Dollars for superintendent survive on tie vote BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — After all of the hue and cry about the Budget Committee’s alleged desire to eliminate the superintendent’s position from next year’s school budget, last night it voted removing a sum equivalent to administrators’ raises and school board member stipends — a total reduction of $23,000. The tentative bottom line number that will
be raised through taxes in 2011-12 is now $8,575,258. The budget committee will meet once more in January to finalize the number before submitting it for the town warrant. While the Budget Committee recommends the final number for the warrant, it is the School Board members — most of whom were at last night’s meeting — who decide how the money will be spent. The issue that brought a roomful of people to the Gilford town offices last night stems
from the announced retirement of Superintendent Paul Diminico and the desire by some members of the Budget Committee to save money by changing the administrative structure of the district to one without a superintendent. According to Jorge Mesa-Tejada, one of the authors of the 1993 study to simplify the administrative structure of New Hampshire’s schools, a stand-alone school district see GILFORD page 12

CANTERBURY – The Shaker Regional School Board last night began wrestling with the prospect of constructing a 201112 budget that could eliminate 9.5 full-time positions as well as reduce spending for technology purchases and building maintenance while increasing total expenditures by two-percent. The board seeks to limit the increase in the budget to ease the disparate impact on the tax rates of Belmont and Canterbury, which together comprise the district. The towns share the cost of schools by a formula that lends equal weight to assessed property values and annual student enrollment. The burden of increased spending falls most heavily on Belmont, where see SHAKER page 7

GILFORD — As a girl, Melissa “Missy” Kennell spent her summers vacationing with her family at a lakeside cabin in Gilford. “I’ve always wanted to live here, it
was always my dream,” she said, but in her youthful world view she didn’t realize that there were people who resided year-round in the Lakes Region. Now that she’s an adult, she and her husband Alan have taken full advantage of
the opportunity to settle and raise their family where many choose to spend their vacation. They’ve also been pleased to find out that their services – Alan’s an orthodontist practicing on North Main see DENTIST page 11

Democrats give up effort to try & pass $1.3-trillion spending bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats controlling the Senate abandoned on Thursday a huge catchall spending measure combining nearly $1.3 trillion worth of unfinished budget work, including $158 billion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Facing a midnight Saturday deadline when a stopgap funding measure expires, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he would work with Republican leader Mitch McConnell to produce a bill to keep the federal government running into early next year. The 1,924-page bill collapsed of its own weight after an outcry from conservatives who complained it was stuffed with more than $8 billion in homestate pet projects known as earmarks. Reid, D-Nev., gave up on the bill after several Republicans who had been thinking of voting for it pulled back their support. McConnell, R-Ky., threw
his weight against the bill in recent days, saying it was “unbelievable” that Democrats would try to muscle through in the days before Christmas legislation that usually takes months to debate. “Just a few weeks after the voters told us they don’t want us rushing major pieces of complicated, costly, far-reaching legislation through Congress, we get this,” McConnell said. “This is no way to legislate.” The turn of events was a major victory for earmark opponents like Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who for years have been steamrolled by the old-school members of the powerful Appropriations Committee. The spending barons saw their power ebb in the wake of midterm elections that delivered major gains for Republicans — with considerable help from anti-spending tea party activists.
“We just saw something extraordinary on the floor of the United States Senate,” a grinning McCain said. The $1.27 trillion catchall bill wrapped together 12 bills — blending $1.1 trillion for the operating budgets of every federal agency with an infusion of funding to carry the war in Afghanistan into its 10th year — into a single foot-tall piece of legislation that Democrats had hoped to pass with just a couple of days’ worth of debate. It was designed to bankroll the day-to-day operations of the government for the budget year that started Oct. 1, funding the almost one-third of the federal budget that Congress has to pass each year. The House and Senate typically spend months on the 12 annual spending bills, but Democrats didn’t bring even a single one to the Senate floor this year, an unprecedented collapse of an appropriations process.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Acting with uncommon speed, Congress moved toward final passage Thursday night of sweeping, bipartisan legislation to avoid a Jan. 1 spike in income taxes for millions and renew jobless benefits for victims of the worst recession in 80 years. The measure also will cut Social Security taxes for nearly every wage-earner and pump billions of dollars into the still-sluggish economy. The legislation was the result of a reach across party lines by President Barack Obama and top Republicans in Congress — stubborn adversaries during two years of political combat that ended when the GOP emerged the undisputed winner in midterm elections on Nov. 2. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Fla., called it “a bipartisan moment of clarity” as the House moved toward
an expected late night vote. After forcing a delay in the House early in the day, Democratic critics settled for a separate vote in their bid to roll back an estate tax provision they attacked as a giveaway to the very rich. They conceded they were unlikely to prevail, and conceded the measure would pass unchanged. “The president will be able to sign it as soon as he likes,” said Rep. Rob Andrews of New Jersey, who added later on the House floor he would support “an imperfect bill” in hopes of stimulating job creation. The Senate passed the legislation Wednesday, 81-19. House Republicans who will move into powerful posts when the GOP takes control in January urged passage of the bill. Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, in line to become majority leader, said the measure, while not perfect,
marked a “first step” toward economic recovery. Largely marginalized in the negotiations leading to the bill, Democrats emphasized their unhappiness with Obama. “We stand today with only one choice: Pay the ransom now or pay more ransom later,” said Rep. Brad Sherman of California. “This is not a place Democrats want to be. But, ultimately, it is better to pay the ransom today than to watch the president pay even more, and I think he’d be willing to pay a bit more next month.” Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said the White House “could have gotten a better deal” in secretive talks. Policy differences aside, the legislation stood on the brink of enactment an astonishingly quick 10 days after the president announced at the White House he had agreed on a framework with Republicans.
CONCORD (AP) — The Federal Elections Commission has taken a preliminary step toward investigating U.S. Rep.-elect Frank Guinta’s personal finances. The commission this week told state Democratic Party director Mike Brunelle that it has assigned a case number to his complaint and that Guinta will have 15 days to respond once he is notified. Guinta, the former Manchester mayor who defeated Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter in
November, amended a disclosure form in July to add a previously unreported bank account worth up to $500,000, raising questions about how he had been able to loan his campaign $355,000. Democrats have filed complaints with the FEC, the clerk of the U.S. House and the U.S. attorney’s office seeking investigations into the account. They called on Guinta to show bank records proving the account’s earlier existence and have questioned how someone whose chief income over the last decade
was his $72,000-a-year mayoral salary could save that amount. “It’s unacceptable that a New Hampshire member of Congress has such a serious ethical cloud hanging over him,” said Democratic Party spokesman Harrell Kirstein. Neither the House nor the U.S. attorney’s office have responded specifically to those complaints, but earlier this week, the general counsel for the House see GUINTA page 8

America, the crab bucket No matter how soothing the White House overtures to business leaders sounded this week, an inconvenient fact remains: Washington is gripped by crab-in-the-bucket syndrome. And there’s no cure in sight. Put a single crab in an uncovered bucket, and it will find a way to climb up and out on its own. Put a dozen crabs in a bucket, and 11 will fight with all their might to pull down the striver who attempts escape. President Obama sought to reassure 20 CEOs that he wasn’t the king crab holding them down: “I want to dispel any notion we want to inhibit your success,” he cooed. “We want to be boosters because when you do well, America does well.” Take it all with a huge grain of sea salt. This is, after all, the same “booster” who in April mused openly about limits on profits, government determinations for what constitutes a “good” product or service, and the expectation that private businesses serve a collective need to goose Washington’s jobs numbers. “I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money,” the president said. “But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy.” Our Founding Fathers had quite a different view of “the American way,” of course. In 1816, Thomas Jefferson wrote: “To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” But like a success inhibitor injected into the body politic, Obama’s policies have only served to suppress growth, punish ambition and discourage profit-maximizers. He has railed against “fat cats” on Wall Street while protecting his favored financial industry benefactors. He threatened to “kick” the behinds of oil industry executives while refusing to punish the scientific lies and distortions of his own
job-killing environmental czars and bureaucrats. He inveighed against the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for collecting dues from international affiliates while ignoring the same practices among deep-pocketed unions. And he bemoaned tax relief for “millionaires and billionaires” that would actually benefit wealthproducing couples who annually earn more than $250,000 and individuals who earn $200,000 or more. Most small-business owners will tell you they don’t want Obama “boosting” them. They just want him to get out of the way. But none of them was represented at his CEO shindig. Instead, among the business “leaders” the White House invited was billionaire Penny Pritzker — a Chicago crony, Democratic fundraiser/bundler and heiress whose family co-owned a failed subprime specialty bank. While Obama, the olive-branch poseur, has called for a restoration of “civility” in Washington and liberal elites whine and whinny about the need for “no labels,” class-warfare demagoguery has metastasized unchecked. Socialist Bernie Sanders took to the Senate floor to filibuster tax relief for all Americans last week in a ponderous, eight-and-a-half-hour harangue against “greed,” the “rich,” “richer” and “richest,” and “millionaires and billionaires” he had the audacity to liken to “bandits.” On the House side, N.Y. Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley attacked the GOP as the party of the wealthy and compared all people who earn more than $250,000 a year to the late convicted tax evader Leona Helmsley and her Maltese doggie heir. The left wastes no opportunity to blame tea party and talk radio rhetoric for violent acts by lone nuts. But when a suspected serial arsonist (still on the loose) burns down expensive homes in an upscale Cape Cod neighborhood and spray-paints obscene graffiti at the crime scenes, the “words-have-consequences” crowd is nowhere to be found. Such is the silence of the crabs. (Syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin is the daughter of Filipino Immigrants.

LETTERS 9/11 health care bill has been floating around Congress for years To the editor, This letter is in response to a letter written by Dean Tappan in Tuesday’s paper in regards to 9/11 workers and how they are obviously nothing more then a bunch of “deadbeats” looking for a “hand-out”. In his letter, Mr. Tappan provides what I’m sure he felt were clear cut facts on why people that bravely responded to both the largest rescue operation in the history of the fire service, as well as the worst terrorist attack in the history of our great country, were nothing more then a bunch of gung-ho cowboys. Mr. Tappan, I feel that I owe it to the memory of the 343 firefighters, 23 NYPD officers, 37 Port Authority Officers, 13 EMTs, and the thousands of people injured in the attacks to point out some flaws in your logic. Soon after the patriotism that we all felt after 9/11 faded, the Bush administration and nearly all congressional Republicans outside of New York opposed creating and funding of 9/11 health care programs. The delegations from New York had to fight and beg for every penny to help ailing 9/11 responders and they were able to force the Bush administration to set up a 9/11 medical monitoring and treatment program. Since 2001, the federal government has spent only $475-MILLION DOLLARS to provide medical treatment and monitoring to those tens of thousands of Americans who are sick from the effects of the 9/11 attacks. The government has a fund set up for the health care compensation program for nuclear workers. How much do you think that this program has set aside?. The nuclear
workers program has spent to date $6.5-billion federal dollars to date. Yes, that’s billion with a capital B, Mr. Trappan! So, where is your outrage over that? These people are just doing a job, so I guess they are just a bunch of deadbeats looking for a handout. The current 9/11 health care bill (Also know as the Zadroga Act) has been floating around Capital Hill for the years, and had passed the House of Representatives earlier this year. It failed to pass in the Senate, because Senate Republicans had questions about how it was going to be funded, after they had no problem extending tax cuts that would add $500-billion to the national deficit. This bill is anything but careless spending. It will not add a dime to the deficit and is fully paid for by closing a tax loophole that allows foreign multinational corporations to funnel revenue through thirdparty countries in order to reduce the U.S taxes that they owe. I would figure that if any debate in this country could bring people from across the aisle together, it would be a bill to fund health care for 9/11 workers. There are tens of thousands of fire responders and victims of the attacks on American soil are sick or dying. We don’t have the time to partake in pointless bi-partisan debate. If we can spent over $20-billion to fund pork projects such as grants to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or to combat teenage “Goth” culture in Blue Springs, MI, We owe AT THE VERY LEAST to help these brave men and women. Christopher Brady Moultonborough
Cops & firefighters were doing their jobs, serving their country To the editor, In response to the Dec. 15 letter from Dean Tappan, I just want to give a quick focused response to a brother Vietnam Vet on somewhat similar issue maybe that he and a few others could relate to. A time when he/we were at different ‘ground zero’ and yes, had whatever protective gear we had (M16..plus) . . . we did the Right Thing, moved the Right Way, did the bob we were trained to do, expected nothing, received little or nothing and brought
something home with us we never thought of or heard of or expected. Yes, some whined and others sat and continue to sit back and point fingers and do nothing. In the past others have pointed out and to something called’ Agent Orange’ and were called “deadbeats”, wasted, druggies, useless. Mr. Tappan may remember. I remember 38 years ago being asked to give an address nominating a State Legion Commander in see next page

LETTERS was in that debris, what gasses were escaping and what harmful chemicals may have been present. The “urgency” as you would call it was rescuing their co-workers, friends, brothers and sisters. The last time I checked, police officers are not provided with respiratory “scott packs” that you see firefighters wearing, and I know that those devices were in limited supply and there were not enough to go around for everyone. Weeks after this attack, when the true nature of these gasses and debris were determined, you were not allowed to enter the work zone without protective gear, but the damage had already been done to the human body. I promised myself before writing this that I would not make it a personal attack on you. As an American, you are free to express your opinions under the First Amendment, the very liberty that you helped provide for the rest of us with your service to our country in Vietnam, and I thank your for your service. However, for me to respond to the other derogatory comments in your article are beneath me. I am assuming other than the military, you have never provided a level of service again to your community, and may have picked up a speeding ticket or two over the years that creates this level of resentment to the people that actually dedicate their lives to protect you and your family when you need it the most. So in closing, the next time you see a fire truck, a police cruiser, an ambulance, ask yourself a question Mr. Tappan. Ask yourself, I wonder where they are going? If your answer is I hope no one in my family is in trouble, hurt or dying. Then your derogatory comments you posted have no merit in your conscience. Enjoy the Holiday Season. Tim “Troopie” Lima North Andover, Mass.
Now if we can just get insurance to pay for for things that work To the editor, I am so glad they were showing alternative treatments for cancer patients on the news. Now if we can only get the stupid insurance companies to pay for something that works, health care cost would go DOWN. Also, Medicare needs to have itemized billing so they can check on doctors and hospitals double-billing patients and things we do not understand or are paying for. I think we should all be pushing for alternative treatment that wrks. Big pharma is scary and has many side effects. How about being off blood
pressure medicine because alternative treatment worked? Now would you not want that? Same thing for diabetes and other diseases Simple? Pharma and big money is stoping this from happening. Isn’t that nice!! Maybe one day this will come about. I sure hope so. Health care costs would go down and seniors would not be so drugged and in a fog today because of the perscriptions and side effects today. Now that is hope for change we can all use. Anna DeRose Moultonborough

To the editor, This is an open letter to Mr. Tappan: In response to your criticism of police officers and firefighters relative to the health effects after 9/11, you expect a lot of heat for writing your opinions. I’m glad you do, because I am about to give you some. A little of my personal background involves being a police officer in Massachusetts for the past 26 years with an unblemished, distinguished and decorated career. I personally traveled to Ground Zero after the terrorists attacks on 9/11 to assist with the massive recovery efforts and to provide Critical Incident Stress Management to hundreds of police officers and firefighters. I have not filed any claims for respiratory disorders even though I developed asthma years after. You are correct that we are trained to use certain gear that will provide a “certain” level of protection in situations such as this. In my case, I was provided with a cotton face shield similar to what doctors wear during surgery. Was this the adequate protection you are talking about? The same way the military provided protection for you with agent orange chemicals in Vietnam? Yet, years after the war, thousands of your Vietnam comrades died as a result of defoliant exposure spread by our own government. Am I correct in assuming that you are telling me your fellow soldiers who died years after the war are at fault for there own deaths not wearing the protective gear that was provided to them? As far as your comments regarding an, “urgent situation,” are you kidding me? These men and women of the New York Police Department, the Port Authority, and the firefighters were instantly searching for their friends in a massive amount of debris, that was beyond comprehension to anyone who wasn’t there. No one knew what

LETTERS Ward Bird should be released while pardon request runs its course To the editor, An open letter to Gov. Lynch and Councilor Burton: Mr. Ward Bird sits in jail based on accusation of a trespasser who ignored earlier warnings, multiple signs and finally verbal requests to leave. Both of you being politicians must have a well formed opinion of accusation and hope the voting public can discern reality. But in our courts reality is not allowed, Judges “instruct” the jury on what they may consider, jurors are “picked” by lawyers on either side, and evidence and history are withheld. A charge of misdemeanor is elevated to criminal in this case by a county attorney. I have read the N.H. Supreme Court opinion, and many other related documents of the case. I have also read the N.H. pardon process for felonies, also read the law to go into effect Jan. 1 protecting the right of defending one’s person and property by displaying a weapon. I’m not being “smart” in stating that I presume both of you are aware of the details of the case; the NH Constitution does not complicate the
power of pardon as written, which is to say the Governor and Council are unrestricted and given “free will and conscience” in issuing pardons. I well understand “precedence” in law and also that it can’t constitutionally be given standing in pardons. All this said, Ward Bird I believe could in the least be released from custody until the process of pardon has run its course; especially to be with his family at Christmas and New Years. Mr. Bird is not a well man, having had a serious operation only weeks prior to the incident, lived since then under the stress and duress of serving jail time and now is, for what not only he but many others believe is a first right of a citizen to protect one’s life and property and which Jan. 1st under law will be all of our right to do so. I would implore you to give his wife and children the gift of the loving father and the citizens of this state the gift of belief of some level of justice, knowledge a Governor and Councilor have as much courage as this citizen. G.W. Brooks Meredith
Washington and Adams would have never signed such a statement To the editor, May I make a response to professor Sandy’s article on the Treaty of Tripoly? Taken from “Christianity and the Constitution” by John Eidsmore. And Treaties and other International Agreements of the United States of America, 1776-1949”: “Most extraordinary is the fact that Article 11 of the Barlow translation with its famous phrase,” the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion,” does not exist at all. There is no Article 11. The Arabic text between articles 10 and 12 is in the form of a letter, crude and flamboyant and withal quite unimportant, from the
Dey of Algiers to the Pasha of Tripoli. How the script came to be written and be regarded, as in the Barlow translation, as Article 11 of the treaty as there written is a mystery” Piracy continued despite the treaty. in 1801 the United States went to war with Tripoli. A new treaty with Tripoli, which does not contain the phrase in question, was accepted on April 17, 1806. Both George Washington and John Adams would never have put their names to such a statement. Our Founding Fathers were determined to create a government tolerant of all religions. They knew their history very well. see next page

Laconia Police will have its own 50% OFF drug unit as of the first of the year Reg. $39.99 LACONIA – Come the new year, the Police Department will mount its own full-time drug unit, which will not only pursue drug traffickers but also discourage drug use. Earlier this year the department decided to withdraw from the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Drug Task Force, to which it had assigned an officer since the team was formed two decades ago. Chief Mike Moyer told the Police Commission yesterday that the officer serving on the task force ranged between Franklin and the Canadian border and the
trade and abuse of drugs in the city required a stronger, more continuous police presence. Moyer said that Detective Chris Noyes would head the unit, with assistance from Detective Scott Roy, the most recent officer assigned to the task whose experience would be invaluable. He said that although the department would forego the $30,000 in reimbursement from the state, the formation of the unit would have no impact on the department’s operating budget. — Michael Kitch
SHAKER from page one property values are relatively lower and student enrollment is relatively higher. A two-percent rise in the budget would boost the school portion of the tax rate in Belmont by nearly fourpercent while in Canterbury the tax rate would fall almost five-percent. Debbie Gay, Business Administrator, explained that the administration proposed a budget of $19,357,856 for 2011-2012, eight-percent higher than the current budget of $17,833,935. To pare the increase to two-percent, the board’s Finance Committee is working to reduce the administration’s proposal by $1,142,544 to $18,215,312. Gay said that the committee has yet to specify the reductions it will recommend, but will meet on December 30 and again on January 6 before presenting its proposal to the board on
January 13. Board members were given binders last night that contained the details of the administration’s budget proposal. They were received without comment. Gay said that the rise in the budget was driven by increases in contractual obligations and other non-discretionary expenditures. In a prepared statement issued last week Mark Blount, superintendent of schools, said that “the only way to achieve these levels of cuts is by the elimination and/or reduction of staff, proposed technology purchases, building maintenance, co-curricular and athletic programs, as well as classroom supplies and furniture.” Public hearings on the budget will be held in Belmont on February 15 and in Canterbury on February 16, after which the board is expected to adopt its budget.

WikiLeaks founder bailed from English jail, back to publishing secrets LONDON (AP) — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was released on bail Thursday — confined to a supporter’s 600-acre estate but free to get back to work spilling U.S. government secrets on his website as he fights Sweden’s attempt to extradite him on allegations of rape and molestation. The silver-haired Australian, who surrendered to British police Dec. 7, will have to observe a curfew, wear an electronic tag and report to police in person every day. But there are no restrictions on his Internet use, even as U.S. authorities consider charges related to thousands of leaked diplomatic cables and other secret documents WikiLeaks has released. The site has released just 1,621 of the more than 250,000 State Department documents it claims to possess, many of them containing critical or embarrassing U.S. assessments of foreign nations and their leaders. Dressed in a dark gray suit, Assange emerged from London’s neo-Gothic High Court building late Thursday following a tense scramble to gather the money and signatures needed to free him. Speaking under a light snowfall amid a barrage of flash bulbs, Assange — who’s been out of the public eye for more than a month — told supporters he will continue bringing government secrets to light. “It’s great to smell the fresh air of London again,” he said to cheers from outside the court. “I hope to continue my work.” Assange ignored shouted questions from the assembled media. Later, BBC footage captured the 39-year-old riding in a white armored four-by-four outside the Frontline
Club, a venue for journalists owned by his friend and supporter Vaughan Smith. The broadcaster reported that Assange jumped upstairs for a celebratory cocktail at the bar, then went back outside to engage in a brief verbal joust with journalists over the merits of one of the leaked cables. A few hours later, Assange arrived at Ellingham Hall, Smith’s 10-bedroom mansion about 120 miles (195 kilometers) northeast of central London. Assange told journalists there that his time in prison had steeled him, giving him time to reflect on his personal philosophy and “enough anger about the situation to last me 100 years.” Assange was granted conditional bail Tuesday, but prosecutors appealed, arguing that he might abscond. High Court Justice Duncan Ouseley rejected the appeal Thursday, saying Assange “would diminish himself in the eyes of many of his supporters” if he fled. “I don’t accept that Mr. Assange has an incentive not to attend (court),” Ouseley said. “He clearly does have some desire to clear his name.” WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson had said Assange might have to spend one more night behind bars anyway, because of difficulties producing the 200,000 pounds ($316,000) bail pledged by several wealthy supporters, including filmmaker Michael Moore. But lawyers managed to collect the money quickly. The restrictions Ouseley imposed on Assange amount to “virtual house arrest,” Hrafnsson said. But he added that Assange can still use Smith’s estate as a base for coordinating the publication of the leaked cables.
“There is a good Internet connection there,” he noted. The subject of whether Assange should have Internet access was never raised in court. WikiLeaks continued publishing documents even while Assange was in prison — including a new batch that hit the Web two hours ahead of his release. “We have seen in the week I have been away that my team is robust,” Assange told the BBC outside the Frontline Club. “It does show the resilience of the organization, that it can withstand decapitation attacks.” The publication of the cables has angered U.S. government officials, embarrassed allies and nettled rivals. The U.S. State Department says that international partners have curtailed their dealings with Washington as a result of the cable leaks, and have gone on the offense in a bid to limit the diplomatic fallout. Assange insists that publishing the documents was essential to expose government wrongdoing. In particular, he has referred repeatedly to one cable that asked diplomats to gather information on United Nations staff such as their passwords, frequent flier numbers and even biometric information. State Department officials say the cable originated from the U.S. intelligence community and deny Assange’s contention that it ordered diplomats to spy. On Thursday, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva continued America’s damage-control
efforts over the document. “I just want to assure everybody we’re not collecting data on U.N. officials,” Betty E. King told reporters in Geneva. U.S. officials are investigating WikiLeaks and considering charges against Assange, a case that if pursued could end up pitting the government’s efforts to protect sensitive information against press and speech freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment. The government suspects WikiLeaks received the documents from an Army private, Bradley Manning, who is in the brig on charges of leaking other classified documents to the organization. Australia’s prime minister said Thursday that police determined that WikiLeaks did not break any laws in the country. The government had ordered the Australian Federal Police to investigate whether the website had broken local laws in publishing sensitive U.S. diplomatic documents leaked to it because Assange is Australian. Assange was arrested not because of WikiLeaks, but because Swedish officials are seeking him for questioning on allegations stemming from separate encounters with a pair of women in Sweden over the summer. The women have accused Assange of rape, molestation and unlawful coercion. Assange denies the allegations, which his lawyers say stem from a dispute over “consensual but unprotected sex.”
Calif. okays major greenhouse gas rules SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California regulators on Thursday approved the first system in the nation to give polluting companies such as utilities and refineries financial incentives to emit fewer greenhouse gases. The Air Resources Board voted 9-1 to pass the key piece of California’s 2006 climate law — called AB32 — with the hope that other states will follow the lead of the world’s eighth largest economy. State officials also are discussing plans to link the new system with similar ones under way or being planned in Canada, Europe and Asia. California is launching into a “historic adventure,” said Mary Nichols, chairwoman of the state’s air quality board. “We’re inventing this,” she said. “There is still going to be quite a bit
of action needed before it becomes operational.” California is trying to “fill the vacuum created by the failure of Congress to pass any kind of climate or energy legislation for many years now,” said Nichols. A standing-room only board chambers featured testimony from more than 170 witnesses Thursday. Outside the chambers, a few climate change skeptics held signs reading “Global Warming: Science by Homer Simpson.” Some businesses that would fall under the new rules say the system could dampen California’s already flagging economy, complicate lawmakers’ efforts to close a $28.1 billion revenue shortfall and lead to an increase in the price of electricity.
GUINTA from page one standards committee told Guinta that it had reviewed his reports and determined that they are in substantial compliance with the federal ethics laws. Guinta’s finances first came under fire by his rivals in the Republican primary, and Shea-Porter kept up the criticism during the general election. During the campaign, Guinta, 40, flatly denied the money was an illegal campaign donation and said his wife saved it working in the private sector
before he was elected mayor in 2005. Guinta’s chief of staff declined to comment Thursday. The office has not yet received the FEC letter. The Democrats’ complaint must overcome several hurdles before the FEC starts investigating. An FEC staffer would have to recommend that the commission investigate and four commissioners would have to agree. During an investigation, the commission has the power to subpoena documents and individuals.

LACONIA — After a dozen years of service as a Belknap County commissioner, Christopher Boothby is preparing to leave his seat to pursue business ventures in Nicaragua. First, though, he was treated to a send-off celebration at the commissioner’s meeting room, which featured the recollections — some which Boothby may wish were forgotten — of fellow Commissioner Ed Philpot as well as mentor and Executive Councilor Ray Burton and Laconia Mayor Mike Seymour. “Christopher has a very interesting management style,” recalled Philpot, who noted that Burton taught Boothby many things, but one lesson that didn’t take was the one on tact. “When you doesn’t like something, you’ve got to hold back,” Philpot told Boothby, reminding him of one particular meeting when the commission was discussing a trash hauling contract and Boothby muttered something away

from the microphone, then looked straight at the camera and exclaimed, “Did you hear that? I hate Waste Management.” “One of the things that Christopher has taught us is that there’s always room for temper tantrums.” Philpot said there would be many times when Boothby would become heated by a discussion and demand – “immediately” to meet with elected officials all the way up to the governor’s office. The attitude occasionally would yield benefits, Philpot begrudged. On one occasion, he remembered how Boothby was moved to drive to Concord and walk into the governor’s office, demanding an audience. After being told that Governor Craig Benson was not in, Boothby took it upon himself to walk into the governor’s office to find that Benson was, in fact, present and able to speak. “This has been one of the very true pleasures of my life, to meet this man and work with him.

Red Sox said to be signing deal with Chicago closer Bobby Jenks BOSTON (AP) — Former Chicago White Sox closer Bobby Jenks has agreed to a $12 million, two-year contract with the Boston Red Sox, a person familiar with negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet final. The agreement was first reported by ESPN.com. In addition, the Red Sox agreed to an $875,000, one-year contract with right-handed reliever Matt Albers and sent utilityman Eric Patterson to the San Diego Padres to complete the trade for first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. Jenks has the chance to earn more with performance bonuses. He saved 27 games last season but
lost his closing job at the end of the year when he struggled with injuries. Jenks was second in White Sox history with 173 saves since joining Chicago midseason in 2005 and helping the club win its first World Series since 1917. He had four saves in the postseason, pitching in all four Series games during a sweep of the Houston Astros. Jenks saved 81 games over the next two years. But last season, when he earned $7.5 million, he missed the final 27 games with ulnar neuritis in his right forearm. General manager Kenny Williams said he would consider bringing Jenks back at a lower salary.
DENTIST from page one Street in Laconia, Missy is a general dentist specializing in children – are in high demand. The Kennells moved to the area five years ago. Missy’s been working at the Dental Resource Center, which is affiliated with LRGHealthcare, where she’s witnessed first-hand the demand for dentists who will treat children, especially those who are covered under the state’s Healthy Kids insurance program. “We’re closed to new patients all the time, so I decided to go off on my own,” Missy said. Her new practice, Children’s Dentistry of the Lakes Region, won’t open until February, but she’s already got a full appointment book for the first two weeks of her practice’s operation. “It’s a huge need for children’s dentistry up here.” Since she was a teenager, Missy said, she’s wanted to care for children. For the past five years, she’s exclusively served young patients, from infants to teenagers, and she has no desire to treat adults. “They’re bigger babies than the kids,” she said. Missy has found treating children to be a surprisingly simple task. “If you can gain their trust, and
treat them well, they’ll do anything for you,” she said. By keeping a fun, light-hearted attitude and by explaining all the tools and techniques she plans to use at the beginning of the appointment, Missy said most children will relax and make it through the procedures without the need for her to use nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas.” “If they don’t trust you, that’s why they get scared.” Missy’s practice, when it opens, will be the region’s sole dental facility specializing in children. The next closest similar practices are in Concord and Rochester. “Access to care is a huge problem – most practices won’t take Healthy Kids,” Missy said. Children’s Dentistry of the Lakes Region is being constructed within a 2,900 square-foot unit in the building at 369 Hounsell Avenue in Gilford, a building within the Lakes Business Park, just south of Piche’s Ski & Sport Shop. Missy said the practice will take a cue from her husband’s practice and will be designed and decorated with its young clientele in mind. The phone number for Kennell’s practice is 5272500.
from preceding page just pretending to care, he really does,” said Philpot. Burton said he first met Boothby when the thengraduate student asked to be a part of the councilor’s intern program. When Burton told Boothby that he wasn’t qualified to look over a graduate student, the incorrigible Boothby told the veteran politician, “That’s okay, I’ll supervise you.” Burton told the crowd, “We haven’t heard the last of him.” Boothby, a resident of Meredith, was presented with many gifts, including a gavel from Philpot, a chair bearing the seal of Belknap County, a letter signed by Governor John Lynch and lastly, a gift from Seymour. One of the efforts that benefited from Boothby’s volunteering was WLNH’s Annual Children’s Auction, as Seymour recalled. After five days of auctioning items, he said, it’s natural for presenters to become
“punchy.” In light of his most recent effort, Seymour presented Boothby with a “greatest sales pitch ever” plaque. Toward the auction’s end, Seymour explained, Boothby was faced with the task of soliciting bids for a rubber rooster dog toy. Boothby said on the air, “has anyone been stupid enough to bid on this yet?” Along with the plaque, Seymour also gave Boothby one such rubber rooster. Other send-offs were offered by Rep. Alida Millham, chair of the Belknap County Convention, and Eileen Bolander, president of the New Hampshire Association of Counties. When Boothby was given a chance to speak, he expressed gratitude for his colleagues and mentors, the employees of the county, his parents and especially his wife Maren. Boothby will be replaced on the commission by Steve Nedeau of Meredith.

Looking for a white Christmas? Try North Carolina & Georgia In metro Atlanta and north Georgia, icy conditions Thursday morning prompted road closures a day after slick surfaces caused hundreds of accidents. Temperatures had warmed and the ice had melted by midday. Ice also covered roads early Thursday in Louisville, Ky., and parts of Tennessee. Those who ventured out had to allow time to clear ice that coated nearly everything, from cars to walkways to the sides of buildings. In Missouri, the freezing rain began Wednesday night and continued into Thursday morning, with the Missouri State Highway Patrol reporting numerous accidents. In Ohio, plows were out in counties near the Ohio River. A spokeswoman for Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky

motion to amend the number down by $100,000. Stewart’s reasoning was that if the School Board chooses to eliminate the superintendent, the district would need to hire an assistant principal for the elementary school which would cost about $100,000, including benefits. He added the remaining $74,000 in the salary line to his recommendation to eliminate $5,500 in school board member stipends and $17,500 in administrative raises to come up with $97,000. He said the school board could come up with the other $3,000 just about anywhere. Six people voted for the motion and six people voted against, meaning the motion failed. Dale Dormody, with Fred Butler seconding, amended the motion to eliminate only the stipends and the administrator raises and it passed by a vote of 8-to-4. But it’s not quite over. Murphy said he would be recommending a number of line item reductions at the January meeting that the committee will have to decide on their merits. In other action, the Budget Committee voted to accept the elementary school budget of $2,554,059, which includes full-day kindergarten but did not increase the overall elementary budget. Principal Dr. John “Jack” Billings was able to accomplish full-day kindergarten without increasing the budget by reassigning existing staff and saving $22,000 from the transportation contract by eliminating the mid-day kindergarten run.

GILFORD from page one like Gilford is allowed under state law to operate without a superintendent. Tejada, who is also a longtime member of the Hampstead School Board, said he was not there to make any kind of recommendations as to what Gilford should do, only to explain to the Budget Committee a little more about a different education management model and whether or not it is allowed. It was Budget Committee member David “Skip” Murphy’s recommendation last week that the committee at least hear from Tejada regarding a different model before deciding whether or not to eliminate the $174,000 — the number includes a benefit package — budgeted in 2011-12 for a new superintendent. One of the issues that provided impetus for the discussion surrounding the superintendent was the 3 1/2 percent increase in the requested budget for the school while the town budget came in with no increases. “Education is a service and there is a cost to that,” said Murphy. “I believe this budget is too high.” Driving the recommended increase is a three percent raise to unionized teachers — a contractual agreement — and a two percent increase for support staff and administrators, who are not unionized. After hearing about the alternative management theory and and objections from parents about eliminating the superintendent’s position, a motion was made and seconded to accept the full $8,598, 258. Terry Stewart, with a little prompting from Chair Richard Hickok made a
“Although it’s unusual to have to call off school because of wintry conditions this early in the school year, student safety always comes first,” superintendent Mary Ronan said.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Snow, sleet and freezing rain wreaked havoc across Mid-Atlantic and Southern states on Thursday, causing hundreds of accidents, four fatal. The nasty pre-winter mix also forced schools to start late, close early or cancel classes altogether. Three people died in separate weather-related crashes in North Carolina. In south-central Kentucky, state police said an 80-year-old man died when his sport-utility vehicle hit a patch of ice, ran off the road and overturned. Thousands of people in North Carolina and in Virginia lost power, and West Virginia’s acting governor was forced to cancel a Christmas party scheduled for Thursday night at the Governor’s Mansion.

Garnett leads Celtics to 12th straight win BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Celtics have had one important constant during the recent rash of injuries — the Big Three are still healthy. Kevin Garnett had 17 points and 14 rebounds — one of three Boston players with a double-double — to lead the Celtics to their 12th straight win, 102-90 over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night. Paul Pierce had 15 points and 10 assists and Glen “Big Baby” Davis had 18 points and 10 rebounds. Ray Allen scored 18 points and Nate Robinson had 14 for the Celtics (21-4). “We feel we should win the game. On most nights we’re playing three or four all-stars,” said Pierce, who played as a “point-forward” for much of the second half, handling the ball a lot and setting up Allen for open looks with solid passes. Boston point guard Rajon Rondo missed the game after spraining his left ankle in Wednesday’s win at New York. He’s expected to be sidelined at least a week. Center Shaquille O’Neal was also out, missing his fourth straight game with a sore right calf. The Celtics were already without Delonte West and Jermaine O’Neal. It didn’t matter because Pierce, Allen, and Garnett got just enough help from the role players. The Celtics beat an Atlanta team that was called more athletic while defeating Boston in all four meetings last season. “Kevin’s healthy,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said was the difference in the games from last season. “You can stop there, and Paul’s healthy. The funny
thing is it’s the younger guys getting injured.” Garnett said the Celtics won’t let the injuries bother them. “What are you going to do?” he said. “Quit. Put your clothes on and go home? That’s not what we do here.” Marvin Williams had a season-best 26 points and Jeff Teague scored 18 for the Hawks. “They still had three Hall of Famers out there,” said Hawks forward Josh Smith, who scored just one point on 0-for-8 shooting. “I’m not making excuses, but we still had two of our main scorers out also.” The Hawks shot 50 percent for the game, but were hurt by 18 turnovers. Boston led by six points entering the final quarter, but the Hawks closed within 77-75 on Teague’s onehanded runner in the lane. The Celtics then scored seven straight points, with Davis and Semih Erden sandwiching baskets around a 3-pointer by Pierce, making it 84-77 with just under eight minutes to play. Atlanta sliced it to 84-78 on Damien Wilkins’ free throw, but Pierce hit two free throws and Robinson nailed a 3, helping Boston pull safely in front. Allen’s 3-pointer made it 100-86 with 1:53 left. The Celtics — behind Allen’s 10 points — took a 73-63 lead late in the third quarter. Coming off screens and getting wide-open looks, Allen hit his first three shots of the quarter. But the Hawks stayed close because of some good outside shooting of their own, hitting 65 percent from the field (11 of 17).
MONTREAL (AP) — The Montreal Canadiens stopped their longest slide of the season just in time to avoid dropping out of the Northeast Division lead. Max Pacioretty had a goal and an assist and Scott Gomez also had two points as Montreal ended a three-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night. Michael Cammalleri scored on a penalty shot 1:04 in. Maxim Lapierre and Brian Gionta also scored and Carey Price stopped 34 shots for the Canadiens, who remained in first place in the Northeast with 40 points. “That’s a big game,” said Price, who got his league-
leading 18th win. “Those games are obviously fourpoint games. We’re tied if they win that one — they actually move ahead of us — so that was one that we really needed.” Boston’s Marc Savard had a goal and an assist, and Patrice Bergeron got his second assist of the game on Milan Lucic’s goal with 4:50 left in the third. Blake Wheeler also scored and Tim Thomas made 37 saves for the Bruins, who now trail the Canadiens by four points. “We dug ourselves a hole again and tried to claw out of it but it’s tough to continue to claw out of those holes each and every night,” Wheeler said.

Charles E. Carr of House and Barn Restoration wins bid to restore Minot-Sleeper Library windows
S TATE I NSPECTION $ $ .95 29 .95
BRISTOL — Charles E. Carr of House and Barn Restoration, LLC of Bristol has won the bid to repair and restore the storm windows in the Minot-Sleeper Library. The Library, built in 1885, received a Rural Development Grant in 2010 specifically for restoration of the original 14 first-floor windows — elegantly curved two-over-two Gothic peaks. Carr’s work will include complete stripping, priming, glazing, and finishing. He will also furnish and install historically-sensitive and energy efficient storm windows with interior removable storm and screen panels. The need for the window restoration is very important to improve the fuel efficiency of the library and reduce heating and cooling costs. The glazing on the windows now is virtually gone and the librarians are only able to open a couple of the windows because of disrepair. Carr will first take out one window at a time for repair leaving a protective window cover in place so patrons can continue to enjoy all the Library has to offer. He will put the entire window in a steam box to soften and strip off the old window putty repairing the windows as necessary. He will follow every safety precaution when removing and disposing of the lead paint that was used on the original windows. After he installs the newly repaired windows, he will build and install the new storm windows using mortis and tenon joinery. The library trustees reviewed all the qualifications and plans submitted by multiple bidders. According to trustee Barbara Greenwood, Carr won the bid not only because of his cost estimate and use of wood rather than aluminum, but also because he is a lifelong Newfound area resident.
Carr’s grandfather owned the Carr Company, which is now Dead River, and he grew up across the street from the Library. When the opportunity arose several years ago, he dismantled, moved, and re-assembled his childhood home where he now lives and operates his business. The trustees will continue to make an earnest effort to use local contractors whenever possible when restoring the current library and moving forward with the library expansion project. In addition to stimulating the local economy, the board is focused on creating a sustainable space. When asked how eco-friendly his work is, Carr said, “Both my house and workshop run on solar power and the majority of the wood I use is locally harvested and milled.” The Library will remain open during the window repair and renovation. This restoration will not only save the Town money, but will restore the former luster of the Library, which is listed in the National Register of Historical Places.
LACONIA — The Lakes Region Community Emergency Response Team (LR-CERT) was called into action twice by the Laconia Police Department to assist with traffic control. The first occasion was on Sunday evening, November 21, when a multi-unit apartment building on Union Avenue caught fire. Traffic had to be restricted on Union Avenue and the surrounding streets. At the same time, the police were responding to an armed robbery on Court Street. CERT volunteers were able to take over traffic duties, allowing the police to attend to crowd control at the scene and also investigate the robbery.
The team also assisted police on Sunday, November 28 when an early morning fire broke out on Mechanic Street in Lakeport. Again, several streets had to be closed to allow the fire department to douse the flames. The CERT Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others see CERT page 23

By Holiday Mathis a giver, and you will be happiest in the act of giving. It will only take one small act to make someone else happy. And when you see their smile, it brightens your day, as well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Somehow it’s easier to be happy about a gift if you feel that you are the only one in the world who has it. This is something to be mindful of as you shop for your loved ones today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you’re judging someone else, it means there is a part of you that wants to have or be the very thing that you’re judging. You’ll move past this by going for what you want instead of criticizing those who have it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Great news: Any problem that was created by you can be solved by you. And if you didn’t create the problem, you might still be able to solve it after you recognize and change your participation in it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can benefit from getting lost, especially if it’s in a small enough place that you can easily find your way out. A library, bookstore, gym or workshop will provide the perfect opportunity for getting lost within reason. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 17). You rise to your own high standards this year, so don’t forget to reward yourself. You’ll be the darling of your work environment in January. March brings a conquest that you’ll be talking about for years to come. May brings romance and tenderness. July is your chance to show the world what you can do. Aquarius and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 15, 39, 22 and 14.

HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). What if you demanded absolutely nothing of yourself for a whole day? This isn’t the day for it because you already have so much on your plate, but you can plan a do-nothing day next week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Maybe it’s not the deadline that’s driving you, or the audience or your boss. When you take away the pressure to perform, what you’ll have instead is the sheer will to do so. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). How many leads can you generate? How many sales come from those leads? These kinds of number games will excite you. And you have a unique approach to the games, too. You’ll play the odds and change. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A friend becomes the target of your thoughts. It has been a long while since you connected with this person, and it will bring you good fortune to do so now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you think too deeply about it, ordinary discourse becomes layered with intrigue and complication. You’ll be more productive if you stay sensible and tend to only the most pressing issue of the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You rarely nap during the day, but you might make an exception. After a 20-minute catnap, you’ll emerge more creative, stronger and more tolerant of those around you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll see the opportunity that others don’t. Because of this, you’ll stand alone. It will feel odd at first, but make no mistake: The advantage is all yours. If you’re the only one going for the position, you’re bound to win.

FRIDAY PRIME TIME
Today is Friday, Dec. 17, the 351st day of 2010. There are 14 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton, Ohio, conducted the first successful manned powered-airplane flights, near Kitty Hawk, N.C., using their experimental craft, the Wright Flyer. On this date: In 1777, France recognized American independence. In 1925, Col. William “Billy” Mitchell was convicted at his court-martial in Washington, D.C. of insubordination for accusing senior military officials of incompetence and criminal negligence. In 1939, the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee was scuttled by its crew, ending the World War II Battle of the River Plate off Uruguay. In 1957, the United States successfully test-fired the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time. In 1960, a London-bound Convair Samaritan operated by the U.S. Air Force crashed shortly after takeoff from Munich, West Germany, killing all 20 occupants of the plane, including 13 University of Maryland students, and 32 people on the ground.

OBITUARY
James N. “Jim” McBride, 77
LACONIA — James N. McBride, “Jim”, 77, a long time Laconia resident, passed away on Thursday, December 16, 2010 following a valiant battle against the ravages of Alzheimer’s disease. Jim was born October 3, 1933 in Boston, Mass., the son of the late Harold Patrick and Mary (Newton) McBride. He received his B.A. degree in English literature from Boston College and his MEd from Plymouth State College. Jim was an English teacher, chair of the English Department, vice principal and principal at Laconia High School for more than 20 years. He was later employed as a trainer in the mortgage department at the Boston Five Cents Savings Bank (Citizen’s Bank) in Boston. Jim loved to travel and, accompanied by his mother, he especially enjoyed a tour of Iran given by his brother, David, who spent a number of years in the country. He had a great fondness for the ocean and the quaint, coastal village of Lubec, Maine. Jim was a member of SCORE both in Boston and in Laconia. He was a volunteer at the Trinity Church, Boston in a mentoring program with juvenile offenders in local prisons. Jim also taught English composition at SNHU in Gilford and conducted seminars in the Bible and comparative literature at St. Joseph’s Church in Laconia. Jim is survived by his brother, David H. McBride,
of Laconia and three cousins. He also leaves former students, colleagues and friends who were especially kind to him during his illness: Tom O’Shea, Tom Glavin, Katherine Reardon, Brian Frost, the Mikulis family, David R. Knapp, Paul Cotton, the Randal Giddings, Muriel and Pat Keogh, Chris Gatti, Dennis and Sue Baker, Peter Zarilla, Joe Dombeck, Mark and Kim Edgerly, Tara Columb and Margarite Sampson. A special thanks to Ellie Jacques, Louise Ellis, Christopher Guilmett and John Inglis of the Laconia Savings Bank; Betty Ballantyne and the Irwin’s staff; the staff of the Laconia Post Office and the compassionate, caring of the nursing staff at the Taylor Community. A Graveside Service will be held in the spring at the family lot in Bay View Cemetery, Lubec, Maine. Memorial donations in Jim’s memory may be made payable to Children’s Hospital Boston, Children’s Hospital Trust, 1 Autumn Street #731, Boston, MA 02215-5301 or to the McBride Family Endowment, Lubec Public Library, Main Street, Lubec, Maine 04652. Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H. is assisting the family. For more information and to view an online memorial go to www. wilkinsonbeane.com.
Correction: LifeQuest Church’s Christmas event is Saturday LACONIA — A headline that appeared over an article in yesterday’s newspaper contained inaccurate information. The Christmas Celebration for Kids, hosted by LifeQuest Church, will be held on Satuday, December 18, at the church from 10 a.m.
to noon. The program will include a telling of the story of Christ’s birth, singing of carols, a movie and a ventriloquist. Parents and guardians are invited to attend and refreshments will be served.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: How do you deal with people who simply delete their family from their lives? There was no argument or complicated situation. All of a sudden, they are not returning phone calls or e-mails. My sister has done this for the second time, and now my husband’s nephew has cut everyone off. “Dennis” hasn’t spoken to the family for 18 months. I haven’t spoken to my sister for a year. We’ve made many attempts to get in touch, but my sister won’t respond, and our nephew specifically told us to stay away from his home and work. In both cases, I suspect the catalyst was their own marital problems. In the past year, there have been some serious health problems with Dennis’ family. When his mother and grandmother were both in the hospital, he was called to see if he could help out with Grandpa, who was home alone and very feeble. He refused. Dennis and his family are missed so much. My sister lives in her self-imposed isolation. She has not come home or visited her mother in four years. I have given up trying to reach her. It hurts too much waiting to see if she will respond and dealing with the rejection when she does not. What are their children told when grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins are suddenly gone from their lives? I find it hard to understand how a person could go about their lives with no thought for those who love and miss them. Is it selfishness? Any advice? -- Deleted in Ohio Dear Ohio: There are myriad reasons for such behavior. Your nephew’s wife may have demanded no contact. Your sister’s childhood experiences may trouble her in ways you don’t understand. They may find family obligations too stressful. They may suffer from mental illness. We agree that cutting off loved ones without explanation is not the best option, but you cannot make them respond differently. Send a
holiday card without any expectations, and perhaps one day they will find their way back home. Dear Annie: When the dental hygienist cleans my teeth, she asks about my flossing and brushing habits. I do both regularly, but she still chastises and lectures me about the importance of my daily habits. Then she tries to get me to buy the electric toothbrush the office sells. My brother, who uses the same dentist, was told they’d stop treating his family if he didn’t buy the toothbrush. Between the high-pressure sales pitch and the lecture, I dread my next checkup. His office is convenient and offers late hours, so I’d rather not change dentists. How do I stop this without getting a “white knuckle” cleaning in retaliation? -- M. Dear M.: This is appalling. You should inform your dentist of your objections to this aggressive hard-sell and make it clear that you will find another dentist if you aren’t treated with more respect. If things don’t improve, we hope you will find a more ethical practitioner, regardless of the convenience. (Your brother may also want to contact your state or local dental association to file a complaint.) Dear Annie: I could have written the letter from “The Thrill is Gone” word for word. He said his wife of 35 years is wonderful but refuses all attempts at intimacy. My wife got everything she wanted in life from me -- children, financial security and a solid marriage. When I finally reached my limit on a sexless marriage, she had the temerity to demand counseling. I divorced her, and for the past 20 years, she has been living with her lesbian lover with whom she had an ongoing affair for the last five years of our 21year marriage. Tell “Thrill” to look a little deeper. -- Older but Wiser

CONCORD — Free Snowmobile Safety classes are now underway throughout the state and parents and children are urged to sign up now. To operate a snowmobile in New Hampshire, any person age 12 or older must have either a valid Motor Vehicle Driver’s License or have successfully completed an approved Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle (OHRV) Safety Education class taught by volunteer instructors trained by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. Additionally, all children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a licensed adult when operating a snowmobile unless they are on property belonging to their parents, grandparents, or guardians. “Snowmobiling is a great way for families to have fun exploring the great outdoors, but riders have a responsibility to obey the rules of the trails, to be courteous and — most of all — to ride safely,” said Captain John Wimsatt, who coordinates Fish and Game’s OHRV Education Program. Many of the trained volunteer instructors teaching the safety classes are affiliated with one of the more than 100 snowmobile clubs in New Hamp-
shire. “Joining a snowmobile club is a great way to learn about safe riding and help maintain trails for your own and others’ enjoyment,” Wimsatt said, noting that club membership also gives riders a $30 discount on snowmobile registration fees. The New Hampshire Snowmobile Association (NHSA) and its member clubs have actively promoted safe and responsible riding since 1969. NHSA members work with Fish and Game to manage over 7,000 miles of trails in New Hampshire and provide safety education to more than 2,500 children each year. In addition to safety education, Fish and Game Conservation Officers will use innovative enforcement patrols to detect and apprehend impaired snowmobile operators and monitor for speed enforcement and modified exhaust regulations. These ongoing initiatives will help to keep the state’s snowmobile trails safe for all outdoor enthusiasts during the upcoming season. Snowmobile Safety classes are usually completed in a single day. For a current class schedule, visit http://www.ride.nh.gov.

FRANKLIN — Franklin Regional Hospital recently held an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newly renovated Emergency Department during a Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours event. With all-private patient rooms,
new exam rooms, enhanced patient privacy, infection control, and comfort, the changes promise to improve patients’ experience in the Emergency Department and will better position the Department to meet today’s quality, privacy, and infection control standards.
LACONIA — The Congregational Church of Laconia, United Church of Christ has welcomed Paula Gile in her new role as Associate Pastor. “The process to call an associate pastor began a little over a year ago,” said the Rev. Dr. Warren Bouton, the church’s senior pastor. “It began with a congregational conversation about who we are as a church and the way we want to reach out in ministry to the community. Ultimately, we concluded that as a downtown church
we needed someone on our staff to focus on mission to the community and education for all ages within the congregation. Thankfully, after many months of very hard work, our search committee found Paula.” Gile, a recent graduate of Andover Newton Theological School with a Master of Divinity degree, also holds degrees in Elementary Education and Counseling and has served for the last 8 years see next page

Inns and Spa at Mill Falls supports Winnipesaukee Playhouse with purchase of $100k in tax credits
LACONIA — Another area business, Hampshire Hospitality Holdings, the parent company of The Inns and Spa at Mill Falls, has shown its commitment to bringing the Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s Meredith Campus to life by “purchasing” $100,000 worth of tax credits towards the Playhouse’s Capital Campaign. This donation will contribute to the Playhouse’s efforts to convert the former Annalee Doll complex on Reservoir Road into a state-of-the-art theatre campus to be used for performances and theatre education year round. Rusty McLear, president and CEO of the Inns at Mill Falls, said, “We are excited and proud to support The Winnipesaukee Playhouse and welcome this exceptional project to Meredith. The cultural, educational, and community building aspect of their programs will add a great deal to our town and the entire Lakes Region. We look forward to a long and productive relationship with The Winnipesaukee Playhouse.” The Inns join the previously announced Laconia Savings Bank in support of this ambitious project. The Playhouse was awarded $500,000 of tax credits to sell to area businesses by the NH Community Development Finance Authority. The Tax Credit Program provides businesses a unique opportunity to contribute to the Playhouse’s capital campaign and receive a 75 percent State tax credit for that contribution. The Playhouse’s Executive Director, Bryan Halperin, said, “As we plan for the future of the Playhouse in Meredith, it is essential to have support from individual donors as well as the business leaders of the community. Once again, The Inns and Spa at Mill Falls have shown their commitment to improving community life in the Lakes Region. We

hope to have a long future of working together with Rusty and the Mill Falls team to attract new residents and visitors to the Lakes Region for lodging, dining, arts, and culture.” The $100,000 commitment of the Inns will be matched by the $1 million matching challenge that a local couple has generously offered toward the Playhouse’s Capital Campaign. The Playhouse was one of 12 projects awarded credits by the NHCDFA, which was created by legislation in 1983 as a non-profit public instrumentality of the State of New Hampshire. The entity also administers Community Development Block Grants and Neighborhood Stabilization funding.
