Gilford to begin permitting process necessary to add more sand to town beach

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Selectmen authorized the Parks and Recreation Department Director Herb Greene to contract with a local landscaping company for assistance in completed the required state permits for replenishing the sand at the the town beach on Varney Point.

Greene told selectmen at the Wednesday meeting that the sand at the beach has eroded over the past years and parts of the beach, especially to the left while facing the water, are down to hard pack.

He said he spoke to a representative at the N.H. Department of Environmental Services who told him a dredge and fill application would be required.

Selectman John O’Brien said he served on an committee that went through the same process for Gunstock Acres private beach and agreed with Potter that using Belknap Landscaping as an agent would make sense. see BEaCH page 8

State offering grants to help Lake Waukewan shoreline owners comply with new Meredith septic system ordinance

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) has awarded the Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association

(LWWA) two grants to assist property owners in the Lake Waukewan watershed with the cost evaluating, repairing and replacing septic systems.

Pat Tarpey, executive director of the LWWA, said that effluent

from failing septic system has been identified as major risk to water quality throughout the Lake Winnipesaukee watershed by management plans developed for Lake Waukewan, Meredith Bay and Sanders

Bay. Since little of the watershed is served by public sewer, she said that addressing the risks of aging and failing septic systems is a concern for many communities, particularly Mersee GraNTS page 8

THE KEENE SENTINEL

Dover man charged with defrauding investors of $300k

KEENE — A Surry dermatologist has been charged with tampering with a witness, after Keene police say he urinated on the doorstep of a dentist who testified against him during a medical license suspension hearing.

Police say Donald A. Holshuh, 63, urinated onto the doorstep of Dr. Mark Wirant’s dental office at 650 Court St. on Aug. 14 at about 5:30 a.m. Holshuh formerly practiced dermatology at the Court Street address, which houses a number of medical offices. Police said Holshuh still had a key to the offices at the time of the incident.

He was arrested and charged Wednesday.

The N.H. Board of Medicine suspended Holshuh’s medical license in November 2011 for at least a year after finding he treated patients while intoxicated and altered medical records. The board of medicine said today Holshuh’s license is still suspended.

Wirant testified see KEENE page 9

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire prosecutors say a Dover man pocketed nearly $300,000 investors gave him to buy and rehabilitate distressed properties.

Nicholas Skaltsis of Dover was charged Thursday with 19 counts of felony theft for operating what prosecutors say was a fraudulent investment scheme.

He was arraigned in Rochester Circuit Court and applied for a public defender. No pleas were entered.

Skaltsis was arrested at the New Hampshire State Hospital, where he is a patient.

Senior Assistant Attorney General James Boffetti — in seeking a high bond — told the judge that Skaltsis poses a danger to himself and attempted suicide sometime after the state Bureau of Securities Regulation started its own investigation last August.

The judge set bail at $300,000, effective upon Skaltsis’ release from the hospital.

Boffetti said Skaltsis was arrested at the hospital and returned there by law enforcement officials after his arraignment.

Boffetti said that Skaltsis operates

Liberty Realty Trust and Phoenix Asset Group. He said Skaltsis solicited a number of people in the Dover area to invest in distressed properties, promising to return the funds with as much as 14 percent interest.

Prosecutors say Skaltsis bought no properties and failed to repay investors $287,000.

Jeffrey Spill, deputy director of enforcement for the Bureau of Securities Regulation, said Skaltsis’s operation amounted to a Ponzi scheme. see FRAUD page 8

Kerry begins what is expected to be easy sail through confirmation

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. John Kerry, President Barack Obama’s nominee for secretary of state, collected pledges of support Thursday and testified at his confirmation hearing that U.S. foreign policy should be defined by a helping hand as well as military strength.

The Massachusetts Democrat discussed Iran, Syria, climate change and a variety of issues with members of the Foreign Rela-

tions Committee at a hearing that recalled an unusual American life — son of a diplomat, Navy lieutenant who volunteered for Vietnam, anti-war protester, five-term senator, unsuccessful nominee for president, and Obama’s unofficial envoy.

The nearly four-hour hearing also provided an odd juxtaposition as Kerry, a member of the panel for 28 years and its chairman for the last four, sat alone in

the witness chair. At one point, Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., the incoming chairman who presided, mistakenly referred to Kerry as “Mr. Secretary.”

The current secretary, Hillary Rodham Clinton, introduced Kerry, calling him “the right choice.” She is stepping down after four years.

The committee is expected to approve see KERRY page 6

British Prime Minister Cameron doesn’t want country called Europe

Jim Hightower

Progressive & presidential Skies were overcast, and the temperature was a chilly 40 degrees in Washington on Monday when President Barack Obama took the oath of office and began his inaugural address. Given his own cool reserve and his first-term penchant for pursuing a tepid, middle-right governing agenda, I didn’t expect to get much warmth from him this go ‘round.

I was surprised. In these major speechifying moments, Obama’s rhetoric has always soared, but this time his agenda and political resolve did, for he seemed to have reached deep within himself and found an FDR-ish hotspot. (A brief digression for this historical tidbit: Roosevelt was sworn in as president four times, and Obama has now tied that record. In 2009, Chief Justice John Roberts botched the words of the oath of office at Obama’s inaugural event, so they had to redo it the next day. This year, since the formal day for taking office fell on Sunday, Roberts quietly swore him in that morning, then did it again at Monday’s public ceremony.)

Such trivia aside, in this year’s address, Obama showed some FDR, jut-jawed, presidential flair.

Unabashedly rooting his address in America’s solid progressive values, he issued a call for the Great Majority of our people — the middle class and the poor — to join him in a nationwide campaign to rebuild our country’s infrastructure, our ladder of upward mobility and (most importantly) our sense of shared purpose.

Gone from this year’s expression of his presidential intent were the bouquets of appeasement, concession and even surrender that he tossed out four years ago in a futile effort to woo recalcitrant right-wing Republican leaders into bipartisanship. Again and again, he saw that they negotiated by hissy-fit. So it has finally gotten through to him that the GOP is in the iron grip of ideological absolutists out to disembowel the U.S. government and disown any commitment to the common good.

Rather than continue a fruitless effort to “fix Washington,” the president made clear in this inaugural address that he’s going to the people themselves to rally them for the kind of sensible changes that America so desperately needs.

Predictably, right-wing pundits and defenders of the corporate order decried his address as a leftist screed and rudely partisan.

And, of course, they rolled out that old chestnut: socialist. But, in fact, the best word to characterize the speech is simply “American.” It was a straightforward restatement of the grassroots principles that

the founders first articulated and that, over two centuries, has held this sprawling, sometimes brawling country together. It’s no accident that his most-used phrase (five times) was “We the people” — the opening words of the remarkably progressive preamble to our nation’s founding document.

“We the people still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity,” Obama reminded us. “For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other — through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security — these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us.

They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.”

Passages like that abound in his 18-and-a-half-minute presentation (read it all at www.whitehouse. gov/blog/inaugural-address/). Some critics wanted loftier rhetoric “for the ages”; some wanted less of a litany of agenda items (from climate change to equal pay for women); and some regretted that a particular issue was not mentioned — I, for example, wished that getting corporate money out of our politics had gotten a nod.

But at this difficult juncture in America’s long and uncertain journey toward egalitarianism, when powerful forces of elitism are trying to push our society down the dark alley of plutocracy, this was the speech we needed. Whether you like him or not, this was Barack Obama standing tall before the people to declare without guile and for all to hear: This is what I believe; these are my guiding principles; this is where I intend to move America.

That’s political honesty. And it’s presidential. Everything else said about the speech is nitpicking. Now comes the test of political will — both his and ours — to get it done.

The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)

LETTERS Neither the delegation nor the people we represent are the enemy To the editor, Reading today’s issue (January 24) of The Laconia Daily Sun and the article about the Belknap County Commission’s response to the meeting held on Monday, January 21, there was a sense that peasants, in the form of the county delegation, had stormed the Bastile as represented by county headquarters. The phrase “appease misguided leadership”, for example, typifies the discourse emanating from County Drive.

“Appease” has many meanings which depend upon context for interpretation. The one most apropos in this instance seems to be: to pacify or attempt to pacify an enemy by granting concessions, often at the expense of principle. I am sorry that the commissioners seem a trifle agitated, as does the county administrator, who asks what the problem is, and so I would offer the following points for consideration: 1. The convention followed the letter of the law as we understand it. We did so with the knowledge that many taxpayers in the county are at a low ebb financially and not with the sense that our hard working employees should be punished instead of rewarded. The eighteen representatives who convened on Monday directly respond to about three thousand residents, many of whom have expressed concern with expanding the budget at this time.

The people who showed up on Monday to present their frustration with the budget proposed by the commissioners are not subverters of the process of governance nor are the delegates to the convention. I will concede that democracy can be a bit less tidy than commissioners meeting behind closed doors with budgetary figures revealed only to them.

2. While I appreciate the work of the commissioners on various matters, including the budget, my response to the comment “all your planning ends and their planning now starts” is that, wittingly or not, this captures the essence of our problem. The delegation and the people should be involved in the planning process from the beginning. To avoid a hierarchy condescending from on high and the subsequent backlash from the public and, possibly, the convention, it would be useful to involve the people and their representatives from the beginning of whatever planning takes place.

Neither the delegation nor the people it represents are the enemy nor are we the “other” but rather should we all seek to move the process along in service to the ideals which we seek to uphold. In my experience, it is not possible to serve and to condescend at one and the same time.

Rep. Richard B. Burchell Belknap County District 5 Gilmanton

Voters elected the people they wanted to run county government To the editor, Rep. Cormier of Alton has characterized the actions of the Belknap County Republican caucus’ incredibly partisan invocation of RSA 24:14 as an effort toward checks and balances to the budget, giving voice to the people. What she fails to mention is the damage that this action has created, and the dictatorial and undemocratic character of it.

What dire emergency has come to pass that this extreme measure was brought to bear? Has the relationship between the commissioners and the county delegation somehow slipped into chaos? Is the delegation so bereft of management skills that this disagreement could not be settled in negotiation? If so, woe betides the legislature. This kind of blunt force action

is an unconscionably poor choice that is indicative of either a total failure in leadership (most evident at the hearing) or a grandstand political stunt.

Speaking to the issue of “giving voice to the people”, every Belknap County voter who participated in the last election indicated a choice for who they wanted to run the county.

This delegation’s usurpation of commissioner’s responsibility negates the voter’s choice, and is more than troubling; it is trampling on democracy itself. Who are you to so lightly negate the will of the people as they voted?

You have broken faith with your constituents, skewed the working governance of the county, and created a partisan impasse with the minority delegates. All of this over a fiscal probsee next page

LETTERS Our public schools should be allowed to demand vaccination To the editor, In recent weeks, there has been a great deal of debate in the editorial pages of The Sun about chiropractic and the immune system. There are some, including a chiropractor, who maintain that vaccination is not needed for immunity to disease but only chiropractic manipulation. This is irresponsible. There is no real evidence that chiropractic confers immunity and any chiropractor who claims it does is acting irresponsibly, especially when he or she condemns childhood immunizations.

This is certainly not to say that there are no good chiropractors. I have gone to excellent chiropractors to whom I was referred by an M.D. As long as they stick to treating muscular and skeletal issues, they are practicing responsible medicine It is when they claim that chiropractic is good for almost anything that they are practicing quackery and thus endangering the health of individuals and the public. Such chiropractors are practicing pseudoscience, not science. They should be disciplined for malpractice and if their advice or treatment results in someone’s death or injury, they should be sued.

In the past century or more, humankind has succeeded in eliminating many diseases which previously often ended in the death of the patient.

How has modern, scientific medicine accomplished this? With antibiotics and VACCINES! One can always point to some rare side effect or to a

bad batch of vaccine but the reality is that we are far healthier with vaccines than without them.

Another recent writer to The Sun was encouraging parents to “opt out” of having their children vaccinated before starting school. I realize that schools allow this but I am not so sure they should. I am not so sure that parents have a “right” to not vaccinate their kids against childhood diseases that used to commonly kill children.

I think that like any right, “parental rights” have limitations. In this case, perhaps the rights of the child have a better claim than the rights of the parents.

I realize that some do not vaccinate for religious reasons. People who have reached the age of majority have that right. Parents also have the right to raise their kids in their faith but there are also reasonable limitations on this right. Parents cannot deny a minor life-saving medical treatment even if that is what their religion teaches.

Why should they be allowed to not vaccinate their kids?

Public schools should be allowed to demand childhood vaccination. If any exceptions are made, then the parents should homeschool their kids or send them to a private school.

Could there be a link between American students having some of the world’s lowest science scores and adults who promote pseudo-science as “science?”

E. Scott Cracraft Gilford

Commissioners being told there can never be a budget change To the editor, A favorite analogy for bureaucratic budget discussions is “the kitchen table”, the family budget. It seems simple and easy for non-bureaucrats to relate to. So let’s discuss that in light of the recent Belknap County Delegation’s suggestion to micromanage the county budget and take discretionary power away from the elected commissioners.

Imagine that you have created your household budget for fuel, mortgage, health insurance, transportation, utilities, entertainment etc. based on the current income of your family.

You have dutifully allocated a certain amount for each item based on current and projected costs. Now, imagine that there is an especially harsh winter and it becomes necessary to heat your home for a longer slightly longer season, and at the same time the price of heating fuel goes up. Or suppose you have an unexpected household emergency such as a roof leaking as a result of an ice dam? You might logi-

cally decide to juggle your budget a bit and take some money from transportation or utilities or entertainment to cover this unexpected change. Now imagine that some outside agency prevented you from making this necessary adjustment.

Would this make any sense? Well that is exactly what the delegation is attempting to do. It is telling our elected commissioners that once they have created a budget and allocated funds for specific areas — the nursing home, department of corrections, sheriff’s department, county administration — there can never be a change.

They cannot move funds from one area to another no matter what emergency or circumstance arises. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all had crystal balls and could predict the future. Having the ability to make necessary changes is essential for both kitchen table budgets as well as the bureaucratic ones.

wrong, inappropriate, and unproductive. Tell them that your vote is not theirs to caste aside. If there were a disaster that destroyed the county commission, it would be an appropriate act. Under this circumstance, it represents the worst in governance.

LETTERS I ate it all & loved every minute of our evening at Local Eatery To the editor, This New Years’ eve, my wife and I decided to try the new restaurant in Laconia located at Railroad square, called The Local Eatery. My daughter and son in law had been there a couple of times, and raved about the dining experience. So we dressed up, and off we went for our 7 p.m. reservations, not quite sure what to expect.

It was probably over two plus hours later that we attempted to move our overstuffed bodies to the door to make our way home, having had the single best dining experience we have encountered in a very long time. What is it, about this restaurant that made us feel so welcome, so much at home, yet there was nothing about the cuisine that was simple, or home cooked. We were seated at a table with a large picture window, overlooking the main square in downtown Laconia, with people nearby having their great time, yet it felt so private, so personal, yet part of something bigger. I will not confuse you with my inadequate descriptions of the specifics of the complete dinner we so thoroughly enjoyed. The soups alone kept me smiling as I devoured every bit of the Lob-

ster Bisque, (the best I have ever had!), and the onion and squash samplers were equally spectacular. To follow it up with a delicious crab dish, then a tender mini beef tenderloin pot pie, and then a main dish of Lobster in three styles, was just completely overwhelming to my palate and my stomach. The melt in your mouth gingerbread and eggnog ice cream for dessert, was more than any human should have to endure after such a complete and satisfying meal, and dining experience. I must plead guilty, I ate it all and loved every minute of the evening, especially since I had such a beautiful and loving companion to spend it with, my wife Virginia!

Thank You to Kevin and Jillian Halligan for not only providing my wife and I with a great New Years Eve dining experience, but also for giving the Lakes Region a special change from the usual meal, and doing it with such a personal touch. My wife and I watched you grow up and are very proud of the way you have provided the downtown with two very quality, and needy business’s. I give you five thumbs up!

Sled Dog Derby pushed back 2 weeks

LACONIA — The Lakes Region Sled Dog Club announced Thursday it has postponed the 84th World Championship Sled Dog Derby until February 22, 23, 24.

“The basic elements needed to hold the world class event do not currently exist to be able to hold the race as previously scheduled for February 8th,” said club President Jim Lyman.

“There currently is no snow base, minimal ice with snow cover on the lakes,

nor a good long range forecast to provide the necessary conditions within two weeks time.”

Lyman said the club believes a postponement will give it them a better opportunity to hold “The Greatest Show on Snow!” this winter.

The 2012 Derby was canceled for lack of adequate snow cover. The 2010 event suffered a similar fate.

Kerry spoke out strongly for dealing with climate change, providing food and energy security and humanitarian assistance. He also spoke of robust foreign aid, but he insisted that the country must get its fiscal house in order to lead in the world.

“More than ever, foreign policy is economic policy,” said Kerry, who described himself as a “recovering member of the supercommittee.” That bipartisan panel failed in 2011 in its mandate to come up with a deficitcutting plan.

Faced with Iran’s nuclear program, Kerry said the United State will do what it must to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but he

also signaled that diplomacy remains a viable option.

“I repeat here today: Our policy is not containment. It is prevention, and the clock is ticking on our efforts to secure responsible compliance,” Kerry said.

The senator said he was hopeful that the U.S. and other nations could make progress on the diplomatic front, but that Tehran needs to relent and agree to intrusive inspections.

“If their program is peaceful, they can prove it,” he said.

In an unexpected exchange, Kerry found himself defending Obama’s pick of Republican Chuck Hagel to be the next defense secretary against GOP criticism.

Sen. Bob Corker, the senior Republican on the panel, expressed concerns about Hagel’s support for an 80 percent reduction of U.S. nuclear weapons, a major issue for the Tennessee lawmaker and his home state.

The Y-12 nuclear facility is located near Oak Ridge, Tenn., and any cuts or delays in modernization to the nuclear arsenal would have an impact on local jobs.

BHS bonds retired; getting debt off books helps Shaker hold budget to minimal increase

By Mike Mortensen

BELMONT — The Shaker Regional School Board plans to present a $20.8 million budget for the 20132014 school year, an increase of 0.54 percent over current spending, according to the district’s business administrator.

Deb Thompson said Thursday evening that the total proposed budget, minus the one special moneyrelated warrant article, was $20,874,009. The one special warrant article that calls for an appropriation is a request for $50,000 to be placed in a buildings and grounds trust fund.

Voters will have an opportunity to comment and ask questions about the budget and other warrant articles at two public hearings scheduled for early next month. The first will be on Tuesday, Feb. 5, at 6 p.m., in the Belmont Middle School. The second will take place the following evening, also at 6 p.m. at Canterbury Elementary School. The School Board is

scheduled to convene a meeting following the Canterbury hearing to vote to place the budget on the warrant for the Shaker School District Meeting on March 8.

Thompson said that the proposed budget includes an increase of $408,130 for employee health insurance, and an increase of $330,136 for the state-run teachers’ retirement system. Another increase is $64,819 to cover the increase in pay and benefits for members of the teachers’ union. In addition, the budget includes a proposed 1 percent pay increase for non-union school district employees, at a cost of $37,130.

Thompson explained that offsetting these increases is that fact that the district has now paid off the debt on the construction of Belmont High School, a savings of $512,000, an anticipated decrease of $100,380 for special education, and a savings of $155,309 personnel costs which she said will be achieved through combination of attrition and the elimination of one position.

NOTE: Shaker District Buildings and Ground Director Doug Ellis said plans are in the works to increase the level of security in the district’s four schools.

He told the school board that within four to six weeks he hoped to install new security doors with remote activated locks to control access and along with surveillance cameras. Ellis estimated it would cost $18,000 to upgrade the principal entrances at Belmont and Canterbury elementary schools, Belmont Middle School and Belmont High. He said money to pay for the security upgrades would come partly from funds in the district’s maintenance budget, and part from savings in energy costs.

Superintendent Maria Dreyer told the board that school district administrators and school principals recently met with representatives of the Belmont and Canterbury police departments and the Belmont Fire Department to discuss security issues.

“We are looking at ways we can be safer,” she said.

EUROPE from page 2 part of it,” he said at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss resort of Davos.

In an interview with The Associated Press afterward, Cameron insisted said he wanted to make Europe “more open, competitive, flexible — so that we can secure Britain’s place within it.”

“I think it is eminently achievable,” he said.

Many in the EU, particularly among the 17 countries that use the euro, are on a drive for closer political unification, and that’s raised particular concerns recently in Britain, which has often viewed the bloc through a business prism.

“If you mean that Europe has to be a political union, a country called Europe, then I disagree,” said Cameron. On Wednesday, Cameron put an end to months of speculation by revealing he intends to hold a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU, if he wins the next general election, expected in 2015.

But many politicians in Europe think closer political ties are exactly what is needed to maintain continental unity in the face of a debt crisis that’s laid bare fundamental flaws in the euro. The European Union, which last year won the Nobel Peace Prize, effectively started amid the rubble of World War II — the motivation to avoid future wars.

Some even think Europe’s end-game has to be to resemble the United States of America. Countries would be so tied together in their economic and social fabric to make war inconceivable.

After decades of bit-by-bit integration, the links are now so tight that many European leaders refuse to publicly acknowledge that a British exit is a possibility.

Several accuse Cameron of putting the bloc at risk to deal with domestic political problems. His Conservative Party has a hardcore element that is highly skeptical of the EU, while an anti-EU party, the UK Independence Party, is gaining ground in

the polls most notably at the expense of Cameron’s Conservatives.

Italian Premier Mario Monti said Britain should set aside ideology and look at its membership in the EU with “pragmatism, which should be a British attitude of mind.”

He argued that Britons, for all their hostility to EU regulations and bureaucracy, benefit so much from the single market that they would be scared to leave — a ready access to markets and over half a billion people would be a gamble too far.

Most of British business appears to want to stay in the EU but out of the integrationist drive — but the question is whether that can be achieved.

“The vast majority of businesses across the UK want to stay in the single market, but on the basis of a revised relationship ... that promotes trade and competitiveness,” said John Langworth of the British Chambers of Commerce.

BEACH from page one He said his committee tried filling out the paperwork for themselves and he knows personally how much work and detail is needed for the application.

Greene said yesterday that the cost of hiring Belknap Landscaping would be $2,700 and the costs of the permits would be in the neighborhood of an additional $2,700.

He explained the permit costs are priced by the square foot and the area for sand replenishment is about 13,500 square feet. Added to that would be an approximate cost for the materials — he said it could be in excess of 250 yards — giving an high-end total estimate of $7,695.

Greene said that recent records — he has been in Gilford for six years — don’t show any sand replenishment. He also said that since 2005, there have been three “100-year” storms with much of the ero-

sion damage occurring in the October 2005 flood where as much as 20 inches of rain fell in parts of New Hampshire.

He also said the beach has a lot of wind erosion because the wind from Lake Winnipesaukee blows the sand into the trees where it is largely unrecoverable.

The money would come from the Recreation Facilities Capital Reserve Fund which currently has a balance of $3,306.52. There is a article to add $15,000 to the fund on this year’s annual town meeting warrant.

Potter said that if Warrant Article 17 passes the fund would be enough to complete the Gilford Beach project and resurface the tennis courts.

Selectmen recommended passage of Article 17 by a 3-to-0 vote and the Budget Committee recommend passage by a vote of 9-to-2.

GRANTS from page one edith, where Lake Waukewan is the sole source of municipal drinking water.

The grants were awarded on the heels of a health regulation bearing on septic system within 250 feet of Lake Waukewan, which the Board of Selectmen adopted in December. The regulation requires that some 26 undocumented septic systems, designated as high risk of failure, be evaluated within two years. By providing financial assistance to those who would incur expenses to comply with the regulation, the grants address one of the concerns raised by its opponents.

Tarpey explained that the grants complement the implementation of the regulation while offering assistance to property owners in Meredith, New Hampton and Center Harbor within 250 feet of the lake. The first grant, awarded through the Source Water Protection Program and amounting to nearly $12,000, will help to fund the evaluation and certi-

fication of septic systems by reimbursing property owners for half the cost up to a maximum of $250.

Tarpey indicated that priority would be assigned those systems deemed to pose the highest risk.

The second grant, awarded through the watershed assistance program, makes some $40,000 available to property owners for the repair, improvement or replacement of their septic systems. Although all properties within the Lake Waukewan watershed are eligible, Tarpey said that priority will be given to those within 250 feet of Lake Waukewan and Lake Winona at greatest risk of failing. The grant will defray one-third of the cost of repairing, improving or replacing a system up to a maximum of $4,000.

Tarpey said that LWWA will administer the grants and expected both programs would be offered

by April or May. Those seeking more information should contact the Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association at 581-6632.

FRAUD from page 2 “He used new money to pay old debts, comingling investor funds in a personal account and converted investor funds for personal use,” Sppill said.

Spill said investors seeking better returns in a down economy often miss the warning signs of a Ponzi scheme, such as a guarantee of higher than average returns.

Spill said the Skaltsis obtained $32,500 from investors in 2010 and at least $327,500 in 2011. The bureau

began receiving numerous complaints from investors in 2012, and opened its investigation in August.

The bureau has initiated action to permanently bar Skaltsis from conducting securities-related business in New Hampshire. The bureau also received an order from a Strafford County Superior Court judge freezing the Skaltsis’ assets and those of Liberty Realty Trust and the Phoenix Asset Group.

Skaltsis is due back in court Feb. 1 for a probable cause hearing.

BHS from page one the graduation venue.

The ceremony had been scheduled for the evening of Friday, June 7. But Dreyer told the board that school officials had recently been informed that Meadowbrook had scheduled a concert for that evening. Although the high school had reserved the June 7 date with Meadowbrook, Dreyer said the reservation was unconfirmed and that the contract with Meadowbrook gives the performing arts venue the right to cancel that reservation up to 60 days before the event. Dreyer said that to keep the graduation at Meadowbrook would mean rescheduling the ceremonies to either Sunday morning or afternoon or some other week day. Other than that, the school’s only other option would be to hold the event at the school itself.

The board voted to schedule the graduation for Sunday, June 9 at 10 a.m. But the board also directed school administrators to check to see that the decision did not conflict with any school district policy limiting Sunday activities.

While the date of graduation had not yet been officially set prior to Thursday’s vote, the June 7 date has been posted on the school calendar since the beginning of the school year, and Dreyer said families have already been making plans based on that date. Dreyer said she was concerned that graduates with relatives who might be coming from out of town could find the Sunday ceremonies inconvenient, especially if those visiting guests have to travel a distance and then be back to work on Monday.

But School Board Vice Chairman Heidi Hutchinson said she supported keeping the graduation at Meadowbrook because the covered concert pavilion is large enough to accommodate everyone who wants to attend.

Dreyer said that the Gilford High School’s graduation had also been impacted by the Meadowbrook schedule and that Gilford was also planning to move its graduation to Sunday, at 1 p.m.

School District Buildings and Grounds Director Doug Ellis said that Meadowbrook charges the district $2,000 to host the Belmont High graduation.

Investors battering Apple stock price NEW YORK (AP) — Apple needs to start making nice with Wall Street, analysts said Thursday as investors hammered the company’s stock.

The sell-off put Apple a hair’sbreadth away from losing its status as the world’s most valuable company.

At Thursday’s close, it was worth $423 billion, just 1.6 percent more than No. 2 Exxon Mobil Corp.

The plunge was set off by Apple’s quarterly earnings report late Wednesday, which suggested the company’s nearly decade-long growth spurt is slowing drastically.

The stock ended down $63.51 or 12 percent, at $450.50. It last traded that low a year ago. It was the biggest oneday percentage drop in the stock since Sept. 29, 2008, when two Wall Street brokerages downgraded the stock because of the recession. In dollar

terms, it was the largest ever singleday change in the stock.

Should Apple try to win back the investors who are fleeing? No, analysts say. Investors who bought the stock on the way up will be chasing the next hot stock. The company needs to make itself appealing to a new crop of people who’ve never considered the stock, analysts say, by doing what Wall Street wants and doling out more of its massive cash pile in the form of more generous dividends and stock buybacks.

Apple’s profits for the OctoberDecember quarter were flat compared with the year before. It still managed to grow revenue 18 percent from the year before, but the cost of starting up production lines for multiple new products like the iPhone 5 and iPad see next page

KEENE from page 2 against Holshuh during the hearing and told police Holshuh threatened him multiple times since then, according to an affidavit prepared by Keene police detective Donald W. Lundin.

When Wirant came into his office Aug. 14 and noticed a wet spot, he reviewed a surveillance camera, which he had installed after he noticed his mail missing multiple times in October 2011, the affidavit states.

Wirant told police he recognized Holshuh in the video, the affidavit said.

Holshuh told police he was at 650 Court St. at about 5:30 a.m. Aug. 14, but said he did not urinate on the doorstep.

He later told police he was at the office later than he previously noted, and told them this would be verified by a surveillance video from a stop he made at 7-Eleven on Court Street that

morning. However, the video showed he was at the convenience store shortly before 5:30 a.m., and the clothes he was wearing were the same clothes as the person in the video from Wirant’s office, according to the affidavit.

Holshuh was arraigned this morning in 8th Circuit District Court District Division in Keene by video from the Cheshire County jail. His bail was set at $10,000 personal recognizance, and as part of his bail conditions, he is not to have any contact with Wirant or go to 650 Court St. He is also not to use alcohol or drugs and must turn in his passport.

Besides asking when he would be released from jail, Holshuh did not speak. His attorney, Robert Moses, said he would probably be released later this morning.

Holshuh’s probable cause hearing is set for Feb. 6 at 1:30 p.m.

PET OF THE WEEK IS SINATRA ‘Young blue eyes’, this

dashing boy has rebounded back to NH Humane Society, just like the tennis balls he loves to play with.

Take note: if you, as an adopter, find your pet choice from NHHS doesn't mesh well, or you are no longer able to provide for the dog you agreed to give a forever home, please bring him back to NHHS. Sinatra was bounced from his original home to another and then another, the third home surrendered him to us not realizing he came from NHHS. A totally sad and entirely avoidable scenario, Sinatra would have been accepted back immediately if things didn’t work out as planned.

While he lost weight from all of this uncertainty, his spirit is still strong. He is a friendly outgoing lad, very, active, and totally driven to play, retrieve, catch toys and Frisbees in mid air and so much more. Don't be fooled by his name, he doesn’t howl or sing at all, but he does have those fabulous blue eyes.

Please come and visit Sinatra today!

Committee to be formed to look at fairness of Gilford sewer fee policy

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Selectmen this week voted unanimously to establish an ad hoc Sewer Advisory Committee that will, among other things, evaluate the fairness of the administrative fees that are assessed to property owners who use the town sewage system.

The committee is established for one year ending December 1, 2013 and will be made up of the director of Public Works, the Finance director, and up to five additional members who are Gilford residents and connected to the sewer system.

The five members will be chosen by selectmen.

The committee was spawned by the members of the Gilford Meadows Condominium Association through its treasurer Mark Corry who cried foul when selectmen set new sewer rates last December.

Corry’s objection was not with the new administrative rate — it went down to $14.60 from $17.55 per quarter — but with the notion that each household in his condominium unit pays the administrative fee despite the fact that the entire complex has

only one meter.

His rational was that if all 40 units installed their own meters then the meter reader would have to make 40 separate stops. As it is, “he drives in, goes to the back of the utility house, reads the meter and leaves.”

He said the administrative fees and flow rate are part of the dues paid to the association and not individually assessed.

Corry argued further that because many in his association and other similar mobile home parks and associations in Gilford are seasonal, installing separate meters could make sense to some because part-time residents would pay less in flow rate.

Town Administrator Scott Dunn said the way imposition of the administrative fee for each dwelling is consistent with the ordinance is written and any change to the way it is imposed would require a change in the ordinance.

The committee is tasked with making a recommendation to selectmen before the end of this year as to whether or not the ordinance should be rewritten.

Belmont police break up underage drinking party BELMONT — After responding to a call from a concerned parent, police broke up an underage drinking party on Scenic Drive just after midnight on Saturday.

Lt. Richard Mann said the eight teens were playing cards and had very minor amounts of alcohol in their system.

He said those over 18 were charged with one count each of unlawful possession of alcohol and all were released to the custody of a responsible adult.

Police also arrested Corinne Hanscom, 54, of 140 Perley Hill Road in Sanbornton on Junuary 18 at the Belknap Mall parking lot and charged her with a driving after being deemed an habitual offender. She was released on personal recognizance bail.

Police made five additional during last week. Four were for traffic related offenses and Victor Thompson, 45, of 125 Main St. Apt. B was arrested on an outstanding warrant.

from preceding page Mini meant that less revenue flowed to the bottom line. The company’s gross profit margin in the recent quarter was 38.6 percent compared with 44.7 percent a year earlier.

Of even more concern to investors: Apple’s forecast sales growth for the current quarter is around 7 percent compared with a year ago —far from the 50-percent-plus rate it’s often hit in recent years.

Apple usually lowballs its forecasts, but Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer indicated the company will provide more realistic figures from now on.

To be sure, Apple products haven’t lost their appeal. Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company couldn’t make enough iPhones, iPads and iMacs in the holiday quarter to satisfy demand.

The problem is rather that Apple hasn’t launched a revolutionary new product since the iPad in 2010.

It’s a lot to ask that a company reinvent consumer electronics every few years, but Apple did it three times in a decade with the launch of the iPod, iPhone and iPad. In doing so, the company left investors with the expectation of perpetually zooming growth.

Now, Apple looks quite different.

It’s still massively profitable, but its

growth is moderate, making it similar to companies like IBM Corp. and Microsoft Corp.

“The company is at a bit of a crossroads,” said Nomura Securities analyst Stuart Jeffrey. “It’s gone from launching big hit products where they didn’t have to look at the competitive landscape — they just did their own thing — and the growth meant they didn’t have to focus on the whims of Wall Street.”

The problem, Jeffrey said, is that Apple hasn’t adjusted to this reality and worked to find new constituencies among investors. Those who invest in fast-growing companies or chase rising stocks have abandoned the company. Apple doesn’t do enough to attract other investor types: value investors who seek out the stocks of undervalued companies with steady, predictable profits, and income investors who look for stocks with generous dividends and low risk.

Analyst Brian White at Topeka Capital Markets said the lack of interest from value-oriented investors means Apple lacks a safety net when there’s disappointing news, like Wednesday’s earnings report. When other companies’ stocks fall, value investors tend to swoop in, putting a floor under the stock and dampening volatility.

SPORTS GHS varsity girls earn win #7 over Berlin The Gilford High School varsity girls’ basketball team improved its record to 7-4 by beating Berlin 52-33 on January 22. Gilford jumped out to a quick lead in the first quarter, but it was a 10-0 run in the third quarter that gave Gilford a comfortable 17 point lead. Sarah Veasey scored 6 points in that quarter to spark the Golden Eagles. Coach Rick Forge stated “It was a good defensive effort tonight”.

Leading Gilford was Abby Harris with 11 points and ten rebounds, Hayley Jakubens had ten points, Kelsey Buckley nine points, Sarah Veazey had six points, five assists and two steals, Paige Laliberte six points, Cassidy Bartlett six points, five assist and two steals, Kayla Orton had four points, nine rebounds and Molly Dietrich had ten steals and five assists.

Gilford’s next game is home on Friday against Farmington.

The Gilford JV basketball team remains undefeated at 11-0 with a 45-35 win over Berlin.

The GHS boys’ varsity team was not as fortunate as the girls’ teams, suffering its first loss of the season to the visitors from Berlin. After the 54-76 defeat, the Golden Eagles have a record of eight wins and one loss.

LHS girls win, boys lose against Prospect Mountain The Laconia High School girls’ varsity basketball team improved to nine wins, two losses on the season after defeating Prospect Mountain High School on Laconia 22. The final score was 60 to 12.

LHS bowling team ready for its due

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Many of their classmates and teachers, according to members of the Laconia High School bowling team, aren’t aware that the school has a NHIAA-sanctioned team in the sport. When the team members inform their peers that the team exists, the revelation often produces disbelief if not bemusement. Now in its fourth year, the team is offering competition to its rivals, developing the skills of its athletes and is ready to command respect.

As a way to raise the team’s profile, as well as to raise funds to offset expenses, the team hosted a competition last night against members of the LHS faculty. Each player collected sponsorships for his or her match, and the general public was welcomed to watch.

The bowling team was started by coach Sheila Labrie, who this year passed the reins to her former assistant coach Jack Batchelder. The team has grown from five students to ten and travels around the state to bowl as a team against the eleven other New Hampshire high schools that offer the sport.

It took until last year for Laconia to earn its first match victory – there’s usually at least a few schools at each competition – and has finished in second place a couple of times this season.

More importantly, said Batchelder, the team members, some of whom are new to the sport, are seeing regular improvements, thanks to twice-weekly practices at Funspot. Batchelder said, “In bowling, it isn’t always about beating the other team, it’s about see BOWL next page

SPORTS LMS A boys find winning path The Laconia Middle School A boys’ basketball team continued to win as it bested opponents from Barnstead, 48-21, on January 22. Carter Doherty, coming off of an ankle injury, had a big day with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Jacob Filgate had another double double with 11 points, 10 boards, and eight assists. Nick Drouin chipped in nine points and four rebounds. Defensively, Nick Murray and Dalibor Kresovic paved the way with four steals each.

Guards Jake Ellis and Christian Gaspa showed their quickness by picking their opponents’ pocket three times each. The win moved the Sachems to 8-6 and furthered a four game win streak.

In game their second game in as many days, the young Sachems played host to Newfound and they were able to keep the win streak going with a solid 58-25 victory. Many players contributed on the offensive end, led by Jake Filgate with 11 points and nine rebounds. Carter Doherty continued his dominance in the paint with 15 points and five boards. Nick Drouin added a season high 12 points and eight boards while JV from preceding page Timberwolves to pull out the victory. Laconia was paced by Jordan McCrea’s 15 points, Nate Batchelder’s nine points, and Cody Greenwood’s seven.

James Salta, Andrew Salta, Connor Doherty and Brendan Mooney helped to lead the defensive effort and Kyle Chiasson dished out several assists. Also supporting the win for Laconia was Gage Baker, Dylan Dockham, Josh Emond and Andre McNeill.

Laconia plays next on Friday at Belmont.

Riley Roy and Drew Muzzey each threw down six points. Defensively, it was the guard tandem of Parker Minor and Filgate that picked off two passes each to lead the way. After winning their fifth game out of their last six, Coach Roy indicated he thinks “the ship is finally headed in the right direction.”

Local kids take 1st place at Elks Hoop Shoot in Lebanon At the Elks Hoop Shoot Northern District competition, held earlier this month in Lebanon, Delaney Ross of Laconia won first place in the 10-11 year old girls category, and Griffin Embree of Belmont won the boys’ category for the same age group. Both shooters will advance to the statewide contest, held Feb. 3 at Portsmouth High School, where they will shoot for the chance to move on to the New England regional contest in March.

Martinez returns to Red Sox as assistant to GM

BOSTON (AP) — Former Boston manager Terry Francona gave Pedro Martinez a big hug along with some advice to help him in his new job as a special assistant to the Red Sox general manager.

A three-time Cy Young Award winner and eight-time All-Star who spent seven seasons in Boston, Martinez returned to the city where he had his best years. His role is still undefined but Martinez said he would be willing to help with the pitchers, work in the minor leagues and generally be a friend to GM Ben Cherington.

BOWL from preceding page improving your scores.” In that regard, he said, “the kids can see encouragement.”

Setting the high mark for the team has been Zina Labrie, who is rolling an average of 143, making her the 49th best high school bowler in the state. If she can maintain or improve that average, she’ll qualify for a spot in the state championship match.

Like most of her team mates, Labrie doesn’t play any other sports for the high school. Bowling is her sport, something she’s pursued since her pre-school years. “I grew up with it,” she said, adding that bowling offers a unique experience among other athletic offerings. “It’s exercise, but in a fun, casual way.”

At a recent practice, the team exhibited that “fun, casual” attitude, yet one that was tempered with focus on technique and a desire to improve. Players consoled one another when they failed to convert a spare, and high-fived for strikes.

As coach, Batchelder said his challenge is to protect that balance. “They’re athletes, they put a lot of pressure on themselves,” yet he wants the players to have fun and get hooked on a sport they can take with them long after they’ve graduated.

Samantha Batchelder, Jack’s daughter, plans to do just that. In fact, she’d like to coach a bowling team in her adult life. First, though, she’s got a nearer goal to accomplish. Samantha, a senior, is

just behind Labrie on the team’s average points list and hopes to finish the season as one of the top 64 bowlers in the state, high enough to earn a ticket to the state match. “That’s one of my goals, I’ve said that from the beginning.”

Whether she achieves that or not, she’s been pleased to see what the young team has become. “I feel like we’ve grown a lot,” she said. “It’s a fun atmosphere, a fun team... We keep improving, getting better.” She’d like the sport to get the same regard that other sports are given by the general student body. “They don’t know, but they take it as a joke.”

But, she insisted, “It counts as any other sport.”

The bowling team has proven to be an athletic outlet for some students who might not otherwise join a sports team. There are a few others, though, that were lured away from more conventional teams.

Lily Chanthasak is one example. “I used to be a cheerleader for winter sports,” she said, adding, “I’m also a drama kid.” Some friends from drama club encouraged her to try bowling this year, something she had never tried before, and she’s happy she did.

She’s quickly catching up to her experienced team mates, at a recent match bowling 51 pins above her prior average. “It’s just a different atmosphere than other sports,” she said. However, she hasn’t completely shaken her cheer leading habits. “I still cheer people on a lot.”

Women in combat face doubts over emotions & ability SAN DIEGO (AP) — During her time in Iraq, Alma Felix would see her fellow female soldiers leave the Army installations where she worked at a desk job and head into combat with their male counterparts.

But many returned home feeling that few knew of their contributions.

“I guess we do disappear into the background,” the 27-year-old former Army specialist said. “You always hear we’re losing our sons out there. And although women have fallen out there, you really don’t see very much of it.”

Now, with the Pentagon ending its ban on women in combat, Felix and other female troops hope the military’s plan to open hundreds of thousands of combat jobs to them will lead society to recognize that they, too, can be courageous warriors.

“We are the support. Those are the positions we fill and that’s a big deal — we often run the show — but people don’t see that,” she said. “Maybe it will put more females forward and give people a sense there are women out there fighting for our country.

“It’s not just you’re typical poster boy, GI Joes doing it,” she said.

Thursday’s announcement promises to change the image of battlefields around the world, as debate rages on whether women can fight like men. What’s clear is that the move will pave the way for women to earn higher pay and earn better promotions.

The shift is the military’s biggest since the policy banning openly gay service members was lifted in 2011. And as was the case with “don’t ask, don’t tell,” troops were expected to fall in line with the new rules.

The change overturns a 1994 rule prohibiting women from being assigned to smaller ground combat units, and is expected to open up more than 230,000 combat positions that have been off limits to women.

“We owe it to them to allow them to pursue every avenue of military service for which they are fully prepared and qualified,” said Defense Secretary

Leon Panetta. He said women have shown they are willing to fight and die alongside their male counterparts.

Across the country, members of the military of both sexes said they accepted the policy so long as women will have to meet the same standards as their male colleagues. Both men and women were skeptical about putting females in infantry units, however.

“This gives us more people to work with,” said Army Sgt. Jeremy Grayson, assigned to field infantry at Fort Bliss, Texas. “But they would have to be able to do the physical stuff that men do. ... They have to be able to pull their own weight.”

Panetta said the qualifications will not be lowered and acknowledged that not all women will meet them. He said allowing women to serve in combat roles will strengthen the ability of the U.S. to win wars.

It will be up to the military service chiefs to recommend whether women should be excluded from more demanding and deadly positions, such as Navy SEALs or the Army’s Delta Force.

Veterans and some in the military argue the public may not be ready to handle seeing more female troops come home in body bags or with lost limbs.

“It’s harder to see a mother or a daughter dead. We (men) are seen as protectors,” said Army Staff Sgt. Anthony Lemaitre.

Army Spc. Jean Sardonas, who works as a lab technician at a hospital, said she understood Lemaitre’s opinion.

Sardonas said she had thought about joining an Army team that conducts social work in the field and faces combat situations. But she’s since become a mother, changing her perspective, and said women tend to be more emotional.

“If you see the enemy, well, that’s the enemy, but now if you see a kid with a gun you’re going to think twice,” she said.

Jindal says GOP must stop being ‘stupid party’ CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal called on the Republican Party to “stop being the stupid party” on Thursday as GOP leaders promised fundamental changes to help stave off future losses.

In the keynote address at the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting, Jindal said the GOP doesn’t need to change its values but “might need to change just about everything else we are doing.”

“We’ve got to stop being the stupid party. It’s time for a new Republican Party that talks like adults,” he said. “We had a number of Republicans damage the brand this year with offensive and bizarre comments. I’m here to say we’ve had enough of that.”

Jindal, thought to be a potential 2016 presidential contender, offered little detail in the 25-minute address. He called on conservatives to shift their focus from Capitol Hill number crunching to “the place where conservatism thrives — in the real world beyond the Washington Beltway.”

GOP strategist Ari Fleischer suggested that his party could learn an important lesson from Demo-

crats on messaging: “Republicans talk policy and Democrats talk people. Republicans can learn a little bit from Democrats on how to make those people connections with our policies.”

Asked whether he was considering a presidential bid in 2016, Jindal brushed aside the question.

“Any Republican that’s thinking about talking about running for president in 2016 needs to get his head examined,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do.”

He called on conservatives to stop fighting with Democrats on their terms about the size of government in Washington and focus instead on connecting with voters across the nation.

“Today’s conservatism is completely wrapped up in solving the hideous mess that is the federal budget, the burgeoning deficits, the mammoth federal debt, the shortfall in our entitlement programs,” he said.

“We seem to have an obsession with government bookkeeping. This is a rigged game, and it is the wrong game for us to play.”

Michael Vincent Band holding CD release party Friday New Horizons Band

LACONIA — The Michael Vincent Band will be releasing their new CD this Friday at the Tower Hill Tavern in Weirs Beach, beginning at 8 p.m. The new disc will be available for purchase, and the band will be playing their own brand of blues all evening.

The band has been Michael Vincent. (Courtesy home in Gilford since photo) mid-November, reconnecting with local fans and friends, and recording this album in their free time. They decided not to do this one in the studio, instead using their own recording and mixing experience to try something new.

Bass player Dan Mack puts it this way, “This is the album we are most proud of so far. We recorded it ourselves in our own homemade studio at a friend’s house, where we were able to relax and record rather than to rush in the studio setting always being on the clock. That was the real difference in making this one.”

Their fourth CD, Puttin’ the Word on the Streets,

features more original songs and more versatile performances. The title and cover photo refer to a familiar phrase from “The Blues Brothers” movie, and where Cab Calloway helps the Blues Brothers spread the word about their upcoming concert. The band hopes their fans will help spread the word and make their CD release party a success.

CD sales will help the band finance their trip next week to Memphis, to represent the Gulf Coast Blues Society in the International Blues Challenge, from January 29 to February 2, in the clubs on Beale Street. No stranger to the IBC, the Michael Vincent Band was featured in the IBC Youth Showcase in 2011, representing the Granite State Blues Society at the time. Since then they have been touring the Gulf Coast and playing from Florida to Texas and up to Nashville, learning whatever they can from each unique area of the country. After the IBC, they will head back to the Gulfport, Mississippi area until June when they plan to return to the Lakes Region for Motorcycle Week.

The new CD will also be available for purchase from their website beginning Friday www.michaelvincentband.com.

Dr. Jonna Fulton joins staff of VCA Lakes Region and Laconia Animal Hospitals LACONIA — VCA Lakes Region and Laconia Animal Hospitals are very excited to welcome a new veterinarian to their staff – but really they are welcoming her back.

Dr. Jonna Fulton is well known to many pet owners in the Lakes Region. She worked at the Lakes Region practice from 2001 through 2004, and more recently she was the owner of the Winnipesaukee Veterinary Emergency Center in Meredith from 2008 through 2012.

Dr. Fulton graduated from Louisiana State University’s school of Veterinary Medicine, and received further training during a small animal veterinary internship from the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Fulton’s unique background means she is equally skilled at handling injured or critically ill pets, as well as all aspects of wellness for healthy

patients. “I’m excited to be working again at a regular veterinary practice. While I still love many aspects of emergency medicine, here I can see pets year after year, and really help their owners give them the longest and best life possible,” Dr. Fulton comments.

Dr. Fulton also has special interests in ultrasound, surgery, and critically ill patients.

She holds a special place in her heart for treating and caring for police K-9’s. Over the years, she has volunteered her veterinary services for the medical and surgical treatment of many local police K-9’s and believes that the K-9’s serve a vital role in making our community safer.

Dr. Fulton resides locally and in her free time enjoys hiking, archery, and spending time with her family and her chocolate Labrador, Mr. Finn.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy TUNDRA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Silence isn’t golden -- it’s platinum.

If you resist the urge to offer an opinion, judgment or information tidbit, you’ll see the truth of the matter: When people are really receptive, they’ll ask for help.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’re so wrapped up in a certain want (or perhaps it’s even boiled to the point of desire by now) that you are not seeing all the work you’ll have to do to have this. Good -- that would only deter you. You can do this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

It’s as though someone is pushing you from behind, shoving you into the exciting flow of life. You’ll take action because the current way is no longer acceptable, or perhaps even bearable to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are in your element with the sun and planets cheering you on. All you want to do with this cosmic boost is help others. Your pure intentions will help the world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s still too early to judge how successful a venture will be. But one thing is sure -the lost days are behind you. You’ve set your sights on a goal that is attainable and you’ve a clear map to get there too.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 25). You have a destination in mind, and the year presents a rather roundabout way of getting there, but rest assured, you will arrive. A mentor helps. Attain one in the next five weeks. You’ll be accepted in a small group or make it on an important list in March. Your education pays off in June with money. Cancer and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 4, 33, 19 and 41.

by Chad Carpenter

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You nearly have a clear vision of where you want to go. Soon you’ll be asked to impart that that vision to others.

Work on your presentation, and you’ll become even more convicted.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The environment you create around you gives others a hint. If you’ve put a great deal of care and deliberation into it, they will feel that they follow suit by bringing their best efforts to your table.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The people you work with may contribute minimally to your bottom line now.

And if you have a partner, don’t expect much help from that person today. But don’t get mad either -- tomorrow everything changes.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). With the moon in your sign you are soulful, wise and probably completely unaware of your influence on others. Because of this, people want to get close to you.

Expect company.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You probably feel yourself starting to let go of something you use to cling to, whiteknuckle style. You’re going to be a slightly different person once you drop this, and you’re really ready for the change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The enjoyment of home and family may seem at odds with the pursuit of pleasure and entertainment. Instead of trying to integrate the two, decide which one is more important to you tonight and do that.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re mentally sparking on all cylinders. You’ll come up with solutions that people aren’t yet ready to hear. Write them down so you don’t forget. Save them until you sense the timing is right.

Yesterday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, January 25, 2013— Page 17

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Jan. 25, the 25th day of 2013.

There are 340 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 25, 1863, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln accepted Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside’s resignation as commander of the Army of the Potomac, and replaced him with Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker.

On this date: In 1533, England’s King Henry VIII secretly married his second wife, Anne Boleyn, who later gave birth to Elizabeth I. In 1787, Shays’s Rebellion suffered a setback when debt-ridden farmers led by Capt. Daniel Shays failed to capture an arsenal at Springfield, Mass.

In 1890, reporter Nellie Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane) of the New York World completed a round-the-world journey in 72 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes.

In 1915, Alexander Graham Bell inaugurated U.S. transcontinental telephone service between New York and San Francisco.

In 1947, American gangster Al Capone died in Miami Beach, Fla., at age 48.

In 1949, the first Emmy Awards, honoring local Los Angeles TV programs and talent, were presented at the Hollywood Athletic Club.

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy held the first presidential news conference to be carried live on radio and television.

In 1971, Charles Manson and three women followers were convicted in Los Angeles of murder and conspiracy in the 1969 slayings of seven people, including actress Sharon Tate. Idi Amin seized power in Uganda by ousting President Milton Obote (oh-BOH’-tay) in a military coup.

In 1981, the 52 Americans held hostage by Iran for 444 days arrived in the United States.

In 1993, a gunman shot and killed two CIA employees outside agency headquarters in Virginia (Pakistani national Mir Aimal Kansi was later tried and convicted of the shootings, and executed). Sears announced that it would no longer publish its famous century-old catalog.

In 1998, Pope John Paul II ended his historic journey to Cuba.

One year ago: U.S. military forces flew into Somalia in a nighttime helicopter raid, freeing an American and a Danish hostage and killing nine pirates. U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona returned to Congress to officially tender her resignation a year after she was shot and severely wounded in her home district. First lady Michelle Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, along with celebrity chef Rachael Ray, announced new guidelines for more healthful school meals during a visit with elementary students in Alexandria, Va. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Gregg Palmer is 86.

The former president of Georgia, Eduard Shevardnadze, is 85. Actor Dean Jones is 82. Country singer Claude Gray is 81. Movie director Tobe Hooper is 70. Actress Leigh Taylor-Young is 68.

Free tax help for low-tomoderate income taxpayers in Laconia area LACONIA — The United Way has announced this year’s scheduled for the free tax preparation for low to moderate taxpayers in the Lakes Region.

This program is in its 8th year in the Lakes Region and is supported by the IRS and Belknap-Merrimack Community Action Program.

This free tax preparation service helps ensure tools such as the Earned Income Tax Credit are fully accessed for working families in need. This program also helps connect families with other support systems in the Lakes Region, giving residents a better chance to find their way to the kind of financial stability that will help keep them out of the grips of poverty.

The program is supported by a team of volunteers who have gone through rigorous IRS training in order to better serve the clients.

This year’s program will again be supervised

by Kathy Kay-Pfenning, who is in her third year of running the program in the Lakes Region.

At the Laconia Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, eligible families can claim their tax refund and the EITC at no cost. Free tax preparation services will be available at the Lakes Region Family Center (CAP Office), 121 Belmont Rd (Rte 106) in Laconia starting January 25 through March 29. Services are available by appointment only on Thursday and Friday evenings 5–8 p.m. and every other Saturday morning 9 a.m. to noon.

To set up an appointment or for more information, including what to bring to the tax site, call 603-832-6047.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, January 25, 2013— Page 19

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am in the process of converting to Judaism.

Among other things, this involves eating only kosher food.

Initially, it was difficult, but I know that doing this brings me closer to understanding more of my new religion.

My problem is that most of my friends, including some Jewish friends, have an issue with my eating habits. They say eating kosher is “outdated,” or they imply that I think I’m better than they are. They actively discourage my efforts.

This confuses me because I don’t scold my friends for eating cheeseburgers or pork, and I never insist on any special treatment.

Conversion is not an easy process, and I’d like the support of my friends, but it’s hard to keep my head up sometimes, especially during meals together. How do I approach this?

Do I need new friends? -- Questioning in California Dear Questioning: Maybe. Your friends think conversion will change who you are and the relationship they have with you. They feel marginalized by your new religious interest and are trying to undermine your convictions. This is all about them and their needs. If you are truly committed to conversion, you should not be so easily derailed. Please talk to your rabbi. If you attend services at a synagogue, see whether they have a social group for those in your age bracket. You are more likely to make new friends and find support there.

Dear Annie: Some years ago, my wife and I met a lovely couple while on a trip in Germany. We had such a good time together that we made arrangements for the four of us to take other trips. We kept in contact with cards, phone calls and emails. On the occasions where we traveled to their city, we had lunch with them.

We hadn’t heard from them in a while, so I sent a card that

came back stamped “Deceased.” We don’t read the obituaries from their city, so we have no idea whether both of them died or one died and the other moved, or what happened.

This couple had several children who may have known of our friendship, although I never learned the children’s names. It surely would be nice if their survivors would browse through the couple’s address book and let the contacts know of their passing. -- Miss Them in Minnesota Dear Minnesota: This is a situation that comes up whenever someone dies. The survivors do not always think of going through the deceased’s address book -- written or electronic -- and sending notes to those listed. But it would be a kindness to do so and something the deceased surely would have wanted. You can look online for your friends’ obituaries and any other information that might indicate how to contact one of their children. We hope you find out what happened and have the opportunity to express your condolences.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Too Many Leftovers” about people who don’t RSVP to invitations. It encouraged me to share my experience.

Our two daughters were married in the same year. The first wedding brought the same issue of the lack of receiving RSVPs. When it came to the second wedding, I had our new son-in-law use his calligraphy skills to make a nice sign that read “For those who did not RSVP.” I placed the sign on the gift table next to a jar of peanut butter, a knife and some soda crackers.

I don’t know why my wife and the mother of the groom didn’t see the humor. I have shared this with several people, and the men always think it’s hilarious. -- Father of the Brides

PSU’s Museum of the White Mountains receives significant collection of materials PLYMOUTH — An impressive collection of White Mountains related books, maps and historical material has been donated to Plymouth State University’s Museum of the White Mountains (MWM) by John W. (Jack) and Anne H. Newton of South Natick, Massachusetts. The Newtons said they chose to donate the 6,000 volume collection to the MWM because the gift will allow the public to enjoy and understand the region’s rich history.

“By placing our collection at PSU’s Museum of the White Mountains, this resource will receive the curatorial attention it deserves and will now be available in perpetuity to scholars, researchers, students and interested members of the public. It is our hope that others will make similar donations in the future to augment the Museum’s research resources and to keep the collection current.”

The Museum, set on the picturesque campus of Plymouth State University, will open in February with presentations, exhibitions and programs for researchers, students and the public. PSU President Sara Jayne Steen said Newton’s gift is a great example of commitment to the region.

“Plymouth State is proud to be the recipient of such an extraordinary collection, long admired by

White Mountains devotees,” Steen said. “Jack and Anne’s generosity will assure the treasure they have

from preceding page members and learn about the benefits of membership and the incredible charitable contributions.

RSVP is required and the event is being held on the third floor of the Belknap Mill in downtown Laconia. This is an adult event and participants are invited to bring their own adult beverages. Soda, coffee, tea, ice and other non-alcoholic beverages will be provided by Gilford Rotary. Participants are asked to bring your choice of a main dish, hors d’oeuvres, salad or a dessert.

assembled will become an invaluable resource to all who are committed to the study and preservation of the White Mountains’ historical, cultural and environmental legacy, just as the Newtons are.”

Jack Newton has enjoyed a long and productive relationship with organizations dedicated to preserving and advocating for the White Mountains region. Newton is a life member of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), served as its Treasurer and on the governing Council during the 1970s. In 1976 he was Chairman of the AMC’s 100th Year Centennial Celebration. He also served as a Trustee and Treasurer of the Mount Washington Observatory for more than 15 years and remains a Life Trustee of that organization. Newton first became acquainted with the White Mountains region as a college student (Dartmouth College ‘53, Tuck School ‘54). After entering the working world as a CPA in Boston, and later as a corporate financial officer, he stayed in New England, often visiting northern New Hampshire and in 1967 eventually acquiring an old farmhouse property in the hamlet of Lost Nation, east of Lancaster, a town in which Mrs. Newton’s maternal ancestors were early settlers in 1816. It was during this time they started seriously collecting White Mountain material.
