Laconia lion John Veazey dead at 81

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Local businessman, civic leader and politician John A. Veazey died Tuesday night after a period of declining health. He was 81-years old.

Veazey was one of the lions of Laconia — working tirelessly as president of the Laconia Industrial Development Corp. through the 1960s and 1970s to bring industry and business to his beloved hometown, all while raising a family and running Boulia Gorrell Lumber Co. “Just a real nice see VEAZEY page 11

Barber’s Pole residents will try again for NWZ

BY MICHAEL KITCH TUFTONBORO — Many of those who reside and summer along Barber’s Pole, the channel between Cow Island and Tuftonboro Neck will likely renew their effort to have the stretch of water designated a “no wake zone.”

Tom Hilbink, who owns property on Little Birch Island, was among several residents to say yesterday that, after the New Hampshire Department of Safety (DOS) rescinded its order granting their petition for a “no wake zone” on procedural grounds, they expected to submit a new request as soon as possible.

Barber’s Pole stretches for about 2,000 feet — about twice the length of the Weirs Channel — from the southeastern tip of Little Birch Island, off the mouth of Orchard Cove, to where the eastern shoreline of Cow Island recedes to the west. Between the buoys to the west and the shore to the see NWZ page 8

Harry Potter vs.

Rapunzel

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Look for a battle of the family movies this weekend as audiences snack on box office leftovers during what is traditionally one of the lesser performing periods of the year.

For the average film, the typical post-Thanksgiving weekend drop is from 50 to 60 percent.

So Warner Bros.’ “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1” in its third weekend and Disney’s “Tangled” in its second will find themselves fighting for the top slot with grosses in the mid to high $20 million range. This will also push total domestic receipts for “Potter” past the $250 million mark and “Tangled” should cross $100 million.

There will be a veritable logjam for third, fourth and fifth place this weekend, with Cher and Christina Aguilera in contention with the second weekend of Sony’s “Burlesque,” Will Ferrell and Brad Pitt in Paramount/Dreamworks’ “Megamind” and Denzel Washington in Fox’s “Unstoppable.”

SAYWHAT...

Virtue has its own reward, but no sale at the box office.”

U.S. House censures Charlie Rangel for misconduct WASHINGTON (AP) — Veteran Rep. Charles Rangel, the raspy-voiced, backslapping former chairman of one of Congress’ most powerful committees, was censured by his House colleagues for financial misconduct Thursday in a solemn moment of humiliation in the sunset of his career.

“I brought it onto myself,” Rangel told the House. But he also said politics was at work.

After the 333-79 vote, the 80-year-old Democrat from New York’s Harlem stood silently at the front of the House and faced Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she read him the formal resolution of censure.

Then, in response, he admitted he had made mistakes, including his failure to pay all his taxes, filing misleading financial statements and improperly seeking money from corporate interests for a college center bearing his name.

But he also declared, “In my heart I truly

feel good.” He said, “A lot of it has to do with the fact that I know in my heart that I am not going to be judged by this Congress, but I am going to be judged by my life.”

It was only the 23rd time in the nation’s history that a House member received the most severe punishment short of expulsion. Aside from the embarrassment, censure carries no practical effect and ends the more than two-year ordeal for the congressman who was re-elected to a 21st term last month with more than 80 percent of the vote.

Relief and defiance took over the moment Rangel finished speaking. Somber, Pelosi quietly slipped out of the chamber, but some Democrats gave him a standing ovation. Rangel made it only a third of the way up the aisle when a phalanx of well-wishers stopped and hugged him; he responded by saying something that made them laugh. He was smiling for the rest

of the 10 minutes or so that it took to get through his colleagues to exit the chamber, his humiliation past.

Despite the censure, he contended in his response on the House floor that it had been proven that “at no time has it ever entered my mind to enrich myself or to do violence to the honesty that’s expected of all of us in this House.”

“I am fully aware that this vote reflects perhaps the thinking not just of the members but the political side and the constituency of this body,” he told his colleagues.

Outside, he told reporters the censure vote was “very, very, very political.”

Still, the matter is likely to stain Rangel’s half-century in public service. The House ethics committee last month found him guilty of 11 of 13 charges of financial misdeeds, including submitting misleading financial statements and failing to pay all his taxes.

Holiday shoppers came out to spend, spend, spend; Wall Street happy NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers had retailers’ registers ringing in November, getting the holiday season off to a roaring start.

Retailers on Thursday reported revenue figures that topped expectations and showed the second-biggest monthly percentage gain in four years, according to one measure. And the reports raise hopes spending might remain strong for the rest of the holiday season and help the economy recover.

for November, much better than the 3 to 4 percent increase expected.

The increase was the biggest since March, when spending tied to an early Easter resulted in a 9 percent gain. Otherwise, it was the biggest gain in September 2006, when it registered 6.2 percent increase.

Revenue at stores open at least a year is a key indicator of a retailer’s health because it excludes sales at stores that open or close see next page

But it’s still early in the holiday game and 40 percent of sales typically come in the last 10 days before Christmas. Analysts expect stores will need to keep up the deep but well-planned discounts. The hangover from the Great Recession hasn’t gone away. Shoppers are still hungry for deals and sticking to a budget.

Hildreth heads off firing by striking a deal, he’ll Hospital kitchen damaged by fire in Woodsville resign as Banking Commissioner on Jan. 1 CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire Banking Commissioner Peter Hildreth agreed Thursday to retire Jan. 1 rather than risk being fired for not doing enough to stop a mortgage firm from swindling investors.

The Executive Council voted 4-1 to accept the agreement, reached on the fourth day of Hildreth’s removal hearing stemming from the actions of Financial Resources Mortgage. Councilor Debora Pignatelli of Nashua voted against it.

The company swindled investors out of millions of dollars before closing in 2009.

Hildreth has been on paid leave since June after refusing Gov. John Lynch’s request to resign. He had been fighting to keep his job so he could retire in September, but under the settlement will step down with the new year, though he won’t actually return to work between now and then.

Retiring rather than being removed doesn’t change Hildreth’s health or retirement benefits, the governor said, adding that he doesn’t consider Thursday’s outcome a settlement on the state’s part.

“He’s in the same place monetarily today as if he would have been in if the removal proceedings concluded next week,” Lynch said. “He’s resigning from his position, which was the goal so we can bring new leadership to the banking department.”

Hildreth’s lawyer said the agreement preserves his client’s good name.

“At least he doesn’t have the black mark of resignation under a cloud or firing in disgrace to carry with him when he starts the rest of his life,” David Nixon said.

Hildreth had no comment after the announcement.

But in testimony Thursday morning, he said he took responsibility for his department’s operations while refusing to acknowledge the failings were his fault.

“I hired the people who were there,” he said. “I have a responsibility I will accept for the failures of the department, but I did not do anything directly

involved in this process.”

Nixon argued that his client should not have been singled out for punishment when no other state agency stopped the Ponzi scheme. The head of FRM and an assistant have pleaded guilty to defrauding investors, but the state continues to probe what happened to find ways to prevent future schemes.

Hildreth had recused himself from handling anything about FRM because his brother was an investor who got his money out before the collapse. The removal petition against him alleged that he continued to be involved in discussions about the firm and that he failed to establish a clear line of command on handling complaints and audits indicating problems.

On Tuesday, Associate Attorney General Richard Head testified his office’s investigation of how state government responded to the collapse of the firm last year showed that banking audits done as far back as 2001 “identified a financial institution that was not operating with sound financial basis.”

Hildreth acknowledged that his department should have held hearings on complaints it received.

“Whether we could’ve found out (about the scheme) or not, we should’ve done better,” he said.

Referring to the scheme’s victims, he said, “These are tough times and when people who were expecting a certain lifestyle aren’t able to have that, that’s a sad thing.”

Those comments riled Al McIlvene of Kittery Point, Maine, who with his wife lost about $800,000 through FRM. “The human tragedy that has gone on here is more than just an impact to a lifestyle,” said McIlvene, who believes Hildreth should have been fired.

“We’re talking about people who are losing their homes, declaring bankruptcy, getting divorced, we’ve had two suicides. This has had dramatic impact on hundreds of people and for him to say it’s a lifestyle change is clearly understating the problem.”

WOODSVILLE (AP) — Patients at the 25-bed Cottage Hospital in northwestern New Hampshire were fed meals Thursday prepared at a nearby nursing home after a wind-swept fire on the roof damaged the kitchen. No one was injured.

The fire, which produced flames up to 10 feet high, prompted the evacuation of the adjacent emergency department.

Staff were prepared to evacuate the 18 patients staying at the hospital to ambulances waiting in the parking lot, but the fire was put out before that was needed, CEO Maria Ryan said Thursday.

“It was very, very scary,” Ryan said. “We drill for these things. It just goes to show we were prepared.”

Ryan said the hospital conducted a fire drill on Tuesday night and a staff member who evacuated patients during the drill Tuesday did it for real on Wednesday.

“This was like a well-oiled machine,” she said. “We don’t have plans that get dusty.”

The Woodsville fire chief, Brad Kennedy, works in the hospital’s emergency department and he was on duty when someone smelled smoke. He investigated, spotted the fire on the roof at about 7:30 p.m. and had fire crews from many area departments were on the scene within minutes, Ryan said. The fire was declared out at 9 p.m.

The kitchen is located in a separate section of the building, but it is attached to the main building.

The fire is thought to have possibly started in the motor of a dishwasher pump. The flames spread up a vent onto the roof.

A portion of the roof will have to be replaced, Ryan said. A temporary wall was installed in the kitchen Thursday but the space is not expected to be open again for several weeks, she said.

Meanwhile, meals will be prepared with food provided by the hospital at a nursing home about four miles away. Ryan said Thursday’s breakfast see HOSPITAL FIRE page 8

from preceding page during the year.

“Discretionary spending looks to be making a comeback,” said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics, a research firm. Retailers’ profits appear to be safe and inventory is at appropriate levels heading into December, he said. But he added that shoppers are still driven by bargains.

November’s results are being compared with weak spending over the last two years. But Mike Niemira, chief economist at the International Council of Shopping Centers, said that plenty of holiday discounting, which started as early as late October, and a recovering economy are helping to boost spending.

The arrival of cold weather after two months of unseasonable warmth helped sales of cold-weather items such as coats, which had been piling up on stores’ shelves.

The retail gains were broad-based, showing that many types of shoppers were in the mood to buy, if the product and price were right. Stores reporting gains that topped Wall Street expectations included Costco Wholesale Corp., Target Corp., Victoria’s Secret and pricey teen retailer Abercrombie & Fitch.

Midpriced department stores including Macy’s Inc. were the biggest winners because they plied shoppers with early-morning discounts on Thanksgiving weekend, but their results were compared

with particularly weak sales a year ago.

Luxury shoppers delivered solid gains to Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus, though business fell short at Saks.

At malls and online over the crucial Thanksgiving weekend, many people were not only buying gifts for others but throwing in items for themselves, including high-priced push-up bras and shoes. That’s a big change from the past two holiday seasons when shoppers focused on practical items like coffee pots and socks for others and bought little for themselves.

According to Perkins’ calculations, total retail revenue at the 30 stores he tracks was 2.1 percent higher than November 2007 levels.

WikiLeaks are the 9/11 of American diplomacy Not since Leon Trotsky began publishing the secrets of the Romanov archives in 1918 has there been a more devastating leak of diplomatic documents than this week’s WikiLeaks dump.

The Romanov files contained the secret treaties the imperial Allies had signed to carve up the Hohenzollern, Habsburg and Ottoman empires after a war fought “to make the world safe for democracy.”

It was to counter cynicism after revelation of these “secret treaties” that Woodrow Wilson called for “open covenants, openly arrived at.”

In 1898, a leaked document inflamed America and infuriated President McKinley, who had not wanted to go to war with Spain.

The Spanish minister in Washington, Enrique Dupuy De Lome, had written an indiscreet letter that was stolen by a sympathizer of the Cuban revolution and leaked to William Randolph Hearst’s warmongering New York Journal. In the De Lome letter, the minister had said of McKinley that he is “weak, and a bidder for the admiration of the crowd, besides being a ... politician who tries to leave a door open behind himself while keeping on good terms with the jingoes of his party.”

Six days later, the battleship Maine blew up in Havana harbor.

Hearst’s Journal screamed Spanish “treachery.” And the war was on.

On Jan. 16, 1917, the German Foreign Secretary Zimmermann had cabled his envoy in Mexico City to convey an offer. If Mexico would join Germany in a war against the United States, Mexico’s reward would be Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.

Written in code, the Zimmermann telegram was intercepted and deciphered by the British, who happily turned it over to the Americans.

The U.S. reaction was even more explosive than it had been to news that Germany had declared open season for U-boats on all ships carrying cargo to Allied ports, including American ships.

Within weeks, America was at war with Germany.

The WikiLeaks dump comes in an age where diplomatic insults are common. Hence, nothing so dramatic as war is likely to result.

Still, this is a diplomatic disaster of the first order.

For what it reveals is that the world’s last superpower cannot be trusted with diplomatic confidences or secrets. Try to help the Americans, and what you tell them may wind up on page one of their tabloid press.

From what has spilled out already, the Iranians know exactly who in the Arab world is goading us to attack their country.

That list includes Persian Gulf sheiks, the king of Saudi Arabia and young Prime Minister Saad Hariri of Lebanon, whose father, former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, was assassinated five years ago, alleg-

edly by Hezobollah, Iran’s ally.

All these Arab friends of America, especially Hariri, have now been put at risk of reprisal and possible assassination. Our diplomats in whom those rulers put their trust have been compromised.

The press has not yet revealed our confidential sources, but foreign intelligence agencies by now have the unedited documents and can figure out who is talking to the Americans and who is not a friend.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai, a prickly ally, but one on whom we have to depend in a war that has cost 1,400 American lives, now has confirmation of what we think of him. If he is thinking of cutting a deal at America’s expense, who can blame him?

Secretary of State Clinton, who has made a favorable impression on foreign leaders, comes off as mildly paranoid with her instructions to have U.S. diplomats spy on and steal credit card numbers of allied diplomats at the United Nations.

Because of these leaks, many U.S. diplomats, who were candid about leaders in the capitals where they represent our country, will see their usefulness diminished or destroyed.

As these documents have apparently come out of Pentagon files, what does that tell us about the U.S. military’s ability to keep a secret?

Are U.S. battle and war plans also unprotected?

How is it that, thus far, only PFC Bradley Manning has been apprehended?

Who vetted Manning? Is it possible one 22-year-old with a computer and disks can get access to, download and transfer to anti-Americans the entire correspondence of the Department of State with U.S. embassies?

Some 250,000 documents — thousands classified as confidential, secret and “no foreign” distribution — were thieved.

Who was in charge of securing those secrets? Why have heads not rolled? What has happened to the idea of accountability?

A few years ago, a leak of the name of a single CIA analyst, Valerie Plame, had the national press in an uproar, with a grand jury impaneled and a special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, named to investigate the leak right up to and into the Oval Office, if necessary.

Vice President Cheney’s aide, Scooter Libby, was prosecuted for lying about the leak. Karl Rove was hauled repeatedly before a grand jury.

Why is the Obama White House getting a pass when this national humiliation and diplomatic Pearl Harbor occurred on its watch?

(Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000.)

LETTERS New Legislature should be prudent in its plans to cut spending To the editor, A recent letter to the editor in the Concord Monitor from Marjorie Porter, a representative (D) in the Statehouse from Hillsboro, confirmed that there are four bills being sponsored (H-53; H58; H-0122 and S-0196) which will not reduce state education spending but “merely pass the buck” to towns and municipalities. In her letter, Representative Porter underscored comments I made at a public forum to “Meet the Candidates” in Sanbornton and Tilton in October. At that time, one of my opponents, Representative Bill Tobin, said he would “cut, cut, cut” state spending and felt that spending on our schools was too high. I clearly stated that cutting state public school spending was a complex process as in many instances one dollar cut means the expense will be sent directly to towns to pay. This seems to be the situation we face today.

Over the last two years, the joint Finance Committee and other House committees worked hard at maintaining the balance between cutting costs and putting extra burdens on local taxpayers. With 45-percent of the state budget being directed to towns and municipalities to support their needs and other large portions of the General Fund going to Health and Human Services and Corrections,

there is little room to maneuver when looking for places to cut costs without impacting local budgets.

I do not want this message to sound like “I told you so”. I want us to make sure that we demand that the newly elected Legislature be prudent in its plans to cut spending. Before the election, action had already been taken to control and lower costs. For example, Governor Lynch requested departmental budgets to come in 5-percent below their spending levels in 20092010. Now, we need the moderate Republicans to continue to work with Democrats and government departments to find other solutions to our budget challenges besides directly cutting across the board. Across the board budget cuts are a simplistic response to a complex problem. Similar measures used by N.H. legislatures in the past have pushed government to make poor decisions and have had a negative impact on town aid. Our newly elected representatives need to be reminded that cuts in education will have many unintended consequences and jeopardize the future employability of our young people.

There is such a thing as penny-wise and pound foolish.

The person you promised to cherish did not start this recession To the editor, Lately, I hear of more people with shaky marriages wanting to throw in the towel and call it quits. Before you throw everything away, look at the one you promised to love honor and cherish, through richer and poorer, sickness and health, so help you God. . .

Take a good look. Just because the economy sucks and you can’t see an end to the current problems our current government got us into, you have to remember that you are not the only ones facing all this stress. The grass is NOT always greener on the other side of the fence, and the trade-in value for another person is not the answer to weathering the storm. Sure the sex may be great at first, but once that gets old, what have you created for yourself besides more bills in the form of alimony, and believe me if you

one house, wait till you have to support two.

More fights in a marriage are over money. Why fight about it? You can’t do anything about it, so relax. If you have to lose your home because you can’t pay for it, then you had best think of shrinkng your home and moving in with friends and/or relatives. Before you take that gun out of the closet, learn how to count to ten and better yet, take a long walk. The prisons are full enough without you adding to the population because of a bad flair up of a temper.

Just remember, that partner you promised to spend the rest of your life with did not cause the problems in this country, unless she is an elected official, in which case, throw them out.

LETTERS History of successful uses on nonviolence go back to 494 BC To the editor, I am responding to Steve Earle’s letter 0f December 2. Because he did not engage in name-calling, he deserves a reply. My field is human development so I will stick to whatever topics that affects this and try to expand my knowledge further in order to advance it. I also want to be clear that I am not against the clergy serving in theaters of war. What I am against is them being in uniform and for taxpayers to be paying their salaries. Let the church foot the bill. I especially find fault with them being in uniform and blessing guns and urging soldiers to kill people.

I am also not a pacifist. I am a military veteran who now believes in nonviolence and very limited violence. I urge Mr. Earle to explore the difference between nonviolence and paci-

fism. Gandhi defeated the British in India through the use of nonviolence, and Costa Rica got rid of its military in the 1940s and was responsible for brokering peace in central America.

The history of successful uses of nonviolence go back to 494 BC. I urge Mr. Earle to visit the web site of the Albert Einstein Institution to learn more about it. I’d also like Mr. Earle to show me any theocracy in the world that is really at peace.

I hope Mr. Earle continues to write more rational letters and to argue points as he did in his letter. There is no need for name-calling as it undermines civil discourse. I wish Mr. Earle a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holiday. We both have a right to be wrong.

U.S. population largely now agrees all patriots have right to serve To the editor, In a perfect world, I would hope that as countries and people we could work through disputes with words rather than weapons. It is not a perfect world though and we are lucky to have brave Americans offering to serve in the military to help keep our country and our world safe.

I am proud to see that the U.S. military AND the U.S. population have come to see that all patriots should have the right to serve. Ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is supported by a wide majority of U.S. citizens (70-percent), and it is supported by a wide majority of enlisted people and military lead-

ers. And ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is the just and right thing to do.

We need the brains and braun of all patriotic Americans who are willing to serve. And we need those people now.

The Pentagon’s study has shown that open service will not effect cohesion, readiness or morale of troops. In fact, supporting the integrity of all enlisted people is more likely to increase the performance of the military as a whole.

It is past time to repeal “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”. Let’s do it in 2010. The world isn’t perfect, but with this step, we can make it more just.

All Americans have a right to serve openly in the armed services To the editor, I feel it important for all Americans to exercise their right to serve openly in the military. We no longer discriminate based on one’s race, creed, or religion,and let individuals serve openly on these items. We no longer should discriminate based upon an individuals sexual preferences. I believe that we as a nation should celebrate diversity, and

learn to love one another.

Dozens of polls have shown that over 70-percent of the American people support the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

It is clearly the desire of the people and myself for Congress to act now and repeal this law before the end of the year. It is a matter of justice.

Too many unanswered questions in the Ward Bird case To the editor, Hello Anna, so nice to hear from you again. I guess I have to start with the five Ws of journalism: Who, What, When , Where and Why. We know the who, what, when and where. As far as the 42 counts of something in South Carolina are concerned, was Ward Bird aware of this at the time? This raises another ques-

tion as to WHY South Carolina had someone on the streets with 42 counts of WHAT? In your words: “He just told the nut that she is to leave. She refused to leave”. Why? Too many unanswered questions. How do you assess that she is a nut, although given more facts I may agree. Oh brother.

Mr. Chase’s letters should be published in comics section To the editor, Some time ago I wrote to your paper complimenting you on your publication and how I enjoyed reading the online version. I must say that your choice to run a letter from Ed Chase today was a poor choice, and makes me less inclined to read your paper or frequent your advertisers. This individual is making aspersions about the

Safe Boaters of New Hampshire that are wholly false and defamatory.

If you are going to run his letters in your paper in the future, I would suggest placing them in the comics section, even then though, I would not find his ravings funny.

LETTERS Thanks for making this year’s Laconia Holiday Parade such a smashing success To the editor, On behalf of everyone from the Laconia Main Street Program, Altrusa International Inc. of Laconia and the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, we would like to thank all involved in making this year’s Laconia Holiday Parade & Santa Fund Train Rides a huge success. The weather was picture perfect with over 65 parade participants lead by this year’s Grand Marshal, Ed Darling. Santa and Mrs. Claus welcomed 600+ children and their families on board the Winnipesaukee Hobo Railroad and the generous donations of toys and children’s items to ride the train far exceeded year’s past. All donations benefited the Santa Fund of the Lakes Region.

Special thanks to the local media for helping to promote the event including The Citizen, The Weirs Times, Laconia Daily Sun, Salmon Press and Nassau Broadcasting. Thank you to the numerous volunteers and community members that helped orchestrate all the activities: Joyce Cameron and friends

from L&R Cleaning Unlimited donated 30 dozen cookies for the train riders ; Val Bergeron & BJs Wholesale Club in Tilton donated hot cocoa, cookies and paper goods; Black Cat Café; Ginger Dubois; Ryan “Elf” Dubois, Sandy Marshall; Ken Sawyer with Franklin Savings Bank for helping with ticket sales and donation collection; the City of Laconia Police Department for coordinating parade traffic along with Laconia Public Works; Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad’s Yvette Bujeaud and company for their continued enthusiastic efforts; Santa Fund of the Lakes Region volunteers including Katy Wells, Kim Lacasse, Janet Brough and Dennis Phelps; all the children and their families and friends who donated gifts; and all the community support. It is events like the Laconia Holiday Parade & Santa Train Rides that truly make our community shine, and it couldn’t have happened without all of your help.

MUGGING from page one “We were just getting ready to go to Cumberland Farms and get something to eat,” C.W. said.

C.W. said both Kimball and Dunn appeared to be “extremely drunk” and that it was Kimball who did most of the talking.

“He told us to drive,” C.W. said, adding that Kimball told them not to use their cell phones and eventually told the driver to go to Red Gate Village.

He said Dunn appeared to be fairly clueless about what was happening and kept asking him and his friends who they were and where they were going.

C.W. said the five of them sat at Red Gate for about a half of an hour trying to talk to Kimball and Dunn.

“We just kept telling them to chill out and we’d take

them where they wanted to go,” he said, explaining that Kimball would be fairly coherent some of the time and then would start yelling at them, warning them not to call the police.

He said the five of the them finally drove to Water Street where one of his friends was able to get out of the car by telling Kimball he had to relieve himself.

He said that’s when his friend called the police.

Kimball then said he too had to urinate and made the rest of them get out of the car.

“Then he just started screaming that he knew we had called the cops,” said C.W. noting this was when Dunn hit him and Kimball hit his friend.

He said Dunn didn’t hit him very hard but then see next page

Investigators have yet to pin down time of Miller’s murder

By Gail OBer

GILFORD — Asst. Attorney General Benjamin Agati said yesterday the investigation into the murder of Roberta “Bobbie” Miller, 54, who was found shot to death in her Country Club Road home on Nov.1. continues.

He said investigators continue in interview and re-interview anyone connected with Miller including her two children, Jennifer and Jonathan and her former husband Gary Miller who owned Miller Auto World in Wolfeboro.

“We’ve reached out to a number of members of her family,” Agati said.

He said the final toxicology report should be finished before the end of the week, but said he doesn’t think a lot of the details will be released to the public at this time.

Miller died of multiple gunshot wounds sometime between the evening of Oct. 29 and Nov. 1 when her body was found by a relative who called 9-1-1.

Her dog, a golden retriever, was also shot. Agati

said that “based on the layout of the house the bodies were found in a common location.”

He declined to identify the type or caliber of the gun but said police do not have the murder weapon in their possession. He said police do not know if Miller or her dog was shot first.

As part of the medical examination, Agati said coroners also examined the dog’s body.

He also said they do not have a clear answer as to how the person or people who killed Miller got into the house.

“I don’t believe anyone is living in the house at this time,” he said.

He said investigators have not pinned down the time of death and are asking that anyone who may have seen Miller from during the weeks leading up to when her body was found to contact the N.H. State Police Homicide Unit, the N.H Attorney General’s Office or the Gilford Police.

“I would say that this investigation is just as active today as it was the day we learned of her death,” Agati said.

from preceding page Kimball came over and really “slugged” him, taking his money.

When asked if he tried to fight back, he said he didn’t because Kimball’s blow had “dropped” him and he knew the police were on their way.

He said Kimball then tried to take the car keys from his friend who was driving but the police arrived and the incident ended.

C.W. said he went to the emergency room the next day and was told he would be fine but that he shouldn’t work for about a week or so. He said his head is still pretty swollen and that he is really “jumpy.”

“I’m pretty shaken up,” he said. “I guess we were just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Dunn and Kimball appeared in Laconia Dis-

trict Court Wednesday morning. Kimball, who is on parole, was returned to the N.H. State Prison while Dunn is being held on $10,000 cash bail at the Belknap County Jail.

After Kimball’s 90 day parole violation stint is finished, he will go to Belknap County Jail, unless he posts $10,000 cash bail, to await trial for the charges stemming from Friday’s incident.

Both men face charges of misdemeanor assault and felony robbery. Kimball is also charged with theft of services for leaving a local restaurant without paying a $68 bar tab.

Meredith Police continue to investigate and say additional charges could be forthcoming.

NWZ from page one east, the channel is about 390 feet wide.

Legal residents, or property owners, of the township in question are the only ones who may petition the commissioner of safety to place operating restrictions, including limits on the maximum horsepower or speed of boats, on lakes, ponds and rivers. After holding a public hearing the commissioner may adopt rules to impose restrictions found to serve the public interest. Altogether restrictions have been imposed on more than 50 lakes and ponds through this process.

Petitions for a “no wake zone” at Barber’s Pole failed in 1988, 1997 and 2008, in part because the New Hampshire Marine Patrol opposed them. Last May, residents tried again. A hearing was held on July 21 and on July 30 Commissioner John Barthelmes issued the order.

However, the order was appealed by a group including Scott Verdonck, the president, and Bob Flannery, the political director, of Safe Boaters of New Hampshire, the organization formed in opposition to legislation to limit speeds on Lake Winnipesaukee. They successfully claimed that some of the petitioners failed to qualify as either residents or property owners of Tuftonboro and the order was rescinded.

The overwhelming majority of those who attended the public hearing and submitted written comments to the DOS favored the “no wake zone.” Moreover, David Barrett of the Marine Patrol withdrew his agency’s challenge to the measure and declined to take a position either for or against it.

Safety was the uppermost concern among advocates of the “no wake zone.” see next page

from preceding page The Boris family has owned Squirrel Island since the 1860s. Vanessa Boris told DOS that that the volume and speed of boat traffic through the passage made travel between the island and the mainland difficult and dangerous. Describing the situation as “truly chaotic,” she likened crossing the channel to crossing I-93. Many of those supporting the “no wake zone” said that swimmers, anglers, kayakers and canoeists were increasingly at risk from powerboats that frequently ignored the 150-foot rule, requiring vessels to maintain headway speed only when within 150 feet of swimmers, rafts, docks, moorings and shorelines, as well as other vessels.

In addition to the hazards of congestion and speed in the channel, many property owners traced increasing erosion along the shorefront to the number, size and speed of boats, whose wakes have undermined trees and shrubs lining the water. Others said that roiling waters have damaged their docks.

Several residents noted that a “no wake zone” at Barber’s Pole would be comparable to similar zones designated between Governor’s Island and Eagle Island in Gilford and Chase Island and Farm Island in Nineteen Mile Bay. Opponents of the “no wake zone” discounted concerns for safety. Michael Burke wrote to DOS saying that there are very few days during the boating

season when traffic through Barber’s Pole is heavy and then “the vast majority of boaters slow down to no wake speed in accordance with the 150-foot rule.” Like others, he called for more education and enforcement of the existing rules rather than more restrictions.

Others said a “no wake zone” would slow travel between the islands and the mainland. Testing the claim of a resident of Sandy Island that 20 minutes would be added to the trip, Thomas Light of Little Birch Island said he paddled the length of the channel in 12 minutes, doubting anyone would have to travel slower than a 55-year-old in a canoe.

In framing his recommendation to the commission, the hearings officer, C.N. Duclos, noted that the testimony echoed much of what was presented in 2008, including a video of vessels passing through Barber’s Pole, which he did not find persuasive.

Instead, he gave greater weight to Barrett’s decision not to contest the petition. Those opposed to a “no wake zone,” Duclos said, did not indicate that any activity in the channel would be restricted or eliminated if it were imposed. Consequently, he concluded that a “no wake zone” would control, without greatly restricting, the diverse uses of the public water at Barber’s Pole.

Barrett said yesterday that in dropping his chalsee next page

What was Lewis & Saunders and then became Smith Tubular Systems is now Titeflex Aerospace

BY MICHAEL KITCH LACONIA — Smiths Tubular Systems, Inc., which employs 268 people at its manufacturing facility at the O’Shea Industrial Park, has acquired a new identity as Titeflex Aerospace, a subsidiary of Smiths Group plc, headquartered in London.

The change of name signals the integration of the Laconia operation with Titeflex Europe SAS of Ozoir la Ferriere, France and STS Titeflex India Pvt. Ltd of Bangalore, all three of which provide fluid management solutions to the aerospace industry. A fourth component, Titeflex Corporation of Springfield, Massachusetts, serves industrial and transportation market.

The four divisions of the Titeflex Corporation produce a variety of PTFE, best known as teflon, and metal hoses with diverse applications in a wide range of industries.

In pursuit of closely aligning the four companies, the Titeflex brand has been revived, the sales force expanded and facilities upgraded. The firm is seeking a marketing coordinator for its Laconia facility.

“Many of our customers are globalizing their busi-

nesses and are looking for their suppliers to do the same,” said Mitch Rogers, managing director of sales, in a prepared statement. “Titeflex has always been a worldwide leader in fluid management solutions, and these initiatives will allow us to meet our customers’ evolving needs.” The firm counts Boeing, Airbus, Pratt and Whitney, GE and Rolls Royce among its customers.

The Smiths Group traces its roots to Baltimore, where in 1913 Joseph E. Lewis began manufacturing tubes and coils. Some twenty years Lewis partnered with William W. Saunders to form a corporation, the Joseph E. Lewis & Company, Inc. With World War II the firm began producing tubular parts for gun mounts, cooper coils for refrigeration units, components for torpedoes and parts for the engines that powered the Boeing B-29 Superfortress.

In 1954, the company opened a branch in Laconia called Lewis & Saunders, which produced primarily copper coils. Soon afterwards, the Baltimore plant shut down. In 1983 Lews & Saunders moved to its current facility with 85,000 square feet of space.

In 1988, both Lewis & Saunders and the Titeflex see next page

from preceding page lenge to a “no wake zone” at Barber’s Pole “didn’t mean I endorsed it either.” He said that the number of citations and accidents in the area did not support the restriction. However, he indicated that if another petition was submitted, he would not challenge it.

Likewise, Verdonck said that Safe Boaters of New Hampshire would not oppose designating Barber’s Pole a “no wake zone.” But, at the same time, he emphasized that the organization will insist that any petition and public hearings be widely publicized to provide all interested parties with an opportunity to participate in the process. He said that his

membership was troubled that a legal notice in a newspaper failed to adequately inform interested parties that a change in operating protocols on the lake was being contemplated. At Verdonck’s request Representative John Hikel (R-Goffstown) has filed legislation requiring those petitioning for restrictions on the use of public waters to notify all abutters of the forthcoming hearing by certified mail.

Meanwhile, Representative Betsey Patten (R-Moultonborough) has also introduced legislation that would authorize the DOS to adopt operating restrictions in the public interest without necessarily holding a public hearing.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, December 3, 2010— Page 11

VEAZEY from page one gentleman,” said long-time friend and former colegislator Stephen Nedeau of Meredith. “He liked to do things his way.”

Nedeau served with Veazey on the N.H. House Transportation Committee and said Veazey was always there with a story about some life experience that was relevant to the topic.

“You always knew something was coming,” he said.

Veazey was born in Laconia in 1929 to Allen G. and Nina (Suttie) Veazey. His father also owned Boulia Gorrell and the son was fond of recalling details of the great hurricane of 1938 and that, even though he was only 9-years-old at the time, he was tasked with following the steamships cleaning the fallen logs from Paugus Bay and retrieving the ones that got away.

He earned a Bachelor of Science from the N.Y College of Forestry in Syracuse, N.Y. and his Masters of Arts from Nichols college in Dudley, Mass. He served form 1949 to 1951 in the United States Air Force.

Among his contributions to Laconia and the Lakes Region was his service as a Ward 1 city councilor and four terms in the N.H. House of Representative, from 1996 to 2000, from 2004 to 2006 and again from 2008 until Dec. 1 — the day before he died.

He was also a Laconia Police Commissioner and the city tax assessor.

One of his last accomplishments as state repre-

sentative was helping enact the boating speed limit law for Lake Winnipesaukee — a cause in which he believed deeply.

Veazey and his wife Phyllis have three children: Allen, Jane MacFazden and Sally McGarry.

Though he retired “officially” from Boulia-Gorrell in 1996, he spent nearly every morning there greeting his customers and keeping his presence known.

“I really liked John,” said Nedeau. “And I’m really going to miss him.”

from preceding page Corporation were acquired by the TI Group plc, an international engineering consortium, which three years later merged with Smiths Industries, the forerunner of the Smiths Group plc. Titeflex Corporation and Lewis & Saunders merged in 2005 to become Smiths Tubular Systems — Laconia, Inc., a supplier of aerospace components. Since then the company has expanded its product line to provide complete fluid transfer systems in flexible, rigid or hybrid assemblies for carrying fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluid, gases or air in engines for aircraft, missiles and space vehicles.

Laconia businesswoman will pay $20 city fee so she can hold charity raffle today

LACONIA — The Laconia businesswoman who initially balked a paying a license fee to hold a raffle to raise money for the WLNH Children’s Auction said she will pay the required $20 to the city.

Carol Brody of Care and Comfort Nursing said she understands now why the city has to regulate raffles and though she does not think people raising money for charity should have to pay a licensing fee, she said she will do it.

“I just wish when they called from City Hall they had explained to me the purpose of the license,” she said.

The city requires every person who wishes to conduct a raffle, whether it is a non-profit or and existing entity raising money for charity to apply and pay $10 for the license. If the application is made within seven days of the raffle drawing, the license fee is doubled.

On Tuesday the License Commission — consisting of Jim Rogato, Police Chief Mike Moyer and Deputy Fire Chief Deb Pendergast — met and agreed that Brody had to pay the fee and a letter would be sent to her stating the decision and why it was made.

“I don’t think she feels she exempt, I think she just thinks it’s ridiculous,” said Moyer who said he had gotten an e-mail from her regarding the fee.

Moyer said that the Licensing Commission operates as “a body of law” and the law is applied equitably to everybody.

Brody’s raffle, which will donate 100-percent of its proceeds to the Children’s Auction ends today. Prizes are on display at her office at 102 Court Street and raffle tickets can, obviously, be purchased there as well.

Celebrity ‘artists’ will put talents to work for WLNH Children’s Auction

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Although this year’s WLNH Children’s Auction will be the 29th time the region’s largest single fundraising activity has been held, there are still new ideas being developed to capture imaginations and inspire the community to bid on items.

Proof for that point is Larry Frates, of Frates Creative Arts Center in Laconia, who has taken a page out of the “Dancing with the Community Stars” playbook and will present a segment where trained local artists will create paintings alongside community “celebrities.” When they’re done, the works of art will be auctioned off and, like all other items sold at the event, the proceeds will benefit the many local non-profits which serve the region’s disadvantaged children.

“The idea is to show people there’s creative ways to help the Children’s Auction,” said Frates, explaining his inspiration, adding that the secondary goal was to “show people that anyone can paint.”

Toward the latter point, he’s invited several untrained or barely-trained local “celebrities” to apply paint to canvas on live television on Wednesday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. The local “celebrities” will be Bob LaBelle, founder of LaBelle’s Shoe Repair, Laconia Mayor Mike Seymour, police Commissioner Warren Clement, who’s taken a single class in caricatures from Frates, and Laconia Police Chief Mike Moyer, who said he hasn’t held a paintbrush since grade school.

Joining the celebrity painters will be some of Frates’s star students, Diane Lyman, Shane Jordan and Deb Brewer. The artists will work on eight inch by ten inch canvasses and will all be trying to replicate the same photograph of a local winter landscape, while Frates provides coaching. Their completed works will be auctioned off throughout the course of the auction, which will conclude on Saturday.

Despite his lack of experience with painting, Moyer said he didn’t hesitate when asked to participate. “It’s fun, sounds great, anything to help the Children’s Auction.” He said wasn’t nervous about the event. “I don’t have high expectations,” he said.

“I have high expectations – of the chief,” added

Laconia Police Chief Mike Moyer and retired police Commissioner Warren Clement get a few pointers from local painter Shane Jordan. The three men will be among those painting during the WLNH Children’s Auction on Wednesday evening. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

Warren Clement, who was looking forward to Wednesday evening and had sifted through his extensive beret collection to find just the right one for the event. “I’m feeling ecstatic, I’m feeling creative.”

Jim Adams, general manager of WLNH Radio (98.3 FM), thought the painting event was a great idea and one of many new ideas members of the com-

munity had conceived to further the charitable effort.

Other innovators include George Brunstad of Meredith, who swam the length of Lake Winnipesaukee this summer, and Miles Chase, who in order to inspire donors will run nearly 80 miles around the lake next weekend. Adams said, “I am shocked at the different ways people will work to help this auction.”

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Talk about a close shave. An SUV crashed into an Anchorage barber shop, narrowly missing shop owner Heng Song and his two customers.

But Song wasn’t about to let the horrifying moment get in the way of a good haircut.

He was momentarily stunned, yes, when the vehicle burst through a door and window Wednesday afternoon as he was clipping a customer’s hair.

“Half a haircut and kaboom!” is how the 53-year-

old native of South Korea described it Thursday, after the shop had been cleared of debris and the gaping hole was boarded with plywood.

The drama was caught by a security camera, and footage shows the SUV land fully inside the shop, where Song stood behind a man in the barber’s chair and another customer sat waiting on a sofa in the corner. Time seems to stand still with everyone stunned, motionless, before Song stands with hands on hips and then points to the SUV.

No one was seriously hurt, although the driver got a bruised knee in the collision with the building.

In the security footage, the waiting customer walks over to the vehicle to check on the driver and calls police.

Song laughed Thursday as the footage showed him soon return to the chair and continue the haircut, while in the background bystanders began to gather. There’s no way he would let a loyal customer go home with a botched job, Song said.

Leaving a customer with half a haircut, he said, would be “something too ugly.”

Silent film “The Black Pirate,” starring Douglas Fairbanks, to be screened at Flying Monkey on December 9 PLYMOUTH — The silent movie “The Black Pirate,” an epic swashbuckling tale of the high seas starring Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., will be screened at the Flying Monkey Moviehouse and Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. on Thursday, December 9.

The forerunner of all pirate movies, the 1926 classic was also one of the first Hollywood films to be released in color. “The Black Pirate” is one of two feature film starring Fairbanks to be screened at this special doublefeature. Also on the program is “The Mystery of the Leaping Fish” a 1915 spoof of the Sherlock Holmes tales.

The Indiana Jones of his day, Fairbanks thrilled early filmgoers with amazing stunts and feats of heroic derring-do. His 1920 marriage to fellow megastar Mary Pickford was one of the era’s biggest media events and resulted in Hollywood’s first celebrity power couple. When the silent film era ended in 1929, an aging Fairbanks found he was less enthusiastic about the effort required to make movies and retired from the screen. He died in 1939 at age 56 after suffering a heart attack. His now-famous lasts words were, “I’ve never felt better.”

The Fairbanks double feature is the latest in a series of monthly silent film

screenings at the newly renovated Flying Monkey Moviehouse and Performing Arts Center. The series aims to recreate the lost magic of early cinema by assembling the elements needed for silent film to be seen at its best: superior films in best available prints, projection on the big screen, live musical accompaniment, and a live audience.

“These films are still exciting experiences if you show them as they were designed to be screened,” said Jeff Rapsis, accompanist for the screenings.

“There’s a reason people first fell in love with the movies, and we hope to recreate that spirit. At their best, silent films were communal experience very different from today’s movies — one in which the presence of a large audience intensifies everyone’s reactions.”

For each film, Rapsis improvises a music score using original themes created beforehand. None of the the music is written down; instead, the score evolves in real time based on audience reaction and the overall mood as the movie is screened.

Admission is free; contributions are encouraged. Dinner is also available for patrons who arrive early. For more information, call 536-2551 or visit www.flyingmonkeynh.com.

Paintbox Studio & Gallery on Canal Street holding open house Sunday LACONIA — The Paintbox Studio and Gallery at 54 Canal Street will be hosting a Holiday Open House on Sunday, Dec. 5, from 3 to 6 p.m. There will be refreshments, and a percentage of sales during the open house will go to the Santa Fund. The gallery showcases original paintings, prints, drawings and note cards and all artists will be available for comments or questions.

The Paintbox Gallery and Studio will also be moving after the Christmas

season as the space it now resides in has been rented. One of the reasons for creating the gallery, through a local group called the Laconia Design Collaborative, was to join forces with a downtown landlord and beautify an empty storefront so that someone would rent it. Lori Taylor, a local interior designer, will be moving into the gallery space after December 25..

The Paintbox Studio and Gallery will be moving into another space one storefront away on Canal Street.

Phil Eisenmann, GYO’s President and Soccer Coordinator, adds, “We’re so excited for the new field space at GYO Park, as our soccer program has continued to grow over the last few years. We can’t thank those involved in the project enough. Without all the generosity of these local businesses this would never have been possible.”

All proceeds from special offer at Laconia Athletic & Swim Club will be donated to Children’s Auction LACONIA — Laconia Athletic & Swim Club has partnered with the WLNH Children’s Auction to help raise money for this worthy cause. The club is offering will be offering 10 guest visits to the club for $10. And all proceeds from this special, month-long event will go to benefit the auction.

The auction runs from Tuesday, Dec. 7 through Saturday, Dec. 11.

The 10 visits for $10 gift certificates may be purchased at the club by members for friends or family, and by non-members for themselves and their guests.

The first visit starts with a tour of the club, and each visit allows full use of club facilities and services. Full details are available by calling or visiting the club.

“The ‘10 for 10’ campaign is living proof that doing good does you good!” said club co-owner Tom Oakley.

“We are proud to support the WLNH Children’s Auction. Together, we share in a philosophy of supporting and encouraging people to live life to the fullest.

At Laconia Athletic, we help to educate our members in the benefits of regular exercise and show that being fit simply makes life better.

Club membership Director Kendra Gilpatric states, “We believe this unique team effort in support of the WLNH Children’s Auction is a perfect ‘10’ that will benefit all those involved, and we look forward to a very successful campaign.”

from preceding page business and began delivering heating fuel to local homes. In 1958, great grandson Sheldon joined the family business, eventually becoming president.

Dow Fuels continued to modernize, moving into fuel oil sales and service stations as the times necessitated, servicing patrons from Conway to the north and Tilton to the south, eventually owning 25 gas stations and changing the name from Dow Fuels to Dow Oil. Dow Oil became an icon in the area, operating until Sheldon’s death in 1972. Sheldon’s widow Joni continued the business by hiring a manager who ran Dow Oil with great efficiency, but when the manager was ready to retire in 1987, she sold the 100-plus-year old business to Irving Oil. Earlier memorial efforts included a scholar-athlete scholarship through the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation and a football scoreboard at Laconia High School honoring Sheldon’s five school letters in track and football at LHS and his success in football at Colgate. Other gifts throughout the Lakes Region memorialize the Dow family, including a room in the Laconia Library.

Stover and her husband, Herbert “Smokey” Stover, toured the Plymouth State University Welcome Center and Ice Area and saw immediately what an important addition it would be to Plymouth, PSU, and the surrounding towns. A philanthropist in her own right, she saw in the Ice Arena and Welcome Center an opportunity to help present and future students and soon made a gift in support of Plymouth State’s Active Living, Learning and Wellness (ALLWell) project to honor the Dow family and their work in the Lakes Region. The welcome center and ice arena is phase one of the ALLWell project.

Stover says the Dow family always stressed the

value of education and all were college graduates and involved in athletics. She graduated from Plymouth State with a master’s degree in 1982 and her granddaughter, Lindsey Daniels, earned her undergraduate degree from PSU in 2009. Stover also taught English composition for five years as an adjunct faculty member at PSU and loved her contact with the students.

“Joni was pleased to see the plaque on the reception desk at an opening event,” says PSU President Sara Jayne Steen. “She was pleased that so many visitors to the Savage Welcome Center will read the plaque and know of the Dow family’s interest in scholastic and athletic achievement. She can be proud of this legacy.”

The high-tech sustainable facility features a welcome center that will provide an attractive meeting place and services for prospective students, parents, and visitors to the campus and to the towns of Plymouth and Holderness and the wider region.

The Hanaway Rink will serve as a teaching facility for instruction and research in ice activities, a home for Panther varsity women’s and men’s ice hockey teams, and a site for student recreation as well as community and club skating.

Plymouth State’s comprehensive ALLWell project will create an environmentally sustainable complex that eventually replaces the existing Physical Education Center and integrates academics, athletics, and recreation in one area to better achieve the University’s educational purposes. The Savage Welcome Center and Hanaway Rink opened this past summer.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be surprised at how some people act.

Before you interpret the behavior, consider that there are those who’ve developed a habit of pushing others away when what they really want is for them to come closer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Ask yourself what you are trying to accomplish before you enter a business meeting, date or any kind of social situation. If “nothing” is the answer, then set some goals for your interactions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You admire someone’s nerve, and yet you also know that your situation will not require you to be so forthright. A kind word and a smooth gesture will take you much farther.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Though you’ve done a good job in the past, do not be content to coast along on your merits. You may be paid to do so, but that shouldn’t limit your work.

Strive to do more, handle more and be more.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some become frozen in the face of the unfamiliar. You are a courageous person who can overcome the fear of learning anew how to operate in the everchanging world. Teach others to do the same.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 3). You will bring greater love and acceptance into your dealings. This month you’ll connect with your loved ones and say what you couldn’t say before. January brings financial restructuring. By February, you feel free and creative in regards to money. New work comes in March.

A long-term goal is reached in August.

Aquarius and Pisces people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 1, 44 and 18.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may not know what it takes to win a game or get into a certain club or relationship. But you are spry, witty and able to learn. And so you have what it takes to make headway today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll enter a room filled with people you don’t know. Though you feel out of your element, you will make a social effort, and in doing so, you will broaden your image of yourself. You’ll be well accepted, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may be convinced that you are a certain way, but the truth is that you don’t know for certain. You’ve only seen yourself in a limited array of settings and circumstances. You are capable of more than you think.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are graceful under pressure and when there is nothing pressuring you. But when it comes to pressuring someone else, you’d rather not. Practice being charming as you ask for what you want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You like to be honest in your dealings, and yet there is nothing to gain from being too blunt today. It’s dangerous to do so.

Think about other people’s feelings and say things in as delicate a way as possible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You say the right thing at the right time. But what is perhaps even better is that you resist every temptation to say the wrong thing or to say too much. Your use of silence is genius.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You feel complete inside. Because of this you don’t need extra attention. This is so attractive, and you’ll be invited places because of the aura of security you exude.

Page 20 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, December 3, 2010

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Three years ago, my father had a big fight with his sister, my “Aunt Joan.” Aunt Joan did some things that were truly selfish and hurtful, and all of the family agrees that her actions were inexcusable. She has since cut off all contact with the family.

The problem is, my father continues to stew over the incident. Every time we see him, he talks about it. He has developed an ulcer and high blood pressure. He will not be satisfied until my aunt admits she was in the wrong and apologizes.

But no one believes that will ever happen.

We want our father to let it go before he stresses himself into a stroke. Aunt Joan is out of our lives and can do no further harm. But as long as he obsesses over the argument, he is still letting her ruin his life and his health. How can I help Dad leave this behind and find some peace? He reads your column faithfully, so your words will mean a lot to him. -- Sensitive Soul in Canada Dear Canada: Part of the problem may be that your father still loves his sister and wants a reconciliation, but knows it can’t happen until Joan changes her ways, which doesn’t seem likely. He’s angry and frustrated -- and hurt. He needs to accept Joan as she is, which means the situation is not his fault and he cannot fix it. Sad as it is, he needs to make a conscious effort to let this go, and it might help to talk about it with someone who can be sympathetic without riling him up.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have three daughters, and we also are foster parents. This will be the first Christmas that we will have foster kids in our home during the holidays.

What is the etiquette for Christmas cards? Do I sign only the names of my immediate family, or do I include the names of the foster children? Should I mention them and their do-

ings in our Christmas letter?

Both sets of grandparents are filing to adopt them, so it is highly unlikely that we will have them permanently, and this will be the only Christmas they will be with us. I am not sure what is appropriate. -- Oregon Foster Mom Dear Oregon: We commend you for taking these children into your home. Please include their names on your holiday cards, and by all means, mention them in your newsletter.

It will not only make the children feel part of the family’s achievements and activities during this time, but it will also explain the extra names on the Christmas cards.

Dear Annie: I have another angle on your answer to “Too Late To Care,” who wasn’t inclined to visit her dying sister.

I am a hospice chaplain. At the end of life, people often see the need for reconciliation with estranged family members or friends. I have seen many cases where the opportunity to hear a few words from a dying person has made all the difference in the lives of those left behind. One woman, estranged from her father for 30 years, told me, “He finally said the words I had hoped for all my life.”

It is not just about the person who is dying. When people ask me whether they should come to the bedside of someone they have not wanted to see for years, I ask them what they are hoping for and how it would help them. There are no guarantees, but there can be healing.

Dr. Ira Byock states that the four things that matter most are the words: “Please forgive me. I forgive you. Thank you.

I love you.” People should not wait until someone is dying to say those words. And it is also important not to wait until someone’s last days, when he or she might not be able to communicate anymore. -- N.H.

3 soloists to be featured at Lakes Region Symphony Orchestra holiday concerts MEREDITH — The Lakes Region Symphony Orchestra (LRSO) will feature three talented soloists at two Holiday Pops concerts to be held at Inter-Lakes Community Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday December 11 and 3 p.m. on Sunday December 12.

The LRSO will perform many seasonal favorites including selections from “The Nutcracker,” “Sleigh Ride,” “O Holy Night,” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

The Symphony is joined this year by three soloists. During a classical portion of the concert, vio-

linists Muriel Orcutt and Jann Sparks will perform Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins in D minor. Orcutt and Sparks are long-time members of the LRSO. Sureya Felch, a vocalist with the Lakes Region Big Band, will be the featured performer in pops-style arrangements of “Winter Wonderland,” “I Wonder as I Wander,” and a rendition of “My Favorite Things.”

“We look forward to these holiday concerts every year,” said Benjamin Greene, now in his 11th year as LRSO’s conductor and music director. “There’s just something very special about hearing this type

of music, performed live with an orchestra, that you just can’t experience from the radio.”

Past holiday concerts have sold-out, so patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets early. The cost is $12 for adults and $6 for students age 17 and under. Tickets are available for purchase by mail, at www.LRSO.org, or from Innisfree Bookshop and the Irving station in Meredith; Greenlaw’s Music in Laconia; Bayswater Books in Center Harbor; and the Hometown Market & Deli in Moultonboro. Unsold tickets will be available at the door starting one hour before each concert.

LACONIA — Canal Street will once again come alive with the arts this Sunday, December 5, from noon to 5 p.m., when the 2nd Annual Gallery Space opens for the holiday season.

Last year artists, photographers, performers, and downtown businesses came together to celebrate creativity and over 300 people supported their efforts by attending this fun filled event. The organizer, Larry Frates, said, “We are not “down” in downtown. In fact the art community and downtown businesses participating in this event would like to have the community see us as an ‘uptown’, where challenges are faced head on and creativity is a key to success.”

Because of that success last year Greenlaws Music, Ian Raymond Photography, Whittamore Florist, and All My Life Jewelry are providing equipment and displays at the 23 Canal Street Gallery Space. UFrame

We Frame will be open to demonstrate their state of the art Computer Mat Cutter, Village Bakery will be providing the refreshments, and Frates Creative Arts Center is organizing the event.

An open stage will once again be available to area musicians, entertainers, storytellers and artists of all ages throughout the afternoon and a new addi-

tion will be an entire miniature alpine village being provided by the Bobotas family, featuring miniature houses, ski area, railroad and villagers.

“So if you’re looking for seeing what ‘uptown’ is up to join us for this fun-filled and creative holiday event at 23 Canal Street,” said Frates.

For details and information call 528-7651.

Patrick’s Pub & Eatery hosts “Pub Mania” 24-hour barstool challenge

Teams will compete for special honors including “Most Money Raised” and “Outstanding Team Performance.”

“Last year’s ‘Pub Mania,’ inspired

by Laconia Athletic & Swim Club’s ‘Cycle Mania’, was the most fun and most successful fundraiser we’ve ever hosted,” explained Patrick’s Pub co-owner Allan Beetle. “The level of enthusiasm and excitement that the participants brought to this event was really amazing.”

Patrick’s, along with event sponsors, local businesses, and area musicians will provide the team members with

food, beverage, entertainment, special guests, fun games, and more. With 26 teams and 24 members on each team, there will be a total of 672 Pub Mania participants.

100% of the funds raised via teams, sponsorships, T-shirt sales, and any other donations will be passed directly to the WLNH Children’s auction. In addition, Patrick’s will donate 20% of their gross sales for the day.

“We see the WLNH Children’s Auction as one of the most impactful community events and we want to continue to help it grow,” said Beetle.
