City Council the missing catalyst to getting something going downtown?

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Earlier this month, when the City Council balked at a request to spend $50,000 to design several amenities, including public restrooms, downtown, Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) questioned the piecemeal approach by asking “where’s the plan for downtown?” Warren Clement, who was among those seeking the funds, countered “what’s your plan?” Neither had an answer.

The impasse prompted the council to turn to Planning Director Shanna Saunders, who will report on the progress of implementing the recommendations of the Master Plan for the first time since it was adopted in May, 2007 when the City Council meets on Monday.

Downtown is included in a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District.

Nashua voters elected felon to N.H. House who is very familiar to Laconia police

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — As news of the first transgendered individual to win election to a seat in the New Hampshire Legislature works its way through the Internet, little to nothing has been said or written about Stacie Marie Laughton’s past — especially during her years in Laconia.

Laughton, recently elected as one of three lawmakers to represent Hillsborough County House District 31, is a convicted felon and served 4 1/2 months in jail in 2008 for conspiracy to commit credit card fraud. She was also convicted of tire slashing and at one point reportedly admitted

she faked illness to gain an ambulance ride from Weirs Beach back to the heart of Laconia.

According to N.H. State law, convicted felons can run for public office as long as they are not incarcerated and they have successfully completed any court-ordered probation.

According to a

source who is familiar with Nashua politics, District 31 largely consists of Ward 4 — a Democratic Party stronghold in the city center where voter turnout is traditionally low and both parties often find it difficult to field candidates. In the November election, Laughton bested two Republicans and neither she nor the two other Democrats were challenged in the September primary.

Laughton came to Laconia from Nashua, where she was raised, in 2003, to be near her parents, who had moved to Gilford. At the time, Stacie Marie was named Barry Charles Jr. and in 2005, during her first run for public office — the Laconia City Council see LauGHtON page 8

Saturday’s Powerball jackpot reaches $325 million

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Black Friday shoppers in many cities briefly detoured into lottery retailers, drawn off task by the prospects of winning a $325 million Powerball jackpot — the fourth-largest in the game’s history.

Chicago resident Clyde Gadlin, 65, emerged from the bustle of holiday shoppers on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue, to stop in at a 7-Eleven to buy his daily batch of Lottery tickets, including Powerball.

For him, the game is a chance to dream — a single winner’s cash payout would be nearly $213 million before taxes — and he tries not to let the long odds burst his bubble.

Lottery officials say they’re unsure what effect Thanksgiving and beginning of Christmas shopping season will have on sales, which normally pick up in the days before high-dollar drawings.

If Gadlin wins, he said he’d return to his grandfather’s farm in Heidelberg, Miss., see POWERBALL page 10

Gaza crowds surge at Israel border fence GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli troops fired on Gazans surging toward Israel’s border fence Friday, killing one person but leaving intact the fragile twoday-old cease-fire between Hamas and the Jewish state.

The truce, which calls for an end to Gaza rocket fire on Israel and Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, came after eight days of crossborder fighting, the bloodiest between Israel and Hamas in four years.

In a letter to the U.N. Security Council, the Palestinian U.N. observer Riyad Mansour called the situation in Gaza

“extremely fragile” and said Israel’s ceasefire violations and other illegal actions risk undermining the calm that was just restored.

Hundreds of Palestinians approached the border fence Friday in several locations in southern Gaza, testing expectations Israel would no longer enforce a 300-meter-wide (300-yard-wide) no-go zone on the Palestinian side of the fence that was meant to prevent infiltrations into Israel. In the past, Israeli soldiers routinely opened fire on those who crossed into the zone.

In one incident captured by Associated

Press video, several dozen Palestinians, most of them young men, approached the fence, coming close to a group of Israeli soldiers standing on the other side.

Some Palestinians briefly talked to the soldiers, while others appeared to be taunting them with chants of “God is Great” and “Morsi, Morsi,” in praise of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, whose mediation led to the truce.

At one point, a soldier shouted in Hebrew, “Go there, before I shoot you,” and pointed away from the fence, toward Gaza. The solsee GAZA page 11

CAIRO (AP) — Supporters and opponents of President Mohammed Morsi clashed Friday in the worst violence since he took office, while he defended a decision to give himself near-absolute power to root out what he called “weevils eating away at the nation of Egypt.”

The edicts by Morsi, which were issued Thursday, have turned months of growing

polarization into an open battle between his Muslim Brotherhood and liberals who fear a new dictatorship. Some in the opposition, which has been divided and weakened, were now speaking of a sustained street campaign against the man who nearly five months ago became Egypt’s first freely elected president.

The unrest also underscored the strug-

gle over the direction of Egypt’s turbulent passage nearly two years after a popular uprising toppled Hosni Mubarak’s authoritarian regime. Liberals and secular Egyptians accuse the Brotherhood of monopolizing power, dominating the writing of a new constitution and failing to tackle the country’s chronic economic and see EGYPT page 14

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Wal-Mart workers and supporters marched in protest at a number of stores nationwide Thursday and Friday, blasting the wages, benefits and treatment of employees of the world’s largest retailer.

The efforts seemed to do little to keep

shoppers away, though — Wal-Mart said it was its best Black Friday ever.

In Paramount, Calif., authorities arrested a small group of protesters Friday outside a Wal-Mart. Elizabeth Brennan of Warehouse Workers United said nine people, including three Wal-Mart employ-

ees, were arrested shortly after 12 noon for blocking the street outside the store in Paramount. At one point, however, more than 1,000 people blocked traffic outside the store, Sheriff’s Capt. Mike Parker told KNBC-TV. see WALMART page 14

Gas blast levels Springfield, Mass strip club, 18 people hurt “It looks like there was a missile strike here,” he said.

The victims were taken to two hospitals in the city. None of their injuries was considered lifethreatening, officials said. Those hurt were nine firefighters, two police officers, four Columbia Gas of Massachusetts workers, two civilians and another city employee.

Firefighters responded to the scene at 4:20 p.m. and were investigating the gas leak when the blast happened about one hour later. The cause of the explosion hadn’t been identified but was under investigation, they said.

Springfield, which has about 150,000 residents, is the largest city in western Massachusetts. It’s known as the home of the Basketball Hall of Fame, which is not in the vicinity of the blast.

The city has been rebuilding from damage it sustained in a June 2011 tornado.

The explosion happened in an area of downtown Springfield with commercial properties and resi-

dences. Area resident Wayne Davis, who lives about a block away from the destroyed strip club building, said he felt his apartment shake.

“I was laying down in bed, and I started feeling the building shaking and creaking,” he said.

The Navy veteran said the boom from the explosion was louder than anything he’d ever heard, including the sound of a jet landing on an aircraft carrier.

The blast was so loud it was heard in several neighboring communities for miles around. Video from WWLP-TV showed the moment of the explosion, with smoke billowing into the air above the neighborhood.

Mayor Domenic Sarno said it was through “God’s mercy” that nobody had been reported killed in the explosion.

“My thoughts and prayers are with the individuals that have been injured and the people who have been displaced,” he said, adding that emergency shelter was being set up for those unable to go home.

An official of the gas company said there were no signs of any additional gas leaks in the area but crews would be monitoring the area closely over the next two days.

(AP) — This season could mark the end of Black Friday as we know it.

For decades, stores have opened their doors in the wee hours on the day after Thanksgiving. But this year, major chains such as Target and Sears ushered customers in on Thanksgiving itself, even before the turkey leftovers had gotten cold, turning the traditional busiest shopping day of the year into a twoday affair.

Despite an outcry from some employees, both stores and shoppers seemed to like it. Some people went shopping with a full belly, going straight from the dinner table to the stores. Others slept off their big meal and went to the mall before daybreak on Black Friday.

VEGGIES from page 5 away from Beans and Greens he’s raising beef cattle, pigs and chickens and practices a rotational kind of grazing in which cattle are moved from one grazing area to the next, with the pasture then taken over by chickens and later by the pigs.

And having the animals out in the fields helps boost his production, he says, noting that the number of chickens raised went from 500 last year to 1,000 this year but grain cost was only up by 10 percent because the chickens were eating their natural diet, which includes grass, insects and worms, and were producing eggs with ‘’yolks to die for.’’

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A natural gas explosion in one of New England’s biggest cities on Friday leveled a strip club with a boom heard for miles and heavily damaged a dozen other buildings but didn’t kill anyone, authorities said.

Firefighters, police officers and gas company workers in the area because of an earlier gas leak and odor report were among the 18 people injured in the blast, authorities said.

“This is a miracle on Worthington Street that no one was killed,” Lt. Gov. Tim Murray said at a press conference.

The explosion in Springfield, 90 miles west of Boston, blew out all windows in a three-block radius, leaving three buildings irreparably damaged and prompting emergency workers to evacuate a six-story apartment building that was buckling, police said.

Police Sgt. John Delaney marveled at the destruction at the blast’s epicenter, where a multistory building housing a Scores Gentleman’s Club, evacuated earlier because of the gas leak, was leveled.

“I ate my turkey dinner and came right here,” said Rasheed Ali, a college student in New York City who bought a 50-inch TV for $349 and a sewing machine for $50 when Target opened at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving. “Then I’m going home and eating more.”

This new approach could become a holiday shopping season tradition.

“It’s Black Thursday and Friday combined,” said Jackie Fernandez, a retail expert at the consulting firm Deloitte. “This is going to be a new normal of how we shop.”

It won’t be clear for a few days how many shoppers took advantage of the Thanksgiving hours. But about 17 percent of people said earlier this month see CREEP page 15

Fresh vegetables year-round? That’s the goal of Gilford farmer

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Andy Howe points to several long rows of carrots growing at the back of a greenhouse at Beans and Greens Farm and says that in January he’ll be digging them up for his fall and winter Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) customers.

In the foreground, growing in the nutrient rich soil from Howe’s composting operation, are rows of spinach which are currently being harvested and were ready sooner than Howe expected. ‘’It’s hard to know exactly when to plant stuff because we’re working under new conditions of an extended harvesting season. We’re learning as we go along. But it’s exciting. There are so many new things happening here that it’s hard to stay on top of it all,’’ says Howe.

He said that in past years the growing operation at the farm was over long before Thanksgiving rolled around. But that’s now changed and he expects that in the not-too distant future he’ll have customers showing up at the farm year-round for things like lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, radishes, onions and even cucumbers. ‘’We’re learning lots of new ways to extend the harvesting season. We’ve got lettuce growing in our main field right now under plastic row covers and we’ve got radishes and baby greens under plastic in other fields. The covers raise the temperature by about four degrees but that’s enough to keep things growing, even in late November,’’ says Howe.

He says that the Fall and Winter CSA at the farm got a small start last winter, when it had about 15 customers and that he and his wife, Martina, have nearly 100 customers signed up this year and are trying lots of new techniques, both in the greenhouses and in the fields to keep the farm busy well into winter. ‘’We didn’t throw away anything we grew this summer. We either froze it or made something from it which we could sell. There’s lot of corn, green beans and grated zucchini in our freezers, along with soup mixtures and beef, pork and chicken from our farm that’s all part of the Fall and Winter CSA.

‘’He said that a recent frost was too much for the cucumbers being grown in one of the unheated greenhouses but that’s a lesson well learned which will see that greenhouse heated next winter.

The only greenhouse currently being heated is the one where tomatoes are being grown and the plants, which are raised in pots and climb to the ceiling along support strings, are now nearing the end of their productive growth. ‘’We’ve harvest 1,200 to 1,500 pounds of tomatoes AL $200EDGE ADDITION ALL TRIP WS REBATE ON BLADE PLO STRAIGHT c. 31 through De

from them and it’s gone really well. Our rows are fairly wide so next year we’ll be adding two more rows and will continue to have fresh tomatoes available right through into December,’’ says Howe.

Most of the onions, beets, and swiss chard are being grown in pots in the greenhouses because the buildings are located on compacted non-agricultural soils. Howe sees great promise for what he calls portable greenhouses some 50 feet long which can be built on rails and easily moved from one location to the next. ‘’We’ll be able to start crops in one location which we can keep warm and then move the greenhouse to the next part of the field and start another crop.

Howe, who grew up on a dairy farm, has seen a big transition in farming over the years, noting that the growing season now is nearly a month longer than it used to be. ‘’It’s really about September. When I was growing up you could expect a frost anytime after Labor Day. Now the first killing frost doesn’t come until after Columbus Day,’’ said Howe.

He said that he’s seen a change even more recently with mild winters, which allow for an earlier start for crops, and says that when Beans and Greens first opened in the 1990s he was planting five sequential crops of string beans and that is now up to seven. ‘’I guess climate change has something to do with that and from the standpoint of agriculture in the state it’s a plus for us that it’s getting warmer. But that brings it own problems too,’’ says Howe.

He said that he and his wife were prompted by visits to the Winter Farmer’s Market in Tilton earlier this year, where they saw many fresh vegetables being sold, to take a new look at what they could accomplish at their farm. ‘’It’s amazing to see the kinds of things which people can grow year round in this climate. I think we’re seeing the start of something big in local and regional agriculture which will have a major impact on how we get our food and even what kinds of food that will be,’’ said Howe.

He says that at his Timber Hill Farm just a mile see VEGGIES page 4

Walmart getting nothing but kicks from allies on left Black Friday always brings out the worst: long lines, short tempers and random outbreaks of shoppers’ rage. This year, Big Labor will ratchet up the Strikesgiving tension with professional grievancemongers and workers picketing at 1,000 Walmart stores nationwide.

Attention, Walmart directors: Mob appeasement never works.

They’ve tried repeatedly to stave off union thuggery through political “partnerships” and capitulation. It has failed and failed and failed.

As you may recall, the discount retail giant shocked many observers in 2009 when it announced it was embracing the principles of President Obama’s federal health care mandate. The nation’s largest private (and non-union) employer was joined by its perennial archenemy, the Service Employees International Union (then-helmed by frequent White House guest and deep-pocketed heavy Andy Stern) and the far-left Center for American Progress (run by Obama confidante John Podesta and funded by billionaire George Soros).

In their joint ObamaCare letter, the strange bedfellows declared: “As the nation’s largest private employer, the nation’s largest union of health care workers with over 1 million members and a think tank that has been a leader on health care policy, we have worked closely in support of health care reform since 2006, when we came together to help break the stalemate that had defined the health care debate for too long.”

Walmart, SEIU and CAP together endorsed ObamaCare’s employer mandate and “shared responsibility” provisions, which they called “important proposals that should be included in the current efforts to reform our nation’s health care system.” These unholy alliances were forged out of Walmart’s desperation and political expediency.

Providing cover for the White House on ObamaCare bought Walmart one day of goodwill theater. But SEIU and Soros operatives have promoted a no-holds-barred campaign against Walmart for decades.

The union funded an incendiary “WalmartWatch” website with at least $1 million in rank-and-file employee dues. Walmart foolishly contributed between $500,000 and

$999,999 to Podesta and his Sorosbacked Center for American Progress. But Soros’ MoveOn hit team is now instigating the Black Friday strikes online.

Similar corporate outreach to the Congressional Black Caucus brought rebukes from, you guessed it, SEIU leaders, which blasted Walmart for “undermining standards for all American workers.”

Never mind that Walmart employs 1.3 million people, 250,000 of whom have been there for more than 10 years and 165,000 of whom are hourly associates who were promoted last year.

Nor will the company ever have the sympathies of the president — despite first lady Michelle Obama’s comfy seat on the corporate board of directors of TreeHouse Foods Inc., Walmart happens to be the conglomerate’s biggest customer.

The TreeHouse Foods position netted Mrs. Obama $45,000 in 2005 and $51,200 in 2006 — as well as 7,500 TreeHouse stock options worth more than $72,000 for each year.

While Mrs. Obama welcomed WalMart’s decision to team up with her on her anti-”food deserts” campaign last year, Obama’s union cronies at the SEIU and AFL-CIO once again excoriated the nation’s largest employer.

“Walmart should not be celebrated for false contributions to our communities and glitzy public relations campaigns that disguise their destructive policies,” the union bosses railed.

President Obama has said nothing about the strike actions, but he made his allegiances clear in 2007, when he told union activists he “would not shop” at Walmart. Company heir Samuel Walton forked over $300,000 to the Priorities USA super PAC, run by former Obama flack Bill Burton.

How’s that working out?

For the sake of its survival, I hope the Black Friday lesson isn’t lost on the rest of Walmart’s management and heirs.

When you lie down with thugs, you get up with ... more black eyes.

LETTERS Education, not games, must be our school’s first & only priority To the editor, New challenge presented to students at LHS. Principal McCollum raised the bar for the next five years with introducing an evidence-based research project. It is an ambitious endeavor — many will follow. The article did well presenting the plan.

But then, the whole scheme fell apart when Principal McCollum mentioned how he was “most excited” about players who represented the community school at games and activities. To my way on thinking, the varsity cheer squad and soccer team do not in itself have any part in the introduction of an important academic event for the seniors at LHS. It exemplifies the same problem that has skewed the process of legitimate education values over minor events, e.g. school games!

Our culture — which in part, we’re all responsible for has placed a much higher value on school games than classroom achievement and overall scholastic excellence. Games have an irresistible and irresponsible grip on the school’s mentality and public’s perception of success. We have let school games absorb time and attention woefully wanting in elevating grade proficiencies, both in math and science. We want a good time! If students repeatedly fail — only 22 per-

cent passing grades on standardized test in math last year — in all due respect, we can say the school failed to teach, even if they won awards for a dozen sports. It would not matter one bit, the stigma is still there!

So what?, you say. What’s the harm?

This country is experiencing a crisis in education. Our very economy and way-of-life is threatened by emerging students who do not have the skills to fill the jobs available in today’s marketplace. Many students entering colleges struggle because they are under-educated, lacking even basic skills to handle the demands of most colleges. They need remedial classes to catch up. Do we have the motivation and drive to overcome these obstacles? Only time will tell?

Misplaced priorities can distract and train-wreck the devotion and hard work most local schools achieve in the classroom. School must extol the virtues of academic achievement over all else. It is imperative that this is done, quickly and professionally.

There is too much to lose. The school itself must be responsible to teach others that education is the school’s first and only priority!

What pleasure is there in taking something away from others?

To the editor, One has to wonder if atheists rail against the tooth fairy because they don’t believe it exists? Or how about mother nature?

Has anyone actually seen her? Bigfoot or his cousin Yeti? A conscience? Where do all those thoughts come from? That’s weird! It would seem that to be consistent, an atheist would have to also fight against those beliefs and unseen events.

Just recently the newspapers carried a story about how the atheists have been successful in their multiyear battle to eliminate the 60 year old tradition of a nativity scene display in Santa Monica, California. Do they actually take joy in doing that?

When an atheist couple has children, and solstice time approaches, do they bring those children to a display of . . . well, nothing? Do they tell them the story of how nothing came to save the world? Or, do they explain to

to take away what others may believe because only nothing is believable?

And what is the reward for doing so? Nothing!

Just what pleasure can there be in taking joy away from someone else? Is it one of those “Let’s do it for the children.” issues. Maybe the atheist’s ultimate goal is to take away Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the tooth fairy, and ice cream. Or, just maybe, the atheist is a joyless creature who simply wants everyone to share in his misery. Hey, it worked in Santa Monica . . . so let’s make others feel the joy of being joyless.

Perhaps the only solution is to deprive the atheists of their joylessness, to deprive them from their belief in nothing.

All together now . . . pray to the one they don’t believe exists, and ask to bring them something to believe in.

Merry Christmas.

LETTERS My heart aches daily for the countless victims of vaccine injury To the editor, This letter is in response to Edward C. Touhey’s sales pitch on October 6 titled, “So who should get vaccinated this flu season? Here’s the answer.” Mr. Touhey is a salesman and his business is dependent upon people getting the flu vaccine. Well, of course he is going to tell you that vaccines are safe and effective.

I’m here to tell you that nothing could be further from the truth.

Like many people out there, I never thought twice about vaccines until my youngest son and I were both injured in 2007. Thankfully, I recovered from my vaccine injury, but my poor son is still dealing with his five years later.

He sustained severe damage to his central nervous system that year.

Immediately following his vaccines, he endured swelling of the brain, seizures, loss of muscle tone, and so much more. If anyone had ever told me that vaccines could cause more than just a slight fever or inflammation at the injection site, I probably wouldn’t be writing this letter to you today. Like everyone, I was just given some generic leaflet drafted by the CDC that outlined a very small fraction of side effects — the less serious ones. I didn’t know that every vaccine has its own lengthy list of side effects and many are quite serious. They also can occur as much as six weeks after the shot is administered according to the vaccine manufacturers.

I was also shocked to find that for many vaccines, the dosage does not vary. A baby may be given the same dose as a fully grown adult. What other drug can you do this with?

God warns us in the Bible not to drink the blood of the sacrificed animals because if we do disease will ensue. This warning is found several times throughout the chapter of Leviticus. When you inject a vaccine, you are injecting foreign blood into your body. Vaccines can only be made using the blood of an aborted baby or the blood of an animal. My husband underwent back surgery three years ago. He was asked to sign a waiver in the event that he needed a blood transfusion. His signature would guarantee that he would not sue the hospital if he contracted Hep A, B, C, or AIDS from the blood given. Needless to say, he declined. This leads me to a very important point — if they cannot purify the blood for transfusions, what makes you think they can for vaccines?

Why are vaccines the only drugs out there that patients are not counseled on ALL of the possible side effects?

Why doesn’t the medical community inform patients that it is solely THEIR legal responsibility to report side effects? If a person gets a vaccine and ends up in the emergency room 2-6 weeks later, how many people/family members out there would make the connection that their illness or subsequent death was a direct result of the vaccine they received weeks earlier? How can they if they were not informed of what to watch for?

I encourage everyone to ask the doctor, nurse, or pharmacy to show you the package insert that comes inside the box with the vaccine vials.

Chances are they won’t show it to you, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. They

are about 17-21 pages long and contain a great deal of information. They can also be found on the internet by using Google. Type in “Vaccine Package Inserts” for more info.

Every time that a vaccine is given, a certain percentage of the sale goes into a fund called the “National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program”.

This fund was set up to help victims in the event they sustain lifelong injuries or die as a result of their injuries.

Were you informed of this? Were you informed that in the event of you/ your loved one’s death, the payout is $250k? Were you informed that to date, this fund has paid out over $3 billion to victims of vaccine injury?

Were you aware that the vast majority of cases presented in this national court system lose even though the patients’ injuries are consistent with the manufacturer’s side effects listed?

In recent years, I spoke to a mom who was just having her case heard — it had been eight years since she filed.

How many people are aware of the statute of limitations with regard to the time limit in which one must file?

It is three years. This means that if your infant sustained eye/ear nerve damage from his/her vaccines and you do not realize it until the school years (when learning disabilities are evident), your time would have already run out to file. I’ve personally spoken with countless families throughout this nation and abroad whose lives were devastated by these so-called “safe” vaccines. Justice is a foreign word to us all.

I also want to correct Mr. Touhey’s careless error regarding flu statistics.

He informed the public that 3,000– 49,000 people died each year from the flu during 1976–2007. He obtained these figures from the CDC’s website (http://www.cdc.gov/flu/keyfacts.htm).

However, if one were to dig a little further into the CDC’s website, they would find the following flu death statistics: 2006 - 806, 2005 - 1,812, 2004 - 1,100, 2003 - 1,792 (**mass marketing with infants began), 2002 - 727 (**mass marketing with elderly began), 2001 - 257.

So, it is a fact that 257 people died before the mass marketing of the flu shot began. The majority of those deaths that year were in the elderly.

It was after the mass marketing of the flu shot that the number of flu deaths increased dramatically. Upon researching further, you will find that this is true with every vaccine/disease.

Contrary to popular belief, vaccines are only mandatory for school entry in the states of Mississippi and West Virginia. All other states will accept your child for school enrollment if you present either a philosophical or religious waiver (depending upon which yours requires). School districts will not inform you of your rights because they too, receive monetary benefits from the sale of vaccines. Though the flu shot is only “recommended” at this time, I am quite certain that this is just one more shot that will be added to the schedule for school entry in the near future. After all, in 1940 children were given a mere four shots throughout their entire childhood. Then, in 1980 that number rose to nine shots.

As of 2012, children receive 49 shots by the age of six alone, with some children receiving as many as nine vaccines in one office visit. That’s scary when you consider that each vaccine manufacturer states that their product(s) have never been tested for safety or efficiency with the use of other vaccines.

I really do hope that more people

start researching the issue at hand and do not blindly consent to the dangerous practice of vaccinating themselves and/or loved ones. My heart aches daily for the countless victims and their families of vaccine injury out there. Trust me when I say, you do not want to walk in our shoes.

Examples of lawlessness on part of the Obama Administration To the editor, I have been accused of using invectives and exaggeration in describing the current administration, which now has four more years to dismantle our Constitution. How dare I call the EPA a rogue organization? It’s director, Lisa Jackson decided to enforce a mandate that oil refiners blend cellulosic ethanol into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. There is one little problem though. It does not yet exist commercially. That is apparently of little concern to Lisa. The EPA fined refiners $6.8 million for not following their edict. They appealed her decision. She thanked them for their concern, but said the decision will stand, pay up!

Yes, it was George Bush who signed the Energy Independence and Security Act in 2007, which set this mandate in motion. Somehow, I don’t think President Bush would be copacetic with this mugging and theft of the energy sector. American oil refiners have been forced to spend money to sue the federal government for being forced to comply with an impossible edict, rather than focusing on creating jobs.

How dare I call this administration lawless? Here are just a few of the power grabs that began as a trickle and have turned into an executive flood of circumvention, perhaps to become a full blown tidal wave by 2016: (1) Circumventing Congress’s refusal to pass the DREAM ACT by directing federal officers to no longer deport large groups of younger, illegal immigrants; (2) stripping away a “central component” of the 1996 bipartisan Welfare Reform Act — that being the “work requirement” — by

substituting “education programs” for those citizens to engage in while they enjoy their welfare benefits. This sends the wrong message and encourages growth of our “entitlement society”; (3) can’t pass Cap and Trade, just have the EPA enforce something similar through unilateral regulations; (4) when Congress was reluctant to take up Internet regulations through something called “net neutrality”, our president’s FCC took it on anyway; (5) the Affordable Care Act, which has been cited as being a “mammoth legislative concession to executive branch lawmaking” — 2700 pages of incomprehensible directives and mandates, giving the HHS secretary unbelievable power in implementing the policy, including the religious mandate. Platoons of IRS agents will be summoned to go after those who are fined for noncompliance.

There are many, many more examples of lawlessness, but this is enough for one letter. Suffice to say, these actions and others have already caused hundreds of employers to lay off employees, cut back on full-time workers and put growth and entrepreneurship on the back burner for who knows how long? How is it that so many people voted to keep Barack Obama on for four more years to complete his progressive transformation of a, soon to be, once proud Republic?

No doubt, some of those folks would be the same ones who refuse to believe our president detests the fact that our Constitution is a document of limiting powers. Just how much more evidence does anyone need?

Without Christmas, a lot of money could be spent on essentials To the editor, You know, I am getting a little tired of all these foreigners coming into America and telling us they do not like the nativity scenes and people wishing each other a “Merry Christmas”. When people tell you (the greeters in stores) that they cannot say it back to you because management is afraid it will upset some people. . . blah blah blah. . . that is when I make sure to tell them in passing, MERRY CHRISTMAS and to hell with whom it displeases.

This is America and if some of our customs are displeasing to the people that come here as sponges on our society then I will gladly contribute the

first $10 bucks to the kitty and send them back to the country they came from, where they did not have the right to voice their opinions. If Christmas is now not politically correct, then why is the nation’s tree lit by the first family, who also believe in the African spirit of Christmas?

If we were to abolish Christmas, just think of all the money people would have to spend on the essentials like food, housing and clothes. For the next 34 days, wouldn’t it be nice if those who oppose Christmas could just cease to open their mouths for a change?

LAUGHTON from page one in 2005 — she listed her occupation as pastry chef but said she was between jobs. During her time in Laconia, she lived primarily in public assistance housing and engaged in a number of small, homebased businesses, including selling vegetables.

In December of 2006, she lost an election for the at-large seat for the Laconia School Board to incumbent Marge Kerns.

In 2009, she again ran for the Ward 3 seat on City Council, again against Henry Lipman.

In September of 2010, Laughton, running as a Democrat and listed on the ballot as Barry “Stacie” Laughton, lost a Democratic Primary race for one of the five Laconia seats in the N.H. House.

Just 21 at the time, Laughton gained 108 votes (18 percent) in her first run for Laocnia City Council. When she ran for the same office again in 2009 her vote total dropped to just 39 votes (10 percent).

She was one of three candidates in the 2006 School Board race, garnering 49 votes (2 percent). And she was the one candidate eliminated in the 2010 Dem-

ocratic Primary race for the Laconia House seats, attracting 167 votes.

But while Laughton was waging her bid for elective office, she was also attracting attention from the justice system.

On July 5, 2006, Laughton and her now ex-wife Lisa went to Weirs Beach to view the annual fireworks display. Police reports obtained from the Laconia Police said the Laughtons called city police via 9-1-1 at 2:13 a.m., at 3:16 a.m. and at 3:45 a.m. because they were stranded.

They were told city police were not in a posi-

Stacie Marie Laughton, then known as Barry, was just 21 years old when she ran for Laconia City Council in 2005.

tion to give them a ride back to Laconia proper — about five miles — where the two lived.

On the last call to 9-1-1, Laughton stated she was suicidal and that Lisa Laughton had fallen. They requested two ambulances and two were sent, along with a city police officer.

Both were transported to Lakes Region General Hospital where Laughton told the attending physician initially that he had called the ambulance because he couldn’t sleep and suffered from depression.

In the next breath, reports indicate Laughton said, “Honestly Doc, I was at the Weirs fireworks and didn’t have a ride home.”

The doctor declined to treat Laughton further and the police said they were unable to drive them home. They called a taxi who took them the short distance from LRGH to their home, told the driver they needed to go inside to get the $4 fare, and never returned to the waiting driver — who called the police.

Records indicate that two police officers went to their Church Street apartment and pounded on the door until Laughton answered. Laughton said he wouldn’t pay the $4 fare because the taxi service has assured them that it would run until 2 a.m. but didn’t.

Police said she became “increasingly agitated,” finally telling the two officers that Laconia District Court Judge David O. Huot (also elected to serve in the new Legislature the 2012 election as a Laconia Democrat) would “laugh the charges out of court” and there was nothing the city police could do about it.

Laughton was charged with one felony count of creating a public alarm (for calling emergency services) and for theft of services — the taxi cab ride from the hospital. The county attorney did not prosecute the felony however, Huot accepted Laughton’s guilty plea for theft of services.

Also in 2006, Laughton was convicted of misdemeanor criminal mischief for slashing the tires of another resident in her apartment building with whom he had a long-running disagreement. She was ordered to pay $647 in restitution.

In 2007, Stacie Marie — who was still Barry C. — and Lisa Laughton ran afoul of Laconia Police again.

This time in May, Laconia Police learned from a woman at the Church Street apartment building where the couple had lived before moving to 103 Blueberry Lane, also a Laconia Housing Authority property, that a Citi-Bank credit card had been opened in her name but she didn’t open it.

After an investigation, police detectives determined the Laughtons had opened the credit card account in the woman’s name and had purchased electronics and paid bills with it.

Documents obtained from Belknap County Superior Court indicate Laughton was indicted on one felony count of conspiracy to commit fraudulent use of a credit card, one count of conspiracy to commit identity fraud, and one count of falsifying physical evidence for disposing of two of the computers, two cell phones and a printer after learning of the police investigation.

On July 29, 2008, she pleaded guilty — under the name of Barry Charles Jr. — to the three charges.

Laughton was sentenced to 7 1/2 to 15 years for conspiracy to commit credit card fraud — all suspended pending 10 years of good behavior, and 3 1/2 to 7 years for the falsifying physical evidence — again suspended to 10 years good behavior. The two suspended sentences were concurrent.

She was sentenced to serve 12 months with four months suspended in the Belknap County House of Corrections for conspiracy to commit fraudulent use of a credit card. According to Department of Corrections media spokesman Jeff Lyons, Laughton served four and one-half months in jail and was released on November 21, 2008.

Ordered to remain on probation for two years, Laughton’s probation ended on November 22, 2010.

She was ordered to pay $1,991 in restitution, joint and severed with Lisa Laughton. To date, $1,706 remains unpaid, said Lyons.

During the course of legal proceedings, Laughton’s attorney asked for a competency evaluation to see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 24, 2012— Page 9

DOWNTOWN from page one municipalities to delineate TIF districts, then apply a portion of the future tax revenues that accrue from the increase in assessed value generated by new construction, expansion or renovation of property in the district to either provide funds or service borrowings for public improvements within it.

The statute requires the establishment of an Advisory Committee, which recommends how the funds should be expended, while the City Council must authorize the expenditures.

This summer the Advisory Committee convened a public meeting, at which priority was assigned to landscaping the foot of Main Street in conjunction with the rebuilding of the bridge, building a pocket park at the junction Pleasant Street and Main Street and constructing public restrooms downtown.

In challenging the recommendations, the council, which has taken little interest in planning the redevelopment of downtown, joined the planning process.

City Manager Scott Myers conceded that redevelopment efforts would benefit from greater coordination. He said that the city has taken several initiatives downtown, including improvements to the parking garage and the formation of committees to address parking issues as well as “wayfinding” or “navigation,” which involves improved signage.

But, Myers acknowledged that coordination was a challenge without a community development director, one of the key components of the Master Plan.

Apart from the Master Plan, downtown has been the subject of a number of initiatives and studies.

Of these, the most comprehensive was completed in

from preceding page determine Laughton’s mental fitness for trail.

On July 8, 2008, Judge Kenneth McHugh ordered that she was competent to stand trial and was able to assist in her own defense.

McHugh’s order recapped some of the testimony of the July 7 hearing of N.H. Chief Forensics Examiner Dr. James Adams.

In his order, McHugh noted that this was the second time Adams had done a competency hearing for Laughton who was given a “primary diagnosis of ADHD with some associated learning disabilities as well as Anti-Social Personality Disorder. But he said the diagnoses would not interfere with Laughton’s ability to understand the court proceedings.

On the contrary, Adams said that Laughton did “markedly poorer” on the 2007 test than in the 2003 test although some of the questions were the same.

“The defendant did so poorly that Dr. Adams was compelled to conclude that he intentionally misanswered the questions,” wrote McHugh. “Even such a basic question as ‘What is a felony?’ was described by the defendant recently as a way to get off a criminal charge.”

McHugh wrote that Adams’ report stated that even if someone had guessed at all of the answers he or she would have done better than Laughton, leading both the doctor and McHugh to conclude she was

a malingerer — defined by Webster’s Dictionary as someone who feigns illness to avoid duty or service.

“Thus in Dr. Adams’ mind, it was the goal of the defendant to fail all tests because the defendant had determined that to the extent that there were going to be any consequences with respect to his pending criminal charges, he would be better of if those consequences were resolved in a mental health setting rather than in a criminal trial or where confinement in jail or prison was a possibility,” McHugh wrote.

On December 16, 2010 and after what a clerk with the N.H. Circuit Court System determined were “several unsuccessful attempts,” Laughton officially changed her name to “Stacie Marie Laughton.”

At some point shortly thereafter, the Laughtons moved to Nashua. They have since divorced but remain close.

According to the Nashua City clerk, both Stacie Marie and Lisa Laughton won write-in campaigns in 2011 to serve as Ward 4 selectmen — a election monitoring position in N.H. cities. He said Lisa garnered 10 votes while Stacie Marie got eight.

With her election to the state Legislature, Laughton has told the Nashua Telegraph that her main priorities with be advocating for the homeless, those in low-income housing, and those with mental and physical disabilities. She also said she would like to strengthen the school system.

2007 by a team of consultants — Strategic Economics in Berkeley, California, Van Meter Williams Pollack Architecture in San Francisco, California, and TND Engineering in Portsmouth, New Hampshire — with funding from of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The report was intended to assist the city in pursuing the objectives of its Master Plan by suggesting what might be done to encourage investment and development in its three so-called “neighborhood centers” — downtown, Lakeport and Weirs Beach.

For at least a decade, the the flow of traffic has overshadowed most discussions of downtown. In 2002, what was then the Laconia Main Street Program formed a Transportation, Circulation and Parking Committee, which explored ways of changing the traffic pattern to integrate the redevelopment of the empty Allen-Rogers factory into the downtown.

Five years later, the EPA team found that “Downtown stakeholders agreed that improving traffic flow was their priority issue. They wanted to transform the downtown circulation from major, one-way thoroughfares into a network of two-way streets.” Their report recommended radically altering the traffic pattern while improving streetscapes by adding plantings, crosswalks, furniture and sidewalks.

Yet, earlier this year when TEC, Inc. of Lawrence, Massachusetts, which was commissioned by the Planning Department to study the feasibility of altering traffic flows, suggested opening Beacon Street East and Beacon Street West to two-way traffic, its recommendations were rejected out-of-hand by business owners and city councilors alike.

“Many of the same people who recommended changes to the EPA then turned around dismissed them,” Lahey said.

To a large extent the remaining recommendations of the EPA team depend on altering the traffic pattern, which may explain why they have received scant attention. The report proposed maximizing public access to the riverfront, by extending the downtown riverwalk but also by creating opportunities for residential and commercial development.

Likewise, the team suggested taking steps to minisee next page

A Jeep Liberty driven by Peter Mason ended up in the woods of the Laconia bypass in Gilford on Thursday night. (Gilford Police photo)

Man survives Thanksgiving night rollover accident on Laconia bypass GILFORD — A Laconia man was taken to the hospital Thursday night after rolling his Jeep Liberty on the Laconia bypass at 5:17 p.m.

Field Training Officer Douglas Wall said yesterday that Peter Mason, 72, apparently lost control of his vehicle as he was headed down a hill toward the Lake Shore Road end of the bypass.

Wall said the Jeep rolled several times and landed down an embankment, coming to rest near some small trees. He said the vehicle was seri-

ously damaged but fortunately neither Mason nor his small dog were ejected.

He said Mason was extricated from the car by Gilford Fire Rescue. He was treated for ahead wound and released from Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia.

The dog was uninjured and was taken to the Gilford Police station where it was reunited with a family member.

POWERBALL from page 2 where he spent part of his childhood.

“I would go down there again and probably do a little bit of farming,” he said, recalling the roaming deer and 380 acres of potatoes, corn, watermelons and sugar cane. Gadlin hasn’t been there for more than 20 years.

And if he isn’t successful this time, it’s likely he’ll have another shot at a record-breaking pot of cash.

Since Powerball tickets doubled in price to $2 in January, the number of tickets sold has decreased, but the sales revenue has made up for it, increasing by about 35 percent, said Norm Lingle, chairman of the Powerball board of directors.

And as the price went up, so did the jackpots, enticing thousands across the country to play.

“Christmas is coming and $325 million would come in handy,” said Tim Abel, 63, who was buying a Powerball ticket at New York’s Port Authority Bus Terminal. The Broadway stagehand said he usually plays whenever

the jackpot goes over $100 million.

Recent Powerball winners include an Iowa couple that won a whopping $202 million on Sept. 26. A week later, a Delaware resident picked all six numbers for a $50 million payday.

Cashiers at a DeliMart convenience store in Iowa City said they expect a last-minute rush Saturday. The store sells $200 to $300 worth of Powerball tickets on an average day, but assistant manager Scott Falkenhan said he anticipates that will more than double.

Falkenhan, 32, was planning to buy his own ticket after his shift ended.

“I’d buy a new truck and a new boat,” he said. “Then I’d go on my own fishing tour.”

Roxie Breece, an assistant manager at a Cenex convenience store in Ogallala, Neb., said clerks have sold far more Powerball tickets than usual over the past week.

“Tomorrow’s going to be a nightmare for us,” she said. “With everybody out shopping and the drawing on Saturday, we’ll be really busy.”

Lingle, who is also the executive director of the South Dakota Lottery, says this weekend will be “telling.”

“To my knowledge we’ve never had a large jackpot run like this fall over a major holiday,” he said.

Frank Scorvino of Toms River, N.J., is in charge of buying lottery tickets — including Powerball — for a group of about a dozen fellow construction workers. If they win, he said, most of them would purchase new houses and see next page

Lahey distributed copies of the EPA report to the other councilors in anticipation of Monday’s meeting.

The council, which has not appointed a liaison to the Planning Board since the retirement of Bob Luther in 2009, appears poised to play a greater role in the planning process.

Another Laconia restaurant targeted by burglar or burglars LACONIA — City Police are investigating an overnight theft from a Union Avenue restaurant that was reported to them at 5:09 a.m. yesterday morning.

Police said someone forced their way into Our Place Restaurant at 981 Union Avenue and stole an undisclosed amount of money.

Recent police logs shows at least four burglaries of local restaurants in the past few weeks, including Dunkin’ Donuts on Union Avenue, the Laconia Eatery at Veteran’s Square, and

King’s Chinese Restaurant also on Union Avenue.

Police said yesterday they do not know if the four burglaries are related but said in each case small amounts of cash was taken.

GAZA from page 2 dier then dropped to one knee, assuming a firing position. Eventually, a burst of automatic fire was heard, but it was not clear whether any of the casualties were from this incident.

Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra said a 20-year-old man was killed and 19 people were wounded by Israeli fire near the border.

Mansour, the Palestinian U.N. observer, said Israeli forces fatally shot Anwar Abdulhadi Qudaih in the head and injured at least 19 other Palestinian civilians in a border area east of Khan Younis.

During the incidents, Hamas security tried to defuse the situation and keep the crowds away from the fence.

Moussa Abu Marzouk, a top Hamas official at the ongoing negotiations in Cairo, told The Associated Press that the violence would have no effect on the ceasefire.

The crowds were mainly made up of young men but also included farmers hoping to once again farm lands in the buffer zone. Speaking by phone from the buffer zone, 19-year-old Ali Abu Taimah said he and his father were checking three acres of family land that have been fallow for several years.

“When we go to our land, we are telling the occupation (Israel) that we are not afraid at all,” he said.

Israel’s military said roughly 300 Palestinians approached the security fence at different points, tried to damage it and cross into Israel. Soldiers fired warning shots in the air, but after the Palestinians refused to move back, troops fired at their legs, the military said. A Palestinian infiltrated into Israel during the unrest, but was returned to Gaza, it said.

The truce allowed both Hamas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step back from the

brink of a full-fledged war. Over eight days, Israel’s aircraft carried out some 1,500 strikes on Hamas-linked targets, while Gaza fighters fired roughly the same number of rockets at Israel.

The fighting killed 166 Palestinians, including scores of civilians, and six Israelis. Mansour, the Palestinian U.N. envoy, said more than 1,230 Palestinians were injured, predominantly women and children.

In Cairo, Egypt is hosting separate talks with Israeli and Hamas envoys on the next phase of the cease-fire — a new border deal for blockaded Gaza. Hamas demands an end to border restrictions, while Israel insists Hamas halt weapons smuggling to Gaza.

Mansour also accused Israel of intensifying its use of “excessive and lethal force” against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in recent days and of arresting at least 230 Palestinian civilians since the Gaza fighting began, including several members of the Palestinian Legislative Council who were detained at dawn Friday.

The Palestinian U.N. observer called on the Security Council and the international community “to remain vigilant in their demands for a complete cessation of hostilities and for compliance by Israel.”

A poll Friday showed about half of Israelis thinks their government should have continued its Gaza offensive.

The independent Maagar Mohot poll showed 49 percent of respondents felt Israel should have kept pursuing squads that fire rockets into Israel, 31 percent supported the decision to stop and 20 percent had no opinion.

Twenty-nine percent thought Israel should have sent ground troops into Gaza. The poll of 503 respondents had an error margin of 4.5 percentage points.

South Bend, Ind., resident Dameon Smith says he’d retire from his job at the Hummer plant in Mishawaka, Ind. He said he’d share with family, friends and people he doesn’t know.

Chad Robinson, 41, a chef at a Cleveland restaurant, had an option during his break Friday: Put down $2 on Powerball game or go next door to Ohio’s first casino. He bet on the lottery, saying that much cash would change his life “drastically.”

“I figure I’ll make a lot of people happy with it, not just myself, spread

the love and live my life out — parents, loved ones, kids, co-workers, charities,” he said.

Terry Fowler, 50, of Conneaut, Ohio, was visiting family in Tennessee for the holiday and stopped in a gas station in Brentwood on Friday morning to buy Powerball tickets. He’s a regular player.

“I want to see more than one person hit it so they can share the wealth,” said Fowler, a sales representative with a food service company. “I don’t think any one person needs $325 million. If 7-10 people hit that, they will live like kings.”

N.H. to chop down red pines in Allenstown to try to slow insect attack CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire forestry officials plan to remove about 120 acres of red pine trees from a state park this winter to slow the spread of an aggressive insect that’s destroyed thousands of the trees in southern New England.

The nearly microscopic brown insect is called red pine scale and was detected at Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown in August. It’s the first documented case of the insect in New Hampshire, though the bug’s been a longtime headache in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, which have been losing the trees for years. Parts of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania also have battled red pine scale.

“We’re just going to try to cut it all out and hope that it doesn’t spread,” said Kyle Lombard, forest health program coordinator for New Hampshire’s Division of Forests and Lands. “There is no red pine left in Connecticut, and they’re cutting as fast as they can in states like Rhode Island and New Jersey.

They’re just getting it out of there. It’s all dying.”

In the past, he said, Connecticut tried to introduce insect predators that would feed on the red scale and experimented with pesticides, but nothing really worked.

Ken Gooch, forest health program director for Massachusetts, said on average, his state loses 300 to 500 acres of red pines a year. Most of the loss has been in western Massachusetts, around the Quabbin Reservoir. He said some red pines also have died because of a common tree disease.

“The only thing that we tried maybe 15 years ago

include bright “flagging,” or discoloration of the lower branches, followed by the swift decline of the entire crown. A tree can be destroyed within a few years.

Visitors to Bear Brook State Park will eventually notice the missing trees, many of which are at the park’s entrance, said Will Guinn, regional forester for New Hampshire’s Forest Management Bureau.

But the landscape won’t be completely barren; there are nearby stands of white pines at the park that are waist-high to 10 feet tall. “That will be the next generation of forest coming along,” he said.

The goal is to get the affected trees removed while they are still alive in time for a commercial timber harvest, Guinn said. “If we wait until the trees are dead, we’re going to have to pay to have thousands of trees removed,” he said.

Guinn said red pine scale has not been detected in any other New Hampshire parks.

Lombard said the insect doesn’t have the ability to withstand very cold winters, which is why he thinks the red pines in northern New Hampshire won’t be affected.

was trying to cut it out as soon as we found it, but that didn’t stop it,” Gooch said. “It’s just like hemlocks’ wooly adelgid,” a tiny beetle that has attacked hemlock trees in the region. “The birds spread it,” Gooch said. “You can’t stop that.”

While there are some native red pine stands in central and northern New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont, the tree is not considered native to the region; it is native to the upper Great Lakes through southern Canada west to Manitoba, and on mountainous ridges as far east as West Virginia. Many of the trees in New England and elsewhere were planted in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the workforce program under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to restore forests. The trees grew fast and withstood cold weather.

No one’s quite sure where the insect originated.

Forestry officials say it was first reported in Connecticut in 1946. They think it was most likely introduced to the United States on exotic pines planted at the New York World’s Fair in 1939.

Red pine scale is easily spread by wind, birds and squirrels. The first visible signs of infestation

Leaves from Laconia lawns end up in composting operation at Petal Pushers Farm

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Those fallen autumn leaves which residents of Laconia raked up from their lawns and then bagged for pickup and were hauled off by Bestway Disposal are now sitting in a giant pile at Petal Pushers Farm on Parade Road.

They are being turned into compost after being shredded and then mixed with other organic material at the farm as the result of a unique and mutually beneficial arrangement between the city and the farm’s owners, Pat and Pattty Gianunzio. ‘’It’s worked out well for us,’’ says Paul Moynihan, director of the Laconia Public Works Department, who says that the program of bringing all of the collected leaves to the farm is now in the second year of a five-year agreement and that it is good to see the leaves being put to a useful purpose.

Pat Gianunzio says that even the biodegradable leaf bags in which the leaves are packed are used in creating the compost, the bulk of which is used right at the farm.

He says that the leaves are reduced by at least two-thirds in volume during the composting process and that he’s glad to have them for his large composting operation. ‘’We used to buy our compost when we first started here but there’s plenty of land to do our own.’’ says Gianunzio, pointing to the rows of compost material in the long field which once served as an airfield when the farm was owned by the late Layman Rice.

Moynihan said that the the leaves collected by the city during the two weeks in the fall and two weeks in the spring when bagged leaves are picked up all around the city by the city’s disposal contractor Bestway. At other times leaves which are brought to the city transfer station are stored until a sufficient amount is available to fill a dump truck and that they are then hauled by city workers to Petal Pushers.

He said that an upgrade to the transfer station which started in 2007-08 resulted in the loss of space for the dumping of leaves there. ‘’We used to dump leaves in the furthest region of the 40 to 50 acre parcel but we made changes there with a total revamp of the transfer station and a new transfer station building which took away that

space,’’ says Moynihan.

He said that the revamp, 55 percent of which was paid for by Waste Management, which contracts with the city for the right to use the transfer station for its own operations, was largely initiated by Waste Management itself and cost $2.6 million. The city paid 30 percent of the cost, $780,000, and Gilford, whose residents and businesses can also utilize the transfer station, paid 15 percent, or $390,000. ‘’The site used to be borderline acceptable to the state. It was open face and all gravel and there were nearby wetlands. The changes made it a much better location and there’s a long-term agreement with Waste Management for use of the site,’’ says Moynihan.

He said that Gianunzio got wind of the impending loss of the use of the back parcel of the transfer station site and approached the city about bringing the leaves to his property to be composted.

WALMART from page 2 In Lakewood, Colo., shoppers hesitated as they passed dozens of protesters outside a Wal-Mart but entered without incident. Some protesters held signs playing off of the retailing giant’s corporate slogan, “Live better,” accusing the company of corporate greed and underpaying its workers.

“This is the way you get a fair shake.

You’ve got to fight for it. You’ve always had to,” said protester Charlie May, of the Industrial Workers of the World labor organization.

A union-backed group called OUR Walmart has said that it is holding an estimated 1,000 protests in 46 states. The exact number is unclear.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has refuted that estimate, saying the figure is grossly exaggerated and that the protests involved few of its own employees.

A number of demonstrations and walk-outs occurred last week at stores but were scheduled to culminate on one of the year’s busiest shopping days.

The size and impact of the protests varied greatly by site. OUR Walmart, made up of current and former WalMart employees, was formed in 2010 to press the company for better working conditions. Wal-Mart has criticized the group for relying largely on

other unions and non-employees to make up the ranks protesting outside its stores.

The retailer also filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board last week against the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union.

The company said that the demonstrations organized by OUR Walmart threatened to disrupt its business and intimidate customers and associates.

Wal-Mart estimated that fewer than 50 associates participated in Thursday and Friday’s protests nationwide.

Company spokesman Dan Fogleman said that the number of associates who missed their shifts during the two days of events is 60 percent lower than last year.

“It was proven last night - and again today - that the OUR Walmart group doesn’t speak for the 1.3 million Walmart associates,” the company said in a statement.

The union group estimated that “hundreds” of employees participated nationwide.

Victoria Martinez, 29, marched in front of the store in Paramount on Black Friday. The Wal-Mart photo department employee worked her shift on Thanksgiving but skipped

vehicle also were burned.

Tens of thousands of activists massed in Tahrir itself, denouncing Morsi. In a throwback to last year’s 18-day anti-Mubarak uprising, they chanted the iconic slogan first heard in Tunisia in late 2010: “The people want to overthrow the regime.” They also yelled “erhal, erhal,” — Arabic for “leave, leave.”

Outside a mosque in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, anti-Morsi crowds threw stones and firecrackers on Brotherhood backers who used prayer rugs to protect themselves, injuring at least 15. The protesters then stormed a nearby Brotherhood office.

State TV reported that offices of the Brotherhood’s political arm were burned in the Suez Canal cities of Suez, Ismailia and Port Said, east of Cairo.

“I don’t like, want or need to resort to exceptional measures, but I will if I see that my people, nation and the revolution of Egypt are in danger,” Morsi told thousands of his chanting supporters outside the presidential palace in Cairo.

But even before he spoke, thousands from each camp demonstrated in major cities, and violence broke out in several places, leaving at least 100 wounded, according to security officials.

Security forces pumped volleys of tear gas at thousands of pro-democracy protesters clashing with riot police on streets several blocks from Cairo’s Tahrir Square, birthplace of the Arab Spring, and in front of the nearby parliament building. Young protesters set fire to tree branches to counter the gas, and a residential building and a police

intense scrutiny over its wage and benefit policies and treatment of its workers. Fogleman says that the company provides some of the best jobs in the retail industry and that its wages and benefits typically meet or exceed those of competitors. The retailer maintains that it has many long-term employees and that its turnover rate is below the industry average.

The company, based in Bentonville, Ark., operates 10,400 stores in 27 countries.

Pierce & Celtics beat powerful Thunder, 108-100 BOSTON (AP) — Paul Pierce scored 22 of his 27 points in the second half and the Boston Celtics snapped a two-game losing streak by beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-100 on Friday night.

Kevin Garnett had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Celtics, who led by 14 in the second half and held on after the Thunder cut it to three points with under 2 minutes remaining. Rajon Rondo had 16 assists and eight rebounds for Boston.

Kevin Durant scored 29 for Oklahoma City, which lost for just the second time in its last 10 games.

Russell Westbrook had 26 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, and Serge Ibaka added 17 points and 13 rebounds.

Boston led 84-70 on Pierce’s 3-pointer with just under 10 minutes left, but the Thunder cut it to six, 93-87, thanks in part to a 3-pointer from Durant and a dunk from Ibaka. It was 101-89 when Westbrook made a pair of free throws and Durant hit a 3-pointer, then they each added a pair of free throws to cut the deficit to three points.

But Durant missed a 3-pointer that could have

tied it, and then Garnett’s free throws gave Boston back a cushion. Jason Terry hit a 3-pointer with 37 seconds left to clinch it.

Kendrick Perkins had five points and nine rebounds in his second game in Boston since he was traded to Oklahoma City by the team he helped win the 2008 NBA championship. Jeff Green, the only remaining player on the Celtics from that deal, scored 17 points off the bench.

The Celtics trailed by seven points after one quarter but took a 48-45 lead into the half. They quickly expanded it to eight thanks to three straight baskets from Pierce, including a 3-pointer that made it 55-47 just 1:18 into the third quarter.

It got as high as nine points before the Thunder came within two, 66-64 with Garnett and Pierce on the bench. But Garnett came back into the game and Boston scored the next 11 points before Kevin Martin made a free throw with 2 seconds left in the third to make it 77-65.

Pierce hit a 3 to make it 84-70 with 9:52 to play, Boston’s biggest lead of the game.

from preceding page conservative Islamists and former jihadists outnumbered liberal and leftists in rival demonstrations.

The two sides exchanged insults and scuffled briefly.

Morsi and the Brotherhood contend that supporters of the old regime are holding up progress toward democracy. They have focused on the judiciary, which many Egyptians see as too much under the sway of Mubarak-era judges and prosecutors and which has shaken up the political process several times with its rulings, including by dissolving the lower house of parliament, which the Brotherhood led.

His edicts effectively shut down the judiciary’s

ability to do so again. At the same time, the courts were the only civilian branch of government with a degree of independence: Morsi already holds not only executive power but also legislative authority, since there is no parliament.

His move came at a time when he was enjoying lavish praise from U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for brokering a cease-fire between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers on Wednesday. Clinton had been in Cairo for extensive talks with Morsi before the truce was announced.

CREEP from page 4 that they planned to shop at stores that opened on Thanksgiving, according to an International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs survey of 1,000 consumers.

Meanwhile, 33 percent intended to shop on Black Friday, down 1 percentage point from last year. Overall, it is estimated that sales on Black Friday will be up 3.8 percent to $11.4 billion this year, according to technology company ShopperTrak, which did not forecast sales from Thanksgiving Day. The Black Friday creep began in earnest a few years ago when stores realized that sales alone weren’t enough to lure shoppers anymore, especially with Americans becoming more comfortable buying things online. Opening on Thanksgiving was risky, with some employees and shoppers complaining it was almost sacrilegious.

But many stores evidently felt they needed an edge, especially this season, when many Americans are worried about high unemployment and wondering whether Congress will be able to head off tax increases and spending cuts before the U.S. reaches the “fiscal cliff” in January.

Overall, the National Retail Federation estimates that sales in November and December will rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion, below last year’s 5.6 percent.

“Every retailer wants to beat everyone else,” said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America’s Research Group, a firm based in Charleston, S.C. “Shoppers love it.”

At Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, most of its 4,000 U.S. namesake stores are already open 24 hours year-round. But the chain added special sales at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, two hours earlier than a year ago.

The company said that its start to the holiday season was “the best ever,” with nearly 10 million transactions and 5,000 items sold per second from 8 p.m. to midnight on Thanksgiving.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

October waterfront sales report There were 10 Winnipesaukee waterfront homes that changed hands in October at an average sales price of $1.444 million with a median price point of $872,500. That brings our total for the year to 103 transactions at an average sales price of $1.056 million compared to 87 transactions at $1.057 million or the first ten months of 2011. That’s a 19 percent increase in the number of sales which I would say is pretty good considering the state of the economy.

The least expensive property sold on the lake was at 1795 Mount Major Highway in Alton. This property consists of a 1935 vintage, 1,848-squarefoot, four bedroom classic lake cottage along with two additional camps all of which are seasonal. The structures sit on a 1.25 acre lot of land with 34-feet of frontage and a dock that is actually across Route 11 which made the sale of this property a long process. It was first listed back in April of 2006 at $799,000 which was perhaps a bit aggressive even in the good old days. It was re-listed again in 2007 at $588,000, in 2011 at $399,000, and again in 2012 for $330,000. A subsequent price reduction down to $295,000 finally attracted a buyer at $285,000 — a far cry from $799,000. The current tax assessment is $213,400.

This just goes to show that all waterfront is not created equal.

The home at 7 Hallin Court in Alton represents the median price home of the month with a sales price of $800,000. This is a 3,172-square-foot contemporary colonial built in 2000. It has four bedrooms, three baths, a spacious open floor plan, hardwood floors, formal dining room, four season tiled sun-porch, and a detached three car garage.

The home has extensive mahogany decking and three balconies to enjoy the views from. It sits on a professional landscaped third acre lot with 110-feet of frontage and a 50-foot dock. This home was listed at $910,000 and took 564 days to find a new owner. It is currently assessed for $757,200.

I think what sold this house was that you could walk to the Sandy Point restaurant from there.

The largest sale of the month was Mitt Rom-

ney’s house in Wolfeboro which he sold to pay off campaign bills. No, I’m kidding. Mitt’s still with us (I think) and his house is not for sale. But the largest sale was in Wolfeboro at 308 and 309 Sewall Road.

Anyway, this property consist of a three bedroom home built in 2006 on a .26 acre lot with 57-feet of frontage plus a four bedroom guest home built in 2000 on a .51 acre lot across the street. The lakeside home is bright and open and was built using the finest quality materials. Attention was paid to every detail. The home has three fireplaces, hardwood flooring, beautiful trim work, coffered ceilings, extensive built-ins, electronic shades, sound system throughout, and even an elevator. Outside the home has extensive stonework, a level lot with a great sandy beach, and beautiful westerly views of the Belknap Mountains. This home was initially offered at $4.75 million, reduced to $4.3 million, and sold for $3.6 million after 750 days on the market. It is currently assessed at $3.3 million.

Over on Winnisquam there were three sales bringing the total number of transactions so far this year to 15 compared to 19 for the same period last year. At 106 Lower Bay Road in Sanbornton a 70’s vintage, four bedroom, 2,720-square-foot ranch located across the street from the water but with 260-feet of frontage on the lake finally sold for $395,000. It was originally offered at $695,000 back in April of 2010 and this year at $449,000.

After a price reduction to $395,000 it finally found a buyer at full price after 896 days on the market.

Just down the street at 29 Lower Bay Road a three bedroom, two and a half bath, 1,556-squarefoot cottage and garage on a .42 acre lot with 100feet of frontage had a similar journey in time.

This home was originally listed in August 2008 at $589,000, in 2009 at $520,000, and in 2010 at $499,000. It was listed this year at $465,000 and quickly found a buyer at $429,000. It is currently assessed at $545,500 so I think the buyer got a good deal.

Rebecca Rule signing new book at Festival of Trees Gala event held next Thursday night MEREDITH — Bayswater Book Co. is proud to sponsor noted N.H. author and story teller, Rebecca Rule, as she introduces her newest book, “The Iciest, Diciest, Scariest Sled Ride Ever,” at the Altrusa’s Festival of Trees Gala event on Thursday, November 29.

The book tells a story about what do seven kids do on a cold winter day when rain and sleet have created a thick crust of ice on top of the snow. It s so slick and icy that sledding seems almost impossible.

Lizzie and her friends convince her grandfather to let them try to push his old-fashioned Travis sled, a long, bench-like sled on runners, uphill so they can fly downhill, down the highest, mightiest, iciest sledding hill off Old Mountain Road.

New Hampshire storyteller Rebecca Rule brings her trademark wry sense of New England humor to this delightful tale of a wild sled ride. Connecticut artist Jennifer Thermes’ watercolors illustrate the story.

Rule’s other books include: Moved and Seconded: NH Town Meeting, the Present, the Past, and the Future; The Best Revenge (named one of five essential New Hampshire books by New Hampshire Magazine); Could Have Been Worse: True Stories,

Embellishments, and Outright Lies; Live Free and Eat Pie: A Storytellers Guide to NH; and Headin’ for the Rhubarb: A New Hampshire Dictionary (well, kinda).

She writes regularly for UNH Magazine and hosts an interview show, the NH Authors Series, on NHPTV. She sometimes performs a touring program called Crosscut, with photographs and stories on logging, the mills, and the community of Berlin.

She recently received an honorary doctorate from New England College for storytelling and contributions to New Hampshire literature.

Rule will be on hand during the Festival of Trees Gala Evening Event on Novembe 29 from 5:30-8 p.m. at Waukewan Country Club in Meredith to sign copies of her new book.

Bayswater Book Co. is pleased to be donating 20% of the sale of all books sold during the Festival of Trees’ four day event to Altrusa’s Literacy Fund.

Signed books will be available at the Festival of Trees over the entire weekend and at Bayswater Book Co. in Center Harbor.

Those who an’t make the event can call Bayswater and reserve an autographed copy, 603-253-8858

OBITUARIES

Nancy L. Marsh Depuy, 79 MOULTONBOROUGH — Nancy Louise (Holmes) Marsh Depuy, 79, a long-time resident of Moultonborough died peacefully on November 17, 2012 at Forestview Manor in Meredith. Born on May 14, 1933 in Providence, Rhode Island to Marion L. (Smith) and Oliver W. Holmes, the family moved to Needham, MA where Nancy graduated from Needham High School. She attended Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and then moved to New York to work as a flight attendant for Northeast Airlines in the early 1950s earning the title of Miss Aviation and becoming an ambassador for the airlines. As Miss Aviation she graced magazine covers, enjoyed a couple of dates with a young Senator Jack Kennedy, appeared in a small part in a Hollywood movie and crisscrossed the country to promote the airline industry to the public. During this time she met New York restaurateur, Charles J. Marsh. After leaving the airlines, they married, raising four children in Massachusetts and New Hampshire where the couple owned the John Hancock Inn in Hancock, NH. Widowed in 1974 at age 40, and living back in Needham, MA with her four children, Nancy married a former high school boyfriend, William N. Depuy. Nancy had a lifelong love of the Lakes Region where her parents had a home since she was a young girl. She had a close relationship with her dear lake Waukewan friends till the end of her life. Nancy and Bill moved to Moultonborough, NH in 1982 where they made many friends and were involved in many town and church organizations.

While living in her beloved Moultonborough, Nancy began attending the Moultonborough United Methodist Church in 1985 becoming a member in 1989. She was an active member of the church serving as usher for many years, chair of the music/ worship committee for several years, served on the nominating committee and worked the church fairs. With a background in floral design, Nancy was founder and chair of the Moultonborough UMC flower committee/altar guild from 1993 to 2007.

In 1992, she became a certified lay speaker (lay preacher) and was called to serve on rotation at the South Tamworth UMC, Tilton-Northfield UMC, Gilford UMC, Ashland UMC, Weirs Beach UMC and the Bristol Federated Church among others. She was a longtime member of the United Methodist Women.

Nancy became a life member of the Friends of the Moultonborough Library in 1991 and was elected to the library board of trustees serving two terms from 1993-1999. She was also an active member of the Moultonborough Women’s club for over 25 years contributing much to the organization including serving as secretary, treasurer, vice president and president and member of the board of directors. She started the MWC participation in Strides Against Breast Cancer annual march and organized MWC fundraising efforts raising considerable money for the charity. She chaired the scholarship committee from 2003-2007

and was parliamentarian from 20062011. In recognition for all she did for the organization, her many dear friends at the MWC made Nancy their first honorary life member in 2012. In 1982, Nancy became a life member of the Moultonborough Historical Society becoming chair of the Moultonborough Central school Essay Committee from 1990-2007 working closely with teachers and personally presenting the awards and savings bonds to the winners every year at “class night”.

She was active in and promoted the Service Learning program for the Moultonborough public schools. Nancy and her dear friend, the late Jean Vappi, were the school marms in the one room school house during Moultonborough Old Home Days for many years. She was also very active in many other fundraising efforts for the Moultonborough Historical Society.

Nancy was a NH Justice of the Peace for over 20 years spanning the terms of three N.H. governors.

She performed countless wedding ceremonies from the mansions of Newport R.I. to mountain tops and everywhere in between including many at her home, always personalizing each ceremony and filling it with love. Nancy had a great love of animals and the outdoors. Her hobbies included fishing, gardening and backpacking in her younger years, even backpacking the White mountains during her honeymoon to her second husband, Bill.

She loved entertaining and was happiest when she was surrounded by her family and many, many friends and her home was always open to all.

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Loved ones come to you first with both good news and bad. It’s because you give what’s needed: a truthful reply, supportive words, advice that’s immediately actionable. Someone provides the same for you today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There’s a bit of feistiness in your delivery, but that’s only because you sense that it’s necessary. Others won’t readily give what they should unless you demand respect and show that you’re willing to fight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Continue to act on your outlandish ideas. You’re on to something. Tonight: Notice the one who is smiling but hurting. If anyone can reach out with just the right words, it’s you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

What you touch turns to money this afternoon. Because you will find it difficult to be temperate with your energy, concentrate on the endeavors that really matter to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Friends are not whimsically brought together, though that’s the way it might seem. You and yours are making choices based on similar inner drives.

You have much in common and will be excellent support for one another.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 24).

You’ll receive more than you give in the next six weeks; it’s simply your turn.

You’ll change behaviors and habits in December. The humungous effort you put into a January project won’t feel like work. That’s how you know it’s love.

March sends you to unfamiliar places.

Save the extra money you get in June.

Gemini and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 3, 34, 39 and 1.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s a bonus if someone can make you smile and laugh, but as a rule, you are selfentertaining. This independent quality will come in handy during the early evening lull.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You expect yourself to be able to do certain things, and yet your talents are anything but commonplace. Others will delight in your ability to apply one skill in many ways.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some never learned the social filters that most people employ in polite society.

Others seem incapable of learning these boundaries no matter how you try to teach them. Tolerance is a virtue.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Objectivity is difficult to attain in a mirror.

When you look at yourself, you see the flaws. Then you examine others, and you notice the positives. Just know that other people are experiencing your beauty even when you’re not.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You go about your business in a pragmatic way, and yet it takes very little to distract you. Creativity requires that you be open to caprice, and one of your whims will lead to a jackpot.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You naturally gravitate to what makes you feel more alive. This seems like a no-brainer now, but there have been times when you simply weren’t as in touch with what you needed, so your awareness is something to celebrate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Many want to pin you down, but it’s hard to tell what you’ll be doing two weeks from now, so avoid making definite plans.

Leave room for ambiguity, improvisation and magical happenstance.

Yesterday’s Answer

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 24, 2012

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Nov. 24, the 329th day of 2012. There are 37 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 24, 1987, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed on terms to scrap shorterand medium-range missiles. (The IntermediateRange Nuclear Forces Treaty was signed by President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev the following month.)

On this date: In 1784, Zachary Taylor, the 12th president of the United States, was born in Orange County, Va. In 1859, British naturalist Charles Darwin published “On the Origin of Species,” which explained his theory of evolution by means of natural selection.

In 1922, Irish nationalist and author Robert Erskine Childers was executed in Dublin by Free State forces.

In 1941, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Edwards v. California, unanimously struck down a California law prohibiting people from bringing impoverished non-residents into the state.

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, a hijacker calling himself “Dan Cooper” (but who became popularly known as “D.B. Cooper”) parachuted from a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 over the Pacific Northwest after receiving $200,000 dollars in ransom — his fate remains unknown.

In 1982, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Kenyan government economist and father of the president, was killed in an automobile accident in Nairobi; he was 46.

In 1992, a China Southern Airlines Boeing 737 crashed in southern China, killing all 141 people on board.

One year ago: After a meeting in Strasbourg, France, German Chancellor Angela Merkel deflected calls for the European Central Bank to play a bigger role in solving Europe’s debt crisis but won the backing of French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Italy’s new premier, Mario Monti, to unite the troubled 17-nation eurozone more closely.

Today’s Birthdays: Basketball Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson is 74. Country singer Johnny Carver is 72. Rock drummer Pete Best is 71.

Actor-comedian Billy Connolly is 70. Former Motion Picture Association of America Chairman Dan Glickman is 68. Singer Lee Michaels is 67. Actor Dwight Schultz is 65. Actor Stanley Livingston is 62. Rock musician Clem Burke is 58. Record producer Terry Lewis is 56. Actress Denise Crosby is 55. Actress Shae D’Lyn is 50.

Actor Garret Dillahunt is 48. Actor-comedian Scott Krinsky is 44. Rock musician Chad Taylor is 42.

Actress Lola Glaudini is 41. Actress Danielle Nicolet is 39. Olympic bronze medal figure skater Chen Lu is 36. Actor Colin Hanks is 35. Actress Katherine Heigl is 34. Actress Sarah Hyland is 22.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My wife’s aunt “Zelda” is 83 and lives alone.

She is in the early stages of dementia, and her short-term memory is rapidly deteriorating. She will ask the same question multiple times within a 15-minute span. She also is extremely paranoid. She is convinced people are entering her house at night and stealing small items, such as watches.

She also owns a gun. I refuse to go into her home at night for fear she’ll shoot me. We had an alarm system installed in her house, but it was too confusing for Zelda to use, and we had to remove it a few weeks later. She told the local police that people are entering her yard, so they installed cameras that gave them some fine photos of dogs, cats and raccoons.

Having Zelda live with us is not an option, and she is dead set against moving to an assisted living facility. What are our options? -- Deeply Concerned Dear Concerned: If you prefer to keep Zelda in her home, you will need to hire a patient, trustworthy caregiver. You also can accompany Zelda to an assisted living facility where she could speak to someone who would explain the positive aspects of having nearby medical care and social activities.

Most importantly, she should not have a weapon in her home if she cannot use it responsibly. Please contact the Eldercare Locator at eldercare.gov (1-800-677-1116) to find out what resources are available in your area.

Dear Annie: Seventeen years ago, I married into a wonderful family. Due to our jobs, we have never lived near any of my husband’s family. But we try to get together every year and stay in contact via family emails.

Something has perplexed me for the past few years. One of my husband’s sisters remembers my son’s birthday with a card and check, but neglects to send anything to my two daughters. No one else on either side of the family does this, nor would they consider it acceptable. Cards are either sent to

all the children or to none. This apparent display of favoritism greatly bothers me.

The girls are young and haven’t noticed yet. But I expect they will be hurt when they realize what is happening. Is there a tactful way I could address my sister-in-law’s strange behavior without destroying our relationship? -- At a Loss Dear At a Loss: Please don’t assume some nefarious motive. It’s quite possible that your sister-in-law only remembers your son’s birthday and has no idea when the other children celebrate theirs. You could offer to make family calendars with everyone’s special dates on them. Or, when you schedule a birthday party, send invitations to the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, post pictures on Facebook or let the family join in the festivities via Skype or FaceTime. And of course, you could ask your husband to speak to his sister and ask why she forgets his daughters’ birthdays every year.

Dear Annie: “Need Another Opinion” touched on a silent crisis: aging parents caring for middle-aged developmentally disabled children. Often, care is not sought until the elderly parent becomes infirm or dies, leading to preventable emergencies and far more stressful situations.

“Need” and his wife can arrange for individualized, appropriate care for her siblings who need living situations that provide for their independence and health. Eligibility for services can be determined by contacting the state’s department of human services. Her siblings will likely qualify for Medicaid programs, which may include housing, health care and other support. Please suggest they contact VOR (vor.net) at 877-399-4VOR for information. -- Julie Huso, Executive Director, VOR Dear Julie Huso: Thank you for the resource.

OBITUARY

Bernard Fred Avery, 65 NEW HAMPTON — Bernard Fred Avery, 65, of West Shore Road, died November 22, 2012, at his home after a battle with cancer.

Born in Plymouth, NH on September 18, 1947, he was the son of Bernard F. and Christine (Lagill) Avery. He grew up in Ashland and graduated from Ashland High School. Fred attended the UNH Thompson School and Gunstock Junior College. He has been a resident of the Ashland and New Hampton area for most all his life.

Fred worked as a sawyer in several area sawmills and in 1977 he became a self employed logger, working up until his illness forced him to stop.

Fred was a member of the Grace Baptist Church, in Plymouth, member and past master of the Red Mountain Masonic Lodge #68, F&AM, the Bektash Shriners Temple, the Bektash Cycle Patrol, the ROJ’s, and a long time member of the National Rifle Association. Fred also had served the town of New Hampton as a selectman.

He was an avid outdoorsman and love to hunt and fish, with his sons.

Fred was predeceased by his sister Rosalie

Koltookian.

Fred is survived by his wife of fortyfour years, Leslie K. (Homer) Avery, sons, Jason Avery and his wife Tara of Hill, Eric Avery and his wife Natazché of New Hampton, grandchildren, Ryan, Madison, Sam, Joshua, Jeffrey, granddaughter Piper, sisters, Gloria Cheever of Exeter, Marie Reed and her husband Leland of Florida, Linda Hoyt of Plymouth, Kathy Bottemly and her husband Art of Tacoma, WA, several nieces and nephews.

Tom Hanks, Will Ferrell offer voicemail recordings

NEW YORK (AP) — Imagine having William Shatner supply your outgoing voicemail message.

Or maybe you’d prefer Morgan Freeman coolly telling callers to wait for the beep. Or perhaps having Betty White joke around is more your speed.

All it takes is $299 and some luck.

The advocacy group Autism Speaks is offering custom-recorded messages from those celebrities as well as Will Ferrell, Carrie Fisher, Tom Hanks, Derek Jeter, Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart and Ed Asner.

From Dec. 3 to Dec. 9, a limited number of 20-second long MP3 messages will be recorded by each celebrity on a first-come, first-served basis for fans to do with as they wish. All requests must be of the PG variety.

Asner, the curmudgeonly Emmy Award winner of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “Lou Grant,” dreamed up the unusual fundraiser with his son Matt, who works for Autism Speaks.

“I think people will get a charge out of it,” says Asner, who is currently on Broadway in the play “Grace.” ‘’I’ll probably say, ‘What are you wearing?’

Or, ‘Take it off.’ Something like that.”

All proceeds will support autism research and advocacy efforts. An estimated 1 in 88 children in the U.S. is on the autism spectrum, a developmental disorder characterized by communication difficulties, social and behavioral challenges, as well as repetitive behaviors.

If he could get a message from one of the other stars participating, which would Asner want?

“I’m awfully stuck on Will Ferrell, having been subjected to him in ‘Elf,’” Asner says. “But they’re all such standouts — Patrick Stewart, Leonard Nimoy, Shatner. The list doesn’t stop. Even Betty White,” he adds about his “MTM” co-star. “She’s still got some good left in her.”
