‘Free Ward Bird’ protest moves to the Statehouse BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — Family, friends, neighbors and supporters of Ward Bird, the Moultonborough farmer jailed for three to six years after the New Hampshire Supreme Court upheld his conviction for criminal threat-
ening, took their cause to the streets of Concord and the halls of the Statehouse as Bird passed his birthday behind bars yesterday. Some 75 people, many holding signs demanding Bird’s freedom and condemning his imprisonment, circled the pavement
in front of the Statehouse then, when city workers began putting up the Christmas tree, lined the street and waved to motorists. The campaign to secure Bird’s release has gathered momentum since the rally at Picnic Rock Farm in Meredith last Thursday, see WARD BIRD page 9

LACONIA — Whether or not Webb Management Services, the firm weighing the prospects of acquiring, renovating and reopening the Colonial Theater, concludes that the project is feasible will hinge on a number of conditions. City Manager Eileen Cabanel told city councilors last night that Duncan Webb, the firm’s principal, explained that following the research and interview his team has conducted the next step is “to establish the conditions that make it feasible.” According to Cabanel he said that among the projects the firm considers, it recommends abandoning about 10-percent and merely blesses another 20-percent already set to succeed. The Colonial Theater, Webb told her, fell into the remaining 70-persee COLONIAL page 11

LACONIA — The city man who allegedly took a patrol car from the Laconia police officer who was called to his home to investigate a domestic disturbance was ordered held on $15,000 cash bail by a Merrimack County judge yesterday. Police said they were called to 131 Holman St. just after 9 p.m. Saturday after Brett Davis, 40, allegedly drove his truck into his girlfriend’s car and had fled the area. While the police officer was talking with the victim, he saw his cruiser back out of the driveway and speed from the area, with a patrol rifle locked in the rifle rack inside the cruiser. With Belmont, Meredith and N.H. State Police assisting, Laconia Police put out an “be-on-the-lookout” order for both the cruiser and Davis’s 2010 Ford F-250 pickup. Davis apparently ditched the cruiser on nearby O’Shea Lane and see CRUISER page 8

Fraser gets insane on Broadway

3DAYFORECAST
NEW YORK (AP) — Brendan Fraser drew up one of the strangest to-do lists before making his Broadway debut. He wanted to go to Oslo, Norway. There, he hoped to eat pork and gravy, walk by a lake, visit a mental institution, talk to social workers, grab a beer with some car mechanics, hang out at a poetry reading, munch on a hot dog, dial up a phone sex line, buy some comic books and porno and learn how to swear in Norwegian. All that was to get into character before hitting the stage in the New York premiere of “Elling,” a sort of “Odd Couple” set in modernday Norway with two recently released mental patients. That was the plan at least, but Fraser ran out of time at the end of the summer and never got a chance to get to Norway. Fraser is better known for his comedic turns in “Dudley Do-Right” and “Bedazzled,” or his action movies such as the cadaver-bashing “The Mummy” franchise, or his more serious film roles like “Gods and Monsters” and “Crash,” but he has ventured onto the stage. He played Brick in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” in London in 2001 and starred in John Patrick Shanley’s “Four Dogs and a Bone” in 1995 at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.

At least 345 die in stampede at Cambodian festival PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Thousands of people stampeded during a festival in the Cambodian capital, leaving at least 349 dead and hundreds injured in what the prime minister called the country’s biggest tragedy since the 1970s reign of terror by the Khmer Rouge. A panic-stricken crowd — celebrating the end of the rainy season on an island in a river — tried to flee over a bridge and many people were crushed underfoot or fell over its sides into the water. Disoriented victims struggled to find an escape hatch through the human mass, pushing their way in every direction. After the stampede, bodies were stacked upon bodies on the bridge as rescuers swarmed the area. The prime minister’s special adviser, Om Yentieng, denied some reports that the victims were electrocuted by lighting cables and that the panic was sparked by a mass food poisoning. Ambulances raced back and forth
between the river and the hospitals for several hours after the stampede. Calmette Hospital, the capital’s main medical facility, was filled to capacity with bodies as well as patients, some of whom had to be treated in hallways. Relatives, some crying, searched for the missing Tuesday morning. “I was taken by shock. I thought I would die on the spot. Those who were strong enough escaped, but women and children died ,” said Chea Srey Lak, a 27-year-old woman who was knocked over by the panicked crowd on the bridge. She managed to escape but described a woman, about 60 years old, lying next to her who was trampled to death by hundreds of fleeing feet. “There were cries and calls for help from everywhere, but nobody could help each other. Everyone just ran,” she said at Calmette Hospital, where she was being treated for leg and hand injuries. Hours after the chaos, the dead and
injured were still being taken away from the scene, while searchers looked for bodies of anyone who might have drowned. Hundreds of shoes were left behind on and around the bridge. An Associated Press reporter saw one body floating in the river. The government television station said 395 people had been killed and 500 injured. “This is the biggest tragedy we have experienced in the last 31 years, since the collapse of the Khmer Rouge regime,” Prime Minister Hun Sen said, referring to the ultra-communist movement whose radical policies are blamed for the deaths of 1.7 million people during the 1970s. He ordered an investigation into the cause of the stampede and declared Thursday would be a national day of mourning. Government ministries were ordered to fly the flag at halfstaff. He said that the government would pay the families of each dead victim 5 million riel ($1,250) for funeral expenses and provide 1 million riel ($250) for each injured person.
DUBLIN (AP) — The Irish government stood on the brink of collapse Monday, a day after being forced to accept a massive bailout from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen said he would call an election for early next year, once Ireland passes an emergency budget and finalizes the bailout. The admission represented a huge political blow to Cowen, who only days ago was
denying even the need for a bailout to solve the problems brought on by Irish banks’ reckless speculation in overpriced real estate. His coalition partner, the Green Party, forced his hand, saying it would quit the government and then demand an election in January. Cowen resisted pressure to resign immediately, but soon even lawmakers in his own Fianna Fail party also called on him to go. Cowen said he could not quit now
because that would delay Ireland’s deficitslashing 2011 budget and the bailout negotiations — and jeopardize efforts to sustain the nation’s cash-strapped banks. He insisted he would step down and face re-election only after Ireland’s most brutal budget in history is passed and talks with the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank produce a bailout deal expected to approach €100 billion ($135 billion).

Hard, but not impossible Is there any chance we can come to grips with our short-term and long-term fiscal problems — the huge current federal budget deficit and the huge looming increases in entitlement spending? Maybe so. Or at least the chances seem a little better after the release of two sets of proposals in the weeks after the election. One came from Clinton White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles and former Sen. Alan Simpson, chairmen of the bipartisan commission Barack Obama set up in February to address the subject. Rather than wait for a consensus from their 18-member commission, the two presented their own array of proposals to stabilize the national debt at 60-percent of gross domestic product and cut the budget deficit to 2-percent of GDP by 2015. Another came from an initiative from Clinton budget director Alice Rivlin and former longtime Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenici that would similarly stabilize the national debt and would cut the budget deficit to 1-percent. These recommendations are not likely to be adopted in full, but they do show that it is within the realm of possibility to hold the national debt below the 90-percent level to which it is headed — and that has been identified by economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff as the point at which governments tend to face a financial crash. Unfortunately, the prospects for entitlement reform still seem poor. Incoming House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the Bowles-Simpson plan was “simply unacceptable,” and other Democrats indicate no more interest in making even minor modifications in Social Security — a slow increase in the retirement age, reduced benefits for high earners as the years go on — than they did when George W. Bush pushed for Social Security reform in 2005. Those changes would actually make the program more progressive, concentrating benefits among those most in need. But Democrats evidently prefer holding onto the Social Security card in the hope it will be trump in future elections. As for Medicare and Medicaid, they will be in play as Republicans on Capitol Hill and in state capitals try to throw sand in the gears of Obamacare. Bipartisan agreement on these issues seems far, far away. Taxes may be another matter. Bowles-Simpson threw out a bold
proposal to eliminate tax preferences — including the hitherto sacred deductions for home mortgage interest and state and local taxes — and to cut rates significantly below where they have been since World War II. The top rate would be only 23-percent. The corporate income tax would be cut from the current almost-highest-in-theworld 35-percent to 26-percent. The principle here is the same as that of the bipartisan 1986 tax law, that cut numerous preferences and lowered the rates, as well. It was hammered out in tough and protracted bargaining by House Democrat Dan Rostenkowski, Republican Sen. Bob Packwood and Treasury Secretary James Baker. Leading Republicans’ responses to these proposals was at least somewhat positive — in vivid contrast to Pelosi. In at least some conservative circles, eliminating “tax expenditures” is not seen as a verboten tax increase. It’s not clear that the lead players will step up to the plate. Incoming House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp does not have the experience that Rostenkowski brought to the 1986 negotiations. Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus may not have as flexible a Republican ranking member if, as expected, Charles Grassley leaves that position and it is taken over by Orrin Hatch. Hatch, whose seat is up in 2012, watched as his Utah colleague Bob Bennett was denied renomination this year by the Republican state convention. He may be wary that the same thing could happen to him. Nor is it clear that Barack Obama is interested. Voters this year were evidently not pleased with the big government policies that have raised federal spending from 21-percent to 25-percent of GDP. But many Democratic politicians would like to see government stay at that level indefinitely. Their ranks may include the presidential nominee who told Joe the Plumber that he wanted to “spread the wealth around.” Still, Bowles-Simpson and RivlinDomenici have done the public a service by showing how the current fiscal and long-term entitlement crises can actually be addressed. They have shown that it is hard — voters can’t get everything they want — but that’s not impossible. (Syndicated columnist Michael Barone is a senior writer with U.S. News and World Report and principal co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.)

LETTERS Mr. Bolster’s words, on the new Alton pathway, haven’t been true To the editor, Once again I find myself compelled to write another letter in reference to the Town of Alton’s actions pertaining to the railroad walking path next to my home. Work began Friday with no notification to my family or neighbors. We stepped out our door to find town trucks parked in our driveway. It is not the fact that the walking path is going in, we had come to terms with that. I’m writing out of frustration over the lack of compassion over the invasion of our home. What I wish to address primarily is how misled we all have been. Mr. Bolster stood on the side of my home several weeks ago and told me that the path would be placed across from me up on the hill abutting the Twombley property to award us with a little privacy. It could not be closer to our side. He had also told voters that very same thing in the spring, before the vote, to assure them that our privacy would not be violated. They were also told, as was I, that they would place a tall “elephant fence and dense shrubbery” so we would seldom know that walkers were taking a stroll. Wrong again, apparently a 2 to 3-foot berm and six shrubs are what will be placed there, although in response to that, Mr. Bolster told us we have every right to put a fence up at our own expense once the boundaries have been established. Speaking of boundaries, Mr. Bolster was kind enough to offer some
of the rocks that were being turned up — many of which we had brought in as fill to level this area years ago for our picnic table — to us to mark these unestablished boundaries. We declined and he then brought his private vehicle around to load these rocks for his own property. Talk about rubbing salt in the wound. Lastly Mr. Bolster himself stated that, “This project will be built with donated funds, grants and volunteer labor in the same way that all of the work on the railroad park project has been accomplished.” I feel strongly that the voters of Alton should know that the only “volunteer” on Friday was Mr. Bolster himself, accompanied by town trucks, town workers, and a town police officer. As for the question of ownership of this property, we sought advice from a real estate attorney as well as a surveyor. Both felt that we have a case due to discrepancies they located when looking over surveys done by the state and town. What we do not have, however, are pockets deep enough to fund the pursuit of these issues. Mr. Bolster has used his administrative authority to further his own agenda at the expense of anyone who may have the misfortune to be in his way. I can’t help but wonder if Mr. Bolster will use the stones he took from our property to establish his own property lines. Kim Patterson Alton
Frequent hand-washing essential to stopping spread of cholera To the editor, I would like to respond to Dr. Brody’s letter in which he claimed that hand washing with soap will not stop the spread of cholera in Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, where thousands remain homeless (and soapless) after a devastating earthquake. Frequent hand-washing with soap and water is absolutely essential to prevent the spread of infectious disease, as any medical doctor should know. Cholera can be spread by hands, dishes and other washable items contaminated with untreated water. If there is no soap for food preparers, aide
caregivers, they can spread the disease even if not infected themselves. Besides, we’re talking soap here, something much easier to donate, handle, ship and distribute than water purification systems, which other aid agencies are providing anyway. Let’s all get behind Mr. Sperl’s “Wash Their Hands, Save Their Lives,” initiative and demonstrate to God, to our neighbors, and to the people of Haiti our gratitude for being fortunate Americans, in the spirit of Thanksgiving. It’s the least we, who take clean water and soap for granted, can do. Peter R. Brunette

LETTERS Majority of people on Barber Pole Road want a no wake zone To the editor, Michael Kitch’s article (Saturday, Nov. 20) concerning the no wake zone (NWZ) in the Barber Pole requires some clarification. As someone who has summered for 27 years in my parents’ cottage in this area, I am aware of three attempts since 1997 to get a NWZ in place. The area in question is the 390-feet between the buoy and Squirrel Island. This narrow and congested passage can be a logistical nightmare in the summer, given the 150-foot passage law. People in the Barber Pole recognized this and over these 13 years a majority of people from Barber Pole Rd., Squirrel and Little Birch Islands, and many people on the Cow Island passage in the Barber Pole have signed-on in favor. Incidentally, several of the Cow Islander’s who have signed-on in the past were neighbors of the person quoted in your article as being only able to find two people in favor of the NWZ. One only has to read the names of people who signed in favor of the NWZ at the hearing last July and read the letters submitted subsequently to the DOS to realize just how many people are in favor. Seventeen extra minutes to traverse the channel? My calculation using the length of the proposed area was less than two minutes! Also keep in mind the stated objective when SBONH was formed last
year was to oppose the speed limit on Lake Winnipesaukee. To this end they started an online petition whereby people from all over the country and beyond were encouraged to sign because “your lake could be next”. Now Mr. Verdonck objects to the manner in which Barber Pole residents input was obtained? Furthermore, at the second hearing in October, appellants from outside the Barber Pole were allowed to testify, but no one in favor of the NWZ. I find it compelling that the DOS would rule in favor of this NWZ, citing serious safety issues, and then reverse its ruling on a technicality. I was one such technicality in that the property that I will inherit is still in my parents’ name so I was not considered a landowner. Other names were similarly disqualified because they were spouses who did not appear on the deed etc. The statutes regarding the submission of signatures are vaguely worded and the original petitioners were told only that “25 signatures were needed”. The area in question is indeed a safety hazard with many of its residents in favor of a NWZ. The DOS agreed. They need to do the right thing and institute this NWZ before a serious accident occurs. C. Clark Tuftonboro
Gilford’s input into preserving Camp Winsheblo was about $75k To the editor, While there have been several small articles published about the recent conservation of Camp Winsheblo, in Gilford, there has not only been a serious reporting error, but the credits for protecting this parcel haven’t been duly given. The major credit, first of all, goes to each of the members of the Laconia Girls Corporation, Inc. for their consideration and caring for the 210+ acres of land at the end of Liberty Hill Road known as Camp Winsheblo. They not only sold this beautiful 210+ acre parcel to the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, but did so at a greatly reduced price to fulfill their desire that it be protected forever. To each and every member, go our thanks and appreciation for your foresight and actions to ensure its conservation. The second major credit for this land acquisition and protection goes to the New Hampshire Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests (SPNHF). They put two years of efforts into this project, purchasing the land at what is termed a “bargain sale” of $225,000. However; Gilford’s Conservation Commission’s and Land Conservation Task Forces’ input into the project were minimal and Gilford
did not contribute 75-percent of the purchase price as previously reported. Rather, we partnered with the SPNHF and contributed slightly over $75,000 toward the purchase price and closing costs, drawing the money from the Town’s Land Conservation Fund. In return, the Town of Gilford now holds the easement, and should the SPNHF ever become defunct, the land would revert to the Town. (This is the land on the left hand side of Liberty Hill Road where it becomes a gravel road, not on the right where the actual Winsheblo buildings were.) While those are points of clarification, the bottom line here is that major credit has to be given to the SPNHF for two years of work, and especially to Tom Howe, Senior Director of Land Conservation, whom we have had the pleasure of working with on this transaction. It is primarily because of the efforts of both the Laconia Girls Corporation, Inc. and the SPNHF that we here in Gilford reap the benefits of having another beautiful protected parcel of land. Speaking on behalf of the citizens of Gilford. Thank you! Everett McLaughlin, Chair Gilford Land Conservation Task Force Gilford Conservation Commission

I just hope that one day it’s not your car that gets hit by a cart To the editor, This is my answer to Dean Tappan’s remark about the shopping carts: I think people need to know about this. I have seen too many cars in the parking lot at a supermarket get hit by carts left to roll into other cars and cause damage. I guess, Dean, you must be one of those people who does not drop their shopping cart off at the
drop-off area. So your remark on Anna will save the world one shopping cart at a time was uncalled for. I just hope one day it is not your car that gets hit by one of these carts. People need to drop them off in the drop-off area. That’s all there is too it. I am just letting people know. It is food for thought. Anna DeRose, Moultonborough

To the editor, News accounts regarding the City of Manchester charter amendment pertaining to its budget has now overlapped to Laconia. The city solicitor’s knee-jerk legal opinion that “City’s tax cap is no longer valid” begs a second legal opinion. The City’s “TAX RATE” CAP is valid until the VOTERS say it’s not. My emphasis here is our “TAX RATE” CAP. If the solicitor’s opinion is endorsed by the City Council, the Grand Total Resolution by the council is now null and void. Accordingly, the penalty is that the city manager’s proposed budget is now the default budget. And the DRA will have to adjust the property tax rate. The Supreme Court order No.2009791 has no impact on Laconia’s City Charter. Please allow me to explain why: 1. The Manchester “SPENDING CAP” Supreme Court ruling has no automatic impact on any other municipality. Laconia has its one-of-a-kind Charter ARTICLE V, consisting of 13 sub-Sections. With the exception of Sec.5:01 Fiscal Year RSA 49-C:22 and 5:07 RSA 49-C:23, VII, all are founded on RSA 49-A. Laconia has a CAP on the “Local TAX RATE” Section 5:03.5. No SPENDING Cap exists. 2. According to Sec. 5:03.5, A, 2., the manager submits to the City Council, a proposed budget for the next fiscal year; “establishing a combined municipal budget, the City Council shall be allowed to assume an estimate property TAX RATE only in an amount not to exceed the TAX RATE established during the prior fiscal year increased by a factor equal to the change in the National Consumer Price Index.” The EMPHASIS is the TAX RATE, which can only be applicable to the LOCAL TAX RATE. 3. No limit is placed on appropriations. The TAX RATE CAP is applicable to one source of REVENUE. The order by the voters, to its elected representatives, is to not increase the
revenue amount of money raised by LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES, contingent on the Consumer Price Index. No limits apply to the majority of the revenues. For example: NON PROPERTY TAXES, INTERGOVERNMENTAL, LICENSES & PERMITS CHARGES FOR SERVICES and MISC REVENUES SURPLUS listed in the budget. Budget appropriations can, and do increase annually. The City of Laconia is only empowered to levy a local property tax. The state’s property tax is not embraced by the tax cap. The School Department, contrary to what is listed on our property semi-annual property tax bill, has no power to tax. 4. The Supreme Court’s opinion lists an original annual budget “based upon the financial needs of the city”. The council’s Grand Total Annual Budget Resolution is only required to meet the city’s “needs” not all the wants and desires of every department head, board or commission. To limit only one of the individual revenues sources of the grand total of the revenues does not impede the city manager or the council from meeting the adequate needs of the city. 5. Moreover, the City of Manchester has a “spending cap”. Its Charter amendment limits annual budget increases. Nowhere in the Supreme Courts’ order does it address a cap on the TAX RATE. 6. An appropriation after the annual budget is adopted mandates passage by no less than the approval by 4 or more councilors, excluding the mayor. The revenues necessary to fund that appropriation must be identified. If the source of the funding is a supplemental property tax bill then it must be preceded by a vote to override the “tax” cap, once again requires four or more councilors vote in the affirmative. I do not agree with the City Solicitor AGAIN. The Manchester ruling has no bearing on Laconia. Thomas A. Tardif Laconia

LETTERS Here’s what there is to know about FactCheck.org, you be the judge To the editor, I have been asked about FactCheck. org, so I thought your readers might like to know a little more about this organization. It is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. It was established by the publisher and philanthropist Walter Annenberg to create a community of scholars within the University of Pennsylvania that would address public policy issues at the local, state and federal levels. Their mission statement reads as follows: “We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit ‘consumer advocate’ for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics. We monitor the factual accuracy of what is said by major U.S. political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews and news releases. Our goal is to apply the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and
to increase public knowledge and understanding.” They are funded by an endowment created by, and grants from the Annenberg Public Policy Center, as well as grants from the Flora Family Foundation. They do not seek and have never accepted, directly or indirectly, any funds from corporations, unions, partisan organizations or advocacy groups. In 2010, they began accepting donations from individual members of the public for the first time, responding to many unsolicited offers of support. They also “decided to disclose our finances in greater detail, so that our readers may judge for themselves whether or not any of those individual donations could influence us.” They are now making quarterly disclosures, and any gift of $1,000 or more from a single individual will be identified by name.

Meeting I had with Ward Bird led to to believe he is a good man To the editor, Last call, Ward Bird sold me two cords of wood from his Picnic Rock Farm. The man could not have been nicer, in fact he gave me a discount because I lived less than a mile from the farm. Just meeting him, I could tell that he was an honest and hard working individual. The bed on his old dump truck would not retract back after he dropped the cordwood. Ward just smiled and gave the hydraulic system a few raps with a vice grip and the truck bed came back down. “Happens from time to time” he said and he thanked me for the business and drove away with a wave.
Now, I don’t know exactly what happened three year ago, but it appears that the man was protecting his property. Nobody was harmed during the encounter and this man his facing three years in prison. The meeting that I had with Ward led me to believe that he was a man of good character. I also believe a person has a right to protect his home and family. The Founding Father’s guaranteed individual rights in the Constitution. Something tells me that they are rolling in their graves with the fate of Ward Bird. Sean Kenneally Meredith
A nice gesture by an anonymous stranger had me smiling all day To the editor, This is my first letter to this paper, but in this world today it seems that all we hear is bad news about unemployment,taxes, health care, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the list goes on. People seem to be in such a hurry today, that manners, morals and smiling are very limited. But, today something happened at about 8 a.m. that renewed my faith in people. I bought a medium regular coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts in Lakeport. $1.95 was my cost. When I got to the window the young lady handed me
my coffee and I in-turn gave her my money, but she said, “You are all set, the car ahead of you paid for you.” I was very surprised and I in turn gave her the money and said to put it towards the bill of the car behind me. So to whoever you were, I wish to say “Thank You Very Much”, it was just a plain unselfish, nice gesture. It made me feel good and I was smiling all morning. So in closing, there are people in this city, state and USA who still are good, caring and unselfish. Connie LaChance, Laconia

LACONIA — City Manager Eileen Cabanel told the City Council last night that this year a decrease in the total assessed valuation of taxable property has led to a corresponding increase in the tax rate. Property values fell from $2,114,274,299 in 2009 to $1,921,998,436 in 2010, a drop of $192,275,866, or 9.6-percent. Cabanel projects the tax rate will rise from $18.04 per $1,000 of assessed value to $19.78, an increase of $1.74, or 9.1-percent. The city portion of the tax rate is projected to increase from $6.95 to $7.68. Cabanel said that city expenditures shrank by approximately $116,000, but at the same time, for the second consecutive CRUISER from page one got back into his pickup and headed south. A woman in the neighborhood called police to tell them one of their cruisers was on her neighbor’s lawn. Gilmanton Sgt. Dennis Rector said Patrol Officer Robert Akerstrom was on patrol when he saw Davis and started pursuing him down Route 107 toward Pittsfield. According to N.H. State Trooper William Graham, after Davis and Akerstrom reached downtown Pittsfield and in an attempt to elude Akerstrom, Davis

year the state withheld about $610,000 of municipal revenue sharing. The local share of the School District tax is projected to rise from $7.45 to $8.19 while the rate of the statewide education property tax climbs from $2.32 to $2.49. Cabanel said that she anticipates the New Hampshire Department of Revenue to certify the tax rate next week, after which tax bill be mailed as soon as possible. She urged taxpayers to compare their property value and tax bill with their value and bill in 2009, indicating that except for the minority whose property appreciated in value, the tax bills should be about the same.
allegedly rammed the Gilmanton SUV in an attempt to disable it. Rector said Akerstrom was not injured. He said Davis allegedly continued to flee and allegedly drove about four miles down Clough Road where he stopped and was taken into custody by the Pittsfield Police. Graham said he was called to investigate the crash and the charges faced by Davis in Merrimack County stem from his alleged action in Pittsfield, which are two counts of driving while intoxicated, two counts of aggravated driving while intoxicated, one count of reckless conduct, one count of conduct after an accident, one count of disobeying a police officer, and felony level reckless conduct. Laconia Police chief Michael Moyer said Laconia will be coming forth with their own charges against Davis, which will likely include criminal mischied and taking without owner’s consent. Rector said he will be facing charged on disobeying an officer and reckless operation for his actions in Gilmanton. He said the police SUV sustained about $4,000 in damage to the right front quarter and should be fixed within a few weeks.

About 75 supporters of imprisoned Moultonborough farmer Ward Bird protest on Monday in front of the Statehouse in Concord. They want Bird pardoned and the law that found guilty of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon under changed. Representative Betsy Patton (right) of Bird’s hometown attended the rally and said she will introduce a bill to make it legal in N.H. to brandish a weapon in defense of person or property. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Michael Kitch)
WARD BIRD from page one the day after the doors of the New Hampshire State Prison closed behind Bird. “This is not a bunch of bad people trying to protect someone who is worse,” said Chris Shipp, a Laconia firefighter. “It’s a bunch of good people trying to protect someone who is better.” Bird, the father of four children, has been a leader of the local Boy Scout troop. One sign reading “Good Man, Bad Law, Ugly Sentence” captured the sentiments of his supporters. In 2006, Bird was found guilty of criminal threatening when the Carroll County Attorney’s office successfully argued that he brandished a handgun while ordering a woman off his property, which was festooned with “private property” and “no trespassing” signs. Criminal threatening with a deadly weapon carries a mandatory minimum sentence of three in prison for a first offense. Earlier, Bird declined an offer to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge, which would have spared him imprisonment. Bird appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court. He claimed that since the woman criminally

Furthermore, he contended that there was no evidence that he intended or threatened to use the gun to support the charge of felony criminal threatening or the imposition of the mandatory minimum sentence.

Union Ave. apartment house fire called suspicious because of place of origin By AdAm drApcho LACONIA — Fire Chief Ken Erickson said there was something strange about an apartment building fire that the department was called to Sunday night. He called the blaze “suspicious” and said it is under investigation by one of his deputy chiefs and police detectives. The building’s owner believes the origin of the fire may have be connected to the breakup of a personal relationship. The Fire Department was called to 180 Union Avenue at about 9:21 p.m. Sunday, where Lieutenant Chris Shipp called in a first alarm after entering and finding smoke inside the three and a half-story, 15-unit apartment building. Lieutenant Kirk Beattie, who Erickson said was off duty and responded from home, found a male victim outside of the building who was suffering from what Erickson called, “severe respiratory distress” after he reportedly ran through the house to alert other residents of the fire and inhaled smoke in the process. Beattie also had to call police for support after arriving to find an “unruly” crowd of what Erickson estimated to be at least 50 people on the scene. The man suffering respiratory distress, Erickson said, was transported to Lakes Region General Hospital and has since been discharged. “The number of uncooperative people involved in the fire was amazing,” said Erickson. Many people who were on scene refused to identify themselves for fire officials and complained
about the department’s response time, Erickson said. However, he said the fire wasn’t immediately reported to emergency dispatchers, and when it finally was called in, by a 16 yearold girl, the chief said his department responded promptly. “It was definitely a suspicious fire,” said Erickson. The fire started, and was mostly contained, within what he called a “void space” that was located on the ground level of the building beneath a stairwell. The space, about four feet wide, 20 feet long and five feet high, was initially used as a porch but for decades has been closed off. Erickson described the fire as suspicious because, “there appears to be no natural causes” for the fire to start where it did, and the start of the fire was “in an area prone to rapid fire spread.” Responding firefighters had to use chainsaws to access the space and put out the fire. Between the access issues, the rowdy crowd and the medical emergency, Erickson said his crew had no shortage of challenges when they arrived at the scene. “Overall, they did a great job of getting the situation under control – the potential for this fire to spread was huge.” Harry Bean of Gilford, the building’s owner, told The Daily Sun that one of his female tenants was involved in an argument last night that occurred when her ex-boyfriend paid her a visit and was displeased to find the woman entertaining a new suitor. Bean suspected it was more than coincidence that the spat and the fire occurred within a short period of time.
from preceding page a website — “freewardbird.org” — created to organize the effort. “We have two goals,” Tolman said, “to get Ward out and back to his family as soon as possible by whatever legal means it takes and get the laws changed.” Tolman said that Bird has been sent an application for a pardon, which he is expected to file at the earliest opportunity. Supporters of Bird are being encouraged to urge Governor
John Lynch to grant him an immediate pardon. Tolman also said that the committee is exploring what can be done to have Bird placed on work release or given home confinement. Last week Bird’s story was posted on the website of Ron Paul, the Republican congressman from Texas known for his libertarian principles who heads the Liberty Caucus on Capitol Hill and ran for his party’s presidensee next page

Dangers of sharing information in cyberspace described for students, teachers and parents BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Only about 20 people, many of them school officials, last night listened to Officer Jennifer Frank recreate the talk she gave about the perils of the Internet to students yesterday. Frank, who works for the Plymouth State University Police, used the forum at the forum to tell parents what’s really out there in cyberspace and why it can be so dangerous to their children. “This is a generation that thinks differently,” she said, noting that many of today’s youths think nothing about giving personal and private information to total strangers they “meet” on line on various social networking sites including Facebook and Skype as well as people they meet through gaming on X Box. Frank gave three talks yesterday to the school community — one to as assembly of seniors and freshman, one to an assembly of juniors and seniors and one to staff, Laconia Public Library, and SAU staff. She lectures around the state about Internet crime and cyber-bullying. She said monitoring computer usage at home no longer works because most youths access their social networking pages through their cell phones. Information provided by an unwitting child can provide their exact location to a would be stalker, give potential burglars information about how to break in a home or provide access to private password information. “This is a generation that is absolutely okay with letting everybody know where they are,” she said. “We want you to understand what people post and why it’s a big deal.” She used the analogy of a “sketchy guy” hanging around a field hockey game and asking teens about their private lives saying no one would give him any from preceding page tial nomination in 2010. Representative Betsey Patten (R-Moultonborough), who was present at the rally yesterday, said that she would file legislation entitling anyone to wield a firearm in defense of their property without incurring liability for criminal threatening. Last year, the Legislature adopted a bill (House Bill 160) which absolves of criminal liability anyone who responds to a credible threat of injury or death — wherever it may occur — by displaying a firearm or other means of self-defense. That law takes effect in January. In response to Bard’s plight, Patten’s legislation would expand that notion to entitle a person to wield a firearm in defense of their property as well as their person.

information, but teens are providing the same information to strangers on line. She also warned parents about other Websites that gather personal information — like Webkins, Farmville, and Aliases — a site that lets people make up fake names by gathering real information about them like their mother’s maiden name and other questions usually limited to security information at banks and on-line accounts. She also spoke about cyber-bullying. While Frank acknowledged that bullying in some form has always been a reality in school, she said cyber-bullying is particularly evil because the target has no way to get away from it. From the time they turn on their computer or cell phone to the time they’re in school and the return, the bullying continues. Oftentimes the bullying can spread to where people who don’t know the target get in on it. She said to imagine how they would feel, even as adults, if everyplace they turned people were making fun of them or telling them how worthless they were. “Get your kid’s passwords,” she said telling parents to know where and with whom their children are communicating. She also said recommended programs that parents could get to track their children’s on-line activity. COLONIAL from page one cent, for which “there are varying degrees of feasibility.” Cabanel said that Webb is in the process of gathering more demographic data, particularly on the numbers of seasonal residents and visitors. She said that Mark Okrant, professor of tourism management at Plymouth State University, has been contacted to assist with compiling the information. Cabanel also remarked that she has been in touch with several parties who have expressed interest in participating in the project, who she anticipates will soon tour the theater. Webb is slated to present a report next month and Cabanel expects to schedule a public meeting on the progress of the project sometime in January. The city has an option to purchase the downtown theater complex (auditorium, apartments and retail/ commercial space) for $1.47-million from the Baldi family but that option expires in about 11 months.

WOW Trail group gives first $5k to city for maintenance
PLUMBING & HEATING SERVICE & REPAIR
By Michael Kitch
MOST REPAIRS CHARGED BY THE JOB NOT BY THE HOUR!
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Diane Hanley, president of the private WOW Trail group, presented the City Council with a check for $5,000 last night as the first installment to a fund to meet the cost of maintaining the recreational pathway. Hanley said that annual maintenance costs have been estimated at $3,000 and remarked that the $5,000 is “to emphasize that we (the directors of the WOW Trail) are thinking of the long-term.” The City Council previously agreed to accept the project as a city-owned one on the understanding that the WOW Trail promoters would raise the funds to maintain the trail as well as to construct it. Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) said that “this shows

they’re committed to do this and I appreciate it.” Hanley said that a second installment of $5,000 would be forthcoming in a few months. She said that while the fund would defray the cost of routine maintenance, the directors anticipated they would be seeking grants to fund major projects like repaving. The council appointed Kevin Dunleavy, director of Parks and Recreation, and Luke Powell, assistant director of public works, to serve on the advisory committee overseeing the maintenance fund. Phase one of the trail, covering the mile between downtown and Lakeport Square, was opening to rave reviews early this year. The second phase will connect downtown with the Belmont town line to the southwest.

TSA chief warns against boycott of airport scans ATLANTA (AP) — The nation’s airport security chief pleaded with Thanksgiving travelers for understanding and urged them not to boycott fullbody scans on Wednesday, lest their protest snarl what is already one of the busiest, most stressful flying days of the year. Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole said Monday that such delaying actions would only “tie up people who want to go home and see their loved ones.” “We all wish we lived in a world where security procedures at airports weren’t necessary,” he said, “but that just isn’t the case.” He noted the alleged attempt by a Nigerian with explosives in his underwear to bring down a plane over Detroit last Christmas. Despite tough talk on the Internet, there was little if any indication of a passenger revolt Monday at many major U.S. airports, with very few people
declining the X-ray scan that can peer through their clothes. Those who refuse are subject to a pat-down search that includes the crotch and chest. Many travelers said that the scans and the patdown were not much of an inconvenience, and that the stepped-up measures made them feel safer and were, in any case, unavoidable. “Whatever keeps the country safe, I just don’t have a problem with,” Leah Martin, 50, of Houston, said as she waited to go through security at the Atlanta airport. At Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, Gehno Sanchez, a 38-year-old from San Francisco who works in marketing, said he doesn’t mind the full-body scans. “I mean, they may make you feel like a criminal for a minute, but I’d rather do that than someone touching me,” he said. A loosely organized Internet campaign is urging people to refuse the scans on Wednesday in what is being called National Opt-Out Day.
LACONIA — Police are seeking information about an armed robbery at the Premium Mart on Court Street Sunday night.
According to the clerk, a man came into the store, brandished a knife and told her to give the money from the register. The clerk was not injured. The suspect, a white male wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and a blue bandana covering his face, fled on foot. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Laconia Police Department at 524-5252 or the Laconia Crimeline at 524-1717.

Donations needed to keep alive tradition of free Christmas dinner at Methodist church in Gilford
GILFORD — For more than a decade the folks at the First United Methodist Church in Gilford have opened their hearts and doors to the public for a free Christmas Day dinner. With times being tough for many, the church is hoping to continue the tradition this year as well. Help is being sought from the community to make that happen. At 1 p.m. on Christmas day the Fellowship Hall of the church will be decked out in grand holiday fashion and the aromas of cooking ham will be wafting out of the kitchen. In the past 200 or more people from all over the central N.H. area have come here to share a great meal and some companionship on the holiday. All are welcomed and no one is every turned away. Meals are even packed up and delivered to shut-ins or sent home with folks to make the coming days less hungry. This year the congregation and friends of the Methodist church need a little extra help to get the food on the table. Dinner Chair Jessica Alward says, “We have been so lucky for a very long time to great people make donations to keep this meal happen-
ing. We have asked a lot of them over the years and they have always stepped up. Now is the time for some additional folks to be able to jump in and lend a hand.” The dinner committee anticipates a huge turnout for the dinner this year and donations from its usual supporters, are down this year as the economy has affected everyone. “We are asking for help from individuals, community groups and businesses. No donation is too small or too big! If we put a lot of little donations together we can do this or if we get a couple of larger donations that will be great too!” said Alward. The meal will consist of ham, carrots, stuffing, potatoes and all the trimmings, including homemade pies. There is no cost to those who come to eat and transportation can be arranged for those needing it. If you would like to help make keep this holiday mission alive, contributions should be made out to Charles Keysar, Dinner Chair at 10 Carver St. Laconia, NH 03246. If you would like more information on the dinner itself call Alward at 527-0152.

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though you might start the day feeling on edge or even snippy, you will quickly see the benefit of trading in your attitude for gratitude. Good things happen because you approach your daily routine with loving thoughts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It is someone’s job to make you believe you need something that you, in fact, do not need now and never will. Make it a rule not to fix things that are not broken. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Love is without conditions. The one who keeps trying to manipulate you emotionally by threatening to take away the love they give is not giving true love in the first place. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You cannot try for the score without taking a risk. As you run for the goal, you are out in the open and, to some degree, defenseless. That’s why you need supportive and encouraging people around you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Tell people what you’re up to. There are unexpected helpers only a few connections away, though they will never get the opportunity to help if they don’t know what you need. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 23). You do way more than your fair share and will be financially rewarded for your extra effort. Family makes you proud in the next 10 weeks. You’ll be celebrated for your many talents in January. Relationships go from being platonic to romantic to platonic to romantic ... and on and on. June and October are perfect for travel. Scorpio and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 11, 39 and 32.
Get Fuzzy
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Confidence imprints in a very positive way on what you do, as long as you do what you know is correct, right and true. Being confident in an area you know little about, however, could get you into trouble. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have toughened up in some respect, and that’s why you are permitted to move into more competitive arenas. The stakes will be raised, and you’re ready for this new game. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your choices will be affected by the flow of traffic you meet at the intersection. Try to anticipate what others want, but keep in mind what you want, too. Be mindful of the rules, and all will cross safely. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have a challenge ahead of you today. The trick is for you not to worry about what anybody else would do. This is about you and your creative choices. Believe in yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can read about a job, but what really counts will be getting in there and experiencing it firsthand. That’s why volunteering to work for free may be better than paying for special schooling. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Business gets off to an energetic start. In order to keep up the production level, you’ll need to find a way to keep things fresh. Take a break midway through the day, or add a new player to the mix. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Take time for doing what you like to do. Following your interests will lead to new connections. You’ll meet a friend and/ or potential love match while pursuing a hobby, playing sports or helping with a political cause.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Nov. 23, the 327th day of 2010; with 38 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 23, 1910, American-born physician Hawley Harvey Crippen was hanged at Pentonville Prison in London for murdering his wife, Cora. (Crippen’s mistress, Ethel Le Neve, was acquitted in a separate trial of being an accessory.) On this date: In 1765, Frederick County, Md., became the first colonial entity to repudiate the British Stamp Act. In 1804, the 14th president of the United States, Franklin Pierce (puhrs), was born in Hillsboro, N.H. In 1889, the first jukebox made its debut in San Francisco, at the Palais Royale Saloon. In 1903, singer Enrico Caruso made his American debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, appearing in “Rigoletto.” In 1943, during World War II, U.S. forces seized control of Tarawa and Makin (MAH’kihn) atolls from the Japanese. In 1959, the musical “Fiorello!,” starring Tom Bosley as legendary New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, opened on Broadway. In 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed Nov. 25 a day of national mourning following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In 1996, a commandeered Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 767 crashed into the water off the Comoros Islands, killing 125 of the 175 people on board, including all three hijackers. One year ago: One of the worst massacres in Philippine history took place as gunmen targeted an election campaign convoy in southern Maguindanao (mahGIHN’-dah-NOW’) province, killing 57 people. Joe Mauer became only the second catcher in 33 years to win the American League Most Valuable Player Award, finishing first in a near-unanimous vote. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Michael Gough (goff) is 93. Former Labor Secretary William E. Brock is 80. Actor Franco Nero is 69. Actress Susan Anspach is 68. Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas is 66. Actor Steve Landesberg is 65. Actor-comedy writer Bruce Vilanch is 63. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is 60. Singer Bruce Hornsby is 56. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., is 55. Actor Maxwell Caulfield is 51. Actor John Henton is 50. TV personality Robin Roberts (“Good Morning America”) is 50. Rock singer-musician Ken Block (Sister Hazel) is 44. Rock musician Charlie Grover is 44. Actress Salli Richardson-Whitfield is 43. Actor Oded Fehr is 40. Rapper-actor Kurupt (Tha Dogg Pound) is 38. Actor Page Kennedy is 34. Actress Kelly Brook is 31. Actor Lucas Grabeel (GRAY’-beel) is 26. Actress-singer Miley Cyrus (TV: “Hannah Montana”) is 18. Actor Austin Majors is 15.

Public counter now open for emergencies at National Passport Center in Portsmouth
PORTSMOUTH — Public counters are now open at the National Passport Center in Portsmouth, serving residents of New Hampshire and the surrounding region. The public counters are an addition to a large passport processing facility which opened in 1992. Previously closed to the public, the National Passport Center processed approximately half of all passports issued nationwide in Fiscal Year 2010. U.S. citizens with urgent travel plans will now be able to apply in person, and passport books will be issued onsite. Funded by the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, the new public counters are located at 207 International Drive. The National Passport Center employs more than 850 government and contract employees. Other ARRA-funded renovations to the Center will be completed in early 2011, and will also help the Center better serve U.S. citizens. Travelers with urgent travel requirements may schedule an appointment at the National Passport Center or other regional passport agencies through an automated appointment system at 1-877-487-2778. More information is available at www.travel.state.gov.
CONCORD — The New Hampshire Local Government Center (Municipal Association) has recognized Belmont as Gilford as having published outstanding town reports for 2009. The towns were among 21 municipalities honored at a Nov. 18 luncheon held

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband and I regularly go camping with several other couples. There is usually drinking going on throughout the day. The wife of one of the other couples seems to pay a great deal of attention to my husband. Recently, we were sitting on the sand together, and “Colette” sat down in front of me and, ahem, lost her balance. She put her hand on my husband’s thigh to steady herself and left it there for approximately an hour. Colette hangs around him a lot and is clingy. When I mentioned her behavior to my husband, he said I was overreacting and that she was just drunk. He claims she is the touchy-feely sort with everyone. But I don’t see her doing it with anyone else. I think Colette is crossing the line, and it’s causing some problems between my husband and me. Should I be concerned or just let it roll? -- Wondering Wife Dear Wondering: Drinking lowers inhibitions, but it doesn’t mean Colette isn’t aware of her flirting. And your husband probably enjoys it. He should put a stop to it, but since he apparently has no intention of doing so, you could take a more proactive stance. If Colette trips and falls on your husband’s lap, grasp her hands and pull her up, exclaiming, “My goodness! I hope you’re OK.” Then make sure you sit down next to your husband and place Colette on your other side. If she puts her hand on his thigh, bring her a fresh, non-alcoholic drink and put it in that hand. We’re sure you can think of other “innocent” ways to make sure she keeps her hands to herself. Dear Annie: My mother has had Alzheimer’s for more than eight years. At first, I moved her into my home and took care of her, but it became impossible. My sister, God bless her, then moved Mom to a nursing home in her state, where they take great care of her.
When my mother was well, I spent a lot of time with her, took her to Europe and enjoyed a three-week vacation with her. But I haven’t seen Mom since she moved into the nursing home. I want to remember her my way -- happy, laughing, just being herself before Alzheimer’s overcame her. My sister feels that I should see Mom at the nursing home. But, Annie, she wouldn’t know who I was, and I couldn’t take the heartbreak of seeing her like that. My sister is at her wits’ end with me. Am I wrong to not want to go? -- Pam Dear Pam: Please go see your mother. This isn’t about what makes you comfortable. It’s about showing respect for Mom and alleviating the stress that your sister has taken on by being the only family member to visit. Mom deserves to be acknowledged and loved in all her incarnations. You will still remember the wonderful, happy times you had with her, but you will never have another opportunity to say goodbye. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “At a Loss,” whose mother compulsively hoards at home, yet manages to be well-organized at her job. That situation is similar to one my late father encountered some years back. He frequently used the services of “Louise,” a 50-something secretary who did exceptional work and typed neatly. She corrected my Dad’s spelling and punctuation errors, as well. When she came to the office, she was dressed to the nines -- tasteful and sophisticated. When I hired Louise to type my master’s thesis, I needed to visit her home several times, and it was a dump with garbage and trash stacked everywhere, with only a narrow path leading from one room to the next. Two years after that, Louise broke down entirely and stopped caring for herself. She had no family nearby, so my father and several people from her church ended up having her committed in order to protect her. -- Sad Story in Michigan

Emergency Food Pantry in Meredith receives infusion of funds thanks to yard sale hosted by Inter-Lakes Education & Support Staff Associations MEREDITH — A successful indoor yard sale held recently by the Inter-Lakes Education Association (ILEA) and the Inter-Lakes Support Staff Association (ILSSA) raised $2200 for the Meredith Emergency Food Pantry. The November event was a true community enterprise, with residents and Inter-Lakes staff cleaning out and donating items for sale. The multi-purpose room at the elementary school was filled to capacity with shopping enticements. The Wine’ing Butcher, Hannaford’s, The Meredith Station, and E.M. Heath’s Supermarket provided raffle donations for the event, which were won by Louisa Bryant, Billie Jo Furbish, Anne Smith, and Grace Ainsworth. At the end of the day, items were donated to Goodwill, St. Vincent DePaul’s and the recycling center store. Baked Goods went to the Senior Center, gift baskets went to the Christmas Fund, children’s books went to students in need at school, and yarn was given to the knitting intramural at school and also the Southern New Hampshire Services group. The yard sale capped off a two-year effort by the staff at both the elementary and high school, who collected food on a weekly basis.
Members of the Inter-Lakes Education Association and the Inter-Lakes Support Staff Association present a check for $2,200 to Paul Rowley, director of the Meredith Emergency Food Pantry. In the photo (l-r) are Tim Hayman. Sandy Blake, Cyndy Lesperance, Rowley, Alesia Parks, Julie Krisak and Nancy Wiggins. (Courtesy photo)
