LACONIA — Attorneys defending a former South Main Street man in the beating death of one of his friends have asked for the case to be dismissed citing prosecutorial vindictiveness and the lack of a speedy trial. Public Defenders Wade Harwood and Tim Landry contend charges of manslaughter and negligent homicide brought by the N.H. Attorney General against Jason Durgin, 35, formerly of 233 South Main Street, for allegedly beating Leo Lapierre to death should be dropped because the state abused its power when it earlier dismissed a single charge of second-degree assault against Durgin after the county attorney couldn’t produce its key witness before jury selection. According to police statements elicited from Tracy Hebert, a woman who lived in the same trailer as Durgin, she saw Durgin punch and kick Lapierre between 9 and 10 p.m. on May 2, 2011 but went and see TRIAL page 9

Theater company believes ‘Mockingbird’ remains instructive story, 50+ years after debut of Harper Lee’s celebrated novel BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BRISTOL — As one of the treasured works of 20th Century American literature, few are unfamiliarity with the story of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” either by reading Harper Lee’s novel, published in 1960, or the classic 1962 film starring Gregory Peck. The story will be presented again soon at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse,
where director Bryan Halperin said the story of a 1930s southern town continues to hold relevance for local residents today. Late last week, two of the Winni Players’ production’s stars spent the afternoon at NJ’s Tangles in Bristol, where owner and stylist Normenta Jacquith helped them get into character. Jaydie Halperin, a fifth-grader at Inter-Lakes Middle Tier and daughter of Bryan, lost nine inches
of her long hair to prepare to play tomboy “Scout,” while Steven Richmond had his hair dyed brown to play the character of “Atticus.” Bryan, who accompanied his daughter at the salon, said the play offers a fresh perspective on the story, even for those who are familiar with the book and film. The production, in his view, illustrates see MOCKINGBIRD page 12

L.A. teacher charged with molesting 23 children
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say the elementary school teacher told the children that it was a game. Once inside his third-grade classroom, they say, he blindfolded them, gagged them and set cockroaches crawling on their faces. And then, Mark Berndt photographed them, creating hundreds of images that would eventually lead to his arrest, police say. On Tuesday, Berndt, 61, was sitting in jail on charges that he committed lewd acts on 23 boys and girls, ages 6 to 10, between 2008 and 2010. None of them complained about Berndt’s behavior, authorities said. Police and school officials only learned of it when a film processor found Berndt’s photos more than a year ago. Since the discovery, the school district fired Berndt and police put him under surveillance. “If it wasn’t for the film processor, this could still be continuing today,” said Lt. Carlos Marquez of the Los Angeles County sheriff’s department. Berndt was arrested see TEACHER page 6

Romney routs Gingrich in Florida, 47-32 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Mitt Romney routed Newt Gingrich in the Florida primary Tuesday night, rebounding smartly from an earlier defeat and taking a major step toward the Republican presidential nomination. Despite the one-sided setback, the former House speaker vowed to press on. Romney, talking unity like a nominee, said he was ready “to lead this party and our nation” — and turn Democratic President Barack Obama out of office. In remarks to cheering supporters, the former Massachusetts governor unleashed a strong attack on
Obama and said the competitive fight for the GOP nomination “does not divide us, it prepares us” for the fall. “Mr. President, you were elected to lead, you chose to follow, and now it’s time to get out of the way,: he declared. Returns from 79 percent of Florida’s precincts showed Romney with 47 percent of the vote, to 32 percent for Gingrich. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum had 13 percent, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul 7 percent. Neither mounted a substantial effort in the state.
The winner-take-all primary was worth 50 Republican National Convention delegates, by far the most of any primary state so far. But the bigger prize was precious political momentum in the race to pick an opponent for Obama in a nation struggling to recover from the deepest recession in decades. That belonged to Romney when he captured the New Hampshire primary three weeks ago, then swung stunningly to Gingrich when he countered with a South Carsee FLORIDA page 10
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government will run a $1.1 trillion deficit in the fiscal year that ends in September, a slight dip from last year but still very high by any measure, according to a budget report released Tuesday. The Congressional Budget Office report also says that annual deficits will remain
in the $1 trillion range for the next several years if Bush-era tax cuts slated to expire in December are extended, as commonly assumed — and if Congress is unable to live within the tight “caps” the lawmakers themselves placed on agency budgets last year. The report is yet another reminder of the perilous fiscal situation the govern-
ment is in, but it’s commonly assumed that President Barack Obama and lawmakers in Congress will be able to accomplish little on the deficit issue during an election year. The report was slightly more pessimistic than CBO’s most recent projections last summer and would mean the fourth see DEFICIT page 12
CONCORD (AP) — Democratic Gov. John Lynch called upon the Republicancontrolled Legislature in his final stateof-the-state address Tuesday to restore higher education aid cuts, double a business tax credit and raise the cigarette tax. In a departure from previous, more conciliatory speeches, Lynch chided law-
makers for demonizing those who disagree with them and urged them to work together, especially in the looming fight to keep the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard from being closed. “There’s a harshness in the air, in the tone and nature of our communication, and particularly within this building, that’s not
healthy for our people or our democracy. We can disagree, without demonizing one another,” he said. House Republican Leader D.J. Bettencourt of Salem said he was happy to work with Lynch to change the tone. “I do hope, however, the governor intends see LYNCH page 12

New Hampshire must reject health care exchanges The New Hampshire House will take up legislation soon that would prohibit a state health insurance exchange and force Washington to repeal, replace or amend Obamacare. A health insurance exchange is a bureaucratic set of state-regulated and standardized health care plans in the United States, from which individuals may purchase health insurance eligible for federal subsidies. Under Obamacare, states must implement these exchanges by January 1, 2014 or the federal government will do it for them. What some may not understand is an individual mandate is just one component of the health care overhaul that is not agreeable to our constitutional law. State health insurance exchanges are really the meat and potatoes of Obamacare, and also the structure that would enable enforcement of the individual mandate. Health insurance exchanges involve the total takeover of the health care market by the federal government, whether through a voluntary state health insurance exchange or a default federal exchange. If you break down the hidden agenda of the Obama Administration, you’ll come to the most egregious part. Exchanges were installed as a subterfuge to trick state legislatures into voluntarily accepting the terms of Obamacare, which are otherwise unconstitutional, and to also get state legislatures to pay for the cost of the health care exchange program starting in 2015. This trick is actually how President Obama was able to come out with the favorable cost estimates that he did when trying to pass Obamacare. His analysis assumed that states would want to adopt their own exchanges to try and maintain state control, but in reality, all they would be doing by adopting a state exchange is agreeing to pay for the cost of administering the exchange after a certain year. Thus, the federal cost would be minimal because the major costs would be downshifted to the states. And then local control would be nothing but a ruse because in “voluntarily” adopting a state exchange the state gives up any arguments it has against the federal law. Yes, it is true that if we have a federal health insurance exchange all decisions would be made in Washington by federal bureaucrats in a central location. However, if we adopted a state exchange, regardless of what type, we still would end up answering to and obeying these same federal bureaucrats. Further, Obamacare says that the states
must meet certain federal standards or give way to further federal takeover. The bottom line is this: as far as these exchanges go, there is no such thing as local control. So what happens if a state says “no thanks,” as New Hampshire has in part done already? Knowing that federal money never comes without strings attached, the New Hampshire House of Representatives this term ordered all grants awarded to us to implement these exchanges be sent back to Washington. It’s a good start, except that’s only part of the solution. A state exchange dooms New Hampshire in a way that forces the state to cover the expenses of a health insurance exchange without assuming any additional local control. This is because by creating a state exchange we agree to the price tag that comes with it. It is the nightmare scenario we all fought against, and the one that helped get Republicans elected in 2010. Creating an exchange entrenches the law in New Hampshire, regardless of whether it’s ruled unconstitutional or repealed. President Obama is cheering on the creation of state exchanges, because each state that creates one makes his dream of implementing Obamacare closer to reality. As the Cato Institute’s Michael Cannon said, “It is easier to repeal a theoretical bureaucracy than a real one.” Several times the House has asked our Attorney General to join the 26-state lawsuit against Obamacare. If we truly want to do this, we should not adopt a strategy that will make us complicit in the law we’re trying to overturn. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear this case in March and common sense would indicate it doesn’t make much sense to waste taxpayer money, federal or otherwise, on a law that might not stand. House Bill 1297 would effectively stop Obamacare in New Hampshire by prohibiting state officials from implementing or aiding the federal government in implementing a state exchange. Let’s keep up our promises to voters by passing this law and prohibiting the State of New Hampshire from creating a state exchange that could be the nail in the coffin of the New Hampshire Advantage. (Rep. William O’Brien, of Mont Vernon, is the Speaker of the New Hampshire House. Rep. D.J. Bettencourt, of Salem, is the House Majority Leader. Rep. Andrew Manuse, of Derry, is a member of the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee and the Joint Health Care Reform Oversight Committee. All are Republicans.)
LETTERS Fundamentalists of all stripes just hate your right to privacy To the editor, I always enjoy Harry’s tantrums against the president. This time its contraception, which 98-percent of all Catholic women DO use. But not to miss a beat, ole Harry uses the occasion of the Catholic battle against contraception to accuse the president of being antiAmerican and anti-Christian. Broken record alert! What senseless drivel comes from this old man full of hate and intolerance. Harry likes a church which seeks to control women’s bodies and tells them how to live. That is the same control freak disorder that radical Islamists suffer from. They fight contraception, too. Like the Taliban, The N.H. GOP House loves UNPLANNED PARENTHOOD! Recently, the president was informed by The Institute of Medicine, an independent group of doctors and researchers. They concluded that birth control is not just a convenience but is medically necessary “to ensure women’s health and well-being.” I agree and think that religion is a poor excuse to keep women from attaining their best health and well-being. Government decisions that help the health and wellness of women are ethical and transcend any religion’s ridiculous reason to control women’s bodies. But that is the Jewish, Muslim and Christian fundamentalist way; to control women as if they are secondrate citizens; chattel. Cattle! What a bunch of Fuhrer wannabees
we have in the U.S. Bishops conference; a bunch of old men who decide for families, which they themselves are barren of, how they may engage sexually and manage their families. Did you know the 1930s Fascists in Italy, Spain and Germany outlawed contraception, family planning clinics and abortion? Harry keeps good company with his ideology. So here are Harry’s allies against contraception availability: Spanish fascists, Italian fascists, German “family values” Nazis, radical Orthodox Jews, radical Islamists and radical Christians. All represent ZERO respect for a women’s right to choose their reproductive future. Harry’s vision is the American nightmare. Lately all the right wing Christian fanatics have come out of their mausoleums of plastic piety to tell us contraception is not right. Rick Santorum actually criticizes the 1960s Griswald v. Connecticut USSC case which made contraception a privacy right. Fundies just hate YOUR RIGHT to privacy. And CONSERVATIVE religion of every kind is afflicted with an age long overdose of obsessive compulsive disorder that tirelessly intrudes into people’s personal lives, especially the lives of women. The president did the right thing. Obama Rocks! James Veverka Tilton
Most writers from the socialist/liberal camp have real mean streak To the editor, Finally, a short letter written by E. Scott Cracraft. Long letters are not read — not by me, anyway. E. Scott has, along with most other writers with a socialist liberal Democrats point of view, a real mean streak. There are others from the area who believe if they discredit Republicans enough that will put them back in office. E. Scott, you really should stay up to date to prevent you from commenting on something you know nothing about. You asked a question, but before you know the truth you use “apparently” — don’t you know? What are the results of those investigations E. Scott? Do you really want to talk about “antics” and being “reprehensible” and “abhorrent behavior”?
judge who is taking a very close look at the non-evidence that Obama is in fact an American citizen? Why not take some of your hooligan buds over at Occupy Oakland? Oh that’s right, one of them, a 17-year-old just choked his foster parents to death after hanging out with your buds. One of socialist liberal Democrats, Bob Beckel, just yesterday on “The 5”, showed the meanness that is your trademark. It was threatening even to an ideologue like me . . . just kidding E. Scott. One of your zombies who is a regular caller to my radio show pleads with your people to call in. She would take away my First Amendment if she could. Not gonna happen E. Scott! Oh shoot, only 250 words. I’ll be back. Niel Young

LETTERS Gilford selectmen still intend to cut 1/2 person from clerk’s office To the editor, This is to clarify the budget process with regards to the part-time position in the Gilford Town Clerk – Tax Collector’s Office and to explain the possible negative impact of budget cuts supported by the Gilford Board of Selectmen. The Budget Committee voted 9-3 to support the recommendation of the Town Clerk – Tax Collector for staffing in 2012. While working at the polling place for the Presidential Primary Election, many of the voters of Gilford took the opportunity to inform me that they had been following the staffing issue in the TC-TC office. They stated they understood that the part-time position had been added back into the 2012 budget and that I would be “all set.” Unfortunately, that assumption is not correct. Therefore, I am writing to explain to the voters of Gilford that the part-time position is not in the selectmen’s budget. Please be advised, that the selectmen met on Jan. 11, 2012 and concurred not to include the part-time position in the 2012 budget. The Board of Selectmen also concurred that they have the final word on how the bottom line of the operating budget is spent after the election; and that they are not required to follow the Budget Committee’s recommended budget which is presented to the voters. What happened? At the beginning of the budget cycle, I was told by the town administrator that the Board of Selectmen was considering reducing the amount of hours in the work week for their town employees. The administrator asked me if it would be better for the Town Clerk – Tax Collector’s office to open later in the morning or close earlier in the afternoon. I agreed to look at the office hours and to see what was feasible for the Gilford citizens and staff. Later in the budget process I met with the Board of Selectmen to discuss the TC-TC office budget and also about reducing the hours of the employees work week. I informed the board that I was not comfortable reducing the number of hours to the public and that the morning, afternoon and evening hours were important to our citizens. The board appeared to be discouraged that I was not on board with the plan to reduce service to the taxpayers of Gilford. In fact, one of the selectmen said, “We want the citizens to feel it and if Denise isn’t willing to reduce her hours they are not going to feel it.” To which I replied, “I think that the taxpayers of Gilford “feel it” every time they receive their tax bill, and the citizens expect and deserve a certain level of service for that tax bill – that’s what I try to provide for them.” We completed that portion of the TC-TC budget with no mention of staff reductions. As a matter of fact by the end of that meeting, the entire Board of Selectmen supported all the positions. As I continued to monitor the budget process, I noticed that other departments were looking for additional funds. In the spirit of cooperation, efficiency and frugality, I recommended that a full-time position be reduced to a part-time position of 24 hours per week. I was able to make the offer due to the creation of new, streamlined daily cash-
up process and adopting the single-line check system. The new system allows the customer to write one check to the Town of Gilford instead of the previous practice of obtaining two checks from the customer for transactions. This new process saves hours of daily labor. As I am sure you are aware, I continue to review the way that we do business to enhance the efficiency of the daily operations with the Town Clerk – Tax Collector’s office as a common practice. At this point in time, The Board of Selectmen met and requested that I consider three options: Option 1 Eliminate one full-time position Option 2 Eliminate one part-time position Option 3 reduce one full-time position to be a part-time position I justified to the Board of Selectmen that there are many “extra” services I elect to provide for the citizens of Gilford in addition to those services that are required by law. I concluded it was in the best interest of the taxpayers and the best compromise to reduce the full-time position to a part-time position. The Board of Selectmen, instead of supporting my decision after I selected THEIR option 3, decided to completely cut and remove a full-time (40 hours) position from the Town Clerk – Tax Collector’s office budget. As an elected official it was then incumbent upon me to appeal to the Budget Committee. I prepared a memo to the Budget Committee outlining all the services and extended hours currently provided by the Office of the Town Clerk – Tax Collector. At a meeting of the Budget Committee, they concluded by a vote of 9-3 to support my recommendation to reduce a position to part-time and increased the TC-TC budget by $12,200 that had been cut by the Board of Selectmen. So, what happens now? The operating budget which is presented to the Legislative Body (the voters of Gilford) at the Deliberative Session on Feb. 7, 2012 is the Budget Committee’s budget, which includes the parttime position for the Town Clerk – Tax Collector’s Office. The Board of Selectmen’s budget eliminates the funds for the part-time position in the Office of the Town Clerk – Tax Collector. I have been advised by the Town Administrator, that if the voters wish to support the recommendation of the Town Clerk – Tax Collector, as you indicated to me you do at the Presidential Primary Election, the operating budget needs to be amended to include $12,200 for the part-time position. How can you help? If you want to continue to receive the same level of services that you have enjoyed in the Town Clerk – Tax Collector’s Office for many years, the voters need to attend the Deliberative Session on February 7, 2012 which begins at 7:00 p.m. and support the recommendation of the Town Clerk – Tax Collector. To reduce 40 hours of staff time from this office means that if an employee is on vacation and another out sick, there may be two people left to run the office. This shortage is a real life scenario and would greatly affect how see next page

LETTERS Investing in natural gas alternative is best way to get away from oil To the editor, A recent letter said, “With our natural (oil) reserves, if exploited, we could not only become energy independent but an exporter to the rest of the world.” It disturbs me that so many believe the conservative political line that all we have do is “drill baby drill” to eliminate the need to import oil. The facts (which can checked on numerous sites on Google) are that we have only 2.2-percent of know world oil reserves, while consuming 25-percent. Yes their is oil shale, and Canadian oil tar sand. These are very expensive to reach,
and require major environmental degradation to access. Even so we don’t stand a chance of becoming oil independent anytime in the near future, unless we develop alternatives to oil. As I said earlier, investing in natural gas exploration, drilling, and pipe lines is the quickest route to getting away from a lot of imported oil. Let’s get real in our political dialog. This applies to a number of Republican claims that I am researching and will write on soon. Kent Warner Center Harbor

To the editor, The Laconia Daily Sun provides free expression of a wide range of political opinions — praise be. Here’s one: I invite readers to take their best shot. I think we should abolish the corporate income tax. My reason is elemental fairness. I think we can all agree that all taxes are eventually paid by people, one way or another. With a corporate tax, we don’t know how much of each tax dollar is paid by customers, by employees, by stockholders or
by anyone else. How can we decide on a fair tax system (whatever that means to you) if we don’t know who is paying? A separate but related question is whether dividends and capital gains should be taxed at the same rate as wages. I personally think so. The first step to fairness is transparency; the second is a level playing field. Your thoughts? Johan Andersen Gilford
TEACHER from page 2 Monday at his home in Torrance and was being held on $2.3 million bail. Some parents picking up their pre-kindergarteners at the school on Tuesday complained that officials at Miramonte Elementary School in South Los Angeles should have notified them when the photos were found. “My concern is why, if the principal knew this in advance, why didn’t he inform us?” said Gloria Polanco, the mother of a second- and a third-grader. “How long has he been doing this?” The probe began after the film processor, who is required by state law to report suspicions of child abuse and molestation, turned over some 40 photographs to authorities. About 400 photos were found at Berndt’s home and at the photo lab during subsequent searches. It’s not clear how many different children were pictured.
At least 10 youngsters in the photos have not yet been identified. Some photos showed Berndt with his arm around children or his hand over their mouths. Some photos showed children with live bugs the size of hissing cockroaches on their mouths or faces. Others depicted girls with what appears to be a spoon up to their mouths as if they were going to ingest a clear-white liquid. Children were fed Berndt’s semen from a spoon or on cookies, Marquez said. Kids reported being fed something distasteful. A blue plastic spoon and container found in the trash in his classroom tested positive for his semen, authorities said. Police recommended the children in the photos be tested for sexually transmitted diseases. There also may be more victims given the length of
from preceding page the public is served when answering the telephone calls, will cause waiting lines at the counter, will impact how we handle the legal requirements of giving lunch hours to employees and it is probable that the office will have to eliminate the Thursday evening hours. A cut is not the level of service you deserve! On average, the cost of funding the part-time position is $2/ per household annually. On Feb. 7, 2012, in order to uphold
my election promise to the taxpayers of Gilford to provide them with excellent customer service, I am prepared to stand before the meeting and propose an amendment to Article 9 of the Town Warrant. I am asking you to be there to support the amendment. If you would like additional information or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 527-4718 or dgonyer@ gilfordnh.org.

Chili cook-off earns $1,700 for Humane Society & bragging rights for Gilford’s Lyons’ Den LACONIA — The 2nd Annual Chili Cook-Off, hosted on Saturday by the Weirs Beach Lobster Pound and for the benefit of the New Hampshire Humane Society, saw nearly 300 people show up to sample entries from 14 local establishments. About $1,700 was raised for the non-profit organization and defending champion Lyons’ Den (Gilford) again was the crowd’s favorite. Coming in second place in the popular vote was the “Beanie Weenie Chili” brought by the Humane Society itself. Gunstock’s chili earned the third-place honor. The real winner, though, was “Amigo,” a black and white long-haired cat discovered homeless and badly injured. The money raised will help pay for emergency medical attention that included the amputation of a damaged tail and the treatment of a broken leg. “Amigo” is recovering and, when he’s ready, will
be made available for adoption. “We are thrilled and honored to be part of the Lobster Pound chili cook off, said shelter spokesperson Marylee Gorham. “Such support is gratefully accepted and never taken for granted at our shelter. The funds will help us provide the care Amigo needs and will ensure he ultimately finds a loving home. Our thanks to all the restaurants that participated. Some returning, some new. We hope to count them in for another gastronomic competition next year.” In addition to the winners, participants included Annie’s Cafe & Catering, Burrito Me, Christmas Island, Common Man 104 Diner, Hart’s Turkey Farm, Heat Restaurant, Homestead, Kitchen Cravings, the Looney Bin, My Family Tree, Tavern 27 and the hosts, the Weirs Beach Lobster Pound. — Adam Drapcho

Authorities could have arrested Berndt on misdemeanor charges when the investigation began but chose to build a stronger felony case, Marquez said. He could get a life sentence if he is convicted. At first, neither the parents nor the children
believed they had been molested, so there wasn’t much reaction, according to sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore. It was only after the matter of the semen was raised that they became alarmed. Berndt, who has no previous arrest record, was placed under surveillance and is not believed to have had contact with children during the investigation. Mexican Lunch Menu

FRANKLIN — The Franklin pediatrician accused of prescribing excessive amounts of oxycodone and behaving unprofessionally on Facebook yesterday blamed the family of a 13-year-old patient for reporting him to the New Hampshire Board of Medicine. Mark Weinreb said he took out a restraining order against the teenage patient after she sent him a threatening message on Facebook. The teenager’s mother worked for Weinreb at his Central Street practice, so he fired her, he said. The mother then complained about Weinreb to her daughter’s pediatric psychiatrist, who contacted the board of medicine, Weinreb said, prompting the investigation that led the board to suspend his license last week. “This is all triggered by a restraining order we had against one of the families,” Weinreb said in a phone conversation on Monday. The pediatrician, who is barred from practicing medicine until the board decides whether discipline is warranted, said yesterday he disputes many of the allegations made by the board, which accused him of canceling medication refills for a 9-year-old with mental health issues after she sent him a Facebook message that angered him. Weinreb said the board’s version of events was inaccurate and incomplete. “The main thing is it wasn’t a 9-year-old. It was a 13-year-old. . . . And she was very threatening,” he said. “She said she was going to come over and beat me up, and she told me a couple of curse words.” Weinreb did not explain yesterday why the girl would have threatened him. But he said he didn’t think it was inappropriate for him to be Facebook friends with her or other pediatric patients, despite the board’s allegation that he committed professional misconduct by doing so. “I think other doctors do it,” Weinreb said. “I was trying to keep track of what my families were doing. Not that I would message them . . . but so I could find out the best way to help them. I use Facebook as more of a tool . . . what they were doing, who they were dating.” The board’s order also accuses Weinreb of hugging a female staff member, who is not named. But Weinreb said the woman is the staff member who was the subject of his restraining order. He said he socialized with her, and “she was going through a lot of stress,” he said. “She said, ‘You can hug me, because we’re friends.’ “ He refused to comment on the board’s allegation see next page

CONDOS from page one approximately $42,000 and $80,000 in value according to their size and view. The owners are members of the Paugus Bay Plaza Condominium Association. The 29 commercial units are owned by Ogp, LLC, of Manchester, whose principal Steven Cotran heads the master condominium association, which together with the two associations comprised of the condominium owners and commercial tenants, manages the entire property. In accordance with the Planning Board’s approval, the residential building operated as a conventional hotel/ motel for some time. But, some years ago the reception desk was abandoned along with any outward indication in the form of signage or advertising that the units are available to travelers or transients. Instead, the individual owners arrange to let their units. However, in the eyes of the town, the property remains a hotel/motel, subject to the restriction of the from preceding page that he resigned his privileges at a Massachusetts hospital after a mother complained about his hugging during a pediatric appointment. But he did refute the allegations that he prescribed oxycodone to two pediatric patients in such large quantities that, if taken as prescribed, the dosages would have been lethal. For the first patient, a teenager who had leukemia and abdominal pain, “I only would prescribe twice a day,” Weinreb said. The board’s order said Weinreb prescribed the teenager more than 2,000 oxycodone pills over an 11-month period, but “I knew he didn’t have them all at the same time,” Weinreb said. The second patient was prescribed more than 1,200 pills over a 10-month period, according to the board’s order. But Weinreb said he only prescribed one pill a night to the patient, who had back pain following a car accident. As for the overall quantities, “I don’t do pill counts,” Weinreb said. But when there were extra pills, the mother of the two patients “was getting rid of them,” Weinreb said. The board noted in its order that the mother had
zoning ordinance limiting occupancy to no more than 30 consecutive days or no more than 30 days in any 60 day period. Only one unit, reserved for the hotel/motel manager, can qualify as a year-round residence. Meanwhile, the deeds to the condominiums designate them as “resort units,” which are restricted to “recreational use similar to that of a motel or motor lodge unit and only for transient lodging.” The deed stipulates that neither ownership nor occupancy of a unit indicates that owners or occupants have “established or intend to establish residency” in Gilford and expressly prohibits them from using units as legal residences. Furthermore, owners are prohibited from using their units or permitting them to be used “for any purpose other than as a transient accommodation.” Finally, the deed restricts the right of owners to rent to the same tenant as well as to occupy their units see next page sent the pediatrician text messages asking for pain medication for her children, but Weinreb said he wasn’t writing the prescriptions on her behalf. “I was trying to help the child out,” Weinreb said. “It wasn’t like I was giving it to her to sell.” While the board said Weinreb knew the family was under investigation by the Division for Children, Youth and Families, Weinreb said the agency determined the mother wasn’t selling the drugs and closed its case. The board also said Weinreb knew other medical providers had concerns about the painkiller use of one of the woman’s children. Asked to respond to that allegation, Weinreb said he had sent the children to specialists, who would refer them back to him for the oxycodone prescriptions because “they didn’t feel comfortable doing it.” Weinreb was scheduled to appear before the board of medicine on Wednesday, but his lawyer, Kenneth Bartholomew, said yesterday he asked for the hearing to be continued until March. He said he could not comment on Weinreb’s explanation for what triggered the board’s investigation, except to say that he had seen a complaint that came from a patient and was “a little confusing with regard to the details.”

TRIAL from page one locked herself in her own bedroom because Durgin allegedly threatened her. Lapierre’s body was discovered lying outside the trailer the next day. Durgin was arrested on May 4 and charged with one count of second degree assault and ordered held on $100,000 cash only bail. He has been incarcerated in Belknap County Jail since then. A Belknap County grand jury indicted Durgin in July of 2011 for one count of second degree assault in a case prepared by the Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen and scheduled for jury selection on November 7, 2011. Four days before the trial and knowing that Guldbrandsen had been unable to serve a subpoena to Hebert to be deposed on the day of jury selection, Asst. A.G. Benjamin Agati indicted Durgin on the homicide charges, giving, according to Durgin’s defense, the state a second bite at the apple and in doing so denying him his right to a speedy trial. Durgin was arraigned on the new charges on Nov. 7 in Belknap County Superior Court. He was ordered held on the same $100,000 cash-only bail. Harwood and Landry argue that once Guldbrandsen knew Durgin would remain in jail on cash bail he was unlikely to ever produce she dropped the second degree assault charges and, by doing so, reset the clock on a new trial on the higher charges being leveled by a different prosecution team. In New Hampshire, the state A.G.’s office pros-
ecutes violent homicides while lessor charges, like second degree assault, are typically prosecuted by a county attorney’s office. Harwood and Landry also say the charges against Durgin should be dropped because in preparing Durgin’s defense against the second degree assault they had filed motions to limit what the jury could hear, waiting until Judge James O’Neill said there would be no more continuances, which gave a different prosecutor an early and, in their mind, unfair peek into Durgin’s defense strategy. Defense attorneys filed their limiting motions in late October, which included a motion to impeach key witness Tracy Hebert because of her alleged alcohol and/or drug use during the time of the incident, her alleged admission to self-mutilation that indicated mental instability, and her consensual sexual relationship with Durgin. Durgin’s defense claims the state also unfairly substituted an arraignment on new charges rather than a jury selection on the old ones. He claims without Hebert, Durgin could not have been convicted for second degree assault, would have gone free and was therefore denied his constitutional rights against due process and unlawful detention. In his objection to the motion to dismiss received yesterday morning by the trial court, Agati said he pursued his own charges against Durgin based on additional forensic evidence garnered when the state medical examiner made her own decision to consult with an outside forensic specialist regarding the damage done to Lapi-
from preceding page or house their guests for more than two consecutive weeks between September 1 and June 1. In other words, the deeds to the units are more restrictive than the town zoning ordinance. But, only the grantor of the deed, not the town, can enforce its terms. However, the town can, and does, deny legal residence to occupants of the units. Town Clerk/Tax Collector Denise Gonyer said that her office will not register vehicles to anyone claiming 131 Lake Street as their address. Dave Ackeredge, president of the Paugus Bay Plaza Condominium Association, said yesterday that the organization has worked to address the concerns of the town, stressing that the relationship has been “not been adversarial in any form.” The board, he explained, has repeatedly reminded unit owners of the restrictions on their property, emphasizing “this is not an apartment complex.” Likewise, attorney Craig Donais, who represents the association, offered that unit owners also understand that because they provide accommodation, they are liable for the state Rooms and Meals Tax on rents charged. In 2010, Ackeredge, accompanied by Donais, appeared before the Zoning Board of Adjustment to request a variance to change the use of the units to senior housing. He told the board that unit owners wanted the ability to rent for a longer period, specifically to tenants 55 years old and older from September to May, in order to reap some income from their property. He claimed that the Marriott TownePlace Suites in Gilford offered “extended stays” of 60 to 90 days or more, noting that the units at Paugus Bay Plaza provided similar accommodation.
At the time, Andrade and board members voiced concerns about tenants seeking to establish residency. Ackeredge acknowledged the problem and assured the board the association would cooperate with the town to enforce restrictions. Advised that the board did not consider senior housing an appropriate use, Ackeredge withdrew the request, indicating that the association would return to discuss other possible off-season uses. The association has not approached the ZBA since and Ackeredge said there were no plans to do so. However, he stressed that the association was seeking to establish “a methodology for self-policing” to ensure unit owners were in compliance and provide the town with a fresh proposal. “We are working through this,” he insisted. “We’ve made progress and we’ll get there and there is definitely going to be up.”
erre’s brain by Durgin’s alleged assault. He said Guldbrandsen’s decision to charge Durgin with second-degree assault was made before she had the outside consultant’s additional information as to what he said is the real cause of Lapierre’s death. As to Durgin’s argument that Agati had an unfair look into his defense strategy, he said it is only logical in a case where there is “one key witness” to challenge the credibility of that witness. He also argued Durgin knew he had a chance of being indicted for homicide-related charges by his office because defense counsel knows the A.G. and only the A.G. prosecutes violent homicides in New Hampshire and defense counsel had been repeated calling his office in the two month before the November 2011 trial date to see what he was planning. “The defendant’s motion notwithstanding, the decision to pursue these charges was void of any ill motive or desire to game the system and rather reflect the independent judgement of a separate agency regarding crimes arising out of expected testimony of witnesses in the case,” Agati wrote. He said Durgin’s claim of gaming the system with the dismissal of the first charges was not untimely because the county attorney had not allowed the jury to be picked nor had Durgin’s trial started. As to the speedy trial issues, Agati said he’s never seen a case where a speedy trial motion has been granted in a homicide when a defendant has been incarcerated less than a year. Agati said the cases he reviewed indicated speedy trials were not granted in any instances in New Hampshire where defendants faced three and four times the holding and waiting time while incarcerated as Durgin has in this case. Agati said it took Durgin six and 1/2 month just to assert his speedy trial rights and since he didn’t then and hasn’t argued his high cash bail, he can’t be overly affected by his time incarcerated in Belknap County. He said further there was no vindictiveness on the part of the state because the manner and cause of Lapierre’s death learned from the outside consultation was the driving factor behind the new and harsher charges. In a hearing yesterday in Belknap County Superior Court, both sides they would be ready for jury selection on March 12 and for the trial to begin shortly thereafter. O’Neill office had just gotten Agati’s argument against the motion to dismiss and he said he would read the arguments and then determine if additional oral arguments were warranted or needed for him to make a decision.

White files for selectman’s Funnier than the debates? Yes. But there’s sadness in ‘Political Suicide’, too position in Belmont
BY JESSICA DAVIS Politicians who speak out on controversial issues like social security, welfare, and the divide between rich and poor risk re-election and may even commit “political suicide.” But their courage and dedication have captured the imagination of Oscar winning playwright Ernest Thompson, known worldwide for the play and movie “On Golden Pond”. Thompson’s docket of four short plays, “Political Suicide”, is running now at Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia and promises theater-goers a full slate of hilarious and touching moments. At one point in the first act, I briefly collapsed with laughter; at the end of the second act, the woman sitting next to me was in tears. “I remember,” she whispered softly. “Political Suicide” has an ensemble cast of five that includes Thompson who also wrote and directs the show. The three women and two men, all capable and engaging performers, change parts and situations for at least two each of the four short plays. Austine Howard, veteran actress and co-founder of the Little Church Theater in Holderness, is in one play a zealous voting volunteer and in another, a destitute rich matron. In both, she totters between humorous and heartbreaking in portrayals that are believable and polished. Meredith Imbimbo plays two very different roles (a young mother and a vampish trickster) with equal panache and Evan Clinton of Laconia and Pat Langille of Lebanon both rise to the challenge of sharing the stage with Thompson one on one. Clinton, who has studied acting with Thompson, is commanding on stage. In his alternating roles as an eager young voter and a disillusioned youth, he balances outrage and intensity with considerable flare. Pat Langille is a veteran actress who starred in “Steel Magnolias” last summer at Laconia’s Winnipesauke Theater. She is delightfully comfortable on stage and fully engaged in her splendid characterizations of a cynical volunteer in one venue and in another, the biggest journalist in a very small town. In both Clinton’s and Langille’s performances opposite Thompson, they hold the audience’s attention in equal measure. No small accomplishment in a production in which Ernest Thompson quite simply
REVIEW ‘Political Suicide”, four short plays written and directed by Ernest Thompson is playing at Pitman’s Freight Room (94 New Salem Street) in Laconia. Performances are February 3, 4, 5 & 10, 11,12 at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees February 5 & 12 at 2 p.m. Tickets: 603-744-3652. www.WhitebridgeFarmProductions.com
steals the show. I am old enough to remember seeing Thompson play Ranger Matt Harper in at least one of the 12 episodes of NBC’s 1974 TV series “Sierra”. It actually felt sort of déjà vu to see him bound on stage in his law enforcement uniform at one point in the show. But his comic portrayal in another was wildly unexpected. Completely transforming his appearance through gesture and movement, he is outrageously funny as the director of a welfare office. The audience has the chance to meet the “real” Thompson in his introduction to the show and that short encounter makes the transformation even more surprising and enjoyable. Before the show the audience hears two songs with lyrics by Thompson and music by Joe Delault. They are beautifully performed by vocalists Samantha Farrell and Christine Oblman but the audience is left wondering how these haunting melodies herald the humorous social commentary that is to follow. More understandable are the variations (mostly sorry and funny) on song and dance (no doubt another political metaphor) that Thompson uses as a unifying thread among the four pieces. Throughout the show, Thompson’s direction keeps the action moving within a spare stage set that serviceably changes and disappears for each script. After a rollicking first act that burlesques voting rituals, citizen protest, and welfare, the second act features one longer piece, “Rewrite”, that more seriously addresses the underlying theme of political suicide. While edged in humor, “Rewrite” puts what we’ve seen in poignant perspective. In a story of political idealism lost and found, Thompson and Langille invite us to reflect on old dreams, current realities, and the persistent possibilities that lie within. The show is billed as “Funnier than the Debates” and just as the recent Republican debates gave us plenty of good reason to laugh, there was something sad about them too. “Political Suicide” is like that. It’s not to be missed.
BELMONT — With three days left to go in the period assigned for residents to sign up for March town elections, most of the open slots have candidates. Christopher White will be on the ballot for the Board of Selectmen. Unknown at press time is whether incumbent David Morse will seek re-election. He had not filed as of Tuesday. All three 3-year seats open on the town’s Budget Committee have incumbent candidates as Ward Peterson, Mark Roberts and Tonyel Mitchell-Berry have all signed up to run again. Ruth Mooney, who was seated just this seat to fill a vacancy, has signed up for the one of the two 1-year seats open on the Budget Committee leaving one 1-year vacancy as of yesterday at noon. New candidate Mark Mastenbrook tossed his hat into the ring for one of the three Zoning Board position. Incumbents Pleasant Oberhausen and Marshall Ford have not signed up for re-election as of this moment. The filing deadline is Friday at 5 p.m. Election day is Tuesday, March 13. — Gail Ober FLORIDA from page 2 olina upset 11 days later. Now it was back with the former Massachusetts governor, after a 10-day comeback that marked a change to more aggressive tactics, coupled with an efficient use of an overwhelming financial advantage to batter Gingrich in television commercials over a 10-day campaign. For the first time in the campaign, exit polls showed a gender gap in Romney’s favor. He ran far better among women than Gingrich, winning just over half of their votes, to three in 10 for his rival. Only about half of the women voters said they had a favorable view of the thrice-married Gingrich as a person, while about eight in 10 had a positive opinion of Romney. As in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, about half of Florida primary voters said the most important factor for them was backing a candidate who can defeat Obama in November, according to early exit poll results conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks. Not surprisingly, in a state with an unemployment rate hovering around 10 percent, about two-thirds of voters said the economy was their top issue. More than eight in 10 said they were falling behind or just keeping up. And half said that home foreclosures see next page

ingering emotions, bvious Hints, ying hearts and xtreme joy are all to be experienced this Valentine’s Day as all lovers try to find that special something. The Laconia Daily Sun has come along to offer a helping hand and a gentle nudge in the right direction within these pages. from preceding page have been a major problem in their communities. Gingrich, from neighboring Georgia, swept into Florida from South Carolina, only to run headlong into a different Romney from the one he had left in his wake in South Carolina. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, shed his reluctance to attack Gingrich, the former House speaker, unleashing hard-hitting ads on television, sharpening his performance in a pair of debates and deploying surrogates to the edges of Gingrich’s own campaign appearances, all in hopes of unnerving him. Restore our Future, an outside group supporting Romney, accounted for about $8.8 million in the ad wars, and the candidate and the “super PAC” combined outspent Gingrich and Winning The Future, the organization backing him, by about $15.5 million to $3.3 million, an advantage of nearly 5-1.
Gingrich responded by assailing Romney as a man incapable of telling the truth and vowed to remain in the race until the Republican National Convention next summer. He won the endorsement of campaign dropout Herman Cain and increasingly sought the support of evangelicals and tea party advocates, a former House speaker running as the anti-establishment insurgent of the party he once helped lead. Bombarded by harsh television advertising, some Floridians said they had soured on both candidates. “The dirty ads really turned me off on Mitt Romney,” said Dorothy Anderson, of Pinellas Park, adding she was voting for Gingrich. She said of Romney, “In fact if he gets the nomination, I probably won’t vote for him.” At the same polling place, Romney supporter Curtis Dempsey expressed similar feelings but about Gingrich. “The only thing Newt Gingrich has to offer is a big mouth,” he said.

DEFICIT from page 2 straight year of trillion-dollar-plus deficits. The recent wave of shocking, trillion-dollar-plus deficits has been largely a product of the recent deep recession and the slower-than-hoped recovery. The jolt to the economy has made a permanent dent in revenue estimates but the budget crunch will get even worse with the retirement of the Baby Boom generation and the resulting strain of Social Security and Medicare. The report prompted a familiar wave of statements from lawmakers casting blame on the other for the fiscal mess.
“Four straight years of trillion-dollar deficits, no credible plan to lift the crushing burden of debt,” said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., “The president and his party’s leaders have fallen short in their duty to tackle our generation’s most pressing fiscal and economic challenges.” “We will not solve this problem unless both sides, Democrats and Republicans, are willing to move off their fixed positions and find common ground,” said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D. “Republicans must be willing to put revenue on the table.”
MOCKINGBIRD from page one how community theater affords actors and audience members the chance to consider difficult issues of society, such as racism, classism and justice, through the buffer of fiction. “We can have discussions through the relative safety that we’re playing characters.” “It’s really about three kids and this horrible thing that happens in their town,” said Bryan. The central conflict in the story is created when a young woman from a poor white farming family accuses a black man of sexually assaulting her. Though her claim seems dubious, townspeople have to decide if they’ll take the word of a black man over the woman’s accusation. Atticus Finch, a lawyer, defends the accused. Atticus’s daughter Scout and her friends try to reconcile their uncomplicated understandings of right and wrong with the apparently unfair behavior of their white parents. “I think it’s an important lesson for kids,” said Bryan. “It’s the kids in the play that see the injustice.” Jaydie, while getting her long brown hair trimmed to shoulder-length, said the play reveals the complexity of discrimination. She related the issue to something discussed recently at school. “My school counselor has been talking to us about bullying.” In many cases, she said, the bully has previously been the victim of bullying himself. “In the adult world, it seems even more so.” Richmond, who is relishing the chance to play Atticus, said his performance is informed by his life
experience. For four years in the 1970s, he worked as a child welfare social worker in Roxbury, Mass., where his case load was almost entirely black families. His work brought him into the home of his clients and would petition on their behalf in courts of law. “It gave me an experience I never would have had, some insighst into the black community I never would have had.” “I love playing this role,” continued Richmond. “The wonderful thing about Atticus is that he’s a man of incredible principles. He is a model citizen in his community.” The character believes strongly in the rule of law and the equal application of the same to everyone in the community. However, a later plot twist causes the lawyer to reconsider that stance. “Atticus has something very important to learn. I love that about this character,” said Richmond. Jaydie is savoring her role as well. She’s performed many roles in children’s plays and this will be her first major role in a grown-up drama. She doesn’t shy from the sticky issues central to the play. “I think people say we’re not as racist as we used to be – which is true, but people still need to see things from other people’s perspectives. They still need to learn these lessons.” Richmond, Jaydie and the 32 other actors will take to the stage beginning February 10 for eight performances of “To Kill a Mockingbird”.

LYNCH from page 2 to have that be a two-way street because frankly I’ve seen members of my caucus demonized and attacked in personal ways I have never seen before in New Hampshire politics,” he said. In his nearly eight years in office, Lynch has repeatedly espoused bipartisanship, even when Democrats had control of the Legislature. Lynch announced in September he would not seek a fifth term, but on Tuesday sounded like someone laying out campaign issues for Democrats competing in the fall election. Many of his criticisms of Republican actions were met with applause by Democrats. Lynch won an unprecedented fourth consecutive twoyear term in 2010, surviving a Republican takeover of New Hampshire’s Executive Council, House and Senate. Since then, the GOP-controlled Legislature has passed into law a number of issues over his objections, including a bill to expand the legal use of deadly force. Lynch also criticized the Legislature for a number of other decisions it made in the past year, including cutting state aid almost in half to the University System of New Hampshire. Lynch said the cuts hurt businesses trying to grow in the state. “This is exactly the type of shortsighted reduction that undermines our economic strategy and jeopardizes our vitality for years to come,” he said. He said lawmakers must make it a priority to restore the funding, but did not say where the money would come from. Senate President Peter Bragdon said he was disappointed by Lynch’s calls to increase spending. “Maybe the governor forgets we just had a severe budget crisis caused by a lot of over-spending in the prior four years. So, a little discouraged to hear calls to get back on the spending bandwagon so quickly,” said Bragdon, R-Milford. Lynch also blamed a 10-cent cut in the state’s cigarette tax for the tax’s revenues falling $13 million below last year. He said that has wiped out gains in business tax revenues. “The cut in the tobacco tax was nonsensical. That money would have been better spent in our community college and university systems, for example,” he said. “We should roll it back, and use the revenue to invest in our economic future.”

by Darby Conley
Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis whom and whatever comes your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll make some quick decisions and set new priorities. A loved one can’t keep up with you but would like to at least know more about what you’re doing. Share the details of your day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve been playing it a lot safer than usual, perhaps because you realize the stakes are high, especially in matters of love. Not taking a risk is dangerous, too -- maybe more dangerous than taking one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you look on a person with tenderness day after day, the affectionate connection becomes a habit, the habit becomes a bond and the bond becomes part of who you are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re still holding on to someone’s wrongdoing against you. There are so many benefits to forgiving this person that forgiveness would almost be an act of selfishness. So, what are you waiting for? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Everyone must agree on some aspect of reality for things to move forward. Telling the truth promotes health in bodies, relationships and organizations. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 1). New habits you form over the next 10 weeks help you to balance your emotions and set burdens free. You’ll be a stellar example for loved ones as you create relationship success wherever you go. Financial opportunities in March provide a boost that helps you go into a new interest or business this summer. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 21, 3, 28 and 18.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are competent, organized and focused. Those who are less structured will be attracted to you as they believe, on some level, that you will help them reign in their scattered energy and accomplish something of meaning. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are independent and self-motivated. Still, you’ll do your best work when you’re accountable to somebody for it. Tell someone you admire what you’re up to, and ask this person to check in on your progress periodically. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re open-minded and will therefore pick up some helpful tips and shortcuts from sharing individuals. For instance, someone’s productivity method may work for you. Try it out and see. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your assumptions are what make things so. The rules are not as concrete as they seem. Poke around, and you may discover they are rubbery enough to bend or brittle enough to break through with minimal effort. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You cherish your privacy and need time to yourself. However, avoid seeming closed off and aloof to loved ones. You’ll benefit from an open communication policy. Encourage their questions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be all business. You’ll finish up what you started and immediately look for the next project worthy of your time and attention. There are sure benefits to being slow to decide. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a plan, but you’re also willing to toss it for something better. An open mind will be essential as you’ll get the most out of this day by being ready to entertain

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband and I moved from Alaska to Hawaii a year ago to help a friend who is suffering with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). “John” promised to pay my husband $120 a day if he would leave his job and act as caregiver. My husband agreed, and he not only helps with all his physical therapy, but also takes him to all doctor and other appointments. We have taken care of his vacation rental business, repairs on his house, landscaping and general upkeep. We also have cooked all his meals for the past 10 months. Six weeks ago, John was in a hospital 50 miles away, and we visited almost daily to help with his physical therapy. On days when we couldn’t be there, we sent others to keep him company. While he was in the hospital, John gifted us with $21,000 for a piece of land he sold. We’ve spent $2,000 of it on his bills, brakes for his car, medications, etc. Now that he is home, he says he was too generous and wants the money back. So far, we’ve returned $12,000. Annie, we have never been paid a dime for our services, including the daily $120 he promised my husband. John is angry and mean-spirited and rages against everyone. He accuses us of stealing and lying. My husband is a saint with the patience of Job. John doesn’t have much longer to live. We will continue to help, but I believe this latest attempt to take back the money is a form of abuse. He has more than enough financial resources. What shall we do? -- Gifted or Not Dear Gifted: You and your husband have been kind and generous. In the later stages of his disease, John may not only be depressed. He also may not be thinking clearly. Please forgive his rants, but protect yourself in case you are held liable for the remaining disputed money. Keep
itemized lists of what you have spent the “gift” on, what you have paid for John’s benefit out of your own pocket, and the amount he promised to pay your husband for his care. And talk to a lawyer as soon as possible. Dear Annie: I am in my early 60s, fairly attractive and happily married. My job requires me to travel and meet salespeople, and they are usually men. The agenda includes an occasional business lunch or dinner. My problem is that every once in a while, one of these men -- invariably a short, older, heavyset, balding guy -thinks he is the most attractive man alive and that I can’t resist his charms. After our business dinner, he will give me a call late at night and ask, “What are you wearing?” Even though I make it quite clear to these guys that I am married and not interested in them, what kind of idiotic, inappropriate question is that? It might work when you’re paying for phone sex, but rest assured, the woman on the other end of that line is probably clipping her toenails. Please tell them this question will put an end to any potential relationship. -- Amazed in Honolulu Dear Honolulu: We agree that this question is both inappropriate and idiotic to direct at someone you have just met at a business dinner. These guys must be desperate for female attention and clueless about how to get it. Dear Annie: I have another story about having the same name as someone’s pet. My name is “Theresa,” and while at a barbecue at a friend’s house, I found out her dog has the same name. It was funny to watch both of us respond every time someone called “Theresa,” with me saying, “Yes?” and the dog going, “Woof.” We all laughed about it, and she was such a cute dog that it did not matter to me one bit. -- Vermont

Gilmanton Land Trust opens $1.18 million campaign to save Frisky Hill view GILMANTON —The Gilmanton Conservation Commission will hold a public hearing Monday, February 6, at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Offices (Academy) in Gilmanton Corners on a $1.18 million project to conserve one of the most recognized special places in Gilmanton, a large hayfield atop Frisky Hill. The directors of the Gilmanton Land Trust, in partnership with Five Rivers Conservation Trust and the Gilmanton Conservation Commission, have launched a campaign to conserve the field, which features a view of much of Gilmanton and the Belknap Mountains. Community surveys over the past two decades have repeatedly cited this spot as a conservation priority according to Carolyn Baldwin, Gilmanton Land Trust secretary. Also included are two hayfields along Route 107 overlooking Loon Pond with views of Mount Kearsarge and Ragged Mountain to the west. A parcel on Meetinghouse Road, with more than 1,000 feet of frontage on Meetinghouse Pond, includes another productive hayfield and a portion of snowmobile trail maintained by the Gilmanton Snowmobile Association. (This pond is the largest waterbody in Gilmanton to remain completely undeveloped.) The tract also has a 200 year old stone structure built and used for processing flax, the only one known to exist in the state. An open hayfield on Loon Pond Road completes the conservation package.
The owner of these lands is George Twigg III, a former longtime resident of Gilmanton and now of Kennebunk, Maine, who is pleased with the concept of a conservation outcome and has generously agreed to a sale price significantly below the property’s appraised value. To date the Gilmanton Land Trust has raised approximately $200,000 in private support of the conservation project. The federal Farm and Ranchland Protection Program has awarded a $532,000 grant towards purchase of conservation easements. Further fundOn any clear day, motorists, cyclists and walkers pause to enjoy the extraordinary view of Gilraising will continue to manton and the Belknap Range from the top of Frisky Hill on Route 107 in Gilmanton. A concomplete the project servation project to forever preserve this view has been initiated by the Gilmanton Land Trust. Next Monday’s hear(Courtesy photo) ing will provide an opportunity for the public to learn more about the project, funding plans. For more information contact Carolyn including conservation easement information and Baldwin at 435-8814 or cwbldwn@metrocast.net.

PLYMOUTH — An inspiring story of poetry, friendship, self-expression and cultural identity marks the return of Plymouth State University’s documentary series “Community Cinema.” In “Deaf Jam,” a neighborhood slam poet from New York collaborates with a hearing-impaired writer to create pomes that not only sing, they dance. The documentary will be shown Wednesday, February 8 at 7 p.m. in PSU’s Boyd Hall (adjacent to Highland Street). The screening is free and open to the public and is followed by a discussion led by Dr. Ann Berry, Professor of Education. The five documentaries shown at Plymouth State University this spring will encourage community
conversations about race, gender, disability, and inclusivity. Community Cinema, a partnership between PSU and New Hampshire Public Television, features documentary screenings from the PBS Independent Lens series followed by a discussion facilitated by PSU faculty members. Each screening is free and open to the public. Also scheduled for screenings are: “Daisy Bates: First Lady of Little Rock,” “Women, War and Peace,” “Troop 1500” and “Hell and Back Again.” For more information on the Community Cinema series, call Dan Moore, 535-2525 or dmoore@plymouth.edu.
