wednesday LHS football field won’t be able to be moved as far as planned; parking & traffic flow key concerns of Huot planning committee Police charge Lakeport pawn shop owner has knowingly been All the pretty horses receiving stolen property

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Engineers and architects told the committee planing the renovation and expansion of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center last night that a bid for $37,000 to remove the two remaining houses on the west side of Dewey Street has been awarded.

LACONIA — Following what they say was a long investigation, police yesterday arrested Ralph Alexander, Sr., 42, of 169 Sheridan Street, who owns and operates Curbside Treasures, the pawn shop at 49 Elm Street, on charges of receiving stolen property and making false statements.

According to police, officers learned from anonymous informants that Alexander would purchase stolen items — ranging from jewelry to tools — and sell them outside the city and its environs. Police allege that he willingly bought goods that he knew were stolen yet completed a written statement that he never purchased stolen property.

Police are still pursuing their investigation as several items that Alexander allegedly purchased are still missing.

Last year the City see Pawn page 15

Lavallee-Brensinger Architect Lance Whitehead said the budget for the removal of the two houses was $50,000 and he expects the demolition to be finished by Thanksgiving.

Removing the two houses is but a small part of the $11-million expansion of the Huot Technical Center that is now into the stages where materi-

als, interior and parking are being discussed.

A second issue raised by committee members last night is one of parking and traffic patterns.

Parking and landscape engineer Jim Boudreau said the proposed relocation of the High School football field, further west into the Bobotas Field hill is not going to be as easy

as the planning team initially thought, so there will not likely be as many new parking spaces created by moving the gridiron.

With 245 existing spaces at the school, Boudreau said the design team had hoped for an additional 75 spaces but probably only get 50 because of the grandstands and the relocated see HUOT page 6

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — At the request of a local taxpayer, the town’s Budget Committee voted last week to televise its meetings on Lakes Region Public Access television.

According to Town Administrator Scott Dunn, Leo Sanfacon made his request through Dunn, who then brought the matter to the attention of the selectmen and Budget Committee Chair Dick Hickok.

He said the Budget Committee voted to approve Sanfacon’s request so there is no need to bring it to the selectmen’s atten-

Same Paper…Same Price

tion. Dunn said the costs are “miniscule” and the meetings would be televised about a week after they actually occur.

Yesterday, Hickok said not all of the members of the Budget Committee were in favor of being on television, not because of the publicity, but because there is a new secretary and some committee members questioned whether or not it would compromise her minute-taking abilities.

He said Budget Committee member Dale Dormody volunteered to run the equipment at Thursday’s meeting as a test run.

Hickok said all Budget Committee meet-

ings are open to the public, that there is a period for public comment, and as chair he takes pride in the fact that members engage in open and public discussions and dissensions.

This Thursday, the Budget Committee will discuss the Planning Department budget as recommended by the Selectboard.

Yesterday, the three-person subcommittee of Dormody, David “Skip” Murphy, and David Horvath Sr. reviewed in detail the selectmen’s proposed Planning Department budget. see GILFORd page 8

NEW YORK (AP) — Now it’s personal: Hundreds of anti-Wall Street protesters held a “Millionaires March” on Tuesday past the homes of some of the wealthiest executives in America, stopping to jeer “Tax the rich!” and “Where’s my bailout?”

Walking two-by-two on the sidewalk because they had no march permit and didn’t want to be charged with blocking traffic, members of the Occupy Wall Street movement and other groups made their way up Manhattan’s East Side, along streets like Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue where some of the richest 1 percent of the population live in townhouses and luxury apartments.

They paused outside buildings where media mogul Rupert Murdoch, banker Jamie Dimon and oil tycoon David Koch have homes, and decried the impending expiration of New see PROTEST page 7

WASHINGTON (AP) — United against Barack Obama, Senate Republicans voted Tuesday night to kill the jobs package the president had spent weeks campaigning for across the country, a stinging loss at the hands of lawmakers opposed to stimulusstyle spending and a tax increase on the very wealthy.

Forty-six Republicans joined with two Democrats to filibuster the $447 billion plan. Fifty Democrats had voted for it, but the vote was not final. The roll call was kept open to allow Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. to vote. The likely 51-48 eventual tally would be far short of the 60 votes needed to keep the bill alive in the 100-

member Senate.

The demise of Obama’s $447 billion jobs package was expected, despite his campaign-style efforts to swing the public behind it. The White House and leaders in Congress were already moving on to alternative ways to address the nation’s painful 9.1 percent unemployment, including breaking the legislation into smaller, more digestible pieces and approving longstalled trade bills.

The White House appears most confident that it will be able to continue a 2-percentage-point Social Security payroll tax cut through 2012 and to extend emergency unemployment benefits to millions

of people — if only because, in the White House view, Republicans won’t want to accept the political harm of letting those provisions expire.

White House officials are also hopeful of ultimately garnering votes for the approval of infrastructure spending and tax credits for businesses that hire unemployed veterans.

Democrats Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Jon Tester of Montana — both up for reelection next year in states where Obama figures to lose — broke with their party on Tuesday night’s vote. Every Republican present opposed the plan.

Earlier in the day, Obama capped his see next page

LEBANON, N.H.(AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — who spurned repeated calls to run for president himself — endorsed Mitt Romney for the GOP presidential nomination Tuesday, sending a signal to the skeptical GOP establishment to fall in line behind the former Massachusetts governor.

“I’m here in New Hampshire for one simple reason: America cannot survive another four years of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney’s the man to lead America and we need him now,” Christie said, standing alongside Romney.

The endorsement was a surprise, coming just hours before a GOP presidential

debate and just a week after the pugnacious, budget-cutting Christie disappointed party elders and top GOP donors when he decided last week that he wouldn’t run for president in 2012.

In the intervening days, Romney and his chief rival, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, have been scrambling to win support from the donors and party elders who had been sitting on the sidelines and waiting for Christie to decide.

It’s unclear just how much impact — if any — the endorsement will have with voters less than three months before the primary voting season begins and as Romney tries to position himself as the

party’s inevitable nominee.

Voters tend to make up their own minds about who to support.

But Christie’s endorsement could influence groups Romney has struggled to win over — a core segment of the GOP establishment that isn’t enthused by him, and the tea party, many of whom view him as insincere on issues they hold dear.

In a hastily arranged news conference on the debate sidelines, Christie said the former Massachusetts governor could beat Obama and has the right mix of private sector and government experience to be president. see ROMNEY page 8

Celina’s stepdad denies any Romney stakes out middle ground during debate HANOVER, N.H. (AP) — Presidential challenger who has climbed in polls lately, got more air time than involvement in her death usual. He repeatedly touted his call for replacing the Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama of

WEST STEWARTSTOWN, N.H. (AP) — The stepfather of an 11-year-old girl whose body was pulled from the Connecticut River in August says he had nothing to do with her disappearance and death.

Wendell Noyes told WMUR-TV that he discovered that Celina Cass was missing the morning after she was last seen on the family computer on July 25.

“When I got up that morning, there was, well, she usually sleeps on the couch,” Noyes said Monday.

He said the door to the family’s duplex in West Stewartstown had been left unlocked the night before and someone else was in the apartment after he and Celina’s mother, Luisia Cass, had gone to bed.

“I had nothing to do with it,” Noyes said. “We left the door unlocked, and somebody else was in the apartment after we went upstairs.”

An autopsy failed to pinpoint how Celina died.

Toxicology tests are pending.

Noyes initially spoke to reporters about Celina’s disappearance but later stopped speaking out. He is now living alone. He confirmed to WMUR that Celina’s mother, whom he married a year ago, doesn’t want him around.

from preceding page weekslong campaign for the measure in an appearance typical of the effort — a tough-talking speech in a swing state crucial to his re-election. In fact, it seemed aimed more at rallying his core political supporters heading into the election than changing minds on Capitol Hill.

“Any senator who votes no should have to look you in the eye and tell you what exactly they’re opposed to,” Obama said to a union audience in Pittsburgh. “I think they’ll have a hard time explaining why they voted no on this bill — other than the fact that I proposed it.”

Democrats were not wholly united behind the measure. In addition to Nelson and Tester, Sens. Jim Webb, D-Va., Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent who aligns with Democrats, said they oppose the underlying measure despite voting to choke off the filibuster.

Obama’s plan would combine Social Security payroll tax cuts for workers and businesses and other tax relief totaling about $270 billion with $175 billion in new spending on roads, school repairs and other infrastructure, as well as unemployment assistance and help to local governments to avoid layoffs of teachers, firefighters and police officers.

Obama said that the plan — more than half the size of his 2009 economic stimulus measure — would be an insurance policy against a double-dip recession and that continued economic intervention was essential given slower-than-hoped job growth.

“Right now, our economy needs a jolt,” Obama said. “Right now.”

Unlike the 2009 legislation, the current plan would be paid for with a 5.6 percent surcharge on income exceeding $1 million. That would be expected to raise about $450 billion over the coming decade.

“Democrats’ sole proposal is to keep doing what hasn’t worked — along with a massive tax hike that we know won’t create jobs,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Tuesday, saying there are 1.5 million fewer jobs than when Obama’s 2009 economic package became law. “Why on earth would you support an approach that we already know won’t work?” McConnell said.

The White House and Democratic leaders, however, were pleased that the great majority of Democrats voted for the plan. Support among Democrats was shored up by replacing Obama’s tax increases — particularly a proposal to limit the value of itemized deductions for families making more than $250,000 — with the surcharge on millionaires.

That millionaires proposal would hit about 392,000 households, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank. In 2013, the first year the tax would take effect, those wealthy households would see their taxes increase by an average of $110,500, according to the analysis.

failing to lead in a time of economic peril but sounded less conservative than his Republican rivals in their debate Tuesday night, defending the 2008-2009 Wall Street bailout and declaring he could work with “good” Democrats.

Romney also gave one of his most spirited defenses of his health care initiative when he was Massachusetts governor, legislation that Obama has called a partial blueprint for his own national overhaul. By positioning himself closer to the political center on several points, Romney sought to underscore his claim that he can draw crucial independent voters in next year’s general election.

His chief rival, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, seemed less sure-footed. He repeated his main talking points about free enterprise but did little to dent Romney.

Meanwhile Tuesday, Obama defended his economic policies and criticized his Republican foes in a visit to the general election battleground of Pennsylvania.

And, hours before the candidates met in Hanover, Romney picked up New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s endorsement. Romney hopes it will help cement his support among the GOP establishment and nurture an image that he’s the party’s inevitable nominee.

Romney seemed happy to play the part of frontrunner in the nearly two-hour debate, sponsored

Why we need more government in health care “Home-Health Firms Blasted.”

The headline refers to a Senate Finance Committee finding that major providers of home-based services to Medicare patients were bilking the government program.

Big time.

Paying for nurse and therapist visits to patients’ homes was supposed to cut down on high hospital charges. But the three biggest homehealth giants have been abusing the system by gaming the number of visits and pushing unnecessary care.

“At worst, they may be examples of for-profit companies defrauding” the taxpayers, the committee report said.

A good-news story lurks under the distasteful details. If the program for the elderly and disabled is so rife with waste, fraud and abuse, then its rising costs could be curbed without dismantling what people like about it. The Republican alternative (already passed in the House) would turn Medicare into a voucher system: Beneficiaries would be given a set sum with which to buy coverage from a private insurer. The voucher payments would not keep up with projected hikes in health care prices. This would let for-profit interests decide what benefits the elderly would receive.

Forget that. We can control Medicare spending while leaving the program’s basic guarantees intact — but only if there’s more, not less, government intervention. (Taxpayers footing the bills should also have the right to monitor how their money is being spent.) Under the current Medicare setup, government pays then lets private entities do much as they please.

That bad combo underlies the Republicans’ Medicare drug benefit — a huge giveaway to private insurers and the pharmaceutical industry. The law forbids Medicare to negotiate prices for drugs.

That’s partly why Medicare pays 40-percent more for medicines than does the Department of Veterans Affairs, which does bargain on price.

Who’s paying for that differential?

Patients and taxpayers.

America spends twice as much per capita for health care as the rich-country average, while leaving millions of people uninsured and underinsured. We are talking

here about rich countries that don’t skimp on deluxe care and whose doctors make good money. Think of how our overspending on health care has burdened patients, taxpayers and employers.

Clearly, a lighter government hand in health care does not translate into savings for ordinary people. Bruce Bartlett, an economist who worked in the Reagan administration, did some numbers and found this: In other rich countries, the government pays an average 72-percent of all health care costs. In the United States, it pays 46.5-percent but limits subsidized coverage mainly to the poor, the elderly and disabled. The rest of us pay for health coverage through lower pay (as our employers deduct the cost of our medical plans from our paychecks) or directly out of pocket.

“In short,” Bartlett concludes, “a substantial portion of the higher tax burden that Europeans pay is really illusory. They are really just paying their health insurance premiums through their taxes rather than through lower wages, as we do.”

Many of us — we in the mirror — don’t appreciate this point. When we count pennies at the end of the month, it shouldn’t matter whether those spent on health care came out of our taxes or out of pocket. If government did its bit to cut wasteful spending, we’d have more pennies.

Many ideologues regard unfettered free markets as a religion, so practical considerations don’t count.

Under that mindset, we should take the government out of health care altogether and let consumers of all ages deal directly with the medicalindustrial complex. Millions would suffer or die prematurely because they were unlucky in business or health — or simply outlived their savings — but too bad.

The only serious cost-cutting alternative to the free-market jungle is letting government put more order into American health care. Take your pick.

All that good food gone to waste; little wonder Americans so hated To the editor, 99 Restaurant was in the news for making a record setting 4,000-pound nacho salad. It was not edible because of the conditions in which it was made. This would have been a much better record if the public, the poor and the hungry could enjoy it. This was all wasted to set a record. Shame on you 99.

This can only happen in America because we are the most wasteful people on the planet. We are 5-percent of the world population and somehow

gobble up 25-percent of fossil fuel resources annually. It is little wonder why Americans are hated globally. It am amuses me when a silly driver needs to speed up and pass me at a set of lights only to cut me off and turn a few blocks up.

Keep the peddle to the metal. We are Americans; no waste is too much for us. Just look at the national budget.

Americans love to be # 1.

LETTERS If left wants to be fair they should look at George Soros’ money To the editor, Watching and reading the news from the left’s perspective this past week has been good for many laughs; we should thank them for the humorous additions to this paper too. I can’t single out any one or two sources because they are all pretty silly.

It seems to the left that the antiWall Street mobs are somehow akin to the Tea Party but I fail to see much resemblance. Tea Party rallies have been universally peaceful with a clear message of smaller government and less spending. It’s not clear what the AWS gangs want other then money handed down to them so they can loiter around and demonstrate for more of the same. Tea Party’s are self funding by grass roots contributions where as it has been revealed that union’s are sending organizers in to help and reported adds in Craig’s List advertise for paid demonstrators.

Are we going to be treated to Nancy Pelosi tearfully cautioning us of impending risk of violence from these groups? Not holding my breath!

Seems around a hundred arrests were made down in Boston yesterday, now that goes with, how many in N.Y. City? Well, seems it’s fine when the left does it but those on the right just

better watch their steps.

I read here in this paper on October 11 that a movie is out claiming Tea Party’s are funded by the Koch brothers. Really? And what independent trustworthy source does that come from I wonder? Another Michael Moore wannabe? Please, if the left wanted to pretend to be fair and honest the first thing they would do is denounce the millions George Soros spends funding all the dishonest groups like moveon.com, Kos, and the rest. If their justification for him is comparing him to the Koch’s then it’s a really bad comparison. As far as anyone can determine the brothers are honest hard working people who earned their money without breaking any rules. George, on the other hand is a felon convicted in France of insider trading. He got some bad news this week that he has lost his appeal, again. How many poor French families did his crime destroy I wonder?

Guess that doesn’t matter to those on the left as long as he pours out the cash to them. After all, any means justifies the ends. Isn’t that just the philosophy people should pass down to future generations?

Pouring rain couldn’t stop 24th Chowder Festival from greatness To the editor, On behalf of the entire 98.3 LNH Team and Nassau Broadcasting we would like to thank the community and the City of Laconia for a terrific 24th annual Chowder Festival presented by Northway Bank. In what can only be described as a torrential downpour, over 700 area residents came out for some incredible chowder along with fun and games with vendors, exhibitors and of course inside at Funspot on October 2nd.

Each participant was able to sample chowder from The Wine’ing Butcher (who won the honor of Best Chowder of 2011), Kitchen Cravings, Heat Restaurant, Mountain Club at Loon, T-Bones, and the New Hampshire Humane Society of the Lakes Region, and attendees received a $10 Funspot token card just for joining us at the event. The coloring contest sponsored

by Northway Bank and the Weirs Times was a huge hit with the kids

as was the Granite State Zoo’s exotic African Serval cat, along with several other animals, and educational displays, plus a 15 pound tortoise that looked like it was made of plastic until it moved, surprising many!

Many thanks go out to each of our participating restaurants, vendors, and to Funspot for being such gracious and generous hosts. Events like this are only possible with great partners, and a great community. It was wonderful to see that they didn’t let a little rain get in the way of a great time. Net proceeds will be used to assist The Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society and The Lakes Region Conservation Trust. 98.3 LNH and Nassau Broadcasting have a proud history of serving the community and we appreciate your support and enjoyment of this and other award-winning events now and in years to come.

LETTERS Strength of radio signal coming from smart meters is very low To the editor, Recent letters to the editor have raised questions about the safety and intent of so-called Smart Grid technology. I feel it’s important to address these questions as they relate to New Hampshire Electric Co-op’s ongoing effort to install smart meters in its service territory.

Between now and the end of 2012, every co-op member will be receiving a new meter that contains a small, one-quarter-watt radio transmitter.

Instead of a meter reader visiting your property once a month to record your electric usage, your new meter will be reporting its readings several times a day via a wireless communications network.

A letter writer indicates that these emissions are harmful to human health. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. Co-op members should know that their new meters are reporting readings seven to 10 times per day. Each transmission is approximately 1.5 seconds in duration, meaning your meter will be transmitting a total of 15 seconds per day. The strength of the radio signal is very low. In fact, emissions from a smart meter are only about one onethousandth the strength of a typical cell phone.

There is no shortage of information online about smart meters. Unfortunately, much of it is misleading and some of it is just plain wrong. While some stoke fears of a government conspiracy, others seek to profit from people’s fears to sell supposed remedies. The fact is, no reputable, nonpartisan study of the technology (and there have been many) have found any harmful effects of smart meter technology. Just this year, the California Council on Science & Technology released a study that found RF emissions from smart meters are

“well below the threshold” for harmful effects as established by the Federal Communications Commission. Additionally, the study found, “There is no evidence that additional standards are needed to protect the public from smart meters.”

A letter writer also states that smart meters are monitoring consumers, appliances and electric usage in order to force a change in consumer behavior. For starters, the new meters being installed in co-op service territory do no more than what your old meter had been doing – recording the amount of electricity you use. This is the job of an electric meter. It is the only way the electric company can bill you for the power you use. As for the implication that smart meters somehow allow the electric utility to spy on you or otherwise monitor your behavior, this is absolutely false. The information coming from your smart meter consists of voltage and wattage used. No more, no less. It does not (and cannot), for instance, tell when you’re using your vacuum cleaner or your electric tooth brush. There is no physical way for the co-op to remotely adjust your electric usage or your appliances.

The real intent of NHEC’s smart meter conversion is to offer members a much more detailed look at their electric consumption. What you do with that information is entirely up to you.

If you take steps to conserve energy, that’s great. If not, you should know that NHEC’s smart meter project will not impose on your health or habits in any way. I encourage you to learn more about the smart meter conversion and how it can empower you to save energy and money at www.nhec. coop/AMI.

Lots of people to thank for success of Caregiver’s mini-golf tourney To the editor, Paradise Falls Mini Golf, Route #109 in Moultonborough hosted the First Annual Family Mini Golf Tournament to benefit CHMM Community Caregivers on Saturday, Sept. 10.

Eighteen teams (108 players of all ages) enjoyed a fun filled family event complete with prizes, awards, team photos, and the mouth watering temptation of a Ben & Jerry’s Sundae Bar with all the fixings.

Fun for all while helping others. What a great combination!

Shep Brown’s Boat Basin, local family business, was the lead tournament sponsor. Owners Bill Littlefield and Charity Mc Donald joined with FOOD from preceding page rible waste of food and time. I hope that a 99 manager should read this. If you should be a 99 employee, no fault to you but please, clip this and leave it on a manager desk.

I enjoy boat building (small ones). If 99 can do this, I guess I could build a boat in record time and it would not even have to float. Keep your foot on the gas, the Arabs love to spend our money.

MEREDITH — Briefing the Inter-Lakes School Board on the district’s enrollment figures as of October 1, Superintendent Phil McCormack said last night that the trend of a slowly shrinking student body hasn’t abated.

“There were no surprises,” he said. “We continue with that very gradual decline.” Figures he presented showed a district-wide enrollment on October 1, 2007 of 1,199 students. That figure slowly eroded each year to the current count of 1,135.

Taking a closer look at enrollment across grade levels, McCormack noted that numbers in the elementary grades have “stabilized” and even grown.

Both Inter-Lakes Elementary and Sandwich Central School show more students now than they did five years ago. Still, he said, the largest grade at Inter-Lakes Elementary is the current second grade, which has 81 students. McCormack said it was not too many years ago that school averaged nearly 100 students per grade. He predicted a “significantly smaller enrollment at the high school” in the foreseeable future.

agreed that the New England Common Assessment tests, which the district is compelled to administer to prove whether or not it has made “adequate yearly progress” as determined by federal regulations, is more onerous and less useful than the optional Northwest Evaluation Association tests, which take a third as much of a student’s time and produce near-immediate and very accurate data of student learning. . . . . .

of the other committee members voiced an opinion.

Additional concerns center around the flow of traffic and school buses.

Boudreau said the goal is to eliminate as much bus traffic from student walking routes as possible.

He showed the committee a proposed bus route that would eliminate the circular drop-off on Union Avenue and route all bus traffic one-way behind the existing school from Union Avenue and out Dewey Street — with two separate bus drop-off spots — one for the High School and one for the Huot Center.

His initial proposal also called for a parent drop-off area on the southernmost expanded Union Avenue parking lot.

School Board member Beth Arsenault expressed some concerns that traffic would be overly congested by exiting solely on to Gilford Avenue, an exit that is already problematic.

The new Huot Center will have also have its own entrance on Dewey Street and plans on incorporating a culinary program that will be available to the general public as well as a day-care center.

Last night’s parking proposal is to have student parking near those entrances on Dewey Street but Arsenault said she had some concerns with limited see next page

Pair of young Laconia men charged with using BB-gun to rob alleged Rx dealer

BY MICHAEL KITCH

LACONIA — After an alleged drug deal went awry and the buyer brandished an air pistol (BB-gun) on Messer Street early Tuesday morning two local men found themselves in court facing felony charges of armed robbery.

Jamie Clark, 22, and Randall Cross, 21, who both reside at 114 Messer Street in separate apartments, were held in Belknap County Jail in lieu of cash bail following their arraignment in 4th Circuit District Court yesterday.

Clark was charged with armed robbery and falsifying evidence, both class B felonies, and his bail set at $10,000 personal recognizance and $5,000 cash.

Cross was charged as accomplice to armed robbery and with falsifying evidence and his bail set at $10,000 personal recognizance and $2,500 cash.

Following his arrest Clark is said to have told police that earlier in the night he had arranged to buy drugs from Charles Morin, 25, of 981 North Main Street. Apparently Morin went to Clark’s apartment where the deal turned sour.

According to police, shortly after 2 a.m. officers were sent to 114 Messer Street after dispatch received a 911 call during which a voice was heard ordering someone “back” and a man said he did not want trouble. In his affidavit, Officer Derek Gray reported that as he turned on to Messer Street from Church Street, he was advised

that someone was armed with a handgun and holding another at gunpoint.

When Gray’s spot light fell on two men near the intersection of Messer Street and Oak Street, one, who was subsequently identified as Clark, fled across the street and hid behind a shrub. Gray turned his lights on Clark, who stepped from behind the shrub and was taken into custody.

Meanwhile, Sergeant Michael Finogle reported that he was holding another man, later identified as Cross, at gunpoint at the intersection.

Finogle said that Cross had taken a gun from his waistband and thrown it to the ground. After taking Cross into custody, Gray returned to where Clark was hiding to find a pink bag containing drug paraphernalia and prescription pills. Police say Morin’s name was on a bottle containing the pills.

Morin told police that he was approached by Clark and Cross.

Clark, he claimed, pointed the gun at him then gave it Cross. Cross told police that Clark had asked for the gun, saying he was going threaten Morin, and acknowledged he gave it to him. Clark told Gray that he planned to buy drugs from Morin and, when Morin refused to leave his apartment, asked Cross for the gun and threatened Morin, who gave him the bag with the drugs. Once Clark had the drugs, he returned the gun to Cross.

Clark and Cross are scheduled to appear in court for a probable cause hearing on October 20.

Cormier asked the engineers to revisit the traffic flow before the next meeting, a date for which has not been set.

“I don’t think we’ve nailed the traffic flow yet,” he said.

Cormier also asked committee members to begin thinking about meeting every two weeks instead of monthly because of the accelerated pace of the design team and the number of decisions regarding materials and design that need to be made.

PROTEST from page 2 York’s 2 percent “millionaires’ tax” in December.

“I have nothing against these people personally. I just think they should pay their fair share of taxes,” said Michael Pollack, an office worker in a law firm.

He held up a sign with a saying attributed to department store founder Edward Filene, “Why shouldn’t the American people take half my money from me? I took all of it from them.”

Pollack said: “It’s time for a new New Deal.”

For the past 3½ weeks, protesters have besieged a park in lower Manhattan near Wall Street, denouncing corporate greed and the gap between rich and poor. The uptown march marked the first time the Occupy Wall Street movement has identified specific people as being part of the 1 percent the demonstrators say are getting rich at the expense of the rest of America.

When the march reached Park Avenue and East 93rd Street, protesters stopped in front of a building where they said Dimon, JPMorgan Chase’s chairman and CEO, has an apartment.

Marchers screamed, “Where’s our bailout?” and “How do we end this deficit?

End the war, tax the rich!”

JPMorgan was among the banks that received a federal bailout, money it has since repaid.

Dimon got supportive words Monday from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is himself a billionaire executive but whose East Side townhouse was not on the protesters’ list of targets.

Dimon has “brought more business to this city than maybe any other banker in (the) modern day,” the mayor said. “To go and picket him, I don’t know what that achieves. Jamie Dimon’s an honorable person working very hard. He pays his taxes.”

On Wednesday, Dimon was to be the focus of another protest, with demonstrators gathering at the New York City headquarters of JP Morgan Chase to again focus on the expiring tax.

Marcher Bahran Admadi, a former taxi driver and art dealer who is now unemployed, said he has “nothing personal” against the rich. “But some of them take people’s blood,” he said. “Everything goes up the ladder while we work harder and harder.”

Outside one building, protesters placed a giant replica of a check against the door. It was made out to “The top one percent” for $5 billion — the size of the impending state tax cut for New Yorkers making $250,000 and more.

Council approves ward redistricting plan; voters will have the final say

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — The City Council last night unanimously approved the ward redistricting plan recommended by its Government Operations Subcommittee.

The federal and state constitutions require that the boundaries of all federal, state and municipal electoral districts be redrawn every 10 years to comply as closely as possible with with the principle of “one man, one vote” in light of population changes reported by the United States Census.

The population of Laconia fell from 16,541 in 2000 to 15,951, a drop of 3-percent, reducing the ideal size of each of the six wards from 2,756 to 2,659. Since the 2010 populations of wards 2, 4, 5 and 6 , as currently drawn, fall between three-percent above and one-percent below the ideal, their boundaries required no change. However, with 2,955 people ward 1 was 11-percent above the ideal and with 2,304 people ward 3 was 13-percent below it.

City Manager Scott Myers said that because adjustments were required to only two of the six wards and the two abutted one another, the redistricting process was relatively straightforward.

The plan adds both a teardrop described by the land between North Main Street and Old North Main Street and the southernmost reach of Ward 1 between Folsom Street on

the south, Lewis Street on the north, Pleasant Street to the west and Edgewater Avenue to the east, to Ward 3.

Although 283 people would be moved from one ward to another, all six wards would be within three-percent — plus or minus — of the ideal.

The plan, in the form of an amendment to the City Charter, will be presented to voters on a separate ballot when they go to the polls in New Hampshire’s First-in-the-Nation Presidential Primary, for which the date has yet to be determined.

NOTES: City Manager Scott Meyers reported that the value of new construction, represented by the difference between the value of building and demolition permits, through the first six months of the tax year was $10.4-million, more than the $8.4-million posted in 2010, but less than the $11.3-million posted in 2009. Together with the rate of inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index, the value of new construction multiplied by the current tax rate is used to calculate the limits of the tax cap. . . . . . Meyers also reported that welfare expenditures during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending in September amounted to $21,000, ahead of the pace of last year when annual expenses totaled $41,000. . . . . . The charette on the future of Wyatt Park will be held this evening at the Community Center beginning at 6:30 p.m.

GILFORD from page one Murphy questioned the value of retaining membership in the Lakes Region Planning Commission and paying annual dues of $8,300, but aside from a few questions about small line items like gasoline and postage, there were no recommended subcommittee changes.

During last year’s budget deliberations, some members of the committee also questioned the value of the regional planning commission, but, after a presentation by LRPC Director Kimon Koulet, ultimately voted to include it in their budget.

Town Planning Director John Ayers said he would extend a similar request to Koulet to join a Budget Committee meeting this year and members of the subcommittee said a presentation would be beneficial because there were new members.

Murphy suggested the Budget Committee reduce the dollar amount of the membership and give the reduced number to the LRPC as an ultimatum, but Dormody said he thought

that would spread the costs on to other communities and Ayers said he believed the dues, determined by the number of communities and a community’s population, to be a “take it or leave it” proposition.

Selectmen have requested a budget that would save about $14,000 over last year. It eliminates the position of a full-time technical assistant and reduces the position to 20 hours weekly with no benefits.

Although Ayers was not directly asked by members of the subcommittee how the cut would effect his department, he said that one of the key roles played by the technical assistant is advising the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Adjustment, and the Conservation Commission and those duties alone consists of five meetings a month.

He said the difference in the way his department runs “is noticeable” without the full-time secretary position that was eliminated last year but was not asked yesterday to address the most recent proposed cut.

ROMNEY from page one Christie also addressed what’s perhaps Romney’s biggest vulnerability — the Massachusetts health care measure that he signed into law and that was a model for Obama’s nationwide measure that conservatives detest.

The New Jersey governor said it was “completely intellectually dishonest” to link Romney’s measure with Obama’s. And Christie added of Romney: “I’m proud of him for doing what he thought was right” on health care in Massachusetts.

Romney, in turn, called Christie a

“hero” because of his record of cutting government spending as governor of New Jersey.

Christie has closer ties to the former Massachusetts governor than to other candidates. Romney endorsed Christie when the former U.S. attorney ran for governor in 2009. And in January, he became the first Republican presidential contender to visit Christie at the governor’s mansion in Princeton.

Christie’s financial supporters had been waiting for him to decide before backing a different candidate.

Donation of iron gate latest step forward in restoration of Gilford’s oldest cemetery

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — This town’s oldest burial ground, the Weeks Cemetery on Hoyt Road, was virtually invisible to passersby three years ago, hidden by dense brush along the road and an embankment leading to it overgrown with trees.

The cemetery itself was filled with toppled and half buried headstones and grave and row markers, many no longer located in their original positions.

Today, thanks to the hard work of the town’s cemetery trustees and the grounds crew, what was once a hilltop cemetery with a panoramic view of the farms and fields below and of the surrounding mountains, is being painstakingly restored.

Located on the upper end of Hoyt Road, about a quarter of a mile below its’ intersection with Belknap Mountain Road, the cemetery contains the grave sites of many of the first settlers of what

was then the Gunstock Parish section of Gilmanton, which wouldn’t officially become Gilford until 1812.

Dee Chitty, cemetery trustee, says that it wasn’t until the brush was cleared out that the granite pillars at the entryway to the cemetery became visible. And it wasn’t until after the trees along the embankment were removed, revealing an angled hillside carriage pathway, that it was known how the caskets were brought up to the burial ground.

Among the graves there are one of a Thomas Saltmarsh, believed to be that of the same Thomas Saltmarsh who was one of the original three selectmen elected in 1812, when Gilford broke away from Gilmanton.

The oldest grave marker yet identified in the cemetery is that of Thomas Sibley, who was buried in 1794 and was 16. Another, that of Sarah Weeks, shows that she died in 1799 at the age of 83.

Local officials now confident EPA will pick up tab for environmental assessment of part of state school property

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — After touring the site of the former Laconia State School last week, officials of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) all but assured the city of funding to conduct an environmental assessment of a significant portion of the property.

“It was a great meeting,” said City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), who, together with Mayor Mike Seymour, City Manager Scott Myers, Planning Director Shanna Saunders and State Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith) met with Alan Peterson, Brownfields Project Officer in the EPA’s Boston office.

The EPA’s Brownfields program provides funding for the assessment, remediation and redevelopment of properties blighted by contamination.

The state has offered the property to the city at a reserve price of $10-million. The site consists of three large segments: the 77 acres bounded by North Main Street, Meredith Center Road and Right Way Path; the 60 acres known as Risley Field, which the city leases from the state to provide parking for the Robbie Mills Sports Complex; and the 75 acres, where most of the 26 buildings stand.

An initial, or Level 1, assessment of the site by Credere, LLC of Westbrook, Maine in 2010 indicated that there were typical but significant environmental concerns, most of them confined to the 75 acres housing the buildings. Soils and groundwater are likely contaminated by petroleum products and possibly other hazardous materials while asbestos, lead paint and other contaminants are present in the buildings. Credere reported that a thorough investigation — called a Level 2 assessment — estimated to cost from $200,000 to $300,000, was required to determine the extent and cost remedial action of necessary remedial measures.

Saunders said that Peterson recommended the city apply for a Brownfields grant for a Level 2 assessment of an 11-acre portion of the larger 75-acre tract that houses the Toll Building and four nearby buildings, all constructed between 1910 and 1950, where many of the environmental issues were identified. Saunders said that he indicated that the from preceding page Village area and of the farms all around. The land was all cleared at that time and there weren’t a lot of trees obstructing the view,’’ said Chitty, as she talked at a brief ceremony Tuesday morning at which half of a new wrought iron gate made by Ray Haidichuk of Cherry Valley Road was unveiled.

EPA was unlikely to fund a Level 2 assessment of the entire site or even the 75 acres and suggested targeting the area with the most potential for redevelopment. The cluster of buildings, she said, could serve as a small office park.

Lahey said that the environmental assessment of this portion of the site would offer an indication of its value and, by extension, of the entire 75 acres, which in turn could affect the ultimate price of the property to the city.

Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic Research appraised the 77 acres north of Right Way Path and Risley Field for the city. However, he did not appraise the value of the remaining acreage and the buildings, in part because of the unknown extent of the environmental contamination and cost of addressing it.

Thibeault placed the value of the 77 acres at $676,200 and the value of Risley Field at $396,000, for a total of $1,063,200. He noted that if an equivalent land value of $6,100 per acre were applied to the remaining 75 acres, discarding the value of the buildings, the total value of the entire site would approach $1.5-million. This is slightly less than the $1.7-million assessed land value carried by the city and far short of the $10-million reserve price set by the Legislature.

The 2012-2013 state capital budget includes $300,000 for a more thorough environmental assessment of the site. However, Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has expressed a reluctance to invest in the property, preferring to transfer responsibility for environmental remediation to the city with the property. Lahey said that Forrester, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, offered to raise the question of a state contribution to the environmental assessment with Morse.

Meanwhile, the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services has begun subdividing the site, where the Department of Safety will continue to operate the 911 Call Center the state will retain the Dwinell Building once Lakes Region Community Services moves to the Federal Building downtown.

The state is also appraising the entire property.

Chitty said that the hard work by the cemetery grounds staff, Rick Mini and Eric Mayhew, can now be seen by visitors to the cemetery, “Their hard work and pride definitely shows. They continue to climb the endless hurdles that face them while carefully resetting some of the older stones,’’ she said, noting that Alex Denver has shown up to help them lift the heavy stones.

Judy Cott, vice chair of the cemetery trustees, said that the town has more than 20 old public cemeteries and that the Weeks cemetery was rated a priority for restoration work due to its poor condition and the fact that it is the oldest in town, older even than one on Lake Shore Road which had been believed to be the oldest.

Haidichuk, a retired pipe fitter from Boston, said that he has taken up wrought iron work in recent years and that he wanted to create something which had a traditional cemetery gate look, with weeping willows and cat tails as part of the design.

“The people who help out doing the restoration work in the cemeteries are the real story here. There’s no reward in doing that. I hope people appreciate what they’re doing,” he said.

PAWN from page one Council approved an ordinance authorizing the License Board to license pawnbrokers as well as prescribing a licensing procedure and setting a licensing fee. When the council considered the ordinance Captain Steve Clarke of the Police Department explained that all pawnshops and second-hand stores were required to provide the police with an inventory of items either purchased or pawned on a regular basis and to hold the items for 14 days.

He explained that the detectives and patrol officers compared the list to items reported stolen in order to

further their investigations and recover stolen property. He emphasized that the licensing requirement had no bearing on the reporting procedure.

During the discussion Alexander expressed concern that if pawnbrokers unknowingly and unintentionally failed to report a stolen item they would be at risk of losing their license while the same standard would not apply to second-hand stores, which are not licensed. He suggested that the same licensing requirements should apply to both pawnbrokers and second-hand dealers.

GOP from page 3 zing other contenders.

Romney’s strategy might carry some risks in a Republican primary process that’s dominated by staunch conservatives, especially in the early voting states of Iowa and South Carolina. The Wall Street bailout is a sore point with many such voters.

But Romney seemed to sail through the debate largely unscathed, with Cain and Perry scoring few direct hits. The sharpest criticism of his bailout remarks came from former Sen. Rick Santorum, who lags in the polls.

Romney said no one likes the idea of bailing out big Wall Street firms. However, he said, many of the actions taken in 2008 and 2009 were needed to keep the dollar’s value from plummeting and “to make sure that we didn’t all lose our jobs.” The nation was on a precipice, Romney said, “and we could have had a complete meltdown.”

Romney, however, said he disagreed with Obama’s actions to shore up General Motors and Chrysler.

The administration says the moves were highly successful and much of the federal money has been repaid.

Romney said he would work with “good” Democrats to lead the country out of economic crisis. He said that’s what he did as Massachusetts governor and what he would do if he wins the White House.

Perry was not asked about the bailouts, but his campaign distributed his past statements saying “government should not be in the business of using taxpayer dollars to bail out corporate America.”

Perry said the government must open the way for more production of domestic energy sources. The nation must “pull back those regulations that are strangling American entrepreneurship,” he said.

He pressed Romney on his decision as Massachusetts governor to require residents to obtain health insurance, a central component of Obama’s federal plan.

“I’m proud of the fact that we took on a major problem in my state,” Romney said. Eight percent of Massachusetts residents were uninsured, he said, and they took advantage of others who covered their

costs at emergency rooms.

Romney said Obama’s national plan differed from his state plan because Obama raised taxes and cut Medicare.

Romney then turned the issue against Perry. “We have the lowest number of kids who are uninsured of any state in America,” he said. “You have the highest” in Texas.

Given a chance to assail Wall Street, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann blamed too much regulation for the sluggish economy. She also said Obama wants to let Medicare collapse, pushing everyone into “Obamacare,” the health overhaul passed by congressional Democrats in 2010.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Americans have a right to be angry about the economy.

He said the solution is firing Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

When Cain praised former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan, Rep. Ron Paul retorted that Greenspan was “a disaster.” Paul, the most libertarian of the eight candidates, has called for eliminating the Federal Reserve.

For much of the debate, which focused solely on the economy, the candidates stuck to their economic messages and kept their criticism turned on Obama.

The verbal fistfights of the three previous debates didn’t occur Tuesday night, even though the first primaries and caucuses are less than 100 days away.

The question of the candidates’ religious affiliations, a hot topic in the past few days, came up only in a light-hearted way. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman joked that he wouldn’t raise the issue with Romney, a fellow Mormon.

“Sorry, Rick,” he said to Perry. A Perry supporter last week said that Mormons are not Christians.

Even when the candidates were given the chance to ask each other questions, the exchanges were cordial.

Three candidates in a row — Cain, Gingrich and Huntsman — directed their questions to Romney, underscoring his perch as the Republican to beat. In each case, Romney avoided appearing defensive or testy.

Epstein expected to leave Red Sox for Cubs BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein is likely to join the Chicago Cubs within the next 48 hours, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Tuesday night.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.

The Cubs fired general manager Jim Hendry on Aug. 19 and finished 71-91. They have been pursuing Epstein, who just finished his ninth season with Boston. The Red Sox missed the playoffs following a record collapse, going 7-20 in September and finishing at 90-72.

Epstein would be going to a Cubs franchise that hasn’t won the World Series since 1908. Boston hadn’t won a championship since 1918 until doing it in 2004, Epstein’s second year as general manager.

The Red Sox also won it all in 2007.

The Boston Herald first reported that Epstein “is on the cusp” of leaving the Red Sox for a position with the Cubs and that an announcement was expected within 24 to 48 hours.

Earlier, the Cubs declined to comment on the Herald report.

The 37-year-old Epstein has one year left on his contract with the Red Sox. There was no word on whether they were asking for compensation from the Cubs.

His expected departure would be the latest in the wake of Boston’s disastrous finish. On Sept. 30, two

days after the Red Sox were eliminated from playoff contention on the final day of the regular season, Terry Francona’s eight-year stint as manager ended.

The Red Sox had two years of options on Francona, but he said during a meeting the morning of Sept. 30 with Epstein and team owners John Henry and Tom Werner that he thought the club needed “a new voice” after problems arose in the clubhouse.

Through Sept. 3, the Red Sox held a nine-game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays for the AL wild card. The teams were tied in the standings going into the final day of the regular season. The Red Sox lost to Baltimore 4-3 a few minutes before the Rays beat the New York Yankees 8-7 in 12 innings to gain the playoff spot.

“This is one for the ages, isn’t it?” Epstein said moments after the Rays won.

No team has blown a bigger lead in September and missed the playoffs. Boston did not win consecutive games at any point in the month.

It was a startling fall for the Red Sox and Epstein, who attended Brookline High School close to Fenway Park and became baseball’s youngest general manager ever at 28 years, 11 months when he was appointed on Nov. 25, 2002.

But he’s been criticized for giving long-term, costly contracts to free agents J.D. Drew, John Lackey and Carl Crawford, none of whom came close to meeting expectations.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An image from long ago pops to mind.

Rest assured, you are stronger and wiser than you were when that happened. Should a similar scene ever occur, you would handle things much differently.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You have the confidence and energy to take on the activity you’ve been avoiding. Your mood will lighten immediately afterward. You’ll feel happy and relieved.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You are careful to include everyone who should be included in your projects and communications. This is no easy task, and it does require that you think things through and keep notes and a list.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your change will occur with practical action.

In other words, you’ll have to get on the plane to conquer a fear of flying, and getting fit requires that you adopt a different approach to eating.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re not obsessive by nature, but today a remarkably sticky thought comes to mind. Hopefully, it also happens to be bright and lovely -- worthy of your dwelling on it again and again.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 12). Your birthday releases you into a new stage of life. You’ll enjoy greater freedom and control over your environment. Your passions grow. January brings a roller coaster of lovely emotion. You’ll nab a prime position with perks in February.

Your good deed boomerangs in April.

Investments pay off nicely. Scorpio and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 1, 24, 10 and 39.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You like to tell the same story to different people and then note the various reactions you get. Those reactions tell more about the other person than they do about your story.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you’re not quite as accommodating as usual, it’s only because there are those around you who seem to be taking your good graces for granted. You’ll be inclined to withdraw so others understand the true value of your gifts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You learn the most by noting your mistakes, as uncomfortable as that may be. Privately review your missteps. You’ll discover a pattern -- one that can be easily broken.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your talent, good looks and drive are undeniable, and yet they will have no bearing on the outcome of the day’s events.

Your success will depend entirely on your ability to get along with others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are remarkably self-directed. It is very rare that you find yourself looking around and wondering what exactly to do with yourself. Rare, but it does happen, as you’ll note today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You simply cannot relate to something a person you love goes on and on (and on) about. Maybe you just don’t want to. Either way, you’ll love the messenger while you craftily dodge the message.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be drawn to artistic people, and you have a wonderful way of relating to them.

The kind of encouragement you offer will be like an energy drink for the soul.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 12, 2011— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Oct. 12, the 285th day of 2011. There are 80 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 12, 1492 (according to the Old Style calendar), Christopher Columbus arrived with his expedition in the present-day Bahamas.

Christian Scientist will explain power of prayer Sunday at Pease Public Library PLYMOUTH — International speaker Robin Hoagland will speak on the effectiveness and relevance of prayer in her own life on Sunday, October 16 at 4 p.m. at the Pease Public Library.

Hoagalnd says a spiritual commitment hasn’t always been easy for her.

In college, she developed a raised-eyebrow reputation as the only rugby Robin Hoagland player who didn’t drink.

What’s more, she treated her injuries and illnesses through prayer, which definitely set her apart. But she says she couldn’t turn away from the ideas in Christian Science that were healing her and had to keep exploring them.

She says it was well worth it. She was permanently cured of recurrent depression, overcame an eating disorder, gained confidence academically, and developed many rewarding relationships.

And while she had stints working in public radio, publishing, and as a freelance writer, she says she realized her true love was helping others through this

spiritual system of healing.

Being a part of the larger community has always been important to Hoagland. She’s coached youth soccer, visited shut-ins, and helped with outdoor worship services for the homeless. After Hurricane Katrina, her family took their hand tools and work clothes down to a hard-hit area and rolled up their sleeves for brush-clearing and salvage work. A few months later and a continent away, she sang hymns and prayed with a thriving congregation in the volatile Democratic Republic of Congo.

Heart and home are with her husband, son, and daughter on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where she practices and teaches Christian Science.

“In my talk, ‘How Prayer Meets Our Needs Today’, the audience will explore how prayer today (as in Biblical times) is able to bring needed changes to our lives, including the healing of incurable conditions and difficult relationships, as well as rebuilding communities,”says Hoagland.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 12, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband, “Fred,” is one of many siblings.

His mother passed away several years ago. Since her death, his father’s negative and controlling nature has become amplified. He is verbally abusive and would never consider professional help. Dad is in his early 80s, and Fred says he has always been this way.

Family gatherings are made miserable by his bullying and picking on whomever he chooses to torment. He twists any attempt to discuss it. He is never at fault, he’s “only kidding,” and the other person is simply weak.

In recent months, Dad has felt free to taunt our children, attempting to create competition between the grandkids by showering some with large gifts and teasing the others about their cousins’ good fortune. When confronted, he claims that some grandkids are more deserving than others. He blatantly favors his daughters and their families, taking them on lavish vacations, setting up education funds, etc. He categorically denies ever having mistreated his sons’ children, and the sisters believe their dad. They have excoriated Fred via e-mail.

Although we’ve tried to be a dutiful family, helping out when needed and entertaining the relatives on our fair share of holidays, my husband has said “enough.” Fred has chosen to avoid all family gatherings where Dad is present. He won’t subject our kids to the verbal and emotional abuse that he endured his whole life. For months, we have had little contact with Dad or with Fred’s sisters. My kids miss their cousins.

The last time I talked with Dad, he hung up on me. How can I bring peace to this fractured family and keep our children safe? -- Daughter-in-Law in Distress Dear Distress: There are some relationships you cannot fix, especially when the other party is not cooperative. Your first obligation is to protect your family from those who treat them terribly. If your husband needs to limit contact with his father

and sisters, please be supportive. You can try to get your children together with their cousins outside of family gatherings if their aunts are willing.

Dear Annie: At our recent wedding, we had 25 guests from the groom’s side of the family. Not one of them gave a gift. Is that normal? Should we mention it to the groom’s mother?

-- Just Wondering Dear Wondering: Please don’t. While it is customary for people who attend a wedding to give a gift, it is poor manners to demand one. And it is quite possible these guests will send something at a later date.

Dear Annie: I read your response to “Can’t Handle Bedbugs,” who was unwilling to see her mother-in-law because she feared contracting bedbugs.

My daughter had bedbugs. We spent $1,000 to exterminate her small two-bedroom apartment. I can only imagine the cost to exterminate a house. It also introduced dangerous chemicals into her home. In addition, we spent hundreds of dollars cleaning all of the clothing and linens in the apartment. Add to that another couple hundred dollars to purchase bedbug-proof covers for the bedding. We then spent $250 on a dog trained to check our house after our daughter visited to be sure she didn’t bring any of the critters home with her.

Add two weeks of lost wages (for me) and two weeks of lost schooling for my daughter while we dealt with this.

The cost was just part of it. We were “uninvited” to our friend’s Thanksgiving meal because she is phobic about bedbugs. The emotional, physical and psychological toll was unbelievable.

My advice to the daughter-in-law would be to meet Mom only in neutral territory and not let her into the house at all.
