Community garden suggested as part of South End revitalization By roger AMsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A community garden and bicycle-friendly streets and sidewalks are among the many suggested improvements that will be considered as part of the Wyatt Park-South End Community Revitalization Project.

The ideas were among those discussed by about 20 residents of the area, many of them young people, who took part in a community meeting held at the Woodland Heights Elementary School last night.

Amy Lovisek, assistant director of the Laconia Parks and Recreation Department, said that the meeting, which was structured in a small group format with five facilitators from Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) NH, was productive and that she was especially pleased to see a real mix of people from the community present, including business owners and young people.

School board approves college’s use of Huot Center kitchen By gAil oBer

FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — After hearing a presentation from Lakes Region Community College Vice President of Academic Affairs Tom Goulette, the School Board last night decided by consensus to allow the college’s culinary arts program to use the Huot Regional Techni-

cal Education Center kitchen a for its cooking classes.

Goulette said he needed kitchen time for nine students in the Baking and Pastry Technologies, 10 students for Cake Decorating, 12 students for World Wide Cuisine, and 11 students from Bakery Production.

LRCC will use only the

kitchen area of the Huot Center on the Laconia High School campus and the classes will be held in the late afternoon, after the high school and the Huot have ended their day.

Goulette said the LRCC students will bring their own supplies, will wear identification tags while in the school, and will be issued parking stickers

for their cars.

“We know the rules of the Huot campus” Goulette said, emphasizing that LRCC students would be “good guests.”

The sudden move became necessary when the LRCC Culinary Program was told to vacate the Belmont Mill after the town discovered some see HUOT page 12

‘I Have Been Busy All Day’ brought to life by Laconia playwright

By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A stage production about one woman’s experiences living in late-19th century New England is all about family — both on-stage and off.

“I Have Been Busy All Day” which premieres this Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Belknap Mill is a dramatic adaptation of the journals kept by Anna Samson Bradley, a forward-thinking Connecticut housewife who wrote down her thoughts on a host of issues, ranging from ordinary child-rearing and housekeeping duties, to profound questions about the meaning of life and death.

Anna Bradley was in her 30s when she chronicled her life from 1893 through Tamara McGonagle and Judy Buswell read through the journals of Anna Samson Bradley at Buswell’s Laconia home in preparation for 1899, the year before their upcoming performance of “I Have Been Busy All Day” depicting Bradley’s life as a housewife and mother during the 1890s.

Fisheries biologist discounts concerns about cheating at fishing derby By roger AMsden

veteran New Hampshire Fish and Game fish biologist Don Miller. ‘’It was probably easier to cheat when only the tagged rainbow trout were eligible for the top prize. They can be taken year round and someone could have landed a big fish long before winter and kept them alive until the derby,’’ says Miller.

Concerns over the possibility of cheating were raised by what happened on the last day of the 2012 derby, when two large Fuel Oil OIL & PROPANE CO., INC. untagged rainbow trout were 10 day cash price* Laconia 524-1421 subject to change weighed in just before the close of

Miller, who was at the weigh-in station, said that he told Derby officials that the fish were a different strain of rainbow trout than that stocked by the state. ‘’I’d never seen anything like these fish and thought that they must have been taken from a stocked pond,’’ said Miller.

Jim Wallace of the Meredith Rotary Club said the fish had a copper color, which he attributed to the ‘’pellet food’’ which they were most likely fed. He said that many of the other fishermen near the leader board see deRBy page 11

Dozens killed in blasts at Syria university

BEIRUT (AP) — Twin blasts ripped through a university campus in Syria’s largest city on Tuesday as students were taking exams, setting cars alight, blowing the walls off dormitory rooms and killing more than 80 people, according to anti-regime activists and a government official.

The opposition and the government blamed each other for the explosions inside Aleppo University, which marked a major escalation in the struggle for control of the hotly contested commercial hub.

Activists said forces loyal to President Bashar Assad launched two airstrikes on the area, while Syrian state media said a “terrorist group” — the government’s shorthand for rebels — hit it with two rockets.

Either way, the explosions shattered the relative calm of the sprawling, tree-lined campus, signaling the creep of Syria’s civil war into areas that were see SYRIA page 9

New York adopts nation’s toughest gun restrictions ALBANY (AP) — Jumping out ahead of Washington, New York state enacted the nation’s toughest gun restrictions Tuesday and the first since the Connecticut school massacre, including an expanded assaultweapon ban and background checks for buying ammunition.

Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the measure into law less than an hour after it won final passage in the Legislature, with supporters hailing it as a model for the nation and gun-rights activists con-

demning it as a knee-jerk piece of legislation that won’t make anyone safer and is too extreme to win support in the rest of the country.

“Common sense can win,” Cuomo said.

“You can overpower the extremists with intelligence and with reason and with common sense.”

Owners of an estimated 1 million previously legal semiautomatic rifles, such as the Bushmaster model used to kill 20 children and six adults in Newtown, Conn., a

month ago, will be allowed to keep their weapons but will have a year to register them with police. The sale of any more such weapons is prohibited.

“When there’s a pileup of events, when the federal government does not do it, the state of New York has to lead the way,” said state Assemblyman Joseph Lentol, a Brooklyn Democrat and co-sponsor.

In addition to outlawing a broader array of military-style weapons, the measure see GUN LAW page 7

Anti-doping officials want Armstrong’s confession under oath (AP) — A televised confession by Lance Armstrong isn’t enough.

Anti-doping officials want the disgraced cyclist to admit his guilt under oath before considering whether to lift a lifetime ban clouding his future as a competitive athlete. That was seconded by at least one former teammate whom Armstrong pushed aside on his way to the top of the Tour de France podium.

“Lance knows everything that hap-

pened,” Frankie Andreu told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “He’s the one who knows who did what because he was the ringleader. It’s up to him how much he wants to expose.”

Armstrong has been in conversations with U.S. Anti-Doping Agency officials, touching off speculation that he may be willing to cooperate with authorities there and name names.

Interviewer Oprah Winfrey didn’t say if

the subject was broached during the taping Monday at a downtown Austin hotel. In an appearance on “CBS This Morning,” she declined to give details of what Armstrong told her, but said she was “mesmerized and riveted by some of his answers.”

Asked whether the disgraced cyclist appeared genuinely contrite after a decade of fierce denials, Winfrey replied, “I felt that he was thoughtful, I thought that he see LANCE page 12

Is Obama shaping a new political majority?

In the 20th century, only two presidents shaped new governing coalitions that outlasted them. They were the only two men to appear on five national tickets.

The first was FDR, who rang down the curtain in 1932 on the seven decades of Republican hegemony since Abraham Lincoln that had seen only two Democrats in the White House. And Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson had made it only because of divisions inside the GOP. Franklin Roosevelt would win four terms, and his party would win the presidency in seven of nine elections between 1932 and 1968.

Richard Nixon was the next craftsman of a governing coalition.

While he won with only 43 percent in 1968, by 1972 he had cobbled together a New Majority that would give the GOP four victories in five elections between 1972 and 1988.

In two of those victories, Nixon and Ronald Reagan would roll up 49-state landslides.

Roosevelt and Nixon both employed the politics of conflict and confrontation, not conciliation, to smash the old coalition. Find me something to veto, Roosevelt once said to his aides, seeking to start a fight with his adversaries to rally his grumbling troops.

“They hate me, and I welcome their hatred,” said FDR in the 1936 campaign. He believed that if a slice of the electorate was incorrigibly hostile, one ought not appease or court them, but use them as a whipping boy to rally the majority. With FDR, the foil was Wall Street, the “money-changers in the temple of our civilization.”

With Nixon it was urban rioters and campus anarchists and their academic apologists and elite enablers, and the demonstrators who blocked troop trains and carried Viet Cong flags as they chanted: “Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh! The NLF Is Going to Win!” In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, Southern conservative Democrats and Northern Catholics and ethnics left the party of their fathers in droves to join The New Majority of Richard Nixon, which they saw as representing their values and standing for peace with honor.

Barack Obama seems to be taking a page out of the playbook of these coalition builders. Since re-election, he has been actively seeking out confrontations to drive wedges through the Republican Party. “Positive polarization,” it was once called.

Rather than do a deal with Speaker John Boehner and offer one-for-one budget cuts for tax hikes, the president forced congressional Republicans into a humiliating climb-down and public retreat that split the House majority asunder.

Then he spiked the football to rub it in, saying he had made good on his pledge to make the rich pay.

While Obama declined to do battle for his favorite for State, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, a battle that would have united Republicans, he has chosen to do battle for Chuck Hagel for Defense. As Hagel is a conservative Republican, this has already divided the GOP foreign policy realists from the neocons and the War Party.

If Hagel is confirmed, Republican resistance will have been routed. If Hagel is rejected, the Republican Party will be damaged in the eyes of many for having trashed a patriot, war hero and friend of veterans who put America first and wanted no more unnecessary wars.

Nixon lost the first two battles he waged to put a Southern jurist on the Supreme Court, then castigated the Senate for perpetrating acts of “regional discrimination,” and went on to win all 11 states of the Confederacy in 1972.

It’s called winning by losing.

Obama’s selection of White House Chief of Staff Jacob Lew for Treasury secretary, a former budget director whose intransigence in negotiations antagonized Hill Republicans, looks to be another fight the president is picking to portray the GOP as obstructionists who cannot accept the verdict of 2012.

The president is also taking a nonegotiations stance on the debt ceiling, saying he refuses to pay ransom to the GOP to prevent their destroying the nation’s credit rating. Republicans would do well to walk this terrain before choosing to fight upon it.

The coming gun battle, too, is one in which Obama seems to be seeking a clash where, should he lose on the assault weapons ban, he wins with the public and tars Republicans as lapdogs of the National Rifle Association. And the next time a massacre occurs, as inevitably it will, is there any doubt whom the Democrats will hold responsible?

The president has many weapons in his coming clashes with the congressional Republicans. He has the presidency itself, the bully pulpit.

He has forums like the Inaugural Address and State of the Union that Republicans cannot match.

He has a press that deeply dislikes the Republican right and serves as his echo chamber. And while the White House speaks with a single voice, the Republican Party is a cacophony of voices.

With demography moving against the GOP, with more and more Americans becoming dependent upon government, it will take leadership not yet visible to rescue the Republican Party from the fate Barack Hussein Obama has in store for it.

LETTERS Please keep $5 to $10 in your pocket for small, local purchases To the editor, Most of you don’t realize the impact you have on a small business, or any business, each time you use your credit or debit card. Credit card uses, is at an all time high. Together with the customer charges and merchant fees we pay, they are the ones getting wealthy. Just an unknown fact for you the consumer to know: Ever think about how the card companies can give you all that money back, or extra mileage? Well, wonder no longer. The money comes out of the merchant you gave your card to, to purchase the item you bought. Yes that’s right. Each month we receive a bill for charge made. Each credit card company has a different rate they charge us. Each card it self has a different charge associated with it, depending on the type of card it is. We pay the credit card companies over $2,000 a year in fees, for you to have the privilege of using your credit card.

I called the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office on Nov. 15 to verify the legality of a charge Laconia City Hall is charging you to use your credit card for any payment. The law has changed, and businesses CAN CHARGE YOU, if you choose to use a credit card for payment. We, at My Coffee House, and many other small businesses in Laconia have begun to ask for a minimum purchase of just $5. By doing this, you help make the transaction less costly. We have asked our customers when shopping at local small businesses, try to keep just $ 5 to $10 in your pocket. The impact this will have on the economy is stagger-

ing. With the use of paying just $5 to $10 CASH for your purchase, YOU could save us $ 2000. What do we do with this saving?

First of all, we save YOU money right back by not having to raise our prices to pay for those card company fees.

Second, we invest in our own dedicated people by giving them better pay. This would stimulate their buying locally.

Third, by having more disposable income, our employees and YOU can invest in the local economy, and strengthen every business in your shopping area.

Forth, by having more working capital, we and other business can hire new employees. We can invest in our own businesses by hiring other businesses to do work for us.

NOTE: We were able to hire a local young man to create a “My Coffee House” sign for our building.

By having the exposure of our sign, he was able to get several jobs right here in our community from just our investing in HIM. WOW! This is PEOPLE helping PEOPLE, $5 to $10 at a time. That’s all it will take! Let’s stop giving the credit card companies our hard earned income, and reinvest into our own local people.

We are a small, local, family company with strong family values.

YOU can make such a difference in your own community.

We should all guard against making reprehensible statements To the editor, While Don Ewing writes provocative letters from a very specific point of view, he has, in my opinion, stepped over a line of humane expression in his latest letter to the editor (“Elites Protect Themselves”).

Regardless of one’s politics (and mine are well known) or position on gun control proposals, I find Mr. Ewing’s statement that “politicians are allowing gun violence and sacrificing people, like the children in Newtown, to promote the political elite’s goal of controlling the American people” to be an unconscionable accu-

or integrity.

Our country and its policy makers are in the midst of a critical conversation about the presence of guns in our society. The kind of vitriol that Mr. Ewing writes adds nothing to that conversation and, rather, makes a mockery of serious efforts to thoughtfully consider this issue.

All of us have a constitutionally protected right to speak our minds. But, as individuals, we should guard against making reprehensible statements that taint the conversation and demean the subject with their utter perversity.

LETTERS Activism crucial to putting ourselves on road to fiscal sanity To the editor, We are living in difficult times. Our economy as a nation, from federal level to our local communities, continues to choke many of our family households. Not only did our federal payroll tax recently go up, there are many more taxes headed our way on the state level. And of course this doesn’t include the taxes we pay on the county level. The 2013 Belknap County budget is up 9 percent and we are looking at an enormous project of a new county prison, something that will seriously impact each Belknap County family.

Remember, each single tax by itself may not be much to look at, but when we begin to put all the taxes together, we can easily see we are in deep, deep financial trouble.

How much has our food, gas, and other necessities risen lately? My family, just like most in Belknap County, is facing tough choices in our household budgets, trying to juggle all the financial “pinches”. Town, county and state government should be doing the same and offering budgets which fit our current financial situation. And

that means being fiscally responsible in budgeting and projects which will adversely affect our local citizenry.

It has never been more important for us to keep our heads down, and stay on the target. We do not need to be angry or fear-mongering. We can let others do that. But, we do need to be STEADFAST in our message. And that includes participation in public discussions on issues of fiscal conservatism. Being present at your town meetings, voicing your opinion at town deliberative sessions, and running for that open seat in town government is CRUCIAL to putting ourselves on the path toward fiscal sanity. No one can stand on the sidelines anymore.

We must be present, be heard, and be active! Your participation does indeed make a difference. Have no doubt of that!

Should you be interested in upcoming meetings/sessions within Belknap County District 8, local information will be posted on my website: www. jane4newhampshire@gmail.com.

This Saturday we begin our 17th year on the radio. Thank you!

To the editor, So here we were closing in to the end of very good Tuesday radio program.

Following up on the City Council meeting on Monday, Charles was on the line with his version of what took place at the meeting. As for me, I want to thank Councilors Baer, Lipman, Bolduc, and Hamel for understanding that accepting “Federal Money” ($600,000) for two years of paying four new firefighters would end up becoming part of the budget forever. Public employees are seldom laid off in tough financial times. Union jobs at good wages, benefits, and pensions, and job security. What many property taxpayers do not have. And nothing getting better for the next 2-4 years.

We had several callers on that and the prospect of a $43+ million new county jail. Charles had spoken at the council meeting, but enlightened the listening audience with our back and forth re: the amount of land the county and state owns north and northwest of the county facility. The idea of more prop-

erty taxes and jobs from the private sector is more important than a new jail with a large portion housing drug users to clean up their habit. Worthy cause, but we already said NO to a meth clinic in the same area a few years back. We have put up with a branch of the prison for sex offenders — overlooking the ball park. The city of Laconia borders a park with a lake, and parking. Charles suggested a major hotel like a Marriott in that area.

Well, just four minutes left in the program and the caller is a 16 year veteran of harassing me and my guests. “Liberal Lady” tells us we are a “un-American” show. If we love this country, respect the U.S. Constitution, and know that with Obama’s agenda our country will cease, then yes, she is correct, a revolution is in order. I bet she cannot wait until the Second Amendment is out of the way!

This Saturday we begin our 17th year.

Thank you.

I you believe letters were actually written by those children . . .

To the editor, Obama is going to have a photo-op on gun control today, Wednesday, Jan. 16. He is going to wheel-out ideas that he and his fellow tyrants who want to disarm the country held back during the election period. They were waiting until what they felt was the right time to bring these ideas forward and now they’re using the tragedy in Newtown, Conn. to attempt to achieve their goals. The disgusting part of it is that he will have with him, as part of the what I consider a show, a group of children who supposedly wrote him

letters after the Newtown incident asking him to do something to protect them. If you believe that these children wrote these letters and not their parents I have a bridge I’d like to sell you. If they’re in the children’s handwriting you can bet their parents composed them.

Your president — the “your” is for you who voted for him — has no shame and will say and do anything in his power to bring this country to its knees.

LETTERS It is not too late to get flu vaccine, although time is running short To the editor, The flu season in upon us. From all the reports it is proving to be more dangerous more wide spread, and appears to be coming earlier. Russ Wiles has promised us to “address in detail, the issues regarding the overuse of flu shots which are in fact very dangerous and often useless.... harmful chemical injections which have seldom been properly tested for safety and or efficacy”. All if this from some who refuses to list his academic and or scientific background so that we can validate his expertise in the field. He is who someone regurgitates nonsense research and anecdotal evidence from such pseudoscience experts as Dr. Mercola and Dr. Julian Whitaker, and Dr. Moneysmith. It is irresponsible to use the public domain to try and disseminate half truths, misinformation and lies as Mr. Wiles wants to do, especially when those mistruths can lead to increase morbidity and mortality. So before this purveyor of disinformation gets his chance let’s look at the facts.

There are over 1300 reference on PubMed regarding the safety and efficacy of the flu vaccine. The vaccine this year covers the flu virus which is around very well. The flu still kills up to 20,000 people a year either from primary or secondary infections.

There have been 13 deaths in N.H. alone attributed to the flu at the time of this letter. The flu vaccine is not expensive, in fact it is free to children under the age of 18 in the state of N.H. And it is a lot less expensive than an ER visit, a 10-14 day hospital stay and most definitely death. The side effects for the most part are very mild. Is the flu vaccine 100 percent effective? No it is not. We all vary in our response to antigenic challenge. Getting the flu shot not only protects you but protects those around you. You can believe the CDC, WHO, the medical profession, America Lung Association, March of Dimes and other experts in the field , or you can believe Russ Wiles ,and his wild medical/ big pharma/ big government conspiracy theories. I know who I trust, and Russ it ain’t you.

Looking at the science, there is no way to “boost “ the immune system.

You can optimize its effectiveness

by washing your hands, eating well, exercising, getting plenty of sleep and getting the flu vaccine. To think that chiropractic manipulation will do anything to this complex system is just ignoring the facts and basic science.

And when you IGNORE facts and basic scientific truths, yes Russ, you are IGNORANT. It is not too late to get the vaccine , although time is running short. You do not have to take my word for it, open your eyes and ears, I know you see the news reports about this flu season, about hospitalization at an all time high, and one hospital in Lancaster, PA setting up medical tents to keep people with flu-like symptoms out of the ER and hospital. Research the Internet, one source I use is Science Based Medicine, for the real science based facts on the Vaccine,.

Perhaps Russ will give us his address so that those who do not get the shot based on Russ’s misinformation, can show up at his house and he and Dr. Moneysmith can take care of them. While Russ is a great one for name calling, he has personally called me” Dr Disingenuousness”, “ practitioner of patronization”, “allopathic allosaurus” and finally he demeans my professionalism “ ... “ join us as enlightened members of the 21st century”, in reality he will not, nor can he repute my facts and passion for my career. This includes taking care of my patients based on the best science and evidence. Think if you will how far we have come in the last 100 years in medicine. We have eliminated terrible diseases from the planet. We have mapped the Human Genome looking into the very DNA of life. Antibiotics have changed the course of treating life threatening infections. The treatment of HIV has gone from 24 pills a day 15 years ago to today from 1-3.

If the last 100 years was a highway the medical profession would moving ahead in a brand new Cadillac ATS. On the other hand, the chiropractic profession is still stuck in their 1895 mindset, it would be like they were in a Model T yelling” we are still relevant”, unfortunately, no they are not.

To the editor, The Supreme Court made an important decision on January 22, 1973 that remains controversial even today.

That was the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States. As the 40th anniversary of this judgment approaches, there will be events worth noting.

On Saturday, January 19, there will be a rally on the Statehouse steps in Concord at 11:15 with a March for Life following. The March will proceed down Concord’s Main Street to St. John’s Church where at 1 p.m. there will be a talk given by Darlene Pawlik, a practicing nurse.

In Washington D.C. a great gathering of respect-life people from all across the country wiil take place on Friday, January 25. People will assemble on the National Mall for pro-life speakers including a number

that, thousands of marchers will go up Constitution Avenue and pass in front of the Supreme Court building where more speeches may be given.

Let’s get real about abortion. It kills!

If you haven’t thought much about abortion, if you are neutral on the issue, I urge you to think about it and maybe attend the rally and march in Concord.

You will hear some interesting though disturbing facts about abortion.

The cover story in TIME magazine, January14, 2013 explained that accessing abortion service has become increasingly difficult in recent years.

The lead story states, “What choice?

Abortion-rights activists won an epic victory in Roe v. Wade. They’ve been losing ever since.” Why have these deadly procedures become harder to obtain? More and more Americans realize the evil in killing unwanted babies. I maintain that abortion is an

Belmont police pick up Laconia man for bail jumping BELMONT — A Laconia man faces one count of bail jumping for not showing up for a his trial for criminal trespass, default or breach of bail, simple assault, and resisting arrest.

Judge Jim Carroll ordered him released on $2,500 personal recognizance bail. He was further ordered to refrain from possessing alcohol and weapons.

Prosecutor Dave Estes said Leroux promised Carroll that he would show up for all future court dates. from preceding page evil and horrible act. An innocent baby is killed in each abortion.

For a pregnant woman, that child within her womb should be a joy. Saying, “I’m pregnant.” should be met with congratulatory happiness. No woman needs that gruesome procedure that robs her of her baby and murders it. Life is precious.

Inter-Lakes board to sit down for discussion with public in Center Harbor on January 22 MEREDITH — On Tuesday, Jan. 22 the InterLakes School Board will hold a round table discussion about the state of education in the district in the Carry Mead Room of the Center Harbor Municipal Building at 6 p.m. The general format for a typical school board meeting will be suspended so that attendees may sit with board members and engage in an equal voice conversation.

The topic of this first round table conversation will be communication: How can the school board improve its communication with community stakeholders (parents, students, business people, and community members)?

How can community stakeholders effectively communicate with the board on what they believe is important in a 21st Century Education?

How does the board work cooperatively to develop

real educational partnerships with our communities?

Other topics that might be of interest to the community will be also be entertained.

School district officials say this innovative approach is an attempt to meaningfully connect with the community, parents and businesses that make up the Inter-Lakes School District. The board has decided that every second meeting of the month will be held in one of the three towns that make up the district.

The school board meetings may also have some business that can’t wait; but these meetings will be primarily geared toward discussing the important issues that our educational system faces.

Due to construction activity, attendees are asked to please enter the building through the door at the rear of the structure.

GUN LAW from page 2 restricts ammunition magazines to seven rounds, down from the current 10, creates a more comprehensive database of people barred from owning guns, and makes New York the first state to require background checks to buy bullets. The system will also help flag customers who buy large amounts of ammo.

In another provision, therapists, doctors and other mental health professionals will be required to tell state authorities if a patient threatens to use a gun illegally.

The patient’s weapon could then be taken away.

Richard Aborn, president of the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City, said Cuomo clearly understood gun violence is a complex issue requiring broader solutions than simply banning a particular weapon. “I think that’s an important message for the nation,” he said.

In a statement, the National Rifle Association said: “These gun control schemes have failed in the past and will have no impact on public safety and crime.”

“While lawmakers could have taken a step toward strengthening mental health reporting and focusing on criminals, they opted for trampling the rights of law-abiding gun owners in New York, and they did it under a veil of secrecy in the dark of night,” the NRA said.

President Barack Obama will unveil his own proposals in response to the Newtown tragedy on Wednesday. He favors sweeping gun legislation,

including a ban on assault weapons. But because of powerful opposition from the gun lobby, he is said to be weighing 19 steps he could take through executive action alone.

Those could include ordering stricter action against people who lie on gun-sale background checks, seeking to ensure more complete records in the federal database, and striking limits on federal research into gun use.

New York’s law passed the state Senate, which is run by a Republican-dominated coalition, 43-18 Monday night. The Democrat-controlled Assembly approved it 104-43 Tuesday afternoon.

Republicans complained the measure was rammed through the Legislature and infringes on the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

“A lot of people say, ‘Why do you need these guns?’” said Assemblyman James Tedisco, a Schenectady Republican. “It’s part of the freedoms and liberties we have. ... It’s for our public safety. It’s to protect us from our own government.”

He said the bill was dangerous because it would give people a “false sense of well-being.”

“You are using innocent children killed by a madman for your own political agenda,” he said.

“You are actually making people less safe.”

Tom King, president of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, questioned whether other states or the federal government would follow New York’s lead and said he expects the law to be challenged in court.

LACONIA — The Laconia Transfer Station has become the 134th of Waste Management, Inc.’s facilities to be certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council for its part in the organization’s “Wildlife at Work” program, which encourages corporations to restore and preserve habitat for wildlife on their properties. At the same time, the transfer station was named the “Rookie of the Year,” as the outstanding new participant in the program in the country in 2012.

Since 1980 Waste Management has operated on the 25 acres of freshwater wetlands, grassy meadows and dense forests adjacent to the Huston-Morgan State Forest owned by the city.

Employees of the company, Department of Public Works, and Belknap Landscaping Company, together with Scott McPhie of the Planning Department members of the Conservation

Commission, formed the wildlife team.

The team installed 10 bluebird boxes, a robin shelf and bat house, all built by students of Laconia Middle School. Nesting activity is monitored and reported to the “NestWatch” program at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. On Earth Day, 2012 volunteers and students assisted in planting plants ands shrubs. The team has identified and begun controlling and removing invasive species from the property, including purple loosestrife, which is consumed by a species of beetle brought to the site.

In 2007, Waste Management pledged to restore and preserve 25,000 acres of wildlife habitat across North America. The company surpassed its goal in 2010 and today serves a steward to more than 28,000 acres at 116 sites.

MTBE from page 2 tific studies and politicians’ letters, and given history lessons about how MTBE became the gas additive of choice and how the federal Clean Air Act evolved in response to mounting air pollution problems nationwide.

They have heard about reformulated gas (RFG) and maximum contamination levels (MCLs), which are based on parts per billion (ppb).

“No question there are some very technical and complicated parts of this trial,” Judge Peter Fauver told jurors on Tuesday.

The state claims gasoline containing MTBE was a defective product and that the oil companies had a duty to warn state officials about its special properties and ability to contaminate groundwater in greater levels than traditional gasoline.

“The product wasn’t defective,” Citgo attorney Nathan Eimer told jurors. “It did exactly what it was supposed to do. It ran our cars. It cleaned the air. It eliminated smog.”

Attorney Jessica Grant said MTBE “travels farther, faster and is resistant to biodegradation.”

Lawyers for the oil companies say the state’s estimate that more than 40,000 wells in New Hampshire are contaminated is inflated and designed to generate big damages in the case.

“You’re going to see how incredible their assumptions are, how divorced from reality they are,” ExxonMobil lawyer David Lender told jurors.

Lender stressed that it is not a personal injury case: “There’s no evidence anyone’s ever gotten sick or gotten cancer from drinking water that has MTBE in it.”

New Hampshire banned the use of MTBE — methyl tertiary butyl ether — in 2007.

Eimer said Citgo initially opted to use ethanol as an additive to reduce lead content and oxygenate gasoline so it would burn cleaner — two mandates issued by the federal Environmental Protection Agency. see next page

Texas woman facing an outstanding warrant back home arrested in Belmont

BELMONT — A Texas woman is being held without bail in the Belknap County House of Corrections pending her extradition for assaulting someone in Ferris, Texas in July of 2012 and causing them bodily harm.

Mary M. Bond, 57, whose local address is 38 Ham Avenue, is being held on a fugitive from justice warrant.

Police affidavits said they responded to domestic disturbance at 8 p.m.

Sunday night at 38 Ham Avenue.

They said the calling party identified herself as Monica Bond who told the dispatcher that she and her boyfriend were arguing but it wasn’t anything physical.

The dispatcher told the responding officers that it sounded like both parties were intoxicated.

Two officers separated the parties and said Bond, later identified as Mary Bond, 57, of Ferris, Texas could barely stand up and had a minor cut

on her head, She told police she fell and hit her head on the counter.

Police took Bond into protective custody after learning she didn’t have any friends or family in the immediate area.

While taking her to the police department, the officer ran information on her to check for warrants and initially found nothing, although there was an active warrant from Texas for a woman of her age with a similar name.

The officer dropped the woman off at jail and continued investigating.

He learned she was Monica Bond out of Ellis County Texas and, after he called them,Texas officials asked him to put a hold on her.

In court today, Prosecutor Dave Estes said she can either waive extradition or the state of Texas can get a governor’s writ. Either way, the state of Texas will come get her.

LACONIA — Police charged a 17-year-old woman for facilitating an underage drinking party on Shore Drive early Sunday morning.

According to Laconia Police, Felicia Gelinas, 17, of 511 Shore Drive is also charged with prohibited sales of alcohol and unlawful possession.

Also charged was Rattana Phim-

mavongsa, 17, of 21 Varney Court, for two counts of unlawful possession of alcohol and one count of unlawful possession of alcohol.

Lt. Richard Simmons said police also took a 15 and a 16 year old into custody. He said a number of party goers ran from the house before police arrived.

Clarification: No Gilford board member at football meeting An article about efforts to start a cooperative high school football team between Gilford and Shaker Regional School Districts, that was published on Saturday, January 12, reported that an informational meeting held

in October of last year included members of the both school boards. In fact, the only Gilford representatives at the meeting were administrators, though there were Shaker board members in attendance.

from preceding page When Citgo couldn’t get the volume of ethanol it needed, and in the face of consumer anger that ethanol was damaging car engines, the company switched to MTBE in 1986, Eimer said.

Lawyers for the oil companies say the state is looking for a scapegoat.

The state says it wants to hold oil companies responsible for their product.

The state court case is so complex that it is being held in federal court so it won’t monopolize a trial courtroom at Merrimack Superior Court for months. The lawsuit — filed in 2003 — is the first brought by a state over MTBE contamination to reach trial.

Lawyers for the state on Tuesday began questioning their first witness, hydrologist Graham Fogg.

SYRIA from page 2 previously spared the violence that has killed more than 60,000 people and reduced entire neighborhoods to rubble.

The competing narratives about what caused the blasts highlighted the difficulty of confirming reports from inside Syria.

The Syrian government bars most media from working in the country, making independent confirmation of events difficult. Both anti-regime activists and the Syrian government sift the information they give to journalists to boost their cause. And civilians stuck in the middle avoid talking to the media, fearing reprisals from both sides for speaking their minds.

Aleppo has been the focus of a violent struggle for control since rebel forces, mostly from rural areas north of the city, pushed in and began clash-

ing with government troops last summer.

The university is in the city’s northwest, a sector still controlled by the government. Both activists and the Assad regime said those killed in Tuesday’s blasts were mostly students taking their mid-year exams and civilians who sought refuge in the university dorms after fleeing violence elsewhere.

The blasts caused widespread destruction, scattering rubble and more than a dozen flaming cars across a wide street near a dormitory, according to videos shot on site. The dormitory’s windows were blown out and some of its walls were gone, revealing beds and other furniture inside.

Students and rescue workers combed the rubble, carrying away the wounded.

Council agrees to have ‘pocket’ park designed for Main Street at the bridge

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — The City Council this week unanimously authorized the downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Advisory Committee to spend $20,000 to design a so-called “pocket park” straddling the foot of Main Street, which would be built in conjunction with the reconstruction of the Main Street Bridge.

The project was among three presented to the council by Planning Director Shanna Saunders on behalf of the advisory committee. On the east side of Main Street, a covered trellis would highlight the park while there would be granite slab seating, shrubbery and ornamental shade trees on both sides of the street. The traffic islands in the approaches to the bridge would also be landscaped. The estimated cost of constructing the park fell between $150,000 and $200,000 The committee also proposed a similar park at the junction of Main Street and Pleasant Street, which would include a water feature in the space fronting Main Street and benches and tables in the passageway extending alongside the Downtown Deli to the parking lot. The area would be landscaped with shrubbery and shade trees. The park was estimated to cost $12,000 to design and between $90,000 and $120,000 to construct.

Finally, in response to a directive from the council,

the committee considered adding an open or glassed stairway to the parking garage. After discovering the project would cost upwards of $200,000, the committee suggested that safety could be enhanced by adding 19 security cameras, with direct video feeds to the Police Department, at a cost of $18,000. At the same time, in addition to patrolling the garage three times on each shift the police could deploy officers at random during the morning and evening rush hours.

Tax increment financing allows municipalities to define TIF districts, then apply a portion of the future tax revenues that accrue from the increase in assessed value generated by the construction, expansion or renovation of property in the district to either provide funds or service borrowings for public improvements within it. Finance Director Donna Woodaman reported the fund has annual income of approximately $130,000 and a current balance of $370,000.

Saunders said that the committee was seeking funding for all three projects, but stressed that since work on the Main Street Bridge is scheduled to begin in April, highest priority should be assigned to the the park at the foot of Main Street.

Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) suggested borrowing sufficient funds to undertake all three projects and servicing the debt with the annual income from the TIF district. City Manager Scott Myers said that borrowing would make optimal use of limited funds,

but advised authorizing money for design and engineering before considering the options for financing construction. Councilors Bob Hamel (Ward 5) and Brenda Baer (Ward 4) both favored paying for the projects with cash.

Noting that there are many parks in the city, Hamel asked Kevin Dunleavy. director of parks and recreation, whose department maintains them, if his staff could manage additional responsibilities. Dunleavy said that the work would be done, but added that these parks would be ideal candidates for the Adopt-A-Spot program.

The presentation followed the advisory committee’s earlier request to the council for $50,000 to design the two parks as well as public restrooms.

With only sketches of the projects, the council balked at the request and in particular questioned the priority given to constructing public restrooms.

Saunders told the council the committee has agreed to defer further discussion of the restrooms, The boundaries of the downtown TIF district enclose an area roughly ringed by Fair Street, New Salem Street, Church Street, Union Avenue and Court Street and divided by Main Street, running from Pine Street in the south to Oak Street in the north. The district included 287 properties spread over 145 acres, which together represented a total assessed value of more than $70-million when the district was established in 2004.

PLAY from page one Upon her death, Anna’s journals were passed on to her youngest daughter, Edith Bradley, who married James P. Rogers, co-founder of Allen-Rogers Corp. in Laconia, a manufacturer of turned-wood products and for many years one city’s larger employers. Edith gave the journals to her daughter, Ann Rogers Stamps, and some years after Ann’s death in 2000 the journals came into the hands of her son, David Stamps.

David Stamps brought boxes containing the journals any other family memorabilia home to store.

It was then that David’s wife, Judy Buswell, found the journals and began to read them. Their contents fascinated her — not only because they provided vivid detail about her husband’s great-grandmother, but in addition provided an intimate glimpse about what life was like for ordinary middle-class women before they had the right to vote, let alone chart their own destinies.

The fascination with Anna Bradley’s life became a three-year project for Buswell, which ultimately

led to adapting the journals for the stage. Bringing Anna Bradley’s life to the stage provides yet another family dynamic to the undertaking.

When the curtain goes up Friday and Saturday for “I Have Been Busy All Day,” the role of Anna will be played by Buswell’s daughter, Tamara McGonagle, while Judy will have role in the performance as the narrator who at times interacts with her daughter’s character.

Both women have had considerable involvement with community theater — Judy with Laconia Streetcar Company and the Wesley Arts Players, and Tamara with Winni Playhouse and the Pittsfield Players. The last time that mother and daughter shared the stage was in a Gilford High School production of “Steel Magnolias” when Tamara was in high school. “I Have Been Busy All Day’ also makes the first time since then that the two women have performed under the direction of Faith Rupert, who for 18 years was the drama director at Gilford High.

“This is the first time I have directed a play writ-

ten by one of the cast members — a rather awesome experience,” said Rupert.

What both Buswell and McGonagle find remarkable about Anna Bradley’s journals is that they show how even an ordinary life can make a difference.

“She was not a Clara Barton or Abigail Adams, but she still had a real impact on the lives of other people,” said Buswell. “You may have a quiet life, but what you do for people around you has eternal implications.”

“She was a real a real person, and I have to honor (what she wrote in) her journals and who she was,” McGonagle said of playing the role of Anna.

Buswell says what the journals reveal and what the staged readings are intended to convey is that while Anna Sampson was in many was ordinary, she was also very community-oriented and read and studied in order to broaden her horizons.

“She had interest in things outside of herself and she wanted to improve,” said Buswell. see next page

Grease fire strikes St. Francis Center kitchen LACONIA — Firefighters quickly extinguished a grease fire in the kitchen of the St. Francis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center yesterday afternoon.

Fire Chief Ken Erickson said the department was initially alerted to an automatic alarm that sounded and learned shortly thereafter there was a fire on one of the stoves.

He said Lt. Lisa Baldini and her crew extinguished it quickly while firefighters from Belmont and Gilford also responded.

“There is no such thing as a small fire in a nursing home,” said Erickson who said the potential for

having to evacuate a number of elderly and sick people is “very real and very serious.”

He said in yesterday’s case, the fire caused the kitchen to fill with smoke and some of the smoke was detected in the first floor lobby. He said there was no evacuation needed.

Erickson said crews would stay at the home to make sure the kitchen was completely ventilated.

He said the key is to make the smoke ventilate out and not up into the living quarters.

No one was injured in yesterday’s fire.

from preceding page But the journals also provide interesting glimpses of how Anna dealt with momentous events in her life. She records the birth of her youngest daughter, Edith, with something approaching nonchalance.

“A little baby came today,” was all she wrote.

And while in the weeks before there are references to making baby clothes one might assume that she is making the clothes for someone else’s baby, as she makes no mention whatsoever of being pregnant. However, she may have hinted at it rather slyly. Starting some months before Edith’s birth she began writing a number next to each day’s journal entry, a number which decreases by one every day until the day Edith is born.

But while Anna kept her own counsel when it came

to her pregnancy, she was extremely open about dealing with the death of her 2-year-old daughter, who passed away two months after Edith was born.

“She struggled with reconciling what she learned from her religious upbringing with the promises of the future,” said Buswell.

Buswell hopes that Friday’s and Saturday’s performances will not be the last for “I Have Been Busy All Day.” She said she hopes that historical societies or other such groups will ask her and McGonagle to bring the production to other venues.

In addition Buswell is in the process of taking one portion of Anna Bradley’s journals and making it into a one-act play which will be performed at the Winni Playhouse this spring.

Note: Tickets to the performance are $8 per person.

Call the Belknap Mill to reserve at 524-8813.

DERBY from page one commented on the unusual color and size of the fish. ‘’We gave them the prize money, but cancelled the checks the next day after we found out from Fish and Game that the fish most likely came from a private pond in Kingston. Fish and Game told us that an officer had been sent to investigate at a private pond there that was closed to the public and found that there were signs that someone had fished through the ice.’’ said Wallace. ‘’The fishermen had taken the fish back with them, so we didn’t have them to investigate further,’’ said Wallace.

Miller said that with seven different species of fish now eligible for the $15,000 top prize (white perch, yellow perch, cusk, pickerel, black crappie, lake trout, and rainbow trout) it will make cheating more difficult as only a few of those species can be raised in smaller ponds and there is no guarantee that such a fish would win the random drawing which now determines the winner or escape the scrutiny of Derby officials. ‘’We work closely with the Derby and we’re familiar with the differences between fish that we see in the wild and those raised in ponds,’’ said Miller.

He said that the Derby has had an instance of attempted cheating many years ago when a cusk was found with a jackknife inside it which had been used to increase the weight of the entry. Since 1994 metal detectors have been used at the derby.

A.J. Nute of A.J’s Bait and Tackle in Meredith said that he’s heard of rumors that people have tried to

bring in yellow perch which were landed out of state in order to win a prize at the derby. ‘’You’re never ever going to be able to stop all of the people who might try and cheat, especially now that the other species are eligible for the top prize. But I think most farm-raised fish would easily be detected by what they eat. All you have to do is open them up and see what’s in their stomach,’’ says Nute.

‘He said that he even heard of ice fishermen putting ice cubes into the belly of a cusk to increase its the weight. ‘’I’ve heard a lot of stories. But ultimately that’s on the conscience of those who are trying to cheat,’’ said Nute.

Wallace says that the decision to open up the Derby’s biggest prizes to other species than rainbow trout was made after a survey of the club’s database of participants from prior years and consultation with the Fish and Game Department and our judges.

He said that the club saved a substantial amount of money by not stocking tagged rainbow trout this year but that the decision to open up the prizes to more species of fish was not only financial, but was also done with the idea that it would reduce fishing pressure on Lake Winnipesaukee.

The 34th annual Great Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby is scheduled for Feb. 9-10,The fishermen who land the largest fish from each of the seven categories on Saturday and Sunday will qualify for a drawing on Sunday, at which the three top prizes, see next page

SOUTH END from page one municipalities that last year received a two-year grant from Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) NH, one of New Hampshire’s leading organizations supporting healthy community initiatives. The twoyear grant provides about $10,000 in funds and over $60,000 of training and technical assistance according Lovisek. ‘’What we’re looking for are ways to encourage healthy eating and an active lifestyle,’’ says Lovisek, adding that HEAL’s major goal is to reduce chronic disease issues through healthier foods like fruits and vegetables and removing barriers to physical activity. ‘’Healthy choices should be as convenient as convenience foods so that people have the opportunities to make the right choices,’’ said Lovisek.

Mayor Mike Seymour dropped by the meeting and praised the work that has been done so far in the Wyatt Park neighborhood in recent months, including the formation of a Wyatt Park Community Association. Members of the association worked with the Laconia Police Department to deal with issues surrounding the use of the basketball courts at Wyatt Park and late night disturbances and vandalism,

Some of the area’s assets got high marks, including Vista Foods, which was praised for the quality of its meats, as well as the Laconia Winter Farmer’s Market at Skate Escape. Access to the nearby WOW Trail in downtown Laconia, which will be improved once the second phase from the Laconia Railroad station to the Belmont town line is completed, was also seen as an asset.

One woman said a community garden would make access to fresh vegetables ‘’affordable and convenient’’ and one suggestion called for convenience stores in the area to provide more healthy eating options. Another called for a frozen yogurt stand in the area.

Young people said that they would like to have a longer lunch break at school as they don’t have time to finish their meal and that they would also like to see a snack break re-instituted with a variety of healthy snacks available.

Lovisek said a complete report on the meeting and all of the options and ideas discussed will be e-mailed to participants and that four of the highest ranking projects in each the healthy living and active lifestyle categories will be brought before the next community meeting for further discussion.

Board Member Scott Vachon said that LRCC has always been a great partner with the Huot Center and Laconia’s school in general. “We should do what we can,” Vachon said.

School Board Chair Joe Cormier said the Huot Center has been looking for ways to expand the relationship between the two schools and he thinks allowing the LRCC Culinary Program to operate temporarily from the the Huot will provide that opportunity.

Board member Mike Persson, who is also on the LRCC Board of Directors, said he would recuse himself from any vote but wanted to make sure that LRCC’s insurer and the Laconia School District insurer were in agreement.

Goulette said LRCC’s attorney has given him a draft memorandum of understanding and the School Board asked Superintendent Bob Champlin to run it by district’s insurance carrier and gave him the authority to sign it if it was acceptable.

Goulette also said LRCC was willing to pay rent — much like it did at the Belmont Mill — however

the actual money portion of the arrangement has yet to be completed between the parties.

Persson also wanted to know if the individual sending schools to the Huot Center needed notification and Champlin said he had been in communication with them.

“We want this to be transparent,” Champlin said.

“If we have a consensus we’ll make it happen.”

Wallace said that the decision to go to cash prizes was made after the winner’s of the top prize in each of the last three years has sold the ATV which was awarded.

Around the same time, World Anti-Doping Agency officials issued a statement saying nothing short of “a full confession under oath” would cause them to reconsider Armstrong’s lifetime ban from sanctioned events.

The International Cycling Union also urged Armstrong to tell his story to an independent commission it has set up to examine claims that the sport’s governing body hid suspicious samples from the cyclist, accepted financial donations from him and helped him avoid detection in doping tests.

The ban was only one of several penalties handed to Armstrong after a scathing, 1,000-page report by USADA last year. The cyclist was also stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, lost nearly all of his endorsements and was forced to cut ties with the Livestrong cancer charity he founded in 1997.

The report portrayed Armstrong as the mastermind of a long-running scheme that employed stesee next page

Youngsters said not badly hurt by fall from Gunstock lift

GILFORD — Two juveniles were transported to Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia last night for treatment of what Fire-Rescue officials described as “non-life threatening injuries” after the fell from the Pistol chairlift at Gunstock Mountain Resort.

The accident occurred about 8:30 p.m.

Deputy Fire Chief Richard Andrews said the prompt response of Gunstock Safety Services and Fire-Rescue personnel helped to reduce exposure to the elements and prevent any worsening of the injuries sustained when the youth fell some 6 to 10 feet.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Tuesday gave a blistering review of remarks that Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi made almost three years ago about Jews and called for him to repudiate what it called unacceptable rhetoric.

In blunt comments, the White House and State Department said Morsi’s statements were “deeply offensive” and ran counter to the goal of peace in the region. The State Department, noting that a senior congressional delegation is now visiting Egypt, said the remarks complicated efforts to provide economic and military aid to Egypt.

“We believe that President Morsi should make clear that he respects people of all faiths and that this type of rhetoric is unacceptable in a democratic Egypt,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.

Morsi was a leader in the Muslim Brotherhood in 2010 when, according to video broadcast last week on Egyptian television he asked Egyptians to “nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred.”

Months later, in a television interview, Morsi referred to Zionists as bloodsuckers who attack Palestinians, describing Zionists as “the descendants of apes and pigs.”

“We completely reject these statements as we do any language that espouses religious hatred,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters. “This kind of rhetoric has been used in this region for far too long. It’s counter to the goals of peace.”

A group of senators, including Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Christopher Coons, D-Del., is currently in Cairo.

Nuland said she expected they would make their views known to Egypt’s leadership.

Morsi’s remarks and the Obama administration’s rebuke marked a new point of tension in the complex relationship between the U.S. and Egypt’s fledgling democracy.

Since being elected in June of 2012 in the aftermath of the revolution that ousted former President Hosni Mubarak, Morsi has promised to abide by Egypt’s decades-old peace treaty with Israel. Morsi was also instrumental in facilitating a cease-fire in November between Israel and Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip, despite his refusal to speak directly with Israeli officials.

It included revealing testimony from 11 former teammates, including Andreu and his wife, Betsy.

“A lot of it was news and shocking to me,” Andreu said. “I am sure it’s shocking to the world. There’s been signs leading up to this moment for a long time. For my wife and I, we’ve been attacked and ripped apart

by Lance and all of his people, and all his supporters repeatedly for a long time. I just wish they wouldn’t have been so blind and opened up their eyes earlier to all the signs that indicated there was deception there, so that we wouldn’t have had to suffer as much.

“And it’s not only us,” he added, “he’s ruined a lot of people lives.”

Armstrong was believed to have left for Hawaii.

The street outside his Spanish-style villa on Austin’s west side was quiet the day after international TV crews gathered there hoping to catch a glimpse of him. Nearby, members of his legal team mapped out a strategy on how to handle at least two pending lawsuits against Armstrong, and possibly a third.

The AP reported earlier Tuesday that Justice Department officials were likely to join a whistleblower lawsuit against Armstrong by former teammate Floyd Landis, citing a source who works outside the government and requested anonym-

ity because he was not authorized to speak on the record about the matter.

The lawsuit by Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title after testing positive, alleges that Armstrong defrauded the U.S. government by repeatedly denying he used performanceenhancing drugs. The deadline to join the False Claims Act lawsuit, which could require Armstrong to return substantial sponsorship fees and pay a hefty penalty, is Thursday.

Landis is hardly the only one seeking money back from Armstrong.

During his long reign as cycling champion, Armstrong scolded some critics in public, didn’t hesitate to punish outspoken riders during the race, and waged legal battles against still others in court.

The London-based Sunday Times has already filed a lawsuit to recover about $500,000 it paid Armstrong to settle a libel case, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions, which tried to deny him a promised bonus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million awarded by an arbitration panel.

In Australia, the government of the state of South Australia said it will seek the repayment of several million dollars in appearance fees paid to Armstrong for competing in the Tour Down Under in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

During World War II, Mrs. Keller went to school to become an aircraft mechanic and worked for Columbia Aircraft. Then she went to work at Mitchell Field Air Force Base as a hostess-manager supervising German Prisoners. Later she worked for the New York Telephone Company as an operator.

enough to travel to Paris, France to visit her youngest granddaughter who was studying there, complete a family tour of Ireland, and three weeks ago a week in Disney with her family.

PET OF THE WEEK IS PEEPERS

A strikingly beautiful cat languishes at New Hampshire Humane Society.

Surrendered because she triggered a child’s allergic response to her fluffy white and black fur – Peepers is just a little madam of a cat.

She is young, agile, full of life and ready to fill the void in a pet-less home - right now! Peepers has been one of the office cats for a while, she is not terribly fond of those loud, barking DOGS so a home without them would make her blissfully happy! A lap cat with spark, that’s Peepers.

Peepers will flourish in a home that wishes for just one creature, and frankly sharing your life with her, and only her, will keep you entertained. Waiting for her forever home since October 2012 she is so ready to be your constant companion, if you work at home, she would be puur-fect.

Please choose Peepers, call 603-524-3252 or check www.nhhumane.org for details.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis Feeling them while you observe an online page of someone else’s apparently fabulous life is sign of the times.

Just know that you have absolutely no reason to be jealous.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Formalities make everyone who is a part of the group and in-the-know feel quite comfortable while everyone on the outside of the group feels quite the opposite. Proceed with caution.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Communication is just as much about listening as it is about talking. While this comes as no surprise to you, there are a few people you know who consistently violate the rules.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Unless you’re a superhero, power doesn’t come from your suit. But that doesn’t stop you from wanting to portray an image of success. It’s a lucky day for shopping -- you know yourself so well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re not looking for anyone’s approval, which is probably why you have no problem getting it. You’ll talk about your life in positive terms and you’ll attract good people.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 16).

As you go where you are needed it may feel as though you’re reacting to life instead of creating your destiny -untrue! This is life’s way of giving you something wonderful that never would think to want on your own. You’ll go into March understanding a bigger picture.

June and October bring new, lucrative work. Cancer and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 18 and 40

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). One of the reasons that you’re an interesting person is that you’re interested in what others are up to. Everything you learn makes you more exciting to be around.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You invent the weather around you. And when there’s a change in your personal weather, everyone in your vicinity feels it. Because of this, you’ll make an effort to stay on the bright side.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your powers of memorization are particularly strong which will help you in efforts social, political and professional. Later you’ll make an impression with the information you gather.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your attention is a gift. Taking the time to appreciate another person’s mindset is a gift. Stick with the ones who can appreciate the value of your life energy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your attachment to things will be challenged. What do you really need? You may find the answer to that question will change based on the time of day. The bestcase scenario is: I don’t need much.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can’t do this thing alone. You could try -- you’d get pretty far in the game, but you wouldn’t ultimately win it. You need a team. Stay aware and you’ll have the wherewithal to assemble a good one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your words register in the ears of those who most need to hear them. It may be a process that’s hard to detect in the moment, but you can be sure that eventually the meaning will land.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are no stranger to the pangs of envy.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, January 16, 2013— Page 21

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Jan. 16, the 16th day of 2013. There are 349 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 16, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia blasted off under extremely tight security for what turned out to be its last flight; on board was Israel’s first astronaut, Ilan Ramon. (The mission ended in tragedy on Feb. 1, when the shuttle broke up during its return descent, killing all seven crew members.)

On this date: In 1547, Ivan IV of Russia (popularly known as “Ivan the Terrible”) was crowned Czar.

In 1883, the U.S. Civil Service Commission was established.

In 1912, a day before reaching the South Pole, British explorer Robert Scott and his expedition found evidence that Roald Amundsen of Norway and his team had gotten there ahead of them.

In 1920, Prohibition began in the United States as the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution took effect, one year to the day after its ratification. (It was later repealed by the 21st Amendment.)

In 1935, fugitive gangster Fred Barker and his mother, Kate “Ma” Barker, were killed in a shootout with the FBI at Lake Weir, Fla. In 1942, actress Carole Lombard, 33, her mother Elizabeth and 20 other people were killed when their plane crashed near Las Vegas, Nev., while en route to California from a war-bond promotion tour.

In 1944, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower took command of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in London.

In 1969, two manned Soviet Soyuz spaceships became the first vehicles to dock in space and transfer personnel.

In 1978, NASA named 35 candidates to fly on the space shuttle, including Sally K. Ride, who became America’s first woman in space, and Guion S. Bluford Jr., who became America’s first black astronaut in space.

In 1987, Hu Yaobang resigned as head of China’s Communist Party, declaring he’d made mistakes in dealing with student turmoil and intellectual challenges to the system. Broadway columnist Earl Wilson died in Yonkers, N.Y., at age 79.

In 1991, the White House announced the start of Operation Desert Storm to drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait.

One year ago: Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney fended off attacks from rivals during a debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C.; hours before the debate, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman withdrew from the race and announced his support for Romney despite their differences.

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, January 16, 2013

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have been married for six months and am crazy for my hubby. He has back problems and some sexual issues that keep us from being intimate. At least, those are the excuses he uses for the fact that we don’t touch like we used to.

I recently came across some love notes to an ex-girlfriend, saying how they are going to be happy growing old together and how much he loves her. I pay his child support and love his kids like my own. He says he loves me, but I have doubts that he is being honest. He is constantly texting and emailing and never puts his phone down. He acts as if he is afraid I will look at it.

I’ve been hurt before by lies and don’t want to go through it again. What do I do? -- Scared and Lonely in Kentucky Dear Scared: Were these recent love notes or old ones that you happened to find? If they are old, try to ignore them. He married you, not his ex-girlfriend. If they are recent, however, it could be serious, especially when combined with constant and secretive texting, calling and emailing. Married partners owe it to each other to be open and honest. Talk to your husband. If his answers don’t reassure you, the next step is counseling.

Dear Annie: I am a small woman with large breasts. I did not buy these. For years, I’ve tolerated leering men and boys, suggestive comments, questions about breast enhancement and assumptions that I am of easy virtue. Some people are unable to make eye contact because they are staring at my bosom -- not to mention the idiots who cannot possibly take me seriously in the business world because of my cup size. I was once refused a job because the supervisor was worried what his wife would think.

I have learned to deal with all that. But I have issues with the way other women treat me. Most take an immediate dis-

like to me. Men stare no matter how modestly I dress, and their wives and girlfriends glare at me, call me names they think I don’t hear and generally treat me like dirt. Even walking in public past a group of women seems to bring on the negativity.

We talk about bullying because of body type, but doesn’t this qualify? Women don’t seem to see the hurt they cause, the chance at friendship they miss or the chiropractic bills I have from hauling these things around. Breast reduction surgery is not an option for me right now. Please bring this to the attention of your readers. Some might recognize their behavior and make an effort to change. -- Too Well Endowed in Kansas Dear Kansas: Women can sometimes ascribe negative traits to an object of jealousy. If your chest attracts their husbands and boyfriends, they need to find a reason to dislike you. We hope your letter serves as a plea for greater tolerance, but we also recommend you check to see whether your insurance covers breast reduction surgery since you have chronic back pain. You shouldn’t suffer needlessly.

Dear Annie: “Connecticut” complained that her ex-husband pressured their kids not to invite her current boyfriend to their family events. You said that unless the kids stood up to Dad, nothing would change. We have dealt with a controlling ex-spouse for 30 years. She has never changed. And the kids don’t want to hurt her feelings, because she is still their mother.

A long time ago, we made the decision to celebrate birthdays and holidays before or after the actual day. It lets us have a great time with the kids without the stress of dealing with the controlling parent. And we don’t miss out on any celebration. -- Lucky Grandparents
