Christmas Parade transforms Main Street

BERLIN—Berlin’s 2011 Christmas Parade turned Main Street into a festival of bright lights and fantasy Friday.

From Theatre North’s engaging store window scenes with live mannequins in Christmas tableaux, to the colorful parade fl oats, to the long and spectacular fi reworks display, Main Street seemed like a new world.

Thanks to relatively warm weather, good humored crowds emerged before 7 p.m. to line Main Street and admire all the dis-plays.

By six p.m. the Theatre North window tableaux were in place.

SAYWHAT...I want to be uniquely Texas.”

—Rick Perry

MARTINS MILL, Texas (NY Times) — For more than three years, the lake on Jack Mewbourn’s ranch held a secret at its murky bottom: A 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. His grandson was the fi rst one to notice the top of the car peeking out of the water. It wasn’t luck. It was drought.

The water level in the seven-acre lake has dropped about fi ve feet from a lack of rain.

On a recent Saturday, Mewbourn, a longtime rancher in this rural unincor-porated community about 90 minutes southeast of Dallas, took a boat to the middle of the lake with two of his grandsons. They con-fi rmed that the small object they thought at fi rst might be a barrel was indeed a car. Mewbourn called a local constable, and with the help of a diver and a tow truck, the vehicle was slowly dragged out. Inside, still buckled into the driver’s seat, were the remains of Brenda Kay Oliver, who had been miss-ing since July 2008.

Oliver’s relatives said she had never recovered from the trauma of her 19-year-old son’s suicide. He had drowned himself in a nearby lake. The authorities believe Oliver, 55, took her own life by driving her car into Mew-bourn’s lake, about a mile from where her sister, the last person to see her alive, had been living at the time.

LONDON (NY Times) — Iranian protesters screaming “death to England” stormed the vast British embassy compound and a diplomatic resi-dence in Tehran on Tuesday, torched at least one vehicle, tore down the Union Jack, ransacked offi ces and briefl y held six staff members captive during an offi cially approved protest of economic sanctions against Iran’s suspect nuclear energy program.

The assault, reported by Iranian news services and broadcast on Iranian television, ended after several hours and constituted the most serious breach between Britain and Iran in more than 20 years. The images evoked memories of the siege of

the American Embassy following the Iranian revo-lution of 1979. Britain’s Foreign Secretary, William Hague, expressed outrage. He said that Britain held Iran’s government responsible and promised “other, further and serious consequences.”

Hague said in a statement that both British compounds had been stormed by “several hun-dred people, putting the safety of our diplomats and their families at risk and causing extensive damage to our property.” All British staff were accounted for, he said, without making direct reference to the six who had been briefl y held. The status of some local staff remained unclear.

Protesters storm British embassy in Tehran

CAIRO (NY Times) — Polls opened for a second scheduled day of voting on Tuesday after unexpectedly large crowds of Egyptians defi ed predictions of bedlam and violence a day earlier to cast their votes in the fi rst parliamentary elections since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak.

The apparent success of the initial voting on Monday sur-

prised the voters themselves. After a week of violent demon-strations against the interim military rulers, many said they had cast their ballots out of a sense of duty and defi ance, determined to reclaim the prom-ise of their revolution, even as the ruling generals said they intended to share little power with the new Parliament.

There were no reports of

attacks on polling places or stolen ballot boxes, which had been a major worry on the eve of the two-day vote.

“The revolution started so that our voice has a value, so we have to do what we are supposed to do,” said Lilian Rafat, 23, who stood in line for more than four hours Monday, even though she put the chances of a legitimate result at only about “50 percent.”

Voting in historic Egyptian elections enters second day

Los Angeles police withdraw after Occupy eviction deadline passes

LOS ANGELES (NY Times) — It had all the makings of a show-down: shouting protesters, police offi cers in riot gear, with batons drawn as they pushed forward to disperse the crowd. But in the end, as the deadline for Occupy Los Angeles protesters to clear their tents from City Hall passed early Monday morning, there was hardly a commotion.

Protesters staged a sit-in after the eviction deadline passed out-side City Hall in Philadelphia.

Of the thousands of people pro-testing, just four were arrested, offi cials said. When the police con-tinued to press forward to the ire of some protesters, a few threw sticks and plastic water bottles at the offi -cers, who stood by with dozens of plastic handcuffs strapped to their waists. But at dawn, the police with-drew from the area without trying to break up the encampment.

Once again, Los Angeles offi -cials appeared to give the protest-ers far more leeway than their counterparts in the other parts of the country have received in the last several weeks.

Fowler—surrounded by Christmas decorations and dolls of all sizes—hunched over a wooden toy—paint brush in hand and in mouth—acting the part of the toymaker. At Gill’s Florist, Jacob Connelly, Christopher Dimauro, and Robert and Tina Paula-kis acted “The surprise homecoming,” Connelly dressed as the returning sol-dier. In NCIA’s bright window, Amber Donato held a “baby,” and seemed to be communicating with a faraway sol-dier via Skype.

In Maureen’s window, Payton Bell, 7; Kennedy Hogan, 4; McKayla Bell, 11; Liberty Paradis, 8; and Karly Blais, 5, were small ballerinas, surrounded by huge Christmas boxes.

On down Main Street, in his store window, Desmond Bradford, 11, con-templated a twig Christmas tree with one decoration, while surrounded by Charley Brown toys. At Middle Earth, Hayley Bradford, 14, depicting a rec-reated vampira and accompanied by a scary, grinning skeleton, acted “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Next, at Rumorz, Rina Monroe, Kelly Stock, Anna Fowler, and Alyssa MacDonald, styled the look of a Christmas party.

And at the shop next to SaVoir Flare, Heather and Liz Marquis acted the part of Christmas goody bakers, which they actually are. Heather and Pam Jesseman (not in the diorama) are the proprietors of Sweet Mama’s Bakery which is scheduled to open soon at 751 Main Street. Dressed in white bakers’ coats and Christmas elf hats, they were working away, deco-rating cupcakes to look like coconut covered snow balls.

At 7 p.m. the parade began, all the participants having gathered at Memorial Park and maneuvered their big fl oats into place right on time before the start.

Thirty-one organizations partici-pated, including: the Berlin Police Department.; Marine Corp League

men Gilles Laramee, Jacques Hachez, Tony Dube, Robert Marois, and Dave Dubey who were the color guard; the Berlin Fire Department; the Berlin EMS; the Androscoggin Valley ATV Club; the Nansen Ski Club; Miss Berlin/Gorham Linda Montminy; Miss Berlin/Gorham Outstanding Teen Elizabeth Thagouras; the Berlin High School cheerleaders; Norm’s Truck; the National Guard; Councilor Ray Burton; New Hampshire State Sena-tor John Gallus; a crowd of youngsters from the Brown School; two vehicles from the Gorham EMS; Bobo T. Clown; Laconia Savings Bank; the Androscog-gin Valley Chamber of Commerce; the White Mountain Ridge Runners, cel-ebrating their 40th anniversay with a 60-foot long display including their groomer and drag, a fl oat with a tree and TV fl at screens showing images of snowmobiling, two snowmobiles from Jericho Motor Sports, and an Easter Seal display, auguring the big Easter Seal weekend scheduled for Feb. 4-5 in Gorham this year; Personal Touch Homecare; BBQ guy; New England Search and Rescue; Verizon Wireless; Cub Scouts; the Salvation Army with their “Reason for the Season” fl oat car-rying actors Clint Trufchka and Rose Dodino playing Joseph and Mary with a swaddled doll as the infant Jesus of the Christian’s Christmas story; and, to top it all off, the Kiwanis’ wonderful Santa and Mrs. Claus fl oat with the white haired Christmas hero and her-oine waving cheerfully to the crowd as the fl oat made its way up Main Street.

Unfortunately, the spectacular fi re-works started before Santa and Mrs. had made it up to City Hall and some of the crowd rushed to the E. Mason Street bridge for a better spot to see the fi rey show before the end of the parade, but all was in good humor and the fi reworks, which must have gone on for better than 30 minutes, were an augury of an exciting year ahead for Berlin and the North Country.

PARADE from page one

citing his experience as Governor of Utah in creating a business friendly state, Huntsman is the man to bring it about, he said.

* The federal tax system is broken and needs to be fi xed.

* The U.S. should get out of Afghani-stan.

* Foreign policy should be driven by economics while staying focused on counter terrorism and building a defensive posture that reconciles both.

* Congress needs reform. Hunts-man favors term limits. The revolving door between Congress and lobbyists does not serve the country, he said.

* The fi nancial defi cit is a cancer growing in the country.

* U.S. also suffers from a trust defi -cit in which people no longer trust Congress, the executive branch, or Wall Street; “the next president has to fi x the economy and infuse trust into a system that seems to have lost it all.”

“I need your support,” he said. “My record speaks for itself. I am proud of it. It speaks to a governor with the laser-like focus on the economy and professionalism that I would bring to the job as a president who has lived overseas four times and understands the world as it is.”

In the Q. and A. that followed, Phyl-lis Curcuru, of Randolph, led off by asking what Huntsman would do to simplify federal taxes.

In reply, Huntsman cited his expe-rience as Utah Governor when he said he phased out the loopholes and deductions to lower and broaden the state tax rate. He noted that it took a couple of years and said that he wanted to do the same for the federal tax code. On the corporate side, he said he wanted to phase out “corpo-rate welfare” and lower the rate from 35 percent to 25 percent.

“That means we would be more competitive in relation to the rest of the world,” he said.

Julia Sullivan, of Berlin, noted that she has read that “no one will ever get anything done in Congress because the lobbyists are so powerful and they should be made to wear jackets stamped with the logos of the compa-nies they represent.”

“Great idea,” responded Huntsman with a smile.

Sullivan asked why voters and taxpayers don’t get the same health insurance and pensions as legislators, adding “why don’t we dock their pay until they balance the budget”?

Huntsman responded that some-thing needs to be done about the revolving door—the fact that Con-gressmen become so accustomed to living and working in Washington, D.C. that when they leave their posi-tions in the legislature, they stay in D.C. as lobbyists, using the same con-tacts they formed as Congressmen to promote special interests.

One of the audience members asked why Huntsman wasn’t getting more traction “out there.”

Huntsman replied, with a smile, “we are waiting for you to register with those who make the samplings.”

Another asked if Huntsman would support a constitutional amendment to limit the amount of money spent during elections.

Huntsman said that he is in favor of campaign fi nance reform. “We need something better than what we have

today,” he said.Asked his comment on the Occupy

Wall Street movement and why Wall Street is the focus rather than govern-ment, Huntsman noted that the pro-test is about economics—the problem in the U.S. today.

He added that he is in favor of free speech, particularly after serving as U.S. ambassador to China where “you get more than four in the street and they disappear. I like it that they (the OWS people) can gather and speak to the issues of the day.”

As for the focus on Wall Street, he elaborated, “I think there are legiti-mate concerns about banks that are too big to fail, guaranteed by the gov-ernment.”

How about the big gap....the “We are the 99?” Edith Tucker, of Randolph, asked.

“We need more opportunities. I want to be president of the 99 and the 1 percent,” Huntsman said. “We need policies that speak to all the people. We have to quit drawing the lines of division between us. People have the right to speak out on the issues of the day.”

Another member of the audience asked about the police dispersal of the protesters in Los Angeles and “some other places, muting the protest.”

“Free speech has to co-exist with rule of law,” Huntsman replied.

Another asked about education. “What is your plan to fund education and how about increasing education support along the lines of the GI Bill after WWII which led to the greatest expansion of our country.”

Huntsman replied that in his opin-ion, education funding should come from the local economies and that in the U.S. “in higher education, we have dropped the ball on job training and work force opportunities. We have to reengage on the local level.”

He said that when he was governor of Utah, job training in line with local industries was promoted. “We allowed them (the local businesses) to come in and work with the teachers (in a way) that would make the kids better aligned with the skills that were needed. It was good for the schools and good for the students,” he said. “Everyone wants to go to a four year school, but that’s not right. We have to have more opportunities in job train-ing. Without that, we can’t have the manufacturing renaissance,” he said.

How can we save Medicare? another asked.

“We have to change it so that the program is more like Medicare B with greater choice for individuals. We have to fi nd a cut-off—55 is about right,” Huntsman said. “People (older than 55) have banked on (Medicare) and it’s not fair to disrupt those plans. For those younger than 55, the rules of the game change. You are given a certain amount and you can use it to make more of your own choices. And there should be a means test. Those of higher income don’t need Social Security or Medicare. Some folks need it and some don’t. There is a way of means testing to make that fair.’

Longer term, Huntsman said, he believes in personalized medicine which, in the future, can be individu-alized thanks to advances in under-standing predispositions.

Today, he noted, the last year or two of life are the most expensive, but

when risk assessment can take place early, “we will be able to attack disease at a different level. That will have sig-nifi cant implications for health care and the way we look at health and wellness. The dynamic will change the way we assess health risk and the way it is funded,” he said.

He said, “We need to begin from scratch (to solve the health care funding problem). He said the costs of health care need to be understood better by all, including patients, whom he appeared to expect to be able to assess their needs and potential treatment in the new world of health care funding.

But Ron Zager, of Glen, spoke up to say, “Some of us in small business have had to deal with small business insurance plans. For us, Medicare is a godsend. It works and it costs three percent. You can’t be turned down or knocked down because of a preexist-ing condition. Every time we have dealt with private insurance compa-nies we have had to have a new insur-ance company every year or so. Either they leave the state or become prohib-itively expensive. The move to priva-tizing does not take this into account. The powers that be—those on govern-ment programs—have never had to go out and buy insurance on the open market. Someone needs to explain it

to them.”Huntsman responded that health

care policies may not be accessible because of cost relating to a lack of portability (lack of competition) “and that has to change. We need affordable health insurance policies, stripped down. . . . One problem today is that you can’t do that because of restric-tions on interstate policies. It would be good if people in other sectors could access (the same policies).”

Asked if he “was comfortable” with the individual mandate requiring individuals to buy health insurance under the Obama health care pro-gram, Huntsman said that when he was governor of Utah, he discussed every option for health care with leg-islators. “We looked at a mandate and free market approach and ultimately we got the free market. It doesn’t solve the problem instantly, but we are learning from the trial in Mas-sachusetts, (that a mandate) doesn’t work. I think we need more options.”

Zager noted that insurance rates on a free market “will be ten times as high.”

“You don’t think there would be cherry picking by the insurance com-panies?” Zager asked.

Huntsman responded, “You have to free up the market place so insurance

Lala and I had an interesting sojourn in the city to celebrate Thanksgiving. Lala’s daugh-ter, Amy, came up to Shelburne on the Sunday night before the Thursday holiday and took us to her house in Arlington on Monday to stay the week and celebrate Thanksgiving. We also accompanied her to Derry, NH, for the New Hampshire Philharmonics Holiday Pops concert at the Stockbridge Theater on Saturday.

Both of the above were joyous occasions, but we also had other memorable experi-ences. While visiting Amy we planned a visit to a local home for the elderly. (Yup, both Lala and I are in our eighties, and time is defi nitely marching on.) Our fi rst visit was to Sunrise in Arlington, a few blocks from Amy’s apartment. This establishment is part of a national chain of establishments provid-ing respite care for the elderly. Based on the extent of services provided, Sunrise could easily provide for our needs. My problem is in the monthly cost which substantially exceeds my monthly income.

The second place we visited was in Read-ing, Mass. It was of particular interest to my niece, Beverly Anderson and to me, because it is located in what was once the Pearl St. School where, back in the 1950s, Bev’s aunt and my sister, Dorothy, had once worked as the school secretary. Dorothy went on to

move to New York and, eventually, become the secretary to the treasurer of IBM. This place offered many services in a bit more relaxed atmosphere. It would be fi ne, and more affordable, for me. Amy did fi nd out more of its “modus operandi” and questioned its security level.

The visit to Reading, where I noticed noth-ing that reminded me of the years I had spent going there to school and work as a teenager. The Walsh Family lived in neighboring North Reading, was preceded by lunch at Bev and Doug Anderson’s house in Lynnfi eld. This was on Friday. The holiday on Thursday had seen 25 family members gathered for the hol-iday meal. We were happy to hear the stories, however.

Our dinner had been at Amy’s house, where her two sons, Will and Matt joined with fi ve of Amy’s friends for an excellent holiday meal. It was a true “groaning board” as eleven of us sat at a table stretching clear across the kitchen to eat scrumptiously and drink heart-ily as the afternoon faded into evening.

As the concert ended on Saturday evening, Amy loaded Lala and I into her Prius for the long ride home to Gorham and Shelburne. Traffi c was light and the road was clear as we were whisked home for a long sleep. It had been a joyous time and Lala and I have food for thought about our near future.

Holiday In The City

Don’t hide your head in the sand; our national bird is the eagle, not the ostrichTo the editor:This morning I watched C-Span and our

Attorney General Eric Holder, was chairing a discussion of our problems of guns being sold within our American borders and ending up in Mexico. Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy stated we aren’t making a big enough effort to bring this matter under control. It’s funny that I never see our president, Barack Hus-sein Obama, present during these hearings. By not sending an adequate number of troops to Iraq to properly defend themselves and be on the offensive, his mishandling of negotiations involving Iraq, and his only interest of getting out of there and leaving the area to be overrun by Iran and not bringing Iran to task for their aiding and abetting the enemy, even going so far as to Iran killing U.S. soldiers, and doing nothing about it. He was against the war which makes me wonder why he didn’t want Sadam Hussein disposed of. Why would Barack Hus-sein Obama not be against Sadam Hussein? His disinterest in maintaining an adequate force to defend our borders makes me wonder is he on our side or just stupid.

I can say as Rush Limabaugh has stated “Obama is either clueless or an imposter”. We have confi scated 94,000 guns in Mexico and 64,000 of them were sold within U.S. borders. We have countless foreign enemies infi trating our borders who mean us harm. Some incident of catastrophic proportions could happen at any time. We have illegal aliens running around all over the country who should be rounded up and put in jail or sent home. Illegal means they haven’t gone through the proper channels to gain entry into this country and that they don’t belong here. They could be up to all kinds of sinister behavior. We have 54,000 troops in Germany, 40,000 in Japan, and 28,500 in Korea and a president asleep at the wheel. We need to

bring all the troops we can home to defend this country and impeach this worthless president who is in the process of giving Iraq back to the enemy after all these years of fi ghting and leav-ing us in danger of being blown to bits like we were during 9/11.

Furthermore, I question the authenticity of Obama’s birth certifi cate. I caught one lady on C-Span in the House of Representatives utter this comment, “There is no record of Barack’s mother being in the hospital in Hawaii when he was born”. That is quite a trick, and he is full of a lot of them, to be born without his mother present at his birth. It looks to me that Barack Hussein Obama is an impostor. Hank Williams Junior was kicked off of Monday Night Football by ESPN because of his comparing Obama to Hitler. I think he is on the right track, except Mr. Williams should have compared Barack Hussein Obama, to Sadam Hussein. I could care less who kicks me off of anything. I’ve been kicked out of a lot of places.

My response to the incident was to cancel my sports package with Time Warner Cable and I no longer watch ESPN. Instead I watch C-Span so I can watch something important involving matters that really matter, not a bunch of over-paid athletes trying to rip each other’s heads off involved in a game whose outcome is of no consequence to the welfare of this nation.

Thank you for your attention and pay more attention to the politics in this country so we can vote people into offi ce who have this nation’s best interest at heart. It’s no time to goof off. We have enough goof offs in our government and it is time to get rid of them. Obama, for example, has been out playing golf most of the time while the country goes down the drain. You can’t run the White House from the golf course. This country doesn’t need a golfer, it needs a presi

Friday’s festivities a resounding successTo the editor:What a great evening it

was in downtown Berlin last Friday night! The wonderful Mannequins in downtown windows, the bright and cheerful Parade of Lights, all climaxed by the astounding fi reworks!

It takes a lot of volunteers to make this happen and thanks goes out to Theater North for coordinating the live mannequins in eight downtown storefronts. The actors created jaw dropping window scenes.

Thanks to mayor and council, the fi reworks were brought back this year and Anderson Pyrotechnics put out a fi reworks display second to none. As we heard many people say at the end of the evening, “Those were the best fi reworks!”

All the organizations that took the time to put together fl oats for the Parade of Lights are to be commended for their efforts in the plan-ning and preparation. The

Kiwanis Club had an aston-ishing fl oat to bring Santa and Mrs. Claus to town. The Chamber of Commerce con-ceived a great idea with their Chamber Express Christmas Train and the White Moun-tain Ridge Runners entered a triple fl oat depicting snowmobiling. There was a three-way tie between these three fl oats. As the judges pondered on who to give the $250 cash prize, they could not pick one over the other and therefore decided to give the cash prize to the Brown School elves for the larg-est number of participants in a group. The cash will go towards the fundraising effort for the Brown School Playground.

The parade and fi reworks this year were sponsored by the Berlin Main Street Program, the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Com-merce, the Kiwanis Club and the city of Berlin.

dent. On the other hand, the way he runs this country it doesn’t matter where he is. One lady I met said he belongs in jail. Like Rush Limbaugh said, “Obama is either clueless or an impostor”. No matter what you think of Rush Limbaugh, he is right on, on this one. It is up to all the voters in this country to believe their vote is important, to be more

knowledgeable of all the candidates running, and to vote in the best can-didate we can, this time. They know, they have bungled the job and have made a mess of this country, believe me, politicians are feeling the heat. Don’t hide your head in the sand! Our national bird is the Eagle not the Ostrich.

Stewart named St. Vincent de Paul employee of the year

BERLIN -- John Stewart has only been employed at St. Vincent de Paul since April of this year. He has a Culinary Arts Degree from the White Mountain Community College and we hired him as a dietary aide with some additional back-up cook duties.

Since he set foot in our door, he has been a “ray of sunshine”, extending his light beams to those around him in the dietary depart-ment and warming the hearts of everyone he meets in every depart-ment.

He has decorated cakes for resi-dent functions with such flare that everyone is amazed at his skills. He

is a team player and maintains a happy, can-do attitude with every-thing he does. On Halloween, John dressed as a woman and made the residents and employees laugh out loud with his antics.

Three months ago, John submit-ted a written proposal on creating a pondless waterfall in the cen-ter’s garden. John volunteered his time collecting rocks for the project and the center supplied the water pump, tank, and tubing. John then set about building his cre-ation. What developed from this is a beautiful, bubbling water fall cascading over rocks, with colorful perennials surrounding it.

would be more affordable.”Tucker asked whether Huntsman thought a city

like Berlin could revive, even with a manufactur-ing renaissance, without the type of federal help “that as a group, Republicans seem to be nervous about?”

Huntsman responded that he saw the economic recovery as taking place thanks to “a combination of the federal government taking steps to improve the competitive environment and local chambers and local offi cials doing what they do well.”

Sullivan asked about the possibility of some-thing like the Civilian Conservation Corps that put so many to work during the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Huntsman was not familiar with the program.Asked what he believes is America’s relation-

ship with Israel, Huntsman replied, “a friend and

ally. That is a centerpiece relationship,” he said.As for China, Huntsman said that there will be

changes in China’s leadership in the next three or four years that he expects will be positive for the U.S.

Huntsman was U.S. Ambassador to China from May 2009 to April 2011 when he resigned to begin his presidential campaign.

“Seventy-fi ve percent of the top leaders in the country will be turning out,” he said.

He anticipates that with the changes, there will be political reform in China because of the rise of the Internet generation in China.

“They want change and reform and more indi-vidual freedoms so you get that, coupled with an economy that is moving down in terms of GDP. We have an opportunity to move up. There will be less manufacturing investment going into China because of political uncertainty,” he said.

Silver Riders share appreciation of ATV recreationBERLIN -- A group of local retirees assembled

weekly during the summer of 2011 to ride their four-wheelers of trails in Northern New Hamp-shire to enjoy the beautiful scenery and wildlife that our region has to offer. It was decided that this fun loving group would call themselves the “Silver Riders” and they chose to purchase hats and shirts to be recognized on the trails. They range from age 56 to 74 and have come to enjoy each other’s com-pany and share the same appreciation for the great form of recreation the sport of four-wheeling has to offer.

While accumulating more than 1500 miles on ATV trails this summer, the Silver Riders also vol-unteered to build new trails, rebuild bridges and maintain older trails in the Millsfi eld trail system.

The riders also contributed to the local economy by stopping at businesses to purchase goods and ser-vices accessible to ATV’s. The Silver Riders testi-fi ed at the Senate committee hearing in Colebrook, on S.B. 107 sponsored by Senator John Gallus. The riders support all efforts to link and expand ATV trail systems to enhance the ATV riding experience in Northern New Hampshire.

Next year the Silver Riders look forward to riding into Pittsburg and into Errol for lunch and refuel-ing as well as riding to the top of Mt. Washington and riding a complete loop of Berlin, Gorham and Success. If you would like to ride with the Silver Riders next year, reach out to one of the members you might recognize in this photo taken at their year ending party.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are more or less used to making people fall in love with you, and you will do this yet again. It’s not a conscious effort, to be sure. In fact, it’s not an effort at all. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re willing to face the truth about a situa-tion, but you’re so close to the scene that you probably won’t be able to see it until another person points it out. It takes an outsider to bring perspective. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Change means more than wishing a situation were different. Then again, probably nothing will change -- and nothing ever has -- without someone fi rst wishing it would. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll share less than perfect parts of yourself to create rapport. “People who don’t have embarrassing stories are untrust-worthy. Or at the very least, they aren’t telling the truth.” -- Suzanne Guillette LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have many interests, and it will be quite easy to follow them around all over the Inter-net, in the library or through the city -- and perhaps all three. Sooner or later, you have to get down to work, though it will probably be “later.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some-times you feel like you’ve been there and done it all. But you haven’t. So shake off the “jaded” dust, and get will-ing to see life anew. It just may glitter for you today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Who cel-ebrates you? Someone does. And if no one comes to mind right now, it’s a sign that maybe you should start the trend by celebrating yourself. After all, you’ve done a lot for people lately. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

must remember to follow up on the important details. Of course, the best way is to write them down. You might lose the paper you wrote them on, but you’ll remember the motion of writing and what you wrote. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you have ever wanted to reach out to someone you hardly knew but felt a strong connection to, this is the right time. You have powerful tools at your fi ngertips, and you’ll use them well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You once tried to avoid smooth talkers, and now you’ll be one. What’s wrong with knowing what you have and selling it to the highest bidder? As long as you strongly believe in the product, your pitch will succeed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be more proud of yourself for complet-ing a hard job than you’ll be for fi nishing an easy one. That’s why you’re likely to choose tasks that challenge your abil-ity. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Deep meditation and spiritual practice will inspire the imagination. So will comic books. Your best bet is a blend of “high” and “low.” And who is to say which is which? TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 30). You plan well, though your year is dotted by exhilarating and unpredictable circum-stances. Next month, something shiny and new replaces what was broken or worn. Your desire for personal accom-plishment will be very strong, and you’ll get the gold in February. Spring brings heightened idealism and spirituality. Aries and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 14, 31, 24 and 28.

DEAR ABBY: I married “Raymond” in 2004. I met his son, “Bill,” a year before the wedding and have been in a relation-ship with him ever since. (He’s married to one of my friends and has a child with her.) Raymond supports me fi nancially and provides all the ne-cessities -- house, car, food, clothes, etc. -- without my having to work. But Bill supports me emotionally, and there’s more of a “connection.” I have learned that marriages dissolve for one of two rea-sons: money or sex. The money is there, but Raymond and I haven’t been romantic in more than a year. Am I walking into a ring of fi re by keeping the relation-ship with Bill? Ray says he loves me and cares about me, but only when I ask how he feels about me. With Bill, I don’t have to ask -- he says it. -- IN A QUANDARY DEAR IN A QUANDARY: May I mention a third reason that marriages break up? It’s when one spouse discovers that the other has been cheating. If your marriage to Raymond, who has endowed you with all the worldly goods he can, is of any importance to you, tell him that although you’re living in style, all of your needs are not being met. Give him a chance to fulfi ll the rest of them. It doesn’t take a clairvoyant to pre-dict that if you don’t value what you’ve got, you will lose it. DEAR ABBY: It has been a diffi cult year. The brother of one of my dear friends had a massive stroke and she is now his caretaker. Another friend’s 15-year-old son recently com-mitted suicide, and a third friend’s 23-year-old daughter is in the late stages of MS. I also have several friends who are dealing with cancer. I always feel lost about what to say or how to reach out and help. How do I respond in these situations? -- HURTING FOR MY FRIENDS

DEAR HURTING: You don’t have to say anything pro-found in order to be supportive. The way to respond is to do for them what you would hope someone would do for you in similar circumstances. Call your friends regularly and keep them informed about what’s going on. Ask how they are do-ing. If they need to vent, listen. If you have spare time, offer to cook them a meal, do some laundry, or give them a few hours to run errands by keeping their sick relative company. I’m sure it will be appreciated. DEAR ABBY: I am a 20-year-old mother of a 1-year-old boy who means the world to me. I was raped two months ago and recently learned that I am pregnant. I am scared to death of telling my mother. When my son was born, his father left for his tour of duty in Iraq and I moved in with her. She is 57 and has helped me out in every way she can since he was killed on his mission. I love my mother dearly and don’t know what I would do without her, but I am at a loss about how to tell her about this pregnancy. Your advice would be appreciated. -- SCARED TO DEATH DEAR SCARED TO DEATH: Your mother should have been told about the rape when it happened. You should have also informed the police, and received counseling and emer-gency contraception and medication to prevent an STD. If you haven’t seen an OB/GYN, schedule an appointment im-mediately to ensure that the baby you’re carrying will be born healthy. You also need to tell your mother before your pregnancy becomes obvious, so the two of you can decide whether you can afford to raise another child or if you should place the child for adoption. Please don’t wait. The longer you do, the harder the discussion will be.

Arthur was born December 2, 1931 and raised in the Panama Canal Zone, Cristobal, Colon, where his father, Arthur, worked for the U.S. government. His mother, Dorothy Davis, came from Otter Creek, Maine, and there remain in that region many other relatives. He attended elementary and high school classes in Panama.

He attended Springfi eld College in Springfi eld, Mass., to earn his Bachelor of Science (1953) and Master of Education (1956) degrees. He received a Biblical Studies Certifi cate from Word of Life Bible Institute in Schroon Lake NY.

He was a veteran of the Korean War, serving in the United States Army.

He began his vocational journey in YMCA’s in New Jersey, Maryland, and Washington, DC, before becoming recreation director in Rockville, Maryland and Salem, New Hampshire.

In 1975 he felt the call to the ministry and attended Word of Life Bible Institute in Schroon Lake, NY in

the 1976/77 year. The summer of 1977 he served at the Niagara Bible Conference and American Mis-sion for Opening Churches in Olcott, New York. Then began as a missionary pastor with AMOC in 1978. His fi rst ministry was with a beginning con-gregation in Bingham/Moscow, Maine, area; then on to Shrewsbury, Mass., for a few years, then a move to the Berlin, NH, area to serve as lay person for fi ve years at the Community Baptist Church in Gorham, NH, and in September of 1989 he became the pastor, a position he held until serious illness caused his retirement in 2001.

He loved sports of any kind and enjoyed rooting for the home town teams whenever he could. During his recreation days he was a certifi ed basketball and baseball offi cial, as well as a swim instructor.

On January 18, 2003 he received a new heart [transplant] at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Mass., after having his overall health restored through a clinical trial using a left ven-tricular assist device for two years. He enjoyed good health until cancer cells began their work in 2008 and, despite treatment, waxed worse and worse beginning in 2010.

A move to Sanford, Fla., in 2009 made things easier for him because of the warm weather. He and June enjoyed their time together there, with sum-mers in Norton, Vt., with daughter, Cindy, and her family. June plans to remain in their mobile home in Fla.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 3, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Christian Fel-lowship Baptist Church, 5 Rockingham Road [Rte 28], Londonderry, NH. In lieu of fl owers, please feel free to send a donation “in memory of Arthur Cor-bett” to: HelpHopeLive, Suite F-120, 150 Radnor Chester Road, Radnor, Penn., 9087.

This organization was formerly the “National Transplant Assistance Fund” which helps all transplant patients to raise funds to help pay the many medical expenses, including rejection medi-cations.

Marjorie A. Costello

vehicle.City Manager Patrick MacQueen

said he did not know if the city could legally refuse to register motor vehicles under that scenario.

Councilor Tom McCue pointed out that the city makes recycling easy for residents. Public Works provides curbside pickup of both municipal solid waste and recy-clables. Municipal solid waste is picked up weekly while recyclables are picked up twice a month.

“We couldn’t make it any easier,” he said.

Grenier said he is envisioning a major initiative that would include purchasing recycling containers for residents and an educational campaign. He said he thought it would require spending $20,000 to $30,000.

The council asked MacQueen to work with department heads to develop a proposal for the body to review before budget deliberations get underway next spring. Mayor Paul Grenier suggested Councilor Lucie Remillard work with the department heads on it and she agreed.

In other business:* Perreault reviewed the Public

Works snow plowing policy. The city has 65 miles of roads divided into ten plow routes. It takes the department four to six hours to do a first pass of the routes, depend-ing on traffic. Perreault and City Manager Patrick MacQueen noted

the city is very hilly and plows can only travel five to six miles per hour while plowing. After the storm is over, crew then pick up snow with top priority given to the downtown and around city schools.

When the storm first develops, the city puts down a layer of salt and sand. Perreault said the pur-pose is to prevent the snow from adhering to the road. He said the police department usually calls out the plow crews when patrols observe road conditions getting slippery.

Perreault said the recent snow storm caught the department shorthanded. He said he had work-ers on vacation and a couple out sick.

Councilor Tom McCue noted that despite budget cutbacks that have reduced the department’s staffi ng level, it does an excellent job. Mayor Paul Grenier agreed.

* The mayor and council decided on a modest inaugural ceremony for Monday, Jan. 16. Grenier noted he was not a fan of a big formal affair but said he did want to note the his-toric nature of the incoming council which will include four women. A simple ceremony will be held in the city hall auditorium with some light refreshments served. The council authorized the city clerk to spend up to $1,000 on the event.

* The council will not meet on Dec. 26 because of the Christmas holiday. It will, however, meet on Monday, Jan. 2.

Grover sizzles, Squirts remain undefeated 8-0-3

BERLIN -- The Berlin Saber Squirts utilized a pair of one goal home victories last weekend, ele-vating their record to 8-0-3 on the 2011 season, remaining unde-feated.

On Saturday, the Squirts hosted the Jr. Monarchs of Hooksett in what played out as one of the best games this year. The visiting team out shot the Sabers by 18 shots, peppering Berlin’s Curtis Grover to the tune of 41 shots.

The home team struck first on an unassisted goal by Austin Scarinza just one minute into the period. The visitors responded by netting the tying goal for a 1-1 score. Time was running out in the first period. Berlin’s Cameron Delisle found the back of the Monarch goal to give the locals a 2-1 advantage after one period of play. Berlin’s Grover was busy facing 12 shots to Berlin’s five shots on the visitor cage.

In the second period, the Sabers found themselves shorthanded on more than one occasion. Grover and his defensive teammates Ricky Lambert, Chet Johnston, Carter Richmond, and Broedy Gagnon kept the puck out of the Berlin goal.

Berlin’s Scarinza capitalized on an unassisted short-handed goal to push the home team to a two goal lead at 3-1. Grover faced 13 shots pushing his two period total to 25.

The third period saw the visitors make a comeback netting two goals and tying the score at 3. Berlin had several scoring opportunities by Ella Roberge, Dominick Paradis, and Andrew Martel.

Finally with four minutes left in the period, Paradis broke up a play in the Jr. Monarch’s end. Paradis moved the the puck to a waiting Delisle in front of the visitor’s goal.

Delisle located his scoring attempt top side, lighting the lamp for the eventual game winner at 4-3.

The opposition tried every angle and pulled their goalie for the extra man. However, Berlin survived the extra man and took the exciting 4-3 victory.

On Sunday, the locals faced off against the Northern Cyclones from Hudson. The period was only 50 seconds old, when Berlin’s Tyler Rousseau scored an unassisted goal for the 1-0 lead.

The Cyclones made the most of their scoring opportunities net-ting a pair of scores to lead 2-1 at the end of one period. The Berlin offense generated 15 shots on the Cyclone keeper. Berlin’s Grover faced six shots.

In the second period, Berlin’s Grover put on a goal tending clinic stopping 15 shots to keep his team in the contest.

Midway through the period, the home team got the big goal they were looking for. The Squirt’s Broedy Gagnon got a shot on net, that deflected to a waiting Haley Hamilton. Hamilton knocked the rebound home to knot the contest at 2-2. The goal was Hamilton’s first ever.

The goal put some life into the Berlin skaters. Minutes later, Del-isle rammed home the go ahead goal, ending the period at 3-2 Berlin.

In the third period, the visitors were relentless with their offensive attack. The southern NH squad pulled their goal tender with under a minute to play for the extra skater. However, it was not going to work and the Berlin Sabers skated away with the gut wrenching 3-2 victory. Finals shots on goal was 33 for the visitors and 29 for Berlin.
