Cate Street Capital expects to meet Board financing deadline for biomass plant spends BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
BERLIN -- Cate Street Capital yesterday was in the process of closing on its financing for the 75-megawatt Berlin station biomass plant. The settlement agreement Cate Street Capital reached with the six wood-fired Independent Power Producers called for financing to be completed yesterday. Late yesterday afternoon, Company President John Halle said he expected to meet that deadline, although he said it would probably be next Monday or Tuesday before the paperwork was all done. He noted Cate Street Capital has been work-
ing on the financing for over a year. Halle said Cate Street Capital does not have to wait for the Public Utilities Commission to rule on the power purchase agreements reached between the IPPs and Public Service of N.H. Next week, he said Babcock and Wilcox will set up shop on the site in the old warehouse to get the construction phase underway. Babcock and Wilcox built the chemical recovery boiler that is being converted into a wood-fired biomass plant. The company is serving as the engineering, procurement, and construction firm for the project. see FINANCING page 6

BERLIN -- Cate Street Capital, which made an ultimately unsuccessful bid to purchase the Gorham paper mill, has an agreement to purchase two paper mills in Maine. Cate Street Capital President John Halle said his experience with the Gorham mill spurred him to take a look at the Maine mills. The Portsmouth-based company, which is developing the Berlin biomass plant, has signed an asset purchase agreement to buy the Millinocket and East Millinocket mills in the Katahdin region.

At 90, fashion’s latest pop star
(NY Times) — Her spectacles, as round as soup tureens, lend Iris Apfel a startled look. If she seems surprised, she has good reason. Apfel, the subject of a string of museum exhibitions, a coffee table book and a fashion advertising campaign, has long been a magnet to aficionados, those devotees of fashion who dote on her style — a more-is-more mix of haute couture and hippie trimmings. At 90, she finds herself on the cusp of pop stardom, an unlikely celebrity whose fame has been constructed almost entirely around her look. “I’m a geriatric starlet, my dear, don’t you know,” she said. “All of a sudden, I’m hot; I’m cool; I have a ‘fan base.’ ” Straight people, gay people, students of art and social history, tourists and chattering adolescents, “even little kids,” she noted, gravitate to her lectures, blog about her and send her mash notes. And come September, Mrs. Apfel, wearing her signature owl-shaped frames and festooned in faux amber, will exert her exotic fascination on Middle America, peddling bangles, scarves and beads of her own design on the Home Shopping Network. Apfel’s willfully disjunctive look, and the tart wit behind it, will be the subject of a movie as well, a documentary by Albert Maysles.

Floodwaters from storm isolate 13 Vermont towns
CALAIS, Vt. (NY Times) — The National Guard airlifted food, water and other supplies to hundreds of people stranded without power in towns across southern Vermont on Tuesday as crews inspected damaged bridges and tried to restore washed-out highways after the remnants of Hurricane Irene caused historic flooding in the state. W. Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was scheduled to survey the area by heli-
copter later Tuesday with Peter Shumlin, Vermont’s governor. The federal agency is also setting up a staging area to help with relief efforts in Colchester, Vt., at Camp Johnson, officials said. Federal officials said a team of doctors, nurses and other medical professionals was en route to Vermont to help supply emergency health care at hospitals and health centers. Because of the limited ground transportation options in the state, the Air National
Guard began using helicopters Tuesday to transport supplies to hundreds of residents of 13 towns isolated by floodwater since Sunday. The 13 towns are: Cavendish; Granville; Hancock; Killington; Mendon; Marlboro; Pittsfield; Plymouth; Rochester; Stockbridge; Strafford; Stratton; and Wardsboro. Most of the isolated towns have no electricity and none have potable water because floodwaters have overwhelmed sewage and water treatment plants in the area.
Germany dims nuclear plants, Exxon wins prized access to Arctic with Russia deal but hopes to keep lights on BIBLIS, Germany (NY Times) — Not since the grim period after World War II has Germany had significant blackouts, but it is now bracing for that possibility after shutting down half its nuclear reactors. Nuclear plants have long generated nearly a quarter of Germany’s electricity. But after the tsunami and earthquake that sent radiation spewing from Fukushima, half a world away, the government disconnected the 8 oldest of Germany’s 17 reactors — including the two in this drab factory town — within days.
Three months later, with a new plan to power the country without nuclear energy and a growing reliance on renewable energy, Parliament voted to close them permanently. There are plans to retire the remaining nine reactors by 2022. As a result, electricity producers are scrambling to ensure an adequate supply. Customers and companies are nervous about whether their lights and assembly lines will stay up and running this winter. Economists and politicians argue over how much prices will rise.
MOSCOW (NY Times) — Exxon Mobil won a highly coveted prize in the global petroleum industry on Tuesday by striking an agreement to explore for oil in a Russian sector of the Arctic Ocean that is opening for drilling even as Alaskan waters remain mostly off limits. The agreement seemed to supersede a similar but nowdefunct partnership that Russia’s state oil company, Rosneft, reached with BP earlier this year. The deal announced Tuesday replaces BP, the British oil giant, with its American counterpart and introduces some differences in the geopolitical bargain. Where BP had swapped stock, Exxon agrees to hand over to Rosneft unspecified assets elsewhere in the world, including some that the Texas-based company owns in the deepwater zones of the Gulf of Mexico and onshore in Texas.

And now, the Irene cleanup begins
THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Wednesday, August 31, 2011— Page 3
BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
GLEN — If Monday was about assessing the damage Irene inflicted, then Tuesday was about the cleanup, particularly for those who found themselves in the river’s path. “There’s not much we can do until it dries out,” Lynn Roberts said as he sat in his driveway Tuesday morning. The pastor from his church, Bill Rose, pushed mud from the pavement with a snow shovel, but there was still six inches coating the garage floor. The back yard was flooded, and cord wood was scattered around the yard. “Probably half of it’s down in Fryeburg Harbor,” Roberts said. A generator roared outside a basement window, powering a sump pump that was working desperately to drain the house. The floors were coated with a layer of silt, and the line on the wall made it clear where the water rose to on Sunday. “It was a good house,” Charlotte Linde, Roberts’ partner, said, emphasizing the word “was.” “It really uprooted things. It took the beds right off the frames.” Their house, roughly a mile from Rocky Branch, is a short walk from the Bartlett Fire Station, which was turned into a shelter during the storm. “Who would ever believe a flood would happen here?” Linde said. But it did. The river jumped its banks and went down the path of least resistance: Route 302. Roberts was home when it happened. “I went up to check the river,” he said, “and it was high, but not as high as it should have been.” He figured out it must have jumped the bank somewhere, so he rushed home, grabbed his generator and his car and moved them to higher ground. “I stayed here and watched the devastation.” Route 302 had five feet of water on it, he said. If it weren’t for a portion of the railroad tracks giving way, the water would have climbed onto his kitchen counters. But instead of lamenting their loss, Roberts and Linde were celebrating their community as they made plans for the future. “It’s hard for us to accept a helping hand,” Roberts said, but neighbors have stepped forward. “We appreciate the people. They just keep coming.” Someone tucked a $100 bill into his pocket at the store, he said, and the Red Parka Pub and other restaurants had given him more food than he could eat for the last few days. “I was born at Grant’s store,” he said. “I’m a life-long resident of Glen village,” but before this he never knew what an extraordinary community they were a part of. And they will likely need that community. “We have household insurance like everyone does,” Linde said, but they don’t have flood insurance. They weren’t near a river, she said, so they didn’t think they needed it.

So how much will their insurance cover? “Nothing,” Roberts said. “Nothing.” “We don’t need this,” he said, waving a hand toward his flooded property. “It’s a hardship.” At first they considered leaving, he said, just abandoning the property, but “we got over that.” “There are people in this town in worse shape than me,” he said. “We should be back in that house in a couple weeks.” But not everyone was so lucky. Conway fire chief Steve Solomon said between 70 and 80 homes were damaged or destroyed in the storm, along with several businesses. People need to call the state, he said, to report damages and push for federal disaster assistance. “We are working from the local level to help them out,” he said, “but they also need to call 211. This is a line set up by the state for damage reporting.” “This will aid us in pushing for FEMA assistance,” he said, referring to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. “There is a group of organizations that assist with disaster recovery that can be triggered to respond. It is generally done by the number of calls to 211 from an area, so we need each property owner that suffered damage, either by water, or a tree falling on a building, or, in the case of the campgrounds, economic loss and debris cleanup.” The towns, meanwhile, are putting things back in place. Route 302 in Glen is patched, as is River Road in North Conway. The state, however, is facing its own challenges. Department of Transportation spokesman Bill
Boynton had no estimates for when either Route 302 of the Kancamagus Highway would open or how much the work would cost. The Kanc had seven or eight major washouts, he said. Route 302 had two or three, plus serious damage at the Sawyer River bridge. “We know it’s a main east-west highway,” he said, so DOT is trying to come up with a temporary solution, “but it’s not an easy fix.” Even the federal government has its hands full in some places. “The White Mountain National Forest has been responding to reports and assessing damage across the forest,” U.S. Forest Service public affairs officer Tiffany Benna said in a statement. “Our focus is on safety and moving to recovery to get the forest fully open as safely and quickly as we can, however this may take time. Currently, we have assessed about 40 percent of major roads and developed sites.” The national forest reopened Tuesday, Benna said, but, "Visitors are strongly encouraged to wait a few more days before coming to recreate.” But the warning didn’t stop two camp owners from hiking up the logging roads along Rocky Branch Monday night to see what, if anything, they had lost. One owner lost an outhouse and a shed, but the camps themselves were still there. On Jericho Road a man cleared mud from a friend’s driveway of a house where the water rose to more than a foot above the kitchen counter. The house reeked of mildew. Next door was a mobile home a neighbor said the water pushed from its foundation. A Jeep sat inundated
in the driveway. Across Route 302 on Tuesday, Cindi Swan was cleaning the mud out of her house. She, like Roberts and Linde, was upbeat despite the damage. “With people like this,” she said, motioning to two young women mopping the floor with a dustpan and a towel, “we’re fine.” Her house is on Sleepy Hollow, right next to Rocky Branch. She was home when things got bad. “It was a matter of four minutes,” she said. “Just long enough to grab what animals we could.” Water blasted through her house, ripping out all the duct work and destroying her appliances. She had never seen flooding like that before, she said, and “I’m 54 years old.” “The last time I remember it being this bad was 1947,” said John Patch, who also lives on Sleepy Hollow. He spent the night in a camper on his property. Around 10:30 p.m. Sunday he opened the door to see what things looked like, and the water started rushing in. He slammed the door shut. “It destroyed everything,” he said. His ATV got flipped upside-down and buried. He said the tires were the only thing visible. Swan said Story Land came through with a place for her to sleep, and now she has to figure out how to rebuild. They don’t have any money, she said, “we’re both on disability,” and though they have flood insurance the company won’t give them any money up front for repairs. Still, she too is positive about her situation. “Water drains out,” she said. “How can you mourn material things?”

Tis the American way, get used to it! To the editor: Unlike one unnamed outraged shrill writer, “bug in his ear” screaming, selfindulgent, repeat writer who is allowed endless ink to vent his venomous misdirected rage of rant-n-raves bi-monthly at female SUN staffers, I don’t care who purloined a staple, had an office affair! Who really cares? This “bee in his bonnet” griper has no ethical legs to stand on. You see, sir, a higher standard of conduct is exacted of our politicians. We demand our leaders be exemplary. Ta Da! I had problems at CAP with the councilwoman currently in the “hot seat”. I wrote the director and the mistreatment ceased. The Supreme Court permits our elected reps to be severely critiqued and their record attacked along with all other public officials. Their peccadilloes not sacrosanct what-so-ever. If your life isn’t an open book don’t run for office. If you have nothing to hide one welcomes any scrutiny. We
have the duty and privilege to bring their past to light of day and run them out of office. Tis the American way, get used to it! Crimes committed at 25 aren’t “indiscretions of youth”. The people voted, in any era, the bunch in as the best. The community can produce which speaks for itself. I boycott local elections as long as mean, nasty, ignorant, anti-business attitudes abound down on anything I’ve tried to bring to town! But while we’re at it, SUN please use spell check and type as given not reinterpret my wordings into your own regional mindset. If you have question, can’t read it, call me. Some letters of mine appear with half dozen slaughter jobs in print totally altering meaning and intent. Next day readers around town are snickering, giving me weird looks thinking I wrote those misplaced, omitted, altered words! No way! George Stanley - 348-5137 Berlin

That Was The Storm That Was
The hurricane on Sunday was - er - interesting. While the wind was fierce and the rain torrential, it fell a little bit short of a really memorable storm. In fact, having experienced several hurricanes through the years, only two, really, stick in my mind as having been the kind of experience that really stays with you in memory. One of those was Carol in 1954. Carol came into the Boston area, where I lived, like a lion, blew strong and hard for hours, and left the place in a complete shambles for days. I lived in Andover then and worked out of a dry cleaning place in Winchester, Mass. The wind was coming in hard that morning as I went to work, just as had been forecasted. After I got to work, I suggested to the boss that I head back home as the weather would just keep getting worse and doing business would just keep getting more difficult. He would hear none of my protests and sent me out on my regular rounds. I was driving a small Ford panel truck and as the wind hit the flat sides of the truck they would act like a sail and make it really difficult to keep it on the road. After a couple of hours of battling the wind, the rain and, more and more, blocked streets where downed trees made many detours necessary, I decided to give it up for the day and head back to the shop. Given the difficulty of traveling on blocked streets, I decided to take Route 128 from Reading to Winchester where the shop was located. My reasoning was the Route 128 was an open, divided highway and, while it would be difficult to steer straight, I would encounter no downed trees and snarled traffic. Wrong! As soon as I hit the highway, I knew I was in Trouble. When the wind got at those flat panels, steering the truck was nearly impossible. While there were very few other vehicles to contend with, getting to the next exit became a real test of will and strength. I finally made it off of 128 and got back to
the shop in one piece. The boss didn’t believe a word I said about how difficult it had been, but I was through for the day, at least. Not long after that I left that job with no regrets. While Hurricane Carol in 1954 was bad, the hurricane of 1938 has lived the longest in my memory. I was ten and lived with my family at 136 Park St. in North Reading, Mass. There had been no warning of the storm so we were unprepared, both mentally and physically, to have such a powerful storm sweep in and rule the world for hours. My Dad, who was the Postmaster in town, and I battled that storm as best we could but to little avail. We lived in a big, old Victorian style house in North Reading Center. There were large, mature Elm trees on our lot. One came down with a mighty crash at the height of the storm, and that scared the be-devil out of us.
Dad and I worked hard to save the small barn attached to the back of the house. The wind was blowing the barn door out nearly horizontal. Dad manage to attach a rope to the bottom of the door and we tried to haul it back in and tie it off. One mighty gust blew the door out as we hauled against it. That put a real scare into us. We let go of the rope, and the door sailed out into the driveway and crashed. With the wind blowing mightily and the rain falling in buckets some of the shingles came loose. We had buckets around trying to catch the leaking water and save the interior. My Dad, my Mom and my sister Dorothy were kept busy emptying those buckets. We did OK and the interior damage was held to a minimum. Finally, after many hours, the wind died down, the rain stopped and we were left, as were millions of others, to pick up the pieces and put our lives back together. That was 73 years ago, but the memory is still green!
Brown School playground fund needs your vote BERLIN -- Participants from the K&S fitness classes and the OR staff at AVH filmed a video recently that they are hoping will win $5000 for the Brown School Playground fund. They filmed the video under the direction of Dr. Stephanie Allen Lilly, general surgeon at AVH and Zumba fitness instructor. The video is currently on Facebook.com/zumba. If the video gets enough popular votes to be in the top 10 videos it will move onto the final stage of judging during which Beto Perez (founder of Zumba) and Pitbull (artist of the song Pause) will personally declare a winner. Zumba is a Latin inspired dance fitness. The premise of the competition was to film a Zumba video doing the moves to the Pitbull song “Pause”. The participants are supposed to “Pause” what they are doing at their place of work and perform the Zumba moves. This video takes place in the AVH operating rooms where the staff is undergoing their daily routine of operations and procedures. The Pause song stops them in their tracks and compels them to dance. The dance moves throughout the OR picking up patients, doctors, and nurses alike until all have joined in the song. It is a very entertaining video and features 27 volunteers from the community. Please check it out and vote for your community and for the Brown School Playground fund to get the best chance they can to win. The Brown School playground is at least 20 years old. The wood-made playground is starting to splinter and rot and is posing a hazard to the
children. This playground is not only open to the Brown School Elementary children but also to the community to use. It is estimated it will take $50,000 to replace. It is free to vote and ways to vote include going to https://apps.facebook. com/promosapp/163636/entry/187935 which will bring up the video to vote. Or you can go to facebook.com/zumba and follow the links to the contest and search “AVH Operating Room” and that should pull up the video. The video will probably need 700-1000 votes to make the top ten. Please feel free to Facebook questions through the Brown School Playground page or the K&S fitness page. We are confident our community will come through for us and for Brown School and give us a shot at the final judging. Any other monetary donations to Brown School can be dropped off or mailed to Brown School, 190 Norway St, Berlin, NH 03570. ATTN: Parents for Playground fund (checks payable to Brown School Playground fund). Participants of the video include: Stephanie Allen Lilly, Kim Poulin, Sue Martin, Rodger Wood, Andri Olafsson, Lisa Picard, Lind Arsenault, Brenda Lamarque, Doreen Thomas, Rachel Shute, Sandy Tanguay, Sue Dumesnil, Amy Huter, Pauline Costa, Katie Fitch, Joy Burill, Barbara Poulin, Lucie Vallee, Misty Labonte, Dillon Labonte, April Alonzo, Caroline Wood, Laura Langevin, Janet Aubut, Diane Marshall, Diane Gilbert and Erica Morin.

Licensed Plus status earned by Lancaster Play and Learn Center
LANCASTER-- Lancaster Play and Learn Center is the latest Coös County child care center to join the ranks of those earning “Licensed Plus” status. Amy Graham is the director of the not-for-profit business which employs 7 full time and 3 part time staff. “I’m proud of my staff,” says Graham, “They’re attending workshops, earning credentials, and some are taking college courses.” The Child Development Bureau recently informed Graham that her center, which is licensed for a maximum of 49 children, earned this quality rating. Licensed Plus is a New Hampshire quality rating system that recognizes child care programs for their efforts to improve the quality of care for young children. It allows families to identify programs that strive to improve their practices and staff qualifications with the goal of improving the quality of care that they deliver to children. Ms. Graham was assisted in her efforts by the Early Childhood Initiative at White Mountains Community College (WMCC) in Berlin. Lancaster Play and Learn Center is one of ten child care centers represented in the Director Network, a collaborative group of directors who meet monthly to share their expertise and learn new and innovative processes for improving their work. Ms. Graham attended the early childhood field’s annual professional development conference in Phoenix, Arizona last year, sponsored by the National Association for the Education for Young Children (NAEYC). She has since been an attendee of the Leadership Institute in Whitefield, the NHAEYC conference in Plymouth, and many other local trainings and workshops focused on improving early childhood settings. She is the mother of two children and resides in Lancaster. BASS from page 4

“The Director Network is about growing quality over time,” said Sue Cloutier, director of the Gorham Community learning Center, “and Amy is doing a fabulous job moving her center forward.” Currently, New Hampshire has 134 Licensed Plus centers. To be eligible to apply for Licensed Plus, a program must be a NH licensed child care program in good standing. Programs must demonstrate compliance with a minimum of sixteen additional quality standards and submit an application. These required elements include specific professional development activities for the director and staff, additional policies and procedures, and evidence of reflective practices.

AGREEMENT from page one
That deal also fell through this spring. “When Millinocket came available, I decided to look at it more carefully,” Halle said. According to a press release issued by LaPage, state officials and Brookfield Asset Management worked with several potential buyers in recent months before finalizing the deal with Cate Street Capital. All parties emphasized there is still some work to be done before the deal is finalized. Halle said he is very hopeful his company will succeed in buying the mills. The Millinocket paper mill employed about 150 people when it closed in September 2008. The East Millinocket is an integrated pulp and paper mill that employed 450 people when it closed in April. Halle said the two Maine mills produce newsprint and will not compete with the Gorham mill which currently produces towels and paper. Gorham Paper and Tissue is in the process of purchasing a tissue machine for the facility.

agreement. In addition, PUC staffers Thomas Frantz and F. Anne Ross were also involved in the negotiations on behalf of the state. Frantz filed a petition supporting the agreement. Therefore, the PUC has designated the pair as staff advocates. Letters in support of the settlement agreement have been filed by the state’s Executive Council, Gov. John Lynch, and state Senators John Gallus (R-Berlin), Lou D’Allesandro, (D-Manchester) and Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith). In its letter, the executive council said it believes the power and settlement agreements are in the best interest of the state and urges the PUC to approve them without delay. “The Power Purchase Agreements will maintain the operations of the wood IPPS at a time of uncertainty in the national energy market... The power contracts submitted to the commission are also part of a larger agreement that will allow the Berlin BioPower Project to go forward, which will bring needed jobs, renewable power, and economic development for Coos County.” In his letter, Senator Gallus said that without the power purchase agreements, the Bridgewater, Pintree-Bethlehem, Tamworth, and Indeck-Alexandria biomass plants are in “grave danger” of being shut down.
was announced yesterday by Maine Gov. Paul LaPage. Last winter, New Hampshire officials asked Cate Street Capital to take a look at the vacant Gorham mill because of its plan to construct a biomass plant on the former pulp mill property in Berlin. Cate Street Capital ended up reaching an agreement in February to purchase the Gorham mill from Counsel R.B. Capital. “We has an interest in Gorham because we had an interest in the region,” said Halle. But the deal broke down before it could be finalized and the mill was sold in May to Patriarch Papers. Through his company’s efforts to purchase the Gorham mill, however, Halle said he got to understand the paper business better. At the about the same time Cate Street Capital was looking at the Gorham mill, the San Francisco investment group, Meriturn Partners, announced an agreement to purchase the two Maine mills from Brookfield Asset Management.
Halle said demolition work on the site is complete “It’s ready to go,” he said. The construction period is expected to take just over 24 months and require over 300 workers at its peak. Five of the six smaller biomass plants received short-term power purchase agreements with PSNH as part of the settlement. In exchange, the six plants agreed to drop their Supreme Court appeal of the PUC order approving the 20-year power purchase agreement between Berlin Station and PSNH. That withdrawal is being held in escrow but Halle said the settlement agreement is final as long as Cate Street Capital closes on its financing. The PUC has set a pre hearing conference for Friday, Sept. 9 on the power purchase and settlement agreements between PSNH and the IPPs. A technical session will flow the hearing. Any party wishing to intervene in the process must file by Sept. 6. PUC Commissioner Amy Ignatius has disqualified herself from sitting on the case because her husband, Jeffrey Meyers, is Gov. Lynch’s legal counsel and was involved in the negotiations that lead to the settlement. That leaves Commissioners Thomas Getz and Clifton Below to rule on the

DEBATING from page one
had trouble reaching a consensus on whether they felt the application truly was for a minor lot line adjustment as it said, or instead would qualify as a minor subdivision. Despite assurances by Losier’s surveyor, Burke York, that the application truly was for a lot line adjustment, the inclusion of a roadway redesign with the lot adjustments led some to assert it fit the subdivision definition better. A vote to approve the minor lot line adjustment at the close of that meeting fell short with just two board members voting in favor, but no vote was taken to deny the adjustment. Instead the board agreed to get their questions clarified by the town’s attorney and reconvene on August 25. When the board reconvened last week, it wasn’t without substantial controversy. In the time between the two hearings, Losier had drafted a letter to the town manager asking for her intervention and the recusal of board chairman Mike Waddell and selectman representative Paul Robitaille. In his letter, Losier, who is also a member of the Planning Board, contended that the two were discriminating against his family by opposing his application. He also prepared a second letter, reiterating many of his points from the first letter, for distribution to the board prior to their meeting, which was not allowed. The board received the letter during open session instead. The letter writing continued on the opposite side of the table as well, with Waddell crafting a pointby-point response to Losier’s complaints. He also told the Planning Board that he was reluctant to continue the hearing in case Losier had opened the door for Superior Court challenge to any decision they made. Town Manager, Robin Frost, who was present at the hearing, assured the board that any recusals are voluntary on the part of the board members and have to be requested prior to the start of any hearing. Therefore, Losier’s request came too late and the board members themselves had the power of recusal. Many board members spoke for their fellows noting that they had seen no
vindictive or petty motives in their experience on the board, and that it was common for disagreements among the members to happen. Earl McGillicuddy noted that there have been a few troubled subdivisions in town so he found it prudent to proceed cautiously when applications like these came up. Losier pointed out that he had not meant for things to get as personal as they did, but noted that in his 13 year involvement with the Planning Board he never saw a minor lot line application get denied. He said he had meant for his letters to come before the board to get a better take on whether he was seeing the situation the same way they were, but Waddell disagreed saying the matter went beyond friendly conversation when Losier included the press and local politicians on his mailing list. In the spirit of cooperation, McGillicuddy suggested the only way forward was to make lawyers rich or the board could go ahead and hear the case. “Chuck the letters and start over,” he said. Losier agreed to withdraw the statements made in his letters, but when asked to rescind his rebuttal by board member Mike Guay, Waddell refused. Despite the personality conflicts, the board finally got to the issue of whether they should be rehearing the case or if they should be continuing the prior hearing. With the town attorney unable to be present to answer questions due to a family emergency, and no one clear on what the final vote at the prior meeting was actually for, the board agreed to bring the case back for continuance on Sept. 8. Prior to the close of the meeting Losier addressed the board, noting that the purpose of the lot line adjustment is to allow his daughter Joele to sell her home, which has an interested buyer. “It’s been six years of horror for her, delay after delay,” he said. Without the line adjustment the sale is in jeopardy, he explained. Waddell responded that speaking for himself, if the lot line adjustment map had been submitted without road changes, he’d agree. “If all we were dealing with was moving lines, we’d be done,” Waddell said.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams
DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have an extraordinary connection with another person. You are bonded in intangible ways that cannot be detected by your five senses or understood from a worldly perspective. This is a sublime union of spirits. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just because you show up at the designated hour doesn’t mean you’re on time. Sometimes the action starts later and sometimes much earlier. Trust your internal sense of timing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You were once highly motivated to complete a job, and now it seems you need constant supervision in order to stay on course. It’s a sign that you need new influences and a good excuse to go out and seek inspiration. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A beautiful object can pass as ordinary or even ugly when it’s found in certain conditions. You have the artist’s eye. You will pluck out the object of beauty and return it to its rightful place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is little to be gained from bending over backward to please someone now, especially if what this person really wants is a challenge. Find your edge. You’re going to need it to be smart and wise. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 31). Clever and industrious, you’ll have fun creating opportunity. You’ll conserve resources and find great success recycling old items and ideas. October features social visits and information sharing. December brings a notable purchase. Bold self-expression will be your trademark in 2012. Gemini and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 10, 32, 4 and 46.
by Darby Conley
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are the target of someone’s affection, though you are too immersed in your own needs, desires and wants to notice. This person adores you despite this fact -- or perhaps because of it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you are too enmeshed in another person’s business, it becomes difficult to be yourself. You’ll find ways to contain another person’s influence over you so that you can peacefully and powerfully coexist. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may feel like you’ve been caught in a storm. This is an opportunity to see who your true friends are. Fair-weather friends back away at the first thunderclap. True friends rush to your side with an umbrella. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Though you love to take care of others, do not do this to such an extent that they forget how to take care of themselves. They’ll only resent you for it later. Respect each person’s need for autonomy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are activities that you can’t really get out of doing, and yet you would rather spend less time on them. You’ll meet just the helpful person to help you remedy the situation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are versatile and flexible. You’ll jump at the chance to do the job that is needed most, even when you’re not so sure you can pull it off. You learn all you need to know en route. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Do not give away your attention too easily, or it won’t be valued for the precious commodity it is. Singles: Anyone who hasn’t committed to you does not warrant your exclusive attention.

SWIMMER WHO ‘LOSES’ TRUNKS MUST LEARN TO COOL HIS JETS
DEAR ABBY: After a messy divorce, I moved with my 17-year-old daughter “Allie” to Florida. I’m thrilled that she has adjusted so quickly to the lifestyle here, which revolves around the beach and backyard swimming pools. Allie now has a boyfriend, “Shane,” who is 19 and in college. I like him, and it appears he likes me too -- maybe a little too much. Shane lives with his parents down the street, and he’s often at our house when he and Allie aren’t in school. Because I work at home and my office is adjacent to the pool, I can’t seem to escape him. When Allie is doing her homework or talking on the phone, Shane swims alone and does a fair amount of “preening.” I have the feeling he does it to gain my attention. The other day, after jumping in the pool, he surfaced without his swim trunks and said the pool jets had ripped them off him. Then he got out of the pool and put them back on in front of me. When I told him I found the situation embarrassing, he shrugged and smiled, leaving me feeling awkward. Being from the Midwest, I’m used to people behaving and dressing more modestly. Here, it seems like anything goes, and the skimpier the clothing, the better. Am I a prude, or should I listen to my instincts that something is not right? And what do I say to Shane that will allow me to keep my dignity? -- TAKEN ABACK IN TAMPA DEAR TAKEN ABACK: The pool jets did not rip the trunks off your daughter’s boyfriend. It appears she is involved with an exhibitionist. If it happens again, tell him you find what he’s doing to be disrespectful and offensive, and if he wants to parade his shortcomings at his own home that’s his privilege, but at yours his pants should stay on at all times -- or you’ll tell his mother. Shame on Shane.
DEAR ABBY: I have been through a lot and have never given up. Lately, however, I am having second thoughts. Everyone in my family is an addict or a recovering one. I left my ex-husband because of his drinking. My son has been in rehab and relapsed many times. I have gone through every last financial and emotional option with him. At this point, I’m feeling like all hope is gone. I’m writing to you because I am trying to find some thread of life to help me understand why bad things keep happening to me. How do I squeeze out one last drop of hope when my cup of faith is empty? I want to find a purpose to all the pain. -- STRUGGLING FOR ANSWERS, PARK CITY, UTAH DEAR STRUGGLING: Volumes have been written by authors and philosophers trying to explain why bad things happen to good people. In your case, it appears you were born into a family with a genetic predisposition to addiction. Because the behavior of people with substance abuse problems was familiar to you, you married another one. While I appreciate your desire to help your son, for your own mental health, please accept that the battle to free himself from addiction is his and his alone. You can’t conquer it for him, much as you might hope to. If you haven’t already done so, attend some meetings of support groups for families and friends of people who have addictions. There you will find others who are helping one another through the same issues you are encountering. Such groups are listed in your phone directory and on the Internet. Believe me, you are not alone in your search for answers. TO MY MUSLIM READERS: A happy Eid al-Fitr, one and all!

Selectmen decide nets to solve Gorham’s baseball issues BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
GORHAM — Nets will be installed along the baseball field on the Gorham Common to help prevent damage and accidents from foul balls. That was the solution agreed upon by the selectmen at their Aug. 15 meeting. Town Manager Robin Frost said that she had met with SAU 20 Superintendent Paul Bousquet as well as legal and insurance representatives and the group determined that the third base line along Route 16 presented the biggest exposure problem for any fall balls
causing damage. A netting along that exposure could help eliminate balls in the roadway during both baseball and soccer games, she told the selectmen. Although the group’s recommended solution addressed only the third base line, the board stressed the need to explore netting along the first base line as well, since there was the potential for damage to property on Park Street. The most recent damage, in fact, had been to a vehicle of Park Street resident Don Provencher, whose dogged pursuit of the issue had resulted in the board recently looking into the problem.

Frost explained that PSNH would not allow for netting any higher than what exists on the first base line, but the board said that the netting designed previously suggested would include netting that extended further over the field and not higher. Board chairman Terry Oliver noted that he would rather see the town put its energies toward netting than opening the town up to any liability by exploring the possibilities of paying for damage. Provencher had requested that the town or school pay for the damage to his vehicle but both declined. Selectman David Graham said he
was disappointed the recommendation included only third base netting. He suggested the board revisit implementing a requirement that groups wanting to use the common provide proof of insurance. Frost countered with the explanation that such a requirement would make little difference in the case of the school since they are insured, but are statutorily exempt — as is the town — from liability in these cases. Frost said plans for the third base netting is in the works, while the logistics and feasibility of netting along the first base side will be more involved.

Riverside Speedway announces revised schedule for the remainder of 2011 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
GROVETON -- Riverside Speedway management is pleased to announce that the speedway was very fortunate and may have dodged a huge obstacle with the recent hurricane that struck the Northeast. “We prepared for the worst and I think we got very lucky,” said General manager Jean LeBlanc. “I know that our neighboring speedways took it really hard and we can certainly relate to what they have to go through. All we can do is offer our hand and if they need help, we are going to do what ever we can to get them back underway.” The Riverside management team got together and revised their final race dates to maximize its point races. “Because of the numerous rain dates that we endured this season, we have changed some of our final races, to give our race teams a chance in their individual point races,” said LeBlanc. “We wanted to give our racers at least two more point nights and we were able to accomplish that with our final four events. Special thanks go out to White Mountain Distributors and Budweiser, to help us in doing this.” Riverside Speedway will have a huge night when the racing resumes on Saturday September 10th. “It will be a fan appreciation night, where two adults can get in for the price of one,” stated LeBlanc. “We are running triple 25 lap features for the ladies, the third segments of their triple crown racing series for both the Street Stocks and the Cyclones, the Outlaw/ Sportsman, Dwarfs, and Daredevils.“ Racing action begins at 4 p.m. On Saturday September 17th, it will be the second running of the Johnny Clark Memorial 101, with ACT Tiger/ Sportsman Tour invading the high banks. On the Riverside card, it will be Late Models, Dwarf Cars, Angels, Street Stocks, Daredevils, and the champion will be crowned for the Jiffy Mart Cyclones. Racing starts at 1 PM. That will conclude the September portion of the Riverside schedule, as teams will get a couple of weeks off to prepare for the final two events of the season in October. “Our “Fall Free for All” will definitely have a little twist for our racers,” said LeBlanc. “It will be the final point

events for our Late Models and Street Stocks. We usually get a few teams that come and take part in the “Fall Free for All”. Those drivers will not be considered in the point rankings, if they haven’t raced in more than three events. The LMS (50) and Streets (30) will have just two features and will have their field inverted for the second race. The driver that accumulates the fewest points will be the winner. In keeping with tradition, we will have our big trophy race for the kids and have included an open race for our Super Stocks. Hopefully we can draw in racers from both WMMP and Caanan.” The Speedway will close out 2011 with the granddaddy of them all, the Frost Bite 250 on Saturday October 15, beginning at 1 p.m. This event has caught on so well over the last couple of years, that the speedway has already received calls from drivers to reserve their car numbers. “What a way to end 2011,” said LeBlanc. “We are crowning our champions in the Outlaw, Dwarf, and Angel divisions. We have received some phone calls from some Sportsman drivers in Maine, that want to take part in that event. They have friends coming for the enduro 250 event, so we will make it a $750 to win 75 lap Outlaw race, culminating with the crowning of our 2011 champion. It is shaping up to be a sensational final four events at Riverside Speedway.” For applications for the up-coming Frost Bite 250, you can go to the speedway’s web site at www.riversidespeedway .org.
