Man serving life sentence in Mass. charged with 1991 stabbing death of Plymouth State associate registrar

By Holy RameR ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONCORD (AP) — A Massachusetts inmate has been charged with the stabbing death of a New Hampshire woman 21 years ago, and a defense lawyer believes his client — already serving time for two murders — implicated himself.

Craig Conkey, 46, is accused of killing

Theresa Reed, a 30-year-old associate registrar at Plymouth State University, in September 1991. The case was re-opened last year by the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit and presented Friday to a grand jury, which indicted Conkey on two charges: first-degree murder alleging that he killed Reed during a burglary, and an alternate charge of reckless second-degree murder.

Boston attorney Bernard Grossberg said Tuesday he has a client named Craig Conkey who is serving two life sentences for killing women in Lexington, Mass., and that his client contacted New Hampshire authorities last year about his involvement in “a very old homicide” in New Hampshire.

But he said no one notified him that his see Reed page 11

Friends comfort each other over loss of Anthony White

By micHael KitcH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — In a letter to the Belknap County Commission, the City Council this week added its voice to those who have already expressed misgivings about the process of planning for a new correctional facility.

The council acted in response to a report

by Ricci Greene Associates that recommended constructing a county corrections facility at an estimated cost of $42.5 million as well as incrementally increasing personnel, which would raise the annual payroll from $1.6 million to $4.2 million.

After Mayor Mike Seymour and several councilors recently visited the county jail, the council acknowledged “the need for improvements.” Likewise, they said that they realized that the estimates for a new facility were just that and understood the commission believed the cost could be significantly reduced.

Nevertheless, the council urged the commission “to take a see JaIL page 11

As many as a hundred friends of Anthony White gathered on Mechanic Street in Laconia at 6 p.m. on Tuesday evening to remember the 27-year-old who died late Saturday night after the bicycle he was riding crashed at the intersection of Harrison Street. Apparently, White was headed south, down the steep hill the ends at Sanborn Park, when he lost control. He has flown to Maine Medical Center in Portland for treatment of severe head injuries but died before dawn. A makeshift memorial has been established at the site of his accident.

Royals show off England’s new heir

LONDON (AP) — Prince William and his wife Kate presented their newborn son to the world for the first time Tuesday, drawing whoops and wild applause from well-wishers as they revealed the new face of the British monarchy — though not, yet, his name.

“We’re still working on a name. So we’ll have that as soon as we can,” William told scores of reporters gathered outside St. Mary’s Hospital as he cradled the child.

The young family’s debut public appearance was the moment the world’s media had been waiting for, but the royal couple showed no sign of stress in the face of dozens of flashing cameras. Instead the couple, both 31, laughed and joked with reporters as they took turns holding their baby son, who appeared to doze through it all.

“He’s got her looks, thankfully,” William said, referring to his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, as the newborn prince squirmed in his arms and poked a tiny hand out of his swaddling blanket, almost like a little royal wave.

“He’s got a good pair see HEIR page 8

N.H. becomes 19th state to allow legal pot use by Rx CONCORD (AP) — Fulfilling a campaign promise, Gov. Maggie Hassan signed a law Tuesday making New Hampshire the 19th state to allow seriously ill residents to use marijuana to treat their illnesses.

“Allowing doctors to provide relief to patients through the use of appropriately regulated and dispensed medical marijuana is the compassionate and right policy for the state of New Hampshire, and this legislation ensures that we approach this policy in the right way with measures

to prevent abuse,” Hassan said in a statement.

The law allows patients with cancer and other conditions to possess up to 2 ounces of marijuana obtained from nonprofit dispensaries. To qualify for medical marijuana, New Hampshire residents would have to have been a patient of the prescribing doctor for at least 90 days, have tried other remedies and have exhibited certain symptoms.

The law took effect with Hassan’s sig-

nature but getting the program operating could take up to two years. The bill calls for a commission to be appointed as soon as possible to implement the new system.

Patients must be issued special identification cards to obtain the drug from dispensaries and possess it.

“This legislation is long overdue and comes as a relief to the many seriously ill patients throughout New Hampshire who will benefit from safe access to medisee POT RX page 12

‘Rifleman’ asserts Bulger had 16-year-old girlfriend he took to Mexico

BOSTON (AP) — James “Whitey” Bulger’s former partner in crime spent hours Tuesday combatively sticking to his story that Bulger strangled two young women — and even claimed that Bulger was a pedophile.

Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi made the accusation as Bulger’s lawyer aggressively questioned him about his admission that he had engaged in oral sex with

his girlfriend’s teenage daughter, Deborah Hussey, in the 1970s.

“You want to talk about pedophilia — right over there at that table,” Flemmi said, gesturing toward Bulger, seated at the defense table. Earlier Tuesday, Flemmi had said that Bulger had a 16-year-old girlfriend he took to Mexico on vacation with him.

Bulger, who exchanged obscenities with Flemmi shortly after he began testifying

last week, glanced over at Flemmi when he made the remark, but the defendant did not have any visible reaction.

Bulger’s lawyer, Hank Brennan, pressed Flemmi on his assertion that Bulger strangled Hussey in 1985 because she was using drugs, getting arrested and dropping their names when she got in trouble.

Brennan suggested that Flemmi, not see BULGER page 11

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Food and Drug Administration review concludes that menthol cigarettes likely pose a greater public health risk than regular cigarettes but does not make a recommendation on whether to limit or ban the minty smokes — one of the few growth sectors of the shrinking cigarette business.

The federal agency released the independent review on Tuesday and is seeking input from the health community, the tobacco industry and others on possible restrictions on the mint-flavored cigarettes.

The FDA evaluation concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that menthol cigarettes are more or less toxic or

contribute to more disease risk to smokers than regular cigarettes. However, there is adequate data to suggest that menthol use is likely associated with increased smoking initiation by younger people and that menthol smokers have a harder time quitting, the review said. see MENTHOL page 11

Voters look past the politician if they like the politics Much has been written about adulterous politicians and the public’s apparent willingness to look past their infidelity. This lumps very different kinds of cheating into one neat sin, equally applicable to all sneaks.

But just as “theft” covers everything from armed bank robbery to lifting a bag of chips, cheating on one’s spouse may entail a wide range of misdeeds and gray areas.

Following are five shades of gray, a kind of scoring system for judging the political import of a politician’s extramarital affairs: 1. How they affect job performance. Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and Louisiana Sen. David Vitter were both caught visiting prostitutes. These transactions were fast and out of the office. They had minimal effect on the men’s ability to do their work.

That was not the case with former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who despite being his state’s chief executive, disappeared for days to conduct a tryst in Argentina.

For the record, Democrat Spitzer is polling well in his quest to become New York City’s comptroller, and Republican Vitter won another term. Sanford, meanwhile, was recently elected to Congress.

2. The cruelty factor. When straying husbands and wives are found out, they can often patch things up. But when “love” enters the affair, things get more painful for the spouse left out. This is no longer a case of a partner needing to meet an animal physical need. Something deeper is going on in the extramarital relationship and less so in the marriage. In terms of humiliation for a wife, Sanford’s press conference declaring love for his mistress beats the band.

3. How weird the behavior is.

New York Democrat Anthony Weiner had to leave Congress after he was found to have tweeted photos of his crotch to various and assorted women he didn’t know. He didn’t really commit adultery in the common carnal sense of the word.

For strange, exhibitionist, narcissistic, easy-to-get-caught antics, however, Weiner set a high bar.

He’s also doing well in his race for New York City mayor. President Bill Clinton’s oral sex in the Oval Office was another example of nutty risktaking. He’s now as popular as ever.

4. Hypocrisy. He who talks a socially conservative talk should walk a morally conservative walk. Should we finally give up on this, sinning Bible Belt politicians being so legion?

While campaigning, Sanford invoked “the God of second chances” and told family-values voters of plans to tie the knot with his Argentine lady. As of this writing, he remains a single man.

The hypocrisy is not limited to the politicians but includes electorates that say these things are very important to them. For many of Sanford’s voters, a Republican affiliation may have trumped their strong belief in the sanctity of marriage. That’s fine. Let’s just say so.

5. The wife’s response. Jenny Sanford divorced the guy. Wendy Vitter stood in silent agony during her husband’s confessional press conference. Silda Spitzer is neither divorcing Eliot nor willing to campaign for him. All conventional reactions.

Things get more complicated for political wives who don’t care what the old man is doing. For appearances, they should pretend they do. After Colorado Sen. Gary Hart, a Democratic candidate for president in 1987, was photographed frolicking with another woman, his wife compounded the mess by saying she didn’t care. The Harts might have done better had they shown discomfort and vowed to work on the marriage.

Clearly, sexual hanky-panky, whatever shade of gray, no longer automatically kills a politician’s chances. And while the nature of the betrayal does say things about the person’s judgment and character, in the end, the voters are hiring the man, not marrying him.

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

Convention has never said nothing should be done about jail To The Daily Sun, A few recent letters to the editor make the mistake of ascribing the jail impasse as the responsibility of the Belknap Convention. Unfortunately, when the prior convention voted by a narrow margin to fund the hiring of consultants by the commissioners, it was never envisioned that the price tag would double the early estimates or that staffing costs would more than double.

The convention has never said that nothing should be done and worthwhile recommendations have been made by delegates Tilton and Greemore. The commissioners have been forced to reconsider the Bennett report since it contains mathemati-

cal assumptions which are unlikely and result in the current unaffordable design.

Having failed to stuff this monstrous project down the throats of our towns, the commissioners will have the luxury of spending more time and money to arrive at a different proposal. Let us hope that in this instance they are open to input from the delegates and from the public.

That so much time and money have been wasted is the result of commissioners blind to everything but their own narrow vision.

LETTERS Had to laugh at Philpot taking credit for record at nursing home To The Daily Sun, After reading Belknap County Commissioner Philpot’s statements about the Republican members of the County Delegation, I have to assume he was suffering from a brain freeze.

To accuse these members of being “bad people doing bad things” is ridiculous and insulting. The GOP members of the delegation are looking out for the taxpayers — the people who pay the bills. I thought that’s what they were elected to do. I realize the commissioners want to build a monument to their service but what I don’t understand is how that makes them “good people”. I think the problem is the commissioners can’t handle the fact that someone is finally looking over their shoulder.

They, for too long, have considered the county and the complex their little own fiefdom, which led them to believe they were untouchable.

I had to laugh at Philpot taking credit for the “unblemished rating of the nursing facility.” I have to ask, Ed, how many bedpans have you emptied? How many bandages have you changed? How many floors have you washed? How much laundry have you done? How many meals have you prepared? How many MDS’s have you ever done? How many care plan meet-

ings have you attended? How many hours have you volunteered in the activities department? The nurses, the aides, the maintenance dept., the laundry workers etc. are responsible for that “unblemished record”, not you and the other commissioners. For too long the upper echelon of the county have been patting themselves on the back for the conditions at the facility and giving no credit to the people who work in the trenches.

Some other questions for Mr. Philpot: How much did the new offices for the commissioners cost when remodeled a couple of years ago and how did that project improve conditions for the nursing home residents and the occupants of the jail? How much did the granite sign at he road cost and how did that help these people?

My last question is, did Ms. Deb Shacket have the required scholastic degree when you hired her to be the county administrator and if she didn’t does she have one now and who paid for it?

Mr. Philpot, please submit the answers to these questions to The Laconia Sun, the same venue you used to demean the county delegation.

Dave Schwotzer Meredith

Philpot used to give impression of a well-informed public servant To The Daily Sun, It is difficult to determine which of the recent statements made by Belknap County Commissioner Edward Philpot is the more disturbing and offensive, his diatribe about the “bad people” in county government who hold political views different to his, or Philpot’s declination to retract, or at least moderate, his earlier remarks upon reflection. Instead, Philpot chose to reinforce his attack upon fellow officials with a whiny list of grievances e-mailed to the Republican county chairman.

As noted by other letter writers, reasonable minds can disagree about disbursement of county revenues, the efficacy of new jail construction, and the like. But Philpot appears to equate disagreement with his views on these matters with a character flaw. Officials who disagree with Phil-

pot are not merely ill-informed or mistaken. They are malevolent, and in need of public condemnation and swift removal from office. While such a mindset might befit a speechwriter for Stalin, its expression is unseemly here in New Hampshire, where the positions deplored by Philpot presumably represent the views of the thousands of county residents who elected these “bad people” to office.

Up until a week ago, Edward Philpot gave the impression of a thoughtful, well-informed public servant. But the insulting and antagonistic nature of his recent outbursts makes it unlikely that Philpot can play a constructive role in resolving the many problems currently confronting the county delegation.

Given that, his resignation from office is probably in the public interest.

LETTERS Regional planning officials should answer questions in public To The Daily Sun, Are you aware of the massive planning initiative called the Granite State Future? It’s currently being developed by the Lakes Region Planning Commission and the other eight regional planning commissions in New Hampshire. The plan will have far-reaching impacts about how you will be able to use your land, who will live in your neighborhood, who can drive where, what you can do with the water on your land, etc.

My guess is you probably have questions about all these things. Based on a letter I received on Thursday, July 18 from Mr. Kimon Koulet and Mr. Jerry Coogan, unelected employees of the Lakes Region Planning Commission, it’s far easier to push a boulder up the Mt. Washington Auto Road than it is to get an answer from the Lakes Region Planning Commission in a public forum about this giant state-wide planning project.

In fact, if you want recorded answers to your questions, there’s only one guaranteed method. You have to submit your question in writing to them.

If you attend a public meeting about Granite State Future, Mr. Coogan said in his letter to me, “ ...the public has no guaranteed right to speak at a public meeting....”

How does that sit with you? I know what you’re thinking, that you have First Amendment rights to freedom of speech. Apparently those rights don’t exist in a public meeting hosted by the Lakes Region Planning Commission.

Are you shocked that you can’t ask questions of your public servants at

public meetings about issues that affect your land and your life? I know I was stunned.

If you attend a public hearing, a hearing is different than a meeting, about Granite State Future and have a question about any aspect of the plan, the unelected members of the Lakes Region Planning Commission are not required to answer it.

You’re allowed to make a comment at a public hearing, but Mr. Koulet and Mr. Coogan don’t have to answer any question you may ask.

If you go to their offices to meet with them to ask questions, they forbid you to record the meeting in case you want to re-listen to what they said.

Is this the way you feel your public servants should respond to your concerns about your land and what you can do with it in the future?

Do you feel Mr. Koulet and Mr. Coogan are trying to hide something?

Why do they make it nearly impossible for the general public to hear answers to important questions?

Do you want to read the letter Mr. Koulet and Mr. Coogan sent to me? Go here to download it: http://go.timcarter.com/lrpc0717 If you’re not happy with this state of affairs, I suggest you get in touch with me. We’ll then, as a group, meet with our N.H. House Representatives and our State Senator Jeanie Forrester to see about making changes that require the planning officials to answer our questions in public and allow all meetings with unelected planning officials to be recorded.

LOBSTER POUND Route 3, Weirs Beach • 366-2255 • www.wb-lp.com

To The Daily Sun, Gilmanton residents: Unfortunately, the recent articles about the Benson incident do not tell the full picture. Although I did nothing wrong, Selectmen Currier and Lavin had a personal agenda to remove me as the chairman of the Planning Board, as they did with Nancy Girard, and were willing to ignore the law and the facts to get it done. Here’s what happened.

Benson had violated numerous conditions of his contractor yard permit and failed to remedy the problems after being given many opportunities to do so.

Despite the termination of his lease by the owners of the land on which he operated the yard and the revocation of his approval by the Planning Board, he failed to leave the premises. In September 2012, the Planning Board sent a letter to giving him a deadline. The letter warned if he did nothing his personal property would convert to the ownership of the land owners. Its intent was to alert him that he had to act to avoid the consequences.

He still did nothing. In January 2013, the land owners made arrangements to remove Benson’s property.

Shortly afterward, Benson discovered it was gone and filed a stolen property report with the Gilmanton Police. Sgt. Matt Currier, son of Selectman Currier, investigated the complaint. In the course of his investigation he spoke with the land owners who said they had relied on the board’s letter for authority. Sgt. Currier concluded that the September letter was the cause of the problem and that the Planning Board should not have stated that Benson’s property would convert to the land owners.

Both Girard and the planning administrator complained that Sgt. Currier did not behave in a professional manner in conducting his investigation. They met with the selectmen and the chief in a nonpublic session to discuss the matter. Because his son was involved, Currier recused himself, but remained to hear the discussions.

Subsequently, Girard reported to the Planning Board that she believed that the matter was resolved.

Girard’s term as a Planning Board member expired and she was not reappointed after over 20 years of service.

Some members of the Planning Board were concerned that it was connected to the Benson incident. Instead, the selectmen appointed a replacement and an alternate, both relatively new to the town. Together with an appointment last year, Lavin and Currier had three appointments to the board.

I was elected as the new chair of the Planning Board and became aware of a rumor in an e-mail addressed to a number of Gilmanton residents suggesting Girard and the Planning Board acted wrongfully. I sent two e-mails to those persons defending the board’s actions. Someone provided them to Chief Collins. Chief Collins was offended in the manner in which I described the incident and complained to the selectmen.

In late April, I was asked to attend a public meeting with the selectmen.

Chief Collins said that I had undermined the reputation of his department and Sgt. Currier in my e-mail descriptions of the investigation and

wanted the Planning Board to admit its letter to Benson was wrong. Clearly there was a dispute in Sgt. Currier’s account and Girard’s and the administrator’s accounts of their interactions. In an effort to put the matter behind us, I offered to write an apology to the extent I misstated the facts in my e-mails and explained the legal basis for the board’s letter to Benson. I also called the chief to set things right. He further complained to the selectmen by letter dated April 29 — calling for my removal as chairman.

As promised, I sent a letter to the chief on May 6 and copied the selectmen among other persons.

On May 15, the selectmen approved a letter asking me to resign. Their letter adopted the chief’s version of the facts and claim that the Planning Board had acted wrongfully and never referred to my letter which addressed all of those issues — the law and the facts were irrelevant. Currier fully participated despite his conflict of interest and his public statements that he would not have appointed me to the Planning Board. Lavin and Currier saw the controversy as a pretext to get rid of me.

On May 16, in a nonpublic session the planning board thoroughly reviewed the Benson matter and concluded nothing further needed to be done. In that discussion, the selectmen’s representative, Guarino, withheld the selectmen’s letter because he believe the matter was resolved and the letter was unnecessary.

Guarino reported back to Currier and Lavin who were furious. Guarino said he no longer believed the letter was needed and asked to be removed. He was told he could not. Currier and Lavin decided to take matters into their own hands.

The June meeting agenda of the Planning Board listed as a last item a letter from Board of Selectmen. Contrary to the normal practice, the letter was not included in the board materials that were e-mailed to the members in advance so that they can prepare for the meeting nor was it in the packet at the meeting. I asked the administrator for a copy prior to the meeting, but did not get an answer. Just before the meeting, however, Guarino called me to let me know that he would not be attending, Lavin would be filling in for him and alerted me that the letter was asking for my resignation. He said he was against it, considered the matter resolved, but that Currier and Lavin had insisted that it be brought forward.

Regular member Laurie Sanborn was also not present due to a conflict and the alternate was appointed to serve in her place. At the end of the meeting, the letter was presented. I advised the board that I would not resign. Contrary to Guarino’s statement, Lavin represented all selectmen were in favor of the letter. Lavin made a motion that I be removed and one of his appointees seconded it. I asked that it be deferred until all of the regular board members could be present. His appointees immediately objected and stated the present board had a right to vote. I explained that I would resign from the board if it was adopted because I didn’t want to be associated with a board that acted in this manner. It became clear that all of see next page

Based on their comments, it is clear that neither Mr. Glassman nor Ms. Ball have attended any of the Belknap Convention meetings. I have attended a number of the convention meetings this year. If Mr. Glassman was “appalled” by the “bad people” comment made by Commissioner Philpot then he should have been beyond appalled by the comments directed at the commissioners and county employees by Rep. Worsman and other GOP members of the delegation at the convention meetings. She and others have been openly arrogant, condescending and outright unprofessional to the commissioners and the county employees who have been present. Even if he did not attend the convention meetings, many of their comments were reported on.

Mr. Glassman refers to the strained nature between the commissioners and the Republican delegation and expresses concern for Commissioner Philpot’s understanding of human nature. If Mr. Glassman himself understands human nature and had witnessed the tone, demeanor and accusatory comments that the commissioners received from Rep. Worsman and others then he should not be surprised that Commissioner Philpot feels the way he does regarding some of the GOP Delegation members. I left some meetings wondering how the commissioners sat there and took the very rude open and under the breath comments directed at them. I wonder where Mr. Glassman’s condemnation was when abusive remarks were directed towards the three Commissioners, of which two are Republicans, and county staff.

Ms. Ball feels that Commissioner Philpot went too far by “smearing the

good names of people who have been tasked with working towards a balanced budget for the county.” Well the commissioners are also elected and have the same responsibility. They, and some county employees, have been consistently smeared in on-going displays of arrogance by Rep. Worsman, Rep. Tilton and other GOP members of the delegation. Based on her response to Commissioner Philpot’s comments, if Ms. Ball had heard all the rhetoric at the meetings, she would have considered Rep. Worsman and others as having gone too far months ago.

I agree with Mr. Glassman, as do most residents of Belknap County who are following the convention, in wanting to see the entire convention able to work together on matters critical to the county. While I have only lived in the area for 14 years, I cannot recall other Belknap Conventions being this contentious. Friday’s article noted that comments from Sen. Hosmer and Rep. Shurtleff referenced more bipartisan cooperation in Concord as well as some civility being returned to the Statehouse. Commissioner Philpot referred to the radical faction of the GOP Delegation as having a negative impact here in Belknap County. The GOP members of the Belknap Delegation include self avowed Free Staters, libertarians and Tea Party members so there is a faction that is considered radical by many, including many Republicans. The residents of Belknap County deserve to have a delegation that puts the residents and county first rather their individual ideologies.

Commissioner Philpot should not be held to a different standard then other convention members. If Mr. Glassman or Ms. Ball never called for apologies from Rep. Worsman or other GOP Delegation members for statements they have made to and about the commissioners and county employees then they are certainly off base calling for one from Commissioner Philpot.

Ed Philpot just made Kate Miller’s spin doctor job a lot harder To The Daily Sun, Kate Miller tries her best to put a decent countenance on the ill-received remarks of Belknap Commissioner Philpot (LDS 7/23) but could not explain how vilifying those with whom you disagree is “everyone just doing their job”. Her Republican counterpart, Alan Glassman, would never countenance the cheaply partisan from preceding page the Lavin’s appointees were in favor.

In fact, one said his approval was because the selectmen wanted it. The other long standing members of the board were opposed. I then resigned.

It is clear that some or all of Lavin’s appointees knew about the letter in advance and were prepared to act. The other board members were in the dark.

Sanborn said if she had known about the letter she would have attended and voted against it. She resigned in protest.

Guarino has said he was not in favor. So the motion would have failed had the regular members been in attendance.

Ironically it would have also failed at

remarks made by Philpot.

What really made Kate’s job impossible was Philpot continuing his diatribe in the same edition. As an Alton reader noted, he should just resign and let someone with a different and less poisonous vision take his place.

Rep. Dick Burchell Belknap 5 Gilmanton the earlier May meeting if Guarino had presented the letter. Lavin stated publicly at the next selectmen’s meeting that his job was to remove me and he got it done. He said that the letter wasn’t distributed because he didn’t want my friends to attend the meeting.

The Planning Board is intended to be an independent, nonpolitical board which administers the town’s planning laws and regulations. Currier and Lavin saw the Benson incident as an opportunity to remove me and used the chief and their appointees to carry out their plan. What’s next?

You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel LUCKY?’

Lucky Sanborn, 9 Months

permit, he said he was burning wood and he would get a permit. The office said it appeared to him that Swett was burning books and papers, and Swett replied he was burning wood biproducts.

Swett allegedly kept repeatedly telling Officer Kevin Shortt to “get the (explicative) off his property” while Shortt was trying to determine what Swett’s problem was.

At one point, said affidavits, Swett turned the hose on the fire, reminded Shortt it was raining, and announced the fire was out. He repeatedly told him to get off his property.

Swett reportedly went inside and Shortt walked to the front door to speak with him. At that point Shortt’s affidavit said Swett was initially rude but when he realized Shortt wasn’t going away, he “took a breath and stated he was sorry for his behavior but he was very upset with his wife.”

When Shortt asked why, Swett alleged that “she stole all the money.”

Affidavits said he told Shortt, who by this time was joined by two other officers including a sergeant, to go look in the pit for himself if he wanted to know what was burning.

It was, said police, when they went to use the garden hose to put out the fire that Swett allegedly lost his temper and became physically abusive to them.

A man who said he witnessed the altercation called The Daily Sun on Tuesday and said the police were aggressive and one of them over-reacted when Swett called him an “old fart.”

“These cops just came looking for a fight,” said the witness, adding one of the officers “lost control.”

Swett’s attorney Allison Schwartz acknowledged that her client had a few misdemeanors in his past but said he was no flight risk, was a contractor with an ongoing and substantial project, and would agreed to any bail terms ordered by Judge Carroll. She said he is a member of a local church.

She said Swett contributes to society by working as a private building contractor and if he were held on cash bail that he couldn’t post, would likely loose his current building contract that would trigger a cascade of financial events that could cost him and his estranged wife their home.

She also said he supports his two young adult children — one of whom lives in the home and one who is in college.

Swett has posted the first $500 of his bail and is free tonight.

HEIR from page 2 of lungs on him, that’s for sure,” William added with a grin. “He’s a big boy.

He’s quite heavy.”

The infant is third in line to become monarch one day, after his grandfather, Prince Charles, and William.

But for now, the media and the public were focused on getting all the details of new parenthood they could from the couple: How they feel, what the baby looks like, and even who changed the diapers.

Kate, wearing a simple baby blue dress, said William had already had a go at changing the first one.

“He’s very good at it,” she said.

Asked how she felt, she said: “It’s very emotional. It’s such a special time. I think any parent will know what this feeling feels like.”

And William poked fun at his own lack of hair when he responded with a wink to a reporter’s question about the baby’s locks: “He’s got way more see next page

Misdemeanor & Felony Representation

LACONIA — After contemplating for nearly 10 minutes in total silence, yesterday Judge Jim Carroll of the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division ordered a local man accused of burning his wife’s belongings Monday afternoon and then assaulting two police officers who came to put the fire out to leave the home until his case can be adjudicated on August 20.

He also ordered John W. Swett, 53, of 53 Gale Avenue to post $1,500 cash bail — $500 to get out of jail immediately and $500 each week for two weeks. Swett is also ordered to surrender any firearms within his control and to report weekly to court until his trial. He must also get professional or pastoral counseling.

Swett is accused of two counts of simple assault (on police officers), criminal mischief (for allegedly burning his wife’s belonging), obstructing a government official (for turning off a garden hose being used by a police sergeant to douse the fire), one count of disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest (for allegedly slipping a handcuff and getting into a roll-on-the-ground fight with the arresting officer.)

According to affidavits police filed with the court, Swett’s estranged wife had been living away from the home for about six weeks. Prosecutor Jim Sawyer, who was arguing for $15,000 cash-only bail, said she left because she was afraid of him, however to date no paperwork has been submitted to the court regarding domestic violence.

Swett’s wife was in court yesterday taking hand-written notes.

According to Sawyer, Swett was convicted of simple assault in 2010 and his wife was the victim. Yesterday Judge Carroll ordered Swett not to contact his wife by any means.

Sawyer also said Swett had substance abuse issues, however the affidavits make no mention of alcohol or drugs during the encounter with police.

Affidavits indicate Swett had allegedly spoken to his wife on the telephone and told her he was going to burn her things. The triggering event, said Sawyer, was her taking money from a bank account.

Sawyer said yesterday when the first police officer arrived, just before 4 p.m. Monday, he found a fire about 4-feet high in a fire pit and what appeared to be woman’s shoes and boxes of paperwork nearby.

When the officer asked him what he was burning and if he had a fire

Still waiting on City Council’s plate is proposal to spend $1.3M on additional downtown improvements

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — While the City Council this week approved the recommendation of the Advisory Board of the Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District to fund improvements at the Main Street bridge over the Winnipesaukee River, it deferred a decision on six other projects proposed by the board.

City Manager Scott Myers said yesterday that he expected the council to address those recommendations by September.

After the so-called “Gateway Plaza” at the bridge, the Advisory Committee, recommended constructing the ramp to carry the riverwalk past the Landmark Inn for $181,000, completing the section of the riverwalk behind Walgreen’s for $121,800, building a pocket park at the junction of Water Street and Pleasant Street for $290,000, extending the riverwalk from City Hall to Church Street for $300,000, beginning phase 2 of the WOW Trail between Main Street and Fair Street for $400,000 and erecting a kiosk with signage to the WOW Trail and riverwalk near the library for $25,000. Altogether these projects are estimated to cost $1,317,800.

The effect of these projects would be to complete the stretch of riverwalk along the north bank of the Winnipesaukee River from the Fair Street Bridge to the Church Street Bridge, except for the crossing of Beacon Street West. Planning Director Shanna Saunders said that the connection would be made when Chinburg Builders completes the commercial development planned at the Beacon Street West

Condominiums. Ultimately a second stretch of riverwalk is planned to extend along the southern bank of the river and join the first at the two bridges to form a continuous loop.

The Advisory Board proposes to fund these projects with a borrowing serviced by the revenue from the TIF District, which consisted of 287 properties spread over 145.5 acres with an aggregate assessed value of $70.3-million when the district was established in 2004. Tax increment financing consists of delineating TIF districts, then applying half of the future property tax revenues that accrue from the increase in assessed value generated by new construction, expansion or renovation of property in the district to service borrowings used to fund public improvements within it. The downtown TIF account has a current balance of $311,353.

Myers projected the balance to increase by $173,687 in fiscal year 2014 and to grow by 1.5-percent each year thereafter, which he described as a conservative estimate. Over the course of 20 years the TIF district would generate $4,016,280 enough to service a borrowing of $1.5-million at 4.249-percent and leave a balance of $1,922,828 in the TIF account. Alternatively, a borrowing of $2-million for the same term at the same rate would leave a balance of $1,226,115.

Myers said that since the TIF district generates the revenue to defray the principal and interest payments on the borrowing, the debt would have no impact on the amount to be raised by property taxes, which is limited by the tax cap.

State sold record $603M worth of liquor over 12 months CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Liquor Commission says it’s reached record sales for fiscal year 2013 of $603.5 million.

That’s an increase of $39.8 million, or 6.9 percent over the previous fiscal year.

Commission Chairman Joseph Mollica says relocation and renovation of 13 outlets, promotional campaigns, aggressive sales efforts and enhanced customer service practices have contributed to the record.

from preceding page than me, thank God.” It was a much more relaxed scene than the one when Princess Diana and Prince Charles carried their newborn son, William, out to pose for photographs on the same hospital steps in 1982.

Charles, wearing a dark suit, tie and boutonniere, spoke awkwardly to reporters. By contrast, William, dressed in jeans and a blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up, joked with the assembled media and addressed some by name. At his side, Kate waved and smiled broadly, the blue sapphire engagement ring that had been Diana’s on her finger.

The photographs snapped Tuesday are likely to be

reprinted for decades as the baby grows into adulthood and his role as a future king, and onlookers were elated to witness the historic moment.

“William gave us a wave as they drove away, so it was perfect. Days like this really bring the country together,” said Katie Allan, 26, from Bristol, England.

The couple re-entered the hospital to place the child in a car seat before re-emerging to get into a black Range Rover. With William at the wheel, they drove away. Palace officials said they will head to an apartment in Kensington Palace and spend the night there.

The birth marks a new chapter for William and Kate, who had enjoyed a quiet life away from the public eye in Anglesey, Wales, since their wedding in April 2011.

GALE from page one town officials about the old school, Superintendent Maria Dreyer said she has no idea what the citizen’s group is going to propose but she wanted the board to know of its existence.

“This is the last hurrah,” said Knowlton, who said the three of them have an idea but are unwilling to share it with anyone until they have completed the logistics.

The Gale School belongs to the school district and for years the district and townspeople have wrestled over what to do with it. The building sits up on a shoulder of Bryant Field, behind the Belmont Middle School. Knowlton said it has not been used as a school since the late 1950s or early 1960s.

At the most recent selectmen meeting on July 15 and as part of the town’s overall study of every town-

owned building, Building Inspector Steve Paquin said the Building Assessment Committee indicated it was beyond repair and likely had no historic value other than the sentimental one from the citizens of Belmont.

He said it would likely fall apart if it were to be moved in one piece and the simple logistics of where it is and its size would indicate it could be nearly impossible and very expensive to relocate.

Dreyer told the board last night that she met with the town administrator and Selectman Ron Cormier who told her the town “would support the (school) board’s stand if we wanted to raze it.”

One of her suggestions was to incorporate pieces or parts of the Gale School into the new pavilion the town is building in the village center as part of the Village Revitalization Project. She said when

10 schools in her former school district in Florida were destroyed by a hurricane, some of the clapboards from the wooden ones were incorporated in to new schools by getting local people to sponsor and inscribe them.

She told the board that if they were to try and incorporate some of the Gale School into the new pavilion, the administrative and legal process would need soon because the pavilion, which is paid in part by a federal grant, must be finished by December of 2014 and covered into a warrant article by March of 2014.

Members of the board said the latest numbers to either rehabilitate it, move it, or raze it are about 8-years-old and need to be current before they could continue their discussion.

MENTHOL from page 2 There’s also evidence indicating that menthol’s cooling properties can reduce the harshness of cigarette smoke and that menthol cigarettes are marketed as a smoother alternative, the review said.

“Menthol cigarettes raise critical public health questions,” Mitch Zeller, director of the Center for Tobacco Products, said in a conference call with reporters.

Zeller said there’s “no holdup” on the FDA proposing restrictions on menthol but that there are still “some important questions” that need to be answered. The agency is commissioning further research.

A 2011 FDA advisory panel report, which was mandated under the 2009 law giving the agency the authority to regulate tobacco, made many of the same findings, and said that removing menthol cigarettes from the market would benefit public health and highlighted greater use among minorities, teenagers and low-income people. Panels like the tobacco committee advise the FDA on scientific issues. The agency doesn’t have to follow its recommendations, but often does.

Meanwhile, a tobacco industry report to the FDA acknowledged that all cigarettes are hazardous but said there’s no scientific basis for regulating menthols differently. The industry also has raised concerns that restrictions on menthol would lead to a black market for the cigarettes.

Menthol cigarettes are one of the few growth areas in a shrinking cigarette market. The percentage of U.S. cigarette smokers using menthol brands grew from 33.9 percent in 2008 to 37.5 percent in 2011, according to a study by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, with more significant growth among younger smokers. from preceding page together,” Dreyer said.

Dreyer also said the meeting she held with town officials was to discuss better cooperation all around between the town and the school district and included plowing, the sharing of facilities with the town Department of Parks and Recreation and the plans for the reconstruction of School Street.

JAIL from page one different approach in determining what should ultimately be built” by starting with what county taxpayers can afford.

The council reminded the commission that the city budgets within the limits of property tax cap, which restricts the annual increase in the amount to be raised by property taxes, including the county tax.

Moreover, the city bears about a fifth of the county tax, the largest share among the 11 municipalities.

“In doing some very rough calculations, “ the letter read, “the Laconia City Council is very concerned that this project, along with the staffing, will eat up most if not all of the City’s allowable tax cap increase” and “for more than just one year.”

The councilors indicated their wish to maintain “an open dialog” with the commissioners about what they called “the affordability approach” and offered to meet at time.

The commissioners have insisted that estimates offered by Ricci Greene Associates are based on a conceptual plan for the facility. That plan envisions a two-story, 94,450-square-foot facility with 180 beds, plus five for inmates requiring medical care.

A third of the beds — 44 for men and 16 for women — would be reserved for inmates awaiting trial, on work release, undergoing treatment or on electronic monitoring. The remaining 120 beds — 88 for men and 32 for women — would be allotted to maximum, medium, and minimum security inmates as well as those with special needs. The major feature of the project is the community corrections component, an array of therapeutic services, educational programs and vocational training to prepare inmates for a successful return to the community. Rici Greene projected that operating the facility would require 49 full-time employees, 21 more than are currently on the payroll.

The commissioners have insisted that by designing and engineering the project, significant reductions in cost can be identified and achieved.

BULGER from page 2 Bulger, killed Hussey after she told her mother he had molested her.

Brennan also pointed out inconsistencies in Flemmi’s testimony about both Hussey’s killing and the murder of Debra Davis, another Flemmi girlfriend.

Both Hussey and Davis were 26 when they were killed.

Bulger has strongly denied killing the women.

Flemmi testified that Bulger strangled both women with his hands, but Brennan pointed out that he had testified during earlier civil and criminal trials that Bulger used a rope.

Flemmi insisted that the inconsistencies were due

to “inadvertent mistakes” he made during his testimony and that he was telling the truth about Bulger killing the two women.

Tuesday was Flemmi’s fourth day testifying at Bulger’s racketeering trial. Bulger, 83, is accused of participating in 19 killings during the 1970s and ‘80s while leading the notorious Winter Hill Gang.

He fled Boston in 1994 and was one of the nation’s most-wanted fugitives until he was captured in California two years ago.

Flemmi, 79, has pleaded guilty to 10 murders and is serving a life sentence. He was due back on the witness stand Wednesday.

REED from page one client has been charged in New Hampshire.

“My recollection is that he brought his involvement to their attention, and at first they didn’t know what he was talking about, and they had to go back and open up this old case,” Grossberg said.

Grossberg’s client already was serving a life sentence in Massachusetts for a 1994 murder of a Lexington woman when he pleaded guilty last year to the 1992 killing of another woman from the town.

In the 1992 case, investigators believe Conkey broke into the apartment of 31-year-old Kathleen Dempsey while she slept and attacked her. Dempsey called for help, but a fire dispatcher dismissed her call as a prank. Five hours later, a co-worker listened to a tape of the call and sent emergency crews to Dempsey’s home, but she had died by the time they arrived.

Conkey was first sentenced to life in prison in 2009 after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and armed robbery in the death of 49-year-old Mary

Lou Sale in 1994. His plea came after he was convicted twice of first-degree murder, but the convictions were overturned by the state Supreme Court.

In Plymouth, police initially said Reed’s death was not a random act, according to news accounts at the time. But the stabbing scared students and prompted increased security at what was then Plymouth State College. In the weeks after the killing, extra officers were on patrol, dormitories were locked around the clock and students traveled together in large groups.

Local merchants reported increased sales of guns, bullets, Mace and door locks.

Reed, who was from Rumney, graduated from Plymouth State in 1983 and immediately began working for the school. She lived alone in a building with three apartments near campus. Friends described her as a private but friendly woman who went out of her way to help others.

“This brings the family another step toward closure,” university spokesman Kershner said Tuesday.

Pedroia close to $100M deal

BOSTON (AP) — All-Star second baseman Dustin Pedroia is close to a contract that could keep him with the Boston Red Sox for his entire big league career.

A person with knowledge of the talks said Tuesday that Pedroia is in the process of agreeing to a deal adding $100 million over seven seasons through 2021.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement was not yet complete. The new deal was first reported by WEEI. Pedroia is making $10 million this year and is guaranteed the same amount in 2014 as part of a $40.5 million, six-year contract that started in 2009.

That deal includes an $11 million club option for 2015 with a $500,000 buyout.

POT RX from page 2 marijuana,” said Matt Simon, a New Hampshirebased legislative analyst for the Marijuana Policy Project. “Those suffering from debilitating conditions like cancer and multiple sclerosis deserve legal, safe, and reliable access to medical marijuana.”

Under the new law, up to four dispensaries can be licensed and have a maximum of 80 marijuana plants, 160 seedlings and 80 ounces of marijuana or 6 ounces per qualifying patient. They also would have a limit of three mature cannabis plants, 12 seedlings and 6 ounces for each patient who designates the dispensary as a treatment center.

The compromise bill passed last month eliminated an option for patients to also grow marijuana at home.

Home-grow option supporters had argued some patients need legal access to the drug more quickly and waiting for dispensaries to start operating put them through needless suffering, but Hassan said she wouldn’t sign the bill if it included those provisions.

“By providing strong regulatory oversight and clear dispensing guidelines, this bill addresses many of the concerns that were expressed throughout the legislative process. (The bill) legalizes the use of medical marijuana in a way that makes sense for the state of New Hampshire and gives health providers another option to help New Hampshire’s seriously ill patients,” the governor said.

Maryland also passed a law this year that allows academic medical research centers to establish programs to dispense marijuana to sick patients. The law takes effect in the fall. A medical marijuana bill also is awaiting action by the Illinois governor. The District of Columbia also allows the drug’s use for medical purposes.

Recycling tonnage has increased by almost 50% LACONIA — City Manager Scott Myers told the City Council this week that the tonnage of recyclable materials collected at the curbside has risen 48-percent since the introduction of mandatory recycling on July 1.

During the last four collection cycles, which included Motorcycle Week and the Fourth of July, the total volume of solid waste — both trash and recyclables — collected over two weeks has remained relatively constant between 209.52 tons and 211.21 tons. But, the tonnage of recyclables collected at the curbside has risen from 34.29 tons and 36.05 tons before July 1 to 43.18 tons and 50.68 tons since July 1.

As a result of removing more recyclables from the waste stream, the cost of disposing of the remaining

trash at $150 per ton has fallen from $26,466 and $26,020 in the two cycles before July 1 to $25,179 and $24,079 in the two cycles since July 1.

“Our residents have done a good job,” Myers said.

“I think people are getting it.” Noting that “it’s still early,” he said that “these are good results, but we still need to get the numbers up.” Myers said he had only “a couple of phone calls” from residents with complaints and, in making the rounds of the city, found few households and businesses out of compliance with the requirements to separate trash and recyclables, place trash in firm containers and limit the volume of trash.

Red Sox still in 1st as Lester stellar in 6-2 win over Rays BOSTON (AP) — Jon Lester matched his season high with eight strikeouts and overcame homers by Wil Myers and Evan Longoria as the Boston Red Sox remained in first place with a 6-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.

The Red Sox moved 1½ games ahead of the Rays in the AL East and stayed atop the division for the 58th consecutive day.

The loss ended the Rays’ six-game winning streak and was just their third in 21 games, a surge that began when they were in fourth place, trailing the Red Sox by seven games.

Boston is 3-4 since its four-game winning streak.

Lester (9-6) gave up two runs and seven hits with no walks in 6 1-3 innings. He is 3-6 with a 5.97 ERA since starting the season 6-0 with a 2.72 ERA. Four Red Sox pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts.

Roberto Hernandez (5-11) allowed three runs in five innings and tied R.A. Dickey for the secondmost losses in the AL. But it was the 28th time in

Tampa Bay’s last 31 games that its starter gave up three runs or fewer.

Boston led 3-2, then scored three runs in the eighth on an RBI single by Stephen Drew and a tworun single by Jose Iglesias.

Myers’ fifth homer of the season on the first pitch of the second inning gave the Rays a 1-0 lead. The Red Sox tied it in the bottom half on a run-scoring single by Mike Carp.

They went ahead 2-1 in the third on a double steal. Shane Victorino led off with a double and went to third on a flyout by Daniel Nava. Dustin Pedroia was hit by a pitch, then stole second as catcher Jose Molina threw down and Victorino scored.

The Red Sox had left runners at third base in three straight innings before Pedroia gave them a 3-1 lead with a sacrifice fly in the fifth.

The Rays got another leadoff homer off Lester in the sixth when Longoria hit his 21st on the second pitch, cutting the lead to 3-2.

NEW YORK (AP) — Anthony Weiner found himself caught in another sexting scandal Tuesday like the one that destroyed his congressional career, but stood side-to-side with his wife to say he won’t drop out of the race for mayor of New York.

“This is entirely behind me,” Weiner said at an evening news conference, hours after the gossip website The Dirty posted X-rated text messages and a crotch shot that it said the former congressman exchanged with a woman after he left office.

Weiner admitted sending a woman sexually explicit photos and messages and acknowledged the activity took place as recently as last summer, more than a year after he resigned from the House in disgrace for the same sort of behavior with at least a half-dozen women.

But with his wife, Huma Abedin, smiling shyly by his side, he said: “I want to bring my vision to the people of the city of New York. I hope they are willing to still continue to give me a second chance.”

Festival marks 12 years of celebrating cultural diversity LACONIA — The Laconia Multicultural Festival (LMF), the biggest one-day event of the year in Laconia, received a “New Hampshire Magazine’s Best of NH Multicultural Celebration for 2012” award.

Held in Rotary Riverside Park and downtown Laconia, the festival has a new date this year, Saturday, August 3.

Balla Kouyaté, one of the greatest balafon players in the world today, will bring the sounds of Afro Pop with his dancers. This virtuoso plays two balafons with astounding speed, moving effortlessly between two instruments. The balafon is a West African ancestor of the marimba and xylophone. The first balafon Sosso Bala was in possession of the great king Sumanguru Kantéin 1200s. Balla’s father is guardian of the ancient instrument which in 2001 was recognized by UNESCO as one of the 19 Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

The Laconia Historical Indian Association (L.I.H.A.) will join our vendors this year bringing their arts and crafts. The organization is committed to promoting, preserving and sharing knowledge of Native American culture and traditions.

The Iraqi artists, Saad Hindal & Al Hassan Hindal, well-known in New Hampshire for their paintings depicting their life and flight from Bagdad in 2003, return once again with their artwork. Eastern Dragon, a local group and a festival favorite, return with exciting demonstrations of karate and self- defense.

The day is filled with ethnic foods, arts, crafts, exhibits, demonstrations, activities for children, education, and, of course, with music, singing, dancing, and drumming.

Story of the U.S. Mail Boat Tonimar to be Auction at First United told at the N.H. Boat Museum on August 1 Methodist Church in Gilford on August 1 WOLFEBORO — The second in the New Hampshire Boat Museum’s summer lecture series will be held Thursday, August 1 at 7 p.m.

The program entitled “The U.S. Mail Boat Tonimar: A Route Tour and What the Shoreline is Today” will be presented by Alton Bay resident Paul Richardson. Following the lecture there will be light refreshments including iced coffee from Seven Suns Coffee and Tea in Wolfeboro. There is no charge to attend the lecture.

As a teenager in the 1950’s, Richardson worked on board the Tonimar and so has a unique perspective to share about this mail boat’s history. The Tonimar was brought to Lake Winnipesaukee in 1941

by Captain Lawrence Beck. The boat delivered mail from Alton Bay to Melvin Village and also carried passengers until 1966.

The Tonimar carried about 35,000 pieces of mail during the three months’ summer season. The boat was a floating post office. Mail going to the numerous camps, islands, and remote mainland stops was sorted into pigeonholes on board and outgoing mail from these stops was hand-cancelled aboard.

Stamps were also sold.

During Richardson’s presentation, he will show rare never-before-seen c. 1950 film footage taken from the boat as it made its way along the various stops. He will then show photos of what the stops look like today.

To learn more about the lecture visit the Museum’s website at www.nhbm.org or call the Museum at 569-4554.

Love, betrayal, hope, and tragedy will unite this broken family. Judy has been a bitter, angry person for years.

Her constant yelling has affected her children’s attitudes and pushed her husband away. But all that changes one night, when she finds herself on a deserted road being touched by God. This moment begins a transformation that will affect everyone around her.

Judy struggles at first to let go of her old ways, but as she learns to let go and allows God to guide her, she finds that life changes for the better.

She becomes calm and peaceful as she places God first and foremost at

the center of her life. Her children notice the change and how differently they are treated, and their attitudes begin to transform as well. But Judy’s husband, Rich, continues keeping his distance. When he finally reveals why, the whole family is affected, and their marriage comes to an end. Judy tries to move on, and Rich does too, but both feel guilty for their part in the downfall of the marriage.

Rich desires the peace that Judy has, but he can’t seem to escape what he has done. Meanwhile, their daughter is dealing with her own new struggles at school, where conflict abounds.

When a horrible accident occurs, everyone in the family will be put to the test. Experience the transformation with this family as they discover The Light Within and find peace in the midst of chaos.

Whose face will no longer be seen at Robert’s Cove Basin, but whose presence will always be there? And whose sudden passing on July 20th left family and friends unable and unwilling to believe it?

One need only say the family name “Roberts” and immediately there comes to mind the best of the American spirit: community service, commitment, ingenuity, humor and hard work. John Sewell Roberts included all of these qualities and then some.

He started early. He began selling acorns by the roadside when he was four. Not too many years later he was already beginning to fix all things broken and make creative use of what others considered broken and tossed out. It was his love and genius to be creative and to be a fixer of things. It continued throughout John’s life. Even his e-mail name was “Tinkerman”. Among other things he was taught from his youth were volunteerism and community service. While it would normally be appropriate to list the organizations an individual volunteered for, it would literally fill an entire page of this newspaper to list the things John so generously helped with, and that’s not to mention the constant calls from friends that began with “John, would you be free to come help us with ...” He was available to all—even when he wasn’t available. The day of his passing he had been volunteering all morning at a clean up at the East Alton Fire Station. After that he went back to work at Robert’s Cove Basin where, for four years, he steered the operations like a faithful and much loved sea captain.

Born and raised in Alton, NH, John Sewell Roberts, went through the Alton school system and then continued his studies one year at the University of New Hampshire. There he began volunteering for the fire department in Durham. That “spark” of helping in such a vital capacity grew. He devoted much of his life to the service of fire fighting. He worked several years as a full time professional fire fighter in Laconia.

He then returned to school to get a degree from New Hampshire Technical Institute which eventually led him on to ever more interesting and demanding career opportunities, all of which involved fixing what others thought couldn’t be fixed, solving problems others gave

up on, and inventing ways to do everything better. At one time, when he was working as a technician for a German company that made embroidery machines, he was sent to South America on a service call! It was one of his most demanding service calls. He made sure he did the work well. He never had to return.

His overseas travels also included once visiting a fellow Alton High School classmate, an exchange student from Norway.

But perhaps one of the most touching ways he reached out to the larger world was in 2009 when a group of Russian blacksmiths came to NH to dedicate the Russian Bench of Friendship to the Lakes Region. Working along side the Russian blacksmiths to install the bench did more than John ever realized. When his Russian friends learned of his passing, the e-mail that came back from the blacksmiths said, “We mourn with you. Not even an ocean separates us in this. We can honestly say that John’s kindness and generosity left such a mark that he became the face of America to us in Russia.” John, in fact, had a great love of blacksmithing. For several years he had been apprenticing as a blacksmith at the Musterfield Farm in Sutton, NH. Despite his astonishing work load, John was a tireless son, brother, husband, and father. His beloved wife Barbara, who works an evening shift at the Wolfeboro Bay Care and Rehabilitation Center recalled how John would bring her dinner. On special occasions it would include hot fried onion rings ... with ketchup. The bottle of ketchup he kept in the glove compartment of their truck. “Doesn’t every real man keep a bottle of ketchup in his glove compartment for his wife?” she said, smiling faintly through the tears.

John was indeed a real man, a real friend, and a blessing to this community. Like a true Roberts, his presence will not diminish but only be more and more recognized as the years go on. John leaves behind his wife, Barbara E. Roberts, his children, Christopher John Roberts, Daniel Edson Roberts, and stepson Scott Richard Moren, his parents Jean and Irving Roberts, and his brother and sister, Thomas Roberts and Barbara B. Roberts.

The family requests that any donations be sent to the Musterfield Farm, P.O. Box 118, North Sutton, NH 03260

sionate, and others want to get excited about life the way you are, so they cozy up.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are many working parts to be analyzed in a power structure. It’s not always obvious what (or more likely who) keeps the motor running.

A relatively small player could be the key.

Study and stay aware.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Native American Chief Seattle (for whom the city is named for) said, “Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.” The footprints you leave today will be followed by many.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is difficult to invoke compassion once you have already started to feel angry. So before you deal with people, think about where they are coming from and what insecurities they might have that you could be sensitive to.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 24). The machinery hums along, and you’re moderately productive until August, when things really take off. An organized teammate will help you stay on top of the fast action. Invest in September, and cash out in November.

October brings heart-soaring fun. Your physical energy is strong -- compete and win in 2014. Aries and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 40, 33, 5 and 19.

TUNDRA

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). Secrets can be powerful. They have a magnetic force all their own. If you tell the secret, though, it loses its magnetism. Today your inner world will be a mystery that sends someone into orbit around you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your idea, plus a few fans and some word of mouth, will cause something of a frenzy. Fire catches on, as long as there’s something to burn and enough oxygen to fan the flames.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). With good luck comes a warning. The better the luck the sterner the warning. It only makes sense in the balance of things. You’ve earned your benefits and will heed all warnings that help you make the most of them.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You deserve to be happy, but not at the expense of someone else’s happiness. You’ll do a dance around this concept, trying to figure out a way to please everyone, and this is the rare day when you may be able to do just that.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you are to succeed, you will need more accountability built into your plan. You’ll go farther with a good teacher, leader or coach than you will on your own. Look for someone who will invigorate you and push you to new heights.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). With humans, one plus one doesn’t always equal two. With the right one plus an equally energetic and receptive other one, the resulting sum is unlimited. Spend time with someone who truly brings out the best in you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Social horizons expand over the next three days. This is your chance to get some fresh blood running through your scene. New relationships inspire you to shine in new ways.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have a way of attracting the martyr type today -- you know, the people who say things like, “Don’t bother. I’ll just sit in the dark.” The trick is to take initiative and care for them before they can complain.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You ignite passion in another person’s heart without meaning to. It’s just that you’re so pas-

––––––– ALMANAC –––––––

WEDNESDAY PRIME TIME

Today is Wednesday, July 24, the 205th day of 2013. There are 160 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 24, 1959, during a visit to Moscow, Vice President Richard Nixon engaged in his famous “Kitchen Debate” with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.

On this date: In 1862, Martin Van Buren, the eighth president of the United States, and the first to have been born a U.S. citizen, died at age 79 in Kinderhook, N.Y., the town where he was born in 1782.

In 1866, Tennessee became the first state to be readmitted to the Union after the Civil War. In 1911, Yale University history professor Hiram Bingham III found the “Lost City of the Incas,” Machu Picchu, in Peru.

In 1937, the state of Alabama dropped charges against four of the nine young black men accused of raping two white women in the “Scottsboro Case.”

In 1952, President Harry S. Truman announced a settlement in a 53-day steel strike.

In 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts — two of whom had been the first men to set foot on the moon — splashed down safely in the Pacific.

In 1974, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Richard Nixon had to turn over subpoenaed White House tape recordings to the Watergate special prosecutor.

In 1998, a gunman burst into the U.S. Capitol, killing two police officers before being shot and captured. (The shooter, Russell Eugene Weston Jr., is being held in a federal mental facility.) The motion picture “Saving Private Ryan,” starring Tom Hanks and directed by Steven Spielberg, was released.

In 2002, nine coal miners became trapped in a flooded tunnel of the Quecreek Mine in western Pennsylvania; the story ended happily 77 hours later with the rescue of all nine.

Ten years ago: The House and Senate intelligence committees issued their final report on the attacks of September 11, 2001, citing countless blunders, oversights and miscalculations that prevented authorities from stopping the attackers.

Five years ago: Ford Motor Co. posted the worst quarterly performance in its history, losing $8.67 billion. Cheered by an enormous crowd in Berlin, Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama summoned Europeans and Americans together to “defeat terror and dry up the well of extremism that supports it” as surely as they had conquered communism a generation ago. Zvonko Busic, who’d served 32 years in a U.S. prison for hijacking a TWA jetliner and planting a bomb that killed a policeman, was paroled and returned home to Croatia.

One year ago: In his first foreign policy speech since emerging as the likely Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney called for an independent investigation into claims the White House had leaked national security information for President Barack Obama’s political gain; the White House replied that the president “has made abundantly clear that he has no tolerance for leaks.”

Actor Chad Everett died in Los Angeles at age 75.

Actor Sherman Hemsley died in El Paso, Texas, at age 74.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’m a very sad woman. I work and take care of my home and kids. My husband and I had trouble getting pregnant with the second child and after months of trying went to a fertility clinic. It was a difficult time, and I was not giving my husband all of the attention he needed.

One day, he was at my friend’s house, and a female acquaintance of hers was there. This woman was in the middle of her own divorce, and she and my husband began a conversation. She told him if he wasn’t happy, he should divorce me and be happy for himself, instead of worrying about his wife and kids. My husband filed divorce papers while I was pregnant. Now the two of them are together, and he thinks I don’t know.

What kind of woman thinks this is OK to do? I have two small kids and love my husband with all my heart. I know I have things to work on. Where is the respect for women out there? -- Broken Heart Dear Broken: While we agree that women shouldn’t go after married men (and vice versa), you are blaming the woman when it is your husband who strayed. He wanted an excuse to get out of his responsibilities, and she was simply the match that lit the flame.

Please see a lawyer immediately so you can protect yourself and your children. Then ask your husband to go with you for counseling to see whether you can reconcile. But if he is determined to get out of the marriage, the counseling will help you develop coping strategies for the future. Your children need you to be strong and capable.

Dear Annie: As a working mom, my schedule is tight. For several years, I have enjoyed a periodic lunch with a nonworking friend where we catch up on our kids’ activities and discuss books or movies.

Twice during recent lunches, her cellphone has rung, and in

mid-sentence, she has picked it up and commenced chatting with the caller. I could understand if it were an emergency call from her son’s school, but I end up sitting there staring in silence at my lunch while she cheerfully talks about a trip to the beach.

My husband thinks I should tell her that I find this disrespectful and rude, as well as insensitive to my time constraints. Instead, when she calls to set up a lunch date, I simply say that I’m too busy. I no longer think this “friendship” is worth my time. Am I wrong to cut her out of my life over this? -- Disrespected Dear Disrespected: It depends on whether she offers anything other than an absentee luncheon date. You are angry and looking to punish her. Decide whether you want the friendship to end or whether you simply want her to put down the cellphone. There is nothing wrong with asking her to make your lunch a “phone free” zone so you can concentrate on each other. If she refuses to turn off her cellphone and answers a call in mid-conversation, feel free to get up and leave, saying, “Obviously, you are busy. Perhaps I’ll see you another time.”

Dear Annie: I am responding to “Outcast Sister,” who cares for her mom. It is terrible of her sisters to complain because she is getting paid for this. No one realizes how time consuming it is to watch a loved one.

She should tell them to take a turn watching Mom, driving her to the doctor’s, and doing the laundry, housekeeping and bathing, and see how much time and effort it takes. I am one of 10 kids who took care of Mom on weekends when the caregiver needed time off. Her sisters should be grateful that she is willing to take this on instead of hiring a paid stranger.

God bless her. -- Enraged Reader

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 24, 2013— Page 23

Lee Settlement Homestead walking tour at the Castle in the Clouds MOULTONBOROUGH — The Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT) and the Castle Preservation Society (CPS) are jointly offering an educational walking tour of the historic Lee Settlement in the Ossipee Mountains, on land that is now conserved as part of LRCT’s Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area, on Wednesday, July 31.

The lead walking tour guide, John Oliver, is a descendent of the Lee family, which was the first family to settle in this area in 1790. Over the years five other families also settled here in what became known as the Lee Settlement. John Oliver will lead participants to a number of historic homestead sites and will share some of the rich history of this area and traditions of those who lived here in the 1800s.

Part of the program will include a demonstration of some of the historic tools the settlers used for their daily activities.

The approximately 3-mile easy-moderate educational walking tour on level to rolling terrain will depart promptly at 9 a.m. and return at approximately 11:30 a.m. Participants should plan to arrive by 8:45 a.m. to have time to register and prepare for the walk. This program will be limited to 30 par-

The Lee Settlement trails have recently been restored by LRCT’s dedicated stewardship volunteers and are now a part of LRCT’s official trail network at the Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area, bringing the total miles of trails to 30. The Lakes Region Conservation Trust also worked this spring to develop interpretive signs for these trails which are placed at cellarholes and historic sites along the Lee Settlement trails; the signs include historic photos taken at these locations and stories of the people who lived here long ago. The July 31 walking tour will serve as the official celebration of the opening of these trails for enjoyment by all.

The over 5,000-acre Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area was acquired by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust in 2002. LRCT owns and stewards this property, its largest conservation area, and LRCT volunteers maintain two trailhead parking areas and 30 miles of trails for enjoyment by all.

The Castle Preservation Society was established in 2004 and now owns and oversees the management of the Castle in the Clouds historic Services buildings and 135 acres of surrounding grounds for their historic, cultural, and community values. With their complementary nonprofit
