Gorham student heading to national welding competition

BERLIN— For the second year in a row, a student from the Berlin Career and Tech-nical Education welding program took the top spot in the statewide Skills USA com-petition.

Brice Corrigan, of Gorham High School, won the statewide competition and will move on to the national Skills USA compe-tition, in Kansas City, Mo., in June. This is the second year in a row a welding student from the area has gone on to the national Skills USA challenge.

Two other Berlin students competed in the statewide challenge.

Tom Rozek took second place and Shawn Bunnell placed ninth.

“[They] made me very proud,” said Dennis Carrier, B.H.S. welding instructor.

Carrier said all three students are equal in talent, but the competition is intense.

“It was pretty nerve-wracking,” said Cor-rigan.

He said he needed to weld a bunch of small projects during the competition. He added the gas metal arc welding (G.M.A.W.) was the most diffi cult.

Carrier said there’s also a written exam that’s part of the statewide competition. He added that Corrigan, Rozek and Bunnell all did outstanding on the written exam.

Corrigan fi nished six points ahead of Rozek for fi rst place, and Rozek fi nished 10 points ahead of the third place winner.

Hiker injured on Mt. WashingtonPINKHAM’S GRANT— The U.S. Forest

Service Monday rescued a man off the Lion Head Trail after he fell during his descent from Mount Washington.

While hiking with a group of people a man, who the U.S. Forest Service didn’t have any identifying information about, slipped, fell and collided with a tree during his descent from Mount Washington along the Lion Head Trail, according to Justin Preisendorfer, a snow ranger for the forest

service. The man was believed to have suffered injuries to his upper leg and hip, though the U.S. Forest Service wasn’t sure of the full diagnosis.

Preisendorfer said he’s not sure what caused the man’s fall.

After the fall, other members of his hiking party called 911, at 10:40 a.m., and went to a fi rst aid cache on the trail to start delivering care before authorities arrived, said Preisendorfer.

Timberland Owners observe 100th in Berlin

BERLIN—On March 30, 100 years after its founding at the Mt. Madison Hotel in Gorham, the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association celebrated its centennial at the Brown House on Main Street, observing that W. R. Brown of the Berlin’s Brown Co., was a moving force in the establishment of the organi-zation in 1910.

In honor of the centennial, the association presented the North-ern Forest Heritage Park with a handsome plaque, created by “Gov. John Lynch’s offi cial sculp-tor,” Andre Belanger, as NHTOA executive director Jasen Stock put it at the unveiling of the plaque.

The plaque observes: “in com-memoration of the founding of NHTOA and its original orga-nizing meeting, called by W.R. Brown and held March 30, 1911, in Gorham, New Hampshire, and in recognition of NHTOA members and their 100 years of supporting the New Hampshire working forest.”

Among the several speakers to the small group gathered for

the occasion, Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier offered greetings from the city, congratulations to the association, and thanks for the association’s years of positive impact in Coos County. He noted that the population of Berlin was about back to where it was 100 years ago.

Further, Grenier urged the association to help with the speedy approval and construc-tion of the Laidlaw Berlin Bio-power facility and noted that, in his view, there should be “a moratorium on the continued acquisition of working forest lands in Coos County by the federal government. . . . Outside environmental groups have a disproportionate infl uence on the proper management of these lands through the legal processes afforded to them by law. In many cases, they are simply delay tac-tics and cost everyone….”

In conclusion, Grenier wished the association “another success-ful hundred years.”

In the line-up of speakers, N. H. State Forester Brad Simpkins and retired U.S. White Mountain National Forest Forest Service

SAYWHAT...An atheist is a man who believes

himself an accident.”—Francis Thompson

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Every other Wednesday, right after school at 2:45, the newest club at Rutherford High, the atheist club, meets in Room 13-211.

Last Wednesday, Jim Dickey, the president, started out by asking his fellow student atheists (there are a few agnostics, too) whether they wanted to put together an all-atheist Ultimate Frisbee team for a charity event.

Club members dis-cussed what to do about Faith Week. Rutherford High’s two Christian clubs will be sponsoring a series of before-school prayer circles around the fl agpole this week, and several of the atheists felt a need to respond in some way.

“We can set up infor-mational tables near the fl agpole and do our own speeches,” said Michael Creamer, the atheists’ faculty adviser, who sug-gested waiting a few weeks. “Remember, we’re not trying to be confrontational; this will be a counterpoint.”

The Christians and athe-ists at Rutherford High get along better than some might expect. Joshua Mercer, a senior, who is president of Ignite, a Chris-tian club, and Jim, the atheist president, are close friends. They love compar-ing philosophies, and giving each other a hard time. “We like to go to Taco Bell together,” Joshua said.

(NY Times) — Federal aviation authorities said on Monday that they would order airlines to inspect some early Boeing 737 models after Southwest Airlines found subsurface cracks in three aircraft during checks that were conducted after a fi ve-foot hole ripped through the roof of a 737-300 jetliner on Friday.

The Federal Aviation Administration said that it would issue an emergency directive on Tues-day requiring inspections for fatigue damage. The action would initially apply to about 175 aircraft

worldwide, 80 of which are registered in the United States, and mostly operated by Southwest Airlines.

“Safety is our No. 1 priority,” the Transportation secretary, Ray LaHood, said in a statement. “Last Friday’s incident was very serious and could result in additional action depending on the outcome of the investigation.”

The statement came shortly after Boeing said it was preparing a service bulletin that would recom-mend “lap-joint” inspections on certain 737-300’s as well as the 737-400 and 737-500 models.

FAA to order airlines to inspect 737s for cracks

TOKYO (NY Times) — Tokyo Electric Power Company began dumping more than 11,000 tons of radioactive water into the Pacifi c Ocean from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant on Monday, mostly to make room in storage contain-ers for increasing amounts of far more contaminated runoff.

The water, most of it to be released over two days, con-tains about 100 times the legal limit of radiation, Tokyo

Electric said. The more con-taminated water has about 10,000 times the legal limit.

The effort would help workers clearing radioactive water from the turbine buildings at the dam-aged reactors, making it less dan-gerous to reach some of the most crucial controls for their cooling systems, which were knocked out by the 9.0 magnitude earth-quake and tsunami that struck northeast Japan on March 11. The hopes are that the cooling

systems can be revived and bring the plant back under control.

But the pumping effort is not expected to halt, or even alter, the gushing leak from a large crack in a six-foot-deep pit next to the seawater intake pipes near Reactor No. 2. The leak, discovered Saturday, has been spewing an estimated seven tons of highly radioactive water an hour directly into the ocean; attempts to trace and plug it have so far failed.

Rebel leader criticizes NATO effort in Libya

BREGA, Libya (NY Times) — As rebel fi ghters made modest gains on Monday against the main body of Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi ’s forces in the oil town of Brega, a senior rebel leader criticized NATO for bureaucratic delays that he said put civilian lives at risk and complicated efforts to advance against the Qaddafi forces.

“There’s a delay in reacting and lack of response to what’s going on on the ground, and many civil-ians have died and they couldn’t react to protect them,” the offi cial, Ali al-Essawi, the foreign policy director of the National Transi-tional Council, said in an inter-view on Monday in Rome.

Mr. Essawi said the prob-lems began after NATO took charge of the air campaign from the United States, Britain and France, and that he now foresaw a long, drawn-out battle with NATO at the helm. “They took the command, they will make it long,” he said in an interview at the Community of Sant’Egidio, a liberal Catholic group active in diplomacy.

To the editor:It’s true. I am personally

against imposing a 3 Point Antler Restriction in WMU A (Wildlife Management Unit A). To be totally honest, I’m not in favor of BASM (Buck Age Structure Man-agement) being imposed in any WMU. But, for the sake of this discussion, let’s stick to WMU A. There are two principle reasons (although I do have others) why I oppose this management scheme. Number 1 - it’s unnecessary, and Number 2 - it’s unpopu-lar.

I believe this proposal is based on fl awed logic. First let’s evaluate why I believe imposing a 3 Point Antler Restriction is unnecessary. I’ll use the same numbers proponents use in support-ing it, to prove otherwise.

Those who are supporting a 3 point antler restriction argue that it is necessary because the herd has “real age structure problems”. They state that the ratio of yearling bucks to total bucks in WMU A is grossly out of balance, and that yearling bucks are being harvested at a nearly 3 to 1 ratio over mature bucks. Killing too many yearling bucks there-fore is hampering the ratio of mature bucks in subse-quent years. It sounds dire. Fortunately, it’s not true. The proof is in the just published 2010 NH Wildlife Harvest Summary. You need to study these numbers. In particu-lar, study page 12 and 13.

Proponents of this “3 point rule” state that the yearling buck harvest is dispropor-

tionately high in WMU A and therefore needs to be protected to allow for more mature bucks. But where do they come up with these numbers? Yearling buck data cannot be collected by analyzing deer registration slips. That information is not collected. The only way this information can be gained is by having a biolo-gist inspect the animal. And do you know that only eigh-teen deer were inspected out of WMU A in 2010? Eigh-teen (18) is the number in parenthesis under WMU A on page 13.

Eighteen deer. Eighteen deer out of a total of 324 bucks registered in WMU A - a 5.5% sample size. Out of that 18 deer, 13 were found to be yearling bucks. And do you know that only nine-teen were inspected in 2009? These are the numbers pro-ponents “hang their hat on” when defending their posi-tion that a “problem” exists in the age structure of the WMU A deer herd. Again, 18 deer out of 324 total bucks registered. These numbers are statistically insignifi cant and misleading.

Wildlife biologists inspected 18 deer during the beginning of the season, and found that 13 out of 18 were yearling bucks. Technically, 13 out of 18 bucks equates to 72.2%. Stating that 72.2% of the bucks taken out of WMU A are yearling bucks makes a scary “doom and gloom” argument that a “real problem” exists in WMU A. There is only one problem.

see FACTS page 5

What you do with the facts is up to you

This is fund-raising season on Public Television, and Sunday evening brought music by Peter Yarrow and Paul Stooky of Peter, Paul, and Mary fame.

Peter Yarrow had been on the staff of the summer camp that moved into Gray’s Inn, a mammoth pile of ornate carpentry near the in-town end of the covered bridge in Jackson and was another relic of a by-gone age that had been one of the essential stops on a tour of White Mountain lodgings. That tour itself was well-understood, in fact, it was almost a ritual and everyone knew how to do it. For instance, tourists could start in Jackson and drive north through Pinkham Notch, turn west in Gorham to Jefferson, then south through Crawford Notch to Jackson.

This was said to be 100 miles and it sus-tained the fi rst marketing slogan that I ever heard. It was “A Hotel Per Mile” and, setting aside the small grammatical error, it assured travelers that fi nding lodgings in the White Mountains would not be a prob-lem, they were everywhere. There probably weren’t actually that many hotels, but it did seem that way and that was close enough as marketing slogans go.

That gilded age was ended by two changes in American life. When our forebears thought about travel, they thought about trains, and I’ve been told that in the age of the great hotels, thirty-four trains went through Crawford Notch in every 24-hour day. The managers were so attentive to the needs of their passengers that when hikers in Boston headed north, they could tell the conductor what trail they planned to take and he’d stop the train at its clos-est point to their trail. Not only that, but if they fi nished the hike there a southbound train would pick them up, and hikers stay-ing in a hotel could depend on a local man to meet them. In Jackson this was usually Ed Moody with a carriage in summer and a sleigh in winter with bearskin robes to keep out the cold.

Not all of those hundred hotels were on the grand scale of Gray’s Inn and Went-worth Hall in Jackson. For instance, when Ed and Ada Moody were thriving there, they’d accommodate summer farm workers in their own house, then rent those rooms for a curious addition to the winter econ-omy, what were identifi ed in the literature as “ski-ers” who learned that the logging roads and farmers’ fi elds of summer in that hilly town could also sustain a winter crop.

Those days were ended by two closely-related factors. One was the appearance of automobiles that were reliable enough and warm enough for longer winter trips than a run to the grocery store, and people began to take road trips on their vacations and keep moving rather than take the train and stay put at the other end. The other factor was the change in winter roads. In the north country, many of them were rolled for horse and sleigh travel, then plows made them more generally passable.

Gray’s Inn survived the passing of huge summer hotels by reinventing itself as a summer camp, though it was hardly in the tradition of the slightly self-conscious rus-tications that most people would bring to mind when they thought “summer camp.” It drew it’s numbers from apparently

well-heeled city dwellers and there were no tents and no evening camp fi res, just a large ornate lobby and brocaded chairs and a great many superannuated guest rooms crowned by a tower that glowed with a night-time necklace of yellow lights and, it was rumored, a fairly serious gambling casino.

This rather improbable summer camp grew out of yet another emerging enthu-siasm in America, the coffee shop culture of the 1960s. These could be hangouts for tattered hippies trying to get through yet another season without earning a living and also for serious musicians who were riding the wave of the folk music revival.

One of the most successful of these groups caught the public ear with a song about Charlie, a Boston commuter who got on a Boston MTA trolley in Kendall Square and couldn’t get off until the end of the line in Roxbury. There were four members of this group, then one of them left to take a real job and the remaining three wondered if there was a living to be made in this business. They needed a name, so they tried to think of a place that was warm and sunny and well-known to well-heeled people. They chose the capitol city of a Caribbean Island called Kings-ton.

The original four singers began their musical life in a San Francisco coffee shop called the Hungry i and the one who left the group took a chance with several East Coast fellows. This reduced the group to three, thus the Kingston Trio. The defec-tor joined another trio, they were all 27 years old, and they wanted to start a col-lege in New Hampshire.

Pictures of the full flowering of Gray’s Inn can be seen in the lobby of the Jack-son post office, but by 1966, Jackson’s former huge summer hotel sheltered a summer camp that included one of the opening gestures of the folk music revival that was blooming in the coffee shops of American cities. This was Peter Yarrow and he was the “folk music counselor” at what had so recently been Gray’s Inn.

The 100-mile drive around the moun-tains survives, of course, and it also served as a standard in my travels. No matter where I was in my far-flung trips around North America and Europe, I knew what 100 miles meant, it was wired into my cognitive map of the world. Then one day I wondered if it was actually 100 miles, so I zeroed the odometer in my car and made the celebrated drive around the mountains. It was 86 miles.

By then I’d become one of those 27-year-olds that included the ex-Kingston singer and we started a college that went on to globe-circling success. I survived the life-changing news about the celebrated 100 miles turned 86, and my habits of music that were accelerated by playing with Peter Yarrow at the Gray’s Inn camp for over-privileged children led to an appear-ance at the Newport Folk Festival, six records, the best of which has just been re-issued, and hundreds of gigs playing for dances. Gray’s Inn, sadly, gave way to an asphalt parking lot.

It’s not true. To get a more accurate assessment let’s look at all the num-bers, not just a statistical blip on the radar screen.

Take a look at page 13 more closely. In 2007, 2008, and 2009 the yearling buck ratio was around 25% in WMU A. Or put another way, 75% of the bucks were 2+ years old. I know that 2008 and 2009 had a 2 point rule and that would have depressed the year-ling buck kill. But under the current philosophy, shouldn’t that have lead to a larger mature buck harvest in 2010? Apparently it didn’t. That just shows the numbers are not always reliable. The winter of 2007 was severe. 2008 wasn’t much better. Did the numbers for 2008 and 2009, with a high ratio of mature bucks, refl ect a healthy herd of mature bucks, or a herd lack-ing yearlings from mortality during the previous winter? My vote goes to winter kill.

But let’s say the numbers are right. The numbers say that, through 2009, a majority of the bucks in the woods in WMU A were already 2 1/2+ years old. Where did they go in 2010? Sta-tistically, the table should have set for a large mature buck harvest in 2010? It just shows that the numbers up to 2009 were misleading. 2010 followed a winter pattern which was likely to produce a high number of yearling bucks. Combined with few bucks remaining of any kind after the winter of 2007, and it stands to reason that you would see a high yearling buck ratio in 2010. This doesn’t refl ect a problem. This refl ects numbers that represent a recovering herd.

When looking at data, look at trends, not short term spikes. The average 5 year average of yearling bucks to total bucks is 41.3% within WMU A. The State average in 2010 was 43.4%. So I ask you, where is the problem? And if WMU A has supposed buck ratio problems, what about the other WMU’s? How come this proposal is only for WMU A? Statistics on page 13 clearly outline the fact that other WMU’s have bigger problems that WMU A.

Also take a look at the beam diame-ter statistics on page 12. WMU A has

the highest 5 year average for year-ling buck antler beam diameter of all WMU’s. Average beam diameter is the standard to evaluate deer health. Does that sound like the symptom of an unhealthy herd? And did you know that out of 151 bucks registered at the check stations in Pittsburg in 2010 that 87 of them weighed at least 140 pounds and/or had 3 points on one side? “140 lbs. or 3 antler points” is the criteria the 2010 BASM (Buck Age Structure Management) survey used to determine “trophy” status.

Eighty seven out of 151 bucks (58%) taken in Pittsburg in 2010 already met the defi nition of being considered “trophies”. Combine that fact with the fact that WMU A con-sistently has one of the highest year-ling beam diameter averages in the State and we can make this solid con-clusion: We already have big bucks. There is no “age structure problem” other than the fl uctuations dictated by Mother Nature. Basing a radi-cally new policy decision on only 18 deer, when all other data points in other directions, makes no sense to me. Does it make sense to you?

The other reason I cite for oppos-ing this 3 Point Antler Restriction is because I truly believe this is not in the best interests of the “average” everyday sportsman and that it is not what roughly 85% of our sports-men want. But I’m not going to make that argument. It is now up to you to prove whether I am right or wrong. There are 2 public hearings on this proposal. One in on April 7th at F&G Headquarters in Concord and the other is on April 8th at the Pittsburg School in Pittsburg. Both are at 6:30 pm. If you do not attend, it will be interpreted by those who will decide this issue that you are in support of a 3 Point Antler Restriction. Whether you are for or against this proposal, I urge you to attend the public hear-ings to let your voices be heard. And please, be respectful and civil. It’s is not that often that a public hearing is held this far north. Let’s make a good impression. I’ve tried to give you a few of the more relevant facts. What you do with them is up to you.

Open letter to Berlin, Milan and Success votersTo the editor:When I ran for election for state

representative last fall, I made a cam-paign promise to everyone who would listen that I would represent the people of the North Country as the people desired. I promised I would be your voice.

I write seeking your voice on House Bill 474 - Right to Work. As amended, HB474 would allow workers to 1) be represented by a labor union, 2) allow workers the option not to pay union dues, but to pay an agency fee for union representation, and 3) allow workers to not pay union dues or agency fees, which would exempt the union from having to represent the worker in disputes, wages, etc. (#3 is the amendment).

The proponents of HB474 insist that this law will eventually produce an environment that could bring jobs

both to the state and to the North Country. The statistics of job growth in the Right to Work states show more growth than we have experienced. I do not have a crystal ball, but I am seriously concerned with the state of the current economic condition here in Berlin and the surrounding com-munities.

I voted against HB474 solely because of the overwhelming response that I received from my constituents. Had it been solely my vote, I would have voted for it. I did so with a heavy heart, but my word and reputation is paramount to me.

I would like to point out that the current plan is not working well for us. This will be one of the most impor-tant bills that I will be voting on, and I suspect that I will be presented with a decision to eventually vote to override

If there were a safe, painless way to improve your quality of life, would you try it?

Now there is. Low-Level Laser Ther-apy (LLLT) is a breakthrough science for rapid healing and pain relief. Over 1200 worldwide medical studies have shown safe, proven relief for arthri-tis/joint pain, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, fi bromyalgia, plantar fasci-itis, migraine, muscle spasm/tendon-itis, nerve pain such as sciatica, TMJ dysfunction, burn injuries, acne, and many more conditions.

Low-level lasers send accurately measured, non-thermal packets (“photons”) of light to the appropri-ate treatment site. These light waves penetrate the clothing and skin, caus-ing anti-infl ammatory and immune-stimulating effects, supplying vital

oxygen to the cells. This enables the cells to repair and heal themselves at a greatly accelerated rate.

This therapy is VERY SAFE. It is FDA approved and has been used internationally for over 40 years. LLLT speeds up the healing process, which takes time; it promotes a stron-ger and longer-lasting effect. Your Doctor of Chiropractic at the River-side Wellness Center is committed to providing you the best care possible to help you reach peak wellness. The better you adhere to your treatment plan, the better and more long-lasting the results will be. Many patients’ conditions are permanently resolved upon completing their treatment plans.

Call Dr. Chuck or Dr. Sue Ann at 752-7727 and we will help you begin your journey to healing.

Too busy to eat healthy? Think again! Despite a hectic schedule, there is still time to make healthy choices!

For breakfast, it only takes a few min-utes to throw some frozen berries, skim milk, and fat free yogurt into a blender to make a delicious fruit smoothie. Drink it on your way to work!

For lunch, stuff a whole wheat tor-tilla with beans or lean meat, cherry tomatoes, spinach leaves, and shredded cheese. Grab a handful of baby carrots and a tub of hummus for dipping. 5 min-utes prep time!

For dinner, try a quick stir fry. Get

yourself a package of “boil in a bag” brown rice (takes only 10 minutes to cook!). While the rice is cooking, micro-wave a package of mixed veggies. Heat a skillet and add a little olive oil. Toss the cooked veggies in the heated skil-let, along with the cooked rice, add some shrimp or black beans (or both), and season with low sodium soy sauce, and other spices such as garlic powder. Ready in 15 minutes!

Many people will suffer occasional conditions that make their eyes feel itchy, red and uncomfortable. There are actually two separate conditions that cause these uncomfortable symp-toms, conjunctivitis and blepharitis. While both affect the eyelids, conjunc-tivitis is an infl ammation or infec-tion of tissue that lines the inside of the eyelid and covers the white of the eye. Blepharitis is an infl ammation of the edge of the eyelid, either around eyelash follicles or where the eyelid meets the eyeball.

ConjunctivitisConjunctivitis may affect one of

both eyes and is a common eye con-dition, especially among children. It may be caused by allergic reactions or an infection causes by a virus, bacte-ria or chemical exposure. Some forms of conjunctivitis can be highly conta-gious and easily spread in classrooms or families. It is usually a minor infec-tion, but if left untreated can become more serious.

The symptoms of conjunctivitis can include:

• Gritty, itchy or burning sensations in one or both eyes

• Excessive tearing • Discharge coming from one or

both eyes • Puffy eyelids • Whites in one or both eyes are

pink or red• Increased light sensitivityCommonly called “pink eye” for the

infl ammation in the white of the eye, conjunctivitis has two primary forms: allergic and infectious.

Allergic conjunctivitis occurs in the eyes of allergy sufferers when the allergen, such as dust, pollen or other irritants comes in contact with the eye and causes an allergic reaction. Expo-sure to noxious chemicals, air pollu-tion or chlorine in swimming pools can also result in allergic conjunctivitis.

Another allergic form is giant pap-illary conjunctivitis can be caused by the continuous presence of a foreign body in the eye. People who wear hard or rigid contact lenses or do not replace their soft contact lenses fre-quently enough can develop this type of conjunctivitis, which is identifi ed by large uncomfortable bumps on the inside of the eyelid.

Allergic conjunctivitis can be treated for symptom relief by using non-steroidal antihistamine drops, artifi cial tears, and cold compresses. Chemical conjunctivitis requires fl ushing of the eyes with saline water —or if none is immediately available tap water—for at least 15 minutes to remove any traces of the chemical irri-tant. After fl ushing the eyes, topical lubricants may be applied and antibi-otics may be prescribed to reduce the chance of infection. If exposure comes from more powerful chemicals such as bleach, ammonia or lye, seek immedi-ate emergency medical care.

Infectious conjunctivitis can be caused by the contagious viruses that cause the common cold, which is spread by exposure to coughing or sneezing from cold sufferers. Viral conjunctivitis can be treated for symp-

As the warm weather arrives and the snow melts away, you shake off the last shivers of the past winter. The trees bloom, tulips blossom, and your eyes, nose, and throat begin to itch. If this sounds like you, then you most likely are suffering from sea-sonal allergies. In medical parlance it might be referred to as allergic rhi-nitis; in Chinese medicine, it is called evil wind.

Pollen from trees, weeds, and grasses fl oat through the air and eventually come into contact with our nose, eyes, and throat. Many of us are not sensitive to the tiny pollen. Others fi nd pollen can have a devas-tating effect on their health. For such sensitive individuals there are many forms of relief out there.

One way to mitigate the effects of pollen is to reduce exposure. A simple remedy could be closing win-dows and doors in the house at the peak of pollen season or purchasing an air fi lter. A water capture vacuum cleaner dramatically reduces the

amount of pollen in your carpets. Washing clothes and hair more often can help reduce exposure. Cleaning carpets and bedding more frequently helps fl ush the pollen down the drain.

There are a number of over-the-counter remedies available such as nasal sprays and antihistamines. You should consult your physician before taking any over-the-counter medications. Your physician may also prescribe stronger medications when those don’t do the trick.

There are also many types of alter-native treatment available that could provide long-term relief. Acupunc-ture, herbal medicine, aromatherapy massage, and homeopathy have been used for many years by allergy suf-ferers. Homeopathy works by intro-ducing very small amounts of the substance that causes your allergy into your body. For best results seek a qualifi ed homeopath.

A technique from India that is a part of yoga practice is called nasal irrigation (called neti in India). This involves using a special teapot (called a neti pot) to run warm salty water into one nostril and allow it to drain through the other. This cleans the surface of the nasal cavities and

North Woods Acupuncturemoisturizes the nasal cavity.

Herbal medicine has been used for generations and comes in many forms. Some common herbs include eyebright, nettle, and bayberry. For best results seek a qualifi ed herbal-ist before taking herbal remedies. Chinese herbal remedies have been used to treat both the symptoms and the source of allergies. By treat-ing the source, allergies will become less severe after several courses of herbal remedies.

Acupuncture has been used by many allergy sufferers in recent years to reduce the symptoms cre-ated by allergies and, over a period of time, reduce the impact of aller-gies. Acupuncturists believe that evil wind has invaded the body causing the allergy symptoms. By improving the energy of the body and dispelling the wind, allergy symptoms are alle-viated and over time will gradually

become less and less severe.Aromatherapy massage is mas-

sage therapy that adds concentrated oils to the massage lotion. Eucalyp-tus, pine tree, and tea tree oil are believed to be nature’s deconges-tants.

With the variety of options avail-able to allergy sufferers, there is no need to suffer any longer. Look for-ward to spring weather with a smile knowing that this allergy season will be better than the last.

North Woods MassageMassage to Manage StressMassage has become a vital part of living a health-

ier, less stressful, pain free life. Massage is one of the best antidotes for stress. Daily emotional stress can cause tension in the neck and back causing stiffness. The discomfort of tight muscles increases stress. In some cases a tight neck and shoulders can be the cause of the stress. Activities like sitting at a desk all day or playing sports can cause muscle tightness, which can turn into stress. So how can massage work to reduce your stress? Muscles are manipu-

lated during massage, which relieves muscle ten-sion. Reducing stress leaves you with more energy, helps decrease the possibility of injury and illness, and improves your outlook on life.

Jessica L Roberge is a nationally certifi ed and state licensed massage therapist with over 750 hours of training in Massage Therapy and its ancil-lary modalities. She currently owns and operates North Woods Massage on Riverside Drive in Berlin, New Hampshire. She is a member of the Associated Bodyworkers and Massage Professionals.

If you have lost all of your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, com-plete dentures can replace your missing teeth, and your smile. Replacing missing teeth will benefi t not only your appearance but also your health. You’ll be able to eat and speak, two things that most people often take for granted until their natural teeth are

prematurely lost. A complete denture replaces natural teeth and

provides support for cheeks and lips. Without sup-port from the denture, facial muscles sag, making a person appear older.

The older we get, the more lean muscle tissue we lose. Our metabolic rate naturally bgins to slow down. Lean muscle is more active metabolically speaking than fat and stores fewer toxins. Simply speaking this means that the more lean muscle we have, the better off we are. What is the best way to rev up our metabolic system and fi ght the

loss of lean muscle tissue? The answer is exercise. This simply means the incorporation of physi-

cal activity into your daily routine, and you can do this without becoming a fanatic. Three Curves workouts per week is enough to charge up. The harder you work, the harder the machines work you.

More about breastfeeding......Not only is breastfeeding benefi -

cial for the health of your baby, did you know it's also good for the mom and the family? Studies show that breastfeeding provides the mother protection against breast cancer and the risk decreases as the length of breastfeeding increases.

It’s good for the family because breastfeeding saves money, some-thing we could all use more of these days. Also, many moms have ques-tions about going back to work

and continuing to nurse the baby, pumping and when bottles of breast milk should be "started" to get baby ready for when mom does go back to work. These questions and many others can be answered and talked about with other moms and myself at a support group meeting for breastfeeding moms, so stay tuned, one's coming soon to your neighborhood!

tom relief by using non-steroidal antihistamine drops, artifi cial tears, and cold compresses.

Bacterial conjunctivitis is caused by staphylo-coccal or streptococcal bacteria that reside in your respiratory system or on your skin. The bacterial form can transmitted from insects, contact with infected people or dirty hands, or by use of contami-nated eye makeup or lotions. Bacterial conjunctivitis will be treated by a course of antibiotic ointment or drops. There are many types of drugs to treat bacte-rial conjunctivitis depending on the type of infection. Often it may take a second drug course to resolve the problem.

BlepharitisThere are two types of blepharitis: anterior,

located around the exterior edges of the eyelids and eyelashes; and posterior, located just on the inside of the eyelids. Some of the symptoms for blephari-tis are similar to conjunctivitis, including red, itchy eyelids. The symptoms of blepharitis are limited to the area immediately around the edge of the eyelid and the eyelashes. Though uncomfortable, it is not contagious and generally does not cause damage to eyesight.

Anterior blepharitis can be caused by bacteria or dandruff from the lashes or brows. There may be a combination of factors involved with contributing factors that can include allergies or infestations in the eyelashes. Posterior blepharitis occurs when the eyelid glands do not produce enough oil, which can contribute to bacterial growth. It can also develop as a result of other dermatological conditions, such as acne rosacea or dandruff. Symptoms of dry eye, where tears evaporate too quickly in the absence of oils from the lids may also occur.

Treatment for blepharitis include warm com-presses, gentle massaging of the eyelids, use of an anti-dandruff shampoo, limiting the use of eye makeup, temporary discontinuation of contact lens wear, and artifi cial tears or ointments. In some cases of bacterial infection, an antibiotic ointment may be prescribed. Symptoms may recur and require ongo-ing treatment for relief.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Too much thinking could prevent you from diving in and getting things accom-plished. You can effectively calm the internal chatter through exercise, breath work or being in water. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No one is young forever. Whether you are enjoying your own youth or someone else’s, revel in it for the exquisite gift it is. Let the fresh energy inform all of your senses. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will benefi t from noticing what’s going on outside of your life and world. The enlarged perspective not only helps you to feel better about your life, but it also allows you to make an informed move. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your priorities are obvious. You value beauty, comfort and quality and surround your-self with the same. Your environment will be a lovely haven for those around you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your mettle will be tested as you meet with a situ-ation that requires you to take a mind-over-matter type of approach. The task may be uncomfortable, but if you just do it, it will be over soon enough. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Assum-ing that you already know something would be dangerous now. Instead, keep your eyes wide open in the spirit of wonder and curiosity. This attitude will lead to amazing good luck. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You would always rather be one who brings energy into a room instead of one who sucks energy out it. It will take effort, preparation and a proactive gesture in order to accomplish this today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are well aware that you don’t have to over-spend your hard-earned cash to dress with style. You’ll add to your wardrobe, and you could even come up with a new signature look. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You love people who don’t take them-selves too seriously, because it allows you to let your guard down and just be yourself. You’ll encounter someone like this today, and you’ll both have a good chuckle. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your most endearing qualities come to the fore on this carefree day. You will favorably engage others, even com-plete strangers, with your curious, play-ful approach. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your love of beauty disallows you to pur-chase anything that falls short of your standards of elegance. What you want is not always immediately affordable, but eventually you fi nd a way. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be doing different types of work and will benefi t from taking a moment to switch gears between tasks. Tonight: Remem-ber to turn up the charm, and you’ll have social success. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 5). You’ll display your visionary powers, and others really catch on to your train of thought. In honing your leadership qualities, you’ll shape the future. Good luck in May will broaden your fi nancial horizons. Family additions happen in June. July brings a welcome change of pace. Relationships will be a source of fun and adventure. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 2, 44, 38 and 16.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 21-year-old male who feels lost and unfulfi lled, and it’s because I don’t know what I want or de-serve. I am one of three adopted children. I was the child who always needed the family support system the most. I come from a not-so-happy family, one with all its priorities centered around money. (Or, more accurately, lack of money.) I never felt the love a child should feel from his family. My problem these days is my alcohol intake. I can’t stay away from beer. I drink to forget my family problems and the fact that I can’t seem to get anything right. I dropped out of college because I don’t have a passion for anything or anyone. I used to have hobbies -- like writing, photography, etc. -- but the beer has taken away my motiva-tion and creativity. I feel I’m losing my will to keep trying. I want so badly to keep trying, but my emotions are keeping me down. I just want something new, something I can give my all to, some-thing that won’t hurt me in the future. -- WHAT CAN I DO? DEAR WHAT CAN I DO?: I’m glad you wrote, because I know of a group that may be able to give you the emotional support you need to get back on track and regain control of your life. It’s Emotions Anonymous. Founded in 1971, it has 850 chapters worldwide and 450 in the United States. It is a 12-step program for people experiencing emotional diffi cul-ties. In these groups, members help each other by sharing experiences, strengths and hopes in order to improve their emotional health. It also offers books and literature to new and existing groups. The email address is eainfo(at)emotion-sanonymous.org and its website is www.emotionsanony-mous.org. DEAR ABBY: Back in second grade I was friends with “Jessica.” A girl named “Kristy” started at my school, and I

became friends with her, too. She didn’t want me to be friend-ly with Jessica, and before long I began to pick on Jessica with Kristy. It reached the point where Kristy and two other girls wrote some mean things about Jessica on the blacktop. I didn’t write anything, but I got in trouble, too. I knew I’d made a mistake and hurt her, and I felt bad about it. A year or so later I apologized for what I had done. Jes-sica said it was OK, but I continued feeling guilty over the years for having teased her and not resisting peer pressure. When I was in high school, I sent her a message online and apologized again. Although she said again it was OK, I feel she still holds some resentment, and I don’t blame her. We’re both adults now, and I see her when I shop at the store up the road from my house. Each time I’m in the checkout line she’s working in, I get a cold attitude. I have told her I was wrong and have tried to make it up to her. Do I leave it alone or keep trying to reach out to her? -- HEAVY HEART IN MAINE DEAR HEAVY HEART: Find some other way to expiate your guilt. Jessica has told you twice that you’re forgiven. Leave her alone because for you to keep bringing up what had to have been a painful (although closed) chapter in her life at this point is creepy. If you can’t do that, then please, shop someplace else or stand in a different checkout line. DEAR ABBY: When one person owes another person an apology, does it count as a legitimate apology if the word “but” is tacked on at the end? I think adding “but” takes away from the admission of fault and places the blame back on the person owed the apology. Am I right? -- WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY DEAR WAITING: Yes, you are. When someone adds “but” at the end of an apology, he or she is trying to justify whatever the offense was. And that’s not a true apology.

LETTER from page 5

Carrier said this year’s third place winner fi nished in second place during the 2010 competition. He added that student had the advantage since he had competed before and knew how it worked.

It was impressive for Corrigan and Rozek to beat someone with experience in the competition.

“That was a great feat by itself,” said Carrier. “He had the advantage.”

Looking forward to the national com-petition, Corrigan said he’s going to get as much time to practice as he can.

“I really want to place top fi ve,” said Corrigan.

The national Skills USA challenge is set for June 19- 25.

“The national competition is the trip of a lifetime for a student to experience,” said Carrier.

Carrier said Corrigan will compete

against the best students in the coun-try. He added someone these other pro-grams have a lot more time practicing and classroom contact hours than Ber-lin’s program has.

“He’s got quite the challenge,” said Carrier.

In order to get ready, Carrier said he’s going to work with Corrigan and help him practice before heading to Kansas City in June.

“My goal last year was to fi nish top 10, which we did,” said Carrier. “My goal this year is to fi nish top fi ve.”

Now, Carrier said he’s going to start fundraising to pay for the trip to Kansas City. He added he needs $2,500 to go to the competition.

He said in the past, Isaacson Struc-tural Steel, Cross Machine Shop, Alpine Machine and AirGas have supported the venture and also serve on the pro-gram’s advisory board.

Offi ce Ned Therrien praised the close cooperation between the forest ser-vices and timber owners. Simpkins noted that “due to the work done by NHTOA working in conjunction with the state, the forest industry gener-ates $2.3 billion in the state annually, employing some 20,000.”

Among other things, Therrien noted the quality of the national forest veneer woods(“some of the best in the world, prized for fl ooring and furniture”), thanks to good forest practices, at least in part generated by the technically trained people the Forest Service brought to the ecology of the forests, mentioning Hubbard Brook, in particular.

“Such research is critical to the future of the forest,” he said.

NHTOA board member Rick Les-sard, who grew up in Berlin, noted that he had grown up working in the woods and had met Charles Niebling, formerly of the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. “We felt the logging com-munity needed some recognition,” Lessard said. Working with NHTOA the Timber Harvesting Council was formed to elevate professionalism in logging and established training in forestry skills, with requirements to keep certifi cation. The requirements are voluntary and, said Lessard, “It’s

working and I hope it will continue to.”

Former NHTOA board member Ed Witt recounted a lifetime of work in the timber industry and noted that New Hampshire was unique in that those involved in the industry can get together and “hash out an approach to problems.”

“We are unique,” he said. “Maine and Vermont have laws in place to stop clear cuts (and bad harvest-ing). It creates a situation where you have bad forestry procedures. In New Hampshire, we work together. I can practice forestry in New Hampshire that I can’t in Vermont and Maine and that’s the kind of environment the industry wants—that is charac-teristic of TOA policy.”

In the parade of speakers, Simp-kins had the best lines. He read from a speech given by Edgar C. Hirst, N.H. State Forester, 1909-1920, at the 75th anniversary of NHTOA. In his speech, Hirst described the dev-astation of the forests caused by the bad management practices of the early 20th century that led to a series of terrible forest fi res.

“In New Hampshire, the period of most rapid damage increase was from the Zealand Valley fi res in 1888 until the great fi res of 1903. The Zea-land fi re burned 12,000 acres and after destroying most of the young

growth, consumed 2,000,000 feet of logs and $50,000 worth of standing merchantable wood. . . . Then in 1903, over 84,000 acres were burned in the White Mountain area. Probably this was the determining factor in crys-tallizing public sentiment for state organization of fi re suppression. . . . (In) 1909 a law was enacted setting up a State Forestry Department with authority to fi ght and prevent forest fi res . . . The members of the fi rst Commisssion were Robert P. Bass of Peterboro (later Governor), Chair-man, Jason E. Tolles of Nashua, and W. Robinson Brown of Berlin.

“It was during this planning stage in 1909 and early 1910 that the idea of cooperation of timberland owners with the State Forestry Department was developed. . . . Mr. W. Robinson Brown, a member of the Frestry Commission and Woodland Man-ager of Brown Company, felt that the best results would be obtained if the owners of a larger part of the forest area of Northern New Hampshrie pooled their interests in an associa-tion with which the State Forestry Department could make defi nite cooperative agreements for carrying out specifi c parts of a fi re protection program.

“It was to consider the formation of such a company that Mr. Brown called a meeting of timberland owners at

Gorham on March 30, 1910. . . . After a sumptuous dinner at the Mount Madison House, which lasted until nearly 10 p.m. . … we assembled in the big east room. . . . .Mr. Brown took the fl oor and explained at length how he thought the land owners could organize for the benefi t of them-selves and the state . . . The meeting was then thrown open to questions and discussion. I thought this would never end. . .. These men represented or owned a great deal of timber-land in Northern New Hampshire. The proposal appealed to them, but they took plenty of time to discuss just what was to be one, how much it would cost and what obligations they would assume by becoming par-ties to the agreement. . . . The meet-ing fi nally (about 3 a.m.) resolved to form a protective association along the lines proposed. . . . “

Other speakers during the eve-ning at the Brown House Wednesday included Linda Upham-Bornstein, of the Center for Rural Partnerships, Plymouth State University; Jasen Stock, NHTOA executive director; Dick Huot, speaking for Larry Kelly, Tri-County CAO executive director; Catherin Amidon, director, Museum of the White Mountains; and Ann Davis, NHTOA president, who shared the unveiling of the plaque with Huot.

and the Harvard Mountaineering Club responded to the scene, pack-aged the man up, performed a tech-nical rescue, took him down the trail and to the Pinkham Notch Visitors Center, said Preisendorfer.

An ambulance then transported the man to the hospital, though Preisend-orfer said he’s not sure where the man was taken for treatment.

The rescue operation took nearly three hours.

The man’s fall occurred about two miles from the Pinkham Notch visi-tor’s Center.

Lion Head Trail follows the ridge that makes up the north wall of Tuck-erman Ravine, according to the AMC’s “White Mountain Guide.” It adds the

trail is often used as another route along the Tuckerman Ravine Trail, since it begins and ends on that trail.

The guide states that Lion Head Trail serves as an alternate route up Mount Washington when parts of the Tuckerman Ravine Trail are closed due to snow or ice. The guide adds that the trail is considered the least dangerous when heading up Mount Washington during the winter months.

Preisendorfer said the Lion Head Trail is the standard route to the Mount Washington summit during the winter.

The trail was laid out to avoid many avalanche- prone areas, said Preisen-dorfer, but there are many steep parts hikers must tackle.
