Bill to scuttle State School sale has steep hill to climb By michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — A bill aimed at resetting the clock on the sale of the former Laconia State School property faces an uncertain future following a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee yesterday, when

Laconia City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) expressed reservations about the proposed legislation.

Senate Bill 19, sponsored by Senator Jim Rausch (R-Derry), would repeal the rider attached to the 2012-2013 state budget prescribing a process for selling

the property and, by implication, apply the normal procedure set forth by statute to the disposition of the site.

That process begins with a review by the Council on Resources and Development (CORD), consisting of representatives of state agencies, which

advises the Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee, a panel dominated by legislators but including officials of the executive branch.

On finding the property is “no longer needed by the state,” the committee presents a recomsee sTaTe sCHOOL page 9

GILFORD — John “Jack” Lyman has thrown his hat into the race for the Board of Fire Engineers, almost guaranteeing that as of March they’ll be at least one “truck guy” overseeing the fire department.

Lyman, who signed up yesterday, is running against Philip “Pat” LaBonte, who has previously served as a Fire Engineer.

As of Monday, incumbent Phil Brouillard said he wasn’t sure if he was going to run for a seventh term.

In an brief telephone interview yesterday, Lyman said he doesn’t know a lot about firefighting but he knows about management and heavy equipment. He said he was encouraged to run by Board of Fire Engineers Chair Bill Akerley.

“I am going to try and approach this thing objectively and see if I can lend a hand to the process,” Lyman said yesterday.

Like LaBonte, Lyman has a long history in the trucking industry and, at see LyMan page 11

Senate quickly confirms John Kerry as Sec. of State WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed President Barack Obama’s choice of fiveterm Sen. John Kerry to be secretary of state, with Republicans and Democrats praising him as the ideal successor to Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The vote Tuesday was 94-3. One senator — Kerry — voted present and accepted congratulations from colleagues on the Senate floor.

The roll call came just hours after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously approved the man who has led the panel for the past four years.

No date has been set for Kerry’s swearing-in, but in a letter to Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, Kerry says his resignation is effective at 4 p.m. Friday. The State Departments plans a welcoming ceremony for Kerry on Monday.

Obama tapped Kerry, 69, the son of a diplomat, decorated Vietnam veteran and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, to succeed Clinton, who is stepping down after see KERRY page 11

Calif. woman stabbed to death in Littleton hotel lobby CONCORD (AP) — A 70-year-old California woman who was a trustee at a private school and a retired business counselor with the U.S. Commerce Department was stabbed to death in a random attack in a New Hampshire hotel lobby by another guest, authorities said Tuesday.

Catherine “Kitty” Houghton, of Novato, Calif., had traveled to New Hampshire for board meetings at the White Mountain School, her alma mater, in Bethlehem.

She was staying at the Hampton Inn in nearby Littleton and was in the lobby Monday evening when, prosecutors say, a 37-year-old man stabbed her in the neck and torso. Houghton died soon afterward at a hospital.

Littleton is a community of 4,000 just west of the White Mountains National Forest in northwest New Hampshire, near the Vermont border. Its last killing was in 1999.

Although a Vermont man was in custody, the lead prosecutor said she’s at a loss to explain a motive.

“At this point in time there was no connection between the two, and it was random,” said Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell.

She would not comment on whether an altercation preceded the attack.

Rodney Hill, of West Danville, Vt., was arraigned Tuesday on second-degree murder charges and was being held with-

out bond. He is due in court Feb. 5. Morrell said he was a registered guest at the hotel.

Houghton held master’s and doctorate degrees from Stanford University, had served in the Peace Corps in Nepal and worked as an international officer for Bank of America before joining the global business arm of the commerce department — often working under the auspices of the U.S. Foreign Service at embassies worldwide, according to a tribute posted on the White Mountain School’s website.

The tribute adds that she had a pilot’s license and volunteered for Angelflight, which provides transportation to indigent people in medical need. She was also fluent see NH MURDER page 11

SANTA MARIA, Brazil (AP) — Pennypinching by a band known for its onstage pyrotechnic displays may have cost more than 230 people their lives at a nightclub in southern Brazil, according to a police inspector leading the investigation into this weekend’s deadly blaze.

Inspector Marcelo Arigony told reporters at a news conference Tuesday that members of the band knowingly purchased flares meant for outdoor use because they cost a mere $1.25 a piece, compared with the $35 price tag for an indoor flare.

“The flare lit was for outdoor use only, and the people who lit them know that,” said Arigony, adding that members of the group acknowledged regularly opting for

the less expensive flares. “They chose to buy those because they were cheaper than those that can be used indoors.”

Arigony, whose cousin died in the fire, added: “The pyrotechnics were part of their show — the guys even wore gloves onstage so they wouldn’t burn their hands.”

The repercussions of the band’s choice to use flares continued to send shock waves through Santa Maria, a college town of 260,000 people that’s been stunned by the early Sunday morning tragedy in the Kiss nightclub.

The Rio Grande do Sul state forensics department raised the death toll Tuesday from 231 to 234 to account for three victims who did not appear on the original

list of the dead. Authorities say more than 120 people remain hospitalized for smoke inhalation and burns, with dozens of them in critical condition.

The blaze began at around 2:30 am local time, during a performance by Gurizada Fandangueira, a country music band that had made the use of pyrotechnics a trademark of their shows. The band’s guitarist told media that the 615 square-meter (6,650-square-foot) club was packed with an estimated 1,200 to 1,300 people. The police have said the capacity for a club of that size is under 700 people.

Police said the club’s ceiling was covered with insulating foam made from a combussee BRAZIL FIRE page 11

Biz tax credits for scholarships law under attack A-Rod implicated in PED use again as MLB probes

CONCORD (AP) — A fledgling New Hampshire program that gives businesses a tax credit for donating to scholarship organizations that send students to private or public schools is under assault on two fronts.

Three civil liberties groups sued this month to block the program as unconstitutional because students could attend religious schools, and now legislators are considering repealing it.

And the House Ways and Means Committee is holding a hearing Thursday on the bill to repeal the tax credit law, passed last summer by Republicans over a Democratic governor’s veto. Under the law, the first scholarships cannot be used until the 20132014 school year.

The total amount of tax credits that could be issued the first year is $3.4 million and $5.1 million the second year.

The law provides for increases in tax credits in subsequent years. The business donations would go to organizations created to provide scholarships of up to $2,500 to eligible students. The scholarship amount would be adjusted for inflation.

Students attending private schools, public schools

outside the student’s home district and students schooled at home would qualify for scholarships.

Income limits are set on who qualifies to receive a scholarship.

Districts losing state aid above a certain threshold would receive additional money to partially offset the loss of funding when students leave their schools.

So far, only about $120,000 has been pledged toward scholarships for next school year, according to the Department of Revenue.

To date, the Network for Educational Opportunity is the only organization approved to award scholarships, and Executive Director Kate Baker said Tuesday she already has 260 applicants. Baker said she has commitments from companies to contribute $500,000 to the program. Her goal is to raise $1 million and to have 1,000 applicants by June.

“People are looking for options for their families,” she said.

She said 60 percent of the applications she has received are from poorer families whose children qualify for subsidized meals at school. The scholarsee BIZ TAX CREDITS page 7

N.H. flu death total increases to 35, including 1 child

CONCORD (AP) — State health officials say the number of flu-related deaths in New Hampshire has increased to 35 — and the first child death among them.

The department says the total is highest number of flu-related deaths in a single season the state has

recorded since 1997.

The department says the child who died was under 5 years old. No further information was available on the death.

The state saw a total of 19 deaths reported in 2012.

NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez was ensnared in a doping investigation once again Tuesday when an alternative weekly newspaper reported baseball’s highest-paid star was among a half-dozen players listed in records of a Florida clinic the paper said sold performance-enhancing drugs.

The Miami New Times said the three-time AL MVP bought human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing substances during 2009-12 from Biogenesis of America LLC, a now-closed antiaging clinic in Coral Cables, Fla., near Rodriguez’s offseason home.

The new public relations firm for the New York Yankees third baseman issued a statement denying the allegations.

The newspaper said it obtained records detailing purchases by Rodriguez, 2012 All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera, 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon and 2011 AL championship series MVP Nelson Cruz of Texas.

Cabrera left San Francisco after the season to sign with Toronto, while Oakland re-signed Colon.

Other baseball players the newspaper said appeared in the records include Washington pitcher Gio Gonzalez, who finished third in last year’s NL Cy Young Award voting, and San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal.

Biogenesis, which the New Times said was run by Anthony Bosch, was located in a beige, nondescript office park. The former clinic is no longer listed as a see A-ROD page 8

Pat Buchanan

American role in a darkening age When, in the 1950s, Nikita Khrushchev said, “We will bury you,” and, “Your children will live under communism,” Eisenhower’s America scoffed.

By 1980, however, the tide did indeed seem to be with the East.

America had suffered a decade of defeats. Southeast Asia had fallen.

The ayatollah had seized power in Iran. Moscow had occupied Afghanistan. Cuban troops were in Ethiopia and Angola. Grenada and Nicaragua had fallen to the Soviet bloc. Eurocommunism was all the rage on the continent.

Just a decade later, the world turned upside-down. The Berlin Wall fell. Eastern Europe was suddenly free. The Soviet Union disintegrated. China abandoned Maoism for state capitalism.

Now, 20 years on, the wheel has turned again — toward darkness.

No longer do we hear chatter about “The End of History” and triumph of democratic capitalism, of America imposing her “global hegemony” or leading mankind into “a second American century.” The hubris is gone, and triumphalism has given way to anxiety, apprehension, alarm.

In an essay, “The Return of Toxic Nationalism,” Robert Kaplan, a geopolitical analyst for Stratfor, writes that Western elites are even yet failing to see the larger, darker picture of our evolving world. These elites identify with the like-minded in other lands and “prefer not to see the regressive and exclusivist forces ... that are mightily reshaping the future.”

Egypt and the Mideast offer “a panorama of sectarianism and religious and ethnic divides. Freedom, at least in its initial stages, unleashes not only individual identity but, more crucially, the freedom to identify with a blood-based solidarity group.

Beyond that group, feelings of love and humanity do not apply.”

This is “a signal lesson of the Arab Spring,” and out of it will likely come an “Islamist-Nasserite regime” in Cairo.

“Asia is in the midst of a feverish arms race,” writes Kaplan. Nationalism there is “young and vibrant — as it was in the West in the 19th and 20th centuries.” Having consolidated the homeland, China is moving to annex her adjacent seas, and a formerly pacifist Japan is “rediscovering nationalism as a default option.”

Nationalism is “alive and thriving in India and Russia,” with New Delhi building armed forces that will be among the world’s largest.

“Race hatred against Muslims is high among Russians, and just as there are large rallies by civil-society types, there are also marches and protests by skinheads and neoNazis, who are less well-covered by

Western media.”

A weakening European Union has spawned a “resurgence of nationalism and extremism in Hungary, Finland, Ukraine and Greece.”

“We are truly in a battle between two epic forces,” says Kaplan, “those of integration based on civil society and human rights, and those of exclusion based on race, blood and radicalized religion.”

How should the United States deal with this darkening age?

“Because values like minority rights are under attack the world over, the United States must put them right alongside its own exclusivist national interests, such as preserving a favorable balance of power.

Without universal values in our foreign policy, we have no identity as a nation — and that is the only way we can lead with moral legitimacy in an increasingly disordered world.”

But is this not itself utopian?

A great religious awakening is taking place from Morocco to Mindanao. If these hundreds of millions believe there is no God but Allah and he has shown the way to eternal life, why would they, why should they, tolerate pastors and preachers from heretical and false faiths?

How do we preach women’s equality — an easy access to divorce contraception and abortion — to people who swear by a sacred book that says you kill people like that? How do we preach the blessings of racial and ethnic diversity to a world where, as Kaplan writes, ethnonationalism and tribalism are being embraced and people are willing to die to create nations where their own kind and their own culture are dominant if not exclusive?

Before we put our “values” up there with our vital interests, as the object of our foreign policy, what exactly are we talking about? Do Americans in the grip of a social-moral-cultural war even agree among themselves on “values”? Our First Amendment protects freedom of speech to call the Prophet vile names. Our freedom of the press protects pornography. Our freedom of religion means all religions are to be equally excluded from public schools.

Other nations believe in indoctrinating their children in their own beliefs and values. Where do we get the right to push ours in their societies?

When did the internal affairs of foreign nations become the portfolio of American diplomats? Did James Madison’s first minister to Russia, John Quincy Adams, demand that Czar Alexander free the serfs?

“Without universal values in our foreign policy, we have no identity as a nation,” says Kaplan.

But that is not our history. America has indeed been about ideas, but America is now and has always been about more, much more than abstract ideas.

LETTERS There has been a lack of candor coming from 34 County Drive To the editor, Thank you for publishing the Jan. 29 letter from the county commissioners. As a “freshman lawmaker”, it may be that I missed a nuance of county governance which seems to be one of the points made by the gentlemen. Let me respond to the assertions which they make by stating the following facts: 1. The way to achieve co-operation is through transparency. Making incorrect accusations such as alleging a violation of State law 91-A could be construed as an attempt at intimidation.

2. The commissioners now concede that the county convention has the authority to act as they did on Jan. 21 but argue the delegates were unwise and unknowledgeable in so doing. It is a fact that until now they have denied that the convention had this power and threatened legal action against the convention for taking the action which it did.

3. In no way has it been demonstrated that the actions of the convention were motivated by anything other than fiscal prudence. Far from wishing to balance the budget on the backs of county employees, I stated in public session that I wish it were possible to give raises to the full-time employees who are hard working and not as well compensated as the top two-thirds, The convention would like to see county employees who have good wages and generous benefits

packages kept commensurate with the private sector which does not enjoy the same degree of compensation and benefits. Their taxes underwrite the compensation for county employees.

4. The surplus fund is large and growing.

5. Past budgets have consistently understated revenue and overstated expenditures.

The three legged stool which represents county governance can be summarized thusly: 1. centralized authority — something which the Jan. 21 action by the convention compromised; 2. a large and growing command structure which can be seen by comparing year to year budgets; 3. plans for a new and very expensive prison.

Contrary to the assertion of the commissioners, there has been no public input or cost justification for this prison project. Their committee of “stakeholders”, which did the planning, did not include the public or any of the delegation.

The common thread is that there has been a lack of candor at 34 County Drive. The response of the delegation to the county commissioners stems from consideration of good public policy.

Most of us value the contributions of the hard working people in county employment.

Rep. Richard B. Burchell Belknap Distriict 5 Gilmanton

Will N.Y. & N.J. remember Ayotte’s vote come vacation time?

To the editor, Help for New York and Jersey — yes, there is, but no thanks to Kelly Ayotte who voted against helping our neighbors down south. She has no problem giving money for maintenance for a old military cemetery in the Philippines. A nice gesture but the people in N.Y. & N.J. are living and really needed the help. She might not realize it but every now and then we get hit with major storms and need help. Canada has always sent us help — usually electrical people who work for Hydro Quebec, that’s the Northern Pass Company. Every time we need

electrical help, they are there.

Other companies have sent us help too. Even the government gives us money when we REALLY need it. But the next time we need financial help I doubt if we will get much sympathy because of the callousness of Ayotte. I wonder if they will remember the next time they plan for vacations. Did you think of that Kelly? I will remember when election time rolls around next year and will vote Democratic or for a different GOP’er. Bye Kelly.

LETTERS I cannot support PAYT without first trying non-fee alternatives To the editor, Some thoughts on mandatory recycling are in order.

The simple fact is that the city is paying nearly two million dollars a year for solid waste collecting, and transporting to Penacook and tipping fees. At a time when revenues are shrinking and costs are going up along with downshifting of costs from the state to the cities and towns, the City of Laconia is looking for the best way to cut expenditures in this upcoming budget and future budgets as well. It is not an easy task and cannot be rushed.

The City Council and city manager have been looking for solutions for the past two years and have tried various ways to encourage the public to get involved with voluntary recycling which means there will be less trash to dispose of and that will reduce the bottom line significantly. However, after all the publicity and efforts of the city, we haven’t reached a satisfactory percentage in recycling. We seem stuck at around 14 or 15 percent, when most cities with mandatory recycling are anywhere between 30 and 50 percent. If the city reached the norm of 30 percent, the cost of trash pickup would be reduced by $45,000, the cost of hauling to Penacook would go down by $30,000 and the cost of incinerating trash would go down by $130,000.

At present, we have a few proposals we are considering. The one that seems most fair to the people, in my view, is

mandatory recycling by placing recyclables in totes out with their rubbish. The collectors will go out and pick up only the rubbish that has recycling out as well. The details and questions of this system will be discussed with the disposal company at the council meeting on February 11, 2013.

Also being discussed will be a proposal for mandatory recycling with a Pay-As-You-Throw system. This system will save the same amount as the above plan, but will mean that everyone will have to purchase special bags from the city. I cannot support taking more money from the people without first trying to meet our goals without adding another fee to the people. If the former plan doesn’t meet our goal, we can always go to PAYT because the public didn’t do their part.

At the same time, the private haulers’ rates will go up in July from $60 a ton to $90 dollars a ton, which represents more closely the actual cost of handling their waste.

The important thing to consider is that the council and city manager and especially Public Works and Ann Saltmarsh have spent two years finding a solution to solving the huge expense of trash removal. The meeting on February 11th with our collection company will define these options and discuss any other options that might reduce some of our costs.

Councilor Brenda Baer Ward 4 Laconia

Why keep ignoring the obvious solution? Pay-As-You-Throw To the editor, Why is the City of Laconia Council prolonging the inevitable and wasting my tax dollars? At the City Council meeting held on January 28, the Public Works Committee reported that they had discussed recycling options for the city to reduce the cost of disposal and increase the recycling tonnage that needs to be at the ideal amount of 30 percent.

At this meeting, Councilor Armand Bolduc stated that he feels the less impacting means would be to only pick up trash from a residence that has recycling out — less impacting for whom? If they put out a bucket with one aluminum can of recycling in it, you are still going to pick up the 40 bags of trash from the apartment building because you don’t specify how much needs to be recycled, or if every apartment in a building must recycle to allow for the collection of rubbish.

Councilor Baer commented that Pay As You Throw would be an infringement and hardship on the poor and elderly. You don’t just represent the elderly, councilor. You represent all of the people of Ward 4 and it’s about time you started doing it. The elderly only represent a piece of your ward

and the rest of us suffer because of your measures that are aimed to help your prime interest. This will actually help the elderly and drop their taxes if the council holds to the recommendations of the city manager and removes the amount saved from the taxable expenses.

Why do the councilors keep ignoring the obvious solution to the problem — Pay As You Throw! I am tired of paying for all of the apartment buildings in this city to have their rubbish picked up; I should only have to pay for what I put out at the curb. It is not my responsibility to subsidize the cost of doing business for a career landlord and its time this stops. I don’t want to see my taxes continually rise because of those that can’t seem to grasp the easy concept of two containers and moving your hand a few inches to take cost effective measures.

I know this letter will fall on deaf ears because half of our current council can’t seem to accept progress and are stuck in the past, but maybe with some pressure from others they will be forced to get with the times — stop taking money out of my pocket without my permission.

LETTERS Facilitators are in groups to manipulate outcomes to their liking To the editor, I attended a public meeting at the Moultonboro Library on December 17, 2012. Representatives from Plan N.H. were giving their recommendations about fundamentally transforming a “Quaint Town into a socialist dream of a Livable, Walkable Community.

I have heard it all in others towns across N.H. and in other states, especially in Portland, Oregon where there is a real divide in the state. One side has no homes, store, etc. and is a vast parcel of empty land. The other side is a clustered community of homes and businesses.

“Sustainable Communities” were created by the federal government via stimulus money given to all the states.The Granite State Future initiative is the New Hampshire version of an umbrella program directly connected to the “Sustainable Communities Initiative. The SCI is a federal, top-down program combining input from HUD, EPA and the DOT. Special- interest groups, called “stakeholders”, have direct input into state policy. It’s imperative to note that appointed, not elected, officials as well as outside special-interest groups are the primary decision makers in the Granite State Future. New Hampshire state agencies that are staffed with unelected bureaucrats are at the core of decision making in GSF as well as pay-to play partners. The Delphi Technique is used at all their meeting they use for consensus in the towns.

By the way this Delphi method was used for the charrette that took place for two days in the simmer of 2012 in Moultenboro. Facilitators are in the group to manipulate the outcome in their direction, but the public is told it was their input that determined the result.

Branches under the GSF are HEAL, creates Walkable, Livable Communities, NH Listens, which is out of the

Carsi Institute of UNH. We now have another listening program called the Lakes Region Listens. This stem of NH Listens has been into our school system with the Delphi technique, recently with the kindergarten issue in Winnisquam. The American Planning Association, which is an arm of the federal government and is also associated with SCI. Many community organizers, planning board member leaders and companies are included in this organization. The main purpose is to regulate land, air and water in our communities. The people who work for the APA say they are volunteers, but they are also “Stakeholders who will make money via the towns and cities in the forms of surveys, listening boxes and consensus meetings. One survey was done in Dover, NH by Hawk Enterprises,LLC, which charged the city $28,000-$30,000 for 9-10 consensus meetings conducted with the Delphi Method.

The Moultonboro session dated 12-17-2012 was given by Mr. Roger Hawk of Hawk Enterprises. He stated he was a volunteer for Plan NH, but he was also a past president. I think a conflict of interest resided at this meeting, because some of the people speaking were pay-to-play partners.

The other speakers were a architect, real estate agent and a land planner.

I listened to what Mr. Hawk and the four other people said; I did not interrupt or laugh at some of the pictures they were displaying, or the speeches.

The communities were taken right out of a plan-book, with embellished homes with porches creating roundabouts, moving buildings and creating new roadways. Another aspect was the creation of a town water system and a septic system, which both would cost a large sum of money.

When the group had finished talking, Mr. Hawk asked the audience for

questions. There were a lot of questions and statements; one man stood up and stated HUD would be involved with all the planning and would make the decisions exclusively without much input from the town. I finally raised my hand and stated that I have always been a frugal person, and due to the terrible economy, the fact that many people are down-sizing, therefore I could not understand where the money would come from, and I thought that their vision one and two (I called it Habitat one and two) were not in my common sense view and that towns and citizens could not afford the money. All of a sudden I was interrupted by a boisterous voice from the back of the room, calling me unmentionable names, I turned around and said he was rude young man. I continued to speak and I asked Mr. Hawk why he laughed at my statement concerning Habitat one and two. He responded it sounded

funny. I do have to mention that I did not interrupt him or laugh and that I was very respectful to him. I do have to comment that he tried to marginalize my thoughts, which is a Delphi Technique.

After the meeting, I found out the boisterous man was a selectman/minister of the town of Moultonboro! Mr. Ed Charest then verbally attacked me as I was leaving and stated that “you hate America” — an unfounded statement. I stated to him that he did not know me.

I did not know this man whose conduct was disgraceful. Our country’s greatness is the fact that we have the ‘First Amendment’,which gives us the right to ‘Free Speech”. It is very unfortunate when an elected official, chooses to sensor that right. When he does do, he does a disservice to the community and the office he serves.

For innocent people to survive attacks they need ‘enough’ bullets To the editor, Gun control advocates question why anyone objects to outlawing large capacity (more than 10 bullets) magazines. Some, who apparently watch too much TV, wonder why anyone needs more than one or two bullets.

I suggest these people visit a shooting range, watch or rent a gun. (I am sure they will help you. There is a shooting range in Belmont on Route 106.) It isn’t that easy to hit a still target when you are under no pressure.

How many bullets are needed?

Many hunters have distant targets running through the forest or flying and changing directions rapidly. If you run out of bullets, you may just go hungry.

Personal defense is a totally different matter. Unless you want the innocent victims to be robbed, beaten, raped, murdered or otherwise harmed, then a person needs “enough” bullets to get the attacker to stop attacking.

Gun control people think civilians should only need a few bullets, but heavily trained and prepared law enforcement sometimes uses many bullets. Four New York City policemen shot 61 bullets at Amadou Diallo who was unarmed and trapped in a hallway. A retired FBI agent tells how he and two other agents fired over 80 shots at an armed criminal who shot back (apparently incoming bullets affects your aim).

Remember that when one or more criminals arrive, intended victims will

be surprised. Criminals won’t stand still while you aim. You will be afraid, you may be trying to hide your, perhaps terrified and clingy, children, you will be calling for help, the attacker may be yelling at you, threatening or perhaps shooting at you, and you won’t want to shoot another person.

Recently a woman needed six shots to convince the man attacking her and her children to stop. Had the attacker been drugged or drunk or if there had been more than one attacker, perhaps with large capacity magazines that criminals will always be able to get, then the woman would have needed many more bullets.

This is why some women like guns like AR-15s which are light and can handle large capacity magazines holding the bullets that an intended victim, especially a woman, may need.

Approximately two-thirds of gun crime is in our 50 largest cities and is committed by gang members 11-19 years old. None of President Obama’s proposals will affect any of this gun violence.

For innocent people and their family members to survive attacks with least harm, they need guns with “enough” bullets. “Enough” may be zero or hundreds. When the intended victim doesn’t have “enough” bullets, then the police only get there in time to make chalk outlines.

Hosts of large underage drinking party are members of Laconia Leafs hockey team GILFORD — Police Chief Kevin Keenan confirmed Monday that a number of the people arrested at an underage drinking party over the weekend were members of the Laconia Leafs Junior Hockey team.

He said the house at 128 Yasmin Drive was rented by two of the hockey team’s players, Michael F. Hurlihy, 20, of Saco, Maine and Alexander Awuy, 19, of San Jose, Calif. They are both charged with one misdemeanor count of facilitating a house party.

Hurlihy is listed as the team’s captain.

Police said between 40 and 50 people were in the house, but that everyone cooperated with police. Twenty-three minors were arrested for unlawful possession and intoxication and are due be arraigned in 4th Circuit District Court in Laconia on March 7.

Det. Christopher Jacques said one tenant initially refused to let the

police in but the second tenant did.

Keenan said there were some youths were under the age of 18 and they were released to a responsible adult.

Keenan also said no one at the party appeared to be overly intoxicated.

Police that some marijuana and a large amount of alcohol was seized at the home.

The Leafs were practicing at the Laconia Ice Arena yesterday afternoon but when The Sun went there, a man who identified himself as a coach declined comment about the incident.

The Leafs are members of the Atlantic Junior Hockey League, which provides typically provides a pathway for young players to transition from high school hockey to play at the college level. The current roster includes players from 13 different states and one from Austria.

“I’m finding that families make incredible sacrifices for their children’s education,” she said.

Baker is confident the law will be upheld and eventually will win bipartisan support from lawmakers.

But House Education Chairwoman Mary Gile, a Concord Democrat and the repeal bill’s prime sponsor, insists the program will hurt public schools

by siphoning off money that could be used to improve them.

“Our primary responsibility as legislators is to ensure New Hampshire’s children, our children, have access to the best system of public education we can provide,” she said.

She said if 100 Concord students were awarded scholarships and left the public school system, the city could lose several hundred thousand dollars in state aid, she said.

PET OF THE WEEK IS BEETLEJUICE

Beetlejuice came to NHHS in January 2012 when his owners fell upon hard times and could no longer keep him. They’d adopted him from us three years prior. Safe in the knowledge we would place him in a home that pledged to keep him warm, happy and not put him outside; his family had to walk away. Later that year, a seemingly good fit- he was adopted! WE were clear that he has an aversion to dogs.

New family did not own at dog…but now they do.

Beettlejuice has endured a couple of hard knocks of his own, and it shows. He is sad, withdrawn, and frankly despondent. In better times he was fun loving, inquisitive, loved to get in the shower and most of all, enjoyed lots of lap time. Now he lays morosely in a cage wondering what the heck happened to his life.

So once more into the breach, if you don’t own a dog, and don’t plan on getting a dog, Beetlejuice would be a wonderful choice. He will need the luxury of time to settle, in an indoors only home.

Let’s give this big, robust cat a third and finally successful spin on the wheel of life.. come and see him today.

Meredith selectmen blasted for allowing expression of interest in the Granite State Future program

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Selectmen were told at Monday night’s meeting that they were remiss in allowing Community Development Director John Edgar to sign a letter expressing the town’s interest in participating in a Granite State Future long-range planning initiative.

Local Tea Party activist Tim Carter charged that the program is a ‘’federal government power grab taking away planning at the state and local level’’ and said selectmen should never have allowed Edgar to proceed without having first read the entire document.

When chairman of the Board of Selectmen Miller Lovett described the program as a long range planning initiative involving federal and state officials in a sustainable communities initiative which could benefit communities which take part , Carter said ‘’that’s not accurate. It’s incorrect and I can prove it,’’ and charged that it was a massive top down federal program to control of planning and land use decisions out of the hands of elected officials and place them in the hands of unelected bureaucrats. ‘’You give up all your decision making capabilities.

You will do what they say’’ said Carter, who cited language from the Granite State Future website that said that New Hampshire’s tradition on property rights could prove a barrier to implementing the sustainable communities initiative’s goals.

Carter said that he had read the whole document and would gladly share his expertise in a workshop with selectmen if they wanted to become more wellinformed.

He said that Rochester, and most recently, Salem have turned down participation in the program.

Carter’s views were supported by several other people who chose to speak in the comments section of the selectmen’s meeting, including former selectman David Sticht, who said that if only one percent of what Carter was saying was true then he opposed participation in the project.

Rosemary Landry of Meredith Neck charged that Granite State Future is ‘’taking away rights from citizens’’ and cited the installation of wireless smart meters for measuring water use in Salem as one of the examples. ‘’They want to take away our property rights’’ said Landry, who charged that N.H. Listens, the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire and Plan N.H. were also involved in efforts which threatened property rights and local control.

Don Ewing also voiced support for Sticht’s point of view saying ‘’we do not want you to give any of that authority away.’’

Lovett, who emphasized that he was speaking for himself and not other members of the board, said that his impression was there was ‘’a concerted movement’’ underway against Granite State Future because ‘’there is a political constituency which doesn’t like this program.’’

He said ‘’I’ve read Tim’s material’’ but added that he did not accept at face value the arguments which were made against the program.

The program is funded by a $3.37 million federal grant, of which $300,000 is going to the Lakes Region Planning Commission, which is headquartered in Meredith. ‘’There’s no commitment from selectmen, just shows a little statement of support for the planning effort,’’ said Lovett.

He described the Granite State Future effort as ‘’a long-range planning process with a great effort to get diversity’’ and said that in future stages there will be $100 million available for planning purposes and eventually HUD grants will be available for implementation of planned projects.

He said that the contracts will contain penalties if grant money isn’t used as intended but the idea that the goal of the program is to take away local control isn’t accurate and reflects an agenda which is not based on the reality of what the program is about and seeks to achieve.

Belmont awards $27k bid for bandstand restoration BELMONT — Selectmen voted unanimously this week to give a $27,560 contract to JR Graton-Arnold Graton Historic Restoration, LLC of Northfield for the first phase of the village bandstand restoration.

The board said nine people showed up for the December 4, 2012 request for interest and six of those nine submitted bids.

The initial bandstand work will stabilize the structure on a permanent, masonry foundation, install the preliminary work for future electrification, and replace the undercarriage and exterior lattice work.

Phase one also calls for repairs to be done to the original roof, replacing the flooring and designing appropriate stairs.

According to the bid, the work will be done accord-

ing to the U.S. Secretary of the Interiors Guidelines in order to maintain future historic grant funds and for another nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.

Selectman Ron Cormier said the project would likely begin in the summer. He said the foundation would first be built and then Mark Roberts will replace it atop the new foundation.

Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said $20,000 of the money will come from the capital account approved by the voters in the 2010 annual Town Meeting and the balance will come from the Heritage Commission fund-raising efforts throughout the years.

A-ROD from page 3 business in its directory, “There was a flier put out by the building management a couple weeks ago. It was put on all the doors and windows of all the offices,” said Brad Nickel, who works in a group cruise planning company on the floor above where the clinic was located. “It just said this guy’s not really a doctor, he doesn’t belong here, he’s no longer allowed here, call the police or

the building management if you see him.”

David Sierra, who works in his aunt’s real estate office in the same building, kept a picture of the flier on his iPhone. He recognized the doctor in the picture from passing him in the hallway.

The New Times posted copies of what it said were Bosch’s handwritten records, obtained through a former Biogenesis employee it did not identify.

Rodriguez appears 16 times in the documents it received, the paper said, either as “Alex Rodriguez,” ‘’Alex Rod” or the nickname “Cacique,” a pre-Columbian Caribbean chief.

Rodriguez admitted four years ago that he used PEDs from 2001-03. Cabrera, Colon and Grandal were suspended for 50 games each last year by MLB following tests for elevated testosterone. Responding to the testosterone use, MLB and the players’ union said Jan. 10 they were authorizing the World Anti-Doping Agency laboratory outside Montreal to store each major leaguer’s baseline testosterone/ epitestosterone (T/E) ratio in order to detect abnormalities.

A hearing is scheduled on the lawsuit on April 26, said Barbara Keshen, staff attorney at the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union. She said the court has ordered that scholarship organizations be made aware they might not be able to distribute money to students, depending on the outcome of the lawsuit.

“Any business that contributes under the law ... may have to pay their taxes in full to the state,” she added.

Drug-deal tip site in North Conway leads to conviction for heroin possession in Laconia LACONIA — A local man was sentenced Monday to serve two to seven years in the New Hampshire State Prison for possession of heroin.

Warrie Ward, 46, formerly of 205 Washington St. and later 35A Merrimac St. pleaded guilty Monday on the day his trial was scheduled to begin.

Affidavits for a search warrant indicate police became aware of Ward after receiving an anonymous tip that they later identified as someone from DAMMAD — a North Conway-based tip organization and Website that offers cash for convictions.

Police said they also got another tip that also described what the tipster thought was drug activity on Washington Street and a description of the cars the man usually drove.

Police initially stopped Ward after seeing a car matching the description of the one in the tip and knew it was being driven by a woman Ward was

dating. Affidavits indicated police knew both Ward and the driver of the car and that Ward had an outstanding warrant for receiving stolen property.

When they stopped the car, police smelled alcohol and the driver admitted that Ward had just poured a beer out before they were stopped. She also said Ward had a small amount of heroin in his apartment and was a daily user.

Police noticed Ward had a large amount of cash on him, but, after a motion was filed for the return of the money because it was earned by him legitimately. Judge James O’Neill agreed and gave Ward back his money.

Ward was credited with 215 days of pre-trial confinement and ordered to pay a fine of $500 plus $120 in court fees. All of the fine was suspended. He is also ordered to complete substance abuse counseling.

STATE SCHOOL from page one mendation to the Governor and Executive Council, which must approve its sale. The statute stipulates that real estate must first be offered to the municipality or county where it is located and sold for not less than its “current market value.”

Instead, the Legislature, at the initiative of the Senate, directed the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to offer the property to the city for $10-million and, if the city declined, to offer it to Belknap County at “fair market value.” If neither the city nor the county accepted the offer, the department was instructed to sell the property on the open market and was given $250,000 to hire a consultant and broker to further the transaction.

Any sale would be subject to the approval of the governor and Executive Council.

The city declined the offer of $10-million, but when the state appriased the property at $2.16-million submitted a counter-offer to buy it at that price.

The counter-offer was refused, the county said it didn’t want the property and the DAS proceeded as directed. The department has selected a broker and next month will present a contract to the governor and Executive Council for approval.

Rausch, who has said that the state should not sell the property, told the committee that “the process should not have been circumvented.” Noting that that the property has “significant value,” he explained that he intended to ensure the issue undergoes a thorough review “whether or not the property is sold.”

Rep. Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett), the House Minority Leader serving his 17th term, echoed Rausch, suggesting that the process by which the property was first offered for sale was less than transparent.

Like Rausch, he has misgivings about the selling the property and after the hearing remarked that “some of us think this is about Laconia getting it for less than it’s worth.”

Lahey reminded the committee that from 2009 until 2011 he chaired a commission convened by the

Legislature to weigh the future of the property. He said that one of its first tasks was to survey all state departments and agencies to determine if they had any use for all or part of the site. “There were no future uses,” he said. He noted that in addition to the appraisal performed by the state, the City Council also commissioned an appraisal and stressed there was no significant discrepancy between the two.

Finally Lahey said that an environmental assessment of the property found numerous sources of contamination, especially in around the more than two dozen buildings on the site, which diminished the value of the property. He explained that the city, but not the state, would be eligible for federal assistance in addressing the contamination.

“Everything that would have been unearthed by the Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee has already been accomplished,” Lahey said, “and then some.”

Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and principal architect of the move to sell the site, said that he prefers to follow the process to its conclusion rather than refer the issue to the Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee, which he suspects would shelve the sale of the property. Morse has often described the site as “a money pit” and yesterday reminded Chandler “I’m not putting a dime into this property.”

Morse appears to have the support not only of a majority of the committee, including Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith), but also the president of the Senate, Peter Bragdon (R-Milford).

This photograph, looking north toward the top of Meredith Bay, shows the snow being cleared on Tuesday from the 21 rinks that have been prepared for this weekend’s 4th AnnualNew England Pond Hockey Classic. About 1,400 players are expected to participate. (Bill Hemmel/Lakes Region Aerials)

POND CLASSIC from page one local hockey culture and attract players who would want to take part in the three-day, outdoor hockey tournament. In his second year, Crowder and his crew had to deal with several inches of slush on top of their Meredith Bay rinks. Last year, the ice didn’t form quickly enough on Lake Winnipesaukee, so his company had to develop an alternative location on nearby Lake Waukewan.

He and his crew must have done a good job last year, despite the location hurdle. Most of the teams that participated in last year’s tournament wasted very little time in registering for the 2013 event.

Crowder said many age divisions were sold out within four hours of registration opening, and the rest filled up shortly thereafter. That’s even with Crowder expanding the tournament to 200 teams, up from 175, and 1,400 total players. Many of those players will travel from outside of the region for three days of hockey, filling local hotels, rental properties and restaurants during their stay.

What attracts the hockey players to the event is the opportunity to play the sport in an outdoor setting, with mountains and Meredith village as a backdrop and with the bubbles, cracks and undulations inherent to a natural ice playing surface.

What’s kept them coming back, hopes Crowder, is the experience that he labors to provide.

“I think it’s something good, from an event manager perspective, that people are returning,” he said.

Now that the event is in its fourth year, he expects that players are drawn back because of team friendships that have developed and because they’ve grown enamored of the charms of Meredith and surrounding towns. However, Crowder also thinks the continued success will depend on the qualities of the event itself. Namely, if it will continue to put a smile

on every player that shows up.

He called it, “Keeping it true, so we can host it properly.”

That philosophy of management has included capping the registration numbers at levels that both he, Meredith Bay and the surrounding community can reasonably accommodate. It has also meant pursuing partnerships with sponsors that will bring more to the event than a banner flying overhead. For example, on Thursday night, players who have just checked in can attend the welcome party thrown

by Labatt Blue; meanwhile Bauer will be leading a skills competition.

“It’s a weekend away to have some fun,” said Crowder, adding that his goal is to keep it that way.

Fortunately, he seems to have Mother Nature on his side, at least this year. An extended cold snap earlier this month produced ice at least a foot thick across Meredith Bay, thick enough for his crews to use trucks to clear the rinks. Although meteorologists predict an unusually warm day today, the extended forecast calls for perfect hockey weather through the tournament.

Crowder has also been encouraged by the partnership of community members, including the impromptu village of ice fishermen who have inhabited Meredith Bay each winter for decades. Instead of seeing the hockey tournament as encroaching on their territory, they’ve welcomed the spectacle and refrained from drilling holes in the middle of the rinks – at least until the tournament is over. “The fishermen have been amazing,” Crowder reported.

Crowder has one final concern in the days leading up to the event. Due to the warm weather today, the ice surface will be soft and mushy. Should anyone try to skate, or even walk across the rinks, the sursee next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, January 30, 2013— Page 11

NH MURDER from page 2 in six foreign languages, including Mandarin and Bengali.

She delivered her alma mater’s commencement address in 2011.

Timothy Breen, head of the White Mountain School, said he was notified of the homicide by law enforcement authorities early Tuesday.

“Every indication I’ve been given is, frankly, that this is a random, senseless attack,” Breen said.

Employees at the hotel would not discuss the stabbing. Brett Loehr, its director of operations, issued a brief statement extending condolences to the victim’s family and saying staff is cooperating with investigators.

Hill’s wife, Amy, did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment. She is a senior editor of SportsField Management Magazine, pub-

lished by Moose River Publishing in St. Johnsbury, Vt. The publishing company’s vice president for finance, Sharon Ferland, declined to comment.

A business called Hillside Welding and Mechanical Repairs is registered to Hill’s West Danville address. Morrell said she doesn’t have much background information on him.

Breen said Houghton’s participation in the school — from which she graduated in 1960 — was a wonderful opportunity for both the 110-student private school and for Houghton.

“She’s a great example of a graduate and what we aspire to as a school — to create young men and women who will go out and make the world a better place,” Breen said, saying her membership on the board “was her way of giving back to the school.”

It was not immediately known Tuesday if Hill has a lawyer.

BRAZIL FIRE from page 2 tible material that appeared to have ignited after it came in contact with a spark from a flare lit during the performance.

After the fire extinguisher malfunctioned, the blaze spread throughout the packed club at lightning speed, emitting a thick, toxic smoke. Because Kiss apparently had neither an alarm nor a sprinkler system and only one working exit, the crowd was left to search desperately for a way out.

About 50 of the victims were found in the club’s two bathrooms, where the blinding smoke caused them to believe the doors were exits.

Police investigator Arigony said people headed to the bathrooms because the only lights in the dark club were coming from there, and the patrons mistook them for exits. The foam, which emitted a toxic gas, was not proper soundproofing equipment and was likely only used to cut down on the echo inside the club, Arigony said.

He added that a full analysis of the foam was ongoing. The malfunctioning fire extinguisher was not legal, he said, and the club’s operating license

had expired in August.

“There were diverse irregularities,” Arigony said.

“Any child could have seen that this establishment should not have been open.”

Outraged locals, mostly young people like those who died in the blaze, marched through Santa Maria Tuesday to demand justice for the dead, an unusual move in a country where public protests are rare. The demonstration interrupted the police news conference, even as Arigony pledged to investigate everyone involved in the tragedy — including the authorities charged with making sure such establishments are up to code, such as firefighters and city officials.

“There could have been an administrative failure in the mayor’s office or with the firefighters,” he said.

“We have no proof, but we will investigate, we will look into everything.”

No charges have been filed. Under Brazilian law, prosecutors can only file charges after police complete their investigation, which in this case could take 30 days. Prosecutors have said manslaughter charges could be filed.

KERRY from page 2 The Massachusetts Democrat, who had pined for the job but was passed over in 2009, has served as Obama’s unofficial envoy, smoothing fractious ties with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

“Sen. Kerry will need no introduction to the world’s political and military leaders and will begin Day One fully conversant not only with the intricacies of U.S. foreign policy, but able to act on a multitude of international stages,” said Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who will succeed Kerry as committee chairman.

Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the panel’s top Republican, called Kerry “a realist” who will deal with unrest in Egypt, civil war in Syria, the threat of al-Qaida-linked groups in Africa and Iran’s pursuit

of nuclear weapons.

Kerry, a forceful proponent of climate change legislation, also will have a say in whether the United States moves ahead on the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, a divisive issue that has roiled environmentalists.

Obama had nominated Kerry after Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, removed her name from consideration following criticism from Republicans over her initial comments about the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

from preceding page face could be ruined. So, he’s asking members of the public to stay off the rinks until the tournament begins. There will be areas reserved for public skating during the event, he added.

Lakes Region Singers Lian Zhen watercolor workshop planned at Castle in the Clouds in August nearing capacity launching rehearsals for Spring Concert Season MOULTONBOROUGH — Although still eight months away, the third annual Lian Zhen Watercolor workshop at Castle in the Clouds, August 12-15 is nearly full. Only a few slots for applicants remain.

Zhen, a renowned watercolor artist, his works displayed in museums throughout the world, is also a tireless and popular teacher who has conducted workshops in every continent on the planet except Antarctica.

His workshops teach both western and Asian techniques. His two previous “Castle” workshops garnered hugely popular feedback from attendees, many of whom have returned more than once.

Potential applicants should know that, despite Zhen’s expansive resume, his workshops work well for students of all skill levels, even beginners.

Local artist and workshop organizer, Estelle Smith, notes that “The groundswell of support for Lian’s workshops in little old Moultonboro has been...well...astounding. But when I think about it, he is a wonderful artist, a wonderful teacher, and wonderful man, conducting a workshop in one of the

most beautiful settings in the world. Why would this not be a success? I am truly proud to be a part of the uniques experience his presence here offers our community and the Lakes Region”.

Locally-based Old Salt Band opening for Blue Oyster Cult Friday at Flying Monkey in Plymouth PLYMOUTH — The Old Salt Band will be opening for Blue Oyster Cult at the Flying Monkey his Friday, Feb 1 at 7:30 p.m.

The band started as “The Rock On! Tribute band” which played tribute to the late Bob Harding, visionary founder of the Meadowbrook US Cellular Pavilion, who passed away in 2008.

At his memorial service, good friends Greg Miner and Doug Gray performed a song Greg wrote titled “Say Hello to Johnny”. The lyrics were a farewell to Bob as he went to reunite with Johnny Cash in heaven.

R.J. Harding, Bob’s son, said:” Greg and Doug wrote such a beautiful song for my father’s memorial service that I thought other people might appreciate the way it honors his legacy”.

Greg and Doug joined with RJ, his sons Luke and Nick, along with Beau Skonieczny on drums, to perform on Meadowbrook’s main stage as the opening act for Lynyrd Skynyrd and Joan Jett with “Say

Hello to Johnny” as the feature song.

Old Salt Band, aka “OSB”, came together when Greg, Doug and Beau were joined by Kirk Meloney on bass guitar and vocals. The band was asked back the next year to open for “The Happy Together Tour” performing all original songs from their first CD titled First One’s On Us. The band was well received and performed again the following season opening for “The Hippie Fest tour”.

The Old Salt Band has opened for some of the icons of rock and roll including, Rick Derringer, Dave Mason, Badfinger, and Mark Farner with Grand Funk Railroad just to mention a few.

Since then OSB has begun to record its second CD to be released this summer. First Ones On Us is available from CD Baby and iTunes.

The Flying Monkey in Plymouth is well known for its old style venue hosting many famous acts. OSB has recently opened at the Monkey for the Marshall Tucker band and Jefferson Starship.

LACONIA — The Laconia Human Relations Committee, in cooperation with the Laconia Public Library, will present Tokyo Sonata, another in the International Film Series to be shown on Monday, February 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the Laconia Public Library.

The raw wound of unemployment rests at the center of the global economy. In this movie it is placed in Japan. Kiyoshi Kurosawa brings the fraught power and bleak humor of Tokyo Sonata to the screen. This is the story of a man who’s lost his job at a high-profile company and, instead of telling his family, attempts to string them along for as long as he can on his severance package. He suits up every day, either looking for work or eating free meals in unemployment lines. The need for respect is the undercurrent of coping.

Tokyo Sonata is a versatile character study that explores the four members of the Sasaki family, showing how the father’s “hidden” transgressions dictate

the manner in which he controls his family -- and how they all develop around his change in behavior.

Each son sees differing paths for themselves, the youngest as a piano player and the oldest as a solider.

These are just “whims” to the father and cannot possibly lead to a stable future for them. The desperate humor and growing intensity of each family member brings to life the tenuousness of survival. Watching how the Sasaki family deconstructs underneath the weight of their patriarch’s lies, the movie reveals how each survives to come together again.

A 2008 movie. Tokyo Sonata received a Cannes Festival Jury Award.

The Laconia International Film Series is open free to everyone. Informal discussion follows the film.

Light snacks are provided. Feel free to bring a cushion for comfort in viewing the movie.

For more information, contact Len Campbell at lcampbell@nh-cc.org or Lovinia Ellsworth at Lovinia.Ellsworth@yahoo.com.

LACONIA — LRGHealthcare will hold a social gathering for women affected by breast cancer on Monday, February 4, at 4:30 p.m.

Light refreshments will be served and participants are encouraged to come relax and visit among other women to share stories and discuss experiences.

The social gathering will be held at the Women’s Imaging Center located at Lakes Region General Hospital, Laconia.

For more information on the February Breast Cancer and Beyond Social, contact Ginny Witkin (vwitkin@lrgh.org) at 527-2940.

GILFORD — Lakes Region Singers, the wellknown community choral group that performs at First United Methodist Church on Route 11-A in Gilford, launched their spring concert season with an advisory board meeting on Monday, January 28, and a first rehearsal on Tuesday, January 29.

The advisory board consists of LRS director Karen Jordan and LRS members Mary Albert, Kelly Cleveland, Charlotte Cox, Lorraine Gebhardt, Paul Stickney, Betty Welch, and Rachel Young.

The planners met to discuss performing in additional locations, increasing options for sponsors and advertisers, and recruiting more male members of the chorus.

According to Jordan, “We could really use some additional tenor and bass voices in our growing membership. There is no audition, so all you need is a desire to sing and a willingness to learn. Whatever your age, from high school on up, if you have an interest, come on out to our next rehearsal on Tuesday, February 5, and test the waters with our congenial group of singers.”

The Youth Chorus for ages 7-14 rehearses every Tuesday evening at 6:30 p.m., and the Adult Chorus rehearses on the same evenings at 7:30 p.m. “We welcome more young voices, but we also want to reach out to high school singers in our community and encourage them to consider joining the adult chorus,” said Jordan. “These are great opportunities to start singing with a large group, we’re expanding every season, and we do have fun.”

In the two spring concerts scheduled for Friday, May 3, and Sunday, May 5, the Adult Chorus program will feature songs by Cole Porter and George Gershwin, plus swing/jazz/big band favorites like “It’s De-Lovely” and “Flip, Flop, and Fly,” and include medleys from familiar Broadway musicals such as Wicked and Les Miserables.

The Youth Chorus will sing pieces like “Ordinary Day” from the movie Charlotte’s Web and “Whole New World” from the movie Aladdin. They will also join with the adults in performing “Let There Be Peace on Earth.”

Jordan declares, “We’re all excited to get singing again. If you are interested in joining but can’t make the next rehearsal, just let me know so we can save a music folder for you. Bring a friend along as well, and we’ll make this spring the best season ever.” For more information call the director at 524-0835 or 998-8545, or email her at kpj@jordanassociatesinc.com.

Tri County CAP in need

International Film Series presenting Tokyo Sonata of power chair & scooter

Breast Cancer and Beyond group meets February 4

TAMWORTH — CAP’s Transit Division provides senior, disabled, low income, and general public transportation services to the residents of Coos, Carroll, and Grafton counties. To ensure safe practices are met each driver receives training in emergency evacuation, defensive driving, and passenger assistance which includes how to safely secure a passenger and their wheelchair or mobility device in our accessible vehicles.

Tri-County CAP is hoping someone may have a power chair and a scooter they would like to donate to the transit division that can be used for training purposes. The chair and scooter do not have to be in working condition but must be intact.

Buses are wheelchair accessible allowing those residents who use mobility devises to travel to medical appointments, grocery shopping and social activities helping them to maintain their independence, dignity, and well being. Because there is a variety of wheelchairs, power chairs, and scooters being used today by the public, securing the devices becomes difficult without the actual devices to learn on.

The Transportation Division hopes to have a power chair and scooter donated to use for the required trainings. Anyone that would have a chair or scooter they are not using and would like to donate it to CAP can contact Beverly Raymond at 752-1741 or by email at braymond@tccap.org. Tri County Cap Transit will make arrangements to pick up the item.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis with them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Maybe you won’t exactly say “my way or the highway,” but you’ll think it. Then you’ll walk away, calm down and consider whether other ways really would work after all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Sometimes conflicts arise to show us that everyone is wrong. When no one has the right answer, go back to the drawing board for a brainstorming session that will break the problem wide open.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

What will you do for family? The answer is: a lot more than you would do for anyone who doesn’t fall into the category. You take care of your own whether or not they deserve it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Someone wants your contribution.

Consider this carefully. The challenge issued to you will rock your world for the next few weeks if you choose to take it on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you’re struck with inspiration, it often feels like a magical, mystical experience. Where do these ideas come from? In today’s case, it certainly feels as though you are channeling them from on high.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 30). You know what you’re good at, and you’ll prove it this year. With the sun, Mercury and Mars invigorating your sense of purpose, you feel empowered to lay claim to a shining goal and tell everyone you know about it until you get the support you need to proceed. February brings romance. March brings money.

Pisces and Cancer people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 18, 3, 27, 41 and 49.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Questions of loyalty arise, and you sort them out as such. You are loyal to those who have proved loyal to you. As for the others, you don’t promise much, but you’re sure to deliver on whatever those promises may be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). As much as you try to stay out of it, power struggles that are going on in the higher ranks will affect you. This is a time to focus on the elements that are within your control.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Matters of timing will become matters of identity. For instance, those who are always late will be stuck with that stigma, and those who are usually ahead of the trend will be lauded for their progressive tendencies.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can’t take a leap of faith and simultaneously stay in the same place. Put some energy behind your choice. If you just let go, you’ll fall. Your best chance at success comes when you run and jump.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A loved one’s schedule affects yours, and his or her opinions have a way of rubbing off on you, too. This is a fine day to create some space to listen to your own uninfluenced thoughts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may be reasonably certain that you’re right, but you’ll be sorry if you make statements to that end. It only gives others the impulse to prove you wrong.

Better to tone it down and slip under the radar.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll gather evidence of your social habits.

Aware that your time is a gift, when people crave your company, it’s a sign that you are being selfless in your hours

PLYMOUTH — The Pemi-Baker Valley Republican Committee (PBVRC) celebrates the birthdays of two great past Presidents—Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan—on Saturday, February 9. The annual dinner will be held at the Woodstock Inn in North Woodstock with a social hour from 5-6 p.m., followed by a dinner of prime rib, chicken alfredo and salmon.

The evening’s keynote speaker is NH Executive Councilor from District 3 Chris Sununu, who is also the CEO of Waterville Valley Resort. Sununu holds a BS degree in Civil/Environmental Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.).

He is an active skier and rugby player and, in 1998, completed a five-month through-hike of the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia.

Several other officeholders have been invited to join the festivities.

There will also be a silent and a live auction, with many items suitable as gifts for Valentine’s Day, which is five days later.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’ve been with a wonderful guy for five years.

After two abusive marriages, I am finally being treated right.

“Bud” and I have only two issues: money and kids. We have broken up a few times over our problems, but honestly, I can’t live without him.

Bud is 44 years old and owns his own business, but he does not save money. When I met him, he had nothing. Now he has $20,000 in a retirement account and another $5,000 in savings. He finally has his two kids pretty well straightened out, although they will never be exactly normal.

Bud still doesn’t manage his money well. He needs so many things in his house, yet he went out and bought a truck he doesn’t need. He now has six years of payments on it, his auto insurance went up, and if he ever needs new tires, we are talking thousands of dollars. I want him to sell it and get a reasonably priced truck. He says he will lose money on the sale, which is true, but why sink even more into it? Both of my marriages involved men who overspent on themselves, so I know I have a tendency to be extra cautious. How can I convince Bud that he did the wrong thing by buying the truck, but that he still has time to fix it? I won’t marry a man I can’t trust with my money. Not again.

-- Thrice Shy Dear Thrice: You can’t treat Bud like a child, even if he makes poor financial decisions. He will resent it and push back. Instead, approach all such matters jointly, being respectful of each other’s opinions, even when you disagree.

You also could offer to take over the handling of finances for the household, keeping everyone within a reasonable budget. But you are wise not to commingle your money if you don’t trust Bud’s ability to handle it. Before marrying, consider financial counseling together through your bank or the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (nfcc.org).

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married 27 years. We each have grown children from previous marriages.

My husband’s 42-year-old unmarried son lives out of state. “Mike” is self-supporting, but the only time we hear from him is when he needs some extra money. He lives alone except for his dogs. For the past three years, Mike has spent Christmas with us, staying three or four days. We are always happy to see him, even though we only have two bedrooms and he brings the dogs -- even one who is incontinent.

Last year, my daughter (who also lives out of state) visited with her two children. We hadn’t seen her in two years. My husband also was scheduled for knee replacement surgery the following week. So when Mike asked to come with his dogs and a new puppy, we explained that it wasn’t a good time. We asked him to come in February or March, while his father recuperated -- and hopefully, the puppy would be housebroken.

We have not heard from him since, even though I have left numerous messages on his voicemail. What more can I do to mend this fragile relationship? -- In the Middle Dear Middle: Not much. You have explained, and you have called. We trust you will keep all of the kids informed of Dad’s progress, including Mike. But it is up to him to make the next move. We suspect when he needs money, he will get in touch again.

Dear Annie: Most women who responded to “Your Husband” do not understand men very well. Without sex, men feel incomplete. It’s part of how we feel loved. Women should realize how important sex is to a man simply by seeing that he is willing to risk everything -- his wife, family and assets -- to fill this void. -- Feeling the Void in Indiana

Belknap Mill Exhibit features sketches of Ululissat Oscar Night at the Movies Friday at Gilman Library

LACONIA — Greenland is a place so far away many of us cannot locate it quickly on a map. It brings to mind a windswept island and a climate and people that are a mystery to us.

Those who have wondered about Greenland, can get a unique and beautiful view of the country when Color Sketches of Ilulissat, a photography exhibit by Bill Cain, opens at the Belknap Mill on Beacon St. in downtown Laconia on Friday, February 1 from 5-7 p.m.

The exhibit kicks off with a champagne reception and a chance to chat with Cain. With years of experience as a professional photographer and many trips to foreign lands to his credit, he is eager to share his travels and photography with others.

A former studio photographer, Cain is now semiretired but continues to capture the world around him through the camera lens. (He pioneered the promotional dog and pet portrait concept in the Northeast and ran Dog Gone Portraits for 15 years, shooting over 10,000 sittings from1992 until 2006.)

He also was a regular contributor to the Concord Monitor newspaper’s Sunday travel section; during that time, he wrote over 50 feature articles.

Added to this, Cain has authored six photography books and his work has appeared in various media, including several photo exhibits.

No stranger to world wide travel, Bill and his wife, Peggy, have visited over 80 countries, including all seven continents. Color Sketches of Ilulissat

The Belknap Mill gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
