Beaudette gives back to United Way

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – Last August, Mike Beaudette suffered a brain hemorrhage that left him in a coma for a month. As he worked to recover in a rehabilitation center for three months, he worried about his family’s financial struggle at home.

The United Way of Northern N.H. stepped in to help, using a fund created specifically to address unmet community needs. This week, Beaudette made an effort to repay the United Way for its help by presenting the agency with a $1,000 check.

“I’m giving back a little piece of what they gave me,” Beaudette said. “You can’t put a price tag on peace of mind,” he said.

Beaudette was working at Mountain Tire when he had the brain hemorrhage while delivering tires on his way home from work.

He said doctors at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, where he had surgery, told his wife he would probably not recover enough to walk or feed himself. But working hard at Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center in Greenfield, he defied the odds and can do both although he has weaksee BEAUDETTE page 6

GORHAM— The town of Gorham this year will officially recognize National Train Day and Amtrak’s 40th anniversary celebration.

The Gorham Board of Selectmen voted Monday night to author a proclamation recognizing National Train Day on May 7. This year’s train day coincides with Amtrak’s 40th anniversary, which the selectmen decided to recognize as well.

Selectman David Graham said marking the event not only recognizes the town’s heritage through the railroad but also it’s future, if passenger rail services resumes through Gorham.

“It gets people thinking about rail see SELECTMEN page 6

HAPPY SECRETARIES DAY Don’t forget to say thank you!

Page 2 — THE BERLIN DAILY SUN, Friday, April 29, 2011

‘Sister Act’ musical hits Broadway (NY Times) — When the wimples start quivering, the pinched mouths break into sunbeam smiles, and the nuns start rocking to raise the Gothic rafters, all’s right in the kingdom of musical comedy at “Sister Act.” Who could resist the vision of a stage full of saintly sisters flaring their gams in unison like the Rockettes, or swiveling their hips, Supremes style, to the silken beat of an R&B tune?

Presumably nobody in the audience at the Broadway Theater, where this latest stage adaptation of a hit movie opened on Wednesday night.

When the jubilant choral numbers subside, as inevitably they must, “Sister Act” slumps back into bland musical-theater grooves and mostly lacks the light of invigorating inspiration.

Based on the movie starring Whoopi Goldberg as a club singer forced to smother her sequined soul beneath a nun’s habit after she witnesses a murder, “Sister Act” has been seen in several previous incarnations, most successfully in London.

The show is tame and frankly a little dull. As adapted by the book writers Cheri and Bill Steinkellner and scored

by Alan Menken (music) and Glenn Slater (lyrics), this sentimental story of a bad girl showing the good sisters how to get down has all the depth of a communion wafer, and possibly a little less bite.

4,451 U.S. military deaths in Iraq.

South assesses the toll after deadly barrage of tornadoes

Libyans find hospitality in Tunisia

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

PLEASANT GROVE, Ala. (NY Times) — The death toll continued to climb Thursday following a barrage of severe weather that ripped through the South, leaving behind a trail of flattened homes and buildings in a region already battered by storms.

Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama said Thursday that at least

194 people had died in his state because of the storms, bringing the total number of people killed to at least 280 across six states.

Hundreds of people were injured, officials said.

Tornado watches were issued Thursday by the National Weather Service along nearly the entire East Coast — from Georgia

to the Boston area — a designation that carries with it the possibility of severe storms and winds in excess of 100 miles per hour.

“We expect an eruption of tornadic activity and thunderstorms along a boundary moving along the Eastern Seaboard,” said Mike Mach, a National Weather Service meteorologist.

U.S. economic growth slows to 1.8 percent rate in quarter (NY Times) — The American economy slowed to a crawl in the first quarter, but economists are hopeful that the setback will be temporary.

Total output grew at an annual pace of 1.8 percent from January through March, the Commerce Department said Thursday, after having expanded at an annual rate of 3.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010.

When the year first began, economists had been expecting a much more robust growth rate

of about 4 percent, only to be barraged by bad report after bad report as the days wore on.

Turmoil in the Middle East set off a jump in oil prices. Winter blizzards shuttered businesses and delayed construction, causing investments in nonresidential structures like office buildings to fall by 21.7 percent compared with an increase of 7.6 percent at the end of 2010.

Imports, which are subtracted from output, surged, and military spending sank.

TATAOUINE, Tunisia (NY Times) — A century ago, fleeing Italian colonizers, the inhabitants of Libya’s remote western mountains descended upon this windwhipped Tunisian outpost, many to stay permanently.

With those desert plateaus once again under siege, this time by the armies of the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, about 30,000 Libyans have repeated their ancestors’ flight. Astonishingly, to aid workers, hundreds upon hundreds of Tunisians, some of them the descendants of those earlier refugees, have opened their homes to these Libyan families since early April, when Colonel Qaddafi’s forces went on the attack.

There are just two modest clusters of tents housing around 2,500 people. The vast majority of the newcomers are now living with Tunisian families here and in neighboring villages, an area that in normal times counts just 150,000 residents.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen such an impressive response,” said Firas Kayal, a spokesman in Tunisia for the United Nations.

Obama’s approval ratings in N.H. down in latest poll MANCHESTER — A struggling economy and concerns over health care are taking their toll on President Barack Obama’s job approval numbers in New Hampshire.

According to the latest WMUR Granite State Poll, 44 percent of those polled believe that Obama is doing a good job, while 52 percent disapprove of his performance.

The poll of 504 randomly selected New Hampshire adults was conducted by telephone by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center from April 15 through April 26. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.4 percent.

Obama’s job approval numbers are down 2 points since February. UNH pollster Andy Smith said they spell trouble for the president in New Hampshire.

“The important thing about that from a political science perspective is that 46 percent is the magic number,” he said. “If you are above that, a president almost always gets re-elected.

Below 46, they often do not get reelected.”

According to the poll, New Hampshire voters are also growing more pessimistic about the direction the country is headed. Only 32 percent of those asked said they think the country is on the right track, while 63 percent said they think the country is headed in the wrong direction.

In matchups against potential Republican presidential candidates,

the polls shows Obama would lose to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

The poll shows Romney beating Obama 50 to 43 percent. Smith said the result shows Obama losing steam with a particular group of voters.

“He’s in danger of losing those independents,” Smith said. “They’ve been sliding away over the last year because of health care and the continuing weakness in the economy.”

When pitted against former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Obama comes out on top, 45 to 38 percent. But Smith said again the numbers signal trouble for the incumbent.

“Even against a largely unknown candidate, Obama is not able to reach 50 percent,” Smith said. “And then when you put him up against social conservative Mike Huckabee, Obama is still not doing that well. He’s leading, but only by a 46 percent to 42 percent margin over Huckabee.”

The poll did not ask whether voters would choose Donald Trump over Obama, but Smith said the billionaire and reality TV show host could be a factor.

“For Republican voters, they want to see somebody attacking Obama personally,” Smith said. “He is really disliked by Republicans right now, so the red meat that Donald is throwing them right now is exactly what they want.”

We are not responsible for city’s strife To the editor: As part of the1 10 lowest paid employees of the city of Berlin, we would like Ms. Doucette to know that we are not responsible for the financial mess the city is in today. Please do not confuse the top 10 paid employees with the rest of us who serve as public employees. Some of us have as much as 28 years of service to the city and our salaries fall in the poverty level of income in the US which is $22,500 for a family of four.

We are the full time employees who wait on you at city hall collecting your taxes, registering your cars, dogs, etc. We are also the employees who work at the library, work behind the scenes handling all of payroll, accounts payables, welfare, health department and recreation; earning from $19,000 to $25,000 per year.

Many of us support families and have to resort to fuel assistance, food stamps and Healthy Kids to keep a roof over our family’s heads and to be able to afford to keep our children insured. We are among the working poor of Berlin. Although we appreciate having jobs and benefits, we certainly earn them and do not want to be regarded

constantly as the main reason for the city budget problems.

The Berlin City Council has worked hard to try to keep the tax rate down, and it seems that everyone wants to balance the city budget on the backs of its city employees. If Ms. Doucette thinks that a pay cut from our salaries would save the city budget then she needs to do her homework and propose a different solution to that problem. It is true that the unemployment is high, so one can figure out that jobs would be one solution.

Diversifying our economy, attracting businesses and development is needed to expand our tax base to support the services associated with operating a municipality.

Unlike you Ms. Doucette, we understand the situation being taxpayers ourselves who choose to ride out the tough times and stay in Berlin. Please do not ask us to work for less than we already do.

End Of Month Potpourri A popular song of the 1920s, written by Lewis Silvers and Buddy DeSylva, began with the sure promise that “Though April showers may come your way, they bring the flowers that bloom in May.” Well, here in the North Country of New Hampshire, we surely hope that the happyending song, sung so successfully by Al Jolson, is as good as its word. We have had enough of cold, snow, ice, and rain. It’s time that belated bluebird made its appearance.

The winter sports enthusiasts have had their time to frolic. It’s time for the rest of us to have ours. So, come on, Al, sing that song from your place in the skies for us once again.

We could use a happy song right about now.

Item Two for this week’s article is to remind all writers in the North Country that this coming Monday night is Writer’s Night Out. Contrary to a news release that appeared in several area papers this week, Monday’s meeting will be held in the Cookhouse at the Northern Forest Heritage Park, on Main Street, in Berlin. (The reason for the necessary change in venue is a last minute notification that we would not be able to meet at the White Mountain Café, in Gorham.)

The New Hampshire Writer’s Project, based at Southern New Hampshire University, in Manchester, has finally been able to reach out to those of us up here who care about and engage in the written word, and we shouldn’t let this opportunity pass us by.

It’s difficult enough up here making connections and having an opportunity to meet with others of a like mind. These first Monday of each month meetings provide just such an opportunity. Given that another item on the agenda will now have to be finding a more permanent meeting place and perhaps a change in meeting time, it is important that all who are interested in having such an organization in the area be at Monday’s meeting, from 5p.m. to 7 p.m., at the NFHP cookhouse. I know that I’ll be there.

And while I’m on the subject of writing, all North Country writers – and, really anyone who is deeply interested in the written and spoken word - should mark their calendars for Saturday, 16 July 2011, at Northern Forest Heritage Park. On that day, NFHP will play host to what it hopes will be the

first of an annual Book Fair and Writer’s Workshop. The morning’s activities will include four workshops, under the auspices of the New Hampshire Writer’s Project, and the afternoon will be given to poets and prose writers reading from their own works, and publishers and writers having their works on display for purchase and signings.

Space for the later will be somewhat limited, so for those who would like to participate, an early call to NFHP (603-752-7202) or to me (603-449-2558) will help to assure a place for your display. (Just so everyone knows, I am a member of the Advisory Board for the Park and am rather heavily involved in the Book Fair/Writer’s Workshop project. I am also a member of the New Hampshire Writer’s Project.)

Item Three comes under the heading of a Mea Culpa and a setting-of-the-record straight. The photograph accompanying last Friday’s article, “Creation’s Dawn,” was improperly identified. As anyone who has visited the national and state parks in the Moab area of Utah knows, the photo was taken at Mesa Arch, in Canyonlands National Park, not at the state’s Dead Horse Point Park, as labeled. As I failed to identify the photos I sent to the “Daily Sun,” the captioning error falls on me.

Finally, as April comes to its end, sports fans have had quite a ride. After being down two games to none, the come-back Bruins are now moving on to the next round of their championship quest; the Celtics are awaiting their next round of play to begin in their quest for another banner; and, although the last couple of games have seen a relapse, the Red Sox are finally beginning to shake their April lethargy and show some signs of being the championship-caliber team everyone expected to see from the start of spring training. Fortunately, the baseball season is a long one, and, while April’s games count just as much in the final standings as do those in September. No team in their division is running away from the field, so we may yet see the Henry-Epstein-Francona entry bring their third World Series trophy in eight years back to Fenway Park.

Guest Column

By Mayor Paul Grenier

Mayor’s Report, April 28, 2011 We have had a flurry of activity in Berlin since I last reported a month ago.

First, Patriarch Partners has emerged as the entity that is working to close the deal and purchase the Cascade Mill from Counsel RB Capital. This has been a tough deal to finalize for a number of reasons. Any time an asset of this nature emerges from bankruptcy proceedings from two countries, there will be difficulties.

There were difficulties in locating and retrieving certain deeds to some assets that make up the complex. The natural gas project,

until now a function of AVRRDD, had many different pots of federal and state monies and loan guarantees that took time to transfer.

Things seem to be on track and certainly the folks at Patriarch are in a full court press to get going. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Lynn Tilton, the principal of Patriarch. I found this lady to be a true American patriot. She understands the plight of manufacturing in the US, is bound and determined to succeed here with the blunt honesty and, most importantly, the capital necessary to make this mill see REPORT page 5

Writer’s Night Out meeting location has been changed BERLIN -- The Monday night meeting of the Writer’s Night Out group that was to be held at the White Mountain Café, in Gorham, has had to be changed due to a last minute notification that, because of necessary changes in their schedule, the Café would not be available for use. More information on this will be RESULT from page 4

ton or Concord or it could even be Mars since we get the same results from each and every one of them!

They simply “visit” to garner a few votes and treat us like the unwanted, ugly, buck toothed red-headed stepchild! I never thought I would be a radical anything when it came to politics, but stealing a line from the movie Network, “I am mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore”! I have only lived here since 1991, so yes we are still the new family in town, but this is a fantastic area to live and raise a family but the only people who care about the North Country are already here! So we need to think global and act local. The way we can do that is to apply some political heat to our representative and not let them get away with giving us lip service while taking our tax dollars and using them to “visit” us every couple of years when it is time to run for reelection again. As Rep. Bass stated he cannot wave a wand and make things change.

REPORT from page 4

world class. This mill will not be a long success story unless all of us here in the Androscoggin Valley work as a team to forge its future together.

With a conditional PUC approval of the purchase power agreement (PPA) with PSNH, Laidlaw Berlin Biopower has been busy with their financial people reworking their proposal to comply with the PUC order. Although complex, Laidlaw saw a significant sum of revenue in the two early years reduced to protect NH ratepayers from potential overpayment. With an amended business plan forthcoming, my hope is we could have groundbreaking before July 1. The whole NH EFSECIPUC process for permitting a plant over 30MW has been an education for me. If anyone ever wonders how come companies go overseas to manufacture goods, think of this fiveyear regulatory nightmare.

It is with great sadness that this coming Monday evening I will accept the resignation of Robert Danderson from the Berlin City Council. Bob recently retired from PSNH, sold his home on Church Street, and will be rejoining his wife Marty in Florida.

For three years, Marty has been working in the health care field there while Bob was in Berlin finishing his career with PSNH. Bob and Marty have a bunch of frequent flyer miles they’ve accumulated while living at opposite ends of the country. I have a very deep respect for Bob as a human being, but his service to Berlin will forever be his mark. Mayor Danderson was the driving force behind the development of

discussed at Monday night’s meeting.

The May 2, meeting will be held in the Cookhouse, at the Northern Forest Heritage Park, on Main Street, in Berlin. The time frame, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., will remain in effect for this meeting. Contact Dick Conway, 603449-2558, ithacabound35@gmail. com.

Well we are not looking for a wand, but let’s hold all of our representation in Concord and Washington to the fire, and ask them to commit political suicide and actually do something, anything for the North Country besides patronize us and tell us how bad things are here. We know how bad things are, thank you, now do something to help all of your constituents not just those in more populated areas. So the next time someone with political office aspirations “visits” they should be asked some hard questions like; If you are elected, specifically how will that benefit the North Country? What is your plan to improve the economy here in the North Country? And then when we find one that actually helps the North County as they promised we should do our best to keep him/her in office!

What ever happened to the good old days when both parties worked toward a greater good rather then a greater chance to be re-elected?

Joe Rodgers Gorham the Jericho Mountain State Park, took the “bull by the horns” to get Senator Judd Gregg to consider Berlin as the preferred site for the Bureau of Prison’s new facility in the northeast. Bob was a fiscal conservative, made people accountable for spending precious public money, but never denied spending monies when justified. I always knew where Bob stood on any issue and never wavered with the wind. I will miss his honesty and dedication to the citizens of Berlin. Please join me in wishing Bob and Marty well in their new life in the Sunshine State!

Lastly, the Berlin City Council will be proceeding to the public hearing phase of the FY 2012 fiscal budget.

That meeting is slated for Wednesday May 25, with a final passage on Monday June 13.

• There are many unknowns still to be determined, but it will be nearly impossible to not layoff a number of employees.

Health insurance remains a cost item out of our control and given that Berlin has a 10 percent unemployment rate, we must contain costs to taxpayers. This problem is nationwide and although I don’t agree with the tactics some states are using against their public employees, the fact remains there just isn’t enough money to go around without help from the employees themselves.

Young children will be back on the streets with bicycles now that the snow is gone. Please, drive with caution and obey our traffic laws, for our kids’ sake.

Until June.

BEAUDETTE from page one

Beaudette said he was lucky to have so many friends. He said the fund-raising and the money provided by United Way allowed him to concentrate on getting better, knowing his family had what it needed. As luck would have it, while he was out, just about all of the family’s major appliances broke down. Beaudette used his ESOP funds from working at Berlin City Dealership to replace them.

This March he went on Social Security total disability, although Beaudette pledges he has not given up on going back to work some day.

With his financial picture secure, Beaudette decided to give back to those agencies that help him.

His first stop was United Way where Monday morning he stopped by to hand them a $1,000 check.

“I wish it could be more,” he said.

United Way officials are thrilled that Beaudette is making a donation to repay the agency. Deb Foss, chair of the Untied Way board of trustees, said Beaudette’s repayment will insure funds will be there to help someone else.

His next stop is the police department’s Christmas Elf program. Beaudette said the police department program made sure his children had Christmas so he plans to make a donation there next.

track was driven in Promontory Summit, Utah on May 10, 1869.

Amtrak started the holiday in 2008.

Events marking train day are held across the country, though Amtrak plans to host four large celebrations in Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia; Los Angeles; and Chicago, according to the fact sheet. It adds 185 local celebrations were held in 2010.

Amtrak will unveil an exhibit train during the Washington, D.C. train day celebration, according to a press release. The release adds the train will then travel across the country during the company’s 40th year.

Amtrak connects 46 states, the District of Columbia and three Canadian provinces, according to background material on the company. It adds the company had 28.7 million passengers ride on more than 300 daily trains last year.

While he was working hard at Crotched Mountain, his wife Shelly was struggling to cover expenses for the family, which includes two teenagers at home, working as manager at the White Mountain Chalet.

His friends organized a fundraiser at the Chalet and Chalet owner Lloyd Murray contacted United Way Executive Director Roland Duchesne to see if her agency could help the family.

Duchesne said she has a fund created through private donations that is designed to help with unmet community needs such as situations like this where something happens in a family and their needs change.

“Any one of us could be in this position,” said Duchesne.

In some cases, the family does not meet normal income guidelines. Duchesne stressed there are resources for chronic cases with the various social agencies working together to make sure needs are met. The fund is designed for more unusual cases like this one.

“We knew they were going to have resources coming in,” Duchesne said.

Since this is the first time the town has marked National Train Day, which is in its fourth year, Graham said there’s only going to be some informational pamphlets and posters available in town.

He added if train day continues in the future, it could expand into something more with educational programming and bigger events.

Resident Don Provencher agreed to present the board’s proclamation to representatives from Amtrak during a celebration in White River Junction on May 7. Provencher first raised the idea of the town doing something to recognize National Train Day. National Train Day commemorates the first day the transcontinental railroad was created 142 years ago, according to a fact sheet on the event.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Seek mutuality in all things. Create relationships with those who show strong interest in you and what you do. Don’t chase. Only move forward when you feel the “click” of togetherness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’re not in a hurry; still you see the benefit of cutting to the quick. Honesty is the most direct route. You’ll speak your mind and set the stage for open communication in the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll provide a fun distraction from the task at hand. What needs to be accomplished will happen -- business first is your motto -- but not without a good dose of delight and whimsy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Stress can be healthy and motivating, or it can be restrictive and debilitating.

You’ll tune in to the differences between good stress and bad stress. You’ll find the balance you seek.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be dealing with tough customers. Make sure the basics are covered before you get too ambitious. Keep your offerings simple so that you will be better able to serve them with immediacy.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 29).

Your desire for personal security will be well satisfied over the next five weeks.

With quiet strength and determination, you will bring about a desired change to your domestic scene. May is romantic. June affords a stellar opportunity to develop your talent. You’ll add to a collection in June. There’s a special connection with Cancer and Scorpio. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 11, 21, 24 and 2.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are prepared for any occurrence at all -- like sudden hunger, a flat tire or a fit of extreme ennui. The care you take in being on the ready helps you relax and experience the moments.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want any interaction with you to be a pleasant experience. Because of this, you will feel compelled to give and do more. As you strive to exceed the expectations anyone might have, consider that sometimes less is more.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll benefit from being available to the world today. So avoid letting your calls get handled by the voice mail. Personalization will matter. Your human touch is valued by all you encounter.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes you’re wary of groups, daunted by the prospects of fitting in, learning the unspoken rules and understanding the charter. Let those worries go. There’s a group that matches your needs. Find it and join.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People need to know what you’re good at. Boast of your success. Better yet, find underhanded ways of delivering information so the praise is not coming directly from you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are mentally active, and your passionate emotions make it nearly impossible to stay calm, cool and collected. Tonight, empty your thoughts into a written form. You’ll sleep better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Take a moment to celebrate the discoveries and inventions that have provided you with a higher quality of life. You’ll appreciate an experience that could only occur at this moment in the modern

by Abigail Van Buren

DATING HIS LATE WIFE’S NURSE DISTRESSES WIDOWER’S FAMILY

DEAR ABBY: My husband’s darling mother died of cancer last summer. During the last month of her illness she was confined to bed, so we hired a nurse, “Lois,” to cover the night shift.

The day after the funeral, my husband’s father started calling Lois. Dad swore they were “just friends,” but continued pursuing her despite our strong disapproval. Two months later, they were dating. Last Thanksgiving, our first holiday without Mom, he cancelled plans to be with us and the grandkids to spend it with “friends” -- guess who? On Christmas it was the same story.

This has hit my husband hard. Dad and Mom were married for 50 years. We have always had a close family, particularly at holiday time. Are we wrong to feel that Dad and Lois are disrespecting Mom’s memory and to feel hurt and angry?

-- GRIEVING IN MINNESOTA DEAR GRIEVING: Please accept my sympathy for your family’s loss. While it may appear your father-in-law jumped quickly into a relationship, it could be he grieved during the time his wife was ill and has concerns that his own time may be limited, so he wants to enjoy life while he can.

As to missing the holidays, being there with his wife of 50 years conspicuously missing may have been more than he could face. So please, try to be understanding because I’m sure your mother-in-law’s death has been painful for all of you.

DEAR ABBY: After having a stroke, my mother spent the last few years of her life in a wonderful nursing facility.

She was an accomplished gardener and enjoyed sharing her bounty. Instead of sending her a fresh flower bouquet for Mother’s Day, I’d have some potted tomato plants delivered to her nursing home. On her death bed last year, she remind-

ed us to water her tomato plants. Sadly, those plants outlived her.

I cannot think of a more fitting tribute to her memory than to encourage your readers to provide living vegetable plants for their senior relatives. Most nurseries or florists will accommodate your request and, perhaps, could be persuaded to donate a plant or two to a local senior care center.

The joy of nurturing a living plant will continue through the summer. -- CAROLE IN SAN CLEMENTE DEAR CAROLE: What a sweet idea. Your mother appears to have been a generous and caring woman, and your letter shows the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

DEAR ABBY: When I was in high school, I was very popular and part of a large social group. That was three years ago.

Since graduation, I have been dealing with an anxiety disorder. It has reached the point where I can no longer work, go to school or have much of a social life. I am currently seeking treatment.

Whenever I’m in touch with someone I was close to in high school, I am always asked where I’m working now or what school I’m attending. I feel embarrassed because of my disorder and often I don’t respond because I don’t know what to say. Any ideas? -- SPEECHLESS IN ILLINOIS DEAR SPEECHLESS: You could say that you haven’t been well and needed to take some time to recover -- or, if you don’t want to reveal that much, say, “I decided to take some time to find myself,” which is common and sufficiently euphemistic. And the surest way to find treatment for your anxiety disorder would be to tell your family doctor you need to consult a mental health professional who specializes in anxiety disorders. Once you find one, you can quickly return to the mainstream of life.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW I.

WATER SYSTEM NAME ADDRESS PROJECT TITLE DWSRF PROJECT NUMBER

BERLIN WATER WORKS 55 WILLOW STREET BERLIN, NH 03570 WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS 0231010 - 08

II. INTRODUCTION The City of Berlin, New Hampshire, has applied for funds from the State of New Hampshire, Department of Environmental Services, in accordance with provisions of Chapter Env Dw 1100, rules of the department. These rules prescribe procedures for the application process concerning the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF). Additionally, the City of Berlin has applied for an EPA FY 2010 Grant. This document will discuss the requirements of Part Env Dw 1107 of these rules, the environmental review.

III. BACKGROUND Berlin Water Works is a municipal subdivision of the City of Berlin. Berlin Water Works was established by an act of the State Legislature Chapter 294, Laws of 1925 to provide fire protection and potable water requirements for the City. The Board of Water Commissioners, representing the City of Berlin Water Works (BWW), is applying for a New Hampshire State Revolving Loan (NHSRL) - FY 2010 Loan to continue the on-going Capital Improvement program to meet all Federal and State compliance requirements for drinking water quality and system reliability. This request is to continue the replacement of vintage 1890 through 1935, unlined 6” diameter cast iron pipe. The water main replaced will be the highest failure rate water mains in the BWW distribution system based on our records.

IV. PURPOSE and NEED The BWW distribution system has 50 miles of water mains. To date, approximately 23 miles have been replaced since the 1990’s. This application is for funding to replace a portion of the remaining 40,000 linear feet of 1890 thru 1935 unlined cast iron water mains that remains in the Berlin Water Works water distribution system. Most of the 1890 thru 1930’s unlined cast iron water mains have been in service more than 80 years, are severely corroded, and have sediment build-up which can create a public health risk and reduce fire protection capabilities.

Another aspect of this project will address the high number of “running water” customers. To prevent service line freeze-ups during the winter of 2001, the Berlin Water Works had 1003 running water customers out of 3500 total customers. In 2009 140 customers were allowed to run water and 587 customers remain on the active list. A high percentage of the remaining running water customers are located on the proposed areas of main line replacement.

The grant portion of this project will primarily focus on rehabilitation of the Brown Farm Well (BFW), which provides the only back-up water supply for the City. The work will include upgrading and downsizing of equipment required to operate the BFW. Also, this project is a first step toward elimination of a large diesel generator and replacing it with a much smaller gas unit. Improving the reliability of this well becomes more important with the start-up of a new federal prison and the possibility of a wood fired power plant being built in Berlin.

The BWW water rates are one of the highest in New Hampshire and the median household income is one of the lowest in the state. Without “force Account” funded work, the BWW will have to increase water rates to over $1000 / year for customers using 3400 cubic quarter. This would result in BWW being the most expensive water rate in the State. The BWW customer base cannot sustain this amount of water rate increase.

V. DETAILS of PROJECT The proposed work involves the replacement-improvements of 1890 through 1935 unlined 6-inch and 8-inch diameter cast iron water mains with eight-inch minimum size ductile iron or HDPE water mains with six feet of earth cover and installation of hydrants for water main flushing and for fire suppression. Where possible, looping will be done to eliminate dead ended lines. Water service lines in street R.O.W.’s will be lowered and insulated to prevent freezing of service lines at the same time they are removed from the old water main and connected to the new main. A list of the City of Berlin, NH streets (table #1) for water main line replacement and a map showing areas of line replacements (exhibit #1) are enclosed. In total, about 21,500 feet of new water main is proposed to be included in this funding application.

The current total estimated cost of the entire project to replace all vintage 1890 through 1935 unlined cast iron water mains in the Berlin distribution system is $10,000,000. The requested amount through the SRF is for $3,000,000 of funding to be applied towards the overall goal.

The amount of the State and Tribal Appropriations Grant (“STAG”) is $436,000., the majority of which will be applied toward improvements of the Brown Farm Well Supply. An additional 3,350 feet of distribution system improvements are also proposed to be funded through this grant.

VI. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS and MITIGATION The environmental concerns involved in this project are minimal and no adverse impacts are anticipated. The following areas of environmental concern summarize the possible impacts, and illustrate the major areas of potential impact. The primary impacts are short-term which will affect the area only during the period of construction.

Air: Air impacts will be limited to dust, and diesel exhaust odors created during the construction portion of the project. There should be no long-term air impacts from this project.

Noise: Impacts from noise during construction should be limited to the standard construction equipment. The BWW does not foresee blasting at this time and plan to remove ledge with hydraulic excavator hammers and rock splitters. These are the only anticipated noise impacts from this project.

Surface water, groundwater and wetlands: There should be no significant wetlands, surface or groundwater impacts from the street area’s of this project. Most of the scoped streets are on existing street right-of ways. In the event that wetlands, surface or groundwater impacts are identified, erosion will be minimized by using proper erosion control methods such as hay bales, silt fences and rapid re-seeding of affected areas. Groundwater Discharge Permits, NPDES Construction General or Dewatering Permits, and Wetlands permits may be required.

Best management practices will be employed in this effort. All appropriate permits shall be obtained from local, state and federal agencies as necessary.

The three areas that may require special permitting are the Androscoggin River crossing work, the high pressure transmission line along Route 110 (potential wetland issues) and the raw water transmission line from Godfrey Dam (potential wetland and US Forest Service issues). The permitting will depend on the final design of the sections to be replaced.

Wildlife: No impacts to wildlife are anticipated from this project.

Social and Economic: The social and economic impacts from the project are expected to be favorable. Additional temporary employees will be hired to support the additional construction demands. In addition, local suppliers and sub-contractors will be utilized on a competitive bid basis. The BWW water rates will not be raised in 2012 and 2013 as was anticipated. A favorable financial impact on the Berlin water ratepayer will be produced by this project through the use of the State Revolving Loan Fund project. The NHSRL through principal forgiveness, and the low interest will be affordable to the BWW after the large 93, 94, & 95 bonds are fully paid in 2015.

Recreation and Historic: No impacts to recreational or historic sites are anticipated as a result of this project.

Indirect impacts: There are no indirect impacts anticipated from this project.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW I.

WATER SYSTEM NAME WATER SYSTEM EPA ID ADDRESS PROJECT TITLE

BERLIN WATER WORKS 0231010 55 WILLOW STREET BERLIN, NH 03570 COOS COUNTY “GREEN” ENERGY PROJECT

II. INTRODUCTION The City of Berlin, New Hampshire, has applied for funds from the State of New Hampshire, Department of Environmental Services, in accordance with provisions of Chapter Env Dw 1100, rules of the department. These rules prescribe procedures for the application process concerning the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF). This document will discuss the requirements of Part Env Dw 1107 of these rules, the environmental review.

III. BACKGROUND Berlin Water Works is a municipal subdivision of the City of Berlin. Berlin Water Works (BWW) was established by an act of the State Legislature Chapter 294, Laws of 1925 to provide fire protection and potable water requirements for the City. The BWW services approximately 3450 water connections, and currently services a population of less than 10,000. With the pulp mill closing in 2006 and the more recent shutdown of the Gorham paper mill, the financial stress to the local economy is severe. It is hoped that the currently operating Berlin State Prison and the New Berlin Federal Prison will provide future stabilization of the customer base and revenues.

The Board of Water Commissioners, representing the City of Berlin Water Works (BWW), is applying for a New Hampshire State Revolving Loan (NHSRL) - FY 2010 Loan to continue the on-going Capital Improvement program to reduce long term operating cost and to meet all Federal and State compliance requirements for drinking water quality and system reliability. This request for funding is to install “green” energy producing equipment that will offset some of the BWW energy operating cost. In the recent decades, the City of Berlin’s water system has experienced financial stress with heavy debt and shrinking customer base. The BWW Board of Water Commissioners is looking at every possible means of reducing operating cost and reducing debt.

IV. PURPOSE and NEED The BWW Board is interested in reducing system energy costs by utilizing available “green” energy sources. One of the proposed “green” projects involves the installation of a hydro electric generating system at the Ammonoosuc Water Treatment Facility (AWTF). The hydraulic Head provided by the elevation difference between Godfrey Dam and the AWTF is currently wasted across a pressure reducing valve. This wasted energy will be converted to electricity via a hydro turbine. Harnessing this excess pressure through the proposed turbine(s) will produce more electrical energy than is required to operate the AWTF, and the excess power will be available to the PSNH grid.

The BWW water rates are one of the highest in New Hampshire and the median household income is one of the lowest in the state. Without grant and high forgiveness loans, the BWW will have to increase water rates to over $1000 / year for customers using 3400 cubic quarter. This would result in BWW being the most expensive water rate in the State. The BWW customer base cannot sustain this amount of water rate increase.

V. DETAILS of PROJECT The City of Berlin, on behalf of the Board of Water Commissioners for the City of Berlin Water Works, is applying through the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services for a NHSRL FY 2010 Loan to utilize “green” energy sources to reduce operating cost. The proposed project is to design, purchase and install a turbine system on the influent pipeline to the AWTF. This proposed project is similar to the Keene, NH’s Water Department hydro project that was recently completed.

The BWW is also planning another “green” project at its Ammonoosuc River Water Treatment Facility. This project includes a small wind and / or solar electrical generating system for Godfrey Dam to maintain storage batteries in order to operate the SCADA system. Currently, an LP generator is used to operate this system. The type of wind turbine proposed would be approximately 20 feet in height, with a blade width of about 24 inches. Also, small generating systems will be considered for other BWW facilities such as pump stations, storage tanks, and other buildings.

Alice M. Berube

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

BERLIN, NH -- Mrs. Alice M. Berube, 92, of 324 Champlain St., Berlin, NH, passed away on Thursday April 28, 2011 at the Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin. She was born in Berlin on June 8, 1918, the daughter of George and Bernadette (Marcotte) Bergeron, and was a lifelong resident. She had been employed

by Groveton Finishing, Brown Company Towel Room, Harrison Clothing, Kay Pastry Shop, Berlin Bowling Center, Endicott Johnson and Granite State Rubber Company. She was a former member of Guardian Angel Church, now Good Shepherd Parish, a member of the Ladies of St. Anne, the Golden Age Club and MESH. She enjoyed playing cards.

Members of the family include her son, Lawrence Berube and wife Patti of Berlin, NH; three grandchildren, Melissa Frenette and husband Jon of Berlin, Tammy Berthiaume and husband Steve of Berlin, and Brian Berube of Manchester, NH; five greatgrandchildren, Kyle, Lauren, Maria, Joshua and Jonah and one nephew,

Richard Bergeron and wife Louise.

She was predeceased by her husband, Lionel Berube in 1991, and a brother, Henry Bergeron.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday May 2, at 10 a.m. at St. Anne Church of Good Shepherd Parish.

Interment Alice M. Berube will be in St. Anne Cemetery. Relatives and friends may call at the Bryant Funeral Home, 180 Hillside Ave., Berlin on Sunday 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Camp Fatima, c/o Good Shepherd Parish, PO Box 570, Berlin, NH, 03570.

Save 5% to 20% on Your Electricity Bill Since Electricity De-Regulation in 1999 Residential & Small Business customers have been able to choose their electricity supplier but none were available. Until Now!!

Another potential “green“ project under consideration is the use of geothermal energy for the heating and cooling needs at some of the BWW facilities. The sites being considered include the Water Works Offices at 55 Willow Street, the Ammonoosuc Water Treatment Plant and a newer building adjacent to the Androscoggin River Treatment Plant. The type of geothermal wells proposed are closed-loop, drilled wells. All of the proposed locations are sites that have been previously developed.

Join homeowners across New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts as we pool our buying power to guarantee lower prices on our home and small business electricity bills.

VI. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS and MITIGATION The environmental concerns involved in this project are minimal and no adverse impacts are anticipated. The Hydro project work will be inside the existing treatment facility building, and the Godfrey Dam wind / solar will be on or adjacent to the dam facility. The following areas of environmental concern summarize the possible impacts, and illustrate the major areas of potential impact. The primary impacts are short-term which will affect the area only during the period of construction.

The New Hampshire electricity market was deregulated in 1999 and it’s time all homeowners and small businesses enjoy the same savings large commercial users have enjoyed for over a decade.

Air: Air impacts will be limited to dust, and diesel exhaust odors created during the construction portion of the project. There should be no long-term air impacts from this project. Overall a positive impact is expected because the end result will be the production of electricity using an existing renewable resource. It is expected that each megawatt of power produced by this project will offset the following greenhouse gases: 2,273lbs of carbon dioxide • 12.66 lbs of NOx • 6.4 lbs of SOx Noise: Impacts from noise during construction should be limited to the standard construction equipment. These are the only anticipated noise impacts from this project.

Surface water, groundwater and wetlands: There should be no significant wetlands, surface or groundwater impacts from this project. The Hydro project is expected to be entirely inside the Ammonoosuc Water Treatment Facility. All appropriate permits shall be obtained from local, state and federal agencies as necessary. Best management practices will be employed in this effort.

Wildlife: No impacts to wildlife are anticipated from this project.

Social and Economic: The social and economic impacts from the project are expected to be favorable. Additional contractor construction employees will be hired to support the construction demands. In addition, local suppliers and sub-contractors will be utilized on a competitive bid basis. In addition to the loan forgiveness of 45% and low interest, the BWW water rate payers will benefit because operating costs will be reduced for energy requirements to operate the facilities.

Recreation and Historic: No impacts to recreational or historic sites are anticipated as a result of this project. The water treatment facility was built in 1997 and is not a historic site. The Godfrey Dam was initially built in 1925 and completely rebuilt in 2010.

Indirect impacts: There are no indirect impacts anticipated from this project.

Whereas this project constitutes only a minor overall project and no significant environmental impacts are anticipated, a finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) is proposed.
