Billings & Carty bring ‘I’m Sorry’ valentines to Inter-Lakes School Board meeting By adaM drapcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — It seemed at last week’s budget hearing that there was no love lost between much of the Inter-Lakes School Board and board member Jack Carty and Meredith resident Mark Billings. After a week-long separation, though, the two, who had issued sharp criticism of the board, sought to patch things up at last night’s meeting. Billings, at the budget hearing, had called “unconscionable” the board’s withholding until a day before the budget hearing of details of a newly-negotiated teacher’s union contract. At the hearing, he called the contract a “spit in the face of the taxpayers,” accusing the board of failing to substantially address escalating health care costs. At last night’s board meeting, though, Billings apologized for the comments. “I was out of line. You people deserve our sincere thanks for the work see I-L page 10

LHS down to 640 students but future looks stable By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Since 2004, when 825 students were enrolled at Laconia High School, the student body has shrunk by 23-percent to the 640 students who answered the bell when school opened last fall. According to the United
States Census Bureau, between 2000 and 2010 the number of school age children, between five and nineteen, fell 14-percent, from 3,186 to 2,750. The steepest drop was among those aged five to nine, whose numbers decreased by 20-percent, from 1,054 to 842. The number of 10 to 14 year-olds declined
14-percent, from 1,048 to 904. During the decade the number of households with at least one child younger than 18 decreased by 13-percent, from 1,883, 1,643, and their share of all households dropped from 28-percent to 24-percent. School Superintendent Bob Champlin said yesterday that
classes number approximately between 160 and 170 in the 13 grades from kindergarten through high school. Without significant demographic change, the current enrollment projects high school enrollment will number between 640 and 680 for at least the next dozen years. see LHs page 6

Wyo. fugitive runs out of gas, calls sheriff for help
EVANSTON, Wyo. (AP) — A 59-year-old fugitive is back behind bars after he ran out of gas in Wyoming and called the local sheriff’s office for roadside assistance. The Wyoming Highway Patrol said Tuesday that Richard Vincent of Prineville, Ore., was wanted in Georgia for violating parole on a murder and escape conviction. Vincent called the Uinta (YOO’-ihn-tah) County Sheriff’s Office sent state troopers to help him out. When they learned that Vincent had an outstanding felony warrant from Atlanta, he was taken into custody. Vincent is now being held for Georgia authorities pending extradition.

Lockdown at Keene schools ends when man surrenders KEENE (AP) — A lockdown at four New Hampshire schools brought on by a police search for a man with a gun ended Tuesday after the man turned himself in at Keene police headquarters. Keene Superintendent William Gurney said the schools were on lockdown about four hours, beginning after 6 a.m., as police searched for “someone with a shotgun who was distraught” following a domestic dispute. The lockdown was lifted after the man surrendered to police at the station. Police said no one was injured.
Keene Police Chief Kenneth Meola said Adam Martz, 21, of Keene was charged with simple assault and resisting arrest. He was being held on $10,000 bond. He had not been assigned a lawyer by Tuesday afternoon, the Keene public defender’s office said. The chief said the search for Martz began shortly after 4 a.m. when police were called to the building where he lives with his girlfriend to investigate a domestic disturbance. While en route, police received a call saying the girlfriend had fled to another
apartment in the building. Meola said police arrived to find Martz standing on a balcony with a long gun in his hand, telling police to shoot him. He went inside and then ran from the building and into swampy woods behind Keene Middle School and the district’s administrative offices. Gurney said police called and asked if he could delay opening the schools, but Gurney told them the school buses were already rolling. The middle school, Keene see KEENE page 9
WASHINGTON (AP) — House-Senate talks on renewing a payroll tax cut that delivers about $20 a week to the average worker yielded a tentative agreement Tuesday, with lawmakers planning to unveil the pact Wednesday and sending the measure to President Barack Obama as early as this week. Under the outlines of the emerging agreement, a 2 percentage-point cut in the Social
Security payroll tax would be extended through the end of the year, with the nearly $100 billion cost added to the deficit. Jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed would be renewed as well, with the $30 billion cost paid for in part through auctioning broadcast spectrum to wireless companies and requiring federal workers to contribute more toward their pensions. GOP lawmakers leaving a party meet-
ing said they were told a tentative pact had been reached but said some details could change before the compromise was finalized, probably on Wednesday. They described the session as largely positive, and several predicted the House would approve the deal. The payroll tax cut and renewing jobless benefits were key planks in Obama’s see PAYROLL TAX page 7
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A former Penn State vice president on Tuesday asked a judge to throw out charges that he lied to a grand jury investigating former football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky and that he did not properly report suspected child abuse.
Gary C. Schultz said his statements to a grand jury that he felt the allegations against Sandusky he fielded from a graduate assistant in 2002 were “not that serious” and that it wasn’t clear to him that a crime occurred are opinions that cannot be proved false.
“Perjury prosecutions rarely rest on expressions of opinion or belief,” wrote Schultz defense lawyer Tom Farrell. Schultz also joined a motion filed Monday by co-defendant Tim Curley that challenged the failure-to-report charge on see PENN STATE page 10

A French model for raising American kids One item in the annals of American exceptionalism is how exceptionally badly behaved American children are. We who hang around international airports often marvel at how European toddlers wait calmly while their American cohorts run down the halls or lie sprawled on the floor in a screaming tantrum. This is a generality, of course, but you know it’s a solid one. Journalist Pamela Druckerman has experienced the difference as an American mother of a toddler living in Paris. She discusses French parents’ seemingly miraculous ability to civilize their young children in her new book, “Bringing up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting.” What makes the story appealing is the author’s own humble story of doing her best to discipline her toddler but obviously getting something very wrong. At a French seaport restaurant, Druckerman wrote in The Wall Street Journal: “Bean would take a brief interest in the food, but within a few minutes she was spilling salt shakers and tearing apart sugar packets. Then she demanded to be sprung from her high chair so she could dash around the restaurant and bolt dangerously toward the docks.” Every meal became torture, as the pint-sized tyrant wrecked her parents’ vacation. Druckerman found it “weird” that the French families seemed be having a good time. “French toddlers were sitting contentedly in their high chairs, waiting for their food, or eating fish and even vegetables,” she wrote. “There was no shrieking or whining. And there was no debris around their tables.” Clearly, toddlers are not uncontrollable savages. Nor did French parents beat them into submission. But they knew the insanity of trying to “negotiate” with tiny ones. The secret sprung from a very different mindset about raising children. The objective wasn’t disciplining them but educating them. French parents established early on that they were not the children’s servants and that “no” meant “no.” The last point is most interesting, because American parents seem
quite able to say “no.” The problem is they don’t do it with conviction. They shout “no, no, no, no” rather than saying “no” once at a normal volume but like they mean it. French children learned early on that they are not the center of the universe. They must adjust to family mealtime schedules. Meanwhile, the parents feel entitled to adult time, during which the children are expected to play quietly — and do. I’m amazed to call friends who, when their children demand attention, put me on hold, not them. One mother lets her teenage offspring interrupt phone conversations. (I try to stifle my contempt.) We’re not talking about that gruesome “tiger mom” stuff, whereby the children are insulted, threatened and hounded into performing feats of brilliance — academic or otherwise — for the glory of the parents. The French, however, do spend much time reading to their children and showing them things. These principles are familiar to fans of John Rosemond, the childrearing expert especially beloved by American conservatives. And consistent with Rosemond’s views, child-centered homes breed less happy parents. In a Princeton study comparing child care experiences of mothers in Columbus, Ohio, and Rennes, France, American mothers found child-rearing twice as unpleasant as their French sisters. But what conservatives should also consider is their government’s potential role in making parenthood less stressful. The French government provides paid maternity leave, wellrun day care and preschool. Probably nothing would boost America’s middle-class birthrate like a modicum of help for working parents. But I digress. With much of American family life fallen into chaos, we would do well to look elsewhere for guidance on ways to do things. America is not the best at everything. (A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)
Many of Obama’s records have been kept secret from Americans To the editor, Last week Scott Cracraft shared with readers his frustration with those who continue to maintain that Obama was not born in the U.S. — “birthers” as they have come to be called. Scott cites the letter’s of Jack Stephenson, whom I too have read and communicated with. Let me say right here that I do not know the truth of the matter. I read many forwards supporting the claim but do not know the source or reliability of them but do know Jack believes them with all his heart. Realize too that Scott believes just as truly
and deeply in his point of view. As I see it though both men believe but do not KNOW beyond a reasonable doubt though both maintain they do. The problem is, and has been, that far to much of Obama’s records have been sealed, kept secret from the American people. For example ask about the man’s collage transcripts? You can’t get them. Ask for a birth certificate and it takes nearly two years to get one released. Ask, ask, ask about all kinds of background information and it’s glazed over, around see next page
LETTERS Only about 300 people will vote, compared to 1,700 on ballot day To the editor, In response to a letter in Tuesday’s paper against passing SB-2 for the Moultonboro School District, I would like to offer a few counter points.The letter writer states that “Both forms of governance provide sufficient time for interested voters to examine, study and discuss proposed school warrants prior to voting. Claims to the contrary are false. Such claims are either misinformed or designed to mislead.” I beg to differ. At traditional town meeting, warrant articles are changed sometimes multiple times and voters are asked to make an immediate decision and vote on the spot, often times not fully understanding the final wording. A case in point is Moultonboro Town Meeting warrant article 10 in 2008. Despite the evidence of video as to what occurred and what was said, this one warrant article has led to four years of confusion and debate over playing fields and a potential community center. Our selectmen as recently as February 7, 2012 could not explain what really happened in 2008. Scores of thousands of tax dollars were expended that could have been prevented if voters had more time to
fully vett the article. If the article had been debated in a deliberative session, we would have had 30 days or so to get answers and fully understand the implications before voting on it. In 2008 we did not. In 2012 we have before us a convoluted three part article 22 that will surely be amended by both sides of the issue and voters will again be asked to vote on the spot. It will in all likelihood be a totally foreign warrant article to what was presented to citizens by the selectmen at the warrant hearing in early February. A fully informed electorate? I think not. In addition, only about 300 people present will get to vote, not the 1,700 hundred that voted last year on ballot day. Lastly, look around the state of N.H. and all the successful SB-2 deliberative sessions these past few weeks. Look at the Newfound School District where 500 people showed up and ultimately supported the school board’s budget. I would urge voters to vote YES on article 2 on the Moultonboro School District ballot on Tuesday March 13th. Paul Punturieri Moultonboro
Letter attacking Sen. Forrester couldn’t have been more misleading To the editor, It is hugely disappointing that a recent letter to the editor by Paula Trombi and Patsy Kendall attacking Senator Jeanie Forrester was not researched to present the facts to readers of your paper. So, for the record, let’s present the facts: Trombi/Kendall claim that Senator Forrester voted to cut state funding for fuel assistance. FACT: The state of NH does not provide fuel assistance — fuel assistance is provided by the federal government and it was President Obama who cut the funding, saying that the program needed to return to “a more sustainable level.” Trombi/Kendall claim that Senator Forrester voted for a budget that denied funding for a variety of programs. FACT: Senator Forrester voted to restore funding to many programs including the developmentally disabled waitlist, mental health for children and adults, children in need of
services, uncompensated care, and catastrophic aid. When the Republicans took control, they faced an $800-million deficit caused by unrealistic revenue projections and overspending by the Democrats. The N.H. Constitution requires a balanced budget, and the Republican legislature produced a truly balanced two-year budget, spending $4.42-billion in general funds, including an 11-percent reduction from the last biennium. This is the first time since World War II that a biennial budget spent less than the previous two years. It’s too bad, and really sad, that Patsy and Paula felt the need to attack Senator Forrester, and the seven other women (Diane Downing, Jodie Herbert, Carol Gerken, Helen Heiner, Barbara Lauterbach, Terry Jutton, and Renee Speltz) who decided to step up to the plate and raise funds for those in need because of cuts made at a federal level.

LETTERS Sheriff doesn’t have power not expressly granted by Constitution To the editor, Clearly, the High Sheriff is escalating the taking over of a police department’s statutory duties into an editorial brouhaha. The High Sheriff and his deputies have statewide law enforcement authority under certain circumstances. If that were as simple as said, out of context, in time, there would no longer be a police chief or police officers in Barnstead, Gilford, Laconia or any other of the municipalities comprising Belknap County. The blue shirts will all be replaced by brown shirts. Unlike other states in the union, in New Hampshire, “[c]ounties are subdivisions of the state in which some of the powers of state government are exercised by local functionaries for local purposes.” (O’Brien v. County of Rockingham, 80 N.H. 522, 523 (1923). Such governmental subdivisions have only “powers (that) are EXPRESSLY GRANTED to them by the legislature and such as are necessarily implied or incidental thereto.” NH Constitution, Part II, Article 38, is the only powers granted to the sheriff. How the High Sheriff denied equal dispatch services to Gilford, and in the next money making adventure, works so hard to take over the duties of the police department in Barnstead should give Belknap county voters pause. Will the next elected sheriff decide to terminate such responsibilities? Will Barnstead see changing of the brown to blue shirts every two years depending on who is elected sheriff? If this was the constitutional make up of county law enforcement services, RSA 104 would have a sub-section empowering the High Sheriff’s, at the request of the voters, to compel the county to provide full time police duties to protect and serve them. The potential of irreparable conflicts of interest between full-time policing and court ordered duties by deputysheriffs is a liability that is insur-
mountable. Would the sheriff’s SWAT Team be summarily activated for Barnstead by the High Sheriff or the selectmen? The courts have said time, time again that they will not insert language that is not written into the law. The High Sheriff argues it’s a cost effective measure originating from the selectman. Is the real issue money or is it political squabble about the selectmen controlling or interfering in police department personnel issues or a methodology regarding law enforcement? Then again, is it empire building? A county policing department is contrary to Home Rule. The Legislature has not relegated to the High Sheriff or the sheriff’s deputies the power to do anything beyond those directed by the court other than to assist a municipality in times of emergency. How can any taxpayer allow negotiations of employment compensation agreements of “police-deputy” personnel to be embraced by a county bureaucracy that operates unchecked by the delegation? How will it be determine if a deputy sheriff, working in any town, is conserving the peace, preserving public order, preventing and detecting crime, enforcing criminal laws by, among other things, raising a posse and arresting persons who commit crimes in their presence, or serving criminal warrants, other writs and summonses, or transporting prisoners? If the protect and serve separation of police powers between the State Police, sheriff responsibilities and local police authority is to be disturbed, setting a precedents for all N.H. counties, let the Town of Barnstead or the county provide a legal opinion that will pass muster before the N.H. Supreme Court. Where is the Attorney General regarding this constitutional issue? This is of statewide concern. Thomas A. Tardif Laconia

My whole family is committed to our Inter-Lakes school system To the editor, My name is Rebecca Alosa and I am running for the Meredith seat on the SAU #2 School Board. In 1994, I graduated from I-LHS, and went on to pursue my M.Ed. at PSU, where I have been an adjunct professor in the English Department for five years. Currently, I am also a professional tutor, and am pursuing an advanced graduate degree at PSU. In 2009, I filled a one- year vacancy on the board as a resident of Center Harbor, and that following March, I ran in the town elections, wining a three-year term. During my tenure, I was a member of the Policy Review Committee, kept up to date with important legislative issues, went to many workshops held by the NHSBA, from preceding page or ignored.

Meredith developer files counterclaim against trustees in FRM bankruptcy By Gail OBer
rather borrowed money from lenders through FRM at a high rate of interest to improve the properties by building and developing them. “Any funds or interest allegedly paid were for developmental rights and valid bona fides expenses incurred on properties now benefiting the bankrupt estate,” he said in his response filed Monday. Theoretically, once the properties were developed to a certain level, Coyne and other developers would have then qualified for traditional bank loans at much lower rates of interest and would have been able to repay Farah, who would have repaid the lenders.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MANCHESTER — A Meredith real estate developer has filed a counter claim against the federally-appointed trustee overseeing the FRM bankruptcy, alleging he never received interest from the now jailed mortgage company owner and that he was also a victim of what has been identified as the largest Ponzi scheme in New Hampshire history. In his response to a suit filed against him by Trustee Jim Notinger of Donchess and Notinger LLC asking for the return of “false interest” payments, T. Gary Coyne replied he never received interest payments but

, with help from Donald Dodge, stole the money. The two used new mortgage sales to pay interest to people who had older mortgage sales and didn’t release the construction loan money, as they had agreed to do, to developers like Coyne. In Coyne’s case, he owned 12-percent of the development rights for Lilac Valley Estates, all of Beaver Pond Estates and still holds a 12-percent interest in Provencial Park Realty Trust or Apple Ridge — an interest his counter suit claims bankruptcy trustee Notinger refuses to acknowledge. In his counter suit, Coyne said Notinger sold the Lilac Valley development for $440,000 to Brady Sullivan Company of Machester and “wiped him out” of his secured development rights. Coyne also agreed to upkeep Beaver Pond Estates until such time as it could be sold — also later to Brady Sullivan — but said Notinger refused to honor their agreement to pay him for the maintenance — an agreement made in front of Coyne’s engineer, Jon Rokeh. In addition, Coyne claims the city of Laconia still holds a $175,000 performance bond for Apple Ridge — confirmed last week by City Planner Shanna Saunders — and said he sub-
ordinated $100,000 of it through his development rights in that project. Coyne, like other developers that worked with FRM and CL&M arranged to borrow the money through FRM to pay for the infrastructure — roads, wells, site plans, environmental surveys to either sell the development rights or build condominiums and homes for eventual resale. Unable to get the money to finish the projects, Coyne and others were never able to finish their developments and, as part of the liquidation process overseen by Notinger, lost all they had put into them when most of the properties were sold from under them at fire-sale prices to satisfy, in part, the lenders claims. According to an article published in the N.H. Business Review in July of 2011, nearly $110-million in claims have been filed against FRM and the trustees have been able to collect $3.4-million — with just over $560,000 going back fees incurred his own firm Donchess & Notinger LLC. As of this month, Notinger’s firm has been awarded $994,000 in fees and another $33,792 in expenses. An additional $166,149 is claimed but has not yet been awarded. Unsecured claims to date are over $30-million.
LHS from page one Census data suggests that the school population may not vary significantly for even longer. Between 2000 and 2010 the number of children five years old and younger crept from 869 to 878. Assuming this population is evenly distributed over the ages from one to five, 175 children, approximately the current class size, will begin kindergarten each year for the next five years. Declining school enrollment reflect the aging population of the city. During the past decade the median age rose from 38.8 years to 43 years, an increase of 11-percent. The popu-
lation of working age decreased by only 0.9-percent. But, the numbers of men and women in their child rearing years declined sharply. The 20 to 24 age group shrank by 15-percent, from 1,057 to 897, the 25 to 34 age group by 12-percent, from 2,146 to,1,887, and the 35 to 44 age group by 20-percent, from 2,462 to 1,987. Meanwhile, the number of those aged 45 to 54 grew from 2,284 to 2,419, an increase of 6-percent, while those aged 55 to 64 jumped 43-percent, from 1,579 to 2,252. The population aged 65 and older rose 2-percent, from 2,828 to 2,881 while the number of households see next page

Maine company shuts down Union Ave. Big Apple convenience store & gas station
LACONIA — The Big Apple convenience store and Shell gas station at 430 Union Avenue closed yesterday. The store and property is owned by the C.N. Brown Company, headquartered in Paris, Maine. A company spokesman could not be reached for comment yesterday. C.N. Brown Company, a family owned firm, began as a logging operation in 1948. It began opening Big Apple stores in 1980 and today oper-
ates at 78 locations in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. The Union Avenue store was one of a dozen in New Hampshire, including those in Gilford and Loudon. The company also distributes heating oil through a subsidiary, Red Shield Heating Oil, from 29 locations, 23 in Maine, one in Vermont and five in New Hampshire, with Franklin the nearest. — Michael Kitch
PAYROLL TAX from page 2 jobs program, which was announced in September. The payroll tax cut benefits 160 million Americans and delivers a tax cut of about $20 a week for a typical worker making $50,000 a year. People making a $100,000 salary would get a $2,000 tax cut. The deal would not only be a win for Obama but would take the payroll tax fight — which put Republicans on the defensive — off the table for the fall election campaign. “The mood is to get it off the table,” freshman Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla., said. “We’ve got to move on to another issue.” “It’s a compromise,” said Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., a tea party-backed freshman and one of the bargainers. “We knew we’d be making a compromise.” The agreement also would avert a huge cut in Medicare payments to doctors, financed by cuts elsewhere in the federal health care budget, GOP
and Democratic aides said. The cuts include a hitting a “prevention fund” established under Obama’s health care law aimed at fighting smoking and obesity. Aides in both parties said Senate Democrats were rebuffed in an effort to renew a package of expired tax breaks for individuals and businesses, including clean energy tax credits cherished by Democrats and a tax break sought by businesses that purchase new equipment. Negotiators agreed to reduce the number of weeks of benefits that workers would be eligible to receive if they lose their jobs. The maximum number of weeks of benefits in states with the highest jobless rates would be cut from 99 weeks to 73 weeks by the end of the year, said an aide to Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private talks.
from preceding page with individuals 65 and older rose by 6-percent to account for 29-percent of all households. While enrollment has declined, the number of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, an indicator of financial hardship, has risen steadily from nearly a third to more than half of all those enrolled in grades one through twelve. Champlin said that the numbers eligible for free and reduced lunch approach 60-percent in the elementary schools and 50-percent at the high school. In 2005, of the 2,178 students, 801, 37-percent, were eligible for free and reduced lunch. By 2010, the number had grown to 1,046, representing 52-percent of the the enrollment of 2,002. In other words, while enrollment fell by 8-percent the share of those eligible for free and reduced lunch climbed by 31-percent. Champlin suggested that the aging of the population and the slump in the housing market have affected the size and texture of school enrollment. He said that aging homeowners, who
would otherwise sell their property to retire to smaller homes or other states, are kept in place by the sluggish market. As a result, the housing opportunities for young couples and families are diminished, depressing the numbers of school age children. Moreover, he said that the children of those with means to purchase homes were less likely to qualify for free and reduced lunch. “Enrollment and the numbers qualified for free and reduced lunch are directly linked to the housing market,” Champlin said. “The natural turnover has been slowed.” Champlin said that in response to declining enrollment the the School Board made major staffing changes in its 2011-2012 budget by eliminating 17 positions and did not foresee the need for comparable measures in the forthcoming budget cycle. “We don’t expect numbers to go down, down, down or to go up until the housing market improves,” he said. “Classes of 160 to 170 are good numbers for us. We have the capacity and we are staffed for that range.”

In M’borough case, Supreme Court stirs muddy water as to who can do what under Consumer Protection Act By Michael Kitch
CONCORD — The New Hampshire Supreme Court last week ruled that more than 50 residents of Moultonborough who brought suit against a local company for selling potable water with elevated levels of uranium are not entitled to damages under the Consumer Protection Act. The case reflects the curious impact of changes to the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) made by the Legislature. In separate decisions reached in the last three months the Supreme Court has ruled that purchasers of automobiles bearing inspection stickers — despite not actually having passed inspection — are protected by the act while those sold water laced with contaminants are not. In 2002 the Legislature amended the CPA to exempt “trade or commerce subject to the jurisdiction of the bank commissioner, the director of securities regulation, the insurance commissioner, the public utilities commission, the financial institutions and insurance regulators of other states, or federal banking or securities regulators who possess the authority to regulate unfair or deceptive trade practices.” Prior to these changes no particular industries, professions or occupations were exempt from the act, which excluded only trade or commerce permitted by laws administered by state and federal regulatory agencies. Under the CPA, persons may be awarded treble damages against individuals or firms found to have willfully and knowingly engaged in unfair or deceptive practices. Jo Anne Rainville, Carl Beher and Lisa Mullins, doing business as The Olde Village Store, and others sought damages against the Lakes Region Water Company, a small, privately owned firm based in Moultonborough, which operates several public water systems in the state. In 2004, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) found high levels of uranium in one of the company’s wells serving the Tamworth Water Works. Although Lakes Region Water Company sunk a new well, three years later DES officials discovered it was drawing from the original well and water samples from the Tamworth Water Works contained excessive levels of uranium. Both the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) and the Attorney General’s Office began investigating the company. Meanwhile, Rainville and others filed suit, alleging the Lakes Region Water Works violated the CPA. The company claimed that because its “trade and commerce” was regulated by the PUC, it was exempt from the act. Justice Steven Houran of the Carroll County Superior Court ruled that since the PUC has sole jurisdiction over ratemaking, the exemption applied only to claims that the company overcharged for its contaminated water. But, he also held that since the authority of the PUC is limited to setting rates, claims that the company misrepresented its water as free from contamination and safe for consumption by failing disclose the elevated levels of uranium were not exempt from the act. The question before the Supreme Court was
whether the lower court was mistaken in ruling that Lakes Region Water Company was not exempt from the CPA for allegedly misrepresenting the quality of its water. The justices rejected the plaintiffs argument — and the Superior Court ruling — that because the jurisdiction of the PUC is confined to ratemaking, the exemption does not apply. Instead, they stressed that the CPA exempts “any” trade or commerce subject to the agency’s authority. Likewise, the justices disagreed with the plaintiff’s contention that the jurisdiction of the PUC does not reach to deceptive practices related to water quality. “This frames the issue incorrectly,” they wrote. “The issue is not whether a party’s deceptive practice is subject to the PUC’s jurisdiction, but whether the practice occurred in the conduct of ‘trade or commerce’ that is subject to the PUC’s jurisdiction.” The court distinguished its opinion from its decision in the case of the Empire Automotive Group last December. The car dealership was indicted by a grand jury for violating the CPA by placing inspection stickers on vehicles, which were sold to consumers, knowing they had not passed inspection. The Empire Automotive Group claimed because it was licensed and regulated by the New Hampshire Bank Department, it was exempt from the CPA. However, the justices ruled that the jurisdiction of the Bank Department is confined to “the retail installment sales of motor vehicles,” or the financing of vehicle sales. They concluded that the fraudulent conduct was not related to the financing of the transactions and that “the trade or commerce at issue was the sale of motor vehicles generally, not their financing under retail sales installment contracts.” Since the Bank Department does not have authority over motor vehicle sales generally, but only over retail installment contracts, the Empire Automotive Group was not exempt from the CPA. The two decisions, rendered in accord with the plain meaning of the law, indicate that because of the exemptions granted by the Legislature the CPA no longer applies equitably to similarly situated consumers. Whether a claim can be even brought under the CPA depends not simply on its merits, but on whether the firm against which it is lodged is regulated by one of the designated agencies and what specific authority that agency possesses. For example, on the one hand, a customer who purchased a vehicle with a bogus inspection sticker would be protected by the CPA and entitled to seek treble damages. But, on the other hand, if the company misrepresented the terms of a sales contract, it would be exempt from the CPA, but liable to penalties imposed by the Bank Department, while the customer would be denied access to treble damages. Furthermore, the court’s decisions bear directly on a major issue raised in the aftermath of the collapse of Financial Resources Mortgage, Inc. (FRM). Amid the back-biting and finger-pointing among state agencies over how FRM escaped the scrutiny of regulatory agencies, Attorney General Michael Delaney contended that the changes to the CPA placed FRM beyond the reach of the Consumer Protection Bureau.
KEENE from page 2 High School, and Jonathan Daniels and Symonds elementary schools were placed on lockdown as a precautionary measure. Gurney said staff members were posted at every door to greet students and hustle them inside. Police officers were sent to all four schools. “If he needed to find a police officer to turn himself in, there were plenty,” Gurney said. State police — using dogs and a helicopter equipped with infrared detectors — joined the search. Officers from nearby communities and the county sheriff’s office also combed the area in search of Martz. Gurney said the lockdown was both nerve-racking and a good drill for the schools. “This for us pointed out some things we need to work on,” he said.
The system has practiced “reverse evacuation” — herding students from recess yards and playing fields into the school — but had not prepared for a threat at the beginning of the school day. Gurney said the lockdown was still in place when lunch periods at the high school were getting started, which presented a challenge that will require more planning. “We had 1,500 hungry teenagers up there, and we didn’t have a mechanism for feeding them,” Gurney said. Gurney said the school lockdown last week in nearby Walpole was on his mind as he handled security at the Keene schools, although the Walpole circumstances were different. On Friday, a 14-yearold male student at Walpole Elementary School shot himself in the face with a shotgun. He is being treated at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

INTER-LAKES from page one that you do.” He said he had been in contact with board chair Richard Hanson in the interim, and was reminded that, “when words are used to incite and polarize, you never get a good outcome.” He was motivated to make the comments, Billings said, out of his passion for education, frustration at the process and fear that health care costs could soon grow to become a crippling burden on the district. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have seen the enemy. His name is health care and he is formidable... this is a huge problem and it is eating away at our educational system.” Likewise, and during a later portion of the meeting, Carty sought to dampen his complaint at the budget hearing that members of the board’s negotiating team had failed to keep the rest of the board abreast of the proceedings. The negotiated contract was presented to the board on January 24, he said, at which point members voted to ratify the agreement. “The point I was trying to make was there may have been differing perceptions of transparency up
to that point,” he said, noting that he’s since encountered “widely varying” interpretations of transparency in that context. “It was not my intent to insult the chairman or other members of the school board,” Carty said. “I’d like to put this one to bed and move on.” After hearing both conciliatory statements, Kay Anderson said, “I was hoping for both apologies.” She serves on the board’s strategic planning committee with both Billings and Carty and said that after the budget hearing last week she was planning to attend last night’s meeting with the intention of resigning over a breach of trust. “It’s absolutely essential, for the process to work, that we trust each other,” she said. Anderson said she has worked through several negotiation processes and, “it was very difficult for me” to watch the negotiating team endure the salvo of criticism. After last night’s peace-making efforts, though, Anderson said, “Some of my trust is coming back, so I’m not resigning... Let’s have this be a bad bump in the road and continue to go forward as a team.”
PENN STATE from page 2 grounds the law was different in 2002, when Schultz and Curley, the university’s athletics director, were told of Sandusky being in the campus showers with a young boy. The defendants also say the statute of limitations has expired. Farrell sought a more precise description of the part of Schultz’s grand jury testimony that prosecutors allege constituted perjury. Farrell argued that the “defendant must not be left guessing as to which statements he is defending against nor as to basic information as to why such statements are false.” Through a spokeswoman, Farrell declined to comment further. A spokesman for the attorney general’s office said Tuesday the agency had not received the filings but would review them when it had. During a preliminary hearing for Schultz and
Curley in December, former Penn State football team graduate assistant Mike McQueary testified that he saw Sandusky engaging in a sexual act with a boy in a locker room shower. He said that he first spoke about it with his father immediately afterward and then contacted head football coach Joe Paterno. Paterno, who was fired as coach after the arrests but was not a target of criminal investigators, told the grand jury that McQueary recounted something of a “sexual nature” but that he did not press for details. About a week and a half later, McQueary said, he met with Curley and Schultz, and the content of that meeting is central to the charges against the two administrators. McQueary testified in December he told them he had seen Sandusky and a boy, both naked, in the shower after hearing skin-on-skin slapping sounds. “I would have described that it was extremely sexual and I thought that some kind of intercourse was going on,” McQueary said under oath in a Harrisburg courtroom. He also testified that he saw Schultz, whose duties as senior vice president for business and finance included oversight of the university police department, as a police authority. “I thought I was talking to the head of the police, to be frank with you,” he said. “In my mind it was like speaking to a (district attorney). It was someone who police reported to and would know what to do with it.”
BOLDUC from page one intendent Kent Hemingway said of Bolduc, “She is regarded as one of the leading technology educators and innovators in New Hampshire.” He said the district’s search committee visited the Mast Way Elementary School. “The staff, students and parents provided our team with stellar examples of her collaborative skills, direct curriculum and instruction support, and a vision of growth to incorporate the most meaningful educational practices.”

Pekingese becomes America’s top dog at Westminster NEW YORK (AP) — This Peke was at his peak. Malachy the Pekingese wobbled off with best in show Tuesday night at the Westminster Kennel Club, becoming America’s dog to the delight of an adoring crowd that called his name. The 4-year-old bobbing pompom won his 115th overall best in show title. He beat out a Dalmatian, German shepherd, Doberman pinscher, Irish setter, a Kerry blue terrier and wire-haired dachshund at Madison Square Garden. Handler David Fitzpatrick gave Malachy a little help — he carried him a short way onto the green carpet for the final lineup, shortening the long walk the ring. Malachy’s pink tongue popped up from his silver-and-white fur, his eyes sparkling like black diamonds as he soaked in the cheers. Judge Cindy Vogels picked the winner as fans hollered for their favorites. The No. 2 show dog in the nation this year was clearly the most popular, and Malachy won after taking the toy group here last February. The champion at Westminster wins a coveted silver bowl, but not a cent of prize money. Instead, the prestige of this title lasts a lifetime for any owner, and brings a wealth of opportunity in breed-
ing potential. This was the fourth time a Peke won at Westminster, and the first since 1990. Right before the champion was picked, a woman was stopped by security as she appeared to try to reach the ring. A few years ago, a PETA protest took place in the center area. Several top choices lost out early as underdogs ruled the breed judging. A black cocker spaniel called Beckham who was the nation’s No. 1 show dog and a wire fox terrier named Eira picked by many to win proved once again it takes more than a great reputation to own the green carpet. Because no matter how many blue ribbons or silver bowls or shiny trophies any dog brings to Westminster, there’s a phrase that ultimately decides who wins the top prize. “Dog on the day,” fanciers say. More than 2,000 purebred dogs were entered overall and Marlene Ness came from Canada to show her black cocker, Ace, at Westminster for the first time. Her main opposition? Beckham, a popular pick to win the whole thing.
Sat. funeral service for Whitney Houston will be private
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Whitney Houston’s funeral will be held Saturday in the church where she first showcased her singing talents as a child, her family choosing to remember her in a private service rather than in a large event at an arena. The owner of the Whigham Funeral Home said Tuesday that the funeral will be held at noon at Newark’s New Hope Baptist Church, which seats up to 1,500 people. Gospel singer Marvin Winans, a Grammy Award winner and longtime family friend, has been chosen to give the eulogy, his son said. The family said no public memorial service is planned. Officials had discussed the possibility of holding a memorial at the Prudential Center, a major sports and entertainment venue that can seat about 18,000 people, but the funeral home said it had been ruled out. Funeral home owner Carolyn Whigham said the church service will be by invitation only, reflecting the family’s decision to keep the memorial more personal.

“They have shared her for 30-some years with the city, with the state, with the world. This is their time now for their farewell,” she said. “The family thanks all the fans, the friends and the media, but this time is their private time,” she said. Houston, 48, died Saturday at a hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., just hours before she was set to perform at producer Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy Awards bash. Officials say she was underwater and apparently unconscious when she was pulled from a bathtub. After an autopsy Sunday, authorities said there were no indications of foul play and no obvious signs of trauma on Houston. It could be weeks, however, before the coroner’s office completes toxicology tests to establish the cause of death. Los Angeles County coroner’s assistant chief Ed Winter said bottles of prescription medicine were found in the room. He would not give details except to say: “There weren’t a lot of prescription bottles. You probably have just as many prescription bottles in your medicine cabinet.” Houston’s body was returned to New Jersey late Monday. She was born in Newark and was raised in nearby East Orange. She began singing as a child at New Hope Baptist Church, where her mother, Grammy-winning gospel singer Cissy Houston, led the music program for many years.

OBITUARIES
Raymond O. Fogg, 84 LACONIA — Raymond O. Fogg, 84, formerly of Mason Court, Briarcrest, died at the Belknap County Nursing Home on Monday, February 13, 2012 after a period of failing health. He was the widower of Doris J. (Prince) Fogg who died in 1986. Ray was born September 20, 1927 in Laconia, the son of Albert and Grace (Nadeau) Fogg. He had been a lifelong resident of Laconia and had been a resident of the Belknap County Nursing Home for the last two years. Ray served in the U. S. Navy during WWII. He worked at Chertok-Lougee Robinson for over thirty years as a carpet installer. He was well known as the premier carpet installer in the Lakes Region. He went into business for himself for ten years and retired in 1988. Ray enjoyed spending his summers at Salty Acres Campground in Maine and his winters in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. He was an avid Red Sox fan and loved to do woodworking. He was a member of the Laconia Lodge of Elks #876 and the American Legion Wilkins Smith Post No. 1. Survivors include a son and daughter-in-law, William R. & Karen Fogg, of Belmont; two grandchildren, Justin Fogg of Altamonte Springs, Florida and Kimberly A. Fogg of Belmont; his sister, Theresa

By Holiday Mathis crave new experience. At the same time, you are tied to your responsibilities. You’re so convincing, though, that you just may be able to charm those who need you into joining you on a madcap adventure. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may start off the day feeling at odds with those around you. But once you adjust your attitude, your day fills up with the qualities of harmony and union. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Scattered efforts are still efforts. There is an apparent lack of predetermination to the day’s events, and yet your actions will be like dandelion seeds, riding on the wind and taking root wherever they land. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You like it when the ball is in your court. It means it’s your chance to shine. However, it may feel today like dozens of balls are being hit back to you at once. Take it easy. All balls can be returned in due time. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your head is filling with fanciful ideas. There is so much delightful influence around you, and you are extraordinarily receptive to the best of it. Ask for guidance through your imagination. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 15). Your opportunities multiply as they are seized. In March, choose your focus and stay with it. April turns friendships into love. You’ll earn your money differently in May. Your personal life will shift to accommodate new priorities in the summer. Make fun important, and see more of the world in August. Scorpio and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 31, 33 and 14.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). This day will be touched by unusual happenings, idiosyncratic people and strange experiences that seem to come from out of the blue. You enjoy the shakeup. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It will be so challenging to establish consistent practices in your personal and professional life that you may give up, deciding instead to move with the whims of the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There will always be those “Chicken Little” types who, with the slightest provocation, will run around saying the sky is falling. You know better. The sky, in fact, will never fall. If anything, it will rise. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Hit the pause button for perspective. When you take a breather, you’ll be able to rise above your situation and give some thought to the mark you’d like to leave on the people and situations you encounter. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may not feel like your usual powerful self. Instead you realize you’re someone who is just trying to get through a situation -- to slog it out with the rest of the players. Knowing you’re not alone may help you soldier on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may jump toward the sun, but your point is not to land there. You just want to get off the ground. Your reasonable aims will be successful, and a few of your unreasonable ones will also triumph. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are more than a billion organisms in a teaspoon of soil. Everything you encounter, even only for a brief moment, will be changed by you. The very ground is changed because you walked on it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Feb. 15, the 46th day of 2012. There are 320 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 15, 1952, a funeral was held at Windsor Castle for Britain’s King George VI, who had died nine days earlier. On this date: In 1764, the city of St. Louis was established by Pierre Laclede and Auguste Chouteau. In 1812, American jeweler Charles Lewis Tiffany, the founder of Tiffany & Co., was born in Killingly, Conn. In 1898, the U.S. battleship Maine mysteriously blew up in Havana Harbor, killing more than 260 crew members and bringing the United States closer to war with Spain. In 1933, President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt escaped an assassination attempt in Miami that mortally wounded Chicago Mayor Anton J. Cermak; gunman Giuseppe Zangara was executed more than four weeks later. In 1942, the British colony Singapore surrendered to Japanese forces during World War II. In 1953, Tenley Albright became the first American woman to win the world figure skating championship, held in Davos, Switzerland. In 1961, 73 people, including an 18-member U.S. figure skating team en route to the World Championships in Czechoslovakia, were killed in the crash of a Sabena Airlines Boeing 707 in Belgium. In 1965, Canada’s new maple-leaf flag was unfurled in ceremonies in Ottawa. In 1971, Britain and Ireland “decimalised” their currencies, making one pound equal to 100 new pence instead of 240 pence. In 1982, 84 men were killed when a huge oildrilling rig, the Ocean Ranger, sank off the coast of Newfoundland during a fierce storm. In 1989, the Soviet Union announced that the last of its troops had left Afghanistan, after more than nine years of military intervention. In 1992, a Milwaukee jury found that Jeffrey Dahmer was sane when he killed and mutilated 15 men and boys. Benjamin L. Hooks announced plans to retire as executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. One year ago: Protesters swarmed Wisconsin’s capitol after Gov. Scott Walker proposed cutbacks in benefits and bargaining rights for public employees. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Allan Arbus is 94. Actress Claire Bloom is 81. Author Susan Brownmiller is 77.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband and I work comparable hours, but I earn less than half of what he does and have little discretionary income. I come home to my “second shift,” which includes cooking, cleaning and picking up after this man, who leaves his dirty clothes, snack packaging and other things strewn about the house. Meanwhile, he runs off to play golf. After dinner, he falls asleep in front of the TV. He doesn’t even mow the lawn or do routine household maintenance. He hires out for those things. Anything he’s asked to do, he deflects by saying “I pay.” To an extent, this is true. He pays the majority of household bills. But I pay for most of the food and all of the household products (bathroom tissue, toothpaste, shampoo) that we both use. I even keep a garden to help pad our grocery bill in the summer months. I’ve told him I feel like his servant. I don’t earn enough to hire a housekeeper. And don’t tell me to go on strike. I’ve tried it, and he is perfectly content to live in a pigsty. He says I’m a clean freak. I am not. I simply cannot live in such clutter and filth. Other than this, he’s a good man, intelligent, fun, and he makes me laugh. I’m not ready to throw us away for this problem. But I admit there are days when the idea of living alone is very appealing. He reads you faithfully and respects your opinion. Please help. -- Lake-Effect Wife Dear Wife: Marriage is a partnership. Married couples who have disparate incomes and insist on splitting the bills often run into these problems. Since you work the same hours, you should both do equal amounts of housework and share laundry and cooking duties. Since he doesn’t do these things, however, and you are picking up his used food containers and dirty clothes, cooking the meals and doing his laundry, he should pay for cleaning help. And no, this does not mean
you are a clean freak. It means you are avoiding a visit by the board of health. Dear Annie: A couple of my friends are recovering from illness and accidents, and their family members keep us updated through CaringBridge.org, a wonderful website. I just don’t understand why some authors know no boundaries. I recently read an update saying, “Johnny is now having a good solid stool every day.” Really? Did Johnny want that shared with the world? And on another site: “Mary is seeing a psychologist for help with her anger toward her family.” There is no shame in bowel movements or psychology, but please, out of respect for the person, skip those details. Just tell us the basics of how they are doing and feeling. I have informed my kids and siblings that if I ever need such a site, they are not to mention my urine output. I’m thankful for CaringBridge, as it is a great way to let people know how a friend is doing. But I am sad for the patient whose privacy is sometimes a casualty. -- Not-So-Nosy Nellie Dear Nellie: Thank you for pointing out that not all details need to be disclosed to everyone, a concept many people no longer grasp. And thank you, too, for giving us the opportunity to once again mention CaringBridge.org. Dear Annie: “S.P.” said she no longer trusts her husband of many years. Yes, it’s possible he will someday stop his philandering. But she should also consider what any philanderer could bring home to a spouse: STDs. A lot of things can be forgiven (and medically treated), but some sexually transmitted diseases are with you for the rest of your life. Our society may take casual affairs with a grain of salt, but we should be reminded now and then that affairs can kill you. -- Another Side in California

Fundraiser for Azia Brown this weekend at Allavare on Moultonborough Neck Rd.
MOULTONBOROUGH — Allavare, A Nurturing Center, will hold an open house Saturday, February 18 and Sunday, February 19 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in support of Azia Brown. Azia previously battled osteosarcoma and was in remission for three years until two months ago when a tumor appeared and showed that the osteosarcoma had returned. She is now facing surgery to have the tumor removed and will continue persevering in her fight against the cancer. Azia and her family are choosing a combination of holistic healing and allopathic medicine to defeat this cancer. The day-to-day cost of fighting
the cancer proves to be a major financial burden. Those taking part in the open houzse can enjoy a wood-fired sauna for a donation of ten dollars per person and relax and refresh with Reiki or chair massage for a donation of one dollar per minute. All proceeds will benefit Azia. There will also be a raffle drawing for a package of 5 Sauna visits. Allavare is located at 670 Moultonborough Neck Road. Additional donations will be accepted at Allavare or through Azia’s website http://pambrown. chipin.com/azia-brown. For additional information or directions to Allavare call Lynne Helve at 253-8816.
