LACONIA — Fire Chief Ken Erickson confirmed yesterday that one of the 39 New Hampshire EMTs who are facing state administrative charges for falsifying re-certification credentials was employed by the city.

He said the unnamed individual was not employed by the city when he falsified his re-certification and no longer works for the Laconia Fire Department.

“The issues in Laconia have been resolved,” Erickson said without elaborating.

The revelation comes in the wake of an investigation that began in Massachusetts into Leo Nault of Concord — a certified instructor who was employed by an independent ambulance company and who allegedly falsified names of EMTs who attending his refresher courses.

Nault was employed

Man accused of shooting TV over Palin dance MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A rural Wisconsin man apparently enraged by Bristol Palin’s “Dancing with the Stars” routine blasted his television with a shotgun, leading to an all-night standoff with a SWAT team, investigators said.

Steven Cowan, 67, was arrested Tuesday morning after officers coaxed him out of his house in Vermont, a farming community near Madison. Cowan, who is accused of threatening his wife with the gun after destroying the television, appeared in a Madison courtroom Wednesday on a charge of second-degree reckless endangerment. His bail was set at $1,500.

Cowan’s attorney, Jonas Bednarek, declined to comment. Cowan’s wife, Janice, told investigators that her husband suffers from bipolar disorder and had threatened her life in the past.

According to court documents, Janice Cowan said her husband came home Monday from the bar and had a beer with dinner before they settled down to watch “Dancing with the Stars.”

When Palin, the 20-yearold daughter of tea party favorite Sarah Palin, began her routine, Cowan jumped up and began swearing, saying something like “The (expletive) politics.” His wife said he was upset that a political figure’s daughter was dancing on TV even though he felt she

Feds holding firm on airport body scan & pat-down policies WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite a deluge of complaints over intrusive pat-downs and revealing airport scans, the government is betting Americans would rather fly safe than untouched. “I’m not going to change those policies,” the nation’s transportation security chief declared Wednesday.

Responded a lawmaker: “I wouldn’t want my wife to be touched in the way that these folks are being touched.”

The debate over where to strike the balance between privacy and security, in motion since new safety measures took effect after the 2001 terrorist attacks, has intensified with the debut of pat-downs that are more thorough, and invasive, than before, and the spread of full-body image scans.

A week before some of the busiest flying days of the year, some passengers are refusing the regimen, many more are complaining and the aviation industry is caught in the middle.

In Florida, the Orlando Sanford Airport, which handles 2 million passengers a year,

now plans to replace “testy” Transportation Security Administration screeners with private contractors, and two veteran commercial pilots are refusing to fly out of airports using the procedures.

“The outcry is huge,” Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison told the TSA administrator, John Pistole, at a Capitol Hill hearing. “I know that you’re aware of it. But we’ve got to see some action.”

Pistole conceded “reasonable people can disagree” on how to properly balance safety at the nation’s airports but he asserted the new security measures are necessary because of intelligence on latest attack methods that might be used by terrorists.

Pistole was a senior FBI officer last Christmas when an al-Qaida operative made it onto a Chicago-bound plane with explosives stuffed in his underwear. The explosive misfired, causing injury only to the wearer.

As TSA chief since the summer, Pistole has reviewed reports that found under-

cover agents were able to slip through airport security because pat-downs were not thorough enough.

Given a choice between a planeload of screened passengers and a flight with no lines or security checks, he told senators, “I think everybody will want to opt for the screening with the assurance that that flight is safe and secure.”

The new hands-on searches are used for passengers who don’t want the fullbody scans, or when something suspicious shows in screening, or on rare occasions, randomly. They can take two minutes per passenger and involve sliding of the hands along the length of the body, along thighs and near the groin and breasts.

The new scans show naked images of the passenger’s body, without the face, to a screener who is in a different location and does not know the identity of the traveler.

The U.S. has nearly 400 of the advanced imaging machines deployed at 70 airports, growing to 1,000 machines next year.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — History, the GOP, the tea party, Sarah Palin and her own mouthful of a name worked against her. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski conquered them all Wednesday, becoming the first Senate candidate in more than 50 years to win a write-in campaign.

The victory is a remarkable comeback for Murkowski, who lost to political newcomer Joe Miller in the GOP primary, and a humbling moment for Palin, the former Alaska

governor, 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate and Murkowski nemesis whose support was not enough to get Miller through an election in her own backyard.

The outcome became clear after a tedious week of counting handwritten ballots.

Alaska election officials confirmed they had only about 700 votes left to count, with Murkowski ahead by 10,400 votes. Miller has challenged 8,153 of the ballots counted for Murkowski, but he would still be behind

even if he won every challenge.

Murkowski flew back from Washington, D.C., to Alaska on Wednesday, greeted by about 50 cheering supporters hours before an evening rally in Anchorage. She said the numbers gave her confidence in declaring victory.

Miller said he may ask for a recount.

Miller has maintained he’ll stop fighting if the math doesn’t work in his favor; while he told Fox News he was “less cautiously optimistic than I was before,”

When ‘local’ is not LOCAL The signature phrase of America’s booming good food movement has been expanded from “organic” to “local and sustainable.”

Good! The phrase suggests great quality, strong environmental stewardship and a commitment to keeping our food dollars in the local economy. If you support the localeconomies movement, as I do, no doubt you’ll be thrilled to hear that a new, local food store is coming soon to your neighborhood. In fact, it’s even named Neighborhood Market.

Only, it’s not. It’s a Walmart.

Yes, the $400-billion-a-year retail behemoth, with 2-million employees laboring in 8,500 stores spread around the globe, now is putting on a “local” mask. The giant is promising to buy 9-percent of the produce it’ll sell from local farmers. Big whoopie.

This means that 91-percent of the foodstuffs offered in its “Neighborhood” chain will come from Wayawayland. Walmart is to local what near beer is to beer. Near beer is not beer ... and Walmart is not local.

But even the 9-percent number is a deceit, for Walmart says that it defines “local” as grown in the same state. Excuse me, but in California, Florida, Texas and other such sizable states, that can be a mighty long truck-haul away. Not exactly what us locals would call “local.”

As for being sustainable, Walmart is bragging about a billion-dollar investment it’ll make to shrink its environmental footprint a bit.

That’s a nice gesture, but come on, this outfit has humongous feet that bestride the whole world, and even a billion bucks won’t shrink that footprint. Also, it’s made no commitment to organic production, nor did it rule out peddling genetically engineered Frankenfoods as part of its “sustainability” gimmick.

Who does Walmart think it’s fooling? It’s not coming to our neighborhoods to be local and sustainable, but to drive out our homegrown enterprises and extract profits from our own communities.

Flimflamming seems to be the favorite corporate sport these days, even by outfits that pose as ethical paragons. For instance, if you Google Google, you might learn that this Internet powerhouse once proudly promised to do no evil. In CorporateWorld, however, ethics are

often discarded like an old suit that no longer fits. Thus, this $24-billiona-year, do-no-evil corporation is now a voracious tax-dodger.

A Bloomberg News reporter reveals that Google transfers a big chunk of its annual profits to a subsidiary in Ireland. Then, prior to tax time, Google funnels these profits into a shell corporation in the Netherlands, from which they are bounced into yet another shell corporation in Bermuda. It’s not natural beauty that draws Google to the islands, but the fact that Bermuda assesses no taxes on corporate profits. Bottom line: Google escapes paying a billion dollars a year that it ethically owes in U.S. taxes.

Meanwhile, such computer powers as Cisco and Oracle are lobbying furiously to reprise a tax flimflam that multinational corporations pulled on us during the George W. Bush regime. They were allowed to pay a mere 5-percent tax rate on profits they had stashed abroad — in exchange for pledging to invest this money in American factories and jobs. They got their tax break, then reneged on their job-creation promise, with many corporations actually grabbing the giveaway while firing employees.

Now, they’re demanding another tax holiday in return for bringing home a trillion dollars in profits they’ve squirreled away in foreign tax havens. Amazingly, like rubes at a medicine show, Republicans in Congress are swallowing this same old snake oil, pushing legislation to let super-rich corporations do it to us again.

Before GOP leaders give in, they should recall the words of George W., the guy who enabled the first scam. “Fool me once, shame on — shame on you,” he said. “Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”

Of course, it’s us taxpayers who’ll get shafted by this corporate tomfoolery.

Obama’s transcripts have never been made available. Obama is keeping his records under raps. Root states, “I don’t have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever!”

LETTERS Professor can’t fathom the emergence of an evil, global power To the editor, Not surprisingly, a fairly cogent argument by “the professor” in his November 12 letter to the Sun was nothing more than a literary Trojan horse for his vision of a one world order, in my opinion. Yes, we have all too frequently sold arms with the best of intentions only to have them fall into the hands of the bad guys. A pernicious problem that needs real bipartisan attention to be sure. I’m just not sure that I’m ready to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. At least not as long as he tippytoes around your true desire of global government — “As long as we cling to antiquated notions of sovereignty, we will be plagued by the primitive institution of war.” Pleasing platitudes of pacifism full of promise yet devoid of substance and historical reality that cause me to question how much he respects our country’s legacy.

Is it possible that you, Professor Sandy, are pretending to be the protective fourth estate while surreptitiously playing the part of the fifth column intent on subjugating our sovereignty from within? Are you telling us you agree with the socialists and communists in our government who are attempting to do just that? If so sir, then please have the integrity to openly reveal your “ideal” goals for our country rather than timidly treating your delirious desire for a one world government like a third rail conundrum. Don’t you want to take away guns from all law abiding citizens as implied by your reference to a “strong international police force”?

Is it not your belief that, not ready for prime time, expensive green technologies is where taxpayer money should be spent rather than missile defense?

Do you not believe in American exceptionalism only in the context of it being an impediment to a one world order and that George Soros is one of your heroes?

War is ugly and destructive and should be avoided when government is not in it to win and ties the hands of incredibly brave soldiers who are willing to give up their lives for our free-

doms and liberty. That we can agree on. But with all do respect, how do you make peace by being nice to the likes of Iran, North Korea, Russia, China and Venezuela? Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but our president’s kid glove diplomacy has caused many nations around the world to see us as a weakened version of a United States, long viewed as the protector of liberty and democracy. I prefer Churchill’s rendition of America’s resolve — “rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm”.

So, out with it professor, you do dream of a Utopian global community where peace reigns supreme, correct?

Where the biggest threat to your tranquil society is those pesky unicorns with their sharp horns and that scary grinch. In your delusional, secluded, naive mind, seemingly tethered to a belief that humanitarian intervention will rid us of all the world’s ills, you can’t fathom the evil emergence of a global, imperialistic power. At least, that is how I view your real intent of promoting the surreptitious demise of this great Republic. Thank God those of your ilk are still a distinct minority.

I’m with Marco Rubio in believing that the United States of America is the greatest country in the world.

Oh yes, it is far from perfect, but it is, and remains, the last best hope on earth. Just ask so, so many countries that count on us remaining that way. I would be pleased to be wrong about you, Professor Leo Sandy, and issue an apology forthwith. I await your critical clarification with bated breath. In the meantime, let me make this crystal clear to you sir — all the true patriots in this country take our sovereignty as something to fight and die for. To quote Ronald Reagan: “No arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and free women”. Yes, dear professor, when it comes to the United States of America, sovereignty is sacrosanct. I’ll bet my life on it.

LETTERS

ICE 1/2 PR R DINNE

State has changed no-wake-zones to anything goes a number of times To the editor, Mr. Chase should be nominated for Safety Commissioner or perhaps Hearings Supervisor due to the fact that the present office holders are opening a can of worms that could go back as much as 50 plus years. They seem to think they can change their minds when someone squawks that they didn’t have time to read the hearing notices in the only statewide newspaper and this malarkey about only residents can sign petitions but anybody in the entire state can file appeals against rulings is a drastic mis-interpretation.

Many lake users went to the appeals hearing in Tuftonboro but weren’t allowed to speak unless we were appellants and yet we were told that we all own Lake Winnipesaukee.

Something is drastically wrong with this picture. As a boater who uses the “Barber Pole” passage on occasion, I believe someone should get out the measuring stick; the channel is not wide enough to allow two vessels going in opposite, or the same, ways the 450-foot clearance to allow speeds up to 45-mph by the current law, nor does it allow PWC’s the 600 foot clearance to exceed headway speeds. However we were not allowed to bring this information forward during the appeals hearing. There are many areas on the lake that don’t allow these clearances and yet the Safety

Department has changed them from “No-Wake-Zones” to do what ever you please zones a number of times. One that comes to mind is the passage in Glendale between Pig Island and Locke Island that for many years was a “No-Wake-Zone”, at least from 1969 through the late 1970s and then one year it did not appear on the chart due to a typographical error so the Marine Patrol removed the NWZ indicators and now boats literally fly through the area defying the 150 foot separation requirement as well as the need to slow to headway speed. This area is just around the corner from Marine Patrol Headquarters.

We might ask who verified the signatures for residency that were supplied, by NH Recreational Boaters Association, on petitions for the Eagle Island NWZ that was put into place a year or three ago ? And why aren’t Center Harbor and Wolfeboro bays as well protected with NWZ’s as are Alton and Meredith bays ? If one of the Department of Safety responsibilities is to provide for the safety of all users of Lake Winnipesaukee when and how, other than college kids riding around in patrol boats, don’t they address these issues rather than waiting for the populace to request some actions that are so glaringly obvious ?

Lakes Region soap for Haiti drive will get started with meeting tonight To the editor, The people of Haiti are dying for a lot of reasons. The earthquake in January and Hurricane Tomas in November has dealt an already struggling country a severe blow. Now, cholera threatens and more people are dying simply because they have no soap and water to wash their hands.

There are many reasons to be discouraged by world events and believe that you can do nothing to help. But, as fellow humans, how can we accept the fact that people, anywhere, are dying simply because they can not wash their hands?

This event has pushed me over the edge and I need to do something about it. I need your help. I am announcing a new challenge to the Lakes Region: Wash Their Hands, Save Their Lives.

LETTERS We can no longer allow ourselves to spend now & worry later To the editor, The next New Hampshire Legislature will face a budget shortfall.

That’s a given. Governor Lynch has told us that the shortfall will be about $300-million. The opposition party places the number at about $900-million. Mr. Arlinghaus thinks the truth is about $600-million. The thing for us, the taxpayers, to watch is how the Legislature covers the shortfall.

Currently spending must be balanced by estimating the amount of money

each existing tax and fee will raise.

Politicians are always tempted to make their job easier by using rosy revenue estimates to mitigate the need for tough decisions about spending.

The fiscally responsible course of action is to balance the budget without gimmicks. One of the issues facing the state is the way in which we declare the budget balanced. We balance projected revenue against authorized expenditures. That is just poor management. It controls neither revenues

nor expenditures. We cannot continue to decide what we want to spend then make up a number to say the budget is balanced. That’s throwing the horse over the fence some hay.

Mr. Arlinghaus thinks the base of any budget in New Hampshire is the revenue estimate. That is true, according to the way New Hampshire does it’s budget. I posit to you that it is actually the problem. We should not base the state’s budget on fictitious numbers that can be politically influenced. A change is needed to the system.

In order to put the financial house in order the Legislature needs to start the process by changing how the revenue component is determined. Rather that accepting a politically influenced revenue number based on what we think we should be able to take in; we need to change the process so that the revenue number comes from a calculation of 95-percent of the actual revenue taken in the prior period. No spending can be authorized in excess of that number. Excess revenues can be added to the spending in the next period or placed in reserve or applied to reducing the unfunded liabilities which the state has in abundance.

The governor has suggested that if spending grows at 4-percent, we’ll be fine. Tempting as that siren’s song may be we need to have the Legislature act based on something more substantial than the musings of a political professional. Mr. Arlinghaus has opined that after years of uncertainty about revenues, and with an economy that may be recovering slowly the foundation of any budget has to be a cautious revenue estimate. That is too generous an approach.

Mr. Arlinghaus thinks the first message the Legislature should send is that increased taxes and fees are not on the table. Taxes are a price on economic activity. Raising the price on any economic activity discourages it. And there is no economic activity we should discourage in this difficult economy. That is great political posturing but not sound policy. It is time to be adult in our approach. We need to recognize the need to pay for what we want. We need to pay for it when we buy it.

We can no longer allow ourselves to

spend now and worry about paying later. We need to expect less and to pay more to get it. That’s right we need to forget about the pledge. That means we need to understand that a balanced budget has two components: revenue and expenditures. Pledging to not tax is to commit ourselves to budget deficit ad nauseum. It is political grandstanding. It is pandering.

We need to balance the state’s budget without gimmicks. To reach that goal, every department, every branch of state government and every major program of state government must share in the solution. That does not mean equally. Some departments bore disproportionate shares of the pain the last two years while others went untouched.

Every area of state government will need to be asked to make significant adjustments. Austerity is necessary.

It is not a question of fairness. There will be a great hue and cry. Expect a great wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Everyone will want their ox to be spared. The legislative and executive branches must cut their own budgets every bit as much as they cut the rest of government.

Mr. Arlinghaus correctly observes that it is likely that every department head, once he knows that his total budget will be reduced by, say, 15-percent, will have ideas for which cuts are a higher priority. Department heads who think that level funding is possible may be less helpful than if they know cuts will be made whether they cooperate or not.

The governor must also be involved.

The governor has been working for months on prospective budget cuts, and he has the resources of the entire executive branch, including the managers of every department and program of state government. The total cuts he has talked about are 5-percent of the budget. That is not enough to balance the budget by itself. However, to find 5-percent, you have to consider 10 or 15-percent worth of cuts. Commissioners know their departments better than anyone. It would be foolhardy not to look at their worksheets as a starting point for discussion.

Fixing the budget won’t be easy. see next page

LETTERS A football program like the one in Gilford deserves great praise To the editor, Last Saturday afternoon marked the culmination of seven years of work for coaches, student athletes, parents, volunteers, businesses and residents.

After only seven years since its creation, the Gilford High School football team fought hard all season with only 29 players to make it to the Class VI State Championship game. Even though, our boys came up short on the field that day, these young men have achieved so much more than what the scoreboard read. Our football team has some of the finest young men in our whole community. Their hard work and dedication has given them abilities that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. In a time where so many communities in America struggle with their youth, our football players have brought nothing but pride to our community. This season showed the integrity, dedication and dependability our future men posses. Through it all, they respected their leaders and worked together fervently.

Our coaching staff through the years, have given up their personal time from their families to teach, develop and train our boys on the importance of academics, teamwork, discipline, unselfishness, dedication, commitment and exercise. As many of you know, football is a six day a week commitment and only through the sacrifices of our coaches could

the program succeed. I would like to thank coaches Mark Brewer, Scott LaLiberte, Norm Harris, Kurt Webber, John Sands, Craig Brewer, Dale Curtis, Bruce Cole, Joe Palisi and countless other coaches. The lessons learned from their seasons of football, coached over the years by these good role models, has set the ground work for these young men to become good and principled men.

A big thanks also goes out to Lou Athanas who was one of the founders of the program, Delores Seagar who does so much behind the scenes, the local businesses who donated services and products, parents who volunteered to park cars, man the concession stands, drive the boys to practices and games and so much more, and to the residents who have donated to the program. This community has come together to make our football program an envy of other schools.

Football is a sport that gives young men, who may not otherwise strive in other fall sports, an opportunity to achieve goals beyond their own expectations. A program like this deserves great praise. One only hopes, that this program will grow exponentially from this past great year. We look forward to more years of seeing this energetic program for our youth grow in our community. Congratulations to our 29 players who succeeded on and off the field.

I’m no racist, I do my own homework & I can look past skin color To the editor, Nice try Dave Kuether, but such transparent liberal tactics as “you’re a racist” have grown old, and won’t work anymore. Calling us names just because we don’t blindly worship your messiah is like the pot calling the kettle black. I did not use skin color in my voting decision like you obviously did. I am not the racist here. I do my own homework and think for myself and I can look past skin color.

George H.W. Bush’s grandmother never boasted about attending his birth in another country. There is no national monument in another country commemorating Ronald Reagan’s birth there. There are no authenticated documents showing that George W. was a citizen of another country, and he never traveled to Pakistan under the passport of another country. Jimmy Carter never received a scholarship as a “foreign student”.

When Bill Clinton was elected, no other countries headlined their papers with news that their native son was now U.S. president. And even though he is white, John McCain’s birthplace and qualifications were the subject of a thorough Congressional investigation, where they pored over well-documented evidence under the power of subpoena, and agreed that his birth was on the U.S. military base in Panama where his father was serv-

ing, and indeed qualified him to hold our highest office. John never tried to smokescreen his birth with Photoshopped documents, and never spent a million dollars fighting lawsuits on technicalities rather than simply cough up a $40-vault-copy birth certificate. Doesn’t Obama deserve the same scrutiny as McCain, a war hero and 24-year US senator? Or should we give Obama a pass just because of his skin color? And we’re the racists?

The most telling part about your letter is that you call Factcheck.org “non-partisan”... and then you accuse me of naivety? Do you even know who they are, who owns them, or what their mission is? Didn’t you wonder why the only entity that Obama showed that Photoshopped “Certificate of Live Birth” to was this Annenberg derivative? Do you know who Annenberg is?

Do you know of Obama’s affiliations with them? Of Bill Ayer’s affiliations with them? Yet I need to “grow up”?

And do you even know what a “birth certificate” is? Have you ever tried to get a driver’s license with a “Certificate of Live Birth”, or tried to enter the military with one? Or wondered why the copy of his supposed “Certificate of Live Birth” had evidence of being Photoshopped? Why it gives no attending doctor and lacks the usual signatures?

And I’m the one that needs to grow see next page

from preceding page Balancing it without gimmicks will require an actual reduction in state spending, something achieved only once in the last 70 years. What’s more, that reduction will have to be $525-million below today’s levels. Getting there will

require all politicians, all departments, all branches, and no politics.

Thanks to the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy and it’s president, Charles Arlinghaus, Marc Abear Meredith

Heritage Commission vents frustration with Dunkin’ Donuts owner but will hold fire for now

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Heritage Commission is fast losing patience with Greg Nolan of Cafua Management, Inc., who nearly three years ago undertook to paint the Squire Clark House (a.k.a. Hathaway House) which stands on the lot on Union Avenue where the firm last year built a Dunkin’ Donuts outlet.

Last month Pam Clark, who chairs the commission, contemplated picketing the property and when the commission met last evening Charlie St. Clair suggested “getting together to educate the customers of Dunkin Donuts about other places where you can get good coffee and donuts in Laconia.” Stressing that it would not be appropriate for the commission to take action, he said that individuals could distribute flyers to patrons of Dunkin Donuts explaining the value of the Squire Clark House and listing other coffee shops.

Clark began by telling members that she was “discouraged” by her recent conversations with Nolan.

After she was recently overheard asking Police Chief Mike Moyer about the prospect of picketing, The Daily Sun contacted Nolan. He in turn promptly called Clark to say the estimates he received for painting the building were excessive and suggest she inquire whether students from the Huot Technical Center could do the job. Clark said that she spoke with Dave Dupuis at the center only to find that because students are unable to work with lead paint they could not take on the project.

Clark said that after expressing her frustration in an article that appeared in the Sun earlier this month she was approached by a contractor interested in doing the work. She has since been seeking to put the contractor in touch with Nolan. Likewise, she said that John Thompson of JLT Painting, whose sampling of paint chips determined the original color of the house, submitted a bid for the work from preceding page up? How old are you?

People have taken the blinders off now Dave. No more crying “racist” and getting us to back down.

Your emperor has no clothes...and apparently has no U.S. birth certificate. Grow up yourself.

to Nolan, but has yet to receive a reply. “I’m hoping something will happen,” she said.

Clark had intended to propose that the commission stage a demonstration at the Squire Clark House, but decided against it after speaking with City Manager Eileen Cabanel and Planning Director Shanna Saunders.

Cabanel reminded her that the commission had no authority to either compel Cafua Management to paint the building or prevent the firm from demolishing it and cautioned that by staging a demonstration the commission could be “overstepping its bounds.”

Saunders said that she intended to invite Nolan to the meeting of the Planning Board on December 14 to explain why nothing has been done to improve the building. When the Planning Board approved the construction of the Dunkin’ Donuts outlet it attached a condition that the company not demolish the Squire Clark House and submit a written plan to the Planning Department detailing how it would bring the building’s neglected exterior into compliance with city building codes. At the same time, Nolan verbally assured the Heritage Commission that he would paint the exterior of the historic building.

While St. Clair favored taking action, City Councilor Ava Doyle (Ward 1) urged prudence. She remarked that Nolan, who originally planned to demolish the Squire Clark House and build a strip mall with a Dunkin’ Donuts store as anchor, bowed to public pressure and agreed to preserve the historic building. Moreover, she noted that the economy was thriving when he undertook to improve the building and wondered if the recession had affected his plans.

“Try talking to Nolan one more time,” Doyle said, noting that he has been asked to appear before the Planning Board. “If you jump the gun without knowing all the facts, you may come out with egg on your face.”

Clark said that Nolan has yet to indicate that he will accept Saunder’s invitation to explain himself to the Planning Board, but urged the members of the commission to prepare to “be there in force.”

Federal government will assist in effort to restore channel for Jewett Brook

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — With federal funding, the Army Corps of Engineers, in partnership with the Department of Public Works and Dubois & King, Inc., has begun studying Jewett Brook in anticipation of restoring its capacity to carry water in order to lessen the risk of flooding at Normandin Square.

Luke Powell, assistant director of public works, began seeking funding for the study in 2008. Last year, Senator Judd Gregg (R-New Hampshire), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, secured some $100,000 for the study, but the project stalled when federal officials determined that the brook failed to qualify for funding from either the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the Army Corps of Engineers, because its 10-year flood flows fell far short of the specified threshold of 800-cubic-feet-per-second. Powell said yesterday that during the past summer the Army Corps of Engineers reconsidered and agreed to undertake the work.

Jewett Brook rises in Gilford, between Swain Road and Liberty Hill Road south of Saltmarsh Pond. Near the entrance to the Lakes Business Park on Gilford Avenue, Jewett Brook is joined by an unnamed brook that begins just north of Route 11-A east of the bypass. The brook parallels Gilford Avenue, passes under Union Avenue, flows beside then beneath Normandin Square Apartments (formerly the Scott-Williams factory), runs underneath Davis Place and then empties into the Winnipesaukee River about 250 yards above Avery Dam. In October 2005 and twice since then heavy rain-

fall led to flooding, which closed Normandin Square to traffic and prompted the evacuation of residents of lower Winter Street, Davis Place and Union Avenue. Powell said that the flooding has not only caused road closures and property damage but also added significantly to the accumulated sediments in the lower reaches of the brook — especially under Union Avenue and Normandin Square Apartments — decreasing its capacity to carry water and increasing the likelihood of repeated flooding.

The study will consist of two analysis. The first, a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis that began in September, will estimate the hydraulic capacity of the brook by measuring the accumulated sediments and eroded banks and estimating peak flows for 2,

10, 25, 50 and 100-year storm events. The second, a geomorphic analysis of the watershed of Jewett Brook, will reach into Gilford to assess the actual and potential impacts of residential and commercial development on downstream flows. Powell anticipates that the geomorphic analysis will be completed next month and the remainder of the work finished by next spring. The study is required to develop a plan for restoring the capacity of the brook without compromising its natural characteristics.

Powell said that there are indications that the brook passes over a concrete bed beneath the Normandin Square Apartments, which lies under perhaps three-feet of accumulated sediment. He expects similar conditions will be found where the brook passes underneath Union Avenue. Although the New Hamphire Department of Environmental Services has expressed concerns about dredging the brook in the past, Powell said that the agency has begun to look more favorably on the prospects of clearing a channel. He said that “passive sediment extraction,” a technique that prevents increased turbidity, would lessen the impact of dredging on the environment.

Designating the brook as impaired would qualify a project to restore it for federal matching funds equal to 60-percent of the total cost through the Clean Water Act. Powell was reluctant to estimate the cost of a restoration project, but said that the study would position the department to begin seeking funding for the work.

EMT from page one Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire.

In New Hampshire and Massachusetts, EMTs are required to renew their certifications every two years.

Each EMT takes a refresher course offered by a certified instructor or is re-certified within his or her own department.

Erickson said in the case of this one employee, he was re-certified a number of years ago through Nault, before he worked in the city. During the time he worked for Laconia, he was re-certified through Laconia’s own training program as are all of the city EMTs. When Erickson realized one of his former employee’s certifications had been falsified, the man was apparently fired.

“We’ve been doing in-house recertification for years,” Erickson said adding that Deputy Chief Shawn Riley was hired for that specific purpose.

He said the department recently finished 48 hours of training for paramedics and is just finishing the EMT intermediate training.

“This is just the training mandated by law. We also have daily ongoing training,” Erickson said.

Jim Van Dongen, a spokesman for

the N.H. Department of Safety said yesterday the New Hampshire portion of the investigation began in May of this year.

He said the names of 86 New Hampshire EMTs were initially brought to the attention of New Hampshire administrators and about six of them were immediately cleared.

“Thirty-nine [EMTs] have had their licenses suspended on 42 counts,” Van Dongen said.

He said there are three distinct administrative charges each possibly faces. Fraudulently securing a license and knowingly misleading or representing credentials to engage in a practice that could be detrimental to the public are charges that can result in a license suspension of up to one year for each infraction.

In addition, Van Dongen said each violator could face a 90-day ethics suspension.

Van Dongen said he believes the majority of the offenders are in the areas of New Hampshire that border Massachusetts, especially Rockingham County.

While Nault has been criminally indicted in Massachusetts, Van Dongen said nobody in New Hampshire is being criminally charged.

“Nobody’s going to jail. Unless it’s in Massachusetts,” he said.

CARROLL from page one Janet Thomas Carroll for 43 years.

He is the father of four and is the founder and chair of PACT or Parents and Children Together, serves on the Lakes Region Community College Advisory Committee and is on the board of the Youth Services Bureau.

Carroll has served on the N.H. Advisory Board to the Governor on Juvenile Justice and has been the state’s prosecutorial representative for the Committee on N.H. Drug Courts.

Among his many awards for community service is the Norman Marsh Award for Leadership, the Lakes Region Boys and Girls Club (of which he was a founder) award for Vision of Youth of the Lakes Region, and the James R. Irwin Award of the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce for Community Service.

In making this nomination, Lynch said Carroll has “demonstrated a commitment to our system of justice and to the people of the state of New Hampshire.”

Lynch’s Press Secretary Colin Manning said there will be a public hearing on Carroll’s nomination and then the executive council will vote.

He said the next Executive Council meeting is scheduled for Dec. 8. When asked if his nomination could proceed that quickly, Manning said, “Sure.”

Carroll, a Democrat, is finishing his second term as Belknap County prosecutor. He succeeded Republican Lauren Nother who left to join the State Office of the Attorney General.

He was just re-elected to a third term.

It is unclear what procedure would be used to fill the position of County Attorney should Carroll be confirmed and assume the bench before the end of the year because the term for which he was just elected does not begin until Jan. 1. The Belknap County Convention — or the 18 state represenatives from the county — is charged with appointing people to fill the remainder of unexpired terms of elected county officials who vacate their offices.

SOFTBALL from page one rently circulating, however, suggest that Laconia will follow suit next year, while a woman in Belmont is hoping to start a Babe Ruth League-affiliated program that will step in and, in her view, offer girls a “more meaningful softball experience.”

The president of Laconia Little League was unavailable yesterday for comment on rumors that the league would no longer offer softball effective with the 2011 season, and other league officials, who would neither confirm or deny the rumor, said the league would make an announcement on December 1 regarding softball.

“Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of focus on softball in New Hampshire anymore,” said Candice Murray, a Belmont resident and parent of a 13-yearold softball player. With the Little

Belmont and Laconia were limited to only playing one another due to the lack of nearby opponents, as the league’s rules only allow them to play against other official Little League teams.

Unlike the baseball programs, which have more robust registration, the softball teams had only a handful of teams in each its “major” and “minor” divisions. Also unlike baseball, the Little League softball programs didn’t have a tournament or all-star game following the regular season.

Then, when the athletes turn 13, they became too old for the Little League teams. There is another local program, the Nor’Easter Softball Club, which fields teams in a number of age groups and plays a series of tournaments during the summer months. Murray said that program isn’t available to all girls due to higher

Federal investigation confirms no sign of any oil in engine of plane that crashed during ‘09 Bike Week

By Michael Kitch GILFORD — A second report of the fatal plane crash during Motorcycle Week 2009, issued by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) last month, confirms the initial finding that investigators discovered only two ounces of oil in the aircraft while providing new information about the circumstances that preceded the flight.

The NTSB has yet to indicate when it will issue its final report specifying the cause of the accident.

Stephen Cardelli, 50, of South Portland, Maine died when his single-engine Cessna 177RG struck trees about a mile from the end of the runway at Laconia Municipal Airport and crashed in the parking lot of the Margate Resort at 4:14 p.m. on June 13, just two minutes after taking off.

In a preliminary report released a month after the accident, investigators reported that “during the examination of the engine approximately two ounces of oil was extracted from the engine oil system. The oil filter was attached to the rear of the engine case and had an install date of June 1, 2009 written on it,” the report continued. “The engine had a fracture that went around the entire longitudinal axis of the engine; however, there was no evidence of oil in the vicinity of the fracture.”

The Cessna was flown to Laconia on May 31 to undergo an annual inspection before being purchased by Cardelli. After the accident, Dave Emerson of Emerson Aviation, one of two fixed-base operators at the airport, confirmed that his firm performed the inspection. It included inspections of the powerplant, propeller and controls as well as the

overall condition of the aircraft and was completed on Friday, June 12, the day before the accident. The plane was certified as airworthy by an authorized airframe and powerplant mechanic, who signed the airframe, propeller and engine logbooks.

The most recent report by the NTSB — designated only as “factual” — reveals that most of the entries on the inspection checklist were initialed by the mechanic who did the work and/or the holder of the Inspection Authorization Certificate (IA) responsible for inspecting the aircraft and the work.

But, the form entitled “Power Plant Operational— Pre-Flight Check” was not initialed. The report does not identify either the mechanic or the IA by name.

The IA told NTSB officials that the windshield was replaced on June 12 and since it required 24 hours to cure, Cardelli was reportedly told the plane would not be ready to fly until 4:30 p.m. the next day.

The mechanic offered to come to the airport on Saturday to perform the required engine run-up with the pilot. According to the IA, Cardelli arrived early and asked one of the linemen to pull the aircraft from the hangar.

The report notes that “the owner (Emerson) of the maintenance facility” explained that “if there is something left to be done the work order is placed on top of the airplane logbooks” and left on the IA’s desk on Friday. He added that after the accident the logbooks were nowhere to be found and he assumed that “the pilot must have come in and got them.” Emerson told investigators that, as the IA, he signed the logbooks, but that rather than do the engine run-up without the windshield, chose to persee next page

In order to create an opportunity for her daughter to continue playing softball, Murray is in the process of attempting to start a Babe Ruth League softball organization that will be open to girls from the ages of 8 to 18 and from the communities of Gilmanton, Laconia and Belmont.

Before the games can begin, though, the organization must first be formed, which includes the election of a board of directors. Murray has scheduled the first meeting of the non-profit organization “Lakes Region Girls Softball” for Wednesday, December 1, at 6 p.m. at the Belmont Fire Department. Those who can’t make the meeting, but are interested in helping to form the organization, may call Murray at 560-3292.

“This program offers players a more meaningful softball experience as the players would be able to form relationships with players from other towns

by playing on the same teams, as well as offer the players a chance to participate in jamborees and tournament games,” said Murray. The teams would be divided into five age brackets and would be able to play against teams from around the state, could participate in tournaments and, in theory, play in regional and even national tournaments if they succeed at the local levels.

The schedule for Lakes Region Girls Softball would likely begin in late April and tournament play could continue through July and, for the most competitive teams, August. Athletes would only be required to participate in a minimum of 10 games, and Murray said the league would be organized so that players could participate simultaneously in a school team as well as the Babe Ruth League.

“It’s a different opportunity, it’s something that needs to be done,” said Murray. If she can find others to help, she’s willing to do it.

Breakup of Manchester high school couple leads to several arrests & postponement of dance MANCHESTER (AP) — A New Hampshire school superintendent says the breakup of a high school couple in Manchester was followed by three arrests, a call for extra police and the postponement of a school dance.

A letter from the principal of Manchester High School West to parents on Tuesday said a “student altercation” on Friday required police at the school

and the postponement of a semiformal dance scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 13.

The breakup led to an exchange of words and ethnic slurs among other students.

The New Hampshire Union Leader says the breakup of the couple — one white and one Hispanic — generated harsh comments on social media websites.

Police are continuing to monitor the cafeteria.

Executive Council approves new head of N.H. Travel & Tourism CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s Executive Council has approved Gov. John Lynch’s nomination for the new head of the state’s Division of Travel and Tourism Development.

The council approved the nomination of Lori Harnois (HAR’noise) at its meeting Wednesday.

Harnois replaces Alice DeSouza, who retired in July.

Harnois, of Epsom, has spent more than 10 years working for the division, including the last eight years as international and domestic marketing manager.

She is a 1998 graduate of the University of New Hampshire with a degree in science, tourism planning and development.

from preceding page form it on Saturday.

The report continues that after taking the plane from its hangar, the lineman watched as Cardelli began a pre-flight inspection of the aircraft. About five minutes later he heard him try several times to start the engine, which he said “backfired and popped” twice before starting after about five minutes. The lineman did not see the plane taxi on to the runway or take off. The report makes no mention of the required engine run-up.

Cardelli was a certified airline transport pilot rated for for both multi-engine and single-engine aircraft with 6,820 hours of flight time as of December 2008, when the Federal Aviation Administration issued his most recent medical certificate. In applying to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) medical certificates since 1979, he repeatedly denied using any medications, ever failing a drug test and using any illegal substance. However, the New Hampshire Medical Examiner found marijuana and amphetamines in Cardelli’s blood and FAA toxicologists found the same substances in his vital organs as well. The report does not suggest he was impaired.

According to the report, approximately two minutes after leaving the runway, the plane struck a pine tree about 55-feet tall with its left wing and horizontal stabilizer, which was sheared off. Witnesses said that the plane then banked to the right and righted itself before hitting a second tree near ground level next to the parking lot, just 5,316 feet from the end of the runway. Numerous witnesses to the crash told investigators there was “no engine noise,” but reported that “large quantities of fuel”

came from the wings and smoke came from the engine area.

Confirming the preliminary finding, the report notes that “approximately 2 ounces of oil were extracted from the entire engine oil system. The oil filler cap was secure,” it continues, “but, the oil quantity indicator rod was devoid of oil.” The engine, a Lycoming IO-360-A1B6D, takes eight quarts of oil, but when full registers somewhat less than that amount on the dipstick.

Nor was there evidence of oil elsewhere. Although the oil sump and oil cooler were displaced by the impact, investigators found “no evidence of preimpact oil loss on any of the fracture surfaces.” Likewise, the oil cooler return hose was fractured where it joins a nipple fitting, but both the line and fitting were also “devoid of oil.” An oil filter, bearing the date of June 1, 2009, “had little oil saturation inside the filter cavity.” The engine crankcase fractured, but “there was no evidence of oil in the vicinity of the fracture.”

The plane was equipped with an engine monitoring system that recorded several indicators, including oil temperature and cylinder head temperature, both of which were increasing 45 second before the recording ended. About 30 seconds before the recording ended cylinder head temperatures were falling while the oil temperature rose to near 195 degrees Fahrenheit, 35 degrees shy of the alarm limit of 230 degrees F. set on the oil temperature probe. When the engine was examined all four connection rod bearings were damaged and seized as well as bore signs of heat distress. see next page

Celtic stars get some rest during 114-83 blowout win BOSTON (AP) — Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers was ready to give his aging starters some rest. First, though, he needed to know that his bench could handle it.

The Boston backups proved themselves capable in the fourth quarter on Wednesday night, expanding a 20-point lead to 37 and helping the Celtics coast to a 114-83 victory over Washington for their most lopsided win of the season. Except for Shaquille O’Neal, who’s battled injuries, all of the starters played a season-low in minutes.

“I know Rajon (Rondo) may have had 30, but other than that I could take those every night,” Rivers said. “That would be terrific.”

Paul Pierce had 23 points, Kevin Garnett scored 18 and Rondo had 12 points with 13 assists before sitting out the entire fourth quarter. O’Neal scored 13 points in 22 minutes.

With one of the oldest lineups in the league, Rivers has remained mindful of the minutes his starters play, restricting their playing time to keep them fresh for what they expect to be a long postseason.

But he’s waited 10 games before resorting to pitch counts.

“You’ve got to get yourself thrown back into the season,” Rivers said. “But now it’s time to get our minutes to where we want them.”

Nick Young scored 20 points for the Wizards, who were without No. 1 overall draft pick John Wall and center Yi Jianlian. Both also missed Tuesday night’s game, a 109-94 victory over Toronto.

“We didn’t play them last night and we won,” Wizards coach Flip Saunders said. “Not much to say.”

The depleted roster helped Boston pull away early and rest their aging starters in its first game back after a four-city road trip.

“I told our guys, ‘They reached right into our chest and just took away our will,’” Saunders said. “We just couldn’t do anything. They passed and shot at will.”

The Celtics have won three in a row and eight of their last nine.

“They’re built for a championship; we’re rebuilding,” said Gilbert Arenas, who scored 20 on Tuesday and just nine on Wednesday. “These are the games when you’re on the playground and you beat somebody up, and then the real bully comes and beats you up. We played great last night ... and then the big fish came and whooped us up.”

It was 89-69 at the end of three quarters, and the Celtics’ bench led by as many as 37 in the fourth.

Delonte West scored 12 points in his first game back from a 10-game suspension, Semih Erden scored nine and Glen “Big Baby” Davis had eight rebounds.

“It was fun for me to be able to sit back and watch these guys. I just found myself being a fan of the game, which I am anyway,” said West, who was punished after pleading guilty to weapons charges. “You realize it’s a championship-caliber team and I’m a part of it.”

Boston trailed 12-9 before scoring 12 of the game’s next 13 points, including three straight inside baskets from O’Neal. Washington cut it to three points in the second quarter against the Boston bench, but the Celtics’ starters returned and scored 12 in a row, this time with Garnett putting in three baskets.

N.H. group forms to push for reduction in motorcycle noise allowance

DOVER — New Hampshire now has an organization dedicated to alleviating noise pollution from motorcycles. Through the efforts of Bill Mitchell and seven other seacoast residents, NHCALM (New Hampshire Citizens Against Loud Motorcycles) has been legally organized as a not-for-profit corpora-

from preceding page Last year, John Haas of Telebyne Mattituck Service, Inc. in Mattituck, New York, which distributes and services Lycoming engines, said that he could not imagine an experienced pilot failing to check the oil pressure and temperature gauges, which if the engine were dry would have shown little or nothing —especially at idle — before taking off. With the engine running at high revolutions per minute at take-off speed, Haas said that the oil pump would be operating at capacity. “If there were some catastrophic failure, like a hose breaking,” he said, “the oil would be all pumped out pretty quick, within minutes, and there would be oil all over the plane.”

tion. The purpose is to raise awareness, seek funds for legal defense, and educate both citizens and the media on the negative consequences of excessive motorcycle noise.

Mitchell, a longtime Seacoast resident and business owner, said, “It is our position that current motorcycle noise levels are unreasonable, allowing a maximum decibel level of 106 dB, and that the protocols for testing are essentially unenforceable. We will work toward a law in New Hampshire requiring motorcycles to comply with the Federal EPA Muffler Law, which requires decibel level of 80dB’s or lower.”

Excessive motorcycle and other man made noise are implicated in serious human health issues, and in the destruction of wildlife, said Mitchell. Similar organizations have been formed in Maine and Massachusetts.

Former Rep. Judith Day (D-North Hampton) has worked for such regulation since before NHCALM was formed, and she is a member. All interested citizens are invited to join. Contributions are welcomed at NHCALM, P.O. Box 358, Dover, NH, 03821.

Hannaford Supermarkets hopes community contributions will “register” for Salvation Army

NEW ENGLAND — Hannaford Supermarkets will offer donation options to benefit The Salvation Army during the month of November at all its stores in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Customers will need to ask the cashier to add a donation of $2 or $5 to their total, which will go directly to the local Salvation Army to serve the

folks in their community. Funds raised through this effort will allow The Salvation Army to provide food, clothing, and holiday assistance to the many families in need.

The Salvation Army expects to serve at least 55,000 people in the three states over the next few months.

Carmel Lancia, Opechee Garden Club president, added, “While our Homes for the Holidays may rival more expensive tours, we are sensitive to the economy and our ticket price remains modest so many might have an opportunity to enjoy this holi-

day experience — the garden club’s gift to the community — while still enabling us to raise funds for scholarships, grants, and support to other non-profits in the Lakes Region”.

Tickets at $10 can be purchased in advance from the Gilford and Laconia Libraries, Kitchen Cravings, the Belknap Mill, and garden club members.

On tour days, tickets are available at the Mill.

PLYMOUTH — The 2010 Hometown Holiday Celebration and Parade, sponsored by Plymouth Rotary, will get the season off to a spirited start Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, December 3 — 5.

“Shop Local” businesses will be decked out for the holidays and joining the celebration with in-store events, specials, or refreshments. PSU’s Operating Staff will present its 3rd Annual Festival of Trees, with beautifully decorated trees on display for viewing at the Senior Center — then raffled off to lucky winners.

The Parade, always a great family outing, will get underway at 5 p.m. on Saturday December 4. Brightly lit floats, high school bands, a color guard, decorated walking groups, decked out animals, dance troupes and, of course, Santa will all be part of the fun.

Park free on the PSU campus at Hyde Hall. Come early to wander Main Street, enjoy Christmas music, look at the lights, and perhaps do a bit of “Shop Local” holiday browsing. Kids will have a great time decorating their own cookies in the “Cookie Creation

with the Elves” tent on the Common.

After the parade, Santa will visit with the kids at the Senior Center while Alex Ray and the Rotarians host a “Chill-buster” Bonfire and Barbeque across the street. Fireworks will cap off the evening.

Skate with Santa at the new PSU ice arena from 1 — 3 p.m. on Sunday, December 5. The VIP from the North Pole will be on the ice for visits and free photographs with good little boys and girls. Come with or without skates. Complimentary skates and light refreshments will be available at this free event.

The last chance to register a business or organization to have an entry in the parade is at the mandatory safety meeting at Pease Public Library at 6 p.m. on Friday, December 12.

For more information, call Kelly Beebee at 254-5536 or e-mail kbeebee@mvsb.com; call Scott Stephens at 536-1001 or e-mail info@plymouthnh.org. For Festival of Trees information, call Brenda Clayton at 535-2847 or e-mail bclayton@mail.plymouth.edu.

Children of Gilmanton School to attend book delivery & storytelling on Monday GILMANTON — A lively and colorful book delivery and storytelling program for all the children at Gilmanton School will be presented at the YearRound Library by the Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF) on Monday, November 22.

CLiF recently awarded a Rural Library Sponsorship to the Library, one of 12 libraries in Vermont and New Hampshire to receive a CLiF sponsorship for fall 2010. As part of this grant, CLiF is donating $2,000 in new children’s books to the public library.

To celebrate the arrival of the new books and reach out to as many local children as possible, CLiF Director Duncan McDougall will visit the library to display all the beautiful books, perform stories, and share his love of reading and writing with the students. More than 150 children from K — 6 will participate.

“What a wonderful gift to the children of Gilmanton!,” said Jenny Stevens, children’s librarian. “To add this many books to our collection at one time is something we would not have been able to do financially. The children will be thrilled to see so many new books! I look forward to their reactions. Thank you, CLiF!” Before the presentation at the library, McDougall will visit Blu Bear Daycare in Loudon to tell stories to the children and give each child the opportunity to choose a book to take home and keep. CLiF will also donate an additional collection of children’s books to

Christmas Wreath and Craft Fair to feature local artisans and unique ambiance in Sanbornton

SANBORNTON — The Sanbornton Historical Society (SHS) will present their annual Christmas Wreath and Craft Fair at the Lane Tavern and Old Town Hall from 9 a.m. — 2 p.m. on Saturday, December 4.

Local artisans will be selling paintings, hand sewn fabric and knit goods, honey and maple products, unique herbs & spices, jams & preserves, breads, cookies & pies, goat milk soaps, wooden toys, handcrafted paper, new and estate jewelry, and much more.

The Lane Tavern will feature a cookie walk with home baked goods. Free coffee and hot mulled cider will be available. Lunch may be purchased for a nominal fee. The Tavern gift shop will be open and a raffle will be held for a door prize.

Christmas wreaths are premium double-faced, thickly fashioned, handcrafted, and range in price from $12 to $42. They have doubled needled balsam tips and are made from the freshest greens. Wreaths are decorated with weather resistant red velvet bows.

They can be pre-ordered; payment with the order is appreciated. Call Dave Witham at 286-9590.

Proceeds from the Christmas Wreath and Craft Fair will go to the continuing maintenance of the historic Lane Tavern and other SHS projects. For general information call Karen Ober at 286-9995 or Linda Salatiello at 286-4526, or e-mail info@lanetavern.org.

Spirit of the season sure to be present at UUSL Holiday Fair on Saturday

LACONIA — The Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia (UUSL) will get the season off to a warm and welcoming start with a Holiday Fair from 9 a.m.

— 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 20.

Enjoy a soup and bread lunch (beginning at 11 a.m.) while enjoying the always popular Cookie Walk or shopping for Holiday goodies such as baked goods, jams & jellies, jewelry, nearly-new items, holiday gift items, books, videos, and CDs. Gift baskets will also be available. In addition, UUSL will be taking orders for Holiday Wreaths.

remain on-site. A new part of a Rural Library Sponsorship, childcare visits give CLiF the opportunity to nurture a love of reading among the younger children in the community and to help the public library establish a relationship with a local childcare center.

“The local public library is the primary source of books for thousands of children who live in rural communities,” explained McDougall. Due to shrinking budgets and rising book costs, many of these libraries possess only limited collections of children’s books, and what volumes they own are often falling apart from over-use or are out-of-date. Library Director Claudette Gill was able to choose the new books from the CLiF booklist, which includes more than 850 titles — classics, Caldecott and Newbery award winners, recent titles, and a wide selection of books by local authors and illustrators.

Gilmanton Year-Round Library’s sponsorship is made possible by a donation from Jockers Family

Foundation.

The sponsorship is part of CLiF’s Rural Library Program, which awards support to 24 rural libraries throughout New Hampshire and Vermont each year.

A 12-year-old nonprofit organization, CLiF’s mission is to nurture a love of reading and writing among rural, at-risk, and low-income children throughout New Hampshire and Vermont. CLiF has served 100,000 children in almost 400 towns and has given away more than $1 million worth of brand-new books. CLiF delivers more than 175 free programs annually.

CLiF receives no state or federal funding, and relies solely on the generosity of individuals, local companies, social organizations, and foundations. To find out more about CLiF or make a donation, please visit www.clifonline.org or contact CLiF Executive Director Duncan McDougall by calling (802) 2440944 or e-mailing clif@clifonline.org.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis the amount that you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your competitive instincts are turned up.

You’ll dress, talk and walk like someone on a mission to win. The forethought you put into presenting yourself will give you an edge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can be a steadfast tower of strength and reliability, but right now, it seems more important that you follow your whims, seize the moment and do your own thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll be grounded in stable pursuits, such as earning the money you need to make home improvements or facilitating the many activities your loved ones want to participate in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Levity is just as essential to your happiness and well-being as is discipline.

Today you can back off a bit on your requirements of yourself and even more so where children and family are concerned.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll polish your skill set, homing in on the things you do that could use improvement. You’ll manage your time in such a way as to include extra practice to strengthen any weak areas.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 18). You will learn tricks and methods that help you communicate and work easily with others. In regards to your personal relationships, you’ll feel close and secure.

In December and June, travel increases your worldly knowledge. Invest in yourself in January. You’ll turn an impressive profit in February. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 33, 19 and 50.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Venting may make you feel better temporarily because you’re no longer holding your opinions and frustration inside. However, the complaining really doesn’t change anything. Spend your energy on creating solutions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be stepping up your professional game.

Instead of waiting for others to assess your work, objectively assess it yourself. You’ll be harder on yourself than anyone else would be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though there are amazing talents in the world, be careful not to put too much stock in the greatness of others. You are strong, too, and are capable of your own kind of greatness. Focus there.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll once again be asked to lead the group.

Encourage the natural talents of each individual. If a person is not inclined toward a task or is not so good at it, assign something to this person that he or she would enjoy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are highly creative, which is partly why you stubbornly resist doing what everyone else is doing. Your way may not bring better results, but it will bring a result that has “you” written all over it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is a fine line between being too controlled (e.g., boring) and being so impulsive that you make others nervous. Before you act, think about how each move you make will affect your reputation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a tendency to be self-sacrificing at work. You crave the attention of higherups and will work hard for it, even when others around you are not doing nearly

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 11 years. We both were married twice before, and both of my exhusbands left me for other women.

My husband recently re-established e-mail, text and phone contact with his former fiance, who broke off their relationship nearly 20 years ago. She is getting divorced, and he tells me he is “concerned” about her and “cares what happens to her.” I was upset about this and have let him know I will not tolerate it.

He said he would stop, but I discovered that he opened another e-mail account and they have continued to communicate rather tenderly. She lives several states away, but I am convinced they are planning to get together when her divorce is final. He assures me this isn’t so, but has lied quite a bit already.

How can I believe what he says? How do I live with a man I love but no longer trust? -- Worried Wife in Wisconsin Dear Wisconsin: Your husband is not behaving in a trustworthy manner, so it is natural that you find it difficult to believe what he says. You have reason to be worried about the state of your marriage, and we recommend the two of you discuss this with the help of a professional. Your husband must give up his friendship with the ex-fiance or, at the very least, make all contact transparent. Ask him to come with you to see a counselor, who will make it clear that he is undermining the marriage. We hope it matters to him.

Dear Annie: My husband is fascinated by technology. When the iPhone first came out, “Todd” got one right away and has been devoted to it ever since. The problem is that he is constantly checking his e-mail, Twitter and Facebook feeds.

Whenever I’m driving, Todd is online in the passenger seat.

He uses his iPhone while we watch TV. He eats breakfast with

it, brings it out at restaurants and uses it when we’re visiting family. Every month, he goes out to dinner with some of his old friends, and one night I joined them. They said it was nice to have some adult conversation, because Todd is constantly on his phone. Our eldest son has even told his father to stop “tap-tap-tapping” for a minute so he could talk to him.

When I point out his excessive online activity, Todd gets defensive, saying he’s looking stuff up for work, or that this is his way of having fun. I knew when I married him that he loved technology, but his obsession has gotten worse as the phones have gotten better.

I want my husband back. How do I get him to disengage from his phone and enjoy the time he spends in real life? -iPhone Widow Dear Widow: Tell Todd that his phone has become an addiction, and ask him to compromise. Make a list of activities, and indicate when it is OK to use the phone and when it is not. Let him choose which times are most important to him, and then you pick what is important to you (e.g., when you’re driving, he can play with his phone; when you are eating a meal, he must turn it off). If Todd feels the process is fair, he may be more inclined to cooperate.

Dear Annie: Please tell “Don’t Know What To Believe” not to jump to the wrong conclusion. She was afraid her husband was cheating because his computer said “activated his profile” and “come find your partner.” Those phrases show up on my computer all the time.

It’s possible someone in my address book has activated his profile, and that information pops up in my inbox, but I just ignore it. If her husband said he has nothing to do with it, he is probably telling the truth. -- K.G.
