Stacie Laughton decides to decline Nashua House seat

By Jake Berry & Maryalice Gill THE NASHUA TELEGRAPH

CONCORD – State Rep.-elect Stacie Laughton, a Nashua Democrat who did not disclose her criminal history while running for office this fall, plans to give up her seat in the state Legislature.

“After a lot of thought and after talking with the state party chair and my Democratic caucus director, I’ve decided to resign

my position of state representative-elect,” Laughton said Tuesday.

“As far as the stuff that’s been going on up until now, and with that in mind, I’ve decided to resign for now, and leave my options open for future political office,” she added. “There’s been a lot of negative news that’s been published about me as far as what I’ve done in my past.”

The Laconia Daily Sun and The Tele-

graph first reported last week that Laughton served four months in jail in 2008 on charges of conspiracy to commit credit card fraud. But, Laughton, known until December 2010 as Barry Charles Jr., failed to acknowledge her criminal history to voters, drawing criticism and calls for her resignation from Republican lawmakers and political leaders. see LaUGHTOn page 7

MEREDITH — The Inter-Lakes School Board, hopeful of holding more meaningful community discussions about education, has decided that it will rotate the second of its monthly meetings between sites in the three towns in the district, Meredith, Center Harbor and Sandwich.

Those meetings will be work sessions and are designed to open up discussions with the public without what the board sees as the stifling affects of structured meetings at which only school board members and administrators can talk and the public is limited to speaking only in public comment periods.

Superintendent of Schools Mary Ellen Ormond said the meetings will involve ‘’more give and take’’ and will be held at the Community Center in Meredith, the new Center Harbor Town see I-L page 10

$500 million Powerball jackpot results from changes to boost sales

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The historic Powerball jackpot boosted to $500 million on Tuesday was all part of a plan lottery officials put in place early this year to build jackpots faster, drive sales and generate more money for states that run the game.

Their plan appears to be working.

Powerball tickets doubled in price in January to $2, and while the number of tickets sold initially dropped, sales revenue has increased by about 35 percent over 2011.

Sales for Powerball reached a record $3.96 billion in fiscal 2012 and are expected to reach $5 billion this year, said Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Des Moines, Iowa-based Multi-State Lottery Association, the group that runs the Powerball game.

There has been no Powerball winner since Oct. 6, and the jackpot already has reached a record level for the game. It was first see $500M page 4

Rice admits her initial Benghazi explanation was wrong WASHINGTON (AP) — U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice told lawmakers Tuesday that her initial explanation of the deadly Sept. 11 raid in Libya was wrong, but her concession failed to mollify three Republican senators who signaled they would try to block her possible nomination to be secretary of state.

In a closed-door meeting that Rice requested, the ambassador answered questions from Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte about her muchmaligned explanations about the cause of the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in

Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

She was joined by acting CIA Director Michael Morell.

“The talking points provided by the intelligence community, and the initial assessment upon which they were based, were incorrect in a key respect: There was no protest or demonstration in Benghazi,” Rice said in a statement after the meeting.

“While we certainly wish that we had had perfect information just days after the terrorist attack, as is often the case the intelligence assessment has evolved.”

Rice’s unusual visit to Capitol Hill — typically only nominees meet privately with lawmakers — reflects the Obama administration’s campaign for the current front-runner to replace Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton against some strenuous GOP opposition.

“We are significantly troubled by many of the answers that we got and some that we didn’t get concerning evidence that was leading up to the attack on the consulate,” McCain told reporters after emerging from the hourplus session that he described as candid. see RICE page 27

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Eight years after Yasser Arafat’s mysterious death, his political heirs opened his grave Tuesday and let forensics experts take samples from his remains, defying strong cultural taboos in search of evidence that the icon of Palestinian nationalism was poisoned.

Palestinians have claimed for years that Israel poisoned Arafat, who died in a French hospital. Israel has denied the charges.

The exhumation marked the end of months of procedural wrangling but only the beginning of the testing. Palestinian officials said it would take at least three months to get results, and even then, they might not be conclusive.

Workers opened Arafat’s tomb before daybreak Tuesday, laying bare the remains some four meters (13 feet) below ground level, the Palestinian health minister said. A Palestinian forensics examiner

took some 20 samples and handed them to Swiss, French and Russian experts, officials said.

Huge sheets of blue tarpaulin draped over Arafat’s mausoleum hid the scene from view, part of an attempt by Palestinian officials to minimize any potential backlash against digging up the grave of Arafat, still widely revered in the Palestinian territories. see ARAFAT page 9

Health & Human Services asking for $321M more in New Hampshire budget CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s biggest agency asked Tuesday for $321 million more from state tax sources in the two-year state budget Gov.elect Maggie Hassan must present to lawmakers in February.

Health and Human Services Commissioner Nicholas Toumpas testified at a hearing on the request that one of the biggest increases is due to a change in how the state pays nursing homes for Medicaid care. He said the state now must pay nursing homes based on rates, not on what lawmakers budget to spend.

Toumpas is requesting a 25 percent increase in the portion of the agency’s budget that’s supported by state tax sources. It would increase the funding to $1.6 billion from the current two-year appropriation of $1.3 billion.

The agency’s current total budget is $3.7 billion, most of which from federal funds.

“The department — like all state agencies — is in the middle of a storm,” Toumpas said.

He said people continue to seek help from the state as a result of the recession, but the numbers have leveled off in all but those needing food stamps.

About 25 percent of those who apply for the federal food help are rejected, but the state must provide the staff to make the determination regardless whether they are denied, he said.

Overall, the number of caseloads has risen 15 percent since July 2009. At the same time, the number of filled jobs at his agency dropped 15 percent, he said. In addition, key members of the staff will be eligible for retirement soon, he said. That has caused stress on the staff, he said.

Toumpas said he knows the state has limited funds to provide services to everyone who is in need and promised to continue to try to find savings.

He said he included money cut from the current budget to boost payments to hospitals caring for the poorest residents. Ten hospitals sued over the budget cut in a case still pending in federal court.

Toumpas said a managed care program for Medicaid that was supposed to save $15 million in the current budget still is not operating due to slow negotiations between contractors and the health care providers needed to build a network.

On Monday, Hassan opened the budget hearings with a caution that agency requests are unrealistic.

Agencies requested $3.3 billion in spending from state tax sources — a 26 percent increase over the current budget — and $11.9 billion from all funding sources or a 19 percent increase.

N.H. GOP chairman won’t seek full term

CONCORD (AP) — The chairman of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee is not seeking a full term.

Wayne MacDonald has been party chairman since September of last year, when former chairman Jack Kimball resigned moments before GOP leaders were expected to remove him. A former tea party leader, Kimball had come under intense scrutiny for lackluster fundraising and special election losses.

MacDonald, who has held a number of leadership positions with the party, had previously been the state party’s vice chairman since 2003. In a statement Tuesday, he called the job both a challenge and a privilege.

The party suffered significant losses in this month’s election, when Democrats won both congressional seats, the governor’s office and a majority in the state House.

New party officers will be elected Jan. 26.

Florida man is 3rd to level sex charges against ex-Elmo

NEW YORK (AP) — A Florida man on Tuesday sued a former Elmo puppeteer who resigned amid sex abuse allegations, saying the voice actor met him in New York a dozen years ago after trolling gay telephone chat lines seeking underage boys for sex.

The lawsuit, seeking unspecified damages, was filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan by a man who remains anonymous, making him the third person to make claims against Kevin Clash, who resigned from “Sesame Street” last week after 28 years.

Clash had quickly denied the first claim, which was recanted the next day. But Clash then resigned after a 24-year-old college student, Cecil Singleton,

sued him for $5 million, saying the actor engaged in sexual behavior with him when he was 15.

According to the latest lawsuit, a 29-year-old man said he met Clash on a chat line when he was 16 and was exploring modeling opportunities in New York.

It said the youth, then in high school, specifically stated on the chat line that his intentions were nonsexual. Still, the lawsuit said, Clash pursued, posing as a 30-year-old man whose name was Craig even though he was a decade older.

After speaking by phone for several days, Clash invited the youth to visit his Manhattan apartment, see ELMO page 5

City wants to lower speed limit on road that leads to Governors Island bridge

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

2012 Laconia Adopt-A-Spot winners Winners of the annual Adopt-A-Spot Awards were honored by the City Council this week with cobblestones, originally laid on Water Street in 1904, bearing the city crest. Next to Ann Saltmarsh of the Department of Public Works, standing left to right, are some of the honorees: Richard Smith, Elaine Morrison, Shirley Prescott and Paul Doherty (kneeling) of the River Crew, recognized with a profile of excellence award; Pat and Jane Wood, for their sidewalk barrel; Ginger Wells-Kay of Garden Artisans, for tending Rotary Riverside Park; and Dale Squires with (kneeling) Katie Mountain and Jonathan Marchant of Belknap Landscaping, for their work at Stewart Park; and Kevin Dunleavy, director of parks and recreation.(Laconia Daily Sun photo/Karen Bobotas)

8-year-old raises $125 for Forest Society’s effort to conserve 270 acres along Cockermouth River GROTON — The Forest Society’s effort to conserve 270 acres along the Cockermouth River in Hebron got a boost from an unexpected — and young — benefactor recently. Molly Lu McKellar, 8, of Groton, held a dragon birthday party at a skating rink as a fundraiser and donated $125 to the project.

“I dream about dragons using this land,” she wrote in a letter sent with her donation.

Friends and family members donated at her request, after she heard about the Forest Society’s fundraising campaign to conserve the Hazelton Farm and Forest.

The picturesque farm is a well-known local landmark that features extensive frontage along the Cockermouth River and Wise Brook, as well as forest land on Tenney and Crosby mountains.

“This was one of the most gratifying letters I’ve ever opened,” said Martha Twombly, capital campaign specialist for the Forest Society. “To see the imagination of a child inspired by the natural world surrounding her bring forth a tangible action to conserve a beautiful forest near her home — isn’t this the most profound connection we hope to instill in all our future generations?”

Over 300 individuals have contributed to the Hazelton conservation project along with significant grants from N.H. Fish and Game and the John Gem-

mill Newfound Fund. The campaign is in the home stretch with several grants still pending. Purchase of a conservation easement on the property will protect it from development while keeping the land open for recreation and agricultural use.

Located at the north end of pristine Newfound Lake, the farm’s 35 acres of hayfield overlay a stratified aquifer that drains to the lake, so conserving the property will protect water quality. The property’s forest lands, wetlands, fields and brooks offer some of the highest quality wildlife habitat in the region.

The property, owned by the Hazelton family, will remain open to the public for hiking to Bald Knob, Crosby Mountain and Tenney Mountain. Ski and snowmobile trails pass through the land as well. A registered Tree Farm, the forest land is being sustainably managed for wood products and wildlife habitat under the guidance of a professional forester.

Founded in 1901, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests is the state’s oldest and largest non-profit land conservation organization.

Supported by 10,000 families and businesses, the Forest Society’s mission is to perpetuate the state’s forests by promoting land conservation and sustainable forestry. For more information, visit www.forestsociety.org.

$500M from page one posted at $425 million but revised upward to $500 million when brisk sales increased the payout. It’s the second highest jackpot in lottery history, behind only the $656 million Mega Millions prize in March.

It took nine weeks for the Mega Millions jackpot to get that high, before three winners — from Kansas, Illinois and Maryland — hit the right numbers, each collecting $218.6 million for their share of the split.

With soaring jackpots come soaring sales, and for the states playing the game, that means higher revenue.

“The purpose for the lottery is to generate revenue for the respective states and their beneficiary programs,” said Norm Lingle, chairman of the Powerball Game Group. “High jackpots certainly help the lottery achieve those goals.”

Of the $2 cost of a Powerball ticket, $1 goes to the prizes and the other dollar is kept by the state lottery organization, said Lingle, who also is executive director of the South Dakota Lottery. After administrative overhead is paid, the remaining amount goes to that state’s beneficiary programs.

Some states designate specific expenditures such as education, while others deposit the money in their general fund to help supplement tax revenue.

The federal government keeps 25 percent of the jackpot for federal taxes.

Most states withhold between 5 percent and 7 percent. A New York City winner would pay more than 12 percent since the state takes 8.97 percent and the city keeps 3.6 percent.

LACONIA — At the urging of resident Richard Homsi and on the recommendation of Police Chief Chris Adams, the City Council unanimously called for lowering the speed limit on Summit Avenue from 35 to 25 miles per hour.

A little more than 2,000 feet in length, Summit Avenue runs from Endicott Street East (Rte. 11-B) at The Weirs in Laconia to Edgewater Drive on Governors Island in Gilford and includes the bridge linking the island to the mainland. Homsi, whose home is the last in the city before the bridge, told the councilors that the speed of traffic on the street is “out of control.”

Adams said that electronic monitoring of traffic indicated that while the average speed on the street ranged between 28 and 30 miles per hour, more than 70 vehicles were clocked at more than 45 miles per hour with one recorded at 62 miles per hour. The chief said that before the meeting he tried to drive the street at the 35 mile per hour limit, but backed off the throttle when he felt unsafe at 28 miles per hour.

Homsi recalled a fatal accident in 2006 when a car leaving the island at high speed went airborne first on cresting the bridge and again on hitting a stump before coming to rest atop a young woman. Adams confirmed that “bridge jumping has been going on forever” and Homsi echoed “it goes on every day of the week — motorcycles, cars, trucks, you name it.”

Homsi said that no one was injured but both vehicles were totaled when a pickup truck and minivan collided head-on earlier this month. “I don’t want another fatality.”

Homsi said that after installing speed bumps and speed dips, the Town of Gilford posted a speed limit of 25 miles per hour on all the roads on Governors Island and asked the council do the same on Summit Avenue.

After the councilors endorsed a motion by Councilor Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) to reduce the speed limit City Manager Scott Myers said he would determine if the city has the authority to change the speed limit without the approval of the state.

ELMO from page 3 the lawsuit said.

At the apartment, Clash gave the teenager alcohol, and they engaged in sexual contact, including oral sex, the lawsuit said. While in the apartment, the youth spotted numerous Elmo dolls and photographs of Elmo with famous people such as Beyonce and Tyra Banks but didn’t learn Clash’s history until he moved to New York after high school at age 18 and engaged in a sexual relationship with him, the lawsuit said.

The youth was a compliant victim and did not become aware he had suffered adverse psychological and emotional effects from the sexual acts until this year, the lawsuit said.

Clash’s lawyer, Michael Berger, said in a statement that the federal cases filed against Clash are without merit.

“The cases and Mr. Clash’s reputation will be defended vigorously,” he said.

LPD phasing out classic Crown Vics for smaller, all-wheel-drive Interceptors

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — For more than a decade, the Ford Crown Victoria was the vehicle of choice for Laconia police. With a V8 engine and rear-wheel drive, though, it bore more resemblance to sedans of the past than the products of a modern automaker. As such, the crown has been passed to a new police cruiser, the Ford Police Interceptor, which the city began using earlier this month and which will eventually proliferate throughout the department’s fleet.

The police department has recently replaced two of its front-line, patrol vehicles with Police Interceptors. Based on the Ford Taurus, the new cruisers feature a V6 engine that is approximately as powerful as the old V8, while achieving moderately better fuel economy. The Interceptor’s real trump card over the Crown Vic, though, is better handling, especially with approaching winter weather.

“It handles amazingly because it’s all-wheel drive,” said Officer Adam Batstone, one of the patrol officers assigned to the new cruisers.

The new Interceptors — both 2013 models — come with their shortcomings, too. The biggest complaint is that they’re smaller — both in overall footprint and in interior space. The space difference is most noticeable in the back seat, though any occupants in the back of a cruiser will likely have more to worry about than knee room.

Should police need to accommodate any persons too large for the back seat, said Lieutenant Al Lessard, the department can use its transport van.

Another detraction for the Interceptor is poor rearward visibility in comparison to the Crown Vics.

Being more modern vehicles, the Interceptors offer a few amenities that were absent on the Crown Victorias. Officers can activate their lights and sirens from controls mounted on the steering wheel, whereas the same task in a Crown Victoria requires the officer to take his or her hand off the wheel.

Another welcome improvement in the Interceptor is a shelf, molded into the top of the dashboard, to fit a radar unit. With this placement, the officer can from preceding page jackpots grow faster and higher in part because the states that play both games agreed in 2010 to sell to one another.

Both games are now played in 42 states, Washington, D.C., and the Virgin Islands. The larger pool of players means jackpots roll over to higher numbers

check a motorist’s speed with less distraction; in the Crown Victoria, the radar unit must be placed below the dash, requiring the officer to look down to view the displayed speed.

The police department has 22 total cruisers in its fleet, with nine assigned to front-line patrol duties.

According to Lessard, the department will seek to replace the Crown Victorias with Interceptors at the rate of two or three per year.

The Police Interceptors were sold to the city by

Irwin Automotive Group, a Laconia dealer that won the competitive state bid. The Sign Shop in Tilton adorned with cruisers in Laconia Police Department livery, while Ossipee Mountain Electronics installed police-specific equipment.

With flurries in the forecast, officers Batstone and John Howe are looking forward seeing how their new patrol vehicles will handle. As Howe said, “It’s all-wheel drive. That’s the biggest plus, the ability to drive in the snow.”

faster, which tends to increase the buzz about the jackpots which increases sales. It all can result in higher jackpots sooner.

“It really happened with both of these games became national games,” said Terry Rich, CEO of the Iowa Lottery.

Still, just seven of the top 25 jackpots occurred

after January 2010 when the cross-selling began.

That just points to the unpredictability of games of chance like lotteries. It still comes down to the luck of the numbers, Rich said.

It has been proven that once the jackpot reaches a certain threshold more players buy.

Means test Social Security and you have welfare Conservatives never much liked Social Security. It’s a wildly popular government program that’s totally solvent until 2033. It will be easily fixable and by then may not need fixing at all. Doesn’t quite fit with the government-can’t-do-anythingright talking point.

Then there’s the Social Security Trust Fund, a nice hunk of change invested in Treasury securities that some conservatives don’t want to pay back. The trust fund represents payroll taxes collected from workers and employers — taxes raised a quarter century ago to provide a cushion against the predicted stresses of an aging population. The money in the trust fund was loaned, not given, to the federal government.

Many conservatives argue that the trust fund doesn’t exist, thanks to cheesy accounting of the money.

Whoops, it’s been spent, they say.

Tough luck.

The counterargument goes that the trust fund is real enough that the Treasury may not default on its debt to it without a vote by Congress. Name one rep of either party who would vote for stiffing the trust fund. Counterargument wins.

So Social Security’s foes need Plan B. They already tried Plan A during the George W. Bush years. Recall efforts to privatize the program — that is, let workers put their Social Security payroll tax money into private investment plans. Recall how the boosters tried to sell stocks as a no-lose investment.

The beauty of Plan A was that Wall Street would get its cut, and eventually, the federal government would no longer be obligated to cut Social Security checks. But the public was so protective of traditional Social Security that Plan A crashed even before the stock market did.

Plan B starts with means-testing.

It is a clever approach because it expropriates liberal rhetoric about the rich helping the poor.

Means-testing would reduce the benefits of the well-to-do while keeping (or raising) them for others.

This is an excellent way to destroy the loyalty to the program among

our more powerful citizens. The deal could include making permanent the Social Security payroll tax holiday scheduled to expire on Jan. 1 — in the interests of progressive taxation, of course.

Another counter-idea: The payroll tax holiday was always a bad concept from a true liberal perspective.

(President Obama backed it as a stimulus measure.) It’s bad because Social Security is an earned benefit.

You can’t easily take away something people know they’ve paid for.

So here’s the work-around: It makes no sense, writes conservative Ross Douthat, “to finance our retirement system with a tax that ... imposes particular burdens on small business and the working class.”

How liberal sounding. How sneaky.

Start paying for Social Security out of general revenues and reduce benefits for the wealthy, and what do you have? You have welfare. You know what happens to welfare.

Douthat breaks from liberal sweet-talk and gets down to basics.

He urges Republicans to regard the payroll tax as “an obstacle — originally created by their political enemies! — to any restraint in what the program spends.”

Actually, the law forbids Social Security to take a single penny from general revenues. I can’t think of a better spending restraint than that.

But the payroll tax is definitely a political restraint on plans to steal the trust fund.

By the way, we already have a system for means-testing. It’s called the progressive income tax. If conservatives think rich people should pay more, they can simply let marginal tax rates (and the capital gains tax rate) rise. Complicating Social Security with more meanstesting and ending the tax dedicated to keeping it afloat would kill the program — with a smile.

LETTERS Rasing taxes makes us less competitive & costs people their jobs To the editor, As our Governor-elect Maggie Hassan begins assembling the biennial 2013-2015 budgets, will she keep it balanced without increasing taxes and fees or using accounting gimmicks; or will we once again see a host of increased taxes and fees to accommodate the department budget requests of up to a 26-percent increase (19 percent if you include all funds)?

For the sake of our state and citizenry, I hope not. I hope that she, along with the newly elected legislators, is paying attention to the current state of the New Hampshire budget.

As of October (16 months into our two-year budget), revenue figures show that the state brought in $8.9 million above projections. This puts our revenue projections to within 2/10 of 1 percent. The gains, albeit modest, were led by business taxes which were ahead by $4.2 million and tobacco and real estate transfer taxes which were

each ahead of projections by $1.9 million. This shows that when the Republicans put this budget together it was as close to “on target” as possible. Further, the fact that tobacco taxes came in nearly $2 million ahead of projections, despite the fact that other “sin taxes” were below projections, demonstrates that our decision to repeal the last of the four tobacco tax increases was the right one. Cutting taxes creates economic growth and jobs. Raising taxes makes us less competitive and leaves our residents out of work.

The direction of our Democratic majority leadership during the next two years remains to be seen. Will it be an agenda of increased taxes, creating decreased growth and jobs; or reduced taxes coupled with responsible, moderated spending, making us more competitive in the job market?

Obama once let truth take a back seat to expediency, now he’s caught To the editor, Pres. Obama and Nancy Pelosi, together, have painted themselves into an odd corner. As soon as the 2008 election winner was declared, Pres. Obama and Nancy Pelosi said that investigating how Pres. Bush and V. P. Cheney lied and perpetuated lies about WMD (weapons of mass destruction) being in Iraq was off the table. People like myself wanted the record available, wanted historians able to access that truth at a later date. We lost that chance to know the particulars of how a situation was invented in order to wage war.

Now senators like John McCain are pressing hard for the exact and precise details regarding Susan Rice’s public stance on what happened in Beng-

hazi. As U.N. Ambassador and potentially as Secretary of State, she’s being tested for honesty. Ironically, Pres.

Obama can’t say, “Hey, guys, we let it pass with Bush and Cheney; please do the same here,” because that implies that Rice did lie (just like Bush and Cheney). Having once let truth take a back seat to expediency, he’d like that easy solution again, but why should the Republicans cooperate? They get a win-win situation, because at the start Pres. Obama had no loyalty to truth, law-trained though he is. The Republicans never had to witness Bush-Cheney’s being investigated, that unraveling, and now they also get to work up a lather over Susan Rice.

157 ‘plungers’ raised over $21,000 for work of the Salvation Army To the editor, The 8th Annual Salvation Army Turkey Plunge is now in the record books and quite a few new records were set this year thanks to the generosity and community spirit of the citizens of the Lakes Region. We had an all-time high of 157 folks who “took

from preceding page Before Laughton’s announcement, Wayne MacDonald, chairman of the state Republican committee, demanded her resignation, saying Laughton’s district deserves someone “who will be fully up front and honest with them.”

Laughton, the first transgender lawmaker elected in New Hampshire, can’t formally resign her post, as she has not yet been sworn in. But with questions surrounding the state’s reporting requirements, she plans to draft a letter this week to the secretary of state, declining to accept the seat, Laughton said.

State law prohibits convicted felons from running for or holding office until their final discharge from prison. But, legal professionals and political leaders across the state aren’t clear on the definition of “final discharge.”

Initially, Laughton was sentenced in 2008 to 7½ to 15 years for conspiracy to commit credit card fraud – all suspended pending 10 years of good behavior, and 3½ to seven 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 Department of Corrections for conspiracy to commit fraudulent use of a credit card.

Republican leaders contend that Laughton’s sentencing agreement required a probation period of 10 years of good behavior. “They’re trying to say, technically, it means I haven’t had a final discharge,” Laughton said.

But, in the prison system, officials consider final discharge to be when the convict is released, not when parole expires, according to Jeff Lyons, the Department of Corrections spokesman. “(Convicts) can run for office or vote while on probation or parole. The issue is confinement,” Lyons said Tuesday. “As far as we’re concerned, (Laughton) is no longer under our supervision.”

Still, investigators from the New Hampshire attorney general’s office are looking into the matter to see if Laughton abided by the law. “This is kind of a perfect juxtaposition of sentencing law and election law,” said Michael Brown, a senior attorney general. “We’re looking into the matter. … We have yet to make a determination.”

Despite the state investigation, Laughton hesitated to resign at first.

As recently as Tuesday morning, she had posted on her personal Facebook page: “What (sic) did anyone think I was going to give up. Not a chance.

That is not in my nature. We move forward and we do not give up or give in.”

But around 1 p.m., Laughton said, she learned that violations of state requirements were in question.

“We’re trying to get that clarified,” she said. “But now, to try to get some of the bad press to stop being from preceding page Army! THANK YOU Lakes Region!

generated … now I’ve decided to resign and leave my options open for future runs for office. Because it’s been spreading more than just in the state, its been getting some national attention.”

If she broke any laws, it wasn’t done intentionally, Laughton said.

“A lot of my supporters did know, and the ones that didn’t know, they didn’t ask,” Laughton said, referring to her criminal past. “I would’ve been more than happy to discuss it with them if they had asked me if I had any criminal background … I don’t feel as though that I ever deceived anyone, but for those that feel as though that they were deceived, I am truly sorry and that was never my intention.”

News of her announcement prompted a quick response from Raymond Buckley, chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, saying Democratic leaders “will stay focused on the work they were sent there by voters to do: move New Hampshire and our economy forward.”

Laughton filed to run for state representative at Nashua’s city clerk’s office, which is not required by state law to perform criminal background checks on candidates.

“There’s no process. There’s also apparently no restrictions under state law,” Nashua City Clerk Paul Bergeron said. “I suppose it’s conceivable that someone might not have met the standard of final

discharge, and I would have no idea how we would determine that.”

Once Laughton gives up her seat, it will be up to the Nashua Board of Aldermen to determine how to move forward. The aldermen, charged with arranging the city’s elections, could schedule a make-up vote to find Laughton’s replacement, according to Karen Wadsworth, clerk of the House of Representatives. But, the board also could decline to hold the election to save costs, leaving the 400-seat House with 399 representatives throughout the term, Wadsworth said.

“I would definitely want a special election for someone to fill it. I wouldn’t want someone appointed,” Ward 4 Alderman Art Craffey said.

On Nov. 6, Laughton won one of three seats in the state House of Representatives in Ward 4, joining Democrats David Cote and Mary Gorman. She garnered 1,588 votes, easily beating two Republican candidates.

“It would be very difficult for her to be an effective legislator with this issue that’s been raised,” said Mayor Donnalee Lozeau on Tuesday. “I’m quite certain that her goal was to be an effective legislator.”

Also to be determined is whether Laughton and her ex-wife Lisa – who also faced charges in the incidents, Laughton said – will have to resign their see next page

Plan would grant downtown building owners tax breaks relative to improvements

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — At the suggestion of City Manager Scott Myers, the City Council this week agreed to consider adopting the “community revitalization tax relief incentive,” a program intended to put buildings in city and town centers to their highest and best use by offering property tax breaks.

The council will hold a public hearing on the issue at its next regularly scheduled on December 10.

In 2007, a year after the New Hampshire Legislature enacted the program, the council briefly discussed it, but never voted to implement it.

The “community revitalization tax relief incentive” (RSA 79-E) permits municipalities to tax improved properties at their unimproved value for up to five years and as many as nine years for affordable housing projects and designated historic buildings. The measure is aimed specifically at downtown buildings, or those in town or village centers, as designated by the master plan or zoning ordinance or identified by the governing body of the municipality.

To qualify for property tax relief, the owner must undertake rehabilitation or renovation equal to 15-percent of the assessed valuation of the structure or $75,000, whichever is less. Moreover, not more than half the construction cost of the project can be subsidized by state or federal programs.

The City Council may grant tax relief provided it finds that the projects serves one of the following “public benefits”: Enhancing the “economic vitality” of the downtown, improving a culturally or historically significant structure, promoting the develop-

ment of the municipal center, or by increasing the stock of housing in the urban core.

The property owner must enter a covenant, recorded as a burden on the property at the registry of deeds, ensuring that the building will be maintained and used in a manner that serves the public benefit. The duration of the covenant must match the period for which the tax relief is granted. If the property owner fails to honor the covenant, the governing body of the municipality can terminate or reduce the term of the tax relief and, if the covenant is terminated, can recover all back taxes with interest.

The law authorizes the municipality to continue taxing the property at its unimproved value for up to five years from the completion of the rehabilitation or renovation. The tax relief may be extended for another two years if the project creates new residential units, and for another four years if it includes “affordable housing.” Likewise, buildings eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, state register of historic places or a local historic district could be granted an additional four years of tax relief provided that the renovation meets the standards set by the United States Department of the Interior.

Myers said that the deferral of property taxes could represent a significant incentive for a property owner and, as one element of a business plan, could help to qualify a project for financing. He noted that since downtown is also designated as an “economic revitalization zone” (ERZ), a property owner could also qualify for credits against state business taxes.

The “community revitalization tax relief incen-

tive” would be somewhat at odds with “tax increment financing” (TIF), a mechanism the city has adopted to fund construction and improvement of public infrastructure. Tax increment financing uses property tax revenue generated by redevelopment of private property in a defined TIF district to fund the accompanying improvement of public infrastructure. Many of the eligible properties in Laconia would lie within the bounds of the two TIF districts in downtown and Lakeport. In short, one program relies on the property tax revenue generated by private investment while the other forgoes the same revenue to encourage redevelopment.

Myers acknowledged “there are trade-offs,” but added that to the extent property tax relief contributed to higher property values, the city would ultimately benefit from increased property tax receipts.

The tax relief incentive would bear on the operation of the city’s property tax cap. The tax cap limits the annual increase in total expenditures funded by property taxes to the rate of inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index — Urban (CPI), for the prior calendar year, plus an additional amount tied to the value of new construction, which is calculated by multiplying the value of building permits issued between April 1 and March 31 by the prior year’s property tax rate. The incentive would create a class of properties that would qualify both as “new construction” and “non-taxable property.” Any additional expenditures represented by the value new construction that qualified for the tax relief incentive would also be foregone.

Government study finds U.S. motorcycle deaths & injuries cost $16B in 2010 WASHINGTON (AP) — Direct costs from deaths and injuries due to motorcycle crashes were $16 billion in 2010, but the full cost is likely higher because long-term medical expenses are difficult to measure, a government report said.

Motorcyclists are involved in fatal crashes at higher rates than drivers of other types of vehicles, and are 30 times more likely to die in a traffic crash than passenger car occupants, according to the Government Accountability Office report.

In 2010, 82,000 motorcyclists were injured and 4,502 were killed in crashes, the report said. The average cost for a fatal crash was estimated at $1.2 million, while the cost for injuries ranged from $2,500 to $1.4 million depending upon the severity.

It’s difficult to determine the full costs with accuracy because some types of costs are difficult to measure, the report said. For example, treating serious injuries can be long and expensive, but follow-up analyses of costs are conducted only for a few years.

Also, other consequences of long-term injuries such as changes in employment and living status can’t be fully measured, the report said.

Laws requiring all motorcyclists to wear helmets

are the only strategy proven effective in reducing fatalities and injuries, the report said. Several studies have estimated helmets reduce the risk of death by as much as 39 percent, the report said.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has estimated helmets saved the lives of 1,550 motorcyclists in 2010.

However, there has been strong opposition from motorcycle groups to “universal” helmet laws, and only 19 states have them. Another 28 states have “partial” helmet laws that require only some motorcyclists to wear helmets, usually riders under age 21 or under age 18.

Three states have no helmet laws: Illinois, Iowa and New Hampshire.

Earlier this year, Michigan legislators repealed that state’s helmet requirement for motorcyclists over 21. Other proposals to repeal mandatory helmet laws were considered in California, Maryland, Missouri and Tennessee.

While many motorcycle groups endorse the use of helmets, they also oppose mandatory helmet laws as infringements on personal liberties and their right to assume the risk of riding without a helmet, the

report said.

“We are 100 percent pro-helmet, and 100 percent anti-helmet law,” Jeff Hennie, vice president of the Motorcycle Riders Foundation, said. “Putting a helmet law in place does not reduce motorcycle fatalities.”

Educating other motorists to look out for motorcyclists, and teaching motorcyclists how to ride safely, “is the ultimate solution for saving lives,” he said.

But Jackie Gillan, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, which supports mandatory helmet laws, said: “Education is not a substitute for wearing a helmet.”

“It’s like saying if you take a driver’s ed class, you don’t have to wear your seat belt,” she said. “Now how silly is that?”

Partial helmet laws are also difficult to enforce because it’s hard for police to tell the age of motorcyclists as they go whizzing by, she said.

The National Transportation Safety Board dropped mandatory helmet laws from their list of ten “most wanted” safety improvements earlier this month, angering some safety advocates.

Marvin Miller, union leader who transformed baseball to era of free agency dies at 95

NEW YORK (AP) — Marvin Miller was a labor economist who never played a day of organized baseball. He preferred tennis. Yet he transformed the national pastime as surely as Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, television and night games.

Miller, the union boss who won free agency for baseball players in 1975, ushering in an era of multimillion-dollar contracts and athletes who switch teams at the drop of a batting helmet, died Tuesday at 95. He had been diagnosed with liver cancer in August.

“I think he’s the most important baseball figure of the last 50 years,” former baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent said. “He changed not just the sport but the business of the sport permanently, and he truly emancipated the baseball player — and in the process all professional athletes. Prior to his time, they had few rights. At the moment, they control the games.”

In his 16 1/2 years as executive director of the Major League Players Association, starting in 1966,

Miller fought owners on many fronts, not only achieving free agency but making the word “strike” stand for something other than a pitched ball.

Over the years, his influence was widely acknowledged if not always honored. Baseball fans argue over whether he made the game fairer or more nakedly mercenary, and the Hall of Fame repeatedly rejected him in what was attributed to lingering resentment among team owners.

Players attending the union’s annual executive board meeting in New York said their professional lives are Miller’s legacy.

“Anyone who’s ever played modern professional sports owes a debt of gratitude to Marvin Miller,” Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Chris Capuano said.

“He empowered us as players. He gave us ownership of the game we play. Anyone who steps on a field in any sport, they have a voice because of him.”

Major League Baseball’s revenue has grown from $50 million in 1967 to $7.5 billion this year. At his

last public speaking engagement, a discussion at New York University School of Law in April marking the 40th anniversary of the first baseball strike, Miller said free agency and resulting fan interest contributed to the increase. And both management and labor benefited, he said.

“I never before saw such a win-win situation in my life, where everybody involved in Major League Baseball, both sides of the equation, still continue to set records in terms of revenue and profits and salaries and benefits,” Miller said. He called it “an amazing story.”

Miller, who retired in 1982, led the first walkout in the game’s history 10 years earlier, a fight over pension benefits. On April 5, 1972, signs posted at major league parks simply said: “No Game Today.”

The strike, which lasted 13 days, was followed by a walkout during spring training in 1976 and a midseason job action that darkened the stadiums for seven weeks in 1981.

Solid support for planning & land use spending on the Belmont BudCom

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — Despite an attempt by one member to eliminate the Conservation Commission’s budget in its entirety, the Budget Committee voted last night to fund all land use departments as the selectmen recommended.

Member Tonyel Mitchell-Berry made motion to eliminate the $24,526 requested for the Conservation Committee but the motion died for lack of a second. The request was up $313 from 2012.

The proposed Department of Planning and Land Use budget is $296,166 for 2013 up from $287,690 in 2012 with the bulk of the increase coming in retirement and insurance.

Mitchell-Berry’s motion came after a presentation by Town Planner Candace Daigle who explained the salary line items in each budget — including that of the land use technician.

Daigle said she is the town planner and since 1995 there has been a land use administrator. There is a floating full-time secretarial position within “town hall” of which two hours are attributed to the DPLU. Four hours of the floating secretarial position are carried in the Conservation Commission budget.

There is also a land use technician who, Daigle said, works for the Board of Selectmen. Thirty-six of his 40-hour work week is carried under the Department of Land Use budget and four hours is carried under the Conservation Commission Budget.

The land use technician works from the Department of Land Use offices and Daigle said that makes it more convenient for customers, likening it to “one-stop shopping.”

She said the land use technican’s salary was incorporated into the ARAFAT from page 2 By midmorning, the grave was resealed, and Palestinian officials laid wreaths of flowers to signal Arafat’s reburial.

The three teams will separately analyze the samples for possible poison, including polonium-210, a lethal radioactive substance first detected in elevated amounts on some of Arafat’s clothing this summer.

Polonium disintegrates rapidly, and experts have cautioned that too much time may have passed since Arafat’s death to reach a conclusive result.

Polonium was used in the 2006 killing of Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB officer turned Russian government critic. Litvinenko blamed the Kremlin for poisoning him.

Israel has denied killing Arafat, but many Palestinians believe Israel’s then-prime minister, Arafat nemesis Ariel Sharon, had means, motive and opportunity.

Former Sharon spokesman Raanan Gissin said Tuesday that such allegations are baseless and that Israel “had no reason” to kill Arafat, who in his final years lived under Israeli military siege in his walled West Bank compound.

Palestinians launched an investiga-

Department of Land Use in 2002 — one year after it was created. In 2012, said Daigle, 27 percent of the land use technician’s time was spent on land use; 21 percent on town matters such as village revitalization and the Church Street Bridge; 21 percent was spent on the Conservation Commission; 11 percent was spent in administration; 9 percent was spent on the BRATT or Belmont Regional Alternative Trail Team; 9 percent was spent on code enforcement, assessing and customer service; and the final 2 percent was spent on other duties.

One hour of Daigle’s salary, four hours of the Land Use Technician and four hours of the floating secretary are carried in the Conservation Committee budget and Mitchell-Berry’s suggestion was that those hours be eliminated from the 2013 proposed budget by eliminating the appropriation for the Conservation Commission. She suggested the duties could be performed by existing staff in the hours left.

Daigle responded by saying that for her personally she would take an hour pay cut, but that she thought the four hours of minutes taking for the secretary were necessary. She also said the position was full-time, with benefits, and the selectmen would have to determine what hours were worked and where.

As to cutting the hours of the land use technician, she said she would again have to defer to the Board of Selectmen because it technically controls the land use technician.

Conservation Commission Chair Ken Knowlton said that the Conservation Commission was a “very professional board but recalled the days when it was all all volunteer and “not much got done.”

“We are more effective with land use staff,” Knowlton said.

tion immediately after Arafat’s death at a French military hospital but made no progress. The dormant probe got a jolt this summer when a Swiss lab found the polonium on Arafat belongings provided by his widow, Suha.

The initial discovery, part of an investigation by the Arab satellite TV station Al-Jazeera, was followed by wrangling between Mrs. Arafat, other relatives and Arafat’s successor, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Mrs. Arafat wanted a quick exhumation, Abbas initially hesitated and Arafat nephew Nasser al-Kidwa said he opposed digging up the remains.

In the end, Abbas could not be seen as blocking a thorough investigation and, armed with blessings from Muslim religious leaders, authorized the exhumation.

Abbas was en route to the United Nations on Tuesday, giving him some distance from the proceedings right outside his office window.

Three different teams were present when the grave was opened Tuesday: one from the Swiss lab, one from France, where an official death inquiry was launched at the request of the widow, and one from Russia, responding to a call for help by Abbas.

Family’s Sunday concert to aid Habitat building project LACONIA — A Franklin family and friends will be performing in concert at St. James Episcopal Church at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2, with all proceeds going towards the construction of a handicap accessible Habitat for Humanity House that is in the planning stages. Admission will be by free-will offering.

And the performers — Robert and Kelly Soboslai and their 9-year-old son Robert, Jr. and Kelly’s INTER-LAKES from page one Hall and in Sandwich and will involve some form of a meal, perhaps snacks and finger foods as suggested by School Board member Sally Whalen of Center Harbor.

School Board Chairman Richard Hanson said that the meetings will provide a more relaxed atmosphere which encourages open communication between board members and the public.

He and Ormond proposed a 5 p.m. starting time for those meetings but Howard Cunningham of Sandwich said that starting them at 6 p.m. would likely enable more people to attend and that adjustments could be made once the board gets a feel for what is the best time for the public.

The board has also changed the format of the first meeting of the month, which will now start at 6:30 p.m. following a 5:30 p.m. policy meeting. Non-public sessions, which had been held at 6:30 p.m. with regular meetings following at 7 p.m., will now be held following the conclusion of the board’s regular meeting.

Hanson said that in the event of a major issue which would require an non-public session and at which a decision might be made that the public should be made aware of, the board could hold the executive session prior to the regular meeting. ‘’By holding the meeting earlier, we’ll be shortening up the evenings for board members and the public,’’ said Ormond.

Hanson said it was important that the board reveal any decisions made in non-public sessions, even if the public is not present, and that as a safeguard any decisions which were made would be announced at the start of the next board meeting.

NOTES: Chairman Hanson said that it was his

mother Barbara Emerson — are also the very same people the home on Dearborn Street in Franklin will be built for. Robert, Sr. works at Market Basket in Tilton, Kelly is a stay-at-home home, Robert Jr. is a 4th grader at Paul Smith Elementary School and Barabara is retired. Both Kelly and her mother suffer from Muscular Dystrophy, hence the need for a handicap accessible home.

Construction is expected to begin in the spring.

FRANKLIN (AP) — A New Hampshire man charged with arson in connection with a fire that destroyed his house says he didn’t do it.

WMUR-TV reports that 50-yearold Philip Rudolph of Franklin told a district court judge Tuesday that he didn’t need to set his house on fire to get insurance money.

The judge cautioned Rudolph to be

quiet and advised him to discuss his case with a lawyer.

Franklin firefighters were able to extinguish a fire at Rudolph’s house the morning of Nov. 15. A second fire later in the day destroyed the house.

Rudolph is due back in court Dec. 4.

The judge set his bail at $50,000.

Rudolph is charged with arson and insurance fraud.

SANDWICH from page one University’s Center for the Environment that said the “illumination in town is more than adequate.”

According to the report, Sandwich was “far removed from major highways and has no nocturnal traffic.”

Yet others have noted that Sandwich’s 30 street lights have little effect on the town’s overall carbon footprint and that other town buildings should be addressed for energy sustainability before the street lights.

Selectman’s Secretary Catherine Graham said the NHEC will install the two test lights, the first at the corner of Quimby Field and Main Street and the second is the next light down in front of the Post Office. She said selectmen wanted people to be able to see what two lights next to each other would look like.

She said NHEC said they would take care not to destroy the incandescent fixtures from the two test

light in the event that people vote at annual Town Meeting in March not to change to LED lighting. She said NHEC is putting in for a work order and, barring extreme weather, hope to have the test lights installed within a couple of weeks.

Right now the town of Sandwich owns the streetlights and NHEC charges a flat rate of $8.87 per light per month.

If all the lights stay as they are, NHEC officials have told the town to double its budget for 2013, which they say will reflect the true cost of operating incandescent lighting.

Should the town vote in March to switch to LED lights, the NHEC has said it would cost $13.99 per light per month and they would absorb the cost of switching all of the fixtures provided the town enter into a fiveyear agreement for the new fixtures.

NHEC will assume ownership of the new lights.

EGYPT from page 2 elected president.

The protests were sparked by edicts Morsi issued last week that effectively neutralize the judiciary, the last branch of government he does not control. But they turned into a broader outpouring of anger against Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood, which opponents say have used election victories to monopolize power, squeeze out rivals and dictate a new, Islamist constitution, while doing little to solve Egypt’s mounting economic and security woes.

Clashes broke out in several cities,

with Morsi’s opponents attacking Brotherhood offices, setting fire to at least one. Protesters and Brotherhood members pelted each other with stones and firebombs in the Nile Delta city of Mahalla el-Kobra, leaving at least 100 people injured.

“Power has exposed the Brotherhood. We discovered their true face,” said Laila Salah, a housewife at the Tahrir protest who said she voted for Morsi in last summer’s presidential election. After Mubarak, she said, Egyptians would no longer accept being ruled by an autocrat. see next page

Retaining community college students said to be key to doubling number of STEM degrees awarded MANCHESTER (AP) — Working harder to hold onto already interested students is faster and less expensive than recruiting newcomers when it comes to increasing the number of science, technology, engineering and math degrees, a national education expert told New Hampshire education leaders Tuesday.

Jay Labov, a senior adviser for the National Research Council, was the keynote speaker at a forum hosted by the University System of New Hampshire and the state’s community college system. Last year, the 11 public institutions that make up both groups set a goal of doubling the number of so-called STEM degrees awarded by 2025, and as UNH President Mark Huddleston said Tuesday, they’re still working to put some “meat on the bones” of that agreement.

Rather than focus on recruiting, Labov urged the forum participants to explore how to better retain incoming students who’ve expressed an interest in the four fields.

Labov said 60 percent of students who come into college wanting to major in science, technology, engineering or math end up changing their majors.

Some switch because the work is too difficult, but most switch because their courses weren’t what they expected — they complain about being “just a number” in huge lecture classes and don’t feel like the material presented to them is relevant, he said.

“We are losing huge numbers of people because of the ways we teach science,” he said.

Increasing that retention figure to just 50 percent would generate three-quarters of the estimated 1 million additional STEM graduates that will be needed in the next decade, he said, though many factors make that challenging. Current students likely will have 10-15 jobs — some of which haven’t yet been invented — by the time they reach their mid50s. And the world of technology changes so quickly that information given to students as freshmen may from preceding page “It’s like a wife whose husband was beating her and then she divorces him and becomes free,” she said. “If she remarries she’ll never accept another day of abuse.”

Gehad el-Haddad, a senior adviser to the Brotherhood and its political party, said Morsi would not back down on his edicts. “We are not rescinding the declaration,” he told The Associated Press.

That sets the stage for a drawn-out battle that could throw the nation into greater turmoil. Protest organizers have called for another mass rally Friday.

If the Brotherhood responds with demonstrations of its own, as some of its leaders have hinted, it would raise the prospect of greater violence after a series of clashes between the two camps in recent days.

A tweet by the Brotherhood warned that if the opposition was able to bring out 200,000 to 300,000, “they should brace for millions in support” of Morsi.

Another flashpoint could come Sunday, when the constitutional court is to rule on whether to dissolve the assembly writing the new constitution, which

be outdated time they graduate, he said.

The latter trend troubled some forum participants, who said it appears to be at odds with businesses that complain that colleges and universities aren’t sending them trained workers. But several business leaders who spoke later said they want welleducated problem solvers, not necessarily graduates trained for a specific job.

Jeremy Hitchcock, CEO of DYN Inc., said in an industry where companies come and go quickly, being able to reduce the time getting new hires up to speed is essential. Joe Morone, president and CEO of Albany International Corp., agreed. His company is building a plant in Rochester that is expected to employ 400 people and will manufacture lightweight airplane engine blades that will ultimately end up in about half of all aircraft.

“We have no chance of pulling off this project — no chance — unless we successfully recruit, develop and retain a critical mass of STEM talent,” he said.

He described a study that found that when it comes to competitive advantages, retaining a talented workforce pays off much more than lowering prices, introducing new products or building new facilities.

“If you build a lead on talent, it will take the competition more than seven years to catch up,” he said.

“It’s not even close.”

Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan, who campaigned on a jobs plan that focused on building the best workforce in the country, told the forum that she will do everything she can to support their work. The group also heard from outgoing Gov. John Lynch, who said nearly every business owner he spoke to during his four terms expressed concerns about finding skilled workers.

He said the goal of doubling STEM graduates by 2025 was laudable, but doesn’t go far enough.

“I actually think we have to be more aggressive,” he said. “Let’s double it in five years or six years.” is dominated by the Brotherhood and its Islamist allies. Morsi’s edicts ban the courts from disbanding the panel; if the court defies him and rules anyway, it would be a direct challenge that could spill over into the streets.

“Then we are in the face of the challenge between the supreme court and the presidency,” said Nasser Amin, head of the Arab Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and the Legal Profession. “We are about to enter a serious conflict” on both the legal and street level, he said.

Morsi and his supporters say the decrees were necessary to prevent the judiciary from blocking the “revolution’s goals” of a transition to democracy. The courts — where many Mubarak-era judges still hold powerful posts — have already disbanded the first post-Mubarak elected parliament, which was led by the Brotherhood. Now it could also take aim at the Islamist-led upper house of parliament.

Morsi’s decrees ban the judiciary from doing so and grant his decisions immunity from judicial review.

Decorative Interiors, Opechee Garden Club helping infuse Bridges House with New Hampshire history CONCORD — The Bridges House was donated to the state of New Hampshire by the late Senator Styles Bridges to be used as the official Governor’s residence. Although not actually used as a residence, the home has served as a meeting place for the Governor’s office.

The Friends of the Bridges House, led by Dr. Susan Lynch, has worked tirelessly to restore the house to reflect the state’s culture and history. With private fundraising and donations the home has been renovated and will provide an attractive and functioning setting for non-profit and community events.

As an introduction and further enhancement of the property the Bridges House has been turned into

a Designer Show house open to the public through December 16.

Decorative Interiors of Laconia with designers Marcia Cotter and Stephanie Wentworth were selected to decorate the new all season porch. This new intimate meeting room highlights the view of the outdoors and provides a serene place for a variety of functions.

The room, with the help of the Opechee Garden Club, is now receiving a holiday makeover with festive holiday decorations.

Further information about the Bridges House and all upcoming events can be found at www.friendsofbridgeshouse.org.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The effect of your words and deeds will be as real as the ripple caused by the rock thrown into still waters. You will immediately see the way you move people.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Mine fields just look like fields until something blows up. Steer clear of temptation. There is a point at which your confidence can harm you. A false sense of security could lead to unnecessary danger.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you have grasped at something that hasn’t grasped back at you, the time has come to let it go. When you’re on your highest path, the petty concerns will melt away.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Since memory has a way of reordering events, being first or last won’t matter, only what you do with your turn. Play it well, and today becomes a story you’ll often repeat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

People want to be around you now.

Perhaps it’s the perfume of victory to which they are responding. Your sign mate Elizabeth Taylor once said, “Success is a great deodorant. It takes away all your past smells.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 28).

You’ll live thoughtfully. Next month, you’ll be the strong leader of an effective organization. In December, you’ll join a group, make friends and increase your influence. Love grows gradually through January. February financial shifts favor you. Work gets complex, pays better and provides entertainment, too. Leo and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 14, 38 and 33.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You won’t go down without a fight, and you won’t go up without one, either. There’s nothing wrong with your fighting mood.

It’s a sign that you’re very much alive!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The one who thinks of you isn’t always the one who should be thinking of you. You would do well to steer clear of people whose interest is not aligned with yours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are a role model whether or not you think it’s what you signed up for. Even if you don’t intend for others to copy you, they will. Being aware of your influence will be crucial to your success as a human.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you ask the fire, the lake is an enemy. But if you ask the frog, the lake is home, nourishment and the source of all goodness. You will qualify things according to your need for them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your needs may currently seem to clash with the needs of another, but this state won’t last forever. You could become partners again sooner than you think. This game can have two winners.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You could use a bit more faith. Instead of working hard to clear a path, believe that the path before you is already being cleared and move ahead with your main goal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a “friend” who surpassed you in some regard. Sometimes you wonder whether you’re ever going to see this person get their due comeuppance.

You will. Stay focused on your own scene. Keep taking action.

‘Small, Small World’ coming to Busiel Mill Subway restaurants

LACONIA — “Good things come in small packages.”

“If you cannot do great things, do great things in a small way.” (Napoleon Hill.) “It has long been an axiom of mine that little things are infinitely the most important.” (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle). “Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” (Mother Theresa) “Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.”

Day of holiday arts activities for kids planned at Winnipesaukee Playhouse campus this Saturday

LACONIA — The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is helping to give parents a head-start on holiday shopping by keeping children entertained with five hours of arts and holiday fun on Saturday, December 1.

The Holiday Arts Workshop is open to children aged 4-13 and will take place on the Playhouse’s Meredith Campus at 50 Reservoir Road from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

Marketing Director Lesley Pankhurst says, “as a working parent I know how difficult it can be to organize time to get holiday shopping done. We are hoping that this workshop will give parents some much needed free time while giving kids arts enrichment and some holiday-themed fun.”

Participants will be grouped by age and the event will include drama games, carol singing, a crafts class where kids will make a top-secret gift to give to a family member, and a costumed photo shoot. It will end with cocoa and cookies while watching a holiday movie.

The Playhouse has designed a slightly different program for tweens. Pankhurst says, “we’re aware that tweens are at that age where they don’t neces-

sarily want to do the same activities as a kindergartener. We are keeping the tween program separate.

Though they will participate in some of the same arts activities, they will be in a different building and their program will include baking and decorating cookies and watching a movie more appropriate for their age group.”

The Playhouse has designed this program so that children who have never participated in drama or who don’t have a strong interest in theatre will still enjoy the day. Pankhurst says, “we’re a theatre education program, so of course we’re going to have some drama and singing as part of the day. But we have purposely set up this particular event to be more about holiday fun and less like a lesson.”

The event costs $30 per child with a $5 discount for each sibling. Each parent will receive a Tanger Outlets coupon book and the Playhouse will be offering gift wrapping for a small additional fee. Children should bring a bagged lunch and snack. Enrollment is limited and applications can be found at www. winniplayhouse.org or by calling 366-7377.

Dear Annie: I am a woman who follows a strict diet. It has nothing to do with weight or any medical condition. I don’t care about calories. It’s about eating organic, and there are a lot of things I do not tolerate, such as corn syrup, food coloring, table sugar, unfiltered water, etc.

If I do not approve of a treat someone has made, is it appropriate to politely decline to accept it? On occasions where I’m given something I don’t have to eat in front of them, I graciously accept it and then give it away later. What if I’m on a date and the guy wants to take me where I wouldn’t ordinarily eat? Should I insist on sticking to my diet?

I can handle a few splurges here and there, but how do I avoid constantly eating junk without being rude or weird? I live in a rural area, so there are not many restaurant choices.

-- Upstate Dieter Dear Dieter: If someone offers you food that you prefer not to eat, don’t feel obligated to stick it in your mouth. Say “thank you” and put it aside, or if you are feeling expansive, explain that you have difficulty tolerating certain foods. When out on a date, you will need to be flexible if your choices are limited.

Most restaurants have options that, while not ideal, are tolerable on occasion -- plain baked chicken or fish, for example.

On subsequent dates, when you know each other better, let the guy know that you only eat organic. Then offer to cook him dinner.

Dear Annie: My mom is in her 60s and has been both divorced and widowed. She would love to find someone to spend time with, and we want her to be happy.

The problem is, Mom has devoted herself to this “man search” to the point that nothing else is important. When she meets a man, she becomes totally absorbed in him. When we

ask her to do things with her grandchildren, she replies, “I don’t know. I might get a better offer.” When we invite her to the kids’ events, she says, “I’m not sure. I am hoping someone will ask me out.”

Now we don’t call as much because it hurts to know we’re second best to any guy she just met. Mom is often lonely because she waits by the phone for “him” instead of doing things with other people. We wish she would also remember to make time for the family who loves her and the friends who want to spend time with her. Instead, she neglects us for any man who pops into her life. What can we do? -- Never the Better Offer Dear Never: There’s not much you can do if your mother insists on behaving like an adolescent girl. Try to accept this behavior as best you can. It isn’t intended to hurt you. Mom’s self-worth is tied to having a man in her life, and without one, she doesn’t feel she has value.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Just Wondering,” whose daughter-in-law has an overly close relationship with her 20-year-old son.

My son was 4 years old when his father and I divorced. A few years later, his dad left his life for good. My son has struggled throughout his years with social anxiety and many other mental issues, and we have been to counseling. He is also abnormally close to me and doesn’t like to leave my side.

Now that he is a teenager, people comment that it is not normal and he should be out with his friends. It is very easy for people to judge without knowing what it’s like to have a child who struggles with life. I do agree with your answer, though, that the family needs ongoing counseling. -- SFIP

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 28, 2012— Page 27

Lawsuit targets ‘locator’ chips implanted in Texas student IDs AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — To 15-year-old Andrea Hernandez, the tracking microchip embedded in her student ID card is a “mark of the beast,” sacrilege to her Christian faith — not to mention how it pinpoints her location, even in the school bathroom.

But to her budget-reeling San Antonio school district, those chips carry a potential $1.7 million in classroom funds.

Starting this fall, the fourth-largest school district in Texas is experimenting with “locator” chips in student ID badges on two of its campuses, allowing administrators to track the whereabouts of 4,200 students with GPS-like precision. Hernandez’s refusal to participate isn’t a twist on teenage rebellion, but has launched a debate over privacy and religion that has forged rare like-mindedness between typically opposing groups.

When Hernandez and her parents balked at the so-called SmartID, the school agreed to remove the chip but still required her to wear the badge. The family refused on religious grounds, stating in a lawsuit that even wearing the badge was tantamount to “submission of a false god” because the card still indicated her participation.

Services

On Wednesday, a state district judge is expected to decide whether Northside Independent School District can transfer Hernandez to a different campus.

“How often do you see an issue where the ACLU and Christian fundamentalists come together? It’s unusual,” said Chris Steinbach, the chief of staff for a Republican state lawmaker who has filed a bill to outlaw the technology in Texas schools.

The concept isn’t new, but hasn’t exactly caught on nationwide. In 2005, the American Civil Liberties Union raised concerns about a similar initiative at a California school. That same year, a suburban Houston school district began putting the chips in its student IDs, and served as the blueprint for Northside’s pilot program that began this fall.

Ronald Stephens, executive director of the nonprofit National School Safety Center, said he didn’t believe the technology to be widespread but predicted “it’ll be the next wave” in schools. The chips use radio-frequency identification (RFID) transmitters and only work on campus.

The Northside school district spent roughly $261,000 to equip students at one high school and one middle school with SmartIDs, a decision made

with safety and efficiency in mind, said district spokesman Pascual Gonzalez. Imagine quickly accounting for students in the event of a lockdown, he said, or cafeteria lines moving faster as scanners instantly identify who’s picking up that lunch tray.

Yet the biggest motivation was financial. In Texas, school funding is based on daily attendance. The more students seated in homeroom when the first bell rings, the more state dollars the school receives.

If a student is lingering in the hallway or the library when roll is called, the marked absence hurts the school’s bottom line.

But with the locator chips — the district doesn’t like to call them “tracking” — a clerk in the main office can find out if a student is elsewhere on campus, and if so, include them in the attendance count. Every student found amounts to another $30 in funding, based on the school’s calculations. In that way, those moving red dots that represent students on the clerk’s computer screen are like finding change in the couch cushions.

“Nobody is sitting at a bank of monitors looking for the whereabouts of 3,000 students,” Gonzalez said. “We don’t have the personnel for it, nor do we have the need to do that. But when I need to find (a student), I can enter his random number and I can find him somewhere as a red dot on that computer screen. ‘Oh, there he is, in Science Room 22’ or whatever. So we can locate students, but it’s not about tracking them.”

RICE from page 2 Said Graham: “Bottom line I’m more disturbed now than I was before that 16 September explanation.” He said in a later interview that Rice went “far beyond the flawed talking points” and should be held accountable.

“I’m more troubled today,” said Ayotte, who argued that it was clear in the days after the attack that it was terrorism and not a spontaneous demonstration prompted by an anti-Muslim video.

The White House remained defiant in its support for Rice, arguing that she was relying on an assessment from the intelligence community and had no responsibility in compiling the information on the cause of the attack. It dismissed what it characterized as a fixation on her national television appearances five days after the raid.

“The focus on, some might say, obsession on comments made on Sunday shows seems to me and to many, to be misplaced,” spokesman Jay Carney told reporters at a White House briefing.

House Democrats, including female members of the Congressional Black Caucus, have suggested that the GOP opposition to Rice is sexist and racist.

Senate Democrats, who will increase their advantage to 55-45 in the next Congress, said Rice could win confirmation if Republicans recognize the unfairness of penalizing her for the intelligence community’s talking points.

“The personal attacks against Ambassador Rice by certain Republican senators have been outrageous and utterly unmoored from facts and reality,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in a statement. “I am shocked that senators would continue these attacks even when the evidence — including disclosures from the intelligence community about the information she presented — have made it clear that the allegations against Ambassador Rice are baseless, and that she has done absolutely nothing wrong.”

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., told reporters that “it is so unfair to hold her responsible for something that she didn’t produce and which the intelligence community has specifically stood by.”

Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., who met separately with Rice and Morell, said the ambassador told him that she based her Sunday show appearance on material from the intelligence community and the White House neither provided briefings nor additional talking points.

Lieberman said she made clear she was following the talking points, and her account on Sept. 16 should not disqualify her from any appointment.
