Editorial North Country Notebook The government shutdown ell, as of this writing the federal govern- ment has shutdown. Well, not really. Those Wservices deemed essential services—ac- tive duty military, most of Homeland Security, So- cial Security, Medicare, Medicaid and a host of other services and programs will continue though some at reduced capacity. Mail will also continue as the Postal Service, being its own self-sufficient, if not en- tirely solvent entity, will be unaffected. In total about 800,000 out of 3 million federal workers will be furloughed—including 85,000 out of 94,000 workers at the IRS, a blessing in disguise some will quip. State and local governments will remain unaffected. While many people across the country outside the government will be affected by the shutdown, we suspect most people will notice no immediate difference in their daily lives. Govern- ment, especially the federal government, still plays a tiny role in most people’s day-to-day lives and that is how it should be.

Jasper rhyolite fluted points found at salvage dig By Edith Tucker [email protected] JEFFERSON — State arche- ologist Dr. Richard “Dick” Bois- vert launched a weeklong major salvage excavation on Friday at the Applebrook Bed & Break- fast on Route 115A. The Passumpsic Savings Bank, which was forced to foreclose on the business that went into bankruptcy when tourism stalled during recent hard times, has found a quali- fied buyer and agreed to install a new septic system directly on top of one of the more import- ant areas in the general area in which he had previously dug with students and other profes- sionals over several summers, Boisvert explained. “To their great credit—and to my relief — the Bank has given me access to do the sal- vage work until this coming Friday,” the archeologist ex- plained. “I’ve called in favors and appealed to the goodwill of colleagues from across New England, including a number of contract professional archeol- ogists who have squeezed out time from their busy schedules to mount an Octoberfest-like operation.” Some 18 very qualified peo- ple showed up, ready to work over the weekend and some into the next week, Boisvert said. They set up tents behind the Applebrook, now outfitted with a porta-potty, and took ad- vantage of the excellent sunny fall weather. “We found two Paleo-Indian fluted points, made from Mt. Jasper rhyolite from Berlin, that were so worn out that the early peoples must eventually have jettisoned them,” Boisvert ex- plained. “It turns out that that old New England saying, ‘Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without,’ goes back in spirit some 12,000 years.” The salvage diggers also found a possible ‘fireplace’ and the archeologists have taken all it out of the site, leaving a small depression in its stead. “We’ll take it all back to the lab for further examination,” Boisvert explained.

Wednesday. October 2, 2013 Sudden death field hockey By Jonathan Benton [email protected] BERLIN — The Berlin Field Hockey squad faced their most tight fisted game of the season against Winnisquam on Sep- tember 4 leaving it up to sud- den death goal in overtime to name the Lady Mounties the 1-0 victors. It all went down in the first 15-minute overtime. Players were pulled off the field for the downsized seven on seven and had a lot of ground to cover. It was the field hockey equivalent of a cage match. Players were working so hard that it was a common sight to see a player make one last pass or block before falling to the grass in ex- haustion. At 10:40 left in the first OT Berlin had their first good opportunity after some solid teamwork. Midfielder Emily Landry sent the ball upfield to Jensyn Dandeneau and then to Myra Arsenault who came up from the left wing for a shot that the blue bear keeper made a big save. From 8:30 on Winnisquam worked a number of penal- ty-corners that Berlin Goalie

The first half was a back and forth battle over the mid- dle two-thirds of the field. Both sides would sport three shots on net, but Gorham had the ad- vantage on set plays with four corner-kicks to Littleton’s zero. The Huskies were on the hunt in the second half leaving it up to the acrobatics of keeper Ethan Ellingwood to keep Little- ton in the game. It was about six minutes into the second half that Husky Kyle Boisselle flicked a beauti- ful crossing shot off the cross bar and into the fray in front of the net. Chris DesFosses caught hold of the ball for a hard shot that Ellingwood pushed over

“We got the offense go- ing, but just couldn’t put the ball by [Ellingwood],” - Gorham Coach Bill Goodrich. the net. The corner kick was taken by Jarred Stewart over to teammate Bryson Raymond, but his shot went just wide. The game came to a climax at 8:22 into the second when Boisselle was pulled down in the box awarding Gorham a penalty kick. Brady Fauteux took the shot and sent the only ball to pass by Ellingwood for the eventual game winner. Gorham was simply domi- nating the field with the only Littleton surge occurring when Sam Sjostrom and Desfosses were subbed off the field. The Crusaders made the most of hit taking two corner kicks in a row which were cleared. With less then ten minutes left to play Ellingwood made an impressive save off a redirected header sent in by Boisselle, but the bout would still go to Gor- ham. For the game Gorham took 22 shots, eight corner-kicks and Tyler Sanschagrin made six saves while Littleton had 10 shots, three CK’s and Elling- wood made nine saves. “We got the offense going, but just couldn’t put the ball by [Ellingwood],” said Gorham Coach Bill Goodrich. “Every- body on the field was contribut- ing especially Sam and Bryson who were definitely not playing like freshmen today.”

The first half the wind was in Littleton’s favor, but even so Gorham got on the board deceptively early. The Lady Huskies started with the ball and 20 seconds in a give and go brought Leslee Kenison and Lily Keenan down the field with the ball. Kenison sent a through pass to the middle past a de- fender where Keenan collected it for a high center shot from the 18.
