Three fires under investigation BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — Berlin Fire Department was kept on its toes last week with three fires in the area of Willard Street between Thursday and Friday. All three incidents are under investigation and possibly related. On Thursday, fire crews responded to a brush fire in the area behind the Harvest Christian Church. On Friday afternoon, a similar fire was extinguished in the woods behind the high school. According to Lt. William Maddalena of Berlin Fire Department, both were started when someone lit the bark on birch trees.

A witness said she saw a juvenile male light the birch tree that started the brush fire behind the school, Maddalena said. Police were able to get a description of the teen, but were not immediately able to locate him. Friday evening, fire crews responded to Willard Street yet again, this time for a shed at 117 Willard that was in flames. Maddalena said it is unclear whether that fire is related to the two woodland fires, but “the brush fires — they’re definitely related.” Anyone with information on any of these three fires is asked to call Berlin Fire at 752-3135 or Berlin Police at 752-3131.

wild. “We’ll clean this up and make it even more bombproof,” Salisbury said, this time pointing at a section that had been cut back into the hillside, away from a 50-foot drop. “Instantly it’s better and safer and more stable.” The work is anything but easy, however. The four-man trail crew tackling this section spends nights at Hermit Lake and hikes into the bowl each morning. The crew members bring pry bars, Hilti hammer drills, grip hoist winches (“a real key to trail work for us,” according to Salisbury) and pick-axes up on the mountain to help them transform exposed slopes into pleasant paths, but much of the work is done with their hands. “Usually we don’t use all this equipment,” Salisbury said. “This is a special occasion.” On the Tuckerman headwall, he said, if boulders start tumbling there won’t be anything to stop them from strafing sections of trail below. “The potential is there,” he said, so they closed the trail from Hermit Lake shelters to the top of the headwall. “It’s so nice to work on a closed trail,” he said. Usually hikers go around the crew, but in the ravine there’s no space. “The potential here is much higher for disaster.” see TRAIL page 5

MOUNT WASHINGTON — Most hikers don’t ever think about it, but trails through the mountains don’t build themselves. They have to be chopped, chipped, cut and carved out of the landscape, and from the moment they get cleared nature fights to crawl back in and overrun them. Sometimes nature wins. But sometimes the hikers fight back. “Look at these rocks, completely buried and grown over,” said David Salisbury, the White Mountain trails supervisor for the Appalachian Mountain Club, pointing at stone steps marching up the Tuckerman Ravine headwall a trail crew dug out from under a patch alders. “It’s funny, we’re sort of discovering old relics here.” But they’re not only discovering old relics, they’re building new ones. The Tuckerman Ravine trail is one of the most popular trails in the White Mountains. It leads 4.2 miles from the parking lot at Pinkham Notch to the summit of Mount Washington, passing pine forests, stunted krumholtz, alpine tundra and talus of the summit cone, traversing the famed Tuckerman Ravine headwall along the way. It climbs 4,250 feet from notch to summit and varies from a single-lane forest road to an exposed goat path. This year, for the first time in decades, the most precarious section is getting rebuilt and rehabbed, reclaimed from the

Arts stung by cuts in state aid KANSAS (NY Times) — For 10 years Erika Nelson, an artist in Lucas, Kan., has been making miniature models of giant pieces of Americana, putting them in a van and driving around the country to show people. She has made tiny copies, for example, of the World’s Largest Ball of Twine, which is down the road in Cawker City, and the World’s Largest Can of Fruit Cocktail, which is in Sunnyvale, Calif. She calls her mobile museum The World’s Largest Collection of the World’s Smallest Versions of the World’s Largest Things. But this year she may not be able to travel far. Kansas, which has one of the country’s smallest state arts budgets, has decided to shrink it even further, to zero. “I think it’s a sad day for Kansas,” said Ms. Nelson who lost a $2,000 state grant that had helped underwrite her van’s trips to colleges and county fairs. Across the country this is a tough time for small arts groups because state grants have largely shriveled up. Thirty-one states, still staggered by the recession, cut their arts budgets for the 2012 fiscal year, which began on July 1, continuing a downturn that has seen such financial aid drop 42 percent over the last decade, according to data compiled by the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies.

As debt ceiling vote looms, leaders court skeptics

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress began making their final arguments Monday on behalf of the debt ceiling deal to skeptical members in advance of votes in both chambers. With only hours left before Tuesday’s looming deadline that carries the threat of a federal default, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. arrived at the Capitol on Monday morning for back-to-back, closed-door meetings with Democratic lawmakers in the House and

Senate. Republicans in the House and Senate also huddled in advance of the votes. The last-minute wrangling on Monday morning reflected the lack of enthusiasm for the debt deal as lawmakers, party activists and pundits expressed relief but little excitement for a compromise that appears to have left few partisans eagerly promoting the deal as the one they wanted. On the Senate floor on Monday, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader,

said: “People on the right are upset. People on the left are upset. People in the middle are upset.” But he called it a “remarkable agreement which will protect the long-term health of our economy.” In his first public comments since the deal was reached Sunday night, Mr. Boehner on Monday hailed the agreement for providing a path toward a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

Syrian forces renew strike Opposing the health law, Florida refuses millions on restive city of Hama BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Syrian security forces attacked the central city of Hama for a second day on Monday as the government pressed its campaign to crush a four-month-old popular uprising against the government of President Bashar al-Assad. On Sunday, at least 70 people were killed when the military and security forces assaulted Hama and other restive cities before dawn, in the broadest and fiercest crackdown yet. The shelling resumed Monday in the early hours of the morning as

people were returning home from mosques where they had performed dawn prayers, according to residents and protesters. At least three people were killed, according to activists. Obada Arwany, an activist reached by telephone, said that tanks had entered two neighborhoods, Al Qousour and Al Hamidiya, and shelled residential buildings there. One man died in his sleep when his house was shelled and another was killed by a sniper’s bullet as he was getting in his car.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (NY Times) — When it comes to pursuing federal largess, most of the states that oppose the 2010 health care law have refused to let either principle or politics block their paths to the trough. Then there is Florida. The state has turned away scores of millions of dollars in grants made available under the Affordable Care Act. And it is not pursuing grants worth many millions more. In recent months, either Gov. Rick Scott’s administration or the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature has rejected grants aimed at moving long-term care patients into their homes, curbing child abuse through in-home counseling and strengthening state regulation of health premiums. They have shunned money to help sign up eligible recipients for Medicare, educate teenagers on preventing pregnancy and plan for the health insurance exchanges that the law requires by 2014.

Body of Celina Cass recovered from river

WEST STEWARTSTOWN — Investigators have confirmed that they have found the body of Celina Cass, an 11-year-old girl who has been missing for a week. Her body was found near the Canaan Hydro-Dam on the Connecticut River, which is on the border of New Hampshire and Vermont. “We have brought Celina home,” said an emotional Assistant Attorney General Jane Young, who has been leading the investigation. “It’s not the way we wanted to bring her home.” Young said Celina’s death is being treated as a suspicious death. An autopsy is planned for Tuesday. Celina was last seen in her West Stewartstown home on July 25. Celina’s family said they last saw her at her computer shortly before she went to bed the night of July 25. The next morning when they went to wake her up, she was gone. At about 10:45 a.m. Monday, a dive team came up from the water, and shortly after, other investigators and Young went to the scene. The media were asked to leave the area.

Roads on the Canaan side of the river were closed off, blocking the view of the river. The body wasn’t removed until shortly before 5 p.m. Monday afternoon, several of Celina’s relatives had gathered at her home and could be seen crying. The FBI had offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to the location of Celina and the arrest and prosecution of a suspect. A separate $5,000 reward from an anonymous citizen was announced for anyone who could provide information leading to her whereabouts. Her disappearance led to a massive law enforcement effort involving more than 50 FBI agents and an equal number of officials from state and local police, search crews and dive teams. Investigators have said that they had received hundreds of tips but few solid leads. Over the weekend, Celina’s father, Adam Laro, pleaded for her safe return. Monday morning, her stepfather, Wendell Noyes, was taken by ambulance to Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital. —Courtesy of WMUR

N.H. delegation split on debt ceiling deal MANCHESTER, — Members of New Hampshire’s congressional delegation were split on whether they planned to vote a plan to raise the country’s debt ceiling and. Congressional leaders have agreed on a deal that would raise the debt ceiling through 2012 and call for nearly $2.5 trillion in spending cuts. Economists warned that failing to raise the debt ceiling would mean that the United States would default on its debt for the first time in history, lowering its credit rating and delivering a major blow to the worldwide economy. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the negotiations have been a circus at times, but he praised the deal that would raise the debt ceiling through the election. He lauded the planned creation of a committee that would be charged with finding savings beyond the budget reductions laid out in the bipartisan agreement.

“And everything is on the table for that committee,” Carney said. “Everything, including entitlement reform and tax reform.” U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., called it a good start. “It’s a down payment on reducing our debt and deficits,” she said. “We obviously have a long way to go. And it protects Social Security, the benefits for Medicare and the social safety net for those most in need in this country.” By mid-afternoon, Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte would only say she was looking at the deal closely. Freshman U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta signaled he might break with leadership and vote against the bill. “We gave an indication that we would not raise the debt ceiling without significant and systemic change in this country, and that’s what we are fighting for,” he said. —Courtesy of WMUR

I am grateful to Granite Reliable Wind To the editor: I am writing to express my public gratitude and support to the owners of the Granite Reliable Wind project currently under construction in Dummer, Millsfield, and Dixville. Recently there have been accusations against other wind developers in New England for supposedly not using local firms. Although I can’t comment on other projects, I can say that my company has been a partner on the GRP project since it’s inception. This is a large and ambitious project, and the conventional wisdom is that northern New England consulting firms are not large and/or sophisticated enough to handle these projects. Pip

Decker and the folks at GRP placed their bets on Horizons Engineering early on, as well as other local professionals, and they were not disappointed. In a time when engineering projects are extremely competitive and companies are weathering historically tough times, this project was instrumental to Horizon’s success and our North Country employees way of life. GRP made good on their promise to use local consultants, and we are thankful for that. Andrew J. Nadeau, PLS Vice President Professional Land Surveyor ME, NH, VT

Let’s all beat them at their own game To the editor: Well my friends, here we go again. The ink from my pen was not yet dry when the Big Circle people did just what I said about trying to raise gas prices and believe me they will try and try again. WMUR 9 said that the average gas price in NH is $3.72. That’s strange because while I was down state last weekend the only ones that I saw that were close to that average were Exxon/Mobile and the Big Circle at from $3.72 to $3.78.

The others ranged from $3.57 to $3.64. Gas stations in Gorham follow the Big Circle. The best gas prices are still the east side and lower Glen Avenue. Keep up the good work; we can beat them at their own game. By the way, the prices for pre-buy oil down state average $3.39 to $3.49. Ask the Big Circle what their pre-buy is. Try $3.70!

Operation School Supplies is underway

It’s hard to imagine that in only a matter of weeks school bells will be ringing to welcome children back for another year of learning. This is also the time of year when many families struggle to purchase the supplies their child/children need to begin the new school year. New Hampshire Catholic Charities and The Family Resource Center are once again sponsoring Operation School Supplies in an effort to help ease this financial burden. Hundreds of children have been assisted with items such as backpacks, crayons, markers, folders, paper, pens, pencils etc. In recent years other specialty items have also been necessary for students to purchase such as highlig123 Main Street, Gorham or New Hamp-

shire Catholic Charities 633 Third Ave. Berlin. Hi-lighters, post-it notes, water-based white-out, index cards and a pocket thesaurus. The schools provide lists of necessary supplies for each grade. Registered children are then given supplies accordingly, as supplies are available. Donations are needed and may be left at The Family Resource Center For more information or to register your child, call either Donna Piet of the Family Resource Center at 466-5190 ext. 317 or Nicole Plourde of New Hampshire Catholic Charities at 7521325. Deadline for registration is August 12th. School supplies will be distributed at St. Joseph Church, 633 Third Ave. on Wednesday, August 17th, 10am – 12pm.

Words and Pictures

First, the bad news. Joe Cupo is the evening weatherman on Channel 6 and in recent weeks he’s been pointing to a weather system on his map and calling it “this guy.” He may think that this makes him sound like a real inside weather guy himself, but it doesn’t, it makes him sound dumb. Another weather dummy tells us that a low pressure area is “slip slidin’ away,” which was all right when Simon and Garfunkel used it in a song, but not when it’s used in a news program about weather. Not only that, but a previously reliable host of “This Week” addressed both the American Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense as “You guys,” and so did the previously reliable host of Celtic Thunder on PBS and the local host who kept referring to another music group as “You guys.” This epidemic is not yet universal, and I found a probably temporary reprieve when a high-level cable anchor said that an Internet hacking scheme had left her “flummoxed.” That’s a good word, but for many years it’s been sliding down and then almost off the scale of everyday use. It seems to be staging a comeback now, so I continue to hope for our language. I was also pleased to see the young girl who was going to sing our national anthem before a local ball game, but when her big moment came she forgot the second verse. She looked flummoxed for just a moment, then, thinking quickly, she sang the previous verse again. I’ve seen network stars who didn’t do as well. There are increasingly dangerous signs in other fields, however, so these treasured moments of happiness may also be forlorn hopes. Suddenly our ears are being assailed by a rash of on-air speakers who signal the end of a phrase or a sentence by dropping their voice to a sort of croak. These are always women, because their vocal apparatus is different than their male counterparts, and when this happens I start by yelling at the screen, but it doesn’t help. Then I turn off either the sound or the station, but apparently they’re too far away to be embarrassed and not smart enough to get it right. The owners should also tell weatherman “Todd” that he talks too fast and runs out of breath and has to gasp in mid-phrase to catch up. More bad news came when we learned that 3,653 American post offices will be closed. This is apparently meant as an economy measure, and it may save a few pennies here and there across the land, but whoever is in charge of these things should be warned that if one of the post offices scheduled for the axe is in Jackson, mail-goers will lose essential lessons in both local history and English grammar. The history lesson is found in the wonderful postcard montage over the desk in the lobby, but that doesn’t mean that we’re home free. The pictures show the elder days in Jackson and the grammar lesson is in the pictures of Bill and Betty Whitney, who played major roles in both lodgings and skiing in our town. The pictures are identical and they both have a failed possessive. There are also two pictures of the Morrison’s log cabin on Thorn Mountain. That

family and my forebears were living in Providence and coming to Jackson for the summer in the earlier days of the last century, which is why my grandfather’s name is pressed into the masonry of the cabin. There’s a section of wall in the cabin that the families used as a sort of hiking diary and there’s a section of rock on the lawn that young Stanley Howe used as a slide, a habit that cost him the seat of several pairs of pants and some stern advice from his parents. The picture of the “Thorn Mountain Ski Cabin” remembers a short-lived but unusual ski area in Jackson. The first thing a visitor saw was such a steep slope rising above the parking lot that many first-time visitors probably turned around and went right home again. The persistent heroes who did stay would find a chair lift with obviously home-made towers and such low chairs on the line that an occupants’ skis would drag on the ground and care had to be taken to avoid falling off if their skis were caught in the snow. Another picture shows a hay wain in July of 1908, and it reminds us of a job and a word that have both been lost. A wain was a farmer’s wagon that was made for lighter loads and not, say, for hauling rocks or timber. If we were in a car that was about to pass a hay wain we’d lean out the windows and try to catch a handful of hay before the older and wiser among us could seize a piece of clothing and save us from falling under the wagon wheels. Then there’s “Ma and Pa Gale,” who were proprietors of The Eagle Mountain House which was directly across the valley from our hotel. Pa Gale and my grandmother never tired of arguing about which place was higher, and seen in daylight it’s very obvious that our place is higher, so Pa Gale found a perfect solution to the question. He only came to visit my grandmother at night. The brown building that’s now The Wildcat Tavern also finds a place on the Yesterdays’ wall of yesterdays, and both then and now we see two sets of door handles on the side wall where one set would seem to be enough. This arrangement was made to accommodate deliveries by someone in a higher wagon or standing at ground level. Bessie’s shop lives on in the picture, but, sadly, not the maple sugar she sold. And, next door, we’ve lost “Phunny Phinney” who had a photo shop in the building that seemed to be empty, then a gnome-like little man would peer out from behind a black curtain and attend to his maple sugar business. And, in a final chance at glory, we see the Solarium at Jackson Falls, a series of platforms built out over the river where colored lights, a swing band, and graceful dancers showed us what life was like at the outer edges of glamour. We also see Fernald Cottages, where guests would find a mixed blessing. They’d be sleeping in tents before effective bug repellents or practical screens were available and, being warmer than their surroundings, the sleepers would be homing beacons for every kind of flying biters. I know, I’ve done it. (Nicholas Howe is a writer from Jackson. E-mail him at nickhowe@ncia.net.)

Auto Road hosts festive gala weekend PINKHAM NOTCH — The Mt. Washington Auto Road’s season long 150th Birthday celebration reaches its “peak” this weekend with a diverse and unparalleled series of events and activities. It was on Aug. 8, 1861 that the 8 mile Auto Road to the summit (then called the Carriage Road) first opened to the public, making it America’s first manmade attraction. This eventful weekend kicks off on Friday, Aug. 5, from 5-8 p.m., with the Mt. Washington Valley Old Car Club Cruise Night at the base of the Auto Road. Saturday, August 6, beginning at 5:30 p.m. is the Sesquicentennial Gala, a Victorian themed evening that will include an elegant dinner, champagne toast, music, dancing, custom birthday cakes, a time travel presentation with Darby Field and fireworks. Guests are requested to wear vintage or formal attire. Tickets are $125 per couple or $65 per person. Sunday, August 7, from 12-7 p.m. will be the Mt. Washington Auto Road crew reunion. All past and present employees of the company are TRAIL from page one

The four men on the crew, however, all in their early 20s, have no trouble working through the exposure. Each wears a uniform of Limmer boots, blue Dickies, a yellow hard hat and no shirt. They refer to each other by nicknames reserved for the woods: Tubes, Iceman, Weezy and Pie. They pull rocks from the hillside to create steps, drill holes through them to pin them in place, and winch them up steep slopes to spots otherwise too steep to tread. The team has a trail to build and four weeks to build it — they’re out there rain or shine. “Another day in hell, huh?” Salisbury asked Tubes, or Jeff Amari in urban life. “This is heaven,” he said, and he struggled with a rock the size of a grocery basket. Lower down, Mike Saucier (Pie) and Nico Azel (Weezy) pull another rock out of the underbrush to use as a step higher up. One of them mans the winch while the other guides the stone, which looks like it could weigh 300 pounds. It gets hung up on another rock, and Salisbury goes down to help. He winches while Weezy and Pie put their shoulders into pry bars. The work is slow and physical, but within a few minutes the stone is in place. “A lot of work for a second of use,” Salisbury said, now covered in sweat. “It’s a job you want to be in your prime

welcomed to reminisce and enjoy a complimentary trip up the Auto Road. From 1:30-7 p.m. will be opening day of a historic White Mountain Art exhibit, assembled by the Banks Gallery of Portsmouth. At 7 p.m. the public is invited to a showing of “Brush and Pen” a new documentary about the rich history of artists and writers in the White Mountains. Monday, August 8, is an all day birthday celebration. Any car that arrives with a “This car climbed Mt. Washington” sticker permanently attached to its bumper will get free passage on the Auto Road (vehicle limitations apply). In addition, the US Postal Service will be on hand to issue a one day only commemorative pictorial postmark to celebrate the occasion. A display of vintage and antique vehicles will also be on public view. Sponsors for this weekend’s events include: PSNH, Berlin City Auto Group, Northway Bank, Infantine/ Cross Insurance, Pike Industries, Acadia Insurance and FairPoint. For more information call (603) 466-3988 or visit the website: www. mtwashingtonautoroad.com for. I couldn’t do it anymore everyday. I like to come and watch though.” “This is definitely the crux of what they are doing,” he said, pointing to the section with the steps. When they are finished they will bypass a rotten gully that is slowly eroding away. Salisbury explains what the crew is doing, but the team never pauses from its work. And what do they get for a day of their physical labor? “Minimum wage,” Weezy said with a smile. “They do get room and board,” Salisbury said. “Of course they’ve got to carry it all the time.” The crew’s contribution, however, helps preserve this and other trails throughout the White Mountains. “It’s difficult to keep up,” Salisbury said. “That’s a typical story in trail maintenance: We can’t keep up.” But solid construction endures, he said. “There’s a lot of old work on that trail, some of it really, really good.” The section should be opened up by middle or late August. Until then, AMC officials are recommending people use the Lions Head Trail or the Boot Spur Trail to access the summit from the east. In the meantime, Tubes, Iceman, Weezy and Pie will continue chopping away at the mountainside, reclaiming it for the hikers. “We’re trying to control everything,” Salisbury said. If they do a good job, “it could last indefinitely.”

Dentist at 73 Main Street Smile with Confidence

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

Eye On Vision Health — Glaucoma and Myopia If you have moderate to severe myopia or nearsightedness, you may want to talk to your eye doctor about your risk factors for glaucoma. According to a recent study people with myopia had two to three times greater chance of developing glaucoma, even when other risk factors such as age, medical conditions and family history were eliminated. Glaucoma has few, if any, symptoms and does progressive, irreversible damage to the optic nerve fibers that send visual information to the brain. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to vision loss and in advanced stages, blindness. There are effective glaucoma treatments that can reduce the progression of the disease, if it is diagnosed early. New technologies, such as optical coherent technology (OCT) can provide a high resolution, three-dimensional scan of the back of the eye to identify damage caused by glaucoma in its early stages. Dr. Gary Cole and Dr. Laurel Pulsifer practice eye care at Conway Eye Care. Founded in 1925, Conway Eye Care and its sister office Coos Eye Care in Berlin are full service vision care centers, offering complete eye exams; OCT Scanning diagnostics; and eye surgery and treatment for eye diseases.

Top 5 Reasons to Take Your Dog to a Groomer

Contributor: Dr. Vanessa Wensing 1. Save Your Sofa from Hair and Dander. Groomers have the proper tools and training to thoroughly remove undercoat, loose hair and cleanse skin to decrease shedding and dander. 2. Make Your Pet More Comfortable. Groomers will properly remove matted hair, clean out waxy/hairy ears and trim long claws.When left unkempt these problems can lead to discomfort for your pet. 3. Protect Your Family’s Health. Groomers may identify parasitic infestations such as fleas, ticks and tapeworms that can transmit disease to people. Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Bartonellosis are examples of zoonotic diseases (diseases transmitted from animals to humans). 4. Detect Early Signs of Illness. Groomers can alert you to illnesses such as ear infections, tooth decay and skin cancer. Early detection and treatment can lead to more successful treatment outcomes. 5. Make Your Pet More Enjoyable To Cuddle. While you relax, a groomer creates a clean, soft, sweet-smelling and more kissable companion.

Golden Wedding Anniversary

Edmond and Louise Walsh celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary with family on July 1 in Portland, Maine. Their celebration started with an invitation sent to them from their granddaughter who lives in Maine. The invitation stated their granddaughter was participating in an equestrian event, but needless to say, the Walsh’s were surprised to find an Anniversary party waiting for them instead. The Walsh’s are from Berlin and dated in high school. After L Walsh’s

graduation, the couple married on July 1, 1961. The Walsh’s proudly announce that they have four children and seven grandchildren. They now reside in The Villages, Florida and have friends from Berlin visit them during the winter. E Walsh expressed his gratitude for the party and said, “Louise and I have the opportunity and joy to enjoy our family and their children’s accomplishments over time. They were all in Portland, Maine waiting for us for a surprise 50th Anniversary Party!”

Old Wildcat summit gondola building to be dismantled BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

PINKHAM NOTCH — The old gondola summit building at Wildcat is slated to be demolished, according to Peak Resorts officials. After considering all reasonable options, costs and benefits, and working with U.S. Forest Service to understand codes and requirements to renovate the existing summit building that once served as the top-station for the original Wildcat Mountain gondola, Peak Resorts in a press release this week said the company has determined that it would be too costly to renovate the old structure. The company — which purchased the ski area in October 2010 — says it has decided instead to budget the costs and expense to dismantle and remove the summit building and restore a small, but noticeable, portion of the natural summit. Wildcat operates on a special use permit from the U.S. Forest Service as it is located 100 percent on White Mountain National Forest land. The ski area first opened with its then revolutionary gondola in January 1958. The gondola was replaced with the high-speed detachable Wildcat Express summit quad in 1997.

“You have to admire and respect the history and the individuals that built what remains of the original, but long neglected, infrastructure here,” said Wildcat Mountain general manager Josh Boyd. “But, we’re in a different era with extensive building requirements and regulations that the U.S. Forest Service has in place to preserve the natural beauty of the White Mountain National Forest. And I have worked with them to understand and fully study what was possible, but building codes and related costs would require us to rebuild the building almost entirely.” Boyd said the plan now it to “remove the structure next spring, restore a bit of the natural beauty at the summit, but leave a defined footprint that may allow the U.S. Forest Service to permit a building in the foreseeable future, and to allocate any immediate capital expenses to other more pressing improvements here at Wildcat.” Boyd went on to say that an expense of this proportion to create a minor profit center that may never fully see a break-even return to simply even operate season-to-season, is “just the type of thing that challenges any ski area owner or operator to have to consider increasing the price of lift tickets

and season passes.” The White Mountain National Forest is consulting with the N.H. State Historic Preservation Office to ensure that the historic building is thoroughly documented and that its history is recorded before demolition, according to Boyd, who was hired as Wildcat’s general manager at the end of the past season. He is the son of Tim Boyd of Peak Resorts. Peak Resorts also owns nearby Attitash Mountain Resort. Boyd said the Mount Washington Observatory has already taken immediate action to relocate their summit web cam and Wildcat Mountain has worked to provide an alternate location. Known for its legendary views of neighboring Mount Washington and Tuckerman Ravine, Wildcat Mountain is host to one of many summit cams that the Mount Washington Observatory website shares with its members and general public. In addition to the ZipRider and highest scenic gondola in New Hampshire, Wildcat Mountain offers hiking, fishing, and a lift-serviced 9-hole alpine disc golf course.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis and will be cared for as such. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The way you learn grace is to, from time to time, fall from it. Much depends on your ability to recover from the tips and tumbles that are a normal part of life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You won’t give in. But the person you’re negotiating with doesn’t realize this just yet, so he or she will continue to try to sway you with logic, emotional appeals and other temptations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will maintain the policy that your emotions are no one else’s concern. You are so impressively self-contained now that you will earn the trust of people you don’t even know. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will give in on the small points and validate your loved one with your agreement, even when you’re not so sure he is right. Your selflessness, loyalty and support are commendable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though a certain person sees you as attractive in every way, your standards for yourself are a bit more stringent. You’ve set the bar high, and now you’ll work hard to keep it there. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 2). No matter what you do for a living, this year you will be in the business of making people happy. Your intuition is honed, and you’ll realize just what it takes to make people smile. This month, you’ll spend time with those you admire and make some memories. In September, you’ll sign an important contract. Sagittarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 19, 31 and 11.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Those who are observant will notice straight away: You are different from who you were before. You would rather show your newfound confidence with action than talk about it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know yourself well. You require a degree of challenge in order to stay engaged and involved. Another person might get stressed out by the stimulus you find comforting. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have nothing to prove. People react to you the way they do because of their deeply rooted attitudes and opinions that have very little, if anything, to do with you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll try new places, things and ideas. This keeps life fresh and exciting. You may spend more money than expected, but you won’t regret the expense. It’s the cost of a good life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Opposites don’t really attract as often as people say they do. However, reacting in an equal and opposite way to the one you love will build the relationship now. When the other person pushes, you pull back. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You value your friendships and expect them to take up an appropriate amount of space in your life. You have no need for overpowering relationships that upset the flow of normal life. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe you don’t know what to expect, but that hasn’t stopped you before. Go forward. You are a beloved child of the universe

UNEXPECTED PREGNANCIES CAN BRING UNEXPECTED JOY

DEAR ABBY: I am writing to respond to “Old Mama in Washington State” (June 1), whose pregnancy at 40 is unwelcome to her husband and two teens. My parents had a “bonus baby” when they were in their early 40s. I was 17 and my brother was 13 when we found out. It was hard for us to accept at first. I was grossed out by the idea of my parents having sex, and I was afraid people would think the baby was mine after she was born. All our worries disappeared when we first laid eyes on our baby sister. I love her to death, and she is lucky to have my brother as her protector. It was a good thing that we were nearly 18 years apart, because I got the benefits of a sister without having to share a room! Now, at 12, she’s a fabulous friend to my 8-year-old and will soon be big enough to babysit the 4-year-old and the baby. I’m sure “Mama’s” family will become more accepting over time. When they see that baby, they’ll know their family is finally complete. -- PROUD BIG SISTER IN CHICAGO DEAR BIG SISTER: Thank you for writing. I received a mountain of mail in response to that letter. Readers were enthusiastic in expressing their firsthand experiences being families with unexpected pregnancies. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I was pregnant with twins at 45 and my then-l8-year-old daughter was furious with me, going as far as banning me from her high school graduation. It hurt, and I agonized over the decision, but in the end I waddled in anyway. I’m so glad I did. Fast-forward: The twins are almost 3 now, and they worship their older sister and brother, and the feeling is mutual. As soon as “Mama’s” husband sees the baby, I’m sure he’ll be over the moon as well. Yes, the future looks exhausting, but it’s well worth it. This time around you’ll have so much more

patience and wisdom -- and you’ll pick your battles more wisely. -- BEEN THERE, DONE THAT DEAR ABBY: I have to agree with “Mama’s” family. Pregnant at 40 is not a miracle, and she’s deluded to think so. I was born when my mother was 42. I’m 16 years younger than my oldest sibling, and all my cousins are older. It is hard growing up with no siblings to play with and no cousins to really talk to because they’re all in high school and don’t want a “kid” tagging along. I felt unwanted most of my childhood. It gets better for a while, but then you watch your parents age and die. I didn’t have the kind of relationship with my grandparents that my siblings did. And because I was born so many years behind everyone, I missed out on most of the fun family times. Please tell “Mama” not to take it personally, to be sure her new addition is paid attention to and assured that he/she is much loved and wanted. -- UNEXPECTED SURPRISE IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: I was 42, with children ages 12 and 17, when we were surprised by an unplanned pregnancy. We were concerned, of course, with the statistics for a complicated pregnancy, so we had the testing done and trusted that everything would be OK. My pregnancy and delivery were the best of all three, and my little girl has been a blessing to everyone. She’s now 13, and living with a teenager when you’re in your 50s is a surefire way to stave off dementia. You have to stay on your toes, and we thank God that he chose to send us one last bundle of joy. “Mama,” don’t let the resentment of your family steal your happiness. They will either have a change of heart or not, but that baby will be loved, because she has a mom with a lot of experience. -- ANOTHER OLD MOM IN RICHMOND

North Country Men’s Basketball League update –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

(7-1) Mr. Pizza 102 vs (0-8) Cross Machine 57 Mr. Pizza continued its dominance of the South division by remaining undefeated in divisional play. Zack Bacon again picked up his play to all-star caliber level and dropped 23 points. Team mate Zack Donaldson’s netted 22 points and Mike Keneson added 20. Tyler Baillargeon continued his heroic efforts and dropped in 26 points. Cameron Patry chipped in with 15. Cross Machine was simply outmatched while playing in the heat

with only 5 players. (2-6) Tough Guys 83 vs (2-6) Caron Building Center 70 Caron Building Center hoped to sweep the series against the Tough Guys. However, the Tough Guys on the back of Jeremy Michalick would not let that happen. Michalik dropped 32 points in his personal best of the season. For Caron’s, Ian Boyco countered with 28 points acquiring his season high and Yiram Villanueva hit 5 threes in the first half. In the end of this back and forth game the Tough Guys played better defense down the stretch and got the win. (4-4) Isaacson Steel 63 vs. (7-1)

Morneau Travel 60 Missing three great players for the game Morneau Travel had difficulty getting their offense started. Their six players were no match for the high powered offense of Anthony Bathalon and his crew. Although Morneau Travel held Bathalon to 20 points his assists helped Keith Griffin score 17 and Rivard and Therrien to each chip in with 10 points a piece. Morneau Travel fought back at the end with a chance at a three to tie the game on the buzzer that came up short. Jordan Wheelock’s 16 points led the team with Joey Arsenault adding another 15 and Tyler Palmer with 13 markers.

(6-2) Town and Country 88 vs. (4-4) North Country Dental 83 North Country Dental had another heartbreaking loss. North Country Dental has not yet lost a game by a large margin, but cannot seem to finish games after jumping out to big leads. Jake Drouin again came up big for the dentists with 31 points and running mate Ethan Enman dropped six three-point bombs. However, T+C’s Brandon Frost’s 29 points and Justin Stroup’s 23 ultimately stole the show and kept Town and Country in the running for first place in their division with a 6-2 record.

New Hampshire Environmental Literacy Plan available for comment

CONCORD — A draft Environmental Literacy Plan for New Hampshire is now available for public review and comment. The Environmental Literacy Plan creates a pathway for achieving statewide environmental literacy and is a required element for federal funding based on the pending No Child Left Inside Legislation. Environmental literacy is about having an understanding of the natural world and the ability to make decisions about the environment based on scientific, economic, aesthetic and ethical considerations. For the past two years, the NH Environmental Literacy Working Group has been working on developing New Hampshire’s Environmental Literacy Plan. The Working Group consists of members from NH Environmental Educators, NH Children in Nature Coalition, universities, organizations and individuals. The group conducted surveys, forums and focus groups to gather input from a wide variety of people around the state. It is now time for public review of the document. “One of the major focuses of the plan is to make sure children and youth are spending time learning in and about the outdoors, and that their teachers have the training to use the environment as a context for learning,” said Judy Silverberg, the group’s convener. Comments are welcomed as the group finalizes the New Hampshire plan. Input is being sought on the overall viability of the plan, as well as the following considerations for each of six key areas covered in the plan: * Are the short, medium and long term outcomes achievable? * Are there additional approaches or strategies that should be used? * Are there additional partners that should be identified? The draft N.H. Environmental Literacy Plan is accessible for

review and comment by the September 1, 2011, deadline, at http://nhenvironmentalliteracyplan.wordpress. com (click on “The Draft NH Plan.” Written comments may be sent to Judy Silverberg, NH Fish and Game Department, 11 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH, 03301. New Hampshire Environmental

Educators (NHEE) is the state professional organization for people working and or interested in environmental education. NHEE is dedicated to promoting, supporting and improving environmental education in New Hampshire and providing professional support to its members.

De Temps Antan Quebeqois to perform at St. Kieran Art Center BERLIN — St. Kieran Art Center will present the outstanding Quebeqois band De Temps Antan on Monday, August 8, at 7 p.m. as part of the August Celtic Mondays Series. Tickets are $15 at the door and $13 for Arts Center members. It takes a special blend of musical flair to create memorable songs of yesteryear! Traditional and well-loved songs with a hint of contemporary— dosed liberally with uncontrolled laughter, deep-rooted melodies and sudden, impromptu shifts—that speak to familiar rhythms of the past but creating the magic of Quebeqois music for all time. Since 2003, Éric Beaudry, André Brunet and Pierre-Luc Dupuis have been exploring and performing timehonoured melodies from the stomping grounds of Quebec’s musical past. Using fiddle, accordion, harmonica,

guitar, bouzouki and a number of other instruments, our three virtuosos blend boundless energy with the unmistakable joie de vivre found only in traditional Quebeqois music. They are all former members of La Bottine Souriante, the premier standard setter in Quebec heritage music for more than two decades. http://detempsantan.qc.ca “In fact, the only thing missing from this what this incredible trio has to offer is the energy that comes from their playing with deep passion for a live and enthusiastic audience! So come on out to the Arts Center to enjoy an evening of fun and exciting entertainment with De Temps Antan. You won’t want miss this one!” said Joan Chamberlain, executive director. Upcoming performances include ASHELIN on Monday, August 15: a dynamic band of five sisters from New-
