Another chance to say ‘thanks’ to fallen Korean War hero

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — The day before Thanksgiving might be an unusual time to rededicate a rural traffic island. But for the dozens who gathered at the intersection in the heart of Meredith Center on Wednesday afternoon, it was the perfect opportunity to give thanks.

The re-dedication took place to resolve

a problem of history at small triangle of land located at the point where Corliss Hill Road and Livingston Road intersect with Meredith Center Road. A year ago, a tree had been taken down at that intersection for safety reasons. That tree had been planted years ago to honor the memory of Erwin C. Young, Jr., a man who spent much of his youth in Meredith Center and then volunteered to serve his country during

the Korean War, where he was killed in a mortar attack at the age of 19.

On Wednesday, during a ceremony that included Young’s siblings, a newly-planted tree was dedicated to his memory. At its base was placed a plaque engraved with his likeness and describing his service to his country.

The ceremony culminated an effort see MEREDITH CENTER page 12

Former S’ton woman starts serving long prison term for stealing from 90-year-old

CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire woman who stole more than half a million dollars from an elderly friend will spend 10 to 30 years behind bars.

F i f t y - s i x - y e a r- o l d Karen Gagne of Andover — formerly of Sanbornton — was convicted in August of stealing the money from Jane Fair of Concord between 2007 and 2009. Fair was nearly 90 at the time.

Prosecutors say the two were longtime friends. They say Fair let Gagne live in her home and put her in charge of paying her bills.

The sentencing judge Wednesday called Gagne a con artist who intentionally isolated Fair from friends and advisors.

Defense lawyers say Gagne did nothing wrong because she took the funds from a joint account.

Prosecutors say Gagne used the money to pay off her own debts and buy a home.

‘Gabby’ serves Thanksgiving meal at Arizona air base TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords helped serve a Thanksgiving meal to service members and retirees at a military base in her hometown of Tucson, Ariz.

Giffords arrived in the dining hall at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base at midday Thursday wearing a ball cap and an apron with her nickname of “Gabby” sewn on the front. She was accompanied by her retired astronaut husband, Mark Kelly, who also donned an apron.

Giffords used only her left hand as

she served, a sign that physical damage remains from the injuries she suffered when she was shot in January.

Kelly supported her from her left side as she worked the turkey station on the serving line. He served ham.

Afterward, she mingled with service members, exchanging pleasantries and mostly one word greetings and responses.

She did tell Airman 1st Class Millie Gray, of Kansas City, Mo., “Happy Thanksgiving, thank you for your service.”

Gray said she had intended to only grab a plate and head back to her dorm to eat, until she heard that Giffords was going to be there.

“She’s such an inspiration and her story is so inspirational, it really made me proud.

I felt very proud and very humble,” Gray said. “It just feels really good to see that she is out here supporting the troops, and just continuing to be an inspiration and a strong role model for Americans in general. see GABBY page 15

PHOENIX (AP) — A small airplane slammed into a sheer cliff in the mile-high mountains east of Phoenix and exploded, killing the six people onboard, including the pilot and his three young children who were to spend the Thanksgiving weekend with him, authorities said.

The body of one child was recovered and dozens of sheriff’s search and rescue personnel worked Thursday to recover the

remains of the other victims, said Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.

A search and rescue team was in the rugged Superstitions Mountains searching for three missing teenagers Wednesday evening and saw the explosion as the twinengine plane hit the cliff, Babeu said. The searchers found the teens, then went up the mountain to try to reach the crash site.

Ten deputies who spent the night on the

mountain were relieved by ten more early Thursday. They and dozens of volunteers began searching the crash site at first light. Video from news helicopters Thursday morning showed the wreckage strewn at the bottom of a blackened cliff.

The dead included the pilot and his three children, two boys and a girl ages 5 to 9, Babeu said. The father lives in Safford in see PLANE page 8

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s military rulers rejected protester demands for them to step down immediately and said Thursday they would start the first round of parliamentary elections on time next week despite serious unrest in Cairo and other cities.

The ruling military council insisted it is not the same as the old regime it replaced,

but the generals appear to be on much the same path that doomed Hosni Mubarak nine months ago — responding to the current crisis by delivering speeches seen as arrogant, mixing concessions with threats and using brutal force.

So far it’s working no better than it did under the former leader.

Protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, seething over the military’s perceived failings over the past nine months, say they will not leave the iconic plaza until the generals step down in favor of a civilian presidential council, a show of resolve similar to that which forced Mubarak to give see EGYPT page 12

Congressman Frank Guinta

We need bipartisan support to pass Balanced Budget Amendment The effort to restore responsibility to your government’s finances suffered a setback on Capitol Hill recently, and I want to make sure you know about it.

On November 18th, the House voted on House Joint Resolution 2, which proposed a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Before I explained what happened, let me give you a little background on how we got here.

Back in 1995, the House passed a Balanced Budget Amendment, only to have it fail in the Senate by a single vote.

In the 16 years since then, Congress kept spending more and more money and our national debt grew bigger and bigger. So big, in fact, that earlier this month the debt passed the $15-trillion dollar point.

How did we get there? Because Congress refused to stop spending beyond its means. Whenever it wanted to spend more money than it brought in, it simply borrowed the difference and kept writing checks.

And the national debt kept growing and growing. It has increased 34-percent since January 2009, the fastest increase in American history.

The situation is so serious, your federal government is now borrowing 42 cents of every dollar is spends.

A Balanced Budget Amendment is a simple, straightforward way to force Congress to finally live within its means. H.J.Res. 2 would have required Congress to not spend more money than it collects in revenues, unless it got approval by a “super majority” of three-fifths votes in both the House and Senate. It also would have required the president to submit a Balanced Budget to Congress each year. Sounds like a practical solution to this problem, right? That’s why I voted for this important legislation.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t bipartisan support for it. Enough Democrats teamed up to keep it from getting the two-thirds majority needed to pass in the House. The Senate is set to vote

on a Balanced Budget Amendment proposal of its own before the end of the year. But with President Obama on record as opposing it, and the Senate’s Democratic leadership already speaking out against it, its chances don’t look very good.

While I’m always ready to work with any member on either side of the aisle to advance common goals, Democrats simply refuse to work with us on this issue. The spirit of bipartisanship that passed the Balanced Budget Amendment in the House in 1995 is gone now. The positions are clear and unmistakable: Republicans want to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to keep the U.S. from joining the ranks of nations whose out of control spending has pushing them to the edge of bankruptcy; Democrats refuse to budge from their “business as usual” attitude as a tidal wave of red ink threatens to wash over Capitol Hill.

Nearly 30 years ago, President Ronald Reagan said, “Only a constitutional amendment will do the job.

We’ve tried the carrot, and it failed.

With the stick of a Balanced Budget Amendment, we can stop government squandering, overtaxing ways, and save our economy.”

Congress failed to seize that opportunity in 1982. It failed to seize it again in 1995 by just one vote. If it fails to this last best chance to bring spending under control once and for all by finally passing a Balanced Budget Amendment, the consequences won’t be far behind, they will be brutally painful, and they will negatively reshape the America we hand over to our children and grandchildren.

I respectfully urge the Senate to act. Washington just can’t go on spending like there is no tomorrow.

‘Tomorrow’ is here, and it’s time Congress recognizes it and acts accordingly by passing a Balanced Budget Amendment.

(Manchester Republican Frank Guinta represents New Hampshire’s First Congressional District in Washington, D.C.)

Obama ‘saved’ auto industry? No, he destroyed dealerships To the editor, A fair reply to Jon Hoyt’s (Nov. 18) letter: Where did you get the strange idea that Obama “saved’ the auto industry? Obama ONLY destroyed dealerships that didn’t give him megabucks for his fake election!

From that false start you went downhill, negatively supporting overregulation (destruction of industry and JOBS), and unions, the MAIN cause for disputes and income unfairness. So WHY is it so bad to expect Congress to support our NEEDS for

oil recovery, nuclear power (the cleanest and safest), gas recovery and transport. Obama spent megabucks on failed solar panel company, which apparently channeled much of that back to Obama’s reelection!

Obama is not stupid! He knows how to steal more than any other politician, and is now acting as DICTATOR of the USA, and no one in Congress or the Justice Department has guts enough to counter him.

LETTERS Hillary shellacs all GOP presidential contenders in sample polling To the editor, A headline in Tuesday’s Daily Sun read that Romney would BEAT Obama by 10-percent if the election in N.H. were held today. What a difference 36 months makes. That is the exact amount Obama beat McCain by in 2008. The 2012 election is not going to be any cake walk for Obama as this headline clearly illustrates. His demonizing and dividing brand of politics has fallen into an abyss. This time he has to run on his failed record rather than cheaper by the dozen, audacious words.

The following, interesting story appeared in Monday’s Wall Street Journal and sums up Obama’s challenges. The op-ed was by two former DEMOCRATIC pollsters. One who worked for Jimmy Carter and one who worked for Bill Clinton. The two put forth a well thought out and moving article begging Obama to withdraw his candidacy for re election to a second term. Why? First: The only way Obama has ANY chance of winning is with a highly NEGATIVE, divisive, demonizing, scorched earth campaign that will do nothing but further divide this country, harming it’s chances to heal its wounds and impairing it’s ability to compete against other nations who are rapidly expanding and improving their productivity.

Second: The Democrats have an obligation to put forth the STRONGEST candidate it has who can win.

Much to contrary opinion that is NOT Barack Obama. It is Hillary Clinton. Hillary shellacs all Republican contenders in sample polling, including Romney by double digits, while Obama displays constant vulnerability as his job approval ratings for his handling of the economy remain in the mid 30s (loser territory). A slip back into recession here caused by a

any hiccup emanating from Europe could insure Obama’s defeat.

Third: Their request for Obama to withdraw was strictly for the SAKE OF THE COUNTRY. They agreed Obama still had a chance to win but they expressed total certainty it will be a DEATH WISH for America if he does. (Remember, these are DEMOCRATS TALKING). All we will get is more paralytic, totally dysfunctional, blame thrower government the same as we have experienced since his presidency began and has INCREASED double since Obama lost control of Congress. Further, there is a very real possibility Democrats could lose control of the Senate in 2012 given the fact they have TWICE as many seats to DEFEND as do Republicans. The pollsters were 100-percent certain a Clinton presidency offered far more opportunity to NEGOTIATE SOLUTIONS to the nations highly complex tax, spending, debt and deficit problems that seem bound in a Gordian knot. The last Clinton presidency illustrated far more centrist, common sense politics and superior negotiating skills that included total reform of the country’s welfare system, all while Republicans controlled congress. Some presidents have the skill and courage to negotiate and lead. OBAMA DOES NOT. I ask YOU. What does it say about Obama when such high standing people from his OWN PARTY are begging him to withdraw because his win ENSURES paralyzed, get nothing done government for four more years that will only endanger our credit rating leading to further down grades, much higher borrowing costs which increases our debt and impairs our ability to compete successfully in the world economy.

Yes, that thing on front lawn of our school is Tibetan prayer circle To the editor, You can no longer say Merry Christmas in school, but you can send your wishes to Buddha! Yes, that is what that “thing” is on the front lawn of the Gilmanton school, a Tibetan prayer circle. It’s original home was over at the GYRL, back when they were herding the children across the highway to beef up the usage numbers.

doesn’t fit the ambiance of the old barn.

Nonetheless, it stands with the wishes of students still praying for the wind to capture them and make them come true.

Perhaps taxpayers should add their own for some caution on spending this year and for the school administration to get a clue.

LETTERS Nothing wrong with being rich except the power to buy politicians To the editor, In his letter, “Bush didn’t blame Clinton for the dot.com crash he inherited”, Bob Meade complains about politicians making war within our borders. He is right about this being a war but he neglects to remind the public that it is mostly his side of the isle that has come charging in to undo the gains of the 20th century. War? Attacks on long fought for worker rights. Attacks on a woman’s right to choose. Ignorant theocratic attacks on gay rights. War? Police brutality against protesters, batonsa-smashing and tear gas canisters striking vets in the head. Pepper spraying seniors, a pregnant woman and kids sitting on the ground. War? Death threats to people collecting recall signatures. War? Challenging a senior in Wisconsin who was collecting signatures — to a fist fight in the woods! War? Pretending to be signing a recall petition, suddenly ripping it up and driving off. War? The destruction of the middle class and its social safety net. People should be careful what they start in America.

Then Mr Meade goes off on the usual Fake News talking point about blaming the rich. If one reads nothing but right wing talking points, one will be completely in the dark. If you listen to CATO, Rush, or Fox Snooze you will be brainwashed by all the orchestrated pathological lying. People are not blaming the rich for being rich.

What people are angry about is how wealth is used to influence our political system. It is not that people may be rich but what people and corporations are doing with the power they have with wealth. Money is political power in a corporatocracy; it destroys the “democratic republicanism” of a government for the people by the people.

With corporatism, whoever has the most money has the most influence on our government. Republicans worship at this altar. Getting rich is fine but using your wealth to buy lobbyists and politicians is morally wrong and undemocratic.

Mr. Meade then attempts to give us a lesson in history. The dot-com bubble and burst was caused by wildeyed, avarice filled Wall Street speculators. On top of this, “conservative think-tanks” (oxymoron!) and publications like Forbes urged people to buy without thoughtful restraint. People ignored both time tested investment strategies and the law. This is the power intoxicated whirling-dervish culture of Wall Street when it is

unregulated. Conservatives chanted buy, buy, buy, till ya die.

You may be wondering what the Smoot-Hawley Act was? Mr. Meade is using this example of government intervention as an example to prove intervention in economic matters is wrong-headed. Sometimes it is. What he fails to tell you is that this tariff act was Republican, isolationist, protectionist, and “pro-business”. Enacted in 1930, it fulfilled a campaign promise by Republican President Herbert Hoover to farms and industries. Like the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act of 1922, it was opposed by Democrats, progressives, and a few smart industrialists while it was supported by Republicans and conservatives. Not surprisingly, both Smoot and Hawley lost their re-election bids in 1932.

Combining Keynesian priming of the pump and the reduction of tariffs under the FDR administration, factory output returned to mid-1929 levels by 1937. The sudden downturn of 19371938 was caused by FDR’s caving in to conservatives to enact austerity measures and a more balanced budget.

It was too soon and caused a severe recession after unemployment had dropped from 25-percent to 14-percent. With another stimulus package in 1938, the nation emerged from that recession in a little over a year. One can only speculate what would have happened if we weren’t deceived by the Republican pro-business tariff acts and the conservative’s austerity measures of 1937. If you want to see what irresponsible austerity measures do to economies, look at Greece and Europe. Comparing Keynesian interventions with austerity measures or tariffs simply doesn’t work in this story.

The Bush economy was a false bottom, one destined to fail. It is not a coincidence that the two worst crashes since the Great Depression occurred due to Reagan and Bush II economic policies. Invading two countries while at the same time slashing revenue with irresponsible tax cuts, and enacting an unpaid for prescription drug act reaches the pinnacle of economic stupidity. Like the SmootHawley act, the Bush policies were in the end destructive and caused great pain. Now its payback time.

The next thing ya know, Mr. Meade will be telling us that pepper spray is a vegetable in children’s school lunch programs.

James Veverka Tilton

Less dogma & theater & more effort from our lawmakers, please To the editor, Today, I read about a group of our legislators attempting to obstruct the president’s name being placed on the N.H. Primary ballot. Two pages later there is a story about a local restaurant having to abandon using locally raised turkeys due to regulations.

So here we are with a problem involving local agriculture and local jobs and our local legislators are preoccupied with political theater and posturing.

It is exactly this kind of ridiculous,

ran for office on a platform of job creation and economic growth that creates voter outrage. These legislators mindlessly rant about lower taxes, less government, and blame everyone but themselves for the state of the economy, yet do nothing about solving problems.

We were better off with last session’s legislature.

Less dogma, less theater, and more effort, please. We don’t have time to waste on silly partisan agendas.

LETTERS Global warming is indeed coming but by increased solar activity To the editor, “And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which had power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.” (Revelation 16:9) There is much being discussed these days, in both the scientific literature and the popular press, on the issue of global warming. An increasing number of scientists and other intellectuals are insisting that the growing emission of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels is producing a significant warming of the whole planet, causing the melting of the polar glaciers and probably an alarming increase in catastrophic events such as hurricanes and perhaps even earthquakes and tsunamis.

On the other hand, many more conservatives scientists keep insisting that this is a cycle phenomenon, reminding us that it was not so long ago that we were being warned of an imminent ice age. Who can say for sure?

We do know, however, that a terri-

ble time of global warming is indeed coming but it will be mainly caused by increased solar activity, not carbon dioxide from auto- mobiles and coal plants. “The light of the sun will be sevenfold” (Isaiah 30:26). For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven” (Malachi 4:1).

In that day, the glaciers will indeed all melt and the resulting increase in seawater will certainly destroy the world’s great coastal cities. “And the Lord God of host is He... that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth” (Amos 9:5-6).

The context of such passages is the judgement of the last days (that could happen any time). But could the current warming phrase, hurricanes, tsunamis, ect., be a precrusive sign that the real thing is coming soon? In any case, our present response should surely not be what it will be in that day when “they repented not to give Him glory.”

To the editor, Reconsider the facts, Mr. Finn: the letter you referred to made some good points. The unanswered question is this: If the attack on the World Trade Center was an act of terror, and it certainly was, then how do you justify the United States military aircraft dropping bombs on Iraq! We complained to the UN about Iraq’s refusal to comply to inspections criteria. The UN agreed to give them more time, but we dissented and formed a committee to settle the problem. We stepped outside of the jurisdiction of the UN Charter (which we are a member of) and planned a military assault on that country.

Military action against Iraq was an illegal act in every respect; it is the same description as the terror attack on us! In the ensuing years of brutalizing the Iraqi people we killed 600,000 innocent civilians. Iraq never had nuclear weapons and we referenced our actions on the heroics of taking

out Sadden Hussein. We justified our assault on the basis of weak and phony information, which the lawyers in Washington had ample time to refute. The soldiers are blameless!

They did as they were commanded to do. We should apologize to our service men and women for this criminal act.

No doubt we are anxious to sweep this under the rug. Let’s forget the Iraqi people and their grief and suffering.

We have often saved people and nations from physical harm. We also showed the world our dark side. Contractors and industry leaders can and will determine our foreign policy based on their power and influence in Washington. This precedent is the most dangerous concession this government has made since the fatal Vietnam War. We must preserve our nation. Moral principle must be our only standard! God help the Iraqi people and the United States.

Catch 22; prosecutor argues if alleged cop-stalker is well enough to protest the terms of her release from psychiatric custody she’s now well enough to stand trial

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The woman who allegedly set fire to a trash can outside of the home of a local police officer in early September of 2009 appeared in court this week after being indicted for a second time for arson, criminal mischief and stalking.

Patricia Halsey-Carter, 43, of Concord is allegedly to have stalked the unidentified officer, left gifts at his home, and had been ordered by Judge Larry Smukler in Feb or 2009 to stay away from him.

The fire, which melted a trash can and charred the side of the garage, burned out on its own. The officer and his family were inside sleeping during the alleged arson attempt.

Halsey-Carter initially appeared in Laconia District Court in September of 2009 and was ordered held on $100,000 cash-only bail, but Laconia Prosecutor Jim Sawyer and the court agreed to reduce her bail to personal recognizance so she could go the from preceding page during our regular business hours. We ask that you please do not leave donations outside the door and DO NOT put clothing in the big yellow box, we do not have access to that box.

the N.H. State Psychiatric Hospital for evaluation and/ or treatment.

Indicted initially on November of 2009, the state dismissed the charges in January of 2011 without prejudice against Halsey-Carter after it was determined she was unfit to stand trial or assist in her own defense.

Patricia Halsey-Carter “Without prejudice” is a (Laconia Police photo) legal term that means the state can bring forward the criminal charges if new evidence or circumstances surrounding the initial dismissal change.

Halsey-Carter is now eligible for conditional release.

Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen re-presented the indictments to a second grand IW, NH 03837.

We are located on RT 140 in Gilmanton Iron Works, across from the Iron Works Market. We are open on Monday (9 a.m. – 1 p.m.), Wednesday (3 p.m.

jury in late September of this year because HalseyCarter filed a motion to restructure her final protective order, including a provision that she not enter Belknap County for any reason other than court purposes.

Guldbrandsen reasoned that if Halsey-Carter was sane enough to identify the legal challenges mandated by the court’s final protective order and assist her lawyer in challenging the order, then she is sane enough to stand trial for the crimes she is alleged to have committed.

“It’s kind of a legal Catch 22,” Guldbrandsen explained to Judge James O’Neill when, as expected, Halsey-Carter’s lawyer, Anne Jenness, asked that the court rule to hear arguments on Guldbransen’s second request for a competency hearing be held in chambers or in a closed courtroom.

Guldbrandsen, arguing for a public hearing, said there were two matters of law before O’Neill: one is the motion by Jenness to dismiss the case and the second was her request to order a second competency hearing to determine if Halsey-Carter can, in fact, stand trial.

She said that if the motion to dismiss is granted then the issue of competancy is moot.

Jenness said the issue of competency should be argued first followed by the motion to dismiss.

O’Neill ruled that Halsey-Carter and Jenness have until Monday at 4 p.m. to file a motion with him explaining why the matters should not continue in public view.

Moultonborough selectmen want Republicans & Democrats to get together on ed funding amendment MOULTONBOROUGH — With the N.H. House moving toward a November 30th vote on a constitutional amendment that would allow the state to target education aid to what supporters of the effort view as those communities most in need of assistance, the Selectboard here has urged the Special Committee on Education Funding Reform to “… continue their good faith effort to agree on the compromise language needed to bring this amendment before the public and obtain their consent in this coming election year.”

At present, the state is operating under guidelines established by the so-called Claremont decisions of the N.H. Supreme Court, whereby the state has a base obligation to support an “adequate” education in every community, regardless of perceived need.

The statewide property tax has been the funding mechanism used to meet that obligation. The amount of state aid considered “adequate” has been kept so low that, until recently, all monies raised by the statewide property tax have just remained in the communities that collected the taxes, for support of their own schools.

When the amount of money raised locally by the statewide property tax rate exceeds the “adequate” amount, the balance is, in effect, sent to Concord for

distribution elsewhere. That policy creates the socalled “donor town” effect that so sticks in the craw of property wealthy towns such as this one.

In a letter from Town Administrator Carter Terenzini, on behalf of a unanimous Selectboard, to the House chair of the Special Committee, he wrote, “While we recognize the basic philosophical differences between the parties – and will not weigh in on one specific plan – we also believe there is a common agreement that such an amendment is the right thing to do for the state, our communities and our children.”

Joel R. Mudgett, chairman of the Selectboard said, “Every decision we make is under the looming shadow of once again becoming a donor town. While a constitutional amendment like the one being discussed does not assure this threat goes away, we will never have a chance of being free of this threat without an amendment allowing targeted aid and as long as there is a statewide property tax.”

Mudgett asked all Moultonborough taxpayers to contact their representatives to urge them to find a way to put a Constitutional Amendment before the voters in 2012.

Once on the ballot an amendment to the state Constitution requires a two-third majority vote to be adopted.

Laconia’s much anticipated Christmas Village opens Dec. 1

By AdAm drApcho

LACONIA — For the 36th year, a team of volunteers has created “Christmas Village,” a scene straight from the North Pole, for the enjoyment of locals both young and old.

Armand Bolduc is one of the three men who has had a hand in the tradition every time it has been created at the city’s Community Center on Union Ave., said the village will be open to the general public on December 1 and 2 from 6 to 8 p.m. and from 2 to 5 p.m. on December 3 and 4. From 10 a.m. to noon on December 3, the doors will open exclusively for the elderly. And from 10 a.m. to noon on December 4, the village will be open for those with mobility challenges.

Bolduc said that Christmas Village is open free of

charge, with the only fee being $3 for those who wish to take home a photo with Santa. He said organizers estimate that upwards of 5,000 will visit the village each year.

Visitors to the village will enter through the Community Center’s basement, where the city’s police personnel have created an area for crafts and games.

Then guests will move upstairs, where they can have cookies and lemonade in the cafe, from where they can also take in the festive atmosphere. They will also visit Santa’s workshop, spend some time with Mr. Claus himself, then stop in with the Mrs. for a visit.

“I think it’s great for the kids, parents, grandparents, anyone who attends, it gives them the Christmas spirit,” said Bolduc. “It gets people all energized to go out and enjoy the holidays.”

It was very dark at the time and the plane missed clearing the peak by only several hundred feet. The aircraft slammed into an area of rugged peaks and outcroppings in the Superstition Mountains, 40 miles east of downtown Phoenix, at about 6:30 p.m.

Callers reported hearing an explosion near a peak known as the Flat Iron, close to Lost Dutchman State Park, Sheriff’s spokeswoman Angelique Graham said.

Witnesses reported a fireball and an explosion.

“I looked up and saw this fireball and it rose up,” Dave Dibble told KPHO-TV. “All of a sudden, boom.”

Peterson’s mark 25 year milestone as owners of Hector’s restaurant in downtown Laconia

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — While matches may be made in heaven some — like the long lasting marriage and thriving business partnership of Carl and Carla Peterson, who this month mark a quarter-century as proprietors of Hector’s Fine Food and Spirits — flourish in the kitchen.

“It has been a very nice 25 years,” Carla said.

“We’ve been very fortunate to have had wonderful employees and regular customers over all the years.”

Carla recalled that when she drove from Connecticut to join Carl in Laconia under a leaden sky and past bare trees on a cold, grey November day in 1986 “the tears started coming at Lake Winnisquam and I asked myself ‘what on earth have we done?’”

The couple’s coming to Laconia, said Carl, was “something of a fluke.” In Connecticut, both worked in restaurants. Carla managed at MacDonald’s

Eventually the two found themselves working not only at different places but also at different times.

“Carla was working nights and I was working days,” Carl said. “We had no family time. We were swapping our daughter in the parking lot.”

They decided to acquire a restaurant of their own and began looking around Connecticut. In the meantime, they visited Carl’s sister and her husband, who owned a home in Wolfeboro. “We happened to meet a lady selling real estate,” Carl said, “and asked ‘do you know of any restaurants?’”

“Downtown (Laconia) was thriving,” Carla remembered. “There was St. Pierre’s, now the Brickfront, but no Patrick’s, no Fratello’s. It was busy.” She said that they replaced the kitchen at Hector’s as well as see next page

Push to abolish gay marriage in N.H. puts presidential candidates to the test CONCORD (AP) — Whether they like it or not, Republican presidential candidates are joining New Hampshire’s intensifying gay marriage debate.

State lawmakers plan in the coming weeks to take up a measure to repeal the law allowing same-sex couples to wed and a vote is expected at some point in January — the same month as New Hampshire holds the nation’s first Republican presidential primary contest.

Already, candidates have been put on the spot over the divisive hotbutton social issue when most, if not all, would rather be talking about the economy, voters’ No. 1 concern.

The impending focus on gay marriage carries risk for several of White House contenders — including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Texas Gov.

Rick Perry and former businessman Herman Cain — whose inconsistencies on the topic are well documented.

The GOP candidates’ increasingly vocal support for “traditional marriage” also threatens to alienate a growing number of younger Republicans and independents here who support legal recognition of same-sex couples. That note of divisiveness could bode poorly for the eventual GOP nominee come the general election.

Even so, the Republican candidates aren’t shying away from the topic as they run for the nomination of a GOP dominated by conservatives and pushed further to the right by the tea party over the last few years.

“As conservatives, we believe in the sanctity of life, we believe in the sanctity of traditional marriage, and

from preceding page redecorated and refurbished the interior without radically reconfiguring or renaming the restaurant. Carl said that they were fortunate to “inherit” Peter Cullen, who after leaving for a brief spell returned and has remained in the kitchen ever since.

They traced their success and longevity to striking a fine balance between adapting to changing preferences of customers and maintaining a consistent quality of offerings. “When eating healthy became popular we introduced lots of salads and began cooking without trans-fats,” Carl said.

“We went to no smoking before the law was enacted,” added Carla, “and some of our customers have never come back.”

On the other other hand, she emphasized that with “the same people in the kitchen day and night for most of our 25 years we’ve maintained consistency.” Both said they have been fortunate to attract and retain excellent employees, among them Tracy, the daughter Carla drove north to visit years ago.

Carla, who relishes her role as hostess, said “I really like seeing our customers.” She said that she especially looked forward to Friday and Saturday nights, the busiest of the week, when “everybody knows everybody.

We have always tried to provide a place where anyone of any age can always feel comfortable,” she said.

The Petersons are proud of their many contributions to the community over the years. “We have a box of small treasures full of all sorts of clippings,” Carla said, noting that over the years they have regularly supported local charities with special events and gift coupons. Likewise, she said that as downtown merchants have faced the challenges of changing times “we have made every effort to support and patronize each other.”

On January 18 the Petersons will celebrate their anniversary by hosting an evening to benefit the Laconia Police Department’s effort to recruit a successor to Jago, the retiring K-9.

“Laconia has been good to us all these years,” Carla said, “and we want to celebrate by giving something back.”

I applaud those legislators in New Hampshire who are working to defend marriage between one man and one woman realizing that children need to be raised in a loving home by a mother and a father,” Perry told a New Hampshire audience recently, becoming the latest contender to address gay marriage directly.

While the issue hasn’t yet become a regular talking point on the campaign trail, most Republican candidates declare support for the effort to repeal the law. And groups like the National Organization for Marriage hope to force the presidential contenders to publicly embrace the repeal.

“We will be using all the tools at our disposal to lobby the New Hampshire legislature and the broader population,” said Christopher Plante, regional director for the National Organization for Marriage. “One of those tools is the echo chamber of presidential candidates continuing to show their support of marriage as defined by one man and one woman.”

Plante concedes that for some candidates, “there has been an evolution on a number of fronts” on this issue.

Romney was the Massachusetts governor when his state legalized gay marriage. The Romney administration, as directed by the courts, granted nearly 200 same-sex marriage requests for gay and lesbian couples in 2005.

Campaign spokesman Ryan Williams said the former governor had

little choice but to follow the state Supreme Court ruling at the time.

He noted his candidate’s consistent opposition to both civil unions and gay marriages, adding that Romney openly supports the New Hampshire repeal effort.

But Romney has reversed himself on whether gay marriage should be addressed at the state or federal level.

This past June, he said during a debate that he favors a federal constitutional amendment banning the practice. That’s been his position at least since the beginning of his 2008 presidential bid, when he was the only major Republican candidate to support such an amendment.

But as a Massachusetts Senate candidate back in 1994, Romney told a Boston-area gay newspaper that same-sex marriage is “a state issue as you know — the authorization of marriage on a same-sex basis falls under state jurisdiction.” Aides say it’s unfair to scrutinize Romney’s position in 1994 — when there was virtually no discussion of a federal amendment.

And they suggest Romney’s rivals have far more blatant inconsistencies in recent months.

Both Perry and Cain have drawn conservative criticism for recent comments related to gay marriage.

Asked in mid-October whether he supports a federal marriage amendment, Cain told the Christian Broadcasting Network that federal see next page

from preceding page legislation is necessary to protect traditional marriage. That seemed to be a direct contradiction from his statement of just six days earlier, when he told “Meet the Press” host David Gregory that states should be allowed to make up their own minds.

“I wouldn’t seek a constitutional ban for same sex marriage, but I am pro traditional marriage,” Cain told Gregory.

In Perry’s case, the Texas governor says he supports the New Hampshire repeal. But in July he said that New York’s move to legalize gay marriage was “fine by me.” A week later, facing social conservative criticism, he walked back the comments.

“It’s fine with me that the state is using their sovereign right to decide an issue. Obviously gay marriage is not fine with me,” he said then.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has another problem.

Earlier in the fall, he told an Iowa audience that gay marriage is a “temporary aberration” likely to go away because it defies convention. Gingrich, who has been married three times, has a half-sister in a same-sex marriage.

“The truth is that you’re living in a world that no longer exists,” Candace Gingrich-Jones wrote the former speaker in a letter posted on the Huffington Post in 2008: “In other words, stop being a hater, big bro.”

Despite the presidential candidates’ support for the New Hamp-

shire repeal, younger Republicans in this state are skeptical, especially as voters are focused on the economy.

“Why is the NH House wasting time trying to repeal gay marriage? Capital ugh,” Robert J. Johnson, chairman of the New Hampshire College Republicans, wrote on Twitter.

Polling suggests it may not be a winning issue.

A recent University of New Hampshire poll found that 62 percent of state residents oppose repealing the same-sex marriage law. And nationally, public opinion has gradually shifted toward supporting same-sex marriages, even among Republicans.

An August Associated PressNational Constitution Center poll found that 53 percent of Americans favor legal recognition of same-sex marriages; 32 percent of Republicans say same-sex couples should get some legal recognition from the government, compared with 71 percent among Democrats and 50 percent of independents.

Democrats hope to use the Republican contenders’ positions against them in the general election next fall.

“While these radical stances might win them a few votes in their primary, it will lose them the support of the majority Americans, and ultimately put them on the losing side of history,” said Ty Matsdorf, spokesman for American Bridge, an independent group aligned with Democrats.

MEREDITH CENTER from page one spearheaded by resident Holly Tetreault.

“Today we gather as a community to pay tribute to his and his family’s sacrifice and to say thank-you. You are not forgotten,” Tetreault said.

“My brother was three years younger than me, we grew up doing everything together,” said Joanne Berry, Young’s sister. She described her brother as a “mischievous little boy,” who despite his trouble-making was always “very thoughtful” and would never harm anyone.

Berry, a Sanbornton resident, said she wrote to Young every day that he was away at war. He had earned the right to leave the Korean peninsula and come home, but he elected to accompany his comrades on one last patrol, which saw them attacked by enemy mortars at a place known simply as Hill 181.

In his last letter to her, written a few days before his death, Berry said her brother wrote of the chance that he would lose his life. If that were to happen, he wrote, “Don’t grieve for me, I died for a cause I really and truly

believed in.” Berry said, “He’ll always be the love of my life and I will always keep his memory alive.” She expected her brother would be amused at the thought of such a fuss being made in his name.

Berry also read a poem she wrote for Young, which ended in the line, “I always will love you, my brother.”

Miller Lovett, a selectman for the town, closed the ceremony with the thought that the day could be considered an example of a glass that is both half-full and half-empty. On one hand, the occasion reminded those present about one of its own who had fallen in combat, and that his memory was nearly lost until the re-dedication was held. On the other hand, those that remembered his sacrifice were able to mount an effort to establish a renewed an improved memorial.

“We should also be mindful that each of us can give something,” said Lovett, such as love for one another.

After the ceremony, Berry said the event was “very touching. My brother was a very special person... We had such a happy childhood.”

EGYPT from page 2 up power in February after nearly three decades.

“What we want to hear is when they are leaving,” said Tahrir protester Khaled Mahmoud on hearing of an apology offered by the military for the deaths of nearly 40 protesters since Saturday. “The ouster of the marshal is only a matter of time,” he added referring to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, who was Mubarak’s defense minister for 20 years before he succeeded him in February.

“There will be no postponement in the election,” said Maj. Gen. Mamdouh Shaheen, one of two members of the ruling military council who spoke

at a televised news conference on Thursday. “The election will be held on time with all of its three stages on schedule.”

The two generals said the throngs in Tahrir do not represent the whole of Egypt and warned of chaos if the council was to immediately step down, language similar to Mubarak’s scaremongering while trying to cling to power in the face of the 18-day uprising against his rule.

The two generals — Shaheen and Maj. Gen. Mukhtar el-Malla — also said that parliamentary elections would start on time Monday and that a new prime minister to replace Essam see next page

All Brite-hosted bowling tourney raises $2k for Salvation Army food pantry

LACONIA — It’s just like bowling for dollars only in the case of All Brite Cleaning and Restoration, MB Tractors and Funspot, the dollars are for the food pantry at the Salvation Army.

The fundraiser, now in its second year, was held on Nov. 2 at Funspot and numerous area businesses either donated money, prizes or both, fielded 18 bowling teams and raised twice the amount accumulated last year.

This year the fundraiser garnered $2,011 dollars for the Salvation Army Food Pantry and kicks off All Brite’s from preceding page

Sharaf would be picked before the vote.

News reports that were not yet officially confirmed, said Kamal elGanzouri, who served as prime minister under Mubarak in the 1990s, has been approached by the military as a possible candidate for prime minister.

State television showed footage of elGanzouri meeting with Tantawi. If confirmed, el-Ganzouri would replace Essam Sharaf whose government

three-week can food drive at Market Basket in Tilton.

The Stewart family that owns and operates All Brite — Rob and daughter Krysten — said their company will match can-for-can any donations made over the next three weeks.

For Capt. Steve Warren of the Laconia Salvation Army the donation was literally a God-send.

“This is just so wonderful,” he said, noting that this year more than ever there are local people struggling daily to feed their families. resigned this week.

Tahrir Square, meanwhile, was quieter Thursday after five days of intense clashes. Police and protesters agreed to a truce negotiated by Muslim clerics at the scene. At the same time, soldiers built barricades from metal bars and barbed wire to separate the protesters and the police on streets-turned-battlefields leading from Tahrir to the nearby Interior Ministry.

LACONIA — While road and bridge repairs represented the lion’s share of the 10 highest priorities for funding in fiscal year 2012-2013 recommended by the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Committee, the panel has also proposed appropriating $250,000 toward construction of the Weirs Community Park.

The committee proposed allocating $1,350,000 to street repairs, an increase of $500,000 over the amount appropriated this year, along with $50,000 for sidewalk construction and $40,000 for guardrail replacement. The city’s 20-percent share of the cost of repairing bridges on Academy Street and Court Street requires appropriations of $40,000 apiece.

The committee recommended adding another $25,000 to the fund for playground revitalization, which has a current balance of approximately $60,000. Funding for an emergency generator at

$54,230 and sewer upgrades at $55,000 round out the committee’s highest priorities.

The renovation and expansion of the central fire station, estimated to cost $3.9-million, placed twelfth among the committee’s priorities, with the recommendation that the project be financed by the sale of general obligation bonds.

Altogether the 10 highest priorities ranked by the committee’s represents of total capital outlay expenditures of $1.9-million. The 2011-2012 budget appropriated $1,190,000 for capital improvements and borrowed another $600,000 through the sale of general obligation bonds for the city’s share of the reconstruction of the Main Street Bridge.

The CIP Committee reports to the Planning Board, which will pass recommendations on to the city manager and, in turn, the City Council.

BELMONT from page one day, Scott said he and the chief held a preliminary meeting two weeks ago to explain the program.

He said Belmont was on the leading edge of communities applying for the grant and the intelligence officer’s main responsibility is to be Belmont’s primary recipient of information from the State of New Hampshire Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP) Information and Analysis Center. (IAC) Scott said the New Hampshire IAC is located in his office in Concord and he understood the officer would be spending much of his time working at the IAC.

During an interview of Tuesday, Biaocchetti said, the Belmont intelligence officer will have a desk at the Concord IAC and would be working, according to the terms of the grant, a maximum of 29.5 hours per week.

Biaocchetti said another condition of the grant is that the officer assigned to the position have an intelligence background and/or training and he has such a person in mind. He said he expected the new officer to be hired shortly.

Biaocchetti also said funding for the position is guaranteed (up to the $40,000 grant amount) through the middle of next year but there is every reason to believe more Homeland Security grant money will be made available beyond that point.

“We hope to get a more effective information exchange of information between law enforcement agencies that will help us better investigate crimes that occur within our area by broadening our ability to give and receive information throughout the state and region,” said Biaocchetti in summing up his expectations for the new position. see next page

Police say they busted Allenstown man in Laconia Rx parking lot with 202 oxycodone pills in his vehicle LACONIA — A 28-year-old Allenstown man was free on $10,000 cash bail last night after he was arrested Wednesday in possession of what police have identified as 202 oxycodone hydrochloride pills.

John Kelekci is due to be arraigned in Laconia District Court this morning on charges of possession of narcotic drugs with intent to distribute.

Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opiod typically prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.

According to a police report, Officer Adam Marsh was in the parking lot at Walgreen’s drug store in the downtown area at 8 p.m. on Wednesday night when he approached Kelekci, who was sitting in his vehicle. Marsh observed a bag of pills and an open bottle of alcohol.

The report indicates Kelekci was taken into police custody at that point and a search warrant was obtained for his vehicle. The search, assisted by K-9 Agbar, is said to have turned up the 202 pills and a digital scale. Another substance was sent to the State Police laboratory for analysis.

GABBY from page one “She was very warm, asked how our meal was, which, of course, was amazing. The food is awesome,” Gray said. “She and her husband were very, just delightful and asked a lot of questions. It was just very warmhearted, and I told her she was an inspiration and she was very thankful for that.”

Giffords and Kelly left after less than an hour. from preceding page Scott said there are 72 “recognized” IAC centers in the United States and his is the only one for New Hampshire. He said, by means of example, that Massachusetts has two “Fusion” centers — one is state-wide and overseen by the Massachusetts State Police and the other is Boston-based and is overseen by the Boston Police Department.

He said every state has at least one center and states with large metropolitan areas — like California and Florida — are likely to have multiple IAC or “Fusion” centers.

Scott said the ILO will provide information to Belmont and the Lakes Region about a variety of criminal topics — including drug smuggling, terrorist challenges and other criminal activity that doesn’t respect state or even federal boundaries.

Giffords has been undergoing intensive rehabilitation at TIRR Memorial Hermann in Houston as she recovers from a gunshot wound to the head. She was among 19 people shot Jan. 8 as she met with constituents outside a Tucson supermarket. Six people died.

The congresswoman arrived in Tucson on Tuesday evening from Houston for a private visit with her parents and other family members and friends.

“It’s always special to have a member of Congress come and spend time with the troops and show support,” said Brig Gen Jon Norman, acting commander of the Acting commander of the 12th Air Forces, Southern. “But after everything that she’s been through, it’s a little bit more special.”

Giffords’ staff said base officials originally asked a member of the congresswoman’s staff to take part in the annual Thanksgiving dinner. When the staff member told Giffords about the event, the congresswoman decided she wanted to go herself.

Giffords previously returned to Tucson for the Father’s Day and Labor Day weekends.

Portugal’s credit rating lowered to junk bond status as strike protests austerity LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal’s efforts to climb out of its economic crisis suffered a double setback Thursday as its credit rating was downgraded to junk status and a major strike gave voice to broad public outrage over austerity measures that have squeezed living standards.

Portugal’s deepening plight underlined Europe’s difficulties in finding a way out of the continent’s government debt crisis which has recently shown alarming signs of spreading to bigger nations, most notably Italy.

Like others in the 17-country eurozone, Portugal has embarked on a big austerity program to make its debts sustainable. Earlier this year, Portugal followed Greece and Ireland in taking a bailout to avert bankruptcy.

As in Greece, though, the government’s tough medicine, which is required by international creditors in return for the €78 billion ($104 billion) in bailout money, is unpopular. The strike had a huge turnout, making it possibly the biggest walkout in more than 20 years.

“They are trying to destroy the national health service, and salaries haven’t gone up since 2004,” striking doctor Pilar Vicente told Associated Press Television News.

Fitch blamed Portugal’s “large fiscal imbalances, high indebtedness across all sectors, and adverse macroeconomic outlook” for its decision to cut the country’s rating by one notch to BB+. Rival Moody’s already rates Portuguese bonds as junk but Standard & Poor’s rates them one notch above.

Fitch’s decision to cut Portugal to a

non-investment grade will likely mean it’s even more difficult for the country, which is already mired in a deep recession and is witnessing rising levels of unemployment, to return to bond markets by its 2013 goal. That raises the unappetizing prospect that Portugal, like Greece, may need a second bailout.

“Portugal’s downgrade goes to show how hard it will be for troubled economies to pull themselves out of the crisis and how long this will take,” said Sony Kapoor, managing director of Re-Define, an economic think tank.

“The Portuguese downgrade highlights the limits of austerity policies both domestically in Portugal and in the wider euro area.”

The 24-hour walkout came as Portugal, one of western Europe’s smallest and frailest economies, endures increasing hardship as it tries to get its borrowing levels down.

The strike was called by Portugal’s two largest trade union confederations, representing more than 1 million mostly blue-collar workers. Much of the private sector remained open for business though a huge Volkswagen car plant south of Lisbon, which accounts for 10 percent of Portuguese exports, decided to shut down production for the day because of problems facing its suppliers.

Much of the disruption was centered on the transport sector. Airlines canceled hundreds of international flights, and the airports of Lisbon, Porto and Faro were mostly empty as tens of thousands of workers walked off the job. Commuters had to get see next page

from preceding page to work without regular bus or train services. The Lisbon subway was shut, and police said roads into the capital were more congested than normal.

Few staff were working at government offices, local media reported. Many medical appointments, school classes and court hearings were canceled, while mail deliveries and trash collection were said to be severely disrupted.

An unsustainable debt load and feeble economic growth over the past 10 years pushed Portugal towards bankruptcy earlier this year, forcing it to ask for a financial rescue.

In return for the aid, Portugal agreed to cut its debt burden to a manageable level by 2013. That goal requires it to enact deep spending cuts and hike taxes.

Income tax, sales tax, corporate tax and property tax are all being increased. At the same time, welfare entitlements are being curtailed. Falling living standards have stoked outrage at the austerity measures.

Affairs Minister Miguel Relvas told reporters.

A key difference from Greece is that the markets have not given up completely on Portugal. Though Portugal’s key ten-year borrowing rate in the market stands at a still-exorbitant 12 percent, it’s way below the 30 percent or so Greek equivalent. The aim is to eventually get that rate down below the 7 percent threshold that eventually proved to be the trigger for this year’s bailout.

The Portuguese government, which came to power in June, has already conceded that its deficit reduction efforts have gone “off track” this year but says one-off measures, such as a 50 percent tax on Christmas bonuses and transferring banks’ pension funds to the Treasury, will ensure Portugal achieves its 2011 budget deficit goal of 5.9 percent. That is down from 9.8 percent in 2010.

Debt is also expected to surpass 100 percent of GDP this year and peak at 106 percent in 2013 before retreating.

Makris’ management of the 75-yearold Weirs Beach landmark inn follows in the footsteps of her grandparents and parents. She was educated at

Holderness School and the University of Vermont and apprenticed at Locke-Ober Restaurant in Boston.

Perhaps her most notable mark on the Naswa was the introduction of the highly imitated beach bar, an improvement for which she drew inspiration from the tikibars of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Makris has served on the board of Easter Seals N.H. for six years. She has also served on the board of the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce and is president of the Laconia Motorcycle Week Association.

Makris was instrumental is starting and hosting the Land & Lake Poker Run for Easter Seals, which has raised over $570,000 in the past 10 years. Additionally, the Annual Peter Makris Memorial Run — named for her late father, benefits both the Laconia Fire Department and Easter Seals N.H.’s Veterans Count Program. The event has become the official kick-off to Laconia Motorcycle Week and has thus far raised over $120,000.

The “Stars of the Industry” dinner also included recognition of the state

winners of the National Restaurant Association Restaurant Neighbor Award. Each year, the National Restaurant Association and American Express salute restaurateurs who go above and beyond in giving back to their communities through these

awards.

The 2011 Restaurant Neighbor Awards included a pair of recipients from the Lakes Region: The Common Man Family of Restaurants of Ashland and Patrick’s Pub & Eatery of Gilford.

‘Got Lunch!’ program big winner from 2nd Dancing With the Lakes Region Stars MEREDITH — On November 4, the Inter-Lakes Community Auditorium hosted the 2nd annual “Dancing with the Lakes Region Stars” fundraiser.

This event raised over $6,000 for 10 local non profits!

Laconia High School Vice Principal Dave Levesque and dance professional Erin McDonough won the event, and will present a $3,000 check to the Laconia “Got Lunch!” program as a result. All other charities targeted by competing dancers — Interlakes PTO, Bikers Against Child Abuse, Street Car Company, Meredith Food Pantry, Inter-Lakes Giving Tree Fund, Community Caregivers, Voices Against Violence, the Annie UpFund and Keeping You, Me and Memories Alive will also receive checks.

Belknap Mill Society celebrates 188th birthday of Laconia landmark LACONIA —The Belknap Mill Society celebrated the 188th anniversary of the downtown landmark building with a November 4 gala.

“A great turn-out and support provided a fitting celebration of the Belknap Mill’s 188th anniversary,” stated Society President Stephen Cotter. Ticket sales were up almost 10-percent from the previous year’s fundraiser and the event raised substantial dollars for the nonprofit organization.

The theme of the evening revolved around the Mill’s historic Holbrook Bell that still resides in the bell tower, a prominent and picturesque feature of Laconia’s city skyline.

“This theme also provided the perfect opportunity to recognize the Belknap Mill’s generous ‘Bell Ringer’ donors,” indicated Peggy Martin, chair of the Anniversary Celebration Committee that organized the event. Some of those Bell Ringers who attended the event included Paul Morin and family, whose ancestor J.P. Morin owned and operated the mill for more than 50 years.

Kenneth Deshaies of Laconia came up with the idea of the bell’s replication as a fundraiser for the organization as part of its 150th anniversary.

“Funds were needed to renovate and restore the Mill and, although I believed strongly in saving the mill from demolition in the urban renewal plans, I was a most outspoken opponent to use taxpayers’ money,” stated Deshaies, who proudly added “and Laconia tax dollars were not spent on it.”

A contest was created and various ideas were submitted on ways to raise money. Deshaies had just cast a from preceding page Oriana of Artfest in Laconia, and Jetta Morrision professor at Plymouth State and her partner Jazzercise instructor Kristen Vachon.

“We are very pleased with the outpouring of community support, and were happy to raise awareness for local nonprofits, as well as funds to help their programs. We’ll see you next year at Dancing with the Lakes Region Stars 2012”

larger bell at the Laconia Malleable Iron Company on Water Street and he knew there was a bell at the Mill. He went up into the bell tower to take a look at it and the idea to replicate the bell for fundraising purposes grew.

Deshaies, a proud graduate of Sacred Heart High School in Laconia who was second in his class, went on to explain that the tooling and castings were made at the house of Roland Breton on Liberty Hill. Breton is deceased, but others who worked on this project include Dick Davis and Peter Karagianis. Mill representatives brought silver dollars to melt into the metal. Sixty-six bells were made in two days and, ultimately, 150 bells were made. These bells are given to the larger benefactors of the Belknap Mill Society designated as “Bell Ringers,” with 52 bells left to be distributed.

At the anniversary celebration, the Bell theme continued with terrific entertainment provided by the Hallelujah Bell Choir from the First United Methodist Church of Gilford. A presentation of the bell’s history was provided by Mary Boswell, currently executive director of The Fells Historic Estate and Gardens and a former executive director of the Belknap Mill.

Area restaurants provided a wide variety of great food at the event: Contigiani’s Catering Service, Fratello’s, Giuseppe’s Pizzeria, Hart’s Turkey Farm Restaurant, Kevin’s Café, Laconia Village Bakery, O Steaks & Seafood, Patrick’s Pub & Eatery, T-Bones/ Cactus Jack’s, and Woodshed Roasting Company.

A silent auction provided an additional fundraising opportunity at the event. Gift certificates were donated

by Awakenings Espresso Café, Curt’s Caterers, Fratello’s, Lyons’ Den Restaurant, and Tavern 27.

Belknap Landscape Company and Appletree Nursery donated decorations to add an attractive seasonal feel to the event. Other supporters who made generous donations include General Linen Service (linens) and Taylor Rental (plates and silverware).

1848 Inn at Weirs Beach sold to unnamed party Laconia Family Planning LACONIA — New Hampshire Business Sales announces the sale of 1848 Inn and Resort, a landmark Weirs Beach hospitality property located on Route 3.

Carl and Kathy Daniels, who have owned the property since the early 2000s, decided to sell their popular resort property to pursue other interests.

The buyer will be making his own announcement in the future.

During their management, the Daniels made many improvements and helped to preserve the resort’s strong connection with Lakes Region visitors, attracting repeat visitors through the various seasons of the year. The resort consists of a motel segment, cabin, modular home, duplex and main house.

“This is a traditional hospitality property in a good location and potential for growth,” commented business intermediary Mike LaPierre, the New Hampshire Business Sales associate who brokered the sale.

The close proximity to Weirs Beach and Lake Winnipesaukee was of major interest to prospective buyers who considered the acquisition opportunity.

“Our marketing efforts for this kind of property continue to attract a new generation of buyers,” said John Howe, vice president of NHBS. “We continue to be bullish on the hospitality sector. The recent economy has been challenging, but New Hampshire

continues to attract visitors who seek opportunities to swim in our lakes, hike in our mountains and kick back and relax with their families.”

LaPierre said the Daniels will assist in a smooth transition with the new owner as the operation will maintain the same care and service it has been known for providing through the years. He has been selling businesses for over 25 years.

Genesis Behavioral Health names new board members, honors Ann Nichols & Dr. J. Pilliod

LACONIA — The board of directors of Genesis Behavioral Health welcomed five new members at its 45th annual meeting held at The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls in Meredith.

The new members include Elizabeth Baker of Gilford, Gail Lyman of Tilton, Deborah Pendergast of Gilford, Matthew Soza of Laconia and Jannine Sutcliffe of Laconia.

Lara J. Saffo, Grafton County Attorney, served as the evening’s keynote speaker. Ms. Saffo presented information on the mental health court and drug court initiatives in Grafton County, and shared statistics on incarceration of people with mental health issues.

Each year the Helen Holbrook Leadership and Service Award is presented by Genesis Behavioral Health to an individual who leads by example and gives of themselves to strengthen the cause of mental health in the Lakes Region. This year’s recipient was Ann Nichols, who served three consecutive terms on the Genesis Behavioral Health Board, including several years as treasurer and president.

“Throughout her years on the board, Ann has demonstrated her commitment to mental health in the Lakes Region, and has led by example,” said Maggie Pritchard, executive director of Genesis Behavioral Health, “We are grateful for her dedication and are fortunate to have her as a lifetime advocate and friend.”

Genesis Behavioral Health also recognized an individual who promotes increased awareness, sensitivity, understanding and acceptance of mental health issues in the Lakes Region with the Dr. George “Pete” Harris Community Service Award. This award, named after the physician who founded Genesis Behavioral Health, was presented to Representative James P. Pilliod, MD. Rep. Pilliod served on the Genesis Board for several years, and has been a strong advocate for mental health during his time in the state legislature. “As a physician, Rep. Pilliod clearly understands the impact of mental illness on a family and on a community,” said Pritchard, “As a legislator, he is able to articulate this to his colleagues and is a voice for a population that often has none.”

Genesis Behavioral Health is designated by the state of New Hampshire as the community mental health center serving Belknap and southern Grafton Counties. A private, non-profit corporation, Genesis serves over 3,000 individuals each year. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 5241100 or visit the website at www.genesisbh.org.

N.H.-based energy purchase collaborative now open for more businesses to join ROCHESTER — As a result of a successful “reverse energy auction”, many members of the Rochester Buying Power, involving 150 New Hampshire-based businesses, will be saving from $200 to $3,500 per month on their utility costs for the entire year.

The negotiated rate of $.0732 per kilowatt was reduced from the standard rate of $.0889 per kilowatt – a 17-percent reduction based on a pool of 25-million kilowatts. The reverse auction was open to all deregulated suppliers approved in the state.

“The reverse energy auction took 15 minutes and will greatly help these hard working New Hampshire businesses improve their bottom line for the entire year,” noted Jeff Hiatt, founder and CEO of Performance Business Solutions, LLC, based in Hampton Falls. “Many businesses are still unaware of the power, pardon my pun, of the reverse energy auction, but it can have a major impact for high energy users such as manufacturers, large office building owners and hotels,” added Hiatt.

Rochester Buying Power is opening its ranks for other New Hampshire businesses that can benefit from its pooled buying power. Another reverse energy auction is scheduled for mid to late November prior to the December meter readings. New Hampshire

customers within the footprint of PS&H, National Grid New Hampshire, New Hampshire Eletrical Cooperative and Unitel are eligible to join the Rochester Buying Power.

Rochester Buying Power enables businesses to band together to negotiate lower prices from deregulated electric and gas suppliers. Once together in a “pool”, that volume is auctioned off via a 15 minute reverse auction to all deregulated suppliers approved in the state.

The reverse auction is implemented via an internetbased system that tracks utility information and enables clients to manage their account more efficiently.

Hiatt, Performance Business Solutions, LLC explained, “There is no great secret to the success of the reverse energy auction concept. The utilities covet major power users and strive to keep their business. We simply formalize the process by aggregating several regional, major energy users and allow the suppliers to make their best offer.”

To have your business or municipality participate in a reverse energy auction or arrange for a 179D Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction, contact Jeff Hiatt, (508) 878-4846, JDH@revenuebanking.com. Or visit www.RevenueBanking.com.

Common Man links its 800 employees to United Way Gingrich could spark GOP ASHLAND — The Common Man family of restauire with immigration stand rants has partnered with the United Way to offer its more than 800 employees an easy way to contribute to the many programs and partnerships of the organization.

Known in the Common Man family as STARS, employees can now opt in to an automatic payroll deduction program and impact the lives of thousands of families and individuals touched by the United Way. “This partnership is a big step forward for everyone in the Lakes Region,” said Jack Terrill, president of Lakes Region United Way. “We think it will do a lot of good in local communities for many years to come.”

The Common Man family, already legendary for its generosity and for the motto ‘Doing well by doing good’ will focus its annual STAR fundraising drive on raising money for the three focus areas of LRUW - education, income and healthy communities.

Common Man owner and founder Alex Ray was pleased to offer the program as another opportunity for STARS to give back. “We have always prided ourselves on being a cornerstone in our communities and we are always conscious of serving local areas with our giving,” said Ray. “This new program really helps get all of our STARS involved at whatever level they choose. We look forward to growing with the United Way and to delivering an even greater impact on local communities.”

Lakes Region United Way President Jack Terrill, Common Man Founder and Owner Alex Ray, and immediate past LRUW Board Chair John Malm of Meredith Village Savings Bank gather to discuss the new partnership between Common Man and Lakes Region United Way. (Courtesy photo)

Terrill echoed Ray’s thoughts. “We have always wanted to have a partnership with The Common Man family, and we admire their culture of doing well by doing good,” said Terrill. “We thank Alex and his leadership team, who took a hard look at what we are trying to accomplish in the Lakes Region and felt that their support was warranted for our work.

Advancing the common good is a team game, and without supporters like the Common Man, our community goals will elude us.”

ATLANTA (AP) — Newt Gingrich has charged into the fray over illegal immigration, risking conservative ire just as his Republican presidential campaign — once declared all but dead — has vaulted into front-runner status.

The firebrand former House speaker broke with what has become a reflexive Republican hard line on immigration, calling for “humane” treatment for otherwise law-abiding illegal immigrants who have been in the United States for decades, establishing deep family and community ties.

Gingrich suggested they should be provided a pathway to legal residency but not citizenship.

Republicans, he said, should see illegal immigrants through the prism of another issue near and dear to the GOP faithful: family values.

“I don’t see how the party that says it’s the party of the family is going to adopt an immigration policy which destroys families that have been here a quarter-century,” Gingrich said at a televised debate Tuesday night.

The response was swift.

Some conservatives asserted he had wounded his candidacy, perhaps fatally.

“Newt did himself significant harm tonight on immigration among caucus and primary voters,” tweeted Tim Albrecht, deputy chief of staff to Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, whose state holds the lead-off caucuses in January.

Immigration has proven to be politically treacherous for Republicans trying to appeal to the party’s conservative base. Just ask Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who said critics of in-state tuition for illegal immigrants “did not have a heart.” Perry had to apologize for the remark.

William Gheen, president of the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, said Gingrich’s campaign “will now take the ‘Perry plunge.’”

Miss Lakes Region Megan Lyman raising funds in connection with January trip to help kids in Nicaragua GILFORD — Miss Lakes Region 2012, Megan Lyman of Gilford, will be traveling to Nicaragua on January 7 as part of a delegation from Outreach360, formerly known as Orphanage Outreach. She will be part of a team of 10 people from New England College and is asking for donations to aid in the organization’s work.

“I am taking a big step toward my dream of inspiring people all around the world by traveling to Nicaragua, putting my college education to the test,” said Lyman. “While there I will spend 10 hours each day teaching less-fortunate children how to read and write in English. I’m extreme excited to travel with my fellow college students and have to opportunity to use teaching methods I’ve studied the past three years at New England College, where I will be receiving a degree in Elementary and Special Education.”

Lyman said she dedicated the money she earned this past summer from waitressing to cover her trip expenses but would also like to raise money locally to donate to the Outreach360 program.

Outreach360’s mission is to be a world class provider of international service-learning opportunities, providing a consistent and predict-able

volunteer experience, surprising and delighting volunteers with a powerful cultural experience and the ability to make a significant difference.

“Outreach360 has been working with disadvantaged children, families and communities since 1994,” said Lyman. I have chosen to make a difference with these children by volunteering my time and by raising funds. By fund raising I am not only trying to make the trip possible, but also spread awareness about the issues that I’m passionate about. Getting others involved is the best way to make a difference in the world. I believe one of the blessings we’ve been given is living in a wealthy country, surrounded by people with resources, who although may not have the same desire or time to volunteer abroad, are still interested in making an impact.”

Donations are tax deductible for U.S. taxpayers and receipts will be provided via e-mail. They may be made online at www.outreach360.org/ meganlyman or in person at the Gilford Village Store. A donation jar is located on the store counter.

“Donations are greatly appreciated from me, my family, and surely the people I will meet along my journey to Nicaragua,” added Lyman. “Thank you for helping me help others.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll hear kind words of support, and you’ll mentally speak to yourself in an encouraging way, as well. All the positive reinforcement will help you make this day truly memorable for you and yours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It has something to do with the way you dig into life with a sense of whimsy and fun. By the end of the day, you’ll be even more popular than you were at the beginning.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You approach the day with some degree of solemnity, and there’s an atmosphere of importance around you. The respect you give to loved ones comes like a fast boomerang back to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You understand what it means to have an attitude of gratitude, and you’ll teach those who are younger, or those who are for some reason less aware of their blessings, how to show and feel appreciation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll ignore the little glitches and change the plan as often as necessary. You’ll let nothing keep you from your goal of creating a shared experience with the people you love.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 24).

Relationships will be healed this year.

In the weeks to come, you’ll spend gleeful quality time with those who are most dear to you. You’ll buzz with electric insight into matters of business in January. You will be wiling to take greater risks because you have a prescient sense that the return will be high.

Cancer and Libra people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 15, 44, 31 and 30.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You feel driven to spread your love of humanity to everyone with whom you connect.

Your conversation hovers around the most interesting and uplifting news you’ve heard.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will know on a deep level that you’re an integral part of what’s happening in your group. You’ll get the sense that you’re leading the action in a way that never could occur without you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll exercise your creative muscles and express yourself with flair. There will be more options available to you than you could possibly sample in one day, though you’ll certainly try!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be among a mix of loved ones and strangers, and you’ll feel that in many ways the world is one big community in which you feel quite welcome. People around you will be thankful that you were part of their day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Counteract the day’s heightened level of excitement with moments of deep breathing, fresh air and solitude. Ten minutes to yourself every so often will ensure that your mood is consistently wonderful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll take extra measures to make sure that everyone is comfortable. In an effort to see things the way your loved ones see things, you’ll put yourself in different positions, figuratively and, wherever possible, actually.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be inclined to hustle all day if you let yourself, but don’t. Your enjoyment will be amplified if you relax into moments of chitchat and fun instead of constantly noticing all the work there is to be

––––––– ALMANAC –––––––

Today is Thursday, Nov. 24, the 328th day of 2011. There are 37 days left in the year. This is Thanksgiving Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 24, 1971, a hijacker calling himself “Dan Cooper” (but who became popularly known as “D.B. Cooper”) parachuted from a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 somewhere over the Pacific Northwest after receiving $200,000 dollars in ransom — his fate remains unknown.

On this date: In 1784, Zachary Taylor, the 12th president of the United States, was born in Orange County, Va. In 1859, British naturalist Charles Darwin published “On the Origin of Species,” which explained his theory of evolution by means of natural selection.

In 1863, the Civil War Battle of Lookout Mountain began in Tennessee; Union forces succeeded in taking the mountain from the Confederates.

In 1941, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Edwards v. California, unanimously struck down a California law prohibiting people from bringing impoverished non-residents into the state.

In 1950, the musical “Guys and Dolls,” based on the writings of Damon Runyon and featuring songs by Frank Loesser, opened on Broadway.

In 1963, Jack Ruby shot and mortally wounded Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy, in a scene captured on live television.

In 1969, Apollo 12 splashed down safely in the Pacific.

In 1991, rock singer Freddie Mercury died in London at age 45 of AIDS-related pneumonia.

One year ago: A jury in Austin convicted former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, on charges he’d illegally funneled corporate money to Texas candidates in 2002. (DeLay, who was later sentenced to three years in prison, is free on bond as his legal team appeals.)

Today’s Birthdays: Country singer Johnny Carver is 71. Rock-and-roll drummer Pete Best is 70. Rock musician Donald “Duck” Dunn (Booker T. & the MG’s) is 70.

Actor-comedian Billy Connolly is 69. Singer Lee Michaels is 66. Actor Dwight Schultz is 64. Actor Stanley Livingston is 61. Rock musician Clem Burke is 57. Record producer Terry Lewis is 55. Actor Ruben SantiagoHudson is 55. Actress Denise Crosby is 54.

Actress Shae D’Lyn is 49. Rock musician John Squire (The Stone Roses) is 49. Rock musician Gary Stonadge (Big Audio) is 49.

Actor Garret Dillahunt is 47. Actor-comedian Scott Krinsky is 43. Rock musician Chad Taylor (Live) is 41. Actress Lola Glaudini is 40. Actress Danielle Nicolet is 38. Actor Colin Hanks is 34. Actress Katherine Heigl is 33. Actress Sarah Hyland is 21.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Readers: Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you are fortunate enough to be spending the holiday with family and friends. And an extra shout-out to those readers who are spending the day volunteering at shelters and soup kitchens. Bless you for your kind hearts and generosity of spirit.

Here is one of Ann Landers’ favorite essays, which we feel is quite appropriate for Thanksgiving: I Asked God (author unknown) I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.

I was made weak, that I might learn to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things.

I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.

I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.

I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.

I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I asked for -- but everything I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among all men, most richly blessed.

Dear Readers: This was written many years ago by Judy Vekasy, a registered nurse and director of activities in a nursing home in Savannah, Tenn., and it appeared several times in Ann Landers’ column. It originally appeared in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. For those with some spare time this week, please stop by any nursing home and volunteer: You say you can’t do anything. Can you read? Good. Read to me. My eyes aren’t what they used to be.

Can you write? Good. Write a letter or a card for me. My hands are shaky.

Can you sing? Good. Help me with the words and I’ll sing along.

Can you tell me about your job? I was a nurse once myself.

Can you listen? Wonderful. I’m starved for conversation.

Can you bake a sponge cake or zucchini bread or angel biscuits or make fudge? They aren’t on the nursing home menu, but I remember how good they were and I would like to taste them again.

Do you play checkers or dominoes or rummy? Fine, so do I, but there is never anyone who has the time. They are understaffed around here, you know.

Do you play the violin or the flute or the piano? My hearing is poor, but I can hear any kind of music. Even if I fall asleep, you’ll know I enjoyed it.

Once we were somebodies, just like you. We were farmers and farmers’ wives and teachers, nurses, beauticians, stockbrokers and electricians, bankers and sheriffs and maybe a few outlaws, too. We’re not all senile -- just old and needing more help than our families can give us. This home, whatever its name, is “home” to us and you’re an invited guest.

Please come. The welcome mat is always out and not just on Thanksgiving. I hope you will keep this and read it again in January, February, and every other month of the year. We’ll still be here and our needs will be the same.

Annie’s Snippet for Thanksgiving (credit the late Irv Kupcinet): An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day.

FBI arrests 7 in haircut attacks apparently aimed at silencing Amish leader’s critics MILLERSBURG, Ohio (AP) — The leader of a breakaway Amish group allowed the beatings of those who disobeyed him, made some members sleep in a chicken coop and had sexual relations with married women to “cleanse them,” federal authorities said Wednesday as they charged him and six others with hate crimes in hair-cutting attacks against other Amish.

Authorities raided the group’s compound in eastern Ohio earlier in the day and arrested seven men, including group leader Sam Mullet and three of his sons.

Several members of the group carried out the attacks in September, October and November by forcibly cutting the beards and hair of Amish men and women and then taking photos of them, author-

Cutting the hair is a highly offensive act to the Amish, who believe the Bible instructs women to let their hair grow long and men to grow beards and stop shaving once they marry. One victim told the FBI he would rather have been “beaten black and blue than to suffer the disfigurement and humiliation of having his hair removed,” according to court papers.

The attacks struck at the core of the Amish identity and tested their principles. They are pacifists and strongly believe that they must be forgiving in order for God to forgive them, which often means handing out their own punishment and not reporting crimes to law enforcement.

The attacks had terrorized Amish communities,

Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla said at a news conference Wednesday.

“You’ve got Amish all over the state of Ohio and Pennsylvania and Indiana that are concerned.

We’ve received hundreds and hundreds of calls from people living in fear,” he said. “They are buying Mace, some are sitting with shotguns, getting locks on their doors because of Sam Mullet.”

The sheriff added, “Sam Mullet is evil.”

A defense attorney for Sam Mullet said his client would fight the federal charges.

Mullet told The Associated Press in October that he didn’t order the hair-cutting but didn’t stop his sons and others from carrying it out. He said the see next page

from preceding page goal was to send a message to other Amish that they should be ashamed of themselves for the way they were treating Mullet and his community.

“They changed the rulings of our church here, and they’re trying to force their way down our throat, make us do like they want us to do, and we’re not going to do that,” Mullet said.

U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach said Wednesday that religious differences should be a matter of theological debate, not disputes “resolved by late night visits to people’s homes with weapons and violent attacks.” He said he did not know how often hate crimes involve intradenominational disputes.

Those arrested include Mullet; his sons Johnny, Lester and Daniel; Levi Miller; Eli Miller; and Emanuel Schrock. The charges carry a penalty of up 10 years in prison.

The men appeared in U.S. District Court in Youngstown on Wednesday afternoon, and Magistrate Judge George Limbert ordered them detained by the U.S. Marshals Service pending hearings next week.

Attorneys for Johnny and Lester Mullet and Levi and Eli Miller said they could not comment Wednesday on the details of the case. Messages seeking

comment were left for attorneys representing Daniel Mullet and Emanuel Schrock.

Lawyer Andy Hyde, who represents Sam Mullet in the state case, said Mullet would contest the federal charges but said he didn’t know if he would represent Mullet in federal court.

Holmes County Prosecutor Steve Knowling, who filed state charges against five of the same defendants last month, said he would dismiss those counts and let federal prosecutors take the lead in the case.
