Corrections officials will allow Ward Bird to be transferred to Carroll County Jail BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — Ward Bird will be allowed to serve his sentence at the Carroll County Jail in Ossipee and not the N.H. State Prison in Concord. The arrangement, agreed to by Department of Corrections Commissioner Christopher Wren was announced Tuesday by Sen. Deb Reynolds (D-Plymouth) and State Rep. Kate Miller (D-Meredith). Commissioner Wren told me this afternoon, “ said Reynolds, ‘that he had developed a plan, in conjunction with the Carroll County authorities, that will allow Mr. Bird to serve one year in Ossipee, which is closer to his wife and daughters.” The Birds farm in Moultonborough. The story of Bird’s conviction for criminal threatening with a gun for what he said was the simple defense of his home and family has taken on statewide, if not national, importance. No one was injured in the incident involving a woman who became see BIRD page 5

State gambling tax scares ‘whales’ away from Belmont; The Lodge ceases simulcast betting & lays off 22 people BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — The Lodge at Belmont announced this week that simulcast race wagering has been suspended and 22 employees let go as the sour economy and state gambling tax have slowed action at the venue to a crawl.
General Manager Rick Newman said yesterday that on top of the flagging economy the tax on gambling winnings, which has been levied since July 1, 2009, was “the last straw.” Although the tax has taken a toll on the other gambling venues — Rockingham Park in Salem and Seabrook Greyhound Park — it has weighed most heavily on The
Lodge, which has traditionally courted heavy bettors — “whales” — with rebating and account wagering by telephone. He estimated that two-thirds or more of the wagers on simulcast thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing taken at The Lodge are placed by telephone by players from out of state. see LOST JOBS page 4
Gilford welcomes its own version of the big dig with open arms GILFORD — After a series of lengthy, sometimes stormy, meetings with the selectmen and residents stretching over the past five years, representatives of the
New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) received a warm welcome when they presented their decision to require the removal of all the con-
taminated material from the site off lower Liberty Hill Road to fewer than two dozen people at the library last night. see COAL TAR page 8

‘SpiderMan’ musical hits Broadway NEW YORK (AP) — Creating a megamusical is no easy feat, even in the hands of U2 megastars Bono and The Edge. “Easier than we could ever have imagined. Harder than we ever thought,” says Bono, resting on a Times Square hotel bed near where “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” is readying for its first preview. “I mean, easier in the sense that the music came to us effortlessly. Dreaming up the show, the scale of it, the flying sequence, the pop art opera that it is — that was all pure joy,” he adds. “What we didn’t realize was how difficult it is to stage this stuff, both technically and financially.” It’s been a long, strange trip for the rock duo’s first attempt at a Broadway show. But the end is in sight: Years of delays and behind-the-scenes shakeups will end Sunday when the public finally gets to see the reported $60 million musical for the first time. The first preview is naturally sold out. Bono and The Edge, the band’s lead guitarist, signed on back in 2002 to write the score in partnership with co-writer and director Julie Taymor, the Tony Award-winning creator of the Broadway hit “The Lion King.”
SAYWHAT... The less you know, the more you believe.” —Bono

Vatican declares condom use less evil than spreading HIV VATICAN CITY (AP) — In a seismic shift on one of the most profound — and profoundly contentious — Roman Catholic teachings, the Vatican said Tuesday that condoms are the lesser of two evils when used to curb the spread of AIDS, even if their use prevents a pregnancy. The position was an acknowledgment that the church’s long-held anti-birth control stance against condoms doesn’t justify putting lives at risk. “This is a game-changer,” declared the Rev. James Martin, a prominent Jesuit writer and editor. The new stance was staked out as the Vatican explained Pope Benedict XVI’s comments on condoms and HIV in a book that came out Tuesday based on his interview with a German journalist. The Vatican still holds that condom use is immoral and that church doctrine for-
bidding artificial birth control remains unchanged. Still, the reassessment on condom use to help prevent disease carries profound significance, particularly in Africa where AIDS is rampant. “By acknowledging that condoms help prevent the spread of HIV between people in sexual relationships, the pope has completely changed the Catholic discussion on condoms,” said Martin, a liberal-leaning author of several books about spirituality and Catholic teaching. The development came on a day when U.N. AIDS officials announced that the number of new HIV cases has fallen significantly — thanks to condom use — and a U.S. medical journal published a study showing that a daily pill could help prevent spread of the virus among gay men. “This is a great day in the fight against AIDS ... a major milestone,” said Mitchell
Warren, head of the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition. Theologians have debated for years whether it could be morally acceptable for HIV-infected people to use condoms to avoid infecting their partners. The Vatican years ago was reportedly preparing a document on the subject, but it never came out. The groundbreaking shift, coming as it does from the deeply conservative pontiff, would appear likely to restrain any public criticism from Catholic conservatives, who insisted Tuesday that the pope was merely reaffirming the church’s moral teaching. Conservatives have feared that a comment like this would give support to Catholics who want to challenge the church’s ban on artificial contraception in an environment where they feel they are under siege from a secular, anti-Catholic culture.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A jawbone found on an Aruba beach does not belong to missing Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, prosecutors in the Dutch Caribbean island said Tuesday. The jawbone is human, though it is unclear who it belongs to. Dutch investigators compared the lone tooth on the bone with dental records supplied by Holloway’s family and “it can be ruled out that the bone fragment came from Natalee Holloway,” the prosecutors said. The bone was found recently by a tour-
ist on a beach, and Aruba prosecutors had asked forensic scientists in the Netherlands to analyze it. They assured that the Holloway case has “the constant attention from law enforcement on the island.” But John Kelly, an attorney for Holloway’s mother, Beth Twitty, hinted that the media apparently found out first about the test results. “Beth accepts the forensic conclusions, is emotionally exhausted from the inexplicably long wait and deeply disappointed in the time and manner in
which she learned of the results,” he said in a statement. “Apparently Aruban prosecutors were more sensitive to media concerns than the painful vigil of a mother.” It is unclear how exactly Twitty learned of the results. Family spokeswoman Sunny Tillman did not immedately return a message seeking comment. Tuesday’s announcement once again eliminates a hope of evidence about the fate of the Mountain Brook, Alabama, student who disappeared while on a high school graduation trip in 2005, when she was 18.

Tensions high as North & Senate committee chair calls final FRM report South Korea trade shellings ‘balanced’ but other lawmakers not happy with it
INCHEON, South Korea (AP) — North and South Korea exchanged artillery fire along their disputed frontier, raising tensions between the rivals to their highest level in more than a decade. The communist nation warned of more military strikes if the South encroaches on the maritime border by “even 0.001 millimeter.” The skirmish began Tuesday when North Korea warned the South to halt military drills near their sea border, according to South Korean officials. When Seoul refused and began firing artillery into disputed waters — but away from the North Korean shore — the North retaliated by shelling the small island of Yeonpyeong, which houses South Korean military installations and a small civilian population. Seoul responded by unleashing its own barrage from K-9 155mm self-propelled howitzers and scrambling fighter jets. Two South Korean marines were killed in the shelling that also injured 15 troops and three civilians. Officials in Seoul said there could be considerable North Korean casualties. President Barack Obama pledged that the U.S. would defend South Korea after what the White House branded a provocative, outrageous attack by North Korea on its neighbor. “South Korea is our ally. It has been since the Korean war,” Obama said in his first comments about the North Korean shelling. “And we strongly affirm our commitment to defend South Korea as part of that alliance.” Trying to avoid any escalation, the U.S. did not reposition any of its 29,000 troops in the South. Obama, speaking to ABC News, declined to speculate when asked about military options. He was expected to telephone South Korean President Lee Myung-bak late Tuesday night. The top U.S. military officer in South Korea, Gen. Walter Sharp, condemned North Korea’s “unprovoked” artillery attack in a statement Wednesday and called on the North to abide by the armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War.
CONCORD (AP) — A committee of state lawmakers met for the last time Tuesday to wrap up its report on the collapse of a mortgage investment firm, though some members said they’re still not satisfied with it. “This hits a balance,” said Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-Exeter, committee chairwoman, adding that the interests involved in collapse of Financial Resources Mortgage might not agree on the report. “I do think it is a road map for the next Legislature to follow ... in terms of setting policy forward,” she said. The 26-member panel was asked to review the state’s regulatory structure for securities and investments and recommend changes to laws and policies. It disbands when the legislative term ends Nov. 30. Committee members can still submit comments on the report through that day, and some indicated they would. Others signed off on it Tuesday. Rep. Sandra Keans, D-Rochester, said she believed the committee members agreed over how the collapse happened and that the main agencies involved — the state’s Banking Department, Bureau of Securities Regulation and Attorney General’s office — did not follow through on complaints about the firm. She said the report’s overall findings and conclusions “give me queasiness and heartburn” but did not mention specifics. The latest changes to the report highlight how people who lent money to the firm had researched it and found it to be a credible business, yet still were defrauded by it. The report also suggests that the next Legislature explore the creation of a victims’ compensation fund for the lenders, modeled after a state fund that reimburses people who have lost money due to theft or embezzlement by their lawyers. It includes revised conclusions about New Hampshire’s consumer protection act, saying it has “one of the weakest in New England.” It recommends
clearer jurisdiction for the state’s banking and securities regulators and better interagency communication to protect investors, lenders and consumers. It also recommends that private citizens be provided with more options to resolve complaints when they believe that regulators have failed to act promptly or appropriately. In another addition Tuesday, the report noted that the Bureau of Securities Regulation released its own report last week clarifying what a security is under the law. At least one lender expressed concern that the committee would use the Bureau’s report to make major changes to its own report that might influence how the bankruptcy trustee is trying to resolve lender claims. The committee’s report said it doesn’t believe the trustee will or should consider its findings and recommendations to be evidence. Ken Miller of Amherst, who lost about $760,000 to the firm, wrote a letter to the committee asking that it vote to defer action on the report, saying its work is incomplete. “The most serious problem in the FRM matter was lack of enforcement of existing laws by state officials,” Miller wrote. “Modification to laws will never correct poor management.” The committee’s work ends as a new investigation called by Secretary of State Bill Gardner is about to enter its second month of hearings. So far, it has taken testimony from numerous people who lent money to the firm and lost it. The hearing officer expects to call Scott Farah, the firm’s former manager, and assistant Donald Dodge. Both have pleaded guilty to fraud charges and await sentencing in federal court. Removal proceedings are scheduled to begin Monday against Banking Commissioner Peter Hildreth, who is accused of not doing enough to stop the firm’s actions.

Safe Boater group gets Manchester senator to sponsor bill that would repeal big lake speed limit By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — After roiling the Legislature for the past six years, the controversy over speed limits on Lake Winnipesaukee will resume when lawmakers return to the Statehouse in January. On behalf of Safe Boaters of New Hampshire, an organization formed in opposition to speed limits, Senator Lou D’Allesandro (D-Manchester) has filed legislation that would replace the fixed speed limits of 45 mph. in daylight and 30 mph. after dark with what is “reasonable and prudent under the existing conditions.” This same standard has figured in past debates about boat speeds, only to be rejected as too vague. D’Allesandro, the deputy leader of the Democratic minority in the Senate, counts seven co-sponsors of his bill — two senators and five representatives — all Republicans. In addition, four other Republican representatives, including Dave Russell of Gilmanton, have expressed support for bill. Scott Verdonck of Goffstown whose family owns property in Moultonborough is president of Safe Boaters of New Hampshire. He characterized the legislation as “a modification,” not a repeal, of the current law. In 2008, after four years of debate, the Legislature set limits of 45 mph. and 25 mph. beginning on January 1, 2009, but, stipulated that without further legislative action they would repeal as of January 1, 2011. Last year the Legislature repealed the repeal while raising the nighttime speed limit by 5 mph. As drafted the new bill would require vessels to proceed at “a safe speed that is reasonable and prudent under the existing conditions and with regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing LOST JOBS from page one From last year to this, the Lodge’s handle, or value of total wagers placed, has shrunk by half, from $28.8-million to $14.7-million as betting on simulcast thoroughbred racing plummeted from $16.6-million to $4.3-million. At the same time, the Lodge’s revenues were halved, dropping from $6-million to $3.1-million. Newman said that the dwindling volume of simulcast wagering cannot support the very high fixed costs of the operation. He said that suspending simulcast wagering rendered the 22 employees redundant. \The 10-percent tax on all winnings in excess of $6,000 was added to the state budget by the House
so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid endangering or colliding with any person, vessel, object or shore and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions.” The conditions include visibility, traffic and weather as well as the characteristics of the vessel, especially its stopping distance, turning radius and draft. In contrast to the speed limits, which apply only to Lake Winnipesaukee, the “reasonable and prudent” standard would apply to all inland water bodies and waterways throughout the state. Verdonck said that the language mirrors rule six of the Navigational Rules prescribed by the United States Coast Guard, which he stressed would bring New Hampshire into conformity with most other states. Pointing to the 21 tickets written during the two years the speed limits have been enforced, Verdonck insists that “speeding is not an issue on the lake” and the law is unnecessary. Sandy Helve of Nashua who summers on Bear Island in Meredith heads the Winnipesaukee Family Alliance for Boating Safety (WinnFABS), the group that spearheaded the effort to introduce speed limits. “The law works and works well,” she said. “I am disappointed that legislators would want to change a law that’s working.” She stressed that speed is “a critical safety issue” and the limits have enabled people to pursue diverse activities on the lake, from swimming to kayaking, assured of their safety. While acknowledging the role of WinnFABS, Helve said that repeated surveys have shown that “many, many people from all part of the state support the speed limits.” and Senate committee of conference at the eleventh hour of its last day of deliberations in 2009 The tax is pegged to the federal gambling tax as reported on the withholding form W-2G. However, unlike the federal tax and gambling taxes in other states, the New Hampshire tax allows no deductions for losses. “That is the fatal flaw in the tax,” Newman said, explaining that “a horse player could win $10,000 on the first race, place losing bets on the rest of the card, leave The Lodge broke and still owe the state of New Hampshire $400. It’s completely unfair,” he declared. He said that “it is the highest tax of its kind in the county. We knew the customers we lost,” he continued, noting that some wagered millions of dollars a year at The Lodge. “Believe it or not, there are people who make a living betting on horses and because of the tax they avoid New Hampshire.” Newman said that The Lodge will continue to see next page

from preceding page table games, including poker, and charity gaming and plans to introduce bingo in the new year. The venue also operates a restaurant and lounge and features live entertainment, both music and comedy. “We still have a payroll of about 40 people,” he said. Newman said that anticipates there will be an effort to repeal the gambling tax when the Legislature convenes in January, but added “it may be too late.” Failing an outright repeal, he said that parimutuel wagering, which has always been taxed, could be exempted from any tax on winnings or a deduction against losses could be added to the tax. The Torguson Gaming Group of Biloxi, Mississippi purchased the former Lakes Region Greyhound Park in September 2005 for $4.1-million after the track closed following the indictment of its general manager and assistant manager on federal charges of money laundering and illegal gambling. The new owners renovated the venue, adding dining venues and expanding gambling choices. Between 2006 and 2007, the handle jumped from $14.8-million to $58.3-million before slipping to $$47.1-million in 2008 as the economy began to slow.
BIRD from page one lost and trespassed on Bird’s homestead while searching for an ajoining property that was for sale. After the appeal of his 2007 conviction, for an offense committed in 2006, was denied last week by the N.H. Supreme Court, Bird began to serve a three to seven years in state prison. The sentence is mandated by law because he was convicted of a crime while using a firearm. Bird surrendered himself to Concord prison authorities on Nov. 17 and by the next afternoon his supporters had mounted a 200 person strong demonstration at the Meredith farm stand owned and operated by him and his family. Supporters, lead by his wife Virginia and some local businessmen and friends of Bird, rallied at the Statehouse on Monday, urging Gov. John Lynch to pardon Bird and commute his sentence. Bird’s attorney, Mark Sisti, said he was happy to hear Bird would be relocated to Ossipee but said the goal is a governor’s pardon. Wren has also said that after one year in Ossipee jail, Bird could be eligible for home confinement with an ankle bracelet and some kind of work release. The Bird family farm is the sole source of support for Bird, his wife and four children. Both Reynolds and Miller agreed that discretion is in order in this case, both because of the difficulties faced by the Bird family and the fiscal and space constraints already faced by the state’s prison system. Both also acknowledged that their terms as elected officials end on Dec. 1 but agreed that “being able to take action on behalf of our constituents deep concern for the Bird family is a gratifying way to wrap up terms of service.”

Pat me down! A revolt is apparently growing at the grassroots level — being fanned by politicians and right-wing talking heads — against the new procedures being used by the TSA to ensure that people with bombs and weapons don’t get on airplanes with you and me and our loved ones. If you ask me, it’s ridiculous. The revolt, I mean. Are people’s memories so short that they have forgotten that it was just last Christmas when a man with a bomb hidden in his underwear was caught on a flight to Detroit? Have we forgotten the “shoe bomber”? Have you turned on the television lately? As I write this, bomb-sniffing dogs have located a suspicious package at Logan Airport, and the cargo area has been cleared. And people are complaining about TSA pat-downs? I’m behind the TSA 100-percent in their efforts to secure safety in the sky. If anything, they need more discretion and more leeway to do their jobs properly. I travel a lot. I put my money where my mouth is. I’ve been through those full-body screens. Big deal. I’ve had TSA officials (women) poking at my underwire bra. Couldn’t care less. If it means the plane is more likely to take off and land safely, you can poke away all you want. Of course, having had children, mammograms and the occasional surgery, I’m way past worrying about modesty. I am lucky and blessed in not having any prosthetics, or the like, that need to be removed. Even so, I’d like to think that those who suffer from such great inconveniences would also be grateful — understanding the possibility that prosthetics could be used to hide explosives. To be sure, not all of the rules make sense. In an effort to avoid the appearance of profiling (even though every seasoned traveler will tell you to avoid the security line with the
Muslims ahead of you), I’ve been subjected to full searches by agents who recognized me from television. Why me, I asked one of them, a Fox fan, as we discussed whether Sean Hannity was really a nice guy (he is). He pointed out the mark on my boarding pass, which had assigned me randomly for supplementary screening. I’ve seen elderly ladies singled out for searches because they were traveling on one-way tickets. A waste of time, to be sure, but if it makes the system “seem” fairer, fine with me. But to limit searches in the name of personal modesty is just plain nuts. It’s particularly nuts when the people complaining are half-naked in the first place. I really did start laughing when a woman who looked like she was planning to hit a Hollywood club the minute we landed (top cut down to her navel, skirt cut up to her underwear) started complaining about the intrusiveness of the search. As for the men complaining that they don’t want their “packages” touched, I’ve got news for you: The TSA folks couldn’t care less about any package unless it’s potentially explosive. Have there been instances of TSA officials acting unprofessionally? No doubt. The same is true of doctors and nurses and orderlies, but we don’t have them examine us with our clothes on. By all means, people should complain if they are mistreated. But that has simply never been my experience. The TSA folks I see in action are overwhelmingly hardworking men and women trying to do a job that allows for no margin of error. My hat is off to them. And so is anything else they want taken off. Happy holidays. And travel safely. (Susan Estrich is a professor of Law and Political Science at the University of Southern California Law Center.

Liberalism & progressivism are indeed enemies of the Constitution To the editor: I haven’t written a letter for a while, for one reason: we’ve been quite busy at work. The other reason has been to take some time to study. I’d like to comment on the resent news story of Epsom School Board member Gordon Ellis’ resignation as chairman. I don’t know Gordon personally, yet I’d like to comment on at least some of what he said, that is that liberalism and progressivism are enemies of the Constitution, and the response it drew from the Epsom Central School staff. The Union Leader quotes Ellis as saying in an address to school children, that “liberalism” and “progressivism” were among the five “isms” he considers to be “enemies of the Consti-
tution”. The article goes on to say that he had the kids recite these isms. This whole episode seems all too symptomatic of the powerful constraints placed on meaningful speech in our country today. I know it’s a cliche, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not to their own facts. If you do the research you’ll find that liberalism and progressivism are enemies of the Constitution. You might be able to argue whether this is good or bad, good luck with that also, yet unless you are of the most inflexible liberal bias, if you do your homework you have to come to the conclusion that at least this much of Ellis’ statement is true: both liberalism and progressivism are enemies of see next page
LETTERS Obamacare replaces personal responsibility with warn nipples To the editor, Ed Allard, recently defeated Democratic candidate and supporter of every liberal crack-pot idea from the failed stimulus to cash for klunkers, is blowing the donkey bull horn again. That horn got stuffed with an old rag by voters on election day Ed, the election is OVER. The FINAL decision is also in from the U.S. Supreme Court concerning political contributions from corporations. This countries highest legal brain-trust has spoken. DEMOCRATS LOST. On November 2nd, the American people spoke .Democrats LOST AGAIN and bigger than at any time in the LAST 50 YEARS. Democrats spend, tax, bailout, handout and re-distribute the wealth agenda of the last two years is DEAD. People and most especially the independents who determine election outcomes HATE OBAMACARE by a margin of more than 6 to 1, based on exit polling. Interestingly, almost every Democrat running for office ran as FAST and as FAR as they could from Obama, their stimulus votes, Obamacare votes and their cap and trade votes. WHY? Maybe Ed can tell us. Democrats are still focused first on economic class warfare — RATHER THAN JOB CREATION. Ed wants tax increases for the wealthy. It is lousy logic. Many of the top earners in America (the top 10-percent) own small businesses established as “ S” corporations or partnerships. They pay their taxes as pass through companies at the individual rate. Tax increases for those millions of business owners means LESS HIRING and actual employment cuts. Democrats say the
economy and job creation are number one and then promote polices to kill them. Democrats see the rich as serving only one purpose and that is as the funding source to bankroll every scatterbrained, socialist-themed, giveaway, anti-capitalism, larger government idea they can dream up. Almost half of Americans already PAY NO INCOME TAX. How well does any nation work when half its population are not “stakeholders” in any political decisions. They want everything from others as it costs them NOTHING. OBAMACARE is a perfect example of that. Personal responsibility for one’s life is replaced by magnificent nipples attached to governments warm underbelly. The Democrats view for America is a population of wet nurse dependents devoid of responsibility for their own well being. Life is made better by legislating it, not working for it. America was founded on the principle of a better life for our children and grandchildren. If you think UNCONTROLED SPENDING, TAXING, BORROWING AND OVER-REGULATING is the right road then vote the donkey. If you like responsibility, freedom of choice, minimalist government, less regulation, more inscentivisation, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation not wealth distribution then you need to keep riding the elephant. The choices and visions for America could not be more disparate. The goal of every Democrat is an equal pie for all. The goal of every Republican is a larger pie for all. Tony Boutin Gilford
Bypass the foreigners by bringing your own bags to markets To the editor, Bev Buker’s letter of November 19 is an interesting response to the Chinese take over of all products. For awhile that is good, since Obama and liberals in our government have destroyed all our local businesses ability to compete. Obama wanted that to happen, in his open quest to destroy the USA. There are MANY companies that can produce far better than the Chinese, but not at China discounted prices. WAKE UP! Cost is what drives pur-
chasing for ALL, you, me, businesses. Are YOU willing to PAY extra for bags at your market, OR, be INTELLIGENT as we are, and bring your own carry-home bags? If not, don’t complain! Bev Buker, always BRING your own carry bags to the market, and thus BYPASS the foreigners. If YOU don’t do that, DON’T complain to us again! Jack Stephenson Gilford

LETTERS Thoughtful residents need to repudiate instigators of reckless conduct To the editor, A citizen (please note the anonymity) declared on the Moultonborough Citizens Alliance web site that I have “abused my power” by not recusing myself from a hearing when asked to by an applicant who has me “in court for violating his property”. This is exactly the kind of unfounded accusation that was addressed in my letter to the editor of this past week. I was never arrested nor in court for violating his or any other person’s property. Sleuths for the MCA may want to review the testimony from the Hammond hearing and search for documents at the courthouse to verify that I was not involved in any criminal acts. I made a donation to the Red Hill Outing Club to pick stones at their Sheridan Road site. Mr. Hammond got mad. Too bad. He had his day in court and the Red Hill Outing Club prevailed. Mr. Hammond did not divulge why I should be recused when asked at the hearing. Now imagine board meetings if all an applicant had to say was, “I want you and you and, oh yes,
you to step off the board for my hearing”, without giving cause. That would be a dysfunctional process. To callously assert accusations of criminality on my part is wrong and indecent. Yet, malicious and injurious accusations have been directed at a lot of good volunteers in Moultonborough for quite awhile. I have broad shoulders and I will deal with this, but there are some potential volunteers in the community that will not tolerate lies and innuendo as a requisite to serve the town and that is our collective loss. I hope that the town’s majority of decent, thoughtful residents repudiate instigators for their wreckless conduct and recognize the facilitators for their ulterior motives. This is not, as characterized by the MCA, “vitriol spewed forth from those in government”. Disagreeing with, but effectively working through issues and problems is challenging, but very doable. Attacking personalities is just plain wrong. Natt King Moultonborough
Laconia middle schoolers have completed Red Ribbon Week To the editor, The Student Council at Laconia Middle School recently completed a week of celebration and education for positive life choices. Red Ribbon Week was originally founded to honor the dedication of a Drug Enforcement Officer, Enrique “Kiki” Camerena, who was killed in 1985. His fellow officers and family wanted to ensure that his efforts were not lost with this tragedy. Positive promotion, education on empowerment, and the awareness of the effects of drugs on children and families continue to be the goal of this event which is recognized the last full week of October each year. The promotion, in conjunction with the Laconia Police Department and N.H. State Trooper’s K-9 units, was a great success. Students wore bracelets co-sponsored by the Laconia Middle School PTO to show their commitment to positive life choices, food items were collected to support our local food pantry, prizes were awarded daily during the students lunch time, and all students attended a grade
level assembly. The 6th grade class participated in a DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) revisit lead by Officer Michelle Cardinal and Officer Donald Kimtis of the Laconia Police Department. The 7th grade witnessed the expertise of our state’s K-9 team: Trooper George and his partner Niko, with support of Trooper Delucca and his partner Tyson, from Troop E, presented the roles, requirements and experience the K-9 Unit team offers the citizen’s of N.H. Our 8th grade classes were introduced to the SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) program with the help of Officer Steve Orton and members of the SADD chapter at Laconia High School. We would like to thank all members of the Laconia Middle School, LMS PTO, Laconia Police Department and N.H. State Troopers Association - Troop E for their continued support of Red Ribbon Week and meeting the needs of all of our students. Rebecca Sims, Advisor Laconia Middle School
MA Outing Club participated in maintenance of Red Hill Trail To the editor, Students from the Moultonborough Academy Outing Club recently participated in a community service project at the Lakes Region Conservation Trust’s Red Hill Conservation Area. Outing Club members joined LRCT Property Adopter John Oliver in cleaning waterbars and maintaining the Red Hill Trail which leads to the firetower. LRCT greatly appreciates the contributions of Moultonborough Outing Club members Aidan Conn, Kendall Graupner, MacKenzie
Graupner, Ashley MacDonald, Madelyn Maroun, Carly Nelson, and Lexi Welch, co-advisors Karin Conn and Carolyn Nelson, and parents Eric Graupner, Lori Graupner, and Dede Maroun in maintaining this popular hiking trail to the summit of Red Hill. With the tremendous generosity of donors, landowners, and volunteers, LRCT has conserved over 2,650 acres on Red Hill over the past 20 years, preserving this Lakes Region landmark for generations to come. see next page

COAL TAR from page one It has been estimated that 121,000 tons of soil will have to removed from the site in something on the order of 3,000 truckloads. An equal amount of clean fill will then have to be returned to the site. Ever since toxic coal tar, which was dumped some 60 years ago, was discovered on the site town officials and local residents have steadfastly insisted that the safety of the public and quality of the environment required nothing less than the removal of all the coal tar and contaminated soils. John Regan, supervisor of the hazardous waste remediation bureau at DES, said that the department’s decision, which was issued last month, was preliminary and would be followed by a public comment period. At the request of National Grid, a natural gas company which as the corporate successor of the firm that dumped the
coal tar is responsible for the cleaning up the site, the comment period has been extended to January 28. Once the period for comment closes, Regan said the department would issue its final decision within 60 days. Since 2007 National Grid has presented several plans for addressing the site. Initially the firm favored a proposal to remove 80-percent of the contaminated materials and contain the widely disbursed remainder within a slurry wall and beneath an impermeable cap. DES granted preliminary approval to the plan, but after it was challenged by McDonald Morrisey Associates, a hydrogeological firm representing the town, the agency deferred its final decision pending the results of tests to determine its effectiveness. When the test results revealed shortcomings in the plan, National see next page

HIS TEETH...
Russ Hart, of Hart’s Turkey Farm restaurant in Meredith, displays a tray of freshly-baked blueberry pies, which are among the many items being prepared in time for Thanksgiving Day, when the restaurant will feed an anticipated 1,600 people. If that weren’t enough, the Hart family has also continued the tradition of serving a free Thanksgiving dinner to the community. Named after Russ’s grandmother, the Mae Hart Dinner will be served at noon on Thursday at the Meredith Community Center. Organizers, who expect about 100 people to attend the meal and about 40 additional meals to be delivered to local homes, ask that those who wish to attend the free meal call 279-5631 to make a reservation.

from preceding page Grid modified it to include a system for pumping and treating contaminated groundwater remaining on the site, which required 18 pumps drawing five gallons a minute. DES rejected the company’s modified proposal in favor of requiring the removal of 100-percent of the contaminated materials on the site. Michael McCluskey, project manager for the site, explained that the latest National Grid plan failed failed to satisfy two of the 10 criteria required for approval. The first stipulates that any long-term management of the site, including the operation and maintenance of equipment, must be minimal. DES determined that inspection of the impermeable cap and slurry wall together with maintenance, adjustments and replacement to the pumping and treatment system would be required “beyond 140 years.” In addition, groundwater both inside and outside the containment area would have to monitored for a similar period. McCluskey said that the second
criterion specifies that the need for modifying the structural and operational components of the plan must also be minimized. Since the components of the plan must function for more than 140 years, he said that “we cannot know if the system can be maintained” for that length of time. He noted that it is very likely that elements of the system will require modification, while conceding it is difficult to foresee what changes might be required. If DES confirms its preliminary decision, National Grid could lodge an appeal with the Waste Management Council, whose 13 members appointed by the governor include representatives of the business sector, local government, medical community and academic institutions. If its appeal failed, the firm could further appeal to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, which would only reverse the decision if it were found arbitrary and capricious without addressing technical considerations. see next page

possible reallocation of the town Comstar, or ambulance revenue account, which will again appear on the town ballot as a separate item. Parenti has recommended taking $91,000 of the anticipated revenues that are now earmarked for new equipment purchases only and offsetting ambulance only expenses. “I think you’ve made a big mistake,” said committee member Glenda Bell who ended up in the minority. Selectman Chair Ron Cormier, who also has a voting seat on the committee said Parenti would be the third consecutive chief to recommend the position and that’s why he voted for the part-time inspector. In other action, the budget committee recommended the balance of the Fire Department’s budget — now $1,394,073 — should pass as recommended by selectmen. — Gail Ober

BELMONT — With Chairman Ron Mitchell casting the tie-breaking vote, the Budget Committee last night voted not to fund a part-time fire inspector in 2011. Fire Chief David Parenti made the recommendation that he said would greatly improve the ability of the department to stay up with the most current state requirements for inspections of existing facilities. Selectmen had recommended the position as part of their budget. While it would appear to be adding a new position in a tough economy, selectmen had also recommended eliminating the part-time 15-hour per week Land Use Department inspector and using that money toward a fire inspector who would also be available assist the building inspector if needed. The net cost to taxpayers would have been $9,000 — most if not all of which would have been offset by a

The president, speaking to ABC News, would not speculate when asked about military options. Obama called South Korean President Lee Myungbak later Tuesday night, saying the U.S. would work with the international community to strongly condemn the attack that killed the two South Koreans

The White House said the two presidents agreed to hold combined military exercises and enhanced training in the days ahead to continue the close security cooperation between the two countries. Obama assured Lee that “the United States stands shoulder to shoulder with our close friend and ally, the Republic of Korea,” the White House statement said. “President Obama said that North Korea must stop its provocative actions, which will only lead to further isolation, and fully abide by the terms of the armistice agreement and its obligations under international law,” the statement said.

Veterans Square church hopes half-price grocery program will be a big help to Laconia area families By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Evangelical Baptist Church at Veterans Square has instituted a new program for the region, one which they feel will help address a gap in social services. The church has become a partner site with Angel Food Ministries, a non-profit organization that allows people to purchase groceries at a considerable savings compared to what they would cost at a retail store. The program had
its first local delivery this weekend and organizers hope it will grow to be utilized by everyone who feels squeezed by the price of groceries. Andrew Matthews, senior pastor at the church, said the program came about because, “we were looking for something that would address a felt need in the community.” Church members wanted to find a way to serve their community, especially its vulnerable members. However, with several food see next page

from preceding page pantries and soup kitchens already established in the region, Matthews said the church was looking to add a new service. The idea of becoming an Angel Food distribution site was suggested by a parishioner who had recently moved from a region where the program was better known. Angel Food Ministries, which was started by a Georgia pastor in 1994, buys food in bulk directly from producers. Once a month, typically the last Saturday, boxes of fresh, frozen and non-perishable food items are delivered to sites around the country where they are picked up by the consumers. According to the organization’s website, the arrangement can save consumers 50-percent when compared with food prices at supermarkets. For example, a $30 box of food is purported to feed a family of four for a week, and if those food items were purchased at a supermarket they would cost $60. Matthews said the local church does not incur any expenses or revenues from the program. Although the opportunity is likely to be most useful to families that are struggling financially, there’s no eligibility requirements or other qualification process. Anyone can participate, simply by visiting www.angelfoodministries.com and placing an order or by contacting the church office. “It’s a hand up, not a hand out,” said Matthews, noting that there are many people who may not qualify for or pursue public assistance programs, but who are still struggling to feed themselves and their family. He added that the food is of comparable quality to that which is stocked at local supermarkets. There are some inconveniences to the system, he acknowledged, such as how the food only comes once per month, consumers can only choose between the various packages instead of ordering a la carte. As much of the food is frozen, customers must be sure that they have enough freezer space to keep their food. For many local families, though, the opportunity to spend less each month on groceries would be well worth the inconveniences. November’s shipment saw about 30 orders delivered to local families. The next shipment will arrive on December 18 and the deadline for ordering is December 12. While the church is not currently able to accept food stamps as payment, Matthews said Proudly Serving the Lakes Region for Over 20 Years!
that may change soon. “In this economy, it’s hard to stretch your dollars,” said Lois Hood, who is helping the church facilitate the program. “This is a way of helping to do that.” “We really felt we wanted to do something in our city,” said Matthews. “We’re hoping there are going to be hundreds of people in the Lakes Region that take advantage of the program.”

Local companies receive NH Job Training Fund grant LACONIA — New Hampshire Ball Bearing (NHBB) and AAVID Thermallow recently made a commitment to receive matching training grants through the New Hampshire Job Training Fund — a one million dollar matching grant program designed to enhance worker skills and improve the State’s economic development. “Receiving the Training Grant allows AAVID to provide a positive and tangible message to the company’s staff of their importance and value,” said AAVID’s Human Resources Director Susan Marble about the company’s new training grant with Lakes Region Community College (LRCC). “A company can’t provide quality services to their external customers unless they provide quality services to internal customers — the company’s staff,” added NH Ball Bearing, Inc. Senior Divisional Manager Gary Groleau. The Grant program matches a company’s training expenditures on a 1:1 basis. Grants may vary in size depending on a company’s need ($750 minimum) and is available through LRCC. “It virtually doubles training dollars,” stated Joe Hallgren, director of Workforce Development at LRCC. “The application is simple and LRCC personnel are here to assist in the process. Training can be provided on the college campus or on-site.” “With the grant, NHBB has the opportunity to provide our staff a unique and divergent curriculum that meets the needs of the adult worker,” added Groleau. “It has an incredible impact upon employee morale.” “Providing our employees ongoing training

(AP) Victor Martinez is joining the Detroit Tigers, bringing another powerful bat to a lineup that already includes slugger Miguel Cabrera. Martinez and the Tigers reached a preliminary agreement on a $50 million, four-year contract, a person familiar with the agreement told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal, which was subject to a physical, had not yet been announced. In 127 games this year with Boston,
Martinez hit .302 with 20 homers and 79 RBIs. Although he started 106 games at catcher and also can play first base, the Tigers might use him as a designated hitter. Detroit already re-signed third baseman Brandon Inge and shortstop Jhonny Peralta this offseason, and the Tigers added reliever Joaquin Benoit last week. They were looking for another big bat to go along with Cabrera, who hit .328 with 38 home runs in 2010 and finished second to Josh Hamilton in the AL MVP vote.

Pooch Café LOLA
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your understanding about what it will take to get a project off the ground is limited, but this will work in your favor. What you don’t know about, you can’t worry about. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t have to pay for expensive services just to be seen in a good light. Instead of paying someone else to make you look better, work on feeling better about who you are and what you have to offer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Someone you love needs a gentle reminder. If you let yourself get angry and frustrated, you could diminish what you have with this person. Stay calm and offer your loved one the benefit of the doubt. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are savvy, clever and strong. You will find a shortcut to getting your work out into the world, or you’ll find a way to get around a certain cost. Friends help in this endeavor. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are still those who confuse fake news with real news and who have a hard time determining reality from a ruse or a joke. You’ll help these people out and keep them from propagating lies accidentally. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 24). You accept yourself to a greater degree, and in a weird way, it makes it easier for you to change what you want to change about yourself, too. In the new year, you return to your ideal weight or train to create better health and fitness. Finances improve in December and March. There’s a personal breakthrough in June. Taurus and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 11, 49 and 18.
by Darby Conley
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will soon be able to afford something you’ve wanted, but you have to change your thinking in order to get to the finish line on this one. Keep acting as though you already have it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Doing nothing is a big risk right now. Not only could you lose out on a good opportunity, but you also could be passed over for future opportunities. Grab this bull by the horns. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll get your wish after you command it in just the way that pleases the dispenser of wishes. You may not know exactly who can deliver this wish, but keep asking and you’ll find out. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you pour your creative energy into a project, you are infusing it with magic strength. Your attention has real power. This is as good a time as any to start believing in your own talent. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A slight strain on a relationship will soon go away. There is nothing to discuss -just move on in love. Fill yourself up with fun, humor and good will, and you’ll become a magnet for more of the same. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Money isn’t everything. In fact, if you made a list of the most important things right now, money wouldn’t even make the Top 10. Stay focused on doing what feels right, and the funding comes when you need it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Things are happening in your career realm. Continue to put your feelers out there, and you will find just the opportunity you need. Keep telling yourself that what you want is affordable to you in every way.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Nov. 24, the 328th day of 2010; with 37 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 24, 1859, British naturalist Charles Darwin published “On the Origin of Species,” which explained his theory of evolution by means of natural selection. On this date: In 1784, Zachary Taylor, the 12th president of the United States, was born in Orange County, Va. In 1863, the Civil War Battle of Lookout Mountain began in Tennessee; Union forces succeeded in taking the mountain from the Confederates. In 1944, during World War II, U.S. bombers based on Saipan attacked Tokyo in the first raid against the Japanese capital by land-based planes. In 1950, the musical “Guys and Dolls,” based on the writings of Damon Runyon and featuring songs by Frank Loesser (LEH’suhr), opened on Broadway. In 1963, Jack Ruby shot and mortally wounded Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy, in a scene captured on live television. In 1969, Apollo 12 splashed down safely in the Pacific. In 1971, hijacker “D.B. Cooper” parachuted from a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 over Washington state with $200,000 dollars in ransom — his fate remains unknown. In 1987, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed on terms to scrap short- and medium-range missiles. One year ago: President Barack Obama played host at the first state dinner of his presidency to visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, an event marred by two gatecrashers, Tareq and Michaele Salahi. Today’s Birthdays: Basketball Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson is 72. Country singer Johnny Carver is 70. Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue (TAG’-lee-uh-boo) is 70. Rock-and-roll drummer Pete Best is 69. Rock musician Donald “Duck” Dunn (Booker T. & the MG’s) is 69. Actor-comedian Billy Connolly is 68. Former White House news secretary Marlin Fitzwater is 68. Motion Picture Association of America Chairman Dan Glickman is 66. Singer Lee Michaels is 65. Actor Dwight Schultz is 63. Actor Stanley Livingston is 60. Rock musician Clem Burke (Blondie; The Romantics) is 55. Record producer Terry Lewis is 54. Actor Ruben Santiago-Hudson is 54. Actress Denise Crosby is 53. Actress Shae D’Lyn is 48. Rock musician John Squire (The Stone Roses) is 48. Rock musician Gary Stonadge (Big Audio) is 48. Actor Garret Dillahunt is 46. Actor-comedian Scott Krinsky is 42. Rock musician Chad Taylor (Live) is 40. Actress Lola Glaudini is 39. Actress Danielle Nicolet is 37. Olympic bronze medal figure skater Chen Lu is 34. Actor Colin Hanks is 33. Actress Katherine Heigl is 32. Actress Sarah Hyland is 20.

LACONIA — What treasures are stashed around Laconia? We are about to find out. The Treasure Hunters Roadshow is on a world-wide treasure hunt and will be digging in City on the Lakes for five days, Tuesday, Nov. 30 through Saturday, Dec. 4. During this free event, the Treasure Hunters are expecting to see over 1,200 residents bringing in their rare and unusual collectibles! Locals will have a chance to talk to world-renowned antique and collectible experts, and it’s all free! The Roadshow will set up shop at The Landmark Inn, downtown. From Tuesday through Friday, the doors will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The hours on Saturday will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Recent finds include a 1960’s vintage guitar purchased for $100,000! Four gold coins were purchased from a local resident for over $72,000, Confederate money hidden in the walls of a residence that was uncovered during a remodel, Abraham Lincoln hand-written thank you letter, expressing gratitude for a night’s stay while traveling to Chicago, and much more. What kind of treasures will be revealed during the Laconia stay? Let’s find out together. You or your next door neighbor just might be the next to find a jackpot in the attic. Start digging now and be ready to have some fun and make some money. During this event at The Landmark Inn, our treasure hunters are hoping to see items such as coins and paper currency issued prior to 1965, toys,
dolls, trains, vintage jewelry, old and modern musical instruments, war memorabilia, gold and silver jewelry, costume jewelry, advertising memorabilia, swords, knives, daggers, and the unusual! Collectors are very serious about their hobby; so serious that they will pay a lot of money for the items they are looking for. Nearly all coins, vintage jewelry, musical instruments and toys made prior to 1965 are highly sought after by collectors. The Treasure Hunters Roadshow is a place where anyone in your community can connect with collectors from around the globe. Our treasure hunters make offers based on what our collectors are willing to pay. Then when someone decides to sell, they get paid on the spot and our treasure hunters send the item to the collector at their expense. Have fun with your search. Empty your jewelry box of broken jewelry, dig out your old teeth containing dental gold, find your gold coins, gold bars, etc. Gold is traded on the stock market and prices fluctuate daily. The Treasure Hunters will buy gold based on the day’s current gold value.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am running out of patience with my 24-yearold stepson. “Andy” lives with his mother, but in the same town we do. Since his senior year in high school, he has never finished anything he starts. He has tried college three different times at my husband’s expense. He simply quits going to class. He tried the military, but washed out after a week. Then he tried living in a separate state, but couldn’t seem to find a job and we paid for most of his expenses. The jobs he has had since only last a few days. He just stops going. Over the past five years, we have invested almost $40,000 in this young man. My biggest frustration is that every time we find out he has flunked out or lost another job, he has a huge meltdown and claims to be suicidal. My husband is then so thankful Andy is alive that there is no consequence for his behavior. My husband won’t even talk to him about his actions, let alone hold him accountable. Let me clarify that Andy has never actually tried to commit suicide. He only threatens. I’m beginning to think it is simply a way to manipulate his father. We’ve tried getting him into counseling and on medication for depression, but he stops any treatment, claiming that nothing works. He also apparently tells the therapists what they want to hear so he can get out of there. This is causing a huge strain on my marriage. My husband is angry because I don’t sympathize with Andy whenever he has an “episode.” The few times I have brought up my doubts about his son’s sincerity, we end up not speaking for a week. I really hate seeing my husband suffer like this. Any ideas? -- New York Dear New York: Has Andy been tested for Attention Deficit Disorder? He certainly sounds like a good candidate. You and your husband should also get into family counseling so you can both learn how best to deal with Andy’s behavioral issues. In the meantime, try not to get between your husband
and his son. You will lose. Dear Annie: I recently saw an announcement for a benefit dinner for the family of a 53-year-old man who had died unexpectedly of a heart attack. The proceeds would be used for funeral expenses. I fully support helping families who have unforeseen expenses in connection with high-cost medical issues, particularly if there are children involved. And if the death of a breadwinner causes sudden hardship, I can understand the request for contributions to the children’s education. But isn’t a benefit to cover funeral expenses going too far? -- Taken Aback in Michigan Dear Taken: A benefit dinner to defray funeral costs is a rather public advertising of the family’s poor financial situation and, therefore, in bad taste. Not to mention, the money used to supply food could be put to better use if the family is truly in dire straits. But no one is obligated to attend or contribute. Dear Annie: “Out of Concern” asked why her neighbor had body odor if she regularly showered. For many years, I used deodorants, antiperspirants, etc., but never had decent results. Finally, I decided that baking soda might do the job, and that’s what I’ve used ever since. I never did learn the real reason for my body odor, but who cares? In my bathroom storage cabinet, I have a small jar of baking soda with a cotton ball in it and I use it every day. As an extra dividend, I no longer have to wait after shaving my underarms before applying deodorant, to say nothing about the difference in cost. As you said, body chemistry is a factor, so this may not work for others, but something should. -- Nevada Dear Nevada: We appreciate these homespun remedies that are harmless and inexpensive. Thank you.

Jennifer Grey named ‘Dancing with the Stars’ champ Josh Hamilton wins AL MVP LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jennifer Grey was named the new “Dancing With the Stars” champ, despite painful neck and back injuries and a voting bloc for Bristol Palin. The 50-year-old actress, whose performances were almost always flawless during the season, beat out last-place finisher Palin Tuesday on the hit ABC show and actor Kyle Massey, who came in second. Grey and professional partner Derek Hough earned a string of perfect scores on their way to the mirrorball trophy. The couple consistently topped the judges’ leaderboard throughout the season, but Palin’s cadre of voter support led to some surprising upsets, including Brandy’s elimination after earning a perfect score last week. Palin’s improbable run to the finals had been championed by some conservative bloggers running get-out-the-vote campaigns. She came into the season finale in last place and said she was leaving her fate to the voters. “Going out there and winning this would mean a lot. It would be like a big middle finger to all the people out there that hate my mom and hate me,”
Sarah Palin’s daughter said during Tuesday’s show, which featured a reunion of the season’s cast members and performances from Christina Aguilera. Grey went into Tuesday’s telecast in first place and effortlessly remained there. Palin made it to the finals despite mediocre and at times poor performances. She said it was challenging to overcome the flurry of media coverage that erupted when she was voted in over Brandy — who had received a perfect score for her tango — on the hit show, prompting some viewers to question the veracity of the “Dancing” voting system. “Dancing” producers said Tuesday that “a record amount of activity” overloaded its online and telephone voting systems after Monday’s episode. “Some viewers reported experiencing difficulties registering their votes for the ‘Dancing With the Stars’ finale, which affected each finalist equally,” show producers said in a statement. “The issue was promptly addressed” and voting times were not extended. The judges had the final say Tuesday, when each of the three finalists performed two last dances for judges’ scores. Viewer votes counted for half of each competitor’s overall total. The season’s contestants got to perform one last number, with Brandy receiving a standing ovation for her two-step.

NEW YORK (AP) — Josh Hamilton thought back to the days when his career was derailed by drugs and alcohol. “I would say a 99 percent chance that this would never happen,” he said. “I mean, honestly, I think a lot of people would agree with that.” In one of baseball’s most inspirational turnarounds, the Texas Rangers outfielder was a runaway winner of the American League’s Most Valuable Player award Tuesday. Hamilton received 22 first-place votes and 358 points from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Former Cincinnati Reds teammate Joey Votto was voted the NL MVP a day earlier. Hamilton overcame eight trips to rehabilitation for addiction to lead the major leagues in batting average (.359) and slugging percentage (.633) and help the Rangers reach their first World Series. He had 32 homers and 100 RBIs despite missing time nearly all of September because of two broken ribs. After going on the disabled list in 2001 while in the minors, he became addicted to alcohol and cocaine. He didn’t play from 2003-05. “I do reflect. If I didn’t reflect, ‘I’ might start sneaking in there, a little ego might start sneaking in there, and that’s one thing I don’t want to happen,” Hamilton said. “So I do reflect and I think about where I was at my lowest time.”
