Quick thinking duo win awards Berlin man BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

st It’s almo here!.

Berlin’s Annual Sidewalk

MOUNT WASHINGTON—Mount Washington State Park staff members Joan Veilleux and Bill Fiske each received an award Thursday for their quick thinking and cool leadership in saving the life of a man stricken with cardiac arrest at the summit last August. The awards were given by the Northern New Hampshire Emergency Medical Services Council. Diane Bunnell, EMS Education Specialist of the New Hampshire Department of Safety, Division of Fire Standards and Training and Emergency Medical Services, Northern NH EMS Field Offi ce, traveled to the summit

Thursday to present the awards. “Their fast action epitomizes how training and good coordination enabled a life to be saved,” said Bunnell. “Good decisions were made all along the line. The fact that the man (name withheld) survived cardiac arrest on Mount Washington is very unusual.” It was unusual because full medical facilities are miles away and ambulances cannot ascend higher than the two mile mark on the Auto Road; the heavy vehicles, laden with medical devices, are not equipped with powerful enough brakes to handle the steep ascent/descent. That means that the critical fi rst moments following a cardiac incident at the summit depend on the training and see DUO page 6

Guard helicopter used to rescue injured hiker BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

A Center Conway man got plucked from the woods on the side of Mount Adams by a helicopter after he slipped descending and hurt his knee on Saturday. Allen Gould, 54, was trying to get consults with doctors on Monday about repairing the damage, but he did have one thing to say about his ride: “I’d rather pay $120 at the Fryeburg Fair.” Gould was hiking down the Spur Trail with a partner below Crag Camp, according to Fish and Game Offi cer Mark Ober, when

New for Aspiring Doctors, the People Skills Test

3DAYFORECASTLOTTERY

ROANOKE, Va. — Doctors save lives, but they can sometimes be insufferable know-it-alls who bully nurses and do not listen to patients. Medical schools have traditionally done little to screen out such ﬂ awed applicants or to train them to behave better, but that is changing. At Virginia Tech Carilion, the nation’s newest medical school, administrators decided against relying solely on grades, test scores and hourlong interviews to determine who got in. Instead, the school invited candidates to the admissions equivalent of speed-dating: nine brief interviews that forced candidates to show they had the social skills to navigate a health care system in which good communication has become critical. Virginia Tech Carilion administrators said they created questions that assessed how well candidates think on their feet and how willing they are to work in teams. The most important part of the interviews are often not candidates’ initial responses — there are no right or wrong answers — but how well they respond when someone disagrees with them, something that happens when working in teams.

Changing tone, Obama pressures both parties on federal budget deal (NY TIMES) — President Obama challenged Republicans on Monday to live up to their demands to cut the nation’s deﬁcit and address its long-term debt by enacting spending cuts, revenue increases and changes to entitlement programs. “Now is the time to deal with these issues,” Mr. Obama said at the start of a news conference at the White House. “If not now, when?” The president also called on Congressional Democrats to be open to a deal

that would makes changes to entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, which some parts of the caucus have strictly opposed. Mr. Obama said he was continuing to push lawmakers for “as large a deal as possible” and said that Republicans should work toward the goal that they have said they wanted for months. “I’ve been hearing from my Republican friends for quite some time that it is a moral imperative to tackle our debt and

When judges override juries, death is often the sentence WASHINGTON (NY TIMES) — Alabama allows judges to reject sentencing decisions from capital juries, which sounds like a sensible idea. You might want a mature and dispassionate jurist standing between a wounded community’s impulse toward vengeance and a defendant at risk of execution. “If you didn’t have something like that,” said Judge Ferrill D. McRae, who spent 40 years on the bench in Mobile before he retired in 2006, “a jury with no experience in other cases would be making the ultimate decision, based

on nothing. The judge has seen many, many cases, not just one.” What Justice Marshall probably did not anticipate, though, was that judges in Alabama would not use their power for mercy — that they would, in fact, be even tougher than juries. Since 1976, according to a new report, Alabama judges have rejected sentencing recommendations from capital juries 107 times. In 98 of those cases, or 92 percent of them, judges imposed the death penalty after juries had called for a life sentence.

A top British leader urges Murdoch to drop TV deal LONDON — Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg on Monday became the most senior ofﬁ cial to publicly urge Rupert Murdoch to drop a $12 billion bid by his embattled News Corporation for Britain’s most lucrative satellite broadcast company, British Sky Broadcasting, as the government sought advice on possible regulatory proceedings. The developments deepened the fallout from The News of the World phone-hacking scandal that has been transformed from a long-simmering controversy into a full-blown crisis swirling around Mr. Murdoch’s British operation, News International, and its chief executive, Rebekah Brooks.

Shea wins her fifth Newton’s Revenge PINKHAM NOTCH — The woman everyone favored and the man hardly anyone had heard of shared the winners’ podium Saturday in the sixth annual Newton’s Revenge, the first of two annual bicycle races up the 7.6mile Mount Washington Auto Road. Dereck Treadwell, 36, of Laurens, N.Y., a triathlete and former track star who had never raced a bicycle hillclimb before, outpedaled the Mount Washington veterans to take the men’s race in 57 minutes, 41 seconds (the record is 49:24 set by Thomas Danielson, of East Lyme, Conn., in 2002 — he is currently the top American rider in the Tour de France). To do so, Treadwell was obliged to start fi ve minutes behind the “Top Notch,” or elite, fi rst wave of riders, and ride much of the race solo before eventually passing all but a half dozen of the Top Notch group and recording the fastest net time of the day. Meanwhile, 48-year-old Marti Shea of Marblehead, Mass., showed her usual form, blazing from the starting line along with the top men in the fi eld and grinding up the auto road’s relentless 12 percent grade to the 6,288-foot summit in one hour, 4 minutes, 12 seconds (record is 58:14 set by Jeannie Longo in 2000) to win the women’s race handily for the fi fth time in as many attempts. Offi cially a novice to Mount Washington, Treadwell was seeded in the second of the race’s four waves of starters. Quickly dropping the rest of his wave, he pedaled smoothly ahead, but out of sight behind the experienced lead pack. Chris Yura, of Philadelphia; Tim Tapply, of Sherborn, Mass.; and Gerry Clapper, of Avon, Conn., led the way for the fi rst six miles of the race, with dogged pursuit by local favorite Austin Orth, of North Conway; Irishborn John Bayley, who lives in Watertown, Mass.; and another newcomer, Duncan Douglas of Rochester, N.Y. For a while it was Douglas who appeared to be the story of the day. A 45-year-old National Guard reservist and doctor who missed last year’s race because he was serving in Afghanistan, Douglas followed Yura, Tapply, Clapper and others while they battled for the lead. He remained several seconds behind, as Bayley and then Orth moved forward where the Auto Road’s pavement turns to dirt before the fivemile mark. As clouds buried the upper slopes of the highest peak in the Northeast, Yura maintained a small lead with a

mile and a half to go, but Tapply and Orth were gaining on him, and Douglas was picking off one rider after another. Just before the ultra-steep final 70 yards to the summit, Douglas took the lead from Tapply, then held off Orth’s fi nal charge to cross the fi nish line with 1:02:09 showing on the clock. Half a minute later, however, the picture changed, as Treadwell’s tall red-clad frame emerged from the mist and wheeled across the line. The clock showed 1:02:41, but his actual time would be five minutes faster than that – making him the winner in what would have looked like a runaway if he had started in the first group. “I was surprised (the race management) didn’t let me into the Top Notch group,” said Treadwell after the race, warming up inside the summit building on a classically chilly summer day on the mountain. According to the race’s rules, however, he did not qualify for that group, given too few previous bike races. No matter. “I went out too hard,” he said, “but I caught people pretty quickly.”

Gun-Free School Zones A teacher meeting was just ending in my room a couple of years ago when the school secretary announced over the loudspeaker that the school was going into lockdown. Students were in their “Unified Arts” classes, which used to be known as gym, shop, home ec, and art. Emergency procedure dictated that I stay in my room with the door locked, the lights out, and out of sight of anyone who might look in the windows. Cowering in the face of a threat is not in my nature, however. I knew I was supposed to sit there quietly and let the appropriate authorities deal with whatever the threat was, but I couldn’t. I looked out into the hallway to see what was going on. Policemen were searching student lockers which were lined up on either side of the wide corridor. Later, I learned that someone had scrawled “I have a gun” on a wall in one of the girls’ bathrooms. The principal decided to take the threat seriously and called police. Hence, the lockdown. Before learning that, however, I ran the possibilities through my mind of what the threat might be. In declining order of likelihood, I figured it could be an irate parent who felt aggrieved by a custody decision. It could also be a deranged student or students reenacting a Columbine-type episode, or, least likely, it could be a terrorist attack. Whatever it was, I knew one thing: because of screwball Gun-Free School Zones Act enacted during the Clinton Administration, we could all be assured that the perp would be the only one with a weapon and all the rest of us would be at a distinct disadvantage as his unarmed victims. Feeling the familiar frustration of the many ways federal intervention had screwed up public education during my then-35-year teaching career, I reflected on the what I’d recently taught my students about “gun-free zones” as part of a Second Amendment lesson. Fox News had put together an effective, short satire on them in the form of an infomercial. The pitchman explained the benefits of putting up “gun-free zone” signs in homes, businesses and public places. A potential robber with a gun would try to hold up a store. The owner behind the counter put his hands up and pointed to a “gun-free zone” sign, whereupon the robber put down his gun and left the store in frustration. Then he repeated the scenario in a sidewalk mugging and in a home invasion. Students caught on immediately to the absurdity of the whole “gun-free zone” concept.

Asked how many had guns in their homes, about two-thirds of my students raised their hands. We discussed the correlation between the high rate of gun ownership and the low crime rate here in Maine and in other rural areas of the country as well as the high correlation between strict gun control laws in our major cities and their high crime rates. All this came back to me when Chicago Mayor and former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel’s newly-appointed a new police chief blamed the National Rifle Association and Sarah Palin for the roving hoards of bandits and murderers terrorizing that city. “[It’s] federal gun laws that facilitate the flow of illegal firearms, into our urban centers across this country, that are killing our black and brown children,” he said. However, there are way more guns in Maine, per capita, than in Chicago, and lots of people here leave their doors unlocked and they don’t kill each other. As the saying goes: Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. In this case at least, a bumper sticker slogan easily trumps progressive “thinking.” The problem lies with people in Chicago, not the guns. All those Alinskyinspired community organizers have done a wonderful job in the Windy City, haven’t they? If a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged, do you think smug progressives would learn anything if they were forced to put up “Gun-Free Zone” signs in front of their own houses? When I first taught here in Maine back in 1977, I noticed students driving to school with rifles on racks across the rear windows of their pickup trucks. During November, they hunted before and after school, and so did many teachers including this writer. Parents dropping their children off in front of the school often had rifles visible in their vehicles as well. Then in the 1990s I found myself distributing notices to parents warning them against doing that anymore after the ludicrous Gun-Free School Zones Act was signed into law by President Clinton. The notice students were instructed to take home and give to parents said those parents could be arrested if they drove onto school grounds with their deer rifles or shotguns in their vehicles. This, progressives insisted, was going to make us all safer. God save us all from progressive do-gooders. Tom McLaughlin lives in Lovell, Maine.

Weeks Act: ‘One of the greatest pieces of legislation ever’ BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

Conservationists call the Weeks Act “one of the greatest pieces of federal legislation ever” — and with good reason. Passed by Congress in 1911, and sponsored by Lancaster native son and U.S. Rep. John Wingate Weeks of Boston, it achieved its goal of protecting and restoring the nation’s navigable waterways and thereby its forest lands here in the East. It ultimately led to the creation in 1918 of the White Mountain National Forest.

The centennial of the passage of the Weeks Act is being celebrated several ways this summer, including with a six-week Tuesday night lecture series at the Mount Washington Observatory’s Weather Discovery Center beginning July 12; and a celebration by the U.S. Forest Service and others at the base of the Mount Washington Auto Road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 29.

White Mountain history enthusiast and author Dave Govatski — who is to speak Aug. 2 as part of the six-week observatory series — gave the legislation credit. “The big thing with the Weeks Act,” said the Jefferson resident, “is that good legislation often takes a long time to get across what’s worth fighting for. Some times the rewards are greater when the struggle is the longest — and the Weeks Act was hashed out so long in Congress, that the final result was a good compromise and really good legislation.” In an article penned for the website, whitemountainhistory.org, Govatski added, “For the fi rst time, this law provided the federal government with the resources to buy land for the purpose of protecting the headwaters of navigable rivers. Since passage of the Weeks Act 100 years ago, 41 national forests were created containing 20 million acres in 24 Eastern states.” Where would we be today? Simply put, proponents note, had there been no Weeks Act a hundred years ago, there would be no White Mountain National Forest today — and just imagine how that would change everything in this tourismdependent region. “The forest is so much a part of our lives, that I think we often take it for granted,” says Bartlett selectman, state representative and active outdoorsman Gene Chandler. “It’s safe to say that the forest establishes our way of life up here. It pretty much defines what we do, between tourism, hunting, fishing, skiing and logging,” said Chandler, who is a staunch supporter of the White Mountain National Forest as a “Land of Many Uses” — a place where recreation, conservation and timber management all takes place. “It’s a national forest, not a national park, and there’s a big difference. Trust me, any time that comes up, I will be more than happy to straighten people out. I would fight that until my death,” said Chandler, who worked under legendary late local former Saco District ranger Verland “Swede” Ohlson back in the day. “We [town and state government] get along very well with the forest RECTIFIED from page 4

service — unfortunately, a lot of their decision making is not done locally. But the days of Swede Ohlson being able to run the forest his way are long gone,” said Chandler, a former state Republican House Speaker who is known for his conservative views. Tom Wagner, supervisor of the White Mountain National Forest, and others interviewed applauded the widespread support that supported the original legislation that led to the restoration of the forests in the East, including the creation of the heavilylogged over area that became White Mountain National Forest. “For me, the unique thing about the Weeks Act was the number of different constituencies that were involved that came across with this idea of what can we do to sustain this land and protect it for the future,” said Wagner in April. “I think the people involved 100 years ago would be pretty thrilled with what they accomplished — it’s not just a refl ection of the forest service but of all who have worked on it, both private and public,” added Wagner, a 32-year veteran of the U.S. Forest Service who has been at the White Mountain National Forest post for the past 10 years. Then and now To understand how much has changed in the 100 years since passage of the Weeks Act, and in the 93 years since White Mountain National Forest was created, take a look at historic photographs of the region. “One hundred years ago,” writes Govatski, “the White Mountain region was a different sight. Hundreds of photographs and articles depict a region of mountainsides stripped of trees from what was once virgin forest, streams choked with silt from eroding hillsides, and ash from forest fi res falling on nearby towns. Factory owners relying on water power bemoaned the fl ooding that occurred after heavy rains and the low flows during summer droughts. Hotel owners heard the complaints of the summer tourists who did not like the blackened slopes and streams choked with sawdust and silt. By the early 20th century, a growing consensus between widely diverse interests was building that something had to be see WEEKS ACT page 7

A driver felt awful for running over a lady on the corner of Pleasant and Mason Streets some months ago, but who is really responsible? How many people have to be run down before it gets straightened out? Isn’t one enough? One shouldn’t have happened in the fi rst place. This is just one example of how shoddy the United States of America is being run. H. Raymond Losier Berlin

equipment of the park staff, several of whom are Emergency Medical Technicians. Both Veilleux, a park ranger, “first responder”, and technical climbing instructor, and Fiske, a ranger and an EMT-B (basic), emphasized that it was teamwork by the staff present at the time that saved the man’s life. They credit excellent preparation by assistant park manager Diane Holmes, who is training manager for the staff, and instant practical help from Chris Uggerholt, Dona Sanborn, Kamri Moulton, Lindsay Aubin, and Nick Ramsay, for their success in the emergency. Fiske added, too, that some years ago Alan Clarke, fire chief in Sugar Hill, who also does Ski Patrol at Cannon, wrote the grant for defibrillators for both the Cannon Mountain and the Mount Washington State Parks. That grant caused the defibrillator to be at hand at the summit that helped the crew save the life at the summit last August. As Veilleux recalls it, it was about 6 p.m. on that August afternoon when the incident occurred. She and Fiske were on duty. She headed over to “get a snack at food service” when she saw “a man on the ground near the cocoa machine with four people around him.” “I called Bill. The man was not breathing,” Veilleux remembers. Fiske quickly did the “look, listen, feel” assessment and found no breathing. “He was empty of action,” he recalled. IDOL from page one

gouras, who is not wasting any time in her life. She has been the president of her class at Berlin High School for two years and was elected president again for her coming junior year, she is a sportswoman who plays varsity soccer, basketball and softball—the soccer on the boys varsity soccer team, and she is an honor student. When she was in the seventh grade, she won the mock American Idol competition at the Berlin Junior High School and competed in the competition every year she could. She’s been singing on her own forever. “I’ve always wanted to be on American Idol,” she said recently in an interview. “I finally decided it’s now or never.” Just in case coaching would help, she started taking lessons from Christian Labnon two weeks ago—the first time she has had formal singing lessons. “I decided if I’m going to go into this, I need help from another source than just myself,” she said. “He’s been a big help with breathing, how to make my

Fiske told Veilleux told to start CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). He ran to get the defibrillator and a portable oxygen trauma bag and “returned to the scene. He put the defibrillator pads on the man’s chest and he and Veilleux continued CPR until the machine indicated they had a “shockable rhythm.” “A big red button lights up and tells people to stay away,” Fiske continued. Pushing the button administers a shock and then the machine indicates that they should continue CPA for two minutes. After the two minutes, the machine indicated it was time for another shock. “We went through this cycle for a total of four shocks,” Fiske recalled. After the fi rst shock, the man had taken a big breath and his color was restored, they remembered, but the defi brillator indicated that normal heart action was not restored. Meanwhile the rest of the staff was busy. Dona Sanborn called 911 and she and other members of the staff took the seats out of a park van so the heart patient could be transported down to the two mile mark on the Auto Road to meet the ambulance. As soon as the van was ready, staff carried the man to the van, and, positioned with his head lower than his feet, he was transported down the Auto Road, Sanborn at the wheel. She communicated all the while with the ambulance crew while Fiske and Veilleux continued CPR. At the two mile mark, the patient was transferred to the ambulance and the park crew ran interference voice clearer, how to pronounce the words more clearly, in the ability to use my character while I sing.” Labnon helped her choose “Listen” as the song she will sing in the audition. “He said it sounded as though it was coming from my heart,” Thagouras said. She anticipates that the auditions will be jammed. “It sounds like it will be thousands and thousands of people,” she said, but she’s on her way with the support of her whole family. She is one of the eleven children of Sitirious and Karen Thagouras. Karen died of cancer six years ago. The close knit family became even closer after her death, Thagouras said. “It’s always been hard without her,” Thagouras said, “but with so many of us, we work together to care of each other.” Indeed, her mother may have helped set Thagouras on her singing way. “She always sang to us,” she said. “And she made us be in the church choir when we were little,” her sister

for the ambulance so that it could speed back down the Auto Road and be on its way to the Androscoggin Valley Hospital. The mountain rescue, from the man’s collapse to his transfer to the ambulance took slightly less than 25 minutes, Fiske and Veilleux said. The man recovered. Fiske and Vielleux said that when he returned to his home, he called the park. Since neither was on duty at the time, he left is phone number so he could thank them himself. Fiske was able to connect with him. “What could we say,” he recalled.

“We’re both about the same age. (At the time of the call) he was sitting at the kitchen table, helping his 11-year-old daughter with her homework.” Fiske said the man told him that he loved motorcycling up the Auto Road. Usually, he told Fiske, he went with a group of friends, but on this occasion, nobody else wanted to go, so he drove up himself. He could have been alone on the road, but instead he was in the park building, surrounded by quick thinking state park staff and he lives to tell the tale.

Rita added. Thagouras will be driving to Pittsburgh in the family 2007 Subaru with her dad, and her cousin, Amy Gutowski, of North Conway, and they will be staying with cousins who live near Pittsburgh. Maureen Patry of Maureen’s Unique Boutique is helping with clothing for the adventure which includes attractive age-appropriate casual tops and shorts in anticipation of hot weather during the ordeal of making one’s way to the top among the crowd of hopefuls that are expected to descend on Pittsburgh for the auditions. If in some ways, Thagouras’ decision to compete seems breathtaking, she has thought things out carefully. “I’m sixteen,” she said. “This is the time to choose whether I am going to sing or continue with school. Music is hard to get into. If I should decide against it, I can continue in school and get a masters in music theory,” or, she added, “I might major in business with the goal to be in show business.” She also realizes that she can audition for American Idol in coming years,

should she choose to. “The cut-off age is 28,” she said confidently. She has the support of her whole family. “My dad is proud that I’m taking the leap so far out there,” she said. “He’s proud to come with me, taking such a leap to change my future.” Her dad’s good friend, Darleen Sullivan, of Shelburne, arranged a big party for her on Sunday. And with Thagouras all the way are brothers and sisters: Charlie, 10; David, 13; Lucas, 15; Rita, 17; Molly, 19; Mason, 19; Andrew, 24; James, 26; Diomidis, 28; and Adrienne, 32, not to mention Sotirious, 2, Diomidis’ little boy. Meanwhile, should this not be her year to be in American Idol, she does plan to continue singing lessons, along with her A level classes, with a tutor to help speed things along, competing in all her varsity sports, and doing her best as the junior class president. “The year will be jammed,” she said. “Listen to the song here in my heart, A melody I start, but I will complete,” say the lyrics from Beyonce’s “Listen.”

done in the White Mountains.” Rob Burbank, director of public affairs for the Appalachian Mountain Club, and a resident of North Conway, says the 1876-founded AMC was at the forefront back then, working with other groups to combat poor logging practices. “Logging played a key role in White Mountain history, and the region was, and still is, prized for its timber. But indiscriminate and unsustainable logging practices of the day led to huge forest fires and stream-choking erosion, and that devastation motivated people to fight back, and the Appalachian Mountain Club was one of the more active groups engaged in working to protect the mountains. The Weeks Act became the legislative tool that saved the White Mountains, and it was one of the most significant pieces of conservation legislation in our nation’s history.” “Time and again,” adds Burbank, “the AMC urged its members to contact legislators to encourage them to support a national forest reserve in New Hampshire. So great was the interest and enthusiasm that 500 people attended a 1906 meeting organized by AMC at which U.S. Forest Service chief Gifford Pinchot — whom we recognize today as a legendary figure in American land conservation — spoke in support of Eastern forest reserves.” Support grows Govatski — a member of the Weeks Act Centennial Committee — says momentum for passage grew from several sources. “Following several unsuccessful presentations to Congress, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, the Appalachian Mountain Club, and many other New England and Eastern organizations, working together, took a leadership role in obtaining support [for the act]. Congress finally passed this law, which became known as the Weeks Act, on Feb. 15, 1911 and it was signed by President Taft on March 1. It authorized federal purchase of forest lands at the head of navigable streams. The act also provided for cooperation in fire control between federal and state authorities “On March 27, 1911, the White Mountain area was tentatively approved by the National Forest Reservation Commission at its first regular meeting, pending a report on the geological and hydrological relation between management of forest lands and protection of streams. During the winter of 1911-1912 the U.S. Geological Survey conducted research around the headwaters of the Pemigewasset River. The survey’s report, written by Forester Benton MacKaye, indicated that logging methods common at the time, and the forest fires sometimes caused by these logging methods, were detrimental to the streams and to water flow.” Water protection key Both Govatski and local tourism history expert Carl Lindblade of Chatham note that the water concerns were central to the act’s passage. “There was a big question of whether it was constitutional for the federal government being able to buy private land from willing sellers,” noted Govatski in an interview this week, a view that is also shared by Lindblade, who is to give a talk on the Weeks Act at the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Pinkham Notch Visitor Center Sept. 17. Govatski, meanwhile, is to speak in the observatory’s six-week series Aug. 2. In interviews this week, both Govatski and Lindblade explained that Weeks used the Interstate Commerce Clause in the Constitution to get the backing for the OK for the government to be able to purchase the devastated, logged over lands. “Weeks,” said Govatski, “used the clause to show that the federal government had the right to buy private land to protect them at the headwaters of

Police, Fire and EMS, personnel all responded to the scene, and Alonzo was transported to Androscoggin Valley Hospital and later transferred to DHMC. navigable rivers. That was key, because the rivers were flooding and also going through dry spells, due to the erosion caused by the extensive logging. So, they felt that by buying the land you could have the protections to regulate the flow of the water.” Complaints from downstream Adding weight to the conservation efforts by groups was the economic argument that devastating forests and polluting waterways was bad for business. Especially, big business. “There came support,” notes Lindblade, “from an unexpected quarter: the president of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, which at the time was one of the largest if not the largest manufacturing facilities in the world. He testified there was ‘so much dirt and silt coming down from those mountains was impairing our hydro power and our ability to manufacture’ cotton and wool. “So,” says Lindblade, “you had the degradation of the forest in the White Mountains impairing the ability of the largest cloth manufacturing facility in the world to do its job.” Fighting fires Mother Nature did her part as well: the summer of 1910 was a bad season for forest fires in Idaho, Montana and Washington. “The House had passed the original bill, but the Senate still had not voted on it. So Weeks sweetened the deal. One of the really big things that he added was this whole thing of cooperative forest fire protection. He had added it earlier, but in 1910,” says Govatski, “there was a big fire in Idaho, Washington and Montana that consumed three million acres of land. People were being killed. Fighting forest fires was an issue that the government needed to address. So, it gathered support — those who had been opposed to the constitutionality of it were less opposed. It was pretty precedent-setting.” Landscape today On balance, 100 years later, most would say it’s all worked out well. Lindblade says, “The land was acquired, and ultimately after 100 years, New Hampshire and other areas have a renewable resource that serves both the lumber industry and the tourist industry.” Govatski says the forest is governed by 10-year management plans crafted with citizens’ input. The trick is in striking the balance. “The erosion has stopped, and beginning in the 1930s, the forest began to come back. The forest today is much healthier. The question today,” says Govatski, “is less about whether we should have a national forest and more about is how we should manage them. It’s always a question of how much: how much wilderness, how much timber harvesting, how much terrain for ski areas. Everyone wants a piece of the pie but some feel there’s too little wilderness, some feel too much. What’s the right amount?” The AMC’s Burbank was also upbeat, while taking a cautionary tone about the need for continued support for conservation efforts in these lean budgetary times. “Citizen involvement in the White Mountain National Forest will be ever more important in the years ahead,” says Burbank, “particularly in the light of dwindling federal budgets and such threats as climate change that were unheard of a century ago. Whatever challenges may lie ahead, we can rise to those challenges by taking a lesson from the success of the Weeks Act and remembering that great change can come about when people of diverse interests unite around a common goal on a common landscape. That energy and focus can be very powerful.”

OPEN HOUSE CAN LEAD TO OPEN DRAWERS IF CAUTION ISN’T TAKEN

DEAR ABBY: During this economic recession, may I offer a reminder to your readers who may have their homes on the market and available for showing? Someone entered my home during an open house and rummaged through my drawers. The thief made off with my cherished sapphire engagement ring, an emerald band and several other sentimental pieces. I’m ashamed for having underestimated people’s dishonesty. I never assumed anyone would coldheartedly dig through my clothes and belongings to fi nd hidden valuables -- especially with a Realtor onsite. I’m an emotional wreck over the loss of these precious sentimental keepsakes that I will never see again. Please remind your readers whose homes are on the market to be smart and remove all valuables from the site before showings. -- DISILLUSIONED IN SAN MARCOS, CALIF. DEAR DISILLUSIONED: I’m sorry you had to learn this lesson the hard way. It’s unfortunate, but there are individuals who use open houses to case homes and loot items from trusting homeowners. That’s why it’s important to not only remove personal fi nancial information, jewelry and other items of value to a secure location where they can’t be pilfered, but also any prescription medications from bathrooms before a showing. Any stranger entering the house should sign a registration sheet and show identification before being shown around, and even then no one should be out of the real estate agent’s line of sight at any time.

If your property has a “For Sale” sign in front and someone comes to the door, that person should be instructed to phone your agent for an appointment. And by the way, for their own safety, many agents now have a second person on hand so they’re not alone in a house with strangers. DEAR ABBY: My grandson, “Tom,” who is in his mid20s, has become caught up in a “love affair” with an unknown person on the Internet. He never dated during his teens, although his mother told me he once developed a crush on a girl who broke his heart when she rebuffed him. Now Tom tells me he has found his “true love” online. He says she has told him she’s unhappy in her marriage and would divorce her husband if she could afford to do so. I asked him how he could know it was really a woman and not some guy playing a joke on him. He answered, “Grandma, no one could say the things she says to me if she didn’t really feel them in her heart.” How can I convince him that this may be nothing more than a cruel scam? -- WORRIED GRANDMA IN ILLINOIS DEAR WORRIED: Your grandson appears to be naive, inexperienced, and unaware of how many people don’t tell the whole truth about themselves online. Warn him that if “she” asks him for money to pay for her divorce that it could indeed be a scam. Remind him that even if it’s not one, she is cheating on her husband by carrying on an emotional affair with him. And he shouldn’t jump in with his whole heart until he knows with whom he’s having the pleasure. But you can’t safeguard him from being hurt regardless of how much you might wish to do so.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at: Dear Abby, c/o The Conway Daily Sun, PO Box 1940, North Conway, NH 03860

SIDEWALK SALE DAYS

Entertainment at Bickford Place Park Thursday afternoon by Tim Dion from 3 to 5 pm.

Sidewalk sale is a Berlin tradition BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — Main Street will be lined with bargains from Wednesday to Friday as city’s merchants join forces for the annual sidewalk sale. While the deals are directed at the consumers, it’s the entire community that benefits from this perennial event. “Every time you have an attraction that involves a lot of people it’s good for the merchants and the community as a whole,” said Middle Earth owner Dick Poulin. The sidewalk sale is something people look forward to said, Pauline St. Amant of Hall of Greetings. She noted that the event is a summer tradition and she hung signs on the doors announcing the dates after so many people asked when the sale was going to be.

Merchants along Main Street, as well as Caron Building and Aubuchon Hardware join forces for the sale, which has been taking place for as long as anyone can remember. The shops will offer discounts on merchandise both inside and on the sidewalk, in order to offer the local shoppers and those passing through, good deals in the lull between spring and back to school. “It’s a good opportunity to stimulate the economy just a little bit,” said Dave Morin of Morin Shoe Store. The sidewalk sale provides “a little incentive to draw people into the downtown and give people some really good values,” Morin explained. The annual sidewalk sale will take place at the participating businesses during posted business hours from July 13-15. This year, there will also be live entertainment along Main Street into the evening.

National Guard to see if the National Guard had a helicopter that might be able to help extract Gould. It did. “We were on site no later than 6 p.m.,” said Warrant Officer David Breton, the National Guard pilot from Pembroke who answered the call. The National Guard keeps a helicopter in Concord ready at all times for just such emergencies, he said, and when the request came in, he, a co-pilot, a crew chief and a medic loaded up. “We actually train for this mission all the time,” Breton said. The mission was to get Gould from a spot without landing. Breton and the helicopter crew fl ew to a field in Randolph along Route 2 where they picked up Ober and another conservation offi cer. Then they headed up the mountain to find Gould. “We actually couldn’t see him through the trees,” Ober said. “That made it a little hairy.” The medic and the two conservation offi cers lowered one at a time on a cable to a clear spot, Breton said, “as open as possible on the side of the mountain.” The rescue team joined a group of Appalachian Mountain Club volunteers who had hiked down to Gould from AMC’s Madison Hut. Gould was about a tenth of a mile from the small clearing where the team had come down, but he was going to have to go

up where he was found. The ground team set off smoke grenades so the helicopter crew could see them, and Breton hovered above. He followed the crew chief’s instructions as the cable lowered again, this time to pick up Gould. “It goes pretty quickly,” Breton said, himself a former crew chief. After the crew pulled up Gould, the two conservation officers and the medic, the Blackhawk took off down the mountain. When they got back to the field, Gorham ambulance took Gould to the hospital for evaluation. The use of the helicopter does not cost the state anything, according to a National Guard spokesman. “The mission of the Guard is to support domestic operations,” said public affairs offi cer Capt. Sherri Pierce, “therefore aircraft fuel and maintenance for short-term state missions is typically paid using training dollars.” Pierce said these types of missions are important to prepare crews for the challenges they will face during deployment. These missions do provide high value training to our aircrews,” she said, “most of which will be deploying to the mountains of Afghanistan shortly.” For Breton it was an interesting and exciting mission, but “flying a helicopter in general is really interesting and exciting.”
