Council approves more than $34 million PILOT for Berlin Station at special meeting

BERLIN — “This is one of the biggest events in the city in my lifetime. Now, if we can just cross the fi nish line.” Those were the words of Mayor Paul Grenier after the city council unanimously approved a 22 year PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) agree-ment with Berlin Station LLC.

The agreement promises $34 million in revenue over the life of the agreement, and the possibility of more — with 15 percent of the profi ts of the sale of up to 100,000 Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) annu-

ally promised to the city starting in 2019. There’s one catch, the agreement only becomes effective if a fi nancial closing on the biomass plant planned for the former Burgess paper site happens prior to Sept. 1.

The city council took less than 15 minutes to okay the deal at a special meeting on Monday night, voting 7-0 in favor, with councilor Mark Evans absent. Gre-nier noted that the contract was the culmination of a year’s work of work and would offer the city reliable remuneration without the hassle of utility assess-ing, annual appeals or other variables. The agree-

ment is contingent only on the fi nancial closing and viability of the purchase power agreement (PPA) for the life of the contract. If the PPA is terminated, the agreement for the PILOT ends and if renegotiations are unsuccessful the property would be taxed under the normal assessment process.

Grenier added that the PILOT had the stamp of approval from the city’s utility assessor and the city’s attorney. Once the motion to approve the agreement — put forth by councilor Mike Rozek — passed the vote of council, Grenier added, “this

BERLIN—Would the 12 students who attended the STEM-Health camp at the White Mountain Community College July 18-22 sign-up again for next year’s camp?

“Yes!,” said Max Mayerson, whose favor-ite part of the week was building robots with legos.

“Yes!,” said Chris Dumaine, whose

favorite part of the week was building and learning to play a guitar that he could keep.

“Probably,” said Matt Lafl amme, for whom the Lego robotics session was a favorite.

“Yes,” said Taylor Fortin, who thought building a robotic claw with Lego’s was pretty interesting.

among mariachis

SAYWHAT...Without music, life would be a

mistake.”—Friedrich Nietzsche

LOS ANGELES (NY Times) — For generations, musicians have gathered each day in a corner of the Boyle Heights neighbor-hood, just east of downtown. The sprawling square has been called Mariachi Plaza for as long as anyone can remember and has served as a central band-gathering spot since the 1940s.

The players come with their violins and trumpets and guitars, like roaming minstrels offering to play their traditional ballads for anyone interested, and especially for those looking to hire a band. Mariachi Plaza is a sort of day-labor center for musi-cians, and the mariachis will gather around passers-by, a horde of them jostling to get business card into the hand of the would-be customer. The leaders encourage the customer to hire the full band, typically six musicians, and will belt out a tune or two as an enticement.

The going rate here has been about $50 an hour per musician for more than a decade, but when busi-ness began to dry up and newer musicians moved in a few years ago, competition became far more intense.

“This is our profession, our job, our passion,” Ale-jandro Cisneros said. “We don’t want to have it ruined by these people who do not know what they are doing.”

OSLO (NY Times) — A lawyer representing the anti-Muslim extremist who carried out the massacre in Norway sought to fi ll in some of the wide gaps in public knowledge about his client on Tuesday, portraying him as a “very cold” person who lived in his own world, buttressed by drugs and the belief that he was a warrior doomed to die for a cause others did not comprehend.

The lawyer, Geir Lippestad, declined to say whether his client, Anders Behring Breivik, 32, would plead insanity as a defense when his case

comes to trial. However, the lawyer said at a news conference, “this whole case has indicated that he is insane.”

Police and court offi cials have said Mr. Breivik has admitted to detonating a large bomb in Oslo that killed eight people and then shooting and killing 68 mainly young people at a summer camp run by the governing Labor Party on the nearby island of Utoya. The attacks on Friday amounted to one of the worst massacres in post-war Europe.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — House Republi-can leaders Tuesday made increasingly frenzied pleas to their members to approve a plan to temporarily raise the nation’s debt ceiling, but passage seemed in grow-ing doubt. The White House reiterated that it strongly

opposed the bill and that President Obama’s advis-ers would recommend a veto should it somehow pass the House and Senate.

Scores of the House’s most conservative members pored over the details presented by the Republican leaders and concluded they did not like

what they saw.In a Tuesday morning

meeting, Representative Eric Cantor, the chamber’s major-ity leader, told fellow Repub-licans to “stop grumbling and whining and to come together as conservatives and rally behind” the House speaker John A. Boehner’s plan.

Nearly 4,000 post offi ces might close

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The fi nancially beleaguered Postal Service announced Tues-day that it would consider clos-ing more than 3,600 of its 32,000 post offi ces.

Continuing efforts to reduce costs by shrinking the orga-nization’s retail network and work force, Postmaster Gen-eral Patrick Donahoe released a list of the targeted offices, which are primarily in rural locations and produce little revenue. There will be a 60-day comment period before the Postal Service makes a final decision, which can be appealed to the Postal Regula-tory Commission.

In communities that lose post offi ces, the Postal Service may outsource basic services, like sell-ing stamps and shipping fl at-rate packages, to local businesses like pharmacies and groceries, Mr. Donahoe said.

“The Postal Service of the future will be smaller, leaner and more competitive,” he said in a statement.

THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 27, 2011—

Jeff Locke to pitch at the Sea Dogs this ThursdayCONWAY — Jeff Locke's next pro-

fessional start, weather permitting, will be close to home. The Redstone resident and former Kennett High standout tweeted Monday afternoon he is scheduled to start on the mound for his Altoona Curve when they visit the Portland Sea Dogs this Thursday.

Altoona is the Class AA Eastern League affi liate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Starting time for Thursday's game is 7 p.m.

"I'm excited," Locke, the son of Pam and Alan Locke, of Redstone, said by phone Monday. "It's just another game, but it's a game close to home. I'm excited for the trip to Portland. I feel like there's always a lot of expec-tations and hype there. You can't go in with the mentality of wanting to make your peers, family and commu-nity happy, you've got to go out and treat it like any other game."

Tickets are still available for the game, but are going fast.

"I just ordered 40 tickets," Pam Locke said Monday. The Lockes plan to attend all four games of the Curves' visit to Portland which runs Thursday through Sunday afternoon. "The phone has already started ringing with people asking, 'When's Jeff pitching and do I have any extra tickets.' It's funny to me. I think there's a pretty good crowd planning on going down."

Anywhere between 800 to 1,300 from Mount Washington Valley ventured to Hadlock Field last August when Locke was magnifi cent in his homecoming of sorts against the Sea Dogs.

Locke was sensational for the Curve (Pittsburgh Pirates affi liate), tossing

seven shutout innings while scattering three hits (all doubles), walking one and striking out eight in the 1-0 win. On the night, the Redstone Rocket was economi-cal needing just 79 pitches, of which 55 were strikes, to get through seven innings against a talented Portland squad.

"It was everything I thought it would be, for the most part," Locke said in the locker room just minutes after his club closed out the victory. "I'm super happy. It went pretty much the way I scripted it."

"I don't know what the support will be like this time," Locke, who pitched in the Class AA All Star Game in Man-chester two weeks ago, said Monday. "I don't know what to expect for a crowd. People are already asking me if there will be a lot of people from Conway there. I tell them I don't know. I hope I see a lot of familiar faces; my com-munity had always been behind me."

The No. 8 prospect in the Pirates' organization and the No. 1 left-handed pitching prospect, Locke leads the Curve in most pitching categories this season. He's 6-8 with an earned run average of 4.44 and has made 19 starts, working 107 1/3 innings while allow-ing 104 hits, 64 runs (only 53 earned) while striking out 98 and walking a 41 batters and yielding eight home runs.

Locke has a 3.60 ERA in his last 10 starts with a 3-3 record with 48 strike-outs in 55 innings with 47 hits allowed and 19 walks.

Locke is coming off the longest outing of his career, pitching eight innings in a 7-2 win over the New Britain Rock Cats (Minnesota Twins affi liate) on Saturday night in Altoona. Locke faced the mini-mum in each of the fi rst six innings.

"Things went really, really well on Saturday," he said. "I didn't do any-thing fl ashy — I just located my fast-

ball well and they just beat the ball into the ground. If someone got on we got out of it with a double play.

"His fastball command was the best I've seen it to be honest," Curve catcher Kris Watts told The Altoona Mirror. "Sit-ting back there I could go in, out, up, down and do a lot of thing with one pitch. They were swinging the bats early, and (Locke) was able to put it where he wanted, and manipulate hitters pretty easily."

"It was was the fi rst time Kris has caught me this season," Locke said. "It was nice to change things up a bit. It felt like the fastest outing of my career. We were into the eighth inning before I knew it."

Locke only threw 81 pitches in the contest.

Usually when I go through 81 pitches it's like the fourth," Locke said. "Usu-ally I throw 100 through fi ve."

"He had an attack mentality, located, and kept the ball at the knees for the most part," Curve manager P.J. Forbes said of Locke to The Altoona Mirror. "When you do that good things are going to happen."

Locke became the fi rst Curve pitcher to complete eight innings since Justin Wilson did so last Aug. 14.

"Knowing that my next start is going be kind of at home in Portland, it's something to ride high into my next outing and just kind of learn from the mistakes late in this game," Locke said. "Obviously, Saturday's game was a night when you can go home and refl ect and look forward to your next start."

Wicked good music on Arts Jubilee stage Thursday nightCONWAY — Arts Jubilee, which has

been presenting outdoor concerts since 1983, continues the 2011 expanded summer season with a return per-formance by the Wicked Smart Horn Band Thursday, July 28, on the festival stage at the base of the north slope at Cranmore Mountain Resort in North Conway.

An early concert is at 6 p.m., followed by the Wicked Smart Horn Band at 7.

The Wicked Smart Horn Band plays energetic soulful music with a mix of rhythm and blues, swing, and rock.

"Their diverse talent is a recipe for fun, dancing and audience participa-tion which has endeared the band to many fans of all ages," says Arts Jubi-lee organizer Cindy Russell.'"

The 11-piece band features the Wicked Smart Horns, three lead vocal-ists, harmonies by the Hornettes, bass, drums, keyboard, and guitar. A varied group of talented players, based in Franconia, they bring an eclectic back-ground to the group.

“The main thing is we don’t do this to be famous. We just like to play music together and entertain the crowd," said Wicked Smart Horn Band founder and bassist Joe Cimino.

Joe Cimino is the bass player, a songwriter and founder of the Wicked Smart Horn Band. Cimino and his son, Tony, drummer, run Mojo Music Productions, a recording studio, rental source for speakers and sound equipment and installation of sound systems.

"The band loves the North Conway area. The music scene in the moun-tains of North Conway is a hidden gem, so much great talent thrives there,” Anthony Cimino, the band's drum-mer, said. We are all looking forward to returning to the big stage at Mount Cranmore with the new 2011 horn band lineup, with Nicky Chig on lead guitar and vocals, and Beth and Bran-don Zagst blowin' those trumpets."

By day, band members operate a bakery, grow Christmas trees, have an apple orchard, among other pro-fessions. Sax and clarinet player Roy Brewster fi nds himself in theater shows, choral concerts and jazz groups, as well as the Wicked Smart Horn Band. During the week he practices dentistry, but once he puts on his hat and suspenders, he transforms from Dr. Brewster to Mr. Jive.

“When we’re on stage it doesn’t

matter where we are or who we’re playing for,” said Cimino. “It’s about the camaraderie and it’s about love.”

Bring a picnic blanket or lawn chairs. Picnic baskets are permitted, but alco-holic beverages may not be brought in. Alcoholic beverages are available on the deck at Zip’s Pub with a great view of the concert stage. There is convenient parking within steps of the concert area, and there are indoor rest-room facilities.

A warm-up concert by the valley acoustic duo Bennett and Perkins, pro-viding a blend of folk and blues from around the world, begins at 6 p.m., and the Wicked Smart Horn Band takes the stage at 7 p.m.

On Thursday, Aug. 4, Arts Jubi-lee will feature the Cape Cod band, Entrain as the main concert at 7 p.m., with opening act “T-Bone Daddy Trio," a rockin blues band infl uenced by the sounds of Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, Eric Clapton and the like, beginning at 6 p.m.

The grand fi nale concert featuring the New England Wind Ensemble in Arts Jubilee’s traditional symphony pops concert with fi reworks is on Thursday, Aug. 11.

In addition to Cranmore’s continued support as host sponsor, season and major sponsors of Arts Jubilee include White Mountain Oil and Propane, Coca Cola of Northern New England, Laconia Savings Bank, The Seasons Condominiums, Ragged Mountain Equipment, Story Land, Comfort Inn and Suites, Eastern Slope Inn Resort, Golden Gables Inn, Leone, McDonnell and Roberts, Mount Washington Auto Road, North Conway Rotary, North-way Bank and Shaw’s Supermarket. Arts Jubilee is also supported by TD Bank, White Mountain Waldorf School, Pete’s Restaurant Equipment and M&M Assurance Group, as well as 15 additional supporting and community sponsors.

The remaining funds needed to sup-port the concert series are borne by private donations, grants and the pur-chase of wrist bands at the gate by con-cert goers.

Admission this year is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors 65 and up and $5 for stu-dents with a school ID. Kids 12 and under are free.

Ridin’ High With The Ol’ Town Team

Since going two wins and 10 losses to open the 2011 season, my team, the Boston Red Sox, he been going gangbuster. As I write this the team leads the American League with just under two thirds of the season over. Only the New York Yankees, three games behind the Red Sox, are even close. The two teams seem fated to play for the league champion-ship.

While the Sox seemed at the start of the season to have the best pitching staff in the league, with John Lester, Clay Bucholtz, John Lackey, Josh Beckett and Dice Matsuzaka as starters, a lot has happened to change that. Only Beckett has been a true stalwart. DiceK is gone for the season with Tommy John sur-gery, Lester and Bucholtz have been on the Disabled List and Lackey has been unreli-able. Still the Sox, even with second line starters like Wakefi eld and Miller, are lead-ing the American League with a 62 and 37 record.

But, putting the pitching diffi culties aside, the Sox have played superb baseball in the fi eld and have scored a ton of runs too win games that lesser teams would lose..Take Sunday’s game against the Seattle Mariners who opened the fi rst inning by hitting a 2 run homer off of Sox starter Tim Wakefi eld. The Sox scored 5 runs in the bottom of the fi rst off of a highly touted rookie pitcher who is a candidate for rookie pitcher of the year in the American League. It became a free swinging game after that with the Red Sox prevailing in the end 12 to 8. It was a fun game to watch with never a doubtful moment that the Sox would prevail and win the game.

While the pitching was less of a factor on Sunday, the relief pitching has often been the key factor in many of the Sox wins. Daniel

Bard, who has thrown 24 times in the eight inning without a run being scored has been a mainstay of the staff. He came into Satur-day’s game with the Sox ahead by only two runs, Within minutes the Mariners loaded the bases. and it seemed like Bard was in deep trouble. Not so, however. He easily retired the next three batters without a run being scored.

Another Sox reliever who has been superb has been Jonathan Paprlbon. He is the closer and comes into the game in the ninth to shut-down the opponent and wrap up the win. He has done his job about every time he has been called upon to earn his top salary. Papelbon will become a free agent at the end of the season and may go elsewhere in 2012. It is good to know that Daniel Bard is available to do the closer’s job next season.

When it comes to hitting the baseball and scoring runs, the Sox lead both leagues in most categories. Hitting lead-off and getting on base has been up to Jacobi Ellsbury, the team’s superb center fi elder. He’s the best in the game right now. Following him at bat is second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who, after a slow start, is red hot and blue!. They are truly the dynamic duo that sparks this team both at bat and in the fi eld.

These two are followed by fi rst baseman Adrian Gonzalez, who is the leading batsmen in either league, and Kevin Youkalis, the all star third baseman and prodigious run pro-ducer. These four are the most prodigious in baseball at getting hot, scoring runs and win-ning games.

Anyway. The 2011 season has been a blast and so help me I expect a World Champion-ship to come to Boston in October. I think they do too!

John Walsh

Back in the 1980s, when my work depended on the weather and I still had a television, I paid a lot of attention to the forecasts. One summer, a protracted period of hot, humid weather struck the center of the country, which the color-coded weather map depicted as bright-red day after day. My wife was still at her parents’ house in central Kansas that year, without air condition-ing, and for nearly three weeks the tempera-ture never dropped below 100 degrees even at night. Kansas has long been notorious for hot weather, but that scorching summer remained legendary there until very recently.

Now, triple-digit temperatures can be expected on the plains quite regularly. The fi rst 100-degree day in Kansas this year was May 6, while July 19 marked the 35th consecutive day that the mercury topped 100. Not long ago, my mother-in-law called from her car and men-tioned that a nearby bank thermometer read 112, while an offi cial temperature of 111 in Wichita last week drew headlines nationwide.

I fl ed Washington last week just before the

worst of that heat struck the capital, but it was already sweltering when I left. Even longtime residents who schlepped their briefcases from air-conditioned Metro cars to air-conditioned government buildings were fi nding it diffi cult to take last Wednesday, while the highs on Thursday and Friday were predicted to climb another fi ve or ten degrees. Almost every year of this new century has proven hotter than the one before (and hotter than any year before), and 2011 will probably exceed 2009 as the warmest year ever.

All of this brings back the battered and abused notion of global warming, which anti-environmentalists successfully re-designated as “climate change” to give it an air of natural origins unassociated with human activities. Even Barack Obama, who forsook the cause early in an effort to save some of his health ini-tiative, referred to “climate-change legislation” in half-hearted deference to those who seek a sustainable planet. Then he started throwing

BERLIN -- St. Kieran Art Center will launch the 2nd Annual August Celtic Mon-days Mini-Series on August 1, at 7 p.m. with The Spinney Brothers, one of Nova Sco-tia’s best bluegrass bands. Tickets are $15 at the door ($13 for Arts Center mem-bers.)

From the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, Canada, The Spinney Brothers Band is comprised of Allan Spin-ney, Rick Spinney, Gary Dalrymple and Terry Mum-ford. Brother Allan and Rick established their band in 1992, showcasing a tight brother duet vocal style that was immediately recognized for its energetic and distinc-tive sound. The cornerstone of The Spinney Brothers musical identity is the sound of traditional, southern-fl a-vored bluegrass music.

The fi rst generation blue-grass legends have been an important musical infl u-ence because their music is shaped by their personal lives and local heritage. By incorporating original mate-rial, which draws from vari-ous sources, the Spinney Brothers effortlessly inter-twine the past with the pres-ent.

“We are so excited to have such a great line-up of international touring bands coming to the North Country! We are extremely thankful for our special partnership with Phill McIntyre at Skye Theatre who put together such a strong and diverse series. Circle your calendars, because St. Kieran Arts Center is the place to be on

Monday nights this August!” states Joan Chamberlain, executive director.

DE TEMPS ANTAN on Monday, August 8. Since 2003, Éric Beaudry, André Brunet and Pierre-Luc Dupuis have been explor-ing and performing time-honoured melodies from the stomping grounds of Que-bec’s musical past. Using fi ddle, accordion, harmon-ica, guitar, bouzouki and a number of other instru-ments, our three virtuosos blend boundless energy with the unmistakable joie de vivre found only in tradi-tional Quebeqois music.

ASHELIN on Monday, August 15 is a band of fi ve sisters - Cassy, Joesie, Kali-yan, Shaelin, and Thea from Newfoundland Canada. The sisters began singing and dancing to Newfoundland and Irish music as far back as they can remember, while mastering a stunning vari-ety of instruments. Known for their sparkling vocals and intricate harmonies, Ashelin’s brand of folk, roots, and pop repertoire shines with original songwriting and traditional tunes.

JJ CHAISSON’S PEI KITCHEN PARTY Monday, August 22- Prince Edward Island’s J. J. Chaisson is a talented multi-instrumen-tal musician. He has col-laborated on award winning recordings, acted as front man for a Celtic rock band, and toured widely as a solo artist.

billions of dollars into highway construction, which promoted still more of the automobile emissions that contribute so heavily to global warming.

Reporters in all media hungrily exploit the human tragedies ema-nating from the surge in fl oods, droughts, and tornadoes, but they seem no longer interested in the con-nection between greenhouse gases and the rising global temperatures that cause those disasters. The corporate propaganda campaign against “job-killing” environmen-tal efforts seems to have persuaded most of the press, along with most politicians, to avoid the topic as too controversial. Meanwhile, the same partisan congressmen who strive to keep our economy staggering in order to discredit the president oppose any curbs on carbon emis-sions on the pretext that they would hinder economic recovery.

It is almost certainly true that addressing crucial environmental issues like carbon emissions would stall any return to the prosperity of yore. It is equally true that a resur-gence of economic growth will cause further environmental degradation. We have simply passed the point at which we can continue to crowd the planet with more greedy people and still give them all the same pros-perity that Americans once enjoyed. The attempt to do so only brings our earth closer to the inevitable

collapse in which luxuries like air conditioning and electronic enter-tainment are forgotten in a more desperate quest for food and clean water.

As I left Washington at noon on Wednesday, banner-toting protest-ers were descending on Capitol Hill to complain about potential budget cuts. Some of them unrolled a huge picture of Barack Obama with a Hitler moustache, evidently in refl ec-tion of his willingness to compromise with the Republican majority. They doubtless considered themselves defenders of the helpless masses, so many of whom have become depen-dent on federal assistance of one kind or another. It was, however, nearly as diffi cult to sympathize with them as with the corporations that are fi lling Washington newspapers and Metro stations with ads for the preserva-tion of their own copious benefi ts. Both, with varying degrees of ava-rice, hope to continue getting some-thing for nothing — the Republicans taking it for themselves, and the Democrats giving it to their friends. Neither seems to recognize the fi nite resources of an overtaxed planet.

While such ultimately petty dis-putes occupy the public mind, no one attends to the one issue that could well kill us all. In the end, thanks to our focus on the present and the self, we will likely get precisely the world we deserve.

“CUBA” After 50 Years

Travel For All Americans – LEGAL! The travel industry is all abuzz

with news regarding future visits to CUBA. According to “General Tours World Traveler”: the official announcement, allowing any American to travel to Cuba - legally, is expected during the first two weeks of August, 2011.

General Tours and “Insight Cuba” – leaders in authorized travel to Cuba, are longtime travel partners providing Cross- Cultural Solutions and cultural exchanges. Together they are positioned to provide the up-coming People-to-People Journeys.

The Valley Travel team, anticipating this announcement, is standing in the wings with several tours already in place. So when the flood gates open- up Valley Travel will be one of the first companies to make this historic journey.

One of our tours will feature a visit to Havana’s historic Hotel Nacional de Cuba. This refined city center hotel has been the capital’s premier address for nearly 80 years. With it’s classic Art Deco styling and world-class service, the Hotel Nacional boasts an impressive guest list including Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner and Ernest Hemmingway.

Did you know that Ernest Hemmingway’s book “The Old Man and the Sea” was written about a Cuban fisherman? Hemmingway penned this and many of his best known novels at his Cuban Villa Finca Vigia, located about one half hour from Havana. He lived there from 1939 – 1960.

The count down to this monumental decision will formally begin in a few days. The fascinating history of this alluring island coupled with the announcement of “legal” travel for Americans to CUBA is reminiscent of the stuff that legends are made of. Stay tuned and be the first to make the inaugural journey to the land of music, salsa dancers, cigars, rum, and movie stars...

An informal survey on the closing day of the camp indicates that they enthusiastically would return for another week.

Their week at the camp had been jammed with doing science study, technology tricks, engineer-ing marvels, and using mathematics to do all those things, in addition to becoming certifi ed in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and learning now to use a global positioning system (GPS) device and building a guitar to keep for their own and build-ing and shooting rockets and building robotic health care devices and learning how to track fi sh and drill teeth and detect bacteria and more and more and more.

The staff at the WMCC STEM-Health Camp man-aged to cram all those things in a one-week session, repeated twice for a total of 21students entering grades six through eight in the Berlin area this year. The fi rst week took place July 11-15. The particular skill sessions were taught by local talent.

The acronym “STEM” stands for science, technol-ogy, engineering, and math. Both the U.S. National Research Council and National Science Foundation believe these fi elds are core technological underpin-nings of an advanced society, according to Wikipedia.

But not enough students in the U.S. are commit-ting to study in these fi elds.

The STEM camp at WMCC, started two years ago with a grant from the National Science Foundation, is intended to interest students in earlier grades in these fi elds or to act as did the Pied Piper, in this case to draw young people into science—”. . . the STEM is the fl ute,” as Roy Campbell wrote in a 1928 poem.

As it happened, three years ago the North Country Health Consortium had started a Health camp with the similar goal of introducing younger students to the health fi elds.

This year the two groups combined their expertise in a STEM-Health Camp, encouraging young people to think about all these fi elds as they head into the

future, according to Francine Morgan, MBA/HRM, of the North Country Health Consortium, Inc.

Wherever their time at the STEM-Health Camp leads them, the students clearly were fascinated throughout the program, particularly on the last morning when they made small rockets and learned how to wire them and had a chance to launch them via remote control out on the big WMCC parking lot.

Although the grant that initiated the fi rst two years of the STEM camp at WMCC expires this year, WMCC President Katherine Eneguess told parents gathered for the last day awards that she and the staff intend to continue to work to fi nd funding to continue the successful program, all of which has been completely free for the campers.

The camp was directed by Jody Camille, WMCC Running Start Coordinator, and Morgan. They were helped in different segments by the following:

Dr. Lori Ramos, Coos County Chiropractic; Elaine Belanger, LPN, North Country Health Consortium; Claudette Morneau, RN, AVH Education Direc-tor; Richard J. Lorenz, PA-C, Orthopaedic Surgery; David Burtt, College of Dental Medecine, Univer-sity of New England; Ashley Croteau, North Coun-try Health Consortium; William Graham, CPR instructor; Frank Clulow, VP Academic Affairs, WMCC, who led the guitar building session; Greg Meserve, WMCC; Gloria Bacon, camp assistant; Jill Kilborne, US Forest Service; Daniel Caron, engineering and aerospace educator (rocket guy); Diane Timmons, N.H. Fish and Game, fresh water fi sh study.

Students attending in the fi rst week were: Keith Morin, Tyler Shevlin, Devin Manchester, Kailey Price, Xavier Paradis, Shaylin Moser, Nathan Der-osier, and Calvin Ruediger.

Students attending the second week were: Nich-olas Perry, Kayden Dube, Chris Dumaine, Aiden Blair, Maggie Evans, Matthew Lafl amme, Hunter Desilets, Cassandra Hartshorn, Gavin Demers, Maximillian Mayerson, Taylor Fortin, Josey Adams, and Jakob Carrier.

With fi xed tax reve-nues of $500,000 a year for the fi rst four years, rising incrementally to be at $1.4 million in 10 years and $3 million by the end of the agree-ment, Grenier said with confi dence, “I think this is a pretty huge benefi t to the city.” In addition to those fi xed revenues, an estimate of addi-tional payments from REC sales starts at just under $500,000 in 2019 and rises to nearly $800,000 by 2033.

Grenier added that this revenue comes without environmental degradation and a need for the city to provide extra services, making it a boon for the city, should the project be fi nalized.

GORHAM - Accord-ing to the Federal Trade Commission, nearly 25 million Americans are victims of consumer fraud each year. The first step people can take to protect themselves against the sophisti-cated scam artists is education.

BERLIN --The administrators of the Jennifer Solar-Whalen music scholar-ship are pleased to award this year’s scholarship to Natasha Jost of North Conway. The award was presented by Vice Principal Julie King of Kennett High School who was a former neighbor of Jennifer Solar.

Natasha’s musical credits while in school included All State Band, All State Jazz Band, PSU All New England Band, UNH Choral Gala, Lake Region Music Festival Band, MWV Commu-nity Band and MENC National Honor Band. She will be attending the Univer-sity of New Hampshire this fall.

Natasha becomes the fourth talented high school senior to receive the award. Although available annually, local area candidates are not always available with the necessary qualifi cations. Stip-ulations of the scholarship require the applicant to play a brass instrument and be planning to further their music in college.

Former recipients were Tom Spen-cer of Lancaster (2006), Pam Gagnon of Groveton (2008) and Lia Gilmore (2010).

The annual memorial scholarship

is open to North Country high school music students who play a brass instru-ment and go on to college to further

their musical education. It is given in memory of Jennifer Solar-Whalen, a 1990 graduate of Berlin High School and a former Berlin Jazz Band member. She continued her love for the slide trombone and graduated from

Otterbein College in 1994. In October 2004 Jennifer succumbed to cancer at the age of thirty-two.Anyone wishing to help perpetuate this scholarship by contributing to the memorial fund (con-tributions are tax deductible) should make checks payable to The Jennifer Solar-Whalen Scholarship and send to 119 Hill Rd., Dummer, NH 03588-5409. Any charitable contributions received will do a lot to help ensure that this award can continue annually.

Celebrate 100th Anniversary of Weeks Act with 100 activities at Weeks State ParkLANCASTER — An appearance

by Smokey the Bear, live music, a vintage car rally, plein air painters, an afternoon tea, scavenger hunts, and old-time activities like croquet and badminton are among the 100 exciting activities planned for Weeks State Park on Saturday, August 13 and Sunday, August 14, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passage of the Weeks Act. This important fed-eral legislation, named for Lancaster native John W. Weeks, led to the cre-ation of the White Mountain National Forest and more than 50 other national forests.

All of the events at the park are free and open to the public. Families with children are especially encouraged to attend, as there will be many activi-ties that appeal to kids.

The highlight of the weekend is an evening champagne reception and musical evening fundraiser with well-known North Country fi ddler Patrick Ross & Friends on Saturday, August 13 at the Mountain View Grand in Whitefi eld. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by contacting the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire at [email protected] or by calling (603) 323-7302. Proceeds from the evening will be shared by Weeks State Park and the Arts Alli-ance.

In addition, every Thursday from 5 to 7 pm painters will work outdoors at the Park before the evening pro-gram. Stay tuned here for more information on all of the activities planned for the week-end, or check for details and updates at www.aannh.org.

The weekend’s events are part of the White Mountains Cultural Festival: 8 Days of Weeks, a collaborative, grassroots festival hon-oring the region’s rich natural and cultural

heritage that is being held on the eight weekend days of August. Fes-tival activities – all celebrating the connections between art and nature – will be focused in a different part of the region each weekend, with an activity hub serving as the focal point, along with local festivals, heritage days, concerts and other activities in many surrounding communities.

Community celebrations during the fi rst weekend, August 6 and 7, are being held from Plymouth to Lincoln, with special events in Holderness, which will mark the 250th Anniver-sary of the town, and in Wonalancet, which has planned a village-wide event that includes hikes, talks, home tours, music and art to celebrate Wonalancet as it was 100 years ago.

On the second weekend, in addi-tion to festivities at Weeks State Park, Whitefi eld will celebrate with an art exhibit, workshops with Weeks car-toonist Marek Bennett, stories of the community and its history told by residents, and a walking tour of the downtown. Specifi c information on Festival activities and the Weeks Act celebration can be found on the Arts Alliance website at www.aannh.org

and at www.weekslegacy.org.The Festival is coordinated by the

Arts Alliance in partnership with the White Mountain National Forest and

Arts Alliance members and partners throughout the region and around the state, including the Weeks Centennial Coordinating Committee.

Berlin Police offi cer Geoffrey Bardeen writes a citation for a motor vehicle violation during last weekend’s sched-uled sobriety checkpoint on Glen Avenue. Police randomly checked passing vehicles for around fi ve hours on Friday night into Saturday morning, in an attempt to deter impaired driving. Each driver was chatted up briefl y and also given a survey to return to the police department asking for their opinion on checkpoints in general and whether they were inconvenienced. One arrest was made as a result of the checks. That operator was charged with being in possession of a controlled drug (marijuana) in a motor vehicle. (PHOTO BY MELISSA GRIMA)

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Do not try to parent other people’s children, even if you’re paid to oversee them. Knowing the boundaries will save you from trouble. The principle will also apply today to adults who act like chil-dren. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will witness inspiring examples of shar-ing and caring. Indeed, you may be the instigator of these acts, as you will be moved to express the deep affection you feel for loved ones. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will praise good behavior in others. You’ll do this subtly, so as not to come across as overbearing. You are practiced in the art of leading from behind. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have poise, presence and a clear voice. You will ask for what you want, and you will get it. You have no need of quali-fi ers, such as, “I hate to bother you, but...” You have the confi dence of a leader. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone is not who he says he is. The situation is a little like Dorothy and her friends visiting the Wizard of Oz. The one in power has to posture and pretend because that is what he thinks the citizens expect. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your apprehensions will keep you from taking a risk that’s not worth taking. However, when you see an opportunity that is right for you but scary because it’s new, you will courageously seize the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You believe it’s rude to ramble on to a cap-tive audience. And yet, you will listen patiently to the one who has trouble getting to the point. That’s how kind you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are those who believe that crying is a form of weakness and is to be avoided at all costs. They are forgetting that there is a healing balm inside every tear. Tolerate the tears of others, and of course, accept your own. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Be on the lookout for new treasures. There is an item very near you that would fi t in perfectly with a collection or special interest of yours. Ask specifi c questions, and you’ll fi nd your way to it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You didn’t sign up to be a role model, but that is what you have become. So embrace your position, and show everyone the way. It is one of your many purposes on the planet. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You feel wronged by someone. This person meant you no harm, but his or her self-ishness has caused you extra work. Consider that on some level you may have agreed to this inconvenience. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A ritual can help you release what is old and let in new light. This doesn’t have to be a practice laid out for you by reli-gion or tradition. You are free to create your own steps for releasing the past. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 27). Your easygoing way will attract good fortune to your personal life in August. Just don’t brag, or loved ones will get jeal-ous. You’ll negotiate and strike a pretty deal in September. The improvements to your routine have you looking fan-tastic in November. Expect family addi-tions in January. Invest in May. Taurus and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 6, 36 and 39.

DEAR ABBY: There’s a venomous old woman who roams through our neighborhood looking for victims to embarrass, humiliate or annoy. She told a neighbor’s 11-year-old grand-daughter she looked like a slut because she was wearing shorts currently in fashion for the young. She habitually cuts in front of people in line at the supermarket, puts 25 items on the 15-item service line, etc. A new neighbor thought she should be treated with a little kindness. She had her opportunity recently when we were out to breakfast at a restaurant. The harridan sat alone (her husband refuses to be seen in public with her), and my friend commented to her on the beautiful day. Her response? “Don’t waste my time with meaningless inanities!” She then pro-ceeded to abuse the server by repeatedly sending her plate back, each time becoming more unpleasant. The girl ended up in tears. At that point, my friend walked over and said quietly, “I hope you don’t think your advanced age justifi es your mean-ness.” The witch accused my friend of “slandering” her and left vowing never to return. This elicited a round of applause from the customers and staff. Why do some people go through life behaving so outra-geously? How can she derive satisfaction from being so hate-ful? -- PUZZLED IN SAN DIEGO DEAR PUZZLED: Ruling out the idea that the person you have described may be mentally disturbed, it’s possible she may be so unhappy in her personal life that she’s trying to make herself feel better by abusing others. She’s a sad case. I’d like to think that when the other diners applauded, it was directed in support of your friend rather than at the disagree-able woman as she left the restaurant. DEAR ABBY: I am a 34-year-old man, I have been divorced

for a couple of years and have no children. I have been dating an incredible woman, “Nikki,” who is a bit older than I am. She has three children. The elephant in the room has always been whether or not Nikki would want more children. We fi nally discussed it, and she confi rmed that she does not. She said she’s looking for-ward to the next phase of her life as her kids get older, which I understand. That conversation has led to a break in our re-lationship. We haven’t spoken for the past two weeks, and it seems like two years. I am struggling with what to do. I have always wanted to be a dad. Would being a stepdad be as fulfi lling for me? Is being in a good relationship more important? Having kids doesn’t automatically make things great, right? Could I fi nd someone as wonderful as Nikki, but who wants to have a kid? Abby, I’m confl icted, and you’re the only one I could think of for advice. -- JUMBLED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR JUMBLED: Only you can decide whether being a stepfather to Nikki’s children would be enough for you. For some men, it would be. For others, it wouldn’t be enough. Of course, the primary relationship must be between the hus-band and wife. Children grow up, leave and establish lives of their own. And you’re right, having kids doesn’t “auto-matically” make things great if there is trouble in the relation-ship. While there are no guarantees you will fi nd someone as wonderful as Nikki, the odds are very good that you will meet a woman -- or more than one -- whose goals are simi-lar to yours and who would love to have a family with you. But it won’t happen until you fi rmly decide exactly what you want.

Theatre North to present ‘Little Shop of Horrors’

GORHAM -- Theatre North is proud to present the rock musical classic “Little Shop of Horrors” by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, for the fi rst major production at the newly renovated Gorham Town Hall on August 5, 6, 12, 13 and 14.

“Little Shop of Horrors” is the story of an introverted fl orist’s assistant, Seymour (Paul Pelletier) who pines after his coworker the lovely but self-loathing Audrey (Eileen Kelley) despite their oppressive boss Mrs. Mushnik (June Desmond). When Seymourbrings in a strange and unusual new plant, things start to look up for the failing skid row fl o-rist shop. Everyone wants to cash in including Audrey’s abusive boyfriend, the Sadistic Orin (Connor Chown). What happens when Seymour dis-covers that his new plant craves only blood!

COLCHESTER, VT -- Janel Roberge, daughter of Janet and Nor-mand Roberge of Milan, was one of 40 Saint Michael’s College students to be awarded grants to do research with a professor this summer. Roberge, a senior biology major, graduated from Berlin High School before coming to Saint Michael’s, which is located in Burlington, Vt., one of the top 10 col-lege towns in America.

Roberge is carrying out a project titled “The Effects of Land Use on Phosphorus and Benthic Macroin-vertebrates in the Lake Champlain Basin”

“Undergraduate research is a natural extension of some of Saint Michael’s College’s most strongly-held beliefs as an educational institu-tion,” said Dr. Karen Talentino, SMC vice-president for Academic Affairs. “We believe that close student-faculty interaction facilitates learning and student development,” said Dr. Talen-tino, herself a biologist.

The research happening at the col-lege ranges from lab science, history, social sicence data collecting and analysis, environmental research with the Vermont EPSCoR Streams project, surveying of Vermont’s work-force in an effort to increase the effec-tiveness of the Workforce Investment Act. Funding has been provided by the college’s summer fellowship program, the Vermont Genetics Network, the National Science Foundation, SMC alumni funds for research, and other sources.

“We expect our faculty to pursue scholarly and research activities in order to inform their teaching and to contribute to their disciplines,” Dr. Talentino explained. “We try to facili-tate the growth of each student in all dimensions, and to prepare them to be lifelong learners.” She said work-ing with faculty, who are themselves researchers, is one of the best experi-ences a liberal arts education provides to students.

He conducted the Philharmonia Chorale and is a well-respected author and musicologist. Linda Alexander teaches fl ute at the Hartt College of Music of the Univer-sity of Hartford and the Wethersfi eld schools. She plays professionally in the Hartford area as well as with the New Britain Symphony.
