out that when he ran the trails program at the AMC “a lot of us were involved in grants and fundraising. Tim Sappington has had some experience in going after grants, as have I,” he said. Rajala said that the grants the society has gotten are moving the diesel project forward but that the society needed to have a capital campaign for the Depot and to raise money for an endowment to cover operating costs. Robitaille asked what kind of help might be useful to keep the Society’s paper work up-to-date so a request for tax abatement might not fall through the cracks again. Rajala confessed that the paper work had been set aside as something that presented a daunting prospect but that the Society is transitioning to a new treasurer. “We have goals to achieve, but we are not there yet,” he said. Robitaille noted that the selectmen want to help the historical society. “Let us know how we can help,” he said. Graham suggested that the Society have a table at public events to help inform people about the Gorham Historical Society. Rajala replied with a list of things that are underway. He said he has talked with Nathan Corrigan about having information on a table during the 4th of July celebrations or at the American Legion table. He said there will be a remake of Mike Eastman’s sesquicentennial shirt with a slight change in the text so it will be special for this year as a fundraiser. Another 2011 shirt will have a steam engine drawing with a beluga whale in a crate being shipped to Boston. The Society wants to reorder Gorham’s history by Nathaniel True, but needs pre-orders of 25. The society hopes to have a speakers bureau and various events that will generate publicity as well as involve visitors and

residents. All this, he noted, will be done with “only a handful of people.” The model railroad exhibit need to be rewired, he added. “It hasn’t been running well for the last two years. The model railroad needs consistent power. If it doesn’t work, visitors don’t donate,” he said. “We are making progress,” he concluded, “ but it is a function of limited resources and volunteers.” Don Provencher disputed Rajala’s conclusion. “I would be remiss if I didn’t speak to the board about my past involvement of over 30 years of blood, sweat and tears, heart and soul in comparison with what I heard earlier, particularly about the model railroad,” he said. “The gentleman we had there who chose to step aside, had that running in tiptop shape.” Provencher said he had worked on securing a land lease for the property and he remembers well the abatement report. He said he personally delivered it to Mary Jane Ames (past treasurer) “who was very competent.” FEMA from page one

by agents of New Hampshire’s map modernization program of the New Hampshire Office of Energy and Planning, which is doing the remapping. The meetings are planned for July 21, at the Milan Town Hall from 2-4 p.m. and Lancaster Town Hall from 6-8 p.m. At these meetings, the public will be able to ask questions about the mapping. Following the meetings, a 90 day appeal period will be instituted, but not before a two week warning has been sent to the town hall, according to Jennifer Gilbert, CFM, Floodplain Management Coordinator, NH Office of Energy and Planning. The preliminary maps can be found at www.granit.unh.edu/dfirms, the web site of the New Hampshire GRANIT Flood Insurance Study and Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps repository. The remapping started several years ago, said Waddell. Recently the Town of Gorham received a preliminary Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map of this new study plus a three-foot thick book of data and a CD, presumably with the same data.

He said that she filled out the proper paper work and hand delivered it (to the town). Provencher added that he had protected the Society and the rail exhibit by having “Proper signage up there and that is not up there and I would be very concerned with people climbing up the sides of the cars,” he said. “Someone will be badly hurt. I also take offense that two trees which I planted there have been cut down.” “Things ran very well in the past over there and you have a good idea as to what took place,” he said. “We did one hell of a job over there and we were up against some awful obstacle. We ran a tight ship and a good show. The registers over there speak for themselves,” he said. Rajala replied that he took issue with the facts in every comment Provencher made. “If you have issues or concerns, bring them to the board. ... I take issue with your statement that things were hunky dory because they weren’t,” he said. Selectman chairman intervened to say, “That’s the end of discussion!” “The town needs to dispute some of what they (FEMA) came up with,” Waddell said. “For example, I don’t believe the increased flood elevations for the lower village are accurate. I don’t believe the dramatic increases on the Peabody are accurate. I think they need to actually pay some attention to some areas in town that they didn’t do anything with in the way of defining actual flood ways as opposed to flood plains, and also, (there are) elevations to the flood plain that don’t exist (in reality).” The question of flood ways is important, he noted, because “if you are in a flood way, you can’t do anything, you can’t build or improve. If they don’t show where the flood way is and treat the entire zone as flood way, that is bad news if a person is in a zone that floods without a current, (i.e. where water spreads but is not propelled along by a current—the flood plain).” These flood plain/flood way delineations are important for a variety of reasons, not the least because homeowners buying in the flood plain need to buy flood insurance. Typically this insurance costs around $10 per $1,000.

There are still honest people in the world To the editor: We returned to Berlin again this year for the car show and had dinner at the new restaurant, Tea Birds, and had a very good meal. When we left, Judy forgot her bag which had cash and of course many worldly belongings. What luck, there are still honest people in our world

Join in restoring Brown School playground To the editor: Parents for Playgrounds is off to a good start, but they have a long way to go to reach their goal of replacing the wooden playground structures at Brown School. The current playground has become of concern to several parents, teachers and staff. One of the basket ball hoops has been broken several times. Graffiti covers many of the inside surfaces of the maze. Children are getting splinters and scrapes constantly from the dry, cracked and broken sections of wood. The supports are now covered by stones and pose tripping hazards. More than 20 years ago the residents and businesses of Berlin banded together to build this playground, and it has been and still is loved by the children who play there, but the time has come to replace it with newer and safer equipment. To kick off their fund raising efforts they will be hosting a Family Dance

on Sunday, June 12 from 3-5 pm at the Berlin Rec Center. Children ages 3-9 and their parents are welcome. Admission is $5 per child, adults are free! There will be a bake sale and great raffles during the dance as well. This is open to all kids, not just Brown School Students. So, get your dancing shoes on! They will be painting the blacktop on Saturday, June 25, starting at 9 a.m. (weather permitting) as well. All you need to bring is a paint brush or two and a willingness to help. If you have old brushes that you’d like to donate, please drop them off any time after 8 a.m. that day. You can follow the progress on Facebook at www. facebook.com/pages/ Brown-School-Playground. If you would like to help but are not sure how, you may donate to the fund directly by sending checks made out to Brown School Playground Fund see PLAYGROUND page 5

Once upon a Berlin Time Saloon early 1900s

Saloons

Hello fellow Berlinites. Many times, people have asked me to talk about all the bars that once stood on Main and Pleasant Streets in Berlin. My answer is always the same and that is “What would you like me to say about them”? The reason that I say this is because I use between 1,200-1,300 words to write each one of my stories and that is way too much to say that these places just existed. There is nothing about these places in the old Berlin newspapers and history except where they were situated, so it is a very difficult subject on which to expand. The only time a story would make to the paper is if some news event happened at one of these places and fist fights were not big events back then. After prohibition in the 30s, 40s, and 50s, this city did have quite a few bars that both the mill men and loggers would frequent, but no stories about these bars were ever written or really passed down. A story that I did find took place at the turn of the century and showed up in the papers of late winter 1900, just before the city election. I would like to share this one with my readers. During the pre-election Mayor Frank period of the year 1900 in Wilson Berlin, the Reverend John B. Carruthers of Berlin’s Congregational Church had been taking a stand against the saloons in the city of Berlin 110 years ago and headed up a large temperance movement. Mr. Carruthers, who served as pastor from 1893 to 1901, was chosen by a number of residents to run for office of mayor on the Independent Citizens Party ticket and clean up the corruption that was taking place daily in this city. With this, the Reverend Carruthers made up his mind that he would do so and filed his paperwork with the proper authorities. It was deemed fitting by the citizens who were the prime movers in this matter that

he should make a statement. He did this so that people who wanted to sustain him knew what attitude he intended to take if he were elected as mayor of the “Paper City”. The reason that Carruthers was chosen was because of his stand against the open disregard of city officials on the part of men engaged in the saloon business. He said that the defiance of law and its enforcement on the part of these administrators, together with the daily increase of crime and lack of morals in the city had driven him. The other two parties did not deny nor excuse this, but did not want to cope with it. Therefore, it became necessary for the law abiding citizens, regardless of party affiliations, religion or temperance views to take a stand against this so called nest of Rev. J. B. Carruthers corruption and clear the way for something different. The pastor went on to say that the recent refusal of the city representatives, in view of the corrupt conditions here, had opened the eyes of many. These many were not aware of the state into which Berlin had fallen, by allowing the saloon men and their allies to have control in this growing city. Berlin, Carruthers reiterated, with its large industries, ought to be noted for its push and enterprise through all of New England, but instead it was noted for its crimes and general rottenness of morality. Men, who had seen the world, declared back then that Berlin was one of the toughest places in the United States. The reverend said the reason that Berlin had this reputation was because of its saloons and gambling dens. It was here, he said, that at certain times of the year, professional gamblers were hired to fleece our working citizens, loggers and river men of see SALOONS page 5

their hard earned money. People from outside of the area claimed that Berlin was the place for a good time without being interfered with by the law. Carruthers thus claimed that Berlin was becoming the dumping ground for moral filth in the state. This was being caused by our indifference and encouragement to crime and lawlessness that we practically put at the gates of this city. It was an invitation to dump your rubbish here and some of the surrounding towns had not been slow in accepting the offer. At very lowest estimate, Carruthers believed that Berlin had, along with drug stores and hotels, thirty saloons whose business it was to sell liquor and gamble. The citizens had been told repeatedly and it was freely talked about on the streets, that these saloons were a financial asset to the city. Here was the reverend’s math: There were thirty saloons, with two men for each bar. That made sixty men at $2.00 per day or $720 in a six day week. This amounted to $37,440 per year. Now, thirty buildings at $800 yearly for rent was $24,000. Add this amount to the men’s wages and the total was close to $62,000. This was the amount that it cost the citizens of Berlin for men and places to supply the people of this city with their liquor. The reverend said that a “Minister Mayor” might not know how to run the finances of this city, but he could find a cheaper way to supply the citizens with liquor for medical or mechanical purposes. The drug stores had the privilege to keep and use alcohol for medical reasons, but when this drug store became a common saloon, Carruthers believed it should have been treated as one. The resentment against the corruption of our city had assumed such proportion and so many men of position and standing had promised him their support, that they no longer considered the movement merely a protest. It was a struggle for the supremacy of right of good government and the

help them reach their goal. They believe that the community will again support the children of Berlin by giving them a wonderful gift that can be enjoyed for years to come. Amy Welch Berlin prospects seemed favorable for victory. “If everyone who felt that there was need for change worked for it, then I am in the field and propose to stay until the last vote is cast for the election of mayor”, the reverend said. The minister also stated that “our hope of success in this movement was not alone with the merchants, but the working men who saw the evils of the saloons every day among their fellow employees”. “If the people sustained this movement back then, the third party was sure to win. It appeared that if their could be an overturn in the city of Berlin, there would be better ethics, less drunkenness, happier homes and the black clouds that hovered over our city would be dispersed”, declared Carruthers. So, in March of 1900, Berlin had three candidates for mayor. They were Frank Wilson, a Democrat, Charles S. Clarke, a Republican and John Burr Carruthers, an Independent for the Citizens Party. It sounded like a sure victory for temperance and a clean up movement for Berlin, but it wasn’t to be. Although the Citizens Party made a commendable showing in this election, they lost to the Democratic candidate Frank Wilson. The results were a surprise to many, but showed that there was a strong sentiment without regard to party affiliations for a change in the moral conditions of Berlin that existed in the year 1900. With this, it was suggested that the new city government take a good hard look at the saloon matter and they did. Many saloons and gambling joints were shut down and others were ordered to open only during certain hours. This must have been a rough and tumble city in which to live back then. No wonder we always heard these stories from our parents and grandparents. The saloon pictured in this story was on the lower east corner of Pleasant and Mason Streets in the early 1900s. It even had spittoons for its customers. Questions or comments email poof@ne.rr.com. Also, become a fan of “Once upon a Berlin Time” on Facebook and guess at the weekly mystery picture.

Always presenting a funny, familyfriendly show, he brings laughter and good times with him wherever he goes. Tickets are $12 and $6 and will be sold at the door.

Tim was born and raised in Maine and has never lived anywhere other than the Pine Tree State. Tim’s first album of Downeast humor was recorded in 1979 and produced by Noel Paul Stookey, with liner notes by the late humorist Marshall Dodge, who created the world-famous Bert and I recordings back in the 1950s. Tim has also written and illustrated over a dozen books, including bestsellers Saturday Night at Moody’s Diner and his most recent Maine Curiosities Second Edition. He has also been a popular guest on The Today Show and Good Morning

America.

SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “The SEC’s new Microcap Fraud Working Group is targeting the insiders and promoters, as well as the transfer agents, attorneys, auditors, brokerdealers, and other “gatekeepers” who flourish in the shadows of this lessthan-transparent market.” George Canellos, Director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office, added, “The investing public does not have accurate or adequate information about these securities to use in making informed investment decisions. Nonetheless, stock-touting websites, twitter users, and often anonymous individuals posting to Internet message boards have hyped many of these companies, and these promotional campaigns have been followed by spikes in share price and trading volume.” Berlin BioPower issued a press release yesterday clarifying that Laid-

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- Pending one last look by attorneys and signatures from both sides, the city and the the Androscoggin Valley Regional Refuse Disposal District (AVRRDD) have reached an agreement to collaborate on wastewater treatment. The agreement unanimously approved by the City Council on Monday night, was the culmination of negotiations between the city and the agency that ensued after the AVRRDD was told that their EPA license to treat leachate at the Burgess Plant would have to be altered, City Manager Pat McQueen explained. Under the negotiated agreement the city will treat leachate from the Mount Carberry Landfill at their Shelby Street waterwater treatment plant. Mayor Paul Grenier told councilors before the vote that since the cost to contract the treatment of the wastewater to the city was a fraction of the cost AVRRDD would have incurred to build their own plant the plan was a “winwin for both parties.” The agreement not only allows AVRRDD to comply with federal regulations at a reduced cost, but also adds a user to the city system to generate more revenue. The only downside, Grenier noted, was that the valley will lose one treatment plant permit with the shuttering of the Burgess facility. According to the draft agreement, the district will pay the user fee in addition to an annual surcharge of $14,600 to cover the cost of treating the TKN (Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen) in the leachate, over and above what would be found in residential/commercial wastewater.

According to Wikipedia TKN is the “sum of organic nitrogen, ammonia (NH3), and ammonium (NH4+)” in water or soil. In addition to the yearly surcharge, the AVRRDD will also pay two onetime surcharges. An inflow/infiltration surcharge of $95,500 for mitigation is payable prior to the district connecting to the system. An upgrade to the existing aeration system at the wastewater treatment plant is also needed in order for the city to properly handle the leachate, therefore the AVRRDD will pay $192,000 for that improvement. Though Mayor Grenier and City Councilor Tom McCue both sit on the AVRRDD board, they recused themselves from voting on this agreement when the matter came up last month, so that they could represent the city’s interest in the vote Monday night. McQueen said that the district hopes to award the bid for the work as early as June 16 to get the project moving forward. An easement across property owned by Public Service of New Hampshire has already been acquired by AVRRDD, according to Grenier. The council unanimously approved an easement across city property as well, on Monday evening. The effluent water pipe from the landfill to the treatment plant will run alongside Shelby Street. In other business, at Monday night’s city council meeting, two appointments were made. Joseph Lapuma was appointed to the ZBA as it’s fifth voting member. His term runs through April 2013. Christopher Burke was appointed as the first alternate member of the ZBA, with a term that runs through April 2014.

AMC evening program listing for the month of June Appalachian Mountain Club Pinkham Notch Visitor Center Saturday, June 4: Saving the Mountains: NH & the Creation of the National Forests This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Weeks Act, the law that created the eastern national forests. New Hampshire’s White Mountains played a leading role in events leading to the act. The program shows the impact of tourism, transportation, and industry (especially logging) had on the forests of the White Mountains. While many people give almost exclusive credit for the Weeks Act to the efforts of Gifford Pinchot and those working

to protect the southern Appalachians, it was the work of individuals in New England that made the movement a national one. The 1911 Weeks Act created a truly national forest system, authorizing the federal government to purchase and maintain land in the eastern U.S. as national forests. Neither federal nor state governments owned any substantial forested lands east of the Mississippi. Where mountains and forests met, tourist, timber, hotel, railroad, mining, textile, and agricultural groups competed to have the land meet their needs. The discussion grew contentious: Was it constitutional for the government

to purchase private lands for public conservation purposes? What impact would the purchase have on both the economic` and physical environments of the region? Was scenery of value? Presenter Marcia Schmidt Blaine, Department of History & Philosophy Plymouth State University. This program was made possible through a grant from the NH Humanities Council and is in celebration of the Weeks Act Centennial, for more information www.weekslegacy.org.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis becomes clear that someone likes you to a greater extent than you previously thought. You’ll wonder whether you can return this level of affection, but the truth is that you don’t have to right now. Enjoy the perks. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are too old to believe in monsters under the bed, and yet there are still doors you do not dare open. Now you’ll open one of them and encounter a joyful spirit on the other side. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are benefits to thinking about a past relationship and analyzing it as objectively as possible. Understanding why you made the choices that led you here, you’ll have tremendous respect and compassion for yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your suspicions are confirmed: You are indeed someone’s favorite person. You’ll get more evidence to support this conclusion today. Formal thanks may be in order. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re a risk taker. Sometimes you’re willing to lose what you have, but you’re never willing to gamble what other people have. You know your boundaries, and others admire you for staying inside them. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 9). A bright mood colors your year. You’ll attract fans and followers who share your unorthodox ideas. Traveling and cultural pursuits will be lucky for you in August, bringing you together with social and professional opportunities. In September, you’ll develop a passionate new interest. You’ll increase your income in November. Scorpio and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 24, 4, 1 and 49.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There is no “bored,” there is only “boring” -something you never want to be. That’s the reason you broaden your interests now, investigating a wide array of new amusements and different topics. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you can’t laugh at yourself, life is a sad, gray existence. Trying too hard to be smart, appropriate and correct can be a waste of life. Mess up and laugh -- it’s liberating. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re not glued to one particular mode of being. It’s your willingness to change that keeps you fresh and alive. People will have to run to keep up with you, and you won’t mind that one bit. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are too intelligent to be sure about anything today. An event will cause you to review what you know -- or what you thought you knew, because on closer inspection, not all of it will hold up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Life will become unpredictable, and you’ll like it that way. You can take it as a sign that you have expanded your consciousness and no longer have to be in familiar settings to feel safe. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have an extra dose of courage at your disposal now, and you’ll use it to meet new people, make a statement in front of a group or walk through a door that was closed to you before. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes you push yourself into a situation to get a sense of whether or not it will be good for you. But there are those times, like now, when it’s best to keep out of it and just do what you know is the right thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It

by Abigail Van Buren

NEAR-SIGHTED HOSTESS INSISTS GLASSES ARE FOR HER EYES ONLY

DEAR ABBY: I am severely myopic and can’t see without my prescription eyewear. Yet people continually ask me if they can “borrow” my glasses to read the menu. (I work as a hostess.) Abby, my glasses are not reading glasses; they are my eyes -- literally. When I explain this, I get snorts, grunts and muttered comments that I am “rude.” My husband says I should let them try on my glasses and cut out the explanation, as they would immediately realize that they can’t see through them. I disagree. I think it is inappropriate to even ask, let alone become offended when I politely refuse. Abby, I would like to explain the concept of reading glasses versus prescription eyewear: Most people do not walk around with reading glasses fully on their face. Reading glasses are often halfway down the nose or hanging around a person’s neck so they don’t impair his or her distance vision. If someone is wearing glasses full on their face -- they’re usually not reading glasses. If a person is wearing glasses, do not ask to borrow them. Instead, ask if there is a pair of reading glasses at the wait station or host stand. -- THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND DEAR “BLIND”: I’m printing your letter, but I warn you -- there are none so blind as those who will not see. For a stranger to expect to borrow someone’s glasses is presumptuous. If the bows were bent or the lenses were broken, you’d be in serious trouble. Talk to your employer about keeping a magnifying glass or several pairs of reading glasses in various strengths available for patrons who have forgotten theirs. Many restaurants do. With our aging demographic, it’s good business, because people order more when they can see the menu. DEAR ABBY: I’m a female manager in a male-dominated field, and a high-level corporate executive. I am good at what

I do, but sometimes I become impatient with subordinates who don’t “get it” like I do. I admit I prefer the company of some over others. Several years ago, a friendship with a subordinate turned into something more. I was -- and still am -- married with children. During this time I had to discharge another employee for substandard performance. Since he left he has sent me several unsolicited emails in which he has suggested that he knows about the affair I had with his former co-worker and feels he didn’t receive fair treatment because of it. My former lover is no longer with the company, and I have done everything I can to put this behind me. I still worry, however, that the employee I let go may someday make the company aware of my indiscretions, or worse, my family. Abby, is there anything I can do to set the whole thing right? -- THREATENED IN THE NORTHWEST DEAR THREATENED: Let me get this straight. You say you are good at your job as a manager, but you lose patience with subordinates who don’t “get” things as quickly as you do -- and play favorites among the employees in your department. If that’s not a hostile work environment, it’s at least one that’s very unpleasant. And you had an affair with one of them? Didn’t you know that you were leaving your company open to a lawsuit for sexual harassment? It appears that when you assumed the title of manager, you exceeded your level of competence. You have gotten yourself into a jam from which I can’t extricate you. Go to your superiors and tell them about the emails so the company can protect itself from a possible lawsuit for wrongful termination. Stop deluding yourself and face the consequences of any indiscretion you have made because you have placed not only yourself, but also your employer, in jeopardy.

Berlin Farmers’ Market to begin on June 23

BERLIN -- Berlin’s Farmers’ Market will begin on June 23, and run until September 15, every Thursday from 3-7 p.m. According to Laura Jamison, Berlin market coordinator, the environmental benefits of supporting a local farmers’ market are numerous. The produce is locally grown within 100 miles of Berlin and the other foods sold there are, like breads and pies are also locally sourced. Some of the produce you’ll find uses less, if any, pesticides than the produce sold at grocery stores. Food safety issues are less likely when you know where your food comes from. It also helps you support local farms and the community. Aside from all of the green benefits of farmers’ markets, it’s also fun and you can get high quality produce while saving money, Jamison said. She offered some tips to help you maximize your farmer’s market shopping experience: • Bring your own bags. It’s an obvi-

ous one, but one that’s easy to forget. Bringing a cooler can also be helpful once the weather heats up some more. • Bring cash and bring smaller bills when possible. It’s easier on the vendors when they don’t have to break a $20 bill for just a few dollars of produce. An ATM is located at Northway Bank nearby. • Go early, or go late. The highest quality merchandise and the broadest selections are there just as the market opens, but if you go towards the end, you can often get some great deals. • Ask about pesticide usage. Some items might not be USDA certified organic, but they might still be low on pesticide use or totally pesticide-free. Certification can be very costly for smaller farms, in spite of not being certified organic, the produce might still be grown in an organic fashion. • Get to know the farmers and vendors. Usually they’re happy to answer any questions you might have about

their produce, products, recipes and their farm. • Expect more than just produce. Berlin’s farmers’ market sells local meats, baked goods, maple syrup, hard cider, crafts, and sometimes something for dinner. There is even live entertainment from 5-7 p.m. at every market! • Learn what’s in season and with that knowledge, plan your meals ahead of time. This helps you get the highest quality seasonal produce for your meals. • Try something new. You might come across some funky-looking vegetable that you’ve never seen at the grocery store before. The varieties of heirloom tomatoes and baked breads are worth exploring! Give it a shot! It could be your new favorite food. • Bring the family. Teach your kids that going grocery shopping doesn’t have to be a boring experience and educate them about the importance of supporting local farms and local

businesses. You can even find young entrepreneurs willing to talk about what it is like trying to earn money for summer camp. • EBT/SNAP Benefits are accepted by the market organizers. When you want to use your card, the vendor will give you a receipt to have your total swiped on the EBT/SNAP card machine at the Local Works tent. • Parking is encouraged at the city municipal parking lot off of Pleasant Street. Bathrooms are available at TBA Princess Theater on Main Street. “Most of all, have fun! Berlin farmers’ market is a great social event, so take advantage. The food is fantastic, it supports the community, creates local jobs and it’s good for the environment. Enjoy yourself! See you there!” Jamison concluded. Berlin LocalWorks Farmers’ Market starts on June 23, at Mechanic Street on Thursdays from 3p.m. to 7 p.m. FMI:lauralocalworks@gmail. com or 723-1004
