Walter’s Market reopening with original business model By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Within about a year, Laconia lost two of its neighborhood markets. Walter’s Market on Court Street closed in September of last year, and more recently, the Laconia Spa of Church Street went out of business. Stepping into the void is a
local couple that hopes to soon re-open Walter’s Market, which has served South End residents since it was opened by Walter Filaroski in 1943. The new owners, Diana and Chris Robinson, will be the fifth owners to run the business, which was started as a butcher shop and supporting market and in more
Hip to be square
By michAel Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD —Since the owners of waterfront property benefit from the absence of milfoil in lakes, ponds and rivers, some believe that they should make a greater contribution toward eradicating it. Representative Richard Drisko (R-Hollis), who chairs the Exotic Aquatic Weeds and Species Committee of the Legislature, which has overseen the campaign to control milfoil since 2004, has introduced legislation that would enable municipalities to assess a fee on shoreland property owners, which would be dedicated to controlling milfoil on public water bodies. “Desperate times call for desperate measures,” Drisko remarked yesterday. He said that public awareness of the adverse effects of milfoil on natural ecosystems, water quality, recreational opportunities and property values has risen significantly, but “funding is our weakest link.” A portion of the boat registration fee is applied to a fund see MILFOIL page 6

recent iterations came to lean more toward a convenience store in its merchandising. The Robinsons think the best plan for the future of Walter’s Market is to take a page out of its past. Their intention is to return the market to its earliest intent: high-quality meats, cut on the premises and to order, see WaLtEr’s page 7

TUFTONBORO — The New Hampshire Department of Safety last week rescinded its decision declaring the Barber’s Pole, the passage between Cow Island and the mainland, a “no wake zone” after representatives of Safe Boater of New Hampshire successfully challenged the legitimacy of the petition prompting the initial declaration. State law (RSA 270:12) prescribes the procedure by which the commissioner of safety may place operating restrictions, including limits on the maximum horsepower or speed of boats, on lakes, ponds and rivers. The statute provides that at least 25 residents or property owners of each municipality bordering the water body may petition the commissioner, who after holding a public hearing may adopt rules to impose restrictions found to serve the public interest. Altogether restrictions have been imposed on more than 50 lakes and ponds, all identified in state law (RSA270:76-132), through this process. In May, the commissioner received a petition to impose a “no wake zone” on the socalled Barber’s Pole strait. A hearing was held on July 21 and on July 30 Commissee NO WaKE page 10

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — The buzz over the storied football rivalry between Harvard and Yale won’t be coming from vuvuzelas this weekend: Host Harvard has banned from the 127th game the plastic horns whose incessant droning filled the air during this year’s soccer World Cup. Harvard Associate Athletics Director Timothy Wheaton said in a statement this week that the noisemakers will not be allowed inside Harvard Stadium for Saturday’s game in the interest of promoting good sportsmanship — a reversal from a previous position that said the horns would be allowed on a case-by-case basis. “It has become apparent that some individuals intend to use artificial noisemakers to both disrupt play on the field and detract from the overall fan experience for many spectators,” Wheaton said in the statement issued Tuesday. The move comes after Harvard’s Undergraduate Council recently voted to recommend the ban. That was bad news for Yale freshman Jonathan Desnick, 19, of New York City, who bought 700 blue vuvuzelas with a big Y printed on them to bring to the game.

Obama says NATO will erect missile shield over Europe LISBON, Portugal (AP) — President Barack Obama won NATO summit agreement Friday to build a missile shield over Europe, an ambitious commitment to protect against Iranian attack while demonstrating the alliance’s continuing relevance — but at the risk of further aggravating Russia. On another major issue, Obama and the allies are expected to announce plans on Saturday to begin handing off security responsibility in Afghanistan to local forces next year and to complete the transition by the end of 2014. That end date is three years beyond the time that Obama has said he will start withdrawing U.S. troops, and the challenge is to avoid a rush to the exits as public opinion turns more sharply against the
war and Afghan President Hamid Karzai pushes for greater Afghan control. While celebrating the missile shield decision, Obama also made a renewed pitch for Senate ratification back in the U.S. of a nuclear arms treaty with Russia, asserting that Europeans believe rejection of the deal would hurt their security and damage relations with the Russians. Two key unanswered questions about the missile shield — will it work and can the Europeans afford it? — were put aside for the present in the interest of celebrating the agreement as a boost for NATO solidarity. “It offers a role for all of our allies,” Obama told reporters. “It responds to the threats of our times. It shows our determination to protect our citizens from the threat of ballistic missiles.” He did not mention Iran by name,
acceding to the wishes of NATO member Turkey, which had threatened to block the deal if its neighbor was singled out. Under the arrangement, a limited system of U.S. anti-missile interceptors and radars already planned for Europe — to include interceptors in Romania and Poland and possibly a radar in Turkey — would be linked to expanded European-owned missile defenses. That would create a broad system that protects every NATO country against medium-range missile attack. NATO plans to invite Russia to join the missile shield effort, although Moscow would not be given joint control. The gesture would mark a historic milestone for the alliance, created after World War II to defend Western Europe against the threat of an invasion by Soviet forces.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Transportation Security Administration has agreed to let airline pilots skip the security scanning and pat-downs that passengers face at the nation’s airports, pilot groups said Friday. Beginning Friday, pilots traveling in uniform or on airline business will be allowed to pass security by presenting two photo IDs, one from their company and one from the government, to be checked against a secure flight crew database, the TSA said. The Obama administration’s retreat on screening pilots comes less than a week before the hectic Thanksgiving holiday
travel period. Some travelers are threatening to protest the security measures by refusing to go through the scanning machines. Airlines are caught in the middle. Pilots welcomed the changes. “This looks good. It’s basically what we’ve been after for 10 years,” says Sam Mayer, a spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association at American Airlines, the union that raised objections to the new screening process about two weeks ago. “Pilots are not the threat here; we’re the target.” Pilots have also argued that it made no sense to subject them to the same screen-
ing process as passengers since they control the plane. If they were intent on terrorism, they could crash it and the scanners wouldn’t provide extra safety. TSA offered few details about the specific changes in screening of pilots, which expands a program tested at airports in Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Charlotte, N.C. “Pilots are trusted partners who ensure the safety of millions of passengers flying every day,” said TSA Administrator John Pistole. He said putting pilots through a faster screening process would be a more efficient use of the agency’s resources.

Time for a real mutiny from the left So much for 2010 as the year of mutiny, when the American people rose up and said, “Enough! Throw the bums out!” As the dust finally clears after the midterm elections, and the bodies are hauled from the field of battle, guess what? It was all so predictable. The safest thing to be in 2010 was an incumbent. Out of 435 seats, 351 incumbents will be returning to the House in January. In the Senate, out of 100 seats, 77 incumbents will return in January. As the libertarian Joel Hirschhorn puts it, “Welcome back to the reality of America’s delusional democracy where career politicians will continue to foster a corrupt, inefficient and dysfunctional government because that is what the two-party plutocracy and its supporters want for their own selfish reasons.” Now it’s on to 2012, through a largely familiar political landscape, right down to Sarah Palin telling ABC TV and the New York Times that, yes, she might just go all the way and run for the Republican presidential nomination. The possibility of a Palin run is just about the only ray of sunshine currently available to Barack Obama, now seemingly mesmerized by the verdict of the press — that the people have spoken and the president must “move to the center.” Onto the butcher block must go entitlements — Medicare, Social Security. The sky darkens with vultures eager to pick the people’s bones. As Obama reviews his options, which way will he head? He’s already supplied the answer. He’ll try to broker deals to reach “common ground” with the Republicans, the strategy that destroyed those first two years of opportunity. What do the next two years hold? Already, there are desperate urgings from progressives for Obama to hold the line. Already, there are the omens of a steady stream of concessions by Obama to the right. There’s hardly any countervailing pressure for him to do otherwise. The president has no fixed principles of political economy, and who is at his elbow in the White House?
Not the Labor Secretary, Hilda Solis. Not that splendid radical Elizabeth Warren, whose Consumer Financial Protection Bureau the Republicans are already scheduling for destruction. Next to Obama is Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, the bankers’ lapdog, whom the president holds in high esteem. Any hope that outgoing economic adviser Lawrence Summers might be replaced by someone of progressive cast has already been dashed by the news that the utterly conventional Roger Altman is in the running to succeed him. Altman is an investment banker, a former deputy Treasury secretary during the Clinton administration. The White House press office sends out signals that the White House is looking for someone from the business community to redeem the president in the eyes of corporate America. Now there’s an encouraging signal to Obama’s base, which is organized labor and black America — for whom he did precisely nothing in his first two years! In the months ahead, as Obama parleys amiably with the right on budgetary discipline and deficit reduction, the anger of the progressive left will mount. At some point, a champion of the left will step forward to challenge him in the primaries. This futile charade will expire at the 2012 Democratic National Convention amid the rallying cry of “unity.” The left must abandon the doomed ritual of squeaking timid reproaches to Obama, only to have the counselors at Obama’s elbow contemptuously dismiss them, as did Rahm Emanuel, who correctly divined their near-zero capacity for effective challenge. Two more years of the same downward slide, courtesy of bipartisanship and “working together”? No way. Enough of dreary predictability. Let’s have a real mutiny, starting now.

We give Christmas gifts where they’re needed, not to family To the editor, I just want to remind people that Christmas is not about gifts. It is about the birth of JESUS CHRIST! He created us. People seem to forget that and just think of the gifts and parties. It is also the spirit of giving to the people in need and our troops overseas. We have not given any Christmas gifts to our family. We always give to where it is needed. So just think how much you have and others do not. I do not mean other countries. I mean right here at home. So what is Christ-
people have to rush Christmas when it is Halloween. The Children of today just get too much as it is. How about giving to others that will not have Christmas? It is a religious time. Yes! We have forgotten. We have lost the meaning of Christmas and that is sad. We give to the children’s hospital and the troops overseas every Christmas instead of giving to our family. We are already blessed and have so much. Think about it. That is our way of saying THANKS! Christmas has become to commercial. Anna DeRose
LETTERS Founding Fathers were the liberal-progressives of their day To the editor, I found Mr. Earle’s egotistical letter to this forum last week laughable. He flatters himself by putting himself in the company of many of our Founding Fathers by labeling himself an “extremist”. I believe, by definition of the term extremist, Adolph Hitler would be considered an “extremist”; it’s what you accomplish with your extremism that counts. Mr. Earle doesn’t follow the examples of our Founding Fathers in any of the “minimal ways” he suggests — they’re nonexistent. His only claim to “extremist” is that he hates liberals, and that’s all he stands for. Mr. Earle may find it hard to believe, but individuals who were extremely liberal and progressive founded our nation. So liberal in fact that they fostered and won a revolution. The Founding Fathers and the patriots that won this country’s freedoms are often referred to as “Classical Liberals”. If you’re not a liberal-progressive, fine, but the ideology of the Founding Fathers is pretty well settled as a matter of history. If you’re going to argue that Jefferson, Madison, Franklin and Washington weren’t liberalprogressives, you might as well argue that Himmler and Goebbels weren’t fascists. If our Founding Fathers had been conservatives, our great country would be, more than likely, a member of the United Kingdom. Face it Earle, you have been trumped by the Founding Fathers who were informed, intelligent and didn’t have to endure your demeaning insults. In this same letter, Earle, once again, plays fast and easy with the truth.
None of the contributors to this forum ever labeled the Tea Party as racist. Many did, however, claim that there were racist elements within the party. Months ago I pointed our Mark Williams to suggest to conservatives, who have denied it, that there are racists within the movement. Apparently, this is an inconvenient truth, which Earle chooses to ignore, or maybe he should join Mr. Meade’s “educated elite” and try to improve his reading comprehension skills. Earle further contends that he won’t rise to the bait and doesn’t have to prove anything. In any event, it’s a classic right-wing practice to slip away form anything you can’t support, so come on Earle, where’s the examples? To paraphrase a popular ‘80’s commercial: “Where’s the proof?” While I do take issue with many of Professor Sandy’s views and commentaries, I found it hypocritical that Earle and Meade, who for years can never make a point without demeaning and demonizing liberal and moderate contributors to these pages, are now whining because Professor Sandy has voiced his fears and concerns in regard to the Republican Party. Apparently Earle and Meade have lost sight of the fact that our wonderful Constitution guarantees the rights of all Americans, not just those who share their conservative political beliefs. I would like to thank Mr. Earle for continued concern for my well-being. Be assured that I’m not suffering from “irrational ills” and I haven’t fallen off my “high horse”. And to Mr Meade, my “knickers” are just fine! L. J. Siden Gilmanton
State of New Hampshire should execute all cold-blooded killers To the editor, What a world we live in. Four young men break-in to a home with a machete, knives, etc. and slaughter a young mother and try to do the same to her young daughter. These young maggots said they did this and the lawyer said, plus the judge, “Let’s try them separately, we can make more money”. So this little girl has to go before a judge and jury, they find one of these maggots guilty,
he gets life in prison at a cost to the taxpayers in the vicinity of $20,000 per year. Why not execute them . . . the four of them . . . as they are all guilty? The state would save thousands of hard-earned taxpayer dollars. We should do that with all coldblooded murderers. The state would have more room in the jails. Armand Benoit Laconia

LETTERS Don’t take my word for it, read what World Heath Org. has to say To the editor, In response to Spencer Brody’s letter indicating that our soap collection drive is meaningless and will do nothing to help end the spread of cholera in Haiti, I offer the following quotes: From the International Rescue Committee: “Meanwhile, our education team was busy making sure that everyone in the camps was informed about how they could help prevent the spread of cholera, passing out materials about the importance of washing their hands with soap, eating only cooked foods and drinking only treated water.” From All Hands Volunteer in Haiti, Andrew Kerr: “People are a little bit afraid,” Kerr said. “But cholera is highly preventable, through proper handwashing and sanitation. And that’s what we’re trying to help people do.” From UNICEF’s Silvia Luciani: “Washing hands with soap or ash is especially important before eating, before handling
foods and after using the toilet”, she said. “Washing hands at these critical moments can reduce by 50-percent child morbidity, and cut down substantially the current cholera cases.” From the World Health Organization: “Wash hands with soap and water several times in the day, especially: After defecating, before eating, before preparing food, before touching and taking care of infants, after touching a sick person, when coming back home from the street, after touching something that was already touched by someone else such as phone, money, etc, after taking care of a person suffering from diarrhea and vomiting.” I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but I am at a loss as to why a local medical professional would take the time to undermine any effort by the local citizenry in aid to fellow humans.

There are now 90 countries that don’t want to buy U.S. debt To the editor, There are considerable concerns about the sustainability of public debt. A heavily indebted government will struggle to raise private financing even at higher interest rates, and default is possible. S.O.S. The risk of governmental defaults is heightened by the nature of the financial crisis and recession. These concerns, financial crisis and recession, have led to an unprecedented surge in government borrowing which will continue even though the recession has “ended”. Developed-country government bonds have traditionally been considered risk-free. Developed country defaults would wreak havoc on investor psychology. Banks could face write-downs on their government debt portfolios, and financial sector guarantees by governments that default would be worthless. Financial systems would then come under pressure and there would be serious impli-
cations for economic growth. Recession makes income streams smaller and repayment of debt problematic. It is called reverse leverage. It is predictable. There was a time when a AAA rating was an asset. The U.S. faces drastically increased fiscal deficits. We could moderate our debt burdens through inflation and devaluation. Doing so risks undermining the bond markets. The resultant spike in bond yields could force an acceleration of fiscal tightening with highly negative implications for the economy. The medicine could be worse than the disease. Most emerging markets’ public finances are much healthier than those of developed countries. How sad is that? There are over 90 countries that do not want to buy the debt issued by the U.S. government and they’ve said so publicly. Just my honest opinion. Marc Abear Meredith
Could Hathaway House owner at least fix the hole in the roof? To the editor, In reference to the article about the Hathaway House in Thursday’s paper, I think the one phrase that should have been included in the article is DEMOLITION BY NEGLECT. This is important to state because it’s exactly what’s happening to the Hathaway House, also known as the Squire Clark House. The present owners undoubtedly have all kinds of reasons why they have chosen not do anything to the
building. I am not looking to debate those reasons. But in the meantime, could they at least fix the hole in the roof to stop the water from going into the building? Anyone wishing to know the history or importance of this building to our community should contact members of the Heritage Commission or the Laconia Historical Society. Charlie St. Clair Laconia

MILFOIL from page one administered by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, which each year is distributed in the form of matching grants to lake associations and municipal governments for the treatment of milfoil. The state provided funding for 14 of the 33 control efforts undertaken this year, including seven of the 12 applications of chemical herbicides on Lake Winnipesaukee and the treatment of 81 infested acres on Lake Opechee. Drisko applauded Moultonborough, where voters at Town Meeting in March appropriated $200,000 to treat the entire shoreline, altogether some 200 acres. He said that similar major initiatives were underway in Alton and Wolfeboro. In Laconia there has historically been objection to spending large amounts of money treating milfoil on the grounds the state owns the lakes, not the city. Noting that his bill originated with the Exotix Aquatic Weeds and Species Committee, Drisko explained that it is designed as enabling legislation that
would authorize but not require municipalities to levy an assessment on waterfront property owners. The amount of the fee would be left to the discretion of the city or town, which would also be entitled to establish a capital reserve fund earmarked for the treatment of milfoil. “As long as the proceeds are dedicated to milfoil the management of the money would be at the town’s discretion,” Drisko said. Drisko said that there appears to be a precedent for assessing a particular class of property owners. State law, he said, authorizes municipalities to define areas, which are usually downtown, where property owners, who are most often businesses, can be assessed for specific services required by neighborhood, like street lighting or trash collection. Drisko stressed that owners of waterfront property benefit from the control of milfoil, which protects the value of their property. Referring to a study prepared at the University of New Hampshire, he said that milfoil infestations have depressed property values as much as 25-percent.

Diana and Chris Robinson are the new owners of Walter’s Market, which had operated on Court Street since first opening in 1943. The Robinsons expect to return the store to its original purpose, quality, fresh-cut meats. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)
WALTER’S from page one with neighborly customer service to match. Operating a neighborhood market has been a desire Chris has nurtured for better than two decades, since he was a teenager working at a similar, independently-owned market in Michigan. He has since worked a 24 year-long career in retail sales. Diana is a dietitian who plans to eventually transition to working fulltime at the market. Joining them at the store will be Roger Young, a butcher with more than three decades of experience. Young, who was an acquaintance of the Robinsons’, knew they were looking to start a business and was the one who mentioned to them that the Walter’s location was available. After a few meetings with Peter and Janet Filaroski, the son and daughter-in-law of market founder Walter Filaroski, the Robinsons were encouraged enough to take the plunge and in early November signed papers to move in. Peter and Janet Filaroski took over the business from Walter in 1976 and ran the shop until 1994, when they sold it to an employee, Todd Sanborn. Joe DaSilva owned and managed the store from 2001 until it abruptly closed last year. The Filaroskis continue to own the
property. Janet said she and her husband kept the market true to Walter’s initial vision. “Our line was quality meats and the inventory was what would support the meat business,” she said, and reported that her conversations with the Robinsons have proven to her that they want the store to return to Walter’s original model.”They want to come as close to it as they can,” she said. In an answer to what Diana said is the most common question locals ask her, she reported that the Filaroskis have shared with them Walter’s original recipe for Polish beans, and the Robinsons will be sure to keep them on hand. The Robinsons will focus on meats, which will include pork, sausages, chicken, lamb, turkey and choice Nebraska-raised beef. Chris said the beef will be “hanging beef” instead of “boxed beef,” which he said will provide for fresher cuts with better marbling. “You’ll see a difference,” he said. And with large sections of beef hanging behind the butcher’s counter, customers will either be able to select a steak that has been already cut or ask the butcher to cut a piece to the customer’s preferences. If there’s anything a customer is hankering for but doesn’t see in stock – whether it’s a see next page

Burglaries & assaults are up significantly this year, Laconia police say drug use likely root of problem By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — While the overall criminal activity level here seems to be holding steady with last year’s figures, Laconia Police Lieutenant Chris Adams reported that two categories of crimes – burglaries and assaults – are significantly on the rise, and he said drug activity is at least partly to blame. Adams, part of a small team of police department members who study local crime statistics, said the city is on pace to match last year’s total arrests – about 1,500 – and calls for service will also be about the same as last year. However, a closer look at the statistics show that, when compared to this time last year, Laconia has so far had 142 burglaries, an increase of 25 percent over the 114 counted last year. Simple assaults are also up 25 percent – 507 compared to 406 – and occurrences of the more serious aggravated assaults are also up, with 45 this year compared to 34 last year. “That’s a pretty high number of assaults for a community of our size,” Adams said. The increase in burglaries is nothing new, as Adams said that crime has been steadily on the rise and this year will likely see more burglaries than Laconia’s had in recent memory. “It has been a trend from preceding page

a fresh turkey, bratwurst or kangaroo meat (seriously) – Chris said he’d happily offer to make a special order. In addition to the butcher’s counter, the store will stock fresh produce, freshly-baked goods, deli meats, sandwiches and prepared meals such as meat pies. Some grocery items will continue to be offered, and the Robinsons plan to continue selling cigarettes, beer and wine. They hope to offer locally and regionally-produced goods whenever possible. The new-old Walter’s will open in early December, the Robinsons hope. They’ll be open seven days a week, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. most days with slightly reduced
hours on Sundays. Since committing to the deal a few weeks ago, the Robinsons and their employees have been hard at work preparing the space. They’ve installed new flooring, a new ceiling, put up a new coat of paint on the interior and gave the shop a good top-to-bottom cleaning. Exterior changes are in the plans, too. They hope all the improvements will add up to a store that is less like a modern convenience store and more like the neighborhood markets that once dotted corners across the city. “I think people are looking for the way it used to be, the small-time customer service,” said Diana. “We’re blue-collar people who know what people want and we’ll cater to them,” promised Chris.

that has been increasing,” he said. According to state law, burglary describes an event where a person enters a building or occupied structure with the intent to commit a crime once inside. The city has also seen a rise in larcenies, including shoplifting and thefts from vehicles and buildings. In Adams’s mind, the rise in the property crimes is driven by drug activity, especially prescription drug abuse, despite the fact that drug/narcotic violations are decreased by 23-percent. Adams cautioned, though, that a decrease in arrests does not correlate to a decrease in drug use. “It doesn’t mean that it’s not still out there.” “It’s hard to say, but I would definitely guess that some of the burglaries and thefts were by people to get money, to get merchandise they can pawn so they can purchase drugs.” Anectdotally, Adams referred to a string of burglaries which was investigated and the alleged perpetrator was thought to be involved with drugs. More widely, the types of burglaries seem to be consistent with those carried out by people looking to fund drug use. Many of the burglaries targeted jewelry, tools or electronics, all items that can be easily and quickly pawned or sold. “You can tell how bad a communisee next page

from preceding page ty’s drug problem is by how many pawn shops they have,” he said, noting Laconia has three and there are many more antique stores where jewelry could be sold. “We recover quite a bit of property from pawn shops.” Adams recommended that residents take basic steps that could prevent them from being victimized. “Criminals usually choose targets of opportunity,” said Adams. Many of the vehicles involved in the thefts were left open. While some of the burglaries involved forced entry, some of them also saw the burglars enter through an unlocked door or window.
In addition to locking cars and homes, Adams recommended against leaving cash or valuables in plain sight and installing exterior lighting around homes and businesses. “Don’t make it easy,” he said. Residents can help reverse the trend in burglaries by keeping an eye out on their neighborhood. Adams encouraged residents to call the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717, where they can leave an anonymous tip, if they see any suspicious activity. Although some might think they’re bothering the police department, Adams said the appreciates any help it can get and that they’ve solved cases thanks see next page

Gilford man charged with aggravated sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl GILFORD — An Old Lake Shore Road man was ordered held on $30,000 cash bail after his arrest Thursday on three charges of rape of a minor. Police said Thomas C. Fuller, 49, of 380 Old Lake Shore Road faces three separate counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault involving a 14-year-old girl. Town Prosecutor Crp. Eric Thomas C. Fuller Bredbury said the affidavits (Gilford Police photo) submitted supporting the warrants for Fuller’s arrest have been sealed by a Laconia District Court judge because it is an ongoing invesigation and police are looking into whether or not there are more victims and additional charges. from preceding page to tips from the public. “They know their neighborhood the best. If they see any activity that concerns them, please call,” he said. While the police department seeks to address these crimes, including reassigning a detective to focus full-time on the city’s illegal drug trade, Adams said other statistics show that Laconia remains a relatively secure place to live. Even in the case of the assaults, he said very little of that is “strangeron-stranger” crime. “Crimes against persons is relatively low – we are still a safe community,” he said.

NO WAKE from page one sioner of Safety John Barthelmes issued an order declaring Barber’s Pole, a stretch of water about twice the length of the Weirs Channel, a “no wake zone.” Many property owners on both Cow Island and the mainland were stunned and surprised by the decision, since they were not aware that a petition had been filed and a public hearing held. Noting the relatively low volume of boat traffic and number of boating mishaps, they questioned the need for a ‘no wake zone,” which the Marine Patrol has rejected in the past. They claimed that islanders who commute daily and weekly would be adversely affected by the “no wake zone,” which one person said stretched the time to traverse the channel to 17 minutes. Eleven residents, including Scott Verdock, the president, and Bob Flannery, the political director, of Safe Boaters of New Hampshire, appealed to reopen the hearing, claiming that the Department of Safety failed to properly notice the public hearing and the petitioners failed to qualify as either residents or property owners of Tuftonboro. Verdonck stressed yesterday that his organization, which formed to oppose legislation setting speed limits on Lake Winnipesaukee, was neither for or against the “no wake zone.” Instead, he said that his membership was troubled that interested parties were not informed that a change in the operating protocols on the lake was being contemplated and that the credentials of the petitioners were apparently not verified. “One of our members polled 58 residents of Barber’s Poll and found only two who favored a ‘no wake zone,’” Verdonck said. “We took no position either way. But, changes in the use of public waters should not be done under a shroud of secrecy. All the residents should be given an opportunity to participate in the decision.” The appeal was heard on October 1. The commissioner ruled that by posting a legal notice announcing the public hearing in the N.H. Union-Leader, a newspaper circulated throughout the state, the department met its obligation to provide public notification. He noted that the notice should not only be provided to residents or property owners but to all residents of the state, which has traditionaly be done by placing a notice in a statewide newspaper. Verdonck disagrees and has asked Representative John Hikel (R-Goffstown) to file legislation requiring the petitioners to notify all abutters of the forthcoming hearing by certified mail. The process, he said, is akin to the procedure followed by local planning see next page 141 Water Street Downtown Laconia 524-4144

Eliza Leadbeater right at home in helping her beloved BCEDC transition between directors By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — For 15 years and until she retired several years ago, Eliza Leadbeater was the public face and driving force behind the Belknap County Economic Development Council (BCEDC). Ostensibly retired to resume her love of spinning and textiles, Leadbeater was also one of the people who helped make the Granite Media Center — a state-of-the-art movie studio in Tilton — come to life. But when the position of executive director reopened due to the resignation of Jennifer Boulanger, Leadbeater came out of retirement to help guide the organization into it’s next incarnation. Leadbeater, who has been a sheep and wool farmer and textile specialist in England, an economic development specialists for the University of Vermont, and the assistant director of continuing Education at New England college swears her tenure at the BCEDC is temporary. Her job title is “interim” executive director and the organizations board in actively engaged in a search for a new, permanent director. “But that doesn’t mean I’m here to keep the seat warm, either,” said Leadbeater yesterday shortly after she spent two hours at a downtown real estate open house at the former Bloom’s Variety store. As one of the engines of economic development in the Lakes Region, the BCEDC is charged with helping to facilitate business opportunities in Belknap County and assist existing and potential business owners by, among other things, managing a revolving loan account created through the use of federal rural development funds. Leadbeater thinks the Lakes Region is poised to make a solid recovery from the recent economic downturn. She credits an actively engaged BCEDC board, the entrepreneurial nature of the people of the Lakes
from preceding page boards and by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services when chemical herbicides are applied to treat milfoil in lakes and ponds. However, the commissioner found that the original petitioners failed to provide adequate proof that the signatories were either legal residents or property owners of Tuftonboro. Barthelmes instructed the petitioners to provide him with the necessary documentation within 30 days. According to Verdonck, they have failed to do so.

Region, a capable and competent workforce and the some “excellent” community banks. “If you take that combination and make sure everybody is putting out the best they can, there will be success,” she said. “We are blessed with some tremendous resources,” Leadbeater continued saying she is optimistic the manufacturing base will strengthen and lead the way toward recovery. To her, the key to development is maintaining a well-educated and trained workforce. “Your workforce brings companies and your companies bring the workforce,” she said, adding good jobs also keep young people in the area ensuring future successes.

Gov. Lynch warns state agencies that a tough budget season lies ahead
CONCORD (AP) — Gov. John Lynch warned New Hampshire agencies Friday to prepare for tough choices that must be made this winter to ensure the state has a balanced budget over the next two years. “Even though we are climbing out of this recession, we will face significant challenges. It will force us to make tough choices, deferring or forgoing worthwhile programs and services,” Lynch said as he opened two days of hearings on agency budget requests. By law, agencies must submit requests reflecting the cost of maintaining existing staff and programs. That would cost the state $3.7 billion, or 31 percent more, for programs funded with state taxes over the next two years. The total budget when federal and other funding sources are added would be $12.4 billion, or a 14 percent increase over the past two years. Lynch has told agencies to prepare budgets that are 5 percent below this fiscal year. “This is a starting point. Some agencies will see their budgets reduced by greater than 5 percent; others will see less of a reduction,” he said. Lynch said his goal in preparing the budget will be to balance it while keeping New Hampshire’s taxes the lowest in the nation, provide services for the most vulnerable citizens, and reform and modernize government to stretch taxpayer dollars as far as possible. He said he is asking agencies to consider their most important priorities, which programs are no longer needed, how they can streamline services and if they can use technology to trim spending. “That is the approach we have taken for the last several budgets,” he said. “As a result, New Hampshire has weathered this storm better than most states in the nation.” Safety Commissioner John Barthelmes testified that rising gasoline prices, an aging fleet of squad cars and increasing demands on the state by communities pose budgetary challenges to his agency. State police drove 9.2 million miles during the last
fiscal year and didn’t replace any cruisers because of budget cuts, he said. The average mileage on cruisers is 89,000 and rising, he said. “These are not regular miles. These are hard miles,” he said. Barthelmes told reporters afterward that he is being cautious about hiring replacement troopers, not wanting to train them only to see them laid off if he doesn’t get funding for them in his budget. His budget has funding for 362 troopers, but only 326 positions are filled. “We’re probably at half the troopers we should have for a state our size,” he said. Meanwhile, communities have cut their police forces, putting pressure on troopers to respond to
emergencies, especially after midnight and often without backup, Barthelmes said. He estimated that at most, the state has 10 troopers on duty after midnight, which means responding to an emergency can take an hour or more. University System Chancellor Edward MacKay said the university system is asking for $15 million more in the next budget and promising to use the money for financial aid. He said the system needs continued state support to provide the financial aid to families who also are struggling because of the economy. MacKay said New Hampshire’s quality of life is at risk if the state fails to invest in its college system so it can produce graduates to fill employers’ needs.
LACONIA — “I wish I saw a few more unfamiliar faces,” remarked one property owner at yesterday’s open house at the now vacant Bloom’s Variety store building that was intended to showcase more than a dozen downtown properties to prospective renters or buyers. Along with several property owners themselves, the event was attended by local Realtors and bankers as well as state and city officials. The aim was to encourage investors to take a closer look at the properties, many of which have been on the market for extended periods of time. There was plentiful information on several of the most prominent properties, including the Sundial Shop, Colonial Theater and Bloom’s. Hosts were on hand prepared to lead interested prospects on tours of specific properties. Stephanie Wentworth’s rendering of the performing arts, dining and entertainment venue fashioned by linking the Colonial Theater with Bloom’s was on display alongside a vision for the redevelopment of the parking garage and adjacent space designed by Misiaszek & Turpin.
At the same time, City Manager Eileen Cabanel was there to discuss how the Master Plan, along with the report of the team from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, envisioned the future of the city and development of downtown. Likewise, Planning Director Shanna Saunders was prepared to explain the nuts and bolts of the zoning ordinance and planning process. Representatives of local banks were there ready to discuss financing options. The Belknap County Economic Development Council and the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development were also represented. There were rumors that someone was exploring the vast spaces of Bloom’s, which offers 22,000 square feet on three levels, and two people expressed interest in the Colonial Theatre complex, consisting of the theater, nine retail units and 18 apartments. Although several people remarked that they were encouraged to find so many people interested in the future of the downtown properties, most had hoped the event would attract more shoppers. — Michael Kitch

BOSTON (AP) — The Oklahoma City Thunder couldn’t hit a shot, and they didn’t have Kevin Durant or Jeff Green to save them. Finally, Russell Westbrook stepped to the line and hit a pair of foul shots with 13.4 seconds left to hold off the Celtics. Westbrook scored 31 points, including six free throws in the fourth quarter for the Thunder’s only points over a nine-minute span, and Oklahoma City held on to beat Boston 89-84 on Friday night. “We’re not used to finishing games without Kevin Durant,” Oklahoma City forward Thabo Sefolosha said. “Russell had to do it. It showed a lot about our team. It definitely gives confidence to a lot of guys.” The Thunder led by 10 points late in the third quarter and had an 83-74 edge after Westbrook made a pair of free throws with 7:11 left in the game. But they didn’t score again until he made another pair with 4:30 left, and the lead was down to one point when he went back to the line with 13.4 seconds left. Westbrook went 11 for 13 from the line, but he missed all seven of his field goal attempts in the fourth quarter. The Thunder missed their last 13 shots from the field, going without a basket for the last 9:28 of the game. “I knew going into the game that we would have to play just an ugly game,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “But our guys really battled and picked up the effort throughout the game and it was a good win for us. Having KD and Jeff out, it’s not the easiest thing to do.”

Oklahoma City was playing without two of its top three scorers: Durant, the NBA scoring leader who has a sore left ankle, and Green, who has a sprained left ankle. “It’s not painful to watch when we’re winning,” said Durant, who played in all 82 games last season and the first 11 this year. “Of course I want to be out there and play with my team. I’ve got to make sure I’m healthy first, though.” Kevin Garnett scored 16 points for the Celtics, but had a season-low two rebounds after getting bonked in the head in the first quarter. Rajon Rondo had 14 points and a season-low seven assists and finished the game on the bench with an unspecified leg injury. Glen “Big Baby” Davis went 2 for 10 from the field and missed four free throws in the fourth quarter. The defending Eastern Conference champions had won three in a row and eight of nine. “It’s historical: The Garden, the Staples Center,” Westbrook said. “It’s buildings like that you kind of get ready to play for.” The Celtics have dodged two of the top young players in the league this week. On Wednesday, No. 1 overall draft choice John Wall sat out the Wizards’ game in Boston with a sprained left foot; the Celtics won that one 114-83, their biggest margin of victory of the season. But the Thunder managed to overcome Durant’s absence. “We didn’t start the game with the right mindset,” see CELTICS page 23

There were 68 residential home sales for the month of October in the communities in this Lakes Region market report. That is down a bit from the 73 posted last October. The average sales price was up significantly from the $271,339 last October to the $395,012 last month. This increase in the average sales price is due to a large waterfront sale rather than any surge in overall home pricing. On a rolling twelve month basis ending October 31 there have been 791 homes sold at an average of $319,297 compared to 675 sales at an average price of $283,595 for the twelve month period ending October 31, 2009. That translates to a healthy 18-percent increase in total sales and a 13-percent higher average sales

It obviously has all the high end features imaginable including beautiful wood and stone work, massive fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen, soaring great room, an in-law apartment, wine cellar, exercise room, an outdoor kitchen, and multiple decks and patios. This home sits on a 4.31 acre lot that provides total privacy and 830 feet of frontage with great views. This property was originally listed at $8.9-million, was reduced to $6.999-million and sold for $6.839-million after 419 days on the market. Can you believe it? The holidays are fast approaching! Soon our homes will take center stage in the holiday festivities. Thanksgiving, in particular, is a day to be enjoyed (actually savored) at home (unless you go to Hart’s Turkey Farm, which is a totally acceptable alternative here in the Lakes Region). The origin of Thanksgiving is debatable but most of us have been taught that it started with the Pilgrims at Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts. The story goes that their first winter at Plymouth Rock in 1620 was extremely harsh and 46 of the 102 Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower died. The following summer’s harvest was bountiful thanks to the fact that the local Indians had see next page

A second performance will be held at St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church in Franklin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, December 10. The final performance will take place in Hanaway
Theatre at Plymouth State University at 3 p.m. on Sunday, December 12. No concert will be performed in Lakeport due to the closing of Our Lady of the Lakes Church. All concerts are open to the public; admission is by donation in Meredith and Franklin. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors for the Plymouth performance and may be purchased in advance through the Box Office or on site prior to the concert.
from preceding page taught the Pilgrims how fish and grow local crops like corn. So these hearty survivors gave thanks to God almighty and the Indians for saving them. They invited the Indians into their home for a harvest feast thus starting a tradition that survives today with some minor changes…like football. I’m not sure that the Pilgrims and Indians played football that first Thanksgiving, but it may be no small coincidence that the number of Pilgrims that survived (56) is the same number of players on a professional football team (plus the coach, offensive, and defensive coordinators that is)! Family always comes home for Thanksgiving. You might not hear from little Julie for three months, but she’ll be home. Robert Frost said “Home is a place where, when you go there, they have to take you in”. Another old saying goes, “Home is where the heart is…” It is more likely your kids know where the turkey is — along with stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy. But no matter. Thanksgiving is really about getting together for a family celebration on a brisk fall day in a home that they love warmed by a fire and a 325 degree oven that has been on for seven hours. Thanksgiving is a time to catch up on family news and
tell stories over a wonderful turkey dinner. Once you have eaten so much that you have to pop the buckle on your trousers and lie horizontally in your recliner, you can watch the Pilgrims and Indians…I mean the Lions and Cowboys play some football. Your kids may find this an opportune time to discuss their Christmas wish list or perhaps a small loan. The only bad part of Thanksgiving is the stack of dishes, pots, and pans as high as Mt. Washington that need to be washed after everyone has gorged themselves into a stupor. This dilemma is, in part, responsible for the profound success and longevity of Hart’s Turkey Farm — along with the fact that they provide a fabulous home cooked meal that would rival Grandma’s any day of the week! Maybe that old saying should be changed to “Home is where the Harts are…” Log on to my blog at www.lakesregionrealestatenews.com for more information on these and other sales.

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). By approaching problems with an open mind, you’ll increase your awareness and shift your thinking. You’ll suddenly see solutions and benefits that weren’t there before. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will be sensitive to the tenderhearted or emotionally raw people around you. However, when it comes to your own emotions, there are immediate benefits to toughening up a bit, especially in regards to work. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Someone should only be able to hurt your feelings once. After that, you’ve been warned about what you might expect from the person, and if you get hurt again, you will know that on some level you agreed to it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are outgrowing one practice and looking for a new one. You also have great courage right now, and the world seems to expand just to allow you to do bigger and braver things. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Guard against coming off as needy. Put your guard up and take care of yourself. Do not allow so much in. You can be friendly and loving and still stay inside your own emotional fortress. Establish boundaries. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 20). You learn not to take anything too personally. For every route that doesn’t work there is one that leads to smashing success. Romantic proposals come in December and March. Family makes you proud in January. You’ll concede to a loved one’s wishes, and your interests get served, too. Aquarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 4, 39, 24 and 51.
by Darby Conley
ARIES (March 21-April 19). In an act of independence and courage, you’ll stand up alone, but you won’t be alone for long. Because you are in the right, supporters and friends will soon join you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have enough structure and discipline in your world to give you a secure sense of responsibility. However, today it will seem almost impossible to resist the treats you would regularly deny yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are both wise and strong. What used to scare you now seems like smoke and mirrors. You may even be inspired to dig up uncomfortable feelings so you can work them out once and for all. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You wouldn’t push to the front of the line just to be first. However, you’re also not going to lag behind and let others take your rightful place. With grace and composure, you claim your rightful spot. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a physical sensation that comes with impulsiveness. Your body tightens, and your thoughts get hazy. Let these symptoms signal you to calm down and think things through before acting. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). From a distance, domestic and financial issues seem frustrating if not overwhelming. But once you get your hands on the problem, you’ll realize that this is easily sorted through, one item at a time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A cancelation or unexpected twist in your schedule will be a blessing. You’ll step out of your usual perspective and see what you’ve been avoiding. You’ll find ways to handle it, too.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Nov. 20, the 324th day of 2010 with 41 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 20, 1910, the Mexican Revolution of 1910, which overthrew longtime President Porfirio Diaz, had its beginnings under the Plan of San Luis Potosi that had been issued by Francisco I. Madero. On this date: In 1620, Peregrine White was born aboard the Mayflower in Massachusetts Bay; he was the first child born of English parents in present-day New England. In 1789, New Jersey became the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights. In 1947, Britain’s future queen, Princess Elizabeth, married Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh, at Westminster Abbey. In 1959, the United Nations issued its Declaration of the Rights of the Child. In 1967, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Population Clock at the Commerce Department ticked past 200 million. In 1969, the Nixon administration announced a halt to residential use of the pesticide DDT as part of a total phaseout. In 1975, after nearly four decades of absolute rule, Spain’s General Francisco Franco died, two weeks before his 83rd birthday. In 1980, faced with disastrous reviews from New York critics, United Artists announced it was withdrawing its movie “Heaven’s Gate,” whose estimated cost topped $40 million, for re-editing. In 1985, the first version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system, Windows 1.0, was officially released. One year ago: Scientists in Geneva restarted the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest atom smasher, after a year of repairs. Today’s Birthdays: Nobel Prize-winning author Nadine Gordimer is 87. Actresscomedian Kaye Ballard is 85. Actress Estelle Parsons is 83. TV personality Richard Dawson is 78. Comedian Dick Smothers is 72. Singer Norman Greenbaum is 68. Vice President Joe Biden is 68.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 20, 2010— Page 19
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I have been married to “Lori,” a wonderful woman, for six months. I’ve never been happier and wouldn’t change my life for the world. The problem is, Lori allows every little thing to get to her, and I get hit with the backlash. The list of things that can send her over the edge is endless -- one of her kids gets in trouble, her mother annoys her, she’s feeling a little under the weather. Once Lori gets into one of her moods, she becomes callous and mean. Nothing I say or do makes her feel better. If I mention how her mood affects me, her feelings are hurt and the problem gets worse. Lately, I’ve discovered the best thing is just to ride out the storm. Is there any way to help my wife stop sweating the small stuff? -- Running Out of Ideas Dear Running: The fact that Lori gets callous and mean when little things annoy her is a bad sign. Has she been evaluated for bipolar disease? Does she suffer from extreme hormonal fluctuations? Is she taking any kind of medication that might affect her mood? Suggest she see her doctor for a complete checkup, and ask specifically that these questions be addressed. She (and you) could be suffering needlessly. Dear Annie: My 61-year-old brother recently walked out of his 40-year marriage and hooked up with a 25-year-old girl from another country. I am still very close to his previous wife and their three grown children. The holidays are just around the corner, and it is my turn to host. How do I handle inviting the ex-wife (whom I adore), as well as my brother and his very young girlfriend of whom most of the family disapproves? Their children will be there with their families. I don’t know what to do. -- Baffled Dear Baffled: Unless the rest of the family wishes to estrange your brother, you are stuck with him. So invite everyone, and let them know. Tell your ex-sister-in-law that you understand this will
be difficult for her, but you would love to have her and will always consider her part of the family. If she chooses not to come, no one can blame her. But if she can find a way to tolerate the situation for the sake of her children, it could pave the way for less hostile family get-togethers in the future. Dear Annie: I was saddened to read the letter from “Concerned Mom in Pennsylvania,” who was unable to get support in finding employment for her blind 18-year-old son. I am an occupational therapist in Michigan who has worked with special needs children for 30 years. Our state provides services through the age of 26. I recommend “Concerned” contact the school district that is servicing her son and sit down to discuss these specific concerns. Every child with special needs who attends school is required to have an annual individual educational plan (IEP). Schools are also responsible for helping students transition into the community, assisting with transportation to programs, etc. Mom should also ask whether the school has a parent advocate program. It sounds like she could use some support. -- Michigan Dear Michigan: We were heartened by the letters of support sent in by our readers. Here’s one more: Dear Annie: I would like to add to your list of organizations. It will be much easier for him to get a job if he is trained in something. Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic (rfbd.org) is a national nonprofit organization helping individuals pursue their educational and professional goals. We have the largest digital textbook library of accessible educational materials with more than 60,000 titles available at no cost to the subscriber. One of the organizations you mentioned could help him purchase the equipment he would need to access the materials and advise him on an appropriate course of study. -- Volunteer at RFB&D, Ontario, Calif.

LORIS, South Carolina — Elizabeth “Betty” King, 87, passed away on Thursday, November 18, 2010, at the Agape Hospice Care in Conway, SC. Betty was born on January 11, 1923 in Laconia, New Hampshire to Helen and Herbert Hayner. She attended McIntosh Business School until she joined the Navy in 1943 during World War II. She was stationed at Bainbridge, Maryland, where she met Joe “J.D.” King, who was also stationed there in the Navy. They were married and moved to Loris, which was JD’s hometown. They had nine children and were successful farmers in the Daisy community. In the 1960s, they purchased the Loris Cold Storage that Betty successfully operated for more than 30 years. Betty has seven living children: Judy Thrana, Joe King, Mark King, Mary Wilder, Susan Horton, David King, and Becky Riley. She has 20 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by two of her children, Michael King, and Patricia “Patty” King, both of Loris; and her sister, Mary Kendall of Columbia, Illinois, and her brother Herbert “Bud” Hayner, of Laconia, New Hampshire.
Betty’s faith was her strength. She was a founding member of St. James Catholic Church in Conway, and was instrumental in the establishment of the Loris Catholic Mission, and the Catholic Church of the Resurrection, in Loris, of which she was a member. Her faith was also her conviction, as she always strived to do right by everyone.

Belknap Mall will again host annual N.H. Humane Society Adopt-A-Thon BELMONT — For a second year, this time on Friday, Nov. 26 and Saturday, Nov. 27, The Belknap Mall will host the annual New Hampshire Humane Society Adopt-A-Thon. Innovative adoption fee specials will be offered at this two day adoption blitz. It will mark the fifth year all animals available for adoption have been available off site — away from the animal shelter in Laconia. Cats over the age of six months will be available for a reduced adoption fee of just $25. With over 90 cats being adopted in the month of October, staff at the Meredith Center Road shelter fully expect to exceed that number with the AdoptA-Thon, helping even more felines
find happy forever homes. Anyone sitting on the fence about adopting a cat should be easily swayed to make that decision during the upcoming holidays. Dogs and puppies will also be at the mall looking for a perfect match. Prospective adopters can expect same day service if all necessary documentation is in order; proof of home ownership, or lease agreement stating pets allowed. Proof of rabies certificate for currently owned animals in the home (per state law). And, most importantly, that all the family is present to make the adoption experienced as streamlined as possible. NHHS Staff and volunteers will be see next page

CELTICS from page 13 Celtics forward Paul Pierce said. “We knew what they were going through. We kind of eased into the game.” The Thunder took a 77-67 lead near the end of the third when Westbrook lost control of the ball and it rolled over to Royal Ivey, who put up a desperation 3-pointer as the shot clock expired and smiled as it banked off the glass and through the net. Delonte
West scored to make it 77-69 heading into the fourth. It was a nine-point game with 7:11 left before the Celtics cut it to 83-79 on five free throws. It was still a four-point game when Davis missed both free throws, then went back to the line and missed one of two. West made a pair of foul shots to make it a one-point game with 76 seconds left. But Ray Allen missed a 3-pointer that would have given Boston its first lead of the half. After West-
Congregational Church of Laconia again hosting free annual Hazel Duke Thanksgiving Dinner LACONIA — The Congregational Church in Laconia is again hosting its annual Hazel Duke Thanksgiving Dinner, which will be held at noon on Thanksgiving Day. In what has become a city tradition for more than 40 years, the event offers a full Thanksgiving meal for no charge. Everyone in the greater Laconia area is welcome to attend.
Organizers request that those who wish to attend make a reservation by calling 524-0668. Volunteers to help facilitate the meal are also sought, those who wish to do so should call the same number. The dinner will be served in the church’s downstairs hall. The church is located in Veterans Square in Laconia.
from preceding page on hand to guide likely new pet owners to the perfect animal for their home and lifestyle. Marylee Gorham, Director at NHHS says, “We’ve enjoyed phenomenal success with the Thanksgiving Adopt-A-Thon in the past. In prior years every dog at the shelter, and upwards of 40-percent of the entire cat population has found a loving home at this time, sometimes you simply have to bring the mountain to Mohamed!”. Given the triumph of recent high adoptions in October, New Hampshire Humane Society hopes to equal or surpass successful placement of many homeless creatures. Village Perk of Meredith will offer hot refreshments for those shopping or waiting to finalize the paperwork
of their newest four-legged family member. New Hampshire Humane Society has consistently enjoyed the fourth highest adoption rates of all shelters in the northeast. No animal is euthanized for time or space constraints, rather all enjoy care and comfort until a loving new home is found, no matter how long the wait may be. For a preview of available animals, and details about the Adopt-A-Thon, check www.nhhumane.org.

brook’s free throws, West missed a 3 that would have tied it. Garnett played just three minutes in the first quarter but returned in the second with a big bump on the back of his head. “I didn’t know if I should play him even though he played OK,” Rivers said. “Still don’t know if I should have played him.” Rondo came up limping during a timeout with 6:19 left to play in the fourth; he stayed in the game for another possession, then came out for West. “He wasn’t running right and had to come out,” Rivers said.
