GILFORD — Three local men are facing a variety of charges after police found drugs, guns and money in a Saltmarsh Pond home yesterday morning.

Det. Sgt. Kristian Kelly said police executed a search warrant at 23 Saltmarsh Pond Road about 8:30 a.m. and arrested Ryan B. Tuttle, 21, Steven J. Holland, 29, and James A. Durette, 30. Police list the Saltmarsh Pond Home as the residence for all three. see GuNs page 9

LACONIA — With the remains of the Wide Open Saloon still standing a year after a devestating fire, City Manager Scott Myers advised the City Council last night that without cooperation from Brandi Baldi, the owner, it could still take months or more to remove the eyesore at The Weirs.

In late May, the city was successful in getting a ruling from District Court Judge Jim Carroll that ordered Baldi to have the building razed by the start of Motorcycle Week but she appealed that order to Beknap County Superior Court, where the case remains unresolved.

Alternatively, the city can proceed with legal actions aimed at razing the building at public expense and seeking reimbursement afterwards.

“The city does have an option,” Myers said, “but it’s not as simple as going in and taking it down in a week or two.” He said that the city would first have to secure a court order authorizing it to demolish the building, which would likely require demonstrating that it is beyond repair. Next, he said, the court would have to grant a search warrant to authorize an assessment of the property for hazardous materials, especially asbestos. see saLOON page 11

Selectmen work down increases to Belmont police & fire budgets

By AdAm dRApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — Selectmen looked at the 2012 budget requests from the Police and Fire Departments on Monday and took a bite out of each. The next step for the budgets will be examination by the Budget Committee.

Police Chief Vinnie Baiocchetti’s budget was first to receive the selectmen’s scrutiny.

Included in his request was funding to lease four new cruisers. The new vehicles would replace older cars which he said are costing more to maintain than the lease costs of a new vehicle. The usual program for the see BeLMONt page 13

1 dead & thousands flee as typhoon lashes Philippines

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A powerful typhoon slammed ashore the northern Philippines Tuesday, unleashing floods, cutting power and halting work in the capital, Manila. Authorities ordered more than 100,000 people to shelter from rains and wind gusts of up to 106 miles (170 kilometers) per hour.

At least one person — a baby — drowned and four fishermen were reported missing.

Typhoon Nesat made landfall before dawn over eastern mountainous Isabela and Aurora provinces which face the Pacific Ocean, packing sustained winds of 87 mph (140 kph), the government weather bureau said.

With its immense 400-mile (650-kilometer) cloud band, the typhoon threatened to foul weather across the entire main Luzon Island as it moves across the Philippines toward the South China Sea late Wednesday or early Thursday and then heads toward southern China.

Heavy downpours and wind prompted the closure of government offices, schools and universities in the capital, while scores of domestic flights were canceled and inter-island ferries grounded, stranding thousands. The Philippine Stock Exchange and U.S. Embassy were also closed Tuesday.

A year-old baby drowned in the central island province of Cataduanes after falling into a river, the government disaster agency reported. Four fishermen were missing while more than 50 others were rescued along eastern shores after their boats overturned in choppy seas. Forecasters warned of 12-foot-high (4-meter-high) waves.

A tornado in Isabela’s Maconancon town ripped off the roofs of at least five houses, injuring two people, police said.

Power was cut in many parts of Luzon, including in Manila, where hospitals, hotels and emergency services used generators. Tree branches and torn tarpaulins littered the flooded streets. Traffic was light as most people stayed indoors.

About 112,000 people were ordered to leave their homes in five towns prone to flash floods and landslides in central Albay province. By Monday, more than 50,000 had moved to government-run evacuation centers and relatives’ homes, officials said.

“We can’t manage typhoons, but we can manage their effects,” Albay Gov. Joey Salceda said.

Authorities were monitoring farming communities at the base of Mayon volcano in Albay, about 212 miles (340 kilometers) southeast of Manila.

Dow jumps 272 on hopes for Europe fix NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks had their biggest gains in more than two weeks Monday after European officials pledged to take action to resolve the region’s debt problems. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 272 points, making up about a third of last week’s losses.

European ministers told a meeting of global finance leaders in Washington over the weekend that they would take bolder steps to fight the debt crisis, which threatens to slow the global economy. President Barack Obama called on Europe’s leadership Monday to move more quickly to address the problems.

Germany wants banks and private institutions that hold Greek bonds to take a bigger loss on those holdings to reduce Greece’s debt burden. European officials have talked about increasing the size of

Europe’s $595 billion rescue fund by allowing it to take loans from the European Central Bank. Pressure is also mounting for the central bank to lower interest rates.

“The news leaking out of Europe is giving investors hope that the politicians and central bankers in Europe might be putting together a plan,” said Channing Smith, managing director of Capital Advisors Inc. “The devil’s in the details.”

The Dow Jones industrial average shot up 272.38 points, or 2.5 percent, to close at 11,043.86. It was the biggest gain since Sept. 7. JPMorgan Chase & Co. jumped 7 percent to $31.65, the most of the 30 stocks in the Dow. The Standard & Poor’s 500 rose 26.52, or 2.3 persee STOCKS page 12

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Animal rights activists said they pumped fuel into an Idaho fur and fireworks retailer before setting the place ablaze early Monday, and federal agents said they were taking the claim seriously.

Jerry Vlasak, a spokesman for the North American Animal Liberation Press Office in Los Angeles, said he received a message from activists shortly after the fire began at the Rocky Mountain Fireworks & Fur Co., on Monday morning.

“A hole was drilled into their storage space, and several gallons of fuel were pumped through, as well as multiple other charges being set beneath an adjoining structure,” Vlasak said, citing the message.

“Ignition devices were set to finish up our work, once we were safely on our way.”

In addition to fireworks, the business in Caldwell, outside Boise, buys coyote and bobcat pelts and sells trapping supplies, including equipment that helps drown beavers. It also sells knives, predator calls and scents to help lure bobcats.

The fire was reported at about 5 a.m. Idaho Highway 30 and a U.S. Interstate 84 exit were closed down. There were no injuries.

The activists said they belonged to a group called “The Arson Unit” and could have ties to the Animal Liberation Front, Vlasak said. They warned that the store must close its doors permanently.

“Stay in business, and we’ll be back,” their message said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ending weeks of political brinkmanship, Congress finessed a dispute over disaster aid Monday night and advanced legislation to avoid a partial government shutdown only days away.

The agreement ensured there would be no interruption in assistance to areas battered by disasters such as Hurricane Irene and last summer’s tornados in Joplin, Mo., and also that the government would be able to run normally when the new budget year begins on Saturday.

The Senate approved the resolution after a day of behind-the-scenes talks and occasionally biting

debate, spelling an end to the latest in a string of standoffs between Democrats and Republicans over deficits, spending and taxes. Those fights have rattled financial markets and coincided with polls showing congressional approval ratings at historically low levels The breakthrough came hours after the Federal Emergency Management Agency indicated it had enough money for disaster relief efforts through Friday. That disclosure allowed lawmakers to jettison a $1 billion replenishment that had been see CONGRESS page 11

Security Council will take up Palestine bid on Wed. Red Bull-less: UNH to stop selling energy drinks CONCORD (AP) — The University of New Hampshire is going a step further than other campuses that have banned alcoholic energy drinks by targeting nonalcoholic versions as well.

Beginning in January, the university will no longer sell Full Throttle, Red Bull, Moxie Energy and NOS from vending machines or at its seven dining halls, cafes and convenience stores. University officials said Monday they were unaware of other colleges having taken the same step, though at least one other school — Mount St. Mary’s College in Los Angeles — has a policy of not selling energy drinks in its dining halls, but does sell them from vending machines.

“The University of New Hampshire is committed to making its campus the healthiest in the country,” said Rick MacDonald, assistant director of UNH Dining. “This is one of many steps we have taken and will take in accomplishing that goal.”

Energy drinks typically contain more caffeine than soft drinks, along with large amounts of sugar and additional ingredients that claim to boost mental and physical energy. While such products are legal and safe when consumed as intended, they can be unsafe when overused or mixed with alcohol, said David May, assistant vice president for business affairs.

“Just recently there was an incident on campus involving energy drinks that helped send a student to the hospital,” he said.

In a statement, Red Bull emphasized that its product meets federal safety requirements. An 8.4 oz. can of Red Bull contains 80 mg of caffeine, comparable to the estimated 65 to 120 mg of caffeine in an 8 oz. cup of drip coffee. Cola soft drinks have about 35 mg per 8 oz. can.

“These drinks have a similar caffeine content as coffee and do not contain alcohol. Since it would not be right to ban the sale of soda, coffee, or tea on a college campus, it’s also inappropriate and unwarranted to single out and restrict the sale of energy see UNH page 9

Lynch freezes pay levels from state workers not covered by union contracts

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch issued an executive order on Monday freezing wage increases for executive branch workers not covered by union contracts.

The State Employees’ Association, which represents most of the state’s workers, has already agreed to a one-year freeze in step increases in its latest contract with the state. The state continues to negotiate with the New Hampshire Troopers Association and New England Police Benevolent Association.

The state budget requires Lynch to save $50 million in personnel-related costs from classified employees. The freeze affects step increases for other workers until Aug. 30, 2012.

“These continue to be challenging times for our state budget, and I think it is only fair and appropriate that all state employees share in achieving budgetary savings,” Lynch said in a statement.

Lynch press secretary Colin Manning said no money was budgeted for step increases, but the order prevents increases if money becomes available. He said the order affects several hundred managers and political appointees.

It does not apply to the legislative and judicial branches.

The legislative branch froze wage increases in December affecting 158 full and part-time workers.

Judicial branch spokeswoman Laura Kiernan said the courts are treating union and non-union workers the same at this point. The current SEA contract requires payment of step increases, but the courts are negotiating a new contract, she said.

About two-thirds of the non-judicial employees are in the union, she said.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council will meet Wednesday to start the process of formally considering the Palestinian request for membership in the world body, the council president said Monday.

Lebanese Ambassador Nawaf Salam, who holds this month’s rotating presidency, made a brief appearance before reporters Monday and issued a statement in English and Arabic. He said the council had met Monday afternoon and decided to take up a decision on referring the issue for further consideration in two days. That will consist of forming a committee to study the Palestinian submission.

The United States has said it would use its Security Council veto to block Palestinian membership should the measure receive the necessary nine of 15 votes.

That would keep the membership bid from moving forward to the 193-member General Assembly for the needed two-thirds vote. A vote in the Security Council

was not expected for weeks, at the least.

U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to describe confidential diplomacy, said Monday they were telling fellow council members that there’s no rush to act on the bid submitted Friday over U.S. and Israeli objections. The U.S. is also seeking cooperation from other members in persuading the Palestinians not to push for a quick vote.

The U.S. hopes that going slow may allow IsraeliPalestinian peace talks to resume without a confrontation at the world body.

Earlier Monday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Makati at the U.N. to make the U.S. argument.

Lebanon, the only Arab member of the 15-member Council, is expected to support the Palestinian bid.

Senior U.S. officials said Clinton had made separate, similar calls to the foreign ministers of Colombia and China, both of which hold council seats.

Pat Buchanan

Subdividing America for political profit “Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes. Well, I say to them tonight, there’s not a liberal America and a conservative America; there’s the United States of America. There’s not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America.”

That was state Sen. Barack Obama in his keynote address to the 2004 Democratic convention. His rejection of tribal politics, his stirring call to national unity, vaulted him into the Senate and was the first step on the path that took him to the White House.

Well, that was then, but now is now.

According to The Washington Post, Obama’s 2012 campaign is today busily subdividing the nation into racial, ethnic and religious enclaves for targeted appeals to find a “narrow path to victory.”

Setting one tribe against another, one faction against another, divide and conquer, is among the oldest tactics of politics and war.

The Obama campaign headquarters calls its divide-and-conquer strategy “Operation Vote.” Reporter Peter Wallsten describes it: “Operation Vote will function as a large, centralized department in the Chicago campaign office for reaching ethnic, religious and other voter groups. It will coordinate recruitment of an ethnic volunteer base and push out targeted messages online and through the media to different groups, such as blacks, Hispanics, Jews, women, seniors, young people, gays and Asian Americans.”

This is tribal politics, pure and simple. Hire blacks, Hispanics, Jews and gays to appeal to and advance the interests of blacks, Hispanics, Jews and gays. And what happens then to the national interest?

Conspicuously absent from this racial-ethnic-religious targeting is America’s majority, white Christians, who are still 60-percent of the nation. Why no outreach to them?

Have they been written off?

Obama got 43-percent of the white vote in 2008, a higher share than either John Kerry or Al Gore. But his approval rating among whites has fallen to less than a third; even lower among working-class whites. If these folks have come to believe Obama has relegated them to the back of the bus, does not Operation Vote confirm it?

And if targeted appeals to race, ethnicity, religion, gender and sexual orientation is the Obama strategy, 2012 will be among the most divisive elections in U.S. history.

Consider. The Jewish vote in 2008 went for Obama 78 to 21 — a 57-point margin. But the Democrats’ recent defeat in the heavily Jewish congressional district of

Queens, lately represented by Rep. Anthony Weiner, revealed a serious hemorrhaging of support for Obama and his party. One reason: Ed Koch accused Obama of “throwing Israel under the bus.”

Obama’s full-throated tribute to Israel at the United Nations, which threw the cause of Palestinian statehood and 60 years of Palestinian suffering under the bus, appears a harbinger of what to expect.

With the Jewish vote, critical to victory in Florida, up for grabs, the Palestinians will have few friends in either party. And if they seek a nation-state by going to the U.N. General Assembly, can anyone blame them?

The black vote went 95 to 4 for Obama in 2008. McCain’s share was the same as former Klansman David Duke got running for governor of Louisiana in 1991. Today, however, black disillusionment with Obama is broad and deep. Unemployment in that community is nearly 17-percent. The head of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II of Missouri, said that if Bill Clinton were president, he and his colleagues would be marching on the White House.

What kind of “targeted messages” can Operation Vote make to fire up the African-American base against the GOP? Look for the race card to be played early and often. Already actor Morgan Freeman has slandered the Tea Party Republicans as representing a “dark underside of America” that is “going to do whatever (they) can to get this black man outta there.”

“It is a racist thing,” said Freeman.

Would this be the same Tea Party that helped elect two black Republicans to Congress from the Deep South in 2010?

At a Black Caucus event, Rep. Andre Carson of Indiana said that the Tea Party Republicans would “love to see you and me ... hanging on a tree.”

California Rep. Maxine Waters said the Tea Party “can go straight to hell.”

If, 13 months from Election Day, the debate has deteriorated to this level of invective, 2012 should be quite a year.

What happened to the Obama who gave that moving address in Tucson on civility in politics after “Gabby” Giffords was shot? Seven years ago, in his keynote cited above, Obama denounced “the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes.” Does not that sound like the evolving Obama campaign, as described in The Washington Post?

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

LETTERS Eliminate Rural ‘Free’ Delviery & Postal Service will be solvent To the editor, What am I missing? Don’t you still compute profit by subtracting overhead from revenue? When the expenses exceed the revenue, don’t you find ways to cut expenses?

The Post Office seems to think that the only way to cut overhead is to cut back on deliveries. Well, I have a revelation for them.

Rural Free Delivery (RFD) service started in New Hampshire in October 1898, only two years after Grover Cleveland approved the service nationwide. Back then it was thought to be necessary, so that the small farmers who lived out in the rural areas could get mail service without having to take the time to come into town. This was a great idea and a great service to the rural communities but it has outlived it’s time.

Back then it was rare when someone from the farm could get into town as it often required hitching up ol’ Bessie to the wagon to make the day long trip to town and back. Today it is rare that a farmer or rural resident is without a vehicle, car or pick-up truck. Most of them are completely able to pop into town when ever they want to and most do almost daily to pick up some groceries or “hit” Wal-Mart. There is no reason why they couldn’t go to the post office, also. Further, I know many

people who live within walking distance to the Post Office yet still opt for RFD service. Those who trudge to the Post Office have to pay $50 or more per year for the post office box, yet those with RFD service need only purchase a box and install it at the roadside to receive free delivery for life.

Now think about this: the Post Office has to pay someone to deliver the mail to the RFD boxes so why shouldn’t there be a charge for this service? It can still be a free service to those with disabilities that keep them from coming to town. But think of the millions of RFD boxes across the USA that have to be serviced. These people paying the same as a person who lives in town will still get the mail as they always have. But now they would be contributing to the cost of mail service. The upside of this is; 1. The Post Office will become solvent; 2. No one will need to be laid off; 3. mail service on Saturday can continue; 4.

This may preclude the need for a postage stamp price increase.

Today more than 10-million families receive RFD service. If they paid the same as “townies” do for the small P.O. boxes, the Post Office would realize $500,000,000 of additional revenue.

Sounds like a win-win situation to me. What am I missing?

Why abandon such nice chickens? Ask people to take them in To the editor, Someone didn’t know what to do with a small flock of Polish (breed very feathery heads and very gentle birds) chickens, so put them in the woods in my part of Sanbornton. The logger who saw them where they huddled, in a small grassy plot, in the morning, noted they were still there when he was done in the evening.

This was last-week, Wednesday. He stopped at my house to check that I had all my chickens. I did. We put a cage in my car and drove into the woods to the chickens, staying right where their previous owners probably set them out. The logger sees coyotes up there all the time, so surmised this would be their fate. We put them into the cage with no fuss. These birds

Put them in with mine.

The logger said, “Now I can sleep tonight.”

They are doing fine and have laid some nice brown eggs (five hens, one rooster). The rooster has begun to crow. These may be six months old; the rooster is crowing but hasn’t yet grown his spurs. One hen is so sweet and lovely, all fine-feathery white, Seuss-like, and seems the most outgoing of them. My husband named her Deborah. In short, why abandon such nice birds without going the route of asking other people if they’d want them? The feed stores, too, have had “chicken swaps” usually on Saturday mornings, where unwanted animals and chickens can go, for new homes.

I’m a Tea Party member but I’m no racist and I’m not a hater To the editor, It isn’t often that I am roused from my slumber to write into The Daily Sun, but after reading a series letters from a Mr. Veverka of Tilton I have been so aroused. Mr. Veverka spends a lot of time calling people in the “Tea Party” names. Apparently if you don’t like President Obama you are a part of a “right wing” cabal bent on the destruction of not only the president but, illegal immigrants too. I think his exact quote was- “These people would let immigrant children die in the streets before they could get an education or medical care.” Ouch!

I would like to take a stand against Mr. Veverka by first telling him that, yes, I would consider myself a “TeaParty” member. I don’t have a membership card and don’t go to meetings though it appears that should I find one I’ll need to get a white sheet and a copy of the Turner Diaries. If I can’t find my sheets maybe they’ll let me have the ones the now deceased Senator Robert Bird (D-WV) used to wear.

No, I don’t think that President Obama was born in Kenya, nor do I think he has committed an act of treason. Even if he had committed treasonous acts this country wouldn’t do much about it — we don’t live in Colonial America anymore now do we? No. I do not think he is a Muslim. Also, I don’t hate immigrants. My grandfather and grandmother were immigrants who came to America to find a better life. They came here legally but they were Irish so . . . whatever. Maybe we should just open the borders completely. We can fit all 6+ billion souls in here can’t we?

More specifically I would like to address Mr. Veverka’s characterizations of “Tea-Party” (i.e. rightwingers) people as racists, etc. In my humble opinion he falls into the group of leftists who demonize entire groups of people by the actions of a very small number. This has happened before. American military personnel are “murderers” because a bomb kills innocents. They are “rapists” because a small, vile group or individual commits’ a barbaric act against an innocent. Those people do not represent the group and to impute the individual’s motives on to the group is a form of propaganda. I believe there is an active effort among left-leaning groups in America to demonize everything and anything that is, or can be connected to “The Tea Party”. Maybe Mr. Veverka doesn’t belong to any of these groups but he certainly seems to be a fellow traveler. A question for Mr. Veverka: Do you know exactly where all of those “Tea Party” photos on

the website you referred us too were taken? Do you know who those people are and what they believe? Do you know whether or not they are people who hate the “Tea Party” but showed up with some vile, racist sign in order to paint the whole crowed as racist?

Do you think people on the left are not capable of that? That last question was rhetorical so feel free to ignore it.

I already know the answer.

Let me re-state what I have written before. I don’t intend to speak for anyone but myself, so if Mr. Veverka wants to call me a “Tea Bagger” then so be it. I believe in “limited government”, not a government that tells me when I go to a restaurant I have to ask for French fries because the default portion includes apple slices because the company wants an ObamaCare waiver.

I want a limited government so that the one we have now doesn’t hand out ObamaCare waivers to friends. I am not anti-government. In fact I believe that government has a role in society and that role is clearly stated in the federal Constitution and the various states constitutions. I believe in a free market were individuals are free to conduct their business and government acts as a referee not as a player for either side.

People should be free to live their lives as they see fit without some federal government telling them what they can drive, how much and what they can eat, what light bulbs we can have in our home, how much water I can flush down my toilet at one time, whether or not I can build a factory in a state with union labor or non-union labor, whether I have to belong to a labor union or not, how many miles per gallon I can get in the car I drive, etc, etc.

Smaller more limited government should not mean that some man or woman who happens to get elected to office, calls themselves an “expert” and heads off to Washington can force me into buying some sort of light bulb. If that happens in N.H., Belknap County or Belmont I can try and change that because I can easily come face to face with my representative. When it happens in Washington they effectively tell me to pound sand.

I’m no racist and I’m no hater despite what broad brush Mr. Veverka tries to paint me with. I simply want a country where my kids can grow and prosper without increasing interference from politicians who could care less about them as individuals. We are individuals first and part of a group second. Oh , by the way, in regards to your last letter — its Fort Sumter NOT Fort Sumpter.

Eric Shirley Belmont

Our country needs leaders, not me, myself and I politicians To the editor, Well the people now will have a chance to get Obama out of our faces. We will have a new president in the coming election. I just hope and pray we get someone in who is going to care about the U.S.A. and the American people. We have had ENOUGH! We need leaders, not me, myself and I leaders. They want

us to tighten our belts — what about them? What is good for us also should be good for them.

The fall is beautiful this time of year in N.H. So we can thank the God for that. Take care of one another. The government won’t, that’s for sure.

LETTERS Issue I have with Gilford School Board not directly related to budget To the editor, In response to the Gilford Steamer’s editorial of September 22, in which the anonymous writer calls on David Harvath and myself (both Budget Committee members) to recuse ourselves “from any discussion of the school district’s budget”: Let me first say that I can only speak for myself but I suspect that Mr. Harvath would agree with me.

I reject the idea of recusing myself, from the school district’s budget because of the legal action against the school board. Having an opinion is not a conflict of interest; if it was, every member of the committee would have the recuse themselves. The issue with the school board is not directly related to the budget but rather about the school boards over willingness to thwart the will of the voters. I personally have neither anything to gain, or lose within the school district’s budget, or the legal action against the school board; therefor there is no conflict of interest.

What there are, however, are certain people and/or editorial boards whom have obviously taken sides in the conflict and seek to muddy the water by trying to discredit Dave and myself by insinuating that we cannot objectively examine the school district’s budget. Before being elected to the Budget Committee I pledged, in this very paper, that I will not vote in favor of any spending until I was sat-

isfied that the benefit to the residents outweighs the cost to the taxpayers. I stand by that and will use the same standard while evaluating this year’s school district budget.

I am glad that Mr. Corry and The Steamer have raised the issues of conflicts of interest and recusal. The most common conflict of interest is members voting on budgets when monies from that budget personally benefit their households. As far as I know there is no RSA that addresses this.

However, taxpayers expect Budget Committee members to have enough ethics to recuse themselves when there is a conflict.

I have a conflict of interest with the highways and streets portion of the budget. A business, I own, subcontracts for a contractor that does road work for the town. There is a real good chance that money from that section of the budget will end up in my personal household; therefor, I will set the example and recuse myself from voting on that section of the budget.

Likewise I publicly call on the several other Budget Committee members that have conflicts of their own to step up and recuse themselves. I have no means to make anyone do this, but I would like to trust that these fine folks have the ethical and moral values to do the right thing on their own.

Thank you Lakes Region Roatary for grant to SVdP Food Pantry To the editor, Special thanks to Travis Cole, president the Lakes Region Rotary Club.

It was my pleasure to have breakfast with the Rotarians and other Rotary Club grant recipients. It is because of the assistance from local clubs and associations that we are able to do the work we do. It is so important that the local community serve their friend and neighbors. This year we have already dispensed the equivalent of 8,000 weeks

of food Our goal is to provide a week of food once a month for area families in need. In addition we create a Holiday Basket for Thanksgiving.

Needless to say, the $750 Rotary grant will be put to good use. Thank you, and may God bless you as you have blessed us.

We’re with you through Good times and bad.

People born with DRD4-7R gene are more likely to become liberals To the editor, These guys crack me up! Steve Earle represents CENTRISTS at a forum!

Both Mr Danforth and him put forth that liberals are irrational, maybe mentally ill! Well as long as these guys want to ride the crazy train, I will ride with them for a few stops.

Begun in 1968, the Block Study, named after Jack Block, professor emeritus of psychology at UC Berkeley, it closely tracked 100 individuals for 30 years. The study was funded by the NIMH, resulting in over 100 research papers. One researcher noted “This study is unparalleled and provides a rich research and training resource for our students.” The study found, “whiny kids tended to grow up conservative, and turned into rigid young adults who hewed closely to traditional gender roles and were uncomfortable with ambiguity. The confident kids turned out liberal and were still hanging loose, turning into bright, non-conforming adults with wide interests. .... Insecure kids look for the reassurance provided by tradition and authority, and find it in conservative politics.”

Then there is the DRD4-7R gene that

is connected with being open to new experiences and ideas, taking dares, etc. People with this variation of the D4 gene are likely to become liberals in a good environment. The researchers “suspected that DRD4-7R-equipped novelty-seekers would listen more closely to the views of friends and would also acquire a wider circle of friends, exposing these embryonic Keith Olbermanns and Jon Stewarts to yet more points of view, attitudes and lifestyles.

This exposure would further tease out their inner liberal.”

And IQs? A CNN Health article stated, “Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the London School of Economics and Political Science found that people who identified as liberal, atheist and monogamous had higher IQs than conservatives in a 6-11 point range. George Washington University leadership professor James Bailey noted, “The adoption of some evolutionarily novel ideas makes some sense in terms of moving the species forward”.

I’ll be getting off at this stop.

The city says they have no justification for tearing the structure down? That’s stupid. What about someone’s life? Are they going to wait till that building deteriorates to the point where it falls on people? Then they’ll have a lawsuit.

This city is so slow about getting anything done. I would just tear the building down ,then rent the space out for Bike Week vendors. There ya go, there’s your reimbursement for the demolition costs.

Steve Carrier promoted to chief of Gilford Fire; under budget pressure, department will cut staff

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — At its meeting last week, the Board of Fire Engineers announced current Deputy Chief Steve Carrier will become fire chief as of Oct. 2.

Carrier began his New Hampshire firefighting career in Gilford and returned to the department in 2010 after serving in Laconia and as the TiltonNorthfield fire chief for seven years. He replaces outgoing Fire Chief John Beland.

While Carrier’s promotion was expected, the fire engineers also chose to eliminate the 32-hour a week fire inspector’s position and to eliminate the full-time executive secretary position, opting instead for a 32-hour a week secretary/receptionist position with no benefits.

The department has chosen to maintain the position of deputy chief, who along with the chief will be responsible for operations, administration, training and inspections.

Carrier estimates the personnel reductions will save about $43,000 or about 2.8-percent from the salary and benefits line in 2012.

“The selectmen are between a rock and a hard place,” said Fire Engineer Phil Brouillard who noted

that every department has had to take some kind of budget reduction for 2012 and the fire department is no exception.

“We have to make the choices that don’t effect the quality of our work or the safety of our residents,” he continued.

Brouillard said the decision to keep the position of deputy chief will allow the department to continue with the high-quality training level currently afforded to Gilford’s call firefighters.

“We train them hard, often and well,” said Brouillard who said the department’s effectiveness is largely dependent on the core of an “active and welltrained call company.”

He said the call company saves the taxpayers money by not having to depend solely on professional full-time staff.

Carrier said the decisions to re-adjust the administration of the department was because “we certainly didn’t want to loose any line people. We’d rather make the cuts in management.”

Carrier said the shifts in administration will begin in January and both the position of deputy chief and secretary-receptionist will be advertised.

GILFORD — Selectmen are expected to make an announcement on Wednesday regarding the hiring of a new chief of police.

Town Administrator Scott Dunn said on Monday that an announcement will be made during the selectmen’s regular meeting, which begins at 7 p.m.

He confirmed an earlier report that an offer for the position had been extended to a current member of the department, whom he would not name.

Kevin Keenan is the department’s deputy chief.

He was observed meet privately with the Selectboard in a non-public session last week.

Police Chief John Markland submitted a letter of resignation on September 9.

His resignation will be effective September 30, after which he will work as a parts driver for a Laconia auto parts store. cord in 1989 and that his murder is still unsolved.

Another woman described the ordeal of having two of her brothers murdered in Manchester in the 1980s and a Northfield woman told of the sense of loss that her whole family experienced when 19-year-old Patrick Michael died after being hit in the head with a baseball bat in a Canterbury sand pit in June of 1997.

Doucette said that after her daughter’s murder, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office put her in touch with a group in Concord which brought together family members whose children had been murdered and that the group meetings helped her to deal with her grief, see next page

GUNS from page one Tuttle is charged with one count of manufacturing a controlled drug and three counts of being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon. Police found two marijuana plants — each about 4-feet tall — a sawed-off shotgun and two large knives in his possession.

He is being held in Belknap County Jail on a probation violation and also on $20,000 personal recognizance bail.

He is free on $5,000 in cash. personal recognizance bail.

All three men are scheduled to appear in N.H. 4th Durette was charged with possession of controlled/ Circuit Court Laconia Division, on Nov. 3. narcotic drugs with intent to distribute. Police seized UNH from page 3 drinks,” the company said. “We are working with the University of New Hampshire to find a resolution.”

In a survey of New Hampshire college students conducted last spring, 20 percent of the UNH participants reported that they had mixed alcohol and energy drinks during the last 30 days.

“They are popular, very popular,” said sophomore Tim Quinney, 19, who said he very rarely consumes energy drinks because he doesn’t care for the flavor.

He said students who do enjoy the drinks will be slightly inconvenienced by having to go off campus, but said overall, the decision won’t have much impact.

“Though I understand the concept behind it, we’re adults,” he said. “I would think we’d be capable of making decisions in our own best interest.”

Senior Rob Johnson said he occasionally gets a Red Bull from the school library when he needs an from preceding page “After I had my terible loss, I found out that talking about what had happened to my daughter with other people who had the same experience helped me heal. Talking and letting your feelings out is very important to healing. But I don’t know how I would feel or how I could cope with it if the murder wasn’t solved,’’ she said.

Last year Doucette and her granddaughter, Jillian, formed the Greater Lakes Region Chapter of the Parents of Murdered Children, a group whose goal is to provide ongoing emotional support for the parents and other survivors of homicide victims and to connect them with others in the same situation.

She said that the chapter, which meets on the last Tuesday of the month at the Laconia Police Station, has hosted speakers like Will Delker, who heads the

extra boost while studying, and he said many students do mix the drinks with alcohol. One bar near campus recently ran a $1 Red Bull and vodka promotion and ran out of Red Bull by 10 p.m., he said.

Johnson said the decision doesn’t make sense from a health standpoint — Why scapegoat one type of food or drink? — and he said the safety concerns were baffling.

“Most students go to parties off-campus, and stopping by a convenience store to buy an energy drink, often at a lower cost, is no problem to them. The only thing that I see this new ban doing is increasing sales of energy drinks at convenience stores in Durham,” he said.

The drinks are now sold on campus in single-serving cans and multipacks. According to the university, 60,000 energy drinks were sold last year, or one half of one percent of retail sales.

N.H. Attorney General’s Cold Case Unit, as well as victims’ advocates.

Earlier this year the chapter convinced the City of Laconia to allow it to establish a memorial garden at Stewart Park as a way of remembering the victims of violence and Monday’s ceremony marked the unveiling of the garden spot, the only one of its kind in New Hampshire.

“I’m so pleased that all of it came together so beautifully today. I can’t say enough good about all the people who helped out, like Ginger Kay Wells of Garden Artisans who designed the garden, and Ray Carbone, who volunteered to lead the ceremony.

MEREDITH — Former Fire Chief Chuck Palm, who lost his battle with cancer at the age of 67 in May, was honored at a ceremony Saturday at which the town’s first fire truck, a 1929 Ford Model AA, was dedicated in his name.

“We feel that his accomplishments merit a special place in our community’s history,’’ said Deputy Chief Andre Kloetz, who pointed out that in addition to his other accomplishments, Palm had played a key role in bringing the fire truck back to its home community after Jim Wallace had found out that it was still in good shape and was owned by a fire truck collector in Connecticut.

“I know he personally contributed a lot toward the restoration,” said Kloetz, who presided at the ceremony at which a plaque affixed to the truck was unveiled as family members, friends and firefighters watched.

Palm, who moved to Meredith from Stratum in 1994, was the town’s fire chief for 10 years, served the town for six months as interim town administrator and served as selectman for three years.

Kloetz said that Palm had touched the lives of many people and had helped modernize the department and update its policies during his tenure, leading the effort to enlarge the fire department building and bring in new equipment, like the aerial tower apparatus, the town’s first, which served as a backdrop to the ceremony.

“After he took over being an officer meant being the most qualified, not the most popular,” said Kloetz, who said that Palm was very active as a member for the Wamesit Engine Company, the fire department’s fraternal order.

He said that the town was fortunate in having both its original piece of equipment, a Hunneman Hand Tub fire pump, acquired second hand from Lowell, Mass., in 1859, and its first motorized fire truck, When it arrived in Meredith, the hand tub had already been in service in Lowell for 10 years and had the name Wamesit painted on its sides, which was the original Indian name for the Lowell area.

The Meredith Fire Department’s web site history section says that the town’s first motorized truck was a custom built 1929 Ford Model A with a long see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, September 27, 2011— Page 11

SALOON from page one If hazardous materials were found, the city would have to contract for their removal before engaging a demolition contractor to raze the building. Finally, the city would have to secure a lien on the property to recover its costs.

“It would take months anyway,” Myers said, adding it could take longer to execute a lien. “There would be no immediate repayment.

Instead of counting only the cost of demolition, Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) suggested approaching the problem from the perspective of the costs of foregoing development opportunities and property taxes by not taking the initiative.

Noting that business owners at The Weirs are growing impatient that the gutted building still conspicuously stands at the foot of Lakeside Avenue, Mayor Mike Seymour shared Lipman’s sense of urgency, remarking “we’ll have a different situation come spring time.”

Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) said that the overriding issue is whether or not the building is a total loss. Without a court order authorizing a thorough inspection and assessment of the building, the question cannot be resolved. If Baldi were willing to cooperate, he said, the problem could be readily addressed, but as long as she declined, there was no alternative to protracted litigation.

Myers said that the next superior court hearing on Bradi’s appeal of the order to raze is scheduled for October 5. “I’m not expecting any wonderful news,” he said, assuring the councilors he would report at CONGRESS from page 2 included in the measure — and to crack the gridlock it had caused.

The Democratic-controlled Senate approved the measure on a bipartisan vote of 79-12, sending it to the Republican-controlled House for a final sign-off.

There was no immediate comment from House GOP leaders, although their approval for the measure seemed a mere formality after the party’s Senate leader agreed to it. .”This compromise should satisfy Republicans... and it should satisfy Democrats,” said Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, who added that Budget Director Jacob Lew had informed him that FEMA did not need any additional funding to meet its needs for the final few days of the budget year.

“It’s a win for everyone,” declared Reid, who had spent much of the past few weeks accusing Republicans of choosing to heed the wishes of tea party adherents rather than the needs of their own constituents battered by acts of nature.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said it was a “reasonable way to keep the government operational.”

But he got in a final jab at Democrats, noting that the disaster funds sought by the Obama administration and its allies in Congress were now known to be unneeded.

“In my view, this entire fire drill was completely unnecessary,” he said.

But not even the dispute-resolving agreement prevented Democrats from proceeding to a politically charged vote earlier in the evening that was designed to force Republicans to decide whether immediate aid to disaster victims or deficit concerns held a higher priority. from preceding page wheelbase. It carried hoses, ladders, and portable pumps but did not have a built in pump.

“This truck was underwritten by 30 merchants and therefore did not require approval of the voters at Town Meeting. Being privately financed there were certain restrictions on its use however. It was not supposed to be used outside the fire district.

Once in awhile it was sneaked over the district line, depending on who was related to the owner of the building on fire. The very first fire it was used for was at Neal Farm which was located part way down the back side of Ladd Hill. This area is now the Burlwood Antique Shop. The last official fire it attended was at the Loch Haven Restaurant which happened to be at the same location as its very first one. It served faithfully and well during the nearly

their next meeting on October 11.

Seymour said that the city should move forward as quickly as possible, “recognizing we’re at the mercy of the legal system.”

NOTES: Following a public forum on “Pay-AsYou-Throw” nearly two weeks ago, Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) stressed “This is not an issue we can let go” and suggested convening a committee or task force to address the cost of solid waste disposal.

When Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) suggested setting a timeline to address the issue by this time next year when the Concord Regional Solid Waste/ Resource Recovery Cooperative expects to begin operating a single-stream recycling facility, Lipman replied “I see it as more urgent than that.” He said that only the solid waste budget presented an opportunity to achieve significant cost savings when the city could find itself faced with cutting essential services to balance its budget. City Manager Scott Myers offered to pursue the issue and include a proposal for reducing expenditures in his budget presentation to the council in March or April. . . . . . Myers told the

Beckett bombs in Baltimore; Red Sox now even with Rays in wild care race BALTIMORE (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have finally fallen all the way back to pack, and now they’ve got only two games left to make it right.

The Red Sox found another way to lose, this time on a broken-bat single and an inside-the-park homer, and their 6-3 defeat against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night dropped them into a tie in the AL wild-card race.

Boston’s 17th loss in 22 games enabled Tampa Bay to pull even in the duel for the league’s final playoff spot.

The Rays, who beat the New York Yankees 5-2, trailed by nine games after play on Sept. 3.

The Red Sox had either stood atop the AL East or led the wild-card race every day since before play on May 24.

In spite of the epic collapse, Boston can squeeze into the playoffs by winning its last two games. Then, at worst, the Red Sox will face the Rays in a one-game playoff.

“We win every game, we’re in the playoffs,” right fielder Adrian Gonzalez said. “It’s definitely in our hands.”

Problem is, the Red Sox haven’t won two in a row since August.

“We’ve backed ourselves about as far as we can go,” manager Terry

Francona said.

With the score 2-all in the sixth inning, Boston starter Josh Beckett (13-7) allowed four runs in an uprising that began with Vladimir Guerrero becoming the career hits leader among Dominican-born players.

Guerrero broke a tie with Julio Franco by bouncing a single up the middle, his 2,587th career hit. The 36-year-old Guerrero then stole second base, and after a two-out walk to Mark Reynolds, Chris Davis broke his bat hitting a soft liner to right that brought home the go-ahead run.

“I didn’t make pitches when I needed to,” Beckett said. “I tried to bounce a changeup to Davis there and I leave it up and he serves it to right field.”

Robert Andino followed with a deep fly to center that Jacoby Ellsbury had in his glove before crashing into the wall. Andino sprinted around the bases and made it home as the relay throw bounced past catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

Boston loaded the bases with one out in the eighth, but Pedro Strop struck out Saltalamacchia and retired Marco Scutaro on a grounder.

Although Dustin Pedroia hit an

RBI single in the ninth, the Red Sox stranded two runners and fell to 6-19 in September, the second-worst record in the majors behind the Minnesota Twins. It’s also Boston’s second worst September, behind a 4-18 mark in 1926, according to STATS LLC. Jed Lowrie homered for the Red Sox, whose September swoon includes four losses in five games against Baltimore.

Beckett allowed six runs and seven hits in six innings. The right-hander won four straight decisions before losing to the Orioles twice in six days.

“We’ve got to win games, and we’re not going to do it when your starting pitcher gives up six runs,” Beckett said.

Troy Patton (2-1) retired all five batters he faced after entering for starter Tommy Hunter, who gave up one earned run in five innings.

“It’s a relentless lineup, and that’s why I’m so proud of our pitchers,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.

“Tommy gave us what he had today.

He was barking pretty good there

the last inning or so with the groin (injury).”

Boston placed runners on second and third with two outs in the first before Hunter issued an intentional walk to Gonzalez and retired Lowrie on a fly ball. The Red Sox bounced back with an unearned run in the second on a two-out throwing error by rookie left fielder Matt Angle.

Matt Wieters tied it in the bottom half with an opposite-field drive into the left-field seats. Wieters has 21 homers this year after totaling 20 in his first two big league seasons.

Lowrie led off the fourth with his sixth home run, the third against Baltimore. Boston then got runners on the corners with two outs before Nick Markakis made a sliding catch of Carl Crawford’s sinking liner to right.

The Orioles drew even at 2 in the fifth on an RBI single by Davis. But with the bases loaded and one out, Beckett retired J.J. Hardy on a popup and struck out Markakis.

FUR from page 2 ation Front and the Animal Liberation Front have been blamed for a string of 17 arsons across the West dating back more than a decade, including at ski resorts in Colorado and university laboratories in Washington state.

Fourteen people have been convicted of crimes related to those fires. Such groups have been classified as domestic terror threats by the FBI. A Utah animal rights activist in July pleaded guilty to two federal charges stemming from a pair of 2010 arson fires in the Salt Lake City area, one at the Tandy Leather Factory and another at a restaurant that served a disputed goose liver dish.

Federal agents on Monday weren’t dismissing the activist group’s claims of responsibility, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spokeswoman Donna Sellers said.

Evidence has been collected from the blaze to be analyzed at one of the agency’s laboratories, she said.

“ATF does take the communique seriously,” she said. “The claim of responsibility by Animal Liberationists is a lead in this investigation.”

The FBI also said it’s helping track down leads.

“We are assisting the ATF to see if there’s a connection to domestic terrorism,” said Deborah Bertram, an FBI spokeswoman in Salt Lake City.

Vlasak, whose office helps to publicize the illegal activities of activists, said he had no direct knowledge that the activists actually set the Idaho fire. But he said similar statements in past attacks on fur farms or businesses have had merit. He declined to say exactly how he received Monday’s message.

“Somebody with a shop full of fireworks and fur at the same time is just kind of asking for it,” Vlasak told the AP on Monday, adding that while he supports such actions, “there’s a firewall between those who are actually willing to break the law to help animals, and those of us who are just serving as a press office.”

The fire was contained quickly and without significant damage to fireworks or fur articles. Investigators believe the fire was “suspicious and incendiary,” Caldwell fire marshal Andrew Cater said.

STOCKS from page 2 cent, to 1,162.95. The Nasdaq composite rose 33.46, or 1.4 percent, to 2,516.69.

About three stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. All 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 rose.

Financial stocks had the biggest gains in the S&P 500, rising 4.4 percent. Banks have the most to lose if Europe’s debt crisis gets worse, so investors picked up those stocks as hopes built that a resolution could be on the way. Huntington Bancshares Inc. rose 8.3 percent, SunTrust Banks Inc. rose 8 percent.

Berkshire Hathaway’s Class B shares rose 8.6 percent after the company announced a plan to repurchase stock for the first since Warren Buffett took control in 1965.

Investors have been on edge about Europe’s debt problems for months.

The Dow plunged 6.4 percent last week, its biggest drop since the week ended Oct. 10, 2008 at the height of the financial crisis.

The market’s volatility has made many investors nervous. Since the first week of August, the Dow has closed up or down more than 200 points a total of 16 times. There were only four swings of 200 points or more in the other seven months of 2011.

President Barack Obama said in a town hall meeting that Europe’s financial crisis “is scaring the world” and that the actions the region’s leaders have taken so far “haven’t been as quick as they need to be.”

Greece is at risk of defaulting on its debt next month if it does not receive the next installment of a bailout package. If that happens, banks that hold Greek bonds would lose money. Analysts also worry that the economies in Europe and the U.S. could slip into another recession.

News that sales of new homes in the U.S. fell to a six-month low briefly sent indexes lower in morning trading, but by midday Eastern the Dow and S&P were higher.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, September 27, 2011— Page 13

BELMONT from page one department would call for vehicles to be replaced at a rate of two every year. However, due to deferred replacements in years past, Baiocchetti told selectmen he was “in a bit of a quandary – we have four cars we want to get rid of.”

A three-year lease program would cost just shy of $50,000 per year for four vehicles. Alternatively, Baiocchetti said he wouldn’t object to the town sticking with the prior program and budgeting $70,000 for the purchase of two cruisers, which would likely be Ford Interceptors, which come equipped with all-wheel drive, a V-6 engine and could accept all the special equipment already in use in the town’s Crown Victorias, a model that Ford is no longer going to manufacture.

Noting that that the lease program would be easier in the short term, harder in the medium term and “a wash” in the long term, Selectman Ron Cormier asked Baiocchetti to draw up a detailed analysis of how leasing the cruisers would work over a six-year period.

Selectmen chose to table the request for cruisers and turned their attention to a request to add two part-time patrol officers at the total cost of about $70,000.

Baiocchetti said the increased demand for police services, such as a string of burglaries earlier this year, has detracted from his officers’ abilities to perform foot patrols and other “proactive” duties.

“Calls for service is not only high, the work that we’re doing is more time intensive,” he said.

Although Selectman David Morse said he liked how “cost effective” the use of parttime labor is, he agreed with his two colleagues in reducing the request to $48,500, enough to cover one additional part-time officer.

Following the tone they set with the police budget, selectmen found a couple places to trim the Fire Depart-

ment’s budget request, starting with the “call” firefighter salary line. “I think you can cut this a little bit,” said Selectman Chair Jon Pike. The other two selectmen agreed, reducing that line from the $75,ooo requested to $65,000.

Fire Chief David Parenti’s concern grew when the board began discussing his overtime budget, for which he requested $100,000. The “overtime” line includes holiday over-time, station coverage and other payroll expenses that previously were broken into several distinct categories.

“I’m just not comfortable going to the Budget Committee with $100,000 in overtime. They’re going to wig out, I can just see it,” said Cormier. The other two selectmen joined him in reducing that line by 10-percent.

The board was less than unanimous with the request for a part-time position to help with inspec-

tions, a duty currently shared by Parenti and one of his lieutenants. Cormier supported the expenditure, observing that Parenti is the third chief to request such a position.

The other selectmen, though they didn’t deny the need for a part-time inspector, voted against the $26,000 such an addition would cost. Morse said he hoped the position would be reinserted later in the process.

“The exercise of sending something to the Budget Committee just for them to take it out – I’d rather see them vote something in,” he said. “I’d like to see the part-time inspector put in by the Budget Committee instead of taken out.”

After meeting with the selectmen, the proposed police budget was increased by $41,500, when compared to the 2011 budget. The fire budget had grown by about $34,000.

AG’s presence scuttles scuttles JUA settlement agreement

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD —A settlement of the long-running dispute over the $110-million surplus of the New Hampshire Medical Malpractice Joint Underwriting Association (JUA) was scuttled when the policyholders, whose claim to the funds was upheld by the courts, challenged the attorney general’s role in the ongoing legal proceedings.

The dispute began in 2009 when, on the recommendation of Governor John Lynch and advice of the attorney general, the Legislature included the $110-million of the surplus in the 2010-2011 state budget. Policyholders, led by LRGHealthcare of Laconia, successfully challenged the state’s claim in the New Hampshire Supreme Court. The Lynch administration balked at the court’s decision, prompting the Legislature to enact legislation (Senate Bill 170) requiring the funds be distributed among the policyholders.

The directors of the JUA abandoned the settlement negotiated with the policyholders when policyholders questioned the authority of the attorney general to defend them against a claim of breach of fiduciary duty brought by the policyholders as well as potential liabilities for federal taxes.

In place of the settlement, the policyholders have asked the court simply to implement SB-170 and distribute the funds, save for $25-million reserved against potential federal tax liabilities. A hearing is scheduled in Merrimack County Superior Court on October 24.

Although not required, the comprehensive settlement was designed not only to distribute the surplus funds but also resolve all outstanding issues, including the policyholders’ claims against the directors of the JUA. Attorney General Michael Delaney appointed legal counsel for the JUA and its directors, citing the statute (RSA 99-D) authorizing the state to indemnify “state officers, trustees, officials and employees.”

Earlier this month, when the settlement was presented to Judge Richard McNamara of Merrimack County Superior Court for his approval, Delaney intervened, insisting that the settlement required his approval and, since it exceeds one-quarter of one-percent all unrestricted general fund revenues, the approval of the Legislature as well.

Representing the policyholders, NixonPeabody, LLP countered that Delaney’s position rests on the assumption that the JUA is a “state entity,” its directors “state officials” and its surplus state funds, all of which flies in the face of orders of both the Belknap County Superior Court and the New Hampshire Supreme Court as well as the regulations of the JUA and an act of the Legislature.

They told the court that Delaney’s notion that the JUA is a state agency was rejected by Judge Kath-

leen McGuire of Belknap County Superior Court.

Her order also disqualified the attorney general from representing the JUA since its interests were at odd with those of the state and for an attorney to represent both was a conflict of interest under the Rules of Professional Conduct. Likewise, McGuire, held that the directors are not state officials and “are entitled to indemnification by the association, and not by the state.” Finally, she denied the state’s claim to the JUA’s surplus, which she held belonged to the policyholders. order was never appealed and remains the law on this issue.

The policyholders urged McNamara to reject Delaney’s effort to “thwart a freely negotiated resolution between the litigants,” which “continues an unfortunate pattern of willful disregard of previous rulings by this court.”

However, before McNamara ruled attorney Dan Mullen, appointed to represent the board of the JUA, informed the court that the directors, in light of concerns about the authority of the Attorney General to represent them, chose to withdraw from the settlement.

In particular, the directors expressed concern for the potential federal tax liability. Since 1986, the JUA has operated exempt from federal and state taxes on the presumption that it was a state agency. Ever since the courts ruled to the contrary liability for back taxes has bedeviled efforts to resolve the issue. SB-170 not only set aside funds against a potential tax liability but also required the insurance commissioner and a JUA representative to negotiate an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service. A meeting with the IRS is scheduled for October 6.

Mullen told the court that any funds distributed to policyholders can be recouped to defray a federal tax liability of more than $25-million, if the liability tops $110-million the funds must be recovered from current and future policyholders. The directors, he continued, fear that if the state, in the person of the attorney general, cannot indemnify the board, any liability in excess of $25-million “may affect the solvency and viability of the JUA itself.

Speaking for the policyholders, attorney Scott O’Connell said that the comprehensive settlement was intended to resolve all outstanding issues, including the policyholders’ claims against the directors, which would have been dropped. “If they want us to go on suing them, that’s okay,” he said. In place of the settlement, he said that the policyholders have asked to court to proceed as prescribed by SB-170 and distribute $85-million to past and present policyholders pending the resolution of the federal tax issue.

According to its agreement with the policyholders, NixonPeabody stands to collect fees and expenses equal to 25-percent of all funds recovered by policyholders, which amounts to between $21.25-million and $27.5-million.

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis ably has to do with a friend’s choice of companionship, but it will affect how your day unfolds, too. Your friend’s choice could land you in a mighty strange situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

New directions are not always good directions. You are not a blind follower.

You might even be called a skeptic.

You won’t be sorry if you scrutinize the instructions you are given and consider the source, as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There’s thunder and lightning outside your window -- at least figuratively.

Dark clouds roll into your personal life, just to test the integrity of a relationship and help you figure out what to do next.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You always take the time to be with those you care about when you know they are in need. It’s even more special when you give your attention to loved ones knowing they don’t need a thing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Blame is not useful, even if you are the one blaming yourself. Assigning blame takes focus away from doing what it takes to fix a situation. Always be moving forward.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 27).

Your approach to work raises it to an artistic level. Your meticulous attention to detail will get you promoted and awarded. Creative and romantic risks pay off in November. January will bring a brilliant resolution to an ongoing problem. You’ll get loved ones and colleagues enrolled in your plan. Finances perk up in April. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 4, 8 and 17.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re not going to have much fun until your major responsibilities are covered.

That’s normally easy for you to do, but today you’ll need a little help from your friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your path will veer to the left and the right and then do a loop-the-loop. Who is to say the distractions and diversions aren’t really the main road? Maybe they should be!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know what is good for your loved ones, but sometimes they just have to figure things out for themselves. You’ll exert your influence with the perfect balance of respect and power.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Certain people bring out the worst in you. You know who they are. Somehow you talk too much around them and say things you weren’t expecting to say. Chalk it up to bad chemistry, and move on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll enjoy an encounter with someone who has limited time available in his or her schedule. You’ll make the most of whatever time you have with this person. A little attention goes a long way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s a storm moving in on your love life. It’s nothing major, and it will quickly pass.

So don’t get too worked up. This is just the kind of change and excitement that adds excitement to relationships.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The line between private information and public information may be blurred. It’s not because you don’t know the difference; it’s because the rules about what’s “appropriate” are constantly changing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The theme is: an unlikely pairing. This prob-

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Sept. 27, the 270th day of 2011. There are 95 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: Sept. 27, 1941 was “Liberty Fleet Day” as the United States launched 14 rapidly built military cargo vessels, including the first Liberty ship, the SS Patrick Henry, which was personally launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Baltimore.

On this date: In 1540, Pope Paul III issued a papal bull establishing the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, as a religious order.

In 1779, John Adams was named by Congress to negotiate the Revolutionary War’s peace terms with Britain.

In 1854, the first great disaster involving an Atlantic Ocean passenger vessel occurred when the steamship SS Arctic sank off Newfoundland; of the more than 400 people on board, only 86 survived.

In 1939, Warsaw, Poland, surrendered after weeks of resistance to invading forces from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II. In 1942, Glenn Miller and his Orchestra performed together for the last time, at the Central Theater in Passaic, N.J., prior to Miller’s entry into the Army.

In 1961, the animated TV series “Top Cat,” about a gang of mischievous Broadway alley cats, premiered on ABC. In 1964, the government publicly released the report of the Warren Commission, which found that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in assassinating President John F. Kennedy.

In 1994, more than 350 Republican congressional candidates gathered on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to sign the “Contract with America,” a 10-point platform they pledged to enact if voters sent a GOP majority to the House.

One year ago: Southwest Airlines announced the $1.4 billion purchase of AirTran. Temperatures reached 113 degrees in downtown Los Angeles, the highest in records kept since 1877.

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Jayne Meadows is 91. Actress Kathleen Nolan is 78. Actor Wilford Brimley is 77. Actor Claude Jarman Jr. is 77. Author Barbara Howar is 77. World Golf Hall of Famer Kathy Whitworth is 72. Singer-musician Randy Bachman is 68. Rock singer Meat Loaf is 64.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, September 27, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’m a 16-year-old boy with two problems. My biological parents divorced when I was 2, and my mother remarried when I was 12. I live with my mother and stepfather and see my dad on the weekends.

The first problem is, since Mom married my stepfather, she seems unattached to me and more attached to him. She blames me for most things and nearly always takes my stepdad’s side when we have a disagreement.

For example, on one of my report cards, I had two 97s and two 94s. Those are pretty solid grades, but Mom yelled at me for not doing better. She also gets mad when she thinks I’m giving her “attitude,” even when I’m not. I’ve tried calmly talking to her, thinking she would listen as she used to. And she does for a short while, but then goes back to her old ways.

My mom and stepfather both work full time, but when my stepdad comes home, he just lies around doing nothing.

When Mom asks him to help around the house, they usually get into a fight. He also blamed me for bringing a virus into his computer by looking at porn. Of course, Mom took his side on that one.

During the day, I do whatever housework seems necessary.

I wash dishes, vacuum, make coffee, whatever, without being asked. But I never get so much as a simple thank you at the end of the day.

The other problem is my bio dad. He’s been unemployed for a while and fell behind on child support, but I know he’s doing the best he can. I don’t like that my mother and stepfather complain about him in front of me. I love my dad. I also love my mother and stepfather, but I don’t know how to talk to them anymore because I know they will judge me. Do you have any advice? -- Losing My Family Dear Losing: Some of your issues are teen related and will

get better as you get older. However, your mother should not be denigrating your father in front of you, nor should you be stuck in the middle of the fights between any of your parents.

Your mother sounds as if she has her hands full, and it’s good that you contribute to the household without expecting much.

Continue to have calm talks with her, even if it only helps for a little while. Also, please speak to your school counselor. It can be beneficial to have a sympathetic ear on an ongoing basis.

Dear Annie: My friend “Bill” is terminally ill and has hospice care. I didn’t visit him because I assumed his time was reserved for his family. Too late, I realized I could have gone to see him after all. I went yesterday, and his daughter said she was sorry more people did not stop by.

Annie, Bill has many friends who thought as I did. What a mistake. What can I do in such a situation? -- Boston Dear Boston: Bill’s friends should make every effort to visit.

When one is unsure of protocol, a simple phone call can clarify matters. The hospice worker or a relative will let you know whether visitation is welcome or not. Right now, we hope you will phone as many of Bill’s friends as you can and let them know that a visit would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Annie: You’ve printed so many letters about relationships between parents and children after divorce.

I married a man with six children. We cannot afford to take the whole family out for every child’s birthday celebration.

Instead, I suggested Dad take the birthday child out, just the two of them, to hang out, go to a restaurant for dinner, see a movie, whatever.

My husband loves that I care about his kids, and the kids love that they get “Dad time.” Everybody wins. -- Wants Everyone Happy

James & Sandra open 5th Subway restaurant, this one at Belnap Mall

BELMONT — Subway restaurants has opened a brand new restaurant at the Belknap Mall, 96 Daniel Webster Highway. This opening brings the total number of restaurants in New Hampshire owned and operated by franchisee James Rood and his wife, Sandra Taylor of Gilmanton, to five. The couple also owns restaurants in Laconia, Franklin, Concord on Fisherville, and on Main Street in Concord.

“We have enjoyed serving and providing our customers with satisfying meals,” said Rood. “We are excited about our new store. With the artwork and leather lounge chairs, customers will find it warm and inviting. Tasty décor equals tasty sandwiches.”

The first Subway restaurant in the United States opened in 1965 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The company expanded internationally to Bahrain in 1984 and since then has grown exponentially.

To request more information about Subway, contact Diana Picavet of NL Partners at dpicavet@ nlpartners.com or 207.775.5251 ext. 19.
