City passes resolution supporting the Conway Bypass project

BERLIN— The City of Berlin Tuesday became the latest community to pass a reso-lution supporting the funding and comple-tion of the Conway Bypass project.

The City Council unanimously voted to pass the bypass resolution after it received a request from North Country Council asking the board to consider it. The Gorham Board of Selectmen recently passed the same reso-lution.

The N.C.C. is circulating the bypass reso-lution to help gather support for the bypass project.

The resolution supports restoring the cen-tral and northern portions of the bypass proj-ect to the state’s 10-year transportation plan and states that removing those two pieces of the project would undercut the earlier work put into the proposal and ignore the needs of the North Country.

The resolution states that the governor,

Executive Council and the N.H. Department of Transportation should take the necessary actions to put the project back on track, fully fund it and build it.

Communities in Coos County have voiced support for the project since the area stands to benefi t from an improved traffi c fl ow along Route 16.

“It’s extremely important,” said Gorham Selectman Paul Robitaille.

Robitaille said the traffi c backup through Conway both inhibits the number of travel-ers heading north and makes it diffi cult to bring in or send out products.

He said travelers are kept from coming further north because of the dense traffi c. He added he’s heard that a lot of people just turn around.

For companies sending products out of Coos County, he said it costs more because of the distance needed to travel to Interstate 93 as opposed to traveling down Route 16. He

School seeks grant for biomass project

BERLIN— The City Council plans to initiate a resolution supporting the application for a grant that would allow the school district to start exploring the possible construction of a biomass boiler at the high school.

Superintendent Corrine Cascadden Tuesday night met with the council to talk about a federal grant that’s available to help fund the early engi-neering work the school needs to start moving forward on construction of a biomass boiler to help heat the build-ing. The council agreed to support the grant application, authorize the city to accept and use the funds, if the school system receives the grant.

Cascadden said she’s not sure what amount the grant application will seek.

Cascadden said a biomass boiler project was included in the capital improvement plan, and scheduled for 2013, but there is only some minor pre-engineering work that’s complete.

Zumbathon raises $930 for North Country Transit

GORHAM—For two hours Satur-day morning the Gorham Middle High School gym echoed with hot Latin American music, gyrating bodies, and dancing feet as a Zumbathon raised $930 for the Tri County CAP North Country Transit program.

The transit program enables people to get to medical appointments, locally and at greater distances, if they need assistance to make the treks.

With so many elderly in the area and the general exodus of young people in search of jobs elsewhere, the service is ever more necessary.

Beverly Raymond, the executive director of the program, thanked the

SAYWHAT...Ideas won’t go to jail.”

—Alfred Whitney Griswold

JAY, Fla. (NY Times) — Before he went to jail, Danny Ivey had barely seen a back-yard garden. But here he was, two years left on his sentence for grand theft, bent over in a fi eld, snapping wide, green collard leaves from their stems. For the rest of the week, Mr. Ivey and his fellow inmates would be eating the greens he picked, and the State of Florida would be saving most of the $2.29 a day it allots for their meals.

Prison labor — making license plates, picking up litter — is nothing new, and nearly all states have such programs. But these days, offi cials are expanding the practice to combat cuts in federal fi nanc-ing and dwindling tax rev-enue, using prisoners to paint vehicles, clean courthouses, sweep campsites and per-form many other services done before the recession by private contractors or govern-ment employees.

In New Jersey, inmates on roadkill patrol clean deer carcasses from highways. Georgia inmates tend grave-yards. In Ohio, they paint their own cells. In California, prison offi cials hope to expand pro-grams, including one in which wet-suit-clad inmates repair leaky public water tanks. There are no fi gures on how many prisoners have been enrolled in new or expanded programs nationwide, but experts in criminal justice have taken note of the increase.

(NY Times) — After an escalation in violence between supporters and opponents of the Yemeni government in Sana, the capital, this week, Pres-ident Ali Abdullah Saleh has instructed secu-rity forces to protect demonstrators and thwart clashes between the two sides.

“The directive demanded security services to offer full protection for the demonstrators. Fur-thermore, the government calls on protesters to remain vigilant and take all precautionary steps

to prevent the infi ltrations of individuals seek-ing to carry out violent actions,” Mr. Saleh said in a statement late Wednesday. “The Government of the Republic of Yemen will continue to protect the rights of its citizens to assemble peacefully and their right to freedom of expression.”

On Tuesday night, two anti-government pro-testers were shot dead by government support-ers during a sit-in in front of Sana University. At least 10 others were injured by gunfi re.

BENGHAZI, Libya (NY Times) — Thousands of mer-cenary and other forces struck back at a tightening circle of rebellions around the capital, Tripoli, on Thursday, trying to fend off an uprising against the 40-year rule of Col. Muam-mar el-Qaddafi , who blamed the revolt on “hallucinogenic”

drugs and Osama bin Laden.Weapons seized from the

military and handed over from civilians were collected at the Internal Security Build-ing near the High Court by civilians and soldiers in Beng-hazi, Libya.

The bloodiest fi ghting cen-tered on Zawiya, a gateway

city to the capital, just 30 miles west of Tripoli. Early Thursday, Colonel Qaddafi ’s forces arrived and unleashed an assault using automatic weapons and an anti-aircraft gun on a mosque occupied by rebels armed with hunting rifl es, Libyans who had fl ed the country said.

Discovery leaves Earth one last time

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. (NY Times) — With seconds to spare after a last-minute glitch, the repaired shuttle Discovery, grounded since November because of vexing fuel tank cracks, rocketed into orbit Thursday on its 39th and fi nal fl ight, setting off for the Inter-national Space Station to deliver supplies, equipment and a fi nal American storage module.

The countdown proceeded smoothly into its fi nal hour, but trouble with an Air Force tracking system computer threw the outcome into doubt. With the countdown holding at the fi ve-minute mark, the Air Force reported a success-ful repair. The countdown resumed and Discovery blasted off at 4:53:25 p.m. Eastern time — two seconds before the end of the day’s launching window.

Wheeling about and arcing away to the northeast through a clear blue sky, Discovery put on a spectacular afternoon show for area residents and tourists, who crowded nearby roads and beaches to witness the shuttle’s fi nal climb to space.

Mayor in Aruba, but board sets up a meeting

MANCHESTER — Board of School Committee members say they are ready to vote on next year’s school budget at a special meeting tonight -- even though some members will be unable to attend, including board chairman Mayor Ted Gatsas, who is vacationing in Aruba.

“I think everyone has this desire to get this budget completed, including the mayor,” said committee member John Avard. “If we’ve got a consensus of ideas, I’m prepared to vote.”

But Tom Katsiantonis and Steve Dolman say they are unwilling to vote with members absent; committee members Arthur Beaudry and Mike DeBlasi also have deep reservations about a Thursday vote.

“I’m not ready to vote. I’m ready to see if we can fi nally sit down together see what we can agree on,” said Dolman. “I don’t think it’s right to take a vote when not everybody has the opportunity to be there.”

Gatsas has been pushing board members to speed up the budget pro-cess and vote before the mayor’s March 31 deadline to present a budget to the city. Yet voting now, when he and other members are away, is unfair, he said.

“I think certainly on the biggest issue on a yearly basis -- the budget -- that not allowing 15 elected offi cials who represent this great city to vote on the budget is unjust,” said Gatsas, who is out of town this week.

The special school board meeting, which can be called by three mem-bers, was requested on Tuesday by Committee members Kate Vaughn, Chris Herbert and Joe Briggs. When the mayor announced on Friday he wanted the board to approve a budget on Monday, Feb. 28, the board felt it needed more time to discuss the budget, said Vaughn.

School committee members have been presented with three budgets. Gatsas and Superintendent Thomas Brennan’s budget would cut 200 para-professionals, but would likely lead to a nominal tax increase.

No sooner had my article on the photogra-phy workshop I attended in Utah appeared in Tuesday’s “Berlin Daily Sun” than an e-mail from a reader appeared on my com-puter. The writer had also visited the parks I mentioned, although some years ago, and she, too, had found them unforgettable.

She asked, however, if the picture accom-panying my article in the paper wasn’t a picture of Delicate Arch, in Arches National Park, rather than of Mesa Arch, which is in Canyonlands National Park? Yes, I replied, the picture had been mislabeled. It was Deli-cate Arch, not Mesa Arch.

She then noted that her fondest memory of the three parks she visited, all located not far outside of Moab, Utah, was standing on the rim of Dead Horse Point State Park. Situated 2,000 feet above the Colorado River, the Point does provide a spectacular view, as I mentioned in my article. And the story of how the park got its name does allow one’s imagination to take him or her back to the days when the cowboys of the area herded wild horses over the mesa and through a narrow neck of land to this point, which was then blocked off by a make-shift corral of the area’s natural resources. Culling out the best of the wild herd, the others were left to fend for themselves. Most died of thirst, with the unreachable Colorado River just 2,000 feet below them. At least, that is the story that seems the most likely, according to the booklet I bought at the Park’s Visitor Center. There are many other stories about how the Point got its name, according to the booklet, but none of them have a happy ending.

Something I didn’t get to see and pho-tograph while I was there was the work of nature that has produced the rough image of a horse. Carved in the area’s sandstone over

time by natural erosion, as the Dead Horse Point booklet notes, and “Called the ‘Ghost of Dead Horse Point,’ it is one more example of the fantastic things nature can produce.”

A couple of years ago, I was on a photog-raphy walk with one of Yosemite National Park’s photographers. As we stopped to set up for another landscape shot, the guide said to our small group, “You know, I’ve been here for over twenty years, and I never tire of it. The Park is always changing. There’s always something new to photograph for posterity.” Visiting our country’s natural wonders, one realizes how right she was – and is.

Allow me to digress at this point. Tuesday’s e-mail brought a second note. It was from our older son, Rik (Erik). (You must allow me a bit of fatherly pride here.) The note was brief and to the point, as most of our son’s com-ments tend to be. “I’m fi nally allowed to tell you that Merchants of Doubt is a fi nalist for the LA Times Book Prize, in the science and technology category! It’s wonderful news. I never expected to be there.”

Written with co-author Naomi Oreskes, “Merchants of Doubt” has created quite a stir among those interested in how vital information about an issue as important as global warning can be manipulated by those paid to discredit well-documented research. The book has brought both Rik and Naomi a number of invitations to speak about it and the research behind it in a number of places in this country and abroad. Rik will travel to Germany and New Zealand this year, for example. As he wrote in a follow-up e-mail: “It’s a great feeling!”

It’s a great feeling for his parents, too.(Ithaca Bound is the pen name of Dick

Conway. His e-mail address is: [email protected])

To the editor:My name is Matthew

Michaud and I am a fi re-fi ghter in the NH group 2 retirement system. I am not vested. When I fi rst became employed I was led to believe that I had entered a contract with the city and state that laid out how my life deci-sions should be made.

These decisions were based on the pension system, levels of contribution and retirement age. I may be only about fi ve years into my career but I can tell you that proposed changes to the pen-sion system by Sen. Bradley will greatly affect my life in an adverse fashion. I not opposed to reform, but why must it affect the ones who have already been promised certain benefi ts? The life decisions I have made based on these benefi ts started day one, not year 10. You take this away it is going to take away future insur-ance, college, mortgage, etc.,

monies and safeguards for my family.

I’m sure if you were wear-ing our fi refi ghter boots you would love to see your pension go away too - the pension you put your life on the line for and pay into every day. I will not be eli-gible for Social Security like most. I have lived up to my end of the deal for almost fi ve years. How is it right to now change my pension? In the fat wall street years cities and towns were required to pay little or no money while we fi refi ghters and police offi -cers continued to pay high numbers into the system. Now that we sit in a not so fat time you change the rules, how convenient.

Please contact your senator and representa-tives and Senator Bradley to support the people that risk their lives for you!

the volunteers who worked behind the scenes to put out each delicious meal.

Behind each successful fund-raiser there is a team of people who plan, coordinate and make sure that every detail is attended to. We would like to thank this wonderful team of people who include Lynn Leclerc, Sharon Hamel and Gina Saladino. These people put in countless hours to implement this fund-raiser to ben-

efi t of the children in our community. I would especially like to thank Michael and Sylvia Saladino for letting us invade their kitchen and for working side by side with the volunteers. Your energy is an inspiration for all. Our small northern New Hampshire com-munity might not have all that a big city has to offer, but we are so much richer because of willingness and abil-ity to work together to do great things.

BERLIN -- Audition call for Reader’s Theatre for Northern Forest Heritage Park’s Cabin Fever Event on April 30. Auditions will take place on February 28, 6 to 7 p.m. at the Gorham Family Resource Center. Actors should be able to read and proj-ect accents to recreate New Hamp-shire’s own storyteller Rebecca Rule’s “Crosscut: Life, Logging, and the Mills of the Androscoggin Valley.”

Crosscut refl ects on the early days of the lumber industry as well as the rise and fall of paper making in New Hampshire’s North Country through the eyes of those who lived it, as did their parents and grandparents. This is the story of the proud heritage of a community in transition. Using oral histories, Rebecca Rule recreates the voices of North Country people and uses new and vintage photos to tell the story of logging, the Berlin Mills, and life in the Androscoggin Valley, from the beginnings of the logging industry in the 1800s, through the boom years, and on to the demolition of the stacks in 2007, marking the end of an era.

The play calls for two men and two women, who will be playing more than thirty characters. Preferably, the player’s cast will be able to do one or more soft lilt accents representative

of the many nationalities who settled and made their homes in the valley. Accents, however, are not a requi-site. Differentiation of character and earnestness of expression are of far greater importance.

While the script is not meant to be memorized, the actors must be able to make contact with the audi-ence and use facial expressions and other actor’s tricks to make each of their characters believable, because as Rebecca Rule reminds in her script, the characters are real.

One show will be scheduled at Berlin Jr. High for students on the week prior to show at Heritage Park for the cost of one canned good to be donated to the local food pantry. The Cabin Fever event at Northern Forest Heritage Park will include live music, a visual display of Brown Company photographs with light refreshments.

BHS art student’s work shown at Friends of the Arts exhibit

BERLIN -- The Friends of the Arts exhibit is designed to honor the imagi-native and skillful artworks created by young people in secondary schools in Central and Northern New Hamp-shire. This exhibit is part of a long-term collaboration between Friends of the Arts Regional Arts Council and Plymouth State University. The intent of the exhibit is to provide the oppor-tunity for students and their teachers to explore and observe a wide range of media, processes, themes, and subject interpretations which promote self-confi dence in students to the degree that they feel free to reconsider their attitudes, their direction of study, and their future goals. The Arts Council acknowledges the growing artistic capabilities of the adolescent in han-dling materials and techniques by establishing consistent and sensitive standards for evaluation.

Approximately 16-20 public and pri-vate high schools participate in the exhibit each year. Art teachers are asked to limit their submissions to 12 artworks per school year. The over 200 artworks are then judges by a jury that includes one Plymouth State Art Department faculty member and a panel of New Hampshire artists, sculp-tors, and art educators. This selection process is to achieve a show of the

highest quality.Evaluation Criteria: Imaginative Content. Artwork

should refl ect interpretation and com-munication of ideas, and demonstrate a sense of personal expression.

Skill and Technique. Artwork should refl ect competency and inven-tiveness. Students are encouraged to push themselves to the limit of their technical abilities.

Observation and Inquiry. Artwork should refl ect the ability to work from observation and show evidence of inquiry and thoughtful examination. Additionally, it should demonstrate an ability to respond, organize and express such inquiry.

Berlin High School art students whose work was selected are: Samuel Aldrich, grade 11, “Right Above It”, pencil drawing, Award for Excellence in Drawing; Samuel Aldrich, grade 11, “Dawn Awaits”, oil painting.

Quinn Morrissette, grade 9, “Among the Fallen Leaves”, charcoal, conte and chalk drawing, Honorable Mention.

Robitaille said the bypass would allow companies to save on mileage and fuel costs to ship products.

The bypass, said Robitaille, is critical to sustaining and promoting economic development in the area.

“We really need to get that bypass,” said Robitaille.The resolution passed by the council and the Gorham

Board of Selectmen mirrors the language of the resolu-tion drafted by the N.C.C.

In 1995, the N.H.D.O.T. approved the nine-phase project, and have so far completed four of those phases. A third phase for a west side connector was dropped.

The southern segment of the bypass is still in the state’s 10-year plan, and schedule for completion in 2019.

The central and northern sections are no longer in the 10-year plan.

The idea for the resolution came out of a September 2010 meeting to discuss the proposed Conway Bypass project.

Those in attendance thought N.C.C. should circulate the resolution and interested communities could pass it, according to the minutes of the September meeting. The minutes add that the passed resolutions would then be forwarded to state legislators and Executive Councilor Ray Burton.

“This might get us started in that direction,” said Cascadden.

She said the district has been searching for grant funds to help with this project in order to limit the cost to the city.

The district began exploring options for biomass heating systems for the school buildings in 2009.

The high school became the most suitable location to place a biomass boiler because the land for the small plant is already there.

Cascadden said this project would also help the dis-trict reduce operating costs, and the biomass boiler would cut down on the amount of fuel that’s purchased.

She said last year the district bought 52,000 gallons for oil for the high school.

Based on the cost of fuel today, Cascadden said it will only keep going up down the road.

Ron Fini, Linda Morris, Mike Law (l-r) display some of the new wheelchairs purchased for AVH by the AVH Auxiliary.

BERLIN -- Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin is extremely grate-ful to its Auxiliary, which made the addition of new wheelchairs possible.

In 2010, Clare Vallee, AVH direc-tor of nursing services asked if an assessment of the Hospital’s wheel-chairs could be completed. Two volunteers, Ron Fini and Mike Law examined the facility’s entire fl eet and associated parts. In so doing, they determined that some depart-ments would benefi t by new chairs. A

request to the auxiliary for the funds to purchase six new chairs, includ-ing a modern child’s chair, was made, and subsequently granted.

It is the hope that the auxiliary will continue to fund three chairs per year to continue the effort towards the most modern, well-equipped resources.

If you’d like to learn more about the hospital’s auxiliary, please call Linda Morris, auxiliary president, at (603) 326-5678.

March 4, bone marrow drive to benefi t Larry Boucher

BERLIN -- Androscoggin Valley Hospital is teaming up with DKMS Americas, the largest bone marrow donor center in the world, to help save local resident Larry Boucher who has a rare form of leukemia or any other person who may be in need of a bone marrow transplant. Please consider becoming a bone marrow donor.

The process of becoming a donor is simple. Those who wish to become donors, fi ll out a form and have the inside of one cheek swabbed so that his or her human leukocyte antigen type can be determined. The informa-tion goes into an international regis-try. Should someone need cells of that type, the potential donor will be con-tacted, asked again if he/she wishes to be a donor, and, if so, tested further to see if the type would actually be suit-able. If you are found to be a match, there are two ways to donate. The donation method, determined by the patient’s doctor, will either consist of cell collection via the bloodstream or bone marrow.

Potential donors must meet the fol-lowing criteria: Be between the ages of 18 and 55; be in good general health; weigh more than 110 pounds; not be HIV-positive; not have severe heart disease; not have a history of cancer;

not have autoimmune disorders such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis; not have diabetes requiring insulin; not have severe asthma (daily inhalers are accept-able); not have hepatitis; not have epi-lepsy; and not have chronic or severe back problems.

There is no cost to become a bone marrow donor, but donations are welcomed to help DKMS Americas cover the $65 cost for registering a new potential donor, as the non-profi t organization does not receive govern-ment funding. To learn more about DKMS Americas, please visit www.dkmsamericas.org.

Every day thousands of patients search the Be The Match Registry in hope for a bone marrow donor match. Only four out of 120 patients are lucky enough to receive a transplant. You just might be the person to save Mr. Boucher’s life or the life of another person with leukemia.

A bone marrow drive has been scheduled for Friday, March 4, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Androscoggin Valley Hospital.

To schedule yan appointment, please call Donna Gdin, AVH public relations and marketing assistant, at 326-5607.

39th Mount Washington Auto Road bicycle hillclimbPINKHAM NOTCH -- Registra-

tion for the 39th annual Mt. Wash-ington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb opened February 1, at 8 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Any cyclist wishing to ride in this grueling race, held this year on August 20, may register at either of two web sites: www.mwarbh.org, the Hillclimb’s own site, or at Bik-ereg, www.bikereg.org.

Veterans of this 7.6-mile all-uphill bike ride know how important that registration hour is. Registration is fi rst come, fi rst served, and in recent years the fi eld has fi lled to capacity – 600 riders – in as little as eleven min-utes. This year many of those same riders, plus numerous other hopefuls, will be poised at their computers early on February 1, in order to complete the on-line application immediately when registration opens.

Sponsored by Polartec, with addi-tional support from international corporations as well as from Red Jersey Cyclery and other local busi-nesses in the Mt. Washington Valley, the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicy-cle Hillclimb is the primary annual fundraiser for the Tin Mountain Con-servation Center in Conway. For the opportunity to pedal up the unrelent-ing grade while battling Mt. Washing-ton’s famously high winds, elite and amateur cyclists pay an entry fee of $350. All proceeds go to the educa-tional and environmental programs of the conservation center.

Costs of presenting the event and conducting environmental education programs at Tin Mountain have risen substantially, while the current econ-omy has sharply cut into the endow-

ments and investments of non-profi t organizations such as Tin Mountain. The entry fee allows the conserva-tion center to continue its support of school programs that reach nearly 5000 students, nature camps for more than 300 children, a series of commu-nity nature programs, and other edu-cational and environmental events.

Entrants who wish to contribute further to the Center’s programs, or to help junior riders cover their entry fees, are invited to make an addi-tional donation. Conversely, riders who raise suffi cient funds in pledges can enter for free. Part of the entry fee counts as a charitable deduction for tax purposes.

Cyclists recognize the ride up Mount Washington as more arduous than the most diffi cult climbs in the Tour de France, and they enjoy the bragging rights that come with simply fi nishing. The Auto Road rises at an average grade of 12 percent, with a 22-percent grade in the fi nal yards before the 6288-foot summit. Then there’s the added challenge of Mt. Washington’s famously bad weather. In some years the winds have blown riders off their bikes on the upper slopes above the tree line; in others, rain, fog and general chill have made the experience all the more unforget-table.

The Hillclimb’s popularity is due also to its being an open event, in which amateur riders can compete along with professionals. Top pro-fessional riders in the Hillclimb in previous years have included world mountain bicycling champion Ned Overend, Olympic gold medalist and

Tour de France stage winner Tyler Hamilton, former All-American run-ner-turned-cyclist Marti Shea, leg-endary French cycling star Jeannie Longo, and course record-holder Tom Danielson (49:24, in 2002).

The size of the fi eld is limited by the ability of the road crews and race offi -cials to monitor the safety of all partic-ipants, and by the number of vehicles that can be parked at the summit to bring cyclists back down the hill after the race.

All riders who successfully register for the Hillclimb may also apply for the annual Practice Ride, which will take place on July 16 between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. There is no additional fee for the practice ride, but the number of riders is limited to 300, and the ride is open only to riders who are already

registered for the Hillclimb. Regis-tered participants will receive Prac-tice Ride registration instructions via email.

Cyclists who want to tackle the leg-endary Mt. Washington Auto Road but fail to get registered for the Hill-climb in August – or who think one race up Mt. Washington isn’t enough for one summer -- have another option. Once the Hillclimb fi eld is full, registration opens for Newton’s Revenge, held July 9, on the same course. The entry fee for Newton’s Revenge is $300, except that riders already registered for the Hillclimb may enter Newton’s Revenge for half price, $150. Newton’s Revenge also includes a practice ride, June 5.

51st Mount Washington road racePINKHAM NOTCH -- With new

faces among the organizers but the same daunting all-uphill course, the Mount Washington Road Race will once again this summer draw 1000 runners to the Mt. Washington Auto Road for the annual all-uphill footrace to the summit of the highest peak in the northeastern United States. Now entering its second half-century, the 7.6-mile “Run to the Clouds” will take place on June 18, with a new start-ing time of 9 a.m. Registration for the event’s entry lottery is open from March 1-15 at www.mountwashing-tonroadrace.com.

Directed by Josh Nemzer of DMSE Sports and Mary Power of the Mt. Washington Auto Road Company, the Mount Washington Road Race is one of the country’s premier running events, and demand for places on the starting line continually exceeds the number the race can accommodate. Thus, entry is by an on-line lottery system. Anyone wishing for a place in the starting fi eld needs to sign up for the lottery on the race web site no later than 11:59 p.m. on March 15. The list of lottery winners will be posted a few days after the cutoff date

see RACE page 12

for registration.As always, the race makes exceptions to the above

entry system for elite athletes -- runners whose recent performances indicate that they may be con-tenders for top places among the fi nishers, or whose past participation in the race have contributed par-ticularly to the event’s charisma. All previous win-ners of the race may enter automatically, and the previous year’s age-group winners are entitled to bypass the lottery through an exclusive invitation. Others with national- or world-class race times and outstanding performances in races elsewhere are encouraged to email the elite athletes’ coordinator, John Stifl er, to request a similar bypass, at jstifl [email protected]. To sustain and enhance the qual-ity of the race, the Mt. Washington Auto Road Com-pany last year secured the talents and experience

of DMSE, directors of the Boston Marathon and numerous other races in the region, to join the Auto Road Company this year in managing all compo-nents of the event. Former longtime Mount Wash-ington Road Race director Bob Teschek of Granite State Race Services, who retired from the job after the 2010 race, maintains his connection to the event, continuing to serve as its timer.

This year’s Mount Washington Road Race is part of the 150th anniversary celebration of the Mt. Washington Auto Road. Originally called the Mt. Washington Carriage Road, the road to the summit of Mt. Washington was completed in 1861. Rising through several different climate zones, and offer-ing stunning views of the White Mountains, Ver-mont, Maine and southern Quebec, the Auto Road is one of New England’s most spectacular attrac-tions.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be nudged into new territory. You can get grounded by affi rming that you are still the same you. In all matters you take on, get your own approval fi rst, and then it won’t be so hard to get anyone else’s. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Imag-ined limitations are to blame for many problems. Get some help with accom-plishing a diffi cult task, and you’ll fi nd out that it’s not so hard, after all. An expert will demystify the process. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Taking on too grave a tone could hinder your ability to attract certain people and keep their attention. Luckily, you have a talent for levity and fun, and you’ll need it in today’s interactions. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is no need to be self-conscious and overly concerned about what others think. It’s very likely that what you believe is a shortcoming is all in your mind. Forget about it, and everyone else will, too. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Drop the unimportant stuff so that you can focus on what means the most to you. There’s plenty of work to do if you want it, though leisure well spent is even more important to your thriving life right now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Having a strong opinion can sometimes increase your power, though right now so many of your thoughts and emotions on a topic are unresolved. Stay open-minded. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may be building up an event to be much bigger than it should be in your mind. This is not an end-all-be-all situation. There will always be another opportu-nity. Try hard, but don’t take yourself too seriously.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Second chances abound, and so do third and fourth chances. Tests can be retaken, mail can be resent, relation-ships can get a new start. Knowing this, ease up on yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People trying to sell you something will lead you to believe that there is not very much of it left in the world. This is prob-ably untrue. Relax and take the long view of things. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your sign mate Isaac Newton noted that objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. You’ll tune into the nature of those around you and adjust your expectations accordingly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Find a way to get sunshine and fun into your life, even if you have to look at pictures of the beach to accomplish this. The sun’s rays will dissolve your inner barri-ers to feeling fantastic and living the life you really want to live. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Pre-sume that your ailment has an easy remedy. With that mindset, you will quickly discover the solution, and oth-erwise, you’ll spend too much of your time and energy in “search” mode. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 25). You have intense energy and vitality and will focus them well this year. You’ll benefi t from advanced training of some kind in March. Your skillful management of funds will bring a higher degree of freedom to you and yours. In May, you will deepen your relationships through improved communication. You have a fan in Sagittarius and Aquarius people. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 3, 22, 39 and 16.

DEAR ABBY: I’m concerned about my friend “Nyla.” She’s 15 and pregnant. Nyla and her family are happy about it! As her friend, I’m not. I think she should have waited. I keep telling her that her life is ruined and she’ll regret having a baby this early, but she doesn’t listen. It would be better if she had help, but she doesn’t. Nyla’s family is poor. Now she is angry with me because of what I keep telling her. What can I do to help her understand me, and not get mad when I tell her something? -- VIRGINIA TEEN DEAR VIRGINIA TEEN: If you want Nyla to “under-stand” you, quit lecturing her because it’s only making her defensive. Defensive people don’t listen. How any family, rich or poor, could be “happy” about the pregnancy of an un-wed 15-year-old is beyond me. But your friend IS pregnant and she’s keeping the baby. So be a real friend and encourage her to fi nish high school so she can prepare herself for a job that will enable her to sup-port her little one. If she completes her education, the chances are better that her child will, too. But if she doesn’t, the re-verse is also true, and the repercussions will go on for another generation. DEAR ABBY: I need help. When we started dating, my (now) husband told me he didn’t care about past relation-ships because “the past is the past and it’s over.” Now he has begun grilling me about every boyfriend I’ve ever had, demanding details about every aspect of the relationships, physical, emotional -- whatever.

He makes snide remarks and asks if I would like him to track them down and if I’d like to sleep with them again. At fi rst, I thought he was joking, but it has escalated to text mes-sages and threats of divorce if I don’t tell him everything he wants to know. I have been sick to my stomach the last few days, and I think this fi ts the defi nition of emotional abuse. I don’t know whether to suggest counseling or just tell him to go. He was wonderful when we fi rst got together, but now he says marrying me was just a ruse to get sex. What can I do? I miss the person he used to be. He has always seemed con-cerned that I would eventually cheat on him, although I have given him no reason to think so and have assured him repeat-edly that I want only him. Why is this happening? -- SICK TO MY STOMACH IN OHIO DEAR SICK TO YOUR STOMACH: It’s because you didn’t really know the man you married. The way he presented him-self was, in his words, “all a ruse” to convince you to marry him “to get sex.” He appears to have increasing anxiety about how he measures up to your past lovers. Harassing you for details and threatening to contact them is, frankly, sick behavior. He needs counseling, and unless he seeks it immediately you should get out of there. If you stay, the emotional abuse could escalate to physical abuse. To ensure your safety, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800) 799-7233 and discuss this with a trained coun-selor.

Funky Divas at St. Kieran Arts CenterBERLIN - The Funky Divas of

Gospel will light up the stage at St. Kieran Arts Center on Sunday, February 27, at 2 p.m. in an excit-ing concert filled with great Gospel songs and music, just in time for Mardi Gras. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for students.

The Funky Divas of Gospel is a collaboration of a dozen talented soloists, musicians and choir mem-bers from the Seacoast area, whose purpose is to share an uplifting and life-affirming message through tra-ditional and contemporary spirit-filled music. The Divas are lead by Executive Producer-Soloist Jim White and Barbara Whitney, band leader-singer on keyboards, accor-dion and percussion.

The music is primarily defined as gospel in the southern African-American tradition with an R&B, Jazz, Bluegrass and soul flavor. However, they also include tra-ditional gospel songs and songs from other faiths and cultures as well as secular music which may have good news to share. It is roots music and toe tapping, hand clap-ping just plain great music!

According to Joan Chamberlain, Arts Center executive director, “The Funky Divas performances are fun and festive events and suitable for all ages. We heartily welcome everyone to attend this

exciting and high-energy Febru-ary concert designed to help chase away the winter chill. Don’t miss it!”

LITTLETON -- The Littleton girls defense held Gorham to just three field goals for the game, and went on to defeat the Huskies 53-21 in the opening round of the divi-sion VI girls basketball playoffs in Littleton Tuesday. The loss ended the season for the Lady Huskies.

Littleton had the Gorham girls well scouted and had the Hus-kies on their heels right from the get go, out pointing them 11-1 in the first quarter. Julia Winn had three hoops for the home team and Huskie Jessica Stewart had the lone foul shot.

The second quarter became a total dismantling of Gorham. The Crusaders out pointed the Huskies 22-3 by changing their defenses consistantly and completely frus-trating the Gorham girls. By the time the buzzer had sounded for half time, Gorham trailed 32-4. Six different Crusaders dented the scoring column, Huskie freshman Ella Montminy netted a pair of foul shots.

“I take full responsibility of not having the girls ready for play-off basketball,” said head coach Jean LeBlanc. “The atmosphere in the playoffs is unlike the regu-lar season. I have shouted instruc-tions all season from the sidelines. The girls couldn’t hear because of the noise level. One of our weak-nesses is our ability to recognize defensive changes. Littleton did that all night long with their half court trap, man to man, and zones. We didn’t get any kind of offense going all game long. Their coach-ing staff had us covered, including defensing our in-bound plays. It was a great job by their staff. They are peaking at the right time of the season and the hottest team right now. They will be tough to beat.”

The third quarter had a dif-ferent tone to it. Littleton held a slim edge in the scoring depart-ment 10-9. Winn scored another six markers for Littleton, Montminy

had four points for Gorham. “The Gorham girls’ trademark all season has been that they never give up,” said LeBlanc. “Down by 28 and not having a basket yet at half time, most teams would have packed it in. These girls refuse to quit. In the second half, it was our girl’s hustle that had Littleton standing around once in a while. We have struggled all year at the foul line. Tonight we shot 15-19. It was a sensational second half preformance. The girls don’t have any reason to hang their heads with the way they played. Especially in the second half.”

Littleton held an 11-8 scoring advantage in the fourth quarter to make the final score 53-21. For the game, Littleton was led by junior guard Julia Winn at 17 points. Montminy had eight points for the Lady Huskies.

The loss meant the end of the season for Gorham and the depar-ture of four senior players. Mal Coulombe, Alicia Vaillancourt-Locke, Val King, and Caitlin Bois-selle wore the Huskie blue for one final time in Littleton. “These four girls played an important part in the success of the team this season,” said LeBlanc. “Its always difficult for seniors to adjust to a new coach and a different philoso-phy style. These four girls, in their senior season, chose the difficult path and did everything we asked of them and for that we are grate-ful. They were great role models and leaders for our younger play-ers. These four girls will be dearly missed.”

The seniors on the Berlin girls hockey team: (from left to right) Manager Brianna Roy, Cassie Martin, Trisha Falardeau, Samantha Hallee, Molly Thagouras, and Jessica Hallee.

BERLIN -- Oyster River scored the fi rst three goals of the game and then held off a furious Berlin high school rally, defeating the Mountaineers 3-2 in a Division I girl’s hockey game in Berlin Tuesday.

The loss was extremely painful for the Lady Moun-taineers. It came on senior night for fi ve Mounties and their manager and it effectively eliminated Berlin from any chances for post season play. Senior players Cassie Martin, Trisha Falardeau, Sam Hallee, Jessica Hallee and Molly Thagourus, along with manager Briana Roy were honored along with family members during the evening.

The Bobcats scored the only goal of the fi rst period at 14:13. Sandra Strogen got the marker with assists going to Marissa Biederman and Jess Mark-Anthony for the 1-0 lead.

Oyster River increased their lead to 3-0 on a pair of goals in the second period. At 3:38, Melissa Ste-vens scored from Mark-Anthony and at the 6:06 mark, Strogen netted her second of the game unas-sisted, for the three goal advantage.

The Lady Mountaineers fi nally got their break late in the second period. Berlin went on the powerplay, when the Bobcats were whistled for an interference penalty. At 14:06 of the second period, sophomore

Morgan Ouellet scored the power play goal from Emily Landry and Christina Morin, making it a 3-1 game after two periods of play.

The Berlin offense got the home town crowd on their feet. Cassie Martin made it 3-2 on her own rebound shot. Team mates Falardeau and Sam Hallee got the helping markers.

Unfortunately for the Lady Mountaineers, the fairy tale or made for movie ending was not to be. The Bobcat defense stiffened and a late Berlin pen-alty kept the Mounties from any quality scoring chances.

“We got a great effort from our seniors,” said Mountie mentor Gary Boucher. “We were able to have Molly be announced as the starting goal keeper and then we pulled her when she was signaled by the game offi cial to see if she was ready. It is always very diffi cult for any player to get a season ending injury. It’s even harder when they are a senior.”

The loss put Berlin at 5-10 for the year. The Lady Mountaineers will take on St Thomas-Dover in their fi nal regular season contest.

Lady Huskies give Colebrook all they can handle, fall 45-40COLEBROOK -- Senior Kristen Call scored 19

points, including the 1000th of her career, helping the Mohawks to a hard fought 45-40 victory over Gorham Friday in Colebrook.

The Lady Huskies were shorthanded and had just eight players dressed. Head coach Jean LeB-lanc was not on hand either, having prior commit-tments. On this evening, this group of eight girls and Huskie assistant coach Pete Girouard left everything they had on the Colebrook fl oor. In their previous meeting, Colebrook defeated the Huskies 42-21.

The fi rst quarter was played equally at 9-9. Senior Caitlin Boisselle paced the Gorham offense scoring fi ve points. Colebrook’s Cass and Call had four points each.

In the second quarter, it was all Gorham, out pointing the Mohawks 17-6 to take a 26-15 lead into the locker room. Ella Montminy and Jessica Stewart scored fi ve points each to lead the attack. Colebrook got a three-point shot from Call in the

second quarter.“The girls were focused,” said Gorham coach Pete

Girouard. “They played one of their better games of the year and really had a great second quar-ter. They limited their turnovers and attacked the Colebrook zone. It was great to see their intensity and focus. They just never give up.”

The momentum changed in the fi rst minute of the third quarter. Call came out on fi re and nailed a pair of three balls and a long jumper to get her team back in the game. By periods end, Colebrook was up 31-30 as time was winding down. Mont-miny launched a shot by mid-court that found the bottom of the basket to put Gorham back on top heading into the fi nal quarter 33-31.

However, in the fourth quarter, the Lady Hus-kies appeared to be running out of gas with the short bench. Huskie sophomore, Jessica Stewart, departed with over fi ve minutes to play, leaving a short bench even shorter. Colebrook’s Jose Bru-neault hit three hoops and Call added another four points to out score Gorham 14-7 in the fourth quar-ter, making the fi nal 45-40. Huskie junior Jaimie

Bisson had a pair of hoops, trying her best to keep Gorham within range.

For the game, Colebrook hit on 17 shots from the fl oor, four were three-pointers from Call. The Mohawks shot 7-19 from the foul line. Call 19 points and Brunault 12 markers paced the Cole-brook offense. Gorham converted 16 shots from the fl oor and connected on 7-20 from the foul line. Montminy 13 and Boisselle 10 points led the Lady Huskie offense.

The Gorham girls fi nish their regular season of play at 7-11 and will be the 14th seed in the up-coming playoffs. It appears that on Tuesday eve-ning, Gorham will travel to Littleton to take on the third seeded Crusaders.

Panthers hold off Lady Huskies late, 38-32GORHAM -- The Moultonborough Panthers

out-scored Gorham 11-6 in the final quarter and went on to defeat the Huskies 38-32 in Gorham Friday.

It was senior night for four Gorham girls. Mallory Coulombe, Alicia Vaillancourt-Locke, Valerie King, and Caitlin Boisselle. The seniors and their families were honored by the school’s athletic director, Dan Gorham.

In the first quarter, both teams played very good basketball. The visiting Panthers led 11-7 after the first quarter, on the strength of Ashley McDonald’s five points. Boisselle knocked down a 3-pointer for the Lady Huskies.

The second quarter turned into defensive half court sets. Both teams played ball control bas-ketball, with the Gorham team drawing closer by half time 15-13. Ella Montminy, Jessica Stewart, and Jaimie Bisson all had buckets for the home team.

The third quarter was up and down the floor action, resembling a track meet. Both teams did a good job in transition. The Huskies trimmed another point off their deficit and trailed 27-26 after three quarters. Ella Montminy netted seven points and Vaillancourt-Locke added two hoops for Gorham. Panther scorer Morgan Fuller had five points for the visitors.

The Panthers looked to be putting Gorham away late in the final quarter, getting out to

a 36-29 advantage. Junior Jaimie Bisson hit a three point shot getting Gorham to within four at 36-32. The Huskies made a defensive stop and had a chance to get within a possession, with less than a minute to play.

Gorham got off a good shot, unfortunately the three point attempt did not fall and he Huskies had to foul. Moultonborough sniper Fuller went to the foul line and knocked down both foul shots to make it 38-32. Gorham’s last chance was off the mark and the Panther’s had their hard fought win.

“We are so close,” said Gorham mentor Jean LeBlanc. “We are playing good basketball, and its the right time of the year to be peaking. We seem to fall into the trap of playng to the level of our opponents. When we decide to play our style of basketball, we should have some success against the top 10 teams.”

The Gorham girls will have all week to pre-pare for their final game of the season on Friday at Colebrook. Gorham will be on the road for their opening round playoff game on Tuesday.

Bennett too tall for Lady Mountaineers, 41-35

WHITEFIELD -- Spartan Bry-anna Bennett scored 28 points and lifted the girls White Mountain bas-ketball team to an emotional 41-35 victory over Berlin in Whitefi eld recently.

The Berlin girls led 8-4 after the fi rst quarter. However, the Spartans stormed back in the second quarter and out scored Berlin 14-7 to lead18-15 at half time. Bennett thirteen points and Hollie Crane fi ve points, did all of the Spartan scoring. Senior Moriah Arsenault had three three-pointers for the visiting Mountain-eers.

The third quarter was played to a 10-10 tie, making the score 28-25 after three periods of play. Sarah Landers had six of Berlin’s points. Bennett had all 10 points for the Spartans.

White Mountains held strong down the stretch to win by six points. Bennett scored fi ve points and Payton Curtis four points, pacing the Spartan offense. Landers added another seven points for Berlin.

“We have been playing much better defense as a team of late and that has kept us in games,” said Berlin mentor Sean Walsh. “The girls have been com-municating effectively on the fl oor and making good defensive decisions to reduce the number of open looks teams have been getting offensively. We had

a hard time matching Bennett’s height and offensive rebounding efforts (14 offensive rebounds-lead-ing to 14 put back points) so we are going to have to fi gure out how to deal with height issues going for-ward if we want to get beyond the fi rst round of the playoffs.I am really proud of how hard our girls worked and especially how they handled themselves on a very emotional night at White Mountain. (The Spar-tans had a player with a knee injury and later learned that she was diag-nosed with cancer) We certainly have girls within this program with a lot of class. The wins and losses are really not the most important things sometimes and we all lose sight of that far too often, including myself. After all Basketball is just a game.”

For the game, the Spartans shot 18-41 from the fl oor and 5-7 from the foul line. Bennett was simply the difference in the game netting 28 points. Berlin shot 11-37 from the fi eld and 9-10 from the foul line. Landers scored a season high 15 for Berlin, including 9-10 from the foul line. Arsenault chipped in with an additional 11 points for the Berlin girls.

The Lady Mountaineers will await the opening round of the play-in game for the division III layoffs.

Flynn, and Doug Willey.Injuries and a lack of defense over

the fi nal fi ve games, could be construed as reasons to Gorham’s demise down the stretch. Teams scored an average of 69.2 points per game against the Huskies, in those fi nal fi ve losses.

The Huskies did their best to stay close in the fi rst half. At intermission, Gorham trailed by eight points at 30-22. Sam Jensen and Michael Tur-geon had six points each for the vis-iting Huskies. Patriot Henry Weekes was hot for the home team netting 14 of his teams’ points in the fi rst half.

Profi le came out with a vengence in the third quarter and completely domi-nated the period to open a 55-24 lead. A full court press led to turnovers and easy buckets for Profi le. The Huskies just never got back down the fl oor on defense, which led to several lay-ups. Garette Brusseau had the hot hand netting nine points. Turgeon had the lone basket for the Gorham boys.

Both clubs utilized their benches in the fourth quarter, to make the fi nal score 66-39. Turgeon had a pair of hoops in the last quarter for Gorham. Junior forward Allen Komiserak had two buckets for the home team.

For the game, Profi le netted 28 shots from the fl oor and converted six of ten foul shots. Weekes 20 points, Komisarek 15 points, and Brusseau 14 markers, were a big part of the Patriot offense. The Huskies were good on 16 shots from the fl oor and one for fi ve from the foul line. Turgeon led Gorham with twelve points.
