Assessment dispute offers window to hard times at Weirs By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — On the eve of going to trial, Rusty Bertholet reached a tentative settlement with city officials over their denial of his request to abate the 2009 property taxes on his properties at The Weirs. The terms of the settlement, which
remains to be approved by the Board of Assessors, have not been disclosed. The dispute offers a glimpse of the flagging economy and soft property values of The Weirs. Bertholet, doing business as Leisure Time Rentals, LLC, challenged the assessment
of two properties. The first, a shopping mall, widely still known as the “Dexter Plaza,” at 28-36 Endicott Street consists of three buildings and a miniature golf course on 5.92 acres. One building, constructed in 1979, houses the Logs of Fun arcade in 3,435-square-feet. The other buildings, one of
6,986 square feet and another of 12,321 square feet, date from 1989 and have been home to a branch post office, the Winnipesaukee Playhouse, a restaurant and Dunkin Donuts among other tenants. Bertholet acquired the property, now known as Alpenrose Plaza, in see WeIRs page 10
Just another brick in the WOW
By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
SANBORNTON — While some recent changes to the payas-you throw trash system caught a few people by surprise, Public Works Director John Thayer said the move from bags to tags could save this town as much as $6,000 this fiscal year alone. The only issue, said former Selectman Patsy Wells, is that while the tags are still the same price as the special blue trash bags previously mandated — $1.25 — residents no longer get a bag for their $1.25 and are responsible for purchasing their own. “If the new tags cost $1 plus the usual cost of a trash bag 25 cents, we might have understood,” Wells said Monday night during a telephone interview. Thayer said the move from bags to tags was prompted by the soaring costs of the bags from when the pay-as-you-throw plan began, noting the prices of the former blue bags went from $7,000 to $10,000 largely because plastics are petroleumsee TaGs page 10

Syracuse chancellor says college sticking with Jim Boeheim
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Syracuse University Chancellor Nancy Cantor gave men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim a vote of confidence Tuesday amid an investigation of child molestation allegations against his former longtime assistant coach. Some commentators and sex abuse victims’ advocates had said Boeheim should resign or be fired after three men, including two former Syracuse ballboys, accused former assistant coach Bernie Fine of molesting them and Boeheim verbally attacked the accusers. “Coach Boeheim is our coach; he’s getting the team ready tonight,” Cantor said after an economic development conference with state officials in Albany. “We’re very pleased with what he said Sunday night, and we stand by him.” In his 36th season at his alma mater, Hall of Famer Boeheim ranks fifth all-time in wins in Division I and has a record 33 20-win seasons. Boeheim received a standing ovation as he see COACH page 9

Cain tells aids he’s reassessing viability of campaign ATLANTA (AP) — Herman Cain told aides Tuesday he is assessing whether the latest allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior against him “create too much of a cloud” for his Republican presidential candidacy to go forward. Acknowledging the “firestorm” arising from an accusation of infidelity, Cain only committed to keeping his campaign schedule for the next several days, in a conference call with his senior staff. “If a decision is made, different than to plow ahead, you all will be the first to
know,” he said, according to a transcript of the call made by the National Review, which listened to the conversation. It was the first time doubts about Cain’s continued candidacy had surfaced from the candidate himself. As recently as Tuesday morning, a campaign spokesman had stated unequivocally that Cain would not quit. Cain denied anew that he had an extramarital affair with a Georgia woman who went public a day earlier with allegations they had been intimate for 13 years. “It was just a friendship relationship,” he
said on the call, according to the transcript. “That being said, obviously, this is a cause for reassessment.” He went on: “With this latest one, we have to do an assessment as to whether or not this is going to create too much of a cloud, in some people’s minds, as to whether or not they would be able to support us going forth.” Saying the episode had taken an emotional toll on him and his family, Cain told the aides that people will have to decide whether they believe him or the accuser. see CAIN page 4
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge’s stern voice broke the silence of a Los Angeles courtroom: “Money for madness medicine,” he said before sentencing Dr. Conrad Murray to the maximum four years behind bars for Michael Jackson’s death. “Absolutely no sense of fault, and is and remains dangerous” to the community, Judge Michael Pastor said as he delivered a nearly half-hour tongue lashing that denounced Murray as a greedy, remorse-
less physician whose gross negligence killed the King of Pop. Pastor said Murray sold out his profession for a promised fee of $150,000 a month and accused Murray of committing a “horrific violation of trust” when he agreed to give Jackson a powerful anesthetic every night as an unorthodox cure for insomnia. Murray will likely serve less than two years in county jail, not state prison, because of California’s overcrowded pris-
ons and jails. Sheriff’s officials said he will be housed in a one-man cell and be kept away from other inmates. The tall, imposing Murray, who has been in jail for three weeks, was allowed to change into street clothes — a charcoal gray suit and white shirt — for court. But he wore prison issue white socks and soft slippers. Jackson’s family said in a statement read in court that they were not seeking revenge see DOCTOR page 10
DALLAS (AP) — The parent company of American Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection Tuesday, seeking relief from crushing debt caused by high fuel prices and expensive labor contracts that its competitors shed years ago. The company also replaced its CEO, and
the incoming leader said American would probably cut its flight schedule “modestly” while it reorganizes. The new CEO, Thomas W. Horton, did not give specifics. For most travelers, though, flights will operate normally and the airline will honor tickets and take reservations. Amer-
ican said its frequent-flier program would be unaffected. AMR Corp., which owns American, was one of the last major U.S. airline companies that had avoided bankruptcy. Rivals United and Delta used bankruptcy to shed see AMERICAN page 12

Egypt’s military takes credit Teen accused of Craigslist murder looks dazed in court CALDWELL, Ohio (AP) — A teen accused of comments as she walked briskly to a black pickup for big election turnout murder made his first public court appearance Tuesacross the street.
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s military rulers were quick to take credit Tuesday for a strong turnout in the first elections since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster, a vote that appeared to be the country’s freest and fairest in living memory. The military did not field candidates in the parliamentary vote. But winning bragging rights for a smooth, successful and virtually fraud-free election would significantly boost the ruling generals in their bitter struggle with youthful protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square calling for them to transfer power immediately to a civilian authority. “When we plan, we execute and, at the end, we succeed,” Maj. Gen. Ismail Etman, a member of the ruling military council, said in a television interview. He compared the elections to one of the Egyptian military’s proudest moments — when they battled Israeli forces across the Suez Canal in 1973. “The armed forces pulled off this election like they pulled off the crossing in 1973,” he said. Even before two days of voting began Monday, protesters were accusing the military of trying to cling to power and safeguard its interests under any future government. Now, they warn the ruling council will try to use the success of the election to cement its hold on power.
Owner of jewelry store at Concord mall charged with receiving goods from burglaries CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire jewelry store owner is charged with receiving stolen property after a months-long investigation into Concord area burglaries. Police say a Dunbarton resident whose home was burglarized in October recognized his stolen class ring on display at the Golden Times Jewelry Store at the Steeplegate Mall. They say by the time officers reached the store, the engraving on the ring had been altered. In addition to receiving stolen goods, police charged 42-year-old Hung Hoang (hoh-WANG) of Manchester with falsifying physical evidence. Police say he received numerous pieces of jewelry stolen from homes in and around Concord in recent months. Huang was arrested Tuesday and is due in court on Jan. 9, 2012. He declined to comment when reached at his store, which he said is closed for business.

day on charges he was part of a deadly robbery team that lured victims with a phony job ad, appearing dazed as a judge postponed a hearing on whether he should be tried as an adult. The 16-year-old boy appeared briefly in a courtroom in Noble County. A juvenile judge put off the hearing because the boy’s father, who wasn’t present, hadn’t received proper notice of new charges filed last week. The next hearing will probably happen in a couple of weeks, the judge said. The Akron teenager faces juvenile charges of aggravated murder, complicity to aggravated murder, attempted murder and complicity to attempted murder in the death of one man and the shooting of another. He is a junior at Stow Munroe City Schools, about 40 miles southeast of Cleveland, and is being held at a juvenile detention center in Muskingum County. The boy wore sneakers, dark slacks, a shirt and a rain jacket as he was led into court with his hands cuffed in front of him, appearing slightly stunned. He didn’t speak during the hearing or afterward as police hustled him into a police car. His mother sat on a bench directly behind him during the short hearing, rocking back and forth and appearing on the verge of tears. She left the courthouse hurriedly and gave only a few fleeting
“We’re praying for the families and the victims,” she said to reporters. After she got into the passenger seat, she rolled the window down and said, “God bless you all. Do the right thing. Get the truth.” Authorities say the teenager was involved in a scheme in which applicants answering a Craigslist ad for a phony job at a nonexistent cattle ranch in Noble County, 90 miles south of Akron in rural southeastern Ohio, were robbed, then killed. Authorities say they have connected two bodies to the scheme and identified one other man who was shot but escaped. The teen was questioned by the FBI and arrested in mid-November several days after Scott Davis, of South Carolina, said was shot in the arm and escaped after he answered the ad. The body of Norfolk, Va., resident David Pauley, 51, was also found on the Noble County property, owned by a coal company and often leased to hunters. Authorities say Pauley was killed Oct. 23. Timothy Kern, 47, of Massillon, was found buried Friday near an Akron-area shopping mall. He had been shot in the head. A third body also found Friday was that of a man who was killed by a gunshot to the head, the coroner in Noble County said Tuesday. Authorities haven’t see CRAIGSLIST page 12
N.H. DOT truck hits & kills pedestrian in Keene CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire pedestrian is dead after being struck by a state Department of Transportation truck in Keene. The accident occurred on Route 9 north just before noon. Transportation Department spokesman Bill Boynton said the victim is a 52-year-old man.
He said the accident occurred at a point where the city of Keene plans to build a pedestrian bridge over the highway to permit safe passage between two segments of a recreation trail. The victim was struck by a 10-wheel-truck hauling an empty trailer. His identity was not released. Keene police are investigating.

Gilford police investigating home invasion attempt GILFORD — Police are looking for two men who allegedly forced their way into a woman’s home on Annis Drive Monday evening. Police said a woman who lives in a home at the Lily Pond Trailer Park answered a knock on the door around 8:50 p.m. and saw two men standing on her porch. She told police when she called them about 10:30 p.m. that one of the men “brandished a folding knife and told her to let them in or she would be cut.” When the woman tried to shut the door, she struggled with her would be attackers and was cut on the palm of her right hand. Police said the cut
appeared to be superficial and the woman declined professional treatment. The woman ran into the street and began screaming for help and the two men ran away toward Lake Shore Road. She described them as white males. One was in his 20s and was between 5-feet 6-inches and 5-feet 10-inches tall. The other one was in his 40s and about 5-feet 6-inches, balding, had some facial growth and was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Gilford Police at 527-4737.

LOUDON —For the first time since 1996, the year after NASCAR introduced its truck series, the modified production pickup trucks will not be racing on “the magic mile” at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) in 2012. NASCAR announced this week that the Camping World Truck Series would not be returning to Loudon next year while trimming the schedule for the series from 25 to 22 races. Along with NHMS, NASCAR scratched races at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis and Darlington Raceway in South Carolina from the schedule while Nashville Superspeedway, which had hosted two races, closed. The series will return to Rockingham Speedway in North Carolina and run twice at Iowa Speedway in Newton. “NASCAR sets the schedules,” said Jerry Gappens,
general manager of NHMS. He dispelled rumors that NHMS’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race would be moving and declared “we have two of the most successful events on the schedule, period,” referring to the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series races in July and a second Sprint Cup race in September. He said that Kentucky Speedway in Sparta sought to add a second NASCAR event to its schedule and secured a truck race in September, when the race was held at NHMS. Interviewed about the revised schedule, Steve O’Donnell, vice-president of racing operations of NASCAR said “we want to be at the best tracks possible. And we think we are.” He added that NASCAR expects to expand the truck series in 2013 and in the meantime “wanted to take the time and to make sure that we were really at tracks that we felt were in the best interest of the series and the owners.”
CAIN from page 2 “That’s why we’re going to give it time, to see what type of response we get from our supporters.” Cain has denied the affair as well as several other accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior that have dogged his candidacy over the past month. He had been publicly resolute about pressing ahead even as his standing in public opinion polls and his fundraising started to slide. But in the conference call, he pledged only to keep his imminent schedule, including a foreign policy speech at Hillsdale College in Michigan later Tues-
day that he promised to deliver with “vim, vigor and enthusiasm.” He scrapped at least one planned event, withdrawing from a party in New York on Sunday to meet with some of the city’s top journalists including NBC’s Matt Lauer and ABC’s Barbara Walters. Cindy Adams, the New York Post columnist hosting the dinner, told the AP she had received a call Tuesday from Cain adviser John Coale saying Cain had decided not to attend. Coale declined to comment. Still, Cain was what one participant described as see next page

Tuesday route continues to lead way in recycling challenge By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The tonnage of recyclables collected increased slightly during the second round of the Recycling Challenge that began on October 31. City Manager Scott Myers told the City Council this week that the 27.07 tons collected at the curbside in the last two weeks was 2.9-percent more than the 26.31 tons collected during the first round of the challenge. The recycled tonnage represented 13.8-percent of all the solid waste collected compared to 13.4-percent for the first round. The Recycling Challenge pits each of the five daily trash collection routes, along with the four remote recycling sites against one another in a contest to determine which can increase its percentage of recycled waste the most. During September the total tonnage of trash and recyclables collected each day along the five routes was tallied and the percentage
of recyclable materials calculated. Likewise, the tonnage of recyclables collected at the remote locations was recorded. Every two weeks the increase in recycling will be tallied and reported. The share of recyclables increases on four of the five routes during the second round. Residents on the Tuesday route continued to set the pace by recycling 8.63 tons, or 22-percent of their trash, two-percent more than in the first round and eight points more than those on the Monday route whose recycling also rose two-percent to 14-percent of their waste. The Wednesday and Thursday routes each recycled 12-percent of their trash to post increases of two-percent and one-percent respectively. Only Friday’s route, which again recycled 10-percent, failed to record an increase. Myers said that the goal of the challenge is to recycle 25-percent of all solid waste by March 1.
Police investigating 3 burglaries in central Union Ave. area LACONIA — City police are investigating a series of burglaries in the area of the Taylor Community on Union Ave. Lt. Matt Canfield said police received reports yesterday of three burglaries — one on Kinsman Drive, which is on the Taylor Community campus, one on nearby Walker Street and one at the now-closed Galley Restaurant. He said the two homes that were burgled, were entered while the homeowners were away and
occurred in the last week. At press time he said he had very little information about the Galley Restaurant burglary. Canfield said each burglary involved a forced entry and all three show some similarities but declined to specify. Anyone with any information about is asked to call Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crimeline at 524-1717. — Gail Ober
from preceding page calm and deliberate as he addressed his staff on the conference call. The participant, Florida state Rep. Scott Plakon, one of four chairmen for Cain’s Florida campaign, said he wanted to see more evidence from the accuser. “If it is true that he didn’t do this, I think he should fight and kick and scratch and win,” Plakon said. But if Cain did have the affair, Plakon said, it would be unacceptable to Republican voters. “That would be very problematic,” he said. “There’s the affair itself and then there’s the truthful factor. He’s been so outspoken in these denials.” After the conference call, Cain attorney Linn Wood told AP: “Any report that Mr. Cain has decided
to withdraw his candidacy is inaccurate.” “I think they are assessing the situation, just as I would expect the campaign to do or any prudent business person to do,” said Wood. He added that he would hate to see what he described as false accusations drive Cain out of the race for the presidency. On Monday, Ginger White said in an interview with Fox 5 Atlanta that her affair with Cain ended not long before the former businessman from Georgia announced his candidacy for the White House. “It was fun,” said White, 46, as she described Cain buying her plane tickets for a rendezvous in Palm Springs, Calif. “It was something that took me away from my sort of humdrum life at the time. And it was exciting.”

Entitlements, not tax cuts, widening the wealth gap What should be done about income inequality? That basic question underlies the arguments hashed out in the supercommittee and promises to be a central issue in the presidential campaign. Supercommittee Democrats argue that income inequality has been increasing and can be at least partially reversed by higher tax rates on high earners. They refused to agree on any deal that didn’t include such tax increases. Supercommittee Republicans offered a plan to eliminate tax preferences and reduce tax rates, as in the 1986 bipartisan tax reform. They argued that high tax rates would squelch economic growth. They didn’t make the case that their proposals would also address income inequality. But House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, in a 17-page paper based largely on a Congressional Budget Office analysis of income trends between 1979 and 2007, has done so. Ryan, a Republican from Wisconsin, makes the point that the government redistributes income not only through taxes but also through transfer payments, including Social Security, Medicare, food stamps and unemployment benefits. The CBO study helpfully measures income, adjusted for inflation, after taxes and after such transfer payments. Many may find the results of the CBO study surprising. It turns out, Ryan reports, that federal income taxes (including the refundable Earned Income Tax Credit) actually decreased income inequality slightly between 1979 and 2007, while the federal payroll taxes that supposedly fund Social Security and Medicare slightly increased income inequality. That’s despite the fact that income tax rates are lower than in 1979 and payroll taxes higher. Perhaps even more surprising, federal transfer payments have done much more to increase income inequality than federal taxes. That’s because, in Ryan’s words, “the distribution of government transfers has moved away from households in the lower part of the income scale. For instance, in 1979, households in the lowest income quintile received 54-percent of all transfer payments. In 2007, those households received just 36-percent of transfers.” In effect, Social Security and Medicare have been transferring money from low-earning young people (who don’t pay income but are hit by the payroll tax) to increasingly affluent old people. The Democrats, perhaps following the polls and focus groups, have been protecting these entitlement programs that have done more to increase income inequality than the Reagan and Bush tax cuts put
together. Ryan makes three more points that may strike many as counterintuitive. First, reductions in some transfer payments haven’t hurt the living standards of most lowearners. The prime example is the welfare reform act of 1996, which reduced transfers to single mothers but induced many of them to find jobs that left them better off economically and, probably, psychologically. Second, Americans aren’t trapped in one segment of the income distribution. A Tax Journal analysis of individual income tax returns found that 58-percent of those in the lowest income quintile in 1996 had moved to a higher income segment by 2005. This comports with common experience. We move up and down the income scale in the course of a lifetime. Finally, the inflation adjustment used in the CBO analysis was the Consumer Price Index. But that tends to overstate inflation (as any indexes tends to do, since it measures the cost of a static market basket of goods and services). A study by Chicago economist Christian Broda found that prices for goods purchased by low-earners have been rapidly decreasing, while prices for goods of high-earners have increased. Kids’ school clothes may be cheaper at Walmart than they were years ago, while prices at Neiman Marcus keep increasing. So if the question is how to compensate for increasing income inequality, higher tax rates on highearners won’t do much — and could be counterproductive if they diminish economic growth. A better way is suggested by the supercommittee Republicans: Limit future increases in transfer payments to affluent households, and cap deductions for home mortgage interest and state and local taxes, which are hugely lucrative for highearners and worthless for low-earners who don’t pay income tax. These proposals won’t reduce income inequality altogether. Much of the increased inequality comes from the huge increases for those in the top 1-percent of earners. But we wouldn’t be better off if Steve Jobs had never existed. Keeping entitlements as they are and raising tax rates on highearners is a recipe for Europe-style stagnation. Ryan and the supercommittee Republicans point toward a better way.

LETTERS Air Force vet Ron Paul is only candidate who is friend of military To the editor, Recently, my son returned from his deployment. I am very proud of him and his fellow soldiers. Military families are shouldering the burden of this war. I do not believe in undeclared wars because they are usually questionable and never fought decisively. Advocating a war on a tactic (terrorism) with endless deployments is not supporting the troops or their families. Borrowing money from China and printing the rest to project our power does not make our country safer, but instead weaker. As a registered independent, I do not care about political parties but instead issues and character. Unfortunately, candidates are still advocating continued occupations, sacrificing the lives of great Americans while adding
to our $15-trillion debt. These same candidates never served a day in the military, but are doing their best to scare us into another war with Iran. There is one candidate for president who is a friend of the military; he believes only in declared wars and understands true national interests. Air Force Veteran Ron Paul continues to receive more donations from active duty military than all the other candidates combined. This is a very powerful statement these service members are making when they support a candidate that advocates ending 10 years of war. Please support the candidate that will reunite service members with their families and attack the real threat to our nation, the deficit. David DeVoy Sanbornton
It’s amazing people in Congress can even find their way to work To the editor, Just some more random thoughts while digesting my dinner. The right to work (for less) gang is at it again, trying to convince people that it will help to improve our economy; that fact is it will lower the standard of living, not only for union people, but for all of us. One only has to look at the “right to work (for less)” states, such as South Carolina to see the result. DO NOT BE FOOLED by the right to work (for less) people. Speaking of gangs, how about those “Gored by Al crowds , you know the global warming people. These blowhards must be thrilled at the November temperatures. I am sure we will be hearing from them soon. In towns all over N.H., including Gilford, budgets are being developed that
will affect tax bills in 2012. As usual, the education budgets continue to rise, with no end in sight. It is never enough, always more money. The Gilford superintendent controversy was caused by voters rebelling against an over-bloated central office, where full-time people do part time work. Time for the Budget Committee to take a SERIOUS LOOK at the Gilford education budget, not just a poor effort as it has in the past. And finally, those millionaires attempting to “cut the federal budget”: did anybody expect any thing different? It is amazing that they could find their way to work in the morning. Oh, they did decide what size table to use, and maybe what to put on the pizza . Just my thoughts. Bill Knightly Gilford
Why not sink derelict fiberglass boats to create artificial reefs? To the editor, In “Professional Boat Builder” (Dec/ Jan 2012, page 12) there is an article about a company that produces a machine that for a high cost, grinds up derelict fiberglass boats for disposal. Instead of grinding up derelict boats, and landfilling the grindings, why not take essentially all derelict boats out to relatively deep water sink them and at a relatively low cost, use them
ating much improved fishing — generally 10 times better fishing? For example, in the Gulf of Mexico the artificial reefs created by the underwater piping of the approximately 4,000 oil rigs in the Gulf off the coast of Louisiana increased the commercial fishing catch by about 1O times over what it had been before the oil wells had been installed. Rep. Robert Kingsbury

LETTERS Sorry you participated in a military action authorized by Congress?
Do misrepresentations of Obama do anything to improve our nation?
To the editor, Mr. Albushies, in your response to my letter you point out, not once but twice that, “Military action against Iraq was an illegal action in every respect.” Webster’s New World Dictionary, Second College Edition, states the meaning of illegal is: “prohibited by law; against the law; unlawful; illicit; not authorized or sanctioned.” I am a reasonable person known to change my opinion when confronted with facts. I wonder if you can give me a reference to any law which amended or repealed, Public Law No: 107-243, “Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002,” enacted October 16, 2002. Please do not respond by saying “everyone knows it to be illegal.” I am part of that often quoted body, “everyone” and I don’t know it to be illegal. Also, I would also be very interested in reading any report upon which you base your statement that the U.S. killed 600,000 civilians in Iraq. In every war, civilians are unfortunately killed, Iraq is no different. But 600,00 seems to be an unusually large number of casualties. You also say in your letter “the sol-
To the editor, As a senior citizen, and veteran of WWII, I try to look at the situation today with some perspective. However the vitriol that is being thrown around in politics is very disturbing. Lies and misrepresentations do not help the process of dealing with the very serious problems with which we all have to deal. Let me start out by saying that I think that Obama has done quite well in dealing with the terrible hand he was dealt. He bailed out the auto industry, which is critical to the employment in many states. We have been repaid for this bailout, with interest. He has pushed the stimulus package through Congress. This has kept many with jobs that they otherwise would have lost. He has avoided getting us involved with more wars, whether Libya, Egypt, or some place else. He has done this with behind the scenes pressure to achieve what arms alone cannot. We have a health care plan that will help many low and middle income among us stay healthier. A healthy population costs less to maintain, and is more productive. There are parts
diers are blameless!” You are 100-percent correct, they are blameless. But if we are to follow Mr. Orlich’s suggestion, how does one apologize to a soldier? Do you walk up to one and say earnestly,’’ I’m sorry you didn’t break that part of the oath you made when you voluntarily enlisted. “.... I will obey the President of the United States and the officers and noncommissioned officers appointed over me . . .” “Or, I’m sorry that you participated in a legal military action authorized by Congress.” In any case, before you apologize ask that soldier how he or she feels being part of the action in Iraq. Lastly, I am afraid I can’t accept as true ANY comments you have made to explain your way of thinking. Having made an UNTRUE statement that the Iraq military action was illegal, opens up ALL your statements to the question, “what other claims have you made that are also UNTRUE.” However, if your contentions are proven correct and TRUE, that the Iraq military action is illegal, I will be glad to make a public apology. Elliot Finn Meredith
Differences of opinion can be useful but not if info is just wrong To the editor, Let’s set the record straight on this guy who claims to be from Tilton, with no known address or phone, and has never gotten his “facts” right. James Ververka writes a lot of strange, insulting, degrading, impossible, and sometimes funny stuff, with LOTS of references to support himself. But, like the other excellent writers who have checked his references, I can’t find a shred of truth in any of them: All that I’ve checked (about 80-percent) are either just wild made up guesses, or the reference is something James put on that site. IF he ever told the truth, one would think that at least one of his references would be okay! The Laconia Daily Sun will publish
almost anything sent to them, and in the case of JV, it gets a lot of comments. But is it useful? Negative and false information can’t be useful. Differences of opinion can be useful, but that is not JV: okay, if you wade into his letters far enough you will find controversy on almost every subject, but usually self-contradictory. I’m not about to suggest that any letters be banned or ignored, but just maybe some sort of accuracy check can be made? With the time I wasted checking JV’s references, Ed would bust the Sun’s bank doing that checking. Is there a better way? Some reader must know. Jack Stephenson Gilford
Town of Moultonborough using three methods to control milfoil To the editor, For the past two years the Town of Moultonborough has worked aggressively to push back the invasion of non-native milfoil. It began with the creation of a Milfoil Committee and the town residents approving and funding The Milfoil Trust Fund. The committee worked with state departments, most closely with the Department of Environmental Services (DES), to create a five year plan directed at controlling milfoil. We also established two critical volunteer programs, Lake Hosts and Weed Watchers. In 2012 we will launch an awareness program aimed at everyone living on or using the lakes to pick up floating fragments of milfoil plants and dispose of them away from the water. Our five year milfoil plan, on record with DES, calls for three methods of “control”: herbicide treatment, hand pulling with the aid of a Diver Assisted Suction Harvester (DASH), and hand pulling without the use of DASH. The selection of which approach to use depends on several factors, with weed density being the main consideration. The more dense infestations are
treated with an herbicide. Less dense areas are “DASHed” and areas of low growth are hand pulled without using a DASH. Herbicide methods are overseen by the state. The two hand pulling methods are administered by the Milfoil Committee in consultation with the state’s DES. Volunteers are essential to the success of Lake Hosts, Weed Watchers and next year’s awareness program, “Milfoil Monitors.” Lake Hosts examine boats at various town launch sites to check for milfoil and explain to owners the importance of cleaning vegetation from their boats, trailers and gear. Weed Watchers periodically examine assigned areas of the lakes and report milfoil infestations. Finally, everyone using the lakes will be asked to “police” fragments of floating milfoil that facilitate the spread of the weed. Early next year the Milfoil Committee will begin a campaign to enlist volunteer support from the community to work on these initiatives. Finally, our Town Meeting is scheduled for March 17, 2012. Voting members of the town are encouraged to see next page
of this plan which bipartisan legislation can improve, and cut costs. Look at what the plan means for you, now, and in the near future. The administration’s Education Department is making remarkable progress on correcting the deficiencies of our national education. One of the most important areas that is being addressed is getting the youngest babies started on learning to read and count. Every large corporation in the country puts the need for educated employees at the top of their wish list. Without them we will become a second rate country. Obama has achieved much more than what I list. The personal attacks on him do nothing to further the work that both parties must do to get us going at full steam again. When you read, and hear these lies and misrepresentations you should stop and think about whether what you hear makes sense. Does it do anything to improve our nation? We need to look at what various politicians have achieved, rather than what they, and their surrogates, say. Kent Warner Center Harbor
Check it out, there was no 06814 zip code in Connecticut in 1977 To the editor, Regarding the letter titled “Change a 9 to a 0 & Hawaii zip code matches Danbury, Conn.” published on Nov. 29: You need to know than in 1977 there was no 06814 zip code in Connecticut.
Please let the readers know that James Veverka doesn’t know what he is talking about. William Lolli, MCSE Escondido, California

The Old North Church was moved in 1903 to its current location at Veterans Square. The building now houses the Evangelical Baptist Church but is topped by a different, shorter steeple. The original was toppled in the great hurricane of 1938. This photo, donated to the Laconia Historical & Museum Society by Katherine Gerlarneau, provides a better vantage point than any image the society previously had. (Courtesy photo)

Shoebox contained small treasure of historic Lakeport/Laconia photos By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Katherine Gerlarneau lived in Lakeport until she was 16, where she enjoyed an idyllic childhood with her parents, a sister and a brother. Now, after the years became decades and the decades added up, Gerlarneau finds herself the sole remaining member of her immediate family. In sorting through the possessions her sister left behind, Gerlarneau came across a small collections of photographs that she felt no personal connection to, yet which illustrate a city different from the one today. The photographs also capture a few of the events that, though they happened as long as a century ago, still have bearing on the modern city scape. Gerlarneau offered the photographs to The Daily Sun. With her consent, MARDI GRAS from page one licensing agreement with the state of N.H. Penalties could range from reprimands and administrative fines to the revocation of the liquor license. The administrative action occurred as the result of a criminal investigation into allegations of street level drug sales by employees of and/or customers with ties to the club. The issues before the Liquor Commission are administrative and not criminal. Six of the eight notices say that some time in July of 2011 — specific dates are not provided — a customer was served to the point of intoxication; that employees were consuming alcoholic beverages while working; that from preceding page support the 2012 warrant article to continue funding the Milfoil Trust. This will allow us to carry on our efforts against this very invasive weed. Thank you for your continued support. Paul Daisy, Member, Moultonborough Milfoil Committee
the images will be donated to the Laconia Historical and Museum Society, which will archive them and add them electronically to the online, searchable database. Gerlarneau was one of three children born to Clayton and Grace Ford, who lived on Hill Street. Her father was a Laconia native who returned home after being wounded in World War II and started a family, which he supported by working at some of the many manufacturing facilities in Lakeport and Laconia. “It was quiet and there was always kids to hang out together,” Gerlarneau said, recalling her childhood in Laconia. She and her friends would hang out at the five and dime store or the Lakeport Drug Store. “I remember walking from Lakeport all the way to Leavitt Park to go swimming,” she said.
The five and dime store and the drug store are captured in the photograph collection, as are a few more widelyknown landmarks. There’s a photo of the Gale Memorial Library, sitting isolate on a treeless plot. The train station across the street is also pictured, complete with a train in the background and in the foreground, streetcar tracks in the freshly-fallen snow. One picture, taken from the front steps of her family’s Hill Street home during the winter of 1953-1954, shows a man operating a horse-drawn sidewalk plow. There are also pictures of some of the city’s more notorious fires. However, the images most intriguing to Laconia Historical & Museum Society curator Lindsay Burke are a trio that show the moving of the Old North (Congregational) Church at Veterans Square. As described in Warren D.
Huse’s “Laconia” book, the church was originally built in 1836 at the corner of Church and North Main Streets. In 1903, the structure was moved a short distance to occupy a location across Veterans Square from the train depot. It is now the Evangelical Baptist Church. Photographs in Gerlarneau’s collection show the structure being moved down the street. “I know we have views of these events, (but) we don’t have these views,” said Burke. Brenda Polidoro, executive director of the Historical and Museum Society, expressed her gratitude at Gerlarneau’s gift of the photographs, which will add unique vantage points and details of some of the city’s most significant events. “We want people to remember the historical society when they’re going through their family belongings,” she said.
employees were taking their drinks in unapproved areas; that the bartender gave out free drinks; that the club allowed intoxicated patrons to loiter of the property; and that the club didn’t serve any diversified menu of food. In addition, enforcement bureau inspectors said that on October 18 they noticed two funnels that indicated to them that the business was refilling liquor bottles and that the business was being used for “purposes contrary to the law”. The charges that the business was allegedly being used for purposes contrary to the law likely stems from the raid by Gilford Police and two SWAT Teams that resulted in seven arrests for drugs sales. Three dancers were arrested at the club that night while four others, including two men, were arrested on various drug sales charges in their respective communities of Holderness, Franklin and Tilton. A supplemental narrative supplied by Enforcment Bureau Inspector Kirk Hart says members of the N.H. Attorney Generals Drug Task Force had been investigating allegations of
“street-level” drug sales within the establishment. He said the task force originally had gotten information in June of 2011 that members of “outlaw motorcycle gangs” went inside the establishment. Hart said the task force initially went to the Mardi Gras to “gauge the culture of the licensee as it related to the allegations having been made.” “In short order,” Hart continued, “investigators began to sense there was a strong likelihood there was, in fact, street-level drug distribution being conducted in or about the liquor licensee” and “further more, culpability on the part of management was also probable.” Undercover narcotics officers, according to Hart’s account, were allegedly told by the dancers that “they typically have to be escorted by security personnel should they go to their vehicles for any reason.” “However, some of them are excused from that requirement given the staff’s knowledge of them conducting illicit drug transactions while they are working....,” Hart wrote.
As to why the club allegedly broke the rules of Gilford’s live entertainment regulations, Hart indicated members of the task force allegedly documented dancers would consume alcohol and or “shots” both “with and independent of undercover officers.” He said undercover reports indicate that while all of the dancers wore G-strings, on occasion they would expose their genitals to undercover officers and did not always wear “pasties” over the tips of their breasts, as is required by Gilford ordinances. He said the ordinance requires that there be no contact with dancers and undercover officer said this was “routinely not adhered to both while on stage accepting gratuities from patrons or during private dances in the side stage seating areas.” Hart also said the ordinance prohibits dancers from taking tips from patrons with any parts of their anatomy except their hands and garter belts and this also was allegedly “not routinely” obeyed. In addition, a second supplement see next page
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 30, 2011 — Page 9
COACH from page 2 walked onto the court that bears his name on Tuesday night for the game against Eastern Michigan. Fine’s seat on the bench was not left vacant Tuesday as it had been for the last home game 10 days ago. After initially saying Fine’s first two accusers were lying to make money in the wake of the Penn State University sexual abuse scandal, Boeheim backed off those comments in a statement Sunday. “What is most important is that this matter be fully investigated and that anyone with information be supported to come forward so that the truth can be found,” Boeheim said after the firing of Fine, who has denied the allegations. “I deeply regret any statements I made that might have inhibited that from occurring or been insensitive to victims of abuse.” Bobby Davis first contacted Syracuse police in 2002 about Fine, but there was no investigation because the statute of limitations had passed. Kevin Quinn, a spokesman for the university, said police did not inform the university of Davis’ allegations then. On Tuesday, the Syracuse police chief said Dennis DuVal, a former SU basketball player who was police chief in 2002, knew of the allegations against Fine. Police Chief Frank Fowler said DuVal, who played for the Orange from 1972-74, was aware of Davis’ accusations in 2002 that Fine sexually abused him. Fine, who has been fired, denies the allegations. Because Davis said the abuse stopped 12 years earlier, Syracuse Det. Doug Fox told him the statute of limitations had passed, meaning an arrest was not possible. Fox advised his supervisor in the abused persons
unit but didn’t file a formal report. The detective is still with the department but not in the same unit. A phone message left with DuVal was not immediately returned. On Nov. 17, Davis’ allegations resurfaced. Davis, now 39, told ESPN that Fine molested him beginning in 1984 and that the sexual contact continued until he was around 27. A ball boy for six years, Davis said the abuse occurred at Fine’s home, at Syracuse basketball facilities and on team road trips, including the 1987 Final Four. Davis’ stepbrother, Mike Lang, 45, who also was a ball boy, also told ESPN that Fine began molesting him while he was in fifth or sixth grade. A third man, Zach Tomaselli, who faces sexual assault charges in Maine involving a 14-year-old boy, said Sunday he told police last week that Fine molested him in 2002 in a Pittsburgh hotel room. Also on Sunday, ESPN played an audiotape, obtained and recorded by Davis, of an October 2002 telephone conversation between him and Fine’s wife, Laurie. ESPN said it hired a voice recognition expert to verify the voice on the tape and the network said it was determined to be that of Laurie Fine. During the call to the woman, Davis repeatedly asks her what she knew about the alleged molestation and she says she knew “everything that went on.” “My heart goes out to the families. I have no comment about the Fine situation or the Boeheim situation,” former Syracuse star Carmelo Anthony said. “That’s a sensitive situation, a sensitive topic right now that I don’t even want to go into.” Cantor stressed the university is working with authorities.
from preceding page narrative for investigator Gregory Nye said he was tasked the night of the raid to search the third floor of the building where he found miscellaneous boxes of paperwork. He noted that he saw a video surveillance camera camera that was connected to a wire that ran downstairs but that he didn’t disconnect it. Nye said the kitchen appeared “nor organized or cared for” and that there appeared to be very little food stock. Much of the food was frozen “quickappetizer” food and at least one of the freezers appeared to him to be in disrepair. He also said the Fryolater grease appeared unchanged and he said he found personal clothing near preparation areas.
The serving of food is required of New Hampshire establishments that sell liquor. Nye’s report was dated Nov. 3. Gilford Code Inspection Officer David Andrade was also on the October 19 raid, although a local judge ruled last week that there was no administrative component to the search warrant he authorized. Andrade’s report was submitted to Hart on Oct. 24 and itemized there were no thermometers in some of the coolers, that at least one appeared inoperable, and that there were extension cords and splice power cords in the bar area. He also indicated the sinks in the kitchen were unused and there was no evidence that the dishwasher was being used.

WEIRS from page one 2001 for $1.2-million. The second property is 0.52 acres of vacant land on Interlaken Avenue, once a municipal right-ofway along the northeast bank of the Weirs Channel that was ceded to Bertholet in 2004. At the time, he planned to develop a hotel on the site, but ultimately abandoned the project. In 2009, the city assessed the shopping mall at $2,872,000, with a tax bill of $51,811, and the vacant land at $44,200, with a tax bill of $797. In February, 2010 Bertholet filed for an abatement, claiming the combined value of the two properties should be $1,202,500. The Assessing Department reduced its assessment of the shopping mall by $81,000 to $2,791,000, resulting in a tax bill of $50,360, without adjusting its assessment of the vacant land. In court documents filed last year in support of his request, Bertholet explained that when he purchased the shopping mall “the property was distressed,” with more than 8,000 square feet, or 36-percent of the rental space, vacant. Although the space was let for a spell, between 2006 and 2008 the annual net income from the property plummeted by nearly half, from $193,464 to $90,410. The arcade and miniature golf business, Bertholet described as “struggling.” He said that owners of motels, hotels and cottages reported that rentals
had declined between 20-percent and 30-percent in the past several years. He noted that with the conversion of motels and cottages to condominium ownership the regular weekly turnover of visitors to The Weirs dwindled while homeowners’ families may visit the attractions “once or twice a season (if at all).” Bertholet said that the restaurant in Alpenrose closed for want of patrons and Dunkin Donuts, which is open six or seven months, “threatened to leave unless their rental rate was reduced.” Rents, he said, have declined and demand remains slack. The arcade has been offered for lease at $6 persquare-foot, excluding all other expenses, for four years with no takers. The space left by the restaurant is offered at $8 per-square-foot with six months free if leased for the winter. Higher rents would “cause increased vacancy.” Meanwhile, Bertholet told the court that he abandoned plans to develop the vacant parcel upon discovering that Native American artifacts are likely to remain on the site, making excavation “cost prohibitive.” Wetlands on the property also limit its development potential. Bertholet’s analysis led him to calculate the market value of the properties at $1,202,500. As of April 1, 2011, the city assessed the shopping mall at $1,097,600 and the vacant land at $29,900.
TAGS from page one based and the costs of oil have skyrocketed. He said it was in late July when he decided to look at a few alternatives and the one he thought made the most sense was tags. He took the idea to Selectmen on August 4. Town Administrator Bob Veloski said the August 4 meeting was a short one called only to sign the manifest so selectmen asked Thayer to bring his suggestion to the next regular scheduled Selectman’s meeting on August 10. He said selectmen listened to Thayer on that date and asked for more financial information. After getting it, the board voted unanimously on September 14 to buy tags as the supply of blue garbage bags dwindled. He said the topic was listed on the meeting agenda as a public works update and not specifically on the agenda as a tag for bag switch. He said because the cost of the tags remained the same as the bags, the administration and selectmen
didn’t hold a public hearing. Thayer said signs were posted at the dump informing residents of the change and his assistant went to all of the retail outfits that sold the bags and all were on-board with the exception of Market Basket, which he said chose to opt out of helping with the pay-as-you-throw program entirely. “That neither bags nor tags were available at Market Basket may have contributed to the confusion,” Thayer said, noting many town residents shop there. Thayer also said transfer station employees began telling patrons about the change between the months of September and November when the final supplies of blue bags was exhausted. He said people who still have blue bags can use them.

We’re going to move forward. We’re going to tour, play the music and miss him,” brother Jermaine Jackson said. After sentencing, Murray mouthed the words “I love you” to his mother and girlfriend in the courtroom. Murray’s mother, Milta Rush, sat alone on a
bench in the courthouse hallway. “My son is not what they charged him to be,” she said quietly. “He was a gentle child from the time he was small.” Of her son’s future, she said, “God is in charge.” Murray, 58, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter after a six-week trial that presented the most detailed account yet of Jackson’s final hours, a story of the performer’s anguish over being unable see next page

Hazing said to have persisted around Florida college band despite suspensions & investigations MIAMI (AP) — Two decades ago, the now-ousted director of the Florida A&M band warned in a letter about the dangers of hazing among the famed “Marching 100” ensemble, saying “it would be very difficult for the university and the band should someone become killed or hurt.” In the following years, however, hazing seemed to become a bigger — if not more public — problem. Police investigated several serious cases and students were arrested. Anti-hazing workshops were held. Dozens of band members were suspended. University officials and the marching band community were keenly aware of the persistent hazing, yet it continued and is believed to have played a role in the death this month of a 26-year-old drum major Robert Champion. Champion’s death started a blame game of sorts, with the historically black college in Tallahassee firing its band director, Julian White, accusing him of “misconduct and/or incompetence.” In turn, White released more than 150 pages of documents showing that he warned the university for years about what was going on. The chair of the Board of Governors, which oversees Florida’s public universities, wrote a letter to FAMU trustees Tuesday saying they would investigate whether the university administration took appropriate action to address White’s concerns. A former band member told The Associated Press on Tuesday that White looked for ways to eradicate a culture of hazing that existed in many instrument sections of the band. White invited band members to anonymously report hazing and even had police come along on some away games, former drum major Timothy Barber told AP. In 2001, when trumpeter Marcus Parker was paddled so severely that he ended up hospitalized with kidney damage, White had police escort the trumpet section off the field to be interrogated to show he would not tolerate hazing, Barber said. from preceding page to sleep. Pastor was relentless in his bashing of Murray, saying the physician lied repeatedly and abandoned Jackson when he was at his most vulnerable — under the anesthesia that Murray administered in an unorthodox effort to induce sleep. “It should be made very clear that experimental medicine is not going to be tolerated, and Mr. Jackson was an experiment,” he said.
About a dozen people pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and received probation in that case, though it’s not clear what actions, if any, the university took to punish them. After the arrests, White approached Barber for help in getting rid of hazing. One area he focused on: A white wall in the band’s practice field where nicknames for the instrument sections were prominently displayed. Becoming a member of these groups — the clarinets were known as “The Clones” and the tubas were the “White Whales” — meant becoming part of a tradition and a band that has played Super Bowls, the Grammys and presidential inaugurations. But some sections had their own violent initiation rituals. White bought buckets of white paint and asked Barber to cover up the section nicknames on the wall. “Tim, we have to find a way to eradicate these subsections of the band,” Barber said White told him. “Cover the names so they see this is not something supported by the band staff.” While White documented his efforts to stop the hazing, it’s possible he could’ve done more on the front lines, according to Richard Sigal, a retired sociology professor at County College of Morris in Randolph, N.J., who has studied hazing. “Maybe he just had a problem that was beyond his ability to control it,” Sigal said. But in general, “If the person at the top issued a zero tolerance policy for hazing and oversaw what the people under him were doing, then there was no hazing.” The details of Champion’s case death are unclear. Authorities, the school and an attorney for his family said hazing played a role, but no one has been willing to shed any more light on what actually happened Nov. 19 after the football team played its rival Bethune-Cookman. Police have said only that Champion started vomiting and complained he couldn’t breathe before he collapsed on a band bus outside their hotel in Orlando. Propofol is supposed to be used in hospital settings and has never been approved for sleep treatments, yet Murray acknowledged giving it to Jackson then leaving the room on the day the singer died. As for defense arguments that Jackson tempted his own fate when he demanded propofol, Pastor said, “Dr. Murray could have walked away and said no as countless others did. But Dr. Murray was intrigued with the prospect of this money-for-madness medicine.” WINNISQUAM REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

A few bar stool shifts still available for December 8 ‘Pub Mania’ to benefit the WLNH Childrens Auction Beginning Thursday, Dec. 8, Patrick’s Pub and Eatery in Gilford will host its third “Pub Mania,” a fundraising event to benefit the annual WLNH Children’s Auction. The 24-hour event has raised $108,000 in its first two years and is set to add to that figure this year, with 29 teams, including 696 people, competing. Each team is responsible for keeping their designated bar stool occupied for a 24-hour period, during which a full schedule of live music, talent contests and other events are planned to keep participants occupied and entertained. Allan Beetle, co-owner of Patrick’s, said there are still a few spots available on teams and interested parties should visit the “Giving Back” page on www. patrickspub.com for more information. Pictured here, at a team captain’s meeting on Monday night, are captains from last year’s exemplary teams, left to right, Lisa Fowler from team “Merry Stools,” Judi Taggart from “Santa, Can You Hear Me?,” Steve Smith from “Steve Smith and Friends” and Rich Ellis from “Cork Boards.” (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)
CRAIGSLIST from page 3 said whether that body is linked to the scheme but say it’s suspected the body is that of a man named Ralph Geiger. Officials did not explain how they arrived at the conclusion or give any other details about the man. The complaint against the boy says he participated in the alleged crimes with Richard Beasley, 52, of Akron, a man said to have acted as his mentor. He was awaiting trial on prostitution and drug charges when authorities took him into custody this month, and police have said a halfway house he ran in Akron was a front for prostitution. Rhonda Kotnik, an attorney for Beasley on the drug and prostitution charges, said Tuesday that she’s still gathering information, with hearings
scheduled later this week. She said she isn’t representing Beasley in anything involving the Craigslist case and points out he hasn’t been charged in that. She said she assumes the juvenile has been cooperating with police, which is common in such cases. Noble County Judge John Nau has issued a gag order prohibiting lawyers from discussing the case, a move he defended Tuesday, saying he’s trying to ensure a fair trial in a sparsely populated county. “It may not even be tried here, but I’m not sure it won’t, so I prepare for the possibility that it might,” he said. The Associated Press generally does not identify juvenile suspects and is not naming the teenager or his mother.
AMERICAN from page 2 costly labor contracts, reduce debt, and start making money again. They also grew through mergers. American — the nation’s third-largest airline and proud of an 80-year history that reaches back to the dawn of passenger travel — was stuck with higher costs that meant it lost money when matching competitors’ lower fares. In announcing the bankruptcy filing, AMR said that Gerard Arpey, 53, a veteran of the company for almost three decades and CEO since 2003, had retired and was replaced by Horton, 50, the company president. Horton said the board of directors unanimously decided on Monday night to file for bankruptcy. In a filing with federal bankruptcy court in New York on Tuesday, AMR said it had $29.6 billion in debt and $24.7 billion in assets. With reductions to the flight schedule, Horton said there would probably be corresponding job cuts. American has about 78,000 employees and serves
AMR’s move could also trigger more consolidation in the airline industry. Some analysts believe American is likely to merge with US Airways to move closer to United Continental Holdings Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc. in size. Such a merger would leave five large U.S. airlines compared with nine in 2008. US Airways declined to comment. American will delay the spinoff of its regional airline, American Eagle, which was expected early next year. AMR, however, wants to push ahead with plans to order 460 new jets from Boeing and Airbus and take delivery of more than 50 others already ordered. New planes would save American money on fuel and maintenance, but the orders will be subject to approval by the bankruptcy court. Analysts said all airlines will benefit if American reduces flights — especially if the cutbacks are more severe than American’s new CEO is letting on. They said the chief winners were likely to be United and Delta, which compete for the same business travelers and have

Christmas 2011 -- Birth of a New Tradition As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods -- merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes there is! It’s time to think outside the box, people. Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper? Everyone -- yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber? Gym membership? It’s appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement. Who wouldn’t appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates. Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plonking down the Benjamines on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course. There are a bazillion owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn’t the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks this isn’t about big National chains -- this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open. How many people couldn’t use an oil
change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy? Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services of a local cleaning lady for a day. My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy who is struggling to get his repair business up and running. OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes. Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at your hometown theatre. Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands. Honestly, people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of light, about fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a nice BIG tip. You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so that China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about caring about US, encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn’t imagine. THIS is the new American Christmas tradition. This is a revolution of caring about each other, and isn’t that what Christmas is about?
Festival of Trees Silent Auction Gala will be held Thursday night at the Waukewan Golf Club MEREDITH — The Altrusa Club of Meredith presents the Lakes Region’s spectacular holiday season opener, the 6th Annual Festival of Trees Silent Auction Gala, Thursday, December 1st, 5:30-8 p.m. at the Waukewan Golf Club, Waukewan Rd., Center Harbor. Pat Kelly, a Lakes Region favorite, will be on hand as master of ceremonies.

M. Heaths and Hannaford’s Supermarkets, Sarah Goren and Tanaya Call of The Twin Muffin Baking Co., and Louis Gaynor for their generous donations. The silent auction offers something for everyone and items to fit every budget. Winners can enjoy a seven night stay for four people in an Italian Tuscan villa in the ancient hill town of Manciano, or six days and six nights lodging as part of a wildlife photo safari at one of three game lodges situated in the heart of South Africa’s Zululand conservation region. Other prizes offer the opportunity to experience the excitement of the Lakes Region first hand with a 2012 Inner Circle membership at Meadowbrook, a boat ride for six to Stonedam Island for a private pirate treasure hunt. There’s an overflowing basket of gardening goodies from Petal Pushers, two one day passes to Ragged Mtn. Ski Resort, two 18 hole golf passes with golf cart to play at Canterbury Woods Country Club as well as guest passes to area attractions, locally made specialty items and dining certificates at area restaurants. Silent Auction tickets are available at the Greater

Craft fair at Gilford Middle & High Schools Dec. 3 GILFORD — When Holiday music is being heard in the stores, everyone should know that it is time for the Annual Craft Fair at both the Gilford Middle and High School.

Over 150 crafters from all over New England, along with school sponsored clubs and organizations from both the middle and high school will be selling their wares.

By Holiday Mathis must remember to follow up on the important details. Of course, the best way is to write them down. You might lose the paper you wrote them on, but you’ll remember the motion of writing and what you wrote. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you have ever wanted to reach out to someone you hardly knew but felt a strong connection to, this is the right time. You have powerful tools at your fingertips, and you’ll use them well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You once tried to avoid smooth talkers, and now you’ll be one. What’s wrong with knowing what you have and selling it to the highest bidder? As long as you strongly believe in the product, your pitch will succeed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be more proud of yourself for completing a hard job than you’ll be for finishing an easy one. That’s why you’re likely to choose tasks that challenge your ability. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Deep meditation and spiritual practice will inspire the imagination. So will comic books. Your best bet is a blend of “high” and “low.” And who is to say which is which? TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 30). You plan well, though your year is dotted by exhilarating and unpredictable circumstances. Next month, something shiny and new replaces what was broken or worn. Your desire for personal accomplishment will be very strong, and you’ll get the gold in February. Spring brings heightened idealism and spirituality. Aries and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 14, 31, 24 and 28.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are more or less used to making people fall in love with you, and you will do this yet again. It’s not a conscious effort, to be sure. In fact, it’s not an effort at all. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re willing to face the truth about a situation, but you’re so close to the scene that you probably won’t be able to see it until another person points it out. It takes an outsider to bring perspective. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Change means more than wishing a situation were different. Then again, probably nothing will change -- and nothing ever has -- without someone first wishing it would. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll share less than perfect parts of yourself to create rapport. “People who don’t have embarrassing stories are untrustworthy. Or at the very least, they aren’t telling the truth.” -- Suzanne Guillette LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have many interests, and it will be quite easy to follow them around all over the Internet, in the library or through the city -and perhaps all three. Sooner or later, you have to get down to work, though it will probably be “later.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you feel like you’ve been there and done it all. But you haven’t. So shake off the “jaded” dust, and get willing to see life anew. It just may glitter for you today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Who celebrates you? Someone does. And if no one comes to mind right now, it’s a sign that maybe you should start the trend by celebrating yourself. After all, you’ve done a lot for people lately. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Nov. 30, the 334th day of 2011. There are 31 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 30, 1835, Samuel Langhorne Clemens — better known as Mark Twain — was born in Florida, Mo. On this date: In 1782, the United States and Britain signed preliminary peace articles in Paris, ending the Revolutionary War. In 1803, Spain completed the process of ceding Louisiana to France, which had sold it to the United States. In 1874, British statesman Sir Winston Churchill was born at Blenheim Palace. In 1900, Irish writer Oscar Wilde died in Paris at age 46. In 1936, London’s famed Crystal Palace, constructed for the Great Exhibition of 1851, was destroyed in a fire. In 1960, the last DeSoto was built by Chrysler, which had decided to retire the brand after 32 years. In 1962, U Thant of Burma, who had been acting secretary-general of the United Nations following the death of Dag Hammarskjold the year before, was elected to a four-year term. In 1966, the former British colony of Barbados became independent. In 1981, the United States and the Soviet Union opened negotiations in Geneva aimed at reducing nuclear weapons in Europe. One year ago: Pentagon leaders called for scrapping the 17-year-old “don’t ask, don’t tell” ban after releasing a survey about the prospect of openly gay troops. The Obama administration announced that all 197 airlines that fly to the U.S. had begun collecting names, genders and birth dates of passengers so the government could check them against terror watch lists before they boarded flights. Today’s Birthdays: Historian Jacques Barzun is 104. Actor Efrem Zimbalist Jr. is 93. Actor Robert Guillaume is 84. TV personality and producer Dick Clark is 82. Radio talk show host G. Gordon Liddy is 81. Country singer-recording executive Jimmy Bowen is 74. Movie director Ridley Scott is 74. Movie writer-director Terrence Malick is 68.

Brown Bag Seminar on benefits of blogging next Wednesday in Plymouth PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth Regional Chamber of Commerce will present its next Brown Bag Luncheon Seminar on Wednesday, December 7, from noon to 1 p.m. at Pease Public Library. As part two of a Social Media Series of educational seminars presented by Steve Dade, founder and owner of Dade Sales and Marketing Consultation, “Benefits of Blogging” will be the topic of this month’s presentation. “Blogging is a great business tool that shows people your expertise in your line of work,” said Dade. “Whether you provide a product, service or are a non-profit, you have something unique to offer your audience. Delivering relevant information to your followers through a blog is a quick and easy way to impart your knowledge and abilities within your
industry and, more importantly, promote what sets you apart from your competitors.” He says that Facebook isn’t enough of a marketing tool and that there can be real gains by incorporating blogging into your marketing mix. Dade, owner of Dade Sales and Marketing Consultation, is an expert in social media marketing and sales consultation. After service to his country in the Army, and while attending Plymouth State University, he realized the power of social media through a popular veterans’ blog and followed his passion to create a business to help others. There is no charge for this event, but seating is limited. Reserve a spot today by calling the Plymouth Regional Chamber at 536-1001 or emailing info@plymouthnh.org.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 30, 2011— Page 25
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: We are the grandparents of a beautiful 4-yearold girl. We have been watching her for the past three months because her parents had their water service shut off due to lack of payment. A month ago, they had their gas and electricity shut off, as well. They are living off of the welfare system with no other means of support. In the past, my wife and I have paid a lot of money to keep their utilities on, but this time we took a stand and decided not to. Instead, we opted to assist in taking care of their daughter until they can fix this situation, knowing it will probably happen again. We want our granddaughter to have a shot at normalcy, and we feel she will never get that if we return her to her parents. Unfortunately, my wife and I lack both the finances to raise a child and the vitality necessary to keep up with her. We don’t know what to do. If we decide to seek custody, how do we go about it? Is there financial aid available for people in our situation? We want to do the right thing for our granddaughter. -- Geezer with a Cause in Los Angeles Dear Los Angeles: Instead of seeking custody, you might want to apply for legal guardianship of your granddaughter or become her foster parents. Would the parents voluntarily allow this? That would be the easiest way to do it. Discuss your options with an attorney who specializes in family law. You can get referrals for low-cost legal assistance through LawHelp California (lawhelpca.org). Dear Annie: We work in an office where the employees (mostly the female employees) bring treats -- candy or homemade goodies -- on a regular basis. This always has been a nice gesture and much appreciated. The problem is a new employee who doesn’t seem to understand the concept of taking your share and no more. “Vern” is the first one at your desk if he notices candy. Then he keeps
coming back over and over again, taking large quantities on each trip. Those treats are for everyone. Vern is really a nice man in so many ways, but we are about ready to discontinue bringing treats to the office because this is so frustrating. One of the employees made special homemade treats for her boss on his birthday, and Vern stood at her desk to get his share before anyone else, and then returned for a second helping before others had their first. No one wants to hurt Vern’s feelings, and he doesn’t seem to get the hint when comments are made to others in his presence. Do you have any suggestions about how to handle this? We hate to see a nice tradition ruined because the goodies can no longer be shared with everyone. -- Didn’t Take This Guy To Raise Dear Didn’t: Someone needs to speak up. If Vern returns for seconds before others have had a turn, say, “A lot of folks haven’t had any treats yet, Vern, so no second helpings until everyone has had one.” If he takes six cupcakes, stop him, saying, “Sorry, Vern, only one per customer.” Be nice, firm and consistent. We don’t think it will take much to retrain the guy, so please give him a chance before you eliminate something that all of you obviously enjoy a great deal. Dear Annie: “Showerless in Sheboygan” said her retired military husband refused to shower or get a haircut. You suggested he might be depressed. My husband is a psychologist with the Veterans Administration. V.A. services are available in most states for mental health issues or changes in health status. Please pass this along. -- V.A. Supporter in Louisville, Ky. Dear Louisville: Thank you for reminding those readers who have served in the military that the V.A. (va.gov) can provide psychological as well as medical counsel.
