Will we still call it the county jail? BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Belknap County Commission Chairman Ed Philpot took on the role of language policeman when commissioners met Wednesday morning, pointing out that since a Community Advisory Committee which met last month had unanimously supported renaming the project it is assisting with a Community Correction Plan rather than a “jail” plan, that County Administrator Debra Shackett’s fresee JAIL page 10

Consultant finds Gilford town clerk’s office is understaffed BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — Nearly 10 months after voters at the annual deliberative session of Town Meeting voted to add $12,200 to the recommended budget for a part-time position in the Town Clerk Tax Collector’s Office, an independent
study commissioned by selectmen to see if the position was necessary determined it was. The $2,200 study done by Municipal Resources, Inc. of Meredith said town should hire a part-time position to work 20 to 25 hours a week for the entire year. “This will allow the office to
operate more efficiently, not have a backlog of filing, and perform regular tasks without getting behind,” read the reports that was distributed at last night’s Selectboard meeting. In reaction, Selectman John O’Brien said the board had decided to fill the part-time position as of November 19.
The staffing question came to the surface during the 2012 budget preparation when Town Administrator Scott Dunn asked each department head to identify places where he or she could save some money. Town Clerk Denise Gonyer, who is an elected official, said see GILFORD page 11

Sentence wraps up for Ohio woman ordered to wear ‘idiot’ sign
CLEVELAND (AP) — A woman ordered to stand at the curb with an embarrassing sign as punishment for driving on the sidewalk past a stopped school bus skipped the cigarettes and cellphone as she served out the second half of her sentence Wednesday. Municipal Court Judge Pinkey Carr, unhappy that Shena Hardin was smoking and texting Tuesday, said she planned to personally supervise the defendant Wednesday, but the judge later changed her mind. Carr told WKYC-TV that she didn’t want to cause a scene and was confident that Hardin won’t drive on a sidewalk again. The Associated Press left a message at the judge’s office seeking comment. The judge had ordered Hardin to spend an hour Tuesday and another Wednesday with a sign reading, “Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus.” see IDIOT page 8

Obama says national security not compromised by scandal WASHINGTON (AP) — Responding warily to his administration’s sudden sex scandal, President Barack Obama said Wednesday he’s seen no evidence that national security was damaged by the revelations that ended his CIA director’s career and imperil that of his Afghan war commander. But the president said he is reserving judgment about how the FBI has handled the investigation that began in the summer but didn’t reach his desk until after last week’s election. “I have a lot of confidence, generally, in the FBI,” Obama said, qualifying his words of support for the agency and its actions in the case.
As Obama spoke about the scandal from the White House, legislators on Capitol Hill were grilling FBI and CIA officials privately about the same issues: whether national security was jeopardized by the case and why they didn’t know about the investigation sooner. “I have no evidence at this point, from what I’ve seen, that classified information was disclosed that in any way would have had a negative impact on our national security,” Obama said at his first postelection news conference. As for the FBI’s handling of the matter, Obama said: “My expectation is that they follow the protocols that they’ve already established. One of the challenges here is
that we’re not supposed to meddle in criminal investigations, and that’s been our practice.” Federal law enforcement officials have said the FBI didn’t inform the White House and Congress sooner about the original investigation because of rules set up after the Watergate scandal to prevent interference in criminal investigations and that lawmakers weren’t given notice of potential national security problems because the bureau had quickly resolved them. CIA Director David Petraeus resigned Friday, two days after the White House was notified that he’d acknowledged having an affair with his biographer, Paula see SCANDAL page 13
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former CIA Director David Petraeus will testify before the House Intelligence committee Friday on events that led to the death of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in an attack on the U.S. Consulate at Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11.
Spokesmen for the committee say the hearing will be closed to the public. Petraeus resigned from the CIA last week after acknowledging an extramarital affair. The liaison was discovered during an FBI investigation of harassing emails allegedly sent by Petraeus’ biographer and mistress,
Paula Broadwell, to Tampa socialite Jill Kelley. Broadwell allegedly saw Kelley as a rival. The probe expanded to include Kelley’s copious communications with the top U.S. commander In Afghanistan, Marine Gen. John Allen.
CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Supreme Court — after a day of marathon arguments in the first death penalty case before the court in 50 years — now must decide if the state’s only death row inmate becomes the first convicted killer executed in New Hampshire since 1939.
Michael Addison was sentenced to death for gunning down Manchester Police Officer Michael Briggs in 2006, as Briggs was attempting to arrest him on armed robbery charges. Addison’s lawyers have raised numerous issues on appeal, including the trial judge’s decision not to move the trial out of Manches-
ter, where the courthouse is located roughly 100 yards from police headquarters. Attorney David Rothstein argued Wednesday that holding the trial in Manchester injected passion and prejudice into the death verdict — fueled by prosecutors’ see ADDISON page 16

Time for the truth about Petraeus & Benghazi The stunning resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus, days before he was to testify on the CIA role in the Benghazi massacre, raises many more questions than his resignation letter answers. “I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair,” wrote Petraeus. “Such behavior is unacceptable ... as the leader of an organization such as ours.” The problem: Petraeus’ “unacceptable behavior,” adultery with a married mother of two, Paula Broadwell, that exposed the famous general to blackmail, began soon after he became director in 2011. Was his security detail at the CIA and were his closest associates oblivious to the fact that the director was a ripe target for blackmail, since any revelation of the affair could destroy his career? People at the CIA had to know they had a security risk at the top of their agency. Did no one at the CIA do anything? By early summer, however, Jill Kelley, 37, a close friend of the general from his days as head of CentCom at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., had received half a dozen anonymous, jealous, threatening emails. “Back off.” “Stay away from my guy!” they said. Kelley went to an FBI friend who ferreted out Broadwell as the sender and Petraeus as the guy she wanted Kelley to stay away from. Yet, learning that Broadwell was the source of the emails, that Petraeus was having an affair with her, and that the CIA director was thus a target for blackmail and a security risk should have taken three days for the FBI, not three months. And when Broadwell was identified as the source of the threats, did the Tampa FBI office decide on its own to rummage through her other emails? And when Petraeus’ secret email address popped up, did the local FBI decide to rummage through his emails, as well? Was the CIA aware that Petraeus’ private emails were being read by the FBI? Surely, as soon as Petraeus’ affair became known, FBI Director Robert Mueller would have been told and would have alerted Attorney General Eric Holder, who would have alerted the president. For a matter of such gravity, this is normal procedure. Yet, The New York Times says the FBI and the Justice Department kept the White House in the dark. Is that believable? Could it be that Obama and the National Security Council were kept ignorant of a grave security risk and a potentially explosive scandal that the Tampa FBI field office knew all about? By late October, with the FBI, Justice and the White House all in “hear-no-evil” mode, an FBI “whistle-blower” from Florida contacted
the Republican leadership in the House and told them of the dynamite the administration was sitting on. Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s office called Mueller, and the game was up. But the truth was withheld until after Nov. 6. On Thursday, closed Senate hearings are being held into unanswered questions about the terrorist attack in which Amb. Chris Stevens, two former Navy SEALs and a U.S. diplomat were killed. There are four basic questions. — Why were repeated warnings from Benghazi about terrorist activity in the area ignored and more security not provided, despite urgent pleas from Stevens and others at the consulate? — Why was the U.S. military unable to come to the rescue of our people begging for help, when the battle in Benghazi lasted on and off for seven hours? — Who, if anyone, gave an order for forces to “stand down” and not go to the rescue of the consulate compound or the safe house? A week before Petraeus’ resignation, the CIA issued a flat denial that any order to stand down ever came from anyone in the agency. — Fourth, when the CIA knew it was a terrorist attack, why did Jay Carney on Sept. 13, David Petraeus to Congress on Sept. 14, UN Amb. Susan Rice on Sept 16 on five TV shows, and Obama before the UN two weeks after 9/11 all keep pushing what the CIA knew was a false and phony story: That it had all come out of a spontaneous protest of an anti-Islamic video made by some clown in California? There was no protest. Was the video-protest line a cover story to conceal a horrible lapse of security before the attack and a failure to respond during the attack — resulting in the slaughter? Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has sent word she will not be testifying. And she will soon be stepping down. Petraeus is a no-show this week. He is gone. Holder is moving on, and so, too, is Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. President Nixon’s Attorneys General John Mitchell and Richard Kleindienst and his top aides Bob Haldeman and John Ehrlichman were all subpoenaed by the Watergate Committee and made to testify under oath about a bungled bugging at the DNC. The Benghazi massacre is a far graver matter, and the country deserves answers. The country deserves the truth. (Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)
LETTERS To preach unity when there is no real unity can be dangerous To the editor, Everyone is talking about the need for national “unity.” It is though we are not really a divided people. Maybe it would be nice if we could all sit around the campfire and sing “Kumbaya” on our guitars but that sort of false unity does not reflect reality. National unity would be nice but to promote a false unity just covers up the fact that we are a seriously divided nation right now. Also, progressives and liberals are always accused of inciting “class warfare” by conservatives as though it would not exist if we progressives didn’t bring it up. But, there IS class conflict in America. And, if there is class warfare I am not sure the progressives started it. Why is it only “class warfare” when the working and middle classes try to fight back and defend what they have? We live in a nation with the largest gap between the richest and the poorest citizens than we have ever had in our history. The richest Americans and corporations do not want to pay their fair share. They have even convinced many working and middle class Americans that we are “all in this together.” Using “Big Lie” propaganda and bandying about scary buzz words like “socialism” when anyone talks about a more equitable system of wealth and decent health care and social services, they have convinced about half of the country that their interests are the interests of everyone and they are not. And, they are laughing all all the way to the bank! How can there be “unity” when one side will not compromise? Also, there are real divisions on
social issues. Some of us believe that who you sleep with, who you marry, or your reproductive decisions are nobody’s business but your own. Others, while denying the need for any rational control of corporate greed and predation are the first to want to regulate your private life. The progressive view is that if you don’t want to practice birth control, don’t want an abortion, or don’t wish to sleep with someone of the same sex, then don’t do it! The other view is that one should not have the privacy to make these choices. How can there be “unity” between these polar opposites? How can their be “unity” between those who won a fair election and those who refuse to accept the results and, like Donald Trump, call for a “revolution?” Two or three years ago, a main Tea Party website was even calling for a military coup against President Obama! How can there be “unity” between such people and those of us who believe in the democratic process? To preach “unity” when there is no real unity can be dangerous. It can result in national chauvinism and totalitarian movements. That is what the Nazis did. They wanted Germans to ignore real socioeconomic differences and be a united community of Germans (except, of course, that certain Germans, those made into scapegoats for the country’s problems, were excluded from that community). It would be nice if we were all united but the truth is that we are not . E. Scott Cracraft Gilford

LETTERS Unhealthy for 1 party to rely primarily on single race for votes
To a person, LPD is committed to its mission & its community
To the editor, When Mr. Bountin writes that “voters over 50 chose Romney by a wide margin”, I believe he would be more accurate to state that “white” voters over 50 chose Romney by a wide margin.” Once gain, the Republican Party finds itself saddled with the title of the grand old white man’s party. While Republicans secured 62 percent of the white male vote, they fell short in every other demographic. Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) observed that, “The demographics race we’re losing badly ... We’ve not generated enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.” To remain viable, many prominent Republicans are suggesting that the party has some work to do. Republicans lost not just women, Latinos, but also the youth. And this is not counting the ones they never had, i.e. the African Americans, gays, lesbians, and so many others. Republicans threw up candidates that were too right wing to be elected. The influence of evangelical Christians, and the Tea Party hurt the GOP organization and helped divide the country. The result is a party that is out of touch with mainstream America — a charge once smugly leveled at liberals by the very same party. Much the same way national voters viewed
To the editor, Just having completed the Laconia Police Department’s Citizens Academy, I can honestly say I found another reason that makes the Lakes Region a great place to live and why healthy community building is alive and well in our region. Having always had a positive working relationship with the Laconia PD, from Chief Bill Baker through Tom Oetinger, Mike Moyer and now Chris Adams, I was always impressed with the force in every encounter from local events, to joint task forces, and various other community affairs. However, I could never have imagined how narrow my awareness of the force was until I attended the Citizens Academy. The level of expertise, knowledge and professionalism among these fine men and women is incomparable. Not only does the force comply with traditional police standards, going about doing its work under the laws of the city and state, but it demands the highest performance and integrity from each and every officer in all manners of performance. In addition to receiving national accreditation in 2010 from the Commission on the Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies Inc., the Laconia Police Department holds itself to strict accountabilities from within its own ranks. The degree of training, performance and specialization within Laconia’s force makes
the right wing, William O’Brien and his henchmen in Concord scared the state electorate into sweeping Democrats into state and federal offices. Steve Schmidt, a Republican strategist summed it up very succinctly when he stated, “We have given away five U.S. Senate seats over two elections cycles by nominating loons. I mean, people who are fundamentally, manifestly unqualified to be in the United States Senate.” In the end, the Republicans had to cede the numbers, but as we’ve witnessed in this venue, they will be damned if they’ll give Obama a victory. They will not blame conservative principles, the isolation of large portions of the American electorate, or the inability to convince voters of a suitable plan for economic recovery. Instead, they will blame biased liberal media, hurricane Sandy, conspiracy theories by birthers, Karl Rove having a mini meltdown on Fox News over Ohio turning blue, and Romney for being too moderate. It is extremely unhealthy for the nation to have one party that relies primarily on whites for votes, and the other based on inclusive politics. Democrats are winning the America of the future, while Republicans are losing with the America of the past. L. J. Siden Gilmanton
Thanks for electing me to serve residents of Gilford & Meredith To the editor, I’d like to thank the citizens of Gilford and Meredith for electing me to serve as one of your state representatives — I am honored. I would also like to thank everyone who embraced and supported my candidacy in so many ways, and all of the candidates that stepped forward to run. Now that the election process is behind us, it is time to come together and face the challenges and issues
that will help move N.H. forward in the right direction. I am committed to ensuring that a strong economy, great quality of life, and an outstanding education system remain high on our priority list. Again, thank you for allowing me to serve and I look forward to the next two years as your state representative. Lisa DiMartino Gilford
it one of experienced, respected, and respectful men and women committed to excellence. It is quite apparent that each officer loves his/her profession and is good at it! Until one actually sees the operations from the ground up and inside out, it is hard to image not only what goes into police work but what constitutes pride, conviction and excellence in the field of law enforcement. To a person, from the commissioners, to the chief, senior officers and patrol men and women, dispatchers and prosecutor, it is clear that this is a department committed to its mission and its community. It must not be understated that the mission and methodology of the Laconia Police Department to carry out problem oriented policing is a critical step in building safe, healthy communities where citizens and law enforcement officials work collectively to increase the wellbeing of the community. I want to thank the Police Commission and Chief Adams for sustaining this academy and continuing to give citizens an opportunity to view firsthand the workings of this highly skilled and committed group of men and women. A special thanks to Lieutenant Rich Simmons for coordinating this year’s academy. I would highly recommend this program to all the citizens of Laconia. Alan Robichaud Lakes Region United Way
Let’s ask our new lawmakers to let go of ego-building power To the editor, Around the country, women and families spoke up to the Republican Party’s intent to turn back the clock on women’s privacy in regards to health care and family planning. Speaking of undoing, union gains likely had the same bringout-the-vote effect. Some ideas are just plain rotten. People get that. Monday before voting day I was in
Manchester for my car’s winter maintenance. In the waiting room a young woman spoke because of the TV’s news, saying, “I’m not much for following politics. But if it weren’t for Planned Parenthood’s health care, I wouldn’t have known I had ovarian cancer and had it taken care of.” She was voting against Republicans the next day. see next page

To the editor, I have never written a letter to the editor of any paper. For years, I have stood on the sidelines, building my business and raising my kids. I was too busy to be concerned about political issues. What this election has taught me is that I can no longer stand on the sidelines. Instead, I need to fight for the values I believe are necessary to overcome our country’s problems. The foundational issue facing us is the need to reduce the size of government. We are $16 trillion in debt and operate on a budget deficit in excess of $1.2 trillion. On a local level, we are still trying to undo the damage done by the 2006-2010 Legislature to balance the state’s budget. We can tax “rich” people back to the Stone Age; however, this approach will yield little results. We have a spending problem. The Constitution provides the template for determining what services the federal government should provide. The states can fill in the gaps, should their constituents desire additional services. Social issues, while important, pale in comparison to the economic issues facing our great nation. How do we reduce the size of government? Education. We need to teach our kids the values of hard work, striving for excellence, and being good citizens. Unfortunately, this education is not something that is exclusively learned in school. Instead, these values are taught by parents and guardians. I was lucky. My brothers and I were raised by the best parents any kid could have. I realize not everyone is so fortunate. However, my parents did not come from wealth or privileged backgrounds. Instead, they were taught by their parents the value of hard work, the value of an education, and to be self-reliant. They were taught that whatever you do, strive to be the best. Obviously, each of us cannot be the best. But by attempting to reach excellence pushes us to achieve things that are otherwise unimaginable. And for those who think that life is too hard for some people, and that some situations cannot be overcome, these concepts can be taught even in the worst of circumstances. My mom’s stepdad, my grandfather, was orphaned at a young age and joined the Coast Guard at 15 to escape the orphanage and foster homes. (He lied about his age!) He served during World War II and was disabled by shrapnel in the arm. He
worked 50 plus years in a factory, retiring at age 70. He never earned more than $7.25 per hour when he retired in 1997, but he managed to live the American dream, raising two beautiful and productive daughters. My grandfather did not curl up in the fetal position and give up. He fought to earn a living by working long and tiring hours. Somehow, these values were instilled in him. He and my grandmother paid cash for everything, including cars, owned their own home, and never relied on the government even during old age. They were fiercely independent and did not own anything that they did not need. Yet, they always found ways to be overly generous to their grandchildren, valuing family more than things. By creating a self-reliant populace, we can eliminate many federal and state programs and services that we do not need. I am for spending my tax money on national defense, on building and maintaining our infrastructure, on providing for local police and fire services, on programs designed to help the elderly and infirm live in dignity, and on assisting the truly needy. What I am not for is programs that seem to promote and encourage the endless cycle of living off of welfare. I am not for socialized medicine. I am not for government pensions. I am not for “non-essential” government employees. I am not for redundant agencies, such as the department of education. I am not for taxes and regulations that inhibit small business owners from growing their business and becoming job producers. I am for raising the eligibility ages for Social Security and Medicare. Until we address the issue of reducing the size of government, we can respectfully disagree as to whether the “rich” pay their fair share of taxes, or what services are essential. In the end, it really doesn’t matter unless we earnestly address reducing the size of government. We need to change the mindset that government can solve all of our problems. It can’t. Conservatives are more than willing to discuss ways in addressing these problems. Just refer to the Simpson-Bowles Plan. I guess it depends on how you define “compromise.” Keith Noe Laconia
People want unions because of fairness & that’s what they get To the editor, Memo to Tony B: no, I will not debate you; we have already been there, done that. I am not interested in a debate because there is no changing your mind, no common ground. By the way, I think you and Neil (right to work for less)Young have nothing to offer but sour grapes. Your politics is the polifrom preceding page Granny D talked about the politics of greed and the politics of love. Greed must include greed-for-power. Let’s ask that our new legislators actually prefer loving their state and country and the people within, letting go of ego-building associations with power. Lynn Rudmin Chong Sanbornton
tics of the past, get over yourselves. In regards to “unions”, yes, I am okay with them. I vigorously oppose “right to work (for less)” because very simply, it is nothing more than a union-busting measure. Whether people belong to a union or not, they enjoy the same benefits, medical, holidays , sick pay, and vacations, to name a few. The elderly enjoy Social Security ,Medicare and other benefits that they earned with a lifetime of work and that unions fought very hard for. It is the backbone of the middle class. The people of N.H overwhelmingly rejected right to work (for less) in the latest vote (Democratic governor and House). Like I said, sour grapes on you and Young’s part. Right to work see next page

LETTERS Thanks for participating in Laconia’s celebration of diversity To the editor, Laconia celebrated another exciting Multicultural Festival on Saturday, September 8. Our 11th year started with the parade of flags organized by Larry Frates winding through downtown Laconia. The American flag at the head of the parade gets special honors this year, the 200th anniversary of The Star Spangled Banner. Each year the enthusiastic reception grows between those who line the streets and those who carry flags. We give very special thanks and appreciation to Gail Beane for designing our stylish and lively new logo which reflects our change of name to Laconia Multicultural Festival. This year we featured a new Children’s Corner visualized and organized by Arlene Fortier with delightful and energetic assistance from Larry Frates. There were many activities including face painting, a magic show, and a children’s art exhibit. The Laconia Human Relations Committee, The Historic Belknap Mill, Laconia Main Street, and Frates Creative Arts Studio joined together from preceding page (for less) is DEAD for good. A little personal info: I went to work for a company that was non union. Wages were based on whether or not you were in the “in crowd”; extra work went to the “fair haired” few. In other words, unfairness. A union finally was
to sponsor this community building day. It is the hard work and support of many people, organizations, businesses, and agencies in Laconia and the Lakes Region that lay the foundation for the celebration. We are proud to honor and thank them. Our appreciation goes to our consistent major funders: Kiwanis Club of Laconia, Laconia Human Relations Committee, The Penny Pitou-Milo Pike Fund of the NH Charitable Fund, Laconia Rotary Club, Genesis Behavioral Health, 3M Tilton, Lutheran Social Services, and Northway Bank. Other businesses and organizations that donated to the Laconia Multicultural Festival are: Public Service of NH, Laconia Main Street, NH Ball Bearing-Astro Division, Lakeport Community Association, Pike Industries, and Stafford Oil. Individuals who supported the day through their donations were: John and Muff (Kruse) Walker, Mary Jane Hoey, Golda Schohan, Bill & Barbara Zeckhausen, John & Martha Chandler, Robert & Cathy Merwin, Zeke & Mary Ettleson, Chad & Heidi Squires, approved and everything changed — fair wages, benefits available, and the extra work was divided equally. Big change. It is called fairness. That is why people want and get with unions, FAIRNESS. Enough said. Bill Knightly Gilford
Debby Frawley Drake, Steve & Pauline Weeks, Dorothea Chesebrough, Richard & Barbara Lewis, Christa & Aaron Clapp, Ruth & Dick Stuart, and Mary & David Rivers. Mayor Mike Seymour opened the day by reading the proclamation declaring Laconia Multicultural Festival a day of celebration made possible by the diverse gifts and contributions of all its citizens. Our featured entertainers were Cinder Conk playing music from the Balkans, the NH Burundi Drummers, Neha Parikh and her classical Indian dancers, and Ras Moon and Monsoon whose music inspires peace and appreciation for each other. We thank our talented supporting artists: New Horizon Band, Tila Biswa, Champa and Anjana Dulal, and Robert Kunnaway Turner. The sound engineering for the day was by Wayne Sanborn of Noteable Sound. His flexibility in the face of major adjustments to the program and his magic in giving performers their full due is spectacular. A group of dedicated individuals start planning LMF in January. We are especially appreciative of Martha Kruse for engaging and managing of the many performers. Umija Gusinac, who organized publicity, was responsible for much of the success of the day. David Stamps chaired the Finance Committee, raising the funds that made the day a success. He also manages our web site and creates the LMF program booklet. Fund raising, publicity, and performers are the core
of our day, along with the many food and craft vendors. Mary Jane Hoey was in charge of arranging for over 30 food and craft vendors. The variety of food is always amazing and delicious. Kathy James, of Genesis Behavioral Health, contacted more than thirty community resource agencies who participated, and also managed the Headquarters Table. Other LMF Committee members who gave freely of their time were: Bob Harrington, fiscal agent and transportation; Leonard Campbell and Bob Luther, site; Tracie D’Amico, Howard Chase, Bobbie Thomas, Becky LaPointe, Bob Chapman, Don Forsberg, and John Fortier. We also had volunteers to help setup, maintain, and dismantle the day: Northway Bank was represented by Deb Jordan and Jane MacDonald; Molly Holman did a great job selling raffle tickets; Alan Robichaud helped with traffic control. The Laconia High School Football team supplied manpower for setting up the many tables and tents. Inmates from the Lakes Region Facility were on site early and late to also set-up and dismantle tents and store tables. Genesis Behavioral Health was generous with in-kind donations. Special thanks always go to the City of Laconia Police Department who work closely with us to plan for the site and make sure that safety is maintained at all times. They are a friendly presence on LMF day for many people for whom such a presence is unheard see next page

The judge told WKYC earlier that she felt Hardin wasn’t sufficiently holding up the sign and was “missing the point.” Hardin avoided smoking and texting Wednesday and wouldn’t comment when asked if the judge had warned her to behave. TV camera crews formed a tight circle around her, but she looked away except to quietly talk with a Cleveland radio personality who asked her about an apology. She deflected the suggestion and said she didn’t owe the media anything. Neal Hodges, 48, of Cleveland, stopped by to see Hardin after his brother in Chicago asked him to snap a photo. He said the judge should have been tougher. “If I was the judge, I would have had a board back and front and had her
walk around the area she drove past because I think she took a nonchalant stance, smoking and listening to her music and playing with her phone,” Hodges said. “I don’t think she knows the seriousness of her actions.” Hodges said the sentence wasn’t too harsh or humiliating. “Had it been me, I would have given her five days,” he said. Lee Cochrane, who drove by the scene, said the sentence should have been positive — perhaps requiring her to do a public service announcement on school bus safety. “We don’t know her personally. She could be a nice person but what she did was wrong,” said Cochrane, of Youngstown. “It could have been my child on the bus.” Hardin’s license was suspended for 30 days and she was ordered to pay $250 in court costs.

Special thanks are given to the Historic Belknap Mill personnel, especially Nancy Paquette. The Belknap Mill is central to the area and the success of the day. The fully accessible facilities at the Belknap Mill are greatly appreciated. Electricity for vendors was supplied by the Belknap

The day would not have been the tremendous success that it was, of course, without the many vendors who brought their food and crafts. These are the people and organizations that made it possible. We especially thank the many who came to enjoy the sunshine and a celebration of the diversity of our community. It was a wonderful day. Membership on the planning committee for 2013 is open to all.

Don’t tell anyone: there’s great Atlantic salmon fishing just 1/2 hour from Laconia BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BRISTOL — For more than three decades, New Hampshire Fish & Game has been attempting to re-introduce Atlantic salmon to riverways in the Lakes Region. Without seeing the returns biologists were hoping for, the program is being considered for discontinuation withing the next few years. In the mean time, anglers on the Pemigewasset River, especially south of the Ayers Island Dam in Bristol, have a year-round opportunity to fish for mature salmon. “A lot of guys don’t know about it — there’s still a lot of fly fishermen who don’t know about it,” said Steve Baker, a local angler willing to divulge his favorite fishing spot. However, according to Fish & Game Fisheries Biologist Matt Carpenter, Baker’s luck in the Pemigewasset might eventually dry up. In a cooperative effort involving the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and state agencies in neighboring states, the Baker River, a tributary of the Pemigewasset, and the Souhegan River, which flows into the Merrimack, have been stocked with sea-run salmon. The goal of the program is to see the juvenile fish — salmon fry and smolt are placed in the rivers, primarily — return as adult salmon to spawn, thereby re-establishing a species that once existed in the rivers before the systems were clogged by dozens of Industrial Revolution-era dams. Carpenter said the salmon effort is one of many species his agency is looking to restore. “Shad, herring, eels, all these fish that went up the rivers in incredible abundance... when the dams were built, that was a trade-off.” Salmon should be well-positioned to make the return. As Carpenter explained, the species is expecially adept at navigating the fish ladders and other obstacles between the ocean and their spawning grounds. So, for decades, Fish & Game hatcheries raised salmon, used their eggs to produce fry, then deposited them by the million into waterways such as the Baker and Souhegan rivers. More recently, the department began the “brood stock” fishing program, in which the adult fish were removed from the hatcheries after producing their eggs, and were released into rivers. By purchasing a special $11 permit, anglers such as Baker can attempt to hook

the fish. Despite these efforts, biologists weren’t seeing the salmon come back after their two years of maturation in the Atlantic. Marine mortality, Carpenter said, for reasons not immediately clear, were hamstringing the recovery process. “It has never really achieved the success it was supposed to. Understandably, it’s come under some scrutiny.” In 2011, there was a glimmer of hope for the program, when 400 salmon made their way back to the tributaries where they were released. This was the greatest return in the history of the program, said Carpenter, noting that the previous mark, 330, was set in 1990. He’s not sure what accounted for that success, and therefore he’s not sure if the success can be replicated. Even so, he thinks salmon would
have to return in ranges of 1,000 to 3,000 per year in order to establish a stable population. The program will continue for the next few years, but will likely be ceased unless there’s a dramatic surge in returning salmon. “It’s such an iconic animal, it’s hard to turn your back on this fish that used to be here,” he said. “We’ll see what happens in the next couple of years.” Carpenter called chances for success a “long shot” and said it proves a point about ecosystems: “It’s hard to put it back together once you’ve messed it up.” For anglers such as Baker, the salmon stocking program provides a fruitful, though fleeting, fishery, one which he plans to continue accessing yearround, even by snow shoes if necessary. “The fish are still there all winter,” he said

Private indoor simulated-golf club planned for space above Patrick’s Pub GILFORD — The attic space above Patrick’s Pub & Eatery is the proposed site for a private, indoor, simulated-golf club that will be owned by a group of people organized by Allan Beetle. Beetle said yesterday the project is still in the planning phase and Beetle Enterprises, LLC will appear Monday before the Gilford Planning Board. He said other than the building, the simulated golf course will be completely separate from Patrick’s Pub. The application, prepared by Stephen Smith and Associates, says Beetle Enterprises proposed to convert 2,400-square-feet of second story space and will hire one person to manage it. The lot has 194 spaces of which Pat-
rick’s Pub uses 169. Beetle said the simulated-golf club will need seven spaces. Beetle said the group tentatively plans on having three golf simulators and will be geared toward intermediate and advanced golfers who stay in the Lakes Region year round and want to continue to golf. “It’s amazing technology” Beetle said. “The machines (which simulate some of the finest private courses in the world) are about as accurate as it can get. Ideally, said Beetle, the simulated golf facility will be opened by January should all of the planning and investors come together. — Gail Ober

assessed valuation rose by $2,617,408, from $430,ooh,561 to $432,619,969. The town portion of the tax rate increased 39 cents to $7.68, the local school tax by 29 cents to $8.96 and the state education tax by six cents to $2.40 while the county tax fell nine cents to $1.29.
GILFORD from page one she could reduce one full-time position to a part-time position. In March the part-time person left because Gonyer said she was seeking full-time employment. Selectmen were faced with a choice of replacing one part-time position or foregoing it. O’Brien suggested the study to see if the position was warranted, despite the vote of the February deliberative session to add $12,200 to the Town Clerk-Tax Collector’s budget. The MRI report said that overall the department was well run, accommodating to the general public, and the people who are employed there work as a team. The report said the biggest concern found was the office was behind on filing — and with the added work morale was sagging. “The staff has indicated that there are times when they are not able to even go to the bathroom,” read the report. MRI also made some suggestions for better service, including creating a window for quick transactions and creating a lock box for tax collection payments. A lock box system sends
the payments directly to the bank for deposit, eliminating the need for the town to handle routine payments. MRI also suggested a “nominal” fee for decals — like boats stickers, transfer station decals — and recommended something between $1 and $5. The report said the revenue for the nearly 10,000 various decals issued annually could pay for the part-time position. In other business, selectmen last night voted to spend $76,369 to shim and overlay LaBonte Farm Road and Murray Hill Road. The board also approved spending $16,000 to replace four culverts in Yale Estates. Wolcott Construction will do the shimming and overlay while Busby Construction will install the culverts. The money is from projected surpluses in the Public Works Department because of last year’s light winter. All of the projects were scheduled to be done in either 2013 or 2014 and Public Works Director Sheldon Morgan said he chose the above because they were small, “shovel ready,” and could be accomplished before the asphalt plant closes in the end of November.
JAIL from page one quent references to it as a “Jail Plan” at yesterday’s meeting were wrong. ‘’If we had a nickel jar like my family used to have for mistakes in grammar you’d have to put at least 20 nickels in the jar,’’ Philpot said with a smile. Undaunted, Shackett said with emphasis, ‘’we are planning a jail.’’ And, while she didn’t belabor the point, the commission has until recently referred to the proposed new facility as a Belknap County Jail and Community Corrections Center. Nor did she point out that consultants have recommened that only one-third of the beds in a new facility be devoted to community corrections, with the rest serving traditional
incarceration functions. Shackett said that she has received a draft of the program data which was developed by the New York-based consulting firm, Ricci Greene Associates, for the new facility and asked the commissioners to study it before she replies to them. She said that cost estimates for the design and engineering of the new facility would be available from the consultants around December 1 and asked commissioners whether they wanted to look at adding that to the proposed budget or whether it would be included as part of a bond issue (borrowing) for the new building. ‘’We have to be prepared to move see next page

GOP from page one tatives, claimed that many of the newly registered voters casting ballots were not residents of his town. He said that numbers of new registrants in Gilford and Meredith were “not possible” and remarked on the number of vehicles bearing out-of-state plates at the polling stations. Leandro was riffing on a theme broached shortly after the election by Steve Macdonald, a contributor to GraniteGrok, the conservative blog, who claimed that in ruling on a challenge to the voter registration law Justice John Lewis of Strafford County Superior “made it legal for out-of-state residents to vote in New Hampshire.” At the meeting Skip Murphy, co-founder of GraniteGrok, said that the blog is pursuing an investigation into voter fraud. Referring to Macdonald’s post of November 8, he said that those sharing these suspicions from across the state should obtain copies of their town’s voter checklists immediately before and immediately after the general election. Then those who registered on election day could be identified and steps could be taken to determine who was and who was not a legitimate voter. Murphy invited people to forward the checklists to GraniteGrok where its contributors, who he described as “IT nerds,” would cull the new registrants and determine their legitimacy. Both Leandro and Murphy doubted that either the New Hampshire Secretary of State or Attorney General would thoroughly investigate voter fraud at the general election. Glassman said that because the distinction between residency and domicile in the state Constitution is ambiguous it might be difficult to disqualify voters claiming domicile for voting purposes. But, he added that perhaps the list of new registrants could be used to identify voters who cast ballots in more than one place, which would constitute fraud. Faith Tobin expressed concern about the student vote in Plymouth, commenting that Democratic campaign workers “brainwashed” and registered students in such numbers that Republicans could not compete. In fact, Democrats captured all three seats in the New Hampshire House of Representa-
tives in the district composed of Plymouth, Hebron and Holderness by margins of more than 1,000 votes. Meanwhile, Jane Cormier, the newly elected Republican representative from Alton, Barnstead and Gilmanton, traced her success to running “as a conservative without any apology” and campaigning door-to-door. She suggested that some candidates should have begun campaigning earlier and delivering a clear conservative message. “Our message is worthy,” she declared. Another speaker, who was not a candidate, dismissed suggestions that Republicans should “back off conservatism. “You can’t back off conservatism,” he declared. Although it was not mentioned in the discussion of the election, for the first time in many years the Republican Party failed to rent or staff a headquarters in the county during a presidential election year. Glassman said that funding for field offices originates with the Republican National Committee and is distributed by the New Hampshire Republican State Committee. At the last presidential election, the office was on the second floor of the TD Bank building on Union Avenue, where Glassman said it was “not visible and of no value.” This year there was no funding for a county headquarters. However, Glassman lauded Judy Krahulec for making her home at The Weirs a “depot” for distributing lawn signs and campaign materials. He said that despite the lack of an office, Republican activists maintained a strong presence in the county throughout the campaign. Conceding “it was a tough time,” Glassman stressed that Belknap County was one of only five of the 65 counties in the six New England states carried by the Romney-Ryan ticket. Despite the outcomes of the gubernatorial and congressional races, he said that Republicans prevailed in two of three New Hampshire Senate districts in the county, won 13 of the county’s 18 seats in the New Hampshire House of Representatives and except in the contest for county commissioner held all other county offices. “Romney could count on us,” Glassman declared, “and any other Republican candidate can count on us.”
from preceding page ahead,’’ said Philpot, who said that it appeared most likely that it would have to be added to the proposed budget. Shackett also asked the commissiomn to consider having both the Community Advisory Committee, which was recently formed to provide feedback on the project, join the Community Corrections Committee when it meets next Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. Commissioners agreed that would be a good idea and
would allow advisory group members to stay abreast of the latest developments and comment on them. The planning committee has been working for two years to develop a plan for a new facility. It hired a national consultant, David Bennett who spent six months developing recommendations to assist the committee in creating a new facility that will allow for more instructional and programming space with the goal of reducing recidivism rates. The advisory committee was established to provide community input on the project.

Turgeon resigns as executive director of I-L Caregivers; search on for successor MEREDITH — Inter-Lakes Community Caregivers’ Board President Ken Greenbaum announced Tuesday that the organizaiton’s executive director, Catherine Turgeon, has given her resignation effective when a suitable replacement can be found. Turgeon indicated that she regrets that she will not be able to continue her role but she remains committed to the organization’s mission and plans to support the group as a volunteer whenever possible. Turgeon began serving as executive director in December of last year. Greenbaum stated that even though her tenure has been brief, she has made significant contributions to the organization, including managing the merger with Sandwich Caregivers, helping to implement a “quality assurance” system, updating data process-
ing equipment, securing grants, and making the intake for those requiring service more user-friendly. Greenbaum said that he deeply regretted Tugeon’s resignation and hopes that the organization will be able to continue implementing the work that she has begun. “Her insight and creativity will be greatly missed,” he said. Caregivers will be advertising for a new executive director as soon as possible and hopes to find a replacement by January 2013. For the 24 hour per week, part-time position, the organization will be seeking to hire and individual with administrative experience in working in non-profit organizations who has shown commitment and skill in serving those in need. Close connections to the Meredith, Center Harbor, Moultonborough and Sandwich Communities will be highly desirable.
SCANDAL from page 2 Broadwell. The FBI’s investigation of the matter began last summer when Tampa, Fla., socialite Jill Kelley turned over anonymous emails that had been sent to her and Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan. The first anonymous email was sent to Allen in May, under the pseudonym “Kelleypatrol,” and he forwarded it to Kelley. That email warned Allen to stay away from Kelley, according to a person close to Kelley who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation into the emails is ongoing. That same email — later traced to Broadwell — said the writer knew about a future meeting Allen and Kelley had scheduled. Allen thought the email was a joke or that it was possibly from Kelley because he didn’t know how anyone else would know about their planned meeting, the person close to Kelley said. Kelley was a friend of Allen and Petraeus, both of whom she had met in Tampa when the men served there. One of the federal law enforcement officials confirmed Wednesday that FBI agents were concerned that somebody was tracking the movements of Allen and Petraeus, raising the possibility of a national security breach. Kelley’s complaints about the threatening emails triggered the FBI investigation that led to the resignation of Petraeus and the inquiry into her communications with Allen. Officials said Broadwell apparently saw Kelley as a rival for Petraeus’ affections. The official also said Wednesday that Broadwell sent emails to a couple of other senior military officials besides Petraeus and Allen. The official characterized the emails as an attempt to undermine Kelley’s reputation. The FBI found a substantial number of classified documents on Broadwell’s computer, and she has told agents that took classified documents out of secure government buildings, according to the official. On Monday, the FBI also found classified documents in the search of Broadwell’s house in Charlotte, N.C., the official said. Broadwell had agreed to the search and had told agents in advance that there would be more of them there.
A lawyer for Allen released a statement promising the general would cooperate fully with the Defense Department inspector general’s investigation. “To the extent that there are questions about certain communications by General Allen, he shares in the desire to resolve those questions as completely and quickly as possible,” said Col. John Baker, chief defense counsel of the Marine Corps. Allen has denied any wrongdoing. In early June, Kelley herself received the first of as many as five emails sent from different anonymous accounts alleging that she was up to no good, the person close to Kelley said. One of those mentioned Petraeus by name. By the end of June or early July, Kelley contacted an FBI agent in Tampa she had met at least a year earlier, which began the agency’s investigation of the matter. The New York Times identified the agent as Frederick W. Humphries, 47, a veteran counterterrorism investigator in the Tampa office. Kelley met Humphries when she attended the bureau’s Citizens’ Academy, an FBI program aimed at showing members of the public at least some of what the FBI does and how it works, the person close to Kelley said. Officials who have seen the communications between Allen and Kelley on Wednesday described some of the emails as “suggestive,” and said their release would be embarrassing for the general. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the situation publicly. With Broadwell and Kelley suddenly in the center of the storm, small details suddenly became topics for discussion. Word surfaced Wednesday that Kelley’s pass to enter MacDill Air Force Base in Florida had been indefinitely suspended, a decision made at the base level. Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Steven Warren said Kelley still can enter the base but must report to the visitor center and sign in like others without a pass. Separately, a U.S. official said the Army has suspended Broadwell’s security clearance. As a former Army intelligence officer, she held a high security clearance.

LACONIA — For the past two decades, Roger Cote has been a father, New Hampshire Ball Bearings employee and golfer, recently helping his co-workers defeat their inter-company rivals from Peterborough in the annual company golf tournament. As a high schooler, though, Cote was known as a scorer, playing guard on his high school basketball team. On Friday of last week, he was inducted into the Lowell Catholic (Schools) Hall of Fame. Cote went to St. Joseph’s High School in Lowell, Mass., graduating in 1971. At the time, there were several Catholic high schools in the city, and by the 70s they were each struggling to make ends meet. As a result, he said, basketball was the only sport
offered by his school. “That was the only sport we had — it was all we could afford.” He remembered how there wasn’t a budget for new uniforms — instead, new team members would sort through handed-down jerseys, hoping to find one that fit. Cote soon earned himself a position on the team, making the varsity squad as a sophomore. Cote played point guard and built a reputation as a sure shooter. He scored 182 points as a sophomore, then poured it on as a junior and senior, concluding his high school career with 1,041 points. During his junior and senior years, he also earned the title of most prolific scorer for those years among all players in Lowell. For his senior year, the contest wasn’t even close. He scored 408 points as a senior. see next page

Census found U.S. poor up to 49.7-million people WASHINGTON (AP) — The ranks of America’s poor edged up last year to a high of 49.7 million, based on a new census measure that takes into account medical costs and work-related expenses. The numbers released Wednesday by the Census Bureau are part of a newly developed supplemental poverty measure. Devised a year ago, this measure provides a fuller picture of poverty that the government believes can be used to assess safety-net programs by factoring in living expenses and taxpayer-provided benefits that the official formula leaves out. Based on the revised formula, the number of poor people exceeded the 49 million, or 16 percent of the population, who were living below the poverty line in 2010. That came as more people in the slowly improving economy picked up low-wage jobs last year but still struggled to pay living expenses. The revised poverty rate of 16.1 percent also is higher than the record 46.2 million, or 15 percent, that the government’s official estimate reported in September. Due to medical expenses, higher living costs and limited immigrant access to government programs, people 65 or older, Hispanics and urbanites were more likely to be struggling economically under the alternative formula. Also spiking higher in 2011 was poverty among full-time and part-time workers. As a result, the portrait of poverty broken down by state notably changes. California tops the list, hurt by high housing costs, large numbers of immigrants as well as less generous tax credits and food stamp programs to buoy low-income families. It is followed by the District of Columbia, Arizona, Florida and Georgia. In the official census tally, it was rural states that were more likely to be near the top of the list, led by Mississippi, New Mexico, Arizona and Louisiana. “We’re seeing a very slow recovery, with increases in poverty among workers due to more new jobs which are low-wage,” said Timothy Smeeding, a University of Wisconsin-Madison economist who specializes in poverty. “As a whole, the safety net is holding many people up, while California is struggling more because it’s relatively harder there to
qualify for food stamps and other benefits.” Broken down by group, poverty was disproportionately affecting people 65 and older — about 15.1 percent, or nearly double the 8.7 percent rate calculated under the official formula. That’s because they have higher medical expenses, such as Medicare premiums, deductibles and drug costs, that aren’t factored into the official rate. While poverty rates for older Americans as a whole are higher, the new measure does show improvement in their income levels — about 15.1 percent were poor last year, down from 15.8 percent in 2010. Smeeding attributes that to a wave of more affluent, still-working baby boomers in dual-income households who are beginning to turn 65 and, as a result, are slowly raising overall income levels for seniors. Working-age adults ages 18-64 saw an increase in poverty from 13.7 percent based on the official calculation to 15.5 percent, due mostly to commuting and child care costs. In contrast, the new measure showed declines in poverty for children, from 22.3 percent under the official formula to 18.1 percent. Still, they remained the age group most likely to be economically struggling by any measure. “These new numbers only reinforce what AARP and AARP Foundation hear from real people every day: older Americans are struggling to make ends meet,” said Deb Whitman, executive vice president of AARP, an advocacy group. “Policymakers need to understand that not every senior is well off and the critically important role Social Security or Medicare plays as providing a safety net to keep even more older Americans out of poverty. As Washington debates what should happen during the lame duck, we cannot afford to undermine the current safety net that allows many to live with dignity.” Hispanics and Asians also saw much higher rates of poverty, 28 percent and 16.9 percent, respectively, compared with rates of 25.4 percent and 12.3 percent under the official formula.
from preceding page According to a Lowell Sunday Sun article published on March 7, 1971, Cote scored 95 more points during his senior year than the next highest-scorer in Lowell. Since his graduation, all the Catholic High Schools consolidated into one, greatly improving their collective financial well-being. The Lowell Catholic Hall of Fame serves to honor extraordinary athletes from all of the Catholic schools. Cote was inducted during a ceremony on November 9. “It’s an unbelievable feeling to be honored to go into the Hall of Fame with such great athletes,” he said.
One of his fellow inductees, a football player, went on to play nine seasons in the National Football League. “It was a special feeling, a special night.” Cote went immediately into the work force after high school, working for Wang Labs and Courier Corp. Since 1993, though, he’s lived in Laconia and has worked for New Hampshire Ball Bearings. His current title is production control supervisor. He and his wife Sue raised six children, have a dozen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Cote said he’s still coming to terms with the Hall of Fame honor. “My legacy will be there for my grandchildren to see for many years to come,” he said.

Structural work on new Weirs roundabout complete LACONIA — City Manager Scott Myers told the City Council this week that from a functional perspective, roadwork on the new roundabout at Weirs Beach was completed with the wearing course paving on November 5, leaving only the striping, which will be done shortly. The final touches, particularly loaming and seeding of the roundabout and traffic islands, will be completed next spring. Since the roundabout was scheduled to be completed by Memorial Day, Busby Construction Com-
pany of Atkinson, the contractor is ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, with the completion of work on Anthony Drive, Cotton Hill Road and Dolloff Street, the road improvement program scheduled for this season is complete. A final wearing course of pavement will be applied to Anthony Drive in the spring, after the extensive underground work required to upgrade the drainage system has undergone a cycle of freezing and thawing. — Michael Kitch
Rye motel owner accused of taking guests welfare checks RYE (AP) — Police say the owner of a motel in Rye, N.H., has been charged with taking governmental assistance checks from her guests and depositing them without their knowledge.

Herald the charges allege Larson was intercepting the assistance checks from people who were living at the motel and owed her rent. Walsh said Larson allegedly deposited checks worth $524 and $668. He said the checks Larson allegedly forged were considered to be “room tax refund” checks for the long-term guests.
House Speaker O’Brien hangs onto seat after recount CONCORD (AP) — Republican House Speaker William O’Brien will keep his seat after a re-count Wednesday confirmed his narrow victory in last week’s election. The vote on Election Day showed O’Brien defeating Democrat Kary Jencks by 67 votes in District 5, which covers Mont Vernon and New Boston. That margin increased to 70 votes in the recount, one of 23 being conducted this week. The House also picked up another Republican Wednesday after a recount in Rockingham County’s District 17, which covers Newmarket and Newfields. Six candidates were competing for three seats, and the Election Day results showed three Democrats winning — Marcia Moody, Michael Cahill and William Connery. But Republican Rep. Adam Schroadter of Newmarket picked up enough votes in the recount to surpass Connery by 15 votes. On Tuesday, a recount confirmed Republican state Sen. Andy Sanborn’s win over Democrat Lee Nyquist in District 9, which covers 14 towns includ-
ing Bedford, New Boston and Mont Vernon. Election Day results had Sanborn up by 253 votes; the recount made his margin of victory 213 votes. “I’m pleased by the result of the recount, and look forward to continuing my work in the Senate for a more pro-job, pro-growth New Hampshire. Tonight, small business owners, taxpayers and those struggling to make ends meet will be able to sleep more easily knowing that the State Senate majority will remain in Republican hands,” Sanborn said, referring to the 13-11 edge Republicans hold in the Senate. O’Brien, who was elected speaker two years ago, is not seeking a leadership position for the session that starts in January now that Democrats have regained control of the House. Republicans will nominate their choice for speaker Thursday in a private caucus, while Democrats pick their nominee Saturday. If Democrats stick together, their choice will be named speaker Dec. 5 and the GOP choice will be minority leader.
ADDISON from page 2 arguments to jurors that Briggs died protecting the community from Addison, an outsider. “The watershed event in this case was not moving the trial out of that courthouse,” Rothstein argued. But Assistant Attorney General Elizabeth Woodcock argued that the killing of a police officer — though rare in New Hampshire — is not tantamount to an act of terrorism and mass murder. “It’s not that kind of heart-stopping event, even though it’s a tragedy,” Woodcock said. Prosecutors argued that both sides worked hard to guarantee Addison a fair trial and that jurors cer-
tified their verdict was not influenced by arbitrary factors. “This court is not sitting as the 13th juror,” Woodcock argued. “Consider the strengths of the state’s case as well as the weaknesses of the defense case.” Members of the Briggs and Addison families attended the daylong hearing but declined to comment. Briggs, 35, was 15 minutes from the end of his shift when he and his partner — both on bicycle patrol — confronted Addison and another suspect Oct. 16, 2006. Jurors found that Addison shot Briggs see next page

Lovett & Buffington honor by Meredith Rotary as Paul Harris Fellows The Meredith Rotary Club awarded its highest honor to two local members who embody the “Service Above Self” motto of Rotary International. The Paul Harris Fellowship, named for the founder of Rotary International, is given to a member selected by the club who has either donated $1,000 or more to Rotary International, or who has demonstrated outstanding service to the community. For 2012, the recipients included Miller Lovett, who received two fellowship awards (one for community service and one for donations to Rotary International), and David Buffington, for his contributions to Rotary International. Above Lovett and Buffington (holding blue leather award certificates) are shown with other Meredith Rotary Club Paul Harris Fellows at Waukewan Golf Club in August. (Courtesy photo)
Pierce scores 23 to lead Celtics past Jazz, 98-93
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Celtics like to have a lot of veterans for this very reason. With point guard Rajon Rondo on the bench after injuring his right ankle, Leandro Barbosa sparked a third-quarter run and ran the offense in the fourth as the Celtics held off the Utah Jazz 98-93 on Wednesday night. “That’s what we brought him in here for,” said Boston captain Paul Pierce, who led the way with 23 points, including a pair of key free throws with 19.5 seconds to play. Reserves Jeff Green and Barbosa each scored 16 points for the Celtics, who won for the fifth time in
six games. Kevin Garnett added 11 points and eight rebounds. Rondo left the game for good in the third quarter with the ankle injury after getting 10 assists — reaching double-digits for the 32nd straight game. With Rondo sitting on the bench for the final quarter, Green and Barbosa each played the entire 12 minutes, with Green scoring seven points. “Barbosa was terrific,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said. “I mean, he bailed us out.” Rivers said he “had no idea” if Rondo would play Thursday in Brooklyn.
from preceding page in the head at close range to avoid arrest. Addison was later convicted of going on a violent crime spree in the days leading up to Briggs’ death, including two armed robberies and a drive-by shooting. Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeffery Strelzin said the justices have waded through thousands of pages of briefs and transcripts of a trial that spanned three months. He said he wouldn’t be surprised if it takes a year or more for them to issue their ruling. If the court vacates Addison’s death sentence on constitutional grounds, Strelzin said, the state would be barred from again seeking a death sentence. Outside the courthouse Wednesday, death penalty opponents held signs in a silent vigil. “This is a momentous occasion,” said Arnie Alpert, spokesman for the Coalition Against the Death Penalty. “Inside the court they’ll be talking about the legal issues. But ultimately, the death penalty is a profound moral issue, economic issue and political issue.”
Manchester Police Officer Dan Doherty — recovering from being shot multiple times while pursuing a suspect in March — said he attended part of the hearing because he was “almost in the shoes of Officer Briggs.” “I felt it was a necessity for people who have been close enough to his position to be here and stand together,” said Doherty. The courtroom was nearly full for the morning session, but the crowd thinned out in the afternoon. Typically, a hearing before the justices lasts a half an hour. Rothstein also told the court Addison may not have faced the ultimate penalty if jurors had been allowed to hear his assertions that he did not intend to kill a Manchester police officer in a dark alley six years ago. “Addison said he did not act purposely,” Rothstein said, noting that he repeated the assertion nearly two dozen times. “He maintained that position under intense questioning.”

Meredith Altrusa donates to Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes Gilford Middle School presenting ‘The Little Mermaid Jr.’ MEREDITH — The Altrusa Club of Meredith recently presented a check for $6000 to the Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes program. This program is designed to provide lunches during the summer months to children in the InterLakes School District (Meredith, Center Harbor, and Sandwich). The program is modeled after the very successful Got Lunch! Laconia program, which is now in its third year of operation. One third of Inter-Lakes students receive free or reduced-price lunches throughout the school year. During the summer months, these children do not receive the same support. The Got Lunch! InterLakes program has been developed to fill that gap. The program plans to deliver five healthy lunches each week to every child that enrolls, beginning in the summer of 2013. The anticipated cost for each child is $120. The program, guided by co-chairs, Kate Miller and Carla Horne is working with towns, clubs, churches, merchants, and other organizations throughout the community to raise funds to support this effort. The Altrusa Club of Meredith’s Community Service Committee felt that this program was extremely worthwhile and voted to support five children this coming summer through its International Foundation. The Altrusa International Foundation of Meredith,
NH Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit foundation. Its fundraising efforts contribute to a better community through leadership, service, and partnerships. For more information, please visit www.altrusameredithnh.org

Also on hand are high school students who have provided help with costume, props, and publicity. Denise Sanborn, music teacher at GMS and GHS, will also provide vocal instruction to the cast. “The Little Mermaid Jr.” marks the 3nd time GMS Theatre will feature two entirely different casts presenting the same show. The Part of Your World and Under the Sea casts each perform on alternate nights.

American Legion Amateur Radio operators needed to help in emergencies
LACONIA — Hurricane Sandy will go down in the record books as one of the most severe storms of all times, according to one source, “the second-most powerful storm only to Hurricane Isabel in 2003.” This storm created massive flooding, power outages, loss of property and many lives were lost. Not only was there rain and wind but snowfall up to two feet in some areas. With the loss of power, ham operators from The American Legion Amateur Radio Club(TALARC) sprang into action. The club is “a nationwide volunteer unit that can and does aid the local community, state and national emergency officials during civil or natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy. The strength of this organization is in the local communities where they live.” They assisted homeland
security efforts in communities by developing emergency kits and plans; by remaining informed and assisting schools, workplaces and communities in developing emergency plans and checklists; and by cooperating with local councils of the Citizens Corps, Emergency Management. The club was established in May 2011 and has quickly grown in membership. This association of military veterans and family who share an interest in and are licensed as amateur radio operators will have plenty to do during an emergency situation. There is a great need for more ham operators. Legionnaires who want further information are urged to consult the TALARC website for a brochure “Amateur Radio and The American Legion” at website www.legion.org/ hamradio under Club Resources.
Felting workshop held at the Shepherd’s Hut Market on Sunday
GILFORD — There will be a felting workshop at the Shepherd’s Hut Market, at Ramblin’ Vewe Farm at 637 Morrill Street in Gilford on Sunday, November 18 from noon to 3 p.m. Shepherd’s Hut’s proprietor Joyce Keyser says the aim of this workshop is to show people how to make shapes and designs using a variety of colors of wool. Needle felting and some wet felting will be done during the event. “It is a lot of fun, and you don’t need a lot of skill to learn this craft,” says Keyser. “After learning the basics of felting you can let your creativity take over and make anything you can imagine.” There will be materials available for you to make a Snowman Christmas ornament, or learn how to make an animal, flower, or anything desired with the wool that is provided. There will be your choice of head-bands or barrettes which can be decorated with
an embellishment, and pin backings. “This is a great event to let your imagination run wild,” says Keyser. Instructor Merrilyn Patch is from Hancock where her family has been raising sheep for six generations on the family farm. Merrilyn has been working with wool, spinning, felting and dyeing since she was in 4-H. Today she sells her products throughout the Northeast at craft shows, fairs, Sheep & Wool Festivals, and farmer’s markets such as the Shepherd’s Hut Market. There will be a fee of $18 per person to cover the cost of tuition and materials. All of the materials used in the workshop will be available for purchase at the Shepherd’s Hut Market. For more information, or to pre-register (preferred but not required) call Joyce Keyser at 393- 4696 or 527-1873, or e-mail her at jekeyseer@ metrocast.net.

LACONIA — Laconia Christian Science Church invites the public to join them for a talk given by Jon Benson, of Los Angeles, Calif. on Sunday, Nov. 18, at 2 p.m., in our church building located at 136 Pleasant Street. Laconia. Benson’s talk is entitled “Step Out of Your Story and into Healing”. He will be exploring how allowing the Bible to reveal the nature of God and his creation to become truer to people than their personal histories seem to be and how letting this correct under-
standing of God’s nature become an act of worship that reforms and heals. Benson, a practitioner of Christian Science healing, has served in a wide variety of fields including being the Managing Director of a non-profit organization providing planning and management facilitation for governments and volunteer organizations in the developing world, including Africa. The Laconia Christian Science church is located in downtown Laconia in the vicinity of the train depot.

Cackleberries extends Open Doors program weekends Blue Star Mothers sponsoring Wreaths at Boscawen program
BOSCAWEN — The Blue Star Mothers of NH, sponsor of the program - Wreaths at Boscawen – would like help in placing wreaths in Section 4 on December 15, at the New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery starting at 10 a.m. The wreaths being placed are 12” and will have a red ribbon. The wreath laying event will coincide with the day that the wreaths are placed on the graves at Arlington National Cemetery.

Soldier’s Helpers once again will be on hand with refreshments and hot drinks. At noon the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) will hold a ceremony at the Circle of Flags in conjunction with Wreaths Across America. The ceremony coincides with similar ceremonies across the United States of America with placing ceremonial wreaths on the military service markers. Blue Star Mothers of NH will return on January 12 starting at 10 a.m. to help pick up all the wreaths. Donations are being sought to help purchase a 12” Balsam wreaths with a four loop red bow. The wreaths cost is $6.50 and are purchased locally and will be delivered to the NH Veterans Cemetery on December 15. Donations can be made in Honor of or in Memory of someone that will be entered on the organization’s Tribute page. Donation forms can be downloaded from the Wreaths for Boscawen webpage and mailed.

Wolfeboro Friends of Music bringing Canadian violin sensation Adrian Anantawan to Brewster Academy’s Anderson Hall WOLFEBORO — Wolfeboro Friends of Music November guest artist is violinist Adrian Anantawan, who will perform at Brewster Academy’s Anderson Hall, 205 S. Main Street, Wolfeboro, on Saturday, November 17, at 7:30 p.m. “I guess when you see a one-handed violinist play the Tchaikovsky violin concerto, you can always say that there’s a story behind the notes,” says who was born without a right hand and began taking violin lessons when he was nine years old. The lessons began when his Thai-Chinese parents realized their young son was unable to play the recorder, which requires the use of the fingers on both hands. With input from Adrian, a rehabilitation center in his native Toronto helped to create an adaptive device for his violin. Adrian’s world transformed with the violin in his life. His memories before beginning his journey as a performer were of being “marginalized” in school for being “slightly different.” His world opened when he joined a chamber orchestra at age 12. “It was one of the first times I was accepted within a peer group, mainly because it’s how you sound; it’s not see next page

from preceding page how you look. It’s how you express and communicate.” [Harvard Gazette] Fast-forward eleven years and Adrian’s expression and communication through the violin would bring him to a solo debut performance, playing Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. The performance was captured in a CBC (CanadianBroadcasting Corporation) documentary, “Adrian Anantawan: The Story Behind the Notes.” The documentary chronicles his journey to fulfilling his performance dream and features footageof his musical development from its beginnings. [TV Guide Review] Performing with Anantawan will be pianist, Amy Yang. Hailed by The New York Concert Review as “a magnificent artist and poet,” she is a seasoned performer and collaborator. As a duo, Anantawan and Yang have performed in numerous New England venues including in Boston. This concert is the third of eight programs presented by Wolfeboro Friends of Music to people of the greater Lakes Region during its season, which runs from September through May. Tickets are available for $20 at the door; at Black’s Paper Store and Avery Insurance in Wolfeboro; or at Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith; by calling (603) 569-2151; or by visiting the website at www. wfriendsofmusic.org.

Bank of New Hampshire supports the Belknap Mill Society capital campaign LACONIA — Bank of New Hampshire is proud to support the Historic Belknap Mill Society’s “Restoring an Iconic Laconia Landmark: The Historic Belknap Mill” capital campaign with a check for $20,000. “Being 182 years old, Bank of New Hampshire understands the importance of preserving a historic landmark such as the Belknap Mill,” stated Mark Primeau, President & CEO for Bank of New Hampshire. “The Belknap Mill is a staple in the Lakes Region community and Bank of New Hampshire is proud to be able to help.” The Belknap Mill Society was founded as a nonprofit organization in 1970. The Society’s mission is “to preserve and protect the Belknap Mill, maintain an historical museum, and support and provide cultural and educational opportunities for Laconia and the Lakes Region.” As they work to sustain their mission they recognize that their historic structure is in need of profound renovation and safety improvements, due to long-deferred maintenance and replacement and updating of critical equipment. The Board formed a Building Committee that obtained professional assessments of the building’s needs and developed short- and long-term improvement plans. The capital campaign has set out to raise a total of $101,000 to meet its goal. The Belknap Mill Society is working to restore the mill’s exterior. This work is important; the Belknap Mill is listed on the National Register of Historic Place and the exterior appearance of the Belknap Mill gives the public its first impression of the facility. Given the Mill’s location, and its status as a very recognizable landmark in the city of Laconia, its appearance also contributes to viewers’ impressions of Laconia’s downtown area. Work has already started on a number of restoration projects, including repair and restoration of the cupola, base, clerestory, main roof, and end gables and replacement of the flagpole that traditionally stood in front of the Mill. The generous donation from Bank of New Hampshire has given the Belknap Mill a jump-start on the work that needs to be done. Commented Historic Belknap Mill Society trustee

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis today without producing an obvious upside. Mistakes are opportunities for growth and mastery. Miscommunication is an opportunity to make a better connection. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you’re putting yourself out there, you’re going to feel at least partially unprepared. No matter how extensive your preparation may be, you never know all of what the future will bring. Embrace the unknown. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Getting what you want is the ultimate challenge. Can you still be yourself while being the person who has attained this aim? Will the win go to your head? Your friends will be watching, ready to keep you humble. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t have to be confident or selfaware to contribute to others. You don’t even have to believe in your own value. If you simply give because it feels right to do so, that is enough. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No matter how spiritual you are, you have your own very human point of view. It’s an opinion you can’t help but form. Once established, you can test it out from a higher place to see how true it really is. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 15). Interesting people enter the scene in the next 10 weeks, and you’ll adjust your schedule to include them in your future. December brings a priority shift. Intensely focused, you’ll wrap up a huge project. In March, you’ll compete and win. June brings travel; you don’t have to go far to experience a whole new world. Pisces and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 19, 30, 15 and 40.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll stack your desires so that you can shoot for the most exciting goal first. If your top priority matches up with another person’s wishes, you can’t go wrong. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You might be giving more thought to a situation than is necessary. Tension in your personal life will ease as you perfect the fine art of ignoring the problem. It’s not as easy to do as it sounds. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can’t quite categorize your feelings for someone, let alone demonstrate them. Luckily, you don’t have to. By reacting naturally in the moment, the emotional landscape develops without conscious effort. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Follow the directions instead of trying to invent your own way. Why not believe things should be easy? If you think they should be hard, you’ll put way too much effort into a job that is, in actuality, a snap. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll find enormous satisfaction in cleaning up. Scrub the surface of things: projects, mysteries, countertops, your own skin. There’s a gleaming reward at the end of your effort. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Talk about what you want, even if you don’t think people will be interested. You never know how a conversation will come together until you launch into it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your micro-wish will come true. Sure, it’s a small wish -- along the lines of hoping to hit the green lights or getting coffee without waiting in line -- but the favorable result is a definite sign that things are going your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s nothing that can go wrong

PETS OF THE WEEK : WHIMSEY & SPIRIT The image of Spirit and Whimsey shows they are planning their next heist, out of the social room and off into the lobby to canvas on their own for a new home. These two sisters have the most poignant of stories. Abandoned as tiny kittens at NHHS, found by a staff member by the recycle bin no less! These kittens were teetering on the precipice of giving up their will to live. Barely alive, weakened by malnutrition and parasites, it looked as if in spite of our herculean efforts that these girls would die. But they didn’t! They rallied under the constant care of shelter staff. The girls thrive on Meow Mix, not the kibble of choice at New Hampshire Humane Society but the crunchy diet they love and have gained weight steadily on. Now their coats are long and lustrous, eyes are bring, temperaments sweet and inquisitive. Spirit, all black and Whimsey, grey and white, MUST be adopted together, they have endured much and deserve to remain in the company of each other. Don’t wait until Black Friday Adopt-A-Thon at the Belknap Mall to adopt them, they’ve been living at NHHS since June. Call 524-3252, or visit during usual opening hours. Tues/Thurs/Fri/Sat. Check www.nhhumane.org

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, November 15, 2012— Page 29
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: Last May, my children’s father committed suicide. He and I had split up two years before because of his violent ways. Despite my marrying another man, I still cared for my ex and worried about his welfare. I would even sneak him food and pay his electric bill behind my husband’s back. My husband occasionally would forbid my kids and me from having contact with my ex. He had a point. My ex and I had attempted to reconcile in April, but I couldn’t do it. During the drive back to my husband, my ex phoned and begged me to return. I told him I was afraid of him. He yelled, “Nobody will ever have to worry about me anymore.” Twenty minutes later, I received a call from his brother, who found him dead. I blame myself. His family does, too. I didn’t even go to his funeral, because some of his family members had threatened to kill me if I showed up. I feel terrible for my kids and don’t know how to cope. What should I do? Will my kids be OK? -- Distraught Ex Dear Distraught: We are so sorry that you are experiencing this tragedy, but please know that you are not responsible for your ex’s decision to end his life. He sounds like a troubled soul who didn’t believe he had any other way out. Please contact Survivors of Suicide (survivorsofsuicide.com) and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org) to find a support group for you and your children. They will be OK, but they could use some help, and they will need you to guide them. Dear Annie: I am a 56-year-old professional man in nonprofit work. I am outgoing and reasonably intelligent, have a great sense of humor and generally like people. My observation and experience is that most men, especially over 40, have a difficult time making new friends. The married ones tend to
rely on their wives. Others rely on family or long-term friendships. But men like me who don’t have wives, whose parents have died, who have no siblings or children, and whose old friends have moved away find it awkward and difficult to reach out. My trainer is 45, outgoing, happily married with two great children, has both sets of parents still alive, is active in church, etc., and even he says he doesn’t know how to make new friends. I realize there is no one-answer-fits-all, but I’d sure like to know what you and your readers suggest for those of us who are trying to get out of the house, but don’t know where to go. -- Not Anti-Social or Addicted to the Internet Dear Not: Find an activity that you enjoy and that involves other people. Look for community theater or choral groups. Volunteer at hospitals, schools, animal shelters, soup kitchens or for a political candidate. Park districts and local colleges may offer night classes for those who want to improve their education. See whether your health club has a regular spin class or an adult basketball team. If you can afford to travel, sign up for a group tour. We also recommend meetup.com, which facilitates finding people with similar interests of any kind. If our readers have more to add, we’re happy to print additional suggestions. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated in the Midwest,” who is conflicted about his fiancee’s four kids and their lack of responsibility around the house. I’d tell him not to consider marrying that woman until her children are grown. I married a man who had custody of two spoiled brats. He and I got along wonderfully, but with his two teenage kids in the mix, it was pure torture. The best day of my life was when the oldest left and the youngest moved to her mother’s. -- Midwest Evil Stepmom

Humane Society hosting Adopt-a-thon on Black Friday at Belknap Mall BELMONT — Black Friday will be a special day for all homeless creatures at the Belknap Mall the day after Thanksgiving as New Hampshire Humane Society hosts its annual Adopt-A-Thon. The AdoptA-thon now in its fourth year at the Mall, has gained momentum over time with over two hundred eager adopters looking for their next pet last year, more are expected this year. Paige Quigley, manager for Mall owners the Wilder Company, said “we are very excited to host the NH Humane Society for the fourth year of their very successful Adopt A Thon. Being part of such a large number of animals finding wonderful homes brings a special kind of cheer to the Mall”. Franklin based Big Cat Coffees & Perk At Work will be handing out hot beverages to sleepy mall visitors and prospective adopters. Hand crafted Trees for Life pet ribbons will be available thanks to local artist Allison Clymer. Doors open at 11a.m with final adoptions processed until 4p.m. Adoption fees for this one day event are highly competitive, ranging from $25-$50 for cats and $200-$250 for dogs depending on their age. Adoption fees include microchip, vaccines, spay and neuter services, and pet food. Same day adoptions will be speedily conducted with the following paperwork in hand: 1) proof of homeownership or rental/lease agreement 2) current pet vaccination history showing up to date rabies certification 3) Human hearts brimming with love and a solid

commitment to pet ownership. 4) Adopters must be over 21. Shelter spokesperson, Marylee Gorham said “we are thrilled to bring the animals out into the public on Black Friday, a highly effective way to connect homeless animals with new families”. Gorham stated “this event has quite the following with folks eagerly awaiting the day. We willingly come out into the public domain to promote our adoptions, since many animals originate from high kill states like Alabama and Indi-
ana, it’s literally a lifesaver for these little creatures.” New Hampshire Humane Society is a private non profit animal welfare agency pledged to care for the lost, abandoned, abused and neglect animals in the Lakes Region. No animal is euthanized for time or space constraints. To view animals available for adoption check the NH Humane Society website www.nhhumane.org or call 5243252 for details prior to Black Friday. The shelter will be closed on Friday but open on Saturday, November 24.
LHS soccer teams practice with middle schoolers
The Laconia High School varsity girls’ soccer and boys’ JV soccer teams recently practiced and scrimmaged with the Laconia Middle School girls and boys A and B teams. Bringing the entire Laconia school district soccer program together, there were a total of 73 athletes and six coaches. The practice allowed the middle school soccer players to see what they have to look forward to, and it showed the high school students just how far they have come. (Courtesy photo)
