Selectmen get update on state of crime in Gorham

GORHAM — An update from the chief of police topped the agenda for the Gorham Selectmen on Monday night. Chief PJ Cyr apprised the board of recent personnel updates before detailing crime trends for the last three years.

The board was introduced to the depart-

ment’s seventh and newest member, offi -cer Eric Benjamin, who was the last man standing after an application process that drew 16 applicants, Cyr said. Benjamin is a Berlin native and BHS and White Mountain Community College grad, with a degree in criminal justice. Cyr told the board that Benjamin recently worked for

Two Berlin boys will hit the woods for the Hunt of a Lifetime this weekend. The youngsters, Cody Beaudette and Joshua Guay, were given their moose hunting permits by Fish and Game Lt. Doug Gralenski (center) at a special ceremony in Lancaster on Thursday. The boys will take to the woods fi rst thing on Saturday morning with their guides, Leo Roberge and Steve Cass, pictured at far left and right respectively, with Beaudette center left and Guay center right. Hunt of a Lifetime is a program that provides hunting opportunities to young people under the age of 21 with life-threatening diseases. Gralenski said that legislation in 2008 allows Fish and Game to award two of these special permits annually, but this program is a community and region-wide effort receiving donations of equipment, fi rearms and services from Ruger, Thompson Centerfi re, Mark Dubreuil Taxidermy, Rut and Strut Taxidermy, White Mountain Chalet, Tall Timbers Lodge, Twin Maple Farms, LeMay’s Butcher Shop, LL Cote, Cabela’s, Coca Cola, and Anheuser-Busch. Missing from the photo is guide Mark Edwards. Both families plan to donate a portion of the meat to local food pantries. (MELISSA GRIMA PHOTO)

SAYWHAT...Candy is dandy but liquor is

ATLANTA (NY Times) — Drink up, America. The gov-ernment needs the money.

With cities across the country facing their fi fth straight year of declining revenues and states cut-ting services and laying off workers, raising money from people who enjoy a cocktail is becoming an increasingly attractive option.

Since the recession started in earnest in 2008, dozens of states and cities have tinkered with laws that regulate alcohol sales as a way to build up their budgets.

Twelve states have raised taxes on alcohol or changed alcohol laws to increase revenue, including Mary-land, which in July pushed the sales tax on alcohol to 9 percent, from 6 percent — the fi rst such increase in 38 years and one that is expected to bring in $85 mil-lion a year.

In November, voters in Atlanta and elsewhere in Georgia will decide whether to repeal colonial-era laws that ban alcohol sales on Sunday.

People touring the Jack Daniel’s distillery in Lynch-burg, Tenn., may fi nally be able to have a sip now that the state has loosened laws to allow tastings as part of a package of changes intended to attract more alcohol-related business to the state.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The House on Thursday gave quick approval to a stopgap spending bill that will fi nance the government for the fi rst four days of October, until lawmak-ers can return and vote on a more ambitious seven-week spending bill.

The stopgap bill, passed Monday by the Senate, goes now to President Obama, who is expected to sign it.

The House action came in a brief session attended by just a few lawmakers. Both houses

of Congress are in recess, holding only pro forma sessions like the one on Thursday.

A partisan fi ght over the stopgap spending bill had raised the possibility that the government might have to shut down many of its operations starting on Saturday, the fi rst day of the new fi scal year.

The fi ght, like so many on Capitol Hill this year, involved a dispute over money, as Republi-cans and Democrats disagreed over how to pay for assistance to victims of natural disasters like hurricanes, fl oods, tornadoes and wildfi res.

House approves stopgap spending bill

(NY Times) — It has hap-pened time and again in recent months as Europe’s debt crisis has played out. Stocks stage a remarkably strong comeback on expectations that a solu-tion has been found. Then they quickly resume their decline as hopes dissipate, leaving inves-tors puzzled and frazzled.

The problem, say close watch-ers of both the subprime fi nancial crisis in 2008 and the European government debt crisis today, is that many investors think there

is a quick and easy fi x, if only gov-ernment offi cials can come to an agreement and act decisively.

In reality, one might not exist. A best case in Europe is a bailout of troubled govern-ments and their banks that keeps the fi nancial system from experiencing a major shock and sending economies worldwide into recession.

But a bailout doesn’t mean wiping out the huge debts that have taken years to accumulate — just as bailing out Ameri-

can banks in 2008 didn’t mean wiping out the huge amount of subprime debt that homeowners had borrowed but couldn’t repay. The problem — too much debt — could take many years to ease.

”Everybody has been living beyond their means for nearly the last decade, so it is an adjustment that will be painful and long, and it will test the resilience of societ-ies socially and politically,” said Nicolas Véron, a senior fellow at Bruegel, a research organization in Brussels.

Even if Europe averts crisis, growth may lag for years

Pro-Assad protest temporarily traps U.S. diplomat

BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Dozens of pro-government Syrians attempted to assault an American diplomatic delegation that included the ambassador on Thursday, striking their motorcade as they traveled to a meeting with an opposition fi gure in Damascus and then trying to break into an offi ce where the meeting was held, essentially trapping the partici-pants inside for 90 minutes.

The United States protested the episode and suggested that the attackers had been deliberately allowed to harass the diplomatic delegation by Syrian security forces, who arrived belatedly to pro-vide safe passage for the Americans to leave. The ambassador, Robert S. Ford, an outspoken critic of Syria’s President, Bashar al-Assad, was reported safe but some vehicles in his motorcade were damaged.

“We condemn this unwarranted attack in the strongest possible terms,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a state-ment. “Ambassador Ford and his aides were conducting normal embassy business and this attempt to intimidate our diplomats through violence is wholly unjustifi ed.”

UNH could cut jobs to deal with defi cits

DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire is expected to cut more jobs as a result of major budget defi -cits projected for the next two fi scal years, offi cials said yesterday.

UNH is facing a $13 million defi -cit next fi scal year and a $21 million shortfall the year after that, accord-ing to a letter President Mark Hud-dleston issued yesterday. The current fi scal year that began in July is run-ning a $2.2 million defi cit.

“These numbers could be exacer-bated further if we do not realize our targets for the separation incentive program (also known as buyouts), for which the remaining application deadlines fall at the start of Novem-ber and January,” Huddleston wrote

in a public letter released Wednesday. “They also assume level state funding, which is uncertain.”

The shortfalls are largely the result of a $32.5 million cut in state fund-ing during the last Legislature, Hud-dleston said. That reduction was dealt with by freezing wages and hiring, slicing benefi ts, cutting expenses, raising in-state tuition and offering buyouts to long-time employees, but those initiatives proved to be just stopgap measures.

To deal with the future budget holes, more will have to be done, including “staff reductions,” said David Proulx, the associate vice president for fi nance.

“We do have to make major expense reductions,” he said yesterday. “We are looking at vertical cuts. We don’t know what those are yet, but there are areas that we do have to focus on.”

State facing ‘silver tsunami’ of senior citizen residents

CONCORD — New Hampshire is facing what a Concord think tank calls a “silver tsunami” of residents over age 65 in less than 20 years.

The New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies said the age factor will create increasing pressure on health care costs as hospitals look to the private sector to make up for low payments they get from Medicare and Medicaid.

Steve Norton, the center’s executive director, said roughly one-third of the state’s population will be over 65 by 2030. That age group now makes up 14 percent of the state’s population.

The shift in aging will come through a combination of aging baby boomers born through the early 1960s, current

low birth rates and slowing migration of young families to the state.

“We can get ahead of the aging trend with right policies,” Norton said. “We are 10 years away from it, we’re in our economic prime, now is the time to be thinking about it.”

Norton said school budgets will feel pressure, too, as districts see popula-tions edge downward but not so deeply to allow big cuts in services. Averages costs per pupil will rise more rapidly if current trends continue, he said.

One step the state can take now is to shift resources into developing a more skilled workforce. Norton said the state should invest in what he called “human capital,” to help grow business and attract new workers.

Examining the state’s education and transportation systems are good places to start, he said.

The year is 1630. The date is 30 Septem-ber. The place is Plymouth Colony. The event is the fi rst recorded execution of a duly tried and convicted murderer in the still young and struggling to survive English colonies in America. The man soon to be hanged by the neck until dead is John Billington (c.1580-1630).

According to the all-too-few existing records of his life, Billington was hardly a model citi-zen of the Pilgrim colony of Plymouth. He was not a member of the Brownist group seeking religious freedom in the New World that made up part of the 102-passengers that sailed on the “Mayfl ower” ten years earlier. He and his family, a wife and two sons, had been a part of the other half of the passenger list that had been sent by the London Com-pany, chartered by the King of England to establish a profi table colony in the resources-rich New World.

From the start, there had been bad blood between the two groups, and the Billingtons were seen as being among the main trouble-makers. A near mutiny would be narrowly averted during the Atlantic crossing, and, although he denied being a part of it, Billing-ton was seen as one of the instigators. During the voyage, one of Billington’s sons had set off a fi rearm in one of the cabins, luckily missing a partly-fi lled keg of black powder that could have blown the entire ship apart.

Although he would sign the Mayfl ower Compact, Billington had been among those who had wanted the London Company to go its own way, once it became clear that the ship would not land anywhere near its intended destination. Only more reasonable heads had kept the entire company together, a necessity, if they were to survive the fast-closing winter in a strange new place.

According to “Of Plymouth Plantation 1620-1647” written by William Bradford, who governed the colony during those fi rst years of its existence, the Billingtons were often in trouble with authorities. “He and some of his had been often punished for miscarriages before, being one of the profanest families amongst them; they came from London, and I know not by what friends shuffl ed into their company.” In a letter written to a friend in 1625, Bradford would write of Billington, “Billington still rails against you, and threat-ens to arrest you, I know not wherefore; he is a knave and so will live and die.” Clearly, Bradford did not have much personal regard for John Billington, and one can only wish that there were more contemporary commen-tary available.

In 1630, the now 50-year old Billington committed the act that would mark him as the fi rst man to be executed for murder in the English colonies. John Newcomen was among those who came to Plymouth Colony in the years following the 1620 settlement. For some reason not explained in the record, he and John Billington had had a quarrel. Bad blood had evidently continued between them, and Billington had ended the feud by shoot-ing and fatally wounding his young enemy.

Bradford’s brief account of the trial, as found in records kept in the Pilgrim Hall Museum, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, says that all due diligence was given the matter. Billington “was arraigned, and both by grand and petty jury found guilty of wilful murder, by plain and notorious evidence. And was for the same accordingly executed.”

And so, on 30 September 1630, John Bill-ington became the fi rst man to be tried and executed for murder by his fellow citizens in the young English colonies of America.

Saturday, October 29: Ghosts on Mount Washington Since 1849, 145 people have lost their lives on Mount Washington and the surrounding presidential range. Tonight Joan Veilleux will tell us the true sto-ries of debutant Lizzie Bourne and climber Ned Green. She will share with us her personal encounters of what may have been their “presence” while climbing the mountain and working as a ranger on the summit. You decide! In 2003, while working as a naturalist for the AMC, she dis-covered a love for storytelling. Since then Joan has presented on numer-ous occasions with the Mountain Story Teller’s Guild in and around the Mount Washington Valley. For the last 10 years Joan has worked as a mountain guide both in summer and

in winter for the Eastern Mountain Sports Climbing School, the Inter-national Mountain Climbing School, and New England Hiking Holidays. She enjoys telling stories with her clients on and off the trail here in the White Mountains, and particularly on Mount Washington, one of her favorite places to climb.

Programs are at 8 p.m., and are free and open to the public.

BERLIN — Feedback is in on how the public received the three sobriety checkpoints held by the Berlin Police over the summer. Among those who responded, the single most prevalent comment was that the checkpoints would be more effective if they were not advertised.

“The only thing that I can think would inhibit an effective check-point is the public news announce-ment that advertises which week the checkpoint will be,” wrote one respon-dent. “An unannounced check might be more practical and effective.”

According to Police Chief Peter Morency, the announcements are required by law, so police have to do their best to work within the system. “I think it was successful,” said Lt. Dan Buteau, who compiled the sta-tistics on the checkpoints. “It’s more of an awareness thing.”

The sobriety checkpoints, a system of randomly screening motorists for possible impairment, were held during late night hours on Glen Avenue on predetermined weekends over the course of the summer and each motorist stopped was given a survey to return at their convenience to the police department. In all, 561 vehicles were stopped, and just under 10 percent — an even 50 — of those returned their survey to the police.

Buteau said that in the course of the checkpoints two arrests were made, one for a drug offense and one for operating after revocation or sus-pension. Three traffi c summons were also issued, as well as numerous warnings. Several sobriety tests were also administered, he said.

Although the checkpoint itself did not yield any DWI arrests, a roaming patrol on alternate routes in and out of Berlin during the one of the checkpoints did result in one DWI arrest, Morency told members of the Police Commission earlier this month.

Survey respondents were quick to point out that alternate routes were

available and word about the check-point travels fast in a digital age. “The location of the checkpoint is a good location. But easy to avoid,” one respondent wrote. “I got a text/warning me about the checkpoint. It would be more effective in a place that could not be avoided.”

“To be honest people warn others and they take other routes,” wrote another.

Those who fi lled out and returned the survey were fairly evenly split between genders, with 23 women and 26 men responding (one survey did not indicate gender or age). The median age of the respondents was 48. Overwhelmingly the group said that they felt the checkpoints were an effective deterrent to those who would drive unimpaired, with 37 responding yes, 12-no, and 1 not sure. All but one said they believed the checkpoint increases the risk of those driving impaired being caught. There was no difference of opinion on support for the program with all 50 indicating approval of the checkpoint as an enforcement tool and none of the respondents said the checkpoint caused any sig-nifi cant delay in their travel.

In addition to comments about notices for the patrols, respondents also appreciated the profession-alism of the offi cers in their mis-sives and offered suggestions for improvement. Whether providing just a couple of words or a few sen-tences of open comment, 27 of the 50 took time to offer their thoughts.

“All offi cers involved were polite and professional. Very well done, thank you for all you do.”

“Sobriety checkpoints should not be advertised, placed at random at all times of day and night.”

“Asking for one document only should be suffi cient, in my case my license is on me, but would have to dig to fi nd registrations.”

“I feel the sobriety checkpoints are a wonderful idea and should be held more often and by surrounding towns.”

BPD gets public feedback on sobriety checkpoints

BY MELISSA GRIMATHE BERLIN DAILY SUN


Northern Human Services as a com-munity integrator.

He was welcomed by the selectmen and Dave Graham remarked that he believed a human service background was a very good foundation for police work. Benjamin is slated to attend the police academy in January.

An additional change at the police department comes in the form of a promotion. Sgt. Jennifer Lemoine was promoted on Aug. 15 to the rank of lieutenant. Cyr explained that the move had been anticipated in the budgeting process, based on Lem-oine’s performance. He added that her current roles and responsibili-ties are more in line with a lieuten-ant’s job description. Lemoine is the department’s prosecutor and is in charge of all arrest reports as well as misdemeanor and felony complaints. She also represents the department and town on the board of directors of the Child Advocacy Center of Coos County.

Lemoine also received congratula-tions from the board and Town Man-ager Robin Frost.

With personnel out of the way, Cyr moved on to crime statistics he com-piled from the department’s comput-ers. Using year to date numbers for 2009, 2010, and 2011, he offered up a report comparing the rates of viola-tion, misdemeanor and felony offenses across the three years calling it a “snapshot of the bulk of what we do.”

According to Cyr, violation level offenses — which earn the offender a summons rather than an arrest — have been fairly steady with a decrease of just 5%, between last year and this year. Violations in 2009 were

79, dropped one to 78 in 2010 and fell by 4 to 74 this year.

The town has seen a consistent rise in misdemeanors over the three years, he stated, going from 163 in 2009, to 182 in 2010 and jumping 22% to 223 so far in 2011. In response to select-man Paul Robitaille’s query to what the increase might be attributed, Cyr said that thefts and simple assaults — particularly domestic violence related — were up. He added that drug offenses were up from 15 last year to 22 this year, and thefts had doubled from 6 to 12. “It wouldn’t be too much to say the economic condi-tion...had something to do with that,” Cyr said. He added that the number of low income housing opportunities in town may correlate to increased crime rates.

After a lull in felony offenses last year, the town has seen that number climb back up to near 2009 rates. In 2009 the department recorded 53 felo-nies. That number dropped to 19 for the same time period last year, but so far this year is back up at 47. Cyr explained that prescription medica-tion crimes accounted for much of this category. He also noted there have been 7 burglaries to date this year, compared to 2 in 2010.

Cyr also shared the statistics on motor vehicle activity, which saw a dip last year, but this year has climbed back up. In 2009, Gorham Police made 1,872 stops. That fi gured went down to 1,445 in 2010 and is at 1,773 for 2011. He said warnings account for 86% of the outcome of of 2011’s stops, while 13% resulted in summons and 1% of the stops (18) resulted in DWI arrests. Cyr called this statistical distribution “pretty consistent” over the years.

The Bay State Winds Clarinet Quartet, from the U.S. Air Force Band of Liberty will play in Berlin at the Berlin City Hall Auditorium on October 6, at 7:30 p.m., and in Gorham on Sunday, October 9, at 3 p.m., performing at Gorham Town Hall Auditorium, both sponsored by Music in the Great North Woods, free of charge, both venues wheelchair accessible.


officer positions must go through an interviewing process and be able to pass a physical test. The jobs are full-time with good ben-efits and shift differential.

“There’s no age limitation so it’s a good chance for anyone to get in as a correctional officer,” Belanger said.

A new company in Berlin, Crack-erjax Marketing, is advertising to hire a number of people for the business-to-business and web design business.

In addition, area ski resorts are all hosting job fairs in October to hire for their operations. Wild-cat is holding its job fair on Sat-urday, Oct. 15, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the main Base Lodge, Atti-tash has one the same day from 9 a.m. to noon at the Attitash Base Lodge, while Bretton Woods/Mount Washington Resort is hosting one on Sunday, Oct. 6, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bretton Woods Base Lodge. The Mt. Washington Valley Job and Resource Fair is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Granite State Col-lege in Conway.

Belanger said it is exciting to see the new activity after a quiet summer. He said early this summer his office assisted with hiring over 60 temporary workers for SteelEle-ments for a special order. He said SteelElements is trying to gain orders to retain as many of the workers as possible.

The local Employment Security office in June also assisted two Maine companies, Sargent Cor-

poration and Maine Drilling and Blasting, with hiring for the Gran-ite Reliable Power wind farm.

After that early summer activity, Belanger said employment oppor-tunities were limited to random companies seeking to hire a person to fill a particular need.

One big construction project get-ting underway in Berlin is the Bur-gess BioPower biomass plant. At this point, Belanger said he does not know how hiring for the plant will be handled.

Employment Security has initi-ated a new Return to Work Initia-tive for employers. Part of a larger initiative to help workers by Gov. Lynch, the Return to Work pro-gram allows eligible people collect-ing unemployment to receive up to six weeks of part-time on-the-job training. The employer does not pay the trainee and the state covers the cost of worker’s com-pensation. The trainee continues to collect unemployment insur-ance payments while gaining some training. While there is no prom-ise of employment at the company, there must be a full-time position open in the company for it to take part in the initiative.

Belanger said the initiative allows employers to try out pro-spective employees at no risk since the state covers the worker’s com-pensation. The trainee gets the opportunity to gain some skills and perhaps land a job.

More information on the Return to Work Initiative or the job fairs is available by calling NHES office in Berlin at 752-5500.

JOB from page one Ed Fenn students hike to Tuckerman Ravine with AMC

PINKHAM NOTCH -- The fourth-grade class from Ed Fenn Elemen-tary School in Gorham hiked up to the Hermit Lake Shelters in Tuck-erman Ravine Sept. 22, with the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). The hike, part of the AMC’s North Country Outreach program, started and returned to the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center.

The day began with a quick lesson on hiking safety and a review of what outdoor clothing the students should bring with them on a full day hike in the White Mountains. As the students hiked along the Tuckerman Ravine Trail in the White Mountain National Forest, they stopped occa-sionally to play fun games with their hiking group. When they reached the Hermit Lake Shelters, they explored the area and enjoyed the views up into the ravine.

Through the North Country Out-reach program, AMC is able to work with Ed Fenn students to encour-age them to build connections with the spectacular landscape in which they live and to increase their skills and knowledge needed to enjoy and understand the natural environ-ment of the region. Offered by AMC

for free or reduced-cost to all schools in Coos County, programs can be customized for each group, including school classes and clubs, after-school programs, scouting groups and other youth organizations and, can be tai-lored to augment classroom learning or meet state frameworks.

Founded in 1876, the Appalachian Mountain Club is America’s oldest conservation and recreation orga-nization. With more than 100,000 members, advocates, and support-ers in the Northeast and beyond, the nonprofi t AMC promotes the protection, enjoyment, and under-standing of the mountains, forests, waters, and trails of the Appala-chian region. The AMC supports natural resource conservation while encouraging responsible rec-reation, based on the philosophy that successful, long-term conserva-tion depends upon fi rst-hand enjoy-ment of the natural environment.

WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that three additional New Hampshire community banks received a total of $39.2 million as part of the fi nal wave of funding provided through the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF). The SBLF, which was established as part of the Small Busi-ness Jobs Act that President Obama signed into law, encourages commu-nity banks to increase their lending to small businesses, helping those com-panies expand their operations and create new jobs.

The New Hampshire community banks receiving funding as part of today’s announcement include the following. Northway Financial, Inc. (Berlin, NH) -- $23.6 million; First Colebrook Bancorp, Inc. (Colebrook, NH) -- $8.6 million; Guaranty Ban-corp, Inc. (Woodsville, NH) -- $7.0 mil-lion.

Overall, including today’s announce-ment, six New Hampshire community banks received a total of $86.7 million in SBLF funding. For a full list of New Hampshire community banks that received SBLF funding, please visit link for the most recent SBLF trans-action report.

“Billions of dollars in SBLF funds are now being put to use in commu-nities all across the nation, spurring small business growth and job cre-ation,” said Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Neal S. Wolin. “These invest-ments, which will help propel lending

by Main Street banks, are good for our economy and good for America’s small businesses.”

Small businesses play a critical role in the U.S. economy and are central to growth and job creation. Small busi-nesses employ roughly one-half of all Americans and account for about 60 percent of gross job creation. But small business owners faced dispro-portionate challenges in the after-math of the recession and credit crisis, including diffi culty accessing capital.

The SBLF helps small businesses meet this challenge by providing capital to community banks that hold under $10 billion in assets. The divi-dend rate a community bank pays on SBLF funding is reduced as that bank increases its lending to small busi-nesses – providing a strong incentive for new lending to small businesses so they can expand and create jobs. For more details on the SBLF program, please visit, link.

The SBLF is one part of the Obama Administration’s comprehensive agenda to help small businesses access the capital they need to invest and hire. The State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), which is also a key part of the Small Business Jobs Act, allocates $1.5 billion to new and existing state programs that will leverage private fi nancing to spur $15 billion in new lending to small busi-nesses and small manufacturers.

The Obama Administration has also supported 17 direct tax breaks

that provide tax relief of more than $50 billion for small businesses. These tax breaks were designed to support job creation and retention, entrepreneurship, investment, and growth. The Administration has also worked with Congress to extend

and expand existing Small Business Administration loan programs that helped put more than $42 billion in the hands of small businesses and deliver other important benefi ts to help small businesses expand and hire.

Three additional NH banks receive $39.2 million to help small businesses access capital, creat new jobs

Strengthening the NC Educational Alliance through inter-district collaborationGORHAM -- North Country Education Services, a regional educational ser-

vice provider located in Gorham, NH has been awarded $66,000 grant by the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund of the NH Charitable Foundation to establish a collaborative working environment for North Country educational and com-munity leaders. Over a two-year period, these forums will provide a structured framework for participants to work together by looking closely at each others practices, issues and/or problems and guide them to improve and adapt through a collaborative problem solving approach. According to Executive Director of NCES, Ray Healey, the intent is that the forum serve as a catalyst in bringing about more cohesive, cost effective shared services between school districts. The fi rst meeting of the forum will be on Thursday, October 27, 2011.

Participants in these forums will consist of approximately 33 Superintendents of School and their respective Board President and representatives from fi ve community organizations. The northern New Hampshire and Vermont partici-pants are School Administrative Units 3, 7, 9, 13, 20, 23, 35, 36, 58, 68, 77, 84 and/or Supervisory Units of Blue Mountain and Orange East.

Dr. Wayne Gersen who recently retired after 7 years as Superintendent for SAU 70 (Hanover, NH, Norwich, VT) will serve as the lead facilitator of the project. In addition to facilitating the forums, Dr. Gersen will provide train-ing in facilitation skills to four individuals who will facilitate smaller cluster

groups of 3 to 5 districts in year two of the project. Sustainability will be achieved through the establishment

of these four cluster groups consisting of school districts in close proximity to one another.

FUN FIGHTS!

K&S Fitness going strongBERLIN -- K&S Fitness has now

been open for nine months and busi-ness continues to get better. Owners Kim Poulin and Sue Martin started offering fi tness classes in Berlin because of the increased demand for their services, and the pair now offers classes fi ve days a week at their Maynesboro Street Studio.

Together they started K&S Fitness classes at Brown School. The original plan was to offer two nights of fi tness per week, but they were surprised to learn that they had an abundance of people and were immediately up to four classes a week.

They soon realized Brown School was too small and they needed a new place. Martin owns a building on Maynesboro Street and, with the help of their husbands, they soon turned the second fl oor of the building into a large fi tness/dance studio.

Both women are AFAA Certifi ed (Internationally recognized Aerobics & Fitness Association of America) for group exercise. Martin, Poulin, and Stephanie Lilly also hold valid Zumba Licenses. Poulin has nearly 10 years of instructing experience and Martin has fi ve years. Kim was formerly instruct-ing at the Berlin Rec. Center, as well as TNT, Fit 2 Be and Royalty Athletic Club. Sue was formerly an instructor at the Royalty Athletic Club.

Their equipment includes: glid-ing discs, large exercise balls, bender balls, body bars, a large variety of free weights, plus lots more. Kim and Sue keep their facility super clean and they’ve invested in “the best” sound system in northern New Hampshire, it has four 1000 watt speakers. They also have the latest tunes to get you moving.

K&S Fitness offers a variety of fi t-ness classes strictly for women.

Zumba is a fat burning fi tness program inspired by dance which combines a variety of Latin and inter-national rhythms in routines that are fun and easy to follow. Pilates/Yoga is a series of exercises aimed at building muscle strength, correcting posture and increasing fl exibility using your own body weight. Yoga is a form of

exercise that uses slow movements, stretching and holding poses. It is good for increasing fl exibility and bal-ance.

Body sculpting is designed to strengthen and tone all different muscle groups head to toe. They also offer cardio kickboxing which is a low impact, high intensity workout. K&S Fitness also changes their routines from one class to another to keep things fresh.

On Thursday, October 20, from 7:45 to 9 p.m. K&S Fitness will be offer-ing a “Club Zumba” night with disco lights and black lights for a “dance club” atmosphere. This night will have a Halloween theme and costumes are suggested. The cost to attend will be $8 and prizes will be awarded. They will continue with a “Club Zumba” night once a month on Thursday’s thereafter through the winter.

K&S Fitness future plans are to continue investing in equipment including BOSU Balls, which are infl ated rubber hemispheres attached to a rigid platform and are often used for balance training.

Martin is also an AFAA certifi ed personal trainer. AFAA is hosting a personal training certifi cation in May at K&S Fitness. It’s a three day work-shop held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is open to the public and includes a practical and written exam at the end of the workshop. If you pass, you will obtain a personal train-ing certifi cation.

K&S Fitness offers early morning classes at 5:30-6:30 a.m. Tuesday,

RE/MAX Northern Edge Realty recently donated another $500 to the Family Resource Center to support the professional training needs of the staff of Project Youth, the FRC’s afterschool program. Each year Project Youth serves over 200 Berlin-Gorham K-8 students with homework support programs. Retired Judge James E. Michalik, FRC’s executive director, accepts the check from Steve Grone and the real estate associates at RE/MAX.

The 13th Annual Operation School Supplies was a great success with the generous donations from Re-Max Northern Edge Realty, Coos County Family Health Services, St. Vincent’s de Paul, Good Shep-herd and Family Parishes. With these donations the program provided over 200 children with the necessary supplies to have a successful start to the 2011 school year.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Win-ning begets winning. Regardless of your starting position, you can create an excellent end result if you stay focused on what’s going right instead of on what’s going wrong. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t have to push yourself to share with others, because your contributions fl ow effortlessly from you. It brings you such great pleasure to give that you are becoming well known for your generos-ity. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don’t forget about that whim you had last week. It is still a good idea, and it is worth investigating further, if not follow-ing through to the exciting end. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will do your part to protect, preserve, restore and manage your household. If everyone takes on as much responsibil-ity as you do, your home life will be in tiptop shape. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll enjoy your time with loved ones. You’ve been rushing around so much that you may feel that you haven’t really seen them. Today’s slower pace will give you a chance to openly gaze in appreciation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today your tidbits come in the form of infor-mation and entertainment and won’t cost you much money to pick up and share. You are constantly combing the scene for something your loved ones would like. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Love isn’t going to sneak into your heart and surprise you, and you won’t suddenly discover love. Love is a state that you will co-create with another person. An interesting development happens in a relationship.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This day will feel like a whole week because its intensity is so turned up. You’ll pack twice as many people and activities into the space of 24 hours, so the day will be broken up into short bursts of your attention. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Life will likely improve later, and yet it would be a shame to waste the moment anticipating better days when you could be engaged in the perfectly lovely circumstance happening right now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It will help you to understand your rights and powers. For instance, without the support of customers, a business will fail. As a paying customer, you have certain rights that you should know and defend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Each person projects his or her own story onto the situation at hand. Therefore, you can safely assume that however people are reacting to you, it is not per-sonal. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You sometimes assume that what you know is common knowledge, but it really isn’t. That is why it’s important that you teach the people around you, espe-cially if those people happen to be your children. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 30). You’ll fi x a less than ideal part of your life, and your birthday is like the shot that starts the race. Pace yourself, though -- the journey will be long, satis-fying and productive provided you stay on course. Sweet nothings in your ear in October develop into life-changing decisions and relationships. Sagittarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 49, 2, 14, 33 and 18.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 50-year-old female, married 26 years, with three grown children. When I was 16, I dated a guy, “Oli-ver,” I cared for very much. We got along, never argued and were very close. The attachment we had I have never experi-enced since. Months after we broke up, my mom told me that because we were of different races, she had called Oliver’s parents and told them to keep him away from me because we were getting too close. We both moved on, but through the years I have thought of him often. Sixteen months ago, I found him online. He lives a half-hour away, has two teenagers and is unhappy in his marriage. We spoke on the phone or online for a year. Over the last few months we have been meeting at a nearby park. Our connection is still there. We are soul mates and no longer want to be without each other. And no, we have NOT had sex. My husband has been good to me. I love him, but I’m not “in love” with him. I am torn between staying with my husband to honor the commitment to my family, or following my heart with Oliver. I’m in love with him and don’t want to lose him a second time. -- ANOTHER CHANCE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CHANCE: You say you’re torn between your com-mitment to your family or following your heart. But what about Oliver’s commitment to HIS family? Although your children are grown, his aren’t. They still need a father at home. If the feelings you have carried in your heart all these years for Oliver are more than a fantasy, they won’t wither if

you postpone acting on your feelings. Are you strong enough to do that? Whether you’re up to the challenge is something only the two of you can decide. DEAR ABBY: I have a close friend, “Lindy,” who is dying from liver cancer. She could no longer eat or drink even be-fore the chemo was started, and she sleeps most of the time. The chemo has done nothing more for her than make her lose her hair. Lindy is adamant that she’ll beat the cancer. To that end, she wants nothing “negative” passed on to outsiders, in-cluding her relatives who live eight hours away. She has no family here except her boyfriend, whom she won’t allow to talk to her doctor. He refuses to go against her wishes. I am torn between being loyal to my friend’s belief that she’ll get better, or notifying her family about how sick she really is so they can visit her before she passes. If they come, Lindy will be furious (if she’s still coherent). But if they don’t have the opportunity, it will be unfair to them. My heart tells me to call Lindy’s family and tell them to consider a visit sooner rather than later. What do you think? -- CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE DEAR IN THE MIDDLE: I think that if Lindy were as close to her family as you imagine, they would have some inkling that she’s ill. That you are aware of her illness shows how much she trusts you and cares for you. The people who are most important to her know about her condition, so please respect her wishes.

Local offi cials comment on DOT Ten Year PlanBERLIN -- City offi cials urged state

offi cials to keep the Route 110 bypass project on schedule as the Department of Transportation’s Ten Year Trans-portation Improvement Plan moves through the hearing process.

Local offi cials also expressed support for two projects that have been moved off the Ten Year Plan to a deferred list - the Conway bypass and reconstruction of Route 2 in Jefferson and Randolph.

The Governor’s Advisory Commis-sion on Intermodal Transportation held its fi nal North Country hear-ing on the 2013-2022 draft Ten Year Plan Monday night following the city council work session. The commission, which consists of the fi ve Executive Councilors and the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation, is holding hearings on the plan across the state. North Country Executive Coun-cilor Raymond Burton held 13 hear-ings across District I. Burton said after the hearings conclude in late October the full committee will get together and make fi nal recommendations to the DOT draft plan. Those recommen-dations will go to Gov. Lynch by Dec. 15. Lynch must then recommend a Ten Year Plan to the legislature in January for passage by the end of the legislative session in June.

DOT Director of Project Develop-ment William Cass explained that the state is projecting a 30 percent cut in federal aid or about $100 million annu-ally. The department’s priorities will remain maintaining and preserving the state highway system plus address-

ing the red list bridges. Continuing the Interstate 93 reconstruction is also a priority.

Cass described the Ten Year Plan as a realistic document and said there are some very real funding challenges facing the plan. He said the plan is very much a work in progress.

State Senator John Gallus, (D-Ber-lin) said roads and bridges are very important to the North Country. He asked the committee not to neglect the state’s northern region.

City Councilor Lucie Remillard and Mayor Paul Grenier both spoke about the important of the second phase of the Route 110 bypass. Property acqui-sition is underway with construction scheduled to start next year. Grenier said he hopes the project will stay on track. Federal money for the project is earmarked.

City Councilor Michael Rozek made a plea for Route 2, citing its importance as an east-west corridor. Rozek noted that the state of Maine has made a major investment in widening and reconstructing Route 2 in Bethel.

City Councilor Tom McCue made a similar plea for continuing the Conway bypass which is the region’s major route to the Seacoast region. He said the area does not have alternate means of transportation. McCue noted Tropi-cal Storm Irene pointed out the lack of additional routes.

Burton said it would be nice if the state could do all the projects on the deferred list within the Ten Year Plan. But given the fi scal constraints, he said the state has try and address the worst places.

BY BARBARA TETREAULTTHE BERLIN DAILY SUN

North Country Council, the regional planning agency for Coos and parts of Grafton and Carroll Counties, identi-fi ed widening Route 16 from Dummer to Errol and rehabilitating the bridge over the Connecticut River between Stewartstown and Canaan, Vt., as its two highest priorities. The Route 16 project is listed on the plan for 2019 and the Stewartstown bridge is sched-uled for 2015.

The Ten Year Plan can be found on-line at http://www.nh.gov/dot/org/projectdevelopment/planning/typ/index.htm. Written comments will be accepted through Nov. 10. Com-ments should be addressed to William E. Watson, Administrator, Bureau of Planning and Community Assistance, N.H. Department of Transportation, 7 Hazen Drive, P.O. Box 483, Concord, 03302.

During this time, the girls can apply and earn additional scholarships from $

2,000 to $20,000. Information on Girl’s State and application are available at Berlin and Gorham High School guid-ance departments. In effort to raise monies for the scholarship programs, the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 82, Gorham, working with Sue Solar of Party Lite, will be hosting a Party Lite fundraiser at the Dupont Holmes Post 82, Function Hall on October 5, at 6:30 p.m. Proceeds will benefi t American Legion Auxiliary scholarship fund.

GORHAM -- The Profi le Patriots are making a statement throughout the Division IV boy’s soccer this season. The number one ranked and undefeated Patriots got goals from fi ve different players, and went on to defeat a very good Gorham soccer team 5-1 on homecoming Saturday in Gorham.

Profi le scored just 4:11 into the contest. A corner kick resulted in a failed clear from in front of the Gorham goal. A close in shot and a save by Gorham goal keeper, Tyler Sanschagrin, found the rebound

on the foot of Nick Christofferson. Christofferson tucked the rebound back into the Gorham goal for a 1-0 lead.

At 28:34 of the fi rst half, Patriot Allen Komisarek made it 2-0 off of a pass from teammate Cam John-son.

The Huskies were playing very solid soccer, how-ever, the top fl ight Patriots are loaded with experi-ence and capitalized on any chance they got. Just
