‘Consumer driven’ health plan said on table in school/union negotiations

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Superintendent Bob Champlin last night said the administration and the three unions that represent various employee groups within the School District are working together to lower the

costs of health insurance.

Champlin said the three contracts, with the teachers, the para-professionals, and the janitors are all in negotiations and while most union negotiations are private, he said the discussions on health insurance are “quite public.”

“It really shows a willingness of teachers to work with us,” Champlin said, who said the two goals of the district are to take care of its employees and to keep health insurance costs a low as possible.

As part of his presentation he chronicled see INSURANCE page 4

LACONIA — The Belknap County Commission took another step toward designing a new correctional system when Ken Ricci and Laura Maiello of Ricci Greene Associates of New York presented a profile of the facility to the Planning Committee, along with members of a community advisory committee and County Convention yesterday.

“You are building a new system,” Maiello said. “Not just a new jail.”

She recalled the report by David Bennett, the consultant the commission hired to develop a strategy for the Corrections Department aimed at who reducing the high rate of recidivism and the spiraling cost of incarceration.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher told officers who found him sleeping in his car outside an apartment complex hours before he committed a murder-suicide that he was there to visit a woman he described as his “girlfriend,” but that she wasn’t home.

The apartment complex is about 10 miles from the Kansas City home Belcher shared with 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins, the mother of their 3-month-old daughter Zoey. Belcher shot Perkins at their home Saturday morning before driving to Arrowhead Stadium, where he committed suicide in the practice facility’s parking lot, police said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tweaking the way the government measures inflation sounds like an obscure method to help reduce budget deficits, but over time it would lead to significantly lower Social Security benefits while increasing taxes, mainly on low- and middle-income families.

If adopted across the government, the change would have far-reaching effects because so many programs are adjusted each year based on year-to-year changes in consumer prices.

It would mean smaller annual increases

in Social Security payments, government pensions and veterans’ benefits. Taxes would slowly increase because annual adjustments to income tax brackets would be smaller, pushing more people into higher tax brackets. Over time, fewer people would be eligible for antipoverty programs like Medicaid, Head Start, food stamps, school lunches and home heating assistance because annual adjustments to the poverty level would be smaller, leaving fewer people under the official poverty line.

House Republicans proposed the new

inflation measure Monday as part of a 10-year, $2.2 trillion plan to avoid the yearend fiscal cliff, a combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts that economists warn could send the economy back into recession. They also proposed raising the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67, and raising taxes by $800 billion.

President Barack Obama supported the new inflation measure in deficit-reduction talks last year. That increases the possibility it could become part of a compromise, see INFLATION page 4

NEW YORK (AP) — Police questioned a suspect Tuesday in the death of a New Yorker who was pushed onto the tracks and photographed just before a train hit him — an image that drew virulent criticism after it appeared on the front page of the New York Post.

Investigators recovered security video showing a man fitting the description of the assailant working with street vendors

near Rockefeller Center, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said.

Witnesses told investigators they saw the suspect talking to himself Monday afternoon before he approached Ki-Suck Han at the Times Square station, got into an altercation with him and pushed him into the train’s path.

Police took the man into custody Tuesday, but he hasn’t yet been charged.

Han, 58, of Queens, died shortly after being struck. Police said he tried to climb a few feet to safety but got trapped between the train and the platform’s edge.

The Post published a photo on its front page Tuesday of Han desperately looking at the train, his arms reaching up but unable to climb off the tracks in time. It was shot by freelance photographer R. see SUBWAY page 9

Palestinians say Israeli push for settlements will end chance for 2 states

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — The Palestinians will ask the U.N. Security Council to call for an Israeli settlement freeze, President Mahmoud Abbas and his advisers decided Tuesday, as part of an escalating showdown over Israel’s new

plans to build thousands more homes on war-won land in and around Jerusalem.

Such construction will destroy any lingering hopes of setting up a Palestinian state, Abbas aides warned, as international anger over the settlement construc-

tion snowballed.

Israel announced the new plans after the U.N. last week recognized a state of Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem — lands Israel occupied in 1967 see ISRAEL page 12

INSURANCE from page one a 16-year history of health insurance trends and how school boards and administration have reacted to them.

Champlin said one of the discussions the negotiating teams are having is switching to a “consumerdriven health plan” that is offered by their current provider — SchoolCare (N.H. School Health Care Coalition) — but would more closely mimic health insurance plans offered by private insurers.

He said the one of the plans the dis-

trict is examining would limit the 20132014 increase in health insurance cost to 1.2 percent as opposed to the 6.7 percent increase the district will see if it stays on the same plan at this year.

Champlin also noted the employees of the Laconia School District have gone three years without cost-of-living adjustments or seniority-based salary step increases.

Beyond talking about a possible switch in health care plans, all Champlin said about the negotiations is “they’re at the table now.”

INFLATION from page 2 though White House officials have said they oppose including changes to Social Security in the current talks.

Obama sidestepped the issue when he was asked about it in a broadcast interview Tuesday.

“I am willing to look at anything that strengthens our system and makes it, and makes it clear over the long term that the basic social safety net for our seniors is going to be there,” Obama said on Bloomberg Television.

The inflation measure under consideration is called the Chained Consumer Price Index. On average, the measure shows a lower level of inflation than the more widely used Consumer Price Index.

The chained CPI assumes that as prices rise, consumers turn to lowercost alternatives, reducing the amount of inflation they experience. For example, if the price of beef increases while the price of pork does not, people will buy more pork. Or, as opponents argue mockingly, if the price of home heating oil goes up, people will turn down their heat and wear more sweaters.

The new inflation measure is unpopular among many Democrats in Congress and advocates for seniors who complain that it would disproportionately hit low-and middle-income families. AARP and other groups have been fighting it for years.

Projects in Laconia, Gilmanton, M’borough & Hebron get LCHIP funding LACONIA — Four historic preservation projects in the Lakes Region were among the 18 statewide funded in part this week by the state’s Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP).

The Belknap Mill Society in Laconia received a $12,000 grant for an exterior rehabilitation project which will see the cupola dome, bell tower, bell tower base and flagpole replaced.

The $32,000 project, for which the mill applied for a $16,000 grant, will also see the finial which holds the weathervane atop the mill replaced. It was removed on Friday.

In 2011 the Mill Society also received a grant from LCHIP for repairs to stone and brick masonry in the 1823 mill, which is New Hampshire’s official meetinghouse.

Another building project funded was Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough, where the Castle Preservation Society received $25,000 for work on the front facade, a $250,000 project for which it had requested $50,000.

The sun porch and entry on the Castle’s south and east facade are bulging and the crumbling stonework needs immediate attention at the 1914 Arts and Crafts style Lucknow estate which overlooks Lake Winnipesaukee.

In Gilmanton a campaign by the Five Rivers Conservation Trust and he Gilmanton Land Trust to purchase the Twigg property atop Frisky Hill from preceding page standing on the deck of a boat and you’re in very deep water and they want you to swim but they are going to put a log chain around your foot. That’s chained CPI,” Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said at a recent rally on Capitol Hill to oppose cuts to benefit programs. “One way or the other it’s going to drag you to the bottom.”

But the new inflation measure is popular among budget hawks in part because it cuts benefits and increases taxes gradually in ways that might not be

The 270-acre Hazelton Farm in Hebron (Courtesy photo)

received $22,500 of the $45,000 it had requested.

The 41 acres offer commanding views of the nearby mountains and are the subject of a $1.189 million fund drive which is nearly completed.

The property contains the only known retting pond, which was used in flax making, in the central part of the state.

The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests received $50,000 toward the purchase of a conservation easement on 270-acre Hazelton Farm in Hebron. The society had sought taht same amount readily apparent to most Americans. The savings, however, become substantial over time, adding up to more than $200 billion over the next decade, according to congressional estimates.

“It’s a proposal with bipartisan support because it more accurately reflects the changes in costs,” said Michael Steel, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

Overall, the proposal would cut Social Security benefits by $102 billion over the next decade, according to an estimate by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget

for the project.

“The Board of Directors had to make very difficult choices in selecting from among the many worthwhile projects that applied,” commented LCHIP Board Chair Rusty McLear of Meredith. “The applicants did a fine job limiting their requests because of the modest amount available.”

The leverage ratio is unusually high in this grant round, with less than $500,000 in grant awards leveraging a total project value exceeding $11 million. Fifty-one applications were received, seeking a total of more than $2.2 million from the $500,000 available. Money for this grant round became available when funds from several earlier awards that were unexpectedly returned to LCHIP. LCHIP awarded $1.3 million and $1.5 million in 2011 and 2010 respectively.

Up until the current grant round, 226 LCHIP grants have helped 141 New Hampshire communities conserve 263,000+ acres of land and 126 historic structures and sites. The $27 million of state money invested in these projects has leveraging more than $236 million in total project value. Proceeds from the legislatively created funding source for LCHIP have been allocated to the state’s general fund for FY 2012-13.

Office. It would cut government pensions and veterans’ benefits by $21 billion over the same time period.

Supplemental Security Income, the disability program for the poor, would be cut by nearly $7 billion For the more than 56 million people who get Social Security, the new measure would reduce annual cost-of-living adjustments, or COLAs, by an average of 0.3 percentage points each year, according to the Social Security Administration. Next year’s increase is scheduled to be 1.7 percent. Under the chained CPI, it would be about 1.4 percent.

Pat Buchanan

For GOP: a moment to show courage Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s opening bid to Speaker John Boehner, a demand for $1.6 trillion in new taxes, was not meant as a serious offer. It was an ultimatum couched in an insult. Translation: “We won the election. We have the whip hand. Not only are you going to sign on to higher tax rates and higher tax revenues, we are going to rub your Tea Party noses in your coming capitulation.”

That Boehner did not throw the offer back in Geithner’s face and tell him, “Give me a call, Tim, when you’re serious,” suggests that the speaker feels he is holding a losing hand. He wants a deal where the GOP agrees to higher revenues and the White House agrees to cuts in future entitlement outlays. But the Obamaites are looking to dictate terms. They want a triumph. If that means casting Boehner as the Neville Chamberlain of the GOP, so be it.

What explains their hubris?

Two years ago, Obama had to eat crow and extend the Bush tax cuts.

Now it’s payback time. And behind their arrogance lies a belief that the GOP cannot say no. For if the Bush tax cuts and the payroll tax cuts expire on Jan. 1, Americans will face the highest tax hike in history.

— Every family earning up to $100,000 would see 2 percent of its income lopped off, as the employee half of the Social Security tax rises from 4.2 to 6.2. percent. The discretionary income of Middle Americans would be ravaged.

— The federal tax rate on capital gains will rise from 15 percent to a maximum 24.7 percent, a jump of 60 percent.

— The federal tax rate on interest and dividends will triple from 15 percent to a maximum 44.7 percent.

— Where $5 million of an estate can now be passed on to one’s heirs non-taxed, that will be cut to $1 million. And the death tax rate would shoot from 35 percent to a neo-Marxist 55 percent.

Even Senate Democrats fear this would force a selloff or breakup of family farms and family businesses at death.

Yet somewhere, the radical socialist Saul Alinsky, who inspired the young community organizer, is smiling.

Why does Obama see himself in the catbird seat, though his demands are intolerable to the GOP and, absent a deal, he risks taking the country over the cliff Jan. 1? Obama believes that if we go into the abyss, he can paint the Republican Party as having imperiled the economy and imposed tax increases on the middle class, just to spare America’s top 2 percent from a modest increase in its contribution to debt reduction.

And Obama has a hole card. If those tax hikes hit Jan. 1, he will be able to posture as the rescuer of the 98 percent by proposing to the new Congress an Obama tax cut that restores the Bush rates for all couples earning less than $250,000.

He will also be able to dictate to Boehner & Co. the tax rate on estates, dividends and capital gains that he will accept or not accept. The Bush tax cuts would be replaced by the Obama tax cuts, as the GOP is cursed from coast to coast for taking us over the cliff.

Obama believes he will then be seen as pulling the nation out of the pit into which the GOP had plunged it, simply to spare its fat cats a needed haircut.

In “Rules for Radicals,” the Alinsky rulebook and Obama playbook, the first rule is, “Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have.”

Clearly, many Republicans think that if they do not yield, Obama will let the country go over the cliff, blame them and portray himself credibly as the man who saved the nation from Republican intransigence over a small tax hike for the rich that most Americans support.

Yet Obama is not without risk here.

As America heads toward the cliff, there could be panic selling of stocks, bonds and assets to avoid higher taxes on interest, dividends and capital gains in 2013. The economy could tank. Obama could become the Democrats’ Herbert Hoover.

As for John Boehner, he must know that if he yields too much, his caucus will rebel and his speakership will be at an end.

What to do?

Forget the deal. Walk away from the talks with Geithner. Pass an extension of the payroll tax cut, and send it to Harry Reid. Pass the Bush tax cuts, and send them to Harry Reid and say: “Harry, you are going to have to pass this extension of the tax cuts, or kill them, or send us a counteroffer.

Do nothing, and you, not we, will take America over the cliff.”

When Sen. Edmund Ross rose to cast the decisive vote in the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson, he said, “I looked down into my own political grave.”

Reviled by the radicals of his era, Ross yet made it into JFK’s “Profiles in Courage.” We are at such a moment.

(Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)

LETTERS Truth is, welfare/work waivers were requested by governors To the editor, Russ Wiles claims he is citing examples of lawlessness from the Obama administration. Russ has never let anyone down when it comes to exaggeration and distortion and even redefining words. The first bit of redefining lawlessness is his claim that Obama has four more years to dismantle the Constitution. And the sky is falling, too. Oh Cassandra!

It also seems to Russ that it is lawless to tell law enforcement that since immigration enforcement manpower is limited, officers should use the resources we do have to target the more dangerous elements. A bigger bang for the buck. That’s just common sense when delegating limited resources.

Obama’s directive is like telling police that since manpower is limited, courts are clogged, funding has been cut, and prisons are overcrowded, police forces should concentrate on the more dangerous offenders.

The next claim of Obama’s lawlessness has been refuted so many times, I was surprised to see Russ use it. I suppose he and the rest of the Fake News propaganda machine live by the same code of ethics that Romney pollster Neil Newhouse presented us; “We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers”.

According to the conservative entertainment complex, Obama stealthily stripped the work requirement

from the 1996 Welfare Reform Act. The truth is that the waiver was created after several governors (Utah, Nevada, California, Connecticut and Minnesota) recently sought these waivers. Going back even farther, seven years ago, 28 Republican Governors including Romney signed a letter seeking waivers in order to put states in more control of the program. Clinton’s Chief of Staff Podesta said this about the GOP request: the waivers “would have given states the opportunity to not impose the requirement of work and, I think, would have completely undermined the ‘96 law”.

Following in the immoral footsteps of the sociopath Ayn Rand, Romney’s designs included demolishing very important work exemptions which were designed to strengthen families; those for pregnant women in the third trimester and mothers with children between one and two years old.

Contrary to Pope Santorum’s claim that the 1996 law prohibits a president from waiving the work requirement, “Section 1115 allows for waiver of compliance with section 402 of the Social Security Act to the extent and for the period necessary to enable a state to carry out an approved project”.

Pants on Fire!

You wanted evidence, Russ?

New gaming money needs to go toward lowering property taxes To the editor, Even before the new legislators, House and Senate, take office on December 5 there is lots of discussion about expanding gaming in N.H. with licensing and building casinos. This matter will be a hot topic of discussion this coming winter and spring.

Actually, under current N.H. law, we run a very successful gambling business with N.H. Sweepstakes under the State Lottery Commission and The Racing and Charitable Gaming Commissions that generate much needed income into the revenue side of the N.H. state budget.

As one of your elected officials I have

provided the revenues go back to local communities and municipalities to relieve the heavy property tax burdens. AND we should NOT create a new agency to administer the program but build it into either The Racing and Charitable Gaming Commission or the State Lottery Commission. AND commission member positions should remain appointed as they are now by Governor and Council.

I know N.H. House and Senate Members would appreciate knowing your ideas on this issue and I would too!

Contact my office anytime.

LETTERS I’m sure you know all about gold, but how about frankincense and myrrh?

To the editor, It’s Christmas! Time to put up the tree, hang the wreath on the door and start shopping for the biggest gift-giving season of the year!

Have you ever wondered why we do those things?

Maybe the question crossed your mind at some point. But truly, when it comes to Christmas, ours is not to ask why, but only to do. If it’s tradition, we just do know and maybe ask “why” later.

Thankfully, the Holy Spirit encouraged me to dig a little into the background of a few of our traditions.

Once you see what I discovered, I’m sure you will be as surprised — and ministered to — as I was.

First, why do we put up a Christmas tree?

Originally, the Christmas tree was an evergreen tree and represented the eternal life that the Lord Jesus brings. When it is cut down and put up again, the tree represents the resurrection of our Lord.

What about the wreath?

The wreath is a circle which represents the eternal, divine love of God, which has no beginning and no end. Lovely, isn’t it? When we know what they stand for, mere decorations can serve as a reminder that the Lord Jesus truly is the reason for the season.

The tradition of gift giving runs deeper in meaning than decorations. It comes from the account of the Magi bringing gifts to the Child Jesus in Matthew 2. Beyond tradition, there is something of great significance in what the wise men gave that deserves investigation.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men (astrologers) from the east came to Jerusalem, asking, where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east at it’s rising and have come to worship Him. When Herod the king heard this, he was disturbed and troubled, and the whole of Jerusalem with him. So he called together the chief priests and learned men (scribes) of the people and anxiously asked them where the Christ was to be born. They replied to him, In Bethlehem of Judea. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, go and search for the child carefully and diligently, and when you have found Him, bring word to me, that I too may come and worship Him. When they had listen to the king, they went their way, and behold, the star which had been seen in the east in it’s rising went before them until it came and stood over the place where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they were thrilled with ecstatic joy. And on going to the house, they saw the Child with Mary His mother, and they fell down and worhshiped Him. Then opening their treasure bags, they presented to Him gifts-gold, frankincense and myrrh

Child should be able to join Lou Athanas Youth Basketball League at any time To the editor, The Lou Athanas League is excluding kids. No organization or League should exclude anyone, especially children, when they are using City of Laconia facilities.

A child should be able to join at anytime, because after all, it is about them!

For at least a month now I have been trying to enroll my 6-year-old grandson in the Lou Athanans Youth Basketball League. The first reason they gave was we were too late. However, we signed a second grandchild up the same day and she was accepted with no problem. The second reason they gave was that rosters were set at 10 players to ensure equal playing time. I guess my math is not what it used to be, I thought that any number was divisible by 10 or 11 players. Finally after weeks, they told us uniforms have already been ordered.

League President Dan Greenwood has failed to return a weeks old email or returned any of my three calls this past week.

I am looking for help and public pressure to open the rosters of the Lou Athanas Youth Basketball League so that all excluded kids can play.

Cheryl Baer

(verses 1-5,8-11 italics added, The Amplified Bible).

Three times in these few verses worthshiped is mentioned. And there were three gifts as well: gold, frankincense and myrrh. How do these gifts connect with worthship? They are also the three symbols of worthship in the original Temple!

Gold has great value that has never depreciated.

It has never been worthless. Gold has been the constant mainstay of value. It is certainly a gift for a king. In the first Temple, the vessels and furnishing for worship in the holy of hollies were made of pure gold. The Ark of the Covenant was covered with pure gold, including the mercy seat where the sacrificial blood was sprinkled. Gold has an eternal quality about it, being found both in heaven and earth.

What is it about you that is eternal? Eternal-ness is in you because God put it in you and it can never be undone. Did you hear that? But sin brought a state of death to our spirits. When we bring our gift of worthship to Jesus our Savior, His gift to us is victory over spiritual death through the gift of eternal life. Praise the Lord!

Why frankincense? Frankincense is an aromatic, milky-white resin extracted from trees. It has been

touted for its medical, soothing, calming, restorative properties, which the ancient world used for depression. In the temple, a frankincense-based incense was burned by the High Priest on the Day of Atonement in the holy of hollies. The aromatic smoke would rise from the incense and the presents of the Lord would appear in the mist of the smoke. Revelations 5:8 says the incense of heaven is the prayers of the saints. And Psalm 22:3 tells us God inhabits such praises.

Now put together with properties of healing and reserving depression. Jesus not only gives us eternal life for our spirits, but also peace for our minds (Isaiah 53:5).

As we bring our gift of worship, our prayers are lifted up into the presence God where we can receive His gift of blessed peace.

Then there was myrrh. It is also a highly fragrant resin produced by a small, scraggly tree in North Africa. Yet, it was considered a wonder-healer because of its strong antiseptic, anti-inflammatory property. The Chinese have used it medicinally for centuries. In the Temple, myrrh was the main ingredient of the anointing oil. This perfumed oil made anything it touched consecrated and holy to God. The see next page

JAIL from page one alternative,” he said, recommending changes in the criminal justice system with an emphasis on “therapeutic justice.”

Maiello has written that inmates of municipal and county represent a transient population, most of whom are released within a few days of their arrest while the remainder serve relatively short sentences. These jails admit and release more than 16-million individuals each year and every month a number equal to those sentenced and discharged from state and federal prisons annually. Consequently, to reduce recidivism and control costs, as well as enhance public safety in the long term, she contends that jails must prepare inmates “to make a successful transition back to the community.”

Apart from providing a safe, secure and compliant environment, Maiello said that the new jail must also have space for substance abuse treatment, behavioral therapy, mental health services, educational programs and vocational training.

The number of beds, Maiello said, is a function of the number of admissions and the average length of stay. She noted that by assessing the risks inmates pose and the treatment they require upon admission can not only match them to appropriate programming, treatment and supervision but also reduce the duration of their incarceration. She projected that with 200 admissions for every 10,000 people and an average length of stay of 35 days, a new facility would require 180 beds, plus five for inmates requiring medical care.

Mailello explained that inmates would be profiled according to some 13 criteria, including gender, risk, offense, and special needs, and separated appropriately.

A third of the beds, divided between 44 for men and 16 for women, would be dedicated to the community corrections program, for inmates awaiting trial, on work release or electronic monitoring and undergoing intensive treatment. The other 120 beds, 88 for men and 32 for women, would be allotted to maximum, medium, and minimum security inmates

as well as those with special needs. A handful of these beds would also be designated for receiving and discharge. The beds would be divided between five housing units, two for men — one with 36 beds and another with 52 beds — and one for women.

“Let’s wipe away everything we see on TV, “ said Ricci. “Modern jails are very complex places, just as complicated as hospitals. You have a captive audience and are responsible for their health, education and welfare.”

He stressed that the design must ensure security by providing clear lines of sight and minimizing the movement of inmates around the facility. For instance, making recreation yards accessible from the dayroom of each housing unit limits movement while offering choice to inmates, who are not compelled to wait for scheduled recreational a centrally located area shared among housing units.

Ricci said that a functional facility with sufficient capacity could be housed in a single story building.

“However,” he added, “it would be 770 feet long. The length of one football field, if you’re the Jets.”

Memory Pill Helps the Brain Like Prescription Glasses Help the Eyes, Claims US Surgeon General Candidate Remarkable changes observed, helps users match the memory power of others 15 years younger in as little as 30 days!

SPOKANE, WASHINGTON – Help is on the way for those who routinely lose their car keys, get lost while driving, forget to call people back, or misplace their TV remote control.

Just like a good pair of glasses can make blurry vision, sharp and crystal-clear, there’s a new, doctor-recommended memory pill that may help your brain, sharpening your memory and mental powers, and making that slow-thinking, sluggish brain as sharp as a tack.

In controlled research studies, the prescription-free formula, known as ProceraAVH® has been shown to increase memory, mood, and mental clarity, but it does much more than that.

scientists observed the formula “biochemically coaxing” aging brains to function more youthfully, helping match the speed, memory abilities and mental powers enjoyed by others who were up to 15 birthdays younger.

Younger-Functioning Brain in 30 Days?

If the results of this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study, published in JANA, a leading peer-reviewed scientific journal, are to be believed, it may be entirely possible that you can get your new, younger-functioning brain in as little as 30 days.

This is old news for Robert Heller, MD, who uses and recommends the formula. “It’s not a drug,” says Dr. Heller, “it’s a nutritional supplement that can TimeTravel help a foggy, sluggish brain forYour Brain?

Neural Pathways, Revitalized!

Three clinically validated brain boosting nutrients in Reynolds’ formula have been shown to “light up aging brains like a Christmas tree.”

Procera revitalizes tired sluggish brains cells with a fresh supply of oxygen and key vital nutrients. Plus, it helps restore depleted neurotransmitters, which may help increase and enhance alertness,concentration,andmemory.

“We included acetyl-lcarnitine, a natural modified amino acid with a proven record of memory enhancement,” says Reynolds.

“It’s the same brain nutrient found in cold-water fish, but you’d have to eat over 20 servings of fish to get what’s in one daily dose of Procera AVH.” The formula also contains vinpocetine, a substance that helps deliver increased oxygen and glucose to your brain. “Vinpocetine helps increase circulation in the brain, so your brain feels more alive, like a breath of fresh air,” says Reynolds.

The third ingredient is huperzine, a potent plant chemical shown to improve learning and memory at all ages. “Students may do better in school when they take it,” adds Reynolds.

“And the US government has been studying huperzine’s neuroprotective powers against the brain-damaging effects of pesticides in food.”

Selwyn Howell credits Reynolds’ memory pill with bolstering his confidence. “It helped me speak out more than I used to. I am growing more confident every day.”

Why, then, would Jesus say in Matthew 26 that the woman who poured the expensive perfume on His head did so as a preparation for His burial? Because the most famous use of myrrh was embalming. In Scripture, it is named one of the burial spices used to bury the Lord Jesus. Jesus was anointed to bear our sins and our sicknesses.

Thus, myrrh represents both the death of Jesus and the healing His death made available to us: “By His wounds you have been made whole” (1Peter 2:24).

As we bring our gift of worship, beyond salvation for our spirits and peace for our souls, the oil of the Holy Ghost brings healing to our bodies.

Gold, frankincense and myrrh. Three gifts.

All symbols of the first Temple. Now we are the temple (1 Corinthians 3:16). So we worship by faith, which is to serve, yield to and recognize His Kingship. We recognize Jesus as the Gift given by the Fatherthe only begotten Son of God-so that anyone that believes can have eternal qualities for his spirit, peace for his soul and healing for his body.

Proposed Gilford school budget dips on par with enrollment

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — The Gilford School Board Monday night approved a $24,098,372 budget for the 20132014 school year, down $44,243 from the current year.

Superintendent of Schools Kent Hemingway said that the budget reflects further staff reductions and that since 2006-07 total staff has declined from 242.3 positions to 220.4, a 9.8 percent decrease which exactly mirrors the reduction in student population over that same period, from 1359 to 1202, a 9.8 percent decrease.

Total personnel reductions this year amount to a savings of $179,000, nearly $67,000 of which is due to the retirement of a classroom teacher at Gilford Elementary School.

Other reductions were nearly $5,000 for a Middle School secretary, $40,852 for drivers education, which is no longer required by the state Department of Education, $18,755 for a food service retirement and $47,650 for benefit savings.

Salaries and benefits increased by $118,755 for Gilford Education Association members due to a voter approved contract increase and a non-contractual increase of $84,193 for support staff and administration which was approved by the school board after no increases had been granted the last two years.

Hemingway said that there are non-discretionary increases of $154,474 for a mandatory state retirement system contribution and $10,000 to make up for a state reduction in vocational aid reimbursement.

Those increases were offset by over $500,000 in

what Hemingway called ‘’good news reductions’’, which included a $344,983 reduction in employee health insurance, $52,125 in lower heating oil purchases, $40,243 for fewer early retirees, $34,425 in interest on debt, $20,551 in dental insurance and $11,189 in disability insurance.

Business Administrator Scott Isabelle said that for the first time Gilford adopted SB-2, the proposed default budget of $23,993,713 is actually lower than the proposed budget of $24,142,615.

He said that a number of factors, including the decrease in health insurance costs, contributed to that change.

The budget now goes to the town Budget Committee, which will take it up when it meets Thursday, night at 6:30 p.m. at the Gilford Town Hall.

NORTHFIELD — Fire and police as well as the New Hampshire Fire Marshal remained on the scene yesterday of a two-alarm fire that sent smoke throughout an eight-unit apartment building Monday night at 10 Dearborn Street.

Tilton-Northfield Fire Chief Brad Ober said the fire was reported at 7:41 p.m. and were told there was fire in the basement and the laundry room.

Firefighters from Franklin joined Tilton-Northfield and soon realized that the fire had extended into a first floor bedroom through a pipe chase.

“The basement had a partial sprinkler system in the laundry and boiler rooms,” Ober said. “Although the sprinklers did not extinguish the fire it did help to contain it.”

Eight families were displaced and the building management worked with them to find temporary housing. Ober said the apartment building was not a total loss and could be rehabilitated.

Tilton-Northfield firefighters were assisted by firefighters from Sanbornton, Belmont, Laconia and Gilford. Belmont and Concord provided station coverage. Tilton, Northfield and N.H. State Police assisted with traffic.

By not building on the site of the existing jail, Ricci said that the county would spare the significant expense of placing and supervising inmates in some sort of temporary facility during construction.

The existing jail would be demolished once the new facility is complete. He said that the facility could be built close enough to country complex to easily share its infrastructure, particularly the kitchen and laundry that serve the nursing home.

Emotional questions arose Tuesday over the published photograph of the helpless man standing before the oncoming train accompanied by the headline that read in part: “This man is about to die.”

The moral issue among professional photojournalists in such situations is “to document or to assist,” said Kenny Irby, an expert in the ethics of visual journalism at the Poynter Institute, a Florida-based nonprofit journalism school.

Other media outlets chimed in on the controversy, many questioning why the photograph had been taken and published. “I’m sorry. Somebody’s on the tracks. That’s not going to help,” said Al Roker on NBC’s “Today” show as the photo was displayed.

CNN’s Soledad O’Brien tweeted: “I think it’s terribly disturbing — imagine if that were your father or brother.” Larry King reached out to followers on Twitter to ask: “Did the (at)nypost go too far?”

Subway pushes are feared but fairly unusual.

Among the more high-profile cases was the January 1999 death of Kendra Webdale, shoved her to her death by a former mental patient.

BELCHER from page 2 spokesman Darin Snapp said Tuesday. When police approached the car, Belcher got out of the vehicle and was cooperative, Snapp said.

“We ask him ‘Why are you sleeping here?’, and he says he’s there to visit his girlfriend, but she’s not home,” Snapp said.

When police determined Belcher didn’t have any outstanding warrants, Snapp said Belcher, 25, made a phone call and a short time later, a woman let Belcher into her building. Police did not question the woman and don’t know who she is, he said.

“When he was sleeping she may have come home, and he didn’t realize,” Snapp said. “He was very cooperative and thanked the officers.”

Snapp said that was the last contact police had with Belcher “until his name came up” with the shooting at his home.

Witnesses have since told police that Belcher stayed at that apartment until 6:30 a.m., Snapp said.

At about 7:50 a.m., police were called to Belcher’s home after he had shot and killed Perkins, whose body was found on the floor of the master bathroom with multiple gunshot wounds, according to a police incident report.

Belcher then drove about five miles to Arrowhead Stadium, where he was met by general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel, who Belcher thanked for all they had done for him. When police arrived, Belcher moved behind a vehicle, out of clear view of officers, Snapp said. He said Belcher then knelt down and shot himself once in the head.

Snapp said Belcher also used two separate, legally registered handguns in the shootings.

Friends have said the relationship between Belcher and Perkins was strained.

LACONIA — A Main Street man was ordered held on $5,000 cash bail for allegedly assaulting a person in a Kentfield Court residence. He is charged with one count of simple assault and one count of criminal trespass.

Police said Michael A. Saritelli, 40, of 613 Main St. allegedly went into an apartment at 11 Kentfield Court at 10:37 a.m. on Monday without the permission of the owner and then refused to leave.

Police said he fled on foot after one of the residents sprayed him with mace. Police found him a few blocks away and arrested him.

Saritelli is scheduled for a video arraignment this morning at 10 a.m. in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division.

Saritelli was arrested over the summer on one count of simple assault after he and his former girlfriend got into a fight in the tent where they were living in woods near White Oaks Road.

During that altercation, his girlfriend allegedly stabbed him with a steak knife because she said he was hitting her.

Laconia Police were called to the scene the next day when the two, apparently reconciled, went together to Shaw’s Supermarket where one of them called for an ambulance.

Police recovered the knife and Saritelli was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital where he was treated for a knife wound to his arm and released.

Police said yesterday’s incident is still under investigation and ask anyone with any information to call the Laconia Police Department at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

State drops Silver Lake mean high water mark by 2 feet

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — After reassessing the natural mean high water mark (NMHWM) of Silver Lake, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) on Friday announced it was 466 feet, two feet below the level applied for the past three decades.

The agency detailed its findings in a report submitted to the Legislature last week. Jim Gallagher, chief of the Dam Bureau at DES, who oversaw the preparation of the report, said that on the strength of the analysis of new evidence the agency will revise its records to indicate that 466 feet is the accurate NMHWM of Silver Lake.

Paul O’Connell of the Silver Lake Association said that he has some questions about the methodology and findings of the report and preferred to reserve judgment until they answered.

The state holds all surface waters in public trust and, for lakes of 10 acres or more, owns not only the water but also the land beneath it. The boundary between private property and the public trust is defined by the NMHWM. The NMHWM refers to a line on shore left by the common and usual rise and fall of water, marked by such physical characteristics such as shelving of the bank and changes in the type of soil and species of vegetation.

The issue first arose in 2004 when town officials informed residents submitting site plans and seeking building permits that according to DES the NMHWM was 468 feet. At 468 feet, some 125 property owners at Silver Lake found that between one foot and 49 feet of their lots belonged to the state, depending on the slope of the shoreline, and some found their homes completely surrounded by water.

O’Connell estimated that the issues affecting many, but not all, shorefront property owners would from preceding page Newhook who was pulling a suitcase near the home.

Police said Newhook refused to take his left hand out of his sweater pocket and kept making furtive moves inside his pocket. When the supervisor attempted to detain him, Newhook pulled away and ran.

Two officers chased him through a neighbor’s yard and one of the officers took him to the ground.

Police found a glass pipe with material consistent with marijuana use as well as a metal grinder in his suitcase. He was held over the weekend on cash bail.

Newhook is charged with possession of marijuana and resisting arrest.

be resolved by lowering the NMHWM by two feet.

“It all depends on the slope of their lot,” he said.

The Silver Lake Association petitioned DES to reconsider its decision. Determining the NMHWM of Silver Lake is especially challenging since it has been a managed water body where flows and levels have been regulated since the construction of the Lakeport Dam and Lochmere Dam 160 and 102 years ago respectively.

Following an extensive study, in 2008 DES reaffirmed its original determination of 468 feet.

The association appeals and when its appeals were denied, turned to the Legislature. Senator Jim Forsythe (R-Strafford) introduced legislation to establish the natural mean high water mark at 465 feet. At the hearing on the bill, the association presented photographs taken upstream of the Lochmere Dam during the biannual drawdown of Lake Winnisquam that revealed stumps of mature trees in the riverbed, which are covered by water during normal flows. The photographs suggested that natural water levels before the Winnipesauke River was dammed were below 468 feet and prompted DES to undertake a fresh study and report its findings to the Legislature.

In October, during the drawdown, DES conducted a second field study, beginning with plotting the location, measuring the elevation and identifying the species of the stumps. Of the ten stumps, eight — two red oaks and six white pines — remained of trees that typically grow in upland surroundings, not in standing water or saturated soil. The average elevation of the stumps was measured at 476.74 feet, which represented the shoreline of the river in its natural condition before the Lochmere Dam was built.

The next step was to determine the flow rate that would reach the elevation of the stumps or the shoreline of the river. Using a model developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the flow rate was calculated at 1,110 cubic feet per second (cfs). With the flow at Lochmere of 1,110 cfs, the corresponding flow rate downstream at the Tilton streamgauge was estimated by multiplying the flow at Lochmere by a factor of 1.108, which represents the ratio of the drainage area of the Winnipesaukee River at Tilton — 417 square miles — to its counterpart at Lochmere — 425 square miles. Therefore, when the river reaches the elevation of the stumps — 476.74 feet — the flow at the Tilton gauge is 1,230 cfs. When the flow rate at Tilton is 1,230 cfs, the water level at Silver Lake would be about 466 feet.

“Relying solely on the evidence provided by the stumps,” the report reads, “the NMHWM of Silver Lake would be 466 feet.”

ISRAEL from page 2 — as a non-member observer.

The plans include 3,000 more homes for Jews in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, as well as preparations for construction of an especially sensitive project near Jerusalem, known as E-1.

Separately, Israel is moving forward with two major settlement projects in east Jerusalem. Israel would build more than 4,200 apartments in the two areas, Ramat Shlomo and Givat Hamatos.

Israeli settlement construction lies at the heart of a four-year breakdown in peace talks, and was a major factor behind the Palestinians’ U.N. statehood bid. Since 1967, half a million Israelis have settled in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

The Israeli plans for Jerusalem and nearby West Bank areas “are the most dangerous in the history of settlement expansion and apartheid,” Abbas and senior members of the PLO and his Fatah movement said in a statement after a meeting Tuesday evening.

The Palestinians decided to ask the Security Council for a resolution censuring Israeli settlement building, even though a previous attempt in early 2011 was derailed by a U.S. veto.

The Palestinians say E-1 and Givat Hamatos are particularly problematic because they would cut off east Jerusalem, the intended Palestinian capital, from the rest of the West Bank.

Israel’s plans for E-1 and Givat Hamatos “will leave us with no peace process,” Saeb Erekat, a senior Abbas aide, told The Associated Press.

He later told Israel TV that “it’s over” if these two settlements are built.

“Don’t talk about peace, don’t talk about a twostate solution ... talk about a one-state reality between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean,” Erekat said, referring to the land that the international community hopes will one day accommodate both Israel and a Palestinian state.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague sounded a similar warning Tuesday, telling Britain’s parliament that Israel’s building plans would make a Palestinian state alongside Israel “almost inconceivable.”

Eight countries, Britain among them, summoned local Israeli ambassadors in protest since Monday, and Hague said there could be further diplomatic steps if building continues.

Some Palestinian officials have raised the possibility of asking the European Union to reconsider its trade agreements with Israel, but Hague said he did not think Europe is ready for economic sanctions against Israel.

Israel has rebuffed the international criticism, which put it at odds with some of its strongest foreign allies, including Australia.

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Tuesday that construction plans would move forward, particularly in east Jerusalem and nearby West Bank settlements. “Israel makes decisions according to its national interests, and not in order to punish, fight or confront,” he said.

S A N T A ‘ S L I S T

Edelman latest to catch Patriots’ injury bug FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Rob Gronkowski broke his forearm. Chandler Jones injured his ankle.

Logan Mankins hurt his hip, calf and ankle.

Now Julian Edelman is out for the season. The dangerous punt returner and elusive wide receiver was placed on injured reserve with a foot injury by the New England Patriots on Tuesday.

The ailments keep piling up.

But so do the wins.

The Patriots’ sixth straight victory last Sunday clinched first place in the AFC East. But things don’t get easier. That streak, in fact, will be on the line Monday against the Houston Texans (11-1).

Like all teams, the Patriots (9-3) try to build depth. So, when a starter is sidelined, they can rely on his backup to fill in effectively, even if it means playing a different role. That happened at tight end when Gronkowski, the Patriots’ outstanding pass catcher and blocker, missed the past two games with a broken left forearm— with the likelihood he’ll miss at least two more.

The good news in that tight-end equation is that Aaron Hernandez, their other star tight end, is back

after missing six games with a sprained right ankle.

One up, one down.

“Every player has some different strengths and so forth and you try to play to those guys’ strengths,” quarterback Tom Brady said. “I don’t think you go into it and you say . there’s only one Rob Gronkowski; there’s only one of those in the league.

“The guys that are going to be in there playing that role, (they) have to go in there and do the best they can do. That’s why they’re on the team and that’s why we have 53 guys on the roster, so everybody can contribute at one point or another.”

Trevor Scott did that at defensive end with two sacks in Sunday’s 23-16 win at Miami. Scott stepped in when Jones, a rookie who is tied for the team lead with six sacks, missed his second game, and his primary backup, Jermaine Cunningham, began a fourgame suspension for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.

On the other side of the ball, Donald Thomas has filled in at left guard for Mankins, who was sidelined five of the past six games.

Shortfall from hospital tax puts $48M hole in state cash flow CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire is looking at a big revenue hole in November after hospitals paid $48 million less in taxes than expected.

Administrative Services Commissioner Linda Hodgdon said Tuesday that the state got $49 million less than expected last month and the $48 million accounted for all but $1 million of it. She said the state expects to receive some of the $48 million, but

it is unclear how much.

The state taxes hospitals on net patient revenues.

The hospitals did not question the guidelines used to determine what was taxable until the current budget was passed last year that cut state payments to hospitals. Ten hospitals are suing the state over the cuts.

The state took in $146 million in November instead of the $195 million it expected.

Woodstove ashes said to have caused fatal fire in Tuftonboro TUFTONBORO (AP) — New Hampshire fire investigators say a fatal house fire in Tuftonboro last month was caused by ashes that had been discarded from a woodstove.

The fire broke out the night of Nov. 16 while a couple was sleeping.

Fire officials said Tuesday that the man, Richard Cary, tried to put out the fire while Deborah Cary

remained in the home to get clothing and other items.

The fire rapidly consumed the building.

Deborah Cary’s body was found inside the home after the fire . The state medical examiner’s office say she died of smoke inhalation.

Fire officials recommend that homeowners call 911 immediately when a fire is discovered and avoid trying to fight the fire themselves.

LITTLETON (AP) — A New Hampshire man taking care of some horses has been charged with five counts of animal cruelty.

David Yeargle of Littleton was arrested Friday on a warrant. Police said the 40-year-old Yeargle negligently and without lawful authority deprived five horses of necessary care while they were in his possession.

The Caledonian-Record reports he was released

on $10,000 personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to be in court on Jan. 8.

His arrest comes two weeks after animal rescue volunteers confiscated 18 of 23 full-size and miniature horses on the property. Yeargle was told to sign over the horses to a rescue farm or face charges.

Authorities and rescue volunteers said they found the animals lacking food and access to fresh water and standing in mud and manure.

His army career led him to Midland, Texas, where he began working for Texaco on the TexasNew Mexico pipeline as a draftsman. He worked for Texaco for over 50 years, eventually winning an

award as a Petroleum Pioneer for his time at the company. Leon retired at the age of 74 in Hobbs, New Mexico. Leon was very involved with his church in Hobbs, New Mexico, Taylor Memorial Baptist Church, where he served as an usher for many years. He also worked with the senior adults. Leon recently became a member of Matthew Road Baptist Church in Grand Prairie, TX. Leon would go out and feed the birds first thing every morning. Birds from all around would flock to his yard and if he was ever late getting outside to feed them, the birds would come and knock on his kitchen window to bring him out! Leon was a quiet man, who enjoyed wearing western clothes, and collecting stamps, coins and boy-scout badges. He has been married to his wife Virginia Jo for the past 45 years.

Leon is survived by his wife, Virginia Jo Clark, son, Hilton Clark of Austin, step-daughter, Nancy (Kearney) Kissinger of Silsbee, step-daughter, Lynne (Marcus) Walraven, step-son, Marshall Whitmire of Coupland, and step-son, Michael Whitmire of Georgetown.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis know.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Most changes are not really for the better, but for the “different.” So don’t worry too much about how things will turn out.

Instead, appreciate what’s new about them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You will perfect the art of half-relaxing.

You’ll be loose enough to enjoy yourself, but sharp enough to spring into action and handle whatever needs it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Love makes you do embarrassing things that for some reason you are not embarrassed by at the time of action. Later, you may be surprised at decisions made under the influence of amore.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Words can be tricky. Speaking the same native tongue doesn’t always mean that you speak the same language. Someone will be confused by communication that makes perfect sense to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you’re indecisive, you risk that someone else will nab the success you hope to achieve. And yet, it is more foolish to act when you’re unsure. Trust and wait.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 5). Your mental vision is magical. You’ll dream of a different kind of life, and there’s no reason to limit yourself; barriers dissolve over the next 10 weeks. Someone makes an investment in you in January.

You’ll improve your health and strength in February. A special honor for your hard work comes in May. Cancer and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 1, 33 and 25.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Small actions matter. So if you really don’t know how to make a big decision at this point, maybe it’s not a big decision you need to make. Minor improvements will completely freshen up your scene.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have the witty repartee, the puttogether look and the stylish ride. Or if you don’t, it seems to other people that this is the case, so enjoy their envious attention.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a complicated balance of power where you work. That’s the reason why some people don’t accept blame that’s clearly theirs to deal with. Think over your next move before you make it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Dreams that stretch your mind will help you prepare for tomorrow’s new moon.

Imagine a life outside of today’s norms.

New eyes make all things possible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Strange opportunities arise. When you feel like saying “no,” just say it. Settling for anything you’re offered is unwise for one so busy creating a bright tomorrow of your specifications.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Impossible demands may be made of you today. You can’t magically conjure up what you don’t have, but you can ask around to see whether anyone will help you out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll show up and touch base, share ideas and swap resources. You’ll offer support both tangible and intangible. Your friends and colleagues will be reminded why you’re such a good person to

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Dec. 5, the 340th day of 2012. There are 26 days left in the year.

Lakes Region Singers doubling up on Christmas concert schedule this year GILFORD — What’s better than one Christmas concert? Why, two, of course! The Lakes Region Singers, a well-known community choral group, has expanded their calendar to include an afternoon performance on Sunday, Dec. 23, at 2 p.m., as well as the traditional evening performance on Friday, Dec. 21, at 7:30 p.m.

“Since our last two audiences packed the church and overflowed into the hallways, we thought adding an afternoon time would not only avoid overcrowding but also might help those who prefer daytime activities to enjoy us, too,” said Director Karen Jordan.

Both concerts will take place at the First United Methodist Church on Route 11-A in Gilford, and will include programs by both Youth Chorus and Adult Chorus. A suggested donation of $8 per person or $15 per family (parents & children) will be taken at the door to help cover expenses.

There will be a reception with homemade refreshments at intermission on Friday night only. The Sunday performance will have no intermission but will include an impromptu visit from Santa.

The performance will feature sparkling new treatments of traditional carols such as “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day,” “I Wish You Christmas,”

and “Deck the Halls.” It will also offer more serious pieces like “Herself a Rose,” “Holy Night,” and “He Is Born,” plus dynamic versions of Christmas pops such as “Winter Wonderland” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

The youth chorus will perform “Merry Christmas,

Merry Christmas” from Home Alone 2, “We Need a Little Christmas” from Mame, and the Spanish Carol, “Duermete.” They will also combine with the adult chorus for “ I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day,” which will feature the Hallelujah Bell Choir.

Some of the tunes will showcase special talents: the group’s accompanist Kelly Cleveland with Betty Welch on four-hand piano, Alison Witham on flute, Phil Breton on oboe, and Rev. Vicki Wood Parrish on percussion.

Directed by Karen Jordan of Laconia, the Lakes Region Singers have been entertaining this area with winter and spring concerts since 1992. The youth chorus for singers aged 7-13 has expanded to 11 members this year, and the adult chorus now consists of 50 dedicated community voices.

“We are so pleased to see our group expanding, both in the numbers of performers and in the audiences we reach,” said Jordan. “Our future plans include some street caroling in Meredith on Thursday, Dec. 13, at 5-7 p.m., in conjunction with the community tour of artists’ studios that day. And next year you may even see us performing at additional venues. Good things are happening here in the Lakes Region, and we hope you will join us either Friday night or Sunday afternoon for a joyous holiday celebration.”

‘ESSence of Giving’ holiday event held at Senior Moment-um dinner & movie Elm Street School on Saturday morning

LACONIA — Elm Street School will feature a new holiday event this year, “The ESSence of Giving”, which will be held on Saturday, December 8, from 8 a.m. to noon and will provide ESS students with an opportunity to select and gift-wrap Christmas gifts for their family members and loved ones.

GILFORD — Gilford Parks and Recreation in conjunction with the Gilford Middle School Performing Arts is sponsoring a Dinner and Theatre evening for participants of the Senior Momentum Program on Wednesday, Dec.12.

Participants will meet in the Gilford High School Lobby at 5 p.m. to enjoy a dinner of homemade clam chowder with corn bread, beer bread and lemon poppy muffins. Following the

Due to the overwhelming support and generosity of the community, there will be plenty of age appropriate gifts for the children to select from, which they will be able to do at their own pace. Hot cocoa and light snacks will be provided for the parents as they wait in another room so as not to spoil the surprise.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, December 5, 2012— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am perplexed as to what to do. I’m positive that my wife was a victim of incest, but I don’t know how to broach the subject or how to help her.

Her sister manifests similar problems that I’ve heard are caused by rape by one’s father. But I don’t have any hard evidence, only a hunch. What can I do? How do you open such a discussion? -- G. Dear G.: Signs of incest do not distinguish between abuse by one’s father as opposed to one’s uncle, brother, stepparent or other trusted relative or friend. Signs can include flashbacks, nightmares, memory issues, anxiety disorders, self-mutilation, an inability to form relationships, sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, and drug or alcohol abuse, among others.

We don’t know what specifically makes you believe your wife and her sister have been victims of incest, but please contact RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656-HOPE for additional information and assistance.

Dear Annie: I am 55 and the oldest of three siblings. We had a close, happy family until my father died unexpectedly six years ago. After the funeral, I saw my mother sitting with my sister, “Nina,” and her insurance agent, having everything changed to Nina’s name. It used to be in mine.

My mother is of completely sound mind. Since Dad passed, however, she has allowed Nina to control her life. My sister handles all of her finances and won’t discuss them with my brother or me. Although Mom and I used to go places together, she now won’t get in my car for any reason, not even to attend church.

Nina’s family has my mother buffaloed into thinking they are the only ones who care about her. My brother and I feel like outcasts. Unlike Nina, we are quite successful and don’t

need anything from Mom. I love my mother, Annie, but she pushes me away. This morning, I went to have tea with her, as I do every day, and she was whispering into the phone to Nina with her hand over her mouth so I wouldn’t overhear. I try to remain a good daughter, but my feelings are so hurt. I know Nina would love it if I stopped visiting. Why would a parent choose a favorite like this? -- Used To Be Her Daughter Dear Used To Be: While you say your mother is of “sound mind,” you could be wrong. The sudden death of her husband could have sent her into a tailspin of depression, anxiety and confusion. Your sister exploited this, but Mom may have been so grateful that Nina took over that she submitted totally and now fears alienating her in any way.

When you visit Mom for morning tea, please talk to her about this. Don’t mention Nina, which will turn it into a competition and force Mom to defend your sister. Simply tell her you love her and worry that she is pushing you away. Ask how to improve your relationship so it doesn’t disintegrate.

Dear Annie: “Mike’s” letter explaining how important interaction is with a terminal cancer patient made me weep for all the times I did nothing. Thank you so much for printing it.

Caregivers of those patients should be urged to use hospice as soon as the inevitable is made known. I lost my husband to cancer 12 years ago. I thought I should do everything myself for as long as I could, but now I know that hospice would have made it so much easier for him, as well as for me. Hospice staff know exactly what to do and when to do it. Sorry to say, there were times when I did not. -- Moving Forward Now
