Gilmanton dog gets through electric fence & bites woman

GILMANTON — One of two women walking along Halls Hill Road yesterday was bitten by a German Shepherd that was able to breach the electric fence surrounding the owner’s property.

Police Chief Joe Collins said one woman had a bite that broke the skin and a second woman said a dog grabbed the sweatshirt she had around her waist. The woman with the bite was taken to the hospital by the other woman.

Chicken initiative generating plenty of strong opinion

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Opinion was divided when the Zoning Task Force held its first public meeting yesterday to seek comment on a proposal to permit the keeping of a limited number of chickens in all parts of the city,

the issue at the top of its pecking order.

The current zoning ordinance restricts the keeping of livestock, including poultry, to three districts — the commercial resort and rural residential I and II — effectively barring chickens from the most densely

populated parts of the city.

The proposal before the committee closely mirrors the ordinance adopted by Concord in December, 2011, which will be reviewed in September. It would permit keeping not more than five hens — but no roosters, capons or guinea hens

— for the sole use of the household in all districts. The breeding of chickens and sale of eggs would be prohibited. Nor could chickens be slaughtered on the premisses. Chickens would be kept in coops placed in rear or side yards at least ten feet from see CHiCKENS page 15

Judge will allow jury to consider finding Zimmerman guilty of lesser charge SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — In an unmistakable setback for George Zimmerman, the jury at the neighborhood watch captain’s second-degree murder trial was given the option Thursday of convicting him on the lesser charge of manslaughter in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Judge Debra Nelson issued her ruling over the objections of Zimmerman’s lawyers shortly before a prosecutor delivered a closing argument in which he portrayed the defendant as an aspiring police officer who assumed Martin was up to no good and took the law into his own hands.

“A teenager is dead. He is dead through no fault of his own,” prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda told the jurors. “He is dead because a man made assumptions. ... Unfortunately because his assumptions

were wrong, Trayvon Benjamin Martin no longer walks this Earth.”

Because of the judge’s ruling, the six jurors will have three options when they start deliberations as early as Friday: guilty of second-degree murder, guilty of manslaughter and not guilty.

Zimmerman attorney Don West had argued an all-or-nothing strategy, saying the only charge that should be put before the jury is second-degree murder.

“The state has charged him with second-degree murder. They should be required to prove it,” West said. “If they had wanted to charge him with manslaughter ... they could do that.”

To win a second-degree murder conviction, prosecutors must prove Zimmerman showed ill will,

hatred or spite — a burden the defense has argued the state failed to meet. To get a manslaughter conviction, prosecutors must show only that Zimmerman killed without lawful justification.

Allowing the jurors to consider manslaughter could give those who aren’t convinced the shooting amounted to murder a way to hold Zimmerman responsible for the death of the unarmed teen, said David Hill, an Orlando defense attorney with no connection to the case.

“From the jury’s point of view, if they don’t like the second-degree murder — and I can see why they don’t like it — he doesn’t want to give them any options to convict on lesser charges,” Hill said of the defense attorney. see ZIMMERMAN page 16

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stunned and bleeding after a Boeing 777 crash-landed at the San Francisco airport, hundreds of passengers staggered across the debris-strewn tarmac, some trying to help the critically injured, others desperately calling 911 and begging for more ambulances as dire minutes ticked away.

“There’s not enough medics out here,” a caller told a dispatcher in a 911 call released by the California Highway Patrol. “There is a woman out here on the street, on the runway, who is pretty much burned very severely on the head and we don’t know what to do.”

Two people died and 180 of the 307 people were hurt Saturday when Asiana Airlines Flight 214, coming in too low and too slow, slammed into a seawall at the end of the runway. The impact ripped off the back of the plane, tossed out three flight attendants and their seats and scattered pieces of the jet across the runway as it spun and skidded to a stop.

The battered passengers, some with broken bones, were told over the jet’s public-address system to stay in their seats for another 90 seconds while the cockpit consulted with the control tower, a safety procedure to prevent people from evacuating into life-threatening fires or machinery. see PLANE page 12

and perhaps putting to rest some speculation that he wasn’t the notorious killer.

Albert DeSalvo’s remains will be dug up because DNA from the scene of Mary Sullivan’s rape and murder produced a “familial match” with him, Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley said Thursday.

Police secretly followed DeSalvo’s nephew to collect DNA from a discarded water bottle to help make the connection, officials said. Conley said the match excludes 99.9 percent of suspects, and he expects

10 homicides.

“Even among experts and law enforcement officials, there is disagreement to this day about whether they were in fact committed by the same person,” Conley said.

Sullivan, 19, had moved from her Cape Cod home to Boston just days before her death. She was found strangled in her Boston apartment in January 1964 and has long been considered the strangler’s last victim. see STRANGLER page 10

LAC-MEGANTIC, Quebec (AP) — The first victim of a runaway oil train’s explosive derailment in a Quebec town was identified Thursday, more than five days since the disaster, which left behind a scorched scene so dangerous that it slowed the search for 50 people presumed dead.

Quebec’s premier toured the traumatized town and sharply criticized the U.S. railway’s chief for not responding in person more quickly to Canada’s worst railway disaster in nearly 150 years.

Police said four more bodies had been found, bringing the total found to 24.

The first victim to be identified by the coroner’s

office was 93-year-old Eliane Parenteau, who lived in the disaster zone in downtown Lac-Megantic.

Those who knew her described her as being active for her age.

The devastated downtown remained dangerous for days after the crash as responders put out fires and struggled to keep the remaining oil tankers cool so they wouldn’t explode. The hazardous conditions delayed the search for the missing — and now for bodies.

Officials also have warned that identifications would be made more difficult by the incinerated scene.

Conditions had at least improved enough for see TRAIN page 7

Mean Team piles on jobless Americans “Come on, team, let’s get mean!”

This is not the chant of rabid football fans, egging on their favorite team to crush the opponents.

Rather, it’s the raucous war cry of far-out right-wing ideologues all across the country who’re pumping up Team GOP to pound the bejeezus out of America’s millions of unemployed workers. Far from a game, this is real, and it’s a moral abomination.

I’ve been unemployed before, and I can tell you it’s a misery — all the more so today, when there are far more people out of work than there are job openings. This leaves millions of our fellow Americans mired in the debilitating misery of longterm unemployment.

But that’s not miserable enough for a feral breed of Ayn Randian political zealots who are lobbying Republican governors, legislators and congress-critters to punish the jobless for ... well, for their joblessness. In this perverse universe, the conventional wisdom asserts that unemployment benefits and other poverty-prevention programs are sapping our nation’s vitality by allowing “moochers” to live the Life of Reilly and avoid work.

The GOP’s budget demigod in the U.S. House, Rep. Paul Ryan, expressed this dogma in a fanciful homily deriding America’s safety net as “a hammock that lulls ablebodied people to lives of dependency and complacency.” This from a guy whose family’s wealth was gained from government contacts and who has spent practically all of his adult life in the sweet-swaying hammock of congressional privilege, presently drawing $174,000 a year from Old Uncle Sugar.

As ridiculous and just plain mean as this attitude is, it plays well in the insanity that now defines “the debate” in Republican primary elections. So, state-after-state (as well as Congress) are succumbing to this pound-the-poor, right-wing screed by frenetically slashing unemployment benefits.

Behind this faux-philosophical push are the smiling barons of corporate America. Without jobless payments, you see, desperate millions will be forced to whatever lowwage, no-benefit, dead-end jobs the barons design.

What’s at work here is a profoundly awful ethical phenomenon that has seeped into the top strata of American society: Our nation’s corporate and political elites have developed an immunity to shame.

It has become morally acceptable in those lofty circles to enrich themselves while turning their backs on the rest of us. Even more damning, they feel free to slash America’s already tattered safety net, leaving more holes than net for the worka-

day majority of Americans who’ve been knocked down by an ongoing economic disaster created by these very elites.

For a look at how shameful these privileged powers have become, turn to North Carolina. Until recently, this Southern state maintained a fairly moderate government with a populist streak, taking pride in its educational system and other public efforts to maintain a middle class.

No more. A shame-resistant political leadership has recently taken hold, consisting of corporate-funded tea party extremists who loathe the very idea of a safety net.

The new bunch has been gutting everything from public schools to health care, and now they’ve turned on hard-hit citizens who’re out of work. In a state with the fifth-highest jobless rate in the country, and with no recovery in sight, the right-wing governor and legislature recently whacked weekly unemployment benefits by a third, leaving struggling North Carolinians with a meager $350 a week to try to make ends meet, while simultaneously eliminating millions of consumer dollars that those families would otherwise be putting into the state’s economy.

Then, just to give the jobless another kick, the petty politicians cut the number of weeks people can receive unemployment aid.

This official minginess automatically disqualified the state from getting $700 million a year for long-term jobless payments from the federal government. Yet Gov. Pat McCrory issued a cockamamie, Kafkaesque claim that the gut-job ensures that “our citizens’ unemployment safety net is secure,” while providing “an economic climate that allows job creators to start hiring again.”

Yeah, we’ll all hold our breath until those “job creators” get going.

Meanwhile, the GOP wrecking crew doled out a fat tax break for the corporate elites — for doing nothing.

Take from the poor, give to the rich: backward Robin Hood. If ignorance is bliss, McCrory must be ecstatic.

Meanwhile, his shameless immorality has unleashed a growing storm of weekly demonstrations known as “Moral Mondays.” For information about this remarkable citizens’ uprising, link to the North Carolina Justice Center: www. ncjustice.org.

The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)

LETTERS Has Planning Commission become unaccountable rogue agency?

To The Daily Sun, On Sunday, July 7, I sent an e-mail to Jerry Coogan, an employee of the Lakes Region Planning Commission. He’s the area contact person listed at the Granite State Future (GSF) website. The website says: “For additional information about our next regional plan, please contact Jerry Coogan at jcoogan@lakesrpc.org or (603) 279-8171.”

I prefer email because it’s so much easier to keep track of information and who says what.

In my e-mail request to Jerry, I asked about the times, locations, agenda, etc. for all upcoming GSF meetings because the calendar at their website was blank for the next six months.

I asked why the GSF meetings were not published in event calendars in all the local papers.

I asked why only five minutes of time is given for a public question period at the end of GSF meetings.

I asked how do citizens get answers to specific questions about GSF. Since they list an e-mail address at the GSF website, it seems that’s an acceptable method to perform communications.

On Monday July 8, I didn’t get a reply email.

All during the day on Tuesday July 9, I failed to receive a reply, so I called the above number around 4 p.m. The man who answered the phone said Mr. Coogan was busy and would call me back. It didn’t happen that day.

Today, July 10, I failed to get a call or email from Mr. Coogan. Around 4 p.m., I called the Lakes Region Planning Commission office and asked to speak with Mr. Coogan. Once again he was busy. The woman said he’d call me back.

At or about 4:10 p.m. July 10, he called back. I immediately asked him if he’d received my July 7 email. He said he did.

I asked why he hadn’t responded, as I’m a citizen who helps pay his salary.

Many might not realize that the Lakes Region Planning Commission is a taxpayer-funded entity subject to the same laws as any town, county or state office. In other words, we, the citizens, are their bosses.

Mr. Coogan said he’d be happy to answer my questions on the phone. I

declined that offer because it’s hard for me to write down everything he would say, and then I’d not have any proof of what he said.

Mr. Coogan was well aware of that because he asked me during the call if I was recording the call. I said no, because believe it or not, New Hampshire is one of the few states in the USA that’s a two-party recording state. That means both parties in a conversation must approve of the recording.

Mr. Coogan said I could come in for a face-to-face meeting, but I made it clear that meeting would be recorded.

He bristled at that and would not commit to doing it, even though the Belknap County Attorney said he has no choice.

The call ended abruptly with Mr. Coogan not telling me when or under what circumstances he’d answer my current questions and any future ones.

This type of attitude from public servants is unacceptable. Why is Mr. Coogan reluctant to offer written answers to questions? Why is Mr. Coogan reluctant to be taped when a citizen asks questions about a massive planning project? What is Mr. Coogan hiding?

Here’s the rub. The only thing I can prove in all of the above is the fact that I sent an e-mail to Mr. Coogan.

I’m very sure that in a few days he’ll rebut this letter of mine saying I’m not telling the truth.

Guess what? I can’t prove what I said because it’s illegal for me to record a simple phone call to a government office. Don’t you feel that’s not right?

The bottom line is the Lakes Region Planning Commission has possibly become a rogue agency that feels it doesn’t have to respond to questions.

It treats citizens with disdain. It’s possible they feel they’re above the law.

If you don’t believe what I’m saying, I invite you to go with me when I make a visit to their offices with my video camera rolling. That’s the advice I received from the Belknap County Attorney. It’s a very sad day that one has to do that to protect their rights.

Give me a call and we’ll go visit Mr. Coogan.

LETTERS

“Our 40th Year”

What I would argue is that racism & prejudice are alive & well in U.S. To The Daily Sun, Dear Mr. Russ Wiles: I wasn’t going to answer you latest letter to the editor: “You know Zimmerman but bet you’ve never heard of George Thomas”. Oh well, so much for entertaining that thought on my part. I will admit to you that I do not personally know either individual you refer to in your letter. But I will tell you this fact, I know that they were both involved in crimes whether they be the alleged perpetrator or victim.

I will tell you very sincerely that I and many millions of others in this country have been exposed to daily reports of gun violence through reporting from the media whether it be via TV, radio, in print or online. In point of fact we have been deluged with horrors each and every day concerning violence with guns and other weapons.

You are entitled to take the opportunity (as you do quite frequently) to express your comments about current events. You are entitled to your opinions. But sir, you are not entitled to assume what I do or do not know on any particular issue(s).

While I admire Yogi Berra and his unique speaking style and of course his stellar baseball career, I addressed almost all points in your letter concerning George Zimmerman from what I watched each day on TV and read in print from the day that the murder of Trayvon Martin occurred.

I do not write or offer any opinions with “left leaning” arguments or points of view. I have and will continue to look at both sides of every issue, been doing this since my teenage years, to a

fault. Because of my background dealing firsthand (I won’t bore you with the details) with local, state and federal officials, the court system (right on up to the Supreme Court) and Due Process Rights, let me assure you that before I write a letter to the editor my thoughts are pondered, researched and written in logical cohesive steps.

You query, ... “why would a Maryland teacher, use a “current affairs” lesson plan which compared the killing of Trayvon to the killing a 14 year old black boy, Emmitt Till”....? Why not let the students ask questions and use their critical thinking skills?

Other than parents of students, who better than a teacher who is qualified and responsible for the education our children... right?

The very young in this country are being exposed to violence real or perceived each and every day of their lives. It’s not a secret discussed in “back rooms”, it’s “in our face” 24/7...

365 days a year.

What I would argue is that racism and prejudice are alive and well in this country. Sad to say, the color of a person’s skin does matter... why? In this day and age for skin color to cloud our opinions be it positive or negative pollutes any logical decisions or outcomes in the legal arena and in our daily lives.

I don’t judge you by your admitted conservative views or values. I merely read what you write, then decide whether I will be able to agree or disagree with you.

If $42.5M number for a new jail is wrong, give us the right one To The Daily Sun, Concerning the article in the July 11 edition of The Laconia Daily Sun, for the sake of clarity I wish to give an alternate explanation to those offered by the county commissioners for the failure of the proposal for a new jail to gain consensus.

For the commissioners to state that this proposal has been on-going and to ask where the convention has been seems a little disingenuous since the convention and John Q. Public were excluded from the design process which yielded this Colossus.

Secondly, I have not heard any delegate say that nothing should be done.

The observation that we have to go back and address steps which were ignored by the commissioners has been made.

Thirdly, it is circuitous logic to state

that there a lot of misinformation out there since the sources of the 42.5 million dollar price tag and for the annual personnel payroll increase of 2.6 million are the commissioners themselves and the experts whom they hired. If there are other numbers which are more accurate, I would like to review those numbers and their source.

To offer the viewpoint that the convention does not give a damn is unprofessional and unjust. The delegates have consistently tried to walk the line between fiscal responsibility at a time of economic hardship for many and authorizing sufficient monies so that real needs are met. I am confident that we will continue to do just that.

Interlakes Summer Theatre is a hidden gem in the Meredith area To The Daily Sun, My wife and I just saw “Dreamgirls” this past weekend, which followed the shows “Ain’t Misbehavin” and “All I Ask of You”, presented by the Interlakes Summer Theatre. We’ve seen many shows the past few years and decided to become subscribers.

Interlakes is certainly a hidden gem in the Meredith area. The performers

are first rate, the venue is wonderful, and the shows are spectacular. We have attended many shows in various cities, and find the shows at Interlakes to be on an extremely high level.

So go buy some tickets and enjoy the show. You won’t be disappointed!

LETTERS List of Obama’s broken promises as long as your arms & legs To The Daily Sun, I keep reading the many letters written by those who support Obama and his leftist progressive agenda, though it seems like I’m a moth attracted to a flame sometimes. Someone said, “To ignore the facts doesn’t change the facts”, but most of the left have their heads stuck firmly in the sand. Even when facts are presented to them they ignore them, choosing rather to attack the messenger or deny the facts exist.

Take for instance when, I believe it was Bob Meade, wrote recently that 80 percent of those opposed to civil rights legislation in the ‘60s were Democrats (a fact check-able on Wikapedia), he was immediately accosted by the left, here in this paper. With heads stuck deeply in political mud they denied the truth of the statement, going on to attack Bob’s veracity. Easier then checking the facts I guess.

Some other facts the left doesn’t care to address. 1) The fact that Obama promised the American people that an investigation into the “fast and furious” gun running scheme

would be conducted. Anyone heard yet who authorized and ran this?

Anyone being held responsible yet?

2) Obama promised an investigation into the Benghazi attack and those responsible would be brought to justice. Anyone heard anything about this sense Hillary said “What does it really matter”? Those responsible are still openly walking around Libya free and clear. 3) Has anyone heard of anyone being held accountable for the IRS scandal? At the hearings Obama’s people didn’t know, couldn’t remember or took the 5th.

The list of broken Obama promises are as long as both of your arms and legs combined. Close behind are his list of broken laws and unconstitutional acts. Just the other day he decided, Congress be damned, he would change provisions of Affordable Care Act which Congress passed and he signed into law. Rule by edict and presidential command. How far off can a dictatorship be?

To The Daily Sun, Abolishing the IRS essentially means going to the FAIR tax as the way to fund the USA government.

Nothing could be better for us or the country! No need to keep records, no filing tax returns or paying income tax! Just pay as you go when you buy

NEW items (no tax on used or recycled items). We MUST demand abolishing the IRS and replacing it with the FAIR tax!

I hope that many of you readers will jump on this as the way we MUST go.

Concord man named new assistant school superintendent in Laconia LACONIA — The School District has hired Raymond High School Principal Kirk Beitler to be its new assistant superintendent.

Beitler lives in Concord and was the athletic director for the Franklin School District (1995 to 2003) and the Gilford High School vice-principal (2003 to 2006) before he went to Raymond.

Kirk Beitler Beitler said there were (Courtesy photo) a number of similarities between Raymond and Laconia including the demographics of the community and says those similarities attracted him to the position.

He said he has known Superintendent Terri Forsten for a long time and the two have worked together in a federal grant program that both Raymond and Laconia high schools have that promotes innovations for teaching in the classroom. There are 13 schools in New England that participate in the grant.

Beitler is holds a Bachelors degree in physical education from Cortland State University in New York and a Masters of health education from Plymouth State University. He holds a Certificate of Advance Graduate Study or CAGS from PSU. He said the two schools districts are working on a short transition period over the summer and he will be alternating physically in both communities for the immediate future.

Beitler will be at the Tuesday School Board meeting at Harvard Street School that begins at 7 p.m.

Meredith woman injured in Lake Winnisquam diving accident MEREDITH — A 59-year-old woman was injured Thursday evening in a diving accident at a private home on Collins Brook Road.

Lakes Region Mutual Aid dispatch broadcasts said at some point the woman was on a surfboard and but was still in the water.

The home is at the head of Lake Winnisquam and is not really visible from the road.

Numerous firefighters were attending the woman who needed to be transported via stretcher to the front side of the house to the awaiting ambulance.

Meredith Police and an officer from the N.H. State Marine Patrol were also at the scene. No other details were available at press time.

Flood damage in Grafton County estimated at $3.5 million

LEBANON (AP) — Officials in New Hampshire’s Grafton County estimate damages to be at least $3.5 million from flash flooding this summer.

Federal officials are determining whether the state will qualify for federal funds.

On Wednesday, Gov. Maggie Hassan toured parts of the state that were significantly damaged by last week’s flooding. She visited Westmoreland, Lebanon and Claremont to view progress on recovery efforts.

Last week, she toured parts of Alstead, Lebanon,

Washington and Westmoreland.

The Valley News reports a long-term recovery committee called Upper Valley Strong is still seeking donations, supplies and volunteer labor. They spent time Wednesday with representatives from the American Red Cross, Upper Valley Haven, Listen Community Services, the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council and city officials, offering cleanup advice and explaining available resources.

TRAIN from page 2 nearly all the 2,000 residents forced to evacuate after the crash — a third of the population— to return home, the town’s mayor said.

Quebec Premier Pauline Marois arrived in town and renewed her criticism of Edward Burkhardt, president and CEO of U.S.-based Rail World Inc., which owns the runaway train.

“The leader of this company should have been there from the beginning,” Marois said at a news conference.

Burkhardt arrived in town for the first time Wednesday with a police escort, facing jeers from residents.

Burkhardt has said he delayed his visit to deal with the crisis from his Chicago office, saying he was better able to communicate from there.

“I understand the extreme anger,” he said. “We

owe an abject apology to the people in this town.”

He has blamed the engineer for failing to set the brakes properly before the unmanned train hurtled down a seven-mile (11-kilometer) incline, derailed and ignited. All but one of its 73 cars was carrying oil, and at least five exploded.Burkhardt said the engineer had been suspended without pay and was under “police control.” Burkhardt did not name the engineer, though the company had previously identified the employee as Tom Harding of Quebec. Harding has not spoken publicly since the crash.

Anger at the railway officials among residents appeared to mount Thursday.

Lac-Megantic’s mayor, Colette Roy-Laroche, said a hoped-for meeting with Burkhardt didn’t materialize.

“I am angry with the fact that he did not communicate with me sooner,” she said.

LACONIA — A watering trough which for years stood in front of the Harold Tefft house on Elm Street in Lakeport has been located and returned to Lakeport, where it now will serve as a colorful planter.

Ginger Tefft Ryan, vice president of the Lakeport Community Association, says that she can remember seeing the trough in McGrath Square right up through the mid-1940s, but that it disappeared shortly after World War II. ‘’Old postcards show it in McGrath Square around 1904-05 and it had been there since before the turn of the century,’’ says Ryan.

She said that the watering trough was finally located when she and Charlie Hopkins were going through the postcards at the Lakeport Community Association’s museum and she pointed the postcard out to him. ‘’He said that he knew exactly where it was and that was in a field off from High Street in Gilmanton,’’ said Ryan, who later visited the Clark property in Gilmanton, bringing the postcard along with her.

She was able to contact the daughter of Al Clark, who had owned the property when the watering trough was moved to Gilmanton, and told her she would like to bring it back to Lakeport. ‘’She said we could take it back so Bob Fortier and Armand Bolduc went down to Gilmanton and brought it back in Armand’s pickup truck after it was loaded in with a bucket loader,’’ said Ryan.

She said that it was through the Clark family that she was able to learn what had happened over the years to the watering trough. ‘’After it left Lakeport it went to the Norman Hubbard Farm in Gilford.

Hubbard was a Belknap County Commissioner and friendly with my father, who later served on the Laconia City Council,’’ said Ryan.

She said that her father, who was a paving contractor, partnered with Jim Irwin in starting the Gilford Bowl race track in the late 1940s, which was on land at the end of the runway a short distance from where Patrick’s Pub is now located. The last vestiges of the one-third of a mile oval track were removed during the Laconia Airport’s runway extension project several years ago.

Ryan said that the watering trough remained at the farm until the property was converted into a golf course, now Pheasant Ridge, in the early 1960s. ‘’Apparently Hubbard gave it away or sold it to Clark and it’s been in Gilmanton for nearly 50 years.’’

Since the trough was returned to Lakeport it has been set up underneath a tent just across the railroad tracks from the Lakeport fire station in an area where the community association has set up a flagpole and a memorial marker in honor of Wanda Tibbetts, one of the founders of the Lakeport Community Association.

She said that Charlie Beede sandblasted the trough, which was then painted white with all of its trim done on black by Mike Plunkett. The paint see next page

Road agent’s alleged behavior at heart of harassment suit against Barnstead

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BARNSTEAD — After a three-year investigation, the N.H. Commission on Human Rights has determined a there is probable cause for a former highway department foreman to sue the town and its elected road agent for sexual harassment and retaliation.

Richard Niolet, 56, formerly of Center Barnstead but now of Concord, claims Road Agent Christopher Carazzo discriminated against him racially and sexually beginning in 2008 and 2009. He also claims Carazzo, first elected in 2008, retaliated against him after he filed a formal complaint with the selectmen in July of 2009, eventually eliminating the foreman position and causing him to quit his job on May 27, 2010.

Niolet filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on July 10, 2010. The commission determined the statute of limitations had expired regarding the claim of racial discrimination but continued the investigation into the complaints about sexual harassment and retaliation.

The first official communication was on July 16, from preceding page for the project was donated by Sanel Auto Parts.

Ryan said that work on the trough will continue with a post being welded into the middle of the trough which will hold a sign which reads McGrath Square. ‘’It’s a really exciting project. When all the work is completed we’re going to have a ceremony and invite the public,’’ she said.

2009, when Niolet wrote a letter to the Selectboard detailing his issues with Carazzo.

He wrote that Carazzo was creating a “hostile work environment” and while he understood Carazzo was elected to bring some order and discipline to the highway department, he didn’t think there was a “need for a maximum security prison atmosphere.”

He said he feared retaliation if he complained to the board and had consulted with the NAACP and an lawyer. He also wrote he would go “VERY public” if selectmen didn’t act or if there was retaliation.

Niolet, who is white and has a racially-mixed child and grandchildren, told selectmen he had told Carazzo to stop making racial comments because he was offended and detailed one particular comment made regarding watermelon. He said Carazzo apologized to him immediately and spoke to a contractor who had also made some disparaging racial comments, Niolet said the contractor also apologized to him but told him someone should have forewarned him about the composition of Niolet’s family.

Nioet said he felt both apologies were “insincere” but said he never heard another racial slur. The commission determined the statute of limitations on racial discrimination had passed and there was no probable cause to continue that portion of the investigation.

Niolet said the sexual discrimination began in the form of Carazzo calling him and other members of the department “fag,” “bitch,” “dumb ass” and other names. He also said Carazzo told him to tell his crews to “take their skirts off” in order to complete a certain job.

According to the paperwork obtained from the commission, on July 27, 2009 the Board of Selectmen, then headed by David Kerr, began an investigation and interviewed every member of the highway department in private. They said one employee remembered hearing Carazzo make a racially-tinged watermelon comment as Niolet had written in his letter.

The same employee told selectmen he often participated in “banter” with Carazzo but he had never heard Niolet participate. The problems between Niolet and Carazzo, he said, began when Niolet told Carazzo he was creating a hostile work environment. He also said Carazzo told him privately that Niolet wouldn’t be around much longer.

The three remaining employees had varying tales to tell including one who said he heard “Sally” and “skirts” comments coming from Carazzo. He also told the board that Carazzo was fair and he interpreted the comments as “all in fun.” He said he didn’t hear any racial comments from Carazzo.

A different employee said he hadn’t heard anything and thought Niolet was power-hungry.

Another said Niolet was ambitious and wanted to be the road agent. He said he had never heard any sexual or racial comments. A fifth employee said he never heard anything.

Three of the five said Carazzo demanded hard work from the department’s employees and one said Carazzo was not known to compliment them.

Another said Carazzo “needs management classes” and shouldn’t run his department “like a concentrasee next page

from preceding page tion camp” but that he didn’t think Carazzo should be fired.

Niolet wrote a second letter dated July 16, 2009 — one week after his first letter to selectmen — telling the board Carazzo was aware of the complaint and saying the harassment had escalated and two more employees were now being targeted. He said when he and another employee mentioned eating lunch while checking a clogged culvert, Carazzo said the two could go to a “real private spot ... where no one would hear Rich’s screams.”

On July 29, 2009 selectmen sent Carazzo a letter explaining the complaint and requesting him to meet with the board in a non-public session on August 4, 2009. He was told he would be given every opportunity to respond. The meeting actually occurred August 11 according to the Human Rights Commission.

A second letter from selectmen addressing Niolet’s second complaint told Carazzo not to retaliate against any of his employees or attempt to intimidate them. The letter said that, despite his being elected, state laws gave the board the authority to remove him.

The commission’s interviews said at the August 11 non-public meeting, Carazzo told selectmen the alleged watermelon comment was not true and he had spoken to the contractor about making racial slurs.

He denied telling his team to take off their skirts and said he didn’t make the disparaging sexual comments.

“Carazzo ended his meeting with Selectmen by stating he couldn’t believe the accusations against him and wasn’t going to this it lying down,” read the report.

When asked to clarify his statement, Carazzo said he had gotten a lawyer and he “wasn’t going to let the crew walk all over him.”

On August 22, 2009 selectmen sent Carazzo a finding that concluded most of the allegations against him had been substantiated by at least

one or more of his employees. They told him to stop all forms of conversation in the entire department that could be considered inappropriate, to create a better working environment and to use all of the employees to the best of their abilities. They also said he and his employees should all take a harassment/discrimination class.

There was also some discussion at that meeting about Carazzo’s authority to demote Niolet to laborer status.

Selectmen said he had the authority but Niolet resigned before he could be demoted.

On May 25, 2010 the Human Rights Commission investigation reported Niolet contacted Selectman’s Chair David Kerr by phone and told him the harassment had begun again.

Board members spoke with Carazzo who told them he had issued a disciplinary write-up for Niolet for performance and that he wasn’t doing his job. He said he felt like he was “babysitting” Niolet.

Niolet quit two days later and filed the formal complaint in July of 2010.

The commission interviewed two of his former co-workers as part of their investigation as well interviewing Kerr and Carazzo.

The interviews indicate one of Niolet’s former co-workers had heard the sexual harassment comments and was one of the people to whom Carazzo allegedly made a “Brokeback Mountain” reference. One said he never heard Carazzo make any of the alleged comments.

Unable to reach an agreement at the Human Rights Commission level, the case was removed from that jurisdiction at Carazzo’s request and is now in the Belknap County Superior Court for possible trial.

Selectman David Kerr declined comment yesterday. Carazzo is represented by an attorney who also declined to comment. It is not known if Niolet has retained counsel however, the report issued by the commission indicated he acted as his own lawyer during its investigation.

STRANGLER from page 2 Eleven Boston-area women between the ages of 19 and 85 were sexually assaulted and killed between 1962 and 1964, crimes that terrorized the region and grabbed national headlines.

Thursday’s announcement represented the first forensic evidence tying DeSalvo to the case.

DeSalvo, a blue-collar worker and Army veteran who was married with children, confessed to the 11 Boston Strangler slayings, as well as two others. But he was never convicted of the Boston Strangler killings.

He had been sentenced to life in prison for a series of armed robberies and sexual assaults and was stabbed to death in the state’s maximum security prison in Walpole in 1973 — but not before he recanted his confession.

An attorney for DeSalvo’s family said Thursday they believe there’s still reasonable doubt he killed Sullivan, even if additional DNA tests show a 100 percent match.

The lawyer, Elaine Sharp, said previous private forensic testing of Sullivan’s remains showed other DNA from what appeared to be semen was present that didn’t match DeSalvo.

Sharp said of the killing. “I don’t think the evidence is a hundred percent solid, as is being represented here today.”

But Donald Hayes, a forensic scientist who heads the Boston Police Department’s crime lab, said investigators’ samples were properly preserved, while the evidence used in private testing came from Sullivan’s exhumed body and was “very questionable.”

Sharp also said Thursday that the family was outraged that police followed a DeSalvo relative to get the DNA they needed for comparison.

Casey Sherman, a nephew of Sullivan’s who wrote a book on the case pointing to other possible suspects, acknowledged the new findings point to the man he had defended. Sherman said the DNA evidence against DeSalvo appeared to be overwhelming.

“I only go where the evidence leads,” he said, thanking police and praising them “for their incredible persistence.”

Sherman also expressed sympathy for the DeSalvo family, with whom he had aligned in the past in a shared belief that DeSalvo didn’t kill his aunt. That belief was based on DeSalvo’s confession, which Sherman previously said was inconsistent with other

Commission sees handwriting on wall; towns will start paying for mutual fire aid directly

By RogeR Amsden THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Belknap County Commissioners say they may find themselves with no option other than elminating funding for the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid Association from next year’s county budget.

They discussed the funding issue yesterday, after receiving a copy of a letter Center Harbor selectmen had sent to the association informing the organization that it would pay its annual assessment for 2014 directly rather than through the county.

Commissioners noted that Meredith selectmen have already voted to pay directly to the association and that Gilford appears set to go the same route.

The current county budget has an appropriation of $554,037 for the LRMFAA, $22,457 of which is from Center Harbor, which would have saved $4,721 had it paid directly rather than having the assessment paid through the county. Meredith, which was assessed $100,545, would have paid $25,445 less, and Gilford, whose share was $88,631, would have seen a reduction of $14,326 with direct payment.

That’s because the formula used to assess county taxes is different from the one used by the LRMFAA to bill non-Belknap County communities who are members of the 36-community mutual fire aid association.

The LRMFAA calculates the shares of the 25 municipalities in Carroll, Grafton, Merrimack and Stafford counties and bills them directly according to a formula consisting of the sum of a fixed charge of 10-percent of the total assessment plus charges based on the municipalities’ total property values and population.

However, Laconia and the 10 towns of Belknap County are treated differently. Instead of billing the eleven municipalities directly, their total share of the LRMFAA budget is included in the county budget and apportioned among them according solely to their share of the total assessed valuation of the county.

In the past, many Belknap County Fire Chiefs have supported having the mutal aid bill included in county taxes because they candidly did not want to carry the extra expense in their own town budgets, where it would be more obvious to taxpayers. ‘’We have no say in the matter. The selectmen have voted to pay directly,’’ said Commission Chairman John Thomas of Belmont, ‘’It’s a service the county has provided, but every budget cycle we keep taking heat for it.’’ ‘’At what point do we say we’re not going to do it?’’ asked Commissioner Steve Nedeau of Meredith.

County Administrator Debra Shackett said that the mutual aid group has been talking with boards of selectmen about the issue and that no matter what happened some towns would benefit financially while others would not if the county stops funding mutual aid altogether.

She said that it appears there is no way that the county can carry only a portion of the mutual aid assessment in its budget, because there’s no way that funds to pay for it wouldn’t also come from towns which want to pay their assessment directly. ‘’There’s no way to please everybody. If Lakes Region Mutual Aid costs were in the local budgets there would be some oversight. Currently there is no direct scrutiny by taxpayers.’’ said Shackett.

Commissioner Ed Philpot of Laconia recalled that when he proposed cutting the mutual aid item from the county budget about five years ago concern was expressed that ‘’if it’s not run through the county that means the voters can turn it down.’’

He said that from his standpoint ‘’when one withdraws, they all do.’’

Thomas indicated that he didn’t see any way to continue mutual aid as a line in the county budget. ‘’It’s all or nothing,’’ said Thomas.

If the appropriation for the LRMFAA are stripped from the county budget, the eleven municipalities, like the other 25 members of the association, would be billed directly. This year they would pay the same total amount, $554,037, but the shares would be distributed differently.

Billed through the county tax, Alton would pay $81,048, Barnstead $27,350, Belmont $34,381, Center Harbor $22,457, Gilford $88,631, Gilmanton $25,680, Laconia $106,731, Meredith $100,545, New Hampton $17,528, Sanbornton $22,072 and Tilton $27,614.

Billed directly, according to the formula applied by the LRMFAA, four towns would pay less; Alton would save $18,922, Center Harbor $4,721, Gilford $14,326 and Meredith $25,445. The other seven would pay more: Barnstead $9,206, Belmont $18,290, Gilmanton $6,237, Laconia $17,606, New Hampton $3,372, Sanbornton $4,527 and Tilton $4,176.

Wilson scattered seven hits and stuck out six to get the win. Ryan Tezak (West Virginia) pitched the ninth and was credited with a save.

The win moved Laconia to 12-10 on the season and left the team in a twoway tie for third place, with Mystic.

Both squads are 2-1/2 games behind division leading Newport.

Laconia will play three of its next four games at home, starting with a

6:30 p.m. contest tonight at Robbie Mills Field against New Bedford.

After traveling to Saratogo on Saturday, the Muskrats will reutrn home for a Sunday evening game against Newport and a Monday evening game against Mystic.

First baseman Ryan McBroom (West Virginia) led the Muskrats offensive attack with a single and a double and two runs batted in. His sacrifice fly in the first plated the first of three runs the Muskrats opened the game with. Third baseman Taylor Drake (McNeese State) doubled home the second run and the third scored on a wild pitch.

Red Sox rally for 10-inning win in Seattle SEATTLE (AP) — Daniel Nava hit a two-out single in the top of the 10th inning to score pinch-runner Jackie Bradley Jr., and the Boston Red Sox rallied from a four-run deficit for the second time in a four-game series to beat the Seattle Mariners 8-7 in 10 innings on Thursday.

Ryan Lavarnway walked to open the 10th against Seattle’s Tom Wilhelmsen (0-3) and was replaced by Bradley.

Brady Holt laid down a sacrifice bunt to get Bradley to second base with one out. Wilhelmsen struck out Iglesias on the eighth pitch of the at-bat then intentionally walked Jacoby Ellsbury.

Nava fell behind in the count, but was able to roll a 1-2 pitch back up the middle and past the dive of second baseman Brad Miller to give Boston

the lead.

Koji Uehara pitched the 10th for his seventh save as the Red Sox took three of four in the series.

Boston also rallied from a 5-1 deficit to win the second game of the series 11-8.

Steven Wright (1-0) was the reason Boston was able to rally, shutting down the Mariners after replacing starter Ryan Dempster in the fourth inning. The knuckleball throwing right-hander allowed just three hits in 5 2-3 innings of relief. He struck out three, including Mike Zunino for the final out of the fourth inning with runners on second and third. Seattle got just one baserunner to second against Wright, and that was via an error.

It was just the second major league appearance for Wright.

PLANE from page 2 “We don’t know what the pilots were thinking, but I can tell you that in previous accidents there have been crews that don’t evacuate. They wait for other vehicles to come, to be able to get passengers out safely,” said National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman.

And in this accident, it appears one of the two Chinese teens who died may have been run over by a fire truck rushing to the burning jet.

Hersman said Thursday the fuel tanks did not rupture in the crash, and that the fire was caused by oil on hot engines.

The NTSB is now wrapping up their investigation, heading back to Washington D.C. in coming days with “a mountain of information” to analyze and review, from pieces of the airliner to interview transcripts.

Many passengers jumped out the back of the plane or slid down inflated slides through emergency exits. Then, say some, an unnerving wait began.

“We walked and this lady starts to appear, really stumbling and waving her hand and yelling. It took a couple seconds to register,” said Elliott Stone, who was returning from a martial arts competition in South Korea. “Then as I saw the condition she was in, I was like, oh my goodness.”

The woman collapsed, he said, and he and his family realized there might be more victims nearby, “so we started running, searching for more. I believe we ended up finding four people that were in the back in the rubble, all very

bad condition. We stayed with them, comforted them, yelling for ambulances, fire trucks, anyone to come help.”

911 tapes recorded frantic callers, pleading for help.

“We’ve been on the ground, I don’t know, 20 minutes, a half hour,” said one woman. “There are people laying on the tarmac with critical injuries, head injuries. We’re almost losing a woman here.

We’re trying to keep her alive.”

San Francisco Fire Department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said Thursday that some passengers who called 911 may not have immediately seen ambulances at the scene because they were dispatched to a nearby staging area as first responders assessed who needed to be taken to the hospital.

“There is a procedure for doing it,” Talmadge said. “You don’t cause more chaos in an already chaotic situation.

You don’t do that with 50 ambulances running around all over the place.”

Within 18 minutes of receiving word of the crash, five ambulances and more than a dozen other rescue vehicles were at the scene or en route, in addition to airport fire crews and crews from San Mateo County and other agencies already on the scene, Talmadge said.

“Our response was immediate,” Talmadge said. “It’s not what you may see in the movies. That’s not how a real-life response is to a large-scale incident.”

Most of the passengers who were hurt had only minor injuries and were quickly treated and released from hospitals.

Futsal coming to new indoor sports center

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

TILTON — Futsal, an indoor version of soccer played with a smaller ball with less bounce than a regular soccer ball, will be coming to the Lakes Region this fall and winter., ‘’It will be one the youth sports activities that will be taking place here,’’ says Bob Callahan, owner of the Tilton Sports Center on Autumn Drive, where a 10,000-square-foot indoor turf field has just been installed.

Callahan says that he expects that futsal will gain in popularity as it is introduced to the area, but expects the main focus of activity on the 80-foot-by120-foot turf field will be youth soccer and both youth and adult lacrosse.

Futsal, which was developed in Brazil and Uruguay in the 1930s and 1940s as a solution to the lack of available soccer fields, is played indoors between two teams of five players each, one of whom is the goalkeeper. ‘’Futsal is a great sport and is really good for helping young soccer players develop ball control and passing skills,’’ says Scott Ruggles, Tilton School soccer coach, who says that the turf field offers an ideal spot for both futsal and youth soccer, as well as lacrosse.

The parent of five children ranging in age from 5 to 13, Ruggles says he feels fortunate to have the new facility right in his own backyard providing youth sports league activities. ‘’Parents like me have had to drive to Bow, which is at least 20 minutes away for indoor youth

sports. Now can get here in five minutes for youth soccer games. This is a great facility to start a youth league and get the kids to play during the winter months,’’ says Ruggles.

Another parent looking forward to having the facility nearby is Eric Pyra of Tilton, who volunteers in youth soccer and says that both his 12-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son play soccer .

‘’It’s going to cut down a lot on the driving to and from games,’’ says Pyra.

Callahan says that both the Lakes Region Lacrosse Club and the Lakes Region United Soccer league have signed on and will be playing games at the sports center starting in the fall.

He expects that the facility will be greatly in demand for sports camps

CENTER HARBOR — The skies were grey, humidity was high and course conditions were demanding, yet 47 golfers of the nine-hole Ladies League played the July 11 determination.

Karen Bourgeois was rewarded for her resolve by scoring the only chip-in of the day. Karen landed her ball on hole #1 just off the green but the grass conditions required her to chip onto the green with a middle pin placement, which was about 30 feet away. Karen was excited to note that it was her second chip-in in two days. “And I never get chipins”, she exclaimed. League president Linda Ridlon pointed out the fact that the chip-in money had been accumulating for three weeks so Karen was more than happy to be the only winner.

Laurie Fox scored her winner on hole #3 for the “closest to the pin” contest making her ball come to rest 22 ft. from the front pin placement on a green that slopes front to back. For the “longest drive confrom preceding page inside the former warehouse building into a stateof-the-art, year-round recreational facility which will have multiple uses and is geared primarily to the youth and adult leagues. ‘’This is something the area needs, and we’re happy to be in a position to provide it,’’ says Callahan,.

He said that he’s fortunate in that most of the infrastructure for the center was already in place as a result of his having developed the property seven years ago as the Granite Media Center, which will continue to operate out of the building as an independent entity providing film production services.

He says that the turf field arrived in late June and after it was installed some 24,000 pounds of rubber infill were worked into the grass-like turf to provide a cushioned feel for those using the field.

This week the Tilton Indoor Sports Center was certified as an approved indoor sports center by the New Hampshire Soccer Association. ‘’It’s the fourth facility in the state to be certified,’’ said Cory Halvorsen of Barnstead, the vice president of indoor soccer for the NH Soccer Association.

Halvorsen is active with Revolution United, a youth soccer program for children 10 TO 18 years old in Barnstead. ‘’We have 110 kids involved and expect to be playing here a lot after November,’’ he says.

test” on hole #6, Mary Cross (19 and under handicap division) and Kathy Baker (20 and above handicap division) coped with the “no roll conditions” and drove their balls in the air long enough to out distance the rest of the field. Linda Lee was the lucky winner of the drawing from those golfers who had landed their first or second shots onto the 7 155yard par 3 hole that requires accurate shots as three bunkers protect the green.

Jane Flynn was feeling some luck of the Irish as her name was drawn as the winner of the 50/50 pot.

The three ladies who persevered through the challenging conditions to shoot 50 and under were Jan Pano with a score of 47, Laurie Fox-48 and Gerry McGillicuddy-50. Ridlon then announced the results of the game of the week that was named “Par 4’s Only.” All four players played their own ball and the two best net scores were then added together for the team score on each of the par 4 holes. Two teams came in with a score of 47. The team of Val Langbehn, Rose Hansford, Liz Cooper and Pat Armstrong lost in a card playoff to the team of Gerry McGillicuddy, Carol Ashton, Kristin Cartier and Ingrid Smith.

During the discussion period of the meeting, several questions regarding rules were explained.

Betsy Cox, rules consultant clarified the stroke penalty incurred when one’s ball is inadvertently hit once the ball is deemed “in play.” Also, the illegality of reaching over the hole to tap in a missed putt was confirmed.

Ridlon restated the mantra of “Let’s hope for sunny skies for next week’s round!” as the evening came to a close.

Summer means competing in metered pools for Wavemakers LACONIA — The Wavemaker Swim Team based out of the Laconia Athletic and Swim Club practices in a 25 yard pool. However, in the summer the outdoor competion pools are often 50 meters.

The team competed at the Jenny Thompson Pool in Dover over two of the June weekends. Swimming in a 50 meter pool was a first for many of the swimmers Grace Shoemaker, Rose Sinkus, Anna Stankes, Hannah Verville, Kathryn Hawkes, Audrey Chassie, Joshua Kelleher and Owen Sanborn. Owen, 15, swam at both meets improving his time from the first meet in the 100 back by 9 seconds.

Joshua Kelleher received a best time at the second meet in his 50 breaststroke. Rebecca Cook qualified see WAVEMAKERS page 18

CHICKENS from page one the primary residence and 20 feet from any lot line.

Chickens would not be allowed to roam free. Not more than one cubic yard of droppings, stored in a closed container, could be kept at one time.

Suzanne Perley, who chairs the Zoning Task Force, explained that the panel would present its recommendations to the Zoning Board of Adjustment, which in turn would forward its proposals for amending the ordinance to the City Council where the final authority rests.

“We are an advisory body,” she said. “The final decisions will be made by the City Council.”

After voicing his misgivings when the City Council met on Monday, Councilor Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) told the committee that he had received “a lot of calls” from people concerned by the prospect of chickens in their neighborhoods. “You’re opening up a box of worms here,” he warned, stressing the odor emitted by chicken droppings along with the likelihood that chickens would attract a variety of predators and rodents.

Bolduc said that in cold months those with chickens would be tempted to heat their coops with lamps, created the risk of fire. He suggested that anyone wishing to keep chickens should be required to have their property checked by a city official to determine if it was a suitable location for a coop and be licensed like dog owners.

Charles Drake, who in 2010 sparked the debate about chickens after being denied a variance to keep a flock of laying hens on his fenced lot on Bay Street, challenged Bolduc’s knowledge of chickens by reminding the committee that he told the council that since hens would not lay without a rooster the proposal served no purpose. “He says he’s a farmer, but he must be a gentleman farmer,” Drake said.

“Everybody knows hens lay eggs without roosters.

You can’t believe what he says.”

Drake conceded that the waste smells, but explained that the odor can be eliminated by composting it and applying it as fertilizer. If I can’t take care of my chickens, I shouldn’t be allowed to have them,” he said.

Michael Foote, one nine committee members, said that he keeps 10 chickens a goat and a sheep on his property on Rollercoaster Road where predators regularly harass the chickens. “Do we want to attract predators to our neighborhood?” he asked. Drake said that raccoons, skunks, foxes and other animals are already commonplace in many neighborhoods.

Another committee member, Larry Guild said that he raised chickens commercially and stressed that they require constant care. “What if your chicken dies?” he asked Drake, who replied “bury it.”

Linda Pilliod, also from Rollercoaster Road, said she has kept chickens all her life and declared flatly “chickens do not belong in a city, mostly because of the smell, but also because they are loud.”

Noting that many residents rent from landlords who prohibit pets, Lisa Morin of the Belknap County Extension Service, who spoke for herself, doubted that the keeping of chickens would become widespread. With Bolduc, she agreed that flocks could be registered with the city and suggested that chickens might be kept in a remote location, much like gardeners share communal space. She thought that most residents intending to keep chickens would be responsible and together a strong ordinance and strict enforcement would minimize the problems.

“There are lots of examples of places where this has worked,” Morin said.

Karen Barker, who with her husband Tom keeps a rooster, 10 hens and four chicks along with 10 “meat birds” at their home on Lane Road, said that she was unable to attend the meeting, but provided the committee with informational materials about keeping chickens in urban settings. She said that she collaborated with Planning Director Shanna Saunders and Perley in preparing the proposal.

Chickens first drew the attention of the Planning Department in October 2005 when Karianne Shelley, then an aspiring veterinarian at age 15, requested a variance to keep two hens at her home on Old North Main Street in order to complete a 4-H. The ZBA denied the variance, but when Shelley appealed voted three-to-two to grant the variance until she graduated from high school in two years

time. Five years later Drake applied for a variance to keep between four and six laying hens. The ZBA denied his request and refused to reconsider its decision.

Meanwhile, chickens began appearing in backyards in cities and towns across the country.

Between 2010 and 2012 more than 500 municipalities have amended local ordinances to enable resi-

dents to keep small flocks in even the most densely developed and heavily populated neighborhoods. In 2011, Concord amended its ordinance, which had confined chickens to lots of an acre or more, to allow owners of smaller lots to keep as many as five hens, but no roosters.

DOG from page one dogs — two German Shepherds and a St. Bernard – came running toward the women and may have been startled when the family’s children started running after them and yelling at them to come back. He said the battery on the electric fence was apparently low.

He said the biting dog was quarantined at home for 10 days and must be seen by a veterinarian. All of the dogs are current on their shots.

Collins said the incident is still under investigation and the owner will be cited under a state statute regarding dogs that are a nuisance, menace or vicious. He said because the skin was broken, this is

categorized as vicious.

He said this is the first time any of the family’s dogs have bitten someone although the family has been summoned in the past for nuisance complaints regarding the dogs roaming.

“That’s why they installed the fence,” said Collins, noting it had been a long time since the original summons.

He said the incident is still under investigation.

HOSMER from page one co-sponsored with Bradley, among the most significant achievements of the session. “Jeb and I can see across the partisan divide and work together,” he remarked.

Fellow Democrat Senator Sylvia Larsen of Concord, the Senate minority leader serving her tenth term, described Hosmer as “likable and remarkable,” stressing that “he worked very well with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle.”

In a Senate where Republicans held the majority, Hosmer not surprisingly traced what success he achieved to bipartisan collaboration.The first refinement of the corporate code in two decades, he said was a major step toward attracting and retaining business that could only be taken with bipartisan support. He also joined with Bradley and Senator Bob Odell, a Republican from Lempster, to scuttle an effort of the Department of Revenue Administration to increase burdens on business by adding tips to the base of the Business Enterprise Tax, a move hotly opposed by the hospitality industry. Hosmer said that he was especially troubled that ploy was so clearly contrary to the intent of the Legislature.

Hosmer and Odell also co-sponsored legislation that established an integrated process for land development for applicants seeking one or more permits.

Hosmer said that with Bradley’s help he was able to amend a measure, introduced by Rep. David Huot, a fellow Laconia Democrat, to forestall the halving of the boat registration fee that funds the operations of Marine Patrol. The amendment provided for the agency to retain any balance at the end of the fiscal year, which it could apply to toward capital needs, chiefly the renovation of its headquarters at Glendale. Hosmer said that the building is subsiding into Lake Winnipesaukee and requires renovation estimated to cost $9.5-million. “If the revenue from the boat fees had not been diverted to the general fund,” Hosmer said, “we might not be facing this expense.”

“Bipartisanship,” Hosmer acknowledged, “broke down over the expansion of Medicaid.” He speculated that a separate bill authorizing expansion of the program might have carried the Senate, but said that the Republicans adamantly opposed including it in the budget. Instead, a commission was convened to study the issue and report in October. “I’m hopeful we will have a special session in the fall to address the expansion of Medicaid,” he said.

Hosmer admitted to “frustration” with the Democratic majority in the House, which rejected the legislation authorizing casino gambling supported by

the governor and nine of the eleven Democratic senators.

He said that without the revenue projected from gambling “we failed to restore all the funding for those with disabilities, mental health centers and higher education.

Apart from the additional revenue stream, Hosmer said that gambling would stabiAndrew Hosmer lize proceeds from the Rooms (Courtesy photo) and Meals Tax, which are lost when New Hampshire residents gamble at venues in other states.

“No budget is perfect,” Hosmer said, “but with three weeks to go the Senate, House and governor were very far apart. $100 million. We adjusted some revenues, cut some spending and closed the gap,” he said. “It was a compromise.”

Hosmer confessed he felt the heat from some Democrats, particularly over his refusal to support the repeal of the controversial “stand your ground” law enacted in the last session.

His support for legislation that would have permitted permitting employers to pay wages by electronic fund transfer without offering the option of paychecks or by payroll cards after offering the option of direct deposit also ruffled Democratic feathers. “As a business person I understand this issue,” said Hosmer, the general manager of AutoServ. “We can talk about being business friendly, but what are we going to do?”

“The demands on my time were much greater than I anticipated,” said Hosmer, who added “juggling time between work, family and the Senate is a challenge. But, I enjoyed it immensely.” He served on the Commerce and Ways and Means committees and Larsen noted, “worked on the toughest bills.”

Along with the outstanding issues surrounding health care, Hosmer said he looks forward to addressing infrastructure next year. He said that when the Senate rejected raising the gas tax to fund improvements to roads and bridges, Senator Jim Rausch (R-Derry), who chairs the Transportation Committee, asked that it put infrastructure on its agenda for the 2014 session. “We have to look longterm and find a way to fund infrastructure improvements,” Hosmer said.

Hosmer represents District 7, which was redrawn in 2010 to include the cities of Laconia and Franklin and towns of Andover, Belmont, Boscawen, Canterbury, Gilford, Northfield, Salisbury and Webster.

ZIMMERMAN from page 2 Because of the way Florida law imposes longer sentences for crimes committed with a gun, manslaughter could end up carrying a penalty as heavy as the one for second-degree murder: life in prison.

It is standard for prosecutors in Florida murder cases to ask that the jury be allowed to consider lesser charges that were not actually brought against the defendant. And it is not unusual for judges to grant such requests.

Prosecutor Richard Mantei also asked that the jury be allowed to consider third-degree murder, on the premise that Zimmerman committed child abuse when he shot the underage Martin. Zimmer-

man’s lawyer called that “bizarre” and “outrageous,” and the judge sided with the defense.

Zimmerman, 29, got into a scuffle with Martin after spotting the teen while driving through his gated townhouse complex on a rainy night in February 2012.

Zimmerman has claimed he fired in self-defense after Martin sucker-punched him and began slamming his head into the pavement. Prosecutors have disputed his account and portrayed him as the aggressor.

During closing arguments, de la Rionda argued that Zimmerman showed ill will and hatred when he whispered profanities to a police dispatcher over his cellphone while following Martin through the neighborhood.

Artist to present Winslow Homer lecture LACONIA — The Lakes Region Art Association will hold its up-coming meeting on Monday, July 15, at the Woodside Building Conference Center at the Taylor Community, 435 Union Avenue, Laconia.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m.

Russ Thibeault, local artist (and economist) will present an illustrated lecture on the topic “Winslow Homer: Inventor of American Watercolor Painting”.

Winslow Homer completed his most famous paintings less than two hours from the Lakes Region in the latter part of the 19th century.

Russ Thibeault’s watercolor, Mount Washington Winter View, inspired by Winslow Homer. (Courtesy photo)

Some of his favorite settings were Scarborough Maine, where he lived out his life, and Gloucester Massachusetts, where some of his seminal watercolors were completed.

Homer brought a vivid palette and dynamic forms to watercolor painting, which before Homer was considered little more than the coloring of illustrations. Homer

sensed he was onto “something” when he noted “In the future I will be remembered for my watercolors.” — an unheard of thought at the time, which has proven to be true.

Russ Thibeault is a member of the Lakes Region Art Association and a juried member of the New Hampshire Art Association. His paintings have been exhibited in the Lakes Region,

Portsmouth, Sunapee and New London. He began painting when in his forties and is largely self-taught. He is a selfdescribed fan of Winslow Homer.

Association meetings are open to the general public.

MEREDITH — Working with Meredith Village Savings Bank and Belknap County Economic Development, Hermit Woods Winery received the support and funding needed to purchase their future home, a building located at 72 Main Street, once known as the Capala Building, in downtown Meredith. In addition to loaning Hermit Woods the funds needed to purchase the building, Meredith Village Savings Bank provided a construction loan to bring the building up to date and give it a fresh new look. Belknap EDC also contributed funds toward the purchase of the building, as well as funds to purchase the necessary winemaking equipment to expand production to meet the expected demand of the new location.

Bob Manley, owner/ partner at Hermit Woods, said, “We are in our third year at our current location, 56 Taylor Road in Sanbornton, and are bursting at the seams. I don’t think we could produce even one more bottle of wine.”

Though the team at Hermit Woods briefly considered expanding at their current location, the cost and challenges

associated with that choice quickly made it clear they needed another option. With the help of real estate agent Ellen Mulligan of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokers, they began looking at other alternatives.

“Working with Ellen, Gracie Cilley, our Loan officer at MVSB, and Carmen Lorentz and Ken Wilson from BEDC, we have found the perfect solution for our expansion and cannot thank everyone enough for helping us make this happen. Ellen made it easy from start to finish,” said Manley.

Look for Gold During Bayswater’s Community Treasure Hunt CENTER HARBOR — Last year Waldo was hiding throughout the community. This year there is pirate treasure to be found.

Bayswater Book Co.’s 2nd Annual Summer Community Hunt challenges participants to find the treasure, or gold pieces, that are hidden in 16 different local businesses/ libraries from July 13 – August 1.

Those who spot the treasure can win prizes, books, and more. All they have to do is find the gold coins that are showing up in public areas of local businesses and libraries in Center Harbor, Moultonborough, Sandwich, Holderness and Meredith.

Anyone who wishes to participate

can stop by Bayswater Book Co. to pick up a treasure map and a small treasure chest to help carry the gold pieces that are collected.

After gathering eight gold coins, bring them to Bayswater, drop them in the large treasure chest and receive a prize. The same can be done when gold is found in the remaining eight locations. Putting coins in the treasure chest also gives players a chance to win other, larger prizes to be drawn at Bayswater’s Community Treasure Hunt Party on Thursday, August 1 from 5:30-7 p.m.

For more information about Bayswater’s Community Treasure Hunt, call Bayswater at 253-8858.

from preceding page Hermit Woods has contracted with Christopher P. Williams Architects to help design the look of their new building, ensuring that the changes they make fit in with the surrounding Main Street businesses. Eric Gallagher from Gallagher Construction will be bringing the design to life. They expect to begin work just as soon as they get approval from the town of Meredith.

Ken Hardcastle, Chuck Lawrence, and Bob Manley opened this small boutique winery in Sanbornton, New Hampshire in 2011. They make a wide variety of traditional and non-

traditional wines from local fruit and honey, as well as a few select wines crafted from grapes purchased from Chile.

People can sample their wine by visiting the Hermit Woods tasting room, which is open on weekends from 11-5, with additional hours in July and August, Wednesday through Friday from 1-5.

Hermit Woods wines can also be purchased in a select few local restaurants, wine shops, and beer stores throughout New Hampshire, as well as in the winery’s tasting room.

Hermit Woods wines are also available for purchase online in sixteen states across the country.

PET OF THE WEEK

DAISY

Daisy - little 14” Beagle, is as pretty as they come. Big brown eyes and shiny dark nose ready to spring into action sniffing out all the treats you can hide.

Daisy’s owner doted on her, took her for long walks twice a day and made sure she was safe and secure on her favorite spot on the bed. Sadly forced to give up this sweet little girl due to ill health, she came to live at New Hampshire Humane Society. We noticed Daisy had a bit of a digestive upset, quite the understatement when we performed abdominal surgery to remove the remains of what might once have been a rawhide chewy. We still have the X-rays to prove it!

Happily Daisy came through her surgery with flying colors.

She’s ready for her forever home now. One where regular walks are the norm, the company of people, possibly a dog or two.

She’s about seven but still in her prime.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

Know that these distortions can’t be helped, and don’t believe what you see.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Effort is like money. If you don’t put enough forward, you can’t buy what you want, which is sad. If you put too much forward, then you’re overpaying for what you want, and that doesn’t feel good, either.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re not looking for a chance to demonstrate your experience and maturity, but it just so happens that one comes up. Take the time to get organized -- a successful outcome depends on it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a pressure on you to be interesting. Some would interpret this as a cue to posture, perform or even stretch the truth in order to entertain others. You know better. Nothing is more interesting than you being real.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 12). Your cosmic birthday present is immediately gratifying: You’ll get your way and meet a personal goal, too. Use strategy and problem-solving skills to earn big in August. September requires that you pay for training, which is well worth the expense. November and December show you in transition. 2014 brings a fresh scene. Leo and Scorpio people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 22, 38 and 49.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll hit a bout of non-productivity -- alarming for someone as goal-oriented as you. Don’t fight it; ride it. Then absolve yourself and move on. This won’t put you too far behind unless you waste time beating yourself up about it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Why wait for a good reason to tune into the emotions of those around you? Provide opportunities to talk about life. Invite others to open up and express thoughts and concerns. It’s time to bond.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a chance for new employment or a different kind of working arrangement. It probably won’t sound ideal at first, but you’ll never really know until you say “yes.” This is worth a try.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A friend exclaims, “I can’t believe you went there!” But you’ve always “been there,” and the only difference is that you’re finally letting your true thoughts and feelings show through instead of repressing them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Opposing forces can provide a nice amount of tension -- or they can pull so hard that they have a paralyzing effect. Avoid getting caught in the middle of a contest between particularly strong wills.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you’re thinking along certain lines, it’s easy to assume that others are on the same page, and it’s surprising to learn that they are not. Don’t obsess.

Relax and be open to what people have to offer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Wishing to be somewhere else is a waste of life. Give full attention to your current endeavor. You’ve centered your life on the thing that gives it meaning. Trust that you’ve made good decisions.

You had your reasons.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you need help pulling things together, you’ll get it. You are surrounded by people with similar goals who like to give, share and support. This is an easy-going time for you, but you have to remember to reach out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Friends and family are fun-house mirrors that reflect a version of you that’s never quite accurate.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, July 12, 2013— Page 23

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, July 12, the 193rd day of 2013.

There are 172 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 12, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill authorizing the Medal of Honor.

On this date: In 1543, England’s King Henry VIII married his sixth and last wife, Catherine Parr.

In 1690, forces led by William of Orange defeated the army of James II at the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland.

In 1909, the House of Representatives joined the Senate in passing the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, allowing for a federal income tax, and submitted it to the states. (It was declared ratified in February 1913.)

In 1943, the World War II tank battle of Prokhorovka between German invaders and Soviet defenders took place with no clear victor.

In 1948, the Democratic national convention, which nominated President Harry S. Truman for a second term of office, opened in Philadelphia.

In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was flown by helicopter from the White House to a secret mountaintop location as part of a drill involving a mock nuclear attack on Washington.

In 1967, six days of race-related rioting erupted in Newark, N.J.; the violence claimed 26 lives.

In 1973, actor Lon Chaney, Jr., 67, died in San Clemente, Calif.

In 1977, President Jimmy Carter defended Supreme Court limits on government payments for poor women’s abortions, saying, “There are many things in life that are not fair.”

In 1984, Democratic presidential candidate Walter F. Mondale announced he’d chosen U.S. Rep. Geraldine A. Ferraro of New York to be his running-mate; Ferraro was the first woman to run for vice president on a major-party ticket.

In 1988, Democratic presidential candidate Michael S. Dukakis tapped Sen. Lloyd Bentsen of Texas as his running-mate.

In 1993, some 200 people were killed when an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 struck northern Japan and triggered a tsunami. In Somalia, a mob enraged by a deadly United Nations attack on the compound of Mohamed Farrah Aidid killed an AP photographer and three employees of Reuters.

Ten years ago: Wrapping up a five-day tour of Africa, President George W. Bush said he would not allow terrorists to use the continent as a base “to threaten the world.” The USS Ronald Reagan, the first carrier named for a living president, was commissioned in Norfolk, Va. Jazz great Benny Carter died at age 95.

Five years ago: Former White House press secretary Tony Snow died in Washington, D.C. at age 53. Former All-Star outfielder and longtime Yankees broadcaster Bobby Murcer died in Oklahoma City at age 62.

One year ago: Vice President Joe Biden rallied support for President Barack Obama at the NAACP’s convention in Houston, declaring that Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s electionyear agenda would hurt — not help — working families in the black community. A scathing report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh said the late Joe Paterno and other top Penn State officials had buried child sexual abuse allegations against Jerry Sandusky more than a decade earlier to avoid bad publicity.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a 45-year-old gay man who has never had a relationship, and I don’t expect it to change. I have lived all of my life in the closet. I know it’s not emotionally healthy, but I feel unable to confide in anyone. When I was a teenager, I confided in a minister, who then told my parents. They never accepted me. My parents are both gone now. I have no friends.

I work two jobs, which precludes a social life. I’ve listened to my co-workers’ conversations and can tell they wouldn’t understand. I live in an area where coming out could mean the loss of my jobs, my landlord could evict me, and I worry that someone’s intolerance could turn violent.

There is no PFLAG or other resource in my area. There are no gay bars. I feel unable to relocate due to economic concerns. I realize my isolation is my own fault. I’m not an outgoing, talkative person. In particular, I have always found it difficult to talk about myself. How do I open the door? -- In Turmoil in Kansas Dear Kansas: You don’t need to go to a gay bar. You can look online, and not only for prospective partners, but also to make new friends regardless of their sexual orientation. It will protect your privacy while giving you an opportunity to connect with others. Regular email conversations can also help you learn to communicate better. And PFLAG has online support at pflag.org. Please check it out.

Dear Annie: I have an adult niece who no longer speaks to her grandparents. No one knows why, and her parents tell us the niece “deals with things in her own way.” Her grandparents are heartbroken.

The question is: Do I invite this niece to a family wedding?

She is difficult to be around and makes things uncomfortable for those of us who must observe her behavior. It is important to the bride that her grandparents be at the wedding, and we want them to feel at ease. We have no problem not inviting

the niece, but do not want to start a war with her parents. -Family Issues Dear Issues: We generally favor inviting those people you wish and letting the chips fall where they may. You are not responsible for your niece’s estrangement. However, you also are not obligated to invite her, although it’s quite possible that the grandparents might welcome a chance to see the girl, even from six tables away. The decision ultimately rests with the bridal couple, but you might first talk it over with the grandparents, as well as the parents of this niece. Explain the problem and ask whether they believe she can behave appropriately. If there is a genuine risk that she will cause a scene, we say leave her off the guest list.

Dear Annie: You told “Frustrated” to call those people who had not RSVP’d and ask whether they plan to attend her daughter’s graduation party. As much as I love traditional invites, sadly, tradition is heeding way to technology. Instead of calling, she should turn to her social media accounts to initiate invitations.

I have used Facebook for three events in the past year. I received more RSVPs than I ever would have gotten with mailed paper invitations. That said, however, most people did not show up and never bothered to respond. It resulted in wasted food and guests taking home extra favor bags. However, this was my fault. I easily could have posted a message asking for a head count before making final arrangements.

-- Everything Online Now Dear Everything: Your fault? No, dear. The fault lies with those who are too inconsiderate to tell you whether they plan to attend an event that you have been kind enough to invite them to. It doesn’t matter whether the invitations are mailed or sent electronically. (And many people do not have Facebook accounts. Really.)

Farm to Table dinner to be served in a meadow with a view overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee GILFORD — Beans and Greens Farm of Gilford will once again host a Farm to Table event featuring foods grown right on the farm and prepared by Chef Kevin Halligan of The Local Eatery in Laconia. This dinner will take place on Wednesday evening, July 24, in a meadow with views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the mountains.

Guests will park in a designated area on Gunstock Hill Road by 6 p.m. for a hayride to the field where they will be greeted by a musician playing bagpipes.

Other musicians will provide quiet background music during the meal.

Appetizers starting off the event will include grilled jumbo scallops, pork belly, a gazpacho shooter, watermelon ceviche, cashew chicken, veal meatballs, beef tartar and more.

Guests, seated at a long table, set with china, crystal and linens, will be treated to main course choices featuring a whole roasted maple pineapple pig; roasted steamship round with chimichurri sauce, barbecued chicken or a vegetarian selection. A large selection of fresh vegetable accompaniments will round out the dinner which will be topped off by a dessert bar.

Pasha Marlowe, owner of Holland Hill Studio, and John Moulton, owner of Moulton Farm. (Courtesy photo)

“No one will go away hungry, that’s for sure”, states Andy Howe, one of the farm’s owners.

In keeping with the local theme, the coffee will be provided by the Lakes Region’s own Woodshed Roasting Company. Other New Hampshire businesses, including Woodstock Brewery and Hermit Woods Winery will be on hand to offer samplings of their products during the appetizer portion of the evening.

“Kevin’s business model shares our passion for locally grown foods, so we wanted to continue that through to the beverages we serve as well,” explains Martina Howe.

The dinner itself is BYOB as it does not include alcohol. Coffee is included with dessert.

Those who wish to stay late will enjoy a bonfire in the meadow.

Seating is limited to 100 guests. Tickets are $100 and must be purchased by July 21 at either Beans and Greens Farm in Gilford or the Local Eatery in the old train station in downtown Laconia. For more information, including the full menu, go to www. beansandgreensfarm.com and click on the Blog link.
