Alton’s attorney authorized to lead probe of police department

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

ALTON — The town attorney has been given the go ahead to “hire whoever is necessary” to help him examine the latest rift within the Police Department.

Town Administrator Russ Bailey said

yesterday that any investigation would be considered a personnel matter and declined to comment about the substance of what Atty. James Sessler would be investigating.

Selectboard Chair David Hussey said the selectmen are meeting this morning to, among other things, determine a budget for

Sessler and the examination.

Within the past month, two disputes centering around and in the Alton Police Department, including the news that Chief Ryan Heath owes nearly $15,000 in back taxes to the town on some of his investment see aLTON page 8

LACONIA — Although city councilors are agreed that the community should pursue the reopening and renovation of the Colonial Theater, a feasibility report and strategic plan did nothing to shake the resolve of the majority to resist municipal funding for the project.

Duncan Webb of Webb Management Services, Inc., who presented the report, concluded that the local audience for “performing arts and cultural events is limited,” among local and regional arts groups there is “limited demand” to use the venue and the regional inventory of performance venues in “very competitive.” Instead, he found that “the strongest case for the renovation of the Colonial Theater is the potential impact it could have on the revitalization of the downtown area.”

Immediately following the presentation this week, the council, on Webb’s recommendation, voted to establish an Advisory Committee, composed of both public officials and private individuals, to undertake the project and raise the necessary funds. In his report Webb said that this approach was appropriate in light of the importance of funding by the private sector “while still recognizing the importance of the City to this effort — sponsoring the effort to raise funds through other levels of government.” see COLONiaL page 12

Signs point to Gifford’s hubby being on space shuttle when it lifts off

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The astronaut husband of wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will announce Friday whether he’ll fly on space shuttle Endeavour’s final voyage — and all signs are go.

Mark Kelly will take part in a press conference Friday afternoon at Johnson Space Center in Houston, NASA said late Thursday. The astronaut who has been substituting for Kelly during training, however, is not among the three participants, suggesting that Kelly has decided to fly in April.

His identical twin, Scott, currently commander of the International Space Station, hinted in an interview this week that his brother would choose to fly.

Mark Kelly took a leave from training after Giffords was gunned down at a Tucson, Ariz., shopping center on Jan. 8. She’s been undergoing rehab in Houston for the past two weeks. see SHUTTLE page 9

Chaos in Egypt; dozens of reporters beaten, arrested CAIRO (AP) — Menacing gangs backing President Hosni Mubarak attacked journalists and human rights activists Thursday in an ugly turn in Egypt’s crisis as government opponents pushed supporters out of Cairo’s main square in a second day of battles. Organizers called for protesters trying to topple the regime to fill every square in the huge capital on Friday.

The new vice president, widely considered the first successor Mubarak has ever designated, fueled anti-foreign sentiment by going on state television and blaming outsiders for fomenting unrest. The government has accused media outlets of being sympathetic to protesters who want the president to quit now rather than serve out his term, as he has vowed to do.

Mubarak, 82, told ABC television in an interview that he was fed up and wants to resign. But he said he can’t for fear the

country would sink into chaos. He said he was very unhappy about the two days of clashes in central Tahrir Square.

“I do not want to see Egyptians fighting each other,” he was quoted as saying.

The violence that had been concentrated in Tahrir spread around the city of 18 million, with a new wave of arson and looting.

Soldiers, mainly protecting government buildings and important institutions, remained passive as they have since replacing police on the streets almost a week ago. Few uniformed police have been seen around the city in that time, and protesters allege some of them have stripped off their uniforms and mixed in with the gangs of marauding thugs.

“When there are demonstrations of this size, there will be foreigners who come and take advantage and they have an agenda to raise the energy of the protesters,” Vice

President Omar Suleiman said on state television.

Pro-government mobs beat foreign journalists with sticks and fists Thursday. The Committee to Protect Journalists said 24 reporters were detained in 24 hours, including representatives of The Washington Post and The New York Times. Twentyone journalists were assaulted, including two with Fox News.

One Greek journalist was stabbed in the leg with a screwdriver, and a photographer was punched in the face, his equipment smashed. The Arabic news network AlArabiya pleaded for the army to protect its offices and journalists, and Al-Jazeera said four of its correspondents were attacked.

The BBC’s foreign editor said security forces had seized the network’s equipment in a hotel to stop it broadcasting. see EGYPT page 13

CONCORD (AP) — Republican House Speaker William O’Brien said Thursday the House’s version of the state budget for the next two years will spend roughly 2 percent less than the current budget and keep a promise to voters not to raise taxes or fees.

O’Brien and Republican leaders released their revenue estimates for the budget committee to use in building a budget for the two years beginning July 1. The $4.4 billion in revenue estimates include plans to reduce about $2 million in taxes and fees.

The estimates would not be changed to

permit higher spending even if rosier forecasts are made this spring after the state’s big tax revenue months, said O’Brien of Mont Vernon.

“They are the stake in the ground,” O’Brien said of the estimates.

Typically, business tax receipts in March and April give lawmakers a better forecast of the economy two years out. O’Brien said any extra money from improved forecasts would be saved or used to reduce taxes.

The estimates count on ending a temporary $30 vehicle registration surcharge

and repealing a 10 percent tax on gambling winnings. They also include proposed reductions in fees on vehicle inspections, marriage licenses, vital records, builders’ applications, restaurant and hotel licenses and pet stores.

Senate President Peter Bragdon of Milford said it is too early to speculate on what the Senate’s revenue estimates would be since the Senate votes on a budget in June after it has had time to analyze tax receipts for more months. see NH BUDGET page 13

Froma Harrop

I miss moderate Republicans One of the more disagreeable traits of many tea party “spokespeople,” aside from their loose connection with facts, is their zest for threatening Republicans who don’t leap when they say “jump.”

I appreciate that these voices are largely self-appointed, and that many subscribers to the movement may not agree with this approach.

But boy, it’s painful to see grown statesmen cower at the commands of puffed-up “revolutionaries” inflicting damage on their party, never mind the country.

You might think that a liberal leaner like me would relish tea partiers’ causing havoc in the Republican camp — storming the primaries to replace plausible candidates like Delaware’s Rep. Mike Castle or Nevada state Sen. Sue Lowden with unelectables. But I don’t because I want a two-party system that offers acceptable choices. And I want a political leadership that can do America’s business without having to sate the populist passions of folks unacquainted with economic realities or the art of compromise.

I used to vote for select Republicans running for national office.

That’s become next to impossible because tea party groups have pushed GOP leaders to treat any cooperation with the Democratic foe as abject surrender. You might like your Republican, but your Republican is no longer free to act his or her conscience without being called all kinds of things.

Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar is a classic conservative with a deep understanding of foreign affairs. Tea partiers are very upset with him for pushing an arms reduction agreement with Russia. Why would they object to a treaty that has the full support of the U.S. military establishment? There’s no rational explanation other than ignorance of the world we live in — or perhaps a simple lust to push powerful people around.

Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch should be nobody’s idea of a liberal, but the tea party faction has been sending him through the wringer for voting yes on the financial bailout — the only responsible way to go — and

for improving children’s health coverage. The Tea Party Express ultimately backed off on a primary challenge to Hatch in 2012. But it has left blood in the water around which the anti-tax Club for Growth has started circling.

That was a strange spectacle, Rep. Michele Bachmann competing with her party’s official response to President Obama’s State of the Union address with her “tea party” version.

More jarring still was Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz’s apparent need to apologize to the Minnesota Republican for calling this “bad form.”

After a couple of drinks, a moderate Republican friend confided that he sometimes wishes his party would nominate Sarah Palin for president, get its clock cleaned, then go back to being old-fashioned, thinking conservatives. I ventured that the angry right is not the allpowerful force it purports to be. The Republican leadership might figure this out before the 2012 election and stand up to its incoherent demands.

Otherwise, the GOP’s 2010 triumph will be a onetime deal. Presidential races bring out a broader electorate. One of the choices is very likely to be Barack Obama, whose ardent supporters are not necessarily older white people who think that every government program, except for Medicare, is socialism.

Meanwhile, an improved economy will have left voters in a better mood. And those still determined to “throw the bums out” will find more Republicans among the bums.

Thus, the strong tea party brew will be greatly diluted by liberals, moderates and old-school conservatives. Republicans would do themselves a favor by recognizing this sooner rather than later: They need not fear the displeasure of Michele Bachmann as much as the displeasure she stirs in others.

(A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)

To the editor, An open letter to New Hampshire citizens: My name is Jeffrey Thurston. My family and I have operated a marina and boat dealership on Lake Winnipesaukee for the last 39 years. During that time we all have seen boating take on different dimensions in the number, size, and speed at which boats and personal watercraft are operating. Prior to the implementation of the current lakewide 45/30 boating speed limits, it had been “uncomfortable” for many of the people I deal with as customers to go out on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Someone and something had to change, and that change this past season has been widely noted as the best thing to happen to family boating in a long time.

As many of you know, Winnipesaukee is comprised of more than 14 bays and over 250 islands. It is not one large bowl of water. It is up to the state to view the lake as a shared resource with emphasis on sustainability and the maximum diversity of users. The state’s own figures show there are more boats on the water today than in the past. As the density increases, it is difficult to imagine that unlimited speed could be tolerated, as long as boats stay an arbitrary 150-ft. apart.

With large off-shore type boats capable of speeds well in excess of 70 mph, 250+hp personal watercraft only 11ft. long, and low-profile fishing boats with 250+hp engines, how can anyone argue with the need to put a

cap on how fast an individual boater can operate in the presence of others?

This is particularly true when you consider how difficult it is to see some of these smaller PWC and boat types approaching. The argument becomes even more indefensible at night.

In all cases, the important sense of well-being for passengers on a boat subjected to others operating in such a manner is removed. Boat owners complained that the lake had lost its’ “FUN” feel when you were constantly wondering where and when something might come flying out at you and your family. Is that the legacy New Hampshire wants for their bestknown lake? I certainly hope not, and I’m confident that a large majority of the public agrees.

This law worked well in New Hampshire these past seasons, as it has in many other states for years.

This speed limits law will not stop ANYONE from boating, but will instill and reinforce a sense of what is proper behavior on the state’s most important waterway. Only the Legislature can preserve this reality, and we are counting on them to keep sustainable use of Lake Winnipesaukee a treasured achievement. Support the current boating 45/30 speed limits law without any changes by contacting your Senator and Representatives to vote down SB-27.

To the editor, Mr. Matos makes what I consider an immoral plea at the beginning of his letter (Sun, Feb. 2), send tax money to my employer, but for a moral good: charitable works. Helping people is always a moral good but should ask: is forcing people to do so a moral act itself? For the charity’s good intentions, I twice am made out to be immoral, first for apparently being a skinflint (being a member of that committee) and not wishing to help people and secondarily, taken to woodshed for NOT doing what I consider an immoral act.

In a larger sense, I must act immorally by giving my assent to the taking

of more of someone else’s private property (their money) than otherwise necessary (in supporting Lee Matos’s charity). For doing this on a street corner, this forceful taking (often called stealing), I would be correctly labeled a thief. As a politician doing so, (or even as a voter) I am called a “good man”. Dichotomy, anyone?

This really is not about charitable giving (by definition, as paying a tax bill is not a charitable act) but is all about my respect for the property of others. How can I, in good conscience, recommend that property taxes be raised beyond what is absolutely necessary, and over which good folks in see CHARITY next page

LETTERS Did the authors of Senate Bill 27 actually bother to read it?

To the editor, The fast boating organization that hides behind the phony moniker “Safe Boaters” has managed to convince a group of naive legislators to submit Senate Bill 27, which would repeal Lake Winnipesaukee’s very functional boating speed limit. In order to understand just how nonsensical the new law being proposed is, and how irrelevant it is for boating on a lake, one only needs to look at the bill.

Of course, we know that many legislators vote on bills these days without having read them, but hopefully, that will not be the case with this huge, complicated and undecipherable proposal.

The current law basically says 45 MPH during the day unless conditions call for a slower speed, and 30 mph at night, unless conditions call for a slower speed. Sounds easy to understand and sounds plenty fast enough, right? Now look at what some legislators, elected by us to restore fiscal sanity to Concord, are doing with their time instead: (Comments in parentheses are mine.)

SENATE BILL 27 This bill replaces the speed limit for Lake Winnipesaukee with a general limit for all vessels. This bill also modifies the penalties for certain boating violations.

General Rules for Vessels Operating on Water. RSA 270-D:2, X is repealed and reenacted to read as follows: X.(a) Every vessel shall at all times proceed at a safe speed that is reasonable and prudent under the existing conditions and with regard for the actual and potential hazards then existing so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid endangering or colliding with any person, CHARITY from preceding page

vessel, object, or shore (so far, this has all been the same as the current law) and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions. In determining a safe speed the following factors shall be among those taken into account: (1) By all vessels: (A) The state of visibility.

(B) The traffic density including concentrations of fishing vessels or any other vessels. (fishing vessels?)

(C) The manageability of the vessel with special reference to stopping distance and turning ability in the prevailing conditions. (How many boaters know the stopping distance and turning ability of their boat on water at 25 mph versus at 75 mph “in the prevailing conditions”? How many boaters are even able to calculate those, assuming they knew the weight and hydrodynamic frictional characteristics of their hull? Are we adding questions to the certification exam to ensure that future boaters will able to make these calculations?

Are we going to start letting them use calculators in the exam? And what about already-certified boaters who are not able to make these calculations? I know I could never do it, even at 25 mph. Imagine someone flying across The Broads at 80MPH with his stereo blasting while trying to make this calculation?)

(D) At night, the presence of background light such as from shore lights or from back scatter from her own lights.(So the “back scattering from your own lights is now going to be a factor in determining whether or not you were speeding? Imagine a lawyer explaining to a jury how the MP offisee next page

Gilford would have no recourse, to send money to a charity to which they otherwise might not give? How is that morally correct, to take that which is not mine to give?

Or is it a case of “the ends justifies the means”?

When all of the arguments for and against such actions are cleared away like leaves on a fall day ...we finally get down to the actual issue. Is it morally correct to demand that someone else’s money be taken from them to support a charity of your choosing simply because you believe it to be a good idea? Perhaps, good works and a good cause may result (and in this case, perhaps provide Lee Matos with continued employment), but does that ever justify that taking of private property perhaps against their will?

The topic of the political day, with

the rise of the TEA Party movement is a renewed emphasis on the question of “What is the proper role of Government”? Allied questions concern the coercion that can be legally executed by government, as well as increasing dependencies upon government. In this case, we see all three combined into one stew pot. Plainly spoken, we see charitable agencies that have become too dependent upon the government tax teat crying out for politicians to keep that spigot open, and asking to use the force of government (go ahead, try NOT paying one’s property taxes) to lay claim to that money. Should government be in the practice of taking money from some to give to others no matter how good the charitable cause?

Shouldn’t this be left to individuals to decide for themselves?

BELMONT from preceding page planning combines with community collaboration. The 1996 PlanNH charrette was a catalyst in that awardwinning effort.

Belmont Village shows visible accomplishments each season, and more revitalization initiatives are underway — from distinctive and energy-efficient outside lighting upgrades — to the beautification of a new park in front

LETTERS Pres. Obama talks well alright, but he does not do the walk To the editor, I know most everyone saw President Obama’s State of the Union speech. Well, he is a SMOOTH, SLICK, TALKER! He took most of the lines talked about from the tea party. How good was that?

Guess he said what Americans wanted to hear. He will not keep most of his promises. What else is new?

Obamacare is going to hurt all seniors. We have a mess coming down the pike. When the cities and states go broke then what happens? He talked about electric cars. Where do the batteries go after their cycle is over? There are many questions to the many things he was saying. He wants to cut Medicare and Medicaid spending. I guess this means he will be in charge of what the doctors get. The seniors count on Medicare. No cost of living increase for the past two years is not enough for from preceding page

(E) The state of wind, sea, and current, and the proximity of navigational hazards. (The state of the “sea”?

The “current”?...on Lake Winnipesaukee? Did anyone read this bill before submitting it? And now the wind is now going to be a factor in determining whether or not you were speeding?

(C) The effect on radar detection of the sea state, weather, and other sources of interference. (This is a LAKE!!! Did these legislators even read the bill they introduced?)

LETTERS To gain understanding of my philosophy go to www.studentsfirst.org To the editor, My name is Mark Billings and I am a candidate for the Member At Large position on the Inter-Lakes School Board. My wife Martha and I live in Meredith, two of our three sons, now in their late twenties also live in the area, and we all care deeply about our community.

Americans live in a very challenging time right now and we face very tough issues. Now, more than any time that I can remember, we the citizens must step up, work together and take responsibility for finding solutions.

There is no greater challenge, nor more important issue than the education of our children, and I choose to invest my time, my energy, my knowledge and my passion in the search for answers to the critical issues we face.

My wife is a retired elementary school teacher, my sister and her husband are both public school teachers and many of my heroes are the teachers I had growing up in a small, rural cooperative school district in Massachusetts. There is a nationwide revolution taking place in public education as our children are falling further and further behind their global peers and the economics of our current system is becoming completely unsustainable. Change is imminent, whether we want it or not, and we as a school district must decide whether we will lead that change or fall victim to it — I choose the former.

By way of background, I spent my professional career in the financial services industry, specifically investment banking and asset management.

My specialty is macro-economics and financial analysis and one of my passions is the study of history and longterm economic trends. I am a fiscal conservative and a social moderate with no particular party affiliation. I am a member of the Meredith Conservation Commission, a member of the Meredith Energy Committee and I was co-chair of the Page Pond and Forest Conservation Project recently completed in Meredith.

The best way I can articulate my philosophy regarding public education is to refer you to the recently founded national organization www.studentsfirst.org. I recommend everyone who

cares about this issue take the time to read the Mission Statement and Policy Agenda. This is also my core philosophy, with the full understanding that it must be modified to the unique characteristics of our school district. As a macro-economist I know these changes will take time, but we must start now and our goal should be nothing less than being the best public school system in the state of New Hampshire. My focus is one of reaching out to all constituents, embracing inclusion, encouraging great debate and fostering creative and innovative thinking in the search for solutions. I believe in transparency, collaboration and the idea that ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

I strongly believe we must tap into the phenomenal human resources we have in our communities and inspire them join us. To achieve this goal, I would propose that the school board establish its own web site as a means of reaching out to and engaging the public. I see this as a tool with three functions: first, as a bulletin board fostering greater transparency in the management our schools, second, as a discussion forum, a place where people can come and ask questions and share their ideas and third, as a link to other web sites such as “Students First.” We are not alone in dealing with our issues and it makes great sense to see what other communities and organizations are doing.

Finally, as a school board member, I will fairly represent all of the people within our school district in the management of our education process. I would appreciate the chance to meet you at the School District Public Hearing on February 7 at 6:30 in the I-LHS Community Auditorium, at the March 8 polls in Meredith, Center Harbor, and Sandwich, at the School District Meeting on March 12 at 10 a.m. in the I-LHS Gymnasium, or at any Meet the Candidates Forums which might be planned within our District. You can also reach me at 603 279-8572 or email at windywalls@aol.com.

Please cast your I-L School Board Member At Large vote for Mark Billings on March 8, 2011.

Ward Bird home, finds freedom from jail ‘exhilarating’

CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire farmer freed after his three-year sentence for threatening a trespasser with a gun was commuted said Thursday it was exhilarating to wake up to the sounds of his four children bustling around his home.

Ward Bird, whose cause was championed by gun rights activists, tea party members and libertarians across the “Live Free or Die” state, told The Associated Press that he can’t yet grasp the extent of media coverage and political outcry his case has generated.

“I’m a lot out of the loop on that,” the 49-year-old Bird said in a telephone interview from his home. “I’ve only gotten bits and pieces of information in jail.”

Bird told Gov. John Lynch and the Executive Council at Tuesday’s pardon hearing that he never waved or pointed a gun at Christine Harris when she drove to the back of his remote house in search of property for sale.

The Executive Council voted unanimously to grant Bird a full pardon on the criminal threatening with a firearm charge. Lynch vetoed that, however, saying the judicial branch thoroughly reviewed and affirmed Bird’s 2008 conviction and he would not undermine that.

The council then voted unanimously to commute Bird’s mandatory, minimum three-year sentence, and Lynch let that vote stand, saying he had concerns about whether the punishment fit the crime.

Bird’s testimony Tuesday marked the first time he’d been outside jail since his incarceration Nov. 17, after the state Supreme Court affirmed his conviction and sentence. Although he wore a dark suit to the hearing, he was still a prisoner and prohibited from having contact with his wife, Ginny, or their children, ages 4 to 18, seated in the front row.

“That was very tough, not to be able to go over and give them all a big hug,” Bird said. “That was a roller coaster for me. I wanted to try to focus on the job at hand — making sure the governor and Executive Council got their answers.”

A full pardon would have restored the rights Bird lost with his felony conviction, including the right to possess firearms. “It’s somewhat frustrating, but there’s no anger involved,” Bird said. “It is what it is.”

Bird sold off his collection of two dozen guns, most of them antiques, “and was able to pay some bills,” he said.

Bird was released at about 9:15

p.m. Wednesday and went home to a late supper of pork chops. His house Thursday morning was a blur of friends and family members dropping by to hug him and welcome him home.

He said it’s been overwhelming.

“I’m still struggling to get out of prison,” Bird said. “My brain is still in there. I’m trying to get reacclimated.”

He didn’t sleep much his first night home because he’s accustomed to waking up every half-hour as guards made their rounds. But he said waking up to the silence outside his hilltop home and the sounds of family within was “exhilarating” and “very calming.”

Bird had time to think while behind bars and said he plans to change his life in ways he wouldn’t specify, saying they are “more personal, more religious.”

During deliberations, several councilors said they had serious concerns about the credibility of Bird’s accuser.

They said jurors in his 2008 trial never heard about her extensive criminal record, including convictions for animal cruelty and writing bad checks.

Bird says he would have nothing to say if he encountered Harris on the streets.

“I’ve forgiven her,” Bird said. “She’s not someone I would spend much time talking to. I have better people to talk to.”

Bird, a sixth-generation farmer, said his stint behind bars delayed his preparation for spring planting on his Picnic Rocks Farm, but said setbacks are ingrained in farming.

“Not that this would be in anyone’s farm plan,” he said.

ALTON from page one properties, have come to light.

In addition, at some point within the past two months second-in-command Lt. Richard Vanderhoof was placed on paid administrative leave for reasons unknown.

On Jan. 7, Vanderhoof filed suit against the town for $124,000 claiming the department never paid him for hours worked for being an on-call supervisor who is below the level of department head.

He also claims he was not paid for $3,584 in overtime pay and $1,247 for the times he was called into work to perform alcohol breath tests because he was the only one in the department trained to do them.

The Alton Police Department is no stranger to controversy.

In November of 2006, the town placed 17-year veteran Police Chief Kevin Iwans, Capt. Charles Anderson and Lt. Ed Correia on leave, later firing Iwans for mismanagement and Correia for following Iwans orders and keeping his mouth shut.

Anderson was brought back but

soon retired.

In March of 2008, the voters rejected the re-election bids of Selectman Arnold “Pete” Shibley and Cris Blackstone — the two selectmen most closely associated with Iwans and Correia’s firings — for Peter Bolster and William Curtin.

During the interim, Heath was promoted to captain and acting chief.

The town hired veteran police officer Philip Smith as chief in the fall of 2007. He served for two years, retiring in October of 2009 and selectmen named Heath to be chief.

Correia took his termination all the way to the N.H. Supreme Court losing his appeal in October of 2009. The court ruled unanimously the town had the right to fire him and was not acting improperly when it named Sessler as the hearings officer for Correia’s initial challenge of his firing.

While Sessler acted as the town hearings officer, the town itself was represented by Atty. Melissa Guldbrandsen.

She was awarded the police department prosecutor contract in January of see next page

The forum was originally scheduled for Laconia City Hall but was moved to the Historic Belknap Mill (“New Hampshire’s Meeting Place”) because upwards of 100 people showed up. A story about the meeting will appear in Saturday’s Daily Sun. (Alan MacRae/for The Laconia Daily Sun)

SHUTTLE from page one Kelly spent the past month debating whether to step down as commander of Endeavour’s two-week mission.

In the meantime, NASA named a backup commander, Rick Sturckow, who joined crew training.

Kelly, 46, has flown three times aboard space shuttles; April’s space station delivery mission would be his fourth. Endeavour’s liftoff with a crew of six is targeted for April 19th.

The fact that Sturckow is not listed for the press conference is telling, indicating that Kelly will launch as scheduled, said Howard McCurdy, a public policy professor and space expert at American University in Washington, D.C. And because it will be one of the last two launches and because of the drama behind the shooting of from preceding page 2010, which is budgeted for $54,000 for 2011.

Guldbrandsen is one of three people to apply for the job as Belknap County Attorney.

Bailey said yesterday that while he couldn’t comment on the status of either Vanderhoof’s administrative leave or Heath’s tax problems saying the two are ongoing personnel matters.

his wife, that shuttle launch will “get the same kind of attention that the (1998) John Glenn mission” received, McCurdy said. NASA is retiring the shuttle fleet this year; three missions remain.

McCurdy suggested the public will embrace Kelly’s decision, because it provides a sense of normalcy.

N.H. House committee quickly ditches bill that would have limited Bike Week fees

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — The sponsor of legislation that, among other things, would have prohibited cities and towns from levying licensing fees for itinerant vendors of more than $10 promptly removed the controversial provision after learning that it would have what Fire Chief Ken Erickson called “a devastating impact” on Motorcycle Week in Laconia.

When House Bill 252 was heard by the House Executive Departments and Administration Committee yesterday Representatives Frank Tilton, Harry Accornero and Bob Luther, all Laconia Republicns, together with Licensing Clerk Lindsay Allen, Jennifer Andersen of the Laconia Motorcycle Week Association and Erickson were on hand to speak against it.

At the outset Representative Paul Mirski (E-Enfield) offered an amendment to remove several provisions that together would have stripped municipalities of much of their authority over hawkers, peddlers and vendors. He told the committee that he originally intended only to repeal a statute adopted last year that authorized, without requiring, municipalities to conduct a federal criminal background check on applicants for hawker, peddler and vendor licenses as well as designating any violation of local ordinances a misdemeanor. Mirski said he found the background check “onerous” and the penalty excessive.

However, Mirski explained that several of his cosponsors added the provision to cap the licensing fee and repealed the longstanding authority of cities and towns to regulate where and when itinerant vendors can operate and to set “other reasonable conditions and terms deemed necessary for public convenience and safety.”

The day before the hearing Representative Frank Tilton (R-Laconia) advised Mirski that these provisions of his bill would have an adverse impact on administering Motorcycle Week. In Laconia, the license fee for itinerant vendors is $50 for a one-time event or for a month.

But, during Motorcycle Week the city charges vendors $450 for each space they occupy and surcharges those selling food another $50. from preceding page promote the Monkey Trunks arrival at Funspot. Children aged eight and younger are invited to suggest a name for the company’s monkey mascot. Older children are asked to submit a design for a challenge course, the winning design will be built and named after its creator. The entry deadline for each contest is noon on February 28. Visit www.monkeytrunks.com for more information.

“I think it’s going to be great for the area,” said Lawton. “Everybody at Funspot is excited – a new attraction for the Weirs.”

The proceeds from license fees represent more than three-quarters of the revenue that funds municipal and emergency services during the rally.

When Mirski appeared before the committee he said “it was not my intention to go there is the first place” and offered to amend the bill to simply repeal the law authorizing federal background checks and reduce the penalty for violating local licensing ordinances from a misdemeanor to a violation.

Representative James Parison (R-New Ipswich), a co-sponsor of the bill, confessed to proposing capping licensing fees, explaining that he worked his way through college and graduate school as a doorto-door salesman and found local licensing fees excessive. But, he acknowledged the issue was “problematical” and apologized.

However, another co-sponsor, Seth Cohn (R-Canterbury) urged the committee to consider replacing he diverse local ordinances with “some uniformity of standards” as proposed by the bill. He said that in some towns little girls could be prosecuted for selling lemonade, as happened in Oregon.

“One size does not fit all,” Tilton told the committee. “I’d just as soon see this bill go away.” He said that “the $10 annual fee doesn’t work,” explaining that the vendor fees must fund much of the cost of providing municipal services during the

annual motorcycle rally. Likewise, without authority to regulate when and where vendors can operate, the city would be unable to manage the rally.

Tilton also favored enabling municipalities to seek a federal background check. Chiding his Republican colleagues, he said “leave it to the communities.

We don’t need to be doing these things at the state level.”

Erickson said that without the proceeds from vendor fees, the city would be compelled to raise property taxes or reduce municipal spending by some $130,000, withdraw public services from Motorcycle Week or cancel the annual rally. He also asked the committee to retain the option of seeking a federal background check. As a member of the Licensing Board, he said that license applications have been denied, especially from vendors selling sexually explicit and racially bigoted materials. Our licensing process and fee structure has been scrutinized and upheld by the courts.

Representative Laura Gandia (R-Litchfield), who authored the legislation authorizing the federal background checks, asked the committee to reject the bill and leave the current statute in force.

THE ALL NEW EXPLORER HAS ARRIVED!

The first task of the Advisory Committee will be to prepare a business plan, for purchasing the property and initiating its development. Last April, with $15,000 from an anonymous donor, the city acquired an option to purchase the property — the auditorium, 18 apartments and four storefronts — for $1.4-million. City Manager Eileen Cabanel has emphasized that although the city holds the option, it does not intend to own or operate the theater, but instead to transfer ownership to a non-profit corporation.

The business plan would also include Webb proposed developing the site in phases, beginning with returning, without fully restoring, the auditorium to a space suitable for performances and films. In addition the space would also be configured with a flat floor to host meetings and banquets. Minimal improvements to the apartments and storefronts would increase their potential to generate revenue. Mechanical systems would be replaced and life safety and accessibility codes would be addressed.

The cost of the first phase has yet to be estimated.

Cabanel said this week that for some time she has been exploring funding sources, including grants from both government agencies and private foundations as well as more innovative programs like “new market tax credits,” which offers investors tax incentives for equity investments in low-income communities. Throughout the city would act as a “facilitator.”

Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) , chairman of the council’s Finance Committee, said that “given the fiscal realities, both in the city and in the state, the local tax base cannot sup-

port a significant investment in the project.” Stressing the need for a business plan, he said that it must include not only the cost of acquiring and reopening the theater but also its ongoing operating costs.

At the same time, Lipman allowed that “the city may have some options to contribute in certain ways.” He mentioned the “tax increment financing” (TIF), which applies a share of incremental increases in the property tax base in a defined downtown district to public investment within that district. Likewise, he suggested that the city might form a partnership with the School District or Lakes Region Community College that would enable it to leverage funding from the state for the project. But, he repeated “if can’t be something that is a burden to the tax base.”

“It would be fiscally irresponsible to invest any more than we already have,” declared Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4), referring to the $50,000 set aside for the feasibility study and other soft costs. “There is no point in spending more money.” She acknowledged that the restoration of the theater “could change the face of downtown” and agreed “we should do everything we can to promote the project,” but insisted “the city is not in a financial position to do any more at this point. Somebody has to come up with deep pockets.”

Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) said flatly “the city should not make a significant investment in the project.”

Referring to the term of the option, he said that “if August comes and we don’t have the money, it sits there. I’m not using the taxpapyers’ to buy that theater.” Hamel remarked “I would like to see it happen. and the city see next page

Sweet-Heart Get-Away Special

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Gov. John Lynch told a House committee Thursday he opposes an antiunion right-to-work bill that would end the practice of requiring nonunion members to pay a share of collective bargaining costs.

In a letter to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services Committee, Lynch said the bill being considered would undercut the collective bargaining process in New Hampshire.

“Over the years, our state Legislature has consistently recognized the good relationship that exists between management and labor in New Hampshire by rejecting this type of legislation and allowing individual businesses and their workers to determine their own labor agreements,” he wrote.

Lynch did not say whether he would veto the bill.

More than 300 people filled the House chamber Thursday for a hearing on the bill that also would prohibit future collective bargaining agreements from requiring workers to join a union or pay the fair share fee as a condition of employment. Most opposed the bill, including many union members.

The fair share payments are made instead of union dues to help cover the costs of negotiations and administering contracts. Federal law requires unions to negotiate benefits for all workers, union and nonunion alike. Contract negotiations determine whether an agreement contains a fair share requirement. No one can be required to join a union.

Labor Commissioner George Copadis testified against the bill and said the six previous labor commissioners going back decades also had opposed right-to-work legislation.

“As we have heard often, right to work offers workers one thing: the right to work for less,” he said.

Copadis said he had held meetings with 2,000 New Hampshire businesses over the six years he has been commissioner and the issue of right-towork legislation never came up.

“This issue is just not on anyone’s radar screen other than when I come to testify before this committee,” he said.

State Rep. Al Baldasaro, a Republican from Londonderry and bill co-sponsor, said unions should not force workers to give up their money by telling them they can’t work there otherwise.

“It’s extortion. It has to stop,” he said.

Baldasaro said workers should be able to negotiate individually with companies. If they don’t want to be part of a union, they should not get any union services, he said.

“No one should be forced to pay dues to an organization they don’t belong to,” said state Rep. Will Smith, a New Castle Republican and the bill’s prime sponsor. Smith said job growth has been better in the 22 states with right-to-work laws.

But Copadis cited statistics that rank New Hampshire with the 10th highest per capita income while six right-to-work states rank near the bottom.

“The state of New Hampshire is not economically stagnant. The state of New Hampshire offers low unemployment, low taxes and a great place to raise a family,” he said. “There is no crying need for changing this New Hampshire advantage and setting the clock back to lower wages for employees.”

NH BUDGET from page 2 “In principle we agree we need to live within our means and not increase taxes and fees,” he said of any talks with the House over the budget.

House Democratic Leader Terie Norelli called O’Brien’s proposal irresponsible and makes it likely the state would shift costs onto communities and local property taxpayers. She said the tax cut averages out to $1.22 per resident.

“Their revenue estimates are not in line with reality and their tax gimmick is an attempt to distract the people from this irresponsible plan,” said Norelli of Portsmouth.

Democratic Gov. John Lynch delivers his budget to the Legislature on Feb. 15.

State agencies estimated last fall that the cost of maintaining existing staff and programs would cost the state $3.7 billion, or 31 percent more, for programs funded with state taxes over the next two years. That does not include more than $1 billion in education aid. The total budget when federal and other funding sources are added would be $12.4 billion, or a 14 percent increase.

Lynch told agencies to prepare budgets that are 5 percent below this fiscal year.

EGYPT from page 2 White House spokesman Robert Gibbs denounced reports of “systematic targeting” of journalists and the State Department described it as a “concerted campaign to intimidate.”

“I think we need to be clear that the world is watching the actions that are taking place right now in Egypt,” Gibbs said.

Human rights activists were also targeted. Military police stormed the offices of an Egyptian rights group as activists were meeting and arrested at least 30, including two from the London-based Amnesty International, Amnesty spokesman Tom Mackey said. New York-based Human Rights Watch said one of its activists was also among those arrested.

Amnesty’s secretary-general Salil Shetty zemanded their immediate release saying they should be allowed “to monitor the human rights situation in Egypt at this crucial time without fear of harassment or detention.”

Mubarak’s top ally, the United States, has pressed from preceding page should help it along, but as a facilitator. That’s it.”

Councilor Ava Doyle (Ward 1) did not attend the presentation and noted that she joined the council after the city acquired the option to buy the property. She said that she recognizes the importance of the theater to the downtown. “It is a huge piece of the downtown,” she said. “If it can be done, it’s a worthy project.”

But, like the majority of her colleagues, Doyle said “I would certainly not be in favor of buying it and the city has no business running a theater.” She said that the city has shown “strong support” and noted

him to quickly transition to a democratic government but has said his earlier gestures, including forming a new government, were insufficient.

The crisis that began on Jan. 25 when protesters launched the biggest challenge ever to Mubarak’s 30-year rule has grown perilous. The day after Mubarak went on television late Tuesday and refused to step down, thousands of his supporters attacked anti-government protesters in Tahrir Square, where they had held a peaceful vigil for days.

The Mubarak supporters started fierce battles with firebombs, machetes and chunks of pavement that lasted throughout the night and all day Thursday.

After nightfall, the fighting died down with protesters’ hold on the square and nearby streets unbroken. Nearly 10,000 remained, some dancing and singing in victory as others — battered and bandaged — lay down exhausted to sleep or drank tea in the center of the rubble-strewn roundabout.

Throughout the day, they gained in numbers and got supplies of food and medicine. that “if it ever moves forward, I would hope that whoever moves it forward might reimburse the city for what it has spent.”

Only Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) allowed that a municipal investment might be required to ensure the success of the project. “I can’t imagine we’re not going to do something with that building,” he said.

“I think the city would have to play a role, like it did with the library. It has got to be a joint public-private partnership,” he continued. “Otherwise I don’t think we’ll get there.”

Councilor Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) could not be reached on Thursday.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis of fancy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s not that others don’t appreciate you -- they do. They just don’t know how to show you. You have to make the effort to appreciate yourself, and that will teach them what to do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You have a stronger idea about how a relationship should go, and it will take the other person a while to catch on.

And though your idea is brilliant, don’t push it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There are things that are more important to you than your leisure time, though you’re not concerned with them now.

You’ll enjoy yourself on your own terms and protect your free time from all possible intruders.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have mixed feelings about a business venture. If you don’t make a decision before the week is over, you will still be fine. But next week will ask you to choose sides.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In order to hold on to your identity and lead life the way you want to, you will have to say no to someone. The first time is always the hardest, and you are made stronger by the effort.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 4). You accept big changes as a challenge and will be graceful in your handling of them.

You take initiative in a relationship this month to great effect. You’ll be inspired by a new goal in March. In May, you’ll go against a trend and make money. July sees you expanding your personal property. Pisces and Sagittarius people think you’re amazing. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 38 and 27.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The wise Greek dramatist Aeschylus noted that in war, truth is the first casualty. Today, you won’t exactly be doing battle, but you will have an opponent, and you should listen carefully to decipher truth from fiction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will enjoy working with others and will seek activities that put you in public favor. It’s not because you need to be liked, but because you already are liked and desire to build on that foundation now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Small questions lead to deep answers. And yet, if you ask a question that seems impossibly deep and complicated in nature, you will likely get a very simple, practical reply.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Why does the one who is in charge seem to be very discombobulated? Perhaps it’s an act, or maybe this person really needs someone as organized as you to step up and be his or her right hand.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is someone who makes a lot of noise in your life. It’s as though you’re on a long road trip with this person and he or she is the only one who has access to the radio dial. This will change soon, though.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You now have an incentive to finish your work quickly. You want to get it done so you can move on to a new area of interest.

This fresh new energy in your life is certainly making you more productive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You would love to frolic with the free spirits in your midst, but you’re far too practical to leave your grounded place in reality today. You’re the stable influence that allows the others to go off on their flights

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 4, 1861, delegates from six southern states that had recently seceded from the Union met in Montgomery, Ala., to form the Confederate States of America.

On this date: In A.D. 211, Roman Emperor Lucius Septimius Severus died at age 65.

In 1783, Britain’s King George III proclaimed a formal cessation of hostilities in the American Revolutionary War. In 1789, electors chose George Washington to be the first president of the United States.

In 1941, the United Service Organizations (USO) came into existence.

In 1961, Angola began its war of independence from Portuguese colonial rule.

(Although independence was achieved in 1975, the country was then plunged into a 27-year civil war.)

In 1974, newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst was kidnapped in Berkeley, Calif., by the Symbionese Liberation Army.

In 1976, more than 23,000 people died when a severe earthquake struck Guatemala with a magnitude of 7.5, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

In 1999, Amadou Diallo, an unarmed West African immigrant, was shot and killed in front of his Bronx home by four plainclothes New York City police officers. (The officers were acquitted at trial.)

Ten years ago: In the NHL All-Star game, the North America team beat the World squad 14-12. In the Pro Bowl, the AFC defeated the NFC, 38-17.

One year ago: Republican Scott Brown took over the seat of the late Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy as he was sworn in

by Vice President Joe Biden at a Capitol Hill ceremony.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Our children gave my husband and me a surprise anniversary party. They invited friends we had not seen in many years, including “Frank and Mary.”

Frank and I were always good friends. We even had a minor crush on each other, although neither of us did anything about it. After the party, Frank and I exchanged e-mail addresses and cell phone numbers and have kept in touch. I have not mentioned this to my husband because he tends to be quite jealous and I didn’t want him to overreact.

Here’s the problem, Annie: Frank has asked me on a lunch date, saying it would be nice for us to get together and talk about old times. I think it would be OK. I don’t intend to do it a second time, and we’re not meeting where we could be seen by someone who knows us. We’re sure our spouses will never find out.

I know my husband would not approve of this, and to be perfectly honest, if the situation were reversed, I would be furious. I feel flattered that Frank has asked me. I don’t think it will do any harm, and I have no intention of letting it escalate.

Does this seem sneaky? I see it as quite innocent. I love my husband and don’t intend to jeopardize our marriage. The last thing I want to do is hurt him or ruin the trust he has had in me all these years. Am I acting like an infatuated teenager?

-- Mixed Emotions Dear Mixed: Yes. You admit that you would be furious if your husband did the same thing. No matter how innocent, it would undermine your trust, and you would never be sure he wasn’t interested in an affair. Be honest with yourself. You and Frank are flirting. We know it’s exciting, but you also are vulnerable to his attention, and there are no guarantees your husband won’t find out. The correspondence is enough of

a risk, and if this were truly innocent, your spouses would know about it. You are asking for trouble with a capital T. Dear Annie: When families of a deceased person request that in lieu of flowers a contribution be made to a specific charity, the charity usually sends a notification of the contribution to the family and an acknowledgement to the donor.

Should the family of the deceased also send a thank-you note to the donor? I was brought up to do so, but I seldom receive any acknowledgement of my donations from the family.

-- Jay Dear Jay: Yes, the family should also acknowledge any kindness, including a donation. We are pleased that you do so, but not everyone is aware of this obligation.

Dear Annie: I had to add my two cents to the responses to “Crowded by the Ex,” who resented her husband’s ex-wife.

My parents divorced when my sister and I were toddlers.

Both of them married others. My mother and stepfather made a loving home for us. They took us to Chicago to see shows, museums, etc. They also took us to see our dad on the weekends. At Dad’s, we played in the park, rode bikes, tossed a football, saw a Cubs game and more. Dad was always welcome at our house for birthdays and holidays, and my mother and stepfather were welcome in his. Mom and I have spent Thanksgiving with my father and stepmother, and Dad and his wife have spent Christmas at Mom’s house. I had two dads for Father’s Day and two moms for Mother’s Day. When my stepfather passed away, my stepmother and Dad were the first to give their condolences. People can get along after a divorce. There does not have to be bitterness and anger. -- A Lucky Girl in the Midwest Dear Lucky: Your parents were wise enough to put their children first. We wish all divorced parents did the same.

‘The Pin-Up Show’ on exhibit at The Washington Area Printmakers’ 2010 Studio in Laconia through February Original Print Calendar at PSU’s

LACONIA — “The Pin-Up Show,” an exhibit of work by artists from three different countries, several states, and dozens of art backgrounds, will be on display at The Studio through the end of February.

While there are a few references to the original concept of “pin-up,” most of the work is as diverse as the participating artists. Although ranging from visual poetry to original mixed media, color copies, black and white copies, conceptual to realism, all of the submitted art can be hung using only push-pins.

Melissa McCarthy, who came up with the idea for “The Pin-Up Show” explained, “I wanted an exhibit of work that is accessible. Framing can often

create a boundary between the art and the viewer. All of this work is unframed, hung with one or two pushpins. I hope this creates a more intimate, less intimidating gallery/viewer experience.”

The work is also affordable. In lieu of money, the “purchase price” of each piece is a donation of non-perishable food for the local St. Vincent de Paul food pantry.

McCarthy hopes that the connection will be made, not with the cliché of the “starving artist,” but that art feeds the community figuratively — and in the case of “The Pin-Up Show” — literally.

The Studio is open 10 a.m. — 5 p.m.

Wednesday — Friday; 10 a.m. — 3 p.m. Saturday or by appointment.

Call 455-8008 or visit www.thestudionh.blogspot.com.

LACONIA — A free public information session on the purpose, application, installation, and funding of rain gardens will be held at the Belknap County Complex from 10 — 11:30 a.m. on Friday, February 18.

This session is open to the public, municipal employees, municipal boards and all other interested parties. Amanda Costello of the Cheshire County Conservation District and Lisa Morin of the Belknap County Conservation District will speak about rain gardens installed in both Keene and Center Harbor.

A rain garden is a bowl-shaped garden designed to capture and absorb

rainfall and snowmelt or stormwater.

As the water runs off surfaces such as rooftops, parking lots, roads, exposed soil, chemically treated lawns, and pet waste, it accumulates pollution. If the stormwater is not allowed to soak into the soil, it carries those pollutants into streams, ponds, and lakes. One way to help stop this is to capture the stormwater before it leaves one’s property and funnel it into a rain garden where plants and soil can help strip pollutants out of the water.

Anyone interested in attending the presentation should R.S.V.P. by calling the Belknap County Conservation District at 527-5880 on or before February 14.

Rehabilitation & exercise benefits abundant at Taylor Community Woodside pool

LACONIA — The Woodside pool on the grounds of the Taylor Community has been helping its residents and members make strides toward better health for almost five years through rehabilitation, exercise, and relaxation.

When the temperature is below zero outside, the

pool room is a balmy 82 degrees and the water a therapeutic 90. Many physical therapists recommend the pool to their patients as a place that is quiet and comfortable to rehabilitate after an injury or for a health issue. For a minimum fee, monthly memberships for use of the pool and/or fitness rooms

are available for non-residents.

“A lot of patients can’t do much on land, but get into the pool and they can do so much more,” said Mitch Doyon of Gilford Physical Therapy and Spine Center, who has been using the pool since April 2010.

One of Doyon’s patients, Alice Allen of Meredith, goes to the pool twice a week stating, “I can’t describe how much better this pool has made me feel,” she said. Others benefiting from use of the pool include Laconians Pat Baldi and Linda Dutile who said, “Remember the movie ‘Cocoon’ that had the pool with rejuvenating powers? This is the ‘Cocoon’ pool!”

The Taylor Community Woodside pool is open for members who are not residents Monday — Friday.
