Arson suspected as cause of Glen Road fireGORHAM— Authorities are still investigating the

cause of a fi re at a vacant Glen Road building though have determined it was incendiary in nature.

Fire Chief Rick Eichler, of the Gorham Fire Depart-ment, said the specifi c cause is still unclear but the fi re Saturday morning at 2 Glen Rd., is being considered an arson. The Gorham Police Department is handling the investigation into the suspected arson.

Eichler said the fi re started in closet in a fi rst fl oor bedroom in the vacant building.

The design of the building cause the fi re to quickly spread from the fi rst fl oor to the attic, said Eichler. He added this made the fi re more diffi cult to fi ght.

The balloon construction of the building allowed the fi re to chase up the walls into the attic since there

aren’t any fi re stops within the building, said Eichler. In order to fi ght the fi re, he added, crews had to cut a hole in the attic walls along the ceiling.

There was no power going into the building, said Eichler.

The fi re was reported at 6:48 a.m., and heavy smoke and fl ames were showing from the building when the fi re department arrived on the scene.

Most of the crew cleared the scene around 10:30 a.m., though Eichler said the last person left at 2:30 p.m. He added people stayed on the scene waiting for the N.H. Fire Marshal’s Offi ce to responded and then secured the building, which has reportedly been vacant for nearly a year.

The Berlin Fire Department, Gorham Emergency Medical Services and the G.P.D. assisted the G.F.D. at the scene.

Firefi gthers run a hose to the roof of a Glen Road apartment building that caught fi re early Saturday morning after cutting a hole in the attic wall. (CRAIG LYONS PHOTO)

Board approves plans for silos at Pike IndustriesGORHAM— Pike Industries received approval

Thursday night to construct two 74 foot silos at its Gorham site.

The Gorham Planning Board reviewed the site plan for the two silos during its meeting last week and approved the plan. The board questioned representa-tives from Pike Industries to see if the proposed silos

would create an additional nuisance to residents in the area of the plant.

The board raised the issues of noise, dust levels and truck traffi c after several residents attended the zoning board meeting to bring up these concerns.

Ryan Crosbie, of Pike Industries, said the silos shouldn’t create any additional nuisance at the plant.

“I don’t think the noise level will be any worse than

Child Advocacy Center seeks to raise awareness about child abuse

LANCASTER— The Child Advocacy Center hopes to bring the issue of child abuse to the forefront and show people that it’s preventable.

This month, the Coos County Child Advocacy Center is dedicated to help raise awareness about child abuse, and show the community that it can help prevent it. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Representatives from the C.A.C. handed out blue ribbons Friday night and Saturday at Wal-Mart, in Gorham, to raise awareness about child abuse.

C.A.C. Executive Director Andrea Gagne said the center wants to show people that the com-munity can join together to help prevent child abuse. She added awareness is key to meet this goal.

“We’re really dedicated to the mission of the C.A.C. and helping to protect the children and


PUC grants Laidlaw conditional approval

CONCORD – The N.H. Public Utilities Commission late yesterday afternoon issued granted conditional approval to a proposed pur-chase power agreement between Public Service of N.H. and Laidlaw Berlin BioPower/Berlin Station.

The PUC said it found the agreement as fi led not in the public’s interest. It noted the PPA could cost as much at $2 billion over its 20 year term.

SAYWHAT...

NEW YORK (NY Times) — In an industrial and unin-viting stretch of Brooklyn, near several strip clubs and a factory that makes electrical tubing, Thomas Bernich’s small plant recy-cles vinyl and preserves a fading piece of history.

Recycled vinyl before it is turned into a record at Brook-lynphono, in Sunset Park.

In fact, Mr. Bernich’s work-place in Sunset Park is one of the few of its kind in New York City and in the country.

Inside the one-story, red-brick factory on 42nd Street, boxes of discarded albums from used-record stores are piled high on wooden pal-lets, awaiting their end and a new beginning.

The records are tossed into a large shredder to start the process of putting music on them again. The used vinyl is eventually fed into a press that creates new albums. “Taking rotten milk and breathing new life into it is not an easy thing,” Mr. Bernich said.

Mr. Bernich and the fi ve employees at his company, Brooklynphono, have pre-served the craft of applying music to vinyl.

Mr. Bernich stumbled into the record business after he realized that his talent for sculpture, which he stud-ied at the Pratt Institute, could probably not support a career. But while at Pratt, Mr. Bernich, 40, started col-lecting records, inspired by a friend’s passion for vinyl.

TOKYO (NY Times) — Robots deployed inside two reactors at a Japanese nuclear plant over-run by last month’s devastating tsunami have detected radiation levels too high for workers to enter, posing immediate challenges for a new plan to bring the ravaged complex under control by year’s end.

Workers have not been able to enter four of the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant since the early days following the March 11 quake and tsunami, which knocked out vital cooling systems at the plant and sparked hydrogen explosions at four of the plant’s six reactors, blowing off their roofs and littering the site with radioactive debris.

On Sunday, two robots made their way into two of those reactor units, opening doors, navigating radioactive debris and puddles of water to return with readings of temperature, pressure and radio-activity. The readings, released Monday, showed continued high radiation readings inside the reac-tors, ravaged in the March 11 quake and tsunami. At Unit 1, robots detected radiation of up to 49 millisieverts per hour, while at Unit 3, the reading came to 57 millisieverts per hour. But far higher readings in recent weeks have come from areas where contaminated water have accumulated, like the turbine building at No. 2, where experts say the reactor pressure vessel may be cracked and leaking nuclear material.

Radiation levels too high for workers in Japan

RALEIGH, N.C. (NY Times) — The reality of the devasta-tion of a storm that sent more than 200 tornadoes ripping across the South, killing at least 45 people and causing millions of dollars in damage, began to sink in Monday morning.

In North Carolina, where the storm killed at least 23 people and put hundreds in the hospi-tal, federal and local emergency workers were fanning out to the areas hardest hit and residents were scrambling to fi gure out how to help their neighbors or,

for the dozens who lost their homes, how to start over.

In the Raleigh area, the police kept residents from a mobile home park with about 200 homes where three young sib-lings were killed. In sections of this city of about 400,000, sev-eral major buildings were dam-aged and several schools and government offi ces were closed for the day. Traffi c into down-town Raleigh was snarled.

In rural areas, downed cell-phone towers and severed util-ity lines were likely to hamper

clean-up efforts.The storm, which began

Wednesday in Oklahoma and charged east for the rest of the week, brought winds as high as 165 miles per hour and spread challenging weather from New York to South Carolina.

Gov. Bev Perdue of North Car-olina, who said she was nearly in tears touring damaged areas Sunday, said she had been in contact with President Obama and anticipated that a federal state of emergency would be declared by week’s end.

Storms leave path of death, damage Yemeni opposition sets meeting with cooperation council

SANA, Yemen (NY Times) — Opposition leaders from Yemen said on Sunday that they planned to travel to Saudi Arabia later in the day to dis-cuss an agreement with the Gulf Cooperation Council on a time-table for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to leave offi ce.

Separately, on Sunday after-noon, security forces opened fi re on protesters who were march-ing through Sana, the capital, according to witnesses. At least 15 protesters were shot, accord-ing to doctors at a makeshift clinic at the main gathering area for protesters at Sana University.

The protesters were trying to march to the house of Mr. Saleh’s son, Ahmed, a leading military commander whom it is believed the president wanted to be his successor. The protesters had marched about a mile from the main sit-in area at the uni-versity, and witnesses said they were less than a quarter mile from the house when security forces fi red tear gas and live ammunition.

It appeared to be the largest such march yet outside the dem-onstration area in the capital.

The four build-ing blocks of the

universe are fi re, water, gravel and vinyl.”

CONCORD — The presidents of New Hampshire’s public colleges and univer-sities told state senators Monday that going along with the House plan to cut their state funding by 45 percent would make higher education unaffordable for many students and put a signifi cant dent in the state’s economy.

The University System of New Hampshire currently gets about $100 million per year from the state, which is spread among the Univer-sity of New Hampshire, Plymouth State University, Keene State Col-lege and Granite State College. Gov. John Lynch has proposed cutting the annual appropriation to $95 million, while the House-passed budget would cut the total to $55 million, a return to 1992 funding levels.

The current appropriation “is New Hampshire’s recognition that our democracy and our economy will depend on accessible, affordable public education,” said Sara Jayne Steen, president of Plymouth State. “Higher education both benefi ts the economy and transforms lives. In return on investment, education cre-ates more value than it costs.”

UNH President Mark Huddleston said he expects to end up with less than the governor’s proposal, but that the House plan would threaten the university’s effort to transform itself and remain affordable. Spurred by projections that show the average New Hampshire family spending 75 percent of its disposable income to send a child to UNH 10 years from now, the university has been making changes in how, what and where it teaches. Those and other changes take time, he said.

“The House’s proposed cuts are so disproportionate and so drastic that they would threaten the ongoing trans-

formation at UNH just as it is taking hold,” he said. “I am asking that you provide UNH with the support we need to complete our metamorphosis.”

Outside the Statehouse hearing room, students chanting “Keene State matters!” nearly drowned out the offi -cials speaking on their behalf. Inside, several of the presidents had students stand silently one by one in the audi-ence while they described how the students would be affected by the pro-posed cuts. For example, Kattey Ortiz, of Salem, is among 44 percent of stu-dents at Keene State who are the fi rst in their families to attend college, but she fears she won’t be able to return in the fall because she relies heavily on fi nancial aid, Keene State presi-dent Helen Giles-Gee said.

“The most important reason why a 45 percent cut is too extreme is that it will rob New Hampshire students of the opportunity to better themselves and their communities,” she said.

Others highlighted the university system’s economic impact on the state, which is estimated at $2 billion annu-ally, and argued that supporting higher education is critical to providing the state with the skilled workforce it needs.

“There is no doubt that the qual-ity of the higher education system is directly related to the success of the business community,” said Rich Ashooh, a former USNH trustee and executive with defense contractor BAE Systems.

Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Morse, of Salem, indicated senators aren’t looking to cut as deeply as the House but said it isn’t fair for university offi cials to blame the Legislature for all their troubles given that state funding makes up a small percentage of the overall university and college budgets.

Public college presidents warn budget cuts would hurt students

6-year-old and grandfather injured in motorcycle crash

FREMONT — A 6-year-old girl and her grandfather were injured when the motorcycle they were on was hit head-on by a car driven by a man police said was drunk.

Thomas Grenier, 47, of Epping, was arrested and charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated. Police said his car crossed the center line and struck the motorcycle.

“It’s a senseless accident because the operator of the car was intoxicated,” said Fremont Chief Neal Javrin.

Javrin said Joseph Therrien, 51, was taking a leisurely ride on his motorcycle with his granddaughter Sunday afternoon. They were travel-ing east on Chester Road about 5:30 p.m. when the crash occurred.

Grenier was arrested at the scene of the crash.

“He didn’t negotiate the corner at

all,” Javrin said. “He just went straight, right across the road and into them.”

Javrin said the injuries weren’t life-threatening but were serious. Ther-rien was taken to Exeter Hospital with chest, back and leg injuries. His granddaughter was fl own to Boston Children’s Hospital with a serious broken leg. Both remained hospital-ized Monday evening.

Javrin said Grenier called 911 and tried to help the victims. Javrin described him as remorseful, but said that doesn’t change the seriousness of the charge.

“There’s no excuse for drinking and driving, and if you are going to drink and drive, you should be arrested,” Javrin said.

Grenier was released on bail and is scheduled for arraignment on June 1.

Naked AggressionNobel Peace Prize winner President Barack

Obama should be impeached immediately then prosecuted for war crimes for making unprovoked war on Libya in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution, in abuse of the lim-ited War Powers Resolution of 1973, and in violation of international law prohibiting the unprovoked invasion of sovereign nations.

During his campaign for president, consti-tutional scholar Obama stated unequivocally and in writing:

“The President does not have the power under the Constitution to unilaterally autho-rize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”

The Constitution specifi cally reserves the following powers exclusively to Congress: “To declare War … make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; To raise and support Armies…; To provide and maintain a Navy; To make Rules for….. the land and naval Forces; To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, sup-press Insurrections and repel Invasions; To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplin-ing, the Militia…” and so on.

Libya did not attack the United States; Libya is not a threat to the United States. The pretext of “humanitarian intervention” is a transparent big lie.

If his humanitarian pretext was sincere, where’s our war criminal president’s similar concern about the killing of innocent civilians in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Pales-tine, Bahrain and Somalia, most of where he already has civilian blood on his hands? How protected do you think innocent civilians in Libya feel when the missiles and bombs we’re dropping on them are tipped with depleted uranium?

To understand how absurd on its face this pretext is, imagine if instead of the United States, it was Iran that invaded Libya. Do you think anyone would blindly accept that its credible intention was the humanitarian protection of civilians solely or at all?

Why hasn’t our news media reported that hundreds of U..S, British and French military “advisors,” including intelligence offi cers and special forces were dropped from warships and missile boats at the coastal towns of Benghazi and Tobruk on Thursday, Feb. 24 for a covert mission that included co-opting the uprising, organizing locals into paramilitary units, teaching them how to use the weapons they captured from Libyan army facilities, providing military and combat training and preparing infrastructure for the intake of additional foreign troops? (www.debka.com/article/20708).

As recently revealed in the New York Times, the leaders of the “freedom-loving” rebels are directly supported American puppets who co-opted and empowered the fl edgling rebel-lion, and appear to have in fact fomented and organized it to begin with. Just as in Iraq, we have our ‘Ahmed Chalabi’ in place to take over as soon as we overthrow Qaddafi . (http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/03/26/111109/new-rebel-leader-spent-much...)

These facts alone alter the whole complex-ion of this enterprise rather dramatically, don’t you think?

As an interesting footnote, why do the rebels in Benghazi use as their fl ag the red, black and green banner with the crescent and star (the fl ag of the monarchy of King Idris)

which symbolized the rule of the former colo-nial powers? Couldn’t the CIA’s graphics dept at least design them their own fl ag? I guess they thought we wouldn’t notice.

Of course, our true objective of invad-ing Libya is not the propaganda canard of establishing democracy or saving civilian lives, but twofold: 1. To take possession of Libya’s oil and gas reserves and transfer its wealth (including 3.5 percent of the world’s oil reserves, more than twice that of the United States) into foreign hands. For more on this see: (www.globalreasearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=23605) 2. with Libya one of the last sovereign nations (along with Syria and Lebanon) not under our domination in the Mediterranean, and Qaddaffi having refused to join our “Mediterranean Dia-logue,” NATO’s “Partnership for Peace” and/or the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), the United States is vitally interested in toppling and dominating Libya to cement its impe-rial grip on the region. (http://www.globalre-search.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=23940)

And don’t forget the billions of dollars of Libyan assets in deposited in Western banks that the United States and its confederates plan to steal.

The U.S. dollar is the world’s reserve cur-rency. If Libya wants to sell its oil to other nations it is obliged to accept payment in U.S. dollars. So the United States recently placed hard sanctions on Libya prohibiting any trade in U.S. dollars in anticipation of this planned invasion. Now international banks refuse to exchange U.S. dollars with Libya so they can’t sell their oil except via limited back channels, thus putting a severe squeeze on their economy. (http://af.reuters.com/article/energyOilNews/idAFLDE7271YJ20110308).

Our repeatedly tried and proven playbook for conquest, now being reprised in Libya is: 1. Destabilize the nation’s economy; 2. Foment tribal, ethnic and/or sectional strife via provocateurs, puppets and false-fl ag oper-ations; 3. Inject disinformation, propaganda and psy-ops directed within the country and to the outside world, especially in the United States; 4. covertly support with arms, money and training, then install and recognize our puppet(s) as our new “democratic partners.”

Sound familiar? Light the fuse, get away fast, use under adult supervision, right?

Further evidence of advance invasion plan-ning is the fact that fi nancial institutions which had prior knowledge or intelligence of events in Libya have already made billions of dollars in speculative gains in the futures and options markets for crude oil. Advance knowledge of political or military events and how they affect markets combined with manipulation and/or control of fi nancial news relevant to these events are indispensible to this investment racket.

It should come as no surprise that power-ful institutional speculators on Wall Street with links to the U.S. military and intelli-gence establishment are raking in billions of dollars in speculative gains not only in the oil market but also in the commodity and for-eign exchange markets.

Whatever one thinks about the policy of destabilizing, invading and stealing the resources of sovereign nations, it is illegal, unconstitutional and a war crime. Our con-gressional representatives, as corrupt as most of them may be, are being denied their

Instead of complaining, let’s do something

To the editor,This is a letter of thanks

and appreciation going out to a host of friends, neigh-bors, and community mem-bers who came together to help in a time of need.

Back in mid-March, two households in the village of Shelburne lost their water supply. The system in place is a little atypical: a moun-tain spring fi lls a reservoir and gravity draws the water through pipes buried in a hand-dug trench to the two residences.

The reservoir was checked and found to be full. How-ever, the fi lter on the end of the feed pipe was missing. It was thought possible that debris was pulled into the pipe and a clog was prevent-

ing the fl ow of water.Equipment was brought

in, a pump was purchased, and the diffi cult task of draining the reservoir began. The plan was to back-fl ush the line in hopes of dislodg-ing the clog. Unfortunately, this did not work. We feared that there was damage somewhere along the way between the reservoir and the two houses. More plans were made to start digging this very long length of pipe.

On day three of this ordeal, we were blessed to have some information passed on to us and the cause of the problem was discovered. On the same day that we lost water, excavation had been done on property where our

Sincere thanks to those who helped us

To the editor:I was born and raised in

the Berlin/Dummer area. So I know this area well. In my seventy plus years of living here nothing has changed very much especially the people. Just how long are you going to sit back and be taken advantage of. I’m talk-ing bout the gas, heating oil, and food prices. It cast so much more this side of the notch than the other side. Why? We pay anywhere from $.20 to $.30 more a gallon than the rest of the state.Figure 10,000gallon tanker at $.30 a gallon, nice profi t to bring it up over the notch.

Listening to the news there is no shortage. It’s just speculation on what might

happen that brings up the prices.

So instead of just com-plaining about the prices on the gas let’s do something. People need two vehicles during the week to go to work , but on the weekend park one and use just one. Instead of gassing up at the higher priced pumps because its convenient to buy the little necessities. Gas up at the lowest priced pumps. Give them the business and let the higher priced one sit on their gas. They will go down because their product will spoil. By cutting on the usage and getting the lowest price win, we all wil win.

In Appreciation The Family of Robert “Bob” Delisle wish to express our gratitude to relatives and friends for their overwhelming expression of sympathy. Food, flowers, donations, cards, associations and the tribute from the MRA are all very humbling. Our deepest appreciation to the Berlin Health Dept, CCFH, Dr. Temme, and AVH including the ER and Therapy Dept. Dr. McDowell and his Management Care personnel and the Med Surg staff need a very special thank you as the Nurses and LNA’s gave not only professional care but gave from the heart sharing our pain and concern. For all of this we will be eternally grateful. To Carl and his cafeteria staff for the outstanding consideration shown to Bob and all of us during our stay at the hospital. Thank you. We also want to thank Sr. Monique, Fr. Steve, Fr. Mark, Fr.

line runs...to bury a horse that had passed. Surely, damaging our water supply was not intentional. And, condolences go out to the owners of the horse.

A new trench was dug, the pipe was re-routed, and we kept our fi ngers crossed. It took two days of running pumps and drawing water before we were able to rid the lines of air and realize clear, clean water.

Considerable man-hours were spent, week-ends were sacrifi ced, labor was given, and equipment used. There was stress, worry, sleepless nights...and, money spent to rectify the situation.

We are grateful to have our water

supply back. And, we wish to thank and acknowledge all those who assisted with this unexpected crisis, for there were many. Included (not an entire list) were: Peter Genna, Peter Nickerson, Bill Davenport, Kevin Daniels, Jesse Daniels, Joey Daniels, David Landry, Roland LaChance, Dan Sarfde, and Bob Hickey, Jr. Also, thank-you to The Town and Country for their kind-ness in providing a room to shower, to Darryl Bennett for being avail-able short-notice, and to all others for emotional support and sugges-tions.

what it is now,” said Crosbie. “But it may be less because trucks will move quicker [through the plant].”

The loudest piece of the plant will be the existing burner on the dryer system, said Crosbie.

The new silos and conveyor system shouldn’t create much noise, said Cros-bie. He added there might be minimal noise created by the elevator or the small motors that run the conveyor.

As for the dust, Crosbie said there shouldn’t be an increase since the conveyor system up to the silos is cov-

ered. He added the dust levels could be reduced for this reason.

With the new silos, Crosbie said the truck traffi c will be less noticeable since trucks will move in and out of the plant quicker.

Crosbie said putting up the silos would help make the operation of the plant more effi cient. He added more product could be made and the loaded onto trucks in a shorter time frame with these two silos.

The Gorham Zoning Board granted Pike Industries a variance for the silos in March.

approximately $1.3 billion over the term of the PPA”.

The hearing on the PPA ran for fi ve days this winter and parties had until Feb. 14 to submit closing argu-ments. The city intervened in favor of the PPA and urged the PUC to rule quickly on the agreement.

The decision comes just days before Laidlaw/Berlin station is set to appear before the N.H. Site Evalu-ation Committee this Friday on its joint request to transfer the certifi -

cate of site and facility from Laid-law to Berlin Station. The SEC last year granted Laidlaw conditional approval to construct and operate a 70-megawatt biomass plant on the former mill site. Laidlaw has since announced reorganization and a change in its major contractor and fuel supplier. One of the conditions of the SEC certifi cate is an approved PPA.

Look for reaction to the PUC deci-sion in Wednesday’s Berlin Daily Sun.

advocate for children of the commu-nity,” said Gagne. She added the center is dedicated to educating people and eliminating child abuse in Coos County and around the state.

To further that goal, Gagne said the C.A.C. is looking to start more educa-tion and outreach programs in the county’s schools, with law enforcement and local communities.

Child abuse is a stigmatized issue, said Gagne. She added people know it’s going on but don’t really talk about it often.

Children are the most important part of the community, said Gagne, yet also the most vulnerable.

The C.A.C. is designed to be a child friendly environment, said Gagne. She added the center not only provides sup-port for children and their families but also makes sure they get any necessary follow up services and care.

The center started in Coos in 2009 and has since handled almost 100 cases, said Gagne.

Gagne said the C.A.C. is part of state-wide and national networks of advocacy centers. It is currently based in Lan-caster, though Gagne said the group is looking for a permanent location in Berlin, Gorham or Lancaster. More information on Child Abuse Prevention Month and the C.A.C. is available at www.nhncac.org.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Be bold, and don’t look back. You’ll still get the lesson. Your subconscious mind is processing everything you’ve done, even when your conscious mind hasn’t gotten around to it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It both-ers you when you know you have yet to win someone over -- but it shouldn’t. Not everyone is winnable. Concentrate on those who are responsive to you, and you will prosper. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will play a game that looks easy but isn’t at all. Talk to someone who knows this game better than you do. Also, you are wise to respond to feedback, both verbal and nonverbal. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This is neither the best circumstance you could have hoped for, nor the worst you’ve seen. Before you go to extremes, deter-mine what is necessary. Appropriately moderate action will bring you suc-cess. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even the very best ideas wear thin at some point. The law of diminishing returns sets in, novelty wears thin, and efforts lose their initial “wow” factor. If you know when to quit, you’ll go out on top. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will make a memorable impression when you concentrate your efforts. Do one thing better than everyone else. You already sense what “your thing” is going to be, and you’re right. Follow that gut feeling. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re not an open book, but you do reveal secrets judiciously. What you share with others in confi dence makes them feel important. They understand that

they must be very special for you to trust them with intimate knowledge. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The meal always tastes better when you’re hungry. This principle applies to your life today in ways that are not related to food. You’ll do something because you want to and for no other reason. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Pick up the phone -- it’s your magic portal to the life you want. Call friends and strangers alike. Make your pitch. Talk about what you want. You’ll schmooze your way into a sweet deal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You sense what’s on the horizon for your group. Also, you get the feeling that you can do what others cannot. It’s why you should take the lead. You’re more qualifi ed than you think. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be met with a completely new cir-cumstance. This fresh challenge jolts all of your senses wide-awake. And though you may not be sure how to handle it, you’ll learn as you go. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your approach may be contrary to the one that is popular, and that’s precisely why you’ll succeed. You’ll stick out in a very positive way. You’ll quickly gain mass favor. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 19). This year you’ll go where you couldn’t go before. A skilled diplomat, you’ll make friends in high places and enjoy exclusive and expensive arrangements. Events in June lead to advancement of your social and fi nancial plans. You’ll have an opportunity to improve the life of a friend or family member. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 20, 1, 24 and 19.

DEAR ABBY: Large numbers of veterans are returning home with a wide range of psychological diffi culties, many struggling with severe physical injuries or traumatic brain injuries. One in 10 soldiers reports mental health problems, while 30 percent of U.S. troops develop serious mental health problems within three to four months of coming home. Post-traumatic stress is a natural human reaction to hor-rifi c experiences. The symptoms of PTSD are greatly reduced if appropriate treatment is provided quickly to those in need. Individuals who suffer from traumatic brain injuries also ex-perience consequences such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse and marital diffi culties. And children whose parents suffer from PTSD are more likely to develop symptoms of anxiety and depression. Give an Hour is a nonprofi t organization that has estab-lished a national network of more than 5,300 licensed mental health professionals who provide free mental health services to U.S. troops, their families and communities affected by the current military confl icts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Each one gives an hour each week to provide free mental health servic-es to military personnel and their families. In addition, these volunteers work to educate the public and the military com-munity to reduce the stigma so often associated with mental health issues. Give an Hour offers immediate access to services for peo-ple who might fail to seek help through the military or Vet-erans Administration. Parents, siblings, unmarried partners and other loved ones are typically not covered by military insurance. However, they, too, are often adversely affected and can benefi t from the professional help our organization offers. Thank you for helping to spread the word about our ser-

vices. -- LAUREN ITZKOWITZ, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RE-LATIONS DEAR LAUREN: I salute your efforts. The service that Give an Hour is offering is vital, and I’m pleased to alert read-ers that it is available. Readers, in addition to providing easy and free care for as long as it’s needed, this organization is following the ex-ample of service embodied by so many of our military men and women. There are providers in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Guam and Puerto Rico. To fi nd one, log on to www.giveanhour.org and use the ZIP code search. If there is no pro-vider in your area, the organization can be contacted at [email protected], and a provider will be located for you. DEAR ABBY: My elderly father has been a widower for many years. His neighbor, also his age, recently lost her hus-band, and they have been spending a lot of time together. He takes her shopping, she cooks for him, etc. My concern is twofold: One, this woman is not in good health, and I can’t bear to see Dad heartbroken again when she dies. My second concern is the woman and her husband never even invited Dad over for a cup of coffee after Mom died, but now that she’s a widow, she all of a sudden wants to be “neighborly.” I’d like to ask her why. Would I be out of line? -- LOOKING OUT FOR MY DAD DEAR LOOKING OUT: Yes, you would. Your question would likely be regarded as hostile by both your father and the neighbor because that’s the way it comes across to me. While you may feel protective, please recognize that your father is an adult and, presumably, able to take care of him-self. At this point in his life he doesn’t need you to look out for him. Only if asked should you venture an opinion like the one you have confi ded to me.

“Power Sports since 1977”Some one asked the other

day,Hey Ray why the “since 1977”? Well here’s his answer. It all started out of High school, my fi rst bike shop job was with a gentleman by the name of Eddie Renaud. Renaud Honda. Eddie was a shrewd business man. Next came employment with Top Sports Plaza, yes the good folks of Top Furniture were involved in motorcycles and snowmobiles. I was very lucky to work with some sharp people at that estab-lishment. Next was a period in time, that a gentleman named Roland Leveille of Rocket Snow-mobile hired me. Roland was a guy who had the insight of an engineer, the repair vision of MacGiver,and the humor of a guy who was just, a great all around person. I learned a lot from Roland,

even a few choice French words. Then it was down to Gorham to Steve’s Sport Center. Steve Fisk and I started a long friendship, once again a gentleman who I was lucky to share some business insight with. Well in the summer of ‘92 I approached Ray Mulligan, and the rest is history; 299 Main St. Gorham,has been my address till now. Yes I had a couple of vacations in between. You ask what does all this have to do with my shop? Well through the years I have been very lucky to have learned from very diverse bunch of characters. The day you stop learning, is the day you’re done. I’m still blessed with awesome family, great friends,and best of all great customers!

So if you have a problem with your bike or sled, I might remem-ber that trick Roland showed me.

Berlin girls wallop Winnisquam and Belmont 16-3 to open season

BERLIN/BELMONT -- BERLIN 16 WINNISQUAM 3

The Berlin girl’s softball team put together two 16-3 victories in their fi rst two games, defeating Winn-isquam in Berlin Thursday and then traveling to Belmont on Friday.

Senior Sarah Landers put on a hit-ting clinic launching a pair of three-run homers, a triple, and a double, to lift Berlin to a 16-3 win over the lady Bears Thursday. The Berlin offense scored in every inning off of Winn-isquam ace hurler Carolyn Hujdusek. The Mounties stroked out ten hits and were the recipients of 12 walks. Four hits for Landers, three hits for Megan Hood and a game ending two run homer by Trisha Falardeau, were all keys to the Mountie offense.

Hood started on the mound for Berlin, picking up the “W” and throw-ing the fi rst four innings. Lander fi red the last two innings for the Lady Mountaineers. The duo struck-out three and walked fi ve in getting the opening day win.

BERLIN 16 BELMONT 3The Berlin girl’s softball team wore

down Raider starting pitcher, Kim Albert, by scoring tens runs in the last two innings, defeating Belmont 16-3 in a girl’s Division III softball game played in Belmont.

Berlin used a 13-hit attack, four coming off the bat of senior outfi elder

Marisa Lemoine. Rachel Thompson had a pair of doubles and a single, Sarah Landers two hits, and Trisha Falardeau a pair of singles to lead the attack. The Raider’s Albert threw an amazing 18o pitches, and was completely out of gas in the fi nal two innings. Allen issued 11 walks in that time span, with seven Berlin runs touching home plate on balls getting to the back- stop.

The Berlin defense had but one error in the fi eld. That made a winner out of Lady Mountie pitcher Megan Hood. Hood went the fi rst fi ve innings and was helped out by Landers in the fi nal two innings. The pitching combination for Berlin struck out seven Belmont batters and walked just one.

The Berlin girls will return to the fi eld on Monday to take on the Gorham Huskies.

Jeffrey H. Taylor & Associates to lead design charrette in BerlinCONCORD -- Jeffrey H. Taylor & Associates have

been selected by NH Dept. of Transportation and Lisa Mausolf, a preservation consultant, to lead a design char-rette in Berlin on April 29 and 30. The facilitated commu-nity discussion will focus on mitigating the impacts of a relocated NH Route 110 as it passes through the western edges of the downtown core. This project has been under consideration for decades and the design charrette is the next step towards realization of the project goals.

A design charrette is a graphic equivalent of a brain-storming session in which professionals from different disciplines within the building industry come together to address a design challenge. Currently, Route 110 passes through the gridiron street pattern of Berlin’s Avenues neighborhood. The New Hampshire Department of

Transportation has been working to reroute Route 110 through the western edge of the downtown core in order to ease the fl ow of traffi c and minimize its impact on the neighborhood. Concerns have been raised about the rerouting’s impact on downtown residents and busi-nesses. The design charrette will engage residents and stakeholders in the community and explore how to miti-gate these effects.

“We are so pleased to see this project moving closer to construction” said Pam Lafl amme, city planner. “Jeff Taylor and his team have long ties to the community, having assisted us with our recently adopted master plan. Their involvement in this phase of the project will be instrumental in advancing us one step closer to real-izing our ultimate goal of rerouting Route 110.”
