Littleton Chevrolet and Crosstown Motors
purchase $38,000 of tax credits
LITTLETON — Littleton
Chevrolet
and
Crosstown
Motors purchased $38,000 in
tax credits from The Morrison
assisted living and skilled nursing care facility to support facility
improvements.
Pat
Blackmore, Chief Financial
Officer, of the L & T Auto
Group, which includes Littleton
Chevrolet
and
Crosstown
Motors and five dealerships in
Vermont said, “The owners,
Ronney Lyster and Abel Toll
chose to use the CDFA credits
from The Morrison because the
credits enable us to keep our tax
dollars local and help support a
facility that is dedicated to providing
quality
care
for
Alzheimer’s patients and their
families in a community homelike setting.”
The Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA)
awarded The Morrison $330,000
in tax credits this past February
for their Capital Campaign
Project. The Tax Credit
Program enables businesses to
invest cash, securities, or real
property to fund CDFAapproved projects in exchange
for a 75 percent state tax credit
that can be applied against the
New Hampshire business profits, business enterprise, and
insurance premium taxes.
The Morrison’s capital campaign goal of $1.5 million dollars
for the renovations has received
over one million and is hoping
more New Hampshire businesses like Littleton Chevrolet and
Crosstown Motors will take
advantage of this unique oppor-

June temperatures were near average and precipitation was above average. There were 22 days with precipitation. A severe thunderstorm passed
through the area on the fifth. This super cell caused tornados to our west
in Craftsbury, Vt., and to our east in Gorham, N.H. and South Paris, Me.
Looking ahead, summer reaches its maximum during July. It is also one
of the wettest months, with the heating of the atmosphere setting off frequent periods of rain. By the end of the month the average temperature
begins its slow decent that doesn’t stop until about the third week in
January. The record high for July was 95 degrees in 1977 and the record
low was 32 degrees in 1982.

through the summer” at Santa’s
Village, as she referred to the
huge bucket at the top of the
water park feature. Every few
minutes the huge bucket atop
the structure dumps many gallons of water onto a platform
splashing out over the ladders
and slides on the structure, and
over any children who may be
waiting below for the big splash.
With a brief warning bell, it was
interesting to see how quickly
children made their way to the
spot where the water was about
to fall.
Bruce Hicks, Marketing Elf,
said the park had come a long
way since the beginning in the
early 50’s, when a show featured
a chicken, and a cow eating out
of a bottle.
Each year the park has
added new features such as
Santa’s
Schoolhouse,
the
Blacksmith Shop where youngsters receive a hand-shaped
ring, St. Nick’s Chapel, Santa’s
Workshop, new playgrounds,
the Yule Log Flume and more,
always keeping in mind changes
necessary to insure visitors’
safety and comfort.
The park has been open for
13 years now, during the
Christmas season. This year
will be the first time they will be
open on New Years Eve. In addition to the Christmas season,
the park will be open for its second “The Ghosts of Christmas
Past” event in October.
Christian
Gainer,
Vice
President of Santa’s Village, and
son of Mike and Elaine Gainer,
told of a penguin splash pad
that was put in last year. It was
such a hit that they started to
look into other water park-type
structures.
Christian attended a World
Water Park Convention at
Disney’s Coronado Springs
Resort. There he took classes
and asked a lot of questions. The
decision was made to get a multi-deck playing structure that
would be constructed by White
Water International. This company had been building the
structure for over five years.
For the engineering part of
the
project,
Aquatic
Development Group in New
York was chosen.
Helpful in the project was an
American
Recovery
and
Reinvestment Act of 2009,
Recovery
Zone
Economic
Development Bond program
low-interest loan, which was
closed on only days before the
grand opening. Mr. Gainer
thanked Edith Tucker for the
heads-up on that funding
prospect.
Elaine Gainer said if “red
tape were Christmas ribbon,
Santa would never have to worry about wrapping presents
again.”
Christian Gainer continued
explaining that the builder of
the huge project was Air Tech of
New Jersey. With over 20 years
of experience in building waterparks on the East Coast, they
were the logical choice to do the
work. They worked on the project from February until just
before the grand opening of the
HO HO H2O.
It was noted that there was
more work that was done than
one could see above ground,
such as the 1,000 ft. of six-inch
pipe underground.
On May 3, White Water
Industries HO HO H2O was
delivered on five flatbed tractor
trailers, and five men, including
his dad, Mike, worked long and
hard to put it together safely.
Local companies involved in
the construction were: Ben
Gross; Lionel Cloutier of
Cloutier
Construction
of
Groveton; electrician Fred
Davis; Ken Bronson who does
cement work; Mike Gray did
excavation; Maine Turf workers
provided guidance through some
rainy spring days, and all of
Santa’s helpers.
A master plan of project to
come has been made, and it will
be no surprise if this HO HO
H2O is a resounding success at
the Village.
Elaine Gainer introduced her
mother, Cecile Dubois, who at
91, is seen most days working at
the park. She is very proud of
what her family has done and
continues to do at Santa’s
Village. That was evident as she
spoke thanking her family and
friends and all those who work
at the Village, for all they have
done. Ms. Dubois then was
joined by Sen. John Gallus,
daughter
Elaine,
Poogie
Penguin, Owen, Austin, and
Lila Staley, Charlie Gainer,
Bridget Hilarides, Melanie
Gainer Staley, Wesley Gainer,
Rep. Evalyn Merrick, and
Brandy Cassady of Passumpsic
Savings Bank for a photo as she
cut the purple ribbon to officially open the grand multi-decked
HO HO H2O for all to enjoy.
Guests enjoyed a light luncheon following the ceremony.
A HO HO H2O Grand Opening was held at Santa’s Village on Saturday, June 26. Founder,
Cecile Dubois, center, cut the purple ribbon officially opening the new water park feature.

This baby robin was kicked out of its nest by momma. She
was teaching it how to fly on Sunday, July 4. This one and
siblings were flying into everything—parked cars, bulkheads,
car wheels. The mom was just running around them with a
worm in her mouth, like she was trying to bribe them. It was
funny to watch!

Relay-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Continued from Page 5)
Relay started in Berlin/Gorham
in 1998.
“Greater Berlin/Gorham area
residents really showed their
spirit this weekend,” said Sandy
Lemire, volunteer Committee
Co-Chair for the 2010 American
Cancer Society Relay For Life.
“Many cancer survivors (anyone
who has ever been diagnosed
with cancer) showed up to participate as well. It was very
touching and emotional for all of
us.”
The top individual fundraiser
was Donna Godin from Gorham,
who brought in over $2,210.
Second highest fundraiser was
Sandra Tanquay of Berlin, who
raised $2,126. Third highest
fundraiser was Linday Laperle
of Milan, who collected $1,989 in
donations.
The top fundraising team
was
Androscoggin
Valley
Hospital at an amazing $23,002.
Second highest team was
Storyland, raising an impressive $12,984, and the third highest fundraising team was an
outstanding effort by North
Country
Dental,
raising
$10,122. More than 300 people
participated—split into 15
teams and survivor guests. The
teams represented area businesses, clubs, and organizations.
Ms. Lemire said that money
raised in the 2010 Relay For
Life will be used to speed up the
search for new weapons to fight
cancer. “Cancer will soon
become the number one killer in
America as baby boomers grow
older. In order to expand our
patient services in the North
Country and research new ways
to treat patients, we’ve got to
channel more public attention
and money into this problem.”

Daytona leaving the 12th-place
position the target of many. Carl
Edwards occupies the 12thplace position in the Sprint Cup
standings. It’s eight races before
the Chase for the Sprint Cup
begins at New Hampshire Motor
Speedway in September. PostDaytona there’s only 144 points
separating tenth-place Greg
Biffle from 15th-place Ryan
Newman. As you zoom in things
get even tighter: Edwards leads
Mark Martin by only 39 points,
Clint Bowyer by 49 and
Newman by 80.
• What They’re Saying •
• “I think our sport has just
become a lot more aggressive
because competition is so much
closer. With the leash let off,
everybody wants to gain that
position and you have to get
aggressive to pass because the
competition is so close.
Sometimes you make mistakes
and you run into guys and people get mad and things escalate
from there. It seems to get more
exciting every week and it
seems like we come home with
more bent fenders every week.
So that’s okay, as long as it’s
good to watch and everybody is
racing hard, that’s what it’s all
about.” Kevin Harvick.
