by David Flint
Although Berlin School District taxpayers voted in December to approve floating a bond of $5 million to fix up school buildings, when it came time for the School Board to actually authorize the financing, the votes were lacking.

Trout Unlimited had demonstrations on fly tying and fly fishing, and there was a 4-H Shooting Sports exhibit on gun safety. That was just for starters.
