The Gorham Historical Society, in commemora-tion of the town’s 175th Anniversary this year, has produced a beau-tiful, limited edition T-shirt. The design, done by Michael Eastman (Art for the Soul Studio) and produced by brother and fellow artist Mark Eastman (Action Screen Printing), depicts the historic town hall, Common and railroad depot in an earlier decade. Some may remember the design, which was used during the town’s Sesquicentennial celebration. Adult and youth sizes are $15. Another new T-shirt has been created by Mark MacKay (http://mackaystudios.blogspot.com/) and was printed by Corrigan Screen Printing. It’s a whimsical sketch of a Baldwin steam engine and train, with many animals on board, including a beluga whale in a wooden crate. The latter is part of unique local railroad history, as three whales were transported by the Grand Trunk Railroad from the St. Lawrence River near Quebec to the Boston Aquarial Garden in 1861. GTR Historian John Davis unearthed this most interesting story 30 or more years ago. Youth sizes are $10 and adult sizes are $12. Proceeds from the sale of both shirts benefi t the Gorham Historical Society.

Two adults charged for Gorham party

GORHAM — Gorham police have arrested and charged two women in connection to an underage drinking party in Gorham last month.

Nancy Arguin, 48, and Diane Gorham, 45, both of Broadway Street, were arrested on June 30 and charged with misdemeanor crimes. Arguin was charged with facilitating an under-age drinking party, for allegedly hosting the party at her home. Gorham was charged with prohibited sales for allegedly supplying alcohol to minors under the age of 21.

Two Gorham offi cers responded to an under-age drinking party on Broadway Street at

Wal-Mart leads tax abatement requests

GORHAM — The Gorham selectmen were presented with a list of requests for tax abate-ments at their meeting on July 5. Six business comprised the bulk of the dollar amount, asking the town to reduce their collective values by nearly $28 million. Comprising more than half of that, was a request from Wal-Mart to reduce their valuation by more than $15 million.

Selectman Paul Robitaille said that he understands that Wal-Mart is doing this all

Grenier blames IPPs for death of biomass plant

BY BARBARA TETREAULTTHE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- Mayor Paul Grenier Tuesday night charged the Independent Power Pro-ducers have killed the Berlin Station biomass plant and the jobs and tax revenue it offered the city and region.

“The project as it stands today is dead,” Gre-nier told the city council.

The mayor said it was painful for him to see such a signifi cant economy development initia-tive fail. He said the repercussions will be felt by many businesses especially the forest prod-ucts industry.

“The logging industry in this county will be devastated by this,” he said.

Grenier took aim at the six smaller biomass see GRENIER page 13

last shuttle launch

SAYWHAT...I see nothing in space as promis-

ing as the view from a Ferris wheel.”

—E. B. White

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. (NY Times) — When NASA launches a space shuttle, there are either six or seven astronauts aboard. So why, on the 135th and fi nal launching of the 30-year-old space shuttle pro-gram, will there be only four?

The answer, perhaps not surprisingly, has to do with the Atlantis being the last fl ight: With no spare shuttle available to go and rescue the astro-nauts in case something goes wrong, the Americans would have to turn to the Russians to retrieve their crew from the International Space Station. And the Russian spacecraft — known as Soyuz capsules — hold only three astronauts, so two people would have to fl y up and bring home the Americans one at a time.

“This is a very low likeli-hood case,” said Atlantis’ commander, Capt. Christo-pher J. Ferguson of the Navy, during a news conference last week. But the agency’s safety experts have “done an extraordinarily thorough job of making sure we have a good plan to get home,” he said.

The Atlantis is scheduled to leave from here at 11:26 a.m. on Friday, making its 33rd fl ight. But the forecast on Wednesday was for only a 30 percent chance of accept-able weather, so the launching could be delayed until Sunday or beyond.

LOS ANGELES (NY Times) — You would think that Los Angeles, of all places, would know how to handle a catastrophe.

But in just over a week, 11 miles of Interstate 405 — the north-south spine of the West Side of Los Angeles, which carries 500,000 cars every weekend over the Sepulveda Pass into the San Fernando Valley — is going to shut down for 53 hours, from late Friday night to early Monday morning. No cars, trucks or motorcycles will be allowed, to make way for the latest phase in a $1 billion widening project for a highway that serves

as an unhappy second home for commuters during rush hours. And they are calling it Carmageddon.

City offi cials are warning of a traffi c nightmare, urging people to stay home or get out of town with pronouncements that have taken on an increas-ingly alarming tone. “EXPECT BIG DELAY” reads the warning on electronic billboards on highways and streets from Bakersfi eld to San Diego. The Metropolitan Transportation Author-ity has an offi cial “Countdown to the Closure” clock on its Web site, ticking down to the weekend of July 16 and 17.

L.A. prepares for worst in freeway shutdown

BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Fired up with zeal, activists say they have set up dozens of checkpoints in the Syrian city of Hama, alert-ing neighborhood groups with cries of “God is great” to the approach of feared security forces and throwing up bar-ricades of burning tires and trash bins to block their path.

Hama, the scene of the larg-est protests yet and haunted

by the memories of a ferocious crackdown a generation ago, has emerged as a potent chal-lenge to President Bashar al-Assad. In just days, the protests and the government’s uncer-tain response have underlined the potential scale of dissent in Syria, the government’s lack of a strategy in ending it, and the diffi culty Mr. Assad faces in dismissing the demonstrations as religiously inspired unrest

with foreign support.Hama is still a far cry from

the liberated territory that the most fervent there have declared, with perhaps more hope than evidence. But a gov-ernment decision last month to withdraw its forces has ceded the streets to protesters, who have tried to create an alterna-tive model to the heavy-handed repression that serves as a trademark of Baathist rule.

Libya rebels advance on two fronts

QAWALISH, Libya (NY Times) — Rebels opposed to Col. Muam-mar el-Qaddafi seized control of this village in the mountains on Wednesday, extending their hold in western Libya and inching toward a supply route to the capi-tal that they hope to sever.

After a half-day gun battle, Colonel Qaddafi ’s soldiers yielded the town in the early afternoon, fi ring rockets and mortars to cover their withdrawal. The ordnance exploded on the hillsides around the town with reverberating booms and plumes of dust and smoke that briefl y kept the rebels away. But the rebels fl owed in behind the fl eeing troops, capturing more than a dozen of them and collecting the departed soldiers’ abandoned ammunition and equipment.

Qawalish changed hands while rebels elsewhere reported making progress outside of Misu-rata, east of the capital, Tripoli, They said they were advancing toward the city of Zlitan. Those reports could not be indepen-dently confi rmed.

Man, 91, killed by hatchet to the head

LYNDEBOROUGH — A 91-year-old man was killed in Lyndeborough when he was hit in the head with a hatchet.

The New Hampshire Attorney Gen-eral’s offi ce said police were called to a home on Cram Hill Road Tuesday afternoon.

Police found Noel St. Laurent, 91, dead inside his home. Offi cers arrested 44-year-old Glenn Rodgers

at the scene. They said he had been living with St. Laurent since March.

Rogers has been charged with sec-ond-degree murder. He is expected to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon. An autopsy will be performed on St. Laurent.

There is no word yet on what pro-voked the deadly attack.

LACONIA — Fire offi cials in Laco-nia said 15 people were displaced after a three-alarm fi re broke out at their apartment building late Tues-day night.

The fl ames broke out shortly before midnight at an apartment building at the corner of Sheridan and School Streets, offi cials said. Authorities said no one was injured in the fi re.

Laconia fi re Chief Kenneth Erick-son said at around 11:45 p.m., the apartment building at 158 School Street caught fi re.

There are seven apartments in the building that houses around 15 tenants. Everyone made it out safely by the time

crews responded, fi re offi cials said.Erickson said the building use to

be two separate houses 50 to 60 years ago, and it was that fact that helped slow fl ames overnight.

The fi re chief said a sparkler started the fi re under the building’s porch. Flames reached a propane tank which fueled the fi re even more.

Early Wednesday morning, fi re-fi ghters were still trying to get in con-tact with all of the tenants to talk to them and ask them what they saw.

Erickson said not all of the tenants were cooperative and one person was even arrested.

Obama fi elds question from N.H. blogger in Twitter town hall meeting

MANCHESTER — The fi rst ques-tion to President Obama at the fi rst ever Twitter Town Hall meeting today came from ... the fi rst-in-the-nation state.

It was from Bill Smith, a conser-vative blogger from Merrimack, who was surprised his question made the cut. He had Tweeted, “What mis-takes have you made in handling this recession and what would you do dif-ferently?”

The president replied that the reces-sion was worse than expected. “Even I did not realize the magnitude,” Obama said. He said he takes respon-sibility for setting high expectations for a quicker economic turnaround.

Smith was not surprised with the response.

“I think his response is what I expected,” he said. “He didn’t admit any glaring mistakes and, instead, said he should have prepared us for the bad news differently and be better on housing issues. So, essentially, he seemed to say, “I should have spun it differently.”

Smith, an IT systems engineer who blogs part-time about politics, said he was impressed with the substance of some of the questions fi elded.

Andrew Cline, Editorial Page Editor of the New Hampshire Union Leader, was one of the “curators” around the country who worked with Twitter to gather and forward questions for the town hall-style meeting.

Conway to get half of its fi reworks money back

CONWAY — The town will get back half of the $8,500 it gave a Lon-donderry company for a Fourth of July fi reworks display that went off 65 minutes later than scheduled due to technical diffi culties.

Conway town manager Earl Sires and recreation director John East-man, who oversees the town's Fourth of July celebration, had a conference call with the owners of RS Fireworks Wednesday afternoon to discuss what went awry Monday night.

"The fi reworks people walked us through what happened," Sires said by phone Wednesday. "They were up front about they could have done a better job with staffi ng and planning for the event. They've agreed to give us half of our money back. There was also some talk about working out a deal towards next year, but we're going to wait on that."

Technical delays were being cited as the reason RS Fireworks' planned choreographed show didn't happen at the originally scheduled 9:40

p.m. send off. Instead the show was delayed 65 minutes with the fi rst fi rework taking to the sky at 10:45 and the show technically ending at 11:02 p.m. although there were a few additional fi reworks.

"You learn from things like this," Sires said. "I hope to take time during the coming year and meet with offi -cials from the North Conway Fire Department and the North Conway Country Club to make sure we give everyone the opportunity to get up and going next year. In my ideal world, John gets a call at 7 p.m. and is told everything is ready to go."

Many people from the crowd of over 10,000 people had long since departed North Conway's Schouler Park before the show started.

"We want to take the necessary steps to make sure this sort of thing never happens again," Eastman said. "We've never had any major issues in the past. It's unfortunate this happened. I know there are people who are upset and for that I'm sorry, but it was nothing on our end. Our intent was never to disap-point anyone.

MADISON — The past nine days have been the longest stretch between suspicious fi res that have plagued the Mount Washington Valley since May.

In the last set of suspicious fi res, on June 27, a home Glines Hill Road in Eaton and a home on Watson Hill Road in Freedom were torched. There have been no suspicious fi res from June 28 to July 6, according to State Fire Marshal's Offi ce investigator Tom Riley. The previous stretch was

seven days.The fi res are still under investiga-

tion."We're plugging along," said Riley.Police chief James Mullen said

there have been about 14 suspicious fi res in the area since mid-May. Those other incidents include several fi res in the Ossipee Pine Barrens, a small building fi re at Purity Springs Resort, and fi res that destroyed two barns on a Mooney Hill Road property.

A fi re on Leavitt Road in Ossipee on June 28 has been ruled an accidental.

Hello fellow Berlinites. General Albert S. Twitchell, a resident of Gorham and promi-nent citizen of the area, died on Thursday September 17, 1901.

Albert Sobleski Twitchell was born in Bethel, Maine on September 16, 1840 and received his education at Gould Academy. After returning from the Civil War in 1865, he became a lawyer in Paris, Maine and one year later commenced this same profession in Gorham, New Hampshire.

Twitchell was a selectman in Gorham for more than one dozen years and a very active member of the school board. He was also a railroad commissioner for the state of New Hampshire and served as consul for Presi-dent Benjamin Harrison’s administration at Santiago de Cuba.

General Twitchell held many other posts in the town of Gorham, including being the President of the Gorham Five Cent Savings Bank.

This legendary Gorham resident was mar-ried to Miss Emma A. Howland of Gorham and had two children through this marriage; they were Harold P. and Rita May Twitchell. His remains were interred in the Gorham cemetery.

On September 6, 1901, President McKinley was shot in Buffalo, New York and died from his wounds eight days later. His death pro-duced many fanat-ics, one of which came to Berlin.

A man had gone to the local offi ce of the Boston and Maine Railroad and wanted to purchase a ticket for Wash-ington D.C., as he was going to “shoot the man next to McKinley”.

Agent Causier said that he sold this person a ticket to New York and told him that he could purchase one for Washington as soon as he got to New York City. Mr. Causier then communicated with Chief Youngcliss of Berlin, who telegraphed the chief of police in New York City with the man’s description and ticket number.

The New York police later informed the Berlin PD of the arrest of this man whose name was Charles Miller and that he had been taken to the Bellevue Hospital for eval-uation.

Mr. Miller had been in Berlin for one week and had created many problems while he was here. The New York police claimed that this man was insane.

The headlines in Berlin’s social news stated that in the nineteenth of Septem-ber during this year, Miss Caroline Lewis Gordon, daughter of General and Mrs. John B. Gordon was married during the evening to Orton Bishop Brown of this city at “Suther-land”, the general’s residence in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. The ceremony was the event of the season in this area, having six-teen hundred invitations issued.

Mr. and Mrs. Brown settled on Church Street in Berlin, where Mr. Brown ran the operations of Brown Company for his father W.W. Brown of Portland, Maine. His wife Caroline did many great things for the social

development of this city and both were dearly loved. They are buried in the City Cemetery on the East Milan Road.

A sad shooting took place at fi ve o’clock on Sunday afternoon September 22, near the Jericho Road. Young Henry Babson, the nine year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Babson was playing with a companion in the yard at the time, when a bullet came from the direc-tion of Green’s Hill (?).

This bullet pierced the young boy’s right arm about four inches below the shoulder and entered his body going into his lung. Medial aid was at once sent for, but the bullet could not be located and the boy was making a brave struggle for his life.

The paper said that this sad event occurred through a laxity of our laws, allowing the use of fi rearms within the city limits. This had been in practice for a long period of time and the paper reiterated that scarcely a day went by during the hunting season, when shots were not heard by many residents.

The editor wanted the proper authorities to take matters in hand and see to it that the law was enforced, as it should have been, so that no further shootings such as this would take place again.

In my obituary research, I did not fi nd the passing of the Babson boy. I did fi nd that he was married and had children of his own, so he survived his ordeal.

The beginning of October 1901, produced one of the saddest fatalities to ever have taken place in this city, when little Annie Morin was run over by a Grand Trunk freight train at the Mt. Forist crossing.

At about 7:30 o’clock on Saturday morn-ing October 5, 1901, Anna, the nine year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Morin, was run over by freight cars and received injuries from which she soon passed away.

The child had been sent to the store on an errand and was returning home when the mishap took place. She was trying to go by the cars of freight when some were being shunted in the yard. They knocked her down, running over both of her legs and injuring them in a terrible manner.

Flagman Martin Lee, who was stationed at the railroad crossing, did not see the child until it was too late to render any sort of assistance. Lee made a valiant effort to save her from the wrath of the train wheels, but failed.

The young girl was immediately taken to her home and placed in bed. She then started calling for her mother and when her mother arrived, the little girl said, “Here is your yeast cake, Mama”. This what she had pur

Laws apply to some, but not others?

To the editor:The town of Gorham, NH,

saw its population multi-plied many times over on July 4, 2011. The Gorham Common was packed with people, shoulder to shoul-der, all enjoying the carni-val, food, and drinks. The Straightaway Band enter-tained to a large crowd of people gathered in front of the bandstand. Then, 10 p.m. clicked on the clock. The fi reworks started blasting in the sky. It was a spectacular show of colors and noise.

After the fi reworks the trek back home or to motels started. The lines of cars and pedestrian traffi c was like what one would experience in a large city. The Gorham Police Dept. and Sheriff ’s Dept. were put to work directing traffi c. The exodus of traffi c became a night-mare for drivers and those directing the traffi c. That’s when the problems started.

We were exiting via Rail-road Street to Church Street and, eventually, Main Street headed north. Cars were coming down from Prom-enade Street, adding to our delay. Shortly, a courteous driver allowed us to turn unto Church Street. At the corner of Church Street. and Main Street a traffi c offi cer was attempting to direct traffi c. Hence our problem started!We sat in Church Street traffi c for 45 minutes. Why? We can only surmise that the traffi c offi cer lost his professionalism when sev-eral young people behind us started honking their horns and hollering. What followed

were several mistakes and/or violations by drivers and the traffi c offi cer.

The fi rst violation was a motorcycle passing all the stopped cars by riding the center line. The fi rst mistake was allowing that motorcycle to turn unto Main Street. As motorcyclists we are aware that California allows motor-cycle to pass slow moving or stopped cars by riding the center line or breakdown lane. Such is not the case in New Hampshire! The motorcycle should have been stopped with an illegal pass-ing violation. The “second mistake” was for the traffi c offi cer to punish 100, plus, cars backed up on Church Street, Railroad Street and Promenade Street in retali-ation to the horn honking by a few young people who had become exasperated by the long wait to move. The last time that I saw “mass punishment” by anyone of authority has been in Army basic training in 1960 and while standing on the steps of the Pentagon with bayo-neted rifl e during a riot. This evening of July 4, I saw a traffi c offi cer lose his cool, punish 100 plus people because of a few honking horns!

The third violation/mis-take was a car passing all the stopped cars to go speak to the traffi c offi cer. The traf-fi c offi cer had the car reverse into a parking lot near the intersection. He, then, called for back-up whereas another offi cer came over to direct traffi c. The offended traffi c

Although the best medical help of the time was summoned for Miss Morin, she passed away a few hours later. Her heartbreaking funeral was held at St. Anne’s Church the following Monday.

Finally, one of Berlin’s busiest streets at the time, Mechanic Street, saw a new business arrive, when A.A. Fancy built a two story blacksmith shop and opened it on Monday, October 28.

This latest building was 28 by 44 feet and two stories in height, making another new company for Berlin on one

of their very active thoroughfares. Mr. Fancy was known in the Berlin area as one of the fi nest blacksmiths in this city and was anxious to meet all of his old customers at his new place.

offi cer left his post and addressed the driver of the car in the parking lot with a loud yell of, “Get out of your car!” What transpired after that we don’t know since the relieving offi cer had us move unto Main Street and, for us, to head north on Main Street to our motel. We presume that the traf-fi c offi cer could have cited the driver for illegal passing? Why hadn’t the motorcycle been cited earlier? Laws apply to some and not to others? Or, what is the frustration of the traffi c offi cer that decided?

Today, my wife and I leave Gorham for the coast of Maine and visit with

our parents. Our vacation was inter-rupted and ruined by a non-profes-sional police offi cer in Gorham, NH. You can rest assured that we won’t plan on visiting my old Army buddy on a July 4, weekend in the near future. Nor will we have a good recommen-dation of Gorham to fellow travelers and friends in Maine and Georgia. All because a police offi cer lost his cool in the face of performing his duty! How would he fare in Boston, New York, Atlanta, or Jacksonville?

Otherwise, the fi reworks were spec-tacular!

To the editor:Stunned! Bromass plant is dead!

How can this be? The fi x was in and the deal done!

PSNH dripping and bristling with money, power, political infl uence, con-nections and historic skills in back room deals somehow missed a “deadline.” C’mon! There is more to the story than this.

The crafted statement by Cates Capi-tal has a purpose. I expect some blame game stuff. Some fast and furious fi nger pointing will occur to muddy up the water for some later move.

Though many, myself included, see through this PSNH monopoly scheme, a scam that would impoverish the North Country and rail against us. We can’t take credit for this event.

Truth is that in various ways, some thuggish, we were pushed aside by the faces of greed and self interest.

No, my guess is PSNH, in its arro-gance, miscalculated and went to its back door strategy to monopolize energy production by circumventing the laws that protect us.

In any event, whatever happened belongs on PSNH’s doorstep. They own

it.But again, somethings fi shy. It

appears they dropped the ball. There’s another story ahead. But then that’s not the main purpose of this letter.

It is to remind you an opportunity had always existed.

There was / is a genuine biomass company, one that had a project that was the right fi t in all respects to North Country needs. One that utilized treat-ment plant waste water, would send hot, clean water to Cascade Hill, and most important, provide operating and logging jobs. It also was part of Ges-tomp, a multi-national company deal-ing in steel, automotive components and renewables. Think of the possibili-ties. It has a race virtue, a conscience.

Old story, good guys are last. PSNH and dirty politics pushed them aside, too. Gestomp left having no taste for local squabbles.

Of course, I’m talking about Clean Power!

I understand Cate Capital has acquired rights to Clean Power.

This project needs be resurrected. So if Cate Capitol is truly interested in you, me, and this area, I suggest they bring

around 11:30 p.m. on June 11. Gorham Police Chief PJ Cyr said that when his offi cers arrived they found 20 under-age attendees at the Arguin party. The offi -cers conducted fi eld interviews and sobri-ety tests at the time and arrested seven of the party-goers, rang-ing in age from 17 to 20, charging them with unlawful posses-sion of alcohol.

Cyr said that the women were pres-ent at the time of the initial arrests, but an investigation was war-ranted to discern their and any other adult’s roles in the incident. He added that it was not prudent to make a determination on scene without further evidence. Police gath-ered that additional evidence through subsequent inter-views with those who attended the party, leading to the arrest of Gorham and Arguin. Cyr noted that as a result of the investi-gation, “I feel comfort-able that we’ll have a successful prosecu-tion.”

Both Arguin and Gorham were released on $500 personal recognizance bail and are scheduled to be arraigned in Berlin District Court on Aug. 26.

PARTY from page one

Diane Bouthot of American Legion Auxiliary, Dupont Holmes Unit 82 of Gorham, NH, was named New Hampshire American Legion Auxiliary Unit Member of the Year for 2010-2011, at the New Hamp-shire Department Conven-tion held in Nashua June 16, through June 19.Diane was nominated for her selfl ess endeavors in helping and supporting the programs of the American Legion Aux-iliary, Honoring our Veterans and Active Duty Personal. Her continuing efforts of “Service not Self” has shown through. Diane’s name will be placed with the 51 other states during the American Legion National Convention held in Minneapo-lis, Minnesota in August of this year.


over the state and found the practice distasteful. “I fi nd it very irritating that they can afford to do these things...and pass their responsibility on to the taxpayers,” he said.

The commercial and utility properties looking for relief on their tax bills include the Gorham Indus-trial Park, Portland Pipeline, Wal-Mart, KGI Prop-erties (Mountain Valley Plaza), Great Lakes Hydro America (Cascade Hydro and Gorham Hydro), and RJE Properties (Fleury Patry Funeral Home). Their requests ranged from RJE’s $169,900 for their two lots on Exchange Street, to Portland Pipeline’s $2.8 million, to a combined $7.9 million for the two hydro plants, to Wal-Mart’s proposed 75 percent reduction in value.

Nine residential abatement requests were also received, totaling $298,900. The selectmen did not

act on any of the requests, which are all under review by the town’s assessors.

The town’s total valuation including utilities is $318,000. Town Manager Robin Frost explained in an interview on Wednesday that in a worst case scenario, if the town were to lose an estimated $28 million in tax value the cost of funding the budget would be shifted to the rest of the taxpayers at a rate of more than $2 per thousand (dollars of assessed value). That is not anything she expects to happen, however.

Frost explained that many of these business abate-ments are ongoing issues, with similar abatement requests from previous years pending with the Board of Tax and Land Appeals. The town settled with KGI on their 2008 abatement and a 2009 abatement is still pending. Wal-Mart has a pending request from 2009, which is scheduled to be heard by the BTLA in

September, Frost said. In many cases, she explained the challenge has been getting accurate information from the businesses, with which a comprehensive value can be calculated. When information is not forthcoming, she explained, assumptions have to be made as to construction or other value components. Frost explained that in the case of Wal-Mart, “as-built” drawings were not forthcoming until recently. With those in hand, the town is able to better calcu-late construction costs and place a value on the prop-erty.

In all of the commercial and utility cases, under review by George “Skip” Sansoucy, the town’s asses-sor, Frost said Sansoucy “feels confi dent in his values.” She explained that he has a reputation for being able to defend his assessments and is renowned for his work, especially in utility assessments like the hydros and pipeline. “He’s pretty top notch,” Frost said.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll get a sign that things are about to change for the better in a relationship. Perhaps this won’t come as a source of elation, but you will likely feel cheer-ful and optimistic about your future with the other person. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You often avoid strong emotions, but such intense feelings can be helpful at times. For instance, your anger can make you more powerful than a wild beast. Use your strong feelings judiciously. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People will do annoying things that have noth-ing to do with you, so be sure not to take any of it personally. You may fi nd their behavior irritating, but you’ll blow it off much quicker when you know it’s not really about you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You want a change, and your desire for it is the ingredient that will make it happen. As you let your desire move you, it strengthens. The stronger your desire the faster the change will come about. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The more you expose people to your ideas the more they will like them. So keep making your pitch, telling your story and winning supporters one by one. You will soon go from being “an acquired taste” to having mainstream appeal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What appears to be an everyday encounter may seem stressful to you. Because of your particular sensitivities, you realize there is much more going on than most people would see. Try to relax and take it all in stride. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll persuade someone subtly and with-out being detected. Perhaps even you don’t realize that you are doing this. But when you want something so much, it’s

hard to keep yourself from going for it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A good lawyer does not present all of the infor-mation he has about his client during the opening statement. Likewise, you have the rapt attention of your “jury” as you take your time in revealing the truth. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are too many people infl uencing you now. It will do you no good to want something just because others do. If you still don’t know what your true wants are, ask them to speak to you a little louder. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It has been said that any item of clothing can be attractive with a confi dent, pas-sionate person inside it. However, it’s diffi cult to feel either confi dent or pas-sionate if you hate what you’re wearing. Another reason to shop... AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are in a competitive mood. The best competitor now is not a person, but the general idea that is the status quo. Go for mastery and excellence in all things. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your deepest craving is to be accepted and adored. Realizing that this is some-thing you have in common with most humans, you lavish others with praise and they do the same for you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 7). You’ll love the interaction this month as lively characters enter your world. Fun and unexpected travel precedes hard work during the highly productive month of September. You’ll express yourself in a safe environment and develop your gifts through October. November brings the payoff of a long-term investment. Libra and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 6, 25, 43 and 23.

DEAR ABBY: Has the marriage proposal become an in-vited ceremony like the wedding, or am I out of touch? A few months ago friends and family were invited to a beach near Seattle for the proposal. Our grandson and his live-in went for a short seaplane ride. The plane returned, beached and the couple got out. Then, surrounded by the throng on the sand -- and videotaped -- grandson proposed on bended knee and she, of course, accepted. Because we did not attend, my daughter is still not speak-ing to us. The young couple will fl y to Maui in a few months for the wedding. We are among the invited, but the trip is too much for us. Your comments, please. -- BAFFLED IN BRUNS-WICK, MAINE DEAR BAFFLED: I have heard of brides getting carried away and turning their wedding ceremony into the equiv-alent of a stage production, but this is the fi rst time I have heard about a mother of the groom issuing a command per-formance for the proposal. Heaven only knows what she’s planning for the birth of their fi rst child. DEAR ABBY: I am with a man who treats me and my kids great. He is kind, caring and very generous. I trust him. How-ever, I have been in a couple of bad relationships. For some reason, I’m drawn to “bad” boys. I’m not sure if I really love this man because there is no “spark.” None! Should I stay with someone who is a really great person and treats me good -- but there is no passion -- and learn to live with it, or do I end the relationship? -- NOT SURE WHAT TO DO IN CANADA

DEAR NOT SURE: You might as well end the relationship now because sooner or later you will become bored and it will end anyway. The man you’re seeing deserves to have some-one who fully appreciates what he has to offer, which you seem unable to do. Continue dating “bad boys” until you fi -nally stop confusing anxiety and disappointment with excite-ment. You appear to be one of those women who has to learn what’s important through pain. You have my sympathy. DEAR ABBY: My husband (second marriage) keeps in touch with his ex-wife. At one point, it was several times a day. I expressed my concerns to him and told him I didn’t like it and saw no need for it. It stopped -- but only for a while. I know, because I check his call and text log. I know I shouldn’t do that, but recently I found some text messages saying, “Sorry I haven’t called you.” That’s not what’s bothering me, though. It’s how they signed off. She writes, “Love you,” and he writes, “Love you mostest!” Abby, that’s what he says to me. How do I talk to him about this? I snooped. -- SNOOPED ON THE EAST COAST DEAR SNOOPED: I don’t blame you for feeling hurt and threatened by this. Almost any woman would. When he’s in a relaxed mood and you can talk without interruption, ask him if he is still in love with his ex-wife. If he says no, ask why he feels the need to remain in communication with her and why he’s telling her he loves her “mostest.” Expect him to go on the attack because you snooped. But you wouldn’t have done it if your intuition hadn’t made you feel insecure. And it turns out you were right.

plants that have challenged the power purchase agreement between Berlin Station and Public Ser-vice of N.H. in the state Supreme Court. He said the parties and the IPPs were close to an agreement when the biomass plants increased their demands. Cate Street Capital, which controls Berlin Station, had a June 30 deadline to have the appeal withdrawn.

“In the end it was greed beyond belief that stopped this project,” Grenier said.

Grenier said the parties have been negotiating for months with Gov. Lynch leading the effort to get an agreement. He said there had been fi ve meetings within the last two weeks.

The mayor said Cate Street Capi-tal needed an agreement in place by June 30 because its construction contract with Babcock and Wilcox expires this month and would have to be re-negotiated. He said PSNH had agreed to give the biomass plants short-term power purchase agreements which were a main demand. But then, Grenier said at the eleventh hour the biomass plants made additional demands. In particular, he singled out Whitefi eld Power and Light for its demand for cash payments. Whitefi eld was not seeking a short term power pur-chase agreement.

Cate Street Capital Spokesman Scott Tranchemontagne said White-fi eld Power and Light requested over $13 million in cash payments for their plant.

Grenier said Whitefi eld Power and Light, which is owned by Korea East-West Power, is an example of a foreign company interfering with

North Country business.Grenier said all parties suffer

from the collapse of the Berlin Sta-tion. He said there will be no short term power agreements that the smaller biomass plants say they need to survive. Nor, he said, will legislators work to make changes in the Renewable Energy Portfolio to benefi t the IPPs.

Berlin Station loses the millions of dollars it has invested in the proj-ect. The region loses the 40 direct jobs and hundreds more logging and forest jobs it was projected to create. Over 300 people would have worked on construction of the plant. Grenier said the failure of the proj-ect will hurt Isaacson Structural Steel which has already fi led for bankruptcy protection.

Councilor Tom McCue, an oppo-nent of a biomass plant on the mill property, said he appreciated Cate Street Capital’s efforts in Berlin. He said they walked into a hornet’s nest when they took over the proj-ect and really tried to contribute to the community and region.

Councilor Mike Rozek said he wished the previous city council had been more uniform in its sup-port of the biomass project. He said a majority of the community sup-ported it and Berlin deserved the project.

Tranchemontagne said the June 30 deadline was agreed to by all the parties more than a month ago. He said now that the Public Utilities Commission has rejected all of the IPPs concerns about the project, they are desperately cling-ing to whatever leverage they have against PSNH by stalling the proj-ect further by appealing to the Supreme Court
