Parks & Rec Commission decides to allow beer at Muskrats games

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Parks and Recreation Commission last night granted the request of Noah Crane, general manager of the Laconia Muskrats, to sell beer during the 21 home games played at Robbie Mills Field in the 2012 season.

When Crane first made his request last month Commissioner Rodney Roy moved to approve it, but no one seconded it. “It’s done,” said Commissioner George Hawkins, serving as chairman in place of Jeff Pattison, who as a member of the advisory board of the Muskrats had recused himself. Last night Pattison reopened the issue by explaining that because no vote was taken at the earlier meeting, Crane’s request was still before the commission. Then once again he recused himself from the discussion.

Crane told the commission that beer sales were intended to boost revenues. “After two seasons we’ve yet to break even,” he said.

Gunstock charging lion-like into March

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — “We have 45 trails open,” Greg Goddard, general manager of Gunstock Mountain Resort declared yesterday, “and I defy anyone to find a bare spot on one of them. We’ve got great snow and are looking forward to terrific skiing through the month of March,” he continued. “We have no intention of closing before April 1 just as we always do.”

Goddard said that despite the lack of natural snow and seasonal temperatures recent investments in snowmaking equipment and capacity have enabled Gunstock to overcome less than favorable winter weather conditions to offer a full menu of winter recreation — skiing, both downhill and cross-country, snowboarding and tubing — throughout the season.

“We don’t need Mother Nature,” Goddard remarked. “We’re grooming trails overnight

every night,” Goddard said. “It sets up by morning and softens up during the day.

Our skiers have been astounded by the conditions and given us rave reviews.”

Acknowledging that so far attendance may be as much as 25-percent less than last season, Goddard hastened to add that last winter drew a record number of visitors to Gunstock. He noted that schools elsewhere in New England are on vacation this week see GUnsTOCK page 7

Tough candidate forum questions directed only at Lambert & Aichinger

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — While School Board challenger Doug Lambert and Budget Committee challenger Barbara Aichinger verbally danced for their supper at last night’s student-sponsored candidate’s forum, most of the rest of the candidates were given a free pass from the tough questions. see BeeR page 8 The format of the forum was designed to prevent conflict - questions were submitted to the students Fuel Oil OIL & PROPANE CO., INC. who asked them without 10 day cash price* Laconia 524-1421 subject to change revealing the name of

3.79 99**

the person who asked the questions. There were no follow-up questions allowed.

Despite the format or perhaps because of the anonymity it provided, some of the questions were tough ones — most tellingly one person wanted to know how much time Aichinger spends in Gilford and another one wanted to know if Lambert supports all students - including the gay ones.

“I did a stupid thing, I apologized and I paid the price,” he said, referring to his 2009 tirade against the openly gay leader of the state’s Democratic Party on his former blog Gilford Grok.

His rant, for which he did apologize, cost

him his spot on the Budget Committee - he stepped down - his weekly column in the Laconia Daily Sun, and his prominent position on Gilford Grok - a conservative blog he partially ran.

As to the direct question of whether or not he would support all students, Lambert said, “When the mission is education and community, I don’t see how anybody could be discriminated against.

“We’re all God’s children,” he said, adding that, if elected “every child in this building would get his support and protection.”

Aichinger said she travels frequently see GILFORd page 8

Venezuela’s Chavez faces more cancer surgery

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez announced Tuesday that doctors in Cuba found a new lesion in the same place where a cancerous tumor was removed last year and said that he is not deathly ill but will require surgery.

“It is a small lesion of about two centimeters (less than one inch) in diameter, very clearly visible,” Chavez told state television from Barinas, his home state.

The announcement thrust Venezuelan politics into new uncertainty because the socialist leader is seeking re-election this year, hoping to extend his more than 13 years in power with a new sixyear term.

He did not say when or where he would undergo the surgery, other than “in the coming days.” He said he would meet with his inner circle and expected to provide more details after a Wednesday Cabinet meeting.

Chavez, 57, said the operation should be less complicated than what he underwent in Cuba see CHAVEZ page 11

Europe meltdown averted, for now, by Greece bailout BRUSSELS (AP) — The bailout has saved Europe, for now, but it’s unlikely to save Greece.

The 130 billion euro ($172 billion) rescue — agreed to Tuesday after an all-night summit of European ministers — prevented an uncontrolled bankrupcty and calmed investors worried that a Greek default would have started a chain reaction across Europe. But it left key problems unresolved.

Draconian budget cuts could keep Greece

mired in recession after five straight years.

The deal doesn’t directly address the debt problems in other struggling countries in the 17-country zone that uses the euro.

Spending cuts could reduce tax revenue and possibly worsen the government’s finances.

“You can’t shrink your way out of a recession,” said Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington. “What they are doing to Greece really makes no economic sense.”

In Athens, Greeks reacted with a mixture of relief and fear of a dark future.

“I don’t see it with any joy because again we’re being burdened with loans, loans, loans, with no end in sight,” architect Valia Rokou said in the Greek capital.

Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said the agreement managed to prevent imminent catastrophe: “we avoided the nightmare scenario,” he said.

The agreement was the second massive see GREECE page 9

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan will ask Interpol for help in arresting ex-President Pervez Musharraf for his failure to prevent the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the interior minister said Tuesday.

Rehman Malik said the government was seeking Musharraf’s arrest because he allegedly failed to provide adequate security for Bhutto, who was killed in a gun and suicide bomb attack in 2007.

He made the comments in a televised address to lawmakers in Sindh province, Bhutto’s political stronghold.

An Interpol spokeswoman said any eventual request from Pakistan would be “assessed in accordance with our rules and regulations.” The spokeswoman for the Lyon, France-based international police agency was not authorized to be publicly named according to Interpol policy.

Musharraf, a one-time U.S. ally, went

into self-exile in Britain in 2008 after being forced out of the presidency he secured in a 1999 military coup. The current government is being run by Musharraf’s political rivals, and the president is Bhutto’s widower and political heir.

A Pakistani court issued an arrest warrant for Musharraf last year over the allegations.

U.N. nuclear agency reports failed talks toward cooperation from Iran VIENNA (AP) — The U.N. nuclear agency acknowledged its renewed failure Wednesday in trying to probe suspicions that Tehran has worked secretly on atomic arms, in a statement issued shortly after an Iranian general warned of a pre-emptive strike against any nation that threatens Iran.

NYPD monitoring of Muslim students sparks outrage

NEW YORK (AP) — The mayor faced off with the president of Yale University on Tuesday over an effort by the city’s police department to monitor Muslim student groups for any signs that their members harbored terrorist sympathies.

The Associated Press revealed over the weekend that in recent years the New York Police Department has kept close watch on Muslim student associations across the Northeast. The effort included daily tracking of student websites and blogs, monitoring who was speaking to the groups and sending an undercover officer on a whitewater rafting trip with students from the City College of New York.

Yale President Richard Levin was among a number of academics who condemned the effort in a statement Monday, while Rutgers University and leaders of student Muslim groups elsewhere called for investigations into the monitoring.

“I am writing to state, in the strongest possible terms, that police surveillance based on religion, nationality, or peacefully expressed political opinions is antithetical to the values of Yale, the academic community, and the United States,” Levin wrote.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, dismissed those criticisms as baseless.

“I don’t know why keeping the country safe is antithetical to the values of Yale,” he said.

He said it was “ridiculous” to argue that there was anything wrong with officers keeping an eye on websites that are available to the general public.

“Of course we’re going to look at anything that’s publicly available in the public domain,” he said.

“We have an obligation to do so, and it is to protect the very things that let Yale survive.”

Asked by a reporter if he thought it was a “step too far” to send undercover investigators to accompany students on rafting vacations, Bloomberg said: “No. We have to keep this country safe.”

“It’s very cute to go and blame everybody and say we should stay away from anything that smacks of intelligence gathering,” he said. “The job of our law enforcement is to make sure that they prevent things.

And you only do that by being proactive.”

Bloomberg, an independent, added that he believed that police officers had respected people’s privacy and obeyed the law.

The campus monitoring program was part of a broad effort by the NYPD, initiated after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, to try to spot any burgeoning terror cells in the U.S. before they had a chance to act. The NYPD monitoring of college campuses included schools far beyond the city limits.

Police talked with local authorities about professors 300 miles away in upstate Buffalo. The undercover agent who attended the City College rafting trip recorded students’ names and noted in police intelligence files how many times they prayed. Detectives trawled Muslim student websites every day and, although prosee MUSLIMS page 9

Authorities ID mountain man suspect in burglaries SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Authorities on Tuesday identified a man sought for more than five years in dozens of cabin burglaries in the mountains of southern Utah.

In a statement Tuesday evening, the Iron County Sheriff’s Office said tips from the public and forensic evidence have linked Troy James Knapp to the crimes.

Authorities said an arrest warrant has been issued for his capture. The 44-year-old faces multiple counts of burglary and a weapons charge.

The identification of the serial cabin burglar, who has been considered armed and dangerous, was the result of “good old fashioned investigative work along with tips provided by the public,” according to the statement.

It said the suspect had been “forensically linked” to the burglaries, but provided no further details.

But in court documents filed Jan. 27 in Kane County in southern Utah, authorities indicated they matched Knapp’s fingerprints lifted from one cabin to records from a 2000 theft arrest in California.

Last week, Iron County Sheriff’s Detective Jody Edwards said investigators hadn’t made a definite identification but were getting close. However, charges against Knapp were filed in neighboring Kane County about three weeks ago, according to court records.

Edwards has been working the case since 2007.

He didn’t return a telephone call seeking comment on Tuesday evening.

“We believe Mr. Knapp is our guy,” Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Michael Wingert told The Associated Press. “This guy is probably about as true a survivalist as Davy Crockett.”

Knapp has eluded capture for more than five years and is responsible for more than two dozen burglaries across a swath of mountains not far from Zion National Park. He’s roamed 1,000 square miles of rugged wilderness where snow can pile 10 feet deep in winter.

Authorities have said Knapp has been breaking into remote cabins in winter, living in luxury off hot food, alcohol and coffee before stealing provisions and vanishing into the woods with guns and supplies.

“This suspect is known to be armed and could be possibly dangerous if cornered,” the statement released Tuesday said.

Edwards had said last week that investigators were still scouring for clues. He indicated authorities were getting close to solving the case after they got the first pictures of the suspect from a motiontriggered surveillance camera outside a cabin. The photos taken sometime in December showed a sandy-haired man in camouflage on snowshoes, a rifle slung over his shoulder.

Feds used ‘trailer park Mata Hari’ to ensnare white supremacists PHOENIX (AP) — She has been dubbed the “trailer park Mata Hari,” an attractive ex-stripper recruited by the feds to befriend identical twin brothers accused of a white-supremacist bombing and to get them to admit to the crime.

She moved into the same Oklahoma campground, dressed provocatively, used racial slurs and talked like a separatist.

And she won the brothers’ confidence over a fiveyear period in part by sending them racy photos of herself, including a shot from behind of her in a Confederate-flag bikini bottom.

As the trial of the 61-year-old brothers winds down in federal court, defense attorneys are arguing that the government’s conduct was outrageous and that the informant’s actions amounted to sexual entrapment.

During closing arguments Tuesday, prosecutor

Michael Morrissey told the jury that the hiring of the informant, identified in court records as Rebecca “Becca” Williams, was “entirely permissible and necessary” to the investigation of Dennis and Daniel Mahon.

“There was no use of sex to obtain evidence,” he said.

The jury began deliberating whether to convict the brothers, who have pleaded not guilty, after closing statements ended late Tuesday. A verdict is expected by the end of next week.

The brothers are accused of sending a package bomb in 2004 that maimed Don Logan, a black man who was the diversity director for the Phoenix suburb of Scottsdale at the time. Logan, 54, was hospitalized for three days after the bombing and needed four operations on his hand and arm. The see MATA HARI page 10

Is America still God’s country?

The political beliefs of Barack Obama, said Rick Santorum last week, come out of “some phony theology. ... Not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology, but no less a theology.”

Given the opportunity on “Face the Nation” to amend his remarks, Santorum declined the offer and plunged on: “I don’t question the president’s faith. I’ve repeatedly said that I believe the president is a Christian. He says he is a Christian. I am talking about his worldview and the way he approaches problems in this country. ... They’re different than how most people do in America.”

Obama’s surrogates on the Sunday shows charged Santorum with questioning the president’s faith.

Not exactly. What Santorum is saying is that in the struggle for the soul of America, though Obama may profess to be, and may be, a Christian, he is leading the anti-Christian forces of what Pope Benedict XVI has called “radical secularism.”

In Plano, Texas, last week, Santorum was even more explicit: “They (the Obamaites) are taking faith and crushing it. Why? Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights, then what’s left is the French Revolution. ... What’s left in France became the guillotine.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re a long way from that, but if we ... follow the path of President Obama and his overt hostility to faith in America, then we are headed down that road.”

Santorum is saying that where Thomas Jefferson attributed our human equality and our right to life and liberty to a Creator, secularism sees no authority higher than the state. But what the state gives, the state can take away.

The media think Santorum is singing “Onward Christian Soldiers” while heading off into the fever swamps. But Santorum is wagering his political future on his assessment of where we are in 2012. He sees America dividing ever more deeply between those who hold to traditional Christian views on marriage, life and morality, and those who have abandoned such beliefs. He believes that the former remain America’s silent majority, and he is offering himself as their champion against a militant secularism that has lately angered more than just the right.

Last week, Santorum declared that radical environmentalism is also rooted in this same anti-Biblical view of mankind’s purpose here on earth. “I think that a lot of radical environmentalists have it backwards. This idea that man is

here to serve the earth as opposed to husband its resources and be good stewards of the earth. Man is here to use the resources and use them wisely, but man is not here to serve the earth.”

This is straight out of Genesis: “Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Santorum seems to want to steer his primary and general election campaign into a conflict that goes back deep into American history and has surfaced time and again.

An early triumph of secularism came with the Scopes trial in 1923 in Dayton, Tenn. Clarence Darrow, defending a teacher who had violated state law by introducing Darwin’s theory of evolution into the classroom, mocked the Old Testament teachings of the Evangelical Christians, to the merriment of the establishment.

From that day on, Darwinism was taught in our schools, first as theory, then as fact, then as higher truth. With the Darwinian tenet — we evolved, we were not created — established truth in the public schools, secularism set about driving its enemy, Christianity, out completely.

Under the Warren Court in the 1950s and 1960s, it succeeded.

All Christian commandments, holidays, prayers, pageants and plays were gone. Where Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter had declared that America is a Christian nation, Obama has declared, “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation,” but rather a nation of all faiths.

Santorum is undeniably taking an immense gamble here. First, he is wagering that by emphasizing his moral, social and cultural conservatism, he can trump Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital job-creator card.

Second, he is wagering that Obama, with his latest attempt to impose secular values on Catholic institutions, can be portrayed as possessed of an “overt hostility to faith in America.”

Third, he is wagering that he has the rhetorical and political skills to make this case to the nation through the prism of a hostile media.

Fourth, he is betting that these issues are also the concern of a plurality of Americans in a country far different from the one he grew up in.

Finally, Santorum is betting that Americans still believe this is God’s country, that America’s laws see next page

LETTERS Center Harbor municipal government is disproportionately big To the editor, Over the last three years, there has been considerable debate on construction of a new large municipal complex in Center Harbor. At last years’ Town Meeting, opponents of spending millions to expand facilities needed to say little and the project was soundly defeated for a second year in a row.

This year, the Selectboard is once again pursuing a project of similar scale (year three), and, once again, the only way that they will succeed is to have few voters show up to vote, because once again, the project is inappropriate for this town; and the residents and tax payers know it.

Center Harbor is not much larger today than it was a quarter century ago, no school, no interstate, no major public parks, nor any large shopping complexes, the types of items that often drive expenses up for a town. In fact, Center Harbor could be a model to evaluate how government grows disproportionally while a community remains the same.

With a population of just over 1000, Center Harbor can be compared to about a dozen other towns in the state of similar populations, to compare “taxes to be raised”. Looking at the 2010 U.S. Census Data and the taxes to be raised from the N.H. DRA, in this

group, Center Harbor leads the pack in dollars raised, at over $5,000,000 per year. This is nearly a million dollars a year more than the next closest town and almost double the average of similar sized towns.

The one saving grace town residents have, is that each year, there is a chance to effect this by either approving budgets, or not, but once millions in debt and interest are pledge by our tax base, there is no going back. Our children’s, children will be paying the bill and Center Harbor will be just another government that “blew-it” by loading up on debt.

Whether Center Harbor needs more than 10,000-square-feet of municipal space and employees with compensation packages over $100,000 per year has been argued to nausea. The facts are simple and easy to understand, the only real issue is whether voters show up and vote. The March 13th meeting will be a secret ballot, and will need the same voter turn-out as last year to defeat this project. It will be sad to see a low turn out and have those with a vested interest laden this little hamlet with a burden the size of many cities.

So, we will all see each other at Town Meeting, or we will be seeing each other next year at City Hall.

Latest sign of apocalypse: liars hiding behind ‘Freedom of Speech’ To the editor, This country and people in it have been going to hell in a hand basket in recent years. And it keeps getting worse every day, in my humble opinion.

In 1782 George Washington, not yet our first U.S. president, established awards and medals for military heroes and issued severe military punishment for anyone who claimed to have won medals but had not actually done so.

In modern days there have been many people who falsely claimed military awards, so in 2006 a federal law was passed, The Stolen Valor Act, to stop it.

Yeah right! Yet some liar nearly had the U.S. House of Representatives name a U.S. Post Office after him!

Now the U.S. Supreme Court will be hearing an appeal of a Chronic Liar, according to his attorneys, who claimed he was a wounded war veteran and

Medal of Honor winner in violation of the Stolen Valor Act. Why? Because the man has “Freedom of Speech” and he can say whatever he wants to say even if it is a LIE. The lawyer said the man did not hurt anyone by saying he we won a war medal and was wounded so should not be charged with a crime and be made a criminal. Can he tell everyone he is an FBI agent as part of his “Freedom of Speech”?

Are they serious? Lawyers and politicians never cease to amaze me! How many campaign promises have you seen come true in the past four years?

If this argument is true, then should I not be able to sit in a crowded movie theater and say “ FIRE” as part of MY free speech rights ?

What do you think?

LETTERS There has to be a level of respect among school board members To the editor, On February 18, I read with great interest the letter submitted by Ms. Mucci, and I couldn’t agree more with the many important points that she articulated. I appreciated that she expressed her concerns in a thoughtful manner, and that she pointed out the real reason the board is there — our students. I have also been thoroughly impressed with the student representatives who have served on the board.

Inter-Lakes had been truly fortunate to be able to have a student’s perspective and well-spoken input on issues that concern students on a day-to-day basis.

I also agree with Ms. Mucci’s point about the contributions that Ms. Merrill has made to our district. Working with students on the Eco-Challenge was a great success in many ways, and in no way would I consider diminishing the work of any of the many volunteers who make substantial contributions to our schools every day.

In response to the larger question that Ms. Mucci posed about the actual tone of the board, I have to say that I think that it could be improved upon.

School Board members are charged with the task of being able to represent all communities, take in all perspectives, and to make informed decisions. This task is made almost impossible if there is a lack of trust among members. A sense of distrust greatly diminishes the effectiveness

of the board. There has to be a level of professionalism and respect among members so that many different viewpoints can be articulated and considered which leads to better decision making and respect for the process.

This is a belief that I hold true, not just in respect to the board, but also in my own classroom.

During my time on the board the accomplishments that I am most proud of are, that I always took into consideration all sides of the issues, I made difficult decisions that I felt I could stand behind, and I did not approach my position with a sense of ego or personal agenda. I continued my own learning about how to be an effective board member and introduced the idea that the board should consider implementing a self-assessment, because I believe that we all can learn to be more effective.

I look forward to participating in the “Meet the Candidates Forum” hosted at the I-LHS Community Auditorium on February 23. This event begins with candidates from the town of Meredith at 6:30, with candidates running for School Board positions beginning at approximately 7:45.

As always, I am also available for discussion, to hear community member concerns, and to answer any questions at, raalosa@gmail.com.

To the editor, After reading Barbara Aichinger’s highly inaccurate letter to the editor on Friday, I considered letting her statements speak for themselves, however, as my students know so well, I am not able to let things slide.

First of all, as those in this tightknit Gilford community already know, Meg Jenkins is in fact the high school school nurse and Rosanne Sheridan is the middle school nurse.

Secondly, I am not sure that Barbara is aware that our nurses here at Gilford have been here for few many years, 18 years for Meg and not absolutely certain but I am pretty sure Rosanne has been working in the Gilford district since crows could fly.

Barbara so kindly gives us a resource to “compare” salaries of nurses in our state but I am not sure was able to research their years of service.

Thirdly, I am sure Barbara is aware that there are many different kinds of nurses with several expectations of education which often contributes to salary. Both of our nurses in the middle and the high school are not only registered nurses but carry masters degrees. To say that 36.6-percent higher than the average nurse in N.H. is a grossly misleading number.

Fourthly, I would beg to differ incredibly on whether both of these

women do not work nearly as hard as a regular nurse in a hospital. I would love to have Ms. Aichinger come hang out in our nurses office for a day, see how long she would last. Especially the past two weeks with the Nirovirus going on. Our nurses not only deal with runny noses, hygiene, bruised knees, concussions, broken bones, issues with puberty, kids with cancer, diabetics, and life threatening allergies (to name a few) on a DAILY basis but they also are working with the psychosomatic symptoms our students are experiencing due to family difficulties and financial issues brought on by this economy.

I am pretty sure, judging by the fact that Ms. Aichinger has not one but two houses on Governors Island, she has no idea what it is like to see families struggle like they have been. Not to worry Ms. Aichinger, I am sure the voters will not be fooled. It IS about the kids. The people of this community know that. My guess is that the people who read your last letter have lost respect for your “cause” considering most of them have had Ms. Sheridan and Ms. Jenkins as their school nurses and know what they do for the people in this town year round.

I still believe it’s important for men to be part of ‘life’ debate To the editor, In response to Nancy Parsons Saturday letter: you’re still missing the point.

I was not trying to insult you because of you speaking to women’s health. I was trying to point out that your question of “why do men have the right to an opinion on birth control” was ridiculous.

Abortion is a serious topic in which men and women should both ‘have the right to an opinion’.

And two thirds of your letter was spent on how archaic the Catholic Church is with the way they view birth control. That is where I came from with the religion. It’s obvious that you’re not Catholic. I don’t know why you’re criticizing them, for any of their members who feel the same way as you, well, they can quit and go join another form of Christianity or whatever. My point was our government shouldn’t have the right to step in and micro-manage any religion, period.

As to your vasectomy point, perhaps you don’t understand what most prolife people believe, so let me break it down for you. We believe at conception, when the sperm fertilizes the egg, that is when life begins. I reason that because over 90-percent of the world believes in an afterlife of some sort, then a soul is in us at some point right? Now from the start of conception to birth, who am I, or who is anyone really to say when that soul becomes part of that life. Since you can’t know precisely, then life starts at conception in my mind. If you don’t interfere, those cells will be a person. So killing that zygote is killing a person. Keeping that in mind,

a vasectomy means the man is sterile, so therefore there is no conception during sex, and no life has been started. Thus your vasectomy point is moot. Abortion and some forms of birth control deal with killing a zygote once its conceived, and those are the forms that the Catholic Church are against supporting because it goes against their core values.

My point is you’re trying to demonize an organization who values life more than anything. I’m not Catholic, but I can admire their view in today’s world of shrinking values and morals.

I myself almost participated in an abortion, then we decided at the last minute not to go through with it. What I have now is more valuable than anything I could have ever possibly conceived. My daughter has been my salvation, my proudest accomplishment and I love here like words could never explain. I cannot believe that we almost snuffed out her precious life. It is troubling to me that other people do just that because having a baby would make their life more difficult.

I actually agree with a lot of both your letters; it is bothersome that there are no women on the congressional board discussing this, the Catholic Church ways are dated and I wouldn’t be a part of them and Rick Santorum is much too socially conservative for my liking. I do still believe that it is important for men to be part of the debate though, because life is not an issue particular for either sex to decide all alone.

LETTERS Tax/spending caps cannot predict what our future needs will be To the editor, Let’s face it. No one likes to have to pay taxes. We all would like to have more money in our pockets and be free to spend it, well, freely. However, we do live with other people in a pluralistic society that needs to consider the needs of everyone in it. And that is where taxes come in. Taxes pay for our roads (building them, repairing them, plowing them), fire protection (a neighbor’s burning house threatens mine), police protection, public safety and a host of other services that make living in a community good. And yes, taxes also pay for schools.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if costs and needs stayed the same form one year to the next? It would make our personal long-term planning so much easier and predictable. We would never have to vote on a tax bill or school budget because it would be the same every year. Clean. Simple. And I suppose that is why, to some, the idea of a tax cap is so appealing.

But in reality, tax caps are a way of ham-stringing the future. Will a hurricane or a flood destroy a road or a bridge? Will the roof collapse or leak after an especially heavy snowfall? Will school enrollment spike? Will the cost of heating oil or electricity go up? Will there be an outbreak of an especially virulent flu? Any of these, and many others, can have serious financial impli-

cations for the town and for the school.

And what kind of school do we want?

For many of us of a certain age, schools were rather plain affairs. “Audio-visual aids” and “technology” might have meant a film strip once a month. Today, advances in technology require that all students are proficient in a host of skills that were unheard of a decade ago.

And our schools have had to meet the challenge. Computers today are what textbooks were a generation ago-only much more expensive to update, repair or replace. Yet that literacy is just as important as the “three R’s”. Will those costs go down? Stay the same? What other new, necessary technology will we have to respond to in the next ten years? How does a tax cap deal with the reality of necessary spending?

Okay. I concede that “necessary spending” might be open to interpretation and debate. So let’s have the debate when the time comes. Let’s not start with an artificial spending cap that cannot predict what our needs will be and what we might want to, as a town and a society, dedicate our resources to. Let’s not tie our hands.

I urge everyone to vote against a tax cap. Please, on March 13, vote NO on Articles 6, 7, 8 and 9 on the School District ballot. And vote NO on a tax cap for the town budget.

Alton Water Commission is doing just fine with three members To the editor, Why the need for five Water Commissioners in Alton?

The selectmen placed a warrant article on the 2011 ballot, to increase the Water Commissioners from three to five members; this article was approved by the voters in 2011 election. The selectmen never consulted the Water Commissioners, at the time, as to their reason for going from three to five.

In the past years the Water Commissioners have been able to erase a $30K deficit and hold the line on the budget as well.

In the past 12 years I have been on the Water Commissioners Board I only recall one time that the meeting was canceled for lack of a quorum.

The selectmen in public input when answering the question, “Why five?”, .indicated the Water Commissioners were not frugal in their purchases for the Water Department, because the Water Commissioners had approved the purchase of a remote start for our new pick up and a pair of deerskin work gloves.

My reasoning for approval of the purchase of the remote start was more safety than convenience. The remote start allows the vehicle to be started and left running with no keys in the vehicle. The vehicle will only run for 15 to 20 minutes when started with the remote start. I have on several occasions

witnessed the town vehicles running for extended time with keys in the vehicle.

On one occasion the town vehicle ran for 3 ½ to 4 hours, while on another occasion the vehicle was left running with the driver’s door wide open for a period of 15 to 20 minutes. In neither case was it a police vehicle on detail.

I look at the remote start as a security device because no keys are in the vehicle and if the vehicle is entered and brake or gas pedals are depressed the vehicle shuts off. I look at it similar to a cut off switch in a police vehicle.

It sure doesn’t make a lot of sense to leave an unattended vehicle running for any length of time; it sure wastes gas, and invites unauthorized use.

As for the work gloves, it seems better to purchase one good pair of gloves that usually last a year than purchasing 10 or 12 cheap ones in a year.

The total purchase price of these two extravagant purchases was a total of $415, remote start for $400.00 and $15 for work gloves.

The addition of two Water Commissioners will far exceed this amount for years to come.

I encourage the voters of Alton to vote Yes on Warrant Article # 48, which will help the Water Commissioners hold the line on the budget.

GUNSTOCK from page one and their counterparts in New Hampshire will be closed next week.

“Things have picked up the last ten or twelve days and this week has started very strong,” he said. “The tubing hill is selling out. We expect the momentum will carry over into next week and beyond into March.”

Goddard conceded that some natural snowfall to serve as a reminder of winter would be welcome. “The only thing hurting us is perception,” he remarked.

But, whatever the weather brings, he said that “there is plenty of snow on the slopes and we’ll even make more if necessary to provide terrific skiing conditions for the rest of the season.”

GILFORD from page one for her job as a vice president and engineer for a N.H. owned tech company and spends about seven months a year physically in Gilford.

A resident since 2008, she said her husband is still a legal resident of Bedford, N.H. and the youngest of their three children, the child is a senior, remains in Bedford Public Schools so she could stay with her friends.

“I plan on retiring in Gilford,” she said, allowing that because she was asked the question twice that “it was an issue.”

She also said her residency in Gilford was settled when she fought, successfully, to overturn Gilford’s land use laws on involuntary lot mergers.

“If my residency was an issue, my neighbor who sued me would have gotten it out there,” she said referring to her prolonged court case that was triggered when she tried to build on an abutting lot she owns on Governor’s Island and realized the two lots had been made into one by the town without her knowledge or consent.

She and Lambert both have a history of citizen’s advocacy. With Aichinger’s victory in 2010 when the state law that disallowed involuntary lot mergers was passed by the legislature and became law and Lambert’s N.H. Supreme Court victory regarding the public’s Right-to-Know, both are proven and

effective advocates for what they believe.

Aichinger also fielded one question from Atty.

Peter Millham - the audience knew it was Millham’s question because the student moderator couldn’t read his handwriting and asked him to read it aloud - who wanted to know if she still intended on separating Governor’s Island from Gilford because she testified to the same last year before a legislative subcommittee.

“If you read my testimony...” she began.

“I read it,” Millham replied, providing the only public exchange of words during the event.

“The problem we have is we pay for services we don’t get,” she said, without skipping a beat.

“When we dial 9-1-1, Laconia shows up because we’re so close to the Weirs,” she said. “Maybe we could contract with Laconia (for some of those services). Our own municipality isn’t Plan A.” She also said the people who supported the bill, that would have created a study committee that would allow the island to form its own perfect union (or Plan B as she called it), didn’t have their own municipality as their goal.

“Plan A (the creation of Village Districts within existing municipalities) is why I’m here,” she continued. “Before I stand before the legislature (and ask them for the permission to form their own municisee next page

BEER from page one Collegiate Baseball League with beer concessions, he estimated that beer sales would return between $20,000 and $30,000 in revenue. He said that the additional revenue would make a significant contribution toward closing the gap in the $125,000 operating budget.

Crane said that beer sales would be confined to a pavilion constructed beyond the left field fence where fans would have a good view of the diamond without encroaching on the seating for parents and children in the grandstand. By distancing and segregation the beer concession, he said “we can monitor and manage it,” stressing that the aim was not to let beer sales detract from the family atmosphere at the ballpark.

The pavilion, he continued, presented an opportunity to upgrade the facility and “add permanency” to the franchise. “We don’t want people asking ‘are the Muskrats coming back?’” he said. “And we want to invest the facility we call home.” The franchise would build pavilion for an estimated cost of $50,000 to $60,000 and once complete, it would become the property of city and, when not serving beer, could be used for other concessions at other events.

Referring to conversations with the commissioners, Crane addressed concerns expressed to him by readily agreeing that there would be no advertising of beer at the ballpark and the commissioners would be welcome to review the concession at least annually and more frequently if they wished. Likewise, if the commission felt the need for a police presence, it would be provided at the team’s expense. “We can’t have this reflect badly on the rest of our operations,” Crane said. “We are open to whatever conditions wishes to place on this.”

Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), also a member of the advisory board of the Muskrats and one of four city councilors attending the meeting, told the commissioners that “this team is only going to be here

as long as it is financially viable” and assured them that beer sales would be strictly limited to home dates. “We’re looking to keep them here,” he said.

Ruben Bassett of Burrito Me spoke in support of Crane, telling the commission that his restaurant serves beer without diminishing its attraction to parents with young children. “It’s possible to sell beer and maintain a family atmosphere,” he said. “We do it.”

After speaking against the proposal last month Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4) said “I would go along with the sale of beer at this time. We have to do everything we can to keep the Muskrats here.”

She was echoed by Councilor Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) who said “we should do all we can to them here.”

Roy again moved to approve the request. This time Mitch Hamel seconded the motion and offered an amendment stipulating that there would be no advertising for alcoholic beverages as well as that the commission could reconsider its decision if circumstances warranted and would review the design of the pavilion to be built.

Dave Plourde expressed moral reservations while assuring Crane “it’s nothing personal,” but commissioners Roy, Hamel and Hawkins voted to grant the request.

Afterwards Crane said that he intended to complete the design of the pavilion and submit it to the Planning Board and the commission while seeking the requisite approvals from the municipal licensing board and the New Hampshire State Liquor Commission.

Pleased with the decision, Crane said that he hoped that beer sales would increase attendance as well as revenues. The Muskrats drew an average of 302 fans last summer, less than all but one of the 11 teams in the league, and some 15,000 in the team’s first two seasons. He said that “we want to expand our demographic to include the 21 to 35-year-olds,” noting that beer sales would draw them to the ballpark while doubting they would come to the ballpark simply to drink.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, February 22, 2012— Page 9

GREECE from page 2 bailout of Greece following a €110 billion ($146 billion) rescue in 2010 that didn’t return the country to solvency. It will give Greece €130 billion in loans through 2014 from other eurozone governments and the International Monetary Fund. It was secured after Greece agreed to painful and humiliating measures, including thousands of layoffs of civil service workers and cuts to the minimum wage, imposed by countries suspicious of Greece’s reform efforts after two years of what they called the country’s broken promises.

The finance ministers wrangled until the early morning over the details of the rescue, squeezing last-minute concessions out of private holders of Greek debt who agreed to lose 53.5 percent of the face value of their investment to avoid even more severe losses if Greece fails to pay €14.5 billion in debt due March 20.

The serious risks of the bailout’s failure include the likelihood that Greece’s economy remains in a deep recession instead of returning to growth in 2013 as the deal assumes. That would undermine chances of paying even the reduced debt load, esti-

mated at a still-high 120 percent of annual economic output in 2020, down from 160 percent now.

Additionally, political outrage over the cutbacks could lead Greece politicians to balk at the tough conditions. That could push rescuer countries — led

by Germany — to cut off further funding.

Elections in Greece are expected in April. The leaders of the two main parties have committed to the cuts and reform program, but anti-bailout parties have been gaining in the polls.

Greece’s economy shrank 7 percent in the fourth quarter of last year and unemployment is 19 percent, a consequence of cuts in public wages and increased taxes inflicted during a downturn.

If that keeps up, even the rescuers acknowledge the reduction goal of 120 percent of GDP is long gone.

“The risks are clearly on the downside,” said Diego Iscaro, an economist at IHS Global Insight. “By austerity alone, Greece will not solve the problems it has at the moment. We don’t know when the economy will return to growth and how it will grow.”

Greek politicians nevertheless greeted the package as a turning point for their battered country.

MUSLIMS from page 3 fessors and students had not been accused of any wrongdoing, their names were recorded in reports prepared for police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.

Officers kept tabs on student groups at Yale; Columbia; The University of Pennsylvania; Syracuse; Rutgers; New York University; Clarkson University; the State University of New York campuses in Buffalo, Albany, Stony Brook and Potsdam;

Queens College, Baruch College, Brooklyn College and La Guardia Community College.

An NYPD spokesman, Paul Browne, explained the effort as an attempt to learn more about student organizations that could be ripe for infiltration by terror recruiters. He cited 12 people arrested or convicted on terrorism charges in the United States and abroad who had once been members of Muslim student associations, or MSAs.

unanimously supported full-day kindergarten.

Webber was also asked why he hired the superintendent the day before the vote, he said the Board had said all along that would continue the process for hiring a superintendent and timing of the decision to offer the job to existing Superintendent Kent Hemingway was made because one of the three finalists had been offered another job in another district and it wasn’t fair to leave the three candidates “hanging in the breeze.”

He said the lawyers said it was “advisory only” and the members of both the Gilford and the Gilmanton School Boards was that it “makes no sense to move to a management structure with no one in charge.”

Election Day is March 13. Voters vote at the Gilford Middle School.

There are three candidates for two 3-year seats on the School Board - Webber, Lambert and incumbent Susan Allen.

There are nine candidates for the three -3-year terms on the Budget Committee - incumbents David “Skip” Murphy and Phyllis Corrigan; Eichinger, Richard Grenier, Stuart Savage, Joe Hoffman, Allen Voivod, J. Scott Davis, JoEllen Space and Stuart Savage.

Davis, Voivod and Grenier sent position letters that were read to the public while Space and Hoffman were no shows. A couple of questions were directed to Murphy, who said he remains a fiscal conservative who is dedicated to reducing the size of the government.

He said New Hampshire is a place where government is still small enough so one person can make a difference and that his goal is to keep Gilford’s government small, open and dedicated to serving the public.

from preceding page pality), I want to make sure I did everything I could to keep Governor’s Island in Gilford.”

(The bill was determined to be Inexpedient to Legislate or, in English, it didn’t make it out of one of the legislative committees that considered it.)

For Aichinger, the goal is to lower the town’s tax rate to $15 per $1000 evaluation within three years by cutting spending and making better use of the resources the town already has.

Long range, Aichinger said lowering the tax rate would preserve property values, adding that many elderly people, in the pre-IRA and 401K investment days, bought property as an investment for their retirement.

Lambert said his main goal for both running for School Board and for suing the School Board over it’s decision to hire a superintendent despite two separate votes of the people for a different administrative structure, was because the School Board has a habit of ignoring the people and his desire to “empower the parents.”

Along with the decision to hire a superintendent, Lambert was also asked if he supported full-day kindergarten. He answered that the decision to create a full-day kindergarten after the people voted “no under any circumstances” was another example of how the School Board does what it wants regardless of what the people who elected them want.

Current School Board Chair Kurt Webber - a candidate for reelection - was also asked about the kindergarten decision and he said that after conducting a pilot program that determined the value and learning that it would save the district money, by eliminating a noon-time bus run, the School Board

Laconia schools expect new Health & Wellness Academy component to be operational in fall

By RogeR Amsden LACONIA — Superintendent of Schools Bob Champlin told the School Board last night that the plans for a Health and Wellness Academy are making good progress and that a number of initiatives are being developed which will be spelled out in a work plan which the Laconia SAU is developing in cooperation with the Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health.

The initiative is being developed as a result of federal requirements tied to the $6.5-million in Qualified Zone Academy Bonds that the district qualified for and which is being used to help pay for the renovation and additions to the Huot Regional Technical Education Center at the High School.

Champlin said that a work plan will be developed in March which will be submitted to the State Board of Education for its approval in April and that the school district will roll out the plan with staff in August and begin implementing it in September.

He said that if all works well, the district’s plans will qualify as a 10-percent local match for the $5.4-million in federal funds it is slated to receive in June as part Huot Center project.

He said that a recent workshop with community partners in the project developed four priorities: combating drug abuse, obesity, developing positive school climate strategies and increasing access to health care.

He said that an organizational structure is being developed which will an include an advisory board which will work with the school district and Lisa Morin of the Partnership for Public Health and that a program coordinator will be hired to oversee the multiple initiatives which are planned with more than 20 community partner organizations.

Among those initiatives are some already underway such as immunization clinics and movement breaks in city schools. Others in the works include community emergency response training, emergency preparedness efforts, support for Stand Up for Drug Free Laconia, Family Fun Nights, Sun Safety and an Early Sprouts gardening program.

Champlin also said that some elements of the Health and Wellness Academy project, which is one of the first to be developed in the nation, might qualify for private funding support through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Board member Scott Vachon asked if the academy’s programs would also help address the needs of parents and Champlin said that it would, noting that one of the partners, HealthFirst has a strong focus on families and can work with parents in ways which the school district can’t.

Champlin also said that some of the initiatives could see city-wide application through the Laconia Parks and Recreation Department.

The board also received an update on the Teach Like a Champion program from Laconia Middle School Principal Jim McCollum, who said that since the program was instituted last September disruptions and suspensions are dramatically lower and academic achievement is on the rise.

He said that second semester figures show a continued drop in horseplay, insubordination, classroom disruption and rude and discourteous behavior while academic achievements are holding steady or increasing based on the number of students earning academic honors.

Sixth grade teacher special education teacher Peg Tetreault said that she has taught for 30 years and is impressed with the results she has seen from the Teach Like a Champion program.

“Every now and then something comes along that really makes a difference and this is one of those programs.’’ said Tetreault.

Key elements of the program include having the entire staff at the school committed to specific practices, including hallway supervision between classes and lunches, after school programming and a classroom structure which provides order and predictability for the students.

Other elements include classroom procedures designed to force engagement, encourage reading and having teachers circulate throughout the classroom while instructing have helped increase participation by all students.

MATA HARI from page 3 bombing also wounded a secretary.

Morrissey said the Mahons were believers in “racial terrorism and violence as a way to accomplish their goals.”

The trial, which began Jan. 10, has been filled with drama as Williams took the stand for several days, and Logan himself described the bombing in detail for the jury.

Williams, who is 20 years younger than the Mahons, said agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives recruited her after they worked with her brother, himself an informant, to infiltrate the Hells Angels motorcycle gang.

At the time, Williams testified, she was about to be evicted from her trailer and needed the money. She received a total of $45,000, including expenses, and said she was promised $100,000 upon the Mahons’ conviction.

Replacement for retiring LPD captain likely to come from ranks

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — Police Chief Christopher Adams said yesterday that the person who fills the opening created by the imminent retirement of Capt. Steve Clarke will likely come from the department’s existing employees.

In addition, since Clarke’s replacement would come from the existing supervisory staff, he said it is also likely the promotion of one of his team to captain will create vacancies at lieutenant, sergeant and finally, a patrol officer position.

Adams, who was the operations lieutenant before becoming chief, said the it was only nine months ago the department, under former Chief Michael Moyer, held what he called a “lieutenants board” - or a written and oral examination of the people qualified to take over as senior supervisory staff. In Laconia those ranks are captain and lieutenant.

“The examination was conducted by Moyer but I was allowed to sit in on it,” Adams said yesterday.

“Ultimately, the decision about who will become captain ... will come from that examination.”

He said the names of the officers who participated in last year’s oral and written exams are protected by personnel policy.

The Laconia Police Department is basically divided into three sections - the operations team that handles the day-to-day policing duties of the depart-

ment, the support team that handles the finances, administration and the budget, and the judicial division that handles the prosecutions.

All three department heads, Clarke in operations, Capt. William Clary in support, and Atty. Prosecutor James Sawyer in judiciary, report directly to the chief and the civilian Board of Police Commissioners.

Each captain has a lieutenant and there are five sergeants positions that function as shift supervisors under the operations command. The detectives bureau functions under the operations side although Clary is also the senior detective and supervisor within the bureau. There are six detectives.

“Every March (there) is a sergeants test and the next sergeant will come from those who qualify and who take the test,” Adams said, adding the Laconia Police Department has no lack of qualified officers and detectives to take that test.

As chief, he said he has to pick one of the top three candidates, who are scored on a point system, and then bring all his recommendations to the Police commissioners. He expects the commissioners to make their announcements in April. Clarke’s last day is May 31.

Adams also said he is “very hopeful” that the City Council will allow him to hire for a patrol officer’s position once all the shifting and promoting is finished.

“I am absolutely grateful to the City Council for its constant support of this department,” Adams said.

CHAVEZ from page 2 last June, when doctors removed a tumor from his pelvic region.

From July to September, Chavez received four rounds of chemotherapy, both in Cuba and in Venezuela, and he subsequently said tests showed he was cancer-free.

On Tuesday, Chavez denied rumors that the cancer had spread aggressively even as he said doctors do not know whether the new growth is malignant.

“I completely deny what’s going around that I have metastasis in the liver or I don’t know where, that the cancer has spread all over my body and that I’m already dying,” he said.

He has never specified the cancer’s exact nature or location, and critics have repeatedly accused Chavez of a lack of transparency.

Analyst Cynthia Arnson of the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington said Tuesday’s announcement seriously complicates Chavez’s prospects for re-election on Oct. 7.

“It’s now clear that Chavez’s cancer is far from cured. Chavez’s illness — his ability to campaign as well as to govern — is a major factor in the race. It erodes the aura of invincibility as well as inevitability that Chavez has always tried to create,” she said.

The governing party will also be vexed as it lacks an alternative with Chavez’s charisma and popular following, Arnson said. She predicted “a tight race (will get) even tighter” against opposition candidate Henrique Capriles, a 39-year-old state governor.

Chavez said rumors, including that the cancer has been spreading, prompted him to go public. He had been out of public sight since Friday, not announcing his trip to Cuba.

His government’s handling of unconfirmed reports that he spent the weekend there undergoing medical tests turned out to be ham-fisted. On Monday, repeated attempts by The Associated Press to confirm the reports went unanswered, and Communications Minister Andres Izarra vehemently denied them online.

PAKISTAN from page 2 wants to return to Pakistan to contest what will be bitterly contested elections likely this year, said the government was playing politics over the case.

Musharraf has repeatedly denied any legal responsibility for the killing.

“This is all politics,” he told ARY television station on Tuesday. “It’s just point scoring and nothing else.”

Pakistan may ask Interpol to issue a so-called red notice, the agency’s highest-level alert, equivalent to putting a suspect on its most-wanted list.

Such a notice on Musharraf would alert police in all member countries to heed the Pakistani warrant and arrest Musharraf.

It is unclear whether Malik will go ahead with his threat.

Lake Region Coca-Cola. Gold Sponsor is Gibson Engineering from Norwood, MA, with two Silver Sponsors, Whitcher & Whitcher Construction, Gilford, and LeeLaa Yoga, Springsboro, OH.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is easy to tell where you stand on an issue, because you have no problem communicating your true feelings. This could lead you to a dicey social situation today. It’s safest to avoid discussing religion and politics.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To avoid realms that are novel but unnecessary, silly but useless, delightful but trifling, you’ll have to reel yourself in.

But should you? Great joy is likely to come from what’s unnecessary, useless and trifling.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You love a challenge. Your desire to overcome the odds may indeed be the secret to your success. Just be sure you’re really choosing worthy challenges instead of making ordinary things harder than they have to be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There are powerful indications that good fortune and continued blessings will come from a partner, especially if your partner happens to be peaceful, companionable and considerate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your social mojo is dialed up. You’ll somehow avoid the quills of spiky personalities, warm up the cold ones and break through to the distant ones. You’ll bridge gaps and bring people together.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 22).

You’ll be more direct than ever when it comes to getting what you want. It’s as though you’ve been circling around a prospect for years, and now you’ll finally home in on it. Your talent for attracting helpful people and funding is highlighted in March, July and November. April brings an important union.

Taurus and Aquarius people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 48, 20, 14 and 16.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even though you’ll find a prospect intimidating, you’ll take the initiative to connect and go forward. It starts with a handshake. You’ll turn strangers into friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Drug companies are careful to point out (usually with a fast-talking announcer) that medication may have side effects.

You’ll see other instances in which socalled solutions may bring with them a host of other problems.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s a day of small but meaningful wins, the kind you will be able to build on in the near future. Set your sights on an interesting goal that you can achieve with what you have and know right now.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s one thing to be humble; it’s quite another to devalue your achievements. Speak up, especially since there are those around you who will take credit for just about anything, including whatever you don’t take credit for.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Too many things in life are uncontrollable, so we develop habits to keep us in the comfortable rhythm of a pattern that we can more or less predict. Your rhythm may be thrown this morning, but a habit gets you right back in the groove.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may want something that you know, intellectually, does not make a lick of sense for your life. Somehow that knowledge doesn’t squelch your desire. Would it harm anyone to let yourself have the fantasy for now?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are constantly thinking of new ideas, ruminating on your next creation and reconfiguring the various ingredients of your life into a novel recipe. Your spirit of innovation makes this day delicious!

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, February 22, 2012— Page 15

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Ash Wednesday, Feb. 22, the 53rd day of 2012. There are 313 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 22, 1732 (New Style date), the first president of the United States, George Washington, was born in Westmoreland County in the Virginia Colony.

On this date: In 1784, a U.S. merchant ship, the Empress of China, left New York for the Far East to trade goods with China.

In 1862, Jefferson Davis, already the provisional president of the Confederacy, was inaugurated for a six-year term following his election in November 1861.

In 1865, Tennessee adopted a new constitution which included the abolition of slavery.

In 1909, the Great White Fleet, a naval task force sent on a round-the-world voyage by President Theodore Roosevelt, returned after more than a year at sea.

In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge delivered the first radio broadcast from the White House as he addressed the country over 42 stations.

In 1935, it became illegal for airplanes to fly over the White House.

In 1940, the 14th Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso) was enthroned at age 4 in Lhasa, Tibet.

In 1959, the inaugural Daytona 500 race was held; although Johnny Beauchamp was initially declared the winner, the victory was later awarded to Lee Petty.

In 1967, more than 25,000 U.S. and South Vietnamese troops launched Operation Junction City, aimed at smashing a Vietcong stronghold near the Cambodian border. (Although the communists were driven out, they later returned.)

In 1973, the United States and China agreed to establish liaison offices.

In 1980, the “Miracle on Ice” took place in Lake Placid, N.Y., as the United States Olympic hockey team upset the Soviets, 4-3. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.)

In 1987, pop artist Andy Warhol died at a New York City hospital at age 58; talk-show host David Susskind was found dead in his Manhattan hotel suite; he was 66.

One year ago: A magnitude-6.1 earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, killed 184 people.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband and I were both widowed before meeting. We are now 70 and have been happily married for six years. We both have grown children.

Everything is good in our blended family except for my son’s wife. “Stacy” has been a thorn in my side from the day they married 20 years ago. My former husband and I always managed to keep her quick temper under control. But since he died and I remarried, she’s gone completely overboard.

She has stopped my son from having any contact with our family, including his brothers and me.

Stacy has been unable to hold down a job because she can’t get along with others. She’s judgmental, critical and shorttempered. She is often jealous and has many unresolved issues from her childhood. She is keeping us away from her family, and none of us has seen my grandsons in three years.

She says we aren’t trustworthy, but that isn’t true. We are not deceitful in any way, and our word is good.

The rest of the family continues to get together without my son and daughter-in-law, but we miss them very much.

Our blended family is kind and loving toward one another.

But those two grandsons don’t know us, and it looks like that won’t change anytime soon. My son is overwhelmed with Stacy’s control issues, so he just goes along with whatever she wants.

Cards, letters, phone calls and emails go unanswered. Do you have any suggestions? -- Grandma with a Broken Heart Dear Grandma: We are so sorry that your son and his wife have chosen to exclude themselves from a loving family.

Without your son’s insistence, it is unlikely Stacy will come around. We understand that he is reluctant to rock the boat and possibly damage his marriage, but he shouldn’t be isolated from his family in order to placate his wife. It is a form of emotional abuse.

Please continue to send cards, letters and emails without expecting replies. You never know what gets through. Depending on your state, you also could sue for visitation privileges if you so choose. A lawyer with expertise in grandparents’ rights can help you.

Dear Annie: My father’s secretary of many years smokes a pack of cigarettes every day in her office. The ceilings are low, and the ventilation is poor. The secondhand smoke is detrimental to my father’s health, which is already compromised by other medical conditions.

My siblings and I have asked her many times to try to get help for her addiction, and to smoke outside or on the office balcony. Do we have to let her do as she pleases, even though it hurts to see Dad breathing in her fumes? -- Montreal Fan Dear Montreal: We have to wonder whether this secretary harbors some hostility toward Dad. Nonetheless, your father is the one who needs to speak up, and apparently, he is unwilling. So put in some fans, smokeless ashtrays and other helpful devices that will minimize the damage.

Dear Annie: I was bothered by the letter from “New Yorker,” who volunteers at a nonprofit that provides homework help to neighborhood school kids.

Her assumption that many newer families are “stable and affluent” could be wrong. We have friends and family who are struggling, yet they try to maintain a proud face. This after-school program might be the saving grace for a woman working two jobs.

Barnstead artist’s work exhibited at Busiel Mill Lakes Region residents

LACONIA — The Busiel Community Room and Gallery located at One Mill Plaza in Downtown Laconia is hosing an exhibition of works by artist Diane Norton.

Norton began her painting career after retiring to Barnstead from Stow, Massachusetts. Her acrylic paintings cover a wide range of subjects, which include nature, still life, landscape and seascape studies.

“I had an interest in painting all my life but finally started taking art lessons when I retired,” said Norton. “I have enjoyed learning new techniques in the Monday morning, Alton Senior Center ‘Art To You Workshops’ created by Laconia artist, Larry Frates.

“These workshops were started three years ago to support the idea that art is ageless and is a perfect opportunity for life long learning,” says Frates.

This is Norton’s first solo show and the over 20 pieces represent her ability to experiment and apply her newly found knowledge to her creations. Visitors will experience a gentle application of color that tells a story about life’s positive attributes.

invited to get involved with Better Together

“New Hampshire Winter”is one of Diane Norton’s acrylic paintings on exhibit at the Busiel Community Room and Gallery located at One Mill Plaza in Downtown Laconia during the months of February and March. Her solo show includes a wide range of subjects.

This month the following action teams will be represented: Mentoring, Got Lunch, New Americans, Welcome Baby, Stand Up 4 Drug Free Laconia, Local Events and Activities. Attendees are welcome to participate in any of these teams or bring their own ideas and interests to form a team of their own.

Better Together meets regularly on the fourth Thursday of every month at 4 p.m. at the Laconia Middle School. Newcomer orientation is held from 4-4:15 p.m. For more information visit: www.
