GORHAM — On August 19, local representative William Hatch (D-Gorham) will have ear of the Obama administration, and he plans to use that opportunity to stress the importance of rural com-munity action programs. Hatch was invited to the White House for talks with the various members of the administrative staff that

day, and he said he believes he is one of about a dozen New Hamp-shire community leaders who have received invites for that occasion.

Hatch said that the invitation is so these delegates can comment on what’s happening in the commu-nity, what the people need, what’s working and what isn’t. He had no problem coming up with his talk-ing points, however, pointing to

Planning board approves site plan for thrift store

BERLIN -- The planning board Tues-day night gave site plan approval to a proposal for a thrift store on Pleasant Street.

Barbara and Tom Sweeney of Green-fi eld have purchased the property at 273 Pleasant Street and plan to open a thrift store on the fi rst fl oor of the building.

The store will sell household appli-ances, clothes, furniture, lamps, and other household items. In documents submit-ted to the board, Sweeney said merchan-dise will be acquired from throughout New England through yard sales, auc-tions, classifi ed ads, estate auctions, and other thrift stores.

The proposal came before the planning board at its July meeting and questions arose about on-site parking and snow removal. The plan was tabled to allow for a survey plan to be presented to the board.

City Planner Pamela Lafl amme said the survey had been submitted. The Sweeneys also reported they had decided

there would be no on-site parking for the public. Instead, the store will utilize on-street parking for customers. The pair said snow will be stored in the rear of the property.

Lafl amme said abutters Norm Thibodeau and André Belanger had con-tacted the city and indicated they had no problems with the Sweeneys’ plans.

The board approved the Sweeney’s site plan.

The Northern Forest Heritage Park received the planning board’s approval to increase its signage under the city’s land-mark signage clause. The park sought to add two more signs which would exceed the square footage allowed in a business general zone. Representing the park, Dick Huot said it is becoming an event destination with over 80 events staged there annually. He said the park is plan-ning to upgrade its boom pier sign which has faded over the years.

Lafl amme noted the planning board used the landmark clause several years ago when Androscoggin Valley Hospital

SAYWHAT...A sweetheart is a bottle of wine, a

wife is a wine bottle.”—Charles Baudelaire

(NY Times) — Boxed wine. It’s the epitome of déclassé, the vinous equiva-lent of trailer trash, the wine snob’s worst nightmare.

Despite the almost refl exive elevation of noses at the mention of boxed wines, one signifi cant detail undermines these smug dismissals: the idea of put-ting wine in a box, or more accurately, in a bag within a box, is brilliant. The packag-ing solves signifi cant prob-lems that have dogged wine for millennia, whether it was stored in urn, amphora, barrel, stone crock or bottle.

No matter how elegant or handy those containers may be, their fi xed volumes permit air to enter when wine is removed. Air attacks and degrades wine, making it imperative to drink up what remains, usually within no more than a few days.

The bag-in-a-box resolves this problem of oxidation by eliminating space for air to occupy. Wine can stay fresh for weeks once it has been opened. The boxed wines sold in the United States has been uniformly bad. Those in the wine trade have tried to explain this sad fact by citing an entrenched public per-ception of boxed wines as wretched. What’s the point of putting better wines in boxes if people won’t buy them?

Even so, some produc-ers are taking a chance that better wines would sell this way.

CAIRO (NY Times) — An ailing Hosni Mubarak, who served longer than any ruler of modern Egypt until he was overthrown in a revolution in Febru-ary, was rolled into a courtroom in a hospital bed on Wednesday to face formal charges of corruption and complicity in the killing of protesters. The televised trial was a seminal moment for Egypt and an Arab world roiled by revolt.

Even the most ardent in calling for his prosecu-tion doubted until hours before the trial began that Mr. Mubarak, 83, would appear in a cage fashioned of bars and wire mesh, a refl ection of the suspicion and unease that reigns in a country whose revolu-

tion remains unresolved. As a helicopter ferried him to the courtroom, housed in a police academy that once bore his name, cheers went up from a crowd gathered outside.

“The criminal is coming!” shouted Maged Wahba, a 40-year-old lawyer.

The sheer symbolism of the day, covered live by television and watched by millions, made it one of the most visceral episodes in the Arab world, where uprisings have shaken the rule of authoritarian leaders. In a region whose destiny was so long deter-mined by rulers who deemed their people unfi t to rule, one of those rulers was being tried by his public.

Mubarak trial a stark image of Arab upheaval

BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Ignoring mounting condemnations, the Syrian mil-itary deployed tanks, armored vehicles and snipers Wednes-day into the symbolic center of Hama, a rebellious city that has emerged as a linchpin of the nearly fi ve-month uprising, in what appeared a decisive step by President Bashar al-Assad to crush opposition to his rule.

The military’s assault on Assi Square, the scene of some of the biggest demonstrations against Assad marked a moment that many activists and residents had thought impossible: The govern-ment’s determination to retake by force a city that suffered one of the most brutal crackdowns in Syrian history in 1982.

But the government, whose calculations continue to mystify

its own people and run the risk of invigorating the uprising, seemed to view the momen-tum of demonstrations there that numbered in the hundreds of thousands last month as a threat to its survival. The criti-cal mass of the uprising there has spread to Deir al-Zour in restive eastern Syria, and together, the locales represent two of Syria’s fi ve largest cities.

Syria sends in tanks to storm center of Hama

GOP looks to rebuild Bush fund-raising machine(NY Times) — “None of the

candidates have instantly iden-tifi ed themselves as a leader for the Republican movement,” Al Hoffman Jr., a Florida real estate developer who was a co-chairman of George W. Bush’s presidential campaigns, said.

He is far from alone. Two and a half years after Bush left the White House, the formidable network of Republican donors he assembled has largely melted away. Fewer than one in fi ve of Bush’s Rang-ers and Pioneers, the elite corps of “bundlers” who helped Bush smash fund-raising records in his two runs for the White House, have contributed to any of the current Republican candidates, according to a New York Times analysis.

Their absence underscores the challenges facing the Republican Party in what could prove to be a protracted primary campaign fol-lowed by a hugely expensive gen-eral election matchup against an incumbent president.

Team Chester hitching up for Sunrise Ascent on Mount Washington

EATON — Ever-adventurous, Ches-ter Eastwood, 25, water skis, kayaks and hikes in summer, and in winter, he skis. Now, come early Sunday morning, Aug. 7, he is hoping to get to a place he's never been, the summit of Mount Washington.

On Aug. 7, four teams — including Eastwood's — will assemble at the base of the Mount Washington Auto Road at 5 a.m., determined to reach the 6,288-foot summit of the tallest mountain in the Northeast.

It's all part of a fund-raiser for Adap-tive Sports Partners of the North Country of Franconia.

What makes this trek special is that each team will include an adaptive athlete and 14 human "mules," who, using a Trailrider (TM), will help push and pull the participant up the eight miles to the summit.

Eastwood's team of “mules” is known as Team Chester.

“Chester is very excited. He's always up for any adventure, but this one is something he's really looking forward to,” said his mother, Kristin Burnell, who along with Willie Hatch, since March have leased the Eaton Village Store from the Eaton Village Preserva-tion Society.

The store is currently conducting a raffl e ticket fund-raiser as part of this Sunday's ascent. Home Depot donated a grill, with the winner's name to be drawn on the summit Sunday after the ascent, according to Burnell.

“We've sold 500 so far. Tickets are $2 each or three for $5,” she said Monday.

Other support can be given through Firstgiving.com at www.f i r s t g i v i n g . c o m / f u n d r a i s e r /teamchester2011/2011-samw-team-chester.

Eastood was born with cerebral palsy. He has a limited vocabulary, and uses a communication device.

He is known among regulars at the Eaton Village Store for his big smile and upbeat spirit.

“He's never been to the top of Mount Washington — and neither have I, for that matter. But this is something he has wanted to do,” said Burnell.

She said Eastwood learned to ski at Sunday River through its adaptive program when he was 8.

He competes in the New Hampshire Special Olympics in track and fi eld in summer and in skiing events in winter.

He stays active with Adaptive Sports Partners of the North Country.

“He waterskis, plays wheelchair soccer, camps. Through the group, he even got to the top of Mount Willard,” said Burnell.

Like Eastwood, each of the partici-pants in Sunday's Sunrise Ascent on Mount Washington are “amazing ath-letes,” according to the group's execu-tive director, Sandy Olney, now of

Easton and formerly of North Conway.She said all four share a love of the

outdoors and a determination to be as active as possible, regardless their severe mobility impairments.

These impairments range from cerebral palsy in Eastwood's case, to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease and cerebral dysgenesis, the improper development of the brain.

"All four of our participants are an inspiration to me and to anyone with a challenging condition," says Olney. "Each one has been with our program for a while, skiing with us in the winter, hiking, biking, and kayaking in the summer." She added, "We plan activi-ties to suit the desires of our clients."

The idea for Sunrise Ascent on Mount Washington arose from such interest, Olney said.

Adaptive Sports Partners of the North Country is a year-round, non-profi t charitable organization that facilitates sport and recreation oppor-tunities for people with physical or intellectual disabilities.

It presently serves individuals in northern Grafton, Carroll and Coos counties in New Hampshire, and East-ern Caledonia and Essex in Vermont.

Since its creation in 2009, the organi-zation has relied on the support of over 50 volunteers for the provision of ser-vices and fi nancial support from busi-nesses, foundations and individuals to help with operating expenses and the purchase of adaptive equipment.

The Sunrise Ascent on Mount Wash-ington is its summer fund-raiser.

"The response to Sunrise Ascent on Mount Washington has been tremen-dous," says Olney. "We have had so much interest from volunteers wish-ing to be mules we now have a waiting list."

She was quick to add, however, "There are many other ways to be involved in this event." Still needed are "roadrunners" to drive up the auto road and celebrate with the teams as they reach the summit, and then transport them down and back to their cars. "Angels" can help by spreading the word and adding their support wherever needed.

There has also been generous local business support. Mule team spon-sors include the Alpine Clinic, Pain-Care, Franconia Notch Vacations, and Cole Construction. Other corporate support has come from the Passump-sic Savings Bank, Promis Prosthetic and Orthotic Services, Connecticut River Bank, VanDesign and of course the Mount Washington Auto Road and Great Glen Trails.

If you are interesting in participat-ing, or would like more information on Sunrise Ascent on Mount Washington, call the Adaptive Sports Partners of the North Country headquarters in Franconia at 823-5232. Rain date for the event is Sunday, Aug.14.

Hello fellow Berlinites. How well can you recall some of the events that took place in Berlin forty-fi ve years ago? Unless they were traumatic or personal, these dates can evade you. I would like to refresh my readers about some of the affairs and history of this city in 1966.

During the second weekend of January 1966, Berlin’s post offi ce made its move from Main and Mason Streets to the corner of Pleasant and Mt. Forist Streets. On Monday January 10, Berlin citizens had to change where they had been doing their postal busi-ness since 1918.

All of this had to be accomplished so that the mail could continue without a hitch. It was a problem of logistics that was fi gured out by Rene Heroux, Berlin’s postmaster back then.

As soon as the carriers left on their rounds Saturday, January 8, all of their equipment was shifted to the new building and was ready for them by late afternoon.

The next day, the rest of the equipment went on trucks and by Monday’s opening; everything was in order for Berlin’s citizens to do their business as usual. How many people remember this day?

On January 12, 1966, twenty fi ve men were thrown out of work for at least two weeks, because of a fi re at the White Mountain Lumber Company. The Wednesday morning blaze destroyed equip-ment which draws saw-dust and shavings from the mill and blew them to piles across the street.

Co-owner and general manager Arthur Napert estimated the damage to be in the vicinity of $10,000, as the fi re was contained to the blower equipment outside of the sawmill.

Much of the mill operations could not be carried on without this system, as the saw-dust and shavings accumulated rapidly. Much of the planning that was done in Berlin had to be sent out to the Davis Lumber Com-pany in Bethel, Maine. Any planning that was done in Berlin had to have the sawdust and chips shoveled away at a fast rate.

Napert, who was in partnership with Emmet Kelley, praised the quick and effi cient work of his own employees and that of the Berlin Fire Department. He said that the fi re started minutes after the blower equipment was put into operation for the day’s work. Employees used extinguishers on the blaze while the BFD made their two mile run to the scene of the fi re. Despite the high wind and the below zero temperatures, the fi re fi ghters kept the blaze away from the main section and equipment of the mill.

A sad accident claimed the life of a Berlin woodsman during the month of January 1966. Mr. Alfred Mercier of 121 Main Street was killed by a horse while working in the woods near Bethel, Maine. The local coroner ruled that the Berlin man had been kicked in the face by a horse and died instantly of broken neck.

Mercier’s body was discovered by a co worker named Samuel Downes, who was also from Berlin. Mr. Mercier was survived by his wife, two sons and one daughter.

An article in the local newspaper of Janu-ary 1966 reported that the NHIAA Hockey Committee voted to move the state high school tournaments out of the “Paper City”. Berlin’s title as the state’s hockey capital was going to change in 1967 and almost changed in 1966.

The NHIAA committee reversed a motion to move the schoolboy tournament to South-ern New Hampshire for the winter of 1966. It was also recommended that future cham-pionships be played on artifi cial ice, which Berlin did not yet have.

Berlin had been the site of the state hockey championships since 1947 and until recently, many other major tournaments were held at the Notre Dame Arena. By 1966, the trend was now towards areas with artifi cial ice.

The motion to move the tournament out of Berlin was made by Russell Martin of Con-cord. Martin was a telephone employee, who was also president of the corporation that built the Everett Arena in that city.

One of the arguments for moving the tour-naments to artifi cial ice was to permit play-ing games closer to the dates of the New England Tournament. This tournament was always held in the third week of March and the state tournament was held near the end of February. February dates had always been set to insure good conditions for natural ice.

Members of the NHIAA Hockey Committee had predicted that 20 new high school teams would be playing hockey by the early 1970’s. With this, the last state high school tourna-ment was held at the Notre Dame Arena in Berlin during February of 1966.

The following year, the state championship hockey game was held at the Snively Arena in Durham, New Hampshire; thus bringing these tournaments to the southern part of New Hampshire and that is how it has been since.

In early February of 1966, three local girls were vying for the title of queen of the Nansen Invitational Ski Jumping Meet and the Berlin Winter Carnival, which was held on February 25, 26 and 27 of this year.

The picture that accompanies this story shows the three contestants. From left to right are : Claire Lamontagne, sponsored by the Rotary Club; Elaine Labonville, spon-sored by the North Country C-Bees Club and Nancy Repucci, sponsored by the Lions Club. The winner was Miss Repucci. I wonder where these ladies are today.

Berlin and Coos Historical Society holding barn/yard sale Saturday, August 6

To the editor:Ray has really done it this

time! He has been rummag-ing around the back of the barn and has pulled all the albums out of storage.

There are some 45s and a few cassettes, but mostly these are 33s aka LPs. Any 78s you fi nd are free! There is even a stack of album covers that are perfect for decorating.

This fund-raising yard sale, being held by the Berlin & Coos County Historical Society, will take place Sat-urday, August 6. As always, it goes on rain or shine from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the his-toric Brown Company barns on the East Milan Road in Berlin, across from the state prison entrance.

The historical society is also looking for times to continue these great sales.

Anyone having articles to donate can drop them off at the barn on the day of the sale, bring them to the Mof-fett House Museum at 119 High Street in Berlin, or call 603-752-4590 for a pick-up.

Proceeds from these yard sales go towards the pur-chase of heating oil to keep the Moffett House Museum & Genealogy Center open year round and for the continued preservation of the barns. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sat-urday, noon to 4: p.m. or by appointment. View thou-sand of photographs, check out the restored doctor’s offi ce, or let us help you look-up your family geneal-ogy.

See you at the yard sale!Jacklyn NadeauBerlin & Coos Historical Society

I am very appreciative of this honorTo the editor:It is with gratitude that

I express my thanks to the Mayor Paul Grenier, the Berlin City Council and all the members of Berlin’s administrative staff who participated in naming the Berlin botanical garden the Laura Lee Viger Community Garden. I can hardly believe that you would choose to honor me in this way. I loved my career and gath-ered great pleasure over the many years that I worked for the city. I am adjusting to retirement, but certainly do miss my work, coworkers and many people I worked

with. Will O’Brien and the mem-

bers of the Community Ser-vices Center and the Coos County Botanical Garden Club have worked diligently to make the Laura Lee Viger Community Garden a gardening showcase. They deserve the credit for making this botanical spot a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful fl owers. If you have never visited these beautiful gardens you should visit and enjoy the park soon.

Thank you again for this wonderful honor.

Finally, the race for mayor of this city in 1966 was quickly picking up the pace. The battle lines were drawn for Berlin’s caucuses and for the fi rst time in many years, both the Demo-crats and the Republicans had politi-cal fi ghts going on for the top place on their tickets.

Three tried and true politicians and one political novice were in the fray. The Democrats had acting Mayor Dennis Kilbride and former Mayor Laurier “Loggy” Lamontagne. On the Republican side stood Council-man Donald Borchers and Norman Tremaine. It was Tremaine who was taking his fi rst fl ing at politics.

When the caucuses were complete, it was Lamontagne versus Tremaine on election day in the beginning of March.

The winner of this close election was fi rst time runner Norman Tremaine, who edged out Lamontagne by a mere 104 votes to take Berlin’s top political post. For the latter, it was his third bid to regain the offi ce that he had held for four years.

I will continue with the history of Berlin in 1966 with my next writing.

Solar to hold book signingBERLIN - Author Susan Howard

Solar of Dummer will be on hand to sign copies of her latest book, “Mur-derous Magnolias”, on Thursday August 11, from 3 to 7 p.m. at SaVoir Flare, 52 Main St.,Berlin.

Those wishing to call ahead and reserve a copy for pickup that day or later will receive a free gift with the book. Call 752-3930 or 449-2210

Also, in aid of the Brown School Playground Fund, since the author’s children previously attended Brown School, $2 from each book purchased by parents, teachers or grandpar-ents of Brown School students will be donated to the fundraising effort.

“Murderous Magnolias” is the third book in the Four Season Mystery series once again featuring quirky

characters and best friends, Wendy and Amie, whose travels always seem to lead them to murder. The two ear-lier books in the series, “Lethal Leaf Peepers” and “Sinister Snowbirds” are also available for purchase. Although a series, each “cozy” murder mystery can be fully enjoyed independently of the others.

Solar is a graduate of Rowan Uni-versity and a former Berlin school-teacher.

Most recently she was the winner of the area’s Literary Flash competition, sponsored by the N.H. Writer’s Proj-ect held during July’s Book Fair Day at Heritage Park. As the local winner, Solar has been invited to compete with other state winners in March of 2012 in Manchester.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You would rather make an error because you didn’t yet have all of the information than make an error because you didn’t utilize the information you already had. Be thorough. Use a checklist. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your aim is ambitious. That is what makes it so compelling to you and others. So don’t let the odds diminish you. This is possible. Someone will win at this, and it could be you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Are you growing or merely coping? You make so much happen in a day (and so much happens to you, as well) that you can’t help but wonder when the sun is setting how it’s all adding up. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You realize that everyone needs something, and you are quick to fi gure out how people can help each other. You may not be able to solve your own problem, but you’ll solve someone else’s. The karma will come full circle later. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When there is much evidence to support a cer-tain theory, something called “diag-nosis momentum” can happen, and it becomes diffi cult to reach any conclu-sion other than the obvious one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Resist the urge to make a big deal about your mistakes. It will make a funny story later, but it’s too soon for all of that. Here’s a motto to live by under the current stars: Gloss over and move on. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your love life doesn’t have to be a roller coaster or even an elevator. Today proves that it can be a walk in the park -- an even, predictable and lovely excursion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will be focused on the basics -- like health, well-being and personal secu-rity. Finances come into the equation, as well. You’ll fi nd peace in doing a quick inventory. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The one who has your heart often con-trols your schedule, too. Sometimes it’s very diffi cult to look that person in the face and tell him no. But you may have to do exactly that today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Love and belonging will feel more important than usual to you now, and rightly so. Feeling like you are a part of the group will help you develop your skills and talents. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). All facts seem to point to the same con-clusion. But that doesn’t make the conclusion correct. Look at each fact separately to get a more accurate view. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your needs may seem well defi ned because you know exactly what they are. How-ever, a loved one is still baffl ed. If you want to be fulfi lled, you’ll have to spell it out. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 4). You’ll answer a call this month, and as a result, a relationship takes a leap for-ward. Dealing with men in general will be a forte of yours, and you’ll bond for fun and profi t in September. You’ll solve a mystery in November. In January and May, you’ll have much to celebrate with a loved one. You’ll win a contest in June. Gemini and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 46, 3, 14, 39 and 11.

DEAR ABBY: This is embarrassing to say, but yesterday my sister wanted to go tanning, so our neighbor’s father took us. After she got out of the car, he started to touch me inap-propriately and say nasty things. I told him to stop and that I didn’t like it, but he kept on. Should I tell the police? Or my old social worker? I don’t know what to do. My sister and I stay home a lot because our parents work, and I’m afraid he’ll do something worse. Please don’t print my name or location. I don’t want my parents to know just yet. I’m 20 and don’t know how the law works for this type of assault. This is considered an as-sault, right? Please answer soon. -- SCARED ON THE EAST COAST DEAR SCARED: NO ONE has the right to put his hands on you without your permission! While what your neigh-bor’s father did may not have been an assault, it could be considered sexual battery. You should defi nitely inform your social worker right away. A man who would do this to you is completely capable of doing it to a minor. Your social worker will know how to handle the details. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend was laid off 11 months ago and hasn’t been able to fi nd another job since. My problem is, he isn’t seriously looking for one. Every time I suggest he get one he becomes angry, or if I suggest a specifi c job he gives me some reason why he won’t take it -- such as the pay is too low. He has no college education and no other formal schooling. What does he expect? I love him, and other than this our relationship is pretty

great. But lately this is causing a major strain because I want more for him. I hold two jobs and will be continuing my B.S. in psychology next year. I have tried being nice, being rude, and discussing it with him. He just doesn’t “get” that I’m los-ing respect for the man I once admired. How can I make him see he needs to do more with his life than collect unemploy-ment? -- STRIVING HIGHER IN CALIFORNIA DEAR STRIVING HIGHER: With today’s job market what it is, it’s possible that without further training your boyfriend may not be able to fi nd another job that offers the same wages and/or benefi ts as the one he lost. Remind him that his unem-ployment benefi ts are fi nite -- they’re not going to last forever. He needs to understand that when that happens, you are not going to support him. He may be depressed, but the longer he sits around, the longer it’ll take him to become motivated. Even if he can’t fi nd work right now, he can seek further job training. He can also do volunteer work, which would get him out and circulating and help him to make more contacts that could lead to permanent employment. DEAR ABBY: Let’s say you made arrangements with a friend and then forgot about them, so you made other ar-rangements with someone else. When you discover your mis-take, should you honor the fi rst commitment? -- NEEDS AN ANSWER SOON DEAR NEEDS AN ANSWER: Yes, you should. To cancel the original plans would be rude. And when you make other arrangements with the “someone else,” you should apologize and explain that you had previous plans.

FULLY INSURED

20 year involvement with the Tri-County Community Action Program (CAP), an organization that serves Carroll, Grafton and Coos Coun-ties, and the possibility that federal budget cuts could seriously threaten that organization’s existence. “I think it’s important to talk about what community action programs do and their importance in rural set-tings,” Hatch said.

He explained that although he does not have an itinerary yet, he believes that his day long session at the White House will include talks with administration personnel that oversee a variety of functions — “just the full gamut.”

Hatch noted that one of the key funding issues for him is the Com-munity Development Block Grant (CDBG) — a mainstay of community action funding. He explained that the CDBG was established in 1964 by Lyndon Johnson as part of the war on poverty. To this end, he said, Tri-County CAP and the other com-munity actions around the nation — private non-profi t groups that receive subsidies in the form of the CDBGs — have a primary function of addressing the needs created by poverty. A charge the agency takes seriously, Hatch said, “that’s our pri-mary objective...to bring people to some state of self-suffi ciency.”

Self-suffi ciency has happened locally, Hatch explained, citing the example of a woman in Littleton who has a vision impairment. He said that due to her impairment she is unable to drive and for many years this kept her out of work. The Tri-County CAP Transit Tri-Town Bus that runs in Littleton, White-fi eld and Lancaster changed life for

her, however, and allowed her to fi nd a job in Lancaster, where she now works to provide for her children.

He also pointed out that the alco-hol and other drug services offered by Tri-County CAP assist addicts in become self-suffi cient. Hatch said that in many cases addicts are engaging in illegal activity or not able to hold steady employment. By helping them regain and retain sobriety, CAP is helping them turn things around and become assets to the community. “There’s virtually hundreds of cases like that,” he said.

Under the Tri-County CAP umbrella in the three northern counties there are 66 separate pro-grams, employing 335 people, enlist-ing more than 1,100 volunteers and providing aid to more than 44,000 NH residents annually, according to the group’s fact sheet. Tri-County CAP has spent 50 years building its service infrastructure in the North Country and operates with indirect (administrative) costs of less than 10 percent of their total budget, Hatch said. (According to a Rand Corpo-ration report, “Indirect costs are costs for activities that benefi t more than one project,” in a non-profi t.) Additionally, the Tri-County CAP Weatherization project was ground-breaking as it served as a national model for other CAPs, he noted.

Hatch explained that many of the programs under the CAP adminis-tration started as independent non-profi ts but when their funding dried up, the need remained and cost sav-ings was achieved by an absorption of their mission into the already existing structure of Tri-County CAP. By acting as the administrative agency for so many programs, CAP is “in a better position to serve the

HATCH from page one full needs of the individual,” Hatch said, noting that many people who utilize CAP services have needs that stretch across the agency’s offerings.

The concern about funding cuts at the national level are really what is driving Hatch to bring his concern to Washington. He said that he doesn’t buy the argument that if the federal money to support this needed pro-gram dries up the gap will be fi lled by private entities, churches and other charitable agencies. So many of the services provided by CAP are specialized and require trained professionals that the cost can be prohibitive and, as was previously the case, many of the services have proven to be fi nancially unviable as independent non-profi ts.

The loss of the services could in some cases, result in increased tax-payer costs, he said, noting that the Alzheimer’s Respite program provides a break for caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients, which allows these people to stay in their homes. Without this service, he said, many more of these patients would end up in the county nursing facilities at the expense of taxpayers. The respite is provided by specially trained pro-fessionals but is far less costly than

institutional care, Hatch said.“I truly intend to spend some

time...to express this need,” he said.In addition to bringing his own

feelings on the matter to the White House, Hatch is soliciting letters from local governments on what they see as the benefi ts and impacts of the community action programs. The Gorham selectmen agreed to craft a letter at their last meeting and Hatch anxious to hear from others.

Terry Oliver, chairman of the Gorham board of selectmen, said that his board felt is was impor-tant to send a letter because of the burden Tri-County CAP takes off of the towns and cities for the various public welfare services they provide. If not for CAP the town would be responsible for many of these ser-vices, he said. “It would cost us a lot of money if they weren’t around. We just can’t afford not to have them,” Oliver said.

Hatch said he is also happy to speak to any other need people feel should be brought to Washington’s attention during his visit.

Hatch can be reached in Concord at 271-3143, or at home in Gorham at 466-9491.

BERLIN -- The family of Berlin native and hockey legend, Barney “The Rocket” LaRoche, celebrated his 95th birthday at his home on Sunday July 10. Guests at the party were his three children, Francis, Lucy and Roxy and their children and great-grand-children; his 88 year old brother, Gene, and nephew Leo and close friends, Joe and Carol Dorval.

Barney “Papa” has seen many changes in Berlin over the years. Over his lifetime he has gone as a child with no TV to most recently getting a new fl at screen with HD so that he can watch his favorite sports channels and even see the hockey puck cross the ice. He ran a very prominent business in Berlin for many years. He ran a Chevron Station, fi rst starting in a little building not much bigger than an ice fi shing hut, and when Chevron built him a full service station he became one of the locals’ favorite places to get their gas. He was one of the fi rst places in Berlin to give out S&H Green Stamps which was the rage of the time.

Today, he is living in the same home he and his wife Eleanor “Tootsie” bought over 50 years ago. These days he tends to his garden in the summer, builds puzzles with his cat Jeeter by his side in the winter. He has always been an avid sports fan and even though to us it would be annoying, he always has the TV on, fl ipping back and forth to catch the score of whatever games were on while listening to a game on the radio.
