Wind farm gets federal loan guarantee

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

PHILLIPS BROOK -- The federal Department of Energy has fi nalized a partial guarantee for a $168.9 million loan to Granite Reliable Power for the 99-megawatt wind farm under construction in the Phillips Brook watershed.

The European commercial bank WestLB AG is the lender-applicant for the project. The DOE Financial Institution Partnership Program provides a partial guarantee for up to 80 percent of a loan provided to a renewable energy project by qualified financial institutions.

North Country residents this summer have gotten used to seeing the 33 Vestas wind turbines components traveling by tractor-trailer through the region to the construction site. Project sponsors, BAIF Granite Holdings, LLC and Freshet Wind Energy, estimate nearly 200 construction jobs will be created. They also report over a dozen local contractors have been hired to work on the project.

When complete, the wind farm will be the largest in New Hampshire. It is expected to supply see GUARANTEE page 8

This picture shows turbine construction is well underway on Granite Reliable Power’s wind farm in the Phillips Brook watershed. At 410 feet tall, the Vestas wind turbines stand out among the forest. The project will install 33 of the turbines in four strings centered around four peaks. The wind farm is expected to be ready to start commercial operation by the end of the year.

Oil clean up company to buy Groveton mill complex

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BATH — Bath-based MOP (Maximum Oil Pickup) Environmental has signed a agreement to purchase the Groveton mill complex for $2 million and local advocates should get a lot of the credit. Wayne King, vice-president and spokesman for MOP, confi rmed the news on Monday afternoon and said a press release was in the works.

King cited the work of North Country Council and the SUNY (State University of New York) Center for Brownfi eld Studies with helping fund and create a plan for the space, while local men, Bob Chapman of Chapman Scrap Metal Recycling in Milan and Dave Auger of Prima America in Groveton really advo-

cated behind the scenes for the complex to stay in use rather than scrapped. “Essentially we are standing on the shoulders of giants,” King said.

King explained that he toured the mill with Auger over a year ago and continued to work on fi nding a buyer over time. “He’s been at this a very long time,” he said. As for Chapman, “if it weren’t for his good solid help, the mill would be facing the wrecking ball,” said King.

The wrecking ball wasn’t far off if an buyer wasn’t found, King said. He explained that it was his understanding that the owners had set this winter as a deadline for selling or scrapping the mill complex. But, he continued, sellers Jerry Epstein and Ken Miller of Groveton Acquisitions have been help-

ful in putting the deal together. “They know it is in the best interest of the town to have the mill there,” King said.

According to the agreement, MOP placed a deposit of $100,000 for the 107-acre complex along with the Brooklyn Dam and wastewater treatment facility and has 90 days from the signing date of Sept.

Protesters bare all over a proposed San Francisco law SAN FRANCISCO — Perhaps it should not be a surprise that San Francisco does not have a law against being naked in public, nor that a small, unselfconscious segment of the city’s residents regularly exercise that right.

That tiny minority was joined this weekend in the autumn fog and cold by unclothed sympathizers at a “Nude-In.” One of their objectives was to draw attention to a proposed law — introduced by Scott Wiener, a city supervisor — that would prohibit nudity in restaurants and require unclad people to put a towel or other material down before sitting barebottomed on benches or other public seats.

Mr. Wiener said the law was introduced in response to an increase in nakedness in parks, streets and restaurants.

“It used to be that there would be one nude guy wandering around the neighborhood and no one thought twice about it,” said Mr. Wiener, who represents the city’s Castro district. “Now it’s a regular thing and much more obnoxious. We have guys sitting down naked in public without the common decency to put something down underneath them.”

SAYWHAT...

“

I’m not for gratuitous nudity, but if there’s humor, I don’t have a problem.”

Slump alters jobless map in U.S., with South hit hard When the unemployment rate rose in most states last month, it underscored the extent to which the deep recession, the anemic recovery and the lingering crisis of joblessness are beginning to reshape the nation’s economic map.

The once-booming South, which entered the recession with the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, is now struggling with some of the highest rates, recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show.

Several Southern states — including South Carolina, whose 11.1 percent unemployment rate is the fourth highest in the nation — have higher unemployment rates

than they did a year ago. Unemployment in the South is now higher than it is in the Northeast and the Midwest, which include Rust Belt states that were struggling even before the recession.

For decades, the nation’s economic landscape consisted of a prospering Sun Belt and a struggling Rust Belt. Since the recession hit, though, that is no longer the case.

Unemployment remains high across much of the country — the national rate is 9.1 percent — but the regions have recovered at different speeds.

Now, with the concentration of the highest unemployment rates in the South and

the West, some economists and researchers wonder if it is an anomaly of the uneven recovery or a harbinger of things to come.

“Because the recovery is so painfully slow, people may begin to think of the trends established during the recovery as normal,” said Howard Wial, a fellow at the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program who recently co-wrote an economic analysis of the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas. “Will people think of Florida, California, Nevada and Arizona as more or less permanently depressed?

Think of the Great Lakes as being a renaissance region? I don’t know. It’s possible.”

Six suspects charged in British terrorism plot Radioactivity in Japan

LONDON — Six men have been charged with planning an act of terrorism in Britain, as part of a plot that included training in Pakistan, preparing for suicide bombings and constructing an explosive device, the police said Monday.

The men, aged 25 to 32, are all from Birmingham, Britain’s second-largest city. Four were charged with “preparing for an act of terrorism in the U.K.,” and the other two were charged with failing to disclose information. A seventh man was being questioned, the West Midlands police force said in a statement.

The men were arrested last week in a raid led by the counterterrorism unit of Britain’s West Midlands police.

The police have given no details of the alleged plot, but a police statement said

that the arrests were part of a “major operation” prompted by intelligence work, a formulation that has often been used to describe a lengthy period of surveillance, including phone-tapping, by police undercover units and Britain’s secret intelligence and security agencies, MI5 and MI6.

The police statement said the six men charged, all in custody, appeared in a magistrate’s court in west London on Monday, where they were denied bail.. Two of the men, Irfan Nasser, 30, and Irfan Khalid, 26, are accused on 12 counts including “planning a suicide bombing campaign/event,” “making a martyrdom fi lm,” and “travelling to Pakistan for training in terrorism including bomb making, weapons and poison making.”

rice raises worries

TOKYO — Government offi cials on Saturday ordered more tests after detecting elevated levels of radiation in rice crops near the crippled nuclear power plant at Fukushima.

Radioactive substances have already been discovered in beef, milk, spinach and tea leaves, leading to recalls and bans on shipments. But officials have been especially worried about rice, a staple that makes up a signifi cant part of the Japanese diet. Japan grows most of the rice that it consumes.

Preliminary tests on rice from paddies in the city of Nihonmatsu, about 35 miles from the Fukushima plant, showed the crops contained 500 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium, prefectural offi cials said. Under recently adopted Japanese regulations, rice with up to 500 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium is considered safe for consumption. (A becquerel is a frequently used measure of radiation.)

Ii is time for Americans to end this cruel, barbaric, and medieval penalty To the editor: I was saddened to hear of the execution of Troy Anthony Davis by the state of Georgia. At trial no physical evidence was presented against Mr. Davis. No circumstantial evidence was presented. Seven of the witnesses at the trial have since recanted.

Innocent men and women accused of witchcraft were murdered in Salem, Massachusetts, in the late 1600s.

During World War II, Jews, Jehovah Witnesses, political dissidents, and other innocent people were killed in German concentration camps. Christians should remember that our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ was executed, and he was guilty of nothing.

If innocent people can be executed by the state of Georgia or by the state of New Hampshire or by the other thirty-two states in this country that have the death penalty, then not one of us is safe.

Howard Zinn described capital punishment as “A kind of terror waged by the state, one death at a time...to instill fear and obedience in the population.”

Now is the time for Americans to end this cruel, barbaric, and medieval penalty.

Rev. Gerald Oleson, O.C.F. Jefferson Highlands

Why are we being charged more?

To the editor: This past weekend, I traveled to the Lakes Region.

As I drove through Moultonboro, I saw an Irving sign advertising gas at $3.24 for regular. As I traveled toward Center Harbor, I saw another Irving with gas posted at $3.24. As I traveled to New Hampton

Exit 23, I saw the Irving and Mobile both advertised at $3.39. As I arrived back in the Androscoggin Valley, I found gas advertised at $3.59 and above.

No commentary, just the facts. Why are we being charged .35 cents more?

Once upon a Berlin Time

First Farmer’s Market

Hello fellow Berlinites. As I write this story, the 2011 farmer’s market in Berlin was coming to and end. The market which started in July and ended on September 15 seemed to have had a second successful year. Each Thursday during this time, the market was run on Mechanic Street from 3:30 to 7:30 pm.

Was there ever a farmer’s market in Berlin before? If so, when did it fi rst take place in the “Paper City”? Here is the story.

During the spring of 1917, the North Country Development Bureau of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce began its active cooperation with the farmers by speaking at grange meetings in the surrounding towns and telling them of their new idea about selling their products to the public.

At the end of July 1917, this same committee again visited some of the farmers for the purpose of now getting together to sell their produce. Most of the outlying farmers agreed that a “Public or Farmer’s Market” should be established in this Northern New Hampshire city for the benefit of all involved.

They held meetings in Shelburne, Milan and West Milan, as the committee for a public market wanted to make sure that growers from both ends of the local valley were invited and understood the rules and regulations for operating this event.

Several public spirited citizens offered desirably located land to operate this market.

If the public market was established, it would undoubtedly be held on Wednesday and Saturday mornings of each week. This would be the time that the housewives of Berlin could select fresh produce that would be displayed in farmer’s wagons.

So, everything was in place to open the fi rst farmer’s market in Berlin on Friday Morning August 31, 1917. The area chosen would be between Main and Pleasant Streets on a small street between Whitcomb’s Jewelry and the Berlin Savings Bank and Trust Company. That area now (2011) is known as “Bickford Place” and is a block above today’s market.

Farmers would come from Crystal, Milan, West Milan, Shelburne and the outlying areas of Berlin, with fresh vegetables and fruits to sell directly from their wagons to

Berlin’s citizens. The original days were changed to Tuesdays and Fridays and the established times for these markets would be from 8:30 to 10:30 am. After 10:30 am, the market would be closed to the public and opened up to wholesale dealers only.

Growers in the area welcomed this new market, for they believed that it would eliminate peddling, which they always thought was an unsatisfactory and uneconomic method of distribution. It would also shorten the period which was usually required for a farmer to sell his produce and tend to increase production and decrease waste in the upper Androscoggin valley.

The fi rst farmer’s market that opened on that last day of August 1917 was thoroughly successful, as its most ardent advocates and promoters had hoped and anticipated. The space that was being allotted to the venders was occupied at an early hour, with the fi rst arrival and vender being a man named Oscar Twitchell, who was there at 7 am.

Produce offered for sale was all of high quality and displayed in a very tasteful manner. There was every form of product of the farm and garden in abundance and vehicles of every description from pushcarts to automobiles.

Customers also showed up early on this Friday morning, but no sales were made until the hour that had been agreed upon by all the vendors there.

Patrolman Couture, who was on duty at the fi rst farmer’s market, estimated the number of customers when selling was at its peak to be about one thousand. The space was certainly crowded, with a busy throng of people fi lling their baskets with vegetables, fruit, eggs, chicken and other materials for the family dinner.

In a very short time, the entire supply of products was exhausted and the area resumed its usual quiet aspect, completing the fi rst day of Berlin’s open air farmer’s market. I wonder what happened with the wholesale dealers during after market hours.

The pessimists, who didn’t believe the farmers would bring any produce or if they did, the people wouldn’t buy it, were stunned at the outcome. see MARKET page 5

Else A. Palmer SHELBURNE, NH -- Graveside services for Mrs. Else A. Palmer, 85, of Shelburne, NH, were held on Thursday, September 15, 2011 at the Wheeler Cemetery in Shelburne. Reverend Theresa Stirling offi ciated at MARKET from page 4

On the second day things were even busier.

More than twenty farmers drove in with teams and automobiles on Tuesday morning September 4, 1917, to place their produce on sale at this so called “public market”.

Many of the purchasers from the previous Friday had returned in order to secure more fresh produce.

In view of the fact that nearly 200 dozen ears of corn were sold immediately on Friday, the farmers returned with extra loads on Tuesday and found ready sale for another 400 dozen ears.

The most popular corn on this occasion was “golden bantam” and the limited supply was not sufficient to satisfy the demand. Another wellliked item for market purchasers was fi ne cooking and baking apples at reasonable prices. I’ll bet there was a lot of homemade apple pie back then.

There was a limited supply of butter and eggs that were snatched up by the fi rst onsite buyers, thus, the shopping housewives realized that if they desired the best, they had to arrive early.

One of the farmer’s wagons had cabbage, caulifl ower, ripe cucumbers, green cucumbers, turnips, bunch carrots, bush beets, onions, tomatoes, rhubarb, Swiss chard and potatoes. He certainly had a large variety that was scooped up quickly by the local consumers.

For the benefi t of the farmers, it was stated that this market was open to any producer. It was established primarily for the advantage of these same growers to avoid the undesirable features of peddling, as mentioned previously.

It also gave our local farmers the opportunity to sell any surplus produce which they had. Every grower was invited to bring in a load of

the services.

Many relatives and friends attended the services.

Arrangements were under the direction of the Bryant Funeral Home in Gorham. produce and place it for sale at this market.

No fees or assessments were charged and the stalls were assigned in order of their arrival. All of the farmers agreed to meet at the City Hall after the third day, in order to concur on necessary details that had developed during these fi rst three markets.

The initial farmer’s market that took place in Berlin ninety-four years ago was a remarkable success.

The last market for that year was on Saturday, September 28, which is about two weeks longer than the one that just finished in 2011.

My research showed that Berlin had a farmer’s market in 1918 that was held in area on Upper Pleasant Street, but I do not know the exact location. Also, the year 1919 had one and that took place in the area that we now call Community Field. It was said that more room was needed for both the vendors and buyers.

After 1919, I could not fi nd any news of a farmer’s market being established again. It could have happened, but I don’t know when.

For all I know it was only restarted again in 2010, one block away from the original one and seems to have also been great for growers and buyers. I certainly hope the people who operate this fairly new venture continue with these markets and have great success in the coming years.

The picture of the fi rst “farmer’s market” in 1917 that accompanies this story was also posted on face book last week for people to guess.

Of course, the location is the same area as Bickford Place, but certainly looks a lot different today.

WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) has announced that New Hampshire has been awarded a competitive $19,974,792 grant from the U.S. Department of Labor to train workers in advanced manufacturing skills.

“Manufacturing is a critical driver of economic growth and employment in our state,” Shaheen said.

“However, as businesses replace traditional manufacturing methods with advanced technology, many jobseekers have been unable to keep up because they lack the specialized skills required. By arming workers with the tools needed to excel in advanced manufacturing, this award will help New Hampshire workers secure high-paying jobs and help New Hampshire companies hire high-quality employees.”

The award will support the Regional Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Consortium (RAMPuP), a partnership between all seven of the state’s community colleges, state employment officials, and more than a dozen employers from around the state. The grant is part of the federal Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program, which helps employees who lose their jobs to foreign trade prepare for new careers, and will be administered by DOL in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Education.

“This program is all about bringing high-quality jobs to New Hampshire,

ensuring that we have the workforce to fi ll those jobs, enabling business located here to grow, attracting new companies, and increasing economic activity,” said J. Bonnie Newman, chancellor of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCNH).

“With campuses in every region of the state, New Hampshire’s community colleges are uniquely situated to provide these opportunities and work in partnership with employers.”

Using the funds, each of the state’s community colleges will develop advanced manufacturing training programs linked to regional employment opportunities in such fields as automation and robotics, advanced materials technologies and composites, precision manufacturing, and precision welding. The programs will be designed to help the unemployed, returning veterans, workers who’ve lost their jobs due to foreign competition, and adult and parttime students. In addition to programs at the colleges, training may also be offered online and on-site at manufacturing plants.

Shaheen has been an outspoken advocate for worker training and sent a letter to DOL Secretary Hilda Solis in support of CCNH’s application for this award. Last week, Shaheen spoke on the Senate floor in support of important reforms to the TAA program. The Senate voted to reauthorize the program Thursday.

Milan meeting favors consolidation at upper levels

BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

MILAN — In much the same way previous forums ended, those in attendance at the recent regional educational forum in Milan favored combining the region’s two SAU offi ces, high schools and junior highs.

The straw poll vote was taken at the conclusion of a two hour session last Thursday evening at Milan Village School to look at future regionalization possibilities and the attendees were given 10 options to vote from. A solid half of those in attendance to discuss the issue for the first time, 9 of 18, chose the option to combine Berlin and Gorham’s two middle schools and two high schools into one of each, and SAU 20 and SAU 3 into a single SAU. In previous meetings, just under half of the attendees in Berlin chose that option, while just over half of those present in Randolph did the same.

Doing nothing, also an option on the list, was not supported by any in attendance. In fact, the post vote discussion of the parents, educators and community members at the session, centered around looking at the struggles in nearby Maine after that state faced mandatory consolidation. Participants said they appreciated that the matter was being considered before anyone’s hand was forced.

The mood was light and friendly as Plymouth State University facilitator Kathy McCabe, who holds a PhD, is an adjunct faculty member of the University and is a retired assistant superintendent of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District, led the discussion about the future possibilities. She made it clear that the conversation, which is scheduled to be held from Shelburne to Errol, had been precipitated by a number of factors, including population trends, operating costs, economy and current school confi gurations. McCabe pointed out that these forums are really only the beginning of the conversation and stressed friendly dialogue over debate as the order of the evening.

“This is only the beginning of the whole process,” she said.

At the close of the evening, in addition to the nine votes for combining the upper levels of the school structure, two participants favored keeping both SAUs in their current form, but combining some services, four votes were cast in favor of maintaining the elementary schools and SAUs but combining the middle and high schools, and the idea of creating a study group to look at the issues earned a single vote.

Not everyone voted. The other options that received no support in the straw poll, included combine SAU offices but maintain all schools, have a K-8 school in each town with two SAU offi ces and a consolidated high school, undecided, adjust the elementary school attendance by class size, and combine SAUs, high school and middle schools while changing to open enrollment at the existing elementary schools.

A large portion of the session included a brainstorming session in groups of four, where the quartets had to give reasons for and against consolidation of any kind. This gave the meeting its topics for discussion and the facilitators their points to bring away. When time came to share the concerns for both options, many of the groups found they had come up with similar ideas. Of the fi ve groups — which included some people who attended previous meetings in Berlin and Randolph and therefore did not take part in the straw poll — four pointed to the differences in forms of government and philosophies, community pride and identity, loss of neighborhood schools, loss of community control, transportation time and possible job losses as reasons not to consolidate.

On the pro-consolidation side, the groups found that they had unanimously considered cost savings, while four of the groups said shrinking administration and an increased pool of resources were reasons for combining educational efforts. Three of the foursomes suggested consolidation could lead to more competitive teams, fewer teachers and staff, and more social opportunities for students.

The participants also lent their own ideas to the list of 10 options, prompting McCabe to note their

By Holiday Mathis ably has to do with a friend’s choice of companionship, but it will affect how your day unfolds, too. Your friend’s choice could land you in a mighty strange situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

New directions are not always good directions. You are not a blind follower.

You might even be called a skeptic.

You won’t be sorry if you scrutinize the instructions you are given and consider the source, as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ).

There’s thunder and lightning outside your window -- at least fi guratively.

Dark clouds roll into your personal life, just to test the integrity of a relationship and help you figure out what to do next.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You always take the time to be with those you care about when you know they are in need. It’s even more special when you give your attention to loved ones knowing they don’t need a thing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Blame is not useful, even if you are the one blaming yourself. Assigning blame takes focus away from doing what it takes to fi x a situation. Always be moving forward.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 27).

Your approach to work raises it to an artistic level. Your meticulous attention to detail will get you promoted and awarded. Creative and romantic risks pay off in November. January will bring a brilliant resolution to an ongoing problem. You’ll get loved ones and colleagues enrolled in your plan. Finances perk up in April. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 4, 8 and 17.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). You’re not going to have much fun until your major responsibilities are covered.

That’s normally easy for you to do, but today you’ll need a little help from your friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your path will veer to the left and the right and then do a loop-the-loop. Who is to say the distractions and diversions aren’t really the main road? Maybe they should be!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know what is good for your loved ones, but sometimes they just have to fi gure things out for themselves. You’ll exert your infl uence with the perfect balance of respect and power.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Certain people bring out the worst in you. You know who they are. Somehow you talk too much around them and say things you weren’t expecting to say. Chalk it up to bad chemistry, and move on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll enjoy an encounter with someone who has limited time available in his or her schedule. You’ll make the most of whatever time you have with this person. A little attention goes a long way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s a storm moving in on your love life. It’s nothing major, and it will quickly pass.

So don’t get too worked up. This is just the kind of change and excitement that adds excitement to relationships.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The line between private information and public information may be blurred. It’s not because you don’t know the difference; it’s because the rules about what’s “appropriate” are constantly changing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The theme is: an unlikely pairing. This prob-

READERS REJECT AUNT’S DEMAND THAT BASHFUL NIECE TALK TO HER

DEAR ABBY: I think your response to “Outgoing Aunt in Texas” (July 16) about the shy 12-year-old girl was misguided.

The aunt felt “Tammy’s” parents should “make” her come to the phone and speak to her. You felt the child’s behavior was rude and said perhaps her mother was covering for her. Being shy or overly sensitive is an inborn personality trait that can be very disturbing. Forcing a shy person to do something uncomfortable may make the problem worse. Talking on the phone is one of the hardest things for a shy person because he or she can’t read the other person’s face or body language.

Many l2-year-olds feel awkward in social situations, particularly if they are shy. A loving family member should try to be sensitive to this and not force the child to do something he or she is not comfortable doing. It’s possible that Tammy may have a hard time talking to this aunt if she asks Tammy embarrassing questions or makes comments that are hurtful.

If that’s the case, then Tammy’s mom is doing the right thing by trying to protect her. -- SHY M.D. IN TENNESSEE DEAR SHY M.D.: Thank you for offering another perspective. Readers who shared their experiences helped me to view this with a fresh perspective. My newspaper readers comment: DEAR ABBY: Twelve-year-old daughters have a terrible fear of criticism, a fear of failure and a fear of being made fun of by adults and peers. “Outgoing Aunt” sounds heavyhanded to me. I have to wonder what she might have said in the past (or how she said it) that has made Tammy so reluctant to even be in the same room with her. Tammy’s mom is right to “cover for her.” -- I WAS THE SAME 12-YEAR-OLD DEAR ABBY: It bothered me that “Outgoing Aunt” was so determined and aggressive about speaking to Tammy.

Has this aunt been unkind to her in the past? I think the aunt

should back off and stop demanding to speak to the child through doors and on the phone. Perhaps the girl isn’t shy or rude -- just a great judge of character. -- USED TO BE A SHY NIECE DEAR ABBY: You’re correct in saying Tammy’s behavior may be anxiety-based. There is a childhood anxiety disorder called Selective Mutism in which an expectation to speak can cause a child extreme panic. It results in temporary physical paralysis of the vocal cords, and can render a child unable to cry or communicate distress when severely injured.

These children can speak just fi ne in some situations but not in all others, which can be misunderstood as willful behavior. One of the most common situations in which a child cannot speak is with a close friend or relative.

I had SM as a child and I helped my son fi nd successful treatment for it. Without treatment, Tammy is at a heightened risk for depression, panic attacks, agoraphobia, substance abuse and more. I now speak about this disorder to spread awareness and help others locate resources to seek treatment.

-- ANN SANDER IN HOUSTON DEAR ABBY: I am deeply in love with two wonderful women. I know I have to let one go, but I don’t want to break either one’s heart. Instead of “dumping” one of them, can I explain the situation to them and ask that one of them dump ME? I realize I could lose them both, but I’m willing to take the chance. Please help. -- DOUBLE TROUBLE IN BLOOMINGTON, IND. DEAR DOUBLE TROUBLE: I’ll try, by courteously advising you to stiffen your spine and make a decision. If you announce to these two wonderful women that you can’t choose between them, the odds are likely that they will both dump you.

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

Lady Eagles hand Berlin girls first loss

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- Kennett’s Vonde Saunders scored the only goal of the game with eleven minutes left to play lifting the Eagles to a hard fought 1-0 victory over the Berlin girl’s field hockey team on Homecoming in Berlin Saturday.

Both teams played a scoreless fi rst half. Goal keepers Morgan Ouellet of Berlin (three saves) and Kennett’s Kori Sandman (six saves) kept the game dead locked at 0-0. Berlin did hold a six to two advantage in corners.

The second half was played equally by both clubs. Each squad had a pair of corners. However, it was the Lady

Eagles that took advantage of one of their corner tries with just over eleven minutes to go. Steph Loynd began the corner and her hard centering pass found Saunders. The Kennett forward got the shot off just as a Mountie defender reached her. Saunders shot was deflected high over Berlin’s Ouellet for the only goal of the game.

At the other end of the fi eld, Berlin did get three shots on Kennett’s Sandman. Unfortunately, the Eagle goalie stopped all shots on goal, giving the Division II school a nice 1-0 victory.

Berlin boys earn key road win over Kennett Eagles

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

CONWAY -- Berlin sophomore Ryan Richard scored a pair of goals in the second half, helping the Mountaineers to a 3-0 victory over the Kennett Eagles in a boys’ interdivisional contest in Conway recently.

Kennett’s Scott Connor (17 Saves) and Berlin’s Curtis Arsenault (12 Saves), kept each of their opponents off the score board during the fi rst half of play.

“Kennett played a good fi rst half,” said Berlin coach Craig Melanson.

“They were going long ball and they had some speed. Curtis came up with some unbelievable saves, one being a break away and another with a spectacular leg save. We had to make some adjustments at half time to let the ball start doing the work for us rather than us always running to the ball, the kids figured out to make the easy pass and to pass where you are facing and the field all of a sudden had opened up for us thus creating some beautiful play for us in the second half.”

Richard’s first came with 33:42 left to go in the second half. Richard was assisted by Dimitri Giannos. The duo used a give and go at the top of the 18 yard mark. Richard blasted it 12 yards out and to the right side for the 1-0 lead.

At 26:59 Richard netted his second of the game and fi fth of the year, this time assisted by Jake Drouin. Drouin put on some moves to get around the right fullback and then dumped the pass to Richard who lasered it left side for the two goal advantage.

Berlin picked an insurance goal with 12:25 left in the game. Drouin used a Giannos feed to make it 3-0.

Giannos gave a nice feed to split the Eagle defense on the right side to Drouin and he blasted it from 15 yrds out to the top right hand corner for his fourth goal of the Fall.

“Ethan Dorval and Dimitri played unbelievable for us in the midfi eld,” said Melanson. “The core of Jesse Deblois, Jeremy Rivard, Travis Lapointe, Zach Bacon and Quinn Morrissete see BERLIN page 15

The room offered that fi ve of them would be in favor of an option that offered a consolidated middle-high school with one SAU, while leaving the elementary schools intact, while three others favored having K-8 schools in Milan, Berlin, Gorham and Errol, while consolidating the high schools and SAUs. The Community Forums to Discuss the Future of Public Education continue this week at Gorham High School on Wednesday at 7 p.m. A Shelburne session is planned for Oct. 4, at 7 p.m., in Shelburne Town Hall, and the Errol forum will be held on Oct. 5, at 7 p.m., in the Errol School Cafeteria.

One the last forum is held, facilitators will create a report on the culmination of the meetings and present that information at followup meetings on Oct. 19 in Berlin and Oct. 25 in Gorham.

Additionally, King said, in accordance with the study done by SUNY, MOP is interested in creating a place where technology, manufacturing, research and education meet. He said his company has already been actively recruiting and looking for businesses that fit that model to collocate at the site. Talks have been had with White Mountains Community College President Kathy Eneguess as well, he said, that could lead to expanded curriculum offerings and possibly even onsite classrooms.
