No Boo Hooing on Halloween, here's something fun to do that benefits a great cause

Spooktacular Halloween Dinner/Dance Berlin, NH VFW Hall. 
October 31st 5pm to Midnight 

Fun-filled evening to benefit 2 year old Emily Masters.  Emily has hydrocephalus as well as a severe brain abnormality in which more than half of her brain was damaged and never developed. She is now two years old and can't walk, talk, is legally blind and now has to be fed strictly through a tube. She also has a seizure disorder. Emily, despite all of these challenges has one of the most unique little personalities on the planet. She coos and laughs and her little eyes light up and you just know that she’s, above all, a truly beautiful little angel, right here on earth. Every moment with her is not just a blessing, it’s a miracle. Besides the expense of taking her to Boston for appointments, she often requires long stays in Boston that require parking costs, extensive copays as well as transportation/food etc for Mom and Dad. Emily requires therapy four days per week. Emily’s insurance only covers so many therapy visits per year and within just a few months, the therapy is paid out-of-pocket. Emily also needs special equipment that is not covered fully by medical insurance such as a stander, wheelchair and special seats for bathing, sitting and will need a handicap bed. Emily’s home also needs modifications to become handicap accessible as she grows and her parents have more and more trouble carrying her.

N.B. The "newberlinblog" is now an independent site where comment is 'controlled' by the speaker... kind of resembles the old soviet union. Isvestia
or Pravda, I can not decide...

The question's were directed at our
Realtor/Assessor, but I doubt a consultancy firm will operate a Biomas facility where the "rubber meets the road"...or do you think we believe 15 consultants will actually get their hands dirty on a day to day basis?

[KDPaine]

For the record. I have no affiliation with Green Power, the city of Berlin, or any other entity pro or against the Laidlaw project. I do have 15 employees that work within site of the proposed Laidlaw biomass plant and will move those jobs out of town the moment that biomass plant is approved. So for starters, the net number of jobs is actually 25.

Greed, EH?... word on the street is you know a thing or two about that topic.

Recuse Thyself

To the Editor,

Is there a conflict of interest for a local realtor to serve on the Berlin Board
of Assessor's. Whether perceived or actual,
is it a further Conflict of Interest, if
not Procedure for a Berlin Realtor cum Assessor to vociforously oppose the potential Industrial future of Berlin's
Boiler and Stack, with the possible thought
of His own Property Value in mind?
If this former Industrial site were razed, and even only...just maybe, landscaped, would a cetain "Fair Market
Value" increase? Local employment be gone!
After all, it's only 40 lousy jobs we're
talking about...which is more important?
Or is a prompt Recusal in order?

J'accuse!

Warren Horsfield

...never printed...something smells in
Berlin and we can not blame the Mill any
more! seeing that you have the FULL protection of the press in Berlin, but not
here, please state All Financial interest
in the Clean Power Land purchase and else
where as it may be applicable...and lets
start shooting straight shall we!

The address of a new blog I've started needed to be changed as follows:

http://anewberlin.blogspot.com/

I plan to dedicate most of this blog to obtain regional ideas for Berlin's Burgess mill site. Please notice I've stated "Berlin's Burgess Mill Site" as I believe Berlin does indeed have a great deal of control over the future of this site as a result of a great deal of hard work throughout NH in evaluating the impact this site actually has on the entire state's natural resource: wood. Biomass is not at all inevitable on the Burgess mill site any more than it ever was. NH has a keen eye on the development of this site and there is promise that this site will eventually hold a much more valuable use than that of biomass.

Mr. Bartoszek,

Maybe you do have a signed rate sheet, and that would make the PSNH attorney's statement false...or let's see...in this day and age...perhaps he just misunderstood Gary Long and quoted inaccurately under oath before the PUC that such an agreement was simply a "twinkle in Laidlaw's eyes". You're damn right I'm furious about the negative situation these two businesses are creating for NH.

Don't even begin to state that people around the state of NH are making something out of nothing. There is a company here that isn't shooting straight with NH. Laidlaw's reputation in Ellicotteville, a bankruptcy, along with numerous PR statements that have not come to fruition would lead anyone to be on the defensive and have the right to be on the defensive to protect the town or city they live in. Perhaps in your mind a rate sheet, still under negotiation according to a PSNH attorney who is under oath trying to prove PSNH isn't favoring one company over the other, is a power purchase agreement but somehow I have to think that you know a power purchase agreement is significantly more than that and if you did not not know that, you should have known that. Instead headlines impressed upon NH the words "Power Purchase Agreement" from PR statements your company released while the attorney representing PSNH is dancing around different details that contradict what you say as reported by the Daily Sun as follows, and as also witnessed by those in attendance of the meeting.

from today's Daily Sun PUC article:

Bersak said PSNH does not have a
contract with Laidlaw but has agreed
to a term sheet for a 20-year contract
and is still negotiating price. He said
any contract would be subject to Laidlaw
obtaining all the necessary permits
and the approval of the PUC.
“The Laidlaw deal is, I guess, a twinkle
in Laidlaw’s eyes at this point. But we’ll
continue to negotiate,” Bersak said

Either the price of the term sheet is still under negotiation or it isn't. If it's not under negotiation, why is a PSNH attorney under oath stating such, and going so far as to say the deal is nothing more than a "twinkle in Laidlaw's eyes" Would an attorney, under these extreme circumstances stick his neck out to that extent of that detail?

As mentioned, this is a huge Berlin and New Hampshire situation where this huge 300 foot stack stands to sit idle in the way of Berlin's progress for years on overly promising PR statements that just are statistically not happening. In the mean time this situation is effectively blocking the most energy efficient biomass project potentially in the country and thumbing its nose right at the governor's 2025 initiative all over one word: GREED!
