Grenier announces bid for re-election

BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- “I kept my promise to Berlin,” Mayor Paul Grenier said yesterday, as he formally announced he is running for re-election.

Two years ago Grenier said he ran for the position on the singular pledge of seeking and producing jobs. He argues he has delivered on that promise.

Grenier said he was intimately involved in working with local and state officials to find a buyer for the Gorham paper mill.

He notes the mill is under new ownership and is in the process of adding a tissue machine with plans for at least one additional tissue machine.

Next Thursday, Grenier said the city will celebrate the official ground-breaking for the 75-megawatt Burgess BioPower biomass plant. He said his

election, and the new councilors that came in offi ce with him, changed the council’s position from one of opposition to support of the $275 million project. That support, he said, helped the project receive the necessary approvals to become a reality. An estimated 400 people will be employed in the construction phase.

Once operating, the plant will employ 40 people and create several hundred jobs in the logging industry.

“We’re not done producing jobs,” Grenier said.

He said Cate Street Capital, the owner of Burgess BioPower, has an industrial client it is in discussions with about setting up operations at the mill site. Grenier said it would be a major new investment and Cate Street Capital would have an equity interest in the

On Friday, Martinson told a group of people at the Randolph town hall about his work with Medecins Sans Frontieres in Matar. Tall Nyoun, who was Martinson’s local contact and translator and representative of the height of the local population, is actually a Nuar from Sudan, but spoke the local language as well as English. He learned English because his father sent him away when it appeared there would be fighting where they lived and his father wanted to be sure one member of the family would survive to carry on.

Luckily the family survived and Nyoun was able to come back to his homeland. (COURTESY PHOTO)

RANDOLPH—With images of an arid plain behind him, Jon Martinson of Randolph described driving to the village of Matar, Ethiopia, with his Sudanese fi eld coordinator, through the flat, dry landscape, on his way to help set up a Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) health center in 2010.

“We would get to a bush and he would say, ‘Turn left,’ and then he would say, ‘Turn right,’” with no landmark obvious to Martinson’s eyes.

“These folks travel by foot and they know every square inch of the landscape,” he said.

“Important in this environment are trees.

They are the only source of shade. Every time you see a tree, you see something under it, like a chair.”

WASHINGTON — Add this to the list of pressing concerns in the nation’s capital: on Tuesday it was dealing with cracks in one of its bestknown symbols.

A climber in a safety harness clung to the top of the Washington Monument for most of the afternoon, fastening ropes so that a team of architects and engineers can inspect the damage wrought by the earthquake last month.

The slow going of the work, together with the threat of rain, delayed the team’s rappelling until Wednesday. But the spectacle, unfolding a dizzying 555 feet off the ground, became a tourist attraction, with passers-by squinting at the ant-size man moving around slowly on the monument’s peak.

The monument has been closed since the Aug. 23 quake, and it will stay that way until engineers determine the extent of the damage, officials from the National Mall and Memorial Parks said. One crack, in a block close to the top, was four feet long and more than an inch wide, large enough to allow light to shine in.

As scorn for vote grows, protests surge around globe MADRID — Hundreds of thousands of disillusioned Indians cheer a rural activist on a hunger strike. Israel reels before the largest street demonstrations in its history. Enraged young people in Spain and Greece take over public squares across their countries.

Their complaints range from corruption to lack of affordable housing and joblessness, common grievances the world over.

But from South Asia to the heartland of Europe and now even to Wall Street, these protesters share something else: wariness, even contempt, toward traditional politicians and the democratic political process

they preside over.

They are taking to the streets, in part, because they have little faith in the ballot box.

“Our parents are grateful because they’re voting,” said Marta Solanas, 27, referring to older Spaniards’ decades spent under the Franco dictatorship. “We’re the first generation to say that voting is worthless.”

Economics have been one driving force, with growing income inequality, high unemployment and recession-driven cuts in social spending breeding widespread malaise.

Alienation runs especially deep in Europe,

Even those cleared of crimes can stay on F.B.I.’s watch list WASHINGTON — The Federal Bureau of Investigation is permitted to include people on the government’s terrorist watch list even if they have been acquitted of terrorism-related offenses or the charges are dropped, according to newly released documents.

The fi les, released by the F.B.I. under the Freedom of Information Act, disclose how the police are instructed to react if they encounter a person on the list. They lay out, for the first time in public view, the legal standard that national security offi cials must meet in order to add a name to the list. And

they shed new light on how names are vetted for possible removal from the list.

Inclusion on the watch list can keep terrorism suspects off planes, block noncitizens from entering the country and subject people to delays and greater scrutiny at airports, border crossings and traffic stops.

The database now has about 420,000 names, including about 8,000 Americans, according to the statistics released in connection with the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

About 16,000 people, including about 500 Americans, are barred from flying.

with boycotts and strikes that, in London and Athens, erupted into violence.

But even in India and Israel, where growth remains robust, protesters say they so distrust their country’s political class and its pandering to established interest groups that they feel only an assault on the system itself can bring about real change.

Increasingly, citizens of all ages, but particularly the young, are rejecting conventional structures like parties and trade unions in favor of a less hierarchical, more participatory system modeled in many ways on the culture of the Web.

Administration asks justices to rule quickly on health law WASHINGTON — The Obama administration asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to hear a case concerning the 2010 health care overhaul law.

The development came unexpectedly fast and makes it all but certain that the court will soon agree to hear one or more cases involving challenges to the law, with arguments by the spring and a decision by June, in time to land in the middle of the 2012 presidential campaign. The Justice Department said the justices should hear its appeal of a decision by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in Atlanta, that struck down the centerpiece of the law by a 2-to-1 vote.

“The department has consistently and successfully defended this law in several courts of appeals, and only the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled it unconstitutional,” the Justice Department said in a statement. “We believe the question is appropriate for review by the Supreme Court.

town hall Friday to Matar and the work of MSF, where he was part of a team setting up the health center.

“My role was as logistician,” said Martinson. “I was the person who manages all of the non-clinical aspects. I set up the housing, built the housing, built the clinic, established supply lines, provided security, made sure we had food for both the patients and the staff—all the details of operation.”

MSF, founded in 1971 by a French physician working in Biafra, said Martinson, “does health care in places where there is conflict. . . . It is totally neutral and independent of any government organization. If they see something wrong, they will speak up.

Sometimes that’s is good and sometimes they get thrown out of countries. They try to get to the root of a problem. They are the second largest health care organization in the world.

The Red Cross is the fi rst. They have an annual budget of just under $1 billion. They are now in 65 countries with 22,000 field positions.”

“The key to MSF’s ability to act independently in response to crisis is its independent funding,” according to the MSF website. “Ninety percent of MSF’s overall funding comes from private sources, not governments.”

In the case of Matar, MSF had chosen to establish a health center there because the village is on the western border of Ethiopia, adjacent to South Sudan. Conflict was expected as South Sudan strove for independence from Sudan in the north, and MSF expected refugees would be fl eeing South Sudan, across the boundary of the Baro River to Matar. As it happened, there were no refugees and the transition was reasonably smooth, but the population was in need of basic health services.

The Nuar people populate the area, said Martinson. They are very tall— six to seven feet tall.

“Basketball recruiters should send some people to this part of the world,” Martinson remarked.

For the most part, the Nuars in Matar seemed not to be familiar with whites or with their machines. The women carried great bundles on their heads and walking was the primary means of transportation.

Their round houses have mud walls and grass roofs and are known as “tukuls,” pronounced, at least by Martinson, as “too cool.” Although the people in Matar are basically Christian, their social organization seems to be a mix of Christianity and Muslimism, which is the religion to the north. A typical family is one man with several wives, each of whom has her own tukul where she and her children live, Martinson said.

“Water is really important,” he said.

The Baro River “feeds the area. . . . The difference between the rainy season and dry season is dramatic.”

They have cattle, but it appears that corn is the primary staple, with two plantings, one after the rainy season and one at the beginning of the rainy season before the water is too high.

Amazingly they have hollowed out logs for canoes—Martinson couldn’t say where the trees from which these canoes were made might be from on that fl at plain, but, in any case, “nobody owns (the canoes). They are

lined up on the bank of the river and people use them.”

The river is an important means of transportation.

“When the river is navigable, they use boats (canoes). They are about 30-feet long and use a 45 hp Evinrude.

Every single one I saw had an Evinrude and some had two 45 hp Evinrudes.

“We used the river as well for seriously injured patients that we couldn’t deal with,” he said, showing a slide of a boat with a canopy in which the Matar health center could transport a patient to a more developed area, four hours up river.

“Sometimes the river was so low, we needed extra guys to push the boat,” he said.

The river was also a place for washing clothes and for play. The children would carry water up to the top of a slope to the river and make a mud slide, among other amusements.

Martinson said there was lots of wildlife, particularly snakes. Indeed, he owed his experience in Matar to a snake. His predecessor on the project had been in Matar for two weeks when “he got really sick. The average temperature is about 110 to 120 and he needed to get inside in the middle of the day and lie down. He did this one day and out of the grass roof, a snake fell. He stood up and said, ‘I’m done.’ They called me.”

So, in the tukuls that were built for the MSF staff under Martinson’s aegis, a type of netting he called “shadow netting” was put up under the grass roofs to keep the snakes out of the living quarters—at least from above. In Martinson’s tukul, a turkey vulture set up housekeeping.

“He lived up there and made sure that I got up on time,” said Martinson.

Martinson said that grass is the basic building material “and there are different kinds of grass for different uses.

“Labor is segregated,” he added.

“The grass work is always done by men and the mud walls by women.”

The grass roofs are intricate, he said, showing images of bundles of grass, tied together with a rope made out of grasses.

The mud walls, reinforced by grass, were made by women. While these structures were fi ne in dry weather, in the rain storms, they “melted,” said Martinson. For the health center buildings, they had grass roofs made with a big over hang to minimize the melting, and in the more permanent structures, they brought in cement blocks or covered the outer walls with cement. In the primary structures, they made cement floors.

Water had to be brought to the clinic from a well that the United Nations Childrens’ Fund (UNICEF) had drilled some time before, Martinson said.

“The water carriers were women,” he said. “They carried water in 20 liter containers from the well. We would use 1,700 to 2,000 liters a day. When I arrived, they were carrying the containers on their heads. We got them wheel barrows. You could put four or fi ve of the 20 liter containers in a wheelbarrow. By the time we left, we had gotten them a pickup truck.”

Most of the clinical staff were from other parts of Ethiopia, such as Addis Ababa.

“They had horrible places to stay and they were quitting so we decided to build them a dormitory. We tried to do it with local labor—wood frame, mud walls, tin roofs, and cement as a fi nal layer. They did some amazing stone work. We trucked in piles of stone. Everything is manual. If you need mud, you dig,” Martinson said.

Most of the centers’ clients were women and children. Almost all the children were mal-nourished.

“That became the thing we treated the most,” said Martinson.

At fi rst the Nuar were reluctant to visit the center, particularly since in the beginning their patients were extreme cases and could not be saved.

“This population had never seen western medicine and their acceptance at fi rst was very slow. When we fi rst opened the clinic, the only patients they brought us were those that the local medicine man had given up on. They were dying and we got a reputation being a place to die. It took a couple of success stories to get over that.”

But with time, they had success and the Nuar were more willing to visit the center. Among other things, the center has a delivery room—”the only one within miles,” said Martinson.

They also had a supply of “Plumpy’nut,” a peanut based food supplement that has become incredibly useful in areas where children are dying from lack of nourishment.

Plumpy’nut “has a two year shelf life and requires no water, preparation or refrigeration,” according to the Plumpy’nut website. It is made of “a peanut-based paste, sugar, vegetable fat, and skimmed milk powder, reinforced with vitamins and minerals.”

It is manufactured by a French company, Nutriset.

“But if the children are too malnourished, they have to be intravenoulsy fed before they can eat,” Martinson said.

The children are also subject to eye infections because of the dust and wind.

While Martinson was there, the

whole village burned. Seemed a couple of guys on a Sunday afternoon were sitting in a tukul with an open fi re, drinking ouzo. The fi re got away from them and burned the town down.

The same thing had happened fi ve years before.

“We had all these plans to help them out but they were not all that interested,” Martinson said. “Ten days later they were already starting to sell stuff, they put out their merchandise on mats. The fi rst thing to come out was ouzo.”

Martinson said the Nuar believe that when they burn the grass they will have better growth the following year. But actually,” he said, “the fi re gets so hot that it kills the nutrients in the soil.”

“The soil is basically clay. With a lot of rain you get a lot of mud. I spent a lot of time with a come-along in the rainy season,” he said.

Despite the problems of malnourishment, Martinson said there were always kids everywhere, excited and having fun. He regretted that he hadn’t recorded the sounds of Matar, which, he said, are an important part of the over-all picture, between the kids at play and the exuberant church celebrations, singing and dancing and every other sound from an agreeable people.

Life expectancy is not great, however. Martinson thought it might be in the 40s.

“They don’t have a good way of counting how old they are,” he said.

They are subject to a host of problems, tuberculosis, digestive tract worms, malaria.

Security was never an issue for Martinson in Matar.

“We had a few guys come through town with machine guns. There was a family feud,” he said. “They shot someone. When that happened, every tukul all of a sudden produced a guy with an AK47. It was unbelievable, but some years before, there had been problems in the area.”

Martinson said the MSF staff had see ETHIOPIA page 5

Annual food drive nearing the end To the editor: The Annual September Food Drive is nearing the end. As most of you know, I began this drive four years ago to help out our local food pantries. We’ve had some businesses willing to collect food for the drive. I appreciate all those who have participated.

Whatever is received for food is a huge benefi t. The pantries are in desperate need of food this time of year,

especially with the holidays approaching. I brought some food to Tri- County Cap last week and there shelves are very bare. This is why I do it.

Anything helps.

If you are participating in the drive or are willing to donate some non perishable items, please drop them off here at Caron Building any time. It will be greatly appreciated.

NFHP to host Lumberjack Festival Sunday To the editor: On October 2, Northern Forest Heritage Park (the Park) will host the 12th Annual Lumberjack Competition and Festival. The park is located at 942 Main Street in Berlin NH. Last year 48 Lumberjacks and Lumberjills registered for the show!

The most ever, until this year that is. This year there are 76 Log Busters coming to Berlin to compete for $3,640 in prize money. They will travel from California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Our Canadian neighbors will be well represented also with competitors coming from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. The events they will compete in include Axe Throw, men and women; Bow Saw, men and women; Underhand Chop, men and women; Standing Block

Chop, Open Class Chainsaw, Jack and Jill Crosscut, Two Person Crosscut, and Two Person Log Rolling (Peavey).

In the past there was an overall winner that applied only to the men. That was due to the nature of the events the fi rst 11 years of this competition. This year there will be an overall winner for the women as well. That’s because the number of events for women has increased signifi cantly.

There’s a lot of excitement about this year’s competition and that’s evident in the number of registered competitors.

Donald Quigley, professor of Forestry at University of NH agreed to act as emcee again this year. He has a passion for this sport and does a fantastic job on the stage introducing events and competitors. He is also known to entertain the crowd with humorous logging anecdotes.

Don is also co-owner of Granite State Lumberjack Shows, see FESTIVAL page 9

Football Champs, 1965

Poof Tardiff

Once upon a Berlin Time

Football Champs, 1965 Hello fellow Berlinites. Ever since the late 1890s, Berlin High School has had as one of its sports activities the game of football. Some of the teams in the 1920s even went undefeated, but there was no clear state champion until the NHIAA got started over sixty years ago. With this, true state champions were developed. As for Berlin, it was in the fall of 1965 that they won a Division IV state football title. Here is their story.

During the middle of August 1965, the Berlin High School football team was hard at work preparing for an eight game schedule that that would culminate in the fi rst state championship that BHS would ever have.

Actual practice started on August 17; with sessions held twice a day until school got started. In all, there were 32 practices before the beginning of the 1965-66 school year. For those of us who played football at BHS, we can always remember the sore muscles, the heat, grueling practices and how tired we were for the first several days or so.

Lead by head coach Paul Squarcia, the outlook for the upcoming Mountaineer season appeared to be bright. They held the position of “dark horse” in Division IV. Working out at the quarterback position in practice were Bob Falsani and Ken Wiswell. Along with this, many other young men were trying to secure positions in the starting line up.

One drawback was that some of Berlin’s talent was still involved in American Legion baseball and were playing out West in the national playoffs. The good news though was that they would be back in time to practice and be ready for game one on Saturday September 11 at Conway against the always strong Eagles of Kennett High.

By the beginning of September, the BHS football team was rounding into condition and they were going to have a full scale scrimmage that would determine the starting lineup for their upcoming Kennett game.

When the eight game schedule began, each contest was played on a Saturday. I do remember playing under the lights a few times at Memorial Field on Friday nights, but by 1965, they no longer did this.

On Saturday September 11, 1965, Berlin High took its fi rst step towards a championship with a victory at Kennett.

Because there was no doctor on hand, this game got a late start. Once it did commence though, quarterback Bob Falsani did

some fine passing with Greg Kolinsky, Rollie Goulet and John Odell being on the receiving end. With the great defense of Jim Morris and the two way play of Kolinsky, Berlin went on to victory 18-6.

Berlin’s next game was against the Towle High School Tigers in Newport, New Hampshire. This game was a big one for BHS, as Towle had been the co-champion for Division IV in 1964.

Quarterback Bob Falsani completed about half of his pass attempts, but the completed ones were beautiful and had great gains. Falsani scored two touchdowns with Billy Dussault and Greg Kolinsky scoring the others. With a great team effort, Berlin picked up another crucial road victory 27-12.

With former coach Mike Walsh (Plymouth) and his old assistant Paul Squarcia meeting each other on the gridiron Saturday afternoon September 25, 1965 at the Memorial Field, the stage was set for one of the great games of the season.

The Mountaineers earned their third win of the young season against the PHS Bobcats, when Billy Dussault was sprung loose and scampered for an eighty yard run that was good for a touchdown. BHS then went on to beat Plymouth 14-6.

As October came along the football team from BHS took a giant step toward annexing the Division IV title when they upended the strong Franklin High Tornadoes. The Berlin boys made it three wins and no losses in division play and their fourth straight victory of the season to include the Kennett win.

The stars for this game were Bob Falsani, Billy Dussault, Larry Lamontagne, Pete Demers and Greg Kolinsky, as Berlin squeaked out a 13-8 triumph.

In game fi ve, Berlin showed their power and speed, as they rolled over the Hanover Marauders on Hanover’s home turf with a convincing 29-8 win. In this game, Billy Dussault, Bobby Falsani, Greg Kolinsky and Jim Morris all played close to peak performances. With this victory, BHS grabbed undisputed position of first place in the 1965 Division IV football action.

Berlin’s sixth game of the 1965 season was a scare, as Paul Squarcia’s team had to come from behind against the Crusaders of Littleton High at Berlin’s Memorial Field.

The BHS squad was completely outplayed see CHAMPS page 5

ETHIOPIA from page 3

In Martinson’s adventurous life he has moved from being a teacher of physics, to managing the AMC lodge at Pinkham Notch, to managing the Siple Center in Antarctica, to running the information systems group for the research part of Partners Healthcare in Boston. Working with MSF has been a goal of his for many years.

“I have always traveled a lot in different countries,” he said. “There are a lot of people who have nothing, really nothing. I believe that basic health care is something every society needs access to in order to thrive. The best way to foster peace and security is through humanitarian work and my choice is providing basic health care.

For me, it’s a strategy of promoting peace and maybe preventing conflict. I’m not sure whether this works or not, but if people are relatively healthy and have some food, they are not going to be (so angry).”

state football championship.

During this year, three seniors made the prestigious all-state fi rst team.

They were: Bob Falsani, Greg Kolinsky and George Gregoire. Jim Morris made the second team and Walter Nadeau made honorable mention.

There were so many heroes that made this season a success for Berlin that it would take a full sports page to mention them and what they did.

Every member of this team had to be proud of their accomplishments and I am sure that these men still remember to this day, the thrill they had almost forty-six years ago.

As for football at BHS, it came to an end with the 1981 season, leaving local fans with very little to do with their Saturday afternoons in the fall.

It has now been thirty years since pigskin fanatics here in Berlin witnessed long runs, great tackles; along with superb passing and catches that were made in order to score those brilliant touchdowns at Memorial Field.

The 1965 Berlin High football squad gave their fans many things about which to brag and they became state champions without the use of hockey sticks, skates or pucks.

signs on their vehicles that indicated they were not carrying weapons and they posted that sign at all entrances to their facilities. Anyone carrying would have to leave the weapon with Martinson while at the clinic.

“We (MSF) are neutral and that is known worldwide,” he said.

Currently Martinson is in Randolph but he expects to have a new assignment with MSF some time in late fall or early winter. His last assignment was to set up a health center in China where MSF had discovered the population was suffering from hypertension and Diabetes 2, but there were so many delays getting the go ahead from the local Chinese officials that Martinson and the physician he was working with decided to leave. The project is still an active one for MSF, but will not proceed until the necessary local permits have been granted.

during the fi rst half of this game, but took control throughout the second half and came up with an 8-8 deadlock. The stars of this game were Alan Decosta and Mike Agrodnia, but Berlin was still undefeated with two more games to go.

On the last Saturday in October of 1965, Berlin’s league title was now in real jeopardy, when the stubborn Kennett High Eagles came to Berlin and played some tough defense. Of course, they had faced the Mountaineers at the beginning of the season and wanted revenge. Although Berlin did not win, they also did not lose, as they too played tough defense. The fi nal score of game seven was 0-0.

It was now down to the fi nal game and their adversary was Kingswood Regional High School. The game, which was played in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, showed Berlin reverting back to their winning form.

In this game, the “Paper City” boys took charge in the very first minute of play and never looked back. They dominated their opponent and went on to a decisive 37-8 win. An intercepted pass

by Dennie Laroche started the Mountaineers on their great scoring spree.

After Laroche brought the ball to the Kingswood three yard line, the Berlin scoring commenced and six different BHS players produced touchdowns.

This contest capped an undefeated season for the young men of Paul Squarcia and cemented the Division IV New Hampshire Schoolboy title for 1965. It became Berlin’s first and only

Alex Ritchie. He said Cate Street Capital is dedicated to helping rebuild Berlin.

“It’s thrilling to have that kind of a partner,” he said.

Grenier said he is also committed to helping Isaacson Structural Steel recover from Chapter 11 as a strong and viable company with local ownership. He said it is important to retain those jobs and said he supports the city doing whatever it can to assist Isaacson.

Grenier said he has a good team on the council and said he is supporting the re-election bids of Councilors Lucie Remillard, Russell Otis, Roland Theberge, Diana Nelson, and Dori Ducharme. He also gave credit to Councilor Mike Rozek and former Councilor Bob Danderson for helping him change the direction of the former council. Grenier specifi cally declined to endorse the re-election of Councilor

Tom McCue, who was an opponent of the Laidlaw biomass project.

Working together, Grenier said the present council has promoted new employment opportunities, kept the tax rate down, and improved both the quality of life and the attitude in the city.

“I think we have succeeded beyond my wildest dreams in all those areas,” he said.

While he feels the city has made major strides forward over the past two years, Grenier said there are still challenges ahead. He said there is going to be increasing downshifting of costs and programs onto communities as the federal and state governments continue to cut funding and services.

He said that will impact local taxes.

Grenier said the recent U.S. Census fi gures illustrate some of the roadblocks facing the city. The city’s population has dropped to 10,034. Excluding the 750 state prison inmates, those

over 65, those on assistance, and students, Grenier estimated the city’s productive job base is about 3,500 people. He said that figure needs to be up around 5,000.

“We need to expand that base because that’s the economic engine for the community,” he said.

The opening of the federal prison, he said, would help expand that job base and bring in younger workers because of the 37 year age limit for new hires. Grenier said he has been in touch with staffers for the state’s Congressional delegation and said he is hopeful Congress will pass an operating budget for the prison by early next year.

Grenier said he also supports the effort underway to revitalize the downtown. He said the city has to be a player and be willing to invest fi nancially in the downtown to grow that business sector. Grenier said he endorses the increasing role the

Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority is playing in the downtown district.

He is more cautious about the discussion underway on looking at a regional approach to education in the valley. Grenier said he believes there are opportunities for the local communities to collaborate but is unconvinced all the local school systems will be able to fully integrate into a single district. He suggests exploring a tuition agreement that would have Berlin High School accept all area students in grades 9-12 with a high school school board that would allow for regional representation.

Grenier said the city’s ability to make major infrastructure improvements is hampered by fi scal constraints. He said the city needs to complete the Route 110 project which will leave limited funds for other work.

He said he does not support taking on see GRENIER page 7

Gorham mill hopes to be operating on natural gas by Oct. 20

major debt to do such work and the city can not afford to raise taxes if it wants to compete for businesses.

As mayor, Grenier said he has tried to avoid laying off city employees whom he said overall “do a super job”. He said , however, that maintaining the current workforce is increasingly challenging with higher retirement costs and double-digit health insurance increases.

He said without help from the city’s collective bargaining units it would be virtually impossible to keep current workforce levels. As someone who has experienced being laid off, Grenier said he is always “willing to go the extra mile to find funds to keep people working”.

and Plant Manager Willis Blevins said he hopes it will be operating permanently by Oct. 20.

The boiler has been converted to burn natural gas which is expected to One bright note on the tax front, Grenier said is the Payment-in-Lieu of Taxes agreement the city reached earlier this year with Cate Street Capital for the biomass plant. Under the 22-year agreement, Berlin will receive $34 million in fi xed payments and an estimated $9.7 million in revenue from the sale of Renewable Energy Credits.

Prior to running for mayor, Grenier served 15 years as a city councilor. He is also a Coos County Commissioner.

He is employed at Berlin City Dealership.

“I’ve been in city government in the worst of times. Now, I want to be here when we can truly make a difference in the future of Berlin,” he said.

save the mill as much as $1 million a month over No. 6 fuel oil. Blevins said new burners and controls have been installed on the boiler.

Trans-Canada, owner of the Portland National Gas Transmission System pipeline, will construct the tap from its main pipeline into the new spur connecting to the mill. That work will be completed by the second week of October.

Blevins said he is starting up the No. 4 paper machine today and it will run as long as the orders last. He said when it shuts down, he expects to

have enough orders to start up the No. 1 machine. The No. 9 towel machine is running and Blevins said he is hopeful that it will run steady now.

Gorham Paper and Tissue is still reviewing bids for a new tissue machine that it plans to install at the mill. The company last month received six bids for the machine.

Blevins said mill offi cials are seeking additional documentation and working hard analyzing the different bids.

He said they hope to make a decision soon. The entire process is expected to take 15 months.

FESTIVAL from page 4

Inc. which produces professional Lumberjack competitions around the country for the Stihl Timbersports Series as seen on ESPN networks.

We are truly fortunate and grateful to have Don with us once again.

Rose Chagnon serves as the registrar for this event. She has her hands full coordinating the events for the 76 Log Bullies that have registered for this show. And it promises to be an exceptional show. Special thanks to our consultant, Janice Gingras, whose efforts to help organize this show is sincerely appreciated.

Many of the spectators in the audience like to fl ex their muscles and show their competitive skills. The Log Throw for men and boys along with the Fry Pan Toss for women and girls are very popular activities at the Lumberjack Show. Men and women compete for cash prizes while boys and girls compete for gifts. Many participants come back to see if anyone beat their personal best. If that happened they sign up to give it another shot. The competition is friendly but determined.

The Androscoggin River Boat Tours will be limited this year due to the lowering of the River by Brookfi eld Renewable Power. This is necessary in order for Brookfi eld to repair their Sawmill Hydro Dam. We are very pleased to announce that Ben and Bill, two very striking Belgian Horses weighing approximately 2,000 pounds each, will pull a western style covered wagon providing rides from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.that is sure to be a crowd pleaser. These gentle giants are extremely well trained, simply amazing and beautiful animals.

Children will especially enjoy the action and competition in the Burling (log rolling) Pool. Burling demonstrations and coaching will be put on by the talented and charming Eileen Kelly of Randolph.

Eileen will demonstrate the art of Burling and then oversee the competition. Eileen will also sing the American and Canadian National Anthems during the opening ceremonies at 11:30 a.m. The Burling Pool also serves as our Fishing Pond. The Fishing Derby is a hit every time. The excitement, apparent in the children’s expressions as they “land” their fi sh, is priceless. While there are a few “special” prizes, every child who participates wins something at both the Fishing Derby and Log Rolling competitions.

There will be arts and crafts tables for the children all day. There will be displays, face painting and demonstrations along with several vendors.

We extend a huge thank you to all the sponsors of the 12th annual Lumberjack Competition and Festival. They are Chap-

man Scrap Metal & Recycling, City of Berlin, Cooper Cargill & Chant, Greetings Jewelers, Hancock Lumber, HE Bergeron Engineers, Inc., Jericho Motor Sports, Plum Creek, Public Service of NH, Sappi Fine Paper North America, The Town & Country Motor Inn & Resort, Wagner Forest Management LTD, and White Mountain Lumber Company. These are the companies that have replied to date.

I believe there will be others and, to be sure, they will be recognized as well. The support of these companies is critical in assisting Northern Forest Heritage Park with the Lumberjack Competition & Festival. Thank you so very much for your continued interest and support!

There are additional businesses that have sponsored other events at the park or assisted in a meaningful way. These businesses include Alpine Machine, Inc., Appalachian Mountain Club, Arts Alliance of Northern NH, Berlin IGA Foodliner, Bisson’s Sugar House, Caron Building Center, Coca Cola of NNE, Dan Hebert, Inc., Great Northwood’s Container Service, Isaacson Structural Steel, LaBottega Saladino, Libby’s Bistro, Magic 104/98.1 FM, Mr. Auto, NCIA, North Country Senior Meals Center, North Woods Rafting, Northland Restaurant & Dairy Bar, Northway Bank, Rudy’s Market, Tremaine Opticians and White Mountain Distributors.

Northern Forest Heritage Park is exceptionally pleased to receive the recognition and support of these outstanding community oriented businesses! Thank you is simply not an adequate expression to tell all of our sponsors just how much they are appreciated. And special thanks to all of the publications that published this letter. These newspapers help to spread the word and that is incred-

ible!

Northern Forest Heritage Park is a community park providing everyone who enters with a sense of place - a sense of belonging; a place to relax, to spend the time of day and visit with family, friends and neighbors. Many have heard this inviting statement we’d like to reiterate from the Beverly Hillbillies Show; “c’mon in, set a spell, take yer shoes off” and at the end of the day we want to say; “Ya’all come back now, ya hear!” Perfect statement for a Park that is all inviting, all the time!

The park, owned and operated by

Tri-County Community Action Program, Inc., continues in the spirit of community action and community development by maintaining a valuable community resource for all residents and visitors to enjoy. There’s always something going on at the Park! For more information please call 603-752-7202, email heritage@ ncia.net or visit www.northernforestheritage.org Mark your calendars for the 12th annual Lumberjack Competition and Festival. It will be held Oct 2, 2.

By Holiday Mathis you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have a different level of awareness and therefore will not follow the same path as those around you. You’ll do your own thing and find your own way of avoiding pitfalls and potholes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There is a wide spectrum of choices available to you, but they are not all so readily seen. You won’t really understand your options until you’ve experienced a few of them, so dive in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ).

Your sacred wish will be mysteriously granted. If you asked 10 people why the practice of sacred wishing works, you would get 10 different answers, and all of them would be, in a way, true.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your DNA does dictate some aspects of your life, though perhaps not as many as you thought. You’ll embrace your physical gifts and fi nd a way to frame your limitations that makes them seem like assets.

PISCES (Feb. 19 -March 20). You will be generous with your time and your creativity. This generosity is attractive to many, and you’ll have to be careful about whom you let into your life so as not to be taken advantage of.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 29 ).

Your professional life will be invigorated, and you will take pleasure in fi nding new ways to be useful to others when you are not working. You’ll receive unexpected gifts and money now through October. In 2011, creative projects are instrumental to a healing process. Romance is featured in April.

Aries and Taurus people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 25, 38 and 10.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). People will follow and learn from you. You are someone people want to be like. You will effortlessly provide quality education and responsible recreation. It’s just who you are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have a network of friends, but you are not dependent on them and do not feel the need to be in constant contact with them. Because you are your own person, you have more to give your friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll chuckle wisely and walk with the shamans. Maybe you’ll get caught up in the race again or return to other kinds of silliness tomorrow. But for now, you’re peacefully “over” it all.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re on a roll, and the momentum will continue to build as long as you don’t interrupt it. You stay focused on what’s going great in your life, and the great happenings just keep coming.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are helpful by nature to such a degree that you can hardly hold back your help from anyone who appears to need it.

You should be careful not to assume people are in need, though. Ask to be sure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know that your life has a purpose, but you’re not always sure exactly what that purpose is and how you could manifest it to the greatest effect. You’ll get some clarity on the matter today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Keep marching forward. Don’t tiptoe, and don’t run. The best approach will be steady, temperate, measured and determined. If you are working with a team, they easily will fall in step with

HUSBAND’S CONSTANT CORRECTING WEARS DOWN WIFE’S HAPPINESS

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Will,” and I have been married three years. It’s a good marriage on most levels, but what causes most of our problems is the way he treats me. Will always assumes his way is correct. When I do something around the house, he comes up behind me and re-does it -including refolding the clothes. He even corrects the way I speak and pronounce words.

It has gotten to the point that I have shut down. I don’t do much of anything around the house anymore because I fi gure it’s a waste of my time. Will gets angry and makes fun of my “laziness.” How do I get through to him that some things aren’t worth making me feel miserable? When I try to explain how he makes me feel, he gets mad and pouts. -- GETTING TIRED OF IT IN TEXAS DEAR GETTING TIRED: From your description of your household, your relationship with your husband is NOT “good.” In fact, the way Will is treating you could be considered a form of abuse. By constantly belittling and correcting you, he is trying to assert control and shake your confi dence in yourself.

A husband who pouts and makes you feel bad when you tell him he’s making you miserable is a poor life partner. He may be insecure, overbearing or have OCD. Or he could be a potential abuser. Insist on marriage counseling to fi nd out which, or get out of there while you still can.

DEAR ABBY: My “Uncle Bernard” has a colorful personality. He has always been full of tall tales about his exploits and celebrity encounters.

About fi ve years ago, my uncle announced that he had

been awarded a Purple Heart. I know for a fact that Uncle Bernie was a member of the Merchant Marines on a ship that never left the Great Lakes. He also isn’t listed on the offi cial Purple Heart recipient registry, which makes me wonder where he got the medal.

Uncle Bernie hasn’t been feeling well, so he has prepared his obituary, which notes that he was a recipient of the Purple Heart. He has also told us he wants the medal displayed at his funeral. I am aghast! I don’t think I’ll be able to grin and bear this one, Abby. He’s a fake, and I don’t want his children and church to be embarrassed. What he’s doing is wrong. What would YOU do? -- BITING MY TONGUE FOR NOW DEAR BITING: Uncle Bernie appears to be a fabulist, which is a polite term for liar. That he would masquerade as a war hero having never set foot in a war zone is disgusting.

If I were in your situation I’d wait patiently until the time comes, then talk to his family about the potential embarrassment. When the obituary is published, reference to the medal should be omitted, and at the funeral the medal should not be displayed. Uncle Bernard won’t know the difference, trust me.

DEAR ABBY: Today I asked my wife of many years, “Do you still love me?” Her answer was, “At our age, there is friendship at most.”

I think that love has no age limit. Who is right? -- LEON IN MARCO ISLAND, FLA. DEAR LEON: You are. There is no age limit on love. Love is love, whether you’re a teenager or an octogenarian, and if you’re lucky, even older than that.

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

4-H finishes at Lancaster Fair Lambertson’s shot perfect, Huskies defeat Mounties, 1-0

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM -- Huskie junior Hunter Lambertson’s perfect shot from just outside the penalty area, came just four minutes into the second half, lifting the Gorham boy’s varsity soccer team to a hard fought 1-0 victory over the previously unbeaten and top ranked Berlin Mountaineers in Gorham Tuesday.

It was a very physical and well played game by both teams. The game included spirited play, sensational goal tending at both ends of the field, and great possessional soccer by both teams.

In the fi rst half, there was no scoring. However, it was the visiting Mountaineers that had the best chances. Berlin controlled play and had a three shot series in which Gorham keeper Tyler Sanschagrin made a huge save on a 15 footer from Jake Drouin. The rebound was re-directed for the far corner by a Montie forward. The shot struck the far post and rolled out into the open area. A foot race ensued between Berlin’s Ryan Richard and he was able to steer the ball back towards the Huskie goal with a sliding Gorham defender in front of him. The ball just trickled wide by inches, keeping the score at 0-0.

Toward the mid point of the fi rst half, Berlin keeper Curtis Arsenault boomed a long kick that bounced past the Huskie defense. Mountie forward Ryan Richard used his body well to shield the Huskie defender. Just as Richard got off his shot, Gorham’s Sanchagrin was on him diving to block the scoring attempt.

At the start of the second half, the Gorham scoring chance occured in a blink of an eye. A defl ected Berlin pass went to Huskie junior, Sammy Jensen. The transition from defense to offense was quick for Gorham.

Jensen quickly moved the ball to Lambertson. Lambertson got the ball

at full gallop and had Berlin’s Arsenault coming out of his cage to cut down the angle. Lambertson changed his strategy and had an open opportunity for a quick shot. Lambertson did not blast his shot and instead chipped at it and sent it for the far right corner. The shot had to be perfect to get over the out stretched arms of Berlin’s Arsenault and under the cross bar. The shot was perfect and the Huskies had their 1-0 lead.

The goal was a team leading eleventh on the year for Lambertson.

The score for Gorham seemed to intensify the play by both teams.

Matching yellow cards and a late red card was seen by the purist of sports enthusiasts as nothing but good old fashion hard soccer play.

Berlin’s best chance came at the mid point of the second half. Drouin sent team mate and speedster Jon Lam in on a break away. Again, Gorham’s Sanchagrin came up huge making the block and keeping the Mountaineers off the score board.

At the sound of the fi nal whistle, the Huskies had finally earned a win against a very good Berlin squad.

The Huskies Sanschagrin was huge in twirling the shut out making a total of ten saves, while Arsenault was active in his goal both offensively and defensively blocking a total of five Gorham shots. Gorham had three corners while the Mountaineers did not have a corner all game.

Solid defensive efforts by Huskies Pat Pike, Cody Gauthier, Jake St. Hilare, and Michael Turgeon added to the Gorham shut out.

Both teams have tough opponents next on their schedule. The Mounties travel to Whitefield to take on the Spartans on Saturday. The Huskies take to the road on Thursday to battle the always tough Lisbon Panthers.

BHS 0 0-0 GHS 0 1-1 Scoring: BHS- none. GHS- Lambertson.

Mounties stay perfect fend off Bears, 3-2

BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BRISTOL -- Berlin’s Dimitri Giannos scored a pair of goals and sophomore Connor Jewett knocked in the game winner with under two minutes to play, elevating the Mountaineers to a hard fought 3-2 win over the Newfound Bears, in a boy’s Division III soccer game in Bristol. The victory pushed Berlin to 8-0 on the season.

Giannos scored both of his goals, his third and fourth of the season, from close range in the fi rst half to give the visiting Mounties a 2-0 edge at intermission. The first goal was a header off of a scramble and the second came at 16:15, off of a feed from team mate Brad Frenette.

The home team Bears made a game of it in the second half. Newfound’s Sam Avery began the come-back netting a penalty kick just eleven minutes into the half.

That energized his teammates and just two minutes later, Dalton Fairbank

tied the game from just ten yards away from the Berlin goal on an assist from Jesse Mitchell to dead lock things at 2-2.

The Mountaineers regained their composure and began to play possession soccer. Finally, the game winner came with just under two minutes to play. Winger Dustin Heath carried the ball down the right side and sent a crossing pass to the foot of Jewett for what would be the game winner 3-2.

The goal was Jewett’s third of the year.

For the game, Berlin goal keeper Curtis Arsenault and Newfound Regional’s Zach Robinson had four saves each in their respective cages.

The Mounties held a four to two edge in corner kicks.

Berlin keeps their season going, traveling to their southern neighbor, Gorham, on Tuesday afternoon.
