Inmate on the loose after escaping from county jail LACONIA — A Belmont man escaped from the Belknap County Jail late Wednesday afternoon and at press time, police had still not located him. Superintendent Daniel Ward said Joel Barlow escaped by jimmying open a window in the medium security block of the jail, dropping down two stories and scaling a chain-linked fence. Ward said it doesn’t appear Barlow was injured in the escape, but investigating officers beleive he was see EsCaPE page 10

On December 14, the day after his daughter Hayley reported her father missing, the Barnstead Police Department issued a statement to media with a description and photograph of Barnet, stating that he was last seen by a neighbor, who is a New Hampsee MIssING page 12

GILFORD — Town Clerk Tax Collector Denise Gonyer this week wrote a letter to members of the Budget Committee explaining that her department was more that willing to make some internal cuts to help offset the cost of a 17th officer for the Police Department but that she was dismayed to learn of the selectmen’s decision involved the elimination of one full-time assistance as of April 2012. “Removing 40 hours as of April 1, 2012 (if the employee stays that long) will result in a review of services,” wrote Gonyer. She requested that the Budget Committee would fund her original request for a 24-hour position in stead of the total reduction of
the position. She said the cost to employee this person for 24 hours a week would be $12,200 which would cost each taxpayer about $2 per $250,000 of annual assessment. She said she was told the reason the position was eliminated was because there were no lines at her counter. “I wish all we had to do was to wait for someone to come to the counter to be considered busy,” she said adding the Town Clerk Ta Collectors Office processed $35-million in taxes involving about 18,000 transaction, registered 10,000 cars both on and off line, registered 1,600 dogs and handles elections. She also said there are four scheduled elections in 2012 including a presidential primary and election. see GILFOrd page 10

Utah man wins $380K car and crashes it 6 hours later
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A truck driver who won a $380,000 Lamborghini in a convenience store contest crashed the sports car six hours after he got it, and he now plans to sell the 640-horsepower convertible because he can’t afford the insurance or taxes. “I already had offers on it. I’m going to sell it,” David Dopp said Wednesday. “I have bills more important than a Lamborghini. I’ve got a family to support.” Dopp, a 34-year-old truck driver for FritoLay, spun out of control just a few hours after taking the keys to the Murcielago Roadster that he won in a “Joe Schmo to Lambo” contest sponsored by Maverik convenience stores. The lime green convertible was being held by his insurance company at a Utah towing yard. It will be sent to an authorized Las Vegas dealer for repairs next week. Dopp told The Associated Press the damage “isn’t super bad” — a see CAR page 13

Obama tells Boehner 2-month tax cut extension only option WASHINGTON (AP) — Careening toward a politically toxic tax hike, President Barack Obama implored House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday to get behind a two-month stopgap until a longer deal could be struck early next year, calling it the only real way out of a mess that is threatening the paychecks of 160 million workers and isolating House Republicans. In a weary Washington, the outreach
accomplished little. All sides seemed to end the day where they began, with heavy political and economic consequences at stake. Boehner remained insistent on a fullyear extension of the existing payroll tax cut before Jan. 1, urging Obama to haul Senate Democrats back to town to talk to his chosen negotiators. “Let’s get this done today,” Boehner told Obama, according to a speaker’s aide, who required anonymity to
characterize a private conversation. But the Capitol was emptying out fast, and the Senate showed no inclination to return, having already passed a bipartisan two-month tax cut it thought had settled the matter. For taxpayers, and for an economy starting to show some life again, the standoff was all holiday gloom. Barring any action by Congress, Social see TAX CUT page 11
WASHINGTON (AP) — Clean up or shut down. That’s the decision facing hundreds of the nation’s oldest and dirtiest power plants under an Environmental Protection Agency rule announced Wednesday that will force plants to control mercury and other toxic pollutants for the first time. The long overdue national standards rein in the largest remaining source of uncontrolled toxic pollution in the U.S.
— the emissions from the nation’s coaland oil-fired power plants, which have been allowed to run for decades without addressing their full environmental and public health costs. The impact of the ruling will be greatest in the Midwest and in the coal belt — Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia — where dozens of units likely will be mothballed, according to an Associated Press survey. The majority of facilities will continue to
run, and find ways to reduce pollution. About half of the 1,200 coal- and oil-fired units nationwide still lack modern pollution controls, despite the EPA in 1990 getting the authority from Congress to control toxic air pollution from power plant smokestacks. A decade later, in 2000, the agency concluded it was necessary to clamp down on the emissions to protect public health. At a news conference Wednesday at Chilsee EPA page 13

8 U.S. soldiers charged in N.M. woman gives birth in truck during snowstorm death of bullied comrade NEW YORK (AP) — Even before the Army sent him to Afghanistan, supporters say, Pvt. Daniel Chen was fighting a personal war. Fellow soldiers at a base in Georgia teased him about his Chinese name, crying out “Chen!” in an exaggerated Asian accent. They called him “Jackie Chen,” a reference to the Hollywood action star Jackie Chan. People would ask him repeatedly if he was Chinese, even though he was a native New Yorker. At one point Chen wrote in his diary that he was running out of jokes to respond with. Then he was sent overseas, and the hazing began: Soldiers dragged him across a floor, pelted him with stones and forced him to hold liquid in his mouth while hanging upside down, according to diary entries and other accounts cited by a community activist. On Oct. 3, the 19-year-old Chen was found dead in a guardhouse in Afghanistan with what the Army said was apparently a self-inflicted gunshot wound. On Wednesday, the Army announced charges against eight soldiers in his death, saying Chen was a victim of illegal hazing. Five of those accused were charged with involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide. The alleged offenses also included maltreatment, assault and threats. The military would not discuss the exact circumstances surrounding Chen’s death. But family members and community activists said they suspect the see SOLDIER page 10
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Russell LeFevre learned how to birth a baby in nursing school using clamps, blankets, a suction bulb that clears a baby’s mouth of mucus and other medical supplies. When his wife’s water broke in the front seat of a truck as it sped down an icy New Mexico highway in a snowstorm Tuesday, LeFevre just had his hands, some jackets and shoelaces. It was enough. His wife, Elizabeth, gave birth to a 6-pound, 11-ounce baby girl inside the truck on Old Las Vegas Highway between Canoncito and Santa Fe, The Santa Fe New Mexican reported (http://bit.ly/ rRMAgp). The family is well enough to go home to Canoncito on Wednesday. Elizabeth LeFevre said she started having contractions around midnight Tuesday. The pains intensified enough that by 2 a.m., LeFevre, her husband Russell and their 3-year-old daughter loaded into a truck driven by her brother-in-law and headed for the hospital. They took the highway because Inter-
state 25 was shut down amid blizzard conditions. “We got like two miles down the highway, and I told him there was probably no chance we were going to make it to the hospital,” Elizabeth LeFevre said. “As soon as I said that, my water broke.” Russell LeFevre said that when he checked his wife after her water broke, the baby was already halfway out. The other half of the baby came out in minutes. “I turned her (the baby) to the side and gave her a little back slap, and she coughed up some goop, and I wrapped her up in a jacket,” he said. He also put the placenta in a jacket. Russell LeFevre works as a nurse’s assistant at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe and had just graduated from nursing school Dec. 8, so he had some training. “(But) in the moment I was totally unprepared to deliver a baby in my truck,” he said. “I had shoelaces instead of clamps, and I was wiping out her mouth with my finger instead of a suction bulb. It was pretty wild.”
Christmas package arrives 1 year and 6 days later WINTER BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An Arkansas woman finally has proof that she bought her mother a Christmas gift last year. The package Mary Beth Mauldin sent via the United States Postal Service last December finally arrived in Florida on Dec. 16 — one year and six days after it was mailed from Greenbrier, Ark. The Vero Beach Press Journal reports Mauldin visited the post office numerous times over the past
year to try to track the package. The box contained a gift card and a flannel nightgown for her mother, Mary Lou Shelton. The women got an apology from post office officials, who say they aren’t sure what caused the delay. Shelton also got some additional holiday cheer when her daughter’s Christmas card arrived Monday, three days after it was mailed from Arkansas.

And the winner is: Islam For the 30 years since “The McLaughlin Group” began to run on network television, the Christmas and New Year’s shows have been devoted to the conferring of annual awards. The first award on the Christmas show is “Biggest Winner.” This year, clearly, one of the world’s big winner was — Islam. For this was the year when what Catholic apologist Hilaire Belloc predicted in 1938 would be the “second period of Islamic power” became manifest to all mankind. From Morocco to Pakistan, a great awakening is occurring. And perhaps the most dramatic example of Islam rising again came in Egypt, with the fall of the 60-year-old military dictatorship. With the ouster of Hosni Mubarak after weeks of demonstrations in Tahrir Square, the West hailed the coming of democracy. But democracy delivered a rude shock. In the first round of voting, over 60-percent of all Egyptians cast their ballots for either the Muslim Brotherhood or the radical Islamist Nour Party of the Salafis. In the second round last week, 75-percent voted Islamist. In Tunis and Tripoli, too, the overthrow of autocrats revealed a silent majority sympathetic to Islamism. Recep Erdogan, the most important Turkish ruler since Kemal Ataturk, was a candidate for Time’s Man of the Year as he turned his nation’s back on a century of secularism and embraced a form of Islamism. Muslim Uighurs seek to rip China’s largest province away from Beijing and establish an East Turkestan. Muslims in the North Caucasus seek to strip Dagestan and Ingushetia out of Russia. In Iraq and Afghanistan, Americans are in retreat and Islamists are celebrating our eviction. While all the world has heard of the atrocity against Muslims in Srebrenica, that world ignores the desecration and destruction of Orthodox churches and cathedrals in Kosovo and the ethnic cleansing of Serbs by the Muslim Albanians that President Clinton brought to power. Worldwide, the Muslim population has surpassed Catholicism as the world’s largest religion, with 48 members of the U.N. General Assembly now boasting a Muslim plurality or majority. India, with 150-million Muslims, has more than both Egypt and Iraq. Russia, with 25-million, has more Muslims than Libya and Jordan combined. China has more than Syria. Five percent of Europe is Muslim, and the numbers continue to rise. And as with Christianity when it was surging in the 16th and 17th centuries, Islam is marked today by militancy and intolerance. From Nigeria to Ethiopia, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Christians are being made the victims of Muslim pogroms. And as with Christianity in the 16th and 17th
centuries, Islam is a house divided, between Shia and Sunni. If demography is destiny, the future would seem to belong to Islam. Consider. The six most populous Muslim nations — Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria and Turkey — had a total population of 242-million in 1950. By 2050, that 242-million will have quintupled to 1.36-billion people. Meanwhile, Europe’s fertility rate has been below zero population growth since the 1970s. Old Europe is dying, and its indigenous peoples are being replaced by Third World immigrants, millions of them Muslim. Yet there is another side to the Islamic story. In international test scores of high school students in reading, math and science, not one Muslim nation places in the top 30. Take away oil and gas, and from Algeria to Iran these nations would have little to offer the world. Iran would have to fall back on exports of carpets, caviar and pistachio nuts. Not one Muslim nation is a member of the G-8 economic powers or the BRIC-four emerging powers — Brazil, Russia, India, China. In the 20th century, the world saw the rise of the Asian “tigers” — South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong. Where are the Muslim tigers? A few years back, the gross domestic product of the entire Arab world was only equal to Spain’s. Take away oil and gas, and its exports were equal to Finland’s. Measured by manufacturing power, the Islamic world, though more populous, cannot hold a candle to China. And while Islam was a civilization superior in some ways to the West from the 7th to 17th century, somewhere that world began to stagnate and decline. So the question arises: If Islamism is capturing Libya, Tunisia and Egypt, and will capture other Muslim nations as the Arab Spring advances, where is the historic evidence that these Islamic regimes can convert their states into manufacturing and military powers? Where is the evidence that Islamist regimes, such as Sudan and Iran, can deliver what their peoples demanded when they brought down the dictators? And if, like the communist regimes of the 20th century, they cannot deliver the good life that the rebels sought when they dumped the tyrants, what will follow Islamism, when Islamism inevitably fails? In the long run, does Islamism really own the future of the Islamic world? Or has the clock begun to run on the fundamentalists as well?

LETTERS Credit market debt has been growing at 12% a year; that’s a problem To the editor, Some times it is hard to listen to true believers claim that their political dogma makes good sense economic sense. John Maynard Keynes was a mathematician. He was an intelligent, articulate, market-based capitalist. He understood the workings of a market-based economy. His teachings do not include utopian solutions that allow unlimited long-term governmental borrowing for short-term political ends. What they did allow is short-term borrowing for long-term economically sound purposes. In the current economic situation, further stimulation of the economy amounts to injection of liquidity into a solvency problem. That is why further stimulus is inappropriate. The current state of political discourse serves only to divert attention from the issue. What we are seeing is a crisis from too much debt. Stimulus is adding more debt to the situation making the situation worse not better. That’s why the results are less than expected. What happened in the financial crisis is that there was too much private debt. As the private sector has deleveraged, reduced debt, the public sector has leveraged up, it has ratcheted up borrowing. Total credit market debt over the last nine years has grown from $80-trillion to $210-trillion which is a growth of about 12-percent per year. The growth of the economy in the same period is about 4-percent per year. That’s the problem. What has happened is that we have reached a point where we have debt saturation. The marginal utility of an additional dollar of debt is now zero in the economy. Don’t think that’s possible? Look at Japan. They have been in a depression for 21 years. They have and have had interest rates at or near zero for most of that time. Their government has repeatedly tried to stimulate, meaning borrow, their way out of the depression. It has not worked. Europe now has to deliver a solution or face a similar fate; they have to reduce their debt. They are trying to do this through fiscal austerity. The question before the rest of the world is: how can they sit by and just watch?
world add debt when no private sector credit is available because we are at the limit of what the world can support? We have been watching European leaders press forward with failed attempts to suppress borrowing costs, control spending, reduce deficits and prop up what the market has demonstrated is a broken monetary system. What is happening is the citizens of the most highly indebted nations are losing confidence in the euro. Defaults by various governments are going to be announced soon. The situation in Europe is becoming unstable. Economies are shrinking which is reducing tax revenues. At the same time governments are being forced to pay higher yields on the debt they are required to service, the cost of debt is going up. Europe is heading to where Japan has been for 21 years. This is currently working to our benefit because capital has mobility. It is in flight from Europe and Japan. Just when Europe is trying to build liquidity into their system, money is leaving the most heavily indebted nations to stronger banking systems. What has happened in Europe is that the government has guaranteed the lending of the banks. The banks have lent huge sums to the governments. The problem is the governments are now facing reduced incomes because their economies are shrinking. As a result they have a reduced ability to repay the loans. There is no private money to recapitalize the banks. It is a vicious circle. What Europe has to look forward to is devaluation of the currency. The payment system of the banks will continue to function. The structural integrity of the banking system will remain but there will be no value, or greatly reduced value in the debt. There is $2.6-trillion in debt in Europe that is due to roll in 2012. The problem is that there are no buyers for that debt. There will be fall out in America from this debacle. This will be America’s future too if we don’t stop doing business as usual in Washington. Vote early, vote often. Just my honest opinion. Marc Abear

LETTERS Does this Big Brother method simply maintain order at LMS? To the editor, In your December 20 article on behavior at Laconia Middle School, you cited lots of statistics of the “improvements”. That sounds all well and good, but I would contend that there is another side, another set of questions that are raised. First, it seems by the description of the program implemented at LMS that the change is a constant monitoring of the students. Don’t let them out of your sight, so to speak. All well and good for the middle school, but this bring to mind three questions: How does this prepare them for high school? Is LHS going to institute a clampdown as well? How will these students deal with the freedom of high school? It is quite possible that LMS
is passing along a future problem to LHS, rather than dealing with it effectively at the middle school level. Second, are the students learning anything? Does this Big Brother method really improve behavior or does it simply maintain order? It seems to me that the program is really oriented toward the convenience of the staff and administration, rather than the benefit of the students. Keep them orderly, keep them quiet, keep them passive. And we thought George Orwell’s 1984 never happened. LMS administration is quite proud of their statistics, but as Mark Twain said “There are 3 types of lies. Lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Paul Cook Laconia
Congrats to GOP reps who voted to uphold right-to-work-for-less veto To the editor, The right to work (for less) crowd just won’t quit. Let by Mr. Neil Young of AM radio and newspaper column fame, they (he) continues to rail against unions and Republicans who had the courage to stand up for their beliefs and against the legislative leadership and vote to sustain Gov Lynch’s veto. They (he) threaten to oppose those courageous people for standing up for their beliefs. He and others, expect our representatives to act like sheep and “go along to get along” and just vote the way they are told. Isn’t that the same reason that we have “national health care”, because
of the go along Democrats? I congratulate those Republicans who stood with the governor and voted to uphold his veto. I have never been a “one issue“ person, looking at a candidate, however , I guess I will look at where one stands on this right to work issue, including candidates for governor. One would hope this would put an end to this, however , I am sure Mr. Young and his right to work (for less) gang will be working hard to get this passed and lower all of our standards of living Bill Knightly Gilford
Let’s come up with a creative sign to identify community garden To the editor, It makes me so happy so pass by the little community garden on Parade Road. As someone who can’t even grow DUST, it impresses me. The only downside is that if you don’t know what it is, it looks like a mess. With the fantastic artists we have in Laconia, couldn’t we persuade some of them to make a good-quality sign explaining what it is? More people might take advantage of what’s there, but it’s hard to make sense of it. Some inept soul, like me, might go and learn
from successful planters what I’m doing wrong, and so would other residents. It could look great: bright images of corn and beans and peppers, berries, etc. I know I would be more than happy to contribute to materials and work. I can’t paint a sign, I would, but I don’t have the skill. Can I add that area visitors would find it charming and suited to our entire picture? The lakes are wonderful, but our open land spaces are nearly as good. Mary Jane Danley Laconia
Mr. Boutin must know different set of people in Nebraska than I do To the editor, In response to Tony Boutin’s letter, I respectfully decline the offer of a $500 bet. I never said that the Keystone pipeline would not be built. What I did write in my short letter was that the oil company should be sensitive to the wishes of the citizens of Nebraska and not so much just to their bottom line. Read the first two lines of the last paragraph in my letter from The Daily Sun,
Dec. 16th edition. Now read it again, slowly. . . what’s not to understand? Perhaps Mr. Boutin knows a whole different set of people than I personally know in the state of Nebraska. They have time and time again stated that they want the jobs from the pipeline but need the route changed to not endanger their water supply. This is my last letter on the subject, thank you. Charlie St. Clair Laconia
Unemployment is dropping & GOP has had nothing to do with it To the editor, Great news! Unemployment is turning around and the beginnings of recovery are evident, if the House doesn’t kill it for us by flexing their conservative principals. Too bad it happened without a single Republican being elected to save us from that dastardly Obama. . . I mean, every Republican candidate has been tell-
and our economy can only be saved from those awful Obamanation policies when one of them is elected. But it seems that it really isn’t so. I wonder what else they will have to concoct before the election so that we can be afraid, and in dire need of an ultraconservative dogmatic president to save America. Andrew Sanborn

LETTERS So many people contributed to great success or Pub Mania 2011 To the editor, On December 8 and 9, 696 “Culinary Athletes” and numerous customers of Patrick’s Pub & Eatery participated in the third “Pub Mania” event in support of the WLNH Children’s Auction. Inspired by Laconia Athletic & Swim Club’s “Cycle Mania”, Pub Mania is billed as a “24-hour barstool challenge”. For 24 continuous hours, beginning at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 8, Patrick’s, along with event sponsors, local businesses and area musicians provided participants with food, non-alcoholic beverage, entertainment and fun and games for 24 hours. Team captains for each barstool filled their team with 24 participants (one person per hour) and set about to inspire each member of their team to raise funds for the Children’s Auction. Funds raised via teams, sponsorships, 50-50 raffles and T-shirt sales were passed directly to the Children’s Auction. In addition, Patrick’s donated 20-percent of gross sales for the day. We were all thrilled, amazed and delighted to present a check for $110,770 to the WLNH Children’s Auction! In addition, teams brought in almost 3,000 food items that were brought to the food pantry at St. Vincent de Paul. We would like to thank the Pub Mania teams and team captains for their efforts making this event so successful and so much fun. The enthusiasm and spirit that they and their teams brought to this event was truly remarkable! Our thanks and appreciation to the following teams and their captains: Lahey Landscaping and captain Janet Mckone; ‘Santa Can You Hear Me’ and team captain Judy Taggart; Sherkanowski Drywall and captains Heidi Sherkanowski & Tricia Furbish; Coldwell Banker and captain Shawn Bailey; Bag-O-Loot with captains John & Linda Shelley; Shaw’s Gilford Stocking Stuffers and captains Jackie French and Ken Rueffert; The Stool Pigeons and captain Brian Beetle; Café Deja Vu and captain Brenda Ferland; Gilford Professional Firefighters and captains Scott Mooney, Frank and Lynn Latosek; Amoskeag Distributors and captain John Valliere; Nassau/ Meadowbrook with Ken Tucker; Laconia Athletic & Swim Club and captains Trish Tryon and Tom Oakley; Sipping Santas!!

In addition, we had special games and contests during the quiet hours with Poetry, Karaoke, Talent and Comedy Hours, and Lori Oakley of LASC led us in Barstool Yoga (really!), and finally Arts & Crafts Hour.

Eva Melanson worked a straight 24 hours collecting and logging in food items that went to the food pantry at St. Vincent de Paul. Bartender Katie Whitney, Executive Chef Stephanie Kirk and General Manager Megan Page all worked around the clock to keep the participants happy and well fed. Servers Heather Parent, Jen Merfeld and Jennifer McLain worked the crowd selling 50/50 raffle tickets from 11am to 11pm, selling over $6,000 of raffle tickets! Referees Wendy Beetle, Jennifer Beetle and Jennifer Bailey also went the full 24+ hours, collecting donations, judging the team performances and setting the tone for this event.

LETTERS We are so very grateful for generosity shown to us after the fire To the editor, On December 16, one of the most dreaded things happened to us when fire broke out in our house on Church St in Lochmere. We are still trying to recover but we needed to take time out to sincerely say thank you to so many people for their help, support, friendship and generosity in our time of need. First, thank you to the Tilton-Northfield Fire Department as well as the many surrounding fire departments that came to our immediate aid. We cannot thank you enough for all you did! Not only as a department but as individuals you gave us your help and support. We certainly appreciate all that every one of you did and are happy that everyone was safe. The support we have received from the Tilton town officials and police department has been so appreciated!
Thank you to Joe, who was attentive when going by and called in the fire. To the Red Cross, who were on the scene in no time, The Lochmere Baptist Church, St. Vincent de Paul’s, and our many friends and neighbors and even strangers who have offered support, friendship, food and gifts we cannot thank you enough. Those simple words cannot begin to express in words what is in our hearts. We are so grateful to all of you. This disaster is just heartbreaking, but the love we have received from all of you dries our tears and warms our hearts. As we slowly put the pieces of our lives back together we will never forget your help and generosity. We will celebrate Christmas with gratitude in our hearts! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Betty & Kathy Gonyer Lochmere (Tilton)

WLHN Children’s Auction tripled amount donated to Got Lunch! To the editor, Santa Claus really does exist … right here in the Lakes Region. Laconia’s Got Lunch! Program was a beneficiary of proof positive this week that miracles do happen; there really is a Santa Claus; and yes, good things really do happen to those who deserve it. Our kids. This week the WLNH Children’s auction saw fit to triple the amount of money it donated to Laconia’s Got Lunch! program in 2011. Their donation will effectively feed 150 Laconia children during the summer of 2012. The Auction’s success this December was due entirely to overwhelming community support throughout our region, and worthwhile programs like ours will repay Laconia for its support by feeding our children who rely on free or reduced-price lunches during
the school year. Due to your support during our initial summer last year, we had enough money remaining in the coffers to gift each of our Got Lunch! families with a shopping card at Vista Foods for the upcoming school vacation week. This card will provide additional grocery money to feed those children during the holidays, when school is not in session. If half of last year’s donors can triple what they gave last year, just like WLNH has just done, we will be able to fully support double last year’s number of 314 school children that we fed all 11 weeks of the summer. Thank you Laconia, thank you Lakes Region, and thank you WLNH. John Walker Got Lunch! Laconia
Take a minute on Christmas Eve to ask God to keep our troops safe To the editor, Christmas season is here again and everyone is looking forward to parties, family gatherings and, of course, Christmas day with all the gifts, fun and laughter. We take all these things for granted, but let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas and that to have the freedom to celebrate this beautiful season we need to thank our troops who defend and protect our freedom. Our troops serving both here and abroad won’t be celebrating like we will be. Their thoughts will be on their families and the festivities they will be sharing with other family members and friends. I know because I spent three Christmases overseas, and so
have our sons. So as this Christmas season draws to close, I ask you all for a small favor. On Christmas Eve there will be a lot of churches having special services and if you should be attending one of these services, take a minute and ask God to keep our troops safe. If you should see a soldier or veteran, walk up to them, shake their hand, thank them and wish them a Merry Christmas. God bless them. Thank you Bob Jones and Don Amorosi for all you do for the POW/MIA movement. Merry Christmas and God bless you both. Wayne Bartlett Belmont

FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — A Holiday Store at Laconia High School proved popular with students, with more than 150 taking advantage of the opportunity to select free gifts for family members from the new and gently used items which were donated by faculty and staff members. “There’s some neat stuff here,’’ said one of the students as she looked through the rack of sweaters and jackets and selected a small pocketbook as one of the gifts she could gift wrap and then take home to put under the family Christmas tree. ‘’This is about it for Christmas giving for me. It’s nice to have something to give,’’ she said. Yesterday was the last day for shopping and many of the more popular items such as CDs, games and personal hygiene items had already flown off the shelves of the store, which was set up in the office of the school nurse and has been open for about a week. “It’s sort of like a Yankee Swap on steroids.

room was overflowing when it opened,’’ said Dave Levesque, assistant principal at LHS. The Holiday Store was started by members of the guidance department and put together in about a week according to Holly Vieten, head of the department, who said that in previous years donations had been sought from faculty and staff members and about 100 gift bags assembled for students. She said that the response to this year’s request for gift items from which students could choose was generous and that one unsolicited gift in particular was greatly appreciated, that of 87 knit hats and mittens which was given to the school by Doris Millo of the Lake Village Apartments in Lakeport. “That was greatly appreciated. It was a wonderful gift,” said Vieten. She said that students were able to select five gifts each and many at first didn’t realize that the hats and mittens didn’t count as one of those gifts but were intended for the students themselves. see next page

Teen burglary suspect held on cash bail because of .357 handgun found on him at time of arrest By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — “I’m sick to death of picking up the newspaper and reading about young people being killed,” Judge Jim Carroll told a 17 year-old, who allegedly broke into a handful of homes in Lakeport and was found carrying a .357 magnum revolver, at his arraignment in the 4th Circuit Court Laconia yesterday. Sebastian Corneau, 17, of 31 Bay Street, Unit 3, was held at the Belknap County House of Corrections in lieu of $10,000 cash bail, charged with four counts of burglary, a class B felony, and three counts of receiving stolen property, a class B felony. Carroll also set personal recognizance bail at $50,000, for which Corneau, should he post cash bail, would be liable for failing to appear in court when ordered. In addition, Carroll ordered Corneau kept under house arrest should he make bail. Corneau is next scheduled to appeared in circuit court for a probable cause hearing on December 30. On Tuesday, December 20, police were dispatched to 26 Chapin Terrace, where the daughter of the homeowner, who is wintering in Florida, reported a burglary. Officers soon discovered that neighboring homes at 20 and 29 Chapin Terrace, both also unoccupied seasonal residences, had also been burglarized. Burglars entered two homes through broken windows and the third by forcing a door. A 2007 Buick Lucerne was taken from the garage at 26 Chapin Terrace and items were missing from all three homes. BOXER from page 2 Good behavior could knock several weeks off Mayweather’s sentence. but he will likely serve most of the sentence set to begin Jan. 6, said Officer Bill Cassell, a Las Vegas police spokesman. Mayweather and his manager, Leonard Ellerbe, declined comment outside the courtroom. The jail time raises doubts about a possible showdown between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, a champion fighter from the Philippines against whom Mayweather’s welterweight success is usually measured. A long-awaited fight between the two men regarded as among the best of their generation has been delayed by stalling techniques and verbal sparring. from preceding page ‘’About 95-percent of those who came in said that the gift was for their family and about 5-percent chose gifts for themselves.’’ she said. Vieten said that the store was open to all students and that any of the leftover items will be donated to the Saint Vincent de Paul thrift store.

That afternoon, Officer Jonathan Howe learned that two young men parked a car at a Court Street gas station. When he investigated he found the stolen Buick and detained Corneau and a male juvenile, both of whom were subsequently arrested. According to the affidavit of Detective Kevin Butler, Corneau had a loaded .357 magnum revolver stuffed into the waistband of his pants, which police identified as stolen from a residence at 129 Franklin Street on December 15. Officers searching the Buick found a Charter Arms .38 caliber revolver in the glove compartment, which had also been stolen from 129 Franklin Street. Butler reported that when officers asked Corneau why he was carrying the loaded gun, he said that “he was afraid of being jumped.” Asked if he would use the gun to defend himself, Corneau answered “he would if he was being jumped.” Corneau also told police that he and “his partner,” the male juvenile, fired the guns in the woods in Belmont, exhausting most of the ammunition they took from 129 Franklin Street. The juvenile was booked and released to the custody of his parents. Before he was released he told police that a third firearm taken from 129 Franklin Street was at Corneau’s home, where it was found between the mattress and box spring in his bedroom. Police also found numerous other items stolen from the four homes in Corneau’s bedroom. According to the affidavit, Corneau admitted to the three burglaries on Chapin Terrace as well as the theft of the Buick and to the burglary on Franklin Street when three firearms were taken. The two men have a defamation lawsuit pending in Las Vegas federal court stemming from statements by Mayweather that he suspects Pacquiao was taking performance-enhancing drugs. Mayweather returned in September from a 16-month layoff to continue his undefeated record with a controversial knockout of Victor Ortiz in Las Vegas. Mayweather’s promoters have a May 5 date reserved against an as-yet unnamed opponent at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. But if Mayweather is jailed until the end of March, it could cut into the usual eight-plus weeks he takes to train.

ESCAPE from page one picked up by someone in a motor vehicle. Ward said a K-9 and officer from Gilford as well as a K-9 and N.H. State Trooper were able to track Barlow to where they believe he got into a car. Barlow is described as being 5-feet 6-inches and weighs about 130 pounds. He has brown close-cut har, blue eyes and had “TEENA” tattooed on the left side of his neck. Barlow has Chinese symbols tattooed on the back of his neck and “BARLOW” tattooed on his right forearm. He has a mole or a beauty mark
under his left ear. Barlow was sent to jail Dec. 19 and was facing one count out of Belmont for breach of bail. His cash bail was set at $250 and he had a court date of Jan. 17. He is known to reside in Belmont and Laconia and his last address was Hurricane Road in Belmont. Ward said that “anyone who escapes from a secure incarceration facility must be considered dangerous” and asks any one who has any information or who may have seen Barlow call the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department at 527-5454. — Gail Ober
from page one The town’s Clerk Tax Collector Officer also processes and balances $800,000 annually from state money and fields more than 6,000 calls annually. In addition to removing from the 2012 town budget $22,035 from the Office of the Town Clerk and Tax Collector, Town Administrator Scott Dunn said selectmen also removed $26,630 from the Department of Public Works. Both department lines were shifted last week to help offset the costs of a 17th officer, which was added by the Budget Committee. All totaled, $34,112 was added to the Police Departments bottom line and selectmen also made a number of much smaller adjustments within other departments — most significantly the ability a reduction in insurance and fuel costs, now that the actual bids have been received. Typically, while selectmen are developing the next years budget, the board and department heads are forced to work with approximations provided to them by insurance fuel, salt, sand, and other companies that provide items and services to municipalities. In her letter, Gonyer requested
that the Budget Committee fund her original request for a 24-hour position instead of the total reduction of the position. She said the cost to employee this person for 24 hours a week would be $12,200 which would cost each taxpayer about $2 per $250,000 of annual assessment. Included on Gonyer’s list of services provided that are elective and optional are being the 20102 boat agency, auto renewal notices mailed monthly to citizens, Thursday evening hours, online payments, local motor vehicle registrations and issuing town stickers, guest cards, dump coupons and island resident stickers. Gonyer said she has no plans to eliminate any of these services but noted to the Budget Committee that she would have to evaluate and monitor each one as the amount of staff in her department is reduced. She said she was the one who came forward in the first place and offered to help keep the tax rates low in the first place and now finds herself with possibly “making negative changes to services.” Gonyer has asked to be allowed to address the Budget Committee at its next meeting on Jan. 5, 2012.
SOLDIER from page 3 bullying may have driven him to suicide. “Whether suicide or homicide, those responsible for mistreating Danny are responsible for his death,” said Elizabeth OuYang, a community activist who is representing his parents, Chinese immigrants who live near New York City’s Chinatown neighborhood. Attorneys for the defendants could not immediately be located. The sister of one of them had no comment. Other relatives could not be reached. Eugene Fidell, an expert on military law and president of the National Institute of Military Justice, said bullying has been a recurring problem for the military. “If there was brutality within the unit, that’s a betrayal of the bond of brotherhood,” he said. “That is, in theory, the underpinning of what holds a military command together.” He added: “Can I imagine somebody being bullied in the military to the point of taking his or her own life? Yes. These people are young people. You’re at an age of vulnerability as well as strength.” In 2010, three Army sergeants were punished after Pvt. Keiffer Wilhelm of Willard, Ohio, killed himself 10 days after arriving in Iraq with a platoon based in Fort Bliss, Texas. Wilhelm’s family said he was being bullied and forced to run for miles with rocks in his pockets.
six months and three months, respectively, on charges of cruelty and maltreatment. The third was convicted of obstructing justice and given a onegrade reduction in pay. Activists said Chen’s case has highlighted the military’s poor treatment of Asian-Americans, who remain a tiny percentage of new recruits even as the percentage of blacks, Hispanics, women and other groups has grown. Pentagon officials would not comment Wednesday on the specifics of the case. But Pentagon spokesman Navy Capt. John Kirby said hazing is not tolerated. “That’s what this uniform requires. And when we don’t, there’s a justice system in place to deal with it,” Kirby said. “That’s what we’re seeing here in the case of Private Chen.” The details of Chen’s alleged hazing came from Facebook and email messages, discussions with cousins and a few pages of Chen’s journal released by the Army, OuYang said at a Chinatown news conference. Chen’s relatives said they were encouraged by the charges. “We realize that Danny will never return, but it gives us some hope,” Yen Tao Chen, his father, said through a translator. Chen was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, based in Fort Wain-

On N.H. bus tour, Romney serves spaghetti supper to packed house at Ashland American Legion Post By Gail OBer
ASHLAND — Dozens of supporters of former Massachusetts governor and candidate for the Republican nomination Mitt Romney packed into the American Legion Post last night to greet the man many hope will be the next president of the United States. Romney — accompanied by his wife Ann and other state GOP notables including former N.H. Gov. John H. Sununu, U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte and former U.S. Senator John E. Sununu — was not only the guest of honor but also chose to serve the spaghetti dinner sponsored by his campaign. Romney spoke briefly but effectively telling the audience that the “unalienable rights” and the “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” in the U.S. Constitution says it all. “The can’t give away those rights,” he said. “We can pursue our dreams as we like.” “I don’t think President Barack Obama and those around him understand with this country is all about.” Romney said he was a firm believer in letting mar-
kets work and creating a society based on entitlements was not the way to a prosperous nation. “I don’t believe a path to make us like Europe will work,” he said predicting that without some alterations, the United States will hit a wall Greek and Italy. “It doesn’t work in Europe. Four of the members of the Belknap County House delegation also joined Romney in Ashland. Laconia Rep. Frank Tilton and Sanbornton Rep. Dennis Fields said they had both decided that Romney was their candidate, both saying that Romney was the only candidate that could defeat Obama this November. With just over 20 days left until the Jan. 10 primary, the Romneys said they expected to spend a great deal of time in the state in which he appears to be a favorite. Other political locals, namely Fran Wendelboe and Omer Ahern, attended last night’s speech but said they are still deciding between candidates. In Ashland, Romney was at the end of the first of a three day bus tour of the Granite State. On Thursday morning he heads north to Littleton and will end the day in North Conway.
TAX CUT from page 2 Security payroll taxes will go up almost $20 a week for a worker making a $50,000 salary — that’s $40 less for a typical paycheck or $1,000 over the whole year. Almost 2 million people would lose unemployment benefits as well. The political risks seemed only to deepen, too, particularly for House Republicans. They appeared poised to take the biggest blame for a tax increase even while pushing for a deeper one. The reliably conservative editorial page of The Wall Street Journal blasted both Boehner and Sen. Mitch McConnell, the GOP leader, for how they handled the matter. “The GOP leaders have somehow managed the remarkable feat of being blamed for opposing a oneyear extension of a tax holiday that they are surely going to pass,” the paper’s editorial said. In a year of legislative brinksmanship remarkable even by Washington standards, the latest fight spilled into the lap of Republican candidates running for president. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich chastised Congress, particularly the Senate, for failing to
extend the 2 percentage point tax cut for a full year. “They can’t figure out how to pass a one-year extension, so the Senate leaves town?” Gingrich remarked while campaigning in Iowa. “It’s an absurd dereliction of duty.” Rival Mitt Romney refused to take a position, again steering clear of Washington’s hot policy debate. “I’m not going to get into the back-and-forth on the congressional sausage-making process,” the former Massachusetts governor told reporters after events in New Hampshire. “I hope they’re able to sit down and work out a solution that works for the American people.” But the White House made clear the time for talks were over for this year. “The negotiating has happened already,” presidential spokesman Jay Carney said, referring to the Senate bill the White House insists was sealed with Boehner’s blessing. Boehner disputes that he ever gave a nod of support to the two-month tax cut that many in his caucus oppose.

MISSING from page one shire State Trooper, raking his yard on Saturday, December 10. Another neighbor said that he found a hand-delivered Christmas card from Barnet in his mailbox on Monday, indicating it was put there after he collected his mail on Saturday. However, Hayley said yesterday that she believes her father was last seen on shortly before 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 8 by a clerk at the Barnstead Country Store on Maple Street, just off Route 28 (Suncook Valley Road) where she suspects he had gone to buy cigarettes. Hayley lives in Alton, about five minutes from her father’s home. She said that Barnet, who lived alone without a car, left her a phone message around 2:30 p.m. that day to ask if she could take him to the store. Because she was at work she was unable to take him and assumes he decided to walk, a trips she estimated took him approximately an hour and twenty minutes. Later, when Hayley went to the store, the clerk remembered Barnet paying for wine and cigarettes with a check. She said he was wearing a green winter jacket, jeans and a baseball cap, carrying a backpack with a CD player and using a walking stick. She also recalled that after she left the store at 9:30 p.m. she saw him walking northbound in the breakdown lane of Route 28, noting that he had gone only about 100 yards in an hour. Despite the neighbors, Hayley is convinced her father never returned home from the store. Joe Zarzour, Hayley’s boyfriend, said that “nothing he purchased at the store was found at his house. There were no signs that he consumed the wine. There were no cigarette butts. Nothing he was wearing that night was at the house.” Hayley said that when she went to the house on Tuesday, December 13 the mailbox had not been emptied, noting that Barnet had no computer or cell phone, but regularly corresponded with friends by hand-written letters. “He was an old-fashioned letter writer,” Zarzour said. “He always collected his mail.” Hayley said that she found the TV Guide was still opened to Wednesday, the day before her father was seen at the store, and the two cats had not had food or water for days. “He would never leave his cats without food and water,” she said, adding that in their hunger, the cats had dragged the food dispenser around the house. And his wallet, with his identification, was found in the house. “He never came home that night,” Hayley said flatly. Barnet was looking forward to attending her sister Hannah’s graduation from the University of Rhode Island on Saturday, December 17. Hayley said she did not speak with her father over the weekend of the 10th and 11th, which was not unusual. On Monday the 12th Hannah tried to reach him to discuss arrangements for the graduation. The next day, after her calls were not returned, she asked Hayley to check on their father, who upon no sign of him at home reported him missing.
This family-provided photo of Paul Barnet at Fenway Park in Boston is of much more recent vintage that the one that was circulated right after he was believed to be missing.
On Saturday, the 16th, Hayley said that “family, friends and strangers,” accompanied by Sergeant Joseph McDowell of the Barnstead Police and officers of the New Hampshire State Police, New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and the K-9 unit of the Rochester Police, mounted a search, which Hayley said was the only “official” search undertaken. In all their spare moments Hayley and her friends have continued to scour the area, “covering as much ground as we can looking for answers” as well as seeking information and assistance through the internet. A veteran of the United States Army, Barnet served with the Rochester Police Department between 1989 and 1996, leaving with the rank of lieutenant. Hayley said he suffered a stroke that weakened the left side of his body and took medication to relieve anxiety. “There was no dementia,” she insisted, explaining that he kept himself well informed about current affairs. Zarzour said that since Barnet went missing they have called his known friends, who all said he was in “good spirits” when they last spoke with him. In particular, he was looking forward to Hannah’s graduation and the Christmas holidays. “While we were at the house,” Zarzour said, “Christmas gifts he had ordered arrived in the mail and we got a card from him in the mail inviting us to his birthday on January 11.” Barnet’s ex-wife, Ruthanne Barnet of Alton, told Foster’s Daily Democrat (Dover) that she last saw him at Thanksgiving and found nothing out of the ordinary. After his disappearance she called at his home, again finding nothing amiss. Despite their differences, she described Barnet a “the greatest father anyone could ask for” and “a good guy,” who would never walk away from his family. Zarzour said that he and Hayley naturally feared see next page

Margarine still missing but stolen Iowa truck found DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a thief who slipped away with $50,000 worth of margarine remains at large even though the truck that carried the payload has been recovered. The trailer was parked awaiting delivery to a Target warehouse in Cedar Falls when it was stolen Dec. 10 from a parking lot near Waterloo. It was found Dec. 15 in a parking lot more than 500 miles away in Fowler, Mich.
But the thief and the margarine are nowhere to be found. Waterloo police Capt. Rick Abben says the theft was the latest in a series of semitrailer thefts in the area during the past 18 months. He says the others included a trailer filled with beef jerky, one loaded with dog food and one carrying dental hygiene products.
CAR from page 2 punctured oil pan and wheel and a few dents and scratches on the front and rear ends. The father of six said he couldn’t afford to pay taxes on the car or the insurance, which runs $3,500 every six months. “That’s why rich people own them,” he said. “The poor people like me don’t.” Dopp was taking family members and friends on joy rides the first evening. He said he took a curve at about 45 mph and “hit some black ice and spun out.” The car jumped a curb and went through a fence before coming to a rest about 75 feet off the road. Neither Dopp nor his passenger was injured. “My heart pretty much fell out,” Annette Dopp told KSL-TV of Salt Lake City. “They said they were OK. Then (came), you know, that feeling when your heart drops and you’re like, ‘Oh, my gosh. What do we do now?’” The Lamborghini was the envy of Santaquin, a town of 9,000 about 55 miles south of Salt Lake City. Police say the Lamborghini’s high-performance summer tires weren’t suited for icy conditions and the car is simply too powerful — and exceptionally light with carbon fiber body parts. Dopp wasn’t ticketed. Dopp was videotaped jumping up and down and hollering in speechless disbelief when contest officials announced during a Nov. 12 college football game that he won the car. He had to take out insurance before he could claim the car — “that was a good thing,” he says — and took the keys to the roadster Saturday.
Dopp said he never imagined he could keep the car for long because it costs too much to own. He also won $5,000 worth of driving lessons at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele County. Dopp said he’ll be more careful the next time he gets behind the wheel. The giveaway contest was for customers who use a rewards card at Maverik’s 220 stores. It was co-sponsored by nonprofit organization “teamgive,” which raises awareness about rare neurological diseases.
from preceding page that Barnet might have brought harm to himself, only to dismiss the notion. Barnet is described as five-feet, nine-inches tall, though Hayley said he stands nearer six-feet, weighing about 160 pounds, with long brown hair won in a pony tail, brown eyes and a beard. Earlier reports suggested he might be wearing a denim jacket, but it was found in his home. Instead, he was wearing a heavy dark green jackets and jeans. Anyone with any information about Barnet’s whereabouts should contact the Barnstead Police at 269-4281. “We don’t know where he is to come back from,” Hayley said.

EPA from page 2 Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said the regulation was the Obama administration’s “biggest clean air action yet”, trumping a landmark agreement to double fuel economy standards for vehicles and another rule that will reduce emissions from power plants that foul the air in states downwind. The administration was under court order to issue a new rule, after a court threw out an attempt by the Bush administration to exempt power plants from toxic air pollution controls. “Before this rule, there were no national standards limiting the amount of mercury, arsenic, chromium, nickel and acid gases that power plants across the country could release into the air that we breathe,” said Jackson, listing the contaminants linked to cancer, IQ loss, heart disease and lung disease that are covered by the rule, and that also pollute lakes, streams and fish. In a video released Wednesday afternoon, President Barack Obama said the decades of delays caused by special interest groups that resulted in standards never being put into place for power plants “was wrong.” “Today, my administration is saying, ‘Enough’,” he said. When fully implemented in 2016, the standards will slash mercury pollution from burning coal by 90 percent, lung-damaging acid gases by 88 percent and soot-producing sulfur dioxide by 41 percent. Power plant operators will have to choose between installing pollution control equipment, switching to cleaner-burning natural gas, or shutting down the plant. None of those choices come cheap — the EPA estimates the rule will cost $9.6 billion annually, making it one of the most expensive the agency has ever issued.

Pilot said he picked up ice before New Jersey crash MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — The pilot of a small plane that crashed on a New Jersey highway and killed all five people on board told air traffic controllers he was accumulating ice as he ascended, federal investigators said Wednesday. The single-engine turboprop plane spiraled out of control, broke apart and crashed in the wooded median of Interstate 287 in Morris Township on Tuesday morning about 15 minutes after it took off from Teterboro Airport en route to Georgia. Audio recordings made available online Tuesday revealed that controllers cautioned pilot Jeffrey Buckalew and other pilots about icing occurring up to 17,000 feet. “The pilot confirmed that he was picking up ice,” National Transportation Safety Board investigator in charge Ralph Hicks said at a Wednesday news conference. “How much he was picking up we don’t know, and we may never know.”

The plane was equipped with deicing “boots,” but it wasn’t yet known whether those features were activated, Hicks said. Killed were the 45-year-old Buckalew, an investment banker with the Greenhill & Co. in New York; his wife, Corrine, and two children; and colleague Rakesh Chawla, 36. Hicks said Buckalew was licensed to fly singleengine planes and had an instrument rating, meaning he was qualified to fly in weather that requires pilots to use instruments to navigate instead of visually. Salvage crews on Wednesday finished removing the wreckage from an area around Interstate 287, a busy corridor that rings the suburbs west of New York City. Hicks said the largest pieces removed were the main cabin and a 10-foot section of wing. The debris was strewn across the highway, median and surrounding terrain Tuesday, forcing the road to be closed for several hours.

Pentagon sees smooth transition, so far, in transfer of power in North Korea PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — All signs out of North Korea suggest the transition of power to Kim Jong Il’s son is going smoothly, with no unusual troop movements and no buildup around the heavily fortified border, U.S. and South Korean defense officials said Thursday. Pentagon press secretary George Little said that as of Wednesday the U.S. military has not seen any unusual military movements by the North Koreans. “This appears to be a relatively smooth transition on the peninsula, and we hope it stays that way,” he said, adding that there have been no increases in force protection levels for U.S. troops in South Korea. U.S. Navy Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, also said the situation appeared to be under control. “Things are calm there across the DMZ right now. And that’s the way we’d like to see it,” Kirby said, referring to the Demilitarized Zone that divides the two Koreas. South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Yoon Won-sik said North Korea’s military isn’t showing any particular movement and that the South’s troops are operating normally. Ratcheting up its propaganda machine, meanwhile, North Korea
claimed Kim’s death generated a series of spectacular natural phenomena, creating a mysterious glow atop a revered mountain, cracking a sheet of ice on a lake with a loud roar and inspiring a crane to circle a statue of the nation’s founder before perching in a tree and drooping its head in sorrow. North Korean media have presented a steady flow of dramatic scenes of mourning since Kim’s death, which Pyongyang says happened on Saturday after he suffered a massive heart attack while on a train. Tens of thousands of mourners packed Pyongyang’s snowy main square Wednesday to pay respects to him. Women held handkerchiefs to their faces as they wept and filed past a huge portrait of a smiling Kim hanging on the Grand People’s Study House, in the spot where a photograph of Kim Il Sung, Kim’s deceased father and the country’s founder, usually hangs. A report late Wednesday by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said the odd occurrences began when Kim’s death was announced on Monday and the nation went into mourning. State-run media have since the announcement run nonstop eulogies to Kim, who was the center of an intense cult of personality.
U.S. economy seems to be ending year on a roll
WASHINGTON (AP) — The economy is ending 2011 on a roll. The job market is healthier. Americans are spending lustily on holiday gifts. A long-awaited turnaround for the depressed housing industry may be under way. Gas is cheaper. Factories are busier. Stocks are higher. Not bad for an economy faced with a debt crisis in Europe and, as recently as last summer, scattered predictions of a second recession at home. Instead, the economy has grown faster each quarter this year, and the last three months should be the best. “Things are looking up,” says Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ. When The Associated Press surveyed 43 economists in August, they pegged the likelihood of another recession at roughly one in four. The Dow Jones industrial average was lurching up or down by 400 points or more some days. There was plenty of reason for gloom. A political standoff over the federal borrowing limit brought the United States to the brink of default and cost the nation its top-drawer credit rating. Most analysts now rule out another recession. They think the economy will grow at an annual rate of more than 3 percent from October through December, the fastest pace since a 3.8 percent performance in the spring of last year. Many economists still worry that the year-end surge isn’t sustainable, in part because the average worker’s pay is barely rising. And Europe may already be sliding into a recession that will infect the United States. The outlook could darken further if Congress can’t break the impasse
blocking an extension of a Social Security tax cut for 160 million Americans and emergency unemployment benefits. Yet for now, the economy is on an upswing that few had predicted: — JOBS: The number of people applying for unemployment benefits came in at 366,000 last week, down from a peak of 659,000 in March 2009. Even in good economic times, the figure would be between 280,000 and 350,000. Employers have added at least 100,000 jobs five months in a row, the longest streak since 2006. And the unemployment rate fell from 9 percent in October to 8.6 percent last month, the lowest since March 2009. Small businesses are hiring again, too, according to the National Federation of Independent Business. — SPENDING: The holiday shopping season has turned out better than anyone expected. Sales from November through Saturday were up 2.5 percent from last year. Americans have spent $32 billion online, 15 percent more than a year ago. Retails sales were up in November for the sixth month in a row. People are spending, in particular, on clothes, cars, electronics and furniture. — CONSUMER CONFIDENCE: Americans felt better about the economy in November than they had since July, according to the Conference Board, a business group that tracks the mood of consumers. The board’s consumer confidence index climbed 15 points to 56 in November, the biggest one-month jump since April 2003. During the Great Recession, the index fell as low as 25.

LCHIP grant helps restore gate house at Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough
M O U LT O N B O R OUGH — The Castle Preservation Society has been awarded a matching grant of $60,000 by LCHIP, the New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Program for the preservation work just getting going at the Lower Gate House, the small but important building at the entrance to the Castle in the Clouds property. People familiar with the drive along Mountain The Lower Gate House at Castle in the Clouds being enclosed prior Road (Rt. 171) in Moult- to restoration work. (Courtesy photo) onborough, and particularly with the entrance to Castle in the now; it is enclosed in a wood and plasClouds, probably remember the little tic structure--winter protection for the fairy tale building that sits just inside building and for the workers inside who the stone wall. But don’t look for it will be saving the building from what
would surely have been a sad fate. Despite stop gap efforts to stabilize the building, the Lower Gate House has suffered over the years from steady deterioration. Water has seeped through cracks in the stone work and the chimney, wood trim around windows and doors has rotted, tiles are broken or missing in the roof. It is a building in great need of repair. Due to its prominent location on the Castle property and because it gives a first hint of what will be found above at the Carriage House and the Lucknow mansion, the Lower Gate House is a particularly important building to save. The Castle Preservation Society (CPS), a non-profit corporation dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the buildings at the Castle in the Clouds property, has hired Bedard Preservation and Restoration of Gilmanton, which has done the restoration work at the Castle property so far, to restore the exterior of the Lower Gate House. The roof, stonework, windows, window and door frames, oak timbers and rafter tails will all be
repaired or replaced with like material. When the Lower Gate House emerges from its protective cocoon, it will look as it originally did. As with all work being done at the Castle in the Clouds, the Lower Gate House will be restored according to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards: all viable original fabric will be retained and restored, and the dimensions, materials and footprint of the building will be scrupulously maintained. The restoration of the Lower Gate House was one of 23 projects funded by LCHIP from 44 applications, testifying to the importance of the project. The total exterior restoration is estimated to cost $155,300. In addition to the LCHIP grant, the CPS will use funds given by private donors and several charitable foundations, including a $20,000 grant last spring from the Samuel P. Hunt Foundation, and from special Castle fundraising events. Once the exterior of the Lower Gate House has been restored, the interior of the building will be rehabilitated when funds become available.

LSB supports Salvation Army Teddy Bear Ball LACONIA — In conjunction with the Salvation Army each year the employees of Laconia Saving Bank dress teddy bears to brighten the holidays for local children. This year 108 teddy bears were on display enjoying the Holiday Masquerade Ball at Laconia Savings Bank’s 62 Pleasant Street, Laconia office. Each well-appareled teddy bear was chosen and brought home by a very special boy or girl. The bank has been involved for more than 19 years in this very worthy project which supports the Salvation Army’s annual “toy basket” distribution project for area children.
“This entire event is very rewarding. The employees really enjoy dressing the bears and we enjoy creating the display and interacting with the children when they come in to choose their bear. We feel lucky to work for an organization that gives us the opportunity and encourages us to get involved with the community,” says Lindsey Ball, executive administrative assistant for Laconia Savings Bank and Candice Hada, systems support and operational analyst for Laconia Savings Bank.

Dinner hosted by Sally Carver & Jerry Hopkins nets $26,000 for Salvation Army LACONIA — Salvation Army Captain Stephen Warren said he has learned to look forward to a December visit from local couple Sally Carver and Jerry Hopkins. In addition to volunteering to ring a bell near Salvation Army collection buckets, the couple has established a yearly tradition of hosting a Christmas dinner party at which they ask their guests to contribute to the Christian service organization, which operates a soup kitchen, food pantry and homeless shelter in Laconia. In past years, Carver and Hopkins have brought in as much as $16,000.
This year, Carver walked in with donations totalling $26,000. “It was amazing,” said Warren. “You don’t expect that 26,000 is going to walk through the door and be handed to you,” he said. This year is notable for Carver and Hopkins for another reason. After several years of Christmas parties and bell-ringing, the couple has raised a cumulative $150,000 for the Laconia Salvation Army. “Which is just tremendous,” said Warren. “It is just tremendous to see so many that many are very mindful of see next page

Dutch fashion magazine editor ousted over racial slur against Rihanna AMSTERDAM (AP) — The editor of a Dutch fashion magazine has been fired after the publication used a racial slur to refer to Barbados-born Rihanna, setting off a social media furor and prompting an outraged response from the singer. Eva Hoeke, editor of “Jackie,” and the magazine’s publisher said in a joint statement on Facebook that the misuse of a racial slur — “although without malicious intentions” — was cause for Hoeke’s departure after eight years on the job. The slur was used in an article
about how to dress your daughter like a pop star. Responding to criticism that flashed across the ocean, Hoeke said at first that her use of the term was meant as a joke. She then put out a Twitter item with a more explicit apology, saying she learned, “1. Don’t publish bad jokes in the magazine 2. Don’t pretend bad jokes to be funny. Sorry guys. My bad.” On Tuesday, Rihanna responded herself via Twitter: “Your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights! I find you disrespectful, and rather desperate!!”

that last year, the organization provided more than 13,500 hot meals, 9,000 bed nights to homeless persons and gave financial assistance to more than 1,600 families.

By Holiday Mathis some kind of reward or celebration at the end of the cycle. It doesn’t have to be big to be significant. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be processing some negative thoughts. Greet obstinate, unhelpful ideas like old friends. Thank them for visiting, and then send them on their way. You don’t have to believe everything you think. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be like a successful salesperson working the room. What you’re selling might be difficult to name correctly; it’s never what you think it is. More people will buy today than did all of last week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You communicate in a kind of emotional shorthand with the ones you love. Celebrate the ease that comes with this tie. You’ve been through the good and the bad, and you’re still united in friendship. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Those who behave in heartless ways baffle you, but you give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they just don’t know the happiness they will find by leading with their heart. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Everything happens in stages. The action stage is coming. For now, you’re still contemplating how you might make a change and mentally perusing your options. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 22). It’s a year of tough choices. You’ll shine as a decisive, sincere and devoted individual. Community involvement helps you establish a new niche. Actions that help your work will also be quite pleasurable, and vice versa. February is lucky for finance. March will end a hot pursuit with a satisfying outcome. Aries and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 30, 1, 24 and 18.
TUNDRA
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are always capable of dreaming up the kind of zesty plan that makes your eyes widen and your pulse quicken. This is one of the things loved ones count on from you. You’ll be a leader in fun today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have to be able to measure what you’re doing -- not because it matters to you so much, but because it will help you when you’re talking about it to others. People will only understand what is concrete and quantifiable. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a way with words, and you’ll use it to get into an elite situation or out of a tricky one. You align yourself with the people who are in the place you want to be. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may be a bit tired because the recent high level of activity is taking its toll. You’ll get a second wind this afternoon, though, that comes out of your total commitment to make something happen. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Every waking moment, you’ll be scanning your environment for people and resources that fit into your goals and make them easier to attain. Sometimes you won’t even be conscious of the fact that you are doing this. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your schedule will be filled with things you feel you must do, not things you really love to do. Make a plan to remedy this situation by the weekend before someone else makes plans that worsen the situation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You decide what you’re going to do and how you’re going to do it. What will really make the action complete is

On this date: In 1775, Esek Hopkins was appointed the commander-in-chief of the Continental Navy. In 1808, Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67, Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, and Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58, had their world premieres in Vienna, Austria. In 1864, during the Civil War, Union Gen. William T. Sherman said in a message to President Abraham Lincoln: “I beg to present you as a Christmas-gift the city of Savannah.” In 1894, French army officer Alfred Dreyfus was convicted of treason in a courtmartial that triggered worldwide charges of anti-Semitism. (Dreyfus was eventually vindicated.) In 1910, a fire lasting more than 26 hours broke out at the Chicago Union Stock Yards; 21 firefighters were killed in the collapse of a burning building. In 1944, during the World War II Battle of the Bulge, U.S. Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe rejected a German demand for surrender, writing “Nuts!” in his official reply. In 1977, three dozen people were killed when a 250-foot-high grain elevator at the Continental Grain Company plant in Westwego, La., exploded. In 1984, New York City resident Bernhard Goetz shot and wounded four youths on a Manhattan subway, claiming they were about to rob him. In 1991, the body of Marine Lt. Col. William R. Higgins, an American hostage slain by his terrorist captors, was found dumped along a highway in Lebanon. One year ago: President Barack Obama signed a law allowing gays for the first time in history to serve openly in America’s military. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Hector Elizondo is 75. Country singer Red Steagall is 73. Baseball Hall-of-Famer Steve Carlton is 67. ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer is 66. Rock singer-musician Rick Nielsen is 65. Rock singer-musician Michael Bacon is 63. Baseball All-Star Steve Garvey is 63. Singer Robin Gibb is 62. Golfer Jan Stephenson is 60. Country singer-musician Chuck Mead is 51. Actor Ralph Fiennes is 49. Actress Lauralee Bell is 43.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: A year ago, my girlfriend and I started dating, but this isn’t what you would call a normal relationship. She and I live about 500 hundred miles apart, and only met in July on a trip to Florida. We connected four years ago in an online chat room of a popular animated web series and sent messages back and forth. Then she found me on Facebook. A few months later, she called, and we texted back and forth and then graduated to instant messaging and then web cam chats. We fell in love, even though we knew the risks and difficulties of having a long-distance relationship. Recently, I have been pondering the feasibility of our relationship. I don’t want to break up. I want to spend more time with her. But I’m a 20-something with a modest-paying regular job and a part-time weekend job, and I also take classes at a local community college. I find it difficult to save enough money let alone find the time to visit her. Even if she relocated, she would be moving away from her friends and family. Is there any hope for us? -- Madly in Love Dear Madly: Yes, but it requires some difficult choices. You are still young. You haven’t spent much time together, and being with someone in close proximity day after day can change how you feel. Every relationship is a leap of faith. Can she get a job in your area? Can you find one in hers? Would it be better to wait until you are finished with your education? Can you see each other more often if you meet somewhere in the middle? These are things you need to discuss, without pressure or resentment. Dear Annie: I have a problem with my immediate supervisor. She constantly interrupts me. Last week, she came to my desk and inquired about a personal matter. I was halfway through my first sentence when she interrupted with another question. She went on to interrupt four times in a two-minute
period. I think this behavior is deliberate, and I find I don’t wish to speak to her at all. I prefer to email work questions rather than ask in person. The problem is, she sometimes seeks me out to chat. How can I get her to stop interrupting without creating a breach that will make working with her more difficult than it already is? -- Troubled in Tallahassee Dear Troubled: If she is interrupting you on purpose, it’s a power play. Since she is your supervisor, you should politely tolerate it and communicate via email whenever possible. But it could simply be that your supervisor is easily distracted and doesn’t realize what she’s doing. When she interrupts, simply smile and keep quiet until she is finished, and don’t speak again unless she specifically asks you to “go on.” If she has to do it often enough, it might sink in. Dear Annie: “Worried Dad in Gary, Ind.” feared for his daughter, who was in an abusive relationship. Two years ago, my daughter was murdered by her abusive husband at the young age of 26. They had been separated for six months, and two days before he killed her, she had asked for a divorce. My daughter was in this abusive relationship for eight years. We begged her to go to the Domestic Violence Service Center, but she never did. She was over the age of 18, but in hindsight, I wish I had forcibly driven her to the center myself. All women in abusive relationships need to get help ASAP before they are murdered. We need to have mandatory education in our high schools about abusive dating, as well as bullying. -- Mournful Dad in Wilkes Barre, Penn. Dear Dad: We send our heartfelt condolences and hope your letter will encourage others to get out of these abusive relationships before it’s too late.
