Meredith budget now includes wage ‘adjustments’ for employees

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — At their final budget workshop, Selectmen agreed to a 2011 budget that will limit the amount raised by property taxes to 2010 levels but will give employees a one-time wage adjustment totaling $72,500.

No specific details about how the extra pay would be distributed were discussed.

Other changes from 2010 to 2011 will be to buy the police department two cruisers instead of one and increase the welfare budget by $10,000 — from $120,000 to $130,000.

“There is even some question that it will be enough,” said Chair Chuck Palm who noted the reason for the recommended increase is that it appears the town will exceed last year’s $120,000 by about $2,300.

Selectmen agreed that any amount of the

recommended appropriations that would exceed the number Meredith raised by taxes last year would come from the unreserved fund balance (rainy day fund).

Selectman charged Town Administrator Phil Warren with five goals during the 2011 budget process: maintain 2010 service levels; not add any new positions; not add any new programs; hold tight on equipment purchases see MeRedItH page 13

Formation of non-profit corporation seen as needed because forprofit business is not going to step forward

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — City Manager Eileen Cabanel told the City Council last night that if a private entity was going to acquire and reopen the Colonial Theater, “it would have happened by now. There isn’t an entity coming in to buy it,” she said.

Instead, she outlined a process by which the city, in partnership with a committee still to be formed and convened, would “package” the project for a non-profit corporation to own and operate.

The city holds a $1.4-million option to purchase the downtown theater complex that expires in the fall.

The partnership process will be presented in detail by see COLONIaL page 9

Welcome to The Studio and, yes, this is Laconia

LACONIA — For artists like Melissa McCarthy, who do not feel inspired to paint a lakeside landscape or a watercolor of lilac bushes, the Lakes Region can feel like an unwelcome place to work.

McCarthy jokingly refers to herself as “trans-genred,” and much of her work falls under the categories of conceptual,

non-representative and performance art.

When she opened The Studio here in July of 2009, McCarthy saw herself as providing something the region was lacking, a place for fans of “not your grandmother’s art” to congregate, create and display their work. In an effort to develop the community around The Studio, McCarthy’s

business has played host to classes and events, such as yoga and belly dancing classes, a hula hoop making class held on Thursday, January 13, and a Tuesday evening acoustic music series organized

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, once considered among the nation’s most powerful and feared lawmakers, was sentenced to three years in prison Monday for a scheme to influence elections that already cost him his job, leadership post and millions of dollars in legal fees.

The sentence comes after a jury in November convicted DeLay, a Houston-area Republican, on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering for using a political action committee to illegally send corporate donations to Texas House candidates in 2002.

Prosecutors said DeLay will likely be free for months or even years as his appeal makes it through the Texas court system.

Before being sentenced, DeLay repeated his longstanding claims that he did nothing wrong, the prosecution was politically motivated and that he never intended to break the law. DeLay was consee DELAY page 9

Tuscon shooting suspect brought into court Jared Loughner tells judge he could be put to death for murder of federal judge; one of 6 who died PHOENIX (AP) — Jared Loughner, head shaved, a cut on his right temple and his hands cuffed, stared vacantly at a packed courtroom Monday and sat down.

His attorney, who defended “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski, whispered to him.

It was the nation’s first look at the 22-year-old loner accused of trying to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

The three-term Democrat lay about a 100 miles away in a Tucson intensive care unit, gravely wounded after being shot through the head but able to give a thumbs-up sign that doctors found as a reason to hope.

Loughner seemed impassive and at one point stood at a lectern in his beige prison jumpsuit. A U.S. marshal stood guard nearby.

The judge asked if he understood that he could get life in prison — or the death penalty — for killing federal Judge John Roll, one of six who died in the shooting rampage at Giffords’ outdoor meeting with constituents Saturday in Tucson.

“Yes,” he said. His newly appointed lawyer, Judy Clarke, stood beside him as the judge ordered Loughner held without bail.

Throngs of reporters and television news crews lined up outside the federal courthouse, where the hearing was moved from Tucson.

The entire federal bench there recused itself because Roll was the chief judge.

President Barack Obama will travel to Arizona on Wednesday to attend a memorial service for the victims, a senior administration official told The Associated Press.

The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the president’s trip had not been publicly announced.

Earlier in the day, the nation observed a moment of silence for the victims, from the South Lawn of the White House and the steps of the U.S. Capitol to legislatures beyond Arizona and the planet itself. At the International Space Station, Giffords’ brother-in-law, Scott, the commanding officer, spoke over the radio as flight controllers in Houston fell silent.

“As I look out the window, I see a very beautiful planet that seems very inviting and peaceful,” he said. “Unfortunately, it is not.

“These days, we are constantly reminded of the unspeakable acts of violence and see TUSCON page 10

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Doctors treating U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said Monday the congresswoman was responding to verbal commands by raising two fingers of her left hand and even managed to give a thumbs-up.

Giffords, 40, is in critical condition in the intensive care unit of Tucson’s University Medical Center after she was shot through the head Saturday during a meet-andgreet with voters outside a supermarket.

Two patients were discharged Sunday night. Eight others, including Giffords,

remained hospitalized.

Recent CAT scans showed no further swelling in the brain, but doctors were guarded.

“We’re not out of the woods yet,” said her neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Lemole. “That swelling can sometimes take three days or five days to maximize. But every day that goes by and we don’t see an increase, we’re slightly more optimistic.”

After Saturday’s operation to temporarily remove half of her skull, doctors over the past two days had Giffords removed

from her sedation and then asked basic commands such as: “Show me two fingers.”

“When she did that, we were having a party in there,” said Dr. Peter Rhee, adding that Giffords has also managed to give doctors a thumbs-up and has been reaching for her breathing tube, even while sedated.

“That’s a purposeful movement. That’s a great thing. She’s always grabbing for the tube.”

Giffords family is by her side and is receiving constant updates from doctors. see GIFFORDS page 12

N.H. Democrats urge GOP House leaders to drop effort to oust lawmaker CONCORD (AP) — A GOP effort to oust a Democratic Party worker from the House threatens the principle behind New Hampshire’s volunteer, citizen Legislature, state Democratic leaders said Monday.

House Democratic Leader Terie Norelli said New Hampshire lawmakers get $100 in pay a year — an amount set in the constitution — so most have to have outside jobs.

“But it is truly a sad day for our citizen Legislature when we force people to decide whether they should earn a living for their families or honorably serve their communities,” said Norelli, of Portsmouth.

The Legislature is a volunteer citizen body that’s made up of lawyers, real estate agents, retirees, doctors, housewives, students, business owners and others. Paid staff of both parties have served in the House over the years.

“You name it, we’ve got them here in the New Hampshire Legislature,” Norelli said.

She said ethics rules were developed so lawmakers can declare when they have a conflict.

The Republican-controlled House voted last

Wednesday to investigate state Rep. Mike Brunelle of Manchester, who is the Democratic Party’s executive director. Republicans complain that bills he’s filed will benefit Democrats.

But Democrats say his bills to raise the minimum wage, give tax credits to small business and protect jobs at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard don’t directly benefit Brunelle or the party.

“All Mike Brunelle has done is advocate for the people of his district and New Hampshire,” said former Democratic Party Chairwoman Kathy Sullivan.

Sullivan said Republicans are attempting to disenfranchise the Manchester voters who elected Brunelle to represent them.

Democrats called on Republican House Speaker William O’Brien of Mont Vernon to end the investigation into Brunelle and refocus on issues important to voters: jobs and the economy.

Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, D-Manchester, said the vitriolic rhetoric does not serve the public. He urged O’Brien to end it immediately “lest we end up expelling half of our state Legislature.”

In response, House Republican Leader D.J. Bettencourt said the petition against Brunelle is now before the appropriate legislative committee. He declined to comment on the petition’s merits.

The committee holds its organizational meeting Tuesday and a hearing on Brunelle’s case Thursday. Democrats complained that is a rush to judgment, they don’t know what process will be used to judge Brunelle and they don’t know who will testify against him.

Bettencourt said the petition must be heard because it raises important constitutional questions about representatives’ employment. He cited a constitutional prohibition against being paid and acting as an advocate. He said he hopes the committee — at the least — provides clear guidelines on avoiding conflicts that violate the constitution.

But Sullivan said Republicans are relying on a constitutional provision that doesn’t fit the situation. She said it was written in 1792 when the Legislature served as an appellate court. Lawmakers who see NH HOUSE page 9

MANCHESTER (AP) — A man who raced his wife to the hospital to have their son is bemoaning the slow pace of justice as he fights the ticket he got driving 102 mph in a 55 mph zone.

“He’ll be driving by the time we’re done,” said John Coughlin of Londonderry, looking down at his fourmonth-old son, Kyle, in his car seat as he stood in the lobby of a Manchester courhouse.

Coughlin will return to court April 4 to fight the ticket. According to a police prosecutor, he faces up to a $1,000 fine and a 30-day suspension of his driver’s license because of the rate of speed involved.

“I can’t lose my license for that long,” said Coughlin, who works in Massachusetts but declined to say where because he’s afraid the media will call him at work.

Coughlin, 32, was supposed to be in court Jan. 3, but mistakenly showed up on Jan. 4 instead. He and his wife, Angela, were at Manchester District Court Monday to answer to the citation he got for failing to appear when he was supposed to.

He was given the April court date after paying a $50 fine for his error.

The Coughlins’ plight has made national headlines.

Angela Coughlin said she finds it all “overwhelming.”

“It’s amazing what one e-mail to a local station can snowball into,” she said. “It was from me, and my husband was so mad.”

Angela Coughlin said it didn’t seem like her husband was moving that fast en route to the hospital Sept. 18, but hastened to add, “My eyes were shut and I was screaming. I didn’t notice anything.”

When John Coughlin saw the flashing blue lights of a police cruiser in his rearview mirror that night, he dialed 911 to explain the circumstances. The police chase then turned into a police escort to the hospital. The trooper stayed around long enough to congratulate the Coughlins on the birth of their son

and hand John Coughlin a speeding ticket.

Coughlin called the court process “long, exhausting and it seems very unnecessary. I just want it to be over with.”

Asked if he would have done anything differently, Coughlin said, “No. I still get these guys to the hospital.”

Structural violence Everyone is quite familiar with direct violence because it is highly visible either during its commission or afterward. People being beaten, blown up, shot or stabbed can easily be captured on film or their bloodied, lifeless bodies after the fact can bear witness to what was done to them at some earlier point in time.

What is not so obvious or easily measureable is “structural violence” defined by Johan Galtung, Norwegian mathematician and sociologist and a principal founder of the discipline of peace and conflict studies, as “not carried out by individuals but is hidden to a greater or lesser extent in structures. An example of this might be the injustices of the worldwide system for the trade in goods, which creates more and more starving people every year.” It is a type of violence that is woven into the fabric of society and is manifested by unequal distribution of power, income and social, educational and economic opportunities.

It is synonymous with social injustice. Poverty, hunger, untreated illness, all the –isms (racism, sexism, ageism, etc.), the lack of universal health care, white, male privilege; glass ceilings, racial profiling, gentrification and housing discrimination, the death penalty, overrepresentation of minorities in special education, prisons and death row; zero tolerance and tracking policies in schools, the criminalization of children and mandatory-minimum jail sentences could all qualify as structural violence.

Dr. N.V.S .Suryannarayana, a renowned faculty member in the Department of Education at Andhra University Campus in Vizianagaram, India, has identified several other forms of structural violence that include subtypes such as economic (economic marginalization and exclusion, exploitation of water and land), political (military occupation, denial of self-determination), cultural (stereotyping, discrimination of women, imposition of foreign cultures’ value systems, authoritarianism, glorification of militarism and destruction of cultural heritage sites), religious (fundamentalism and demonization of religions) and environmental (pirating and diversion of water resources, deforestation, illegal dumping of toxic waste, restriction of movement of certain people and damaged infrastructure Many see structural violence inherent within capitalism. Complementing structural violence is “cultural violence” which Galtung associates with “The Stars and Stripes, Hammer and Sickle, flags, hymns, military parades, portraits of the leader, inflammatory speeches and posters….” These phenomena help to perpetuate the system and allow the exploited to justify their unshared sacrifices through patriotism, honor and duty.

For example, one sees very few

children of CEOs and congressmen serving in Iraq or Afghanistan because the privileged class are not expected to get their hands dirty. That’s the job of the unwashed masses. The filing and sorting system that society has in place determines the tracks that its citizens will follow. As the saying goes about war: who pays? = the middle class; who dies? = the poor; who benefits? = the rich. Universal national service could help correct this.

Wealth needs something to measure itself against in order for it to be exalted. Thus, without legions of poor and oppressed people, the rich would be at a loss to explain their success and relish in it. Therefore, we have underdogs and topdogs.

The topdogs keep everyone else controlled through the media mainly by distracting ordinary citizens from important issues that the topdogs claim to have under control. The lives of entertainers and sports in general keep people’s minds off critical issues that affect their lives so that they won’t meddle in them.

Noam Chomsky wrote a poignant piece on this issue entitled, “What makes mainstream media mainstream?” This process is so effective that many people will even support policies that hurt them just because they have been propagandized to think so. Powerful and sophisticated media can sway even intelligent people as it did in WW II Germany with master propagandist Josef Goebbels.

Structural violence also depends on “internalized oppression” or what Augusto Boal, Brazilian theater director, referred to as a “cop-in-thehead” whereby marginalized people beat up on themselves and become domesticated. Another technique used to distract people is to create objects to hate such as immigrants, liberals and homosexuals. One company I read about some years back deliberately told its workers that if they keep demanding more money and benefits, it would fire them and hire immigrants. Then the workers’ ire turned toward immigrants rather than their manipulative employers. The biggest fear of those who benefit from structural violence is that marginalized and fragmented people will see through the manipulation, band together and overthrow the system. Thus, it is important to keep marginalized people distracted and fighting with each other.

Dr. Robert C. Gilman, President of Context Institute, who warned about the “physical and psychological harm that results from exploitive and unjust social, political and economic systems” did a very thorough analysis of structural violence around the world and concluded that the level of structural violence is 60 times greater than the average number of battle related deaths see next page

LETTERS 3-person police force doesn’t need a 4,000-sq.-ft. police station To the editor, The Center Harbor selectmen are rushing forward with a bad plan for a proposed police station.

After spending two years and $150,000 of taxpayer money on an ill-conceived plan to put the proposed station in Morrill Park, they have reacted in a knee-jerk fashion.

The latest iteration from the selectmen is to spend an additional $200,000 to purchase private property in a residential zoned area on Route 25, then $20,000 to raze the existing private home on the lot and then build a 4,000-sq-ft police station at a potential cost of another $1,000,000.

The selectmen were unable to provide important basic information on associated costs for the proposed police station, such as insurance and annual maintenance. They also revealed that no appraisal for the lot was obtained nor do they intend to obtain one. Due diligence should be required in this case and to purchase a property with taxpayer money without an appraisal appears negligent.

A 4,000-sq.-ft. police station to service a town of less than 1,100 is ludicrous.

Center Harbor has three full-time

officers and yet this proposed station includes an interview room, a records/ reception room, a supervisor’s office, a chief-of-police office, a squad room, a break room, an interrogation room, a prisoner processing room, mens’ and womens’ locker rooms, an evidence storage room and a sally port/garage.

Additionally, the independent MRI study that the town commissioned made no recommendations for an expansion of the police force or station and simply recommended a few fixes including a more secure evidence storage area. Also, all of the minutes of the Space Needs Committee, the citizen group that was tasked with the job of finding the best potential location, clearly state that, if an addition is needed, it should be located at the present town offices. Although the selectmen argue that there is supporting data that an addition to the town office would be cost prohibitive no such data has been produced to date. It appears doubtful that the data actually exists.

What is proposed is way more than what is needed.

Do you think Rep. Worsman should be expelled? Neither do I To the editor, If you apply the Concord GOP leadership’s line of thinking, Meredith’s Rep. Worsman should also be removed from office. (Note: I am NOT arguing in favor of her removal; this is simply an application of the apparent new GOP rules.)

Wouldn’t the leadership argue that Rep. Worsman’s position on the Meredith Selectboard is a conflict of interest with her seat on the House Finance Committee? During budget deliberations, wouldn’t the GOP argue, won’t her desire to protect Meredith taxpayers be at odds with her job to look out for the state’s fiscal health?

I don’t think so. I think Rep. Worsman was elected by the voters of Meredith precisely because of her expertise derived from her experience as a selectperson and will do the job

she was elected to do: protect Meredith voters’ best interests.

Likewise, Rep. Brunelle — the Democratic Representative currently being called on to resign his seat in the House — was elected to represent his district’s best interests which simply happen to line up with some of the issues on the Democratic platform — a fact of which his supporters were certainly aware.

The GOP shenanigans in Concord are political theater at its worst. We have a state Constitution and the legislature has rules of order and procedure, all of which are being ignored — or worse, unilaterally rewritten — by the GOP leadership.

This is not the NH way!

LETTERS Public hearings scheduled on M’borugh steep slopes ordinance To the editor, On January 12 and 26, the Planning Board will hold public hearings on some proposed ordinances at the Moultonborough Town Hall at 7 p.m.

One of those ordinances refers to construction on Steep Slopes. The proposed Steep Slopes Ordinance was developed in response to work on the Moultonborough Master Plan in 1982, 1991, and 2008. The Master Plan clearly states that Moultonborough residents want to protect their lakes and streams and surface waters in all forms.

Runoff and the erosion it causes within a lake’s water shed are major contributors to reduced water quality. The intent of the ordinance is to

protect lakes and streams by regulating construction on slopes that have a gradient of 15-percent or more and where the disturbance is greater than 20,000-square-feet. Those who do want to construct on a steep slope will be asked to follow guidelines to manage stormwater runoff and erosion.

Please consider attending these public hearings if you have any questions about the proposed Steep Slopes Ordinance. As chair of the Moultonborough Conservation Commission, I ask for your support for this ordinance at the annual Town Meeting.

Marie T. Samaha, Chair Moultonborough Conservation Commission

Keep your guns but don’t carry them into our statehouse To the editor, Please tell me why it is NECESSARY for a bill to be created (costing taxpayers $1,500 just for the creation of that bill) to allow guns in our N.H. Statehouse to be carried by legislators and visiting citizens. I am certain the bill will not create employment or help our economy.

Every time a letter is sent in questioning why guns are necessary in the statehouse, the responses are around “rights”. That is not the issue at all in this case. It is around safety, only safety.

I can state with certainty that not every gun carrying citizen is “law abiding.” Guns do not belong in the statehouse, since everyone there could be at risk if an unbalanced individual decides to take out his/her frustrations on the lawmakers below him/her.

Keep your guns, keep your gun rights, but do not put our elected representatives in unnecessary danger.

Live free or die, but preferably not by getting shot in the statehouse.

Gun do not belong at American political rallies or events To the editor, Our heartfelt condolences, thoughts, and prayers go out to the victims of the horrific Arizona shooting and their families. It is truly a tragic and dark day for America when something like this can happen.

Guns do not belong at political rallies and events. Certainly, they do not belong at Congressional town meetings or similar events. Nor do they belong at the proceedings of deliberative bodies. It is much too dangerous given the level of hatred, anger, and

insanity that has overtaken American political discourse.

Given the events of this past weekend, we hope that the New Hampshire legislature will re-think allowing weapons in the statehouse if for no other reason than respect for those touched by the Tucson tragedy. In a free society, people need to feel safe from intimidation at political events and at the sessions of governmental bodies.

E. Scott Cracraft & Ellen M. McClung Gilford

from preceding page per year since 1965 (Sivard, 1982).

It is 1.5 times as great as the yearly average number of civilian and battle field deaths during the six years of World War II. Every four days, it is the equivalent of another Hiroshima. Perhaps the most hopeful aspect of this whole tragic situation is that essentially everyone in the present system has become a loser. The plight of the starving is obvious, but the exploiters don’t have much to show for their efforts either — not compared to the quality of life they could have in a society without the tensions generated by this exploitation. Especially at a national level, what the rich countries need now is not so much more material wealth, but the opportunity to live in a world at peace. The rich and the poor, with the help of modern technology and weaponry, have become each others’ prisoners. Today’s industrialized societies did not invent this structural violence, but it could not continue without our permission. This

suggests that to the list of human tendencies that are obstacles to peace we need to add the ease with which we acquiesce in injustice — the way we all too easily look in the other direction and disclaim “response ability.” In terms of the suffering it supports, it is by far our most serious flaw.

In conclusion, structural violence is antithetical to human development.

It hurts people, especially children, the impoverished and elderly, veterans, women and minorities. It even affects the wealthy in a negative way because it diminishes their humanity and causes them to expend a great deal of energy, time and money to maintain oppressive structures. We must explore ways to chip away at structural violence in order to end the culture of violence around the world so that we can raise human development to a new level.

LETTERS There’s been no time to determine if this nut job is ‘right’ or ‘left’ To the editor, Everyone in this country with a heart and soul has to be feeling sick to their stomach over the killing of six people and the 13 others injured by a crazy, deranged, evil person. Yet, the putrid, pusillanimous, partisan press breathlessly jumped to label this kook as “right wing”. Look, there are loads of disturbed people walking the streets of our country, every second of every day. Nevertheless, when it comes to our “mainstream media and opinion scribes”, there is no place for careful analysis, introspection or grieving for fear it might get in the way of their ignorant, prejudiced drive to label and crucify their ideological enemies. Of course, when Nadal Malik Hasan killed 13 fellow soldiers and wounded 32 others while shouting Allahu Akbar, the liberal media(the politically-correct gang that can’t talk straight), demanded restraint lest we wrongly attack a man of Islamic faith. So, it was deemed a man-caused disaster. Certainly, nothing as severe as a Tea Party incited massacre for goodness sake.

There has not been time for anyone to ascertain whether or not this nut job is “right-wing” or “left-wing”.

While Congresswomen Gabrielle Giffords lies in a medically-induced coma, battling brain swelling in an effort to survive, the primarily left wing media are using her as a literary cudgel to hammer away at the Tea Party and conservatives. According to their “insanely biased reporting” it is the superheated rhetoric of the hateful, bigoted Tea Party gang and those right-wing anarchists who precipitated this massacre. Never let a crisis, or in this case tragedy, go to waste, right?

The lowlife shooter’s name is Jared Lee Loughner. You’ve heard some vague references as to why he must be a right-wing nut. Here’s some for why he could just possibly be a leftwing nut: (1) a friend asserted that as of 2007, he saw him as definitely “leftwing”; (2) among his favorite books is the Communist Manifesto; (3) he flagged as his favorite video, a person dressed as a terrorist burning the American flag; (4) Politico published an excerpt from his video which includes a poem which talks about burning every old and every new flag that you see.

A friend of Giffords claimed on CNN that “the right” is to blame for creating a climate of hate in the state and said that the state was gun happy. Though the friend also admitted that Gabrielle is a gun owner herself and shoots.

People close to her claim she is a strong proponent of the 2nd amendment who has also taken a hard stance on illegal immigration.

Giffords, a highly respected, moderate Democrat, is a down to earth, rising star in the political world. Peter Gelzinis, columnist for the Boston Herald,

queries about what she got for being a Democratic member of Congress in a state ruled by Jan Brewer, the Republican governor hailed as the queen of the immigrant bashers. Peter goes on to say about those who wanted the Constitution to be read aloud, “They will see no connection between stoking the politics of anger and demonetization, and this one whack job with a gun who burst from a crowd, allegedly hellbent to kill a congresswoman who was only doing her job”. Perhaps Peter forgot to proofread his own column as he demonized Jan Brewer by mischaracterizing her as an immigrant basher when she is all for legal immigrants while trying to save her state from illegal aliens. He ends his laughably, incongruous column by hoping this tragedy “will bring us back to a kind of basic respect for one another that’s been missing for far too long”.

Would you like to lead by example Mr Gelzinis?

I think we all wish there was a movement to tone down the vitriolic, political attack dogs from the left and the right. I would love to see Democrats and Republicans pinky finger promise to do just that. However, in a free speech society, the lunatic fringe from the left and the right will always find speech and the written word to fuel their twisted minds. The editorial pages of this paper have often pointed out copious amounts of inflammatory speech from the left. Much more than from the right from what I’ve seen. In fact, many times I have seen name calling, demonetization and outright lies used by the left in the same article in which they claim only the right is acting that way. Demonizing of the right by the left, by politicians and the media is nothing new, but the virulent outbreak in the age of Obama has become pandemic. Perhaps, Peter Gelzinis believes that Professor William Ayers, unrepentant mad bomber of government buildings, is part of the lunatic fringe right. If so, then Peter, please do us all a favor and “exit, stage left”, joining Snagglepuss in his cave for the clueless and close-minded. I’m sure we can find some columnists who possess at least a modicum of common sense anchored in a solid base of reality who don’t think Saul Alinksy is the savior of our Republic. Otherwise, I might have to reluctantly agree with veteran psychiatrist, Lyle Rossiter who believes that the kind of liberalism being displayed by Barack Obama, his czars and many of his appointees can only be understood as a psychological disorder. I am not going to jump to any conclusions based on this man’s 40 years of research and treating patients. I will remain optimistic and hope it is only progressivism gone mad, curable by lots of tea. “Heavens to Murgatroyds”, what a concept!

LETTERS N.H. can’t allow itself to count on largess of federal government To the editor, The state budget is in a hole. The hole is more than a half billion dollars deep. The only question is how much more than a half billion dollars. Because of the lack of credibility of the players compounded by the lack of transparency in the process there really is no way to accurately determine the answer. We have been bickering about the right number for almost a year.

There needs to be a major rethink of how the budget is developed. We need to have a change to the process used to develop the budget because the lying about revenue stream has to stop.

Assumptions about future revenues need to be removed from the process. Got that?

If you can’t touch the dollar bills you can’t count them as money in the bank, available to be spent. Spending can no longer be authorized based on unrealistic assumptions about revenues.

We must stop being dishonest with adding assumptions about things such as asset sales to the revenue side of the budget. Borrowing can no longer be allowed to be counted as revenue because it is not revenue. Robbing from sinking funds, reserves and other designated funds and counting those things as revenue must be outlawed. The changing of the contribution requirements to the NHRS based on rates of return not demonstrated must be stopped. Lying to ourselves about the revenue available has to stop. We need to keep our accounting in the real world and away from the world of political discretion.

Before a budget can be set and approved we must have a reasonable belief that those funds will materi-

alize. That can be accomplished by ignoring projections remove them from the budget process. We are notoriously able to manipulate the number we want to see available for authorized spending. We need to start having self discipline.

We need to change the budget rules to hold our spending to a number not higher than the revenue actually collected in the prior budget period. If the legislature accepts legislative service requests for tax repeals or reductions then the level of authorized spending must be held below the level of prior period actual revenue less the proposed or contemplated reductions.

We can not allow ourselves to count on the largess of the federal government. We cannot expect that the federal government to not change the rules of various programs or to actually produce the same levels of funding from year to year. We need to cushion New Hampshire’s budget from the vicissitudes of the federal political process.

When it is finally announced that the federal government has to bailout California, Illinois and what ever else is determined to be too big to fail, and that will probably happen by midyear, it will impact New Hampshire.

Count on it. We need to be ready.

New Hampshire’s budget needs to be handled in a more transparent manner. There are consequences if we do not use better controls in determining what level of spending can be funded. Freedom comes from having the financial independence to allow us to have choices. Freedom isn’t free.

Just my honest opinion.

We couldn’t put on this wonderful dinner without a lot of help To the editor, The members and staff of the First United Methodist Church in Gilford would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all those who to helped make the Free Christmas Dinner a success once again in 2010. With the support of countless individuals from all over the Lakes Region as well as local businesses including: General Linen, Patrick’s Pub, Don Morin, Laconia Daily Sun, Laconia Citizen, Weirs UMC, and Walter’s Market, we were able to serve over 200 hundred meals at the church and delivered by volunteers.

The dinner was its usual festive occasion. Christmas carols were played and sung. Laughter filled the hall and everything was decked out in holiday finery. Over 100 folks ranging in age from 8 to 80 helped put on the meal. Crews worked to get things ready on Christmas Eve, serve and cook the meal on Christmas day and another crew came in after all the

fun was done just to clean up and put everything back in its usual place.

What a truly wonderful community we live in to have so many give of their time, talents and funds to make a special gathering possible for those who would otherwise be lonely or without on a day that is supposed to be one of the happiest in a year but too often turns out to be the saddest.

WE COULD NOT DO THIS YEAR AFTER YEAR WITHOUT EACH OF YOU. To our special Christmas friends, who have been with us year after year, and new friends just met in 2010 thank you for keeping our Christmas tradition alive. See you all for year 15 in 2011.....we’re counting on you!

With deepest gratitude, may 2011 be a year filled with grace and peace.

REAL ESTATE TAXES TOO HIGH? REAL ESTATE TAX ABATEMENT DEADLINE MARCH 1, 2011 As you may have read in recent business and economic reports, real estate tax assessments in many New Hampshire municipalities have not been reduced to reflect some very significant, if not drastic drops in current fair market values.

Laconia’s controversial 2010 re-assessment analyzed only 528 recent sales to construct a so-called statistical model and standard methodology to predict selling prices, and not a fee appraisal assessing each single property.

According to Stephan Hamilton, Director of the Property Appraisal Division of the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration “mass appraisal is not easy to do and not perfect. It is difficult to do at best, and especially with so few sales”.

State statutes require that real estate tax assessments be based on current fair market values. It is recommended that you review your current tax assessment given current market conditions, as you may find that your property is assessed disproportionally higher than current market value.

This office has successfully represented a number of property owners in central New Hampshire in recent months, whose tax assessments have been reduced, and in some cases, very substantially.

Should you conclude after reviewing your current assessment that your property may be over-assessed, and wish to consider filing for a Real Estate Tax Abatement, please contact our office for further information as to the process involved, and the terms of our representation of your interest.

Since the deadline for filing the Tax Abatement Application is Tuesday, March 1, 2011, and lead time is necessary to perform an appraisal, it is important to TAKE ACTION NOW, if you wish to file a Tax Abatement Application by March 1, 2011.

LRCC President Edelstein will retire in July

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Dr. Mark Edelstein yesterday announced that he will retire as president of Lakes Region Community College in July after five years at the helm.

Edelstein said “15 years in academic administration is a long stretch,” adding that when he was recruited for the position “I didn’t plan on a tenure of more than five years.”

Although he anticipates “travel, reading and writing,” he and his wife Susan intend to remain in Laconia and continue to participate in the affairs of the city and the region.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, January 11, 2011— Page 9

COLONIAL from page one Duncan Webb of Webb Management Services, the consultant hired to prepare a feasibility study, a public meeting at the Belknap Mill on Monday, January 31, beginning at 6 p.m.

“Where do we get the $1.4-million to buy it?” asked City Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5). “It’s not coming from the city.”

No one questioned Hamel’s presumption that the city would not contribute to the cost of purchasing the property.

Cabanel explained that funds would be gathered from a combination of different entities, including the Land and Community Heritage Program (LCHIP) and the Community Development Finance Corporation (CDFA). LCHIP, assuming the Legislature adequately funds the program, may award grants of up to $500,000 or half the assessed the value to purchase property. Each year the CDFA disDELAY from page 2 victed in Travis County, one of the most Democratic counties in Texas, which is one of the most Republican states in the country.

“I can’t be remorseful for something I don’t think I did,” DeLay said in a 10-minute speech to the judge.

DeLay told Senior Judge Pat Priest the “selective prosecution” he’s gone through has deeply affected his wife’s health, forced him to raise and spend $10 million in legal fees and cost him everything he has worked for — including the second-highest post in the U.S. House.

“This criminalization of politics is very dangerous.

It’s dangerous to our system. Just because somebody disagrees with you they got to put you in jail, bankrupt you, destroy your family,” he said.

Priest sentenced him to the three-year term on the conspiracy charge. He also sentenced him to five years in prison on the money laundering charge but allowed DeLay to serve 10 years of probation instead of more prison time.

“I do not agree that the Travis County District Attorney’s Office has picked on Tom DeLay to persecute,” Priest said.

DeLay was briefly taken into custody, but Priest granted a request from his attorneys that he be released on a $10,000 bond pending appeal. About three hours after he was sentenced, DeLay posted bond and walked out of the county jail without talking to reporters.

NH HOUSE from page 3 were lawyers acted on behalf of clients to advocate for issues and, at the same time, sit in judgment of the issues they were presenting. The amendment was to end that, she said.

Norelli said if Republicans go ahead and remove Brunelle, “we will not stand for that.” She said Democrats will fight the removal in the courts.

Brunelle’s lawyers delivered a letter to O’Brien late Monday afternoon requesting notice of the specific charges, a list of witnesses, an opportunity to see any exhibits, an opportunity to cross-examine witnesses and at least 60 days to prepare for a hearing.

Republicans hold 297 of the 400 state House seats; Democrats, 102. One seat is vacant. from preceding page education,” he remarked with a chuckle.

After four years in Sacramento, Edelstein became vice-president of academic affairs at the College of the Redwoods in northern California and five years later began his decade as president of Diablo Valley Community Collge in the Bay Area before returning to New Hampshire.

Edelstein said that he was drawn to Laconia by the prospect of taking part in “the redefinition of the community college” and because “we always planned an east coast, west coast retirement.” Looking forward to retiring in New Hampshire, he said that he has come to appreciate its “outdoors, history, heritage and sense of community, which is so different from what I’ve experienced in other parts of the country.”

“I hope I can still contribute to the college,” Edelstein said, “but I don’t want to get in the way of the next president.” Suggesting he might return to

tributes $5-million in credits against the Business Profits Tax, offering private companies a means of reducing their tax liabilities over a five-year period in return for investing in a qualifying project like the renovation and reopening of the theater. Cabanel said that the balance of the funds could be raised from a series of partners, including groups seeking to use the theater.

“We’re not looking for a sugar daddy,” Cabanel said. “We’re going to fill a pot of gold to do a project that wasn’t feasible for the private sector.”

Cabanel said that apart of exercising its option and purchasing the property, the city also needs to estimate the cost of reopening the theater. She noted that the project was expected to proceed in “manageable steps,” beginning with reopening the theater for a variety of events. This, she continued, will require removing the partitions that divide the auditorium as well as complying with building and life safety codes. Estimating these costs will be part of the “package.”

Cabanel said that a balance of approximately $23,000 remains from the the $50,000 the council set aside for consulting services. The council agreed to apply the fund to the cost of preparing the estimates.

Acknowledging that many of those most interested in the future of the theater have been “out of the loop” in recent months, Cabanel urged them to

attend the meeting on the 31st. “We’re welcoming you back into the loop,” she said. “We need you.”

NOTES: The finance committees of the City Council and the School Board will meet on Friday, January 14 at 1 p.m. to begin discussion of the 2011-2012 municipal budget. City Manager Eileen Cabanel told the council that after trimming the city budget several times, it remains about $520,000 higher than the current budget, primarily because of a $450,000 increase in the cost of health insurance for employees. “Some very serious decisions must be made,” she said, posing the choice of drawing from the undesignated fund balance (rainy day fund) or “dial back where our services are. The sooner we can start having those discussions, the better.” . . . . . . “It’s up to Mother Nature,” Russ Armstrong told the councilors of the 82nd running of the World Championship Sled Dog Derby slated for the weekend of February 11- 13. “We won’t know until about 10 days out from the race.” . . . . . . Mayor Mike Seymour reported that downtown restaurants are planning a “Cabin Fever Festival,” featuring culinary offerings at eight or nine “campfire sites.” The event is tentatively scheduled for February 18, between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. . . . . . . When the City Council authorized local marinas to act as agent to collect boat registration fees, Cabanel took the opportunity to remind boat owners that when they register their boats in the city, the proceeds offset property taxes. However, if they register with the state, the city receives nothing.

Same 2 19-year-old women get caught in Friday & Saturday night busts of underage drinking parties LACONIA — Two underage women didn’t seem to get the message after police busted them two consecutive nights at two separate parties for unlawful possession of alcohol and intoxication.

Together, Jillian K. Fortin, 19, of 32 Baywoods Road in Meredith and Ashlyn M. Soboleski, 19, of 34 Saltmarsh Pond Road in Gilford face two violations each of possession of alcohol and two each for intoxication for their alleged participation at two separate parties — one early Saturday morning at the Summit Resort and one early Sunday morning at the Margate Resort on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Unlawful possession of alcohol and intoxication are considered violations, not crimes.

According to Laconia Police, they received a call at 1:30 a.m. Saturday for a loud party at the Summit Resort on Mentor Avenue. Police said they saw “numerous juveniles” in the apartment drinking and holding alcoholic beverages but when they knocked on the door, the party goers refused to let them in.

Police said they waited outside while they got a search warrant and said they saw the party goers toss beer cans off of the third-floor balcony and pouring beer down the sink.

After securing the warrant, police entered and found 11 people between the ages of 17 to 20 in the apartment.

According to police logs, Chelsea Crockett, 17, of 84 Province Road in Gilmanton was charged with resisting arrest and unlawful possession while Soboleski; Fortin; Adam M. Moulton, 19, of 53 Fall Ave. in Gilford; Brian K. Akerley of 675 Gilford Ave. in Gilford; James R. Hunter II of 18 Village Lane in Gilford; Matthew P. King, 20, of 40 Edwards St. in Laconia; Michael Hassler of 238 Liberty Hill in Gilford; Cassandra Crockett, 19, of 84 Province Road and Peter R. Evans of 139 South Main St. #25 in Laconia were charged with unlawful possession and intoxication.

The next night, city police responded to another call for a loud party again around 1:30 a.m. this time at the Margate.

Inside were Soboleski, Fortin — who were both charged again with unlawful possession of alcohol — Alexis Mooney, 20, of 66 Gillette St. and William McCormick, 20, of 77 Penny Lane both in Laconia.

Police said a total of eight people were in the room all between the ages of 18 and 23. They said four of the people were adults and were placed in protective custody until a sober person could drive them home.

Police said the investigation into the party at Summit Resort continues and further charges could be forthcoming.

TITLON — The Life Safety Building Committee will present two proposals for a new police station at a public hearing at Town Hall tonight, Tuesday, January 11, beginning at 7 p.m.

The committee will offer plans to convert about a little more than half the space at 61 Business Park Drive, which the town acquired in 2008, to house the police department as well as a proposal to purchase

two lots on Laconia Road (Rte. 3), where a new twostory police station would be constructed.

The two options, complete with architectural drawings and cost estimates for each, will be discussed with the aim of developing a popular consensus in favor of one or the other, which will be presented to voters in the form of a warrant article at Town Meeting in March.

On a frigid morning outside the White House, Obama and first lady Michelle Obama stood side by side, each with their hands clasped, heads bowed and eyes closed. On the steps of the U.S. Capitol, congressional staff and other employees did the same.

At the Supreme Court, the justices paused for a

moment of silence between the two cases they were hearing Monday morning.The president called for the country to come together in prayer or reflection for those killed and those fighting to recover.

“In the coming days, we’re going to have a lot of time to reflect,” he said. “Right now the main thing we’re doing is to offer our thoughts and prayers to those who’ve been impacted, making sure we’re joining together and pulling together as a country.”

Let’s see a stunt driver duplicate this Diane Bedford, 49, of 15 Spring Street in Laconia told police she was driving her 2009 Chevy Cobalt on her own street on Friday night, just before 11 p.m., when an animal ran into the street, causing her to swerve and lose control of the vehicle. Bedford’s Chevy left the roadway, was launched over a snowbank and up and through the picture window of a home at 38 Spring Street owned by Cindy Chamberlain. Bedford was not injured and neither was anyone in the home. (Photo courtesy Laconia Police)

In total, six died and 14 were injured or wounded outside a supermarket where Giffords set up a booth to hear the concerns of constituents.

Loughner was tackled to the ground minutes after the shooting began, authorities said. He has been silent ever since.

A Mass for all the victims was scheduled Tuesday at St. Odelia’s Parish in Tucson.

Among the dead was 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green, who was born on the day of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Her funeral is Thursday.

It was unclear when funerals will be held for the other victims, including one of Giffords’ aides.

Loughner is charged with one count of attempted assassination of a member of Congress, two counts of killing an employee of the federal government and two counts of attempting to kill a federal employee. Those are federal charges.

State prosecutors, meanwhile, are researching whether they have to wait until after the federal case is resolved, or if they can proceed with local charges at the same time, an official said.

Giffords, 40, was shot in the head at close range. She was in critical condition at Tucson’s University Medical Center. Two patients were discharged Sunday night. Seven others remained hospitalized.

Recent CT scans showed no further swelling in the brain, but doctors were guarded.

“We’re not out of the woods yet,” her neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Lemole said. “That swelling can sometimes take three days or five days to maximize. But every day that goes by and we don’t see an increase, we’re slightly more optimistic.”

After Saturday’s operation to temporarily remove half of her skull, doctors over the past two days had Giffords removed from her sedation see next page

Undermanned Houston beats Celtics 108-102 BOSTON (AP) — Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers watched his team lose to the undermanned Houston Rockets and saw trouble coming from far down the road.

Playing without leading scorer Kevin Martin, the Rockets beat Boston 108-102 on Monday night to snap a five-game losing streak. Afterward, Rivers lamented his players’ lack of effort and warned them to take these regular season games more seriously or risk having a long summer to think about them.

“I’ve got to somehow figure out a way of getting them to see the urgency of the whole season, and not the single game,” Rivers told reporters. “Playing Game Seven on the road ... and not just in the finals, if you make it there, but in the playoffs, in the East, which is going to be difficult.”

With the loss, Boston (28-9) fell behind the Miami Heat (30-9) for the best record in the Eastern Con-

ference and the potential home-court advantage in the playoffs.

Home-court was crucial in Boston’s 2008 championship, but last year the aging Celtics opted to rest up for the postseason instead of chasing the best record.

They overcame the disadvantage in beating Cleveland and Orlando in the playoffs before losing Game 7 of the NBA finals to the Lakers in Los Angeles.

With LeBron James and Chris Bosh joining Dwayne Wade in Miami, this season the Celtics can count on more of a struggle within the conference.

“This year’s not like last year, where you can coast,” Rivers said. “If you don’t have home court this year, you could go home.”

Aaron Brooks returned from an ankle injury to score 24 points for Houston, hitting a pair of free throws with 18 seconds left.

GIFFORDS from page 2 On Monday, two well-known doctors with extensive experience in traumatic brain injury arrived in Tucson to help consult on Giffords’ case.

Doctors had said the bullet traveled the length of the left side of the congresswoman’s brain, entering the back of the skull and exiting the front. Her doctors have declined to speculate on what specific disabilities

Giffords may face as her recovery progresses.

As for the other shooting victims who suffered injuries to the face, neck, stomach and other parts of the body, doctors said most will have a normal recovery. To ensure that they don’t suffer post-traumatic stress, depression or other problems, teams of experts will guide them through the next phase.

from preceding page and then asked basic commands such as: “Show me two fingers.”

“When she did that, we were having a party in there,” said Dr. Peter Rhee, adding that Giffords has also managed to give doctors a thumbs-up and has been reaching for her breathing tube, even while sedated.

“That’s a purposeful movement. That’s a great thing. She’s always grabbing for the tube,” he said.

Giffords’ family is by her side and is receiving constant updates from doctors. On Monday, two well-known doctors with extensive experience in traumatic brain injury were en route to Tucson to help consult on Giffords’ case.

Her doctors have declined to speculate on what specific disabilities Giffords may face.

With few new details emerging at the hearing, questions remained about what could have motivated someone to arm himself with a pistol and magazines carrying 33 bullets each, and rain gunfire on a supermarket parking lot crowded with men, women and children.

And who exactly was Jared Loughner?

Comments from friends and former classmates bolstered by Loughner’s own Internet postings have painted a picture of a social outcast with almost indecipherable beliefs steeped in mistrust and paranoia.

“If you call me a terrorist then the argument to call me a terrorist is Ad hominem,” he wrote Dec. 15 in a wide-ranging posting.

A military official in Washington said the Army rejected Loughner in 2008 because he failed a drug test. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because privacy laws prevent the military from disclosing such information about an individual’s application.

The official did not know what type of drug was detected.

Prosecutors say he scrawled on an envelope the words “my assassination” and “Giffords” sometime before he took a cab to the shopping center. Police said he bought the Glock pistol used in the attack at Sportsman’s Warehouse in Tucson in November.

The revelation about the shooter’s high-capacity magazines led one longtime Senate gun control advocate, Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., to announce plans to re-establish a prohibition that lapsed in 2004 on magazines that feed more than 10 rounds at a time.

Across the country, including Nebraska and Iowa, lawmakers opening their legislative sessions observed a moment of silence. Other states flew flags at half-staff.

In Arizona, Gov. Jan Brewer said the state is grieving but united and determined.

“We are yet in the first hours of our sorrow, but we have not been brought down. We will never be brought down,” she said to a standing ovation from a joint session of the Legislature, where Giffords served before being elected to Congress.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, January 11, 2011— Page 13

STUDIO from page one tonight at 6 p.m. Next Tuesday will feature Chris White, and Steve Furbish is scheduled to play on January 25. McCarthy said she and Mazurka plan to continue the Tuesday night acoustic music series at least through March. There is a $10 suggested donation for those attending the music series.

“The biggest impact for having the space and doing what I’m doing is, essentially in this area, people have a very narrow understanding of what art is,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy has been an artist by vocation for 15 years. She was born in New York City and lived in California, Georgia and Texas before moving to Laconia 22 years ago, where she raised three children.

She jokes that most people in town know her as “that lady who sings” at Sacred Heart Church, where she is the cantor and leads the adult choir.

She explained, “I’m a practicing Catholic because I’m not very good at it.”

After her full-time mom duties were behind her, McCarthy began turning toward her art. For many years, she worked for a local insurance office and answered phone calls in exchange for studio space in the building. That space was small, though, and McCarthy realized that having a studio was one thing, finding a place to display and sell conceptual art was another thing, and so she began developing the concept for The Studio.

McCarthy’s business is located in a second-floor space inside a 150 year-old mill building on Union Avenue, above the thrift store “Too Good to be Threw”, directly across the Winnipesuakee River from Rotary Riverside Park. Her regular hours are Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5. She’s open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.

The Studio is firstly a working artist’s space, wherein McCarthy and fellow trans-genred artist Elizabeth Obelenus create their work. It’s also a space where the art of several New Hampshire artists can be displayed, and there’s enough floor space left for performances and events.

While McCarthy appreciates representative art on its own merits, she said it’s difficult for artists of a different ilk to feel at home in the Lakes Region.

“There’s not a place for conceptual art,” she said.

When she saw the space on Union Ave., a space which was previously filled by Andre the Tailor and has a view of the river and downtown, she knew it would be the perfect place for her enterprise.

“I love looking out and thinking about what could happen in this city – there’s a lot of energy for change in this town,” she said, adding that presence of art, especially art which challenges viewers to consider things in a new way, could play a role in how Laconia develops. “Art, different kinds of art, create energy in a town, energy for new things, for different things.

It opens opportunities.”

“I think it’s important for people to have choices,” she continued, likening a steady diet of just one kind of art to someone who eats only one kind of food.

After all, there’s more to the world than sunny lakeshore afternoons and artists can help bring significance to those experiences, too. “When you have a varied cultural diet, not only are you richer, your community is richer.”

MEREDITH from page one and maintain the town’s capital program by renegotiating the debt service and applying the savings to capital purchases.

Warren’s initial budget came in at $14,000 less than 2010, following “our instructions to a ‘T’,” said Selectman Peter Brothers.

Since then, selectmen decided to award the onetime salary adjustment (no town employees got raises in 2010) and add an additional police cruiser because this is the last year Ford Motor Company will produce the Crown Victoria and lawmakers hope to get the maximum use from the existing police equipment that can be transferred from older cruisers to the two newer ones.

Selectmen also didn’t replace any cruisers in 2010 setting the police department behind in its cruiser rotation.

The public hearing on the budget is Jan. 24 at the Meredith Community Center after which selectmen will hold their regular meeting.

Auburn claims BCS title with last second field goal GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Wes Byrum kicked a 19-yard field goal as time expired and No. 1 Auburn beat No. 2 Oregon 22-19 to win the BCS national championship Monday night.

Oregon had tied it at 19 with 2:33 left when Darron Thomas connected with Jeff Maehl on a tying 2-point conversion after LaMichael James scored on a shovel pass.

Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton and Auburn came right back with a 73-yard drive, with fresh-

man Michael Dyer making the key plays. First he rolled over an Oregon tackler and, with most of the players thinking the play was over around midfield, scooted another 30 yards to the 23.

A play later, Dyer went through the middle for 16 to the 1. After Newton was pushed back a yard, Byrum came on with 2 seconds left to kick the winner and give Auburn its first national championship since 1957 and the Southeastern Conference’s fifth in a row.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Boston Bruins probably figured their dramatic comeback win in Pittsburgh on Nov. 10 was a once-in-a-season accomplishment. Two months to the day, they pulled off a similar rally in the same arena. Mark Recchi scored the third of the Bruins’ four goals in the final 3½ minutes to cap their second

frantic rally in two visits to Pittsburgh, and Boston beat the Sidney Crosby-less Penguins 4-2 on Monday night.

Gregory Campbell added an empty-netter and set up two goals for the Bruins, who matched their earlier rally that turned a 4-2 deficit in the third period into a 7-4 win over the Penguins in November.

Bruins score 4 goals in final 3 1/2 minutes to beat Penguins, 4-2

OBITUARY

PIZZA EXPRESS

John ‘Jack’ E. Benoit, 74 FRANKLIN — John “Jack” E. Benoit, 74, passed away on January 5, 2011 at the Merrimack County Nursing Home in Boscawen, N.H., surrounded by his children, after a battle with cancer. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Jack was born on November 7, 1936 in Franklin, N.H. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping, especially with his sons. One of his favorite pastimes was pheasant hunting with Ebony. He was also an excellent fly-fisherman and was proud to teach his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed daily drives around Andover to visit his family and friends. He always treasured times at family gatherings.

Jack is survived by two sisters, Reana Preve and Corrine Keyser; two brothers, Lester And Harry Benoit; five children, Gary Benoit and his wife, Tina, of Andover, N.H., Brenda Thisell and Chris Peck of Vershire, Vermont, Kenneth Benoit and his wife, Kristina, of Belmont, N.H., Sharon Sheperd

and Joe Barton of Gilmanton, N.H., Scott Benoit and his wife, Diane, of Northfield, N.H.; four grandchildren, Jessie Thisell of New York City, Benjamin Benoit of Winnisquam, N.H., Dominique Murphy of Portsmouth, N.H., Nikita Thisell of Enfield, N.H. and many, many close nephews and nieces.

No calling hours will be held.

A Service will be held by his son, Gary, at his home in Andover in the spring.

This obituary was prepared and written by his loving granddaughter, Nikita.

‘Shaping Memory’ writing workshops start today GILFORD — Beginning on Wednesday, January 12, the Gilford Public Library will once again host a month-long writing workshop, “Shaping Memory”, to help all library cardholders tell their stories. Abi Maxwell will facilitate the workshop, and in it participants will discuss the many faces of memoir; they’ll use writing prompts to begin to get their stories on the page; and they’ll examine the use of image and the various ways stories can be shaped for clarity and tension.

“About five years ago, my grandmother gave me what she calls ‘some pages’,” said Maxwell. “These pages tell pieces of her life story. From them I learn some facts: that my great-great-great grandfather was a Swedish fishing captain who died at sea on April 23, 1848; that when the great depression hit my grandmother’s family had to sell the house they’d built to move in with her aunts. But along with these facts, I also get a glimpse of how this woman — from whom I inherited blue eyes and a remarkable tendency to mis-

place things by putting them in a ‘very special place’ — views the world. My grandmother is not a writer, and nor is she a frequent reader of memoir. However, these pages, which give me a chance to see life from her eyes, are the greatest gift she could pass on to me.”

Maxwell has teaching writing workshops for six years, and has been pursuing her own writing for more than 10 years. “I know that writing and sharing work can feel tiring and intimidating,” she said.

“However, I also know that it’s an important and invigorating practice, so I encourage all who are interested to sign up. Whether you’re a practiced writer or someone who always feared English class, this is a great time for you to begin to tell your story and to learn about storytelling techniques.”

The class is open to Gilford Public Library cardholders, and will meet on Wednesdays from 3 to 5 p.m. from January 12 through February 2. Sign up is required, and space is limited, so don’t delay! Call or stop by to sign up.

Strategies for managing healthcare costs focus of BIA’s Small Business Day

CONCORD — Strategies for controlling healthcare costs and top policy issues faced by state legislators will be addressed at the Business and Industry Association (BIA) 6th Annual Small Business Day at the State House to be held at the Holiday Inn from 7:30 — 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, February 1.

Held in partnership with the New Hampshire Small Business Development Center (NH SBDC), NH Division of Economic Development, and local and regional chambers of commerce and business associations, the event will engage small business owners and managers in public policy discussion and debate, and provide them with practical information to manage and grow their business. Small Business Day is sponsored by Public Service of New Hampshire, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Hampshire, and media sponsor New Hampshire Business Review.

Small Business Day at the State House will begin

with a panel discussion with the state’s top elected leaders: Senate President Peter Bragdon, House Speaker Bill O’Brien, Senate Democratic Leader Sylvia Larsen and House Minority Leader Terie Norelli (awaiting confirmation). The state leadership panel will focus specifically on top small business issues of 2011 and how state elected leaders will resolve them.

Following a short break, a panel of experts in the healthcare sector will participate in a panel discussion titled “Health Care – Why Is It So Expensive and What Can My Small Business Do About It?” Participants will include Lisa Guertin, president and chief executive of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Hampshire; Steve Gerlach, an attorney with Bernstein Shur; and Dan Cronin, CEO of CGI Employee Benefits Group. The panel will explore various theories about why health care is so expensive in the Granite State and discuss strate-

gies and opportunities for small businesses to control rising healthcare costs.

Among the participating chambers and business associations will be the Grantham Area, Greater Claremont, Greater Keene, Greater Peterborough, Greater Salem, Hampton Area, Hillsborough, Lakes Region, Lebanon Area, Lincoln-Woodstock, Merrimack, Plymouth Regional, Souhegan Valley, Waterville Valley Region, and Wolfeboro Area chambers of commerce, and the NH Association of Insurance Agents.

The cost to attend Small Business Day at the State House is $15 per person and includes continental breakfast. To register, call 224-5388 or visit www.nhbia.org.

“Cooking for Life: Grains, Beans & Veggies for Disease Prevention and Weight Management” class begins at Laconia Adult Education January 27 LACONIA — “Cooking for Life: Grains, Beans, & Veggies for Disease Prevention and Weight Management,” a new six-week class taught by Louisa Dell’Amico, will be offered by Laconia Adult Education from 6 — 8 p.m. beginning Thursday, January 27.

Dell’Amico, who has been eating a plant-based whole food diet for more than 40 years and has an A.A.S. in dietetic technology, plans to do cooking demos for spinach lasagna; vegetable pot pie with seitan; garlicky kale with chick peas; quinoa with mushroom/ tomato sauce; black bean, corn, and edamame salad; and healthy cookies.

In addition to a cooking demo for each class, Dell’Amico will briefly cover a topic for each night including: Weight Management, Mindful Eating, Disease Prevention, Antioxidants, “Good” Fats vs.

“Bad” Fats, and Exercise.

“Many Americans are relying more and more on fast food restaurants and processed, prepared foods from supermarkets, and we are paying an enormous price in terms of increasing incidences of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer,” Dell’Amico said. “It’s very difficult to eat healthy, nutritious food when we’re surrounded by foods that are high in saturated fat, refined carbohydrates, and salt. It’s like running through an obstacle course every day, and very few of us make it to the end without stumbling and being tempted by things we know are not good for us.”

Dell’Amico emphasized, “This isn’t about food restrictions and going on a diet. It’s about changing our tastes and food preferences and learning how to appreciate food that’s fresh and not laden with disease-causing ingredients. This is a celebration of

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your productivity isn’t as important as the emotional connection you make with others as you show up to do your thing.

Consider cutting back on your demands of yourself so you can ease into a better mood.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You are putting out good vibes now, and you will be extremely well received everywhere you go. You may owe someone an apology, and now is a perfect time to deliver it -- short, sweet and to the point.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Of course you would prefer to get your own way. However, you may decide to defer to someone else’s will in the short term in order to hold out for future personal gain.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you spend hours touching base with the people who are important to you, you have used your time well. This networking is good for your heart, and it doesn’t hurt your business, either.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes you can take hold of a mood and change it into what you want it to be.

Today the inner mood may be so persistent that the only way out of it is to go deeper into it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 11).

You have a knack for helping and will bring people up wherever you go. The next seven weeks present opportunities to develop your talents. You’ll enjoy increased financial security through May and June and will find many ways to have fun with your resources.

The bonds of friendship and love are cemented in August. Pisces and Gemini people adore you! Your lucky numbers are: 21, 24, 32, 16 and 14.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s an elder inside you and also a wild child. The two will play in harmony, helping you to create and have fun and still stay within the boundaries that are best for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want to enter an exclusive situation. It is as though there is a magical world that you can only enter if the creatures who live there trust you enough. You’ll build that trust today by staying present and patiently observing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your dream is building slowly but surely.

Anyway, these small beginnings will make for a better story when you’ve finally arrived. Imagine yourself telling that story now.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll get a reaction from people today. Some smile, some laugh, and others just seem startled. That’s to be expected.

When you knock long and loud on the door of success, you’re going to wake some people up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Complaining is a nasty habit. You’re working on breaking yourself of it completely, and you are doing a good job. You’ll busy yourself with fulfilling your own needs so there is nothing left to complain about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may be slipping out of your routine due to added pressures and responsibilities. Good nutrition, exercise and sleep should not be optional for you. Delegate so you can get back to healthy living.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Make the most of the calm because it’s not going to be this way tomorrow. You’ll enjoy the peace now and will take care of a million organizational details so you can enjoy the social swirl tomorrow.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 11, 1861, Alabama became the fourth state to withdraw from the Union, with delegates voting 61-39 in favor of an Ordinance of Secession during a convention in Montgomery.

On this date: In 1805, the Michigan Territory was created by an act of Congress.

In 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed the Grand Canyon National Monument (it became a national park in 1919).

In 1942, Japan declared war against the Netherlands, the same day that Japanese forces invaded the Dutch East Indies.

In 1943, the United States and Britain signed treaties relinquishing extraterritorial rights in China.

In 1964, U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry issued the first government report that said smoking may be hazardous to one’s health.

In 1977, France set off an international uproar by releasing Abu Daoud, a PLO official behind the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

In 1995, 52 people were killed when a Colombian airliner crashed as it was preparing to land near the Caribbean resort of Cartagena — however, a 9-year-old girl, Erika Delgado, survived.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, January 11, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’m 15 years old. Two years ago, I arrived home from school to find a burglar in my room. My bedroom door was locked, and when I got near it, the thief burst through the door. I attempted to kick him in the groin, but missed.

He grabbed my throat, squeezing it tight, and then went out the window. I called 911 and waited inside a closet for help. I made out a report and told my parents.

They never found the guy, and ever since, I have become extremely paranoid when left home alone, even if it’s for only an hour. In the past few months, it has gotten worse. I keep thinking there’s someone trying to get in, or I hear imaginary footsteps in the hallway. Until my parents come home, I keep a kitchen knife by my side. A secondary problem is that when I think someone is going to touch my back or neck, I tense up.

I don’t know how to express my feelings to my family without sounding pathetic. I don’t want therapy, because my parents can’t afford it. Do you have any suggestions about how to get over my phobia? -- Paranoid in Southern Calif.

Dear Paranoid: Your parents should know how you feel because they will want to help. But if you are reluctant to speak to them, talk to your school counselor or nurse. It sounds as if you are suffering from post-traumatic stress, and some shortterm therapy could be extremely helpful in working through your fears and learning techniques to cope with your anxiety.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend was divorced a couple of months ago. He and his ex-wife have six children together. She is very bitter about the divorce and dislikes me intensely.

The ex’s mother passed away last week. My boyfriend attended the wake and funeral. The problem is, he felt I should have gone with him to be supportive, regardless of what his

ex thought about it. I say that because this woman dislikes me so much -- and has for 30 years -- it was better that I did not attend the funeral and make a bad situation worse for her and their children. What do you say? -- Sure I Did the Right Thing Dear Sure: You behaved correctly. This was not about your boyfriend. It was about his ex-wife. Your boyfriend was there to pay his personal respects and support his children. Your presence would have created tension and anger, adding more pain for the bereaved. If your boyfriend needed your support, he could find you at home.

Dear Annie: I would like to reply to “Pleading for a Little Privacy,” who works nights and sleeps days and can’t get people to leave her alone.

My wife and I work opposite shifts so one of us can be home with our sons. We have done this for 11 years. If someone rang the doorbell, I would not answer. I used to have a problem with my father-in-law, who would come over and ring the doorbell or phone me about things that could have waited.

I had a simple solution for this. Whenever he would wake me up during the day, I would call him at the corresponding time late at night and do the same to him. If he woke me up at noon, I would refuse to talk to him. Then, when I got to work, I would call him at midnight and ask him what he wanted to talk about. After my third call, he got the hint. Now he never calls me during the day. In fact, he never calls me at all. If he needs something, he will call my wife. This has worked pretty well, and I get a lot more sleep. -- Andrew from Illinois Dear Andrew: You’ve solved one problem, but we hope you haven’t created a second one with an alienated father-inlaw.
