Reward being offered in Celina Cass case
CONCORD — More than two weeks after the body of the 11-year old girl was found in the Connecticut River, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office, the New Hampshire State Police, and the FBI, are seeking the public’s assistance with any information relating to the death of Celina Cass. Celina Cass was last reported seen in her 863 Washington Street, West Stewartstown, home on the evening of July 25, 2011. She was reported missing on July 26, 2011. After an extensive six-day search, Celina’s body was discovered on August 1, 2011, submerged in the Connecticut River. Her death has been deemed suspicious. On July 30, 2011, the FBI issued a statement offering a reward of up to $25,000 for see REWARD page 10

Foreign students walkout at plant PALMYRA, Pa. (NY Times) — Hundreds of foreign students, waving their fists and shouting defiantly in many languages, walked off their jobs on Wednesday at a plant here that packs Hershey’s chocolates, saying a summer program that was supposed to be a cultural exchange had instead turned them into underpaid labor. The students said they were expecting to practice their English, make money and learn what life is like in the United States. The students, from countries including China, Nigeria, Romania and Ukraine, came to the United States through a long-established State Department summer visa program that allows them to work for two months and then travel. They said they were expecting to practice their English, make some money and learn what life is like in the United States. In a way, they did. About 400 foreign students were put to work lifting heavy boxes and packing Reese’s candies, Kit-Kats and Almond Joys on a fast-moving production line, many of them on a night shift. After paycheck deductions for fees associated with the program and for their rent, students said at a rally in front of the huge packing plant that many of them were not earning nearly enough to recover what they had spent in their home countries to obtain their visas.

Libyan rebels gain control of oil refinery ZAWIYAH, Libya (NY Times) — Rebel fighters claimed complete control of a sprawling oil refinery in this coastal town on Thursday, seizing one of Colonel Muammar al-Qaddafi’s most important assets after just three days of fighting and delivering the latest in a string of small victories that have suddenly put the rebels at Tripoli’s door. Despite what rebel leaders described as
fierce fighting, many of them expressed surprise that the Qaddafi loyalists were routed with relative ease. Some people even wondered whether the chaotic exit by the around 50 of the Qaddafi fighters — who fled by boat before they were bombed by NATO warplanes, according to several fighters — was some sort of a ruse. “We hope this is it,” said Ajali Deeb, a petrochemical engineer at the seized refinery.
“I think he is weak. These are indications that the system has started to collapse.” The six-month history of the Libyan conflict is filled with similar predictions made by one side or the other, usually in the face of nettlesome facts. Even so, the rebels have taken a substantial swath of territory in western Libya over the past few weeks, and Colonel Qaddafi’s forces have not mounted a forceful counter-attack.
New York subpoenas Obama administration calls for Syrian president to step down energy companies NEW YORK (NY Times) — New York State’s attorney general has sent subpoenas to three large energy companies as part of a broad investigation into whether they have accurately described to investors the prospects for their natural gas wells, according to several sources familiar with the inquiry. The subpoenas focus on how the companies took advantage of federal rules, adopted in late 2008, that govern the way they report their oil and gas reserves to investors. Investigators have requested documents relating to the formulas that companies use to predict how much gas their wells are likely to produce in the coming decades. The subpoenas, which were sent on Aug. 8, also request documents related to the assumptions that companies have made about drilling costs in their estimates of the wells’ long-term profitability.
WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama and the leaders of Germany, Britain, France and Canada called Thursday for Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, to give up power. The choreographed move follows months of popular protests and deadly reprisals in Syria. Obama also ordered the freezing of all Syrian assets within American jurisdiction, barred American citizens from having any business dealings with the Syrian government and called on other countries to impose their own sanctions.
It was Obama’s first explicit call for Assad to resign. It came after weeks of divisions within the administration on how to proceed, and criticism from outside that the United States and other nations had responded too tepidly to the violent crackdown on the popular protests that have swept Syrian cities since March. “We have consistently said that President Assad must lead a democratic transition or get out of the way,” Obama said in a written statement released by the White House on Thursday morning.

People cashing in their gold BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — With the price of gold hitting an all-time high on Wednesday night, collectors were in the selling mood at an International Coin Collectors Association show in North Conway. The association was buying gold and other items at the Green Granite Inn and Conference Center. The show began on Tuesday and will run through Saturday. Show hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. On Thursday morning, Amanda Forehand, a field manager with the International Coin Collectors Association, said 80 people had come to the show so far since the opening on Tuesday. That's an average attendance but the people who showed up have been
particularly interested in cashing in their gold. "People are coming in droves and selling off their gold coins and their bullion, and their jewelry," said Forehand. "It's just like the stock market, when it's high you sell, when it's low you buy. Gold is a big thing right now." Gold prices fluctuate all day long. Wednesday night, gold jumped up $37 to a new all-time high of $1,823 per ounce. As of late Thursday afternoon, it was at $1,824 per ounce, according to Kitco.com. Forehand said her company helps pump up the local economy because people get cash for things like unwanted jewelry. The association also buys other items such as sports memorabilia, war items, comic books, and pre-1965 toys. "God knows everyone needs a little extra cash these days," she said.

Editorial The New York Times
Threadbare American Justice
It is an American article of faith that the path to justice runs through the courts. State courts, which handle a vast majority of civil and criminal cases, are in a state of crisis. Across the country, deep budget cuts and increased caseloads have created long delays and a denial of basic access to justice. More than 48 million cases, excluding traffic cases, were filed in state courts in 2008. Since then, courts have been flooded with thousands of new foreclosures, credit card cases and other lawsuits driven by economic hardship. At the same time, the recession and the deepening budget crunch have led states to lay off judges, law clerks and other courthouse personnel, which means longer waits for trials and delays even for recording judgments so that cases can be resolved. Swamped by this huge docket, no state court system now delivers justice as it needs to. In Massachusetts, budget cuts have drastically reduced the number of court-appointed guardians for children who need to have their legal interests represented. In Oregon, cuts have reduced critical support staff, slowing the processing of cases. And these are two of the best-run systems in the country. An American Bar Association task force led by David Boies and Theodore Olson, the former solicitor general, took on this issue in a valuable report issued last week, called “Crisis in the Courts: Defining the Problem.” The report rightly says that “even the most eloquent constitution is worthless with no
one to enforce it.” As they cut spending on the courts, state legislatures are degrading public safety by delaying the resolution of criminal cases; hurting vulnerable populations like children and the elderly, who need the courts’ protection; and damaging our system of government by weakening the judiciary, a separate and co-equal branch. The courts in Georgia, the report says, have seen their financing shrink by 25 percent the last two years, so their budget (which also pays for prosecutors) now constitutes less than 1 percent of the state’s overall budget. Most state systems have had significant cuts in the past three years. The report offers some worthy recommendations that could help provide adequate budgets and increase alternative ways to resolve conflicts. For instance, it calls on states to adopt judicial financing formulas that recognize changes in caseloads. Without these and other reforms, access to justice will continue to contract. Even this sober report barely begins to convey to national and state policy makers how much cuts to the judiciary have harmed individuals and democracy. As budgetstarved courts become more dysfunctional, they lose the confidence of the public, which counts on them for relief, adding to the institutional crisis. These courts may continue to process cases, but they will be less and less able to deliver justice.
Please join the movement and walk for MS on September 20 To the editor: Join The Movement! We’re lacing up our walking shoes and getting ready for the annual MS Walk, taking place in Gorham on September 10, 9 a.m., at the Gorham Common. The first Gorham walk was in 1989, in honor of my sister, Sandra Prince Sargent. Until this year, Sandy was always there to cheer me on. She may have passed away on March 30, but her enthusiasm, determination and positive attitude to live life to the fullest, always keeping her eye on the beauty of all around her, lives on. I will never deter from fighting the battle to end Multiple Sclerosis. Every hour someone will learn they have MS. This disease of the nervous system interrupts the flow of information between body and brain and stops people from moving. With help from people like us, the MS Society addresses the challenges of each person whose life is affected by MS. Eighty percent of money raised goes for programs to help those with MS and their families live with MS, education to raise awareness of
treatment options and resources, research to stop the disease, restore function and end the disease forever. New drugs such as Ampyra and Avonex are helping people move again! Go online to join a team (“Strides For Sandra” is a good one!), volunteer or make a donation, walk MSgne.org or call 802-871-5696. This year Rena Boisclair of Gorham, diagnosed with MS in 2001, will be our MS Walk ambassador, DJ Luc Corriveau will provide music to get us going and Michael Saladino will treat us to his very special pizzas after the walk. It excites me to see the advances made in treating MS. I do believe that we will one day see a world free of Multiple Sclerosis. We walk on Saturday, Sept. 10, we volunteer or we make a much needed donation, so that those with MS may be walking beside us someday! For more information contact me @603-466-2520 or the MS Society @ 802-871-5696. Thank you! See you on the Common! Sylvia Saladino Gorham, NH
How do we fix this mess: ‘We the People’ using our own brains To the editor: Our government is so dysfunctional at it’s present state, what truly is the sense here in keeping our trust in these people to try to find common ground and do what is best for us and not their political party? They are not the only ones who are guilty for this mess, we are too. From what I have seen and heard, most people who voted in the last two or three election did not vote for whom would do the best for us, but along party line rhetoric. Most of us
didn’t really think about whom we were voting for, what their record was, what their real ideas were. Most of us voted according to our anger. The House was changed over to allow the Republicans control, especially when we all knew that it was this party who put us here in the first place. Those who voted for them did so out of spite, or bought their regular line saying they would change things, only to make matters worse. I honestly believe the reasons the Republicans fed us another heap see FIX page 5

ing helping of BS was so they could gain control of the House or Senate and continue their stated position, to do all they could to unseat President Obama, or make things such a mess that we put the blame for all of this mess on him and vote him out of office and install another republican in it. For the last two and a half years the Republicans have done all they can to put forth the notion that it is President Obama who is responsible for this mess we are in. That it is the Democrats who are the cause of the gridlock on Capitol Hill and that it is the Republicans who are the champions of us all. Well get your heads out of your butts if you honestly believe this is true. The Republicans have proven to me time and time again that they could care less about the middle and lower class, and only care about the upper class. They proved this to me during the debt ceiling debacle. They screamed we must cut spending, especially for entitlement programs that help the poor and middle class. Yet they did not want to cut their own entitlement programs for their rich buddies. The entitlement programs I am speaking about is the Bush era tax cuts, the tax loopholes that allow corporations raking in billions in profits not pay, or barely pay, one dime in taxes. They also refuse to cut the tax entitlements that allow our companies to send our jobs overseas and get tax benefits for it. They refuse to cut the entitlement programs for their buddies in the oil industry called subsidies. They refuse to even cut their own entitlements, the outrageous pay they get while in office, the outrageous premium health care they get on the tax payers dime, their office and staff that amounts to one to two million in our tax payer money going to their salaries for each and every senator and house member. They refuse to cut the real entitlements, the billions wasted in pork projects. No, instead they want to go after Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Federal LIHEAP program which helps the needy get fuel for the winter months, they want to cut food stamps which help the poor and needy get food on their tables to feed their children and themselves. They want to destroy the EPA which is the only safeguard between us and corporations who put profits before the American people or our environment. They want to stop giving money to alternative energy research but continue giving them to rich oil companies. Wake up and smell the coffee
people! Use your brains will you? We are in a disaster right now which could have been taken care of by now if it were not for the Republicans wish to do all they can to make President Obama and the Democrats look bad, blame it all on them so we will buy their message, and vote them back in control so they can finish what they started, burning down the house. It is the Republican party which has caused this mess and caused the total and complete gridlock in our government and you are gonna buy their talking points offered to you through Faux Newsless Nitwit Network and Rupert Murdoch? There is an old saying that if you keep listening to the lies fed to us long enough, you start to believe them. Well American people, time to wake up. It is time to stop and truly think before you go into the voting booth next year. It is time to think for yourself and not what your particular party line has shoved down your throat. To fix this mess we need to repeal the Bush tax cuts, we need to close the loopholes that allow billions in tax money to escape our treasury, We need to make sensible cuts first to those programs that deserve it, not the ones that are there as a safety net for those who need it. Time to wake up and realize we are just as much responsible for this mess because we are the ones who elect these people based on their sound bites given to us. I am an independent. I vote for those who I think truly represent what we want, not what they say we want. I voted for Obama last time but I highly doubt I will vote for him this time, because he has shown me he has no backbone to stand up to this republican onslaught. I have listened to all the candidates so far, and most of them scare the living daylights out of me, especially Perry, George W Bush on steroids? Heaven forbid he is elected President cause I will tell you now, my backpack is packed and I am heading to the hills if he is elected. The only viable presidential candidate I see right now who will get my vote is Ron Paul. While I disagree with some of his points, like I said the other day on a discussion board, at least he is willing to sit down and talk to you about the differences and reach a sound consensus and compromise. Compared to the rest of the pack, both Republican and Democrat, well they have only shown me more of the same BS we have gone through in the last 2 1/2 years. Frank Laferriere Berlin

Adequacy grants improve tax rate SAU 20 receives $15,000 grant for projections in G/R/S Coop towns Androscoggin Valley collaboration study BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
RANDOLPH—At their meeting in Randolph Tuesday, the Gorham/ Randolph/Shelburne Cooperative District School Board learned that the FY 2012 State Adequacy Grants have been restored to their FY 2010 amounts. If all goes well, that means that possibly instead of paying an anticipated tax rate increase in Gorham of $2.24 over the 2010 tax rate, the increase will only be $0.40 greater or $11.68 total. In Randolph, where taxpayers were told at the March 3 School District Annual Meeting to expect the tax rate to increase to $6.73, there is no change. And in Shelburne, where taxpayers anticipated paying more than the 2010 rate of $8.09, they will actually be paying $7.61 or $0.48 less than projected. Pauline Plourde, School Administrative Unit 20 business administrator, warned that these rates are anticipated, and subject to change. In other matters the board approved the appointment of Amy Stolting to fill in at the Gorham High School Math classes during a maternity leave until Oct. 28. Board members also saw copies of the letter from Edward R. Murdough, Administrator, Bureau of School Approval and Facility Management in New Hampshire, in which all three Gorham schools were approved by Murdough. The board saw copies of the conclusion of the G/R/S board vision statement study. The vision statement: “Gorham Randolph Shelburne Cooperative School District will be foremost, student-focused school system of the North Country.” Strategies to implement the vision statement were handed out. The Ed Fenn School is ready for opening on August 31, the board learned in a report by Principal Karen Cloutier. The staff will return on August 29. Michelle Haber has been hired to work Monday through Wednesday teaching both General Music and Band/Instrumental Lessons. Craig Langlois will be school nurse. GMHS English teacher Carlotta Thompson suddenly resigned because she got a job on Mar-
tha’s Vineyard and will have to be replaced. The day after the job was posted (in 24 hours), Bousquet had 12 resumes to consider. They had 20 applications as of the board meeting and expect to have the position filled in time for school.Kindergarten population is 17. There are 180 students, K-5. There will be an open house on Sept. 8 at 6:30, presumably 6:30 p.m. In the spring of 2011 the school had made Annual Yearly Progress as determined by the State of New Hampshire. Attendance rate was 96.46 percent. One student each in grades 2 through 5 had been suspended in either “in-school full day,” “in-school, half day,” out of school, full day” or “out of school half day.” There were no expulsions. The percentage of classes taught by highly qualified teachers is 100 percent. The Gorham Middle/High School Report included the following information: attendance at the Middle School in 2010-2011 was 96.7 percent, in the high school, 95.76 percent. Free lunch eligibility was 30.28 percent in the middle school and 22.75 percent in the high school, both percentages an increase over past years such as the 2008/9 corresponding figures at 24.35 percent and 16.29 percent and the 2009/2010 figures of 27.27 percent and 14.46 percent. Suspensions in 2010-2011 totaled 31 up from 19 the year before and 13 the year before that. Of the 31 suspensions, 7 were of middle school students for fighting, cyberbullying, inappropriate behavior, harassment and inappropriate language (3). The 24 high school suspensions were for: bullying (5), fighting (4), drug possession/ paraphernalia sales (4), possession of alcohol (2), weapon possession, knives (2), sexual harassment (1), inappropriate language (4), inappropriate behavior (2). Incidents of bullying/cyberbullying were down from 2009-2010. Total middle school enrollment was 111. Total high school enrollment was 162 for a total of 273 at the Gorham Middle/ High School. Of the 2011 graduates, 48.9 percent plan to continue in four year college or university; 27.7 plan to continue in other than four year programs; 17 percent plan to be employed; 3 percent chose the military.

BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
GORHAM—School Administrative Unit 20-Gorham, Randolph, Shelburne Cooperative School District has received a $15,000 grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation “to facilitate community-wide forums with both school districts (SAU 20 and SAU 3) to develop a plan serving the students in the Androscoggin Valley.” GRS Cooperative School District Board members received information about the grant and the proposed study at their Tuesday meeting at the Randolph Town Hall. The proposal, which led to the award, notes that there is a community need for such a study. “The schools in the Androscoggin Valley are administered by two diffent School Administrative Units (SAU 3— Berlin and SAU 20—Dummer, Milan, Gorham Randolph Shelburne cooperative),” the proposal notes. “Historically the SAUs have been very separate, in both administration and culture, including long-held rivalries in high school sports. However, in the last ten years, the entire valley has faced the same economic challenges, losing 500 good paying jobs at the pulp and paper mills, having town and school populations decline, and having costs to educate our children continue to rise. The area’s general population has been reduced and subsequently the schools’ populations have dropped by about 15 percent. With less population shouldering the tax burden, school budget cuts have been severe (example: Berlin lost 13 staff last year, and Gorham Randolph Shelburne cooperative is losing 8 this year), and it is affecting our children’s educational experience.” “The middle and high schools are only seven miles apart and yet both must offer basic courses, remedial help, and special needs staffing. Both must maintain some elective course offerings, develop and maintain curricu-

lums, and provide strong foundations for further education. In order to retain quality programs and provide student opportunities, the schools have begun to collaborate. Valley citizens now recognize the need for combined efforts to enhance, change, collaborate and unify our resources in the area of education for the benefit of all the children.” The proposal illustrates with examples of recent collaborative efforts such as the common school year calendar in the past two years, and then goes on to propose “a new level of dialogue . . . in order to engage the citizens in the (mentioned) communities.” The discussion would “address the educational needs of our children to allow us to maximize collaboration and ensure the best opportunities for our students, both now and in the future.” The proposal lays out a workplan involving hiring an objective facilitator to “plan, execute and facilitate a series of community forums to develop a valley wide vision of educational programs in our communities”—the project to begin in September 2011 and be finished by the beginning of 2012, with a report to community decision makers including “the advancement of a few specific collaborative program ideas.” The program anticipates a budget of $20,000, with $5,000 to be supplied by SAU 20 in-kind donations. As collaborating organizations, the proposal lists the Berlin Superintendent of Schools Corinne Cascadden who has discussed the proposal with the Berlin Board of Education and the Berlin City Council which offered positive support and encouragement for the initiative, according to the proposal; the Milan School Board; and the Gorham Randolph Shelburne Cooperative School board which voted unanimously to have the Superintendent of Schools, Paul Bousquet proceed with this grant and “supported the ideas and action as as written in the grant proposal.”

donation of $5,000. To date, more than 580 leads and tips have been received and reviewed. The investigation aggressively continues. According to Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young, various forensic tests remain pending and interviews remain ongoing. Anyone who may have knowledge of any circumstances surrounding Celina Cass’s death is urged to contact the New Hampshire State Police. Even the smallest observation could provide a piece of the puzzle necessary in solving this tragedy. Anyone with information relevant to this investigation is asked to contact the New Hampshire State Police at (603) 846-3333.

can also buy another card at the stops if they don’t like the card they get. The extra cards are $5 each. The super prize has yet to be determined, said Bergeron. It depends on what’s donated. In past years the prize has been a weekend at a motel or skis, or snowboards. The shop has in the past donated expensive cycle jackets. The 2011 biggest prize will be a surprise, and there are lots of prizes that go to succeeding hands after the top prize is awarded. The event really begins on Friday night which is “Friday night Drive-In Night,” said Bergeron. The Poker Run committee offers an outdoor movie, projected on a big white screen on the side of the store building. This year the movie is Marlon Brando in “The Wild Ones.” “We have popcorn, a hot dog cart, soda,” said Bergeron. “People bring their own couches. It’s free.” Bergeron remembers showing “Wild Hogs.” “The sound system is so good it sounded like they were on Main Street,” he said. Bergeron reminds all that the committee is always open to suggestions about ways to improve the event. “This is to help the community,” he said.

operation. While in Berlin, some of the senators also wanted to see the federal prison so Gallus arranged a tour there as well. The federal prison is completed but is awaiting a federal appropriation to be able to hire staff and accept inmates. Lunch for the group has been arranged at the Jericho state park. Between 12:30 and 1 p.m., Berlin and Gorham officials and area economic development leaders have been invited to meet with the group. In the afternoon, the group will travel some of the ATV trails in the park. Gallus said he is working to arrange ATVs for the group. He said he wants to discuss what improvements need to be made to the park which is not fully developed. The group is scheduled to wrap up the tour by 4 p.m. and return south.
information leading to the location of Celina Cass and the arrest and prosecution of any individuals involved in her disappearance. The FBI reiterates that the reward remains in effect for any information leading to the arrest and prosecution of any individual or individuals involved in Celina’s death. In addition, a reward fund has been established for any information leading to the arrest and prosecution of any individual or individuals involved in Celina’s death. Those wishing to contribute to the reward fund can make donations to a specially established account at the Northway Bank in Gorham, (603) 466-5467, attention Susan Small. The fund has an initial
The Androscoggin Valley Cancer Fund raises money for local families who are dealing with the expenses of cancer treatment. The Poker Run is such a success that local merchants contribute prizes without any urging or reminders, said Bergeron in a recent interview. “No begging,” said Bergeron. “Many families are touched by cancer and treatment means time off from work, loss of income and loss of time, as well as radiation and chemotherapy. The monies raised on August 20 will help remove one small barrier for families by helping with travel expenses, food while traveling, or some need the family may have. Everyone helps. Our sponsors are so many, it’s hard to list them, but we hope all our riders will patronize our sponsors.” The Poker Run is a 100-mile motorcycle ride through the White Mountains with five stops. At each stop, riders pick up a card. The rider who finishes at the big barbecue at the Dolly Copp park on Route 16 with the best poker hand, wins. Entry is $15 and that includes the barbecue and music. Riders can buy as many entries as they like, each for $15, just to improve their chances for a good hand and the big prize. They
the senators to the city and area. He said he wants to acquaint them with some of the issues facing the region. “A lot of these guys have never been here,” he said. Gallus pointed out there is a big difference in the economy of the North Country and that of the southern part of the state near Nashua and Manchester. Gallus said the senators will arrive by 10:30 a.m. by van or private vehicle. In the morning , the group will tour both the federal and state prisons. During the recent budget debate in Concord, Gallus said there were a number of proposals about the Berlin prison including one to close the prison and send the inmates to an outof-state facility. Gallus said he wants the senators to see the prison and its

pay increase for the remainder of fiscal 2012 and a two percent pay increase in fiscal 2013 which takes effect July 1, 2012. Factoring in the health insurance savings and the pay increase, the city will save $27,642 in the first year of the contract. The cost to the city for the second year of the contract is $23,461. On behalf of the union, Lt. William Maddalena thanked the council for approving the contract. In other business: * Dan Malone of the Androscoggin Valley ATV Club reported that the recent Jericho ATV Festival was a big success. This was the second year for the event and the first year it was run entirely by the club. Malone said the weather was beautiful for the festival and about 1,500 people attended the two day event. He said Saturday was the big day with about 1,100 people turning out for the mud pit competition. Malone said they were running out of parking space at the site and the parking lots at the former Bass shoe building and the old Knights of Columbus hall were full. The vendor space was also full. Malone said attendance on Sunday was down because most had done the mud pit on Saturday. He said the club will work to come up with a new event to hold on the second day. The club will also work to get more food vendors at the festival. The club realized a $5,500 profit from the event which it will use to
host next year’s festival. Malone said they are looking at making next year’s edition even better. He thanked the council for the city’s support of the event. The council made a $2,000 donation to help defray the cost of the festival. Councilor Mike Rozek said he appreciated the club’s work in hosting the festival. * The council approved a $28,000 contract with appraiser George Sansoucy to update valuations for utility property in the city. * The council approved a resolution authorizing the city to apply for and accept a $249,102 federal COPS Hiring Program Grant. The program provides funds to hire a police officer for three years. * The council passed an ordinance amending the city charter to require all boards, commissions, and committees to meet after 5:30 p.m. unless there is unanimous agreement among the members to meet between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. The council’s action was spurred by a dispute among the members of the board of assessors over a meeting time for the board. * The council amended its earlier motion on the disposal of 13 surplus properties to abutters. Two weeks ago the council voted to require purchasers to have a lot line adjustment done as a condition of sale. City Planner Pamela Laflamme noted that was an expensive process that requires a boundary survey and planning board approval with public notice and hear-
ing required. She suggested the council intended to require a lot merger which still requires planning board approval but does not require a survey or public hearing. Laflamme said a lot line adjustment would still be required in cases where two adjacent property owners jointly purchased one of the parcels. Councilor Mark Evans, who made the original motion, said Laflamme was correct and he moved

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams
DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may not share your friend’s point of view or agree with everything this person says, but you will be enriched and expanded by the relationship nonetheless. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have moments of being purely loving and accepting of what is -- even when “what is” is changing rapidly. You’ll move with the changes -- fluid, graceful, no resistance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There will be moments when silence will communicate far beyond words. There will also be moments when silence will communicate nothing -- which might be precisely what should be communicated on the topic. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). True riches cannot be bought. But the kind that can be bought will still have great appeal today, as you are in the mood to invest. You’ll show your excellent taste with a purchase. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In some regard, you are massively ambitious. Keep plowing ahead, and you’ll gain ground. Don’t ask too many questions. Right now, it’s fine to stay a bit naive about what is possible -- that’s better than being jaded! TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 19). School is never out for you. You learn all year long, and the more you learn the more you earn. You’ll separate yourself from the other contenders and win a key position in September. Your network of friends grows in November, and winter is filled with festivities. Kismet happens on a weekend getaway. Capricorn and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 47, 20, 50, 6 and 1.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a gift for economy, especially verbal and written economy. You have a concise way of expressing yourself, and because of this, people get your point right away. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll see the truth in all its stark beauty and will want to exclaim it to the world. However, it may be more powerful to keep this between you and your diary for now. The world may not be ready for your radical honesty. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Social situations go better when you give yourself something to do. And because of your willingness to make yourself useful and help in whatever way needed, you’ll meet new people. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re meant to lead now. Take charge of a situation, but do so quietly and humbly. You will bring out the best in others and find ways to utilize their unique qualities and talents. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are not always in the mood to communicate. This morning, you’d rather enjoy the silence than catch up on everyone else’s business. Turn off the media and relax. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You listen when a loved one talks. But more than that, you always hear -- with your ears as well as your heart -- what is being expressed. You are cherished for these qualities. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some preparation will be required to make social interactions go smoothly. When you don’t know what to say to a person, you may reveal too much about topics that are actually irrelevant to the situation at hand.

BIGGER APARTMENT MAY NOT BE BETTER WITH A ROOMMATE
DEAR ABBY: My fiancee and I are living in a studio apartment owned by her mother. We’re currently looking for another place to live, and can’t decide whether or not to get a two-bedroom and a roommate. We both know the pros and cons of living with other people, and I have a potential roommate I trust completely. But I’m apprehensive because I had a roommate once before and it wasn’t a great experience. We’re still friends, but I would never live with him again. We’re trying to get out soon. I don’t want to make the wrong decision and lose either a friend or a future wife because of money, hurt feelings or anything else. Please advise. -- MIKE IN FLORIDA DEAR MIKE: Living together, as you have probably already learned, requires adjustment on the part of all of the parties concerned. While you trust this friend to be a responsible roommate, what if something unforeseeable were to happen and the person should have to unexpectedly move out? Would he or she be on the lease with you? Could you pay the rent without the help of another roommate? How would you manage if the roommate were to have a live-in, too? Because of these questions, it might be better to take a place with one bedroom to avoid possible complications. DEAR ABBY: Is it appropriate to send anniversary flowers to a widow? My husband’s grandfather just passed away, and this will be his grandmother’s first wedding anniversary as a widow. Etiquette guides conflict in their advice regarding sending anniversary cards and flowers to widows. Would flowers be inappropriate? If not, what should the delivery card say? -SENTIMENTAL IN KELLER, TEXAS
DEAR SENTIMENTAL: Sending flowers would be a kind and thoughtful gesture. The card could read, “You’re in our thoughts and in our hearts. With love ...” because this will be anything BUT a happy anniversary. If you live near your husband’s grandmother, offer to invite her over or take her out to dinner so she won’t be alone. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 21-year-old guy who needs to know how to properly introduce myself to a lady. My first instinct is to shake her hand -- that’s how I introduce myself to guys. I’m always uneasy shaking a girl’s hand because I am not sure if it is appropriate. If I am seated, I will stand to introduce myself, but then there’s an awkward pause afterward. Please advise. -- A PROPER GENTLEMAN DEAR GENTLEMAN: According to the rules of etiquette, it’s the woman who dictates whether or not to shake hands. If she extends her hand, you should shake it. If not, keep your hands at your sides -- smile, tell her your name and say, “It’s nice to meet you.” That’s all you have to do. DEAR ABBY: I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood. A few months ago, however, a young woman who lived across the street from me was brutally stabbed to death by her jealous boyfriend. After a few months of getting the rental home cleaned up, there are new people moving in. Should I make sure they’re aware of what happened or should I keep quiet? -- CONCERNED IN MISSOURI DEAR CONCERNED: Exactly what are you concerned about -- that the boyfriend will come back and stab the new renters? They should have already been informed about the history of the place by the person renting the property. But if they weren’t, I see little to be gained by your being the bearer of those bad tidings.

Town & Country Motor Inn captures Berlin Bowling Center league results NCMBL title over Morneau Travel BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
BERLIN --NCMBL Finals Town & Country 69 vs. Morneau Travel 68 The 2011 NCMBL finals held at the Berlin Junior high school, featured The Town & Country Motor Inn team against the high scoring Morneau Travel squad. The evening started with a rendition of the National Anthem by Berlin High school’s Liz Thagouras. After the Anthem the game got under way. In a huge upset, the Town and Country’s determination and heart took the NCMBL Finals away from the defending champs. Morneau Travel started the game strong and led all the way until the last four minutes of play. Their balanced scoring attack helped keep the lead, but the 1-3-1 defense of the Town and Country did not allow any of the Morneau Travel Teams players to catch fire and break 20 points. On the other side of the ball, the Touwn & Country’s Curtis Arsenault scored 29 points and father Steve Arsenault dominated the boards by ripping down offensive and defensive boards. In the closing moments of the game,
Jon Frisk took down a rebound off of a Justin Stroup shot in the final 30 seconds of the game. Trailing by a single point Frisk put in the winning jumper. A missed Morneau Travel shot was hauled by the T&C’s Steve Arsenault’s with three seconds left and sealed the win giving Town and Country their first championship. At half time a three point shootout for fans and players was held with over 40 participants. Tyler Palmer won the shootout and $20. Palmer donated the money back to help the league. The NCMBL would like to thank all those who helped with the successful season and also those who helped raise $1000 for the National Guard Chaplain Emergency Relief Fund. A huge thanks goes out to the Berlin Rec Center and Terry Letarte, The Berlin School System and Corinne Cascadden, Patrick MacQueen, Marisa Lemoine, Jodie Therriault, Linda Arsenault, Steve Arsenault, Tess Letarte, Liz Thagouras, Jon Benton, Jean LeBlanc, and all the referees, photographers, players and fans who helped make the league improve and run effectively for the 2011 season.

The Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb is coming Saturday PINKHAM NOTCH -- Former world mountain biking champion Ned Overend has just confirmed that he will compete again this year in the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb. Overend’s return to the ultrasteep Mt. Washington Auto Road intensifies what was already looming as the liveliest contest in this race in recent memory. A mountain biking legend who, at 54, continues to outride much younger cyclists, he is one of four of five riders with a reasonable chance of being first to the top of the

highest peak in the northeast United States this Saturday. Overend, of Durango, Colorado, placed second in his last two appearances on the Auto Road, 2006 and 2009, following a fourth-place finish in 2005, his first appearance here. In this 7.6-mile climb to the 6288-foot Mt. Washington summit, he is well matched against defending champion Nico Toutenhoofd of Boulder, Colo.; last year’s runnerup David “Tinker” Juarez of Whittier, California, also see HILLCLIMB page 17

champion mountain biker; the 2010 third-place finisher Timothy Ahearn, of Woodstock, Conn.; and newcomer Dereck Treadwell of Laurens, N.Y., who last month won Newton’s Revenge, the other bike race held each summer on the same all-uphill course, in a time close to these other riders’ best. The women’s race meanwhile continues to pose the question of whether Sari Anderson, a multisport adventure athlete from Carbondale, Colorado, can beat defending champion Marti Shea. Shea, 48, has won six consecutive races on the Auto Road. In addition to winning last year’s Hillclimb in her personal best time for the course, she has won Newton’s Revenge every year it has been held -- 2006 and 2008-2011. (In 2007, severe weather canceled both races.) Anderson, 32, has won numerous ski mountaineering races in the Rockies and been on winning teams in adventure races in North America and abroad. On wheels she is primarily a mountain biker like Overend and Juarez, whose Mt. Washington performances show that road bikers enjoy no clear advantage on the Auto Road’s 12 percent average grade. The 39th annual Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb starts at 8:40 a.m. on Saturday, August 20, when the first wave of cyclists, the elite group known as the Top Notch, begins the 7.6-mile ascent. Three successive waves of riders, sorted by age group, follow at five-minute intervals. In all, 600 riders from across the United States and from several Canadian provinces will test themselves against the road that professional cyclists have called tougher than the most difficult climbs in the Tour de France. OVEREND’S LEGEND Ned Overend won the U.S. national off-road biking championship six times between 1986 and 1992, won the UCI world mountain biking championship in 1990, and twice was the Xterra world champion (1997 and 1999). He first raced in the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclinb in 2005, placing fourth, then returned in 2006 to take second, beaten only by Olympic gold medalist and Tour de France stage winner Tyler Hamilton. In 2009 Overend returned to Mt. Washington and narrowly missed the $1000 first prize, finishing just two seconds behind the winner, Phil Gaimon of Georgia. Riders’ times in the Hillclimb can vary with the notorious Mt. Washington winds, which are capable of blowing riders to the ground, and with various days of damp air or unrelenting sun, so year-to-year comparisons are inexact. Nevertheless, Overend’s past performances on the mountain make him a favorite. His best time here was 54 minutes 41 seconds in 2006, which is two and a half minutes faster than Toutenhoofd’s winning time last year (57:26), and he was nearly as fast in 2009 (54:43), taking second behind a professional rider (Gaimon) who is three decades younger. Nico Toutenhoofd, a 43-year-old Category 1 amateur, was runnerup in the Hillclimb in 2008 and fourth in 2009. Last year, pacing himself with a power monitor on his bicycle, he followed the lead pack for two miles before moving forward and winning in a fine solo effort, in a time of 57:26. Juarez, the only rider to go out in the lead pack and not lose significant ground, finished second in 58:08. Tim GREAT GLEN from page 16

Ahearn was a close third in 58:22. Adding to the excitement this week is that Tinker Juarez also enjoys near-legendary status in mountain biking. Now 50 years old himself, Juarez was a teenage champion in the early days of BMX offroad racing in the 1970s, later a high-profile pro in the more modern version of the sport. He rode mountain bike events in the 1996 Olympics, won the U.S. National Mountain Bike Championship three times, and earned a gold medal in the Pan-American Games. He turned to long distance road cycling in 2001, following his induction into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame. He and Overend have met in many previous competitions, but never in this relatively short but also extremely steep race. The other possible favorite is Dereck Treadwell, 36, a former All-American distance runner at the University of Maine who now coaches at Hardwick College in New York State. Treadwell enjoyed an impressive Mt. Washington debut last month, when he won Newton’s Revenge by riding in the second wave of starters yet recording a faster time than any of the Top Notch group. His time in Newton’s Revenge, 57:41, is very close to Toutenhoofd’s winning time in 2010. As Treadwell only recently took up bicycle road racing, it is possible that he’ll ride significantly faster with his recent experience here. Sari Anderson adds suspense to the women’s race partly because of her renown in grueling endurance events elsewhere and partly because she has never raced on the Auto Road before. Although her road-biking experience is limited, this year Anderson placed third in the 133-kilometer Megeve- Mont Blanc road race in the French Alps. Her endurance is beyond question; the challenge for her, as for many riders who are familiar with the longer and higher roads and trails of the Rockies, may be how she handles the shorter but steeper Auto Road. Marti Shea, a Manchester, N.H., native who, like Treadwell, was an All-American distance runner – she ran at Boston University -- has held a steady claim to the title of New England’s Queen of the Mountains. Besides having won Newton’s Revenge five times and having added the Hillclimb championship last year, Shea is the overall points leader in the B.U.M.P.S. series of nine uphill bike races in New England and New York. Now living in Marblehead, Massachusetts, she has won all five of the races in that series this summer. A dedicated amateur who declined the opportunity to turn professional because of the pressure she saw in pro cycling to use performance-enhancing drugs, she has seemed to grow more confident with each passing year. Her experience and leg strength will be a formidable challenge for Anderson and the other women in the field. The other top women are familiar to Shea: Kristen Gohr , 40, of Reading, Mass.; Carol Meader, 45, Raymond Maine; and sprightly 52-year-old Dominique Codere of Montreal. Gohr finished second to Shea in last year’s Hillclimb, less than three minutes behind. She is also the co-holder of the tandem record for the Mt. Washington Auto Road; last year she and her teammate John Bayley double-pedaled to the summit in 1:06:32. Neither Codere nor Meader has recorded times close to Shea’s best, but both are steady competitors and very familiar with see HILLCLIMB page 18

the Auto Road’s relentless grade. THE COURSE The Mt. Washington Auto Road climbs 7.6 miles at an average grade of 12 percent, with an extended stretch of 18 percent grade in the second mile and a surreal 22 percent at the finish. From the starting line just off N.H. Route 16, the course gains 4727 feet in altitude, finishing at the windswept 6288-foot summit of Mt. Washington. Professional riders have called Mt. Washington a more difficult climb than the hardest climb in the Tour de France, and this summer that claim seems more believable than ever. Last month, Mt. Washington record-holder Tom Danielson competed in the Tour de France for the first time ever. As the three-week-long race entered the mountain stages, Danielson moved up from 45th in the overall standings to 9th, eventually becoming the first American finisher in the field. He held his position against the world’s best on the Col de Galibier and the Alpe d’Huez, the back-to-back hors categorie (“beyond category”) ascents of the final days. Danielson set the men’s open cycling record for the Mt. Washington Auto Road in 2002, when he made the ascent in 49 minutes 24 seconds, and he nearly matched that time again in 2010, when injuries prevented him from making his Tour debut and instead he raced in Newton’s Revenge. (Mt. Washington Auto Road course records may be set in either race.) With all due respect to this year’s men’s field, no one in it is likely to come close to Danielson’s mark. The women’s course record presents an only slightly less daunting challenge. The current record holder is former French and world cycling star Jeannie Longo, who made the climb in 58 minutes 14 seconds in 2000, the only year she competed in this race. Longo’s mark is six minutes faster than Shea’s best time; whether or not it is within Anderson’s reach is a question that may be answered on
August 20. RACE BENEFITS TIN MOUNTAIN Sponsored by Polartec, with additional support from international corporations as well as from Red Jersey Cyclery and other local businesses in the Mt. Washington Valley, the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb is the primary annual fundraiser for the Tin Mountain Conservation Center in Albany, N.H. For the opportunity to pedal up the unrelenting grade while battling Mt. Washington’s famously high winds, elite and amateur cyclists pay an entry fee of $350. All proceeds go to the educational and environmental programs of the conservation center. The entry fee allows the conservation center to continue its support of school programs that reach nearly 5000 students, nature camps for more than 300 children, a series of community nature programs, and other educational and environmental events. The size of the field for the Hillclimb is limited by the ability of the road crews and race officials to monitor the safety of all participants, and by the number of vehicles that can be parked at the summit to bring cyclists back down the hill after the race. B.U.M.P.S. The Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb is one of nine events in the Bike Up the Mountain Point Series, familiarly known as B.U.M.P.S. The series also includes Newton’s Revenge, Mt. Ascutney in Vermont, Mt. Greylock in Massachusetts, Whiteface Mountain in New York State, and other uphill races. Shea stands firmly at the top of the women’s standings, with Dominique Codere third in the standings. The man with the highest points total so far in the men’s competition is Duncan Douglas, of Honeoye Falls, NY. Douglas, who finished second to Treadwell in Newton’s Revenge last month, is also entered in Saturday’s race. For further information see www.hillclimbseries.com.
STARTING TIMES The 2011 Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb starts at 8:40 a.m. on Saturday, August 20, when the Top Notch group – one hundred riders who qualify by virtue of top performances in previous Mt. Washington races or exceptional accomplishments in other cycling races – sprint through the first, flat 300 yards of the Auto Road and then downshift for the long
the ascent. Three subsequent waves of riders, sorted by age, start at five-minute intervals following the Top Notch group. As always, the organizers allow for the weather, often a complicating factor on Mt. Washington. If severe weather on Saturday makes road conditions unsafe, the race will be postponed until Sunday, with the same starting times.
Special Weeks Act display at Moffett House Museum
BERLIN -- In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Weeks Act establishing the White Mountain National Forest among others, the Berlin & Coos County Historical Society has created a very special display on the first level of the Moffett House Museum & Genealogy Center. On view are two maps from the 1800s of the headwaters of the Androscoggin River, part of the area affected by the enactment of the Act, along with two binders of purchase options from 1912 and 1913 to the federal government from the Berlin Timberlands Company, a division of the Berlin Mills Company. These are the original papers outlining which lands would be bought for how much. A small selection of books has been gathered together concerning the White Mountains, including Chasing Danforth, Among the White Hills, And Then There Was One, the new Beyond the Notches, and Our Forest Heritage by William Robinson Brown. These books may be read at the museum, but
are not on loan. Sketches of life in a logging camp by Jacquie Dumas and photos by Guy Shorey can be seen in the stairwell to the second floor. For the younger folks, and the young at heart who remember these, there are two stereoviewers and 18 cards of views of the White Mountains, including Berlin Falls. Perhaps the most informative on the subject of the Weeks Act are the books and articles on logging railroads. These explain how devastating and invasive logging had become by the late 1800s and early 1900s. This led to the conservation movement as well as better logging practices. This special display is current up and will be available for viewing until Saturday, September 3. The Moffet House Museum, located at 119 High Street in Berlin, is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 4:00 p.m. or by appointment. Call 603-752-4590 for an appointment. Admission is free. Donations are gratefully accepted.

Chandler asking state DOT to ‘take another look’ at snow-plowing plan BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
BARTLETT — Rep. Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett), who also serves as chair of the public works and highways committee in the state House of Representatives, has arranged a meeting with the acting commissioner of the the N.H. Department of Transportation to try to steer him away from a drastically reduced snow-plowing plan this winter. DOT contends the move is necessary due to a reduction in state highway funds. The agency is proposing to no longer plow some roads between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. and to let snow to build up higher than in the past before turning some crews out onto the road. "I sent a letter to the department telling them I didn't think their proposal was a good one and asked them to come up with a different plan," Chandler said by phone Wednesday afternoon. Chandler, along with Kenneth Weyler, chairman of the House Finance Committee, Jim Rausch, chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, and Chuck Morse, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, will meet with David Jeff Brillhart, the acting commissioner for DOT, as early as next week. "We're asking them to take another look," Chandler said. "I think the release (DOT) sent out was a little confusing. We haven't made any suggestions, we're hoping they will come up with an alternative." According to DOT spokesman Bill Boynton, tentatively the department will be altering its maximum accumulation to 3 to 7 inches (was 3 to 6 inches) depending on the section of roadway, with average accumulations of around 1.5 to 4.5 inches (was 1.5 to 3.5 inches). These increases will be
as a result of lengthened route times from 1.5 hours to 4.5 hours (was 1.5 hours to 3.5 hours) during the day and at night, on some routes, a possible doubling of this cycle time between 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. “We’re not going to be able to provide the same level of service,” Boynton said by phone last week. “People will notice a difference; we've been significantly impacted (financially). Winter maintenance remains our priority. Our new policy will be similar to what the state of Maine does now.” The DOT plan is not acceptable, according to Chandler. He hopes DOT officials will come up with a new plan because the current one could have "huge ramifications" on tourism and revenue for the Granite State. "What DOT is proposing is unacceptable," Chandler said. "I'm formulating a plan and there are other people around the state who I've been talking to. This is nothing different than the school board having to cut its budget and announcing it'll cut football first; it's what gets the biggest uprise. "My preference is (DOT) will come up with another plan," he added. "I always feel it's better to let departments figure it out than leaving it to us because we might make the wrong decision. If they are unable to come up with an alternative plan then we will." Boynton said DOT lost 42 employees to budget cuts (there are still bout 800 employees). Its budget was cut 11.5 percent; the budget is expected to be cut an additional 11 percent in 2012 and 13 percent in 2013; there was a 25 percent reduction in the state's sand and salt budget. A major factor in the DOT's budget had stemmed from revenue generated from a $30 motor vehicle registration surcharge, which the Republican-controlled legislature voted not to renew. The surcharge brought in roughly $90 million in revenue over two years and went mostly toward

highway maintenance. "Right or wrong," Chandler said, "when we on the Republican side (gained control of the House and Senate) we determined we weren't going to have any tax or fee increases. I believe most people are glad to see that tax go away." DOT, which is responsible for 4,200 miles of state road including 90 miles on the turnpike, is also closing six of its 92 highway patrol sheds. The closest one to Conway, according to Boynton, is Patrol 307, which is in Ossipee. The route that patrol covered will now be absorbed by another patrol, meaning it will take longer to cover those sections of road. Boynton said the biggest change the DOT has proposed is to not plow some state roads between the hours of 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. The department also is considering increasing the minimum amount of accumulation that requires plows to be called out between 4 a.m. 9 p.m. Currently, the department initiates plowing when 1 to 2 inches of snow has fallen, and it continues until the storm has ended. Boynton said the department has had to prioritize which roads will get the most attention this winter, those being the interstate highways and any state roads with 15,000 vehicles or more per day traveling them. Boynton said, in general, there will be more snow on the roads and it will take longer for plows to get to lessertraveled state roads. "Plowing between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. gets into all sorts of overtime," he said. "We're forced to make the necessary adjustments to keep within the budget framework we've been given — we're dealing with the hand we've been dealt. Reduced funding means a reduction in service." "Tentatively the department will be altering our maximum accumulation 3"-7" (was 3"-6") depending on the

"These increases will be as a result of lengthened route times from 1.5 hours- 4.5 hours (was 1.5 hours-3.5 hours) during the day and at night, on some routes, a possible doubling of this cycle time between 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. "There will also be changes during the evening hours between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. when there is a dramatic decrease in traffic volume," he continued. "The NHDOT policy has always been based on ADT (Average Daily Traffic), but in reality ADT is not a straight line over the course of the day, so therefore why should the roadway maintenance and associated cost be constant over the course of the day? People can swim at a public beach any time of the day but lifeguards are only employed between 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., same reasoning. This will be noticed primarily on the lesser traveled roads with an ADT less than 5,000 but could affect any type of roadway depending on traffic patterns. To say that no plowing will occur on any state road between 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. is a gross misstatement. This will be essentially the same practice that Maine and Vermont utilize during their evening hours." Dobbins said there would be exceptions to the proposed non-plowing timeline depending on the amount of snow or ice coming down per hour from storms or other emergency situations. Roads that lead to hospitals will always be plowed, according to Dobbins. "We'll always have crews working during a storm," he said. "If an issue comes up on one of those roads, we'll dispatch one of our plows from another road to deal with it."

Top of the Hill Child Care & Preschool joins Director Network BERLIN -- Top of the Hill Child Care & Preschool, a licensed child care center in Whitefield, is the latest center to join the Coös County’s Director Network. Director and owner, April Ronish, was recently invited to join the forward moving group of child care providers and attended her first meeting on August 4th. The Director Network is a group of ten directors of child care centers throughout Coos County who meet monthly to collaborate and share their expertise with the intention of increasing their individual capacities to provide quality child care. The Director Network meetings are held from 1-3 pm on the first Thursday of the month. The agenda items generate from the needs of the child care centers in the county. They often include specific information pertaining to professional development activities that have been suggested by research to improve the quality of the delivery of services to children. The coordination of this information creates an alignment of best practice to be established throughout Coös County, with the intention of becoming a model of quality care. The Network was developed as part of the Early Childhood Initiative, at White Mountains Community College (WMCC) in Berlin. Currently, directors are taking turns hosting the meetings in their respective towns.
The August meeting was planned by Sue Blais, of the White Mountains Community College Child Care Center and was held at the college. The meeting included training on the New Hampshire Immunization Program by Elaine Belanger. There was also discussion on CSEFEL training (Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning), which will be held at WMCC on August 11th. Additional topics included environmental rating scales and quality improvement plans. “We are excited to have April Ronish as the first operator from a group family childcare center to join us,” said Director Network member Amy Graham, of Lancaster Play and Learn Center. Top of the Hill falls under the category that allows an occupied residence, in which the provider works with an aide or co-worker, to care for up to 12 preschool children, and often, up to 5 school–age children. Ms. Ronish has a website which describes her program in detail and can be found at: www.topofthehillcc.com. She is looking forward to connecting with her Coös County peers and accessing the opportunities available through the college. White Mountains Community College is home to the Early Childhood Initiative and is a partner in the Early Childhood Development North Country Strategy funded by the Neil

and Louise Tillotson Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. The goal of the Initiative is to help child care centers throughout Coos County improve the quality of their programs. The five-year Strategy is designed to help all children thrive by focusing services and information for parents on the early years of growth and development, supporting professional development and continued education for early childhood profes-
