Hundreds of tacos sent to Conn. mayor after quip about Latino complaints

EAST HAVEN, Conn.

(AP) — The office of East Haven’s mayor was blasted with prank phone calls and a delivery of hundreds of tacos Thursday after his nowfamous quip that he would address accusations of anti-Latino bias by eating tacos, a remark that left emotions raw in the town’s large Hispanic community.

Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. has apologized several times but resisted calls for his resignation over remarks he made to a television reporter following Tuesday’s arrests of four town police officers, men described by one FBI official as “bullies with badges.”

Maturo held regular meetings Thursday as Connecticut’s Latino and Puerto Rican Affairs Commission called on him to resign.

“The Latino community is upset and deeply wounded in what should have been a day of redemption for them,” the commission’s acting executive direcsee TACOS page 7

Finger pointing part of intense airport tarmac discussion between President Obama and governor of Arizona ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– TOP OF THE NEWS––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says she meant no disrespect when she pointed a finger at President Barack Obama during an intense discussion on an airport tarmac. But the Republican governor says the Democratic president showed disrespect for her by abruptly ending their conversation.

The brief encounter — out of earshot of observers but captured on camera — was a highly visible demonstration of the verbal and legal skirmishing that has regularly

occurred between Brewer and Obama’s administration over illegal immigration and other issues.

Airport arrivals for presidents normally involve mere pleasantries between those involved, but Brewer and Obama have a history. And part of that history is what apparently got things going, according to accounts provided by Brewer and the White House.

Brewer said that during their talk, she invited Obama to visit Arizona to hear

about her administration’s achievements and to visit the U.S.-Mexico border, which has been a point of friction between the two because of illegal immigration issue.

Obama then said Brewer’s recently published book mischaracterized a 2011 White House meeting between them.

Brewer said in an interview Thursday, at another Phoenix-area airport, that she talks a lot with her hands and that her pointing a finger at Obama during their see ARIZONA page 10

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — The nearcapacity crowd of 12,000 seemed to be just waiting for somebody to bring up the subject.

Finally, when someone rose in Joe Paterno’s defense to argue that he had been made a scapegoat, the audience was instantly on its feet, applauding thunderously.

Anger and resentment came spilling out at a campus memorial service Thursday for the football coach, two months after he was summarily fired by the trustees.

It was Nike founder and CEO Phil Knight who broke the dam, defending Paterno’s handling of child-sex allegations that were leveled against a former coaching assistant.

“If there is a villain in this tragedy, it lies in that investigation and not in Joe Paterno’s response,” Knight said. Paterno’s widow, Sue, was among those rising to their feet.

Later, Paterno’s son Jay received a standing ovation when he declared: “Joe Paterno

left this world with a clear conscience.”

Capping three days of mourning on campus, the 2½-hour ceremony was filled with lavish praise that probably would have embarrassed Paterno, who died Sunday of lung cancer at 85 after racking up more wins — 409 — than any other major-college football coach and leading his team to two national championships in 46 seasons. see PATERNO page 9

CONCORD (AP) — Dozens of university administrators and law enforcement officers on Thursday opposed a bill in front of a New Hampshire Senate committee to allow guns on all public property, including

public universities.

The bill, which passed the House 180144, would repeal all existing regulations on public property. Any future restrictions would have to be by state statute.

Bill co-sponsor, Rep. J.R. Hoell, R-Dunbarton, said the bill would ensure a “patchwork of gun rules” did not exist across the state. Hoell said the state provided the see GUNS page 12

Words in defense of negative campaigning Those who take a certain pleasure in denouncing the evils negative political advertising should have spent last week in South Carolina.

They could have plunked down in front of TV sets, especially during morning, early evening and late evening news programs, and by adroit use of the remote control seen one negative spot after another.

They could have watched again and again the Ron Paul campaign’s stinging denunciation of Newt Gingrich for, among other things, taking $1.6-million from Freddie Mac. They could have seen a similar assault on Gingrich from the proRomney Restore Our Future super PAC (by the way, how do you restore something which by definition doesn’t yet exist?).

They could have taken delight in the Rick Santorum campaign’s ad highlighting similarities between Mitt Romney’s record on issues and that of Barack Obama, or in Paul’s stinging ad denouncing Santorum as a “big government conservative.”

All of these ads, you may notice, targeted the three candidates who, coming out of Iowa and New Hampshire, were considered by themselves and others as having some chance of winning the nomination: Romney, Gingrich and Santorum.

Left largely unattacked were Paul, who confesses he has no chance to win, and Rick Perry, who withdrew two days before the vote.

There is a near-unanimous sentiment among the high-minded that negative advertising is a bad thing.

It pollutes the air even more than carbon dioxide. It breeds cynicism about politics and government. It is somehow unfair.

In response, let me say a few words in praise of negative ads.

First, elections are an adversary business, zero-sum games in which only one candidate can win and all the others must lose. Sometimes it’s smart for competitors to concede points to their opponents. But it’s irrational to expect one side to sing consistent praises of the other.

In second-grade elections, it may be considered bragging to vote for yourself. But it is silly to expect adults to behave this way. It is especially foolish to expect that candidates who seem headed to win elections should escape criticism on television. Every candidate has weak points and makes mistakes.

It’s not dirty pool for opponents to point them out.

Second, it is said that negative

ads can be inaccurate and unfair.

Well, yes — but so can positive ads. An inaccurate or unfair ad invites refutation and rebuttal, by opponents or in the media, and can boomerang against the attacker.

So candidates have an incentive to make attacks that can be sustained.

Sometimes voters respond negatively even to fair attacks. That’s why in multicandidate races, an attack by candidate A on candidate B can hurt A as well as B, and end up helping candidate C or D. That’s why many campaigns hesitate before attacking. And it also gives them a motive to make attacks that can be sustained because they are accurate and fair.

Third, advertising is not always decisive. Other things can matter more. The barrage of negative ads against Gingrich hurt him in Iowa and New Hampshire, but in South Carolina it did not prevent him from winning deciseively. Debate performances trumped attack spots.

Behind the disdain of the highminded for negative campaign spots is a fear that they will erode Americans’ faith in politics and government. These folks like to cite polls showing Americans once had great confidence in institutions and that now they lack it.

But polls have been showing lack of faith in institutions going back to the late 1960s. The only time when pollsters found high levels of confidence was when the questions were first asked in the 1950s. That was during the two decades when American institutions — big government, big business, big labor — enjoyed enormous prestige after they led the nation to victory in World War II and presided over the unexpected growth and prosperity of the postwar era.

I strongly suspect that if you could go farther back in history and ask those same questions, you would find that during much of our history, most Americans were grousing about politicians and complaining about government. Mark Twain and Will Rogers made good livings doing so.

In any case, negative campaigning will persist. Those who enjoy wallowing in negative ads should fly to Florida, find a TV and keep clicking the remote control.

LETTERS Carey House has rules & some are unwilling or unable to comply To the editor, I’m writing in response to both the December 30 article about the homeless gentleman called “Robert” as well as the January 24 letter to the editor

by Nancy Parsons titled, “Where are People at Carey House Supposed to go during the Day?” First, it needs to be mentioned that the Carey House is a ministry of the Salvation Army, and as such seeks to minister to the needs of the poor and needy in our community in the name of Jesus Christ without discrimination. We are honored to be able to serve the Lord as we serve the homeless in the Laconia area.

As the only homeless shelter in Belknap County the Carey House enjoys support from across the Lakes Region including the City of Laconia, the Lakes Region United Way, generous donors to the Salvation Army, the State of New Hampshire, the faith community, and service organizations such as Altrusa, Zonta, and Rotary.

I know the shelter receives such support, in part, because the Carey House offers more than just a bed to people who are homeless. Everyone who comes to the Carey House is treated with dignity and respect while we work to help them get back on their feet with the objective of selfsufficiency. In pursing that objective every individual who comes into the shelter works closely with a counselor who encourages them and helps them identify the goals they need to work toward to help them move out of the shelter into a stable, long-term, and sustainable housing situation. Sometimes these goals are as basic as looking for employment and sometimes the goals are as complex as battling substance abuse.

The Carey House, like other homeless shelters in New Hampshire, has rules in place to insure that residents are safe, enforces policies that support communal living, and develops protocols that advance the goal of living a responsible and productive life. Unfortunately there are some people who are unwilling or unable to comply with the program we have at the shelter. It is impossible to express how difficult it is to ask someone to involuntarily leave the shelter, but this is sometimes

necessary in order to maintain a safe, orderly, and productive environment at the Carey House. Our shelter is not a “flop house.” It is a clean and secure facility and residents are expected to do chores, remain sober, treat each other respectfully and work the program that they develop with their counselor.

As both the “Robert” article and Nancy Parsons observe, the shelter does charge rent. While this surprises some people, this is standard for many homeless shelters, although I must also add one important fact: no one is ever turned away from the Carey House because they cannot pay rent, nor are people asked to leave due to an inability to pay. What we do ask however, is for people to make every attempt to be a responsible adult and make a good faith effort to provide for themselves as best they can.

Sometimes this means applying for emergency assistance that is available to them. Individuals pay $10 per night and families pay $10 per room, regardless of family size. I will also add that 100-percent of the rent paid to the Carey House goes into the operations, maintenance, and upkeep of the Laconia shelter.

Occasionally, if we know that someone will be at the shelter for an extended period of time and they have proven themselves to be reliable and stable, they are able to earn their rent by working the front desk in our office.

On other occasions an individual might be invited to earn their rent by working at the Salvation Army Thrift Store, which also helps them fill gaps in employment and/or obtain a good employment reference.

It was inaccurately reported in the “Robert” article that Carey House residents work at the food pantry if they are unable to pay rent. The Salvation Army food pantry is run by employees of the Salvation Army. Also, the shelter houses 14 men, not 15 as reported on December 30th, and the shelter currently does not have a house manager, the woman quoted in the article was a temporary employee.

Nancy Parsons, the author of the recent letter to the editor, expressed concern for the families staying at the see next page

$10 OFF* Brunch for Two

We’d quickly realize the positive impact pay-as-you-throw has To the editor, A recent article about the city’s recycling program was disappointing. The amount of recycling has not increased over the last three months, despite a contest between the five daily collection routes. This was an alternative to the Pay-As-You-Throw Program which received opposition at a public hearing several months ago.

In talking with my cousin in Concord and my sister in Sudbury, MA., both towns, after initial opposition, initiated Pay-As-You-Throw, quickly realizing the savings and the positive impact on the environment. The citizens are overwhelming in favor of the program and the town reaps the savings.

People wonder why government steps in to accomplish tasks. Here is an example. Time has been given for residents to recycle without success.

The rewards are a financial savings to the city in a time of strained budgets.

Secondarily was the contest to reward the winning route. After a brief flurry the interest waned. The consequence is taxpayer pay more for trash pick up and the environment suffers.

I remember growing up in Laconia with our beautiful natural resources.

We skied in the winter at Belknap (Gunstock) ski area, hiked the mountains and water skied in the summer on the lakes. Who would not want to preserve these natural resources? Recy-

cling is one step in doing this. Returning to Laconia after being away for 40 years, I spent time canoeing on Lake Opechee. The amount of trash along the shore line and on the bottom of the lake was evident. Most were recyclable items, especially plastic materials.

Secondarily to the cost savings to the city is the impact of trash on the environment. It is well know that there are miles of trash dumps in the oceans. Plastic from rivers ends up in the ocean, fish eat this thinking it is food. We eat the fish and toxic plastic so the waste does recycle back to us in a destructive way.

As adults we should not need carrots or sticks to do the right thing. If all of us recycled our trash, there would be no need for rules or laws for this. If we did the right thing and recycled, the town would save money and the environment would be cleaner.

Having retired, I have time to volunteer. With an interest in photography, I have partnered with Elaine Morrison, a local artist to use this media to bring awareness of social issues. We did a recent project with the boys and girls club using recycling as a theme.

The kids at the club quickly got it. They began recycling at the club and discussions took place at home. If these youngsters can understand the concept then we as adults are able to do the same.

Dick Smith Laconia

from preceding page shelter, so please let me address her questions here.

Families with preschool age children are not required to leave the shelter.

Able-bodied, single adults are asked to be out of the shelter between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. so they can work on their program. When Ms. Parsons observes adults and children standing behind the shelter in the rain and cold what she sees are parents choosing to take their children outside so they (the adults) can smoke a cigarette because smoking isn’t permitted inside the shelter. Thanks to Lakes Region Child Care Services, which has generously offered a number of free child care hours at their Laconia facility, families who are staying at the Carey House have access to day-care when they are seeking employment or need to attend medical appointments.

I think the greater question that both the “Robert” article and Parsons letter asks is, how does our community want to deal with individuals for whom living in a homeless shelter is not an option? Homelessness is a com-

plex issue. It’s not as simple as housing someone who is temporarily out of work. Many individuals who come to the Carey House suffer from addiction problems, mental illness, or a combination of both. Often times these individuals are simply unable to remain compliant with a structured program and so they are asked to leave. A person like “Robert” who has nowhere else to go, ends up in the emergency room on a regular basis when the weather is bad, and we know that “Robert” is not the only one.

While I appreciate the laudable efforts of the Laconia Police Department when they rally around someone like a “Robert,” I also know that this is a Band-Aid on a problem that is larger than we want to admit. I wonder about all the other “Roberts” out there who seem to be unable to make rational, logical decisions about their own well-being. I also wonder what more our community can do to protect those who are apparently unable to protect themselves.

LETTERS Does Sandy remember Daniel Pearl? Terrorist cut his head off

GOP-controlled Legislature isn’t just embarrassing, it’s dangerous

To the editor, There he goes again, it’s typical of Leo Sandy to select the “facts” he likes and omit all others. This week’s subject discredits the Iraq war as a wasteful failure. On this I agree, but not for the reasons he gives. As most liberal progressives, he attributes the causes to only one thing, weapons of mass destruction (WMD). In reality, though the lame stream media and most major political figures, Democrat and Republican, touted this primarily, there were several additional causes, not the least of which was Saddam Hussein’s attempt to assassinate a former U.S. president. In itself this was an act of war against this nation.

A cause recognized by international law as such. So based just on this, the war was not against international law as the professor believes.

It’s also funny how the professor faults the media in all of this because aside from Fox News Channel and talk radio nearly all major outlets have, and have had, a liberal leaning for a couple decades now. Sighting things like Abu Ghraib as some kind of proof of the terrible way we treated terrorists we should recognize it was this liberal media that made such a huge fuss about it. Really how bad is putting underpants on the heads of terrorists and making them listen to heavy metal music compared to what terrorists do to their captives.

Remember Daniel Pearl anyone?

Terrorists CUT HIS HEAD OFF on camera and broadcast it all across the world. Daniel was only one of many but Sandy wants not to mention such horrors. Doesn’t fit with his poor them

To the editor, I have spent a couple of days this week attending hearings in the Legislative Office Building in Concord. As I moved from room to room, my shock continued to grow as I listened to discussions of various bills under consideration.

Take for example, the bill to establish a commission to study the effects of compulsory school attendance on children and families. Isn’t educating our youngsters a standard accepted in this state?

And then there is the bill to create a commission to study the “frequency and financial consequences” of erroneous 911 calls. A commission? Seriously?

Things get even more ridiculous with yet another proposed commission which would identify issues related to “strengthening the role of fathers in families with divorced or unmarried parents.” I thought this legislature was all about keeping the government out of people’s lives!

Some bills being heard would have serious negative consequences for many of our state’s residents. One would limit financial assistance to “mothers who have additional chil-

campaigns you know. He also tells readers of the terrible civilian casualties resulting from our invasion as though Saddam Hussein hadn’t been a butcher of grotesque proportions before we ever set foot there. Let’s not also down play the sectarian violence terrorists inflicted on civilians which I see the professor failed to mention.

Was it a good war, intelligently carried out? Well yes and no. Our military conducted one of the most effective attacks in military history, keeping causalities on both sides very low. It was the political followup that was poor and I blame the Bush administration for that. You see, like Sandy, I have perfect 20/20 hindsight. And, like the professor, I too had the foresight to predict that there was a better way to do the thing. We should have divided Iraq into three nations, each representing one of the three ethnic/religious groups, then taken their oil to pay for the war at least up to the time we caught Hussein, (whom we should have shot on the spot) then pulled out and told the Iraqi’s “good luck”.

Am I a terrible person for thinking that? I don’t believe so because, you see, I don’t give a darn about them. I care about us, our people, our soldiers.

As far as I can tell people in that part of the world are locked in an eleventh century mentality, cruel, barbaric, and intent on overthrowing western civilization and subjugating the world to their religious dogma. No thanks. I’d rather be dead. As for the professor, it’s hard to know how he feels about it — he avoids reality like the plague.

Someone needs to investigate what’s going on at CH Fire/Rescue To the editor, An open letter to the Center Harbor Board of Selectmen: Did the fire chief actually seek an injunction and a restraining order against a resident just for criticizing him? How can you possibly support such ludicrous behavior?

I saw in the article that he was supposedly acting as a private citizen but I understand he showed up in court

C

in his full chief’s uniform with inuniform firemen standing beside him.

How can you allow this? This is abuse of power of the worst possible sort. I’ve since read about a grand jury indictment of a Center Harbor fire officer that was even more disturbing.

Someone needs to investigate what is going on in that department.

dren” while they are receiving funds under the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program. So this legislature wants to pry even further into women’s lives?

Another proposal would give immunity to school personnel for using “reasonable” force. No force is reasonable in a school setting. This is simply not within the legislature’s purview. But since there is another bill to completely abolish the Department of Education, maybe these legislators are seizing the opportunity to step in.

This Republican-controlled legislature is worse than an embarrassment: it is a danger to the people it was elected to serve. Paying mileage for these legislators to move this kind of agenda forward is worse than a waste of our state’s precious state funds: it is a repudiation of the concept of representative governing.

I urge all N.H. citizens to pay close attention to what is going on in our Legislature and bring this dangerous activity to an end at the next election.

Where was that $15M for N.H. colleges supposed to come from?

To the editor, I was disappointed to read Paul Phillips’ letter to the editor about Senate Bill 309 (SB-309), legislation that requests $15-million be restored to the universities and colleges. While I understand the intent of SB-309, the monies do not exist to fund this request. If Senator Molly Kelly, who introduced this legislation, seriously wanted to fund education, she would have performed the analyses necessary to determine which programs should be cut or what taxes would be created or raised to fund the $15 million.

I would like to remind Mr. Phillips that Republicans made the difficult choices in an effort to create a realistic, balanced budget. The Republicans were forced to make those choices because of the prior four years where the Democrats in power overspent and over-projected revenue.

Moreover, Mr. Phillips’ labeling of Republicans as mean-spirited and

bullies does nothing for his position.

It seems to me that his language is inflammatory and identifies him as a person who is interested in promoting partisan politics and does not care about promoting bi-partisanship, which would benefit all the residents of New Hampshire.

Our elected officials need to be working together so that our state continues on the right path to success.

No legislation should be introduced on an emotional topic, such as the funding of education, merely to evoke controversy, especially when no viable solutions are offered as to how to fund this proposal.

Senator Jeanie Forrester has been a true advocate for her constituents and she did not vote against education, but rather she took a fiscally responsible position, which is necessary in these economically trying times.

‘Interim’ tag removed from title in front of LRCC president’s name LACONIA —Dr. Scott Kalicki has been named president of Lakes Region Community College.

The members of the Board of Trustees of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) made the announcement on Thursday that they unanimously agreed to remove the interim from Kalicki’s title. He has served as the college’s temporary leader since August 1 of last year.

Kalicki succeeds Dr. Mark Edelstein, who retired at the end of the Spring 2011 term.

“We are delighted that Scott has chosen to make a sustained commitment to Lakes Region Community College following his term as interim president,” said Paul Holloway, chairman of the CCSNH board of trustees. “The Board heard uniformly positive feedback about his leadership, from his colleagues on the faculty and staff, from students, from members of the college advisory committee, and from representatives of the businesses and community organizations the college serves.”

In his six months as interim president of LRCC, Kalicki has led the planning of a new 30,000-squarefoot facility that will house the college’s expanding allied health and technology programs, planned for completion in late 2012. Kalicki has also guided the college through challenging fiscal times and in the face of increasing demand for community college programs and services.

“I am very pleased to accept this appointment after a rewarding and highly engaged tenure as interim president,” said Kalicki. “I have always regarded the work of Lakes Region Community College and the community college system as key to New Hampshire’s economic resilience and quality of life. Since joining LRCC last

summer, I have gained an even deeper appreciation of the role the college plays in the community. LRCC’s mission of access, opportunity, and high-quality education that supports job growth is exactly what the region and the State need to ensure our future well-being. It has been an honor and a real pleasure to work with the faculty and staff here, and to support the aspirations of our Dr. Scott Kalicki students as they improve their lives and communities.”

Looking forward, Kalicki said he will focus on developing programs that align with emerging employment opportunities in the region, continue to promote the programs that are unique to LRCC such as energy services and technology and marine engine technology, and enhance workforce development initiatives in partnership with area employers. LRCC is also part

of a statewide community college initiative aimed at preparing students with skills for the advanced manufacturing industry, supported by a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Kalicki has over 30 years experience in higher education administration. Prior to joining LRCC, he was Vice President for Student Affairs at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), Dean of Students at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (formerly North Adams State College), and Dean of Students at Misericordia University in Dallas, PA. He has been a classroom and online course instructor at the undergraduate and graduate level, and has taught courses in organizational leadership and strategic management. His professional background also includes leadership positions in student services at Widener University (Chester, PA), Rider University (Lawrenceville, NJ) and Simon’s Rock of Bard College (Great Barrington, MA).

Kalicki holds a Doctor of Philosophy in educational administration from the University at Albany (NY), a Master of Arts degree in public administration from the University of Hartford (CT) and a Bachelor of Arts degree in social systems/policy studies from the University of Hartford (CT).

TACOS from page 2 tor, Werner Oyandel, said in a written statement, calling the comment “unprofessional and given in poor taste.”

An immigration rights group, Reform Immigration for America, delivered 400 tacos to his Town Hall office in protest, though Maturo had left shortly

beforehand for a meeting and did not comment. A soup kitchen picked up the tacos, but one was left symbolically for the mayor.

His office fielded a steady flow of calls, some with prank comments about tacos and others from supporters who want him to stay in his job. see next page

and an early February deliberative session after which an official ballot would be developed and which would come before the voters in March.

The district would also have to develop a default budget which would take effect if voters reject the proposed operating budget. The law also allows the school district to call a special second district meeting, for which court approval is not needed, for reconsideration of the budget.

The board also looked at a sample postcard, urging a “no” vote on the SB-2 warrant article, which will be printed and distributed to voters in the district with private funds. It is based on a similar postcard which was distributed during the SB-2 battle four years ago and said that SB-2 ‘’can result in a small group of unelected and unaccountable residents determining the school budget on which all school district voters get to vote.’’

The Town of Belmont already operates under the SB-2 system.

The board also discussed how it will handle presentations at public hearings on its proposed budget which will take place Feb. 7 in Canterbury and Feb. 8 in Belmont and received an update on its search for a new superintendent. By next Tuesday it expects to have a list of those candidates who will be invited for an interview and after those interviews are conducted by the Superintendent Search Committee it is looking towards a March 5 interview with finalists by the full school board.

ROBO from page one His request for an injunction against foreclosure states he submitted all requests for a mortgage restructuring or workout 30 times and yet continues to receive requests for documentation.

Included in the evidence he provided Judge James O’Neill of the Belknap County Superior Court, who granted him a temporary injunction as to the foreclosure sale, a copy of an alleged sales document signed by a “Tywanny Thomas” who along with Linda Green were alleged employees of DocX — a company named by CBS news magazine 60 Minutes as what Brouillard

called a “known robo-signing company” that has since closed.

“Robo-signing” has become accepted slang for the practice many allege is used by mortgage companies whereby employees of subcontracted mortgage workout companies have numerous employees who sign the names of “Tywanny Thomas” and “Linda Green,” among others, to legal documents without reviewing them.

The documents provided by Brouillard regarding the purported transfer of his mortgage are signed by “Thomas.” Also is a signature space see next page

from preceding page Maturo has been mayor off and on since 1997 in this predominantly white, blue-collar town on the shore of Long Island Sound where Latino residents comprise about 10 percent of its population of 29,000. East Haven has been under federal scrutiny since the U.S. Justice Department launched a civil rights probe in 2009 that found discrimination and biased policing against Latinos.

A federal indictment accuses the four police officers of assaulting people while they were handcuffed, unlawfully searching Latino businesses, and harassing and intimidating people, including advocates, witnesses and other officers who tried to investigate or report misconduct or abuse.

The taco flap came after a reporter for New York’s WPIX-TV asked Maturo on Tuesday, “What are you doing for the Latino community today?”

Maturo’s response: “I might have tacos when I go home; I’m not quite sure yet.”

then said he might have spaghetti or any other kind of ethnic food, growing increasingly angry as he told Diaz to “go for it, take your best shot” to make the “taco” comment seem to imply something he did not intend.

He has called himself a “jerk” for the comment, which he called an off-thecuff quip made at the end of a long, stressful day of interviews.

The video of Maturo’s comments has spread across the Internet on social networks and media websites.

It led Connecticut’s largest paper, The Hartford Courant, to call for his resignation in an editorial that declared: “The Mayor is an Idiot.” A Facebook page demanding Maturo’s resignation had more than 750 supporters Thursday afternoon.

The town’s Democratic Party is demanding the resignation of Maturo, a Republican, and he has fielded criticism from state and local officials including Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who said on a conference call Thursday from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that Maturo’s

SHAKER from page one ally in one evening, change to one in which there are two separate meetings, a deliberative session at which warrant articles can be discussed and amended followed several weeks later by a voting session at which voters cast secret ballots over the course of an entire day on the warrant articles.

Public hearings on the proposed change will be held at 6 p.m. on February 7 at the Canterbury Elementary School and at 6 p.m. on February 8 at the Belmont Middle School.

At the polls on March 9, voters will be asked to vote “yes” or “no” on the following article on the ballot: “Shall we adopt the provisions of RSA 40:13 to allow official ballot voting on all issues before the Shaker Regional School District on the second Tuesday of March?”

This article requires a ballot vote with 60-percent majority to pass.

It will mark the second time in four years that SB-2 has come before voters in the Shaker Regional School District. In 2008 it failed to even gain a simple majority, losing 213-261.

The board discussed the petition at last night’s meeting and the wording of an informational summary which will appear in the school district report and on the school district’s web site regarding the changes which adoption of the official ballot law would bring to the district.

Those changes would include an earlier timeline for development of the school district budget and for posting of the budget and warrant articles

Police ask for help in identifying man said to have stolen small kegs of beer from supermarket twice now LACONIA — Twice within the past 10 days an as yet unidentified man has allegedly stolen draught kegs of Heineken beer from Vista Foods at 376 South Main Street.

According to police, the first theft occurred on Tuesday, Jan. 17 between 7:55 p.m. and 8: p.m. and the second on Wednesday this week between 3 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. Employees told the police that the man left the store with two kegs on the first occasion and with three on the second.

Both times employees described a white man dressed in a gray winter jacket with dark accents over a hoodie and wearing jeans, a white baseball cap with an unknown logo and white sneakers.

Police urge anyone who may have witnessed either incident or have any information about them to contact the Laconia Police at 524-5252 or call the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

Minor accident on Court St. snarls traffic because no detours available LACONIA — A minor traffic accident created some major headaches for drivers on Court Street yesterday morning.

Laconia Police Sgt. Gary Hubbard said officers responded to a crash in front of Lakeside Realty at 10:30 a.m. He said a woman headed to Laconia tried to turn left and collided with a woman who was headed west toward Belmont.

Hubbard said neither woman was injured but because both cars needed to be towed, traffic flow stalled along the busy street.

He said there is no real way to re-route traffic easily on that part of Court Street and police created an “island” so traffic could go around the crash.

He said fortunately there are no snow banks so traffic could move slowly around the crash.

PATERNO from page one One by one, Penn State football stars and others credited Paterno with building not just better athletes but better men — and women. He was saluted for his commitment to sportsmanship, loyalty, teamwork, character, academics and “winning with honor.” He was called a good father, a good husband, a good neighbor, a good friend, a good teacher.

Players from each decade of Paterno’s career spoke affectionately about him, saying he rode them hard but always had their best interests at heart

and encouraged them to complete their educations and make something of themselves.

Though the Penn State campus has been torn with anger over the child-sex scandal and Paterno’s dismissal, Jay Paterno said his father didn’t hold a grudge.

“Perhaps his truest moment, his living testimony to all that he stood for, came in the last months of his life. Faced with obstacles and challenges that would have left a lesser man bitter, he showed his truest spirit and his truest self,” Paterno said.

Only one member of the university administration — the dean of the college of liberal arts — and no one from the Board of Trustees spoke at the memorial, which was arranged primarily by the Paterno family.

Among the speakers were Michael Robinson, who played for Paterno from 2002 to 2005, quarterback Todd Blackledge from the 1980s and Jimmy Cefalo, a star in the 1970s. All three went on to play in the NFL. Former NFL player Charles V. Pittman, speaking for players from the 1960s, called Paterno a lifelong influence and inspiration.

Pittman said Paterno pushed his young players hard, once bringing Pittman to tears in his sophomore year. He said he realized later that the coach was not trying to break his spirit but instead was “bit by bit building a habit of excellence.”

“He was building a proud program for the school, the state and the hundreds of young men he watched over for a half-century,” said Pittman, now a media executive on the board of The Associated Press.

from preceding page for “Linda Green” but there is no signature.

Because of this, Brouillard argued Deutsche Bank cannot legitimately prove it owns his mortgage and is in no legal position to take him to foreclosure.

O’Neill granted him a two-week injunction.

Belknap County Register of Deeds Barbara Luther said foreclosure fraud is an issue in Belknap County but is not a prevalent here as it has been in other states.

“We have seen ‘Linda Green’s’ name signed by what appears to be different ‘Linda Greens,’” Luther said.

She said the foreclosure rate remains at an historical high in Belknap County — there were 244 foreclosures in 2011 — and her office has fielded numerous inquiries about mortgage fraud but she said it’s for the courts and not her office to determine who may have been victimized.

South End now has its own recycling station The city opened its fourth remote recycling depot at Lindsay Court, alongside the Memorial Park Club House, yesterday. On hand for the occasion were left to right Mayor Mike Seymour, City Council Brenda Baer (Ward 4), Mark Gelinas, area manager for Bestway Disposal Services, Inc., Ann Saltmarsh and Dave Keets of the Departmen of Public Works, Paul St. Hilaire, vice-president and co-owner of Bestway, and Tyler Smith and Kyle Buffum, Bestway’s collection team in the city. Saltmarsh, who manages the recycling program, said that she expects the site, the first to serve the South End, will further increase recycling. During the six years since 2006 the recyclables taken to the three remote locations — the city garage on Messer Street, Lakeport Fire Station and Weirs Community Center — has risen more than tenfold, from 32.42 tons to 374.04 tons to represent nearly a third of the 1,1219.6 tons recycled last year.

ARIZONA from page one conversation wasn’t disrespectful.

“I respect the office of the president,” she said. “I was there to welcome him.”

She said she was grateful for the visit and intended to talk to him about the state’s accomplishments.

But she said she was “taken aback by his comments” when he said he wasn’t happy with how her book described their White House meeting.

Immediately after the meeting, Brewer had said it was cordial, but her book said Obama lectured Brewer in the Oval Office and that she felt he was condescending toward her.

“It is what it is. I proceeded to say that to him, and he chose to walk away from me,” she said Thursday.

Asked whether she regarded that as disrespectful, she replied: “Well, I would never have walked away from anybody having a conversation. And, of course, that is what it is. It is disrespectful for me.”

Their relationship covers disagreements on “most of his policies,” she said. “That doesn’t mean we can’t be cordial to one another.”

The encounter was notable because it was rare case of an unscripted and tense moment between the president and a public official in view of reporters.

Obama, in an interview with ABC News, said the encounter with Brewer “is a classic example of things getting blown out of proportion.”

“I think it’s always good publicity for a Republican if they’re in an argument with me,” Obama said

in the interview. “But this was really not a big deal.

She wanted to give me a letter, asking for a meeting.

And I said, ‘We’d be happy to meet.’”

White House press secretary Jay Carney chided reporters Thursday, saying the encounter with Brewer was getting too much attention from the press corps. The media coverage was overshadowing Obama’s message of the day on energy.

Carney was questioned about Brewer’s statement Thursday that Obama cut her short by walking away.

“I really assume you guys have more important issues to cover than this,” Carney said.

Brewer is among the Republican governors who oppose the federal health care overhaul, but the illegal immigration issue has been a particular sore point between Obama and Brewer.

The U.S. Justice Department has challenged Arizona’s controversial 2010 immigration enforcement law in court, while the administration and Brewer are at odds over whether the federal government has done enough to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.

On Thursday, Brewer drew support from callers to conservative-oriented talk shows, but the incident left others in the state shaking their heads.

The Arizona Republic, the state’s largest newspaper, editorialized that the image of Brewer wagging a scolding finger at the visiting president “now pretty much defines this state’s relationship with Washington, D.C., to the world.”

Judge throws out verdict that went against speedway CONCORD (AP) — A judge has thrown out a verdict that would have required New Hampshire Motor Speedway to pay nearly $1 million to cancel its contract with Motor Racing Network.

A jury awarded MRN $993,724 last September because New Hampshire did not meet a three-year notice of termination when Speedway Motorsports Inc. bought the track in 2008.

New Hampshire Superior Court Judge Richard McNamara presided over the trial, but threw out the verdict in a Wednesday ruling.

McNamara wrote the jury based its award on MRN’s projected lost profits, and that can’t be a basis for damages.

International Speedway Corp., which owns MRN, said in a statement it will appeal the ruling.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, January 27, 2012— Page 11

GILFORD from page one already voted on the proposed 2012 budget and would have to reconvene if selectmen make any lastminute changes.

As the draft warrant stands this morning, there are two warrant articles for voters to decide regarding the $450,000 purchase of the pumper — to replace Engine 4 or spend $150,000 to refurbish it.

Leandro and LaBonte, who between them have 70 years of large truck experience, challenged the $120,000 to $150,000 fire officials say Valley Fire Apparatus claims it needs to refurbish it.

On Wednesday, the selectmen were given new estimates that put repairs costs more in the $40,000 range.

The $150,000 was discussed at the Budget Committee’s public hearing and Leandro said the selectmen and Budget Committee agreed the number in the draft warrant was a “placeholder” and the warrant article will reflect what Leandro described as a more realist amount to fix the truck.

In statements made at a selectmen’s meeting Jan. 11, Leandro challenged the numbers by saying his own personal inspection of the truck leads him to believe it could be fixed and worthy of service for between $20,000 and $25,000 at the most.

He also agreed with Valley Fire that the cab mounts must be replaced, and quickly, if the truck was to remain in service.

Leandro also wanted selectmen to know that he and LeBonte did not believe any refurbishment or repairs for Engine 4 were a long-term solution, which is also why he doesn’t support the Valley Fire Apparatus quote for a complete refurbishment fo the $120,000 to the $150,000.

“We are only asking that you delay the purchase for four and five years because of the serious economic times,” he said, saying as a non-front line vehicle the town should get at least four or fives years out of it.

Leandro also challenged the internal maintenance of the fire trucks saying the records he found were scarce and that, in his opinion, “there is nothing wrong with Engine 4 that a little grease can’t fix.”

Akerly said yesterday he didn’t want to comment on Leandro’s assessment of Fire Department maintenance but did say the fire engineers will heed his statements about record keeping.

He said he also doesn’t support the total refurbishment, adding “whether it’s a Subaru or a fire truck,” it doesn’t make financial sense to invest 25-percent of the value of a 25-year-old vehicle to try and squeeze a year or two out of it.

He also said even if the voters purchase a new fire truck, it will take one year to have it made a delivered so Engine 4 will have to stay in service until at least December.

“To delay the purchase of a new truck now means we’ll have to go at least two years without a replacement,” he said.

Yesterday The Daily Sun also learned that selectmen may be revisiting their initial endorsement of the purchase of a new fire truck.

Akerly said the fire department was asked by “a selectman” to solicit additional quotes regarding possible repairs to Engine 4 and were unofficially asked if a new fire truck could be purchased for $400,000 not the $450,000.

Sent to selectmen at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, the quote from Lakes Region Fire Apparatus, Inc to repair the pump only was $11,244 conditioned on the fact a “repair of this type will undoubtedly result in finding broken and leaking plumbing components that make up the pumping system... and are not included.” see next page Meredith Zoning Board of Adjustment-Notice of Public Meeting February 9, 2012 -7:00 P.M., Meredith Community Center, Circle Drive, Meredith, NH 03253 BRIAN BUSHMAN: An appeal for a SPECIAL EXCEPTION, Tax Map S23, Lot 53, 31 Foundry Ave, Unit 1, B/I District.

St. Francis Nursing Center unveils renovations aimed at making residents feel more at home

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — St. Francis Rehabilitation & Nursing Center has been around since 1946 and underwent an expansion in 1987. On Wednesday, after about nine months of work and $400,000, facility administrators unveiled a renovation that, they hope, makes the facility feel more like home than ever before.

The center is one of several similar facilities run by New Hampshire Catholic Charities. It features 25 longterm, independent-living apartments in one building and, in another building, 51 nursing home beds which can be used for short-term rehabilitation stays or longterm living for those who need regular assistance.

“We wanted to create a home-like atmosphere,” said Brenda Buttrick, administrator of the facility.

The renovations, she explained, are physical changes that align the building with the contemporary philosophy of “person-centered care” that is now widely adopted among medical care facilities. As Buttrick explained, the renovations sought to make the facility a place that served the desires of its residents, moving away from a model that imposed the facility’s strucure and functions onto the resident’s life.

“They live here, we serve them,” she said.

The renovation was focused on the common areas available to residents. New floorings, paintings and light fixtures were selected to move away from an institutional atmosphere and toward the warm, comfortable tones and textures of a home.

The dining room’s tile floors were replaced with carpeting and the tables and seating would be from preceding page As for repairing the truck itself, a quote from Repair Service of New England gave a range of $12,000 to $20,000 with the caveat that the manufacturer of the truck is not longer in business and RSNE “worked for hours trying to locate parts and get pricing to no avail.”

In addition to the above, a third quote from Belknap Communications came for $5,447 to switch the current lights to LED, something Leandro has said he would support because of the enhanced visibility.

appropriate for a nice restaurant. Those changes will better accompany a revamped menu, offering residents greater choices at meal times.

The facility’s salon is now larger and includes spaces for hairdressing as well as for manicures.

“This is very important to residents, looking nice,” said Buttrick.

Prior to the renovation, Buttrick said nursing staff had already been assigned to stay within certain sections of the building, so that residents would be cared for by familiar faces. Buttrick said this management strategy was pursued in the name of building trust between residents and caregivers.

To further that goal, the renovation created several “living rooms” throughout the facility and collections of residents’ family photographs hang on corridor walls.

The idea, she said, is to foster the feeling of “neighborhoods” of residents and staff. “Forming relationships is very important to what we do,” she said.

With rehabilitation a significant part of the operation, a new gym was included in the renovation.

Mike Lehrman, vice president of health care services for New Hampshire Catholic Charities, said about a hundred people per annum will visit the St. Francis facility for rehabilitative services.

Lehrman noted that the “person-centered” care model has proven to be as popular among staff as it is among the residents. Although trained professionals can sometimes be resistant to change, he said the new model of care strikes at the reason why nursing professionals were drawn to their career.

“Once they’re introduced to it, they flock to it,” he said. “They see how it benefits the residents.”

A third estimate from Winnipesaukee Truck Service declined to provide any dollar amounts but instead listed the deficiencies including failures of the air horn, defroster, low air warning, front brakes, cab mounts and excessive coolant and oil leaks.

Other problems included “fatigued” front springs.

As to the selectmen’s recent inquiries, Akerly said he was curious as to why the board would be seeking new information when it had already endorsed the purchase of a new fire engine.

Selectmen meet tonight at 6:30 p.m. in Town Hall.

right to bear arms, and that should extend to its universities.

“Maybe we’re not necessarily changing the rules, although changing the perceptions,” Hoell said, “and they (the University System of New Hampshire) are actually accountable to the statutes as they exist.”

Critics raised concerns about safety on college campuses where alcohol, drug use and impulsive behavior are common. Adding guns to the mix, they said, would be “unwise.”

Proponents argue restricting guns on public property violates citizens’ rights to defend themselves.

Law enforcement officials stressed the guns would

harm more than help. They would be unlikely to deter sexual assaults, which usually occur between acquaintances, said University of New Hampshire Police Chief Paul Dean, and they would create more confusion in the rare school shooting like Virginia Tech.

“I am deeply worried about adding armed civilians to where my officers face life or death decisions on a college campus,” Dean said.

University system Chancellor Edward Mackay told the committee the biggest danger was a higher suicide rate. More than 25,000 students attempt suicide each year, Mackay said, and in cases involving firearms, 90 percent are successful. see next page

Rite Aid looking to build new drug store in Meredith Brothers & Horne are first

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — While the Planning Board this week welcomed the architecture and landscaping of the Rite Aid Pharmacy proposed to be built on N.H. Route 25, the impact of the project on traffic along the heavily traveled road remain under review by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT).

MHF Design Consultants, Inc. of Salem, on behalf of Newland Development Associates, LLC, presented the project to the board for a design review in December. The board walked the site earlier this month prior to a second design review on Tuesday.

A site plan has not as yet been submitted for review and approval.

Rite Aid operates from space next door to Hannaford supermarket at Meredith Bay Shops on the same roadway. In anticipation of the expansion of the supermarket into the space, Rite Aid plans to relocate to a 2.77-acre lot about a quarter of a mile away, just east of the junction with Meredith Bay Drive, between the Meredith Irving and Trinity Episcopal Church.

The site lies on a slope near the foot of Meredith Hill. To house the 15,000-square-foot building the site would be graded and building envelope framed by retaining walls, one off the southeast corner of the building and another on its western flank. Initially Frank Montero of MHF Design suggested from preceding page Others focused on the potential change in the campus atmosphere.

Plymouth State University has been at the center of the debate since two pro-gun supporters said they appear with unconcealed loaded rifles on campus in December to protest the university’s gun policy. The university obtained a temporary order barring them from appearing with the guns.

Plymouth State President Sara Jayne Steen said she received hundreds of responses to the protest, most of them opposed to allowing guns on campus.

Some parents told Steen they would transfer their

the retaining walls be topped with chain link fence, but at the insistence of the Planning Board altered the design to incorporate a wrought iron fence. The board preferred the walls be constructed of smaller stones lending them a cobblestone effect. Both walls would be screened by appropriate plantings, including mature arborvitae.

Constructed in a colonial style, with pitched roofs, dormers and faux clapboards, the building would site on a apron with 73 parking spaces ringing three sides. In response to a request from the board, Montero agreed to replace a handful parking spaces at the corners of the building with planters. He also agreed to add false dormers to the facade above the drive-up window.

As designed, the entrance to property would be at its northeast corner. Several members of the board questioned the location, suggesting that Rite Aid share the driveway with Meredith Irving to the west. Montero said that although a shared entrance would be preferable, Irving has not responded to overtures and Rite Aid has no easement across the neighboring lot. He said that the DOT also favored a shared driveway, but failing that recommended that the entrance to Rite Aid be located as far from the driveway to Irving as possible.

Montero told the board he intended to return to the board in February, anticipating that the DOT would have completed its review of the traffic issues by then. students out of the New Hampshire university system if the bill passed.

Rep. Elaine Swinford, R-Center Barnstead, who chaired the House committee that first heard the bill, argued that most USNH students were raised in New Hampshire and had been around firearms their whole life.

“Once they’re 18 they have their own concealed carry permit,” Swinford said.

Manchester Police Chief David Mara said he worried the bill would also allow guns and knives in the 20,000 seat Verizon Center in Manchester. An incident at a large event would cause a lot of harm, he said.

MEREDITH — Peter Brothers filed for his third term and Carla Horne for her first term of the Board of Selectmen when the filing period opened on Wednesday. Two of the five seats, one now held

by Brothers and the other by Rep. Colette Worsman, will be on the ballot in March.

A lifelong resident of Meredith, Horne ran for the New Hampshire House of Representatives unsuccessfully as a Democrat in 2010. She has worked for nearly three decades in the construction industry and owns and operates Grand View Home Inspections, LLC. No stranger to government, she contributed to the statute for the licensing of home inspectors land chairs the Legislative Committee of the Lakes Region Board of Realtors.

“I am truly excited by the prospect of serving the town of Meredith,” Horne said.

Before joining the Board of Selectmen, Brothers, a 34-year veteran of Meredith Village Savings Bank where he is vice-president of construction loans, served three terms on the Inter-Lakes School Board and eight years on the Planning Board, seven of them as chair of the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) committee. “We still have lots to do,” he said of his decision to seek re-election.

The filing period closes on Friday, Feb. 4. Voting, as always will be on the second Tuesday of March, the 13th.

She later worked from 1963 until her retirement as a nursing supervisor at the Youville Hospital in Cambridge, MA. Known as “Ma Malone”to everyone, Dottie was a warm and caring person.

She loved to travel, whether across town or half way around the world, her favorite destinations being Hawaii and the Mexican Yucatan. She created works of art with her knitting and crocheting, donating warm mittens and blankets to many area hospitals and charities.

She enjoyed the challenge of a crossword but mostly enjoyed beating everybody she played at cribbage, and this she did with a shy but devious smile.

She spent her later retirement years in Johnson, Vermont. She received loving care through her final illness living in Laconia, New Hampshire, with her daughter Ellie and granddaughter Allie.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be locked in on your target like an animal on the hunt. There’s something you need to understand, and you’ll learn it from your experiences chasing this goal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You have not yet reached the limit of your capacity for joy. You won’t willfully be able to go there, but you can quietly suggest this to yourself and give yourself permission to investigate the boundaries.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You may visit the land of dissatisfaction with your life -- but you’ll stay only for a short time. Move immediately to the feeling that will help you be positive and craft a stellar plan of improvement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll embark on an adventure. It starts off in familiar waters, and quickly you’re out to the unknown and unpredictable sea.

You’ll navigate both with equal skill.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Lately there have been a few mismatches in your world. You would love to know about the people who would love to know you. Your social luck is about to turn around.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 27). Your feelings of safety, security and certainty won’t come from the outside world.

Your experiences help you continue to grow a powerful core inside of you. The goals you set next month will bring you into new circles. You’ll give a presentation in March that attracts investors.

Love drives the action in April. Pisces and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 10, 43, 24 and 19.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your communication skills will be highlighted. You’ll make your story interesting -- so interesting that others may ask for follow-up guidance as to how they might have a similar experience.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t live to serve, but you may have to serve to live. Making others happy is just part of your deal now. The better you do this the more personal satisfaction you’ll derive from your interactions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Recreation is not just for fun now. Your competitive instincts will kick in. You’ll be sure to address the issue of rank.

Everyone will know the score.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may resist change even though you know it’s inevitable and possibly even beneficial. You don’t want to let go.

That is only natural and a way of honoring this special time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will ask for assistance, but you won’t depend on it. Anything you get will be a bonus.

Your reliance on yourself is unshakable.

The more you can do on your own the more confident you’ll be.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your focus on joint finances, children and friends will yield an interesting and unexpected outcome. You’ll realize how well you know your people and how much there still is to learn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). How would you like to be honored in this lifetime? You’ll soon get a taste of it.

Start now by focusing your energy and aiming it on what you would like to accomplish in the long term.

Yesterday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, January 27, 2012— Page 17

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Jan. 27, the 27th day of 2012. There are 339 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: Two hundred and fifty years ago, on Jan. 27, 1756, composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria.

On this date: In 1880, Thomas Edison received a patent for his electric incandescent lamp.

In 1901, opera composer Giuseppe Verdi died in Milan, Italy, at age 87.

In 1943, some 50 bombers struck Wilhelmshaven in the first all-American air raid against Germany during World War II. In 1944, the Soviet Union announced the end of the deadly German siege of Leningrad, which had lasted for more than two years.

In 1945, Soviet troops liberated the Nazi concentration camps Auschwitz and Birkenau in Poland.

In 1951, an era of atomic testing in the Nevada desert began as an Air Force plane dropped a one-kiloton bomb on Frenchman Flats.

In 1967, astronauts Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, Edward H. White and Roger B. Chaffee died in a flash fire during a test aboard their Apollo 1 spacecraft at Cape Kennedy, Fla. In 1967, more than 60 nations signed a treaty banning the orbiting of nuclear weapons.

In 1973, the Vietnam peace accords were signed in Paris.

In 1981, President Reagan greeted the 52 former American hostages released by Iran.

In 1996, A man invaded a convent in Waterville, Maine, stabbing and beating four nuns, killing two of them (Mark Bechard was later found not criminally responsible because of mental illness). Soldiers seized control of Niger’s government.

In 2001, Two Darmouth College professors, Half and Susanne Zantop, were murdered at their Hanover, N.H., home by two teens.

(Robert Tulloch later pleaded guilty to murder and conspiracy and is serving a sentence of life without parole; James Parker pleaded guilty to being an accomplice to second-degree murder and is serving a sentence of 25 years to life.)

Ten people were killed when a plane bringing people home from Oklahoma State University’s basketball game against Colorado crashed in a field outside Denver.

Rhythm-and-blues singer Nedra Talley (The Ronettes) is 60. Ballet star Mikhail Baryshnikov is 58. Country singer Cheryl White is 51. Country singer-musician Richard Young (The Kentucky Headhunters) is 51. Actress Mimi Rogers is 50. Rock musician Janick Gers (Iron Maiden) is 49. Rock singer Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) is 45. Rock musician Gillian Gilbert is 45. Actress Bridget Fonda is 42. Actor Alan Cumming is 41. Country singer Tracy Lawrence is 38. Rock singer Mike Patton is 38. Rapper Tricky is 38.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, January 27, 2012— Page 19

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I never thought I’d be writing, but here I am. I was a single mother and struggled to raise my children without help. They are all good kids.

One daughter, “Susan,” lives 2,000 miles away from the rest of the family. She left home early, went to the big city and educated herself. She is the only member of the family to have a degree, and we are very proud of her. Susan has worked hard to distance herself from her blue-collar roots.

She has high expectations of the rest of her family in terms of our behavior and attitudes, and we invariably disappoint her.

Recently, Susan cut off all contact because the stress of dealing with us is “making her ill.”

Next spring, Susan will be marrying into a wealthy family.

She has made it clear that we are not to behave in any manner that embarrasses her and informed me that she will have friends “keeping an eye on us” throughout the event. It hurts all of us that we are not up to par for the social circles she is now a part of.

If I go to the wedding, I cannot genuinely be myself. I was looking forward to meeting her new in-laws. (I haven’t met them in the five years she’s been with her fiance.) I want to share in Susan’s joy, but I feel I’ll be an actor in her play. She doesn’t truly want me there. She only wants me to fill a role.

Do I bow out of the celebration and regret it for the rest of my life? Or do I attend and participate in this charade? -Heartbroken Mother of the Bride Dear Mother: You’ve answered your own question. If you don’t attend, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. So go.

Most weddings require a certain amount of play-acting and being on one’s very best behavior. Surely you can manage it for a few hours on Susan’s wedding day. Yes, she seems more than a little snobby, but if you don’t focus on how much you dislike your role at the wedding, you might even enjoy your-

self. Please try.

Dear Annie: I am a bartender and waitress at a small local restaurant. We recently worked a big party that included drinks and a three-course meal. When it came time to pay, the customer left us a fairly large tip.

When my boss found out how much money they left, he decided to take a portion of it. He said he deserved it because he provided the atmosphere and decorations and also helped cook the meal.

I was under the assumption that a tip goes to the server.

Wouldn’t the customer be insulted to know that the owner is not only getting the profits from the restaurant, but also taking the tips? Am I being greedy, or does this seem wrong to you? -- Michigan Dear Michigan: In most instances, owners are not legally entitled to take the tips given directly to their servers, even if the owners are helping out in the kitchen or at the bar. If your boss makes a habit of this, you can report him to your local labor board.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Jane in Ohio,” who is angry because her husband only takes her dancing once a week.

Many of my friends and I are widows. We go dancing four or five times a week, but we do country line dancing. This means we no longer need a partner and can be on the floor all night without having to wait to be asked to dance. It is good fun and great exercise, and there are lessons at almost every senior center. Jane might enjoy doing that on the nights when her husband wants to stay home. -- Marci in Ohio Dear Marci: Several readers recommended line dancing since it doesn’t require a partner. We hope Jane will look into it.

CONCORD — Stock up those bird feeders and dig out your binoculars for New Hampshire Audubon’s Backyard Winter Bird Survey. This annual statewide survey will take place on Saturday, February 11, and Sunday, February 12. Biologists need assistance from citizens all over the Granite State to get a clear picture of what’s really happening with winter birds.

Anyone can participate in the Backyard Winter Bird Survey by counting the birds in their own backyard on the survey weekend and sending the results on a special reporting form to NH Audubon. To receive a copy of the reporting form and complete instructions on how to participate, send a self-addressed, stamped, long envelope to:

Forms are also available at NH Audubon centers in Auburn, Concord and Manchester, or can be found on the NH Audubon web site, along with more information about the survey at www.nhaudubon.org under the Birding page.

Data from the Backyard Winter Bird Survey is used to track changes in the distribution and abundance of many species. Each year about 1,300 observers across the state count the birds coming to their feeders. “The strength of the survey is that we can look at trends over the long term,” says Survey Coordinator, Rebecca Suomala. “We now have more than 20 years of data and we can see the patterns of ups and downs in different bird species.”

Last year, 77 species were recorded

overall, tying the previous high from 2001. The survey showed large numbers of Common Redpolls and Pine Siskins that periodically come south in big numbers typically every other year. “We’re not expecting those two species in 2012 but we are due for a good year for American Goldfinch, which last peaked in 2009,” according to Dr. Pam Hunt, Senior Biologist at NH Audubon. Hunt’s analysis shows that southern species such as Redbellied Woodpeckers and Carolina Wrens continue to increase on the survey. Eastern Bluebirds set a new record high and show no signs of slowing down. Two other species showing long term increases, Wild Turkey and Pileated Woodpecker, also set record highs in 2011. The Barred Owl total was the third highest ever, and likely the result of deep snows which made hunting difficult last winter.

Reports of a lack of birds are just as valuable as reports of many birds.

“If everyone reported only when they have a lot of birds, we wouldn’t be able to see the declines,” says Suomala. The most important thing is to participate each year regardless of how many or how few birds you have. This provides a consistent long-term set of data that shows both the ups and downs.

All New Hampshire residents are encouraged to take part. Results from past years are on the NH Audubon web site. For more information about the Backyard Winter Bird Survey, call NH Audubon at 224-9909 or go to the web site at www.nhaudubon.org and click on Birding.

There are two bird surveys in February. NH Audubon’s Backyard Winter Bird Survey that takes place in New Hampshire only, and the Great Backyard Bird Count, a nation-wide webbased survey on February 17-20, 2012; www.birdcount.org.
