First forum favors consolidating educational efforts in valley BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- The first in a series of forums on the future of education in the Androscoggin Valley unanimously supported consolidating educational efforts in the valley. In a straw poll taken at the end of the forum Wednesday, none of the crowd of approximately 70 people raised their hand in support of doing nothing or maintaining the current status of two sepa-

rate SAUs and some sharing of services. The largest show of hands by far was for combining SAU 3 and SAU 20 into a single supervisory administrative unit and consolidating the middle and high schools. Under that option, the elementary schools would not be consolidated but would remain as they currently are. There would also be separate school boards. Just over half of those in attendance favored this option. The next most popular option was maintaining the current status quo of two SAUs but consoli-

dating Berlin and Gorham High Schools. Another popular option was to form a study group to look at consolidation. The forum at Berlin High was the first in a series of six that will be held throughout the valley over the next two weeks. Two forums are scheduled for next week - Wednesday, Sept. 21 at the Randolph town hall and Thursday, Sept. 22 at the Milan School library. Both start at 7 p.m. A grant from the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund see FORUM page 6

Historical Society plans Maynesboro AVH local mom work together for lifesaving testing for newborns Stud Centennial Celebration BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM — The activism of a local mom, combined with some good timing, is changing the local medical landscape for newborns. Jen Lemoine of Gorham has been advocating for hospitals to implement a simple painless test to newborns that can help detect congenital heart disease in many cases. As a result of her efforts, and with the help of local pediatricians, Dr. Brian Beals who practices in Gorham and Dr. Rich Laracy who practices in Conway, Androscoggin Valley Hospital implemented the testing at the beginning of September and Memorial Hospital anticipates implementation within the month.

BERLIN -- In 1912, W.R. Brown imported 33 Arabian horses to the United States and established his Maynesboro Stud Farm off the East Milan Road at the larger of the two Brown Company barns. The Berlin and Coos County Historical Society is planning to recognize the 100th anniversary of the event with a centennial celebration from Sept. 13-16, 2012. Historical Society Vice President Walter Nadeau this week briefed the city council on his organization’s plans and received its enthusiastic endorsement. From the original 33 horses, Nadeau said Brown developed a lineage that

is still recognized in the horse world today. As President of the Arabian Horse Registry, Brown in 1919 organized the first Cavalry Endurance Ride to determine the best breed of horse for long distances. Brown’s horses took first place in the ride three of the five years between 1919 and 1923. Brown eventually had to sell his stud farm in the 1940’s to save the paper mill. Nadeau said the historical society plans for the centennial call for hosting three to five recognized endurance rides over a three to five day period with distances up to 50 miles. He said the society is hoping to have access to the ATV trails in Jericho Mountain State Park, the state Rail to Trails system, and some of the former Brown see CENTENNIAL page 15

Cedar Pond chapel up for sale BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

MILAN - Founded in 1944, the St. Antoine de Padoue Chapel at Cedar Pond has been put on the market. Church services have not been held at the chapel since 2002. Cedar Lake Catholic Association President Marcel Nadeau said the association’s board of directors have reluctantly decided to sell the lakefront property. He said property taxes and maintenance of the property have become too costly. The association purchased the Le Club des Montagne Blanche building and property on the lake at its first

meeting in 1944. The following year the association completed renovations of the new chapel, complete with bell and belfry, all with volunteer labor. “At the time it was awesome,” said Nadeau. The chapel was enlarged in 1959 and the association purchased additional land that same year and again in 1968. Church services used to be held at the chapel every Saturday night and Sunday morning during the summer months. Nadeau said area priests would commit to conducting the weekly services.

NASA finds planet orbiting two stars (NY Time) — From double sunrise to double sunset the show goes on, always changing. Sometimes the orange sun rises first. Sometimes it is the red one, although they are never far apart in the sky and you can see them moving past each other, casting double shadows across the firmament and periodically crossing right in front of each other. Such is life, if it were possible, on the latest addition to the pantheon of weird planets now known to exist outside the bounds of our own solar system. It is the first planet, astronomers say, that has been definitely shown to be orbiting two stars at once, circling at a distance of 65 million miles a pair of stars that are themselves circling each other much more closely. A team of astronomers using NASA’s Kepler planet-hunting spacecraft announced the discovery on Thursday in a paper published online in the journal Science, in a talk at a conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo., and in a news conference at NASA’s Ames Research Laboratory in Mountain View, Calif., Kepler’s headquarters. The official name of the planet is Kepler 16b, but astronomers are already referring to it informally as Tatooine, after the home planet of Luke and Anakin Skywalker in the “Star Wars” movies, which also had two suns.

Egypt sentences Mubarak-era tycoon to prison

CAIRO (NY Times) — An Egyptian criminal court sentenced the steel tycoon and former political power broker Ahmed Ezz to 10 years in prison and fined him the equivalent of about $11 million for corruption on Thursday, satisfying one of the most visceral demands of the revolution that toppled President Hosni Mubarak. To many, Ezz personified more than anyone else the political and economic

corruption under Mubarak that enriched the politically connected few, leaving most Egyptians to sink deeper into poverty. The court also sentenced two less notorious Mubarak-era figures. The former minister of commerce, Rachid Mohamed Rachid, once considered a force for reform and clean government, was sentenced in absentia to 15 years in prison and a $230 million fine for helping Ezz obtain permits for his steel empire with required legal

fees or public auctions — a more serious sentence perhaps reflecting the prominent public role he was convicted of abusing. It was the third sentence in absentia issued against Rachid, for a total of 35 years in prison. He left the country before Mubarak’s fall but has said he did nothing wrong. The state-owned newspaper Al Ahram reported last week that the Ministry of Interior had located Rachid in Qatar and was seeking his extradition.

Central banks act in concert Immigration advocates to ease fears on Europe debt split over Arizona boycott FRANKFURT (NY Times) — Worried that Europe’s debt impasse posed a growing threat to the global economy, the world’s major central banks moved Thursday to assure investors that European banks would not run short of American dollars, as they nearly did at the height of the 2008 financial crisis. The banks, in a coordinated action intended to restore market confidence, agreed to pump dollars into the European banking system in the first such show of

force in more than a year. The move, coming almost exactly three years after the collapse of the investment bank Lehman Brothers, sharply increased the value of shares in banks heavily exposed to debt from Greece and the other struggling members of the 17-nation euro zone. The euro, which had been falling in recent days, rebounded, rising roughly 1 percent in European trading Thursday. But whether the central bank action would provide lasting relief remained to be seen.

PHOENIX (NY Times) — The boycott of Arizona is on. No, the boycott of Arizona is off. Deciding whether to visit this state, which may or may not be boycotted, is as disorienting process. After Arizona’s passage of controversial immigration legislation in April 2010, musicians canceled Arizona concerts, tourists canceled Arizona vacations and convention organizers bypassed Arizona in favor of less politically toxic states. But the very activists who put the boycott in place, hurting the state’s pocketbook in the process, are now divided over whether it ought to continue. Some called for the boycott’s end last year, after a federal judge blocked the most contentious elements of the immigration law. Others have peeled off more recently, with the National Council of La Raza, a Latino advocacy group, announcing last week that it no longer backed the boycott. Other activists have dug in their heels, insisting that Arizona ought to remain off limits for the foreseeable future.

Governor Lynch announces he won’t seek a fifth term BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

Saying it was an honor to serve the people of New Hampshire for the last seven years, Gov. John Lynch announced Thursday morning he will not be seeking an unprecedented fifth term. Lynch, who still has 16 months remaining on his record-setting fourth term, made the announcement with First Lady Dr. Susan Lynch, staff and a classroom of fourth grade students by his side at Northwest Elementary School in Manchester. It was a fitting place, given he resigned as chairman of the state university system trustees to run for governor in 2004. Lynch, 58, and his wife have three children, Jacqueline, Julia and Hayden. Lynch actually touched on the fourth graders at the beginning of his announcement. "One of my favorite things to do as governor is to meet with the fourth grade students who tour the State House as part of their New Hampshire history lessons," he said. "I'll step out of just about any meeting for a chance to talk with - and listen to — fourth graders. I find those conversations more energizing than all the cups of coffee in the world. By talking to the students, I learn what is on their minds, and what is on the minds of their parents. I hear from their perspective about what's going on in New Hampshire — and where our families may need our help. "Those visits are also an important reminder about what the job of governor is and should be about: Making sure these fourth graders, their families and all the people of New Hampshire have the opportunities they deserve for great lives," Lynch continued. "That is why I am working as hard as I can to make sure every child in New Hampshire graduates from high school. To make sure that all our citizens can get back to work at good jobs. To keep our state safe. To protect the quality of life that makes New Hampshire such a great place to live. I will keep working hard every day for the next 16 months to serve the people of our state; but I will not run for re-election as Governor of New Hampshire. "For me, being governor of the state of New Hampshire is the best job in the world," he added. "Serving in this role is the highest privilege of my life. I remain humbled and honored by the trust the people of this great state have placed in me. I thank all the citizens of our state from the bottom of my heart." Within minutes of his announcement, a host of responses flooded the Internet from fellow New Hampshire political leaders. U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) released the below announcement following: “During his time in the governor’s office, John Lynch’s achievements on behalf of the people of New Hampshire have been tremendous," she said. "His record speaks for itself. At a time when most states are feeling the brunt of a tepid economic recov-

ery, New Hampshire’s unemployment rate stands at nearly half the national average and its poverty rate is the lowest in the country. Under Lynch’s direction, New Hampshire has consistently been ranked as one of the safest states to live in and one of the states with the highest quality of life. “I’ve known John for over 35 years," she continued, "and I’ve watched his love for the people of New Hampshire and our state grow even stronger during his years as Governor. I know that he loved this job, and that love was a huge part of his success. We will miss his steady leadership, his dedication to public service, and his commitment to the people of New Hampshire.” U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), who served as Attorney General under Lynch, praised her former boss. “I join citizens across New Hampshire in thanking Governor Lynch for his service to our state," she said. "During my time as Attorney General, I appreciated the opportunity to work with him to keep our cities and towns safe.” Rep. Frank Guinta (NH-01) added: “I commend Governor John Lynch on his eight years of service to the Granite State. He will be remembered for the dedication he brought to his job. I wish him and his family well as he moves to a new phase in his life.” New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley offered the following: "Governor Lynch is a selfless and tireless advocate for Granite State working families and small businesses," he said. "For seven years, his strong leadership has brought people together to make progress for New Hampshire. As a result, New Hampshire passed statewide public kindergarten, sharply cut our high school dropout rate, kept our unemployment rate one of the lowest in the nation, became the first state to pass marriage equality for all citizens without a court battle or veto, and implemented an aggressive sustainable energy policy. "Governor Lynch's common sense and steady leadership have helped New Hampshire during some of the toughest times in the last hundred years and we know that he will continue to stand up our New Hampshire advantage and state he loves," he added. N.H. House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt made the following statement: “While Governor Lynch and I have differed on many issues throughout his tenure, those of us involved in public service fully understand the tremendous sacrifice that public office entails and I appreciate his years of service and deep dedication to the State of New Hampshire,' he said. "His family must also be sincerely thanked for the sacrifices that they have had to make over the past few years. Gov. Lynch should also be commended for his commitment to a constitutional amendment to fix education funding in New Hampshire, for his strong, willing hand to help those in need during our unfortunate natu-

ral disasters, and his staunch opposition to a sales or income tax. Putting politics aside, John Lynch has always tried to do what he felt was in the best interest of the people of New Hampshire." Former N.H. Senate Majority Leader Maggie Hassan (D)-Exeter), who is considering a run for governor, was quick to praise Lynch Thursday. "I want to thank Governor Lynch for his steady leadership over the course of the last seven years," she said. "New Hampshire has weathered these troubled times better than most, due in large part to the Governor’s thoughtful, innovative, and bi-partisan governing. When our state was faced with challenges — whether it be a faltering national economy, a devastating ice storm, or keeping the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard open, his approach was to always do what was best for the people of New Hampshire," Hassan added. "Although his presence will be missed at the state house, I suspect he still has much to contribute to New Hampshire." On the Republican side, former U.S. Senate candidate and former Republican gubernatorial nominee Ovide Lamontagne said he too is considering a bid. He was in Bartlett Sunday

mingling with citizens at the annual Chandler Family Picinic, hosted by Rep. Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett). Lynch defeated single term Republican governor Craig Benson in 2005 and was the lone Democrat to withstand the Republican political tsunami that swept through New Hampshire last fall. Upon making his announcement public, Lynch sent out an email to his supporters. "I am writing because I wanted to share some news I announced a few minutes ago. As governor, I am working to make sure every child in New Hampshire graduates from high school; to keep our state safe; to protect our great quality of life; and to make sure all our citizens can get back to work at good jobs. I will keep working hard every day for the next 16 months to serve the people of our state; but I will not be running for re-election as Governor of New Hampshire. For me, being governor of the state of New Hampshire is the best job in the world. Serving in this role is the highest privilege of my life. I remain humbled and honored by the trust the people of this great state have placed in me.”

Acts of kindness only affirm our dedication To the editor: The members of the Berlin Fire Department want to take a moment to thank those members of our community who took time out of their busy lives this past Sunday to remember and honor the sacrifices made by all the firefighters who responded to the September 11th terrorist attacks, especially those who never returned home from their shifts.

We were touched by those of you who brought in baked goods, took a moment to say “hello” or “thank you”, or brought in flowers and plants. We hope that in the future our country and our profession will never again experience such dark moments, but simple acts of kindness like those mentioned only reaffirm our dedication to protect our citizens. Berlin Firefighters

I have clothes to donate to charity To the editor: I recently contacted the Salvation Army concerning clothes I was looking to donate. We are in the process of moving to Arizona and will not need winter clothing. The Salvation Army would only accept three bags of clothing. Currently I have ten times that many. I am writing this letter in the hopes that there is some

charity or organization that would welcome my donation of clothes. If your group or organization is interested please send me an email at jkg1961@yahoo.com or call me at 986-1817 so that we can make the necessary arrangements. Thank you in advance. Jane Gordon Berlin

We can all witness human potential in action To the editor: First, thank you for the opportunity to relate this opinion. It is with much thought that I address you. In the course of a person’s lifetime, the opportunity to witness genius does occur. Sometimes this happens more often than one wishes to believe. In the Great North Woods of NH, there is no exception. Throughout the summer, and in reality, throughout the past few years, we have

had the chance to encounter genius virtually right at our fingertips. We have been able to be present to witness such powerful phenomenons that can only leave one in awe of the immense capability of the human potential. Two very significant examples jump out of the heap, both of which we have read about in this very newspaper. The headlines covered the page in bold type to announce upcoming events. see POTENTIAL page 5

Late Voyage

Finally, the ship was setting out on its voyage. It was late, quite late in the year for the voyage that lay ahead of it. Twice it had been delayed. Twice the ship that was to accompany it on its long journey had had to turn back because unexpected and serious leakage had made it unseaworthy. (Its captain would later be accused of using heavierthan-necessary rigging to undermine his own ship’s ability to make the 3,000 mile voyage.) It was now the 16, of September 1620, and the Mayflower alone would make the everdangerous Atlantic crossing. On board the ship were two very different groups of people, three counting the ship’s crew, who did not hesitate to show its disdain for the human cargo the ship was carrying. Their disdain was especially directed at that group of passengers fleeing the authority of the Church of England. The group’s own demanding religious practices did not sit well with many on board. It did not make for a pleasant and congenial voyage across an often wild and unforgiving Atlantic Ocean. To make matters worse, a violent storm, coupled with navigational errors, drove the Mayflower far off its intended course of landing in the colony of Virginia, where its passengers had been authorized to settle by the voyage’s underwriters and English authorities. Now, Christopher Jones, the ship’s captain, now having the ship back under control, was heading farther north, intending to try for a landing somewhere in what is now New York. It was now November 21st, and winter

would soon be making further sailing unwise. They were off the coast of what is now Massachusetts, and it was decided to seek a desirable landing place there. It would take another month of exploration before finding an abandoned native village that seemed suitable for their needs. Tensions between the two different passenger groups were also reaching a head. Being far north of where their charter had authorized them to land, many of those passengers not affiliated with the separatist group, no longer felt bound by it and wanted to go their separate way. But wiser heads recognized that if they were to survive the wintry months ahead the two groups would need each other. And so on this day in November, off the coast of Massachusetts, the Mayflower Compact was drawn up and signed by all of the men of the two groups who, in time, would come to be known collectively as the Pilgrims. The lateness of the voyage would thus prove to be providential after all. While the Compact was born of necessity and only meant to be an interim governing document for the colony, until a new charter could be drawn up, the Compact would have a far more lasting effect on our nation’s history. As noted in the Pilgrim Hall website, the Compact did help establish the principle of “separation of Church and state in a ‘civil body politic’ and the rule of ‘just and equal laws.’” (Ithaca Bound is the pen name of Dick Conway.

The Bachmann Chronicles

Look, you should thank me for not bringing up Greek debt. Afghan violence. Economic indicators. Show some appreciation. Bachmann is a challenge for feminist-friendly voters. Was it sexist to talk about her migraine problem? For Newsweek to run the cover that made her look like a well-groomed zombie? Should we have applauded the Iowa Republicans when they put a woman at the top of their presidential preference list, even if the woman in question blamed government spending for the earthquake in Washington? Wow, it seems like we went through all this with Sarah Palin yesterday. Women tend to do well in almost any new enterprise where there’s not a lot of stratification and seniority. So it’s not surprising the Tea Party has a number of female stars. But isn’t it sort of strange that they’re all extremely attractive to the point of hot? You’d think there’d be a gray hair or a wattle somewhere. As we’ve all learned, Bachmann’s strong points are her passion and determination, while her weak ones include a rather free-floating relationship with reality. This week, she scored a Tea Party version of a home run when she laced into Rick Perry for trying to require girls in Texas public schools to be vaccinated against HPV, a sexually transmitted disease that can cause cervical cancer. “I’m a mom, and I’m a mom of three children,” she said, neglect-

ing for what may have been the first time in the campaign to mention that she also fostered 23 others. Let’s stop a minute on the mom point. How often should a female candidate with children bring that up? My suggestion would be: frequently enough that we can appreciate a special sympathy for issues like early childhood education. But not so often that you could imagine it being her first comment during negotiations with North Korea over plutonium processing. Except that Michele Bachmann does not seem to have a special sympathy for early childhood education. So forget it. About the vaccine. It’s been proved to be effective in reducing cervical cancer in sexually active women, and it apparently works best if you begin the shots around age 12. The intense opposition from the social right appears to be based on the idea that once the kids had the shots they’d be more likely to have sex. Or, in the convoluted and creepy words of Rick Santorum: “Unless Texas has a very progressive way of communicating diseases in their school by way of their curriculum, then there is no government purpose served for having little girls inoculated at the force and compulsion of the government.” Then, Bachmann tossed in another argument: vaccines are dangerous. “I had a mother see BACHMANNN page 5

seeable future. Nadeau said the association hopes to sell the property to someone who will renovate the building into an attractive summer cottage and blend in with the Cedar Pond community. In addition to the chapel, the property includes 100 feet of frontage on the pond and a paved parking area. Nadeau said the association is hoping to donate the church organ to a museum.

charge against Perry: that the governor tried to start up a vaccination program because he got campaign contributions from the vaccine’s maker, Merck. “If you’re saying that I can be bought for five thousand, I’m offended,” said Perry, in a response that will make a swell campaign ad. (“Vote For The Man Who Can’t Be Bought For As Little As $5,000!”) Although Merck has apparently donated about $30,000. And at the time Perry made the decision, his former chief of staff was working for Merck as a lobbyist. Rick Perry supports abstinenceonly sex education in all Texas public schools. He doesn’t think kids should be taught about condoms. How many of you really think he would leap to the cutting-edge front of the war against sexually transmitted disease by inoculating 12-year-old girls simply because, as he put it, “I am always going to err on the side of life.” Let me see a show of hands. Sooner or later, even Michele Bachmann will turn out to be right about something.

at the two masses averaged about 200 and the association itself had about 250 members. The association, he said, was very active at that time, holding an annual July 4, bazaar and collecting funds to maintain the chapel. But the closing of area churches and the shortage of priests ended the weekly church services at the chapel. Nadeau said the association does not see that changing anytime in the fore-

O.K., hold the phone. Let’s presume that Bachmann is being accurate, and that the woman in question was not someone she heard about from a friend of a friend’s cousin in Xenia, Ohio. What would you expect a candidate for president of the United States to do after such an encounter? Take a name? Investigate the case? Would a contender for the White House — or even the Zoning Board of Appeals — just blurt out something they heard from a stranger that could discourage parents from accepting vaccinations that could save their children’s lives? The Bachmann campaign did not respond to my questions about who the woman was or what the candidate did to check out the information. So I guess maybe, yeah. Before we bid adieu to Michele Bachmann, let’s look at her other POTENTIAL from page 4

“Music in the Great North Woods / Bach Fest. !”, or “St. Kieran Center for the Arts/Celtic Series !”, Presents: ... . Both companies are genius, and we have them here, right in our own backyards! For example, this past month the Big Moose Bach Fest engaged audiences with powerfully captivating music written by J.S. Bach, and performed expertly by a group of musicians and vocalists of world class. People from around the United States, Europe, and, yes, from The Great North Woods of New Hampshire, delighted audiences with jaw dropping presentations of Baroque music that can only wish to be performed by the best of professional companies. Berlin’s own stepped up to the front of the stage and made it happen with sublime results. Dr. Susan Ferre, and the fully dedicated board of directors of Music in the Great North Woods must all be thanked for tireless efforts to give us the gift of music, Soli Deo Gloria. Regarding the St Kieran Art Center’s summer contribution to the “genius experience” , The Celtic Series is also at the forefront. Audiences entered the space at St. K’s with the expectation to be entertained, and found themselves fully engaged in culturally based, foot stomping, hand clapping, musical performances. Again, world class acts right in the Great North Woods! Joan Chamberlain, and the board of directors at St. Kieran Art Center must also be thanked for gifting us with great performances. I write this, not only to show grati-

tude for gifts given, but to invite people who read this to share this with just about everyone they know. Artistic genius is very alive here, and we all have open invitations to witness it. Whenever a headline reads: Music in the Great North Woods, or, St. Kieran Arts Center, please take the time to read what is happening, fit the events into your calendar, and find yourself one of the many people whose horizons have been broadened by the energy found in artistic genius. Consider this Friday’s performance at St Kieran’s. Denise and Dan Marois (Berlin natives who have grown from the original Award Winning Theatre North, to establish their very own professional theatre company) will wow audiences with their highly skilled and entertaining act. I can only imagine how great the show will be, since way back when, they were the best of the best in local talent. While you are there for the show, you will also see fine art paintings, prints and photographs hung by eight of the many professional artists who have chosen to live here in the north country. Also, remember to look for the upcoming piano concert by internationally renowned artist, David Westfall, presented by Music in the Great North Woods. It will prove to be one of the most memorable parts of your life. All in all, this note is to be a reminder that we all can witness, if we choose, the splendor of the human potential in action. Go for it! It is worth the effort. Thank you for taking the time, Andre Belanger Berlin

was used to hire facilitators Cheryl Baker and Kathy McCabe of Plymouth State University. The two facilitators spent the first part of the meeting reviewing population trends for the region and schools, operational costs per pupil, the local economic picture, and the current configuration of the two SAUs. SAU 3 represents the Berlin school system. SAU 20 covers the communities of Gorham, Dummer, Errol, Milan, Randolph, and Shelburne. Gorham, Randolph, and Shelburne have formed a cooperative school district within that SAU. The combined population of Berlin, Gorham, Milan, Errol, Shelburne, Randolph, and Dummer dropped from 19,759 in 1970 to 14,745 in 2009. School enrollment of the two SAUs dropped by 223 students from the 2008-09 school year to the 2011-12 school year. As population of the valley has dropped and the economy has suffered, there have been cuts in local schools. Berlin cut 13 staff positions in 2010 and the GRS Cooperative School Board eliminated eight positions. Errol Consolidated School reduced hours for two teachers and Milan Village School cut 20 percent of the time of a Title

After reviewing the data, the facilitators divided the gathering into groups of four, with two assigned to argue the case for consolidating and two assigned to argue against it. Then the facilitators listed the various arguments for and against consolidation. Arguments in favor of consolidating included enhanced curriculum, consolidation of administration and employees, expansion of social dynamics within the communities, enhanced extra-curricular activities including sports, potential cost savings, enhanced interaction between communities, better college placement for graduates, and more individualization of education. Arguments in favor of not consolidating included smaller class sizes, maintaining the current number of jobs, keeping grades K through 6 separate, shorter bus rides, local control of curriculum, potential impact on state and federal aid, a belief that scholastic achievement is higher in smaller schools, and infrastructure and capital improvement costs.

TESTING from page one

ease (CHD), began her advocacy after researching her son’s condition and seeing how many children are affected. Her research found that CHD is the number one birth defect, affecting 1 in 100 children. According to Lemoine, that translates to 40,000 births a year nationwide and 4,000 deaths of infants prior to their first birthday as a result of CHD. “So there just needs to be education,” she said. As she discovered the prevalence of CHD, her shock and anger grew at the lack of publicity. She also came across the idea that pulse oximetry, the routine test that involves an oxygen meter applied to the finger of adults, could help detect previously undetected CHD in unsymptomatic newborns prior to them experiencing complications or being sent home with this undetected condition. AVH’s Debbie Alonzo of the Valley Birthplace explained that the sensor will also be used on newborns’ hands or feet to measure the oxygen bound to hemoglobin in the blood. “This simple

test will provide parents and pediatricians a more complete picture of their child’s health sooner,” she said in a hospital press release. Lemoine said the answer seemed too simple at first, so she continued her research, and after reaching out to the local pediatricians and her son’s cardiologist, it became clear that the simple solution may just be the right one. While Lemoine was looking into this, movements were also afoot to look at this testing, although they were stuck in the bureaucratic processes that dictate standards of care. She said that a national Health and Human Services panel had recommended a 90-day panel be convened on April 20, to advise HHS Secretary Kathy Sebelius on screening policy for CHD. Meanwhile individual states had legislation in process and many were waiting on word from the American Academy of Pediatrics, who just last week released a pre-print of a November article that finds “sufficient evidence to begin screening for low blood oxygen saturation through

the use of pulse oximetry...” Laracy, who treats Lemoine’s son, said that he was among the hold-outs waiting for word from the American Academy of Pediatrics, but after pressed to do more research by Lemoine, felt the word from the professional society was not necessary given the simplicity and cost effectiveness of the test. He got the ball rolling at Memorial and expects that the testing protocol will make it through the hospital’s administrative process in a few weeks. It has already been approved by Memorial’s clinical standards committee. “Within a month we should have it full instituted,” he said. “We’ll actually be ahead of the curve,” he said. Although many cases of infant CHD are detected by observant medical personnel, Laracy said that the pulse oximetry will screen for critical CHD cases, “the ones that typically would require catheterization or surgery within the first year.” With both local hospitals implementing this testing ahead of any

state guidelines or the publication of the AAP’s findings, Lemoine is heartened that local newborns will be tested with the rest of the state and even nation likely to follow. “This is pure proof that the squeaky wheel gets the grease,” she said. She added that it is important for parents to know that even if their baby is born at a hospital that does not have a pulse oximetry policy they have a right to ask for the test. “It’s their right to request it and even demand it prior to discharge and to ask for the results,” Lemoine said. In addition to policy, Lemoine has been working on raising awareness of this condition in conjunction with the March of Dimes and NH Patient Voices. To that end, she said, the NH Fisher Cats have signed on to hold a CHD awareness night during their 2012 season. “Jen has been an amazing patient advocate,” Laracy said, not only for her son but for all patients with CHD. “I’m amazed at what she’s done getting the word out.”

Learn about the Bariatric Program offered by the CMC Obesity Treatment Center BERLIN -- The Catholic Medical Center (CMC) Obesity Treatment Center Satellite Office at Androscoggin Valley Hospital will be hosting a booth at the upcoming Healthy Living Expo to be held on Wednesday, September 28, from 2 to 6 p.m. at AVH. North Country individuals struggling with weight loss are welcome to stop by the booth to discuss if they are a candidate for bariatric surgery and to find out what the process is to be in the Bariatric Program. Individuals can find out their “BMI” (body mass index) and how insurance companies use this number to qualify people for bariatric surgery. The Bariatric Program process begins with individuals attending an informational session at AVH, the next of which will be held at 6

p.m., Monday, September 26. After the session, individuals are then seen by CMC providers at AVH for their initial evaluation. After their evaluation, individuals follow up with AVH providers on a monthly basis until they are ready for surgery. Following surgery, post-op care (for up to 3 months) is provided by a surgeon at CMC, then all follow-up care can be done at AVH. The CMC Obesity Treatment Center Satellite Office at AVH will save North Country residents time and money with decreased travel to CMC. The Healthy Living Expo offers health screenings, presentations, demonstrations, consults, home safety and other health-related exhibits as a free service to the community. For more information, please call AVH at 326-5607.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis doesn’t matter who deserves what. Results have more to do with cause and effect and the way energy is exchanged. Put moral judgments aside, and observe what is working and what isn’t. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What you say won’t make sense to a lot of people. But it will be understood by the one who is on your wavelength. It will be reassuring to know that others think like you sometimes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No matter what the problem is, it can be looked at in a different way. Perspective is a powerful tool that makes small things big and big things small. Move around until your problem appears to be of manageable scale. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are a social person and will be motivated by the attention you get from others. You have a special way of interacting that gives both you and the other person more energy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What many mistake for freedom is just another cage made from different materials. True freedom is hard to come by. In some way, you may feel restricted by liberties you claimed long ago. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 16). You will resist authoritative control, recognizing that you are ready to lead your own journey. You will turn a profit in your dealings precisely because your offerings are equitable and realistic. November features social excitement. January begins a most satisfying labor of love. Capricorn and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 3, 20, 48 and 46.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Try to be patient with yourself. You may think that you’re underperforming, but this is probably because you’re not looking at the entire scope of what you do on a daily basis. Give yourself a break. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People try to get away with the silliest things, but you won’t stand for it. In some ways, you’re the judge and enforcer. Someone needs to uphold the laws of common decency. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The person, place or thing you are looking for may not want to be found. Stop searching, and consider that life might be perfect in this moment with exactly what you already have. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have been loyal. You’ve encouraged another person and earned his or her trust. In the course of one day, you have the power to make or break your solid record. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most of what you’ll do you’ll do alone. But don’t worry if you happen to be outnumbered by the other team. What you lack in support, you make up for in raw talent, energy and ambition. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are very close to being finished with a project, though you wouldn’t know it by the look of things. The final stages seem like total disarray, but in the last moment, things shape up nicely. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Powerful people are not impervious to flattery. They want respect and admiration as much as anyone else -- maybe more. You have a special sense about the ego-needs of others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It

SADNESS THAT LINGERS IS A SYMPTOM OF DEPRESSION

DEAR ABBY: I am 18 years old and would like to know what kinds of symptoms show that it’s time for counseling -- depression, mood swings, etc. -- CONSIDERING IT IN OHIO DEAR CONSIDERING IT: You have asked an important question. Everybody experiences sadness at some point, but sadness that doesn’t go away can actually be depression, a medical condition. Anyone, regardless of age, who experiences any FIVE of the following symptoms for two weeks or more should discuss it with a mental health professional: 1. Feeling of sadness and/or irritability. 2. Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed. 3. Changes in weight and appetite. 4. Changes in sleep patterns. 5. Feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless. 6. Inability to concentrate, remember things or make decisions. 7. Restlessness or decreased activity noticed by others. 8. Fatigue or loss of energy. 9. Thoughts of death or suicide. DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful hairdresser who helps not only me but also many of my friends and family members. She’s the sole support for her family and the sweetest person you could ever meet. The issue is her sense of time. There’s no problem if you’re the first or second appointment of the day, but after that she runs further and further behind. Yesterday, it took my frail mother-in-law 3 1/2 hours to get her hair done because of the wait time. I was the first appointment at 7:30 a.m. and she didn’t make it into the shop until 7:40. How can I help her understand she’s driving her

customers away without offending her? -- CUTTING TIME IN UTAH DEAR CUTTING TIME: Your hairdresser may be good at styling hair but it appears she’s not a very good businesswoman. If she’s losing customers because she manages her schedule so poorly, tell her why. You will be doing her a favor. And please, before you bring your frail mother-in-law in for another appointment, call to find out how late the woman is running before letting your mother-in-law sit for 3 1/2 hours before even seeing a shampoo bowl. DEAR ABBY: I recently bought a small travel trailer that I use for weekend fishing trips. My dog, “Goldie,” accompanies me on these short trips and sleeps with me on the only bed in the trailer. My wife, “Shirley,” is now expecting to go on some of my fishing trips with Goldie and me. The problem is, Goldie is used to sleeping with me, and I believe she should have first dibs on the bed since she was there first. When I informed Shirley that she’d be sleeping in the back of the truck, she came unglued. Now, Shirley and I are hardly speaking. Goldie is a young Lab pup who is my very best friend, constant companion and never nags. I think my wife is being selfish and inconsiderate, but I’d like your opinion. Am I out of line here? -- GOIN’ FISHIN’ IN MIDLAND, TEXAS DEAR GOIN’ FISHIN’: If you’re expecting sympathy from me, you’re barking up the wrong tree. You are not only out of line, but it appears you’re also in the doghouse. A real Texas gentleman would let Shirley and Goldie share the bed while HE slept in the truck, and that’s what I’m urging you to do.

BERLIN-- Berlin’s Dustin Heath scored a goal and assisted on the other, leading the Mountaineers to a tough 2-1 victory over the Prospect Mountain Timberwolves in Berlin Wednesday. The first chance Berlin got was when Heath beat the defender on a run down the left side of the field and then made a nice move in the box area, forcing Timberwolve goal keeper Zack Robinson to make a great block of Heath’s shot. Robinson could not contain the rebound and sophomore Ryan Richard was in the right spot to punch the ball into the back of the net for the 1-0 lead. The goal was Richard’s fifth of the year. In the second half, Heath score the game winner with 31:27 remaining on the game clock. Left winger Connor Jewett made a nice run down the left side of the field and drew the keeper out to play him. Jewett made a nice centering pass to Heath who easily redirected the pass into a wide open net to give the Mountaineers a 2-0 lead. The goal was Heath’s second of the Fall.

The Mountaineers controlled play through out the second half until there was under two minutes to play. Prospect’s Zach Drouin got the ball on the right side of the field and brought it into the penalty area. The pass was redirected onto the foot of Alex Binette from five yards out in front of the Berlin goal. Binette picked the far side of the cage, beating Mountie keeper Curtis Arsenault for a 2-1 score. The goal drew the ire of head coach Craig Melanson. Coach Melanson’s concern, quickly refocused his team over the final two minutes of play and the Timberwolves were kept from any further scoring opportunities. For the game, Berlin’s Arsenault had eight saves and Prospect’s Robinson seven blocks. Berlin held a 4-1 edge in corners. The Mounties will return to their home field on Saturday during homecoming weekend. Berlin will take on their neighbors to the south in the form of the Gorham Huskies. BHS- 1 1-2 PMHS 0 1-1 Scoring: BHS- Richard, Heath, PMHS- Binette, Saves: BHS- Arsenault 8, PMHS- Robinson 7.

Deblois pushes Mounties past Bears, 2-0 Huskies clip Purple Eagle’s wings, 7-0 BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN-- Senior Jesse Deblois scored a pair of goals on direct kicks, lifting the Berlin Mountaineers to a thrilling 2-0 win over a solid Newfound Regional High School team. The goals were Deblois’s first two of the year. Both goals came in the first half and were shot from just outside the penalty area. “It was a back and forth game,” said head coach Craig Melanson. “That Newfound team is pretty athletic. I thought that they had a good keeper who made BERLIN from page 16

8:16 into the contest. Morgan Boucher began the play just outside the circle and sent it back in onto team mate Carly Perreault’s stick. Perreault quickly passed the ball to the left side to find the waiting Thompson to make it 1-0. It was Thompson fourth goal of the year. There was just 54 seconds left in the first half when Mountie Lindsey Couture netted her first goal of the year from Thompson and a 2-0 lead. Berlin held a slight advantage in corners seven to three. Saves in the first half had Berlin’s Morgan Ouellette making six saves and Littleton’s Kriston Wilson blocking five Berlin drives. In the second half, Boucher scored her first goal of the Fall. Team mate Shannon O’Neil got the ball back to Boucher. Boucher’s shot was through a maze of players and found the back of the net to make it 3-0 Mounties.

some great saves. Ryan Richard, Jesse Deblois and Ethan Dorval played very well for us. It was a good win going into this stretch of our schedule we need all of the momentum that we can get.” The Mounties out shot their guests 18-8 and held a 3-0 edge in corners. The shutout victory was Berlin’s fourth straight of the season. BHS 2 0-2 NRHS 0 0-0 Saves: BHS- Arsenault- 8, NRHSZach Robinson- 16, Scoring: BHS- Deblois 2. The Littleton girls responded by getting one of their own goals off of a corner. Aleigh Abott scored the goal, with the assist going to Heather Fillion. The shot was similar to Boucher’s goal in that the blast was taken and shot through a maze of players. That was all of the scoring in the game. The Lady Mountaineers knocking off one of the previously undefeated teams. Littleton held the edge in corners in the second half four to three. Berlin’s Ouellet added three more saves in the second half for a game total of nine. The Berlin girls will get a chance to practice for the remainder of the week. Its homecoming weekend and the Ladies will face the very tough Kennett Eagles on Saturday afternoon. BHS 2 1-3 LHS 0 1-1 Scoring: BHS- Thompson, Boucher, Couture, LHS- Abott.

GROVETON-- Juniors Hunter Lambertson and Doug Blunden combined to score five goals, leading the Huskies to a 7-0 victory over the Purple Eagles in Groveton Tuesday. Lambertson’s first came just 5:48 into the game from Chris Defosses. Defosses sent Lambertson down the left side and then turned the corner and hit a low drive to the short side from 15 yards out for a 1-0 lead. Defosses was next and picked up a big unassisted goal just before half time at 39:26. The lanky sophomore picked up a deflected ball on the right side of box and hit the upper left corner from about 12 yards out. The goal was his fifth of the year. Lambertson netted his second of the game just 1:11 into the the second half. The left footed kicker pick up a deflected ball inside the box on the right side and scored on a low drive to the lower right corner. Lambertson completed the hat trick (2nd of season) at the 8:50 mark, from senior Jonathan Chabot. Chabot’s beautiful through pass split the two central defenders and sent Lambertson in all alone. The goal was Lambertson’s seventh of the year. Junior forward Doug Blunden (1st varsity goal) scored at 59:38 for a 5-0 lead. Chabot’s centering pass to Blunden at the 16 yard line allowed him to take a very nice shot into the upper right corner.

Blunden wasn’t done and at 60:10 of the game, he picked up a failed clearing attempt and pushed it past the Groveton keeper on the lower left side. Junior Sam Jensen scored with ten minutes remaining in the game, from team mate Kyle Boisselle. Boisselle’s pass to the left wing was followed by a great effort play. Jensen beat the keeper to the ball and while sliding, Jensen kicked it past him from 14 yards out to make it 7-0. The goal was Jensen’s fourth of the Fall. The Gorham goal keeper, Tyler Sanschagrin, had eight saves and Groveton’s Chris Helms blocked 17 Huskie shots. The corners were Gorham 5 and Groveton 2. “A good win for our first game on the road,” said head coach Billy Goodrich. “Very unselfish play. The second half really opened up the game and created good scoring chances. Defensively, we did a good job being without Jacob St Hilaire. Others really stepped up to fill the void, Cody Gauthier was very solid and Brian Veazey gave us a great effort off the bench.” The Huskies travel to Profile on Thursday and then battle the Mountaineers in Berlin Saturday afternoon. GHS 2 5-7 GHS 0 0-0 Scoring: Gorham- Lambertson 3, Blundin 2, Jensen, Defosses, Groveton- None.

North Country Energy Fair to be held September 24 BERLIN -- Berlin is emerging as one of the new energy centers in New Hampshire. There are many interesting projects supporting energy efficiency and renewable energy underway throughout the region.
