ESCONDIDO, Calif. (AP) — In the end, there were no big explosions. No flames leaping from house to house. Just residents, watching anxiously as a house packed with explosives in their neighborhood went up in flames.

All of it, thankfully, without a hitch. “I feel better,” said Pat MacQueen, 76, standing on a porch Thursday as reddishorange flames rose into the sky about a block away.

The blaze devoured the ranch-style house filled with so much homemade explosive material that authorities said they had no choice but to burn it to the ground. It popped and crackled. At one point, a deep boom from the fire echoed through the neighborhood.

“Oh, that’s scary,” said MacQueen, who moved to the San Diego suburb about 11 years ago.

While the immediate safety threat had passed, MacQueen and other residents were still haunted by the man who rented the house — George Jakubec.

How did he amass so much explosive material and what did he plan to do with it?

Investigators are still trying to find those answers as Jakubec sits in jail on bomb-making and bank robbery charges.

Their immediate concern, however, disintegrated in less than an hour.

The plan was to stoke a fire so hot — at least 1,800 degrees — that it would neutralize the volatile chemicals before they could cause major explosions.

Crews built a 16-foot firewall and covered it with fire resistant gel to protect the closest home at least a dozen feet away.

Firefighters and ambulances were on hand, just in case.

White House predicts tax cut deal with Republicans will pass, despite Thursday’s protest vote by House Democrats WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House and key lawmakers cleared the way Thursday night for swift Senate action to avert a Jan. 1 spike in income taxes for nearly all Americans, agreeing to extend breaks for ethanol and other forms of alternative energy as part of the deal.

Tax provisions aimed at increasing production of hybrid automobiles, biodiesel fuel, energy-efficient homes, coal and energy-efficient household appliances would be extended through the end of 2011 under the bill.

Debate on the expanded measure began almost immediately. While there is no precise timetable for passage, a test vote was set for Monday afternoon that appears likely to demonstrate overwhelmingly support for the legislation, which supporters say would help accelerate a sluggish recovery from recession.

The events unfolded as the White House predicted that the agreement between President Barack Obama and top Republicans would clear by year’s end — even though House Democrats voted Thursday not to allow it to reach the floor without changes to scale back tax relief for the rich.

“If it’s take it or leave it, we’ll leave it,” said Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, after a closed-door meeting in which rank-and-file Democrats chanted, “Just say no.”

“The deal will get passed,” said presidential press secretary Robert Gibbs. There were no predictions to the contrary among senior Democrats on either side of the Capitol.

As announced by Obama on Monday, the deal would extend tax breaks at all income levels that are due to expire on Jan. 1, renew a program of jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed that is due to lapse

within days and implement a one-year cut in Social Security taxes.

At the insistence of Republicans, it also includes a more generous estate tax provision.

That, in turn, infuriated Democrats already unhappy with Obama for agreeing to extend personal tax cuts at incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.

The two-year cost of the plan, estimated at about $850 billion, would further swell record federal deficits.

Despite significant criticism from fellow Democrats, Obama has said the sweeping measure is necessary to help the struggling economy recover from the worst recession in decades. With unemployment at 9.8 percent, a top White House official warned Democratic critics Tuesday they risk sending the economy back into recession if they block the measure.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans blocked a major year-end push by Democrats to lift the military’s ban on openly gay troops on Thursday, dealing a huge blow to gay rights groups’ hopes for repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” any time soon. President Barack Obama instantly appealed to lawmakers to make another, last-ditch try before going home for the year.

The day’s dramatic events left the fate of the issue in limbo, with lawmakers eager to adjourn and still facing numerous other

contentious issues.

The Senate’s 57-40 vote fell three short of the 60 needed to overcome procedural hurdles to lift the 17-year-old ban. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine was the lone Republican voting to advance the bill, and Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia was the only Democrat to vote against it.

The rejection was a defeat for Obama, who campaigned promising to overturn the law and later called it one of his top legislative priorities for the year. But in

recent weeks the White House has done little to push the legislation, focusing its influence instead on tax cuts and a nuclear arms treaty with Russia.

Obama wasn’t giving up. He said the ban “weakens our national security, diminishes our military readiness and violates fundamental American principles of fairness, integrity and equality.” And he said repeal is supported by the military and the American people.

GOP looking out for blue states, Dems for red ones The political lineup for and against the controversial tax deal evokes great bemusement. Once again, Republicans representing the poorer conservative states are pounding the table for the lower taxes that benefit the richer, liberal states. Once again, Democrats representing parts of the country where a $250,000 household income is cushy but not princely are enraged that families making such amounts may have their Bush-era tax cuts extended.

Now, there’s a lot wrong with the deal President Obama made with Republican lawmakers. Cutting payroll taxes (endorsed by some liberals oddly enough) is a frontal assault on the integrity of Social Security and Medicare. Extending Bush-era tax cuts for the rich adds to deficits while doing little to help the weak economy.

The problem comes in determining who is rich. My inbox groans with complaints from readers that they make $250,000 and feel in no way rich. Two responses to that. One is a reminder that the U.S. median income for a married-couple household is about $73,000. For households headed by an unmarried woman, the median is only $30,000.

And for those headed by an unmarried male, it’s $44,000. You making three or more times the median income should hold your tears.

But if you live in one of the expensive Blue States, you may have some reason to feel blue. The federal tax code treats a $250,000 income in San Francisco, where houses sell for a median price of $628,000, the same as a $250,000 income in Houston, where the median is $79,000.

If you’re looking to buy in a fancy neighborhood, the current average listing price in Frisco’s Russian Hill (never mind Pacific Heights) is $1,400,000. In Houston’s Great Uptown neighborhood, it’s $635,000.

Meanwhile, the average listing price in Omaha’s most expensive area, Bent Creek, is $405,000.

The point is, a $250,000 income translates into entirely different lifestyles depending on where you live. That’s also why the idea by New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and

other Democrats to draw the income line at $1,000,000 was both fairer and made more political sense. It would have been hard to argue against letting taxes rise on those making 7-figures, no matter where they are. But it would have also separated the truly rich from the teacher-lawyer combos living where $250,000 makes one merely upper middle class.

Which brings us to the agreement on estate taxes. Many liberals were furious that Obama went along with the Republican proposal to tax estates at 35-percent after a $5 million exemption. The Democratic leadership preferred a $3.5 million exemption with a top rate of 45-percent on the rest. The Republicans were actually doing the Blue States a favor.

A modest house in much of Connecticut’s Fairfield County can easily cost $1-million. If the householders are a professional couple that has also saved over the years, their family wealth could surpass $3.5-million without their having lived like tycoons. And remember that they’ve been paying steeper taxes over the years by virtue of their generally higher Blue State incomes.

How interesting that Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln, a Democrat who lost her bid for re-election, was hotly supportive of the Republican’s more generous estate-tax proposal.

Her state’s median income, about $47,000, is the lowest after Mississippi’s. By contrast, the median income in New Jersey is $83,000.

Again, let’s be clear. The rich and everyone else will have to pay more taxes to stop spiraling deficits and rebuild America. Spending cuts can’t do it alone. But Blue State liberals should be mindful that they and their neighbors are already paying more than their share — and that money not sent to Washington stays at home.

(A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)

It’s time to cut the overpaid people who are paid with our taxes To the editor, For all my fellow senior citizen friends, neighbors and acquaintances who are trying to make ends meet with the rising cost of medical, groceries, transportation, heat and electricity, be not dismayed, the Grinch is alive and well. The landlord is getting his share of the little you have, or don’t have and tucking it where the sun don’t shine. But, in all honesty, the town is tucking it to him too, by spending more money than they take in and charging permit fees to the man who owns his own land but has

to pay a fee to the town to sell Christmas trees, on his own land, and the store owner trying to help a charity by selling raffle tickets . . . hummm. . . just try and asking where all that permit money is going.

Instead of raping poor citizens pockets, it may be time to cut the overpaid people who are paid with our taxes. If one could stop the domino effect starting at the top, maybe the people on the bottom wouldn’t have to give up any more of what they don’t have.

LETTERS I’m glad I’m 68; I won’t have to see the world they’re creating To the editor, I’m 68 and retired. Except for a period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I’ve worked hard since I was 14, cutting lawns for the neighbors, at 15 working as a dishwasher. I used put in 50-60 hour weeks and did not call in sick fo years.

I made a good salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked hard to get where I am.

I am very tired . I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic.

I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. I’m tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to “keep people in their homes.” Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I’m willing to help. But if they bought Mc Mansions at three times the price of our almost paid for, $250,000 home, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money.

I am tired of being told that I can’t have a raise in my Social Security by a bunch of over paid clowns (AKA Congress) because the cost of living did not go up. Don’t these people pay real estate taxes, electric and other bills while they constantly raise their own pay and benefits?

I’m tired of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, and Hollywood entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In 30 years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe, the freedom of the press of China the crime and violence of Mexico, the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela.

I’m tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a three-bedroom home and keep our heat no higher than 68. Not like the people on “the dole”; they open their windows while the heat is at 74. Our carbon footprint is about 5-percent of Al Gore’s, and if you’re greener than Gore, you’re green enough.

I’m tired of being told that Islam

is a “Religion of Peace,” when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family “honor”; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren’t “believers”; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for “adultery”; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari’a law tells them to.

I’m tired of being told that “race doesn’t matter” in the post-racial world of Obama, when it’s all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S. Senators from Illinois.

I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government.

Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? Get a clue. I did vote for Bush in 2000, because the media ,Gore, and that liar Clinton drove me to his camp . In 2004, that spoiled brat Kerry drove me to him.

I’m tired of being told that out of “tolerance for other cultures” we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America, while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance. By the way, would anybody care to guess how much we send to that country in oil money?

I’m tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off?

I don’t think gay people choose to be Gay, but I #@*# sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I’m tired of see next page

LETTERS Mr. Bird was judged guilty by a unanimous verdict of his peers To the editor, I read with interest last week Mr. Juve’s letter in which he attempts to portray Mr. Ward Bird as a sacrificial lamb being led to slaughter. It is an unfortunate situation for the Bird family, but it’s even more unfortunate that Mr. Juve politicizes their situation to promote his political agenda — the rights of gun owners. To my count, Juve decries the fact that Bird is being deprived of his 2nd Amendment right to beat arms on eight different occasions. The fact is that no one is denying Bird his right to own a firearm; but with rights comes responsibilities.

One very important right that has not been discussed in this forum in our 6th Amendment right,which guarantees the right to trial by jury. Apparently Mr. Juve was not in attendance at Bird’s trial or he would realize that it was anything but a “mock trial”. A jury of Mr. Bird’s peers, based on evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defense, found bird guilty of apparent irresponsibility by the manner in which he “brandished” his gun in a life-threatening manner — a unanimous decision is required in all criminal verdicts. In response to Mr. Juve’s characterization of this being a “miscarriage of justice”, I would suggest that every guilty verdict would be a miscarriage of justice in the eyes of the defendant.

Mr. Bird was no “enigmatic figure”, as Mr. Juve would like us to believe. Bird knew what he was being charged with, and he was read his rights; his rights were not “suddenly suspended”, as Juve claims. We are all aware that Mr. Bird rejected a plea deal that would have kept him out of jail, and I’m sure the county attorney’s office explained what was being offered and the possible ramifications if he declined the offer and opted for a jury trial. Mr. Bird rejected the deal and went to trial hoping a

jury would fine him not guilty. While I admire his integrity, Bird rolled the dice and lost, knowing full well what the consequences could be.

To further ensure Mr. Bird’s rights, the finding of the Superior Court was appealed to the N.H. Supreme Court.

Mr. Bird’s appeal was argued by one of the finest defense attorneys in New Hampshire before the chief justice and four associate justices. After both sides of the appeal were heard, our Supreme Court upheld the finding of the Carroll County Superior Court.

The New Hampshire courts are not “frowning” on Mr. Bird’s rights. If any of his rights have been violated, if he had been “cheated”, if they had been “suspended”, the ruling by our highest court would have been in his favor — he is not being picked on just because he owns a gun.

It was also disheartening to read how Mr. Juve’s histrionics paint the local police as modern day Gestapo, who “seized”, “persecuted” and “aggressively placed” Mr. Bird “in a dark prison cell with bars and denied his freedom”.

To inject further fear into the gun owners of New Hampshire, Mr. Juve puts forth the supposition that somehow the Barack “Hussein” Obama administration is responsible for the predicament Bird find himself in.

It’s disappointing that Mr. Juve has so little faith in our judicial system, going so far as to state that the decision “looks like a fix”. If this comment is not meant as a “smear” to the judiciary, I can’t imagine what else was intended .

I do regret the plight that Mr. Bird and his family find themselves in, and sincerely hope they are united at the earliest possible date.

from preceding page harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana. I grew up ina home of a Mass State Police captain, in charge of the first drug task force.

I saw first hand what drugs do, and believe me, it is not a disease I’m tired of illegal aliens being called “undocumented workers,” especially the ones who aren’t working, but are living on welfare or crime. What’s next? Calling drug dealers, “Undocumented Pharmacists”? And, no, I’m not against Hispanics. I’m willing to fast track for citizenship of any Hispanic person who can speak English, doesn’t have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military. Those are the citizens we need.

I’m tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent

mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

Speaking of poor, I’m tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor.

The majority of Americans didn’t have that in 1960s, but we didn’t know we were “poor.” The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.

I’m real tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions.

I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or bigwhatever for their problems.

Yes, I’m #@*% tired. But I’m also glad to be 68. Because, mostly, I’m not going to have to see the world these people are making. I’m just sorry for my three granddaughters and grandson.

LETTERS Kids are misled with lies that our founders were not Christians To the editor, I wish to respond to the letter by Steve Earle, published November 2.

Mr. Earle is right on with his remarks. The contrary has been going on since the 60s. As Hitlers propaganda minister knew well, “Keep telling the same lies long enough and people will believe them”.

Alex De Tocqueville visited America and published his observations in 1835.

He acknowledged the Christian religion in America’s founding and in its founders. In his thesis, he wrote of his observations on Christianity and its influence on the new nation. If we were to take the time and read the early Constitutions of each state we would see the influence of the Christian religion in the founding of our country. These documents testify of such.

No nation has given to the world the advances as this Christian nation.

Nor has any been as charitable as we have. We have given more than all nations combined.

Yes! We were founded as a Christian nation. We have endured as a Christian people. And we hope to expound those principles that will save this dieing nation. The Puritans braved the journey here and carried their Holy Bible to a new land. They named Massachusetts, “The Holy Commonwealth”. And dedicated it to that purpose.

For well over two hundred years, judges kept the Holy Bible on the bench in front of them. It has been written that the reason we stand when the judge enters the court room

is the tradition of honoring the Bible he carried when he entered the room — usually following a period of time spent in his chambers praying that he would pass correct judgment.

David Josiah Brewer served as Supreme Court justice from 1889-1910.

He studied American history with a keen interest. And wrote. “By these and other evidences I claim to have shown that the calling of this Republic a Christian nation is not a mere pretense but a recognition of a historical, legal and social truth”. And added “Christianity has stood for liberty and the rights of man”.

Much of our law was predicated from the Bible. It was from these holy works our Founding Fathers searched for a formula to found a new nation. The books of Deuteronomy and Numbers held many keys to their search. They also studied causes that lead to failure of past nations. From their works and sacrifices a constitutional republic was born. They knew the failures of a democracy. Today our children are mislead with falsehoods and other propaganda that we were not a Christian nation and our founders were not Christians.

We are a constitutional republic and Christian nation under siege and infiltrated with socialist and communist ideology, an atheistic enemy to God and this nation. These are trying times for the moral fiber that has held this nation together for so long. It will survive and flourish while its enemies consume themselves.

Exit 20, towards Laconia, approximately 7 miles on lef t, just past the Winnisquam Bridge.

Tax cap can be overridden by council simply not passing a budget To the editor, Laconia’s TAX RATE CAP does not take 2/3rd majority to override. Each department head shall submit a proposed budget to the city manager. The manager may increase or decrease any departments proposed line items.

The manager is not bound by the TAX RATE CAP when consolidating the individual line items in the proposed grand total appropriation. The council has no say regarding the manager’s proposed budget. Any attempt to do so is interference.

However, once the proposed budget is delivered to the council, it can increase or decrease any line item in the municipal budget. The council, by resolution, may direct the manager to submit a subsequent budget that complies with the intent of the TAX RATE CAP. The CAP only states that what-

ever the council’s annual grand total appropriation is, that the TAX RATE not exceed the cost of living factors.

The municipal portion of the tax rate for the adequate needs of the city is bound by home rule.

The dirty little secret about the TAX CAP is that not only can the council, by 2/3 majority, override the CAP, but MERELY by not adopting a budget resolution, i.e., DEFAULT, the manager’s budget takes effect. The municipal portion of the property tax bill may be any amount to achieve a balanced budget. Whoever believes the TAX RATE CAP cannot be exceeded without a 2/3 vote of the council has not read the city charter. In fact, once a budget takes effect the TAX RATE CAP EXPIRES annually, it’s the law.

Thomas A. Tardif Laconia

The U.S. budget must be balanced and the debt paid down To the editor, Tax compromise my aching aunt’s fanny! That’s putting lipstick on a pig.

We are in debt. Serious debt. Debt service eats up 40-percent of every tax dollar collected. That means were are sending $.40 cents of every dollar we collect in taxes to China, Iran or who ever else may be holding our debt.

That’s a problem.

If we paid off our debt we could increase spending by 40-percent without raising taxes. Why is that so hard to understand? Doesn’t that make sense?

The action taken by the president and the legislative leadership, the tax compromise, does nothing to reduce the debt. It does nothing to increase revenue. It does not reduce spending.

It does nothing to create jobs. We can

no longer continue to accept aimless leadership. We need to expect more.

We need to do things that are in the best interest of the American taxpayer. This compromise is dangerously misguided. It does none of the things that will help us improve our situation.

We need to understand that the budget must be balanced. The debt needs to be paid down. Spending needs to be curtailed. We need to encourage job creation. We need leadership. If the folks in Washington can’t lead and they won’t follow. They need to get out of the way. We do not have unlimited time to change the course.

Just my honest opinion.

Meredith officials offended by letter seeking Waukewan water level input; state says it was just extending courtesy

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Last spring the selectmen were peeved to discover that the state, not the town, controlled the level of Lake Waukewan, but this week they were irked when the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) solicited their opinion prior to issuing a final order setting the operating level for the 2011 recreational season.

The lake is the source of the town’s potable water supply.

Last month, Steve Doyon of the Dam Bureau at DES wrote to Town Manager Phil Warren seeking “any information that you may have relative to how impoundment levels may affect issues or conditions of concern to or regulated by the Town so that we may consider it prior to issuing a final determination on how the dam at the outlet of the lake will be managed in the future.”

Warren wondered why DES sought a “formal opinion” from the town after asserting its authority over the lake level. “If it’s a state responsibility, why are they asking us for a formal opinion,” he said.

Moreover, Warren was troubled that if DES wanted to weigh the town’s opinion in reaching its decision, the agency should not be taking soundings “in the dead of winter” when most seasonal residents are not in Meredith.

Selectman Peter Brothers said that in replying to the letter, the board should remind DES that they from preceding page stay with him in his home.

According to Asst. Attorney General Peter Hinckley, it was Holderness Police who originally responded to the 9-1-1- call made about 6 a.m.

According to the Union Leader, the call was made by a local man who often opens the laundromat and then goes upstairs and has coffee with Doane.

A guard at the Grafton County Jail in North Haverhill confirmed Jax was being held there.

have made it plain that the operating level of the lake is solely within their jurisdiction.

Surprised by the selectboard’s reaction, Doyon said this week that the same letter was mailed to more than a dozen stakeholders whose interests are affected by the level of the lake. Apart from drawing its drinking water from the lake, he said that the town operates a swimming beach and boat ramp on the lake. Doyon said that the letter was intended to elicit any information or opinion local officials might want to offer about how the town’s interests could be affected by the lake level.

The Dam Bureau began studying the management of Lake Waukewan in September 2008, after some waterfront property owners claimed high water was damaging their property and threatening the environment. In November, 2009 the lake was drawn down to 539 feet above sea level and the following April DES announced it would maintain the lake at 539.5 feet during the summer of 2010 and set a permanent operating level by the spring of 2011. The interim operating level of 539.5 is approximately a foot below the average between 2005 and 2010 and six inches below the average between 1985 and 2005.

The decision, which took some seasonal residents by surprise, set property owners at odds as some favored the lower level and others the higher level. The debate raged throughout the summer and consumed wellattended public meetings in July and August.

Meanwhile, a group of homeowners around Jenness Cove at the northeast corner of the lake appealed DES’s decision, charging that it impaired the use of their property and posed hazards to navigation. The appeal has been accepted by the Water Council, a panel that oversees the Water Division of DES. A pre-hearing conference has been scheduled for January, but a hearing date has yet to be set.

Doyon said that the bureau expects to issue its final decision by April 1. He said that it was possible that the Water Council would not hear the appeal until after the decision was issued.

EXPERT from page one fer advice on the state laws bearing on the structure of school administrative units (SAUs).

Troubled by the 3.5-percent increase in the school district budget, a week ago Terry Stewart suggested the committee take the retirement of Superintendent Paul DeMinico as an opportunity to spare the cost of the position for one year while exploring alternative management systems.

Scott Isabelle, business administrator of the School District, last week cautioned that eliminating the position of superintendent raised legal issues and

Sue Allen, a longtime member of the school board, told the committee that some years ago the school board considered the prospect only to dismiss it.

Stewart, last week, said that one of the committee members knew an “expert,” who could inform the committee the legal aspects of the management of the School District.

When the committee turned to the question last night, Skip Murphy proposed inviting Mesa-Tejada, describing him as a member of the budget committee and vice-chair of the school board in Hampstead. see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, December 10, 2010 — Page 11

29-year-old man with long criminal record arrested as accomplice in Laconia robbery LACONIA — A man who police allege was the accomplice of the young Tilton woman who threatened a local man with a knife and stole his money was ordered held on $15,000 cash only bail yesterday.

Norge O’Flaherty, 29, whose address was given as 245 Sargent Road, #1, in Gilmanton was charged with felony first degree assault, simple assault from preceding page Moreover, Murphy said that MesaTejada took part in drafting legislation that provides alternatives to a management structure headed by a superintendent. The legislation was adopted in 1996 at the initiative of Ovide Lamontagne, then chairman of the N.H. Board of Education, who that same year lost the governor’s race to Jeanne Shaheen and this year ran Kelly Ayotte a close race for the Republican nomination to the United States Senate.

Paul Blandford, representing the School Board on the Budget Committee, said that although the Budget Committee could reduce the School District budget, it was inappropriate to invite an outsider to discuss eliminating the position of school superintendent.

“We’re not saying eliminate the position,” replied David Horvath. “We’re saying let’s explore the alternatives.

What’s the harm?”

“If that is what you are doing,” Blandford countered, “this is the wrong forum.”

Dale Dormody said that if the committee wanted to explore alternatives to employing a superintendent, then it would have to invite lots more experts, schedule many more meetings and and do a great deal of research.

Blandford stressed that the Budget Committee was not elected to reorganize the School District, which is the preserve of the School Board.

“This board is not doing the School Board’s work,” Chairman Dick Hickok insisted.

DeMinico told the committee that since this issue first arose he had spoken with Judy Fillion of the New Hampshire Department of Education, who advised him that there are

C

and felony accomplice to commit theft for his role in the alleged Dec. 1 crime.

Around 2 a.m., on that date, police responded to a report of a fight in a house near Wyatt Park in the South End and found one male victim yelling that O’Flaherty’s alleged accomplice Tiffany Ramos has threatened to stab him.

A second male victim told police that

no school districts in the state without superintendents. He said that she indicated the agency would entertain a petition to operate without a superintendent, but only if it had fewer than 400 students and no more than two buildings.

“It can’t happen in Gilford,” DeMinico said. “Too large. Too many buildings.”

Since the district requires a superintendent, DeMinico said that if the committee removed the $172,302 allocated for the superintendent from the budget, an equal amount would have to be eliminated from instructional programs, which would have an adverse impact on students.

With Blandford and Dormody dissenting, the committee voted seven to two to invite Mesa-Tejada to its meeting next week.

Mesa-Tejada is not only an “expert” on education law. He is also a director of the Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers and was a sometime guest on “Meet the New Press,” the talk radio program hosted by Murphy and Doug Lambert, before WEMJAM dropped the show in November 2008, after Lambert made derogatory remarks that carried over the air. He has also contributed to GraniteGrok, the blog hosted by Murphy.

Last year Mesa-Tejada was among those protesting the federal health care reform bill outside Hampstead Town Hall, where representatives of Senator Jeanne Shaheen were meeting with constituents. The Tri-Town News reported that “Mesa-Tejada, proudly wearing his yellow New Hampshire Tea Party Coalition shirt, said ‘Our goal is to obey the constitution and to prevent the socialist/Marxist president from taking over our country.’”

$3,000 had fallen out of his pocket and that O’Flaherty held a knife to his throat while Ramos grabbed the money. He said Ramos gave the money to O’Flaherty while holding the first male victim at bay by threatening him with a knife.

He said that OFlaherty tried to leave through a kitchen window and bit him on the wrist when he went to stop him.

Police noticed a broken kitchen window and said the shrubbery under the window appeared to have been

disturbed by something or someone.

Ramos was taken into custody at the scene and arraigned the next morning on two counts of felony criminal threatening and theft by unauthorized taking. She was ordered held on $6,000 cash-only bail.

O’Flaherty, however, fled the area before police arrived.

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire regulators said Thursday an electric utility acted appropriately when it shut off power to a woman who didn’t pay her power bill and died after an oxygen machine she needed stopped working.

The state Public Utilities Commission reviewed National Grid’s disconnection of service to Kay Phaneuf, 53, of Salem.

She died on June 24, three days after her husband found her unconscious, about an hour after power was cut. Police said the bill wasn’t paid.

Her account had a medical protection notice intended to prevent such a shutoff in the past, but it had lapsed.

“The death of Ms. Phaneuf was tragic,” the commission report said.

“However, the facts revealed during the investigations by the Salem Police Department, the Rockingham County Attorney, and commission staff do not indicate that National Grid acted in violation of applicable regulations.”

The commission concluded there was no reason for it to take any action against the utility.

Patrick Jones, an attorney representing Phaneuf’s family, said he expects to file a complaint against the utility soon. He declined to comment

further. A message left for National Grid was not returned Thursday afternoon.

Gov. John Lynch said while it appears that existing regulations were followed, it is clear utilities must do more to prevent future incidents.

He said the commission is developing uniform rules on the length of time utilities recognize medical emergency certificates and on handling certificates that have lapsed.

“These are important policy changes that can help prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future,” he siad.

Phaneuf relied on the oxygen machine as part of her treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The commission noted that the emergency certification on her account had lapsed, that National Grid tried to notify her about it, and that she had not provided an updated certification. The commission also noted that National Grid followed its regulations in taking steps to disconnect the service.

In September, James Reams, the county attorney, said National Grid went above and beyond regulations and bears no criminal responsibility for what happened.

from preceding page day night where he was staying.

Police went to 186 Union Ave. and spoke with a tenant of the apartment who confirmed O’Flaherty was inside.

He was taken into custody without incident.

O’Flaherty has an extensive record according to police. He was convicted in 1999 of shoplifting; bail jumping and two counts of theft by unauthorized taking.

In 2000 he was convicted of two counts of receiving stolen property and two counts of theft by unauthorized taking. In 2001, he was con-

victed on second degree assault and robbery in Belknap County Superior Court and in 2002 he was convicted of assault by prisoner.

In 2006, he was convicted of simple assault, violating a protective order and prohibited sales. In 2007 he was convicted of bail jumping.

In 2008 and 2009 he has four separated convictions — two for simple assault, one for criminal mischief and one for breach of bail.

With the exception of his Belknap County Superior Court convictions, all of the above occurred in Laconia District Court.

A bus full of riders prepares to depart from the Laconia Senior Center after the annual holiday meal. The bus, a service of the Rural Transportation Program, is seen as a critical way to support the growing senior population and allow them to stay living independently for as long as possible.

Proponents say increased use of $1 a ride, door-to-door, bus will ensure its future for seniors who truly need it

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — For more than 25 years, the Rural Transportation Program has been available for local residents aged 60 and older, who can arrange to have a bus pick them up at their residence and take them to an appointment or to do some shopping. More than just a ride, though, the program’s administrators see it as a tool that allows older residents to remain living at their home. As the state’s percentage of residents older than 60 is projected to rise significantly in the near future, services such as this program are expected to be an important part of the network that copes with the demographic shift.

The Rural Transportation Program, as well as the senior centers out of which the buses are dispatched, are organized under the umbrella of the Community Action Program’s Elder Services. There are six senior centers in Belknap and Merrimack

counties that offer a bus service, including the ones in Belmont and Laconia, both of which also service surrounding communities. In the 2009-2010 fiscal year, the transportation service collectively provided 20,246 rides to 464 seniors.

The transportation service is paid for using a patchwork of revenue sources, including contributions from municipalities, counties and state and federal sources. Riders are asked to contribute a voluntary $1 donation per ride.

For people such as Marie Carignan, who’s been a rider since 1992, the benefit of the bus service well exceeds the cost of the donation. By calling a day ahead, she can arrange to have the bus pick her up at the door of her Laconia home, take her to the doctor’s office, or to go grocery shopping. The driver, a woman named Karen — “She’s so good to me,” Carignan said — helps her carry her bags to her front see next page

N.H. Marine, killed in Afghanistan, lauded as hero CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Michael Geary was so proud to be a Marine he wore his dress uniform to show his Pinkerton Academy English teacher after he completed training.

Geary, a 20-year-old from Derry, joined the Marines after he graduated from Pinkerton in 2009 and had risen to the rank of lance corporal by the time he died Wednesday in Afghanistan. He had started training to be a Marine when he was 14 by running and working out with his recruiters, his grieving uncle Michael Maccormack recalled Thursday.

Being a Marine “was just something he really wanted to do,” Maccormack said.

The family still does not know what happened, Maccormack said.

Geary had been in Afghanistan since August and was due to come home in January. He had other chances at leave but passed them up to help buddies with families.

“If he had leave, he passed it up to someone who was married and had children,” Maccormack said.

He was serving his first tour in Afghanistan, Maccormack said. He planned to become a police officer from preceding page door. “I’m 97 years old, I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere [without the bus]. It means everything to me.”

Flo Mancuso, a Gilford resident, has been using the bus for five years, since her now-deceased husband fell ill and could no longer drive her. Now, she takes the bus five days a week. She said the bus is a clean, dependable way for someone like her to get around. “If I didn’t have the bus, I’d have to take a cab, which would be quite an expense,” she said.

More than a cost-effective alternative to a livery service, though, Mancuso has learned that becoming one of the regular bus riders has brought her into a new social circle. “When you get on the bus, you meet quite a few friends,” she said.

According to the program’s administrators, Mancuso’s experience is not unusual.

“It’s not just a ride, it’s a mobile community of friends and connections,” said Kris Bregler, assistant director of Elder Services for the Community Action Program. In New Hampshire, there are many seniors without adult children living nearby.

For them, losing the ability to drive or walk long distances can present a crisis. The transportation service helps enable those seniors to remain independent, living on their own and within their chosen communities and, said Bregler, “thwarts the premature placement in an institutional setting.”

Paul Weston, director of the Laconia Senior Center, said the bus “is not just from point A to point B,” but is rather a bridge between seniors and the outside world, a world from which they might become isolated from without the service. Indeed, he reported that more than half of those who visit the center for a meal, social outlet or informational presentation

or border patrolman when he got out of the service, he said.

Geary told teachers when he was accepted into the Marines it fulfilled a lifelong ambition, Pinkerton spokesman Robin Perrin said. Several teachers remembered Geary as a quiet man who deeply loved his country.

Geary’s English teacher, Joseph Dion, issued a statement about his former student, recalling the day Geary told him he had been accepted into the Marines.

“He was standing tall, proud of his decision to become a Marine,” Dion wrote. “Right from the start I liked having Mike as a student. He was genuinely interested in learning; he asked honest questions with a real desire to know the truth. When he made the decision to join the Marines, it was clear he had made a decision that would help him achieve a goal he truly believed in.”

Dion recalled Geary’s senior essay was on what it takes to become a Marine and what Marines have to offer.

arrive via the bus.

Terri Paige, mobility coordinator for the Elder Services program, said, “We want people to be connected to their community, to be safe and healthy.”

However, she’s noticed an initial resistance many seniors have to the concept. She would like to see more seniors take advantage of it. It’s available to any residents 60 or older, regardless of income levels or the ability to drive one self. For those on a fixed income, taking the bus could represent a significant savings over the costs associated with operating an automobile.

Paige urged those who qualify to consider using the service. Rather than taking up a public resource, she said seniors should consider their ridership as “enriching the experience” of those around them and helping to ensure that the service will remain available for those who truly need it. After all, the increasingly-competitive grants that fund the program are secured with the help of strong ridership figures. In other words, the program is more likely to keep its funding if more people take the bus.

A ride on the bus can be arranged by calling one of the six senior centers that offer the program. Laconia’s number is 527-7689.

As Weston noted, the 250,000 or so seniors living in New Hampshire represents about a fifth of the state’s overall population. That number is expected to rise dramatically as the “baby boomer” generation matures, while the other end of the age spectrum — school age children — is shrinking, at least locally.

As the near future approaches, services that allow seniors to stay independent and in their homes will become critical.

“Think of the bus,” he urged, “give us a try.”

Red Sox signing Carl Crawford for 7 years; $142M LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Immediately after the Red Sox landed Carl Crawford, the Yankees boosted their already whopping offer to Cliff Lee. Their high-stakes rivalry is escalating, hundreds of millions of dollars by the hour.

The other teams in the majors? They can only marvel at Big Boys Gone Wild.

“I’ve never played in those poker games,” Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said Thursday. “It’s a different pool of players we focus on and look at. I hear about it and kind of move on.”

In the biggest shifts of the week, Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez joined the Red Sox, Jayson Werth went to Washington, Carlos Pena moved to the Chicago Cubs and Paul Konerko stayed with the White Sox. Derek Jeter, meanwhile, completed his deal with the Yankees and admitted he was angry with how the team handled talks.

Boston general manager Theo Epstein wouldn’t directly confirm Crawford’s deal for $142 million and seven years. “If things come together the way we hope and expect, we’ll be really satisfied,” he said.

Predictably, the Yankees quickly raised the ante for their No. 1 target, offering Lee a seven-year contract. That’s up from a six-year proposal worth nearly $140 million.

A person familiar with the Crawford deal told The Associated Press that his agreement was subject to passing a physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet complete.

“You go into every winter with a Plan A, and sometimes it’s hard to pull that off and you move on to Plan B and C,” Epstein said. “I think adding an impact player was very important for where we were in the short-, medium- and long-term and adding two, as long as they were the right players in the right spots in the right situations, would be even better.”

The speedy Crawford is a four-time All-Star and just won his first Gold Glove. He hit .307 with 19 home runs, an AL-leading 13 triples and 90 RBIs for Tampa Bay last season. He scored 110 runs and stole 47 bases.

A dynamic player at 29, he has spent his entire major league career with the Rays.

by Paul Gilligan

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis haps no one will erect a monument to your greatness today, but make no mistake: The good deeds you do contribute to the structure of humanity. With your every kindness, you are building your legacy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If it comes too easily to you, you won’t keep track of it, maintain it or appreciate it enough. Someone realizes this and makes you work for his or her attention.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’re in a flirtatious mood, but be aware that not everyone is open to your fun energy. Try not to make anyone jealous, and be sure that your choice of words is appropriate for the environment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

What we now call “myth” was once taken very seriously as religion. And all those family stories you tell -- someone actually lived them at one time. You will pay homage to the past in some way today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you feel someone edging away, just know that the dance of love is a push-andpull ballet. You can close the distance between you with a bridge made of laughter.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 10) Love is in the forefront this year. You create excitement by seizing your moments impulsively. Your personal life zings with new interest in January.

Your riches grow after you take control of your expenses and whittle them down to a grouping that is more easily handled. Your home gets a makeover in June. Libra and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 22, 19 and 5.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be a trailblazer, developing a different kind of system from what was once used in the job you’re doing. Push beyond what you think will work. The answer will be on the extreme side.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want a certain outcome, but what matters to you more than the end result is the way the result has been achieved.

Stay involved. Keep the others accountable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You won’t want to judge others or spoil their fun, but that doesn’t mean you want to participate in it, either. You are no stranger to high speed and high-risk activities, though you’ll opt for a mellow and wise choice today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have always been an intuitive person, and yet you have not always believed in your intuition enough to act on it.

Today, you don’t need proof in order to be certain of something.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Gravitate toward those who show extreme generosity. Beware of the one who says he will meet you halfway. Make sure this person is as good a judge of distance as you are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t know what your whims are because you have not been in a position to follow any of them or have them fulfilled. But all of that is about to change. So start up the quirky dream machine in your head.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The right project for you is something you can become totally immersed in. There is a paradox at work here: You will find the best in yourself when you lose yourself altogether.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Per-

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a 27-year-old man, living with a girlfriend and our 3-year-old daughter. I have a serious problem with drugs, mainly prescription pills. I have tried to quit many times, unsuccessfully. When I don’t have any drugs for 12 hours, I get very sick. I don’t have the money to pay for rehab. Are there inexpensive places that work with struggling addicts? If I don’t stop, I’m going to destroy the relationship I have with my daughter, and I could end up losing my life.

If you have any information, my family and I would greatly appreciate it. -- Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired in Tennessee Dear Tennessee: The fact that you are seeking help is a good sign, and we have confidence you can be successful in getting through the withdrawal symptoms with a little assistance.

Your local hospitals should be your first step in locating help.

You also can find community-based services through the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (csat.samhsa.gov) at 1-800662-HELP (1-800-662-4357) and the online recovery resource soberrecovery.com, which has listings of free treatment centers in your state.

Dear Annie: My husband is a very generous man. Most of our friends reciprocate in some way, but one person takes advantage. “Tony” lets my husband pay his way everywhere.

He even brings people with him. He showed up at our rented vacation condo with his grown son and daughter. When he comes to our home for dinner, he brings uninvited guests with him. Tony never offers to treat us to a meal or anything else.

When Tony was out of work, I put up with it, but he’s employed now and makes good money. He recently purchased a pair of $300 sunglasses. How do I tell him this is not right? It doesn’t seem to bother my husband at all. He considers Tony his best friend. Help me, Annie. He is making me not like

him. -- Mooch for a Friend Dear Friend: Don’t talk to Tony. Talk to your husband, and explain that Tony’s freeloading habits are getting on your nerves. However, this is your husband’s best friend, and he may be unwilling to treat him differently. Register your complaint, but don’t issue any ultimatums.

Dear Annie: My heart goes out to “Need Patience,” the woman who is the caregiver for her rude 92-year-old mother.

You told her to ignore her mother’s nasty comments and criticisms, since “it is unlikely you are going to change her.” I disagree. Unless her mother has a personality-altering disease, there is no reason she cannot behave courteously toward her daughter.

I am not advocating that the daughter respond in kind, but there is nothing wrong in saying gently, “Mom, you probably don’t realize it, but when you say things like that to me, it really hurts. I love you, but you make me feel like you don’t love or respect me.” Unless the daughter bluntly tells her mother how she feels, nothing will change. What a sad legacy.

I went through the same thing with my mother, but refused to accept her nasty behavior. It wasn’t easy, but it was absolutely worth it -- for both of us. I’m glad I didn’t listen to those who told me, “She’s old. She won’t change.” They were wrong. I followed my heart instead. Now my memories are of the love and good times we shared at the end of her life instead of remembering the hurtful behavior. I wish the same joy to “Needs Patience.” -- Been There, Done That, Have the T-Shirt Dear Been There: We commend you for finding a way to get through to your mother and modify her behavior. “Needs Patience” spoke to her mother and asked her to stop making nasty comments, but it didn’t help. Perhaps if she sees your letter, she will try again.

39 years after his death, Doors’ Jim Morrison pardoned for indecent exposure TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Forty years after Jim Morrison was convicted of exposing himself at a wild Miami concert, this is the end: Florida’s Clemency Board, egged on by departing Gov. Charlie Crist, pardoned The Doors’ long-dead singer Thursday.

Some people who were at the Miami show March 1, 1969, insist even today that he exposed himself, though others in the audience and Morrison’s bandmates contend he was just teasing the crowd and only pretended to do the deed. Crist, tuned in to the controversy by a Doors fan, said there was enough doubt about what happened at the Dinner Key Auditorium to justify a pardon.

The board, which consists of Crist and a three-member Cabinet, voted

unanimously to pardon Morrison on indecent exposure and profanity charges as they granted several other pardons Thursday. At the hearing, the governor called the convictions a “blot” on the record of an accomplished artist for “something he may or may not have done.”

He said Morrison died before he was afforded the chance to present his appeal, so Crist was doing that for him. Board members pointed out several times that they couldn’t retry the case but that the pardon forgave Morrison and negated his sentence.

“In this case the guilt or innocence is in God’s hands, not ours,” Crist said.

Morrison had received a six-month jail sentence — never served — and a $500 fine for the 1970 convictions, which carried consequences for the

band. Ray Manzarek, The Doors’ keyboard player, said Miami was supposed to be the start of a 20-city tour, but every venue canceled after Morrison’s arrest.

“We had the mandate of heaven, and I think at that moment, he lost the mandate of heaven,” Manzarek said.

“In the recording studio, the magic stayed, but I think at that moment in Miami, the live performance magic left for a little while and then came back intermittently.”

Morrison’s appeals were never resolved. He was found dead in a Paris bathtub in 1971 at age 27. No official cause of death was ever issued — his manager said he died of “natural causes.”

Manzarek and Doors guitarist Robby Krieger supported the pardon because they say Morrison never exposed himself, though they agreed Florida’s move will have little affect on Morrison’s wild, outsized, drugaddled rock ‘n’ roll image.

GILFORD — Carson Quigley, a senior at Gilford High School, was selected as 1st alternate for Distinguished Young Woman of New Hampshire 2011 at a competition held November 26.

She competed in five phases of competition: interview, talent, self expression, fitness and scholastics. Her scholastic scores were strong and she impressed the judges with her quiet demeanor in the interview process, said Eva Marie Lynch, chairperson of the event that used to be known as N.H. Junior Miss.

Quigley provided a dance presentation for her talent offering and kept pace during a fast moving fitness routine. Her eloquence was evident in the

self expression category of competition, added Lynch.

The 54th National Finals will take place on June 23, 24, and 25 in Mobile, Alabama. Idaho’s Madison Leonard who attends Pepperdine University, won the 2010 title.

Founded in 1958 in Mobile, Alabama, America’s Junior Miss, now Distinguished Young Women, is the largest and oldest national scholarship program for high school girls. During its 54 years of operation, the program has provided life-changing experiences for more than 700,000 young women. Last year Distinguished Young Women provided more than $63 million in cash and college scholarships opportunities.
