Moving Downtown Forward Action Plan detailed

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – Energy was the focal word for Wednesday’s night’s meeting on the new economic and design strategy for the downtown – Moving Downtown Forward.

Consultant Stu Arnett said the plan recommends capitalizing on energy in two senses of the word.

First, he noted Berlin’s unique status as a city that produces more energy than it consumes. With its hydroelectric facilities and the biomass plant, the plan recommends Berlin brand itself as the renewable energy capital of the region.

Second, Arnett noted the energy of residents and merchants dedicated to revitalizing the downtown. He said merchants have remained positive and committed despite the tough economic times.

Arnett said the goal of the plan is to rebuild, not just the downtown, but also the sense of community it embodies.

“What we’re really rebuilding here is community. We’re building home,” he said.

Arnett and his co-consultants, Jay Poulin and John Wacker, presented the findings of their action plan to a packed house at the city council chambers.

The total price tag to implement the action plan is $15 million.

While Arnett said the bulk of the money should come from private sources, he said it is important the city make a financial commitment to the project. The plan calls for the city to fund ten percent of the project - $150,000 annually for ten years. Arnett said that money will see PLAN page 6

GORHAM — The selectmen announced on Tuesday evening that a petitioned warrant article had been received asking the voters to abolish the town’s budget committee. On Wednesday evening, the budget committee and supporters of the petition shared their feelings during the budget committee meeting, with the discourse at time dissolving into personal attacks.

The purpose of Wednesday evening’s meeting was to hear from the water and sewer department on their 2012 budget.

The commissioners and superintendent presented the two operating budgets with a combined decrease of around $6,800.

The committee has no power to change or endorse the water and sewer budgets so the post-presentation conversation turned to the other matters, including that of the petitioned warrant article that proposed to abolish the budget committee.

A major point for some budget committee members was that the bulk of the signatures on the petition, were town employees and their immediate family members. PJ Cyr, the town’s Chief of Police, who spearheaded the effort, was on hand and explained that he believes many more signatures could have been gathered but he felt it necessary to just provide the minimum. Under questioning from committee members, Cyr said he did not feel that any employees had violated the town’s code of ethics by taking part in the petition, and assured them that he collected the signatures in his free time.

When asked about his motives, Cyr said that he was struck by the way some of the budget committee members conducted themselves regarding town employees. He said employees had been publicly called addicts, abusers, alcoholics, and even thieves on open Facebook pages. He also told the committee that one of their members, Robert Balon, had appropriated a see PETITION page 7

Boeing departs from Wichita WICHITA, Kan. (NY Times) — The crowd gathered at the local headquarters for Boeing was euphoric. The company had just won one of the largest military contracts in history.

Thousands of the resulting jobs, Boeing had promised, would be headed here, to the sprawling manufacturing complex where residents have been building airplanes for generations.

“It’s good for Kansas, it’s good for Wichita and it’s a great day to be alive here and to profess victory,” said Senator Pat Roberts, part of the political team that spent a decade battling on behalf of the company. “Every once in a while the good guys win.”

That celebration last February was supposed to confirm this city’s enduring status as the “Air Capital of the World.”

But less than a year later, on Jan. 4, Boeing executives solemnly gathered here for another announcement. The jobs would not be arriving after all, they said. Instead, they would shut down all of the company’s local operations by the end of 2013. Barring some unexpected act of salvation, this is how Boeing leaves Wichita after eight decades as one of its biggest employers and most prestigious brands: in a trail of broken promises and bitter recriminations.

Insurgents kill dozens in Southern Afghanistan ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (NY Times) — More than two dozen people were killed in a four insurgent attacks in southern Afghanistan that began late Wednesday and continued through Thursday afternoon, Afghan authorities said.

As the violence intensified, a suicide car bomber detonated his explosives Thursday morning outside one of the gates at Kandahar airbase, one of the largest coalition bases in Afghanistan, Afghan and American officials said. At least seven civilians were killed,

including two children, said Zalmai Ayoubi, a spokesman for the governor of Kandahar Province. He said another eight Afghans were wounded, and the death toll could rise.

Ayoubi said the car bomber struck a convoy of vehicles from the American-led coalition, although a coalition spokesman, Sgt. Thomas Dao of the American Air Force, could not confirm that report.

Sergeant Dao said there were no coalition casualties, and that operations at the military base were not disrupted. Qari Yousaf

Ahmadi, a Taliban spokesman, said the insurgents were behind the attack.

Taliban fighters also attacked a police checkpoint in Now Zad District, in Helmand Province, on Thursday afternoon.

At least two police officers and 12 Taliban fighters, including a local commander identified as Mullah Abdul Baqi, were killed in the ensuing gun battle, which went on all morning, said Dawoud Ahmadi, a spokesman for the provincial governor. Another two officers were wounded, he said.

New definition of autism may Murdoch company settles exclude many, study suggests with dozens of hacking victims (NY Times) — Proposed changes in the definition of autism would sharply reduce the skyrocketing rate at which the disorder is diagnosed and may make it harder for many people who would no longer meet the criteria to get health, educational and social services, a new analysis suggests.

The definition is under review by an expert panel appointed by the American Psychiatric Association, which is completing work on the fifth edition of its Diagnostic

and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The D.S.M, as the manual is known, is the standard reference for mental disorders, driving research, treatment and insurance decisions.

The study results, presented on Thursday at a meeting of the Icelandic Medical Association, are still preliminary, but they offer the latest and most dramatic estimate of how tightening the criteria for autism could affect the rate of diagnosis.

LONDON (NY Times) — The actor Jude Law, the soccer star Ashley Cole, and Lord Prescott, a former British deputy prime minister, were named Thursday on a list of 36 victims of phone hacking who have reached settlements totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars with Rupert Murdoch’s media empire.

The actor Jude Law was among a list of 36 victims of alleged hacking who was said to have reached a settlement with News Corp.

A statement by lawyers representing hacking victims said that Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers, which published the now-defunct News of the World tabloid, had agreed to pay substantial damages on the basis “that senior employees and directors” of the company “knew about the wrongdoing and sought to conceal it by deliberately deceiving investigators and destroying evidence.”

Forest society acquires conservation rights on 6,000 acres surrounding Balsams hotel CONCORD — The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests has completed a transaction with the Tillotson Corp. that conserves much of the land surrounding the historic Balsams Grand Resort Hotel in Dixville Notch.

The forest society acquired conservation restrictions that will forever protect the working forest, habitat, scenic views and 30 miles of recreational trails that the public and Balsams guests have enjoyed for decades.

“We have long sought to protect this special place in New Hampshire,” said Jane Difley, president/forester of the forest society. “We are grateful to the more than 1,500 donors who stepped forward to collectively contribute the $850,000 we needed to make this happen. We are equally pleased that the board of the Tillotson Corporation gave us the opportunity to conserve this land.

“We have already developed a strong working relationship with the hotel’s new owners, who own the now-protected land,” Difley said. “Like everyone else, we want to see them succeed in renovating and reopening the hotel.”

As part of the transaction, the forest society also acquired a deeded transmission line right-of-way coveted by the controversial Northern Pass proposal.

By acquiring both the conservation restrictions and the powerline rightof-way, the forest society effectively removed the threat that Northern Pass would be able to cross the 5,800 conserved acres without eminent domain.

“While we began this project because of the extraordinary natural attributes of the land, in the end I think this campaign also became a referendum on Northern Pass,” Difley said. “We

received donations from far and wide, and in many cases those donors told us that they were driven by a desire to stop the Northern Pass proposal.”

The more than 1,500 donations ranged from $1 to $150,000. Donations came from all over New Hampshire, but appreciation of the Balsams landscape was evident nationwide as gifts were received from 22 states including Hawaii, Arizona, California and other far-flung locales, as well as from Quebec, Canada.

A purchase-and-sale agreement signed in December gave the forest society until Jan. 15 to raise the $850,000 necessary to close the transaction. The conservation restrictions will prohibit further subdivision and commercial development while allowing sustainable forestry and recreational access.

The land that is now protected surrounds the site of the hotel. The land immediately adjacent to the hotel, the golf course and the Wilderness ski area are not part of the conserved area.

The conserved land will include the popular outlook known as Table Rock that offers a spectacular vista across Coos County to Maine, Vermont and Canada. The 30 miles of recreational trails include hiking and snowmobiling trails as well as a section of the Cohos Trail that runs from Crawford Notch in the White Mountains to the Canadian border in Pittsburg.

Other conservation values include wildlife habitat for rare species such as American Marten and Bicknell’s Thrush, extensive water resources such as Mud Pond, healthy, well managed stands of sugar maple and areas of likely old growth forest.

Thanks to all who ‘wove their magic’ To the editor: All of us at A.V. Home Care Services want to thank the many people who gave so generously of their time, talent and treasure this year to make the holidays joyous for our clients and their families.

“Santa” is a mystical, magical figure, the embodiment of love and care, and we are sure that our clients experienced these things for another wonderful Christmas season! To the many “Santas” who made “Gifts from the Heart” successful, from Woodlands Credit Union staff, to the customers who bought special gifts for our clients, to the staff of A.V. Home Care who delivered them, thank you so much. Most especially, we are indebted to Jeannette Nadeau and her husband, “Junior” who saw to every detail of our “Giving Tree” effort, wrapping and delivering the most beautiful

presents to our agency for our clients.

To Denise Palmer and her students who made lap quilts, pastries and packages of hand-made crafts to brighten pre-Christmas days for our clients, know that your incredible skill and (beautiful work) is surpassed only by your thoughtfulness.

To The Material Girls, who spent one more year sewing away and donating funds to AVHCS so that we can bestow needed gift cards (for holiday groceries, prescriptions and special treats), thank you for continuing to weave magic with what you sew!

Clearly, the true meaning of Christmas is alive and well, and we at A.V. Home Care Services are most indebted to all who made it shine for us this year!

We really enjoyed our meal at Legends To the editor: Have you ever gone out to find a place to eat and not been able to?

This night, in particular, there was nothing open.

Not wanting to give up, we drove around until we found ourselves at Legends in Gorham. “They were open” Now, I know they have been open for a while and had changed names, from Thanksgivings to Legends. For some unforeseen reason, we had never gone.

Why? We couldn’t tell you!

Being our first visit, we didn’t know what to order!

Everything sounded good, but was it? OMG, that’s Oh my goodness, it was more than just good, it was wonderful. Not only was it presented well, but it was delicious.

So now, we had to go back and try it again. Doesn’t everyone? Second and third visit was still amazing. see LEGENDS page 5

By Gail Collins The New York Times

Anchors Aweigh, My Boys This week, Rick Santorum held a town hall meeting on a retired aircraft carrier. It was definitely a more dramatic venue than the last time I saw him, in a nursing home auditorium in New Hampshire.

As the candidate made small talk with supporters in the hangar bay of the U.S.S. Yorktown, his staff was frantically trying to fold away some of the empty chairs to make the audience look larger. They shooed the attendees — who appeared to be mainly a few families with home-schooled children and one woman with a very busy red-white-and-blue hat — into the middle “so we can have you guys in the camera shot.”

Although the meeting area was cold and smelled vaguely fishy, everyone in the little audience seemed upbeat, even the woman who expressed concern that the federal government was planning to round up local Tea Party members and put them in a FEMA concentration camp “that has a razor-wire fence around it.”

“I’m not familiar with that at all,” said Santorum, who was looking slightly less chipper than his fans. (The Federal Emergency Management Agency says there is no plan to round up the Tea Party. The agency doesn’t have any concentration camps. Just in case you were worried.)

But I digress. The point here is that while South Carolina is a very lively state, this primary has been lacking the kind of anythingcan-happen excitement that made Iowa one long frostbitten romp. But things could change! Voting on Saturday! And here’s how everybody is doing: MITT ROMNEY The South Carolina primary has been one long obsession with Mitt Romney’s extreme richness. This is partly because Newt Gingrich keeps carping on it.

Which, to be honest, we have enjoyed very much. But, mainly, it’s because Mitt is so weird and off-putting on the subject. Like the time he told people he was unemployed.

And, this week, when he dismissed the fees he earns as a public speaker, which ran to $374,327 in one recent year, as “not very much.”

People, what is it with this guy? Mitt was charging around $42,000 a speech. If you were planning to run for president and didn’t need money, would you deliberately pursue a sideline that would put you in the top 1 percent for about 12 hours’ worth of work? And, while we’re at it, if you were that rich and had a very large family to take to Canada, wouldn’t

you hire a plane? What kind of obsession is it that makes a multi-multi-multimillionaire show up for the GoldenTree Asset Management convention for a $68,000 fee? Or drive for 12 hours with the Irish setter strapped to the car roof?

RON PAUL During the recent South Carolina debate, Paul called for a “golden rule in foreign policy,” in which we would refrain from doing things to other countries we would not like done to us. This triggered cries of outrage from the audience on behalf of the New Exceptionalism, which holds that the United States is the only country with “do-to” rights.

But Paul has pretty much written off South Carolina anyway. He’s hoping the race drags on to February and caucus states like Maine and Nevada, where a candidate with a smallbut-dedicated following has an advantage.

Even if that following appears to be composed largely of slightly abrasive young men with high IQs who smoke and wear hunter caps with ear flaps.

RICK PERRY You may have heard the rumor that Perry is doing better in his campaign performances lately. Frequently, the words “doing better” are spoken in the same tone used when describing, say, a 97-year-old heart attack victim on a ventilator. Lately, he has been expressing his patriotism by denouncing the Obama administration’s stern treatment of the Marines who urinated on dead Afghans. At a recent speech in South Carolina, he referred to Washington as a “suburb.” But, at this point, really, people have stopped keeping track.

NEWT GINGRICH Once again in South Carolina, Gingrich is proving that he is the top debater in the field. Truly, if the office of president of the United States involved nothing but debating in front of enthusiastic Republican audiences, he would be far and away the best possible choice. If nominated, Newt promises that he will follow Barack Obama around the country challenging him to a series of three-hour-long “Lincoln-Douglas” debates. He can already imagine it! I bet you can, too.

RICK SANTORUM Santorum enjoys spending time with his wife and seven kids, doing 50 push-ups every morning, and pressuring for a recount of the Iowa caucus vote.

He also likes sweater vests, talking about his coal-miner grandfather and visiting aircraft carriers to drive home his campaign slogan.

Which is “Courage to Fight for America” not “Already in Drydock.”

To the editor: Hmm, so all’s not so well at Wally’s World is it? What intelligent folks knew all along! May I enter the public fray? Instead of chaffing at the tough Wal-Mart nipple like kids in a sand box, let’s take it to the next level can we? Why fight over the toys that the rich grandfather didn’t leave you?

You work for world’s largest employer that sells boat loads of schlock (that inevitably end up in the landfill in two weeks) made on the backs of poor laborers, even children chained to machines in 400,000 sq. ft. factories surrounded by barbed wire and guards where there are suicides frequently. And you expect them to be

highly moral and exercise that oxymoron-business ethics? C’mon, people?

While we’re at it let’s explode the myth of Sam Walton as some nice fatherly caring generous gentleman with a red truck, dog and fish pole.

He was that way only in the beginning. He himself said, “Retailing is a tough business”.

Guess you’re just now finding out how tough it is on you?

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OBITUARY –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

GORHAM, NH -- Linda R. Levesque, 64, of 89 Jimtown Road, Gorham, NH, went home to be with the Lord on January 17, 2012 with family by her side, following a long and courageous battle with cancer.

In my past personalized stores, I kept a Wal-Mart wall of shame 25 feet long and ran out of room for posted news clips on the many many wrongs of WalMart. Bigger is not better. When will we learn that? I now find prices cheaper elsewhere. The service better, the products more quality and varied.

Why does Wal-Mart have a lifetime ban on me? Because I sued them in Coos Superior Court. I experienced first hand how bad its prior manager was. I know people who resigned over the unethical things done to public and workers alike. I know administrative staff who left rather than be transferred to the Gorham location due to the bad reputation of that manager who I had to call the police on and sue.

Do you want cheap underwear or quality of life? Wal-Mart has eroded the latter and driven down and out all competitors. And only three Walton family members run all this. They have an underground secure residence to hide

Funeral services will be held on Monday Jan. 23, at 11 a.m. at the Harvest Christian Fellowship Church, 219 Willow St., Berlin, NH. Interment will follow at the Mt. Hayes Cemetery, Gorham.

PLAN from page one

convince outside investors that the city is serious about the project. It will also be valuable in leveraging other funds.

The action plan has five key components: upgrading the streetscape or appearance of the downtown, the Public Service of N.H. park, an economic vibrancy strategy, communications and marketing, and real estate development.

Wacker said the uniqueness of the project, which has been almost a year in development, is the combination of economic and design components.

Originally, the focus was the area from Veterans Park to St Anne Church including both Main and Pleasant Streets.

But Wacker said the team discovered what he called a “sleeping green giant” in the PSNH park and that became a key part of the plan.

“It’s just an incredible asset to have,” said Poulin.

Instead of the current entrance to the park, the plan proposes a north entrance with a bridge connecting the downtown to the park. Rather than try to screen Smith Hydro’s green penstock, Wacker said that would be incorporated into the renewable energy storyline.

Plans for the 19-acre park include a children’s play area, bandstand, and possibly even an amphitheater. There would also be passive space where people could go to enjoy the views of the river and gorge.

Wacker said the team has met with PSNH officials and the utility is willing to partner with the city on the effort.

At Veterans Park, the plan calls for a new welcome sign and the addition of a sidewalk. The PSNH property across from the park would be made more attractive. A new kiosk, funded through a grant to the New Hampshire Grand Initiative, would provide information on the city’s history.

Coming into the downtown, there would be some sidewalk and streetscape improvements. Arches would be placed in this section.

Wacker said team proposes using the two empty lots created by the 2009 downtown fire as open space and a window into the park. He said an information center could be placed there.

Some open space on Pleasant Street could be used for the city’s thriving Farmers Market, connecting it to open space on Main Street.

Across from St, Anne Church, the small open space there would be converted into a small park. Throughout the downtown, the plan calls for improvements in design, lighting, and signage.

One of the key components of the plan is redeveloping some of the real estate and increasing the overall property valuation of the downtown.

Wacker noted Berlin has some unique architecture in its downtown. It also has about 11 buildings in need of redevelopment – three are owned by the city. The demolition underway of the former Rite Aid-owned buildings will make that space available for redevelopment.

Sylvia Poulin, of the Main Street Program, said the action plan is tied into the N.H. Grand marketing initiative, which looks to promote Berlin as the marketplace for Coos County. Arnett said the plan recommends marketing the city to Canadian tourists. He pointed out that Sherbrooke is about the same distance from the city as Boston. With a sizable French-Canadian population, he said Berlin is a natural destination for northern visitors.

Arnett said people may question undertaking such a plan when the tax rate is high and the economy is struggling. The answer, he said, is that said some opportunities exist that make the timing good for the city. He said PSNH is anxious to work with Berlin and the Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority is already aggressively working to redevelop the downtown. Arnett said city leadership is supportive and Berlin has a capable and stable staff.

Arnett also noted that merchants and downtown property owners have hung on through tough times.

Most, he said, have no plans to move, showing resilience and courage. He said the city needs to take care of its own.

Finally, he noted if the city does not act, the downtown will continue to deteriorate.

But if the city is able to increase property values in the downtown, Arnett said it will increase the tax base and create jobs. He said the city would see a quick return on its investment.

The action plan includes a time line with immediate, short and long-range projects. Measurable goals are set and parties are identified to implement the various components. The plan provides for a leadership team as well as a policy and implementation group. The city would contract out management of specific projects.

Wacker was asked about parking in the downtown. He said the plan does not impact parking and pointed out there is ample parking around the downtown including Tondreau parking area.

Calling parallel parking a lost art, Berlin businessman Barry Kelley suggested limited parking to see PLAN page 7

whether everyone was there to represent the will of the people.

Others who also signed the petition were on hand including former budget committee member John Lapierre, who is also married to a town employee. He said he thought about whether or not he would sign the petition for a long time before actually making the decision to sign. Lapierre said he had resigned from the budget committee because of personal vendettas and felt he had no conflict of interest in signing.

Another town employee, Michelle Lutz, said she signed because she believed there were people on the committee with an “axe to grind.” She also asked that the committee become more educated about their responsibilities. “If you’re going to represent me I prefer you have the knowledge.”

Lutz also took Balon to task for his postings on Facebook saying that town employees are not elected and are not therefore, “fair game and fodder.”

The budget committee members fought back refusing to be lumped together as targets. “You refer to one person, I look at the board as a whole,” said budget committee member Terry Roderick. “I don’t feel I’m incompetent,” he said noting that he asks questions when he doesn’t understand something and attempts to learn as he goes. Jay Schall also pointed out that one person is only 10 percent of the committee’s votes Balon responded to the criticism of being a write-in seat saying simply, “I was elected. I was called to serve.” He added that he believes he has focused

plan calls for connecting the downtown to Jericho Mountain State Park by snowmobile/ATV trail to allow those groups to access the restaurants and stores.

photo of Cyr and his wife for personal use on his Facebook page, made comments about Cyr’s children and also had made comments about other town employees and their family members, in addition to making questionable statements on his Facebook. Cyr asked “how can people who’ve made those comments make objective decisions,” on town spending that impacts the same people who were targeted?

“People like that don’t deserve to be on this committee,” he said.

He added that he felt some members were not competent and didn’t understand elements of budget committee law and duties, like the “10 percent rule.” Cyr went on to say that the department heads, the town Finance Manager, and the Selectmen were involved in the budget process for 365 days a year, but its not until September that the committee is brought in for their input. “You’re a needed level of government if you’re a functional level of government,” Cyr said, noting they are part of a “broken system.” It was the functionality of the committee that Cyr attacked pointing to what he saw as a lack of decision making skills of some of the members. He also pointed to a lack of voluntary participation, noting that Balon and committee member Jay Holmes gained seats on the committee only when no one else ran on the ballot and the two men each received a handful of writein votes. He said though he respected everyone on the board with the exception of Balon, there were others with “special interests” and questioned to one side of Main Street and going with angled parking.

Kelley said he liked the focus on renewable energy and encouraged the team to not forget the biomass plant, which looms over the downtown in telling the story.

One person suggested the action plan was heavily weighted toward summer activities. Arnett said the

solely on the budget at every meeting and no votes had been taken yet.

Roderick questioned why budget committee chairman Bruce Lary was allowing the issues played out on Facebook, which had nothing to do with the actual budget, take up the committee’s time. Lary responded that he normally would not, however, he felt that since the board had asked for Cyr’s motives in trying to disband the committee the information was pertinent to that cause.

John Losier said he has learned in his 13 years on the budget committee that it is a thankless job. “We’ve seen some good people resign because you can’t get anywhere,” he said. He also noted that at a previous meeting Cyr had contradicted his current position by stating that the committee was finally doing what it should be by asking questions. Losier said he felt the petition was biased and defended Balon saying he had brought more state information to the board than anyone else in his experience.

Holmes told Cyr that he understood there was a personal issue between Balon and Cyr, but added that he believed missteps had been made on both sides. Holmes said he understood Balon’s anger toward Cyr noting he had heard of no one else in town being arrested for trespassing at the town airport or the firing range.

Bob Demers, turned the tables directing his comments at the selectmen as he took them to task for poor management. He argued that the town fathers had not stuck to requiring the department heads to cut five percent from their respective budgets.

He said that he feels no one wants to run to be on the budget committee because those elected become outcasts right away. “I can see it. I feel it,” he said.

Lary went around the room allowing everyone a chance to weigh in on the discourse and budget committee member Lisa Kardell expressed her disgust for the tone of the conversation as it transpired. She announced that she was shocked by the com-

ments and behavior exhibited and didn’t think either side of the room had acted professionally.

Selectman Paul Robitaille responded that he felt the board of selectmen had provided the budget committee with “pretty lean” budgets for the past 10 years, Town Manager Robin Frost was more critical of the committee. Frost called out the committee on not knowing their job and announced that if she had been eligible to sign the petition she would have because she does not believe the committee knows what they are doing. She illustrated that point by asking if any of the committee members present knew what was the overall decrease in the budget presented to them over the recent weeks. She also asked if any of the board members could explain the 10 percent rule. Two committee members attempted to explain the rule that limits the power of the voters at town meeting to increase the budget committee’s recommended budget but both fell short, Frost said.

When none could answer the question of the budget reduction, after saying they were not at the point yet where they examined the budget as a whole, and implications of any changes they might make, she pointed out that at this time the budget is down 10.9 percent from the 2011 appropriation, or a cut of close to $500,000. Frost said the petitioned warrant articles with associated costs yet to be received have not yet been factored into that number so it may change slightly, but that is where it stands as presented to the budget committee.

She said if the board is disappointed in management, “right back at ‘cha.”

Holmes responded saying he had not realized the cut was that substantial and called it “respectable” while noting that in his opinion it wasn’t that far out of line with his proposal last year to cut $800,000.

Lary said the budget committee as designed by the state is a check and balance with the task of analyzing the budget not micromanaging it. His see PETITION page 10

NEW YOU! Mr. Pizza

You spoke. We listened! Our customers have asked us for a Gluten Free Menu, Dairy Free Menu, Vegetarian Menu, Vegan Menu, and many more requests for dietary restrictions and allergies. However our menu is already large and can be altered 100 different ways.

Thank You and Happy New Year!

Gateway Gallery Shadow Boxing is an ideal way to save those bulky mementos. From masks to uniforms to collections of almost anything. Keep in mind very thick items will stand off a wall a considerable distance - for instance we framed a mask that took a 6” deep frame, it sits on a bookcase, but hung on a wall it might be problematical.

A sports jersey will need a frame no

more than 2 1/2” deep depending on how you choose to display it. Each piece or collection of memorabilia will dictate its own method. Be prepared to spend some time with your framer to achieve the arrangement most pleasing to you.

Be open with your ideas so you and your framer can work together, remember these are your memories.

New Year...

Chandler says county government should be abolished

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — County government should be abolished, a state representative told about 20 attendees at the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council’s Eggs and Issues breakfast forum last week.

The purpose of the forum was to educate the public about the role of county government in New Hampshire. The state has 10 counties and Conway is in Carroll County.

Carroll County government includes the sheriff’s office, registry of deeds, the nursing home, jail, county attorney’s office and a farm. A group of 14 state representatives, called the delegation, passes Carroll County’s budget, which Carroll County commissioners manage with help from department heads.

Carroll County’s budget is still in flux but as of now it stands at about $27 million. Budgets are passed in March.

“Today we’re going to explore the mysteries of county government, probably our least understood area of government,” said moderator George Epstein.

Clashes between officials became most apparent after Epstein asked why the state has a county government. Epstein suggested the nursing home could be privatized and corrections department’s responsibilities could be given to the state of New Hampshire.

“Couldn’t we just eliminate a layer of government?” asked Epstein.

PETITION from page 7

only concern with doing away with the committee is that the 10 percent rule goes out the window.

According to RSA 32:18, in towns where a budget committee exists, the total amount appropriated at town meeting cannot exceed the budget committee’s recommendation (proposed budget and recommended warrant articles) by more than 10 percent. This 10 percent figure is calculated on the recommended appropriation excluding fixed costs.

Rep. Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett) replied, “The simple answer to that is yes.”

Chandler said the county government is expensive. In fact, Chandler said his county tax bill cost about the same as his tax bill from the town of Bartlett.

Chandler also questioned if every New Hampshire county really needs its own jail. He also said it’s unnecessary for the county to have a nursing home when private companies can do the same work. The sheriff’s office should stick serving writs and providing court security.

“You cannot find anywhere that they are charged with going out on the highway and running radar and running investigations,” said Chandler of the sheriff’s office “It’s something that’s taken on a life of its own. That should be done by the state police.”

Further, Chandler said a few years ago lawmakers were misled when they were asked to build a new jail.

Lawmakers were told the then new jail facility wouldn’t need any additional personnel. Within a year, the county needed to add three new jail employees. This year, the commission is proposing to raise taxes by 17 percent.

“Let’s get in the real world, folks,” said Chandler. “County government slides under the radar screen and I think it needs to be brought to the forefront because it’s having a real big impact on your taxes.”

Rep. Frank McCarthy (R-Conway) wouldn’t entirely eliminate county Fixed costs are defined as principal and interest on bonds, principal and interest on notes (except TANs), and mandatory assessments imposed by the county, state or federal governments.

With all of the town departments’ budgets presented, the budget committee began working on their revisions last night (Thursday, Jan. 19), with a 6:30 p.m., work session. Their budget revisions, along with all warrant articles, will be presented to the voters for a public hearing on Feb. 8

government but says he opposes “empire building.” He said that included the commission’s plan to move Carroll County’s University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension service from Conway to Ossipee.

The commission would put extension service into the old nursing home building. In September the county just completed construction of the new nursing home and the old one is now vacant.

“Two years ago it was said that building (the old nursing home) had leaky roofs, it was full of black mold, it was uninhabitable, it had to be torn down,” said McCarthy. “Now, once they got the new nursing home, all of a sudden that building is pretty good.”

Then, McCarthy said the commission suggested renting the old building out to people who wished to visit their “friends in jail.” The delegation told the commission it could look at renovating the old nursing home if the project cost less than $1 million.

The commission, however, came back with a plan that cost about $1.5 million.

“Why would anybody in their right mind spend even a couple hundred thousand dollars to move UNH Cooperative to Ossipee?” asks McCarthy.

“There’s no good reason except you will be a little closer to the farm and the pigsty. To me that’s empire building.”

McCarthy went on to criticise the Blue Loon transit service. The Blue Loon is run by a non-profit organization that is asking the county for $20,000. Recently, McCarthy learned one of the Blue Loon’s transit services

has a budget of $210,000 but is only projected to deliver 1,400 rides.

“They are going to need 90,000 riders, paying $2.25 each, just to break even,” said McCarthy.

Commissioner Dorothy Solomon defended county government by saying local control is important to New England residents. She said that’s why New Hampshire has towns and county governments. As for the county nursing home, it accepts people who need the care regardless if they can pay for it, she said.

Solomon answered McCarthy’s concern about the extension service by saying Ossipee is more central than Conway. Further, tax dollars won’t have to be used to pay rent to the private landlord in Conway if the extension service moves to Ossipee.

In response, McCarthy agreed with Solomon that government should be close to the people but he questioned if Carroll County even had anything that counts as a government.

“When you look at the county, that’s not a government,” said McCarthy.

“They can’t enact laws. They don’t govern. They are overseers of county property and county employees. They are not a government per se.”

Audience member Ray Shakir asked how county government could be abolished.

“I really didn’t hear one good reason why this thing should prolong itself,” said Shakir.

Abolishing county government would have to be done legislatively, said Chandler. It’s been tried in the past without success. However there’s

New Year... a growing dissatisfaction with county government.

“By golly we’re gaining steam,” said Chandler who later added the county attorney’s office could be abolished and its responsibilities given to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office.

County commission chair David Sorensen said a problem at the Carroll County Attorney’s office is the assistant county attorneys are paid much less than their peers in the other New Hampshire counties. This forces Carroll County to hire attorneys with little experience. They stay for a short time and then leave for higher paying jobs elsewhere.

The commission is responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the county. Sometimes it has tough issues to handle. For example, a jail inmate is suing the county and the commission expects a U.S. Marshal serve them shortly, said Sorensen.

Carroll County has three commissioners. Commissioner Asha Kenney wasn’t at Eggs and Issues. Each commissioner must come from one of three districts in the county. However, all the commissioners are elected in countywide elections in November. Commissioners are paid $10,500 per year. In contrast, state representatives are paid $100 per year.

The county officials also aired their grievances about sheriff Christopher Conley, who wasn’t at the event.

Clashes between Conley and the county commission have made headlines for years. County sheriffs in New Hampshire are also elected officials. However, the county commission still drafts the sheriff budgets.

“When there’s a personality conflict with an elected official there’s no procedure as to how to handle that,” said Sorensen. “There’s no process of reprimand for elected officials.”

McCarthy replied conflicts between commissioners and sheriffs have come up in other New Hampshire counties. The New Hampshire Supreme Court says a sheriff “must” cooperate with the commission unless the commission is interfering with his or her law enforcement responsibilities, according to McCarthy.

One recent conflict between the commission and the sheriff involves Conley’s decision to hire a prosecutor when there’s no money for that position in the budget. Sorensen said when department heads anticipate going over their budgets (line items) by over $1,000, then they need to get approval from the county commission to move money around.

“He can’t do that,” said Sorensen of Conley’s decision to hire a prosecutor. “We told Lt. (Mike) Santuccio that they have to terminate that position.”

McCarthy agreed that department heads can’t spend money on items that haven’t been approved by the delegation and the commission. McCarthy said Conley defied that rule last year when he spent a few thousand dollars on exercise clothes for deputies without having such a line in the budget. McCarthy said Sorensen has tried to put a stop to undisciplined spending.

The tone of the forum started off nicely. Rep. Karen Umberger (R-Conway) diplomatically explained there’s a “natural tension” between the commission, which drafts the budget, and the delegation, which approves the money. There’s also tension between delegation subcommittees and the full delegation.

“We tend to appear as though we’re having these horrible arguments back and forth, said Umberger. “On the other hand, that’s a healthy exchange because what we end up doing is providing a better budget than we would have otherwise.”

McCarthy, one of the most fiscally conservative members of the delegation, said the cost of county is reasonable. His last county tax bill was $1.05 per $1,000 of property value.

McCarthy said his tax bill from North Conway Water Precinct cost about the same amount.

“I think the county gets a pretty good bang for the buck,” said McCar-

thy.

Finally, Epstein asked Sorensen how a jail inmate David Hobson, 34, of York County Maine, was able to escape from the jail last month.

Sorensen said the county is in the process of hiring a former county jail superintendent from another New Hampshire county to do an “external investigation.” Sorensen said in his opinion it was a failing of management not to have enough corrections officers at the facility. Other inmates may have helped push Hobson over the fencing. Also the county is looking at changing the “fencing arrangements.”

FRONT DESK GUEST SERVICE AGENT

by Abigail Van Buren

DAUGHTER’S BEHAVIOR PUTS HER ON THE BRINK OF BANISHMENT

DEAR ABBY: I caught my 16-year-old daughter, “Krista,” smoking marijuana. I punished her for it, but never told my wife because I was afraid she’d force me to make a decision that I don’t want to make.

I have been married to my second wife for three years. For much of that time, Krista has been a nightmare. When she goes to school, more often than not she’s in the principal’s office for bad behavior. At home she’s worse. She doesn’t listen to anyone. We have tried every type of punishment we can think of and nothing has worked.

Recently, my wife brought up the idea of sending Krista to a boarding school for troubled teens. At first, the suggestion made me angry, but after the marijuana incident I am more receptive to it. I am wracked with guilt. Sending my daughter away makes me feel like a failure as a father. But there may be no other choice. How does a parent know when enough is enough? -- FED-UP FATHER IN MINNESOTA DEAR FATHER: Do not send your daughter away to a boarding school for “troubled teens” without first having a psychologist identify what is troubling her. If you do what your wife is suggesting, your daughter could return home with more problems than she left with. Sending her away should be a LAST resort. Some family counseling should be tried first.

DEAR ABBY: A friend has been confiding in me, telling me her husband abuses her. She says it has gone on the entire 12 years they have been together. He does it in front of the kids, sometimes even while she’s nursing or holding their youngest. He also threatens to shoot her. I’m afraid for her safety.

She left him once, but went back after he promised to change and temporarily became the charming man she wishes him to be. She knows she needs to leave again, and I have

told her I’ll help her in any way I can to make it happen. She’s trying to hold out until she finishes her degree and can financially support the kids on her own. I’m afraid she won’t make it that long. I feel so helpless. I worry that by standing by and not taking some kind of action, I’ll be partly responsible for anything that may happen to the kids. On the other hand, she tells me these things in confidence. What can I do to help? -TERRIFIED FOR MY FRIEND DEAR TERRIFIED: Continue encouraging your friend to leave. A man who abuses, terrorizes and threatens to shoot his wife -- in front of the children, yet -- would have no hesitation about hurting all of them.

By now she should have realized that her abuser will never be the man she imagined him to be. The time to leave is while things are calm -- before his next outburst. In order for him to control her, he needs to keep her dependent. If he senses that she’s nearing a point where she can support herself and the children without him, he could explode.

Make sure she knows how to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline. The toll-free number is 800-799-7233.

The experts there can help her formulate as safe an escape plan as possible.

DEAR ABBY: I am currently in a relationship that has become a roller coaster ride for the last few months. My signifi cant other is always accusing me of cheating. He also starts arguments for no reason. Sometimes I wonder if he is having an affair and trying to throw the blame on me for his guilt issues. What do you think? -- ARGUED OUT IN INDIANA DEAR ARGUED OUT: That’s very possible. Another reason might be that he’s no longer interested in you and wants to break up. Rather than tolerate his emotional abuse, take the bull by the horns and ask him.

Berlin stays hot clip Eagles, 69-45

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN--Seniors Sam Aldrich and Curtis Arsenault combined to score 35 points and grab 22 rebounds, helping the Berlin Mountaineers to their tenth straight victory of the season over Division II opponent Kennett in Berlin Wednesday.

Berlin took an early 11-7 lead after one quarter of play getting six points from Aldrich and a three pointer from team mate Jake Drouin. For Kennett, Mike Lautenschlager had three points to pace the visitors.

In the second quarter, Berlin out pointed the Eagles 19-14 to lead 30-21 at half time. Arsenault nine markers and Drouin another three ball, contributed to the offense. Brandon DiLucchio and Lautenschlager had three points each for Kennett.

The Eagles did a good job of not allowing Berlin to get into any kind of rhythm, and after three quarters Berlin held a 13 point advantage at 47-34.

Aldrich seven, Drouin four, Zack Bacon and Arsenault three points, shared the ball equally. Lautenschlager heated up and scored nine of his teams’ thirteen points for the quarter.

The intense play finally wore down Kennett in the fourth quarter. The Mountaineers journeyed numerous times to the foul line and outscored the Eagles 22-11 to make the final score 69-45. Junior guard Dimitri Giannos led the big quarter by scoring seven

points. The Eagles had several different players with a hoop in the last quarter.

“It was difficult to get into a flow in this game,” said Berlin head coach Don Picard. “There were 49 free throws between the two teams and a lot of dead ball turnovers on both sides. We are shooting free throws well right now. Four players (Arsenault, Aldrich, Drouin, and Giannos) are all shooting better than 70 percent from the line.”

For the game, Kennett shot 14-53 from the floor and managed to net 5-15 from behind the three point line. Kennett was 15-22 from the foul line. Lautenschlager led the Eagles in scoring, finishing the game at 13 points.

The Mountaineers were 23-64 from the floor and 5-19 from behind the arc.

Berlin was 18-26 from the free throw line. Arsenault 18, Aldrich 17, and Drouin 12 all reached double digits in scoring for the home team.

On Friday, Berlin plays host to the Franklin Golden Tornadoes at 6:30 p.m.

Colebrook rolls by wounded Huskies

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

COLEBROOK-- Mohawk Josee Brunault led all scorers netting 23 points, leading Colebrook past Gorham 53-31 in a girls’ Division IV basketball game in Colebrook Wednesday.

The Huskies struggled with the Colebrook press in the first quarter and fell behind 16-4. Brunault led the charge netting eleven points and teammate Erica Cass had five points.

Jess Stewart and Jaimie Bisson had the Huskie hoops.

Gorham took better care of the basketball in the second quarter and out pointed Colebrook 15-14, to trail 30-19 at half time. Brooke Nadeau had five points and teammates Bisson and Devon Cyr had four points each for the Lady Huskies. Brunault had three hoops for the home team.

Gorham got the first two hoops of the third quarter and appeared to be headed in the right direct down just 30-23. However, Colebrook finished out the quarter on a 13-4 run to lead 43-27 after three quarters.

Four different Huskies had a hoop

and Mohawk’s Megan Hamel and Brunault had four points each.

Gorham was playing with just seven players and it caught up to them in the final quarter. Colebrook out pointed the tiring Huskies 10-4 to make the final 53-31. “We just didn’t take good care of the basketball,” said Huskie mentor Pete Girouard. “The girls played hard and that’s what we want to see. It will be nice to get a full healthy team just once this season.”

The Mohawks hit 20 shots from the floor and went 10-22 from the foul line. Brunault led all scorers at 23 markers. The Gorham girls had 15 field goals and were a dismal 1-14 from the foul line. Bisson had twelve points for the Huskies.

Gorham will play host to Lisbon on Friday in an important contest.
