Police don’t believe pair of armed home invasions were random crimes

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A local man will appear in Laconia District Court this morning following his arrest in connection to one of two home invasions that happened in the city late late Tuesday and early Wednesday.

Police said they arrested Michael J. Veinot, 38, at the Landmark Inn and charged him with one count of burglary, one count of reckless conduct, and two counts of criminal threatening.

Capt. William Clary said Veinot and another person allegedly forced their way into a house on Warren Street.

In the ensuing skirmish, one round from a handgun, allegedly wielded by Veinot, was fired into the ceiling and one of the occupants suffered a “superficial knife wound to the stomach.”

About 45 minutes before the Warren Street home invasion, police said a knife wielding male kicked in the door of a house on Garfield Street and demanded money.

When the resident fought back, the subject fled. Police brought in a K-9 and surrounded the area but were unable to track the invader. see INVasIONs page 7

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Floodwaters washing through Australia’s third-largest city crested Thursday just shy of a record but high enough to submerge entire neighborhoods and cause damage one official likened to the aftermath of war.

One man died in Brisbane after being sucked into a storm drain by the muddy waters, Queensland state Premier Anna Bligh said.

Thousands of homes were swamped, and officials told residents it will be days before many of them can return to their houses.

Others were told their homes will never be habitable again.

In one spot of bright news, the swollen Brisbane River’s peak was about three feet (one meter) lower than predicted, at a depth slightly below that of 1974 floods that swept the city. The river had already begun to recede

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Summoning the soul of a nation, President Barack Obama on Wednesday implored Americans to honor those slain and injured in the Arizona shootings by becoming better people, telling a polarized citizenry that it is time to talk with each other “in a way that heals, not in a way wounds.” Following a hospital bedside visit with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the target of the assassination, he said: “She knows we’re here, and she knows we love her.”

In a memorably dramatic moment, the president said that Giffords, who on Saturday was shot point-blank in the head, had opened her eyes for the first time shortly after his hospital visit. First lady Michelle Obama held hands with Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly, as the news brought soaring cheers throughout the arena.

Speaking at a memorial at the University of Arizona, Obama bluntly conceded that there is no way to know what triggered the shooting rampage that left six people dead, 13 others wounded and the nation shaken.

He tried instead to leave indelible memories of the people who were gunned down and to rally the country to use the moment

as a reflection on the nation’s behavior and compassion.

“I believe we can be better,” Obama said to a capacity crowd in the university’s basketball arena — and to countless others watching around the country. “Those who died here, those who saved lives here — they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us.”

In crafting his comments, Obama clearly sought a turning point in the raw debate that has defined national politics. After offering personal accounts of every person who died, he challenged anyone listening to think of how to honor their memories, and he was not shy about offering direction. He admonished against any instinct to point blame or to drift into political pettiness or to latch onto simple explanations that may have no merit.

“At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized — at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than we do — it’s important for us to pause for a moment

and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds,” the president said.

The shooting happened as Giffords, a three-term Democrat who represents southern Arizona, was holding a community outreach event in a Tucson shopping center parking lot Saturday. A gunman shot her in the head and worked his way down the line of people waiting to talk with her, law enforcement officials said. The attack ended when bystanders tackled the man, Jared Lee Loughner, 22, who is in custody.

Obama’s speech, by turns somber and hopeful, at times took on the tone of an exuberant pep rally as he heralded the men who wrestled the gunman to the ground, the woman who grabbed the shooter’s ammunition, the doctors and nurses who treated the injured, the intern who rushed to Giffords’ aid. The crowd erupted in multiple standing ovations as each was singled out for praise.

The president recalled how federal Judge John Roll was on his way from attending Mass when he stopped to say hello to Gifsee OBAMA page 8

Palin accuses writers & commentators of ‘blood libel’ in Tucson aftermath

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Sarah Palin posted a nearly eight-minute video on her Facebook page early Wednesday, accusing journalists and pundits of inciting hatred and violence in the wake of a deadly Arizona shooting that gravely wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Last spring, Palin targeted Giffords’ dis-

trict as one of 20 that should be taken back.

Palin has been criticized for marking each district with the cross hairs of a gun sight.

In the video, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate said vigorous debates are a cherished tradition. But she said after the election, both sides find common ground, even though they disagree.

“But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible,” she said.

The term “blood libel” is the false allesee next page

N. H. Republicans say repeal of gay marriage not on their agenda for 2011 CONCORD (AP) — House Republicans have decided not to pursue a repeal of New Hampshire’s gay marriage law this year and plan instead to focus their energy on finding ways to improve the state’s financial footing.

House Republican Leader D.J. Bettencourt confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday that jobs and the economy will be the top priorities on the House GOP agenda to be announced Thursday, which the GOP will use as its policymaking scorecard for the next two years.

“The social issues must take a back seat,” said Bettencourt, R-Salem.

Gay marriage was enacted two years ago when Democrats controlled the Legislature. Gov. John Lynch, who said he opposed gay marriage, signed the law after lawmakers approved provisions affirming religious rights and has since repeatedly said he would veto any attempt to repeal it.

Conservatives were hoping for enough votes in the Legislature to repeal gay marriage and overturn a veto. Two groups that opposed the measure, Cornerstone Action and the National Organization for Marriage, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on television ads in an effort to defeat Lynch in last year’s governor’s race and elect lawmakers who would support a repeal.

Bettencourt said one abortion initiative will be on the House GOP agenda but he declined to say what it is. Republican House Speaker William O’Brien has openly favored quick enactment of a parental notification bill, however.

Bettencourt said he met with House Republicans to get a consensus on an agenda and “to a person, everyone was in agreement we have to immediately get to work on the budget, retirement and reform education.”

He said there was widespread agreement that social issues would have to come later.

That leaves open the from preceding page gation that Jews kill non-Jews, especially Christian children, to acquire blood for the Passover or other Jewish rituals, according to the Jewish Virtual Library. It has been used in other contexts, and Palin’s meaning was not clear. Her aides did not immediately respond to an e-mail early Wednesday.

Jared Loughner, 22, is accused of trying to assassinate Giffords, wounding 12 others and killing six people.

“There are those who claim political rhetoric is to blame for the despicable act of this deranged, apparently apolitical criminal,” Palin said. “And they claim political debate has somehow gotten more heated just recently. But when was it less heated? Back in those ‘calm days’ when political figures literally settled their differences with dueling pistols?”

possibility that Republican leaders will postpone action on repealing gay marriage until next year, a non-budget year. The House can do that by having committees retain bills. Bettencourt would not say if leaders plan to do that.

Under the rules, committees cannot kill bills, but can keep hold them over the first year of a two-year session and bring them in the following year for a House vote.

“The legislative process will work its way through on those bills,” said Bettencourt. “Our focus will be on fixing the budget, reforming the pension system and getting to work on reforming the education system.”

He said those reforms won’t happen if Republicans get distracted by other issues. He said issues like gay marriage were not the primary reasons voters replaced the Democratic majority in the House with a Republican one, he said.

“We cannot allow ourselves ... where we campaigned on one set of issues and governed on another set of issues,” he said.

The exclusion of the controversial issue comes a week after House Republican leaders battled criticism they were not focusing on the issues that voters sent them to Concord to deal with: the state budget, spending reductions and jobs.

New Hampshire’s unemployment rate was 5.4 percent in November. Estimates of the size of the state’s budget hole range from $600 million to $800 million in a $3 billion budget funded by state taxes.

On the Legislature’s opening day, House Republicans — who have a 3-1 advantage over Democrats — lifted a 40-year-old ban on guns on the House floor and in adjoining rooms. They also moved to oust a Manchester Democrat who works as the parsee GAY MARRIAGE page 8

Frank says Obama’s position of fishing endangering working relationship NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — Leading Congressional Democrat Barney Frank says the Obama administration’s recent decisions on the fishing industry are threatening his working relationship with the president.

Last week, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke angered Frank by refusing a request by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick to raise catch limits for Northeast fishermen. Locke said there was no new science to support it.

In an editorial published online Wednesday in The Standard-Times of New Bedford, Frank called the decision an “assault” on the industry and blasted the administration’s “wholly negative tone.”

He said if it persists, “it will make it difficult” to keep cooperating with Obama.

In a story accompanying the editorial, the 30-year Congressman said it was “time for some counterintimidation.”

A crazy gunman, but . . .

House Speaker John Boehner seemed truly appalled by the murderous rampage against Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and constituents at a supermarket in her Tucson, Ariz., district. But the Republican’s contention that this was “an attack on all who serve” wasn’t quite right.

The apparent gunman, Jared Lee Loughner, may be a 22-year-old loner and is probably insane, but his attack was not against “all who serve.” It was on a Democrat who had been vilified by a gun-waving right wing that Boehner’s party tolerates and feeds with self-pitying visions of oppression.

In the wake of the Tucson tragedy, Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor wisely decided to postpone the scheduled vote to repeal health care reform. No issue has been more subject to his party’s violence-tinged theatrics than has this one.

It’s not easy to reject legislation that guarantees heath care security while trimming hundreds of billions off projected deficits — and all in the service of corporate interests. To pull it off, Republicans had to distract the confused and angry tea party folk with ravings about loss of freedom, a shredding of the Constitution and the need to take up arms.

So it wasn’t shadowy fringe elements accusing Democrats of creating government-run death panels in their health care reform.

Establishment figures from Grand Old Party — the “nice” Iowan Sen. Charles Grassley — painted paranoiac images of government pulling the plug on grandma.

On the health care legislation, Sarah Palin said last March: “It’s undemocratic. It’s un-American,” and was being “crammed down our throats.”

Speaker Boehner, politics may be a rough sport, and nastiness does come from all sides. But Democrats have no Palin-like figure putting political opponents in the cross hairs of gun sights, as she had placed Giffords’ district in her famously repulsive graphic.

There is no Democratic version of Giffords’ recent Republican opponent, who ran the following sicko

notice: “Get on Target for Victory in November. Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly.”

Listen to the language employed

by Jeff McQueen, a tea party “leader” widely interviewed on national radio. A self-proclaimed defender of the “House of Liberty,” McQueen told NPR: “We have a choice of four boxes if we want to make political change in this country. We can go to the soap box, we can go to the ballot box, or we can go to the jury box, and hopefully, we won’t have to go to the bullet box.”

An astonished show host Tom Ashbrook responded: “Bullet box!

Are you talking about armed revolution?”

McQueen answered in his blankly confident way, “Have you seen ammunition sales in the last 12 months?”

A weird comment from an insignificant player? During the recent campaign, the Republican senatorial candidate in Nevada, Sharron Angle, spoke of “domestic enemies” in Washington. A tea party favorite, she added, “I hope we’re not getting to Second Amendment remedies.”

Given this normalization of violent rhetoric by a mainstream party, it was only inevitable that a psychopath with a semiautomatic would get pushed off his shaky edge. That he landed on a Norman Rockwellian “Congress on Your Corner” event, run by the gentle and moderate Gabby Giffords, makes the outrage all the more grotesque.

Loughner didn’t put a bullet through the head of just any public servant, but one subjected to repeated threats, one whose office was vandalized after she voted for the health care bill. Loughner may be crazy, but his choice of officeholder was hardly random.

So no, Speaker Boehner, that massacre wasn’t about “us” who serve the people. It was about Democrats operating in a political environment his party helped poison.

When was the last time you heard of a mass shooting at a gun show?

To the editor, A number of things in The Sun of Jan. 11caught my interest!

The Town of Meredith spends on: wage raises are now called wage adjustments. In the private sector, your lucky to have a job, never mind a wage adjustment. People on a fixed income (Social Security ) got no such adjustments. Workers at local hospitals got no such adjustments.

If the town wants new vehicles just

and use the rainy day fund. Whose representing the tax payers of Meredith? Hello, is anybody home?

My other interest is gun carry in the statehouse. Good idea ! When was the last time you heard of a mass shooting at a gun show? A shooting range? A gun shop? A police station? I wonder why?

And to the people who lost the election, get over it! Maybe next time the pendulum will swing your way.

LETTERS History teaches unarmed people are but serfs for the ruling class To the editor, It took me 28 years to track down and personally thank the Navy Corpsman who with the help of a Marine save my life and drag me to a helicopter.

He worked for U.S. Customs and had this exsperince to share with me: “We went aboard a Chinese cargo ship that was filled with containers. We could not inspect all so chose a couple to inspect. The first one we looked through had AK-47’s in craits.

We found out later that they were destined for the gangs of L.A. It was not long before we got notice that President Clinton was upset with this, not what we found but inspecting a Chinese ship”.

What does this have to do with guns? Plenty! We are fast approaching a time when only government and outlaws will carry guns. It was learned centuries ago that an unarmed people are but serfs for the ruling class. We see the value of a common person.

When a common person is murdered often we see the murderer get out of jail after several years. Killing a government official or police officer we can find the killer getting the death penalty.

Soldiers are viewed as common fodder. In the killing at Fort Hood and the recruitment office we find a double standard. Most likely we will see the murderers out in several years.

The right to self defence has been around for centuries. Even one of Jesus’s apostles carried a sword. As strict as the Romans were, I understand you could still carry a sword.

The world is less safe than it was when I was young, giving more reasons to arm oneself. There has been far too many accurences when a women or even young person has called the police and they get their after the person has been murdered. Dade County Florida is a good example to reflect upon. Rapes had been occuring at an alarming rate. When women started applying for a permit to carry, rapes went way down.

Who did our Founders intend that the militia be composed of? According to their writings it is every able bodied man. And the governor of the state had charge of their training. History

shows they trained often.

Yes! Those who flaunt a gun in public have very serious problems.

And they should not be allowed to do so. An automatic weapon is illegal to own without a special liscence from the government. I see no reason to to own one. A semi-automatic pistol fires with each pull of the trigger. An automatic fires in bursts untill the trigger is released.

Do we not remember Pol Pot? His soldiers marched into Cambodia and took weapons from the people, stating they don’t need them because they would protect them. Not long after, the Khmer Rouge commenced a horrendous murder spree upon a helpless people. Taking pictures of their victims in the process. Over 100 million people have been murdered in this manner by the same ideology.

There will always be those who are afflicted with serious mental and character problems. They have not always been a lone person. Joe Stalin, Hitler, Mao Zedong were considered mass murderers. Yet they could not have succeded without help from the West. They still have many followers throughout the world. Karl Marx has followers in this country who think his ideology is the one we should follow. He is taught in our universities and his mantra pushed in our legistlatures by unscrupolous men and women. An unarmed popluace is their final step in ruling us Quite often, a few years ago, I would received a phone call from a police sergeant. He would visit and we would talk all night, often untill the sun came up. He had a concern that the police were becoming paramilitary. No knock warrants and the many innocent people killed in their homes by police officers worried him.

His statement that he has seen some who are just plain evil wear the police uniform. If he didn’t trust some police officers, how can we?

We have learned by sad experince that there is little trust in government. And equally sad is they assume power to belong to only a special class of people.

LETTERS We conservatives have changed our positions little over my lifetime To the editor, This has been a very traumatic week for our nation but instead of the coming together that most people hope for it seems there are some who are intent on opportunistically driving deeper wedges between an already polarized people. I wish this was not true but it is an unfortunate fact. Without any evidence of the motivation of the killer, left-wing extremist, columnists and bloggers immediately attempted to blame all things conservative and all the usual people were villainized.

Right here in this paper this morning a letter by Gail Morrison echos the crass accusations being leveled by those far crueler in the national media. Now Gail says that conservatives have moved to the far right. I ask, how so? We conservatives have changed our positions little over my lifetime. We are, and have been, for smaller less intrusive government.

We’re against wasteful government spending. We support the rule of law and adherence to the Constitution. We believe in a strong national defense, freedom of speech, religion, peaceful assembly and so on. Just what is extreme about those values? Even the Republican Party has moved closer

to the Democrats on social and civil issues in the past few decades but have been given little or no credit for it by the left.

We conservatives have suffered a constant barrage of vile character assassinations by the left for 50 years now. Differ on any subject with a progressive liberal, facts be damned, and the typical response is, “Your a raciest, bigot, chauvinist, ignorant red neck, greedy pig”, on and on. If those on the left want to lower the vitriolic rhetoric I suggest they look to themselves first. I simply can’t remember when I have read or heard more hate and lies coming out of any party or people. And why? It’s because they simply can’t stand it that most people disagree with the direction the current administration is trying to take the country.

This whole thing is another example of the far left’s credo of “any means justifies the end” and “never waste a good disaster”. Are those really the values to which we should aspire? I, for one, don’t think they are.

So Gail, is it really the conservatives that have widened the gap or have the progressive liberals stolen your heart?

Arizona tragedy points out need for us to be able to bear arms To the editor, I’m concerned about gun control. As the tragedy in Arizona points out, it is necessary for all citizens to be able to bear arms. If some of the people who came to hear Congresswomen Gabrielle Giffords had guns, they probably could have stopped the lunatic before he could kill and injure so many people.

Trying to legislate so that no one can bear arms does not work because the criminals always seem to find a way to get guns and I imagine the same would be true of other unstable people.

The right to bear arms is essential to our safety.

David Stamps, Scott Cracraft and others have written eloquently about that issue.

The other concern is the need for financial support for Genesis Behavioral Health and other mental health services in the state.

Chandler first to declare interest in becoming county attorney LACONIA — An attorney with the law firm of Wescott, Dyer, Fitzgerald & Nichols is the first to official apply for the position of Belknap County Attorney, made available yesterday when the Hon. James Carroll became the presiding judge at the Laconia District Court.

Lori Ann Chandler is a former prosecutor with both Carroll and Belknap Counties and was named the Asst.

County Attorney of the Year in 2005.

Originally from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., Chandler majored in criminal justice at Marist College and earned her law degree at Franklin Pierce Law School (now the University of New Hampshire School of Law.) She also is the recent owner of Mr. Paul’s Hair Affair on Canal Street.

She said yesterday she worked as a hairdresser for 17 years and still occasionally does hair on weekends.

“That’s what put me through law school,” she said.

Chandler said she knows whoever succeeds Carroll will “have some big shoes to fill” but that the Gov. John Lynch couldn’t have made a better choice for a judge for Laconia District Court.

Belknap County Human Resource Manager Normal O’Neil said applications for County Attorney will be accepted until the end of January because the county wanted to advertise in a N.H. law magazine that goes to print in mid-January.

With Carroll assumption of the bench, Carly Ahern becomes Acting County Attorney until Carroll’s successor is appointed by the county convention.

Ahern cannot be considered for the permanent position because she is not a resident of Belknap County.

ALTON from page one perusal at Town Meeting in March.

“It’s been a struggle, it really has,” Dame said.

The committee has so far put three proposals before voters so far, all of which have involved land purchases and all of which have been rejected.

The new plan, Dame said, is currently in the “conceptual” stage and does not involve acquisition of land.

Instead, the new plan, which could change in coming months, calls for a renovation of the entire building. Additionally, the committee and CMK Architects are considering the demolition of a handful of classrooms out of concern for the viability of their roof and replacing them with a multi-story classroom structure, which would allow the school to offer more classrooms without reducing the amount of athletic fields on the Central School campus.

“While we’re keeping a lot of the existing school, it will be upgraded,” said Chip Krause, principal of CMK Architects.

The renovations will include new windows, lights and heating systems and new ceilings for some rooms. A bank of classrooms, which have roofs which must be shoveled off

for fear they can’t support snow, are being considered for demolition, he said, and could be replaced with two or even three stories of classrooms.

Neither Dame nor Krause would say how much square footage, how many classrooms or how much pupil capacity the renovated school will have. They said discussions about the plan are too fluid to settle on such specifics.

Dame emphasized there was “zero” chance that the plan would come before voters any earlier than March, 2012, and that there is no talk of a land purchase as part of the plan.

One major variable in future strategies, Dame said, will be whether or not the state legislature will fund school building aid programs in the next biennium. That question will be answered when the state budget is finalized in June this year. “There’s no money coming from the state right now, so we’re not sure what to do,” Dame said.

Traditionally, the state has paid 30 or more percent of the principal cost of the debt service that community’s incur as a result of selling bonds to pay for school construction projects.

GILFORD from page one to comment about the negotiations, adding the Teamsters and the town had jointly agreed not to speak to the media unless there was an impasse.

“We are not at impasse,” he said.

Patrol officers, dispatchers, detectives and clerks below the rank of sergeant are represented by the Teamsters, who successfully organized the department in 2007.

The two entered into a two-year contract for 2009 that provided a 2.75 percent wage adjustment for all covered employees for 2010. The contract expired Dec. 31. but under state law the provisions outlined in it stay in effect until a new contract is agreed to and funded by voters, including the provision that the town provide health insurance at the previously agreed to level of service.

While the reason for the stalemate is not known, one item mentioned in a statement to local media issued

Tuesday by Town Administrator Scott Dunn indicates a dissatisfaction on the part of selectmen with police officers for not taking their health insurance benefits, presumably at a lower cost, provided through the Teamsters.

Police, like the rest of town employees, are currently insured through the N.H. Local Government Center.

The expired police union contract did not provide for any “step” pay increases therefore is not subject to the provisions of the Evergreen Law enacted in 2008.

It did include a system of merit pay increases that range from 1 to 4-percent and that provision is covered by the Evergreen Law. Union members who receive an “unsatisfactory” rating as a result of perforance review process receive no merit pay increase.

On Tuesday, the newly elected and overwhelmingly Republican legislature took the first steps toward abolishing the Evergreen Law when the Senate Committee on Public and Municipal Affairs voted 4-to-1 to abolish it.

Advocates of the Evergreen Law say it protects public service employees who gave up the right to strike for some protection of their wages and benefits while detractors say it is tantamount to an unfunded mandate and negates the rights of voters at town meeting.

Dunn said he is not sure what would happen to the merit increases

if the legislature were to abolish the Evergreen Law before the town and the Teamsters reach accord.

Dunn also said selectman’s claim they may have to ask the police to reduce overtime or shifts to cover the Evergreen Law provisions of the expired contract have to do with fairness to all of the town employees by not treating any one department differently than others.

He said yesterday the town is also in contract negotiations with the employees of the Public Works Department who are represented by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME.) He said their contract expires in March but declined to comment further.

FLOODS from page 2 though it was expected to stay high for several days.

Waters in some areas had reached the tops of roofs, shut down roads and power, and devastated entire neighborhoods. Mayor Campbell Newman said 11,900 homes and 2,500 businesses had been completely inundated, with another 14,700 houses and 2,500 businesses at least partially covered in water.

“Queensland is reeling this morning from the worst natural disaster in our history and possibly in the history of our nation,” Bligh told reporters. “We’ve seen three-quarters of our state having experienced the devastation of raging floodwaters and we now face a reconstruction task of postwar proportions.”

The flooding, which has killed 24 people since late November, has submerged dozens of towns — some three times — and left an area the size of Germany and France combined under water. Highways and rail lines have been washed away in the disaster, which is shaping up to be Australia’s costliest, with early damage estimates around $5 billion.

At least 74 people are missing, and the death toll is expected to rise. Many of those unaccounted for disappeared from around Toowoomba, a city west of Brisbane that saw massive flash floods on Monday sweep away cars, road signs and people. Thirteen died in that flood alone, with police finding the latest body in a field on Thursday. Deputy Police Commissioner Ian Stewart warned that number was likely to rise as search and rescue teams accessed more devastated areas Thursday.

“We’ve got to brace ourselves for more bad news,” Stewart said.

Almost 115,000 homes were without power across Queensland by Thursday because electricity was switched off to prevent electrocutions and damage to electrical systems.

In Brisbane, roads were flooded, railway lines were cut and sewage began spilling into the floodwaters. People moved about in kayaks, rowboats and even on surfboards. Boats torn from their moorings floated down an engorged river. Brisbane’s office buildings stood empty with the normally bustling central business district transformed into a watery ghost town.

A 300-yard (-meter) stretch of a pedestrian boardwalk weighing 300 tons broke loose and drifted downstream before two tug boats were able to steer it away from bridges.

Despite the devastation, many remained thankful the river had spared them the worst of its fury.

“There’s a fair bit of relief around this morning — we’re thanking our stars a bit, that’s for sure,” said Andrew Turner, whose house in the flooded suburb of Graceville escaped inundation. “We were pretty much braced for the worst and were all but packed up and ready to go.”

Lisa Sully, who lives in the nearby suburb of Sherwood, did have some water in her home — but she still felt lucky on Thursday.

“I can handle this,” she said. “Mentally, I was prepared for worse.”

The death toll has shocked Australians, no strangers to deadly natural disasters like the wildfires that killed 173 in a single day two years ago.

One tale has particularly transfixed the country: a 13-year-old boy caught in the flood who told strangers to save his 10-year-old brother first and died as a result.

Jordan and Blake Rice were in the car with their mother, Donna, when a wall of water pummeled Toowoomba on Monday. After the torrent of water knocked one rescuer over, another man managed to reach the car, The Australian newspaper reported. At Jordan’s insistence, he pulled Blake out first, according to a third brother, Kyle.

Carroll sworn in as new Laconia District Court judge

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — More than a score of well-wishers — family, colleagues and friends — ignored the snow storm yesterday to be on hand when Governor John Lynch swore in Jim Carroll as the justice of the Laconia District Court in the Executive Council chambers in the largely empty statehouse “I have a problem,” Lynch began after asking Carroll to introduce him to his guests. “Since I nominated Jim I’ve only heard good things about him.

Somebody must know something.”

“He went to Holy Cross, not Boston College,” attorney Steve Lawrence blurted out. “I have some good

stories,” Carroll’s daughter Christina offered mischieviously.

After the governor administered the oath of office, he invited Carroll to make some remarks. Drawing a sheaf of paper from his coat pocket, the new justice said “it’s not the Academy Awards” then generously began offering thanks to all those who contributed to his accession to the bench, beginning with the governor and council “for putting their faith in me.”

His wife Janet, he said, “loved me and kicked my butt from time to time,” while his mother, who was listening, and his late father taught him “there is no substitute for hard work.” His children — Michael, see next page

Celtics get well against hapless Kings, 119-95 President Obama reports

BOSTON (AP) — Paul Pierce scored 25 points and Rajon Rondo had 10 points and 13 assists to lead the Boston Celtics to a 119-95 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.

Pierce scored 15 points in the first quarter as Boston got off to a quick start to bounce back from surprising home loss to Houston on Monday night. The Celtics had been 5-5 since Christmas, when they lost to the Orlando Magic to end a 14-game winning streak.

Reserve Carl Landry scored 17 points and Beno Udrih had 16 for Sacramento, which has lost 12 consecutive road games. The Kings lost 136-133 in overtime to the Wizards in Washington on Tuesday night and arrived in Boston at 3:30 a.m., just beating the worst of the blizzard that blanketed the Boston area with more than a foot of snow.

The Celtics thanked fans for coming out in the snow; it was announced as a sellout, and there weren’t many no-shows.

And the crowd got an early start on the way out, thanks to a blowout that the Celtics needed.

Since opening the season with a 23-4 record — the best in the East — the Celtics had played .500 ball and fallen a game behind Miami in the conference. After Monday’s loss to the Rockets, who were without leading scorer Kevin Martin, Boston coach Doc Rivers warned his players that the loss of homecourt advantage could be costly.

They seemed to respond.

Ray Allen scored 14 points, making four of five from 3-point range, and reserve Semih Erden had 10 points and eight rebounds while filling in at center when Shaquille O’Neal got into early foul trouble.

O’Neal had zero points and zero rebounds at the half, thanks to the three fouls he picked up in just over 7 minutes of action. He picked up his fourth foul early in the third quarter, an offensive foul called by referee Bob Delaney.

that Congresswoman Giffords has opened her eyes again for first time

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — President Barack Obama says that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has opened her eyes for the first time since being shot through the head on Saturday.

The president says it happened a few minutes after he left her hospital room Wednesday evening. The president, speaking at a prayer service in Tucson for shooting victims, says that Giffords’ husband allowed him to share the news with the crowd.

That brought people to their feet amid cheering.

The president says that after he left Giffords’ hospital room at Tucson’s University Medical Center, some of her colleagues in Congress remained. They were there when the critically wounded congresswoman opened her eyes for the first time. from preceding page Tamara, Christina and Joshua — he called “his inspiration.”

He recalled his first law firm — Murphy, McLaughlin and Hemeon — and his last — Westcott, Millham and Dyer — expressing his appreciation for for the wisdom and experience his colleagues shared with him. Characteristically, he singled out the secretaries and paralegals for thanks, adding that “all attorneys should admit more often than we do that we would not be successful without them.”

Carroll also expressed his gratitude to the Laconia Police Department, where he served as prosecutor for “letting me work outside the box from time to time.”

He recalled Judge David Huot, his predecessor on the bench of the Laconia District Court, before whom he argued cases for both the prosecution and the defense. “He once called balls and strikes on me,” Carroll said, “and then made guilty and not guilty calls on my clients.”

Carroll’s mother, Joyce Chaplin, said that when he came to tell her of his nomination to the bench he was “so excited and he looked just like a little boy.” She said that despite all the accolades and kind words, nothing meant more to Carroll than a letter written to the newspaper by a man he put in jail saying how fairly and justly he had been treated by the prosecutor.

Carroll said that he expects to take his seat on the bench near the end of this month. Meanwhile, he and his staff, all of whom joined him in Concord yesterday, have been “moving stuff across the parking lot for weeks.”

Snow Sachems

Laconia High School freshmen (left to right) Garrett Guilmett, Jordan Bladecki and Nick Morel enjoyed a snowy reprieve from academics yesterday and spent the day at the city’s sledding hill on South Street. The hill is a new city amenity, prepared just in time for the sledding season. Russ Hobby, local weather expert, said yesterday evening that the storm brought at least 22 inches to the city, making it the largest single day snowfall in January in the city’s recorded weather history. Considering that the average snowfall for the first month of the year is about 23 inches, the region received about a month of snow in a single day. The snowiest January in Laconia’s history was 1979, when 55.1 inches fell. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

TUCSON from page 7 targeting Giffords, including handwritten notes in a safe that read “I planned ahead,” ‘’My assassination” and “Giffords.”

Among the notes was one with the words “Die, bitch,” which authorities believe was a reference to Giffords.

Nanos said the writings were either in an envelope or on a form letter Giffords’ office sent him in 2007 after he signed in at one of her “Congress on Your Corner” events — the same kind of gathering where the shooting occurred.

Investigators, however, are still searching for the black bag.

“What he did and the morning before the shooting, we’re just trying to find all that out. Naturally, we want to find every detail we can,” Nanos said, adding that Loughner may have made other stops

Massage & Hypnosis

that morning but could not specify what they were.

Later Wednesday, documents were released revealing details of the Loughner family’s encounters with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and Jared’s run-ins with police at Pima Community College in Tucson.

The college records detail Loughner’s increasingly bizarre behavior last year, culminating with his suspension in September. The 51 pages of campus police reports, obtained under an open records request, described a series of classroom outbursts and confrontations that prompted worried instructors to summon campus officers.

Loughner’s behavior grew from disruptive to deranged over time, but never violent, according to the reports. In one, dated Sept. 23, an officer called to quiet an outburst described Loughner as incomprehensible, his eyes jittery, his head awkwardly tilted.

MEREDITH — The Meredith Regional Energy Fair, featuring vendors and informational presentations, will be held at the Community Center from 12:30 — 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 15.

“This fair will have a lot to offer,” according to Ken Colburn, chairman of the Meredith Energy Committee. Attendees will be eligible to win over four thousand dollars worth of door prizes including at least nine donated home energy audits.

“Home Energy Audits are an excellent way to identify any energy-related issues, reduce energy bills and improve comfort,” said Town Planner Angela Labrecque. Additional door prizes will include sev-

eral energy monitors and a gift basket of weatherization products.

Town Manager Phil Warren added that up to six Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFL’s) per attendee will be accepted free-of-charge. “It is important that theses bulbs be recycled and not thrown in the trash,” he said, adding that staff will be on hand to explain property tax exemptions the Town offers for energy improvements.

The Fair is open free of charge and the public is encouraged to attend. Specific program and vendor information can be found at http://meredithnh.org/ EnergyFair.php.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis commotion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This is a better day for reaching in than for reaching out. If someone doesn’t call you back, you can assume it’s because of his or her busy schedule and that it has nothing to do with you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll be permitted to carry another person’s burden for a short while. This person is not usually needy, so you feel privileged for this rare chance to help.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Like a miner panning for gold, you’ll spend a good part of the day prospecting. Much will be determined by the quality of your pitch, so work it out.

Whittle it down to the best 90 seconds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll interact with an authority figure. Maybe you’ve been programmed to react in a particular way, but it just doesn’t feel right to you anymore. You will now reprogram yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be practicing a skill that doesn’t come easily to you. However, because you want so much to succeed, you will acquire a high degree of excellence in regard to this task.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 13). You get better and better at creating your future. You will often project a successful outcome for your business and personal life, and it happens the way you think it will. Someone loves you deeply, and you’ll understand this in February.

There’s a new family addition in March.

July brings a financial breakthrough.

Leo and Scorpio people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 25, 21, 29 and 14.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You go into this day with big hopes. Having a high expectation of the day will control the outcome. Your performance will rise to meet the projection -- or at least come close!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have a message to impart, one you’ve been honing for a good while. You’ll know that you are ready when you can deliver your spiel right after you’ve been caught off guard.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will be sure of yourself today. You feel certain that you can get the attention you want. If you are working with customers, you will make many sales. You’ll act as if the end you seek has already come to pass.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be careful of how you use your influence, especially on the lives of your closest loved ones. You don’t want them to feel that you are trying to control them! Step back so they have plenty of room to make their own way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Group discussions are an exciting part of the day. The comments and questions of a highly intelligent person will bring up the level of discourse. That person will be you -- so don’t hold back.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When one person makes an outlook adjustment, it will cause a ripple effect that reaches to you today. Your plans will change as the people involved with those plans change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Someone who is extremely talented needs your help to get those talents out into the world. You have a way of presenting things that causes the right kind of

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 13, 1794, President George Washington approved a measure adding two stars and two stripes to the American flag, following the admission of Vermont and Kentucky to the Union. (The number of stripes was later reduced to the original 13.)

On this date: In 1733, James Oglethorpe and some 120 English colonists arrived at Charleston, S.C., while en route to settle in present-day Georgia.

In 1864, composer Stephen Foster died impoverished in a New York hospital at age 37. (In his pocket: a note which read, “Dear friends and gentle hearts.”)

In 1941, a new law went into effect granting Puerto Ricans U.S. birthright citizenship. Novelist and poet James Joyce died in Zurich, Switzerland, less than a month before his 59th birthday.

In 1982, an Air Florida 737 crashed into Washington, D.C.’s 14th Street Bridge after takeoff during a snowstorm and fell into the Potomac River, killing a total of 78 people.

In 1990, L. Douglas Wilder of Virginia became the nation’s first elected black governor as he took the oath of office in Richmond.

One year ago: Haitians piled bodies along the devastated streets of their capital a day after a powerful earthquake, while in Washington, President Barack Obama pledged an all-out rescue and relief effort.

BELMONT — Effective January 2011, MetroCast Business Services (MBS) is increasing the speed of its Business High Speed Internet packages. With the new enhancement, MBS now will offer speeds up to 22 Mbps.

“We’ve taken steps not only to make our high-speed packages even faster, but to be responsive to customers who have told us of their interest in having top speeds,” said Josh Barstow, vice president of Advanced Services for MetroCast. “By elevating our speeds, we will upgrade service to current customers while providing real alternatives for prospective customers that have even the most demanding busi-

ness needs.”

MetroCast Business Services offers four levels of Business Internet. While all customers will receive a speed boost, the monthly rates for each level of service will remain unchanged.

Through its Direct Fiber options and new Business Class Ethernet service, MBS can offer enterprise level businesses 5Mb to 1Gb symmetrical bandwidth, which provides the guaranteed speeds and connectivity that the largest of businesses needs to run smoothly.

“With more speed and connectivity, our customers’ businesses will run more efficiently, ultimately leading to real savings on their communication costs,” said Barstow.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, January 13, 2011— Page 17

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I was in a nine-year relationship with “Louisa.” We were engaged for three years before we moved in together. Once we were living in the same house, however, we couldn’t tolerate each other. We didn’t touch, kiss or have sex.

I fell in love with “Brenda” and had a torrid love affair. I didn’t get caught cheating, but I ended things because I knew it was wrong. After Louisa and I finally broke up, I reconnected with Brenda, but she was still hurt and unsure about me.

She moved on with someone else. However, Brenda keeps telling me that she loves me and needs time to sort things out.

Is she just stringing me along? She was having sex with me, and then the other guy found out. I told her she had to choose, and she chose him. But she continues to want me in her life.

Am I being used? What should I do? -- Lost in Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: Brenda has clearly chosen another man, but won’t let you go because she doesn’t want you to find happiness with someone else. You are her back-up plan.

She is being selfish and possessive and will continue to tie you to her as long as you permit it. Sorry to say, this relationship has run its course. Move on.

Dear Annie: I’m a college student in a small town. I get good grades, have a terrific job and plan to attend graduate school. I still live with my dad, as it would be nearly impossible to make ends meet living on my own. Dad is glad to have me at home, and he provides everything I need as long as I continue to study hard. I am so grateful for his dedication to my well-being.

The problem is, I’m beginning to feel restless. I have lived in the same town all my life. I have big goals and no intention

of forgetting them, but I’d like to experience more than this. I would like to take a few months off when I get my bachelor’s degree and go somewhere else. But I worry that Dad would question whether I was making a wise decision. How can I convince him that it would be good for me? And what are some options? Where should a young woman go to gain a little life experience and have some fun before diving back into school? -- Confused and Restless Dear Confused: It is not unusual to want to take a break from your schooling. Many college students travel in order to broaden their life experience. Those with limited means can often find summer jobs to cover their basic expenses. Other students do volunteer work in an exotic locale. For you, it is probably best to work within an established group, and you can check out organizations online. We recommend Habitat for Humanity (habitat.org), which helps build homes all over the world for those in need. You’ll be gaining experience while doing good.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Losing it in Canada,” who asked how to teach her children to chew with their mouths closed. Her dilemma reminded me of a suggestion I read in a magazine when my tykes were younger. It was a game called “Pass the Piggy,” and it worked nicely as motivation.

Whoever let his or her manners lapse was passed a small plastic piggy, which would sit in front of their plate until the next infraction. The offender who was holding the piggy at the end of the meal was stuck with dish duty. For younger children, the consequences may need adjustment, but this game worked wonders for our family. -- Jacksonville, Fla.
