CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s House voted Wednesday in favor of repealing a new program giving businesses a tax credit for donating to scholarship organizations that send students to private or public schools, but the effort to do away with the year-old law faces an uncertain future in the Republican-controlled Senate.

The bill passed by the Democrat-controlled House — which has the support of Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan — would undo the measure passed last summer by Republicans despite a veto by then-Gov. John Lynch. Repeal supporters have said the law gives money to private and religious schools without accountability at a time when the state is struggling to fund public schools.

Whether the bill reaches Hassan’s desk will depend on the Senate, where a key see REPEAL page 12

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Gov. Rick Scott announced plans Wednesday to expand Medicaid coverage to roughly 900,000 more people under the federal health overhaul, a surprise decision from the vocal critic of President Barack Obama’s plan.

Scott said he will ask the Legislature to expand the program under a bill that would expire in three years, after which it would require renewed legislative support.

He’s the seventh Republican governor so

far to propose expanding the taxpayerfunded health insurance program.

Scott said he would support the expansion as long as the federal government pays 100 percent of the increased costs, which is the deal offered to states by the Obama administration for the first three years. After that, the federal government said it would pay 90 percent of the cost for the additional enrollees.

The governor said he gained new perspective after his mother’s death last year,

calling his decision to support a key provision of the Affordable Care Act a “compassionate, common sense step forward,” and not a “white flag of surrender to government-run healthcare.”

“Before I ever dreamed of standing here today as governor of this great state, I was a strong advocate for better ways to improve healthcare than the governmentrun approach taken in the President’s healthcare law. I believe in a different see MEDICAID page 9

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — The prosecution case against Oscar Pistorius began to unravel Wednesday with revelations of a series of police blunders and the lead investigator’s admission that authorities have no evidence challenging the double-amputee Olympian’s claim he killed his girlfriend accidentally.

Detective Hilton Botha’s often confused testimony left prosecutors rubbing their heads in frustration as he misjudged dis-

tances and said testosterone — banned for professional athletes in some cases — was found at the scene, only to be later contradicted by the prosecutor’s office.

The second day of what was supposed to be a mere bail hearing almost resembled a full-blown trial for the 26-year-old runner, with his lawyer, Barry Roux, tearing into Botha’s testimony step by step during cross examination.

Police, Botha acknowledged, left a 9 mm slug

from the barrage that killed Reeva Steenkamp inside a toilet and lost track of illegal ammunition found inside the house. And the detective himself walked through the crime scene without wearing protective shoe covers, potentially contaminating the area.

Authorities, Roux asserted, were selectively taking “every piece of evidence to try to extract the most possibly negative connotation and present it to the court.” see PISTORIUS page 10

A few hours later, his wife, Sandra Jackson, pleaded guilty to filing false joint federal income tax returns that knowingly understated the income the couple received. She faces one to two years in

prison and a fine of $3,000 to $40,000.

In a 17-page prosecution document, Jackson’s wife admitted that from mid-2006 through mid-October of last year, she failed to report $600,000 in income that she and her husband earned from 2005 to 2011. see JESSE JR page 7

Pat Buchanan

Who killed the middle class?

“It is our generation’s task, then, to reignite the true engine of America’s economic growth — a rising, thriving middle class.”

So said Barack Obama in his State of the Union.

And for one of his ideas to reignite that engine, Republicans applauded.

“And tonight, I am announcing that we will launch talks on a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union — because trade that is free and fair across the Atlantic supports millions of goodpaying American jobs.”

One wonders if any of those in the hall who rose robotically at the phrase “free and fair” were aware of the trade results just in from 2012.

What were the 2012 figures for the European Union? U.S. exports to Europe fell, imports from Europe rose, and our trade deficit with the EU shot up 16 percent to $116 billion. We ran a trade deficit with Italy of $20 billion, with Ireland of $25 billion, with Germany of $60 billion. The Europeans are eating our lunch.

What about South Korea, the country with whom we signed a free-trade deal in 2012? U.S. exports to Korea fell last year, and due to a surge in imports our trade deficit in goods with South Korea soared 25 percent to $16.6 billion. Seoul’s trade minister who cut that deal and cleaned our clock should get a medal and the kind of bonus Americans reserve for people like hedge fund managers and the folks who ran Fannie and Freddie.

And Japan? Last year, Nippon ran a $76 billion trade surplus with the United States, second largest of any country. But that is insufficient for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who has bullied the Bank of Japan to drive down the yen 20 percent against the dollar in three months — to increase exports to America and cut imports. Look for the U.S. trade deficit with Tokyo to explode.

What about that NAFTA treaty the establishments of both parties heralded in the Clinton era? How has that worked out for Uncle Sam? Last year, the United States ran a trade deficit of $32 billion with Canada and twice that, $61 billion, with Mexico.

What was America’s overall trade position in 2012? We ran a global trade deficit in goods of $736 billion.

That is 5 percent of the U.S. economy. We are hemorrhaging jobs, factories, wealth.

In banking, consulting, lawyering — i.e., services — we had a nice surplus. That’s what we Americans do now.

Since Bush 1, when some of us began to argue loudly that a mindless ideological pursuit of free trade would imperil America’s industrial base, the total of U.S. trade deficits in goods with the world is approach-

ing $10 trillion — 10 thousand billion dollars!

Might this humongous dumping of foreign goods into the U.S.A., killing our factories, and the liberation of our transnational elite to close plants, outsource production, and bring foreign-made goods back free of charge into the U.S. market, have had something to do with killing the middle class? The U.S. median income stopped growing in the mid1970s, the same time we began to run 40 straight years of everexpanding trade deficits.

And how are we doing with China?

Well, if one reads the weekend Wall Street Journal, Feb. 9-10, on page A3 in the lower left-hand corner is a box with a story headlined, “Trade Gap Shrinks 21 Percent as Oil Imports Decline.” A positive headline, but about December only. In the 10th paragraph, however, was this tiny item: “Although the trade deficit with China narrowed 15.5 percent in December ... the yearlong deficit grew to a record.”

“Grew to a record”? What did that mean? Elsewhere, one learns that the U.S. trade deficit in goods with China was not only an all-time record, but the largest between any two nations in the history of the world — $315 billion. China now exports 6.3 times as much in manufactured goods to the United States, $417 billion’s worth, as we export to China. Over two decades, Republicans in the lead, America granted Beijing most favored nation status, then permanent normal trade relations. Then we squired Beijing into the World Trade Organization.

And since the courtship began, the trade surpluses China has run with the United States have enriched, empowered and emboldened her so that, today, brimming with ethnonational arrogance, China has laid claim to all the islands in the South and East China seas and is telling the U.S. Navy to stay out of the Yellow Sea and Formosa Strait. And the free-trade fanatics responsible for building up this Asian colossus challenging us in the Pacific now tell us we must “pivot” — i.e., shift — our planes, ships and troops out of Europe and the Mideast to Asia and the Western Pacific to contain the mighty and mammoth power their stupidity created.

Every nation seems to understand what our baby boomers were never taught. A trade balance is a measure of national power that reliably identifies rising and falling nations.

(Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)

LETTERS Coin collectors will want one of the new White Mountain quarters To the editor, The U.S. Mint has issued the first of 2013 and 16th overall in the America the Beautiful quarters program. It is a follow up to the state quarters program.

The newest quarter is a tribute to New Hampshire. It is the White Mountain National Forest quarter.

The quarter shows a very familiar scene. It is Mt. Chocorua. I believe the scene shows the mountain as seen from Sandwich.

It is a beautiful coin, which I expect many collectors will want.

It is very disappointing that none of the banks in Laconia are getting

them. I would like to know why.

I have made inquiries at every bank in the city and the only response from tellers is that they don’t know.

Unfortunately, there will always be some people living in tents To the editor, Dear Adam Michalewicz: There are homeless people in every town and city. They are homeless because they can’t afford a place to live or because they are making choices that keep them from living in a home.

People who can’t afford a home usually work to get back to a home, and they will ask Carey House or Laconia Housing and other housing programs to help them.

But the people who make choices that keep them from living in a home have other diseases or illnesses that don’t help them. Mental health issues are the biggest reason for people living in tents year around.

All the agencies in the City of Laconia are aware of who is living in tents and why they are living that way. The

police department checks on them and the other people living outside check on each other.

But sometimes there are people who will not do anything to change the way they live and will stay in tents year around.

We can help a homeless person who makes choices that keep them from living in a home by giving hope.

Some of the people who were living in tents this year have moved to a home because they got that hope and there was space available.

Unfortunately there will always be some people who live in tents. Our job as a community is to do the best we can to respect their dignity and keep them safe.

Gilford will stay safe as long as it’s known we’ll defend ourselves To the editor, I strongly suggest that everyone gets the easiest to use, smallest gun(s), learn how to best use it (or them), and stock enough ammunition to allow regular practice so use is well known, and it is known to be ready.

Also post a notice at your door, and/ or property entrance, that the occupants are armed and ready to defend themselves. Preparation is the best defense! My BB pistol is ready, but needs more regular practice (working on that). Dad’s 22 rifle needs practice.

Pepper spray should also be available,

that Dad’s shotgun has a big kick back, but it too should be cleaned, tested, and ready.

I understand that Gilford is a relatively safe area, but it will stay that way only if it is well known that most homeowners are well prepared to defend themselves, so that such defense is never needed. At the Naval Academy I qualified as an expert with all the various guns we trained with, but that was 58 years ago. The best part of the Naval Academy was sailing their 44-foot yawls!

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, February 21, 2013 — Page 5

LETTERS Environmental power brokers most concerned with making $ To the editor, This letter is in response to recent letters by Robert Moran and Dick Devens on “global warming”. I was surprised that they even used that term since environmental alarmists have ceased using that term after finding out that the earth has been cooling for over a decade now. Robert asserts that “climate change” is neither natural or benign. I think we would all agree that it is not benign, but there are many who would be shocked to hear credible scientific professionals proclaim that climate change is not natural. Especially since there has been climate change as long as this planet has been in existence.

Robert goes on to say, “The consensus within the scientific community is clear and straightforward. Global warming is real, increasing, man made and dangerous”. Wow, I wonder where he came up with that information? Toward the end of his “doom and gloom” scary letter, he informs us that ice is “receding in the northern and southern extremes of our planet”.

What is really scary is that Mr. Moran sounds like an alarmist mouthpiece for Al Gore, Maurice Strong and James Hansen. Joe Bastardi, one of our most accurate meteorologists, has the facts and charts at http://patriotpost. us/opinion/15298, which shows that the earth has in fact been cooling for over 10 years now. He goes on to tell us that recent years have not given us the worst storms of this century. His graph shows us that the 1950s gave us more numerous and severe hurricanes.

I wonder if Mr. Moran thinks polar bears are becoming extinct as does, or did, Al Gore, who took the cue from the flawed analysis of Biologist Charles Monnett. Most scientists who have

been keeping up with actual verifiable research, tell us that while there has been a recession of ice in the Arctic, there has been considerable growth in the Antarctic. As of September, 2012, there is a record 7.51 million square miles of frozen water. Even the Associated Press came out with this paradoxical article, “Experts: Global Warming Means More Antarctic Ice”.

Dick Devens asserts that some poll taken shows that 8 percent of citizens are dismissive of global warming and are also the loudest segment. Is it any wonder? From the gang at East Anglia to the numerous myths in Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” flawed documentary, anthropogenic global warming is increasingly seen by more in the scientific community as a hoax.

All concerned citizens want a clean, sustainable environment. However, if anyone thinks that the power brokers in the environmental movement are primarily concerned about a clean environment, then I’ve got some Solyndra stock you might want to purchase.

They are getting rich off of our tax dollars with green technologies that are many decades away from being viable. Please check out Washington Post editorial writer, Charles Lanes’ just released column about the awful waste of money that has been poured into the failed electric car industry. We are being hoodwinked folks as government continues to pick our pockets because it supposedly knows better how to spend our money. Once again, the facts are clear. It clearly does not. I would love to know where Robert and Dick came up with their information which appears to have been gleaned from 10 year old sources.

Zero American deaths at U.S. embassies while Bush was pres.

To the editor, This is in response to Ms./Mr. Siden’s letter in the Feb. 14th issue of this newspaper. My comments do not pertain to her/his disagreement over my “What difference does it make . . .” column, I am content to let my words be contrast to whatever she/he writes.

This letter deals with her/his closing paragraph which states, “Perhaps, in his next editorial, Mr. Meade will elaborate on the 12 attacks, the 56 killed and the 74 injured at United States facilities abroad during the previous administration; more than any administration in our history.

Whereas, the present administrations has experienced three such attacks, and one of those was in a war zone.”

Because of her/his inability to substantiate previous claims that she/ he made, I decided to see if I could validate the source for the above statement. I Googled, “How many attacks on U. S. Embassies during the Bush administration”. As expected, it brought forth a large number of responses, many of which were from left wing blogs. Here’s a brief summary of some of them, Media Matters (probably the left’s favorite site) identified seven attacks during the tenure of George W. Bush, with no Americans killed.

but did not show the attack on the Israeli and American embassies in Uzbekistan. They did show a total of 29 people killed in six attacks, but none of those killed were Americans.

Other blogs seemed to have accepted and passed on unsubstantiated information from blogs, similar to what Ms./Mr. Siden claimed.

In the interest of finding some reliable source, I went into Wikipedia for their historical report on attacks on diplomatic missions. Their report listed attacks on diplomatic sites of all nations. For the (GWB) period involved, Wikipedia showed there were a total of eight attacks over the eight year period, with 12 deaths in the attack in Karachi, Pakistan in 2002, and two deaths in the Uzbekistan attack. It should be noted that, based on the Media Matters report, the deaths in Karachi and Uzbekistan were not Americans.

As to Ms./Mr. Siden’s claim that there have been only three attacks during President Obama’s time in office, Wikipedia listed seven attacks: 2011-Damascus, Syria, Kabul,Afghanistan, and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 2012Cairo, Egypt, Benghazi, Libya, and Sanaa, Yemen, and in 2013-Ankara, Turkey.

LETTERS Mr. Leandro wants to use Engine 4 as his great claim to fame To the editor, First, I’d like to apologize to the people of Gilford for the back and forth between Mr. Leandro and myself regarding the repair of a 25-year-old fire engine. However, I can’t let his illogical response to the residents of Gilford go without some logical, businesslike thinking.

Mr. Leandro is absolutely correct, the DPW folks who repaired Engine 4 are and will be paid whether Engine 4 was in for repairs or not. But when a logical businesslike thinker wants to find out the “real”/actual costs of those repairs, the cost of the DPW hours spent NEEDS to be included in that calculation. This is a realistic and strategic thought process that Mr. Leandro either fails to understand or does not want to present due to HIS original, incorrect, incredibly low, repair estimate. And, uniquely enough, Mr. Leandro has based his long time town concerns on neglect of town vehicles.

I wonder how much other repair time was extended or wasted by spending 572 hours on one vehicle!

Unfortunately, as in his last rant, Mr. Leandro wants to use Engine 4 as his claim to fame! By his own words, Mr. Leandro taunts the Article 1 “yes” voters (59.99 percent out of 60 per-

cent needed) as he proudly emphasizes that “Gilford is not purchasing a new fire truck this year”. So at this point, we now have a 25 year old fire engine which was repaired for over $72,000 in real costs that we’ll need to try to keep in service for a number of years due to the excessive repair costs already invested. But the real question is what other “old truck” repair expenses will be realized over the next few years — another $20,000?

Already, we took a gamble on Engine 4 and lost. Unfortunately, we’re now extending our gamble. A good strategic move? I guess we’ll see. . .

Mr. Leandro also taunts me about signing my letters using my title as Selectman. While, the media often automatically uses this title, I always use and declare “in my opinion” as I am only one of the Selectboard. I totally understand this and, as usual, I did use “I” throughout this letter.

However, I do want to let the people of Gilford know that someone that’s working for them is thinking logically, strategically, and businesslike. Perhaps I should sign my letter “logical thinker”. But, I will again sign as. .

Ashland man facing 10 charges of rape

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

ASHLAND — A local man is facing 10 separate counts of rape after being indicted by a Grafton County grand jury last week.

N.H. State Police said they arrested Gregory Maggi, 32, no address given, and he is being held on $100,000 cash or surety bail at the Grafton County House of Corrections.

Police said they received a complaint about five months ago regarding a juvenile female and in the course of their investigation discovered what they said is a second victim.

Maggi is charge with three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, seven counts of felonious sexual assault, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and three counts of drug possession.

By way of brief explanation and according to the N.H. Department of Justice sexual assault protocols for police, felonious sexual assault includes the often called “statutory rape laws” and includes any sexual penetration of a person between the ages of 13 and 16 when the age difference between the two is greater than four years. It also applies when the person is in an authority position over the victim and coerces a victim into submission.

Aggravated felonious sexual assault includes situations that involve force or an expression of nonconsent, when the victim is helpless to resist, when the victim submits because of kidnapping, threats of retaliation or extortion, or if the victim is administered drugs without his or her knowledge or consent.

If convicted of aggravated felonious sexual assault, the accused can serve an enhanced penalty of as much as 20 years in prison for each conviction.

N.H. State Police said the Ashland Police assisted in their investigation and no further details are being released at this time.

JESSE JR from page 2 Before entering the plea to a conspiracy charge, Jesse Jackson told U.S. District Judge Robert L. Wilkins, “I’ve never been more clear in my life” in his decision to plead guilty.

Later, when Wilkins asked if Jackson committed the acts outlined in court papers, the former congressman replied, “I did these things.” He added later, “Sir, for years I lived in my campaign,” and used money from the campaign for personal use.

Jackson dabbed his face with tissues, and at point a court employee brought some tissues to Jackson’s lawyer, who gave them to the ex-congressman. Jackson told the judge he was waiving his right to trial.

“In perfect candor, your honor, I have no interest in wasting the taxpayers’ time or money,” he said.

U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen called the guilty plea “so tragic because it represents such wasted potential” and that Jackson used his campaign as “his own personal piggybank.” He said that Jackson could have been the voice of a new generation.

Machen credited Jackson for coming in early and telling the truth. “But today is his day of reckoning,” the prosecutor said.

The fraud, perpetuated over seven years, was “not a momentary lapse of judgment,” Machen said.He called Jackson’s victims the American people and said that Jackson betrayed the trust of contributors who “donated their hard-earned money.”

Machen declined to say what launched the investigation, but he said it did not stem from the House Ethics Committee investigation into Jackson’s dealings with Rod Blagojevich when he was governor.

Blagojevich is serving a prison sentence for trying to sell President Barack Obama’s former Senate seat.

Jackson had been a Democratic congressman from Illinois from 1995 until he resigned last November. He is scheduled to be sentenced June 28, and his wife on July 1. Wilkins, who presided over both guilty pleas, is not bound by the terms of the plea agreements. Both Jacksons are free until sentencing.

Northfield Police Chief Adams announces retirement

NORTHFIELD — After 37 years in law enforcement, Northfield Police Chief Steve Adams announced his retirement yesterday.

Adams said his last official day is May 4 and that he has recommended the selectmen convene a hiring panel to employ the next chief. He said Lt. John Raffaelly will be acting chief and he will continue to serve as special officer until the transition is complete.

Adams began his career in Northfield and then worked for the Franklin Police Department. After Franklin he returned to Northfield where he worked his way up the ranks. Adams has been Northfield’s police chief for seven years.

“Steve Adams wealth of knowledge and experience will be invaluable as the town transitions to

new leadership in the Police Department,”said Selectboard Chair Geoff Ziminsky. “We are grateful to be able to start the process while Steve is still on board to provide guidance and advice.”

Adams said he has not immediate plans for the future. He said he has fielded a few offers from the private sector but said after being a police officer for 37 years, he wouldn’t rule out doing some part-time work for some police department.

Adams and his wife have three children and seven grandchildren. His son is a police officer in Laconia and his daughter-in-law is a police detective in Northfield. One of his daughters works in a local school district and the other is a hairdresser in a local salon.

New fiber arts store moves into prominent downtown storefront

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Kelly Rolfe has been doing handwork since she was a young girl growing up in Belmont. Learning from her mother, she started with embroidering and soon expanded into other areas of fiber-based creation. She married, raised a large family, and helped run a farm in her hometown, but every moment her hands fell idle, she picked up a needle or a hook and began working on a project.

This week, Rolfe has added a new wrinkle to her life-long love of the fiber arts. She’s opened Artisan Wool and Fiber, a shop located at the corner of Canal Street and Beacon Street East.

“Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been doing something with handwork, needlework,” Rolfe explained. By following her interests, she was led to connect with the active community of local practitioners of various fiver arts. It was with this community in mind that she began to plan Artisan Wool and Fiber, a store that she was planning to operate out of her home until her husband stumbled across the listing for the space at 62 Canal Street. Rolfe loved the abundance of natural light in the space, the visibility associated with being near the Post Office, the Senior Center and City Hall, and, what she called the “deciding factor,” all of the like-minded businesses nearby. “Canal Street has an artistic flair,” she said.

In planning Artisan Wool and Fiber. Rolfe identified a niche. While there are shops in the region that cater to knitters and quilters, she said lovers of other fiber arts have to either travel for an hour or longer to find a store for supplies or buy products online.

“The goal was a place to locally offer goods that they could not readily buy,” said Rolfe. She will offer supplies for rug hooking, spinning weaving, penny rugs, among other items. For those curious about how to use the supplies, the store will offer a series of classes. Scheduled in March are classes in rug hooking, needle felting, beginning knitting, weaving, and a class on making a pair of mittens out of felted sweater pieces. If someone likes one fiber art, Rolfe said, there’s a good chance he or she might be interested in learning about another. “We really want people to come in here and try something different,” she said.

And then there are those who appreciate a handmade product but don’t want to produce it themselves, or those who have made so many items that they’ve run out of people to give them to, Rolfe is

offering completed items for sale in her store. Currently, her stock includes scarves, hooked rugs, mittens for adults and hats and booties for babies.

Carol Dale, a Gilford resident who plans to teach rug hooking as well as sell her hand-dyed wool products at Artisan Wool and Fiber, is among those excited to have a nearby place to support her passion. “I think it’s fantastic, we needed something here.”

Fiber arts originated as a craft of need, said Dale

and Rolfe, a way to provide items of clothing and to bring comfort and warmth into the home. Quickly, though, practitioners of the techniques found ways to create something that was as beautiful as it was useful, something that expresses individual creativity. Said Rolfe, “This is art, plain and simple. It’s traditional, it’s been around for such a long time, but it’s still fresh, people are still finding ways to think outside of the box.”

DERBY from page one and mushers. “All attempts were make to overcome the rain that hit the are but our efforts will further be hurt with the forecast of high temperatures and sun on Friday,” he said.

Lyman added there is hope that the pridicted Saturday evening snowstorm and the long-range fore-

cast for next week will enable the Derby to be held over the first weekend of march. A final decision will be made on Monday, February 25.

Last year’s Derby was canceled for lack of snow.

Commissioners say they, alone, will hire lawyer to defend convention against Tardif suit

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Belknap County Commissioners yesterday refused to permit the Belknap County Convention to hire legal counsel to represent the convention in litigation challenging the legitimacy of the election of its officers by secret paper ballot.

The lawsuit was brought in Belknap County Superior by Tom Tardif.

Although the convention and commission are at loggerheads over their respective authority over the county budget, the convention acknowledged that state statute authorizes the commissioners to hire legal counsel to represent the county and sought its permission to engage independent counsel. In denying the request, the commission agreed that it would hire an attorney to defend the convention against the suit.

In a petition filed earlier this month, Tardif, a former mayor of Laconia and local government watchdog and David Gammon, representing themselves, charge that the election of Representatives Colette Worsman (R-Meredith) as chairman and Bob Greemore (R-Meredith) as vice-chairman at the organizational meeting on December 10 was “a clear attempt to circumvent the state’s Right-To-Know laws.”

Citing the minutes, Tardif notes that when the organizational meeting convened “a senior member MEDICAID from page 2 approach. But, regardless of what I — or anyone else — believes, a Supreme Court decision and a presidential election made the President’s healthcare mandates the law of the land,” Scott said at a news conference.

The governor said he still worries that the president’s plan could “lead to less patient choice, worse care, and higher costs” but he can’t “in good conscience deny the uninsured access to care.” Scott stressed he won’t simply deny new Medicaid recipients health insurance after the three years are up, but said he will spend that time measuring how the expansion impacts healthcare costs, quality and access.

Scott, a former CEO of the HCA hospital chain, entered politics in 2009 running national cable TV commercials criticizing the president’s plan. Florida led the way in challenging the ACA in a lawsuit that went all the way to the Supreme Court. Scott also made the rounds on conservative talk shows repeatedly expressing concern that expanding Medicaid would put too much of a strain on Florida taxpayers.

At one point, he said the expansion would cost $26 billion over the next decade, but the state’s health

referred to a case from 1971 and indicated that the election of officers should be done by secret ballot.”

By a show of hands all 16 members of the convention present concurred. Worsman and Greemore were elected by a secret paper ballot.

Tardif claims that the Right-to-Know Law (RSA 91-A) includes no exception for secret ballots, but on the contrary stipulates that all votes taken in public meetings “shall be by roll call vote.” Moreover the Attorney General’s memorandum on the Right-toKnow advises that, “No vote in a public meeting may be taken by secret ballot” except for town meetings and elections, school district meetings and elections and village district meetings and elections.”

When the convention met this week Rep. Frank Tilton (R-Laconia) asserted that the election of officers was legitimate and offered a motion to “reaffirm” it. He recalled that when the convention elected Sheriff Craig Wiggin to complete the term of Dan Collis by secret ballot was successfully challenged in the New Hampshire Supreme Court, the remedy was to reaffirm the original vote. Since Tardif has challenged the legitimacy of subsequent actions taken by the convention, Tilton suggested that by reaffirming its election of officers the convention would protect its forthcoming vote on the 23013 county budget.

Rep. David Huot (D-Laconia), an attorney and care agency slashed its estimate to $3 billion after backlash from lawmakers over how the initial figure was calculated. After Obama was re-elected, Scott toned down his rhetoric, signaling he wanted to work with federal health officials. He even flew to Washington to meet with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius last month to discuss the expansion.

Florida lawmakers must still sign off on Scott’s decision, and the Legislature doesn’t meet until next month.

“I am personally skeptical that this inflexible law will improve the quality of healthcare in our state and ensure our long-term financial stability,” Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford said.

Angry conservatives said Scott owes his support base an explanation.

“I am flabbergasted. This is a guy who, before he was a candidate for governor, started an organization to fight ‘Obamacare’ in the expansion of medical entitlements. This is a guy who said it will never happen on his watch. Well, here it is,” said Slade O’Brien, Florida director of the conservative group Americans for Prosperity.

retired judge, cautioned the convention against acting without the advice of legal counsel. Representative Dennis Fields (R-Sanbornton), alone among the 13 Republicans who constitute a majority of the 18 members of the convention, balked, protesting that no notice was given that the issue would come before the meeting.

With no further debate, Tilton’s motion carried by a vote of eleven-to-two and four abstentions, with eleven of the twelve Republicans present voting in favor and two of the five Democrats voting against.

Fields and three Democrats abstained.

Likewise, on advice of bond counsel the convention reaffirmed the vote of its executive committee to authorize the county treasurer to borrow up to $10-million in anticipation of property taxes. Bond counsel was concerned that the suit filed by Tardif also clouded the election of the executive committee composed of Representatives Worsman, Tilton, Bob Greemore and Herb Vadney of Meredith, all Republicans.

CONCORD (AP) — The man identified by New Hampshire investigators as the ringleader of a nationwide identity theft and check counterfeiting ring has been sentenced to nine years in prison by a federal judge.

Forty-eight-year-old Edgar Rose of Pittsburgh pleaded guilty in October to wire fraud.

Rose told investigators he and coconspirator Quentin West of Pittsburg — who was sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison — had been counterfeiting

checks for about three years.

Investigators say they cashed more than $370,000 in bogus payroll checks at Walmarts nationwide before being arrested at the Tanger Outlet Mall in Tilton in 2011.

Rose’s lawyer argued to pare more than two years off the sentence to spare the burden to taxpayers to keep him behind bars.

Rose was also ordered to pay $371,000 in restitution.

SANBORNTON from page one ing that the Sanbornton selectmen weren’t interested in any of the four proposals presented to them for the Winnisquam Station.

After reading that Belmont selectmen didn’t want any further discussion about Winnisquam, members of the community, most of them from the Winnisquam area of town went to the February 13 Sanbornton selectman’s meeting, and expressed their dissatisfaction to their board.

Chief Paul Dexter said last night that the plans were worked up in a meeting between him, Tilton-Northfield Fire Chief Brad Ober and Belmont Fire Chief Dave Parenti would serve the bests interests of the entire town of Sanbornton.

At Nickerson’s request, Dexter said in the future if the three meet again, he would provide them “minutes” about the meeting.

He elaborated last night by saying that one of the plans, that would cost Sanbornton about $37,000 annually, would staff the Winnisquam Station during weekdays and that is the same time that his station is staffed.

He said it would make sense to him to reopen the Winnisquam Station if the plan was to provide some kind of 24-7 coverage — a plan that could cost about $100,000 each for Sanbornton and Tilton-Northfield and twice that for Belmont.

Dexter also added that while the Winnisquam Station was structurally fit for equipment, in his opinion it was not equipped to house an emergency

call squad 24 hours a day.

He also said that “was upset” by the idea that Sanbornton would send $37,000 to a different community when the town reduced his requested budget by $10,000 — a statement Selectman Chair Dave Nickerson took issue with.

Nickerson told him the Fire Department budget was about fire safety in the whole community. He also said Sanbornton was one community and he was sick of hearing about one side of town verses a different side of town.

Selectman Karen Ober wanted it known that Sanbornton’s decision not to participate in purchasing a new fire boat with Belmont for Lake Winnisquam and it’s decision not to follow one of the options for the Winnisquam Station presented to them by Dexter was about economics, not desire.

“We just (can’t) afford to do that at this time,” she said.

Nickerson said he has spoken with Belmont Selectboard Chair Jon Pike about the Winnisquam Station.

Pike confirmed last night that he had spoken with Nickerson and said he would speak to his board about the conversation.

At a recent Belmont meeting, Pike and fellow Selectman Ron Cormier expressed a desire to never hear the words Winnisquam Fire Station spoken again.

The building, near the Mosquito Bridge, has not been used as a fire station since the independent fire company that built and used it disbanded in 2007.

PISTORIUS from page 2 The case has riveted South Africa, with journalists and the curious crowding into the brick-walled courtroom where Pistorius, dubbed the Blade Runner for his prosthetic legs, faces a charge of premeditated murder in the Valentine’s Day slaying.

Pistorius says he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder and shot her out of fear, while prosecutors say he planned the killing and attacked her as she cowered behind a locked bathroom door.

The day seemed to start out well for the prosecution, with Botha offering new details of the shooting that appeared to call into question Pistorius’ account of the moments leading up to the 29-year-old model’s death.

Ballistic evidence, he said, showed the bullets that killed her had been fired from a height, supporting the prosecution’s assertion that Pistorius was wearing prosthetic legs when he took aim at the bathroom door. The

athlete has maintained he was standing only on his stumps, and felt vulnerable and frightened as he opened fire from a low position.

Projecting a diagram of the bedroom and bathroom, prosecutor Gerrie Nel said it showed Pistorius had to walk past his bed to get to bathroom and could not have done so without seeing that Steenkamp was not asleep there.

“There’s no other way of getting there,” Nel said in disputing Pistorius’ claim that he had no idea Steenkamp was no longer in bed when he pumped four bullets into the bathroom door, striking her with three.

Botha backed the prosecutor up, saying the holster for Pistorius’ 9 mm pistol was found under the left side of the bed, where Steenkamp slept, and it would have been impossible for Pistorius to get the gun without checking to see if she was there.

“I believe that he knew that Reeva was in the bathroom and he shot four shots through the door,” the detective said.

Convention unlikely to fund new union contracts

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Belknap County Commissioners voted yesterday to approve the collective bargaining agreements negotiated with the three unions representing employees of the Belknap County Nursing Home, Sheriff’s Department and Corrections Department. The unions ratified the contracts last week. But, there is little likelihood the agreements will be funded.

Before the commission can ratify the contracts, the Belknap County Convention must approve the cost items included in them — step raises for eligible employees at $115,000 along with approximately $35,000 in funding for bonuses for unused sick days and longevity of service. The convention has eliminated the funding not only for these three cost items but also for the increase in health insurance premiums from the 2013 county budget.

The commission asked the convention to consider the cost items in the new contracts when the convention met this week, but after placing the subject on the agenda, Rep. Colette Worsman (R-Meredith), who chairs the convention, refused to bring the item to the floor for discussion.

The agreements include the merit step raises for eligible employees recommended by the Belknap County Commission but stripped from the 2013 county budget by the Belknap County Convention. Although employees would receive no increase to their salary schedules this year, they would be awarded a two-percent raise for every level in June, 2014, prior to the expiration of the agreement, funds for which would be appropriated in the 2014 county budget.

The employees’ contributions to the cost of health insurance remain unchanged. However, the contracts include incentives designed to reduce health care costs by providing employees paths to wellness.

REPEAL from page 2 swing vote, Sen. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton, said Wednesday it was too soon to consider repeal.

Rep. Mary Giles, D-Concord, said the tax credit law needs to go.

“Our New Hampshire constitution specifically prohibits money from going to religious schools,” she said.

The entire county complex would become a nonsmoking area. All employees would be required to undergo a health assessment and physical examination as well as participate in a wellness program. The contribution to premium costs of those who failed to comply would increase by as much as three times.

The program is intended to lower the risk profile of county employees and with it future premium costs.

The county’s union contracts expired at the end of 2012. If the new contracts are not ratified, the relationship between the county and its union employees will revert to the status quo. In return for employees foregoing the right to strike and in order to provide employers with incentive to bargain, public employee contracts are governed by the so-called “doctrine of status quo.” It stipulates that when collective bargaining agreements expire their terms and conditions, except for so-called cost items, remain in effect pending ratification of a new agreement.

Step raises, or new rates of pay specified by a salary schedule for an additional year of service, qualify as cost items and are not awarded in lieu of a new contract. But, since health insurance is a defined benefit in the contracts, without an assigned dollar value, public employers are obliged to continue to pay their agreed upon percentage of premium costs for specified policies, regardless of the cost of the premiums.

Without funding for the 7.3-percent increase in health insurance premiums, the county commission could find itself with the choice of asking employees to contribute a greater share to the cost their health insurance or laying off enough employees to provide health insurance to the remainder at the new cost. If employees were to bear the additional cost, the contribution of those with two-person and family plans, who currently contribute five-percent, to 11.5-percent.

Indeed, the law’s constitutionality is being challenged in court by three civil liberties groups. The next hearing in the lawsuit is scheduled for April 26, but the court has already ordered that scholarship organizations be made aware they might not be able to distribute money to students, depending on the outcome of the lawsuit.

Repeal opponents argue the law’s constitutionality was thoroughly vetted by the legislature before its passage and repealing it would hurt low-income families by denying them greater academic choice.

“This is private money being used to provide private scholarships to children from low- and moderate-income families,” said Rep. David Hess, R-Hooksett.

Lots of people show up for wind farm moratorium bill

CONCORD (AP) — A bill that would put a moratorium on wind farm projects in New Hampshire is getting a lot of attention.

Several hundred people showed up at the State House on Tuesday for a hearing on it. Many testified the projects would reduce property values. They said new wind farms need to be stopped until a comprehensive energy plan exists.

But some opposed to a moratorium said it would

COUNTY from page one tion of new positions made up most of the balance of the cuts.

Earlier the commission offered to modify its original budget proposal with a mix of increased revenues and decreased expenditures amounting to $1,219,500.

Although there are common elements in the two plans, the convention drew $250,000 from fund balance to supplement revenues while the commission proposed using twice that. Both plans eliminated funding for step raises, but the convention also stripped bonuses for unused sick time and longevity of services along with funds to defray the entire 7.3-percent jump in the cost of health insurance premiums.

Throughout the budget process the Rep. Colette Worsman (R-Meredith), chair of the convention, supported by most of her 12 Republican colleagues among the 18 members of the convention, has insisted that the convention possesses the authority to rewrite the budget proposed by the commission by adding or deletfrom preceding page and home schooled students can qualify for scholarships if their family meets income requirements.

The maximum income for eligibility is $57,000 for a family of three and $69,000 for a family of four.

The business donations would go to organizations created to provide scholarships of up to $2,500 to eligible students. Businesses have thus far donated $136,000 of the $3.4 million allowed in the first year.

Hess said tax credits are not unusual in New Hampshire, pointing to credits for research and development as well as North Country economic development.

Hess rejected the characterization by repeal supporters that the scholarships are vouchers, saying vouchers can be used as the recipient sees fit whereas there are limits on how the scholarships can be used.

WMUR-TV reports Tyler Eaton, who represents union workers, said the bill would stop investment in the state and kill jobs.

An attorney for Trans Canada, which owns local hydro dams, said it goes against a 2007 law saying the state should move toward renewable forms of energy to improve air quality and public health and mitigate climate change.

ing, raising or lowering particular line items.

With equal resolve the three county commissioners claim that the authority of the convention is limited.

This week the commission received a legal opinion prepared by Donahue, Tucker & Ciandella of Exeter upholding its position. In particular, the opinion holds that the convention must itemize appropriations in accord with the “Statement of County Appropriations and Revenue as Voted,” or MS-42 form.

The MS-42 lists appropriations under 13 categories, encompassing for the major county departments and functions, revenues under five categories. It closes with a summary of the total appropriations and revenues and the amount to be raised by taxes. The form is signed by the chair and clerk of the convention and submitted to the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration, which authorizes the county to tax, using the municipalities as collectors.

While the convention has worked from the budget document presented by the commissioners, from time to time Worsman has distributed spreads sheets of her own design as well as as requested additional information from county administrators.

However, this week, in preparing to vote on the budget next week, the convention voted to require the administration assign account numbers to line items it had added to the budget and to create additional accounts, especially for the salaries of individual department heads.

Both John Thomas of Belmont, the chairman of the commission, and Commissioner Ed Philpot of Laconia reminded the convention that the commission supervised the county administration.

“They don’t work for you,” Philpot said.

When the commissioners met yesterday they agreed that when the convention is prepared to vote on the budget, which could be next week, it will be presented with the MS-42 form, not a line item budget it wants formatted to its own specification.

Laconia Adult Education offering 7-week SAT Preparation Class starting on March 13

LACONIA — Laconia Adult Education will be offering an SAT (College Board) Preparation Class beginning on Wednesday, March 13, for seven weeks.

The SAT Preparation Classes are scheduled to end on Wednesday, May 1, in time for the SAT Exam that is scheduled to be given on Saturday, May 4.

The SAT Preparation Classes are designed to help students score better on the mathematics, reading comprehension and written essay sections of the SAT Exam. The SAT Exam will test subject areas that students have learned throughout four years of high school. Emphasis will be placed on three segments: reading, writing and arithmetic. A perfect score on the SAT Exam is 2400.

The writing section will be divided between multiple choice questions on grammar and style and an essay students must write on an assigned topic. In the past, the SAT Exam had been strictly multiple choices.

The SAT Exam now is becoming a test of critical reading, comprehensive writing and higher mathematics in addition to a test of learned skills that you use to reason.

Students will improve problem solving skills involving basic math, Algebra, Algebra II and Geometry. Emphasis will also be placed on helping the student score better on the written essay portion of the exam. The SAT Preparation classes will also better prepare the students for the different types of questions asked, when to guess at a question, and how to pace oneself so as to not run out of time. Test taking tips will also be given. The skills required by the new SAT are those same skills needed by all high school students today.

For more information or to enroll in the SAT Preparation Class, contact Peggy Selig, Director, Laconia Adult Education at 524-5712.

Laconia company markets first portable carbide runner- sharpening tool

LACONIA — No one knows better than Glenn Welch just how frustrating it is to need a new set of runners when on a snowmobile trip – and how expensive.

The founder and president of WelchManufacturing Technologies in Laconia has been an avid snowmobiler for more than three decades, logging an impressive 2,000 miles on the trails every season.

And until now, he and the other owners of the 2 million snowmobiles registered in the United States and Canada had no option other than to replace those worn runners, sometimes even limping back to base camp to do so.

Enter BITEHARDER, the snowmobile industry’s first carbide runner sharpening tool. The portable, user-friendly tool designed and developed by Welch offers winter-sports enthusiasts the flexibility of sharpening their runners even when installed on a sled and on the trail. Allowing the runners to bite into any surface, the 100% U.S.A.-made device is intended to enhance performance, safety, and allaround enjoyment of the ride.

“BITEHARDER saves the snowmobile enthusiast from the frustration and expense of replacing worn carbide runners,” explains Welch, who came up with the idea of a portable, easy-to-use tool during a Feb-

BITEHARDER Carbide Runner Sharpening Tool offers improved performance and safety – plus significant cost savings for wintersports enthusiasts. (Courtesy photo)

ruary 2012 snowmobile trip in Canada. “Replacement runners can cost upwards of $160 a pair.

Priced at less than $60, BITEHARDER will sharpen your runners 15 or more times before the tool wears out – representing a significant savings!”

BITEHARDER attaches to any corded, cord-

less, or pneumatic style drill that accommodates a ¼-inch shank. “Conveniently sized, portable, and easy to use, BITEHARDER allows snowmobilers to enjoy the trails worry free even when on lengthy trips away from home,” says Welch.

To bring the idea to market, Welch knew he would need to design a cost-effective tool that was both easy to manufacture and simple enough for the snowmobile owner to use without removing the runners from the skis.

Back in the shop after his February 2012 trip, Welch experimented with using a diamond-coated grinding tool to sharpen his used runners.

“I removed them from the skis, mounted my tool in a handheld drill, and after an hour of work declared the operation a success,” Welch says. “As difficult as it was, I had sharpened my runners. On my next trip to Canada, my efforts were immediately realized when I rolled my snowmobile out of the trailer.

The newly sharpened edges seemed to last longer than what I was seeing even from new carbide runners. I could bite harder in the corners and was riding with a greater level of confidence.”

The patented sharpening tool is CNC machined from alloy steel to precise tolerances, with industrial diamonds on its face providing the cutting media to sharpen the carbide runner

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis People are the real treasures of your world, and you value them more than anything material. It doesn’t take big gestures to make this clear. There’s a quiet heroism in your patient, friendly attitude.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You have your eye on an upgrade that will enable you to show up for work in style. This improvement will likely be more expensive than you anticipated, though, so start saving now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

People are searching for a sense of security, but that shouldn’t all fall on you. Staying true to your word is easier if you don’t give your word in the first place. Avoid making promises; it will be better for everyone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s not every day that perfect partnerships come together. That’s why when you sense that an arrangement is going to work well, you should act on it immediately.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Life seems sweeter when affections are reciprocated, but this is not entirely necessary for your happiness. Right now, you’re happy to give and love without worrying about how it will come back.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 21).

This year brings a breakthrough. When you get stuck, you won’t agonize like before. You’ll just take the next small step and break free. Better earnings start immediately. In April, you’ll compete for a new position. May shows you how others live, and you’ll share and make a difference. June and July bring hot dates. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 40, 12, 15 and 18.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a fine line between good use of electronic devices and excessive dependence on them. You’ll draw a healthy boundary for yourself and your family in this regard.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your neighbors will be a topic of interest.

What are they doing in there? Probably nothing as interesting as it seems from the outside. Anyway, it’s more fun to wonder than to ask.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Improvements in your personal life will happen over time. But you can already see the early signs that things are getting better, and you should be very encouraged by that.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You like to make people laugh; it’s one of the ways you experience their love. So surround yourself with those intelligent, lighthearted types who have an obvious sense of humor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Think of the profound impact you’ve already had on your surroundings. You’ve changed the world in many ways without even knowing it. For instance, there are people who wouldn’t know each other at all if it weren’t for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Unfortunately, the solution to one problem is the seed of another problem. Your job is to think further into the future than the people around you and weigh potential consequences against today’s options.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Who completes you? You are wise not to be dependent on one person; it’s not a one-person job. You feel whole when you give your attention to a dozen different interests and relationships.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Feb. 21, the 52nd day of 2013. There are 313 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 21, 1613, Mikhail Romanov, 16, was unanimously chosen by Russia’s national assembly to be czar, beginning a dynasty that would last three centuries.

On this date: In 1513, Pope Julius II, who had commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, died nearly four months after the project was completed.

In 1862, Nathaniel Gordon became the first and only American slave-trader to be executed under the U.S. Piracy Law of 1820 as he was hanged in New York.

In 1885, the Washington Monument was dedicated.

In 1912, the Great Fifth Ward Fire broke out in Houston, Texas; although property losses topped $3 million, no one was killed in the blaze.

In 1916, the World War I Battle of Verdun began in France as German forces attacked; the French were able to prevail after 10 months of fighting.

In 1925, The New Yorker magazine made its debut.

In 1945, during the World War II Battle of Iwo Jima, the escort carrier USS Bismarck Sea was sunk by kamikazes with the loss of 318 men.

In 1947, Edwin H. Land publicly demonstrated his Polaroid Land camera, which could produce a black-and-white photograph in 60 seconds.

In 1965, black Muslim leader and civil rights activist Malcolm X, 39, was shot to death inside the Audubon Ballroom in New York by assassins identified as members of the Nation of Islam.

In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon began his historic visit to China as he and his wife, Pat, arrived in Beijing.

In 1973, Israeli fighter planes shot down Libyan Arab Airlines Flight 114 over the Sinai Desert, killing all but five of the 113 people on board.

In 1986, Larry Wu-tai Chin, the first American found guilty of spying for China, killed himself in his Virginia jail cell.

One year ago: Greeks were torn between relief and foreboding on the news that their country had received a new massive bailout — a $170 billion rescue package created by the 17-nation eurozone, with conditions. Publisher Barney Rosset, 89, who introduced the U.S. to such underground classics as “Tropic of Cancer” and “Lady Chatterley’s Lover,” died in New York.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a senior in high school. I have been dating “Brianna” for 10 months. She graduated last year and attended a community college, but really had no ambition or motivation to be there. We spent last summer together, and I honestly fell head over heels in love with her.

Here’s the problem. I have been accepted to many colleges out of town. It has always been my dream to go away to school. I told Brianna it wouldn’t be fair to either of us to stay together while I am away, but I want us to be together as much as possible until then. Ever since I mentioned this to Brianna, however, things haven’t been the same. We’ve been arguing a lot.

Brianna’s dad left when she was 12, and she’s still crushed by it. She doesn’t get along well with her family and tells me I’m all she has. She says when I go away to school, I’ll be leaving her just like everybody else.

Now I feel nothing but guilt when I think about college. I want us to enjoy our time together as much as possible. I want Brianna to be my date for my senior prom, but I don’t want her to think I’m simply using her. It’s not true. She is the only person I want by my side.

Annie, do you think it’s fair that we’re staying together now even though we’re most likely breaking up when I leave for college? I want the full college experience, and I know a long-distance relationship will be miserable, because Brianna and I argue constantly via text messages when we’re only 10 minutes away. Have I made the right decision? -- College Bound and Confused Dear College Bound: Whether or not to stay together until the end of the summer is up to Brianna, too. If she can handle it, wishing you well, it’s a solid idea, and you can plan to see each other over winter break. But if Brianna feels you are abandoning her, she may try to hold you hostage emotionally,

pressuring you to alter your plans. That will only create hard feelings and resentment all around. Talk to Brianna and ask what she wants to do, but be firm about your future. Good luck.

Dear Annie: Last June, a co-worker committed suicide. The staff and I were extremely devastated. No one saw it coming.

Now, all these months later, two of my best friends at work have decided to get a tribute tattoo in this person’s honor.

These friends were not particularly close to this co-worker, and this is the first death they have personally experienced. I know everyone deals with death in their own way, but they barely knew the co-worker who died. Our entire group of friends thinks this tattoo is a bad idea. We all want to say something, but don’t know what. -- Tattoo Troubles Dear Troubles: We think these two are looking for a way to honor their late co-worker. If you can recommend a better tribute (e.g., working for a suicide prevention hotline, Survivors of Suicide, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, raising funds for suicide awareness), you could suggest it as being more meaningful. But ultimately, how they choose to decorate their bodies is up to them.

Dear Annie: “No Longer Compatible” said she isn’t attracted to her husband because he stopped bathing and has bad breath, a beer belly and sinus issues. Oddly enough, clairvoyance isn’t conferred with the vows. Has she actually told him what she wants from him? He may be relieved that better hygiene can fix the issue.

My second husband wore a size 54 belt. I pretended modesty and wanted the lights out, but really didn’t care to see his body. But he was an excellent lover because his most important organ was his brain. He tried to please and was completely unselfconscious. -- Also Been Married to Buddha

Candlelight stroll returning to Gilford Village in December LRCC’s Jeff Beeman

GILFORD - Gilford’s enormously popular Candlelight Stroll, held last December as part of the town’s bicentennial celebration, will be returning this year to Gilford Village on December 14, 2013, from 5-7 p.m.

Bill and Sally Bickford, co-chairs of Gilford’s Bicentennial Committee, have agreed to return as leaders of the newly-formed Candlelight Stroll Committee. After the event was held last year, the Bickfords received high praise and accolades for the work they, Dee Chitty, and their fellow committee members did to ensure that the Candlelight Stroll was a spectacular finish to Gilford’s celebration of its 200th anniversary.

Hundreds attended the event last year in Gilford Village, which offered numerous events at the library, the community church, and all three of Thompson-Ames Historical Society’s historic buildings. Residents in the village richly decorated their homes for the holiday season, and a number of them opened their homes to the public.

The Candlelight Stroll Committee, consisting of the Bickfords, Dee Chitty, Carol Anderson, and Gilford historical society members, Kathy Lacroix and Diane Mitton, met recently to set the date and the

Help Wanted

time for this year’s stroll. Also decided upon was this year’s theme, “A Country Candlelight Stroll”.

“We received so many compliments from our customers about Gilford’s bicentennial celebration and especially about the Candlelight Stroll,” said Sally Bickford. The Bickfords own and operate Kitchen Cravings, a family-style restaurant located on Route 11 in Gilford.

“The bicentennial was a lot of work for us, and we thought we were done last year,” laughed Bill, “But, there were too many requests for the committee to run the event again this year - so Sally and I rounded up the people who said they would help if we held the stroll.”

The stroll will be a fund raising event for Gilford’s Thompson-Ames Historical Society, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that works to preserve the town’s history as well as the Union Meetinghouse, Mt. Belknap Grange, and the Benjamin Rowe House, all located in Gilford Village.

Volunteers, as well as additional musicians and vocalists are needed to help on the day of the stroll.

For more information about this event or to volunteer, please contact Bill or Sally Bickford at 5280001.

Four ski areas team up to offer White Mountain Superpass for 2013-14 season WATERVILLE VALLEY — Bretton Woods, Cranmore, Cannon Mountain and Waterville Valley ski areas announce the launch of the White Mountain Superpass to go on sale February 23. The pass will be valid any day of the 2013-2014 winter season at all four mountains. There are no blackout date restrictions.

“There has been such great success with our combined 4NH College Pass, we all quickly agreed that offering a season pass to everyone for the same four areas was an exciting proposition,” said Chris Sununu, CEO of Waterville Valley. The 4NH pass includes the same four mountains, but is a college student-only pass and has been offered since 2008.

The new White Mountain Superpass will give skiers and riders access to a combined total of 284 trails, 41 lifts, 1,148 acres and 6,900 vertical feet; and it includes a special “Bring-A-Friend Bonus.”

The bonus enables the pass holder to get a friend $15 off the purchase of a one-day full-priced adult lift ticket. The offer can be used once per day for the purchase of one ticket. Pass holders may also receive a 10 percent discount from select retail outlets at each ski area.

“We think it’s a fantastic value and certainly one of the best combined passes in the East,” said John DeVivo, Cannon Mountain’s general manager. “The Superpass really gives skiers and riders amazing options when it comes to choosing where to take

their next ski trip.”

All four ski areas are located in the White Mountain region of New Hampshire and all offer unique experiences. “From Cranmore’s focus on families to Cannon’s 4,080-foot summit, every ski trip with the White Mountain Superpass can be a new adventure. And we’re all an easy drive from Boston and each other,” offered Cranmore’s general manager, Ben Wilcox.

“On top of getting access to four premier New Hampshire ski areas with this pass, we all offer incredible lodging options to fit every skier’s style and budget, from the Omni Mountain Washington

Hotel to quaint B&Bs, hotels and motels. There’s something for everyone, no matter which ski area people choose to visit,” remarked Chris Ellms, director of ski operations for Bretton Woods.

Skiers and riders are being encouraged to get the pass before June 1, 2013 when prices will increase.

The special early-purchase price for the pass will be $949 for adults (ages 18+), $549 for teens (ages 13-17), and $449 for juniors (ages 6-12). The fourarea White Mountain Superpass goes on sale on February 23, 2013 and can be purchased online at www.WhiteMountainSuperpass.com.
