Supreme Court to decide on restraining order against Tilton man accused of multiple rapes

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

TILTON — The N.H. Supreme Court has agreed to review a circuit court decision that granted a woman a restraining order against a former Tilton man who allegedly sexually assaulted her in 2006.

10th Circuit Court, Portsmouth Division Judge Sharon DeVries ordered that Kenneth Lahm, 54, formerly of 85 Philbrook Road have no contact with the woman known in court documents as J.K., however, Lahm’s attorney James Moir has challenged the decision.

According to DeVries findings, published on September 17, 2012, J.K. provided specific and credible details about her allegedly 2006 assault but had declined to testify against Lahm for fear of retaliation.

Because of her fear, see LaHM page 8

‘Big River’ features big cast with multiple family ties

Entire Smith Track will have to be resurfaced

Popular Opechee Park amenity will be off limits at least all spring

By MiKe MOrtensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — The Winnipesaukee Playhouse regularly draws on American literary classics for its winter community theater productions. This year the production comes from one of the greatest American novels that has been adapted for the musical stage.

“Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” which opens a three-day run tonight at the Inter-Lakes High School Community Auditorium, is based on the Mark Twain classic, and features bluegrass and country music styles characteristic of places along the Mississippi River.

The Winni Playhouse’s production of “Big River” is family entertainment, and not just see BiG riVEr page 8

LACONIA — The Smith Track at Opechee Park will be closed this spring and not reopened until it is resurfaced, most likely in July or August at the earliest.

Kevin Dunleavy, director of Parks and Recreation said yesterday that the deterioration in the surface of the track, which led to the closure of sections of the oval last year, has become sufficiently extensive to require resurfacing.

The six-lane, 400 meter track was installed in 1998 and refurbished in 2001, 2005 and 2011. Dunleavy explained that the running surface consists of rubber

granules atop an asphalt base that are bound together by a latex binder. The rubber granules spread over the asphalt and are raked and leveled to create a uniform and even surface then sprayed with the latex binder. He said that the surface is intended to be porous or permeable to enable water to flow into and evaporate out of the track.

As the surface wears, much like the sole of a shoe, granules and latex are added.

Dunleavy said that as additional layers were added the permeability of the surface diminished. As a result, instead of evaporating, water remained trapped between see TraCK page 9

Hassan balances 1st budget by projecting $80M to come from casino license

CONCORD (AP) — Gov. Maggie Hassan called on New Hampshire lawmakers Thursday to compete with Massachusetts by legalizing one high-end casino and included licensing fees in her two-year budget to pressure them to act.

“The question is: Will we allow Massachusetts to take revenue from New Hampshire’s residents to fund its needs, or will we develop our own plan that will allow us to address social costs and invest in our priorities?” she said in her budget address.

Hassan included $80 million in her budget from gambling licensing fees that lawmakers would have to replace with other revenue or cut programs if they failed to approve gambling. The House has never passed casino legislation. The Senate has a bill to legalize video slots at one casino, but dedicates the money to highway improvements, higher education and development in the North Country

Hassan only included money in her budget for operating expenses at the Transportation Department and left it to lawmakers to settle how to pay for the Interstate 93 expansion and other badly needed road improvements she said are needed. Besides the Senate proposal to use gambling revenues, a House bill would instead raise the state’s gas tax and vehicle registration fees to pay for highway and bridges.

Hassan said that “as it stands, we barely have enough to do the very minimum: patching roads and bridges together, plowing our highways, and keeping state troopers on the road.”

“We must develop strategies for a long-term solution, for both operations and road construction, and we must do it together, working toward a consensus solution,” she said.

Senate Republican Leader Jeb Bradley said he was confident the Senate would pass the gambling bill.

A gas tax increase would face as tough a time in the Senate as gambling faces in the House.

Bradley said Hassan built her budget on uncertain revenues.

“It’s a gamble and setting us up for failure,” House Republican Leader Gene Chandler said of including the gambling money.

House Speaker Terie Norelli, a Portsmouth Democrat, said Hassan had every right to propose a spending plan based on policies she endorses. Norelli said she does not know if the House will approve gambling, but if it does not, then the budget will likely be cut.

Hassan proposes spending $11.1 billion from all revenue sources — including federal, highway and state taxes — or 10 percent more than the current $10.1 billion, two-year budget. The state tax portion of the total budget is $2.8 billion or 7 percent higher see HASSAN page 13

Amputee Olympic star Pistorius charged with murder W. Buffet puts his money in South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistothe home and arrested Pistorius on a murder charge. ketchup, buys Heinz for $23B rius,PRETORIA, the double-amputee sprinter dubbed the Blade What sparked the shooting remained unclear, but NEW YORK (AP) — Billionaire Warren Buffett, the most closely watched investor in America, is putting his money in ketchup, agreeing Thursday to buy H.J. Heinz Co. for $23.3 billion in the richest deal ever in the food industry.

For his money, the Oracle of Omaha gets one of the nation’s oldest and most familiar brands, one that’s in refrigerators and kitchen cupboards all over the U.S. The deal is intended to help Heinz accelerate its expansion from a dominant American name into a presence on grocery shelves worldwide. The Pittsburgh-based company also makes baked beans, pickles, vinegar, Classico pasta sauces and Ore-Ida potatoes, as well as a growing stable of sauces suited to regional tastes around the world.

Buffett’s investment firm, Berkshire Hathaway, is teaming with another firm, 3G Capital, to snap up Heinz, which had long been a subject of takeover speculation. New York-based 3G is best known for its acquisition of Burger King and its role in the deal that created Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s biggest beer maker.

The deal, expected to close in the third quarter, sent shares of Heinz soaring. The company’s stock price was up nearly 20 percent, closing at $72.50 Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange. see HEINZ page 3

Crippled cruise ship slowly makes its way to land MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — This is not at all how it looked in the brochure: Pulled by a tugboat at a maddeningly slow pace, the cruise ship Carnival Triumph finally drew nearer to port Thursday as miserable passengers told stories of overflowing toilets, food shortages, foul odors and dangerously dark passageways.

The ship was expected to arrive about midnight, and officials said it would take passengers — carrying their own luggage, with only one functioning elevator on the ship — up to five hours to disembark.

police said they had received calls in the past about domestic altercations at the home of the 26-year-old athlete, who has spoken publicly about his love of firearms.

A police spokeswoman, Brigadier Denise Beukes, said the incidents included “allegations of a domestic nature.”

“I’m not going to elaborate on it, but there have been incidents,” Beukes said. She said Pistorius was home at the time of Steenkamp’s death and “there is no other suspect involved.”

Revised sled dog racing schedule has mushers scrambling

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

HILL — Sled dog clubs in the area are playing musical chairs with race dates and, as a result, a New England Sled Dog Club race which was originally scheduled for Hill on Feb. 23-24, will instead be held this weekend.

The change came after the Laconia World Championship Sled Dog Derby, originally scheduled for Feb. 8-10 in Laconia, was postponed to Feb. 22-24.

The New England club decided to move its race up by one weekend in order to avoid a conflict with the Laconia race, in which many of its members compete.

The NESDC website says ‘’this solution will provide everyone with the option to race this weekend and no longer poses a conflict with the new Laconia date (and will offer the added bonus of getting in

another race to prepare teams for Laconia).’’

The Hill Village race will be International Sled Dog Racing Association sanctioned and will get underway both Saturday and Sunday at 9 a.m. with skijoring (mushers pulled on skis by two dogs), followed by the three dog junior class, 4-dog class and open class (10 or more dogs). The one-dog junior class will follow and then the 8-dog and 6-dog classes.

The races will start from the Profile Falls Recreation area parking lot which was created several years ago by the New Hampshire Mushers Association.

Another sled dog race, scheduled earlier this month for Tamworth, where the New England Sled Dog Club has held races ever since 1924, when the club was first formed, was cancelled by the Tamworth Outing Club due to poor snow conditions.

In Sandwich, a Mid-Distance Sled Dog Race hosted

LFD inspecting multi-family buildings LACONIA — In January the Fire Department resumed its life safety inspection program of multi-family buildings with three or more rental units.

Deputy Chief Charles Roffo said that the program includes inspection of hard-wired smoke detection and carbon monoxide detection systems as well as fire alarm, sprinkler, heating and electrical systems. Buildings will also be inspected for infestations of rodents and insects and the presence of lead paint.

Roffo said that the Fire Department will contact property owners prior to scheduled inspections to enable them to notify their tenants. On receiving notice of an inspection, property

owners must contact the department to confirm they will have a representative at the building to assist the inspector. Tenants may be present during the inspection and may ask questions of the inspector..

An inspection guidebook, with a checklist, is posted on the Fire Department website at www.LaconiaFire. com. Once inspections are completed, a report identifying any issues requiring to be addressed will be presented to property owners. If no violations are found, property owners will be provided with clearance letters.

Anyone with questions about the inspection program may contact the Fire Prevention Office at (603) 524-6881.

by the Sandwich Sidehillers and the Yankee Siberian Husky Club, has been postponed from this Saturday to next Saturday due to poor trail conditions.

The race will see 25 teams of 6-8 dogs competing in a 45-mile race and 25 teams competing in a 20-mile race.

There will also be sled dog rides offered at the annual Ice Harvest and Winter Carnival at the Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm in Tamworth this Saturday.

The event, which was postponed due to last Saturday’s snowstorm, will see members of the Chinook Owners Association of America, offering short dog sled rides. The Chinook, New Hampshire’s state dog, is a breed developed in Tamworth by Arthur Walden and which gained fame in Antarctic exploration.

HEINZ from page 2 Berkshire picked up steam, too.

Its Class A shares gained $1,490, or about 1 percent, to close at $149,240.

Berkshire remains the most expensive U.S. stock but it’s still below its all-time high of $151,650, reached in December 2007. That came before the financial turmoil of 2008 and just after an exceptionally profitable quarter that was helped by a $2 billion investment gain.

The plans to take Heinz private apparently began to take shape on a plane in early December. In an interview with CNBC, Buffett said he was approached at that time by Jorge Lemann, a fellow billionaire and a co-founder of 3G. The two had known each other since serving on the board of Gillette about 12 years ago.

Soon after that encounter, two of 3G’s managing partners traveled to Pittsburgh to have lunch with Heinz CEO William Johnson and raise the prospect of buying the 144-year-old company.

“The offer was such that I simply felt compelled to take it to my board,” Johnson said at a news conference Thursday.

Over the next several weeks, Johnson said, the board worked out details of the transaction.

Berkshire is putting up $12.12 billion in return for half of the equity in Heinz, as well as $8 billion of preferred shares that pay 9 percent, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 3G Capital will run Heinz, and Berkshire will be the financing partner.

Gangster government operates above the law The presidents’ State of the Union addresses are delivered in the chamber of the House of Representatives in the Capitol. The classical majesty of this building where laws are made symbolizes the idea that we live under the rule of law.

Unfortunately, the 44th president is running an administration that too often seems to ignore the rule of law.

“We can’t wait,” Barack Obama took to saying after the Republicans captured a majority in the House and refused to pass laws he wanted.

He would act to get what he wanted regardless of law.

One example: his recess appointments in January 2012 of three members of the National Labor Relations Board and the head of the Consumer FinancialProtection Bureau. Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled unanimously that the NLRB recess appointments were unconstitutional.

The decision, written by Judge David Sentelle, noted that the Constitution speaks of “the recess,” not “a recess,” and reasoned that it could only be referring to the recess between annual sessions of Congress.

Obama, like many presidents before him, interpreted the phrase as referring to any recess during which Congress is not in session. But he went one step further. When Harry Reid became Senate majority leader in 2007, he started holding pro forma meetings of the Senate every three days and stating that the Senate was not in recess. George W. Bush, who had made recess appointments before, stopped doing so.

Bush took the view that, since the Constitution says that each branch of Congress makes its own rules, the Senate was in session if the Senate said so. Obama took the view that he would decide whether the Senate was in session. Who cares what the Constitution says?

As Sentelle pointed out, Obama’s view would entitle the president to make a recess appointment any time the Senate broke for lunch.

“This cannot be the law,” the judge wrote.

Critics of his decision argue that under it the recess appointment power would be vanishingly small.

But under Obama’s view, the Senate’s power to advise and consent could effectively vanish. The Framers contemplated that the Congress would take long recesses (as for many years it did) and that it could take months for senators to return to Washington to act on appointments. It’s plausible that the Fram-

ers would have considered recess appointments unnecessary in an era of jet travel. It’s not plausible that they would have approved of getting rid of the Senate’s power to vote on appointments altogether.

Meanwhile, decisions of the NLRB and the CFPB are in legal limbo, pending a Supreme Court decision.

Hundreds of thousands of people and are affected and millions of dollars are at stake. There is a price for not observing the rule of law.

There are other examples. For several years, the Obama administration has refused to obey a law requiring the president’s budget to be submitted on a certain date. As Budget Director, Treasury nominee Jack Lew refused to obey the law requiring him to issue a report in response to the trustees’ report on Medicare.

During the 2012 campaign, the Pentagon told defense contractors not to inform employees that they may be laid off if the sequester took effect as required by the WARN Act. They were even told that the government would pay any fines for not complying. What law authorizes that?

Similarly, Health and Human Services has stated that the federal government can fund health insurance exchanges run by the feds for states that refuse to create their own exchanges. But nowhere does the Democrats’ hastily crafted ObamaCare legislation say that.

In spring 2009, we got our first glimmers of this modus operandi. In arranging the Chrysler bankruptcy, administration officials brushed aside the rights of secured creditors in order to pay off the United Auto Workers. University of Pennsylvania law professor David Skeel pointed out that this violated the standard rules of bankruptcy law established, interestingly, during the New Deal.

“We have just seen an episode of gangster government,” I wrote at the time. “It is likely to be a continuing series.”

It looks like that’s one prediction I got right. This president, like all his predecessors since Woodrow Wilson started delivering these speeches in person, looks magnificent in the temple where laws are made. But he doesn’t seem to consider himself bound by them.

LETTERS Liberals believe if we love our enemies they will love us back To the editor, Until I read The Sun this morning (Wednesday, Feb. 13), I wasn’t aware that overnight the sky had opened up and rained moonbats.

First Ray Corliss: I love the way the left throws around facts without doing any research. Ray, I hate to burst your bubble but President Reagan was shot by a mentally impaired liberal (aren’t they all?) and his gun of choice, taken from a family member, was a .22 cal. revolver. Yes, there are people advocating taking away all firearms, such as Mayor Bloomberg of New York. Regarding immigration, Ray, look up the word illegal in the dictionary. Quoting John Lennon as you did immediately caused an image of you to pop into my head — head band and pony tail. Please don’t send me a picture to prove I’m wrong.

Next, Dick Devens: As soon as you can explain to me how the Vikings were able to plant vegetable gardens on Greenland in the 15th Century, which for the most part is now ice and snow covered year round, and how plants flourished in the Sahara desert on more than one occasion in the past then I might consider buying into the global warming fiasco that is making some people wealthy (see Al Gore) but making most of us poorer.

Professor Maloof: Please name the “social scientists” and economists

that you quote. Do they also believe in global warming?

L.J. Siden: Okay, LJ, yes there are people talking about disarming us and there are people who hate us for what we are, not for what we have done. North Korea, all of the Middle East, yes all, but especially Iran, parts of Central and South America are turning against us, and the old standbys China and Russia would love to have control of our natural resources.

Imagine if we got hit with a nuclear bomb and they who survived had no protection from the following invasion. Will it ever happen? I don’t know but I don’t see any problem with being prepared and I really think it would be stupid not to be. Oh, I forgot, liberals think if we only would love them they would love us in return. Sure they would! Keep in mind L.J., that gun owners protect the unprotected by making gun ownership a mystery to those who would break the law.

Lastly, remember that most all of the multiple murders occurred in gun free zones. The creeps from Vermont that murdered the Zantops, the professors from Dartmouth, came to a liberal area of N.H. to commit their crime. I wonder if it was because Vermont has zero gun laws. Makes sense to me.

Dave Schwotzer Meredith

Everyday, ordinary citizens just don’t want to be the next victim To the editor, To sing along with Steve Earle’s letter (Jan. 22), how many trillions of our taxpayer dollars were wasted in the past on alcohol prohibition, the war on drugs and now we hear the ever-so-righteous uproar by “gunignorant zealots” for more “gun control” on top of all the other illogical, ineffective measures already law?

Too bad all that money couldn’t go to improving the lot of those of us who need it badly because that’s what historians have always reported is the real cause of violent crime anytime.

Criminals will always get guns to gain their ends, just like big business always find a way to raise the price on a gallon of gas or heating oil or anything else they can get away with just to boost profits.

It wasn’t just “gun-crazed” NRA

members cleaning out gun stores before the dreaded “ban on guns” might begin being screamed about in the media. It was everyday, ordinary citizens who didn’t want to be the next victim before the police could come to investigate over their dead bodies after the deed was done. As the oh-sohighly-educated “gun-ignorant, gun control zealots” have chosen to overlook because it offends some noble principle, the Centers for Disease Control and FBI crime statistics show an overall decline in gun violence in the last 40 years.

Say what! The media hasn’t been screaming about that because that won’t upset people and jack-up ad sales on everything else we buy. Don’t believe me, it’s easy to look up. Except of course for our neighbors in liberal, see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, February 15, 2013 — Page 5

LETTERS Get involved now or hold your peace on wind farms scarring N.H. To the editor, Wind Farms promise more jobs in a cleaner environment here in New Hampshire. They promise a new economy driven by cleaner electricity, electric cars, electric lawnmowers, less pollution, and of course, the gratitude of generations to come. There’s just one problem — the lack of credible evidence that any of that can actually occur.

Our neighboring state, Vermont, just stated on January 30, 2013 “that some big wind projects in the region are not performing as planned due to constraints on the transmission grid.” The operator of the New England Electric Grid has told these wind projects that “they can’t put electricity on to the network because it would de-stabilize the grid.” The problem derives from the electrical grid getting out of sync when wind turbines produce more power than is being used at any given time.

This is a hugely important story — one that should shake New Hampshire politicians to their core. If Vermont is experiencing these issues so will New Hampshire, right?

Vermont is seeing additional issues with other wind projects as well. And it’s rumored that the Groton, N.H. wind farm may be looking at the same situation. Groton residents should add another word to their vocabulary, a little device called the synchronous condenser (cost about $10.5 million) is needed and should help Vermont’s transmission issues or not.

Across the pond in countries like Spain, Denmark and Germany, who are heavily invested in wind technology, they have seen their electricity rates soar. Here in the United States — all states with wind power have seen increases in their electrical rates.

Another fair business question to ask is: “Will higher electrical rates push businesses out of the New Hampshire?”

As New Hampshire politicians discuss a new energy policy in dealing with Northern Pass, Wind Farms and other energy related issues, the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the words “new energy policy” is: How much will our electrical rates increase to compensate for this so called “change”? A second question that comes to mind is: Why are we financially responsible for shipping electricity through our state to southern states. And if our politicians find a way to pass everything in return for additional revenues, my third question would be: what are our politicians going to do with all the new revenue?

As I continue my research on wind farms I have been searching for a few answers: First: “Has anyone seen a decrease in their electrical rates due

to wind energy being added to the grid?” I have yet to find anyone that can say yes to that question. Second: “Why does New Hampshire have to revamp its entire electrical grid to pass electricity through to southern states?” Keep in mind we will pay higher electrical rates by passing that electricity on — not using it. Third: “Is it our obligation to sacrifice our mountain tops to feed southern states with electricity?” And fourth: “Why is Massachusetts subsidizing their renewable energy credits through New Hampshire land?”

How does anyone really know the true impact of these projects? It truly is a project divided up into many individual parts. It’s designed to be confusing and is great for finger pointing.

I urge all of you to look at the Groton wind farm. How many individual parts were involved in that project?

You had developers, transmission lines, substation, maintenance, town officials, state government, federal government, etc. It got confusing — didn’t it? And the turbines still aren’t spinning.

Get involved now or forever hold your peace. Or, take your hats off and bow your heads, for the death of another state treasure, here in New Hampshire, will be foretold.

There are many reasons why people have fought so hard against the concentration of wind farms around Newfound Lake. Here are just a few examples: 1. turbines should not be placed in the middle of a recreational area that depends on tourism; 2. we already have three renewable energy plants in the area; 3. it could jeopardize our watershed; 4. no sufficient funds set aside for dismantling them; 5. they are too tall, too close and too many of them near the shoreline; 6. many think the lake will have an airport setting with the red lights blinking at night. Residents, real estate agents, business owners and vacationers alike will add many concerns to this list. . . I’m sure.

A moratorium on Big Wind Farms in New Hampshire, makes absolute sense. I applaud Representative Harold “Skip” Reilly (R-Grafton) for his forward thinking on this matter.

Reilly has proposed legislation calling for a moratorium on all wind power construction until the state updates its energy plan. (HB-580 and HB-484).

Get back to basics and start asking important questions. Questions that will define your future here in New Hampshire. Speak up at the State Legislative Bills Hearing on February 19 at 1 p.m. Location: NH Statehouse in Concord.

LETTERS Now, if you don’t support gambling you’re causing $80M hole To the editor, I just listened to Governor Hassan’s budget message, I have to give her credit, she is already looking forward to getting re-elected. Something for everybody; the basest kind of pandering a politician can stoop to.

She included gambling revenues of $80 million in her revenue estimates.

Last session, gambling was a bipartisan issue with support and opposition coming from both sides of the isle. This year it doesn’t matter what side of the question you sit on; if you don’t support gambling you will be responsible for a $80 million hole in the budget.

Education funding, last session

Republicans forced a 6 percent cut on the university system budget, as a result tuition went up. Governor Hassan has proposed replacing 90 percent of that 6-percent cut over two years; shouldn’t tuition go back down? The university system has generously promised to freeze tuition for two years. So they get to keep the increase in funding and the tuition hikes imposed on students as a result of the last year’s budget. Must be new math 2.0!

More of the same tax and spend from Democrats.

Nice to know that a Nor’easter can bring out the best in people To the editor, As we all know the storm on Feb. 9 dropped as much as 24 inches and where I live that equals 48 inches behind my vehicle, thanks to the plow man. The point is, I wish to say a big THANK-YOU to the good soul who took it upon themselves to plow the heavy snow away from my vehicle.

This person couldn’t have come at a better time; my husband has heart

problems so that leaves me with the shovel and our regular plow guy wasn’t going to be in this area of Gilford before 2 p.m.

Its nice to know that a Blizzard/ Nor’easter can bring out the best in people. So whoever you are thank-you again and God Bless.

My thanks to Rusty for standing by his word to ‘make it right’ To the editor, I purchased a 1978 Nissan from Rusty’s and after driving it for a few weeks the check engine light came on. Upon taking it back to Rusty he said he’d fix it, and although the light came on again several times over the next few weeks after he had corrected

it the first time, he continued to take it in and make it right. This was when well more than 3- days had passed.

My thanks to Rusty for standing by his word to “make it right”.

To the editor, A recent poll showed that nearly 38 percent would like to deport all undocumented or “illegal aliens.”

Apparently, many people have not thought about the logistics or economics involved in such a harmful, misguided and unAmerican action.

The practical problem with mass deportation can be illustrated by looking at the owners of coffee shops who sell to an assortment of working people. If 12 million actual customers were deported, owners would suddenly be faced with a 10 or 15 percent shortfall in sales at the end of every day? Most businesses, not just coffee shops, would also experience a similar reduction in sales. Businesses would realize less profit, pay less taxes, and lay off employees at a time when we are struggling back from a deep finan-

cial crisis.

Unlike the U.S., Europe has always understood the benefits of immigration. This is indeed ironic when you think that most of our relatives immigrated from that continent over the centuries. Currently, Europe’s population is set to decline during the next 35 years and their leaders have no idea where their future workers will come from. Italy is set to lose 28 percent of its population by 2050. In order to maintain its working age population, it would need to start importing more than 350,000 immigrants per year, or alternatively, keep all of its Italian citizens working until they are 75.

The biggest fallacy in the U.S. debate is that undocumented aliens do not pay taxes. Besides paying sales tax, tolls and real estate taxes, most also see next page

Laconia water customers paying at rate that’s about half the state average

By Michael Kitch

LACONIA — Perhaps not surprisingly in a city filled with lakes, residents of Laconia paid a little more than half the state average cost of water in 2012 according to the rate survey recently released by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services.

The survey, which includes the rates of more than 90 water systems, calculated the average annual price of water for a single family home using 184.5 gallons per day at $414.77. The average cost of water to those served by the Laconia Water Department is $210.50, or $0.003 per gallon.

By comparison, the survey reported the average annual cost was $355 in Alton, $402 in Belmont, $60 in Meredith, $512 in Tilton-Northfield and $1,011 in New Hampton Village Precinct.

Last year, the Laconia Water Commission increased the local rate for the first time since 2007. The base

rate remained $20 per quarter but the usage rate was raised from $1.15 per 100 cubic feet (hcf), which amounts to 748 gallons, to $1.45. Superintendent Seth Nuttleman projected that for the average household of four using 25 hcf a quarter the annual cost of water would rise by $30, from $195 to $225.

Paradoxically, rates have increased as the amount of water consumed has decreased. Three-quarters of the water systems surveyed by DES raised their rates in the past five years.DES based its survey on domestic consumption of 67,389 gallons per year, using actual data compiled by the United States Geological Survey, compared to 100,375 gallons in prior surveys. Nuttleman said that more efficient fixtures and appliances have contributed significantly to declining consumption, noting that volume of water the department has billed has dropped about 11-percent during the last five years. Rates have risen to bridge the gap between falling water sales and rising operating expenses.

CRUISE from page 2 30-year-old daughter, Kalin Christine Hill, is on the cruise. “If I hit land in Mobile, you’d have a hard time getting me on a bus.”

On Thursday night, dozens of chartered buses — with markings from Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas — had gathered in Mobile.

Carnival said it will cover transportation costs.

Earlier Thursday — four days after the 893-foot ship was crippled by an engine-room fire in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico — the more than 4,200 passengers and crew members suffered another setback with towline issues that brought the vessel to a dead stop for about an hour just when it was getting close to port.

Frustrations with the cruise line simmered on and off the ship, as passengers and their relatives questioned why it had taken so long to get back to dry land. The ship left Galveston a week ago.

As the vessel drew within cellphone range, passengers vented their anger.

Renee Shanar, of Houston, was on board with her husband, who she said has heart trouble. They were told they will be among the first to disembark, she said.

“I don’t believe them; they’ve been lying to us from the beginning,” Shanar said.

Disgusted by the foul air and heat on the lower decks, many passengers hauled mattresses and bed sheets onto the top deck and slept there, even staying put in a soaking rain. As the ship approached the coast, a slew of

Carnival workers removed the bedding and took it downstairs.

“Today they cleaned the ship, they’re serving better food, covering up basically, but at least they’re making it more bearable,” said Kalin Hill, of Houston, who boarded the Triumph as part of a bachelorette party.

In a text message, though, she described deplorable conditions over the past few days.

“The lower floors had it the worst, the floors ‘squish’ when you walk and lots of the lower rooms have flooding from above floors,” Hill wrote. “Half the bachelorette party was on two; the smell down there literally chokes you and hurts your eyes.”

Shanar said passengers initially were given only cold cuts, such as turkey and vegetable sandwiches.

Then another cruise line dropped off hamburgers and chicken sandwiches, but the line for that fare was nearly four hours long, she said.

“There’s poop and urine all along the floor,” she said. “The floor is flooded with sewer water ... and we had to poop in bags.”

The 14-story ship still must negotiate a tricky, shallow shipping channel, and was expected to be the largest cruise liner to ever dock in Mobile.

The channel narrows to 400 feet inside Mobile Bay, and the ship was only 115 feet wide. It was traveling about 5 mph.

The company disputed the accounts of passengers who described the ship as filthy, saying employees were doing everything to ensure people were comfortable. Carnival didn’t immediately

from preceding page pay Social Security or payroll taxes.

It is estimated that more than $60 billion (not million) is paid by those who have used bogus Social Security numbers and will never see any of the retirement benefits they might have been eligible for. A bill is currently before Congress that addresses this problem. But House leaders have turned the facts around to portray the

bill as “giving illegal aliens our social security money”.

It is obvious to me that immigrants, be they legal or undocumented, keep our country running and the American dream alive. Just like immigrants of the last century, they do the difficult and unglamorous jobs that keep our society functioning.

BIG RIVER from page one in the sense that a musical setting of Twain’s message of diversity, acceptance, respect and freedom appeals to youngsters and adults alike, but also in that its cast features a number of family groups — parents and their children performing on the same stage.

“It’s a bonding experience,” said Elizabeth Rohdenberg of Meredith who is in the production along with her son, Rudy Beer. For Rudy, a fifth-grader at InterLakes Elementary School, this is his fourth time performing in a Winni Playhouse program. However, it marks his mother’s first time on stage. “I said (to Rudy), ‘Let’s try to get a bit part together.”

Ben Kace has the lead role of Huck and Bruce Smith plays the runaway slave, Jim, in the two-act play.

With a 40-member cast, “Big River” is the largestscale show Winni Playhouse has done since it was founded nine years ago, according to Lesley Pankhurst, the theater’s marketing director who is also in the production manager. Pankhurst’s husband, Neil, is the show’s director. Tara Little is in charge of choreography and Christine Chiasson is the music director for the Walter Hauptman-Roger Miller play, which opened on Broadway in 1985 and ran for 1,005 performances and won seven Tony Awards.

But it’s the involvement of various family groups in the ensemble which make this show extra special, Lesley Pankhurst says. “We wanted an activity that people can do with their kids.”

Like Sharona Bates and her 9-year-old daughter Kaira from Gilmanton. It was Kaira was the one who coaxed her mother to try out for the show. “I’ll audition, but I want you to do it with me,” Sharona recalls her daughter saying last fall when the casting call went out. Kaira has been performing most of her life. She began taking dance lessons when she was 3, and she is also takes violin lessons, her mother says.

Another family group is the Mitchell-Morris family of New Hampton. Jeremiah Morris, the

father plays five different parts in the play including the very opening scene in which he plays the role of a father reading from “The Adventures of Huckleberry” to his daughter, portrayed by his real-life daughter Jubilee Mitchell-Morris. His son, Shiloh,

and daughter, Calista are also in the show.

Tonight’s show begins at 7 p.m. On Saturday there will be a matinee at 2 p.m. as well an evening performance at 7. The final show will be Sunday at 2 p.m.

LAHM from page one J.K. fled the state and didn’t return until 2009.

Responding to a Right-To-Know request, Tilton Police this week released a redacted incident report of the 2006 arrest of Lahm that detailed the alleged assault and indicated former Belknap County Attorney Lauren Nother tried to interview J.K. the day after she reported the crime but she said J.K. declined to be interviewed.

Police attempted repeatedly to contact her but on January 9 — six days after she reported the alleged assault — J.K. left a message on the Tilton Police officer’s voice mail that she didn’t wish to go forward

with the case. The charge of forcible rape against Lahm was placed on file and the case is considered closed by Tilton Police.

Since 2006, police records show Lahm has allegedly assaulted three other women, in 2008, 2010 and November 2012. Affidavits filed in the 6th Circuit Court, Franklin Division supporting a search of his home in November of 2012 detail the report filed by his alleged latest victim of her being drugged and held captive in his home for nearly a month. Tilton Police executed a warrant and found cocaine and ketamine along with 51 bottle of pills of medication legally prescribed to him. He is charged with two

felony counts of drug possession.

According to the ruling granting the restraining order on September 17, 2012 obtained from the N.H. Supreme Court regarding J.K., investigators working on behalf of Lahm approached her in Rockingham County Superior Court on August 1, 2012 where she had appeared for a minor traffic matter.

The two, identified as retired N.H. State Police Sgt. Douglas Call and Matthew Tinkham, used the assistance of a court security officer and a former colleague to locate and approach J.K. who “mistaken believed (and was led to believe) the investigators see next page

TRACK from page one running surface and the asphalt base. With warm temperatures, the water turns to vapor and, unable to escape, causes the surface of the track to bubble.

Dunleavy said that the issues with the track are not unique to Laconia, but have appeared with like surfaces installed by the same contractor at other locations. from preceding page were police officers and agreed to meet with them in a conference room.”

When asked about “Kevin Lahm” she told the court she felt they were police officers and she shared details of her alleged assault. She said she felt “’caught off guard’ and ‘blindsided.’”

J.K. said when the investigators finished she realized the were not police officers. She said they left the court house and immediately got on their cell phones. She contacted various police officials who she knew and trusted to try and learn what had just happened.

She learned the investigators worked for Lahm.

They had apparently tracked her and learned they would find her at the courthouse. She also learned they had previously gone to her parent’s home in Exeter and asked her neighbors where she was.

That was when she filed for a restraining order against Lahm and his representatives.

DeVries also determined that Lahm had, at one point after the 2006 alleged assault, entered “without any authority, permission or knowledge of J.K.” her uncle’s home where she had been staying and stood in their kitchen “in an effort to intimidate her not to testify against him.”

Lahm’s civil attorney Michael J. Sheehan argued that Lahm was unaware of the investigators and that he, as his attorney in a civil action against the police who had originally prosecuted him, had hired the investigators. He told the court that J.K.’s name came up at a deposition at which Lahm was present and he felt it was his duty to find her so he could adequately represent him.

The civil case Lahm filed against the Tilton Police

Dunleavy is awaiting a final report from the engineering consultant, but said that it appears the rubberized surface will have to be removed from the entire oval and the exposed asphalt milled and overlaid to ensure a secure bond with a new surface. He said that the cost of the project will depend on the type of surface, adding that the alternatives, along with estimated costs, will be included in the final report.

and Det. Michael Farrington for a 2008 arrest for sexual assault citing malicious prosecution was filed in 2011 and dismissed by Judge James O’Neill last fall. The victim in that case also declined to testify against Lahm.

“The Court finds the contention that Respondent (Lahm) was unaware to be unpersuasive,” wrote DeVries granting the restraining order. DeVries also noted there was no evidence of a contract with the investigators detailing how and how much they were paid.

DeVries wrote, “The Plaintiff (J.K.) 6.5 years later, has a palpable fear of the respondent reignited by the encounter with the investigator on 8/1/2012.”

“She believes he has the financial ability and emotional constitution to continue to harass her and her family. She has moved on successfully with her life and wants to be free from any continued contact from him or his representatives,” continued DeVries, finding that Lahm is a “credible threat to her.”

Lahm’s criminal attorney, James Moir, filed a motion on September 26, 2012 to reconsider DeVries ruling and it was denied. Moir filed an appeal with the N.H. Supreme Court and in December of 2012 the court agreed to hear the appear.

The Daily Sun has learned Lahm had a different criminal lawyer representing him last week in the 6th Circuit Court, Franklin Division at the probable cause hearing held on the recent drug charges.

Judge Edward “Ned” Gordon found probable cause for the drug arrests and the case will go forward in Belknap County Superior Court.

Tilton Police Chief Robert Cormier said the investigation into the latest alleged assault continues and that he is working with Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen and federal authorities.

Dunleavy said that when the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Committee began setting its priorities for capital projects for fiscal year 20132014, the extent of the problems with the track were not fully known. Consequently, the resurfacing of the track was not included among the committee’s recommendations. He said that he and City Manager Scott Myers are working to include funding for the work in the 2013-2014 city budget in anticipation of repairing the track sometime after July 1.

In the meantime, Dunleavy said that the track will remain closed, which the leaves the schools unable to host running events this spring. Jim Chase, athletic director of Laconia High School, could not be reached to comment on the kind of arrangements that are being considered to accommodate practices and meets.

Thursday, companies quickly removed billboards and advertising featuring Pistorius, a national hero in South Africa who also inspired fans worldwide with the image of his high-tech carbon-fiber blades whipping through the air.

Kenny Oldwage, Pistorius’ lawyer, told reporters the athlete was “emotional” after his arrest, “but he is keeping up.” He said he planned to seek bail for Pistorius at a preliminary hearing Friday.

Pistorius has had troubles in the past in his personal life, which often featured fast cars, cage fighters and women.

In February 2009, he crashed a speedboat on South Africa’s Vaal River, breaking his nose, jaw and several ribs and damaging an eye socket. He required 180 stitches to his face. Witnesses said he had been drinking, and officers found alcoholic beverages in the wreckage, though they did not do blood tests.

In November, Pistorius was involved in an altercation over a woman with a local coal mining milsee next page

Chimney fire hot enough to crack bricks BELMONT — Firefighters from Belmont and Gilmanton extinguished a stubborn chimney fire yesterday afternoon at 497 Brown Hill Road that was so hot it cracked the liner and bricks.

Belmont Lt. Fred Greene said the call came in at 4:49 p.m. from the homeowner while crews were returning from a medical call.

He said firefighter found a two-story chimney with a wood stove in the basement were burning “from top to bottom” when they arrived.

Firefighters extinguished the fire in the wood stove and the chimney. He said they checked to see if the fire had extended into the home and it had not.

Greene said the fortunately the

homeowner was home and realized immediately that he had a fire. He tamped down the damper, called 9-1-1, and left the house.

“We are very glad he was there and that this didn’t happen in the middle of the night,” Greene said.

Greene said the fire was in a rural section of Belmont that doesn’t have municipal water but not a lot of water was needed.

He said the house is inhabitable and the family has a back up alternative heat source.

A total of eight Belmont firefighters and four Gilmanton firefighters responded to the scene. No one was injured.

— Gail Ober

from preceding page aire, South African media reported.

The two men involved the South African Police Service’s elite Hawks investigative unit before settling the matter.

Pistorius’ father, Henke Pistorius, said Thursday: “We all pray for guidance and strength for Oscar and the lady’s parents.”

A spokeswoman for Pistorius at Fast Track, an international sports marketing agency in London, said the athlete was assisting with the investigation and there would be no further comment “until matters become clearer.”

The sprinter’s former coach, Andrea Giannini, said he hoped the shooting was “just a tragic accident.”

“No matter how bad the situation was, Oscar always stayed calm and positive,” Giannini told The Associated Press in Italy. “Whenever he was tired or nervous, he was still extremely nice to people. I never saw him violent.”

Firearms captivated Pistorius, the subject of an online Nike advertisement that featured him with the caption: “I am a bullet in the chamber.”

In November 2011, he posted a photo-

graph on Twitter of himself at a shooting range, bragging about his score.

“Had a 96% headshot over 300m from 50shots! Bam!” he wrote.

Linked to a number of women by the South African media, Pistorius and Steenkamp were first seen together publicly in November. She was named one of the world’s 100 Sexiest Women for two years running by the men’s magazine FHM. The leggy blonde with a law degree also appeared in international and South African ads and was a celebrity contestant on “Tropika Island of Treasure,” a South African reality show filmed in Jamaica.

While known for her bikini-clad, vamping photo spreads, she tweeted messages urging women to stand up against rape. Her tweets also focused on Pistorius, with one of her last messages noting her excitement over Valentine’s Day. “What do you have up your sleeve for your love tomorrow?” she wrote. “It should be a day of love for everyone.”

Police have not publicly named Steenkamp as the victim, saying only that a 30-year-old woman was killed.

Our Memories:

How Reliable Are They?

Monday, February 18 at 11:00 am

We’ve all experienced forgetting in our lives and have observed that human memory is imperfect.

Yet, certain memories remain vivid for many years. However, the vivid memories we confidently remember may disagree with those of a sibling or spouse.

Dr. Angela Kilb of Plymouth State University will discuss memory research and show how easy it is to implant a false memory, as well as the implications this has on everyday life, including the impact of false memories on eyewitness testimony. She received her PhD in Cognition and Neuroscience from the University of Missouri, where she studied the effects of aging and divided attention on memory performance. She is currently an assistant professor at PSU and the director of the Lifetime Learning Laboratory.

Mastering the assist – Stivali helps lead LHS unified basketball team

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — In basketball, the assist doesn’t get as much attention as the scoring shot that follows, or the defensive effort at the other end of the court.

A great passer, though, one with the knack to deliver the ball to the right player at the right instant, can break down a defense and propel an offense. This year, playing the role of the on-court leader of the Laconia High School unified basketball team, senior Peter Stivali has learned to appreciate the art of the assist.

SPORTS Bulldogs take OT win over Laconia-Winnisquam Wolfpack The Laconia-Winnisquam ice hockey team played Wednesday night against Belmont-Gilford to a 5-4 overtime loss. Dakota Tyno had 3 goals and 1 assist for the Wolfpack, Rob Goodell had a goal, Brayden Harriman had 39 saves.

Lakes Region Ice Racing Club lapped Berry Pond on Sunday Members of the Lakes Region Ice Racing Club enjoyed a beautiful day of racing on Berry Pond in Moultonborough on Sunday.

Northfield’s Tim Chase in his Toyota MR2 continued his dominance of the 4-cylinder class, winning his 3rd and 4th 2013 feature events. Brian Jensen of Sandwich, driving his red, black, and white pickup finished second in both features.

DJ Mills of Wolfboro handily won the first Modified feature, but broken rear suspension took him out the second. It was looking like the sprint cars were going to win both features until Tuftonboro’s Jake Williams got upside down in the snow bank while dealing with a lap car. Last week’s winner Rick Martel of Moultonboro took the lead on the restart and drove on to the checkers.

During the hot laps for the Junior Division, Moultonboro drivers Chris Taylor and Jackie Martel were involved in a crash, removing both cars from competition. Borrowing his sister Alicia’s car, Taylor went on to win both features. Cody Brown of Center Harbor finished second in the features in his pickup.

In the V8 Stock division, Moultonboro’s Matt Morrill driving the black, Morrill Excavation Monte Carlo, won both features. Tamworth’s Danny Cook finished second in the first feature and Moultonboro’s Adam Cahoon was the runner up in the second feature. Dylan Cook of S. Tamworth finished third in both events in only his third week of racing.

The Club’s next event is scheduled for Sunday on either Lee or Berry Pond starting at 12:30.

“They can put a smile on your face, even if you’re having a bad day,” said Stivali. He wishes his team mates got more respect and acceptance at school, and that more fans would come to their games. “I think people think they’re incapable of doing things,” he said. Those impressions are false, he added. “People underestimate them – some of these players are really good.”

HASSAN from page one than the current $2.6 billion budget. That is a $184 million increase over two years.

Hassan also included $38 million in her public works budget for a new women’s prison, beefed up spending on mental health, restored aid to the community colleges and gave the university system 90 percent of the aid it had been getting by the second year. She proposes adding money for charter schools, but giving the state education board more authority over their placement and the type of school.

She also would expand Medicaid in the budget under the Obama administration’s federal health care overhaul, citing the long-term benefits to the state’s poor. She would partially restore funding for a program to help troubled kids who aren’t delinquent.

Bradley of Wolfeboro objected to including Medicaid expansion in the budget because it commits New Hampshire to a program based on a funding promise from the federal government that is trillions in debt.

“For too long, our corrections system has woefully neglected women. Like our men’s prison, our new women’s prison must offer facilities that can provide the programs that help individuals safely move back

into society when they have served their sentences,” she said.

A new women’s prison has been discussed for years, but has not been included it in a public works budget. The state is being sued over conditions at the women’s prison in Goffstown.

Hassan said the community colleges and university system have promised to ask their boards to freeze in-state tuition in exchange. Interim University System of New Hampshire Chancellor Todd Leach said he was confident his board would approve the freeze.

Hassan also would hit up smokers to help pay for spending. They would pay $1.98 per pack in her budget— a 30-cent increase.

She also includes $200,000 each year in the budget for search and rescue operations. For years, the Fish and Game Department has funded the program with license fees on hunters, anglers, snowmobiles and offhighway-recreation vehicles. The program has been running a deficit and critics argue hikers should pay a share since most of the rescues involve them.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis feels as though a cyclical force is pulling you along and it would be futile to resist it. That may be so, but you won’t know for sure until you are fully aware.

The patterns and cycles of your life are a worthy study.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In some way, you are recovering your balance. Don’t expect that this will happen just once. The dance of life requires you to be in a constant state of recovery.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There is a right way and a wrong way to fish. The right way is to show up where the fish are with bait they enjoy and wait patiently for a nibble. There are too many wrong ways to mention, as you’ll witness today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Sometimes you feel that there is nothing more you can do other than submit to the fates. There are times when this is so, but this is not one of them. Take a long walk. You’ll return with new possibilities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The outcome you desire will only be possible if you stay the course, maintaining your integrity in each situation. That sounds difficult, but every right choice you make will strengthen you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 15).

Regardless of what you want to share, promote, sell or achieve, you’ll meet the people who can help you reach your goals. Over the next six weeks, you’ll increase your responsibilities. Magically, your stress levels decrease. Conscientious behavior leads to making great money. You’ll travel in May and December. Aries and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 5, 14 and 36.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Be careful where you throw your energy.

If you’re not absolutely sure, don’t go all in. A ram who butts into the bramble will find himself in a tangled-up mess.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you give people something to resist, they will resist it today. That’s why you would be wise to influence through your subtle example. Your presence is stronger than you know.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Doing the right thing in general will lead to specific improvements in the situation that most needs it. You have great powers of endurance that will lead to your eventual success.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are a bit like the tides -- eternally faithful to the moon, forever carrying bits from shore to shore. Through you, lovely mixes happen. Lively varieties are born.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The moment of truth isn’t really a single moment; rather, it’s a series of small choices that add up to a particular destiny. You condition yourself by doing right in a million tiny ways.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your complexities are made obvious now.

There are many polarities inside of you. An awesome power will come of accepting the strong and weak, the good and bad and everything else that makes up who you are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Gravity is invisible, but you have no problem seeing its effect. Love is the same way.

You only realize it’s there when people react to its power. Where there is no action or movement, love will go undetected.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 15, 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.

On this date: In 1764, the city of St. Louis was established

by Pierre Laclede and Auguste Chouteau.

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 1942, the British colony Singapore surrendered to Japanese forces during World War II. In 1952, a funeral was held at Windsor Castle for Britain’s King George VI, who had died nine days earlier.

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 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.

In 2002, a private funeral was held at Windsor Castle for Britain’s Princess Margaret, who had died six days earlier at age 71.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My wife and I are having marital problems.

Our issues started when I caught her lying to me and talking privately on the phone to my best friend of 12 years -- the same guy who was the best man at my wedding. After arguing for a few days, I asked her to make a sincere effort to go for counseling, and she agreed. I also asked her to stop speaking to my friend during the time we are trying to repair our marriage. She agreed to that, too.

However, this guy messages her on Facebook, and she still reads his comments. We went to our first counseling session, and I felt it went well. But when we got home, I realized that she was having doubts. She finally said she had not been in love with me for five years.

Annie, we have a beautiful 16-month-old baby girl. I want to repair our marriage for our child’s sake, as well as for us.

What should I do? Can marriage counseling help if there’s no love? -- Dying in New York Dear New York: Marriage counseling can help if there once was love that can be recaptured, or if both parties are dedicated to making the marriage work. A compatible marriage doesn’t necessarily require passion for each other, only a commitment to the stability of the relationship. But you cannot do it alone. Please continue with counseling. If your wife wants to work on the marriage, she will come along and make the necessary effort. But if she is unwilling, the counselor will help you forge your own path.

Dear Annie: Would you please define “immediate family”?

My granddaughter is getting married in May. She is inviting “immediate family only,” thus excluding my daughter (her aunt) and my daughter-in-law’s sister.

This is going to cause a lot of hurt feelings and might even

create a split in the family. I am invited, but not my male friend of 14 years. I have talked to my son, the father of the bride, but he does not want to get involved.

Our side of the family is not as large as the groom’s. My exhusband (the grandfather) will not be attending. Why can’t my daughter take his place? What about my daughter’s husband? My relationship with my granddaughter is very close, so I don’t understand this, and it’s causing tremendous stress.

Please advise. -- Gram Dear Gram: “Immediate family” refers to the bridal couple’s parents and siblings. (If the bride and groom have children, they would also be part of the immediate family.)

Grandparents are usually included as “immediate family,” but not aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws or other relatives. Your companion of 14 years should be invited because the two of you are an established couple. If your daughter is invited, her husband should be, as well.

Your granddaughter gets to determine her side of the wedding list. Although we understand how painful this is for you, as long as ALL aunts, uncles and cousins are excluded, it is equitable.

Dear Anne: The replies to “Your Husband,” who made excuses for his extramarital adventures, left out a third option besides suffering with no sex and having affairs. Masturbation can keep those guys who feel they will die of frustration from wandering.

I used to think of masturbation as cheating on my wife, but no longer. After 50 years, we are still partners in every other way, and we still hold hands in bed. I am not looking for a replacement “as long as we both shall live.” -- Old Codger

21st annual Swift Diamond Riders Club’s N.H. SnoDeo held March 1-2 at Coleman State Park STEWARTSTOWN — The 21st annual Swift Diamond Riders Club’s N.H. SnoDeo will be held March 1-2 at Coleman State Park in Stewartstown.

The SnoDeo is known as the first place in the Northeast where snowmobilers can test ride the next model year snowmobiles. The four major snowmobile manufacturers: Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski Doo and Yamaha will all once again be represented with opportunities to try out the 2013 and 2014 snowmobiles.

A new entry to the snowmobile industry, Phantom Snowmobiles, will offer demo rides of their ¾ size snowmobiles through Scott’s Recreation of Turner, Me. Sponsors and exhibitors to the SnoDeo include Absolute Powersports, Profile Powersports, Ridelite, the Society for

the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, CR Helicopters, Chappell Tractor and the New Hampshire National Guard.

The SnoDeo welcomes new sponsors North Country Ford and Snow Xu Collapsible Snowshoes.

The Swift Diamond Riders Club is a snowmobile club based in West Stewartstown. The club boasts nearly 800 members. Named one of Snowgoer Magazine’s “Top 10 must experience snowmobile events” in the U.S., the SnoDeo is held March 1-2 and benefits the club for trail maintenance, as well as other club activities that promote snowmobiling in New Hampshire’s North Country.

GILMANTON — The Gilmanton Fire Department is now utilizing a new communications service that allows it to send important, valuable community information directly to residents Fire Chief Paul J. Hempel says the Nixle Community Information Service allows the department to create and publish messages to be delivered to subscribed residents instantly via cell phone text message and/or email. Notifications can also be accessed online at Nixle’s web site at www.nixle.com.

Messages may include alerts about impending weather conditions, large scheduled or emergency events as well as other relevant safety and event information.

Chief Hempel hopes the residents of Gilmanton will

use the service. “This is a free, yet valuable service that we can provide to our residents to keep them notified about emergency or routine issues that may affect them.”

The messages can be sent specifically to residents registered within a ¼ mile radius, giving them the opportunity to receive trustworthy information relevant only to their neighborhood. Residents decide from which local agencies they want to receive information. Subscribers can also choose the way in which alerts are received, whether it is by email, text message, or over the web.

Residents of the Town of Gilmanton and those in neighboring communities can immediately begin receiving pertinent information via text message, email, and web by registering at www.nixle.com.
