GHS could be in line for limited cell phone use trial and to give that policy a trial run in early 2012.

The idea was first floated

by School Board Chair Kurt Webber at a meeting several months ago, at which point he suggested that the district could take a fresh look at modern communication devices

GILFORD — Several members of the High School’s Student Council persuaded the School Board last night to consider creating a policy that would allow limited student use of cell phones at school,

LACONIA — The Belknap County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the death of an inmate found unconscious and unresponsive in his cell at the Belknap County Jail at approximate 11:10 p.m. on Saturday.

Raul Arizmendi, 39, of Laconia has reported to the county jail earlier Saturday evening to begin serving a sentence for simple assault. He was alone in a single cell when a correcsee INMate page 13

Student Council President Rachel Sanborn and Vice President Koko Clarke were joined

Climate on ‘Goldilocks’ planet could be just right to support life

WASHINGTON (AP) — A newly discovered planet is eerily similar to Earth and is sitting outside our solar system in what seems to be the ideal place for life, except for one hitch.

It’s a bit too big.

The planet is smack in the middle of what astronomers call the Goldilocks zone, that hard to find place that’s not too hot, not too cold, where water, which is essential for life, doesn’t freeze or boil. And it has a shopping mall-like surface temperature of near 72 degrees, scientists say.

The planet’s confirmation was announced Monday by NASA along with other discoveries by its Kepler telescope, which was launched on a planet-hunting mission in 2009.

That’s the first planet confirmed in the habitable zone for Kepler, which had already found Earth-like rocky planets elsewhere.

Twice before astronomers have announced a planet found in that zone, but neither have been as promising. see PLANET page 11

Postal Service cutbacks mean slight delay in 1st class delivery NEW YORK (AP) — Utility bills are paid, legal briefs are filed and the Christmas shopping all gets done online. But for magazines, clothing catalogues and movies, the mail still matters.

For some mail-dependent businesses, quick and cheap first-class mail service from the U.S. Postal Service is still the best way to reach prospective customers and subscribers. And for many, it’s still an important way to get paid.

The Postal Service, which has been losing money for five years, said Monday

that it is shuttering more than 200 mail processing centers, adding at least a day’s wait for many first-class deliveries. The news was met with concern and frustration from some businesses — and shrugs from others that long ago stopped relying on the post office.

“It’s less of a disaster than it would have been 10 years ago, but it’ll be a cash flow crunch for some companies,” said Todd McCracken, president and chief executive of the National Small Business Association. “It’ll be longer to get your invoice, and

longer to get a check back.”

First-class mail is supposed to arrive at U.S. homes and businesses in one to three days; about 42 percent of it arrives in one day. The cutbacks will back up deliveries to two to three days; periodicals could take up to nine days.

Cookie Driscoll of Fairfield, Pa., designs and sells decorative animal stickers to gift shops. She uses the Postal Service for almost all deliveries because prices are low and predictable, and delivery is fast. She see POST OFFICE page 8

16,000 more Holocaust victims to receive pensions from Germany

NEW YORK (AP) — After a year of tough negotiations, Germany has agreed to pay pensions to about 16,000 additional Holocaust victims worldwide — mostly survivors who were once starving children in Nazi ghettos, or were forced to live in hiding for fear of death.

The agreement announced Monday between the New York-based Claims Conference and the German government is

“not about money — it’s about Germany’s acknowledgment of these people’s suffering,” said Greg Schneider, the conference’s executive vice president.

“They’re finally getting recognition of the horrors they endured as children,” he told The Associated Press.

Of the new beneficiaries, 5,000 live in the United States.

However, part of the agreement does not

immediately cover survivors who were young Jewish children born in 1938 or later.

“We will continue to press for greater liberalizations to ensure that no Holocaust survivor is deprived of the recognition that each deserves,” Stuart Eizenstat, special negotiator for the conference, said in a statement.

“That’s why we continue to negotiate,” see HOLOCAUST page 14

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A man who accused former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine of molesting him admitted Monday that he sexually abused a boy in Maine.

Zach Tomaselli of Lewiston said Monday that he sexually abused the boy when the

victim was 13 and 14. Tomaselli said he knew the boy and also worked as a counselor at a camp he attended.

Tomaselli has pleaded not guilty to 11 charges but said he anticipates that he’ll plead guilty in Superior Court and that a plea bargain, which includes prison time,

is on the table. “I don’t really see any other way at this point,” he said.

Tomaselli, 23, became the third man to level sexual abuse allegations against Fine when he told police in Syracuse that Fine first molested him in a Pittsburgh see SYRACUSE page 15

Littleton Coin Company discovers FAA chief on leave after drunk driving arrest 5-ton stash of mint ‘Ike’ coins in vault CONCORD(AP) — A New Hampshire-based coin dealer has acquired a 5-ton stash of more than 220,000 rare Eisenhower $1 coins that were tucked away in a Montana bank vault for more than 30 years.

Littleton Coin Company has not disclosed the price, but it said Monday that the coins, most in sealed canvas bags from the U.S. Mint in Denver, are worth well over $1 million. Littleton plans to start offering them for sale next year.

The coins were shipped from the U.S. Mint during the 1970s to a Federal Reserve bank. A Montana man who does not want his name released bought and stored them in a local bank in Helena, where they sat until several months ago.

The “Ike” coins were minted from 1971 until 1978. The front shows President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who died in 1969, and the back commemorates man’s first steps on the moon, also that year.

The coins themselves were not widely circulated, said Ken Westover, senior buyer for the 66-year-old coin company in northern New Hampshire. Many people held onto them as a tribute to Eisenhower, the nation’s 34th president and the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during World War II, just like they did with half-dollar coins of President John F. Kennedy, first minted in 1964.

“Because this coin was so large and heavy, it was considered inconve-

nient to carry around in your pocket,” Westover said. “A lot were used in gambling.”

David Lange, research director of the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, a coin-grading organization in Sarasota, Fla., said that outside of casinos and a few western states, the coin had never really been popular with the public.

“They always preferred paper money over dollar coins,” he said.

Westover called the “Ike” coin the “last of the large-size coins.” Before it was made, the last $1 coin, minted from 1921 to 1935, was the Peace dollar, which was made of mostly silver. The Eisenhower coins were referred to as “silver dollar” coins, but they were made mostly of copper and nickel, like others.

The acquired stash sits in more than 200 bags in denominations of $1,000. Stretched from end to end, the company says, the coins would be longer than 77 football fields and stack higher than the Empire State Building.

“They haven’t been handled a lot,” Westover said. “The overall quality of these coins is quite nice.”

John Hennessey, vice president of marketing for Littleton, estimated the price range per coin will be from $10 to more than several hundred dollars, depending on their condition.

“Ike dollars, even worn ones, bring a slight premium already, and of course uncirculated ones are very popular with collectors,” Lange said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt was placed on a leave of absence Monday as Department of Transportation officials decide how to handle Babbitt’s weekend arrest on charges of drunken driving in suburban northern Virginia.

DOT officials are in “discussions with legal counsel about Administrator Babbitt’s employment status,” said a statement released by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s office

Monday afternoon.

The Federal Aviation Administration is part of the Transportation Department. Babbitt is about halfway through a five-year term.

Babbitt, 65, was charged with driving while intoxicated after a patrol officer spotted him driving on the wrong side of the street and pulled him over about 10:30 p.m. EST Saturday in Fairfax City, Va., police in the Washington, D.C., suburb said.

Search for missing Georgia girl turns up body in trash CANTON, Ga. (AP) — A body found in a trash container is believed to be that of a 7-year-old girl who went missing last week from an apartment complex playground north of Atlanta, authorities said Monday.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman John Bankhead said that “everything points to it being” Jorelys Rivera of Canton. Bankhead said officials were awaiting results of an autopsy to confirm the identity and a cause of death.

Bankhead told The Associated Press the body appeared to have been severely beaten and sexually assaulted. He said the girl’s mother had been notified.

No suspects were in custody as of

Monday night, authorities said.

The girl’s mother returned to the apartment complex early Monday evening. Crying, the woman entered the family’s apartment without speaking to reporters and a family friend asked for privacy.

The child was last seen around 5 p.m.

Friday at the River Ridge apartments in Canton, about 40 miles north of Atlanta, Canton police Detective Candy Worthy said. The girl was at the playground with a teenage baby sitter. The girl had gone back to her apartment to get sodas for friends when she disappeared, authorities said.

Authorities brought in a specialized team of law officers trained to handle see BODY page 13

Man who escaped from Carroll County jail still at large SANFORD, Maine (AP) — Residents of several southern Maine communities remain on edge as police search for a New Hampshire jail escapee who’s considered armed and dangerous.

Authorities said Monday that there have been no confirmed sightings of 33-year-old David Glenn Hobson since the weekend discovery of a stolen SUV near the Sanford-Alfred-Lyman town lines. Blood inside the vehicle

suggests Hobson was injured Thursday while scaling a razor wire fence at the jail in Ossipee, N.H. On Monday, state and local police and U.S. marshals executed search warrants at two homes belonging to relatives in Sanford. Hobson’s father was previously accused of leaving supplies.

Police believe Hobson may have headed to the area with the intent of injuring two people, and there’s a heavy police presence in the area.

Wanted: strong, experienced manager Management is preventing things from happening, that you don’t want to happen. That is crucial to success in any enterprise. In our government, the number one manager is the President of the United States.

That job is being sought after by the incumbent, and by a number of Republicans, Libertarians, and Tea Party members. Along the way, we may also see some Democrats, liberals, and progressives decide they also want to enter the contest. To all, it appears that their number one priority will be jobs; getting people back to work.

The job of our nation’s manager however, will be severely tested well beyond jobs creation. There will be a number of issues that we “don’t want to happen”. For example, the next president will be presented with enormous international problems.

— Russia, with its huge geography, its newfound capitalism, and its high value oil and natural gas resources, has a diminishing population. That diminishment will make it difficult for Russia to defend its geography, its resources, and its people. To be sure, Russia will try to reconstitute the former Soviet Union, under some other name or structure, simply to get the bodies needed to defend itself and to hold on to its resources.

— China has also found capitalism and has been moving people from farms to factories to fill the jobs that are fueling their economic growth.

Along the way, they have become aggressive in building their military might, employing all the latest technologies in weaponry and technology.

China has been manipulating its currency and that has helped in fueling its rapid growth. The United States is indebted to China for about $1.2-trillion. Of great concern for the president-elect will be whether or not our country will honor its treaty to defend Taiwan. China claims ownership of that island country and is exerting pressure to prohibit the United States from selling aircraft and arms to it. Beyond that is the question of what do we do if China decides to go to war in an effort to take back that island nation/rogue state?

— North Korea has unstable leadership, has nuclear and missile capabilities, and is strongly influenced by Mainland China. North Korea may decide to cross the 38th Parallel into South Korea, and break the truce that has existed since 1953. Such an action, if it were to happen, might well be a diversion instigated by Mainland China if and when they decide to take action against Taiwan.

— Iran continues its march towards nuclear weapons and, as has been recently shown, they have been brazen enough to plan an attempt on the life of the Saudi

Ambassador, right here in the United States. Iran has openly stated they want to annihilate the state of Israel. Complicating the Iran/Middle East issue is that Iran is Shiite Muslim and Saudi Arabia is Sunni Muslim. It appears that Iran not only wants to defeat Israel and the west, it wants to conquer the Sunni as well.

— NATO may be a paper tiger, unable to provide its own defense without the resources and weaponry being provided by the United States. France and other NATO countries took the lead in providing “no fly” support to the Tunisian rebels, and it was they who drew the United States into that effort.

Somewhat amazingly, after only a brief time in providing that support, our NATO allies were running out of ammunition. That sorry state of affairs is a clear acknowledgement that Europe has invested far too little in its own defense. Their vulnerability is our problem. Or is it?

— Israel is our one true ally in the Middle East. That tiny country has been under attack, or under siege, since it was founded in 1948. The current president, or the presidentelect, will surely be confronted with enormously difficult decisions as we know of Iran’s stated desires to destroy that country, and we have already seen indications that what is to come out of the “Arab spring” is additional hostility towards Israel, as Egypt seems intent on abrogating the Egypt/Israeli peace treaty that has existed since 1979.

— Venezuela is continuing to foment unrest in the southern hemisphere, has made strong alliances with Russia, Iran and China, and has been courting other South American countries in an effort to diminish the influence of the United States in that region.

— Mexico is unable to manage its own citizenry and appears to continually be at the mercy of drug cartels who find it easier to kill than to convince. At some point, sooner than later, the manager in chief is going to have to take some reciprocal action to curb what is being inflicted on this country.

These are the more obvious challenges that will face our incoming manager in chief. There will be others yet unforeseen. Can we face these challenges with an all volunteer military, or will we need to reinstitute the draft? Can we face these potential challenges as a nation united, or will we continue the processes of dividing our citizenry, pitting one against another through political posturing?

We need to be careful about the person we select to be our president. Strength of character will be a must. A person of compassion see next page

LETTERS Overnight parking, year-around, became major concern for church To the editor, It is my understanding that the paper has received a communication from an individual who is upset because of our new parking lot management policy. While I understand his situation and appreciate his dilemma, my decision is based on what is in the best interest of the parish. People are certainly welcome to use the lot any day, from Sunday noon until Saturday afternoon, as long as it is only during the daytime and we are not dealing with a snowstorm.

This new policy is the end result of a long deliberative process.

1. I have been a priest for 39 years, and a pastor (responsible for church property) for over 25 of them. In each of my assignments, I have had to deal with parking lot issues. Things like pavement damage from oil changes or jack stands, gouges from ramps, abandoned cars, stolen cars, drug commerce, vandalism, teen parties, …, the list goes on.

2. Upon my assignment to St. Mary’s, several leading parish members (including the man who does the plowing) pleaded with me to do something about the cars that are there at Mass times, overnight and during snowstorms. They cited a case last year when a car was left in the lot the entire winter, and the owner refused to move it in the spring because it had four flat tires and the engine would not start.

3. During the two recent snowstorms (October and November), I personally observed vehicles right in the middle of the lot, which the plow had to dodge.

Once the lot was cleared, they cleaned the snow off their cars and drove off, leaving the mess for someone else. We had to get our contractor to come back and clean up after them. This happened after both storms.

4. When we reduced the number of weekend masses, the attendance at each mass predictably increased. We now need all of our spaces to accommodate those who attend Mass. Parking spaces are at a premium.

5. Out of consideration for those who are inconvenienced by cars parked in front of their homes during services, we decided to allow our neighbors to use the lot when we do not need it. We would normally need it only on Saturday night and Sunday morning.

6. Overnight parking is a problem not only during snow season. I know of few municipal or private (not for pay) parking lots that allow overnight parking. In our case, inadequate lighting, insurance liability and the risk of inappropriate behavior make overnight parking unacceptable, particularly since there is no one at the rectory to monitor the area.

To date, I have received only one concern over this policy.

I hope this information helps you understand why we established the policy and what we hope to achieve.

We strive to be good neighbors to all those around St. Mary of the Assumption Church.

If you need further clarification, please let me know.

Rev. Raymond E. Gagnon, pastor St. Mary of the Assumption Church Tilton

What sort of imbecile would pull out all of these bird houses?

To the editor, Why? This is just a quick note of thanks to a very special kind of person. It was discovered this fall that a mean- spirited and selfish cretin went through the trouble and took the time to pull out ALL the bird houses and poles that were located throughout the field of the Andrew Sanborn Farm property in Belmont. This property was purchased by the town as conservation lands and set aside for the use and enjoyment of its citizens. The bird houses were constructed and installed by a Boy Scout as part of a project to

attain his Eagle Scout status that involved a number of hours of planning and very hard work.

I feel anger, disgust, bewilderment and a degree of sadness because of this outrageous, inconsiderate, and thoughtless action. At a time when volunteer projects are so important in saving tax dollars, what sort of imbecile would do this? What did they feel they accomplished by doing it?

I am at a complete loss to understand why it was done.

LETTERS Ironic that world’s economy now depends on flood’s orgy of death To the editor, “And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the face of the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.” (Genesis 7:23) People today are concerned about the eventual depletion of the oil and coal supplies of the world. The economics of all the world”s nations are largely dependent upon these “fossil fuels,” as they are called. And they are called “fossils” because they apparently once were living organisms, somehow buried in vast sediments and later compressed and converted into oil and coal and combustible gas.

How could this have happened?

Evolutionists speculate that hundreds of millions of years of slow processes must have been involved, but the details of such processes are very uncertain. Coal and oil can be produced in a matter of hours in modern

laboratories under appropriate conditions of heat and pressure. Recent studies of creation scientists have proved at least the great coal beds (and even diamond mines) contain radio-carbons, so they must have been formed recently.

Although evolutionists ridicule the idea of a world-destroying hydraulic cataclysm in Noah’s day, the phenomenon really does provide reasonable explanation for all these phenomena.

“The world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished” (2 Peter 3:6).

Isn’t it ironic that the world’s economy has to come to depend on that orgy of death imposed on a wicked world in it’s early days? Without the energy stored in these dwindling fossils, man’s rush toward greater sin and judgement in these latter days would almost certainty be hindered.

In the meantime, “The Lord God shall laugh at him: for He seeth that his day is coming” (Psalm 37:13).

LETTERS Being a pacifist is invitation for someone to take your lunch money To the editor, Shock of shocks, Leo R. (the nutty professor) Sandy has treated everyone to his annual (I’m such a poor victim) column regarding the Veterans Day parade. Like we didn’t hear the same complaints last year, and the years before for that matter. Of course I’m not critical of those who want peace — just those, like Leo, who insist it’s all America’s fault. His reasoning , as always, is if we just wouldn’t bother defending ourselves from murdering despots, insane religious fanatics, mad world conqueror wanna-be’s, everyone would just leave us in peace and happiness.

Does this sound even slightly likely to you the readers? Has world history shown in any age, anywhere, that this idea has any validity? If so can you, or Leo, site a valid example upon which to hang his hat? No? Didn’t think so.

Don’t feel bad because there is none.

Being a pacifist is an invitation to some brute to kick you in the rear and take your lunch money. That goes for the skinny book worm in third grade or a major nation like the U.S. Poor Leo is a victim but it’s of his own failed reasoning and lack of critically analyzing of cause and effect. We can only hope the professor will have an awakening of common sense in the coming year but caution readers, don’t hold your breath.

Now then, how about that Democratic/liberal smear machine and it’s full frontal attack on Herman Cain?

Wow, where do they find all these desperate bimbos? After the first 36 hours of scorching revelations every one of these women are found to have pretty shady and shabby backgrounds as well as apparently looking for a soon to come payday. Who could have guessed? Funny though how it took the lame stream media months to pick up on the John Edwards affair, oh wait, wasn’t it a supermarket tabloid that broke that story? Yea! But a black

conservative accused by questionable women of dubious history. Hell they had him convicted by the end of the first day so that by now he doesn’t stand a snowballs chance in July. It’s a pattern they keep saying but the only pattern I see is the lie, smear, slander tactics that always come from the left when they can’t defend their programs and polices. God help a woman or black conservative if they dare run for office because Democrats just can’t have that; it challenges their image that all Republicans/conservatives are racist/male chauvinists and stupid to boot. Seems to me a rather racist/gender biased position for “liberals” to take.

And so now that the “super committee” has gone the way of the Dodo our community organizer in chief is once again blaming everyone but himself for the failure. Never mind that here too there is another clear pattern visible to anyone who cares to look. One failure after another marks this presidents time in office. Class warfare, racial division, have given us the most divided nation in 40-odd years. Where was the open, honesty promised? What has this president done to bring both sides together for bi-partisan solutions to our nations problems? Nothing! He shut out any Republican efforts to compromise, when it looked like some deal might get done he pulled the rug out refusing to cut even the slightest spending then claimed it was the other side who were the problem.

After three years now, it’s pretty clear the man is in way over his head.

Not that we weren’t warned back in ‘08 that a junior senator voting present all the time wasn’t our best choice to fix our problems. So if you voted for Obama in ‘08 to prove you weren’t racist vote him out in ‘12 to prove you aren’t stupid.

Blue Star mothers are hosting Heroes Christmas Trees around state To the editor, The Blue Star Mothers of NH are once again hosting Heroes Christmas Trees around the state. What started as one tree here in Laconia in 2006 has grown to well over 25 trees all over the state.

In our community, the Heroes Christmas Trees are being hosted at the Belknap Mill in Laconia and Franklin Savings Bank in Gilford.

Stars of gold, black, and blue adorn the trees bearing the names of United States service members past and present. Blank stars are available for those who would like to add the name of someone currently serving or a past veteran to the tree.

For more information where Heroes Christmas Trees are being hosted,

I respect and support Newt Gingrich and hope that you will, too To the editor, I have been thoroughly impressed by the debate performance of Newt Gingrich. I believe that Newt is the best representative of what this nation needs; a real leader.

Newt’s knowledge of almost all issues effecting our country provides

him with a genuine understanding of the problems we face. His broad experience, keen intellect and conservative credentials show that he can tackle these problems and get the job done.

The ease with which Newt conveys his ideas exhibits a confidence born of see next page

LETTERS Politicians delight at breeding more Democrats to demand welfare To the editor, The increasingly sharp divide between Democrats and Republicans (liberals vs. conservatives) seems to boil down to particular issues of how they were raised.

Those in a middle to poor family, which have always relied on welfare in some way, become liberals: ie, government and others must take care of me! Oddly, connected to them are some raised in a super rich family, always given anything desired, often spend many years in school to become a medical doctor specialist, always getting outrageous income for very little effort, become liberal Democrats: give back to everyone what I got from family, with no regard for where the money really comes from.

Those raised in excellent families, lacking only money, end up working hard to prosper and help others do the same, become conservatives (ie, attitude of save what we have) and Republicans. Many of those are too intelligent to put up with most politicians, so reject both parties for intelligence, such as the “Tea Party” or “ Liberation Party”, or other similar.

There are some who span both “definitions” because of the garbage attached to those definitions. Thus by the many contradictory definitions I am defined as ULTRA conservative AND ultra liberal. Examples that may help you understand the differences: I’m an agnostic: I believe GOD has, and is, helping people, but I reject the convenient stories of the Bible, and ALL extensions and takeoffs of it (such as Mohammed did, to turn thieving and killing to be approved by God!). Joseph Smith did the opposite, turning the many contradictory bibles into an HONEST HELPFUL religion, the Church of the Latter-Day Saints, known as Mormons. Likely the most honest, helpful church on earth, BUT, still hung up with nonsense issues or

so called “morality” Maybe the most confusing (to those few who think) are the weird “morality issues. If we didn’t practice sexual intercourse as we were built for, by God, we would become extinct, yet ALL major religions have prohibitions on that! How stupid and anti God can they get? Oh, “they only want to make sure you can’t enjoy it!”. By that do, they say God was wrong to make the most needed part of procreation pleasurable? I STRONGLY suspect that came from big guys who were “rakes”, seduced all the girls they could, then deny that to all others! Of course, we see that in every animal species, clearly showing that humans are little better than all other animals.

Back to the practical. Without contraceptives, intercourse was dangerous for those who could not care for the child. WITH contraceptives disease was the major threat. In either case EDUCATION was essential!

Now we have “conservative” Republicans acting like jealous animals: if you have “illegal” sex and conceive a child, Republicans all say YOU MUST SUFFER and bear that child, to be sure you will HATE it, abuse it, and create another to HATE all politicians and laws! That is bad, but nowhere near as bad as the Muslims who just KILL the mother!

The control attitude of Republicans seems to work at avoiding unwanted children, while the Democrats breed like chickens. Thus politicians delight at breeding more Democrats, for the destruction of the USA and all the welfare they demand.

I believe I’ve laid out definitions of the problems, based on 78 years of observation. I invite your response with ways to cure the problems. I’m too old for that to affect me, but you MUST improve for your children’s sake.

Could the Tea Party be coming back around, full circle, to Ron Paul?

To the editor, Many believe the modern day Tea Party movement started Dec 16, 2007 when Ron Paul supporters thought of having a tea party in Boston to raise money for the Paul campaign.

Through the Tea Party, and the tea party “Money Bomb” on the Internet the people raised over $6-million in a 24 hour period. Most of the donations were small amounts made by thousands of supporters. This was a historical record breaker, one that has not been matched since to my knowledge.

As president, Ron Paul will actually do something, not just talk about it.

Less taxes, less government, stop the foreign wars, bring the troops home, get back to real money (not fiat). These are some of the things he stands for, and this is what the Tea Party stood for back then.

After the 2008 campaign wound

down, the Tea Party made an abrupt turn away from many of Ron Paul’s constitutional principals.

Ron was booed at the Tea Party debate held in Florida , September 12, 2011 for saying the Middle East hates us because we’ve been bombing them for 10 years.

The Tea Party got behind Michelle Bachman, then dropped her. They got behind Rick Perry, then dropped him. They got behind Herman Cain, then dropped him. The move now is towards Newt Gingrich, but with his baggage I’ll be surprised if he last.

On Friday, Nov. 17 Ron Paul was endorsed by Tim Pugh, the founder of the Cedar Rapids Tea Party.

Could we be watching the prodigal son returning to the father?

from preceding page experience. Newt is exactly what the doctor ordered!

It is undeniable that Newt is the intellectual giant among a field of great candidates. He is the most qualified to be president by any measure

or standard.

Gracious to his opponents, yet determined and principled in his stands. I respect and support him. I hope you will too.

Belmont voters to decide pay-as-you-throw and curbside recycling issues in March

By Gail OBer

BELMONT — Selectmen voted unanimously to include one article for pay-as-you-throw trash collection and one article for curb-side recycling on March’s town warrant. The board will also hold a second public hearing on Jan. 9, 2012 to solicit the public’s feelings about the two measures.

It was last month the selectmen held their first public hearing on a pay-as-you-throw program but, excluding the media, only two people attended.

Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said there is no money portion to the pay-as-you-throw warrant article because the program pays for itself.

Should the voters also opt for curb-side recycling pickup, it would cost about $100,000 for the contract with the trash hauler.

Right now, explained Beaudin, Waste Management has given her a tentative dollar amount for adding curb-side recycling pickup at $103,910, but depending on whether or not voters opt for it, the town can put that portion of the contract out for bid.

Chair Jon Pike said he would feel better about giving the town residents a second public hearing before the deliberative session scheduled for February. Belmont is an SB-2 or Official Ballot Act com-

munity, meaning voters hold a deliberative session that determines what is actually on the paper ballot on the second Tuesday in March.

He suggested asking Elizabeth Bedard, who gave a presentation at the last public hearing, to attend the Jan. 9 meeting.

Last week, Pike expressed his reservations about putting the articles on the ballot before the new single-stream recycling facility is built in Penacook.

Last night, Beaudin, who represents Belmont on the Water Cooperative Committee, said the Committee voted to build plant and that is should be on-line by November or December of 2012.

She said that should the voters vote in pay-as-youthrow, which would increase revenue from the sales of recyclables to the town, by the time the town actually got the program up and running, went to bid for the bags and put the program in effect, it wouldn’t realistically go into effect until late 2012.

Reassured that the vote wouldn’t be premature, Pike joined Selectmen David Morse and Ron Cormier in voting to put the issue before voters in 2012 not 2013.

Jan. 9, 2012 is also the date for the public hearing for the sewer rate increases so selectmen are hoping for a big turnout.

POST OFFICE from page 2 also receives most of her income by paper checks through the mail.

“The trickle-down effect of this is going to be frustrating,” she said. “It’s not going to put me out of business but it’s an irritant. Every time small businesses turn around we get hit with something else.”

The change could represent an operational headache for L.L. Bean, which mails 250 million catalogues a year to sell outdoor clothing and equipment.

Now the company knows the day its catalogues will arrive in homes, and it can put on extra staff at call centers on the appointed day. It won’t be able to do that anymore.

“We are increasingly concerned about any proposal that would degrade the level of service such as greater variability in delivery deadlines,” said Carolyn Beem, an L.L. Bean spokeswoman.

Most Netflix customers who subscribe to the company’s DVD-by-mail service watch movies on the weekends and should still be able to return movies

Monday and have new ones on Friday, according to Michael Pachter, an analyst at the investment firm Wedbush. But other users will notice a delay, he said.

Netflix — one of the Postal Service’s biggest customers, with expenses of up to $600 million a year — has repeatedly warned in regulatory filings that any Postal Service cutbacks that delay its DVD-bymail deliveries will make it more difficult to keep subscribers happy. And, with encouragement from Netflix, customers are already abandoning mail service for movies delivered online.

But for many companies, the changes will have no effect. Some have already stopped relying on the Postal Service, moving online for billing or to overnight companies FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc. for critical deliveries. First-class mail volume is 78 billion per year, down from a peak of 104 billion in 2001. It is projected to drop by roughly half by 2020.

Tilton police capture Vermont fugitive

TILTON — Acting on a tip, police were able to apprehend without incident a Vermont man who was wanted for aggravated assault and out on parole for kidnapping.

Chief Robert Cormier said Harley Breer, 42, had just been paroled after serving eight years of a 28-year sentence in Minnesota State Prison for kidnapping and rape in Vermont.

Vermont State Police were looking for him after he allegedly assaulted a

woman and then stole a car, stating he would not go back to jail.

Tilton Police were able to surround the house where they learned he was staying, called for him and he surrendered without incident.

With his parole violations and the new charges, Cormier said Breer was being held in Belknap County Jail in Laconia. He waived extradition and Cormier said he will be headed back to Vermont within a few days.

from preceding page that it did not expect the postal changes to have a major effect on its business, although the online drug distributor used the Postal Service to send most of its 110 million drug shipments last year.

Keith Ashmus, an attorney at Frantz Ward in Cleveland, said his

office can now file pleadings and motions electronically, so it sends far less mail than it used to. Documents served by mail are allowed three days to arrive, which means there will still be enough time for delivery by first class even with the changes.

Meredith selectmen pare library & parks & recreation budgets to get down to 2012 target

By Michael Kitch MEREDITH — Reading and partying bore the brunt of the cuts as the selectmen put the finishing touches on their 2012 town budget at a workshop yesterday, by trimming the total amount to be raised by property taxes to within $110,000 of the $7.7-million raised in 2008, which has been their benchmark for the past four years.

Total appropriations amount to $12.8-million, which includes $31,611 for a collective bargaining agreement with employees of the Public Works Department to be voted at town meeting and $74,972 for a wage adjustment of 1.25-percent for other municipal employees.

Revenues from sources other than property taxes are projected at $4.5-million. Town Manager Phil Warren said that “revenues are flat, painfully flat,” explaining that if revenues from one source decline, he did not expect the loss would be offset by increased revenues from other sources.

Yesterday the board approved reductions totaling $98,147, which together with $725,000 withdrawn from the undesignated fund balance (rainy day fund) and applied as revenue, would bring the tax commitment to $7,826,422, just $109,964, or 1.4-percent, more than was raised in 2008.

As always, voters will have the final say at Town Meeting in March.

The board pared the library budget by $46,500.

The trustees have yet to specify the reductions, but Warren told the selectmen he expected the cut will be “portrayed as a reduction in service.”

Another $26,373 was taken from 14 lines of the Parks and Recreation Department. The Community Center will close an hour earlier, at 8 p.m.. The Independence Day concert, street dance, Easter egg hunt, Hershey track program, family fun night, family fun fest, holiday open house and tree lighting, family skating party, movies in the park, Camp Can Do, and after school program will all be eliminated.

Part-time maintenance will be eliminated and the uniform budget reduced.

Meanwhile, the department is expected to increase revenues from five events and concessions by nearly $2,000.

The board rejected a proposal by Vint Choiniere, director of Parks and Recreation, to spare the department’s programs and services by charging the Inter-Lakes School District $35,000 for preparing and maintaining playing fields and athletic facilities. He said that the actual costs “far exceed” the $35,000 and asked why the department should eliminate its programs while continuing to provide services for “outside agencies.”

The legal budget was cut by $10,000 while $15,000 was trimmed from the Department of Public Works in anticipation of a short winter.

GILFORD from page one Upon entering the school, all phones would be turned to “silent” mode, Sanborn explained, and use in class would only be permitted at the teacher’s instruction. At lunch and during study hall, Sanborn said, students should be able to use the phone for texting but not for phone calls, as the calls could be distracting to others.

Coleman told the board that there were ways in which use of the devices could benefit students. For example, a student could inform a parent about a last-minute change in after-school schedule, or use text-based services such as “Cha-Cha” to access information.

Corsack told the board about potential downfalls of cell phone use, such as distraction, cheating and bullying, concerns which could be addressed through classroom, school and district policy.

Taylor showed the board how even the most basic phones have features such as a calendar and calculator, which would be helpful to students. Brulotte explained that smart phones can use free apps to further education, such as an app which allows the download of books and another which allows the

phone to be used as a stack of electronic flash cards.

Clarke suggested that the school could implement a trial run of the new policy, which would be preceded by an educational campaign explaining that the phones could be used only in specific situations and for certain purposes.

Board members were receptive to the council members’ suggestions but divided as to how best to proceed.

“I couldn’t live without my Droid, I’m completely on board with them,” said Webber. “My attitude is, it’s inevitable. People now expect to be connected twenty four-seven.”

“Not me,” interjected Frank Webber, a member of the Gilmanton School Board who said he doesn’t own a cell phone.

Rae Mello-Andrews disagreed with the suggestion that texting would be permitted at lunch or during study hall. “In any meeting that I go to, texting is considered just as rude as talking.” She also was concerned that widespread cell phone access could lead to situations of panic, such as a recent scare at Inter-Lakes High School where a false rumor of an see next page

Laconia Chiefs 5th grade team finishes season undefeated and claims N.H. Division II crown The Grade 5 Laconia Cheifs put the finishing touches on a perfect 9-0 season on Nov. 13 by capturing the N.H Youth Football & Spirit Conference championship for Division II by defeating Windham 34-6. The chiefs surrendered just two touchdowns the entire season, one in the very first game, a 14-7 double-overtime win over Division I Keene and another in the first half of the title game. Overall, Laconia, coached by Dennis Chaisson, outscored its opponents by a 248-13 margin and the schedule included several games against Division I teams. Against Winham, seven different backs rushed for 10 of more yards, including Ryan Chaisson, who scored twice, and Bryce McCrea and Jake Steele, who also rushed for touchdowns. Chaisson got the Chiefs on the board first by returning Windham’s first punt of the game 60 yards for a touchdown. Laconia totaled right at 200 yards rushing for the game while holding their opponents to a net of zero yards. The Chiefs squam was made up of a combination of 4th and 5th graders. (Courtesy photo)

PLANET from page 2 “This is a phenomenal discovery in the course of human history,” Geoff Marcy of University of California, Berkeley, one of the pioneers of planet-hunting outside our solar system, said in an email. “This discovery shows that we Homo sapiens are straining our reach into the universe to find planets that remind us of home. We are almost there.”

The new planet — named Kepler-22b — has key aspects it shares with Earth. It circles a star that could be the twin of our sun and at just about the same distance. The planet’s year of 290 days is even close to ours. It likely has water and rock.

The only trouble is the planet’s a bit big for life to exist on the surface. The planet is about 2.4 times the size of Earth. It could be more like the gas-and-liquid Neptune with only a rocky core and mostly ocean.

“It’s so exciting to imagine the possibilities,” said Natalie Batalha, the Kepler deputy science chief.

Floating on that “world completely covered in water” could be like being on an Earth ocean and from preceding page armed intruder was quickly relayed to parents, who began driving to school and demanding to have their child released to them. “To me, that’s a safety issue.”

Gilford Board Member Sue Allen was eager to bring the issue before the board’s policy subcommittee but didn’t want a trial run to preceed the policy.

“I think we’re jumping the gun by going to a trial before the subcommittee has had a chance to talk about it,” she said.

Webber thought the trial should be pursued, though, and thought it would be problematic to establish a policy first. “I have a problem with that because it will be a flawed policy. If you have no experience to base your policy upon, it will be a flawed policy and we’ll have to revisit it.”

The board ultimately conceded to a compromise which will see the policy subcommittee meet in December and receive a set of suggestions from the High School administration. The policy the committee generates will be presented to the board at its January 3 meeting. At that point, the board may choose to give the policy a trial run, which likely will take place from Martin Luther King, Jr. Day until February vacation.

“it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that life could exist in such an ocean,” Batalha said in a phone interview.

Kepler can’t find life itself, just where the conditions might be right for it to thrive. And when astronomers look for life elsewhere they’re talking about everything ranging from microbes to advanced intelligence that can be looking back at us.

So far the Kepler telescope has spotted 2,326 candidate planets outside our solar system with 139 of them potentially habitable ones. Even though the confirmed Kepler-22b is a bit big, it is still smaller than most of the other candidates. It is closest to

Earth in size, temperature and star than either of the two previously announced planets in the zone.

The confirmation of one of two, though, has been disputed. The latest discovery has been confirmed several ways, including by two other telescopes.

Earlier this year, a European team of astronomers said they had confirmed another planet in the habitable zone, but that one was hot and barely on the inside edge of the habitable zone.

For Marcy, who is on the Kepler team, the newest planet is a smidgen too large. But, “that smidgen makes all the difference,” he said.

Lawmaker’s report on FRM mess suggests politics played role in way state handled investigation & discipline, to detriment of investors

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — The second legislative committee charged with studying issues arising from the collapse of Financial Resources Mortgage, Inc. (FRM) reported last week, bringing the total number of reports on the costliest financial scam in the state’s history to five.

Scott Farah and Donald Dodge, the principals of FRM and its affiliate CL&M, Inc., both Meredith-based, are serving sentences in federal prison for their parts in the Ponzi scheme that defrauded more than 150 investors of some $23-million via a Ponzi scheme.

Unlike the first joint legislative committee, which counted 26 members from both parties, the second committee consisted of five members — all Republicans — Representatives Sean McGuiness of Nashua, Wyman Shuler of East Kingston and Kenneth Weyler of Kingston and Senator Jeanie Forrester of Meredith.

The committee relied heavily on reports prepared by the Attorney General’s Office, Bureau of Securities Regulation and Charles Chandler, who was appointed by the Secretary of State to conduct an independent inquiry. The authors of these reports were interviewed by the committee, which also heard from several victims of the fraud.

Not surprisingly the report provides no fresh revelations and only five major recommendations, two of which echo those of the other reports. Instead, the recommendations offered by victims of the scam as well as those submitted by the Attorney General, Chandler, and Mark Connolly, the former director of the Bureau of Securities Regulation, and his successor, Joseph Long, are simply attached to the report without comment by the committee.

While the report is thin on recommendations, it contains 43 separate questions on bankruptcy proceedings, restitution for victims, consumer complaints, disclosure of information and mortgage law that the committee indicated should be asked but chose not to answer.

Like the other inquiries, the committee found that three regulatory agencies — the Attorney General’ Office, Bureau of Securities Regulation and Banking Department — share responsibility for failing to take timely and effective steps to curtail the fraud while assigning “the most fault” to the Banking Department, which licensed and examined FRM. But, the committee departed from its forerunners in two major respects, lending a distinctly political tone to its report. First, it scolded Governor John Lynch and the Executive Council, on which Democrats then held the majority, for allowing Bank Commissioner Peter Hildreth to resign. “It is very evident that the Governor and Executive Council made a huge mis-

take by not following through with the removal proceedings,” reads the report, noting that “much important and relevant testimony was lost.” The committee called the decision “an act of political expediency rather than service to the state of New Hampshire, which is unfortunate.”

Second, the committee concluded that the Attorney General’s Office bears “the most culpability to the victims” for its “hugely damaging decision” to force FRM and CL&M into bankruptcy, wondering if the decision sprang from “political expediency.”

The committee claims that “we do not want to necessarily second-guess that decision” and concedes it lacks “the financial and regulatory expertise to render a definitive judgment” while expressing “grave concerns about the ramifications of this decision.”

In particular, the committee challenged the process of aggregating all claims against FRM and CL&M, recovering proceeds paid to some clients and pooling all monies to be redistributed equitably among the victims. The report observes the that not all victims are similarly situated, highlighting those holding recorded mortgage deeds on specific properties, and questions whether they should all treated as unsecured creditors in the interest of “fairness.” The committee asks whether the Attorney General is obliged to intervene on behalf of victims in the federal bankruptcy proceedings.

In addition to calling on regulatory agencies charged with protecting consumers to share information and cooperate closely, the committee recommends that the Legislative Budget Assistant conduct performance audits of the Attorney General’s Office, Bureau of Securities Regulation and Banking Department, especially with an eye to the disclosure and sharing of information and the handling of complaints from the public.

Furthermore, the committee suggests that registered lobbyists who represent clients before state agencies “should identify themselves in both milieus” and legislation should be adopted to protect mortgage holders in bankruptcy proceedings.

Curiously, the committee seized the occasion to recommend that the Attorney General, like the Secretary of State and State Treasurer, should be elected by a joint session of the Legislature. In its report the committee noted that it “felt like the Attorney General office was not as interested in being helpful to our task as some of the other agencies “ and “it seems as if the AG believes they are beyond the reach of the Legislature or any other agency, that they are the ‘top dog’ and that they are able to make decisions in a vacuum, because they are answerable to no one.” While acknowledging the Attorney General must be “independent,” the committee said sharply

INMATE from page one tions officer found him during a routine bed check.

Corrections officers immediately called for an ambulance and began emergency resuscitation, using an automatic external defibrillator, but failed to revive Arizmendi, who was pronounced dead by the assistant deputy medical examiner.

Deputy James McIntire of the sheriff’s department said yesterday that he expected the chief medical examiner to undertake an autopsy and determine the cause of death on Monday. He said that although there is no evidence suggesting foul

play, the department is conducting an investigation, which is routine in the event of an untimely death.

The inquiry will include reconstructing the last 24 hours of Arizmendi’s life as well as reviewing his available medical history.

According to records of the 4th Circuit Court Laconia, Arizmendi was convicted of two counts of simple assault in 1996, possession of narcotics and disorderly conduct in 1997, and four counts of simple assault in 1998 along with a number of motor vehicle offenses.

BODY from page 3 child abductions. The body was located about 1 p.m.

Monday.

Canton emergency management director Jeff Hall said authorities had not searched the trash container until Monday because it was a large garbage compacting bin that needed to be moved offsite so they could go through it.

Bankhead, the GBI spokesman, said investigators believe the girl was killed at the apartment complex and her body left in the trash bin. Yellow crime scene tape blocked off the wooded area behind the girl’s apartment building.

Authorities planned to provide an update on the investigation Tuesday morning.

Maria Rodriguez works with Rivera’s mother at a nearby poultry plant and used to live in the same complex.

“She was a very sweet girl,” Rodriguez said, crying as she held her 4-year-old daughter. “She was the type of little girl who likes her presence to be known.

It’s just so sad.”

Rodriguez said Rivera’s mother worked the graveyard shift. Police have since removed two other young children from the Rivera home over “concern about the supervision of Jorelys,” said Lt. Jay Baker with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Department.

Maria Faustino, who also used to live in the apartment complex, said she always felt safe there.

“This place is small and everybody knows everybody,” said Faus-

tino, who has a young son. “You wouldn’t have thought something like this would have happened there.”

A schoolmate who lived in a neighboring complex, 8-year-old Ashley Rosalez, said Rivera was very talkative and that she would play on all the playgrounds in nearby apartment complexes.

Major rescue effort brings injured man off White Face GILFORD — A 67-year-old seacoast man broke his femur Saturday afternoon and had to be rescued by firefighters from the White Face portion of Piper Mountain.

Fire Chief Steve Carrier said the man was hiking alone and did not have a cell phone. He was found by a couple from Connecticut who happened to be hiking along the same trail.

Carrier said it took 15 rescuers, including four members of the Department of Fish and Game and three from the Tilton-Northfield Fire Department, to reach the man who was about halfway down the icy ledges when he fell.

One of Carrier’s command staff injured his fore-

arm when he slipped on some sheer ice along the ledges during the rescue.

“Because of the ice and the dark, this was a very dangerous rescue,” Carrier said noting the 15 rescuers were there for nearly four hours.

He said firefighters splinted the man’s leg, kept him warm and started an IV before he was taken down the mountain on Tilton-Northfield’s 6-wheel Polaris ATV. Carrier said the hiker was taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital. The injured firefighter was also evaluated at the hospital and will be out of work for at least a week.

Private tree work caused big power outage in Plymouth & Rumney PLYMOUTH —Power was interrupted to approximately 7,400 members of New Hampshire Electric Cooperative (NHEC) for five hours on Saturday when a tree on private property was accidentally felled on a 34,500-volt transmission line.

The transmission line, owned by Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH), provides power to two NHEC substations located in Rumney and Plymouth. Loss of power to the substations left large parts of Plymouth and all of Rumney without power, and affected NHEC members as far away as Piermont and Orange.

PSNH and NHEC crews worked to repair the damaged power line, which runs behind a home on Fairgrounds Road in Plymouth where the incident occurred at 9:25 a.m. Power was eventually restored at 2:42 p.m.

In light of the cost and inconvenience associated with power outages, particularly a weekend outage in the run-up to the Christmas holiday, NHEC is urging homeowners and contractors to use an abundance of caution when trimming or cutting trees near power lines.

PLYMOUTH — A woman trying to take off in her ultra-lite aircraft got a little bit sideways on the grass runway off Quincy Road Saturday afternoon causing the aircraft to tip onto its side.

Fire Chief Casino Clagston said firefighters were

able to help the woman, who was unharmed and declined medical attention, to push the aircraft back onto its wheels.

Clagston said there was no fuel spilled and the Fire Department was there for about 20 minutes.

HOLOCAUST from page 2 said Schneider, who plans another trip to Berlin in January.

Germany will now pay reparation pensions to a total of 66,000 people who survived Nazi death camps and ghettos, or had to hide or live under false identity.

Schneider said the humanitarian deal was reached because of a broadening of the criteria for payment to Holocaust survivors.

Under the new rules, which go into effect Jan. 1, any Jew who spent at least 12 months in a ghetto, in hiding or living under a false identity, is eligible for a monthly pension of 300 euros (about $375) a month.

For countries in the former Soviet bloc, that amount is 260 euros.

Until now, the minimum time requirement for living under such duress was 18 months.

Julius Berman, chairman of the Claims Conference, which provides services and reparations to victims of the Holocaust around the world, said in a statement that conference officials “have long emphasized to the German government that they cannot quantify the suffering of a Holocaust survivor who lived in the hell of a ghetto.”

Living in hiding came with equally “unimaginable fear,” he said — the existence of “a Jew in Nazi Europe who survived for any period of time in hiding or by living under a false identity, when discovery would have been a death sentence.”

The Germans established more than 1,000 ghettos for Jews while the Nazi leadership in Berlin deliberated the “Final Solution” — a plan to murder all European Jews. Some ghettos existed for only a few days, others for months or years, before residents were either shot in mass graves or deported to death camps.

AUCTION from page one for auctioneers. By mid-day of the day before the auction starts, she typically has about 800 items logged in. Yesterday, she only had about a quarter of that amount.

“We’re really behind on items this year,” she said.

Last year, when the auction set a new record of $283,808, more than 2,100 items were auctioned. With the exception of 2008, when an ice storm knocked the event off the air temporarily, the auction has succeeded in its goal of raising at least one dollar more than the previous year. If the auction is to meet its goal this year, Hackett is going to need to see a lot more items arrive for donation at auction headquarters at the Lake Opechee Inn & Spa Conference Center.

Hackett’s experience has shown that some things seem to perform better than others. Gift certificates, especially those to the Soda Shoppe, seem to always be popular among bidders, as are gift baskets. Bicycles are a good bet, she said, and “sports tickets, we need desperately.” Electronics, such as gaming systems or iPods, also tend to light up the phone lines.

“I really feel like I should have a lot more items by now,” Hackett said.

Whatever the item, Hackett said it should be new and brought to the conference center anytime during the auction, though she urged that sooner is definitely better.

“When I started, it was Warren (Bailey), Ed (Darling) and me at 6:30 a.m. in a freezing building downtown,” Hackett recalled. For the first several years, Hackett, a Belmont resident, said she was a “part-time” volunteer who would offer an hour of work here and there or would bring some food to auction workers. Then, in the mid-90s, her husband Norman Smith fell terminally ill and Bailey, she said, made sure that he had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the final year of his life, such as by providing tickets to the M/S Mount Washington.

Hackett cherishes the memories that resulted from Bailey’s generosity.

When Smith died in the fall of 1995, she said she volunteered full-time as a way of occupying her mind during a difficult time, while repaying Bailey.

“I just love it,” she said, explaining why she’s returned year after year.

She tells her children, “unless there’s a death in the family, I don’t want to hear from you during auction week.”

One of her sons, Ray Smith, learned early on that if he wanted to see Mom he’d have to join her. He’s now in his 20th year of volunteering.

“Once you get the bug, it doesn’t leave you,” said Hackett.

Ed Darling, whose official title with the event is “phone bank elf,” said despite the low inventory of donated item, he’s learned from experience not to panic in the early hours of the auction. “The first day or two is always a little nerve-wracking,” he said. “Once we start the auction itself, we see a big up-tick in the items coming in.”

“We’ve learned over the years that the community is as supportive as they can be,” Darling continued.

Beyond donations of items to be auctioned, he has seen the development of several outside events that were conceived to benefit the auction.

Darling credited the Laconia Athletic and Swim club with creating the model when club employee and endurance cycling enthusiast Mike “Mad Dog” Gallagher raised thousands in donations through successive “Cycle Mania” events. Although that event has seen its sunset, it inspired “Pub Mania,” an event held at Patrick’s Pub and Eatery which last year raised more than $60,000. New this year is a “Frozen 5K” road race organized by MC Cycle & Sport.

“There are a ton of things that go on throughout the year,” said Darling, such as a golf tournament hosted by the Crazy Gringo, several birthday parties where the guest of honor asks that donations are made instead of gifts, and many people who will save a few dollars here and there throughout the year and donate during auction time.

“The thing that we’ve always said from the beginning is that every penny counts,” said Darling. As in previous years, the fundraising goal is a dollar more than last year’s count. However, Darling hinted that he’d be excited to see the total rise a little higher than $283,809. “It is the 30th Anniversary, there’s that magic number that has yet to be reached,” he said.

Bond raters not impressed with save the euro effort

PARIS (AP) — Seeking to restore confidence in the euro, the leaders of France and Germany jointly have called for changes to the European Union treaty so that countries using the euro would face automatic penalties if budget deficits ran too high.

But not everyone on Wall Street was reassured that Europe would get con-

trol of its 2-year-old debt crisis.

Stock prices rose and borrowing costs for European governments dropped sharply in response to the changes proposed on Monday by French President Nikolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But some of the optimism faded late in the day see next page

SYRACUSE from page one room in 2002. He said Fine showed him porn, fondled him and watched him shower naked.

Fine has denied any wrongdoing. He was subsequently fired by the school.

“The only thing that transpired was the same stuff that happened to me,” Tomaselli said of his relationship with the teenage boy in Maine. “This kid has been through a lot because of the way I controlled him and abused him.”

He said the plea bargain includes him serving three years in prison and registering as a sex offender for life.

Tomaselli also has said that he was abused by his father, Fred, and that he went to police about it in June in upstate New York. No charges were filed and Fred Tomaselli said the charges were “totally unfounded.”

Tomaselli’s lawyer was in a Maine court last week seeking to have his confession to police suppressed. Defense lawyer Justin Leary said the confession was coerced, and the judge hadn’t ruled on the motion as of Monday.

Leary declined comment Monday evening on his client’s confession to the AP.

FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — December 7, 1941 was a bright, sunny Sunday morning and there was a lot traffic around the 341-foot long USS Worden, one of a four destroyers anchored near a destroyer tender at the entrance to Pearl Harbor.

Boatswain Walter Borchert, then 20, who had grown up in Brooklyn and signed up for a sixyear tour of duty with the U.S. Navy in 1939, recalls that sailors were going ashore for chapel services while others were coming back to the ship from shore leave, “liberty” as it was then known.

“I was just sitting down with a big egg sandwich and a big mug of coffee around eight o’clock when a guy named Yvonovich came running down the landing yelling ‘the Japs are attacking’. I ran up onto the top deck and looked down the harbor to Battleship Row. The first thing I saw was the Arizona get hit. It’s magazine exploded and it went right out of the water,” Borchert said.

from preceding page firing 20 and 40 millimeter guns when we were a screening ship for the Saratoga,” Borchert recalls.

In October the Worden returned the west coast of the United States, where it underwent some repairs and two days after Christmas 1942, sailed from San Francisco to support the occupation of Amchitka Island in the Aleutians, where disaster struck on January 12, 1943.

The destroyer was guarding the transport Arthur Middleton as that ship put the preliminary Army security unit on the shores of Constantine Harbor, Amchitka Island. As they headed out a strong current swept the Worden onto a rocky pinnacle that tore into her hull beneath her engine room and caused a complete loss of power.

An effort by the destroyer Dewey to tow the ship free failed when the cable broke and heavy seas started to push Worden toward the rocky shore. The ship broached and began breaking up and the crew was ordered to abandon ship.

“The water was 36 degrees. I didn’t know as I was going to make it,” said Borchert, who was finally pulled into one of the rescue boats of the Middleton.

“I got wet twice that day, because the Middleton ran aground too,’’ says Borchert.

He was later taken by a British gunboat to Papau, New Guinea and got a ride on an army transport ship which took him back to the states.

“They saw all the combat I’d been through and stationed me back in New York,’” he says. Assigned to Long Island City in New York, not far from his boyhood home in Brooklyn, Borchert worked as a security guard for the remainder of the war and met for the first time his future wife, a woman from New York who had been sending him letters through her church group while he was stationed in Hawaii.

He and Gloria, a school teacher, enjoyed their free time at places like Coney Island and at a Queens bar and restaurant where the proprietor, Karl Vollmerding, always gave Borchert free drinks.

Vollmerding would later move to New Hampshire and build Karl’s Steakhouse and Hofbrau Lounge at Weirs Beach, which Borchert and his wife would frequent after they moved to New Hampshire.

When the war ended Borchert worked briefly for the Red Cross and for a company servicing vending machines before becoming a short haul truck driver “I remember driving through Brooklyn and honking my horn every time I saw Roy Campanella (Brooklyn Dodgers catcher) in front of his liquor store,” says Borchert, who later became a New York City building inspector.

He and his wife bought a summer camp on Sachem Cove in Meredith in 1954 and spent many summers in the Lakes Region before moving to Meredith after they retired in 1977.

They now live in Briarcrest Estates in Belmont, where Walter was encouraged by the late Lincoln Noel, commander of the local American Legion Post, to share his memories of Pearl Harbor with schools and civic groups.

“There aren’t many Pearl Harbor survivors left and I guess it’s my job to be reach out. I’m not much EURO from page 15 faded late in the day when Standard and Poor’s threatened to cut its credit ratings on 15 eurozone countries, including the likes of Germany, France and Austria which have been considered Europe’s safest government debt issuers.

The announcement came only hours after Sarkozy and Merkel revealed sweeping plans to change the EU treaty in an effort to keep tighter checks on overspending nations. The proposal is set to form the basis of discussions at a summit of EU leaders on Thursday and Friday that is expected to provide a blueprint for an exit from the crisis.

While the Franco-German plan would tie the 17-eurozone nations closer together, a tighter union would likely also result in heavier financial burdens for the region’s stronger economies, which have already put up billions of euros to rescue Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

Analysts noted that the proposals did not foresee a clear roadmap on how to get the eurozone econo-

of a speech maker but I do try to make myself available for interviews,” says Borchert, who will turn 91 next spring.

He says that he still drives a car and recently had a wheelchair ramp installed at his home for his wife, Gloria, but regrets that he’s no longer able to shovel snow or mow his lawn.

Borchert is one of a handful of Pearl Harbor survivors left in New Hampshire. He used to meet regularly with a group of survivors which at one time numbered 41. “There are only a four or six left from that group now,”’ he says.

And he thinks of Pearl Harbor every day, constantly reminded by the knee was injured during the attack.

struggling nations in the longterm.

“If this is all we get it’s really very bad news for the future of the euro,” said Simon Tilford, chief economist at London’s Centre for European Reform.

Many analysts have called on the European Central Bank to intervene in debt markets to lower struggling countries’ borrowing costs or the creation of eurobonds — debt backed by all 17 euro countries.

The euro fell after the S&P announcement, trading down 0.1 percent at $1.339, and trading in futures on the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average turned negative.

After the New York markets closed, S&P confirmed that it had placed 15 nations on notice for possible downgrades. Only two countries that use the euro weren’t affected: Cyprus already had that designation and Greece already has ratings low enough to suggest that it’s likely to default soon anyway.

France and Germany, the eurozone’s two largest economies which currently both have an AAA-rating, quickly came out against the S&P move.

Decay of our teeth occurs when certain germs (which are present in everyone’s mouth) produce acids that attack the teeth.

When a baby sleeps with a bottle or constantly drinks sweet liquids (juice) throughout the day, the sugars feed the germs and acids are formed. Acids cause destruction of the tooth enamel and the decay process begins. The baby’s upper front teeth are most vulnerable to babybottle tooth decay which occurs in approximately 15% of the population.

These children will require hospitalization and general anesthesia to treat the problem.

Baby or “primary” teeth are important because they create and preserve a space in the jaw for the permanent teeth. They stimulate the jaw and facial bones to grow properly. If baby teeth are lost too early, shifting or drifting of the remaining teeth can occur, and then the permanent teeth will not have enough room to come in straight. This causes crowding or crooked teeth – conditions which also contribute to tooth decay. Don’t let your baby sleep with a bottle containing any liquid except water.

Milk, formula, or fruit juice should be limited to short feeding times to keep your baby’s teeth healthy. If your child already has nursing bottle caries they need dental care ASAP – don’t hesitate to call.

Watch Out! Audrey Two coming to Winni Playhouse

LACONIA — December 1st – Nineteen area teens will burst onto the stage of the Winni Playhouse for the high-energy, cult musical comedy Little Shop of Horrors. The Winni Playhouse Teen Ensemble’s production of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman’s 1960s-style do-wopping musical performs from December 8-11.

Little Shop of Horrors is the story of hapless Seymour Krelbourn (Franklin’s John Masse) who toils away in the florist shop of Mr. Mushnik (Meredith’s Tori Webster), pining for his beautiful, but ditzy, coworker Audrey (Meredith’s Lauren Eifert).

When Seymour stumbles upon a “strange and unusual plant” (an ever-growing puppet manipulated by Gilford teen Sarah Gill and voiced by the cast’s lone adult, Michael Baker) he thinks that all his problems will be solved and that his discovery will help him to tear Audrey away from her sadomasochistic dentist boyfriend, Orin (Holderness’ Adam Messinger). Pretty soon, the plant is demanding a unique brand of plant food – human blood – which Seymour must deliver to it or face ruin.

The story is overseen by a trio of girl group style street urchins played by Heather Hunt, Kes Baker and Hannah Simmons.

Winni Playhouse Education Director Kate Wisnioski directs the show and she, together with set designer Dan Daly, came up with an unusual concept for this production. Daly’s set has forgone the traditional, realistic flower shop style and instead presents the production as a kind of comic book in which the actors interact with the pop-art style set pieces.

Wisnioski says, “We are really playing up the comedy and approaching the musical with a B-movie style. Between the set and oversized props, we’re pretty confident this will be a Little Shop like none you’ve seen before!”

Little Shop of Horrors will be performed at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse, Rts. 3 and 11b, Weirs

Momsen) in this holiday favorite based on the book

by Dr. Seuss.

Movie night includes popcorn and drinks and attendees are free to bring camp chairs or pillows to make the experience even more comfortable. Family movies are drop-in and therefore don’t require preregistration but are not drop-off. Children under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult.

OBITUARIES

Barbara H. Dupont, 74

LACONIA — Barbara H. (Beaupre) Dupont, 74, of Laconia died peacefully Sunday Dec. 4, 2011 in her home surrounded by her loving family and friends.

Barbara was born on April 19, 1937 in Franklin, NH to Clarence Beaupre and Elizabeth (Maynard) Barneetz. She moved from Franklin to Laconia where she lived for 56 years with her husband Robert A. Dupont.

Aside from being a loving wife and devoted mother, Barbara was a business owner who opened the Sunshine Coffee Shop on Court Street, Laconia in 1984. She sold the restaurant in 1988 to follow other pursuits. Under different management, the restaurant eventually closed. In 1995 Barbara and her daughter Brenda J. (Dupont) Ferland re-opened the restaurant with a new name, Cafe Deja Vu. Barbara retired from the restaurant business in Oct. 1997 and sold the business to Brenda.

Barbara loved to be outside tending her many beautiful flower gardens surrounding her home or simply looking over Lake Winnisquam and admiring the landscape. She kept up with current events and loved following politics. She always had a better opinion than the news-channel pundits on a wide array of topics and loved to share it with her friends and family.

She spent winters in Florida to avoid the New England snow and loved riding around the park in her golf cart up and down the streets lined with palm trees.

LACONIA — The historic Belknap Mill in downtown Laconia will host a book-signing by local author Carol Lee Anderson and local Olympic ski champion Penny Pitou on Saturday, December 10 beginning at 2 p.m.

Anderson’s new book, “The History of Gunstock – Skiing in the Belknap Mountains,” with its foreword written by Pitou, will be available for sale and signing by both Anderson and Pitou.

“Skiers and non-skiers will be amazed at the rich history of our local ski area. It has a great history with so many great stories behind it, I felt it important to be documented,” says Anderson.

The book tells the history of the Belknap Recreation Area beginning in the 1920s through to why and how it changed to Gunstock Ski Area, and includes information on preservation efforts that continue today.

Anderson went through the 4,000 pictures in the ski area’s archives and selected 70 images to be included in the book. Harrison Haas, a photographer from Laconia, took the contemporary images in the book. The book took Anderson a year to write, is 160 pages long and retails at $19.99. Books are available for sale at the Belknap Mill.

Penny Pitou, who wrote the foreword to the book, will be at the book-signing for the first hour to help promote the book. This two-time Olympic silver medalist learned how to ski with the Gilford Outing Club and then went on to ski at what we now call Gunstock Mountain Resort.

While at the Mill’s book-signing event, visitors can check out the “Trees for the Holidays” celebration.

Dozens of trees decorated by individuals, organizations, classrooms and businesses will be on display.

The Mill’s Meetinghouse Gift Shop will be open, along with the educational textile history exhibits.

The public is encouraged to spend time browsing for unique holiday gifts and learning about the city’s industrial history.

Many other activities will occur throughout the downtown area on December 10 as Laconia celebrates its Christmas Open House from noon to 6 p.m.

Merchants and other organizations and businesses will have activities and special sales to encourage the public to visit.

If you are a subscriber to Anthem’s Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance with a Site of Service benefit option, you can now receive your lab services with $0 cost to you – no deductible or coinsurance.

WARREN — Brenda M. Polidoro, executive director of the Laconia Historical and Museum Society, will give selected readings from “The Day Book of Jeremiah Smith Jewett” on Saturday, December 10 at 1 p.m. at the Joseph Patch Library.

Jewett’s impact on New Hampshire history and the Lakes Region was unknown until the recent publication of his numerous, daily, handwritten journals, written between 1854 and 1909, which brings his history of New Hampshire to life, in his own words and style. The authentic transcribed volumes are a riveting account of sometimes tragic and yet hopeful, positive times as seen by one person at the turn of the century.

Polidoro researched the Jewett family’s impact and relevance to Lakes Region history, including Laconia, Warren and surrounding towns. Her passion has been the transcription of Jewett’s (1822-1909) numerous daily journal entries totaling some 2600 hand-written pages, as well as research regarding his life.

She will also sign copies of the books at the Saturday event, which is hosted by the Warren Historical Society and Joseph Patch Library.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You see an opportunity, and yet this is no easy feat. You won’t be able to simply “let it happen” on this one. If you want it to happen, you’ll have to make it happen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Some people are disturbed by thoughts of the future. Not you. You know it will be better than the present because you keep getting more and more savvy about how to make it so.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There’s so much you take for granted about your own talents and strengths.

You need someone to hold a mirror up to you. Also, glimpsing into another person’s life will make you feel more connected to your own.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’re farther along in a project than you thought you’d be at this time. With a little more organization and the helping hand of a friend, you can finish this up or at least bring it to a workable end as early as tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Life presents itself to you, and you feel the privilege in this. Your breath, your thoughts and fantasies, the filling of your senses -- it’s all a gift that you keep unwrapping.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 6). You will enjoy a harmonious existence with others. January brings the energetic jolt of exciting new ideas. Through spring, your domestic life will transform into a more organized and uplifting scene.

June shows you on the receiving end of praise and awards. Family closeness will be the source of future happy memories. Taurus and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 14, 38, 19 and 50.

A

TUNDRA

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can rely on other people to do what they said they would do, though you may have to issue friendly reminders. Also, make sure everyone is clear about what the task at hand really is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t need to be told what to do or who to be, and you’ll likely reject anyone who tries to guide you in this manner.

But the one who tells you how to do a job well will get your attention and respect.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can help others out and still have fun; you just have to get organized. When you think it through first, you’ll put things together in a way that will help you get the most enjoyment out of your life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Though there are moments when you feel uncared for, there are more moments in which you realize you’re being taken care of on all levels. It’s as though some unseen force is putting you in the right place at the right time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll get the opportunity to show people what you can do best. And if you step up and let your talent be seen, more such opportunities will arise in the near future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is not always a cure for what ails you, but sometimes the way you deal with a problem is even better than a cure. A system of management may now give you fresh life and vitality.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People will try to put things in perspective for you, but that probably won’t work. Who are they to tell you how to feel? If it’s important to you, then it’s important, period.

Saturday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, December 6, 2011— Page 27

––––––– ALMANAC –––––––

Today is Tuesday, Dec. 6, the 340th day of 2011. There are 25 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 6, 1921, the Anglo-Irish Treaty, which established the Irish Free State, was signed in London. (The treaty came into force one year later on this date.)

On this date: In 1790, Congress moved to Philadelphia from New York.

In 1884, Army engineers completed construction of the Washington Monument by setting an aluminum capstone atop the obelisk.

In 1889, Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Confederate States of America, died in New Orleans.

In 1907, the worst mining disaster in U.S. history occurred as 362 men and boys died in a coal mine explosion in Monongah, W.Va. In 1947, Everglades National Park in Florida was dedicated by President Harry S. Truman.

In 1957, America’s first attempt at putting a satellite into orbit failed as Vanguard TV3 rose about four feet off a Cape Canaveral launch pad before crashing down and exploding.

In 1960, nearly 9 million acres of Alaska was set aside as an Arctic National Wildlife Range by order of Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton.

In 1971, the original Auto-Train, which carried rail passengers and their motor vehicles from Lorton, Va., to Sanford, Fla., went into operation.

In 1989, 14 women were shot to death at the University of Montreal’s school of engineering by a man who then took his own life.

One year ago: President Barack Obama announced a compromise with the GOP to extend Bush-era income tax cuts despite Democratic objections; the agreement included renewing unemployment benefits and reducing Social Security taxes for one year.

Today’s Birthdays: Jazz musician Dave Brubeck is 91. Comedy performer David Ossman is 75. Actor Patrick Bauchau is 73.

Actor James Naughton is 66. Actress JoBeth Williams is 63. Actor Tom Hulce is 58. Actor Kin Shriner is 58. Actor Wil Shriner is 58.

Actor Miles Chapin is 57. Rock musician Rick Buckler is 56. Comedian Steven Wright is 56. Country singer Bill Lloyd is 56. Singer Tish Hinojosa is 56. Rock musician Peter Buck is 55. Rock musician David Lovering is 50. Actress Janine Turner is 49. Rock musician Ben Watt is 49. Writer-director Judd Apatow is 44. Rock musician Ulf “Buddha” Ekberg is 41. Writer-director Craig Brewer is 40. Actress Colleen Haskell is 35. Actress Lindsay Price is 35. Actress Ashley Madekwe is 30. Christian rock musician Jacob Chesnut is 22.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband and I have three adult sons. The oldest and youngest are married, but the middle son (age 56) is not. He has his own house in our neighborhood and has had a younger man living with him for many years. We assume our son is gay, which is fine, but he has never admitted it. The last time we saw our son was Father’s Day. I sent him a birthday card in late July and asked why we haven’t heard from him. I reassured him that we love him. I received no response. We then called and left phone messages twice. Still no word. When we do get together, our son is friendly, pleasant and charming. However, we are hurt and disappointed that he never invites us over, nor does he keep in touch other than a few times a year. Should we just accept this behavior or confront him in person by showing up at his home? -- Pariahs, Not Parents Dear Parents: Oh, please don’t do that. Some children are not comfortable having their parents over, and an unexpected visit would likely make matters worse.

If you believe the “younger man” is his partner, we hope you have welcomed both of them to your home. Your son might appreciate your acceptance of this man as part of his life, and it may make him more amenable to closer contact.

But our main concern is whether your son is OK. Is it unusual not to have heard from him since June, despite your birthday card and phone messages? You might want to call once more and tell him you are worried about his well-being.

Dear Annie: I remember all of the letters about how to hang the toilet paper. I have a different question on the subject.

Several of my friends just prop the roll of toilet paper on top of the cylinder instead of sticking the roller through the hole in the paper. People then pick up the roll with their hands and remove as much as they need. This might not be so bad, except that some people use the roll more than once on the same

bathroom visit. Also, sometimes the toilet paper is dropped on the floor before being re-propped.

Several times I have made remarks regarding how unhealthy this habit may be, but they just laugh. Although they are otherwise hygienic, these people seem to have more upset stomachs than our other friends.

When I visit their houses, I carry folded toilet paper in my purse in order to avoid using their well-handled rolls. They tease me for being germophobic, saying everyone washes their hands before leaving the bathroom. But what if they first brush the hair out of their eyes or touch their mouths before washing their contaminated hands? Is this healthy? -- One Who Wants the Tissue Hung Properly Dear Tissue: This seems less an issue of hygiene than one of laziness. We are unaware of any studies that differentiate between using a propped-up roll of toilet paper versus one on a roller. But we can tell you that the probability of having the roll fall on the floor (or in the toilet) makes it automatically less sanitary than using the roller. And by the way, it is highly unlikely that all those who use the bathroom wash their hands with soap and water before leaving.

Dear Annie: “Cool Grandma Doesn’t Care” said her mother-in-law is encouraging her adult daughter to share sleeping arrangements with her live-in boyfriend, even though Mom and Dad disapprove. You said Grandma can do what she wants in her own home.

What about the daughter and her boyfriend respecting her parents’ wishes regardless of where they sleep? The boyfriend should do the right thing. Better to make a possible future mother-in-law happy than Grandma. -- El Segundo, Calif.

Dear El: That would be exceptionally gracious, but Mom cannot force him to do it, and her daughter doesn’t seem inclined to ask.

Lakes Region Builders & Remodelers Association donates TV production set to WLNH Children’s Auction LACONIA — The Lakes Region Builders and Remodelers Association has created a functional, custom-crafted TV production set for the WLNH Children’s Auction’s 30th anniversary.

LRBRA member companies joined together to design, build and deliver the furniture at no cost to the auction, which runs from Tuesday to Saturday, December 6-10 at the Conference Center at Lake Opechee Inn and Spa. In a series of spring meetings, representatives from the auction’s board of directors and the LRBRA came to agreement on future needs for TV production.

Jared Guilmett, a volunteer at the WLNH Children’s Auction and an intern with Architects Misiaszek Turpin, located in downtown Laconia, designed the TV production sets with oversight by Sonya Misiaszek and Rob Turpin, the firm’s owners. Guilmett and Misiaszek Turpin were connected through the Huot Technical Center’s SchoolTo-Career Program. The designs were then constructed by LRBRA member builders.

Established in 2004 by Sonya Misiaszek and Rob Turpin, providing services to both public and private sector clients. Their work includes full architectural services, from concepts and permitting to contract documents for institutional, municipal and residential projects, as well as adaptive re-use and historic preservation.

— Custance Brothers Woodworking (Steve, Matt, Brad and Dan) in Ashland, built unique display pillars and the Presentation Station for the auction items. Custance Brothers also painted all the furniture pieces from all of the contributing member builders in their paint booth to insure a premium quality finish. For over 100 years have been serving their clients with their fine custom woodworking, cabinetry, and home building services. From stock kitchen and bath cabinets to full built-ins to full house construction and additions they provide their clients with one-on-one service throughout their project.

— LRBRA member builders, father and son Chuck and Jonathan Barnett of Barnett Building Contractors in Gilford built and donated the Bid Board, including all the materials. They have built some of the finest homes in and around the Lakes

Lakes Region Builders and Remodelers Association member companies designed, built and donated new custommade cabinetry for the 30th anniversary of the WLNH Children’s Auction. Shown from left to right are: Jared Guilmett, Bob Glassett, Dale Squires, Steve Custance, Sharon Sheehan, Bob Anderson, Julie Hayward and Mike Hayward. (Courtesy photo)

Region. From small renovations to full house construction Chuck and Jon specialize in complete construction management.

Barnett’s staff consists of skilled craftsmen with over 30 years’ experience in residential construction and renovation projects — K.A. Clason Fine Woodworking of Gilford built, donated and delivered the new Anchor Desk for the auction MC and announcers. Owner Kurt Clason and his staff specializes in construction on the waterbound properties of Lake Winnipesaukee.

Working on the islands takes a great deal of experience and specialized equipment.

They provide fine workmanship on renovations of waterfront cottage kitchens, baths or porches or complete design-builds.

— Mike and Julie Hayward of Hayward & Company Log & Timber Homes of Bristol built and contributed a new Super Board for the TV production set, the fireplace-like unit incorporating both an electric firebox and a large flat-screen monitor over the mantel. Hayward has completed turn-key custom projects for their clients all over the state and has extensive experience with log and timber frame home construction, specializing in log and timber home renovations as well as construction

Meredith Edward Jones office helps Toys for Tots MEREDITH — Jacqueline Taylor, the local Edward Jones financial advisor, is supporting the US Marine Corps Toys for Tots program by using her office as a dropoff location for this year’s toy drive.

Local residents may help needy children in the area by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy to the office, 14 Main Street, Unit #2

, during regular business hours through December 16.

“With the holiday season around the corner, we are all getting ready for the festivities,” Taylor said. “And as this is the season of giving, now is a great time to remember the less fortunate in our community.”

— Manager Bill Blanchette and his staff at Middleton Building Supply in Meredith collected the TV production sets from LRBRA member builder’s workshops all over the Lakes Region, delivering all the pieces to the auction site without a scratch. Further, Middleton Building Supply donated much of the materials for the new TV production sets. Every year for many years over $500 in new tools is purchased by the LRBRA from Middleton for donation as auction items, generating many times that investment for local children. Middleton graciously allows the LRBRA to obtain these tools at cost. Middleton provides top-quality materials and service to contractors as well homeowners.

Quality selection and service makes them a great team member for any project and their delivery vehicles with hydraulic lifts came in handy.

Dale Squires, LRBRA executive officer from member company Belknap Landscape, said “The teamwork exhibited by LRBRA members and the resulting fine furniture, entirely donated to benefit local children, is astonishing. We are thankful that the LRBRA is comprised of such a generous group of skilled contractors, perfect for the needs of the WLNH Auction coordinators. This contribution represents over $5,000 in labor and materials, a terrific achievement.”

For more information about the Lakes Region Builders and Remodelers Association contact Dale Squires, executive director, at 455-1594 or by email at lakesregionbuilders@gmail.com.
