AutoServ opens gym for employee & customer use TILTON — Working, waiting for your car, and working out for health are all possible now that the AutoServ company of Tilton has put in a stateof-the-art gymnasium above the Quick Service portion of the dealership. The AutoServ Fitness Center, said owner Donna Hosmer, is to provide their 150 employees plus their customers a place to get some exercise. “To have a meaningful impact an employer needs to invest in the wellness of their staff,” Hosmer said yesterday while giving a tour of the facility. Sen. Andrew Hosmer said that as the AfforaUsed Car Manager Mike Tessier looks over the new gymnasium at Auto Serv in Tilton with Carolyn dable Care Act begins Gaudet and Fitness Trainer Katie Sokol.

It was just before 11 a.m. last Friday night when Shania was awakened by what she thought was a squirrel or some other kind of animal in the attic. She woke her parents, who went into the living room and realized the fire in the wood stove had burned through the chimney and the attic was on fire. The family was able to safely leave the home and call 9-1-1, but there is about $80,000 of damage to the structure that Becky Mulley said could take months to repair. The family was taken in at the Marriott and Becky Mulley, Shania’s mother, said the staff and management there have “been absolutely wonderful.” The hotel staff gave the family the use of the pool for
Shania’s party and put a “Happy Birthday Shania” sign in the lobby. Robert Mulley, Shania’s father, said he and his family have been treated wonderfully by the entire community. “I think at least 20 people have reached out and offered us a place to live,” he said. Becky Mulley also wanted to thank the community — especially the Marriott and the Belmont Fire Department, to whom she brought cookies yesterday. “Even the insurance company has been wonderful,” Becky Mulley said. The Mulleys will be staying at the Marriott until the 28th of January when they will begin renting a home in Gunstock Acres in Gilford Shania, a junior at Belmont High School, has her drivers license and will be able to drive herself to school. “She is my angel,” said Becky Mulley.
from preceding page A bill in the Alaska House would make it a misdemeanor for a federal agent to enforce new restrictions on gun ownership. While such proposals are eye-catching, they likely could never be implemented. “The legislature can pass anything it wants,” said Sam Kamin, a constitutional law professor at the University of Denver. “The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution makes that clearly unconstitutional. Where there’s a conflict between state and federal law, the federal government is supreme.” Kamin and other legal experts said such disdain of Obama’s proposals is reminiscent of former Confederate states’ refusal to comply with federal law extending equal rights for blacks after the Civil War. The National Sheriff’s Association has supported administration efforts to combat gun violence after the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings. President Larry Amerson, sheriff of Calhoun, Ala., said he understands the frustrations of people in rural areas with the federal government. But he feels his oath of office binds him to uphold all laws.
“Any sheriff who knows his duty knows we don’t enforce federal law, per se,” said Amerson, a longtime firearms instructor and hunter. Some rural sheriffs view the federal government as an adversary, with gun ownership at the core of that belief. In Minnesota, Pine County Sheriff Robin Cole sent an open letter to residents saying he did not believe the federal government had the right to tell the states how to regulate firearms. He said he would refuse to enforce any federal mandate he felt violated constitutional rights. The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, based in Fredericksburg, Texas, encourages that point of view. Founder Richard Mack, a former sheriff of Apache County, Ariz., speaks regularly at gatherings of Tea Party groups and gun rights organizations. “I will tell Mr. Obama and everybody else who wants to impose gun control in America, that whether you like it or not, it is against the law,” said Mack. “Now we have good sheriffs who are standing up and defending the law against our own president.”
