BERLIN, N.H.

When Tropical Storm Irene caused the banks of the Peabody River to overflow on Sunday, the river carved a new course, right alongside and then across White Birch Lane in Gorham. Buckled pavement, sediment and boulders effectively shortened this dead-end road, leaving many residents having to park their vehicles and hike in to their properties. (MELISSA GRIMA PHOTO)

The home of Elaine Bernier at the end of White Birch Lane along the Peabody River was in the line of fire of the rising waters brought on by Tropical Storm Irene. The river left its banks at this bend and carved an alternate route, including surrounding Bernier’s home and taking her deck stairs, foundation insulation, and propane tank off their moorings. Bernier said the water likely ruined her well and septic systems with clay sediment. (MELISSA GRIMA PHOTO)

Irene damages select streets in Berlin survives Tropical Storm Irene: No major problems Gorham: Residents rescued BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM — While much of the Great North Woods escaped the weekend’s tropical storm relatively unscathed, those along the Peabody River in Gorham saw a little more excitement as the river rose over its banks so quickly that help was needed. Roads in the area of the Pea-

body sustained some damage, but according to Gorham Emergency Management Director Chad Miller, no one was injured including those few who were rescued from their homes. Miller said a few residents were evacuated by boat from their Bangor Street homes at the height of the see GORHAM page 6

BERLIN -- The city weathered Tropical Storm Irene with no major catastrophes but a lot of minor flooding and tree limbs down on power lines and roads. There were scattered power outages on Sunday but the major outage occurred early Monday morning

when a Public Service of N.H. substation went down. Berlin public works, fire, and police department set up an operations center at the police station Sunday to coordinate the city’s response to Irene. Berlin Public Works Director Michael Perreault said a lot of small see BERLIN page 6

RANDOLPH -- Newlyweds Judy Ann and Daniel Tremblay plans for wedded bliss took a hit from Tropical Storm Irene. The couple married just over a week ago, planning to spend the rest of the summer in their 32-foot camper located on Charles Lowe’s property on Valley Road. Their two grand daughters were visiting them and their future daughter-in-law was staying with them in their smaller

23-foot camper. With the reports of Hurricane Irene on the way, Judy Ann Tremblay said they thought they were safe, having been told the nearby Israel’s River had never been a flooding problem. On Sunday, Tremblay said the couple noticed the river had risen two feet by noon and decided to keep an eye on it. With the river continuing to rise dramatically, she said they decided by 2 p.m. that they would have to evacuate and starting packsee NEWLYWEDS page 6

Tactics in Libya may be a model for other efforts

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — It would be premature to call the war in Libya a complete success for United States interests. But the arrival of victorious rebels on the shores of Tripoli last week gave President Obama’s senior advisers a chance to claim a key victory for an Obama doctrine for the Middle East that had been roundly criticized. Administration officials say that even though the NATO intervention in Libya, emphasizing airstrikes to protect civilians, cannot be applied uniformly in other hotspots like Syria, the conflict may, in some important ways, become a model for how the United States wields force in other countries where its interests are threatened. The Libya action helped to establish two principles for when the United States could apply military force to advance diplomatic interests even if its national security is not threatened. Obama laid out those principles on March 28, when he gave an address on the Libya conflict, During that speech, Obama said that America had the responsibility to stop what he characterized as a looming genocide in the Libyan city of Benghazi (Principle 1). At the same time, he said, when the safety of Americans is not directly threatened but where action can be justified — in the case of genocide, say — the United States will act only on the condition that it is not acting alone (Principle 2).

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (NY Times) — As 5.5 million homes and businesses remained without power across the Eastern seaboard and blue skies and temperate breezes replaced what had been Hurricane Irene, a clearer picture of the storm’s devastation emerged Monday with inland communities in upstate New York and Vermont continuing to suffer the most acute consequences from river flooding. While most eyes were warily

watching the shore during Irene’s grinding ride up the East Coast, it was inland — sometimes hundreds of miles inland — that the storm’s most serious devastation actually occurred. And it was the water, not the wind, that was the major culprit. In New York, the town of Prattsville has been washed away. In other areas, houses were swept from their foundations and one woman drowned on Sunday when an overflowing creek submerged the

cottage where she was vacationing. Flash floods continued to be a concern into the afternoon on Monday. In Vermont, people remained stranded with dwindling provisions of food and water after bridges collapsed and hundreds of roads remained under water. Swollen rivers continued to be a threat. And some two dozen emergency shelters were “chock full” of hundreds of people displaced from flooded homes, Gov. Peter Shumlin said.

N.Y. subway back; other transit rumbles to life NEW YORK (NY Times) — The New York City subway, whose closing in the lead-up to Tropical Storm Irene was perhaps the most unsettling element of a prodigious storm preparation effort, was back to its usual robust self on Monday, with most trains running on a nearly normal schedule. All of the subway’s 22 lines, including express and local service, were restored, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. While the agency said fewer trains ran than in a regular morning

(NY Times) — Under clear skies, airlines that serve the New York City area and other Northeastern cities started to return their planes to service on Monday, but many warned that travelers whose plans were thrown into disarray by Hurricane Irene could still face scheduling problems and delays through the week. The challenges in reinstating flights, after tens of thousands of them were canceled over the weekend, were evident at some airports on Monday, showing that at this early stage, at least, the airlines were struggling to siphon off the backlog of delayed or stranded passengers. Frustrated travelers jammed Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday. People slept on floors, sat on their bags or on luggage carts to read, or watched movies on their computers. Industry analysts said that it could take about a week to unwind the snarled traffic caused by the approximately 10,000 to 12,000 flights canceled because of the hurricane, although it depended on the airline and the airport.

Mud and rock washed down from the mountain and covered much of the main base lodge area at Attitash. (COURTESY PHOTO)

Attitash, Wildcat sustain storm damage

Attitash Mountain Resort in Bartlett and Wildcat Mountain in Pinkham Notch are among the businesses recovering from tropical storm Irene’s heavy rains and wind that flooded many parts of the state Sunday. Efforts were already under way at Attitash Monday morning to clean up significant mud and rock that washed down from the mountain and covered much of the main base lodge area. Less was known at Wildcat Mountain about possible effects of the storm because a major section of Route 16 between Glen and Gorham was closed Monday morning, effectively shut off access to Pinkham Notch. In addition to the heavy washout, Attitash Mountain Resort’s new Mountain Coaster will remain closed until necessary grading around the base area can be completed and structural track supports can be secured

again and inspected for operation. It is not known at this time when the newest attraction at Attitash Mountain Resort will reopen because all efforts are focused on cleaning up the base area, inspecting for safety, and reopening all other summer attractions as soon as possible this week and before the upcoming Labor Day weekend. It is expected that Wildcat Mountain will be able to make similar efforts as necessary to reopen this week. Both Wildcat Mountain and Attitash Mountain Resort plan to reopen and operate as soon as possible following all required work to inspect attractions for safety and clean-up after the storm.

Virginia Hefferman The New York Times

Revamping Reality Reality television needs reformation. As a longtime fan of even the louchest reality shows — “The Bachelor,” “America’s Next Top Model,” you name it — I never thought I’d say that. Reform, I long believed, would cost the vaudeville genre its freaky and subversive status as a fact-fiction hybrid. We’d lose all the surprises, comic and dramatic, generated by reality’s artful and mischievous line-walking. But the suicide of Russell Armstrong, a middleaged investor with financial problems who appeared as a rich middle-aged investor on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” on Aug. 15, has convinced me otherwise. I should have said something sooner. The whole genre needs an overhaul. The longtime modus operandi of reality television has damaged the shows’ participants, the TV business and the public trust. Mr. Armstrong was a man who wrestled with a deep cast of demons. But for Bravo’s pseudo-documentary cameras he also came to “play” a man with demons. In scenes that conformed to a soap-opera template, Mr. Armstrong could be portrayed as a foil for his eager-to-please, if slightly melancholic, wife, Taylor. His gloom made Taylor shine more brightly. And it was her personal brand that both Armstrongs joined the show

explicitly to promote. With the tension between them good for onscreen drama, good for producers and presumably good for the Armstrong brand, it seemed that everyone — viewers, producers, performers — was getting out of this dubious agreement what they came for. But actors like James Gandolfini and Susan Lucci are trained, and paid, to play evil characters. It takes tremendous finesse and professionalism not to let regularly playing villains affect an actor’s offscreen life. And that’s for performers appearing as villains in shows designated as fiction. “Real Housewives” — even for fans who realize that producers plot, structure, goose and sometimes even stage action — is styled as documentary. Viewers pass judgment on the characters that are indistinguishable from their judgments of the performers. Bethenny Frankel. Camille Grammer. Russell Armstrong. Omarosa. As fans know, “Real Housewives,” with Mr. Armstrong’s collaboration, skillfully locked him into the role of an unstable killjoy. He was an intriguing character to watch, but no doubt a hard character to embody — or live with. Indeed, Taylor, his wife of six years, filed for divorce in July. Shortly before he died, Mr. Armstrong told reporters see REVAMPING page 5

Paul Krugman The New York Times

Republicans Against Science

Jon Huntsman Jr., a former Utah governor and ambassador to China, isn’t a serious contender for the Republican presidential nomination. And that’s too bad, because Mr. Hunstman has been willing to say the unsayable about the G.O.P. — namely, that it is becoming the “anti-science party.” This is an enormously important development. And it should terrify us. To see what Mr. Huntsman means, consider recent statements by the two men who actually are serious contenders for the G.O.P. nomination: Rick Perry and Mitt Romney. Mr. Perry, the governor of Texas, recently made headlines by dismissing evolution as “just a theory,” one that has “got some gaps in it” — an observation that will come as news to the vast majority of biologists. But what really got peoples’ attention was what he said about climate change: “I think there are a substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling into their projects. And I think we are seeing almost weekly, or even daily, scientists are coming forward and questioning the original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing the climate to change.” That’s a remarkable statement — or maybe the right adjective is “vile.” The second part of Mr. Perry’s statement is, as it happens, just false: the scientific consensus about man-made global warming — which includes 97 percent to 98 percent of researchers in the field, according to the National Academy of Sciences — is getting stronger, not weaker, as the evidence for climate change just keeps mounting. In fact, if you follow climate science at all you know that the main development over the past few years has been growing concern that projections of future climate are underestimating the likely amount of warming. Warnings that we may face civilizationthreatening temperature change by the end of the century, once considered outlandish, are now coming out of mainstream research groups. But never mind that, Mr. Perry suggests; those scientists are just in it for the money, “manipulating data” to create a fake threat. In his book “Fed Up,” he dismissed climate science as a “contrived phony mess that is falling apart.” I could point out that Mr. Perry is buying into a truly crazy conspiracy theory, which asserts that thousands of scientists all around the world are on the take, with not one willing to break the code of silence. I could also point out that multiple investigations into charges of intellectual malpractice

on the part of climate scientists have ended up exonerating the accused researchers of all accusations. But never mind: Mr. Perry and those who think like him know what they want to believe, and their response to anyone who contradicts them is to start a witch hunt. So how has Mr. Romney, the other leading contender for the G.O.P. nomination, responded to Mr. Perry’s challenge? In trademark fashion: By running away. In the past, Mr. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, has strongly endorsed the notion that man-made climate change is a real concern. But, last week, he softened that to a statement that he thinks the world is getting hotter, but “I don’t know that” and “I don’t know if it’s mostly caused by humans.” Moral courage! Of course, we know what’s motivating Mr. Romney’s sudden lack of conviction. According to Public Policy Polling, only 21 percent of Republican voters in Iowa believe in global warming (and only 35 percent believe in evolution). Within the G.O.P., willful ignorance has become a litmus test for candidates, one that Mr. Romney is determined to pass at all costs. So it’s now highly likely that the presidential candidate of one of our two major political parties will either be a man who believes what he wants to believe, even in the teeth of scientific evidence, or a man who pretends to believe whatever he thinks the party’s base wants him to believe. And the deepening anti-intellectualism of the political right, both within and beyond the G.O.P., extends far beyond the issue of climate change. Lately, for example, The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page has gone beyond its longterm preference for the economic ideas of “charlatans and cranks” — as one of former President George W. Bush’s chief economic advisers famously put it — to a general denigration of hard thinking about matters economic. Pay no attention to “fancy theories” that conflict with “common sense,” the Journal tells us. Because why should anyone imagine that you need more than gut feelings to analyze things like financial crises and recessions? Now, we don’t know who will win next year’s presidential election. But the odds are that one of these years the world’s greatest nation will find itself ruled by a party that is aggressively anti-science, indeed anti-knowledge. And, in a time of severe challenges — environmental, economic, and more — that’s a terrifying prospect.

felt. She too had felt suicidal, and moreover she considered emotional problems an occupational hazard. “So many families — not just the Armstrongs — have fallen apart as a result of these shows,” Ms. Staub said. She may have been alluding to the eight divorces that the “Real Housewives” series, which has only been on the air for five years, has chronicled. Vicki Gunvalson, a veteran of “Real Housewives,” blamed the series for unhappiness in her family and the dissolution of her marriage. “We didn’t have 90 percent of the problems that we have now and I truly believe it is the show,” she has said.

7413) to register for any or all of these Whole Community Catechesis sessions presented at the Good Shepherd Parish Center (formerly and friends that his myriad problems — financial, marital and personal — were aggravated, if not caused, by the show. This is not hard to see. He was playing a dour jerk and bankrolling the production that was meant to prop up his wife with his dwindling fortune. No wonder his finances and marriage fell apart. Reality is a complicated game. And reality TV may be more complicated still. Appearing on a reality show is not straightforward work for hire, comparable to union acting on network shows like “Law & Order” or “Modern Family.” (Some actors and producers call reality TV “scab TV.”) So why play the reality game? Same reason people play game shows or the lottery: You might win. Bethenny Frankel, a participant in “The Real Housewives of New York City,” did. After years spent gamely plying her skeletal, stylish smartaleck character and her diet margaritas on reality TV, she sold the margarita brand for some $120 million to Fortune Brands’ Beam Global last March. But, like game-show contestants, most reality participants lose. And on reality shows, they lose what they came in with — their marriages, their families, their cultural capital, their professional reputations, their actual money and in some cases their freedom. (More than one “Real Housewives” husband has landed in jail.) One year ago, Charles Ommanney, an award-winning Newsweek photographer who appeared on “The Real Housewives of D.C.,” told The Times, “I was naïve and foolish to sign off on doing this,” he said. His career had suffered, he explained; his marriage collapsed. “I regretted it. I lost touch with everyone, and mix that with my marriage falling apart and the show taking over, it was very sad.” Just after Mr. Armstrong’s death, Danielle Staub, another real person who collaborated in a portrayal of herself as demonic (on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey”), gave a TV interview in which she said that she knew just how Mr. Armstrong

The “Real Housewives” series has also dramatized the foreclosures, lawsuits and financial ruin of several families who first appeared on the show living in splendor and spending profligately. (The series has chronicled children’s parties and clothesshopping sprees that cost more than $50,000, and furniture-buying binges that cost six figures.) Before he died, Mr. Armstrong said he’d felt pressure to live large in order to attract the cameras, and make sure his wife qualified for the attention of viewers looking to ogle the lives of the rich. Not only, then, did Mr. Armstrong have to act a part, he had to produce and pay for certain key scenes — footing the bill for parties and shopping sprees. It’s time for performers on reality shows to receive clear compensation; to get training in performance before appearing on air; and to have their onscreen personas distinguished for viewers from their real identities. The shows, too, need to be flagged as fiction for viewers. President Dwight D. Eisenhower called the quiz-show scandals of the 1950s “a terrible thing to do to the American people.” President Obama has not said a word about the death of Russell Armstrong. Probably it’s not his place. But the reality genre, which has pushed aesthetic boundaries for a long time, has now pushed ethical boundaries too far.

young girls, aged six to 15, helped pack up food and clothing. The water was up to their ankles in the driveway. “We had to go to higher ground,” said Tremblay. The Tremblays and their guests packed as much as they could into the smaller camper and their truck. As they finished packing, Tremblay said the water was now at mid-calf and both ends of Valley Road were flooded. “I’ve never seen things progress so rapidly,” she said, estimating the river had risen over six feet in three hours. The couple drove to the nearby Boy Scout camp which was at a higher elevation. They also called Lowe who got a BERLIN from page one

brooks, particularly on the East Side, flooded their banks. He said Bean Brook on Wood Street, Horn Brook near the White Mountain Chalet, and Johnson Brook on Kent Street were some of the problem areas. Throughout the city, the wind blew down trees and limbs. Police and Public Works crews were busy clearing streets and putting up barricades. The fire department was called out several times to respond to transformer fires caused by limbs falling on power lines. “We were hopping,” said Perreault, reporting the center handled 160 calls during the peak period of the storm. “We had crews out yesterday in force,” he said. Perreault said the city’s sewer system could not handle the heavy inflow of storm water. He said the surging water caused manhole covers to pop in some sections of the city. An estimated 20 million gallons of sewer and storm water

But many of their belonging that they had stored outside in cabinets , including their wedding presents, floated down the river. Right now, Judy Ann Tremblay said they are all staying in the smaller camper because the larger one is not livable due to the water damage inside. She said they do not have running water or electricity and have sought help in finding another place to live. While they lost many of their possessions, Tremblay said she is thankful everyone is safe. “We’re blessed we’re still alive - that we got out on time.” flowed into the system Sunday, and the city was forced to dump the overflow into the Androscoggin River as allowed under the city’s wastewater permit. Shortly after 5 a.m. Monday morning, PSNH spokesman Mike Skelton said there was an issue with the Berlin substation. Approximately 2,000 PSNH customers on the northwest side of the city, including a number of businesses and the state offices on upper Main Street, were without power for about nine hours. Skelton said temporary repairs were made to get the power back on at about 2:30 p.m. and crews were still at the scene late yesterday afternoon. “They’re working on making permanent repairs that will be done by the next day,” Skelton said. Despite the heavy rain and strong winds, Perreault said there were no reports of anyone in the city being hurt as a result of the storm. He said one police cruiser was dented by a flying branch.

rible. I was shocked when I went out there,” she said. Frost and Miller said that there was some damage done to Stoney Brook Road, Spring Road and Bangor Road, but only White Birch was impassable. Residents that were evacuated on Sunday were able to return to their homes on Monday, but the entire street remained without power. Consultants from H.E. Bergeron Engineers were on hand Monday afternoon to inspect a portion of the roadway closest to Route 16 that had been severely undermined due to massive bank erosion. Miller said a preliminary estimate of damage to town roads was approximately $1 million. Much of that should be recoupable through FEMA funding since a state of emergency was declared, he said. For those who were evacuated, Miller said, the town operated an emergency shelter at the Ed Fenn School. Fifteen people — consisting of both displaced residents and hikers — utilized the shelter on Sunday night. Frost said that in addition to the areas mentioned, residents in BraeBurn Village on Lancaster Road had been asked to evacuate due to their proximity to the Moose Brook, but no issues were reported there.

said six bids were received and the company is now in the process of analyzing and comparing the different bids. He said he expects the company will make a decision soon on which bid to award. The company hopes to have the tissue machine up and running within a year. Lynn Tilton, the CEO of Patriarch Papers which owns Gorham Paper and Tissue, has estimated it will cost approximately $35 million to purchase a new tissue machine for the mill. There are longrange plans to purchase a second and possibly a third tissue machine. Willis said modifications are ongoing to the boilers in the mill to allow them to connect to a new natural gas line being constructed. That project is on schedule to be completed by early October.

storm on Sunday, with help from Shelburne and Berlin Fire Departments, after water rose so quickly evacuation help was needed. White Birch Lane, a little bit upstream from Bangor Street was also evacuated, with firefighters providing assistance to residents. The Peabody jumped it’s bank near where White Birch ends, and in doing so, eroded a lane of the roadway for more than half the distance of the road before cutting across the blacktop to rejoin itself on its way downstream. Elaine Bernier’s house sits on the riverbank at the end of White Birch Lane and was surrounded by the rushing waters. She lost much of her yard along the river, as well as her utilities. “Everything is contaminated,” Bernier said, noting that her well and septic system were likely filled with clay or sediment from the flooding river. She pointed out that her 100-gallon propane tank was ripped off the connection to the house and carried downstream, along with the green foam insulation that surrounded much of the foundation. After a morning tour of the damaged roadways alongside Miller and Public Works Superintendent Buddy Holmes, Town Manager Robin Frost said that White Birch Lane by far was the most damaged of the town roads. “It’s terthe payroll. Willis said he hopes to restart the No. 4 paper machine in a few weeks. The machine ran for a week earlier this month. Gorham Paper and Tissue has received bids for a new tissue machine that it plans to install in the mill. Willis

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis outdo every gift. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Take a break from trying to improve yourself. What you need more than anything is rest. Also, self-acceptance will carry your efforts much further than constant internal criticism. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have interesting and useful talents now. You will be able to control your emotions, curb your cravings and fit into whatever social situation you happen to come across. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Political and moral agendas may be at odds now. Someone needs your agreement in order to move forward. However, you may not be able to give this approval in good conscience. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You won’t care whether or not you are the most amazing player on the scene. You just want to get into the game and have some fun. Because of this stellar attitude, you’ll do well. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). One of the most formidable obstacles you will encounter in the managing of your mood is the emotional tone of others. Bad attitudes and crummy moods are catching. Think ahead about how you’ll protect yourself. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 30). You want to see different parts of the world and be able to communicate fluently there. You’ll learn a “new language” -- though it may still be in your native tongue. Finances improve in September. Enjoyable work makes lifestyle upgrades possible. November brings family additions. January puts an old battle to rest. Pisces and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 31, 29 and 36.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll get the idea that break time is over. Crack down on self-discipline. The more leeway you give yourself the further away from your goals you will stray. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Avoid making assumptions about another person -- you’re not likely to assume the right thing. Instead, ask questions, even if it means you risk looking foolish. It is more endearing to be foolish than to be ignorant or wrong. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You see the light at the end of the tunnel, and you keep going toward it because you know it’s the right way. Still, there’s no reason not to enjoy your time and travels during this contained part of your journey. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everything you own needs maintenance and management. You’ll decide whether or not the time you put into keeping a certain possession clean and orderly is really worth the value of the thing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Human behavior can be somewhat of a puzzle. You’re willing to experiment, turning the pieces and trying different arrangements until something clicks. You’ll come up with a brilliant solution by day’s end. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want your loved ones to be entertained in the way they find most delightful. You’ll observe what makes them laugh and note what holds their attention. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t be so worried about giving just as much as the other person gives. It may, in fact, be a bad idea to balance the scales. Someone wants to be the bigger giver and will be disappointed if you try to

DEBATE ABOUT THANK-YOUS BOILS OVER AMONG READERS

DEAR ABBY: “Insulted in Ohio” (July 9) was offended because she’s being asked at bridal and baby showers to address a blank envelope so the honoree can send her a thankyou note. Good heavens, lady, calm down. At a shower, you are celebrating a milestone event in a young woman’s life. Your gift will help her during the next phase of her life. These joyous events can be stressful and require a lot of preparation. I’m sure the hostess’s intent in asking guests to perform this minor task is to ease the honoree’s responsibilities. It also ensures the addresses appear correctly on the envelopes and everyone is accounted for on the gift list. Is that really so “insulting”? “Ohio,” if you feel so imposed-upon being asked do do such a simple thing, may I offer a suggestion? Gift the honoree with your “regrets” and leave your judgmental attitude at home. (I’ll bet you count the days until you’re thanked, too.) -- GAIL IN NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS DEAR GAIL: Thank-you notes are a hot-button issue with my readers, and frankly, I am surprised more of you didn’t stick up for “Insulted.” However, I stand firm in my conviction that the more personal the thank-you note (including the envelope), the better. My newspaper readers comment: DEAR ABBY: With the advent of email, social networking and online invitation sites, mailing addresses are used less often. I’d be hard-pressed to find the street addresses of some of my closest friends and relatives. As part of the younger generation, I’m more comfortable with email. If I were hosting one of these events, I’d have to kindly ask guests to write down their addresses for me to use later for thank-yous. And because it’s being done on paper, it might as well be on the envelopes -- a practical, time-saving solution. -- JENNY IN QUEBEC, CANADA DEAR ABBY: I’m also from Ohio, and I was insulted, too.

It appalled me being asked to address my own future thankyou envelope. And would you like to know the kicker? I never received the envelope or a thank-you after the shower. -- CARLA T. DEAR ABBY: While the practice does seem a little over the top, there are creative alternatives. At a baby shower, my sisters gave everyone index cards and asked them to write down their name and address and guess the baby’s birth weight and length. The guest who came closest would be mailed a prize. It was a way to ensure I had everyone’s address for thank-you cards. At bridal showers, a blank address book can be passed around for guests to write their contact information. The book is then presented to the bride for her new home. -- MELANIE IN THE MIDWEST DEAR ABBY: To save a busy bride or mother-to-be time and effort, addressing my envelope is another “gift” I can give her. All the envelopes could then be placed in a basket, with one being drawn for the “door prize.” -- LYNN IN DULUTH, MINN. DEAR ABBY: “Insulted” could take one of her return address stickers with her to the shower and place it on the envelope provided. It’s less work. This new party ritual is not the result of poor manners, but a logical change for changing times. -- NOT A WHINER DOWN SOUTH DEAR ABBY: The personal message the gift recipient writes on the card is more important than who might have addressed the envelope it came in. -- ARLENE IN NEW YORK DEAR ABBY: Because each of my guests addressed her envelope, I finished all my thank-yous in the week after the shower and sent them out promptly. People should not complain about the punctuality of thank-yous if they refuse an opportunity to ensure they receive them in a timely manner. -- CARRIE IN ST. LOUIS

Berlin Booters crush Knights 9-0 in opener BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

WOLFEBORO -- Berlin’s Ryan Richard scored a goal and handed out four assists, leading the Mountaineers to a 9-0 drubbing of Kingswood, in a boys Division III soccer game in Wolfeboro Friday. “We came into today playing a possession game,” said head coach Craig Melanson. “The kids were very patient and created off of the ball very well. It was very warm (98 at game time) so we had to turn over kids pretty quick in order keep them fresh and it paid off.” Berlin scored four goals in the first half. At 4:31, Dimitri Giannos found the back of the net, assisted by Ryan Richard. Richard used a drop pass to the six yard line. Giannos pushed his shot to the right side for a 1-0 lead. Berlin went up 2-0 at 21:55. Senior Ethan Dorval earned his first varsity goal assisted by

Giannos. The duo worked a give and go through ball, with Dorval blasting away from ten yards out on the left side. Moments later, Jake Drouin scored assisted by Richard.

Aside from being exhausted and dehydrated the hikers were uninjured. for us on defense turning everything away that came his way. The scoring was pretty well spread out with the team, they were all very unselfish when it came to spreading it out. The last 22 minutes of the game our bench saw most of the action still pressing. Its a great way to start off the season, always room for improvement, build off of the positives and correct the weaknesses. Our approach this year is game to game. We are not going to get ahead of ourselves, when you start doing that, that’s when teams sneak up on you. We learned that last year, new year, new attitude!” The Berlin boys will travel to Farmington on Monday.

A series of community forums will be held throughout the fall to gather citizen input as to the future of Education in the Androscoggin Valley. The forums will support a facilitated discussion to address future educational needs of our children. New ideas will be generated that may help lead us to maximize collaboration among local school districts and ensure the best opportunities for our students, both now and in the future. We hope to capture a shared vision of education in the Androscoggin Valley. How do we share resources in delivering programs and nurture a new culture of collaboration? What about regionalization of our schools? Early childhood education? How do we address the shrinking student populations and dwindling financial resources in order to give our children the best education possible? In collaboration, SAU 20 and SAU 3 were awarded a grant from the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation to conduct the community forums. Citizens are encouraged to attend any and all forums in order to speak, listen and shape the future of education in the Androscoggin Valley!
