Lutherans look to share church facilities with Episcopalians By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — This evening Reverend Robert Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire, will preside at a service for the deconsecration of St. James Episcopal Church in anticipation of the building becoming the permanent home to the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region, which is purchasing it. Pastor Tobias Nyatsambo said yesterday that the club will be represented at the service where its mission statement will be read. “St. James has always been about serving the community,” he said, noting that the church has hosted the longest standing pre-school program in the city and has long prepared a meal for the Salvation Army on the third Tuesday of each month. “The Boys and Girls Club will be doing what St. James has done,” he said. “For us it is exciting.” N y a t s a m b o explained that the parish hopes to enter an arrangement with the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church on Parade Road, by which the two would share worship and office spaces as well as see CHURCHes page 12

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — The state yesterday charged Shawn Carter, 31, with second-degree murder for allegedly causing the deaths of his mother and his older brother in their 20 Sunset Drive home this past May. Priscilla Carter, 59 and her son Timothy Carter, 39,

were found by Belmont Police “chopped” to death in the home the three shared by police on May 24 at 11 a.m. A press release issued jointly by Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Strelzin, State Police Colonel Robert Quinn and Belmont Police Chief Mark Lewandoski said the murders occurred on either May 23 or

May 24. Police had gone to the home for a well-being check after one of Priscilla Carter’s co-workers reported she hadn’t come to work that morning. For reasons unknown until late yesterday afternoon, a “be on the lookout” for (BOLO) alert had been issued for Shawn Carter and the red car

he was believed to have been driving on the day the bodies were discovered. The alert said he could possibly be armed. Carter was arrested by Tilton and N.H.
