Princess, Rialto screens go dark

Cooking up a treat

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — Citing tough economic times and declining attendance, TBA Theatres announced on Sept. 8 that both the Princess Theater in Berlin and the Rialto Theater in Lancaster would be closing their doors. The Princess was closed as of Thursday, while the Rialto promised one final show on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. — a free movie, most likely “Grease” if the hints teased on the theater website have been correctly interpreted — in an effort to “go out the way we came in,” according to the company’s press release. The closure leaves Littleton’s Jax Jr. Cinemas as the last remaining movie theater in operation north of the notches. After purchasing the Rialto in 2007, the TBA owners, Steve and Tonya Taylor, Joe Bowen, and Heidi Bogner, expanded into Berlin in 2009 with the purchase of the Princess. They later added a southern property with the Lilac Mall Cinema in Rochester. The Rochester location remains open. Known locally for their special events, including costumed midnight screenings, holiday pajama matinees, concerts, free films, fundraisers and even celebrity A grant from Berlin City paid for the skill building course that these three Gorham Middle-High School students took part in recently. Part of the course instruction, led by teacher Neil Tenenbaum, was cooking skills, which the students put into practical use by treating Gorham’s oldest resident, Helen Lamontagne, 97, to a menu of her choice. The trio, from left, Austin Webb, Zach Bigue and Zach Couture, cooked up beef stew, homemade bread and blueberry pie, in Mrs. Lamontagne’s kitchen, much to her delight. (NEIL TENENBAUM PHOTO)

Council wants to hear from public at education forums BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — The city council said it wants to hear from the public on the regional discussion on education in the Androscoggin Valley before weighing in on the subject. “I just want to sit there and listen,” said Mayor Paul Grenier. Superintendent of School Corrine Cascadden and School Board Chair Nicole Plourde met with the council at its Tuesday meeting this week to update the council on the forums that will take place in Berlin, Gorham, Randolph, Shelburne, Milan, and Errol over the next month. Cascadden said she and SAU Superintendent of Schools Paul Bousquet got a grant from the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund to help pay for two facilitators to run the forums. She said there Buying or Selling Real Estate? Call WAYNE MICUCCI 723-7015 RE/MAX Northern Edge Realty 232 Glen Ave Berlin 752-0003

will be information provided on enrollments and cost per pupil for the schools. Cascadden said she has no preconceived outcome but wants to hear from the public. “I don’t know where it’s headed,” she said. Plourde said the goal for her is to see the district offer as much as it can to the city’s students. Cascadden noted that she had provided the council with some research about different school structures that City Manager Patrick MacQueen put together five years ago. Berlin is a dependent school district with the city council setting its budget. She said some cities have independent school districts that hold an annual school meeting and the voters approve the budget. There are also cooperative school districts like the Gorham,

Plans for former Bartlett School moving forward BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- A proposal to convert the former Bartlett School into housing for college students is progressing. White Mountains Suites partners Steven Binette and Steven Halle requested the city council extend the purchase and sale agreement for the property to Nov. 15. The council Tuesday approved the extension. The agreement expired Sept. 1 The partners reported they are working with Laconia Savings Bank and the N.H. Community Development Finance Authority on financing for the project. Within the next two weeks, they said an energy audit will be done on the building. Berlin Housing Coordinator André Caron said an expert from the Small Business Administration has helped the company prepare a business plan for the venture. The school department closed the school at the end of the 2008-09 school year and in the fall of 2009 the city issued a request for proposals for the building. The Binette Family, owners of Ray’s Electric and the Valley Creek Eatery, submitted a plan to convert the building into housing for students at White Mountains Community College. see SUITES page 6

Welcome to Triassic Park PHOENIX (NY Times) — Call it Triassic Park. The National Park Service will sign a deal Thursday greatly expanding the boundaries of Petrified Forest National Park in northeast Arizona, where relatively small bipedal dinosaurs roamed hundreds of millions of years ago and their fossilized remains have been discovered in the stark, rainbow-hued landscape. In acquiring 26,500 acres of private ranchland that has long been the envy of archeologists and paleontologists, the park will increase its boundaries by roughly a quarter as well as increase opportunities for both researchers and visitors to peer back into the Late Triassic period, which preceded the Jurassic period, during which giant dinosaurs thrived. “The opportunities to find things new to science are pretty high,” said William G. Parker, the park’s paleontologist, noting that past expeditions by the Smithsonian, the American Museum of Natural History, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Texas at Austin have led to significant finds of plant and animal fossils on the acquired property. With more than 600,000 visitors a year, the park’s oddly shaped rock formations, in colors ranging from red and pink to green and purple, provide a firsthand glimpse of the ancient landscape of a different earth.

Experts see limited impact from tax cuts in Obama plan

Court blocks suit against health law

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The likely centerpiece of President Obama’s job creation plan, a proposal to further reduce Social Security taxes, is emblematic of a broader package of modest, pragmatic measures that economists say will at best make a small dent in the nation’s economic problems. In a Thursday night speech before a joint session of Congress, the president is expected

to propose the extension of a tax cut enacted last year reducing the contributions that workers must make toward future Social Security benefits. Mr. Obama also is expected to propose a new cut in the matching payments that employers must make. The tax cuts, which would deprive the government of more than $100 billion in annual revenue, are the largest items in a plan also expected to include

proposals for other cuts in business taxes, an increase in federal spending on roads, schools and other public infrastructure, and fresh aid for states to limit ongoing layoffs of government workers. The White House mostly is proposing to extend an existing tax cut, maintaining rather than expanding the spending power of American workers. The plan, in other words, is primarily defensive.

Qaddafi loyalists urged to fight on in broadcast TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times) — Amid another confusing round of claims and counterclaims by the Libyan rebels on the whereabouts of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, an audio recording said to be from the ousted Libyan leader surfaced on Thursday dismissing reports that he had fled and vowing to continue to fight. The authenticity of the message, broadcast on Arrai TV, could not be verified. It was the third such message said to be from Colonel Qaddafi to be broadcast on Arrai TV, based in Syria, since rebel forces ended his 42-year rule last month.

“We will not leave our ancestral land,” Colonel Qaddafi said in the audio message, according to a translation by Reuters. He addressed reports that a column of fighters and officials from his government had fled south into Niger, saying such military convoys are common. “This is not the first time that convoys drive in and out of Niger.” A spokesman for a powerful militia commander said on Wednesday that Colonel Qaddafi had been cornered in the Sahara, a report dismissed by a spokesman for the transitional government’s military.

(NY Times) — The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled on Thursday that Virginia’s attorney general does not have legal standing to challenge the 2010 federal health care law and its mandate that Americans obtain insurance. The court, based in Richmond, Va., threw out a lower-court decision invalidating the insurance requirement. The Fourth Circuit is the third appellate court to rule on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act’s central coverage provision. The other two have divided on the question of the law’s constitutionality, making it likely that the matter will be settled by the United States Supreme Court. Ruling first, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati ruled two-to-one in favor of the law. Then the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Atlanta ruled against the individual mandate portion of the law, also by two-to-one.

Conditions prime for Mud Bowl BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Now that the skies have cleared, conditions could not be any finer for this year's Mud Bowl mud football championships, which are to be held at North Conway's Steve Eastman Memorial Field at Hog Coliseum, Friday through Sunday, Sept. 9-11. This year's double-elimination tourney has been expanded to two five-team, divisions, Water and Dirt (add them together, and you get mud). The champions of each division of the 17-game two-hand touch mud football tourney will meet in the finals at 2:30 p.m. Sunday. The action gets under way Friday, with the first of the day’s seven games splashing off at 9:30 a.m. between the Carrabasset Valley Rats and the 2001 champion Merrimack Mudcats of Franklin. The hometown Mount Washington Valley Hogs play their first game Friday at 10:30 a.m. against the Predators. The Cumberland Muckaneers play in the third game of the day at 11:30 p.m. against the Mudsharks; the North Country Mud Crocs of North Conway play the Mud Skippers at 12:30 p.m.; and the defending champion Muddas Football Club plays the winner of Game 1 at 1:30 p.m. The last game of the day Friday is at 3:30 p.m. between the winners of Games 4 and 6. After Saturday’s parade and the opening ceremonies, play begins at noon and continues every hour on the hour until 5 p.m. Play resumes Sunday at 10 a.m. and continues with five games, including the finals at 2:30 p.m.

Proceeds benefit local non-profits in Mount Washington Valley, including North Conway Community Center, North Conway Day Care and Carroll County Retired Senior Volunteer Program. This year's overall theme — and the theme of Saturday's 29th annual Tournament of Mud Parade — is “Mud Bowl celebrates TV Com-MUD-ies.” Saturday's parade is set for 10 a.m. and will proceed south down North Conway's Main Street from the John Fuller Elementary School on Pine Street to the judges' reviewing stand in front of the Conway Scenic Railroad's North Conway train station on Norcross Circle. Serving as grand marshals on this 10th anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11 will be representatives of American Legion posts 46 and 95 of Mount Washington Valley in honor of the sacrifices made by our country's service people and first responders. The parade will be led by color guards for Post 95, the Sons of America Ladies Auxiliary of Post 46, and the North Conway firefighters. Any and all veterans and first responders who would like to march in the parade may gather at the school at 9:15 a.m. Saturday, according to parade chair Bobbi Steele-Marotta. Tickets: three-day ticket $10; day tickets $6 ages 14 and up, $4 ages 6-13; family tickets (two adults, two children) $15 per day. Three-day tickets serve as entry in two $500 raffle drawings, one each set for Saturday and Sunday. For more information, call Jackie Howe at the North Conway Community Center at 356-5213, Ryan Sommer at the North Conway Community Center, 356-2096.

Commissioners, legislators look at landowner protections

CONCORD — At a press conference at the Legislative Office Building on Thursday, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Commission joined State Representative Gene Chandler and State Senator Andy Sanborn to call for a legislative solution to address the need for greater protection for landowners who leave their land open for outdoor recreation. “It’s come to our attention that the current statute may not offer enough protection for landowners,” said Sharon Guaraldi, Chair of the N.H. Fish and Game Commission. “Today’s announcement is to let the public — both landowners and recreational land users — know that we are actively working to find the best solutions possible.” Chandler and Sanborn agreed to co-sponsor a legislative solution, the specifics of which are yet to be determined. They have been actively working with the N.H. Fish and Game Commission, a variety of legislators, heads of various state agencies and departments, and members of the public in seeking a reasonable solution to help keep landowners from feeling forced to post their property because of liability issues. These actions are criti-

cal, according to Guaraldi, “because we all know that posted property means no access. That’s not just for hunters and anglers, but also directly impacts the hiking community, the tourism industry, wildlife viewers, those focused on getting children into the outdoors — in summary, just about everyone.” “I assure you that the New Hampshire Fish and Game Commission and the Fish and Game Department as a whole take this situation quite seriously and will continue to work with these others toward a solution. I truly believe that as we work together, we will retain the New Hampshire tradition of landowners feeling comfortable sharing their land with the general public,” said Guaraldi. “As it says on Governor John Lynch’s website, ‘New Hampshire works best when New Hampshire works together.’” Also present at the press conference and supportive of work toward a legislative solution were Fish and Game Executive Director Glenn Normandeau; Fish and Game Commissioners Robert Phillipson, Walter Morse and Eric Orff; and representatives of the N.H. Farm Bureau, the N.H. Wildlife Federation and the N.H. Timberland Owners Association

Ithaca Bound

September morning

The long-sought for singing engagement had finally become a reality. I was to do my cabaret program that afternoon at a resort about an hour’s drive from where I live. On this beautiful Tuesday morning in September, I was checking out my equipment before loading it in the car for the matinee gig. When the first of the Twin Towers was hit, personal matters were, of course, put aside; and, along with every other American who could, I stood and watched the grim events happen over and over again, as television stations ran endless reruns of passenger-and-crew-filled airplanes, turned into lethal weapons, smashing into buildings with who knew how many people starting their day’s work inside. I would like to be able to write that I was surprised and shocked. A good deal of my time, however, is spent reading the works of various newspaper and magazine columnists and listening to the views of a number of different radio and television commentators. Frequently, I read and heard about how vulnerable this country was to such an attack, how unprepared, and that this country has many enemies both at home and abroad that would one day take advantage of that vulnerability. Indeed, a home-grown terrorist had already done so, as had an earlier attempt to wreak havoc at the commercial center of the country. The when, where, method, scope, and perpetrators of the attack were not known, of course, but most of the informed writers and commentators that I regularly read and listened to believed that it was just a matter of time. That Tuesday morning in September, the time had come. One of the commentators to whom I listened that morning thought that the final casualty count could rival another September morning one hundred and thirty nine years earlier when the blood of over 20,000 Americans soaked the fields of Antietam (Sharpsburg), in Maryland, on the 17th of September 1862. That one day’s carnage, when Americans killed Americans, marked the bloodiest day of the Civil War. Given the number of people who worked in New York’s Twin Towers,

September 11, 2001, might well rival or exceed it. As it turned out, the planes hit the towers too early in the morning. As a result, the death toll was nowhere near what it might have been. That was at least some consolation. I waited a bit longer and then called the resort where I was to perform that afternoon. Was I still to come and do my program? Yes. By all means do come. Everyone here is still expecting you. And so I went and did my show. After all, that is what performers do. Regardless of the circumstances, the show goes on if it is all possible for it to do so. There were many that afternoon who thanked me for coming, and I was glad I was able to bring a little pleasure to their day. The next day at work, at HeritageNew Hampshire, I began to write some thoughts about September 11th down on paper. The thoughts became a poem that I called “Remembrance: 11 September 2001.” Here are a few of the verses:

Relentlessly, relentlessly,/ the hawks of war bore ever on./ Twin shining towers proudly gleamed/a moment more. Then, they were gone. Insanity! Insanity!/Yet madness more there was to come./ More hawks of war dove down to doom./Louder beat the funereal drum. Monstrosity! Monstrosity!/What drives such nefarious need?/What fervor heat? What hatred deep/demands ruthless, murderous deed? Serenity, serenity/shattered by Man’s unending hate./Smoldering ruins, lifeless eyes/proclaim a new infamous date. In unity, in unity,/ our hands we’ll join, lift voices strong,/renew our pledge, make solemn vow,/and sing with pride our freedom’s song. © (Ithaca Bound is the pen name of Dick Conway.

In 1963, Husky organized and played in the Berlin City Hockey League. He also organized a travelling All-Star team that played in tournaments. He was instrumental in the cleanup and rebuilding of the Notre Dame Arena when the original building collapsed in 1969. Over the years, Husky received many awards for his efforts as a player, coach and builder of the sport of ice hockey in Berlin. In tribute to his lifelong passion, dedication, and devotion to the sport of Ice Hockey, he was inducted into the New Hamp-

shire Legends of Hockey Hall of Fame on March 20, 2004. Husky was also very involved with his grandchildren and their sports. He would make every effort to attend their games at any distance. He also enjoyed being outdoorshunting, fishing, trapping, and camping at Maidstone Lake in Vermont. Husky was a communicant of Guardian Angel Church now known as St. Anne Church of Good Shepherd Parish. He leaves his loving wife of 62 years, Priscilla I.

appearances, both Coos theaters met with community support, but according to the company’s announcement, regular attendance in recent years just hasn’t kept up with costs. “After year three, things changed. Movie theatre attendance nationally started to decline. Theatres in the lowest populated areas were hit the hardest,” the announcement reads. Despite their efforts to stay afloat by converting to seasonally operated theaters, the owners were not able to raise enough money to keep the doors open for the fall or even seasonally until the holidays. “We would like to express our deepest disappointments that we were unable to restore the cinemas to their former glory,” the owners said. “There are many challenges to operating a small movie house and we gave every-

The building would be privately owned and not affiliated with the college although college officials would notify students of its availability. There would be an on-site manager to oversee the property. thing we had to try to make it work.” Despite the closure announcement, efforts are already underway by the business community to get someone else to occupy the Princess Theater building. Sylvia Poulin of Berlin’s Main Street Program said the topic came up at their Wednesday meeting with the group noting the importance of the keeping the theater on Main Street. “I think it’s an important cornerstone to our downtown,” Poulin said. In fact, she noted the Main Street’s Christmas ornament for this year features the city’s three theaters — the Princess, the Albert and the Strand, of which the Princess had been the last remaining theater in operation. Poulin said that the Main Street program has already begun reaching out via email to anyone that they believe may be able to utilize the Princess building.

Shelburne, Randolph Cooperative District as well as less formal arrangements like Authorized Regional Enrollment Area Schools. Grenier said he has some ideas but did not want to express them for fear it might inhibit the discussions. He suggested, however, that people should not go into the discussions with the idea of saving money. He said the focus should be how to maximize the money available. Plourde said she thought the fact Berlin is a dependent school district would limit opportunities for collaboration. She said at a meeting with area school officials several years ago one of the first issues raised was why would area towns want to send their kids to a school district where they had no say over budget issues. Plourde said there are pros and cons to being a dependent district. Grenier said he does not see Berlin’s status as a dependent district as a impediment. He said he believed it unlikely the Berlin school system would have received a half million dollar increase in its current budget if the budget had gone before the voters. Councilor Tom McCue noted the school district has several opportunities to discuss its budget request with the council before a final decision is made. There is also a public hearing on the council’s budget. McCue said independent school districts have their budgets decided at a single public meeting. Grenier said he would recommend school officials look at working within the existing political structure of the participating school districts. Councilor Lucie Remillard said she liked the idea of consolidation but said she will want to see benefits to Berlin. In other business: * Cascadden said the school district is interested in building a two bay bus garage on a piece of city-owned land on Madison Avenue. She said the garage would be used for maintenance work. The idea is to have the Building Trades program construct the garage. Cascadden said the district still needs to determine what it would cost to build the garage and how long the pay back period would be. The district is currently renting space at a cost of $20,000 a year and has a rental agreement through 2013. * The council referred to its traffic and safety committee a complaint it received earlier this summer about parking on Francis Street. Connie Richards had complained that her neighbor, Paul Croteau, is running a junkyard and parking vehicles on both sides of the road. Richards said there are times when an emergency vehicle could not pass because of the parked vehicles and other times when the vehicles block the fire hydrant. Croteau has dis-

puted her charges. Grenier said he wants the committee to look at a city-wide solution to parking issues. * Housing Coordinator André Caron received council approval to merge two tax deeded properties and sell them by sealed bid. A house at 349 Burgess Street and abutting land will be put up for sale. Bids must cover the back taxes owed on the properties including interest and expenses. The successful bidder must renovate and make the house habitable within 12 months of purchase. * A public hearing will be held at the Sept. 19 council meeting on an ordinance amendment to remove a two hour parking zone on East Mason Street. * A public hearing will be held at the Sept. 19 council meeting on an ordinance amendment to add a new cross walk at the intersection of Sullivan and Grafton Streets. * The council agreed to act as the fiscal agent for White Mountain Ridge Runners to allow the snowmobile club to receive a $15,000 grant from the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund to construct a warming hut at Jericho Mountain State Park. * City Manager Patrick MacQueen said the city experienced flash flooding of all its small streams during Tropical Storm Irene and there was serious flooding in a limited number of households. He said the city had some road closures and quite a few trees down, which lead to power outages. MacQueen said Waste Water Superintendent Henry Noel reported the city’s sewer collection system was overcharged and as a result the city violated its discharge permit for e-Coli in the Androscoggin River. MacQueen said he does not expect the federal Environmental Protection Agency will take any action because the city is working to reduce inflow and infiltration into the system. Mayor Paul Grenier praised MacQueen for being out checking on damage and patrolling the city during the storm. Councilor McCue thanked the work of the city fire, police, and public works departments. * MacQueen reported that Public Service of N.H. moved up its annual drawdown of the canal and water level above the Smith hydro dam because of the electric fire at its station last week. The company originally scheduled the drawdown to run from Sept. 17-30. Instead, it lowered the water level Sept. 1. * Mayor Grenier nominated and the council approved the reappointment of Peter Higbee to the Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority. * Grenier reported on the passing of Normand ‘Husky’ Poirier. The mayor said Poirier spent almost his entire life involved in hockey in Berlin including the Berlin Maroons and Berlin Youth Hockey. He was also on the Notre Dame board of trustees. The mayor praised Poirier’s contributions to the city and said he would be “sorely missed”.

Police say shots When it comes to were fired before sales to consumers, Cornish standoff N.H. apple growers CORNISH — A Cornish man was accused of firing several shots and holding his family hostage at a Cornish home Thursday morning. Police said they were called to 132 Clark Camp Road at 12:30 a.m. on a report of a domestic situation. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots coming from the home earlier. “We heard a few gunshots, and it was loud enough so that it woke us right out of bed,” said neighbor Chris Jewell. “We kept listening out the window, and we could hear the kids yelling, ‘Mom! Mom!’” Jewell said that shortly afterward, police told him to evacuate his home. State police said Jewell’s neighbor, Robert Shatney, 44, was holed up and holding his wife and three children hostage. “The situation involved a domestic dispute with his family in which a firearm was involved,” said Capt. Chris Aucoin. “Shots were fired.” According to court papers, Shatney’s wife told police her husband began arguing with her over an affair he believed she had. At one point in the evening Wednesday, his wife said he stabbed a computer screen with a knife. She said the online profile of the man he accused her of having the affair with was on the ºscreen at the time he stabbed the monitor. His wife also told police he picked up a firearm, and she feared for the safety of her children. Two of the children pleaded for their father to stop, according to the court paperwork. Eventually, the wife and children escaped out a back window unharmed. “There were multiple shots fired, and the lives of not only police but also potentially Mr. Shatney’s family were placed in danger,” Aucoin said. Police did not say how many shots were fired. The standoff shut down about a mile and a half of Route 120. At 6:17 a.m., Shatney was taken into custody. “We were able to use crisis negotiators to speak to Mr. Shatney and to gain his voluntary compliance and eventual submission to arrest in a peaceful manner,” Aucoin said. Shatney was ordered held on $100,000 cash bail after being arraigned on a felony criminal threatening charge. Court records show that Shatney’s wife took out a restraining order against him in 2005. —Courtesy of WMUR

“Best Doodle Dogs Around!”

are pick of the crop BY JULIE HANSON THE UNIION LEADER

New Hampshire Commissioner of Agriculture Lorraine Merrill picked the first apple at Brookdale Fruit Farm in Hollis Wednesday, officially kicking off the season. Merrill read a proclamation from Gov. John Lynch recognizing New England Apple Day. The state’s 180 apple growers bring in about $14 million annually, according to Gail McWilliam Jellie, director of agricultural development for the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture. About 2,000 acres used for apple production in New Hampshire are worked by a new breed of small farmer that focuses directly on the customer. “We do a lot of retail and we’re proud of it,” said Chuck Souther of the New England Apple Growers Association. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service. New Hampshire took the No. 1spot in direct farm sales as a percentage of all farm sales. “It really is a New England trend,” Jellie said. Brookdale Fruit Farm has been a family-owned business since 1847. Pick-your-own apple services account for about 10 percent of the farm’s business, according to Chip Hardy, one of the owners. The farm uses low-oxygen storage technology to keep apples crisp into March. The produce is sold to Hannaford and Shaw’s markets, as well as to school systems. “We’ve expanded with the times,” Hardy said. Like many local growers, Hardy has been able to double his yield and keep production costs stable by switching from standard-sized trees to semi-dwarf and dwarf trees. The smaller trees grow higher quality fruit and can produce up to 1,000 bushels to the acre, Hardy said. Hardy said he expects to have plenty of McIntosh, Empire, Gala, Honeycrisp, red and golden delicious apples. Danny Hicks of Sunnycrest Farm in Londonderry said consumer demand for locally grown, fresh produce has helped him gain business as a supermarket supplier. Supermarkets like Hannaford and Shaw’s have an interest in connecting with local farms, Hicks said. “It’s a nice little circle that‘s working well right now,” Hicks said. Variety also plays a part. Hicks predicts that the Honeycrisp will be the popular apple this year. He described it as a smaller, sweeter apple that’s easier for children to hold and eat. The Fuji, a late-season apple that’s also sweet, will also have a good year, Hicks expects. Souther, of Apple Hill Farm in Concord, is also expecting a great apple season. “Overall, the weather cooperated this year,” Souther said. “It’s just working out really nice for us.” About 50 percent of his gross profits are attributed to the apple harvest, although he produces other crops such as strawberries and vegetables, Souther said. Out-of-state visitors have given a boost to farm stands in the last five years, Souther said. “A lot of people come to New England to visit farms,” Souther said. Leigh Hardy of Brookdale Fruit Farm has also seen an increase in local visitors who come for the hayrides, corn mazes, ice cream and pick-your-own apples and pumpkins. More people are asking about homemade jellies and canning as well, Hardy said. “It’s just a great family experience,” Hardy said.

FairPoint cutting 190 jobs in N.H. BY DENIS PAISTE THE UNIION LEADER

MANCHESTER — FairPoint Communications said Thursday it is cutting 400 jobs. “We value the contributions of our employees and workforce reductions are never easy,” CEO Paul Sunu said in a statement. “We are making this decision after careful evaluation to ensure that FairPoint is staffed appropriately to serve our customers well, while prudently managing expenses.” About 300 union positions and 100 management jobs will go. Managers will be notified later this month and FairPoint will follow prescribed steps in the collective bargaining agreement covering union employees, the company said. “Here goes another 400 really good, highquality jobs in New Hampshire and it is the continuation of the decline of the middleclass in the state of New Hampshire,” Mark S. MacKenzie, president of the New Hampshire AFL-CIO, said. “Our legislature should be more concerned about some of these jobs than some of the other things they are concerned about,” he said. A report Thursday on boston.com said 130 of the job cuts are in Maine, 190 in New Hampshire and 55 in Vermont. Another 25 jobs are being cut in the other 15 states where FairPoint operates. FairPoint said it expects to pay from $7 million to $13 million in severance, or incentive payments, to eligible affected employees. The company expects the layoffs to save about $34 million a year, with the full benefit realized in 2012. FairPoint Communications lost $27.1 million its second-quarter ended June 30, 2011. Revenues were also slightly off from the year-ago quarter. Revenues to $262.6 million.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis there are some you can’t see until you land in them. When you hit one, it’s best to get back up immediately and keep marching on. The only way to lose is by giving up. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). One way to change your destiny is to change the cast of characters around you. You’ll thrive among people who can understand, challenge and contribute to your interests. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). While someone else tries to persuade, cajole and manipulate people for status, you’ll show your social brilliance by taking a different approach. You’ll win friends with a smile and a listening ear. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Speak up, even if you know very little about the people or topic at hand. You may stumble clumsily into a conversation, but you express yourself from a pure place in your heart, and others will feel this and accept you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll dream boldly and differently. You’ll ask for what you really want, instead of asking for what you think you should want. Your wishes may not be granted, but this kind of asking will make you stand out and be admired. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 9). You’re a true original, and you’ll express your uniqueness in a special project. You’ll do what no one has ever done before, and it will work for you. In November, you’ll have a challenger, and this person will push you to deliver your peak performance. Lucrative business comes in January. May brings healing. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 41, 5, 33 and 17.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Check your drawers, closets, garage, barn, shed and attic to find usable and reusable possessions. You’ll find items to give away and items to make you smile and reminisce. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone will try to use an old catalyst to elicit a reaction from you. Little does this person know how much you have grown. You will be impervious to this person’s emotional stimuli. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll lend your wit to a conversation and win both approval and disapproval. Those who disapprove are clearly jealous. And those who approve may fall in love with you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have been delivering a consistent performance, giving a high level of support to those who depend on you and doing an overall commendable job. Therefore, you deserve the respect that’s coming to you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you are angry, use it to embolden your mission. Your audacity will separate you from the herd. Your force will be a wakeup call to others. The element of surprise will work in your favor. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll benefit from subtle self-promotion. In your charming way, you’ll keep others informed of who you are, what you do and what you want and need in order to make your dream happen. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Do not be afraid to accept help -- the more someone helps you the greater his or her investment will be in your relationship. Relationships become bonded in this kind of sharing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As much as you try to avoid life’s potholes,

DINNER DISASTER MAKES PARTY PLANNER WANT TO DISAPPEAR

DEAR ABBY: I am a confident, well-established administrative professional who has worked with an executive team most of my career. I organized a very large company party and, because my regular caterer didn’t specialize in the kind of barbecue that was needed, I took a chance on an unknown one. I had never used this caterer, but went on the recommendation of three colleagues I trust. In the end, it was the most humiliating disaster I’ve ever experienced. Not only was there not enough food, but it was presented in a sloppy, unprofessional manner. No beverages arrived, so we had to do without them for the event. I have never had anything like this happen before, and the responsibility was mine. It was embarrassing for me and the people I work with. I couldn’t even show my face. I stayed in the background trying to fix things as best I could. I can’t seem to get past this. I feel like a failure. I am seriously thinking of applying for a job at another company so I can put it all behind me. I had red flags along the way, but ignored them because I trusted the individuals who recommended the caterer. What are your thoughts? -- WISH I’D GONE WITH MY GUT DEAR WISH: You’re a perfectionist, and I respect that. But before you punish yourself by throwing away a perfectly good career with your current company over one regrettable screwup, please consider that NOBODY bats 1000. Yes, what happened was regrettable, but it’s in the past. It’s possible that the recommended caterer was also having a bad day. If you need absolution, discuss this with your employer. You have learned your lesson. Now let it go. DEAR ABBY: I’m four months pregnant with our second

child and dreading the birth because of my fiance’s parents. After the birth of our first child, I asked “Cliff” to allow me two weeks without overnight visitors so I could settle in with the new baby. That following weekend his parents called and said, “We’re coming, and we’re staying with you guys!” My mom and Cliff were the only ones in the delivery room, and that’s how I wanted it. I want it that way again this time. Cliff’s mom had made it clear her feelings were hurt because she wasn’t “being invited in.” Because my son will be less than 2 years old when the new baby comes, my mom will be taking vacation time to come and help me out. Is it wrong of me to tell Cliff’s parents they can’t come and stay that soon after the birth of the new one? Cliff and his dad act like long-lost frat guys when they see each other, and I find it irresponsible, childish and a sore spot in our relationship. -- PREGNANT WITH APPREHENSION DEAR PREGNANT: Your problem isn’t your fiance’s parents. It’s his inability to act like a mature adult. When his parents announced they were coming, he should have put a stop to it then and there. Because he seems unwilling to speak up, YOU must assume that responsibility, unless you want a repeat of the “open house” party that happened the last time. When you give birth your wishes should be paramount. It is not performance art. Your doctor will back you up if you make your wishes clear in advance. Cliff’s mom might have been more welcome this time if she hadn’t intruded after your last delivery. But, please, don’t place the blame entirely on her because it’s possible your fiance didn’t tell her you needed peace, quiet and time to adjust when they announced they were coming.

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

Wounded vets participate in Three Notch Century Ride ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

WHITE MOUNTAINS — Wounded warriors injured in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will participate in the 2011 Three Notch Century Ride, a 100-mile cycling ride through the White Mountains of New Hampshire as part of Team Warfighter Sports. British disabled veteran amputees will join them in this challenging ride on September 10 and 11. These severely wounded service members will join 300 cyclists, of which 50 are disabled, to tackle three scenic but grueling notches. Team Warfighter Sports includes wounded warriors who have sustained an amputation, spinal cord, or traumatic brain injury as a result of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the Team Warfighter Sports members is disabled veteran Army Capt. Jesse Acosta, who was hit by an improvised explosive device in 2003 while serving in Iraq, resulting in limited mobility to his right leg. After undergoing intensive therapy at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and participating in various sports rehabilitation programs offered by DSUSA, Acosta has been pushing himself to participate in extreme and endurance events to help and inspire

fellow veterans suffering from emotional and/or physical wounds back into society. In June, Acosta summited Mt. Kilimanjaro and now he is looking forward to conquering the White Mountain notches in one day. DSUSA’s Executive Director Kirk Bauer will be participating alongside the team for the third consecutive year. “Disabled Sports USA is pleased to provide opportunities for our wounded warriors to rebuild their lives through extreme sports activities,” he said. “Their participating in events like this one is an example of how far our wounded warriors have come in achieving independence through sports after their injuries.” Bauer is a disabled Vietnam veteran who summited Mt. Kilimanjaro in August 2010 with two amputee wounded warriors, becoming the first all-amputee team to accomplish this feat. The ride on Sunday will mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. A remembrance ceremony will be held in the morning and American flags will be attached to all cycles. The event is hosted by University of New Hampshire’s Northeast Passage, a chapter of Disabled Sports USA.

Laconia Savings Bank holds 180th annual meeting Laconia Savings Bank, the largest and oldest bank based in New Hampshire, held its annual meeting of corporators on August 31 and reported solid growth in deposits, loans and capital for the year ending June 30, 2011. The bank’s assets now total a record $1.08 billion and deposits grew to $868 million. Despite the soft economy, the bank’s loan portfolio reached a record $724 million as Laconia Savings Bank continued to supply much needed credit to individuals, small businesses and municipalities throughout the state. Most importantly, the bank remained strong with capital and reserves totaling over $124 million. The bank continues to be very well capitalized by all regulatory standards. At the annual meeting, Chairman Bruce Clow presided and commented on the continued strength of the bank and the solid growth it has posted over the past year. In the face of a long recession, Laconia Savings Bank has remained strong, solid and is now celebrating its 180th year serving the people of New Hampshire. President and CEO Mark Primeau reported that the bank now serves over 33,000 consumer and business households through a banking office network of 19 offices throughout New Hampshire. Primeau announced the planned opening of two new full ser-

vice banking offices in Manchester and Rochester. These additions will bring the bank’s office network to 21 locations serving most areas of the state. Primeau also commented that the bank has continued to support small businesses and was recognized by the Small Business Administration as a leading lender to small businesses in New Hampshire. Primeau stated that the bank continued to focus on our local communities. “As New Hampshire’s local bank, we invested over $1 million in over 350 local community non-profit and civic organizations throughout the state.

US Cellular’s Calling all Schools Voting kicks off Friday, Sept. 9 in U.S. Cellular’s $1 million Calling All Communities campaign. The wireless carrier’s annual competition will award 18 winning schools across the country with some muchneeded funding. The school with the most votes will win $150,000, and the next 17 schools will receive $50,000 each. Winnings can be used any way the school sees fit to enhance students’ learning experience. “This campaign is powered by the community, and we invite New Hampshire residents to rally together to vote for their favorite school,” said Eric Conlon, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in New Hampshire. “U.S. Cellular is committed to improving learning opportunities for students through our Calling All Communities campaign, and that is just one of the reasons we have the happiest customers in wireless.” From Sept. 9 through Oct. 6, anyone 18 years or older* can visit any U.S. Cellular store and ask an associate for a code to vote for their favorite school at uscellular.com and learn about the carrier’s cuttingedge products and services. Each online voting code gives the person the opportunity to vote online once per day during the campaign. Each voting card also features a peel-off sticker that gives thousands of school supporters a chance to cast two votes per day

or be one of 18 lucky people to win one year of free U.S. Cellular wireless service. Additionally, 2,000 randomly-selected voters will be awarded $25 U.S. Cellular debit cards simply for showing their school spirit. Public and private schools, kindergarten through high school, are eligible to win. No purchase is necessary, and you don’t have to be a U.S. Cellular customer to vote. The winning schools will be announced in October and November. For more information about U.S. Cellular, its cutting-edge device lineup, high-speed nationwide network and Calling All Communities, visit uscellular. com or U.S. Cellular’s Facebook page. –––––––––––––––– FUNERAL NOTICES ––––––––––––––––
