Gilford chief blasts state for slow response to dangerous road condition

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Police Chief Kevin Keenan told selectmen on Wednesday that he was very disappointed after the state transportation department took 90 minutes to get to a main town highway that was the scene of a six-car pileup because of poor road conditions.

Keenan told selectmen that one Tuesday just after 9 p.m. six separate vehicles had skidded into each see GILFOrd page 10

Council to weigh raising trash fees at special Monday meeting

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The City Council will consider measures, including adjusting tipping fees at the transfer station and setting container limits for curbside collection, to reduce the cost of handling solid waste, at a special meeting on Monday, Feb. 27, beginning at 6

p.m. before the regularly scheduled meeting at 7 p.m.

Currently tipping fees range from $5 for loads less than one ton, to $10 for loads between one and two tons and to $30 a ton for loads of more than two tons. But, the city pays Waste Management $16.60 to truck the trash to Penacook and the Concord Regional Solid Waste

Resource/Recovery Cooperative $66.80 a ton to dispose of it at the incinerator for a total cost of $83.40 a ton.

The council will consider a proposal to increase the fees in two increments. The fee for loads of up to 100 pounds, approximately the equvalent of five bags of household trash, would be $5. Beginning on July

1, 2012 loads of more than 100 pounds would cost 3.5 cents a pound, or $60 a ton, calculated in increments of 20 pounds to match the calibration of the scale. On July 1, 2013 the rate for loads of more than 100 pounds would rise to 4.5 cents a pound or $90 a ton.

LACONIA — It was such an unusual idea as to seem crazy: a club featuring weekly, week-night performances of serious jazz musicians traveling from Boston and New York to play in a Laconia room that was most recently an antique store.

But while doubters doubted, Jonathan Lorentz pursued his vision. And he’s been rewarded with a response more robust than

Lorentz, a saxophonist who was working throughout New York and New England before life circumstances had him relocate to Gilmanton, knew that he had the contacts, the e-mails and phone numbers of musicians he could ask, as a personal favor, to play a role in his experiment. He got them to agree because what he was creating was a rarity, even for musicians playing the New York City and Boston jazz clubs.

Nike sneaker with outer space theme causes frenzy

(AP) — Sneaker fanatics who lined up outside stores overnight got their first crack Friday at a new outerspace themed Nike basketball shoe, getting so unruly in some cities that police were called to restore order.

In Orlando, Fla., more than 100 deputies in riot gear quelled a crowd awaiting the release of the $220 Foamposite Galaxy. In at a mall in Hyattsville, Md., one person was arrested for disorderly conduct. And in Greenwood, Ind., police said they canceled a Nike release after 400600 people showed up Thursday night at a mall and were “panicking to get to the front of the line.” The shoe’s release coincides with this weekend’s NBA AllStar Game in Orlando.

The shoes, part of a space-themed collection, are a draw for socalled “sneakerheads” who collect signature sports footgear and can resell it online at a marked-up price, sometimes for hundreds more than retail.

Malls in Florida, New York and Maryland reported bringing see NIKE page 20

Stocks hit highest point since June 2008 NEW YORK (AP) — A two-point gain was enough to push the Standard & Poor’s 500 index to its highest level since June 2008, three months before the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the darkest days of the financial crisis.

The S&P 500 index closed at 1,365.74, beating its 2011 closing high by two points.

For the second day this week, the Dow Jones industrial average nudged above 13,000 then pulled back. It rose 29 points

in the morning but wavered in the afternoon. The Dow dropped 1.74 points to close at 12,982.95. American Express was the leading stock among the 30 that make up the average, gaining 1.2 percent.

It was a similar story on Tuesday, when the Dow flitted above 13,000 three times but ended the day lower. The average hasn’t closed above 13,000 since May 19, 2008.

What will it take for the Dow to close above 13,000 and stay there? Mark

Lamkin, CEO of Lamkin Wealth Management in Louisville, Ky., said it would require a surprising news event, like a huge merger or an economic report that blows past expectations.

“It needs some type of surprise, a bombshell,” Lamkin said. “We’ve had a pretty good run over the past four months. Now it’s going to take something great to keep it above 13,000.” see STOCKS page 11

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A 17-ton haul of silver coins, lost for two centuries in the wreck of a sunken Spanish galleon, began its journey back to its home country on Friday after the deep-sea explorers who lifted it to the surface lost their claim to ownership.

Two Spanish military C-130 cargo planes took off after noon from a Florida Air Force base with 594,000 silver coins and other

artifacts aboard. They were packed into the same white plastic buckets in which they were brought to the U.S. by Tampa, Fla.-based Odyssey Marine Exploration in May 2007.

“These are emotional and moving moments for me and all my colleagues behind me,” Spain’s ambassador to the United States, Jorge Dezcallar de Mazar, said Friday. He stood on the windy tarmac

at MacDill Air Force base, flanked by an entourage of more than two dozen Spanish officials and others.

“History will make us who we are, and today we are witnessing a journey that started 200 years ago,” he said. “This is not money. This is historical heritage.”

The planes were expected to make two refueling stops and land about 24 hours see TREASURE page 8

Clinton labels Russia & China ‘despicable’ for opposition to Syria mission TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton blasted Russia and China as “despicable” for opposing U.N. action aimed at stopping the bloodshed in Syria, and more than 60 nations began planning a civilian peacekeeping mission to deploy after the Damascus regime halts its crackdown on the opposition.

In his most forceful words to date on the

Syrian crisis, President Barack Obama said the U.S. and its allies would use “every tool available” to end the bloodshed by the government of President Bashar Assad.

“It is time to stop the killing of Syrian citizens by their own government,” Obama said in Washington, adding that it “absolutely imperative for the international community to rally and send a clear message to Presi-

Alabama girl who was run to death had short life full of turmoil ATTALLA, Ala. (AP) — Savannah Hardin’s life was in turmoil long before police say the 9-year-old was run to death by her grandmother and stepmother for allegedly lying about some candy she ate.

Divorce and custody documents filed in family court over a period of several years reflect a history of fractured family relationships, with Savannah’s divorced parents fighting over her welfare; claims of mental instability and abuse between her father and his second wife; medical problems that required frequent doctor visits; and counseling for the girl who still somehow managed to remain among the top students in her third-grade class.

Authorities say Savannah’s life ended in exhaustion earlier this month when she was forced by her paternal grandmother, Joyce Hardin Gerrard, to run for three hours, while her stepmother, Jessica Mae Hardin, did nothing to stop it.

The grandmother prodded her along cruelly, and the stepmother didn’t intervene until Savannah collapsed in an unconscious heap, investigators say.

Now, Hardin Garrard is in jail and Savannah’s stepmother is being held in police custody at a hospital after giving birth to another child. Both have been charged with murder.

Jessica Mae Hardin’s attorneys, Morgan Cunningham and Vince Pentecost, said in a statement Friday that Hardin was “incredibly devastated over Savannah’s death” and they would prove her innocence.

“Unfortunately, whenever a child passes away, our society wants to place blame, our media wants to sensationalize and our elected officials want to make grandiose statements that are not based in fact,” they said.

A defense lawyer representing the grandmother said she will be cleared of any crime.

“Even then, Joyce Garrard and her family will continue to grieve over the loss of their beloved Savannah,” Dani Bone said.

Neighbors and classmates created a small memorial for Savannah, depositing stuffed animals and flowers and attaching balloons to a wooden fence surrounding the trailer where she lived with her family off a dirt road. Included in the informal memorial was a white wooden cross hung with a blue ribbon and to which a poem had been attached. A neighbor of Savannah’s family, Gail Denny, held back tears as she placed a

from preceding page Assad and his allies into accepting demands for a democratic transition, even as they are still unwilling to commit to military intervention.

While the Tunisia conference offered nothing other than the threat of increasing isolation and sanctions to compel compliance from Assad, Clinton went on to predict a military coup inside Syria of the kind that ended the old regimes in Egypt and Tunisia.

“We saw this happen in other settings last year, I think it is going to happen in Syria,” she told reporters at the end of the meeting. “We also know from many sources that there are people around Assad who are beginning to hedge their bets — they didn’t sign up to slaughter people.”

Loudon man indicted for reckless conduct in shooting that injured wife CONCORD (AP) — A grand jury has indicted a New Hampshire man on charges of shooting his wife in the stomach and legs through the wall of their bedroom while cleaning his gun.

Forty-five-year-old Mark Hillson of Loudon is scheduled to be arraigned March 13 on charges of reckless conduct and simple assault.

The Concord Monitor reports Hillson removed a 9 mm handgun from a safe and wiped it down on Nov. 13, 2011. The weapon discharged twice and the bullets hit Gina Hillson, who had a phone in her hands at the time and called 911.

candle and a stuffed animal at the site Wednesday. She noted that on Valentine’s Day, her grandson had asked Savannah to be his girlfriend, and she said yes.

“I just can’t believe it,” she said of Savannah’s death.

A few miles away at Carlisle Elementary School, students placed written letters and hand-drawn pictures on Savannah’s desk, which was brought into a main hallway.

“Savannah was an excellent student, earning A’s and B’s in her school work,” said a statement released by school Principal Linda Johnson. Many who knew Savannah described her as normal and happy. She played and laughed with other kids at the bus stop, and sometimes rode a four-wheeler with her dad when he visited, they said. She loved horses and her favorite colors were lime green, hot pink and ocean blue, Johnson said in her statement.

Court documents filed by Savannah’s father, Robert Hardin, last May show she attended counseling sessions every other week but seemed well adjusted.

But the records also tell a different story, that of a brief life rocked by tumult.

Robert and Savannah’s biological mother, Heather Hardin, divorced in July 2006 when she was 3, the records show. The former couple shared custody of the girl, but the mother was her primary caregiver.

Each one of the parents later moved separately to Florida, according to a sworn statement by Robert Hardin. He claimed that Heather Hardin was unfit to care for Savannah.

The Florida Department of Children and Families investigated allegations that Savannah was being mistreated or was living in hazardous conditions at least four times between 2007 and 2009 while living with Heather Hardin in Plant City, Fla., according to documents obtained by The Ledger in Lakeland, Fla., through an open records request. But state officials were unable to find evidence to support the allegations.

Robert Hardin said Savannah began living with him in October 2009. He said they moved northeast of Birmingham in January 2010. Hardin later married Jessica Mae, with whom he had a son, now 3.

Hardin works for the U.S. State Department and lived outside the country, so Jessica Mae and Joyce Hardin Garrard cared for both Savannah and the boy, said a spokeswoman for the Etowah County Sheriff’s office, Natalie Barton. Hardin and Jessica split in July 2010, court documents show, with him claiming she had bipolar disorder and alcoholic tendencies. She, in turn, accused him of mental and physical abuse, including pushing her against a

wall and throwing her onto a sofa. She also accused him of transferring ownership of the mobile home to Hardin Gerrard to prevent Jessica from getting it in the divorce. Despite claiming they could no longer live together, the couple reconciled by late 2010.

Court documents also show Savannah had an unspecified medical condition that required continuous medication and treatment, including monthly visits with her regular doctor and trips every few months to see a urologist in Birmingham, about 60 miles away.

Authorities say the grandmother became angry when Savannah allegedly ate chocolate, because it contains caffeine, and the girl was not supposed to ingest caffeine given her condition.

Sometime during the afternoon of Feb. 17, Joyce Hardin Gerrard allegedly forced Savannah to begin running in the yard outside their trailer. Barton said the grandmother was running the little girl “like a drill sergeant,” pushing her to keep running by saying things like “Move it, move it, move it! Go, go, go!”

Barton said there is some evidence that the girl also was picking up sticks and other items in the yard and placing them in a burn pile. A large pile of unburned sticks and other items could be seen Friday behind the family’s mobile home.

The stepmother, Jessica Mae Hardin, didn’t intervene and call 911 until after the girl collapsed about three hours into her ordeal, Barton said. Savannah was taken to an area hospital and then later transferred to a hospital in Birmingham, where she was put on life support. Her father made the decision to disconnect her, and she died Monday.

While court documents show the girl’s biological mother, Heather Hardin, hadn’t been able to see her in months, an ex-husband said the woman rushed to Alabama from Florida in time to see Savannah in the hospital before she died. Authorities said an autopsy showed the child was severely dehydrated and had an extremely low level of sodium, which is necessary for the body to prevent seizures and dehydration.

LETTERS How dare anyone question the Gilmanton School Board To the editor, This is in response to the letter written by Ella Jo Regan on Feb. 221 indicating that “an apology is due”.

While I did not author any of the letters that Ms. Regan refers to, I do agree with the position taken by those writing the letters.

The law is as interpreted by individuals in a court of law. Two different attorneys can interpret a law in two different ways, that is why a judge is there to determine whose interpretation is correct. So, just as there are differing opinions in a court of law, so can there be differing opinions by different individuals. Perhaps, the School Board needs a different lawyer – or – perhaps they don’t. Just because there are different interpretations does not indicate anybody owes anybody an “apology”. It would seem that if the School Board consulted the attorney before sending the letters it might just indicate that they themselves knew that they were walking a very close edge to the law of electioneering as it is written.

Here is the section as written in the RSA’s of NH: 659:44-a Electioneering by Public Employees. – No public employee, as defined in RSA 273-A:1, IX, shall electioneer while in the performance of his or her official duties or use government property, including, but not limited to, telephones, facsimile machines, vehicles, and computers, for electioneering. For the purposes of this section, “electioneer’’ means to act in any way specifically designed to influence the vote of a voter on any question or office. Any person who vio-

lates this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

Ms. Regan in her letter also lectures the authors of the “hostile” letters that each School Board member has the rights of “free speech” as an individual citizen. Well, I would say that this can be applied to those that wrote the letters as well.

Bottom line, this is a typical example of the condescending attitude that is demonstrated to the public when they question the ethics or leadership of those elected to represent them on our School Board. How dare they question anything! Perhaps, as Ms. Regan also points out, the lack of anyone wanting to participate in the “solution” might just be an indication of how “sick” the current governing body is.

I don’t know of anyone that would want to put themselves in a position of compromising their morals to go with the gang mentality that exists today. Why would anyone in their right mind put themselves in that position! You can pick up on this attitude when you read the statement “Most have not been worthy of a response”. I would caution you, Ms. Regan, that any taxpayer is “worthy” of a response as they are the ones footing the bill for this nonsense.

So, while I do agree that perhaps interpretation may be at issue here, I do not believe anyone owes anyone an apology as opinions are many — we all have them. That is what “free speech” is all about!

America is divided between the dependent & the independent To the editor, We have grown accustomed to getting crumbs from Washington for so long that we have not realized the bread was confiscated from the states and its people. Along with tidbits have come serious control over our lives. We are no longer the free people as our grandparents were.

The Executive Branch has turned into dictators. Bureaucrats have become task masters, turning every aspect of our lives into special privileges giving out by the state.

Executive orders from presidents have become dictates that violate the very law of the land. There is no constitutional authority for a president to order the stopping of any construction within a state nor order anyone to buy anything or they will be fined. Each state is sovereign. The State Department has less authority to trifle with state affairs.

“There is nothing more frightening than active ignorance” — Goethe Where are the statesmen who speak for the rights of the unborn? Who will stand against the bondage of debt incurred upon our great grandchildren? Where are those who will speak up when judges rule against the Constitution? And presidents’ dictate.

And Washington continues to enlarge its control over more land. And greed has permeated throughout their halls.

America is divided between the dependent and the independent.

Unless we become more self reliant and distance our selves from Washington’s power grab, we will become increasingly more enslaved to an ideology foreign to our founding principles. And we will cease to have the ability to think for ourselves. Group think will emanate from Washington.

It will be the seat of authority where the U.N. will establish everything from health care to education to what we will do for work.

It’s a slippery slope to Marxism. We may awaken someday to find that much of the legislation that has been rushed through Congress under the guise of protecting and taking care of us was originally intended to control and monitor us. We should be very concerned when government fears its people.

Less we become like Hitler’s Germany, where the Gestapo watched every move of the people. Or the KGB, who kept a close watch on the people, keeping them restrained in hopes they would not escape.

Washington has become the source of our problems not the answer. A continuation of liberalism will only enhance the dilemma. Adopting unsound practices give rise to more of the same. It is silly to think other wise.

LETTERS Center Harbor government is certainly not growing uncontrollably To the editor, As Town Meeting approaches, I believe that Center Harbor residents will support the dozens of their fellow citizens, neighbors, and friends who have spent the past several years developing a responsible, cost-effective plan to deal with the space needs of our town’s government. This plan is a carefully-vetted solution informed by considerable input from the community and countless hours of service by volunteers.

In recent letters to the newspaper, opponents of the plan have alleged that Center Harbor’s town government, and therefore our property tax bills, have grown too much in recent years. The allegation that Center Harbor’s town government is growing uncontrollably is entirely unfounded, and dramatically mischaracterizes the underlying facts.

Center Harbor’s overall tax rate includes four components: the municipal portion, the local education portion, the state education portion and the county portion. Center Harbor’s town budget impacts only one of those four components: the local portion.

The municipality does not control the budgets that impact the local education, state education and county portions of the tax rate. And it’s those portions, not the local portion, that have increased in recent years.

In fact, the local portion of the tax rate – again, the ONLY one that the town budget impacts – went DOWN

between 2006 and 2011! I am proud to have served as your selectman during a time in which our responsible budgeting controlled the local portion of the property tax rate so effectively.

Voters should also consider that their individual tax bills depend largely on the assessed value of their homes.

One writer described a “whopping” increase in his tax bill between 2006 and 2011 and implied that growth in town government is to blame. In reality, the assessed value of the writer’s home more than doubled during the time frame in question. Just like in every other town in New Hampshire, when your property value goes up, your property taxes go up too. There are procedures available to Center Harbor residents who believe their homes have been assessed too high.

Our town’s space needs are real and important. The effectiveness and efficiency of our local government will improve with the proposed renovation and additions to the municipal building. If we put off these problems now, they’re not going to go away – they’re just going to get more expensive to fix in the future.

When you cast your vote at Town Meeting, I hope you will consider the above information, which is based in fact rather than misinformation. The many citizens who have contributed to the development of the space needs plan are counting on your support.

Your neighbors are making a difference mentoring LHS students To the editor, After many volunteer planning hours and due to 18 incredible community members willing to give an hour each week to a young person, Laconia Middle School now has a mentor program which is servicing 16 students this year. The need is such that we hope to at least double this number next year.

Our eventual goal is to connect mentors with students in elementary school and continuously support them right through high school. We are seeking financial resources to hire a part-time person to coordinate and expand this program next year.

A lot of people bemoan the current

state of affairs and talk about change, but here is a group of people actually doing something to impact lives proactively. I want to thank all the volunteers who helped this program come to be; especially Ginny Babcock and our wonderful mentors: Marge Wilkinson, Patricia Marten, Leanne Andrew, Jean Lavin Ferreira, Dorothy Steuer, Norm Soucy, Rob Richardson, Matt Tetreault, May Stewart, Ev McLaughlin, Bill Gile, Marilyn and David Lynch, Millie Vinleuven, Phil Woodbury, and Jean Coburn.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, February 25, 2012 — Page 5

LETTERS Budget brouhahas concerning Laconia government are unending To the editor, The “Approved Budget (FY 2012)” found on the City of Laconia website is misleading. First, the budget is not on a calendar year, it operates on the optional year (FY July 2011/June 2012). Second, the “Budget” lists only those individual line item purposes and appropriation for “Municipal” departments. Where in the City Charter or in N.H. laws does it allow the exclusion of the “SCHOOL” Department? Unlike a majority of the 13 N.H. cities with manager and council forms of government, whose annual budgets are comprised of Municipal Appropriations AND a School Appropriations, for Laconia, there is no such thing as half a loaf regarding its budget.

Laconia’s differs in that the school appropriations is “included with municipal appropriations”. Accordingly, as posted by the State of N.H., it’s a single grand total amount.

Neither the Laconia City Charter nor state law empowers the School Department to levy a tax. Simply, Laconia’s budget is the combination of ALL the individual line items of ALL departments, the grand total annual budget, used to establish the city’s tax. City managers have been violating the charter by excluding the individual line item of purposes and amounts associated with the School Department in the Proposed Expenditure Plan.

Taxpayers should not have to drive all over the city, or search the Internet to find out the cost for each specific purposes and amounts for each department. Taxpayers must be able to review or obtain a comprehensive FY 2011/12 or the Proposed FY 2012/2013 budget at City Hall or the city’s website.

Laconia has a manager and council form of government. The municipal appropriation for 2011 -2012 is $59,348.260.00. The municipal tax rate is based upon the amount of money to be raised by local property taxes plus the state’s education and county tax levies. The property tax bills for Laconia do distinguish

between municipal and school, but for informational purposes.

Therefore, in accordance with RSA 49-C:23 and the City Charter ARTICLE V, Sect. 5:03, why is it when the city manager posts the “City of Laconia” operating or Proposed Annual Budget, the school’s individual line item appropriations are not included?

Could it be to fool the council into first agreeing on the School Board’s bite of taxpayers’ money, leaving the dropping for safety and services?

How about past innovative accounting when the school budget, so-called “borrowed” from all the other departments to stay under the tax cap?

Budget brouhahas are unending: The Colonial Theater is now a problem for the auditor, DRA and others.

Supreme Court opinions are clear, tax dollars cannot be used for private purposes. A question asked but left unanswered; on January 23 , the mayor’s advise that the $65,000 expenditure relating to the Colonial Theatre project, which do not appear in the the budget or financial reports, would be looked into and a reply would be forthcoming. Apparently the mayor is not a man of his word.

Now, $55,000.00 has been spent, out of public view, regarding 2-way traffic for Beacon Street East and West.

Who had the ultimate responsibility for wasting $120,000 in taxpayers’ dollars? Which public body will be held accountable? Moreover, who will investigate the misappropriation and encumbrance of tax dollars? Who will check the city vendors list?

Also, ask your councilor about the $2,715.59 expenditure, which occurred in May of the FY 2010/2011, absent a specific grant line item purpose or off-setting revenue? Further exasperating is the matter, of $2,715.59 in grand funds reimbursement deposited into the ensuing FY 2011/2012 budget having no purpose.

What good are monthly reports if they are ignored by the City Council?

Majority of Gilmanton residents have chosen to let someone else do it To the editor, I was asked the other day, “ Why should we (Gilmanton) adopt Mandatory Recycling?”.

My answer: If you aren’t swayed by the environmental impact of recycling then think “Economics: Pay or be Paid”. For every ton of recyclable trash, the choice is clear – the town can pay to have it hauled away as trash or get paid for it as a recyclable.

The current Recycling Program is voluntary and it seems to be running smoothly. Could it be fine tuned? Sure, but the real problem with the existing program is that the majority of resi-

dents don’t recycle and the burden to pay for their recyclable trash is growing.

Trash removal is paid for by tax dollars. In order to keep this portion of our tax bill from growing (and perhaps even see it shrink) everyone needs to recycle. If everyone would voluntarily recycle then there would be no need to consider mandatory recycling.

Unfortunately, after years of encouragement, education and invitation to recycle, the majority of the residents have chosen to “let someone else do it”.

It’s time to “Break the Cycle...Recycle”.

LETTERS One cow (the Pentagon) is dominating our whole fiscal barnyard To the editor, We can cut our Pentagon’s budget the proposed trillion dollars over the next 10 years, or we continue to have a farm with one cow that has eaten so much it dominates our barnyard. Our cow is as big as a silo!

What we will spend of our 2011 tax dollar breaks down this way: 39-cents for current and past wars, which includes nuclear weapons, foreign military assistance, interest on the Pentagon’s debt, care and benefits for veterans. 20-cents will go for health care (Medicaid, public health programs, Indian health, National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control). 15-cents for poverty’s costs (despite the bad economy, down by 1% from costs in 2010). 12-cents for general government (4-cents for Congress, Judiciary, departments and 8-cents for interest on the public debt). 9-cents supports the economy (including trade and commerce, stimulus costs like the payroll-tax-holiday, agricultural support, employment and education programs, childcare assistance and community programs).

Let’s take a breather from these dense numbers for a moment and think of the 39-cents, silo-sized cow alongside, perhaps, a poking-along duck representing the 9-cents for the economy that includes with other things educational-

costs spending. Maybe education is one baby duck alongside the mother duck.

“Duck, duck, goose!” we used to chant and play during recess when I was in grade school. I had no idea how that baby animal could signify, by 2012, our low prioritizing of education. Massive silo-sized cow, and small, baby duck.

Of our 2011 tax dollar’s spending 3-cents goes for the EPA, National Science Foundation, NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of the Interior, Forest Service, and the National Resource Conservation Service. All these “the”s. They are actually “ours.”

Energy, science and environmental costs relate to our modern concerns as stewards of our bit of earth.

Last of all is 2-cents for State Department, Agency for International Development, United Nations and non-military aid to other countries.

This can be looked at as preventingwar costs. We recognize farms neighboring ours, because we don’t live in isolation from the rest of our town. We are kind of a funny neighbor, though.

We get scrutinized for our silo-sized cow. What’s up with us? Reduce our Pentagon’s budget, tell Senators Shaheen and Ayotte, please!

Gulf Stream appears to have moved, bringing us a mild winter To the editor, As any driver can see, the sugar houses are again boiling sap. If so, then it cannot be long until Spring arrives. This makes the winter of 2011-2012 what could be called, “The Year Of No Winter.”

About the only thing that could cause this sudden a change, and this big a change in our winter, is that the Gulf Stream has moved from, the middle of the Atlantic, hundreds of miles closer to New England. If so, then Europe may be having an unusually cold winter. Has anybody seen any weather reports from Europe, and are they having an unusually cold winter?

The Gulf Stream moves in a big circle.

In so far as circles have a starting point, the Gulf Stream starts out close to and in the vicinity of the Gulf of Mexico, where it has already picked up a tremendous amount of heat.

From just South of Florida, the Gulf Stream normally moves sort of diago-

nally across the Atlantic and drops its heat on Europe The cooled off Gulf Stream then heads down and back (as the Canaries Current) over to the vicinity of the Gulf of Mexico where it again picks up heat and continues to again go around on its circular journey. The Gulf Stream is an enormous heat pump., enough of a heat pump to normally have defrosted much of the winter weather for Europe.

This year for reasons not yet known, “Mother Nature”, instead of dropping its heat on Europe, seems to have moved the Gulf Stream hundreds of miles closer to, and to have caused the Gulf Stream to have dropped a great deal of its heat on New England. Are there any mariners out there who normally cruise the Gulf Stream and who would have noticed a change in location of the Gulf Stream?

Taxes just can’t grow at a rate that doubles them every 5 to 7 years To the editor, Dear Citizens of Center Harbor: I would like to introduce myself and ask for your vote for selectman of Center Harbor. That my family moved to Center Harbor in 1950 may be relevant to some, but I hope the real reason you will give me your vote is my philosophy on how we need to manage the future of our community.

There will be a heated race for this year’s open seat between two competing philosophies. My opponent, who was previously in office, has a proven track record of advocating for significant expansion of town facilities and pushing to load our little town with

millions of debt.

Over the last few years, in spite of virtually no growth in our beautiful little town, we have had consistent tax growth averaging at about 6- to 10-percent compounded annually.

This drive to build, grow and spend is unsustainable. The policies supported by my opponent and the Selectboard have given Center Harbor the highest tax burden per resident (by far) of any town of similar size in the state.

It is time to hold the line on spending. Center Harbor’s budget is out of control.

My love for Center Harbor began see next page

LETTERS All things considered, why would we build new field at Lions’ Club?

To the editor, Attention Moultonborough Taxpayers: Moultonborough once again finds itself in turmoil about where to invest funds for a usable sports field for town recreational activities.

This issue keeps being raised, reviewed, Playground Drive is recommended, votes are taken, commissions are established, recommendations are made, Playground Drive rebuild is recommended, and something or someone always seems to bring a new argument to try to change the direction.

Over a period of 20 years, three commissions, the latest being the Blue Ribbon Commission have all recommended a rebuild of Playground Drive. Rehabilitating the existing fields at Playground Drive would not impact the neighborhood as it has existed there for many years; there are no zoning issues and no neighborhood issues. The field is centrally located and used for baseball, tennis, basketball, ice skating, soccer, and all the other activities that are currently part of the offerings of the Moultonborough Recreation program as has been the case for the last 20 years.

Donna Keuthe, Director of Recreation

stated that the field at Playground Drive is adequate for her needs.

The Blue Ribbon Committee, after extensive review, determined the town did not need a new field, especially with a recent decline of the school population. The Selectboard has voted 5-0 to support Article 22, a rebuild of Playground Drive. The Advisory Budget Committee is also unanimously in favor of this article.

You may ask, why then would the proponents of the development of the Lions’ Club property ask you at Town Meeting to build a new field at the Lions’ Club.

Let’s be clear on this issue. A field at the Lions’ Club would be the first step. The next phase would be the development of a multimillion dollar recreation facility.

This proposal was defeated at a previous Town Meeting. The proponents of the Lions’ Club property have circled the wagons and are back.

Your attendance at Town Meeting is needed to support Article 22, the rehab of Playground Drive or we all may be swimming in our new indoor heated pool.

Don McGillicuddy Member, Blue Ribbon Committee Moultonborough

Donna Cilley will bring balance to considerations of Shaker board To the editor, This year, two candidates are running for the for Belmont position on the Shaker School Board. I am voting for Donna Cilley — here’s why.

Donna and I do not see eye to eye on every issue, however she is candid, honest, willing to listen and not afraid to speak her mind. In this case I believe Donna will bring something to the School Board that has been lacking for far too long; a thorough understanding of the municipal budget side of Belmont.

The Shaker School Board acts autonomously because it represents a district — Belmont and Canterbury.

Unlike a board in an individual town, the Shaker School Board does NOT need to run the final school budget by the selectmen or the Town Budget Committee. They have complete control. There is and always has been a total disconnect when it comes to their decisions in conjunction with the total (final) tax impact. The municipal budget receives little consideration during their budgetary process.

Donna Cilley has been a Belmont selectman, a member of the Belmont Budget Committee and the long time

director of General Assistance in Belmont. She has dealt with the municipal budget from both the Selectboard and Budget Committee positions and understands the importance of balancing the “wants” vs. the “needs” requested by each department. Add to this her experience running General Assistance; she sees the problems experienced by so many unfortunate Belmont citizens and effectively works to resolve them. She has always been “hands-on,” going above and beyond to ensure that personal responsibility is also shown by those who come to her, before aid is considered. She has on many occasions driven people to job interviews in her own vehicle when transportation is an issue.

As a School Board member, I believe that Donna will not only consider what is best for the children, their parents, and the teaching staff; I believe that she will make budgetary decisions with the property taxpayer’s welfare also in mind. She will bring a fresh outlook as well as balanced consideration to the table, something that is LONG overdue.

from preceding page in 1950, when my family moved here.

I attended Meredith High School, graduated from Plymouth State, and then spent my professional career as an Army officer, Industrial Engineer and Airline Pilot. My attitude towards Center Harbor is one of passion and protection.

We all recognize that every community needs services, but I also think

we can agree that to have taxes growing at a rate that doubles them every 5 to 7 years is short sighted and is not the way to protect the life we all hoped for by settling into this town.

If you have had it with the massive annual tax increases for increased services we don’t need, please join me with your vote.

School spirit, A+ grades & shared superintendent on minds of voters at I-L forum

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Both candidates for the sole contested Inter-Lakes School Board race are working mothers with board experience. At Thursday night’s candidates’ forum, both incumbent Lisa Merrill and challenger Rebecca Alosa told potential voters that they were interested in incorporating technology into the classroom and finding unconventional means to augment education.

The forum also featured moderator Lee Quimby and school board candidates Carol Baggaley and Sally Whalen, each of whom is running unopposed.

The forum was held during a period of long-term, declining enrollment for the Inter-Lakes School District, which has partnered with neighboring Moultonborough Academy to be able to continue offering specialized classes and athletic opportunities at the high school level that would normally be unavailable for such a small school.

School Board candidates discussed how the district had approached Moultonborough on the subject of sharing a superintendent, but found a lack of interest in such a move on the part of their neighbors.

In response to a statement about a perceived lack of school spirit at the

high school, Merrill said, “I hope, with the football team being the champions, that brought some spirit to the school.” However, the questioner the spirit wasn’t visible at other sporting events. “I was up here at a basketball game, we might as well have been at a funeral,” he said.

Another problem, perceived by Meredith resident Gerry Kennedy, was, “the student acheivement here is, at best, average,” despite a student-toteacher ratio he described as “enviable.” “Are we asking enough of our students?”

“No, I don’t think we’re asking enough,” said Baggaley. She wondered how it was possible that most students seemed to make the honor roll and that some could maintain grade point averages of 4.3. “Why are so many kids getting A pluses? I think we need to raise the bar,” she said.

Merrill has completed one threeyear term representing Meredith on the board and asked the voters to return her for another. She introduced herself as a “product of a public school education.” “I grew up in a middle -class family, until my world fell apart,” when her mother’s life was cut short by cancer. Merrill was also visited by the disease in her early 40s, she told the audience. “While this should have slowed me down, it only

empowered me.”

Merrill recounted how she became motivated to engage in the leadership of the district because children are “our greatest resource.” Issues that first sparked her engagement were safety of the schools and transparency of its governance. Prior to her election to the board, she joined other volunteers in videotaping board meetings for broadcast.

More recently, she said she was proud to have brought to the district the Lexus Eco Challenge, an opportunity she found out about on the Internet.

She approached middle tier principal Everett Bennett about forming a team which she has led first the first round of the science-based competition and is currently competing against select others across the country.

“I saw these students flourish and become the bright young scientists of tomorrow,” she said. The Eco Challenge, she said, was an example of “thinking outside of the box” and taking advantage of technology to further student learning.

Merrill served as a member of the board’s negotiating team which recently bargained for a three-year contract with the teachers’ union. The contract will go before voters at district meeting. She felt the negotiations went “very respectfully” and said, “I think we did a great job negotiating... it was a win-win at the end of the day.”

Alosa described herself as a “longterm native” of the district, having graduated from Inter-Lakes High School in 1994. She teaches English at Plymouth State University and has previous board experience as a representative of Center Harbor. However, in November she had to resign from

that post when she moved to Meredith. “It was unfortunate to me, to give up my seat. I’d like to serve again.”

“As a board member, we have to remember that our most important role is writing policies,” she said. Alosa said it was important that policies be written such that they serve students, are workable for administrators and address necessary legal concerns.

“That’s important to me.”

It was also important to Alosa that students become engaged in learning opportunities they feel passionate about. Her preferred example was the Greater Meredith Career Partnership Program, which gives students an insight into or even an internship in a field they’re interested in.

“That’s important to build a sense of community.”

“As far as technology, I think it’s really important,” Alosa continued.

During her tenure, she saw high-tech tools such as “smart boards” proliferate through the school. Students should be, she said, “well-versed in technology, but also critical of it.” In planning for the district’s future, she didn’t see technology as the “end all, be all.”

In closing, Merrill said, “I feel blessed to be on the Inter-Lakes School Board” and said “I will continue to strive for what I think is important,” specifically “21st Century skills.” Referring to the Lexus Eco Challenge as an example, she said, “this customized approach to learning can make a big difference.”

“The only reason I’m sitting here is I feel confident I can do a good job,” Alosa said in her final comments of the evening. “I feel I’m a critical thinker” who can weigh different sides of an issue. “I care about our community, our community working together with the school.”

TREASURE from page 2 later at one of two air force bases in Madrid in a high-security operation.

Odyssey made an international splash when it discovered the wreck, believed to be the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes, off Portugal’s Atlantic coast near the Straits of Gibraltar. At the time, the coins were estimated to be worth as much as $500 million to collectors, which would have made it the richest shipwreck haul in history.

The Mercedes was believed to have had 200 people aboard when it was sunk in 1804.

Spain went ahead with transporting the treasure despite a last-ditch, longshot claim to the treasure by Peru.

On Thursday, the Peruvian government made an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to block transfer of the treasure to give that nation more time to make arguments in federal court about its claim to being the rightful owner. But that appeal was denied Friday by Justice Clarence Thomas.

Peru had argued the gold and silver was mined, refined and minted in that country, which at the time was part of the Spanish empire.

Peru’s ambassador to the United States, Harold Forsyth, said the nation would seek redress in Spain via diplomatic channels.

“The ship departed from the port of Callao (adjacent Lima) with a cargo of coins minted in Peru, extracted from Peruvian mines with arms and sweat

of Peruvians,” he said.

Peru did not gain its independence until 1824, but its lawyers have argued that it was more than a simple colony, being the local seat of the Spanish crown, when the treasure-laden ship was sunk two decades earlier.

Peruvian cultural authorities say their country’s legal case would have been stronger if it had signed the 2001 U.N. Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage, which states that countries of origin have priority in deciding the fate of cultural artifacts found in shipwrecks.

Odyssey — which uses a remotecontrolled submersible to explore the depths and bring the tiniest of items to the surface — had previously argued that it was entitled to all or most of the treasure. The Spanish government filed a claim in U.S. District Court soon after the coins were flown back to Tampa, contending that it never relinquished ownership of the ship or its contents. A federal district court first ruled in 2009 that the U.S. courts didn’t have jurisdiction, and ordered the treasure returned.

Odyssey had argued that the wreck was never positively identified as the Mercedes. And if it was that vessel, the company contended, then the ship was on a commercial trade trip — not a sovereign mission — at the time it sank, meaning Spain would have no firm claim to the cargo. International treaties generally hold that warships sunk in battle are protected from treasure seekers.

Gilmanton candidates stress budget hawk credentials

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILMANTON — Three of the four candidates for a three-year term as selectman spoke at a Candidates’ Night at the Gilmanton School on Wednesday and all agreed that holding town expenses to an absolute minimum is something they view as essential.

All three, Perry Onion, a retired teacher who has lived in the town for 36 years, Roy Buttrick, a former Loudon selectman, and William Magee, a business consultant and former Raytheon project manager, outlined their ideas about dealing with the town’s priorities and answered questions from the 70 or so townspeople who turned out for the event, which has hosted by the school’s Student Leadership Team.

A fourth candidate, Brett Currier, was unable to attend due to a previously scheduled vacation. A letter outlining his views was read at the meeting in which Currier said he feels that he is the most knowledgeable candidate on town issues.

The are running to succeed Don Guarino, who chose not to seek another term.

Buttrick, who moved to Gilmanton seven years ago, talked about the need for growing the town’s economic base, saying that the lack of a Master Plan means that the town has put itself in a position where it can not benefit from future growth because it lacks the ability to impose impact fees on developments.

He said that the town has “no tax base other than homeowners and needs to get a tax base in place.

Development needs to start.’’ Buttrick said that developing elderly housing would be a good way to grow the tax base without raising school costs.

Responding to audience questions, Buttrick said that when it comes to a Pay As You Throw, he had no personal opinion because he hadn’t researched it enough but would support it if voters adopted the warrant article which will appear on this year’s ballot.

“Whatever works. I’ll listen what the people say. It works for Canterbury,’’ he said.

He also took the same stance on town funding for the Gilmanton-Year-Round Library, saying he’d have no problem if that’s what voters supported, prompting one questioner to ask if he bought into the idea of “funding a private organization with taxpayer dollars.’’

“I’m kind of a newbie here.’’ Buttrick said in response to the question.

He did say that he supports adopting SB-2, which would replace the traditional Town Meeting with

secret ballot voting on warrant articles. “If it will get more people to vote, I believe it’s the right thing to do.”

Magee, who described himself as a conservative Republican, cited his background in business management and consulting as a reason to vote for him.

He said that he was “a fresh face in town’’ whose youngest daughter had benefitted greatly from her experiences at the Gilmanton School.

He said that he would work very hard to control the budget by eliminating wasteful spending in every line item.

“My goal as a selectmen is to have no tax increase at all,’’ said Magee, who said that he was also concerned about what he sees as conflicts of interest involving town officials.

In response to audience questions Magee also said that he supports adoption of SB-2 and acknowledged that the prime driver of tax increases in the town is the School District budget, not the town budget.

Onion, who has lived in town since 1975, and has served as Historic District Commissioner, said that he brings no agenda with him and that his bottom line is that he will support those things which foster a sense of community.

“One of the nicest things I have in life is this community,’’ said Onion, who opined that there really wasn’t much in the budget that selectmen have control over, noting that even the most stringent scrutiny couldn’t save more than $30,000 or $40,000.

He noted that the town currently recycles only about 20-percent of its solid waste and makes $60,000 from that effort. “If we can increase recycling to 80-percent we could pay for Pay as You Throw. I’d like to see everyone thinking of their trash as treasure,’’ said Onion.

He also said that he supports town funding for Gilmanton Year-Round Library and opposes changing the traditional town meeting to an SB-2 format.

Onion said that in the long run the town would save on highway maintenance costs by paving some of the dirt roads, like Meetinghouse Road where he lives and which he said is almost impassable during the mud season and so dusty in the summer that people can’t open their windows.

In his letter, Currier said that he would like to control expenses without cutting employees or services and said that since his son is a member of the police department and his wife an EMT for the fire department, where he also is a driver for the departsee next page

GILFORD from page one other on Cherry Valley Road (Rte. 11-A) at the Cat Path corner and the road was so icy first responders were unable to drive to the scene.

According to one police officer who spoke to The Sun with Keenan’s permission, the six cars skidded into each other in a chain reaction accident caused by sudden snow squall that left the road impassable.

“It looked like a parking lot,” he said. “Like one of those big accidents you see on television.”

The officer said not only did six cars make contact, about 10 more had spun off of the road on both sides of the actual crash site, making it nearly impossible for police and ambulance crews to reach the site.

He and fellow emergency responders had to leave their patrol cars, don special ice clamps on the bottom of their feet, and walk about 200 yards to get to the victims. Fortunately, he said, no one was seriously injured.

He also said traffic was backed up on both sides of the crash and all along Cat Path.

Keenan told selectmen a Gilford road crew was the first to respond, within minutes of getting called by emergency responders, but it was nearly 10:45 p.m. by the time Department of Transportation highway crews sanded the road.

He said he was monitoring the police radio from home and called a DOT area leader on a private line to get some kind of response.

Keenan told selectmen the town was lucky not only that no one was seriously injured but also because there were no major fires or medical emergencies in the area as it would have been impossible to get fire and police teams and equipment through the closed road.

Selectboard Chair John O’Brien said he first wanted to thank Gilford Public Works crews for their quick response and then asked Town Administrator Scott Dunn to contact the Department of Transportation and report back to the board.

O’Brien said Rte. 11-A is a major highway and access road in Gilford and for DOT crews to not respond for that amount of time was unacceptable.

TRASH from page one tronic waste, currently $5, $10 and $15 according to the type of device, would be doubled to $10, $20 and $30 beginning July 1, 2012.

At the same time, the council will weigh a proposal to reduce the number of containers placed at the curbside at both residential and commercial properties. The number of containers at single and multi-family residences would be reduced from five to two per family while at commercial properties the number of containers would be reduced from 10 to seven. At properties serving both residential and commercial uses the total number of containers would be reduced from 15 to nine. The maximum weight of containers would be reduced from 60 pounds to 50 pounds.

Meanwhile, ashes, leaves and some paper products would no longer be collected at the curb, but taken to the transfer station in appropriate containers. Newspapers and magazines, along with cardboard containers, would be required to be placed with recyclable materials. Clippings from trees and shrubs would continue to be collected, but would have to be bound in bundles of less than 60 pounds.

One amendment to the solid waste ordinance would encourage residents to recycle a larger share of their household waste and another would urge all licensed haulers to offer recycling services to their customers.

Recyclables represented 14.2-percent of all trash collected at the curbside during the eighth round of the recycling challenge that ended on February 17.

But, with just one round left, the challenge will end far short of its goal reaching its goal of recycling a quarter of curbside trash by March 1.

In the latest round 24 tons of recyclable materials were collected at the curb on the five routes, exactly the same amount as the round before. The Tuesday route, which has recycled the most tonnage in every round, again topped the list with 7.19 tons.

The challenge pits each of the five daily trash collection routes against one another in a contest to determine which can increase its percentage of recycled waste the most. Every ton taken out of the waste stream and recycled reduces the cost of collecting, transporting and disposing of solid waste, which is funded by property taxes, by more than $150-per-ton.

from preceding page ment, he would recuse himself from any vote on issues involving either his wife or son.

Currier said that it was up to the voters to decide what direction to take with regard to town funding for the Gilmanton Year Round Library.

Also taking part in the event were Paul Perkins, who is running for re-election as Road Agent, and

Tony Batten, his challenger.

Botten said that he would make the position a fulltime one not work as a private contractor. Perkins said he has been in town 28 years and worked his way up from laborer to foreman to road agent and said that the dump truck his business uses is driven by an employee and that the rate is cut when it is used by the town, which is only during the winter months.

JAZZ CENTER from page one welcome to bring their own alcoholic beverages – and only recently did he team up with Kevin Halligan of the Village Bakery to offer a limited food menu and soft drinks. Punctuating the focused nature of the experience, Lorentz enforces a strict “listening policy” which forbids the use of cell phones or laptops and shushes those who would talk through the performance.

Rather than driving paying customers away, the focused experience has had patrons returning in increasing numbers. Attendance increased over the summer and has continued to rise through the winter. He now gets an average of about 100 people each week and occasionally brushes up against his 160 capacity. Meanwhile, musicians are burning up his phone line for gigs, he’s already booked through see next page

from preceding page 2012. Starting in March, he’s adding weekly Monday shows to serve the growing demand.

The vigorous response to the Jazz Center, he feels is because he offers a venue where the music comes first and everything else is built around the performance. It’s a contrast to the norm, where presenting music might be an afterthought for a bar or restaurant where musicians pack a cramped corner stage and compete with loud patrons and televisions.

“I feel that if we had three venues in Laconia that present their type of music correctly,” he said, music such as rock, blues, classical chamber music, country, for example, “My feeling was that if we could get to that critical number of venues, we could become known as the entertainment center of New Hampshire.”

What, exactly, the venues look like might change depending on the genre. For example, a listening policy might not be appropriate for a punk rock club.

However, he thinks it’s important for the venue to have a few characteristics.

Lorentz thinks the venue should be affordable enough for local residents to make regular visits.

For example, admission to his shows will soon rise to $12, a modest increase from $10. Also, he thinks it’s important for the venues to be small enough that 50 or 100 people feels like a relatively full house. If there’s alcohol served, it needs to be in the hands of experienced bartenders and security staff who know how to handle intoxicated patrons. Other suggestions are to generally make the music the forefront of the operation, such as with a well-placed stage and a high-quality public address system.

Once there’s a few such venues in operation, Lorentz thinks it would “start this creative economy ball rolling” and would lead to the creation of other clubs. Soon enough, the city would gain a reputation as the place to go for live music.

It might sound far-fetched and unconventional but if there’s anything Lorentz has learned from his Jazz Center experience, it’s that crazy ideas sometimes work. He’s already developed a local corps of inveterate music fans whose numbers are often augmented by recruits from across state lines. “I think they’re hungry for it. There’s enough people that are interested in going out there and looking to see a good show.”

Fire destroys Roland Martin residence in Northfield NORTHFIELD — After spending much of the day yesterday at the scene of a fire that destroyed a two-story home at 43 Granite Street on Thursday evening, officials have yet to disclose the cause of the fire.

The fire was reported at 8:19 p.m. and firefighters from the Tilton-Northfield Fire & EMS Department and Franklin Fire Department reached the scene four minutes later, when they found flames showing from both floors of the building.

With the residence engulfed by a heavy volume of fire and its interior already severely damaged, firefighters mounted a defensive attack with hand-held

hose lines and mounted stream appliances, including the ladder truck from Franklin, which was called to assist with operations aimed at the roof and attic.

Although initially the two residents of the home were unaccounted for, some 45 minutes later Northfield Police confirmed that they were not at home and were safe.

Firefighters from Sanbornton, Belmont, Laconia and Gilford assisted at the scene, together with police from Northfield and Tilton.

The property is listed as the home of Ronald Martin, who operates a trucking company at the address.

STOCKS from page 2 The two economic reports out Friday didn’t make the cut.

A consumer sentiment index taken by the University of Michigan and Reuters edged up in February to its highest level in a year. And the Commerce Department reported that sales of new homes dipped slightly in January, but the figure still topped economists’ estimates. It also said sales in the final three months of 2011 were higher than previously reported.

“The numbers are just OK,” Lamkin said. “They weren’t bad, but they weren’t great, either.”

In other trading, the Nasdaq composite index rose 6.77 points to 2,963.75.

Oil prices hit a nine-month high of $109.77 a barrel.

The price of oil has jumped 10 percent this month amid rising concerns about a conflict with Iran.

The euro added a penny against the dollar, hitting $1.346, its highest since Dec. 5. Greece made a formal offer to creditors to swap their Greek government bonds for new ones, another step toward

knocking $142 billion off its debts. The swap is part of a deal to prevent Greece from defaulting on a debt payment due next month.

Stock indexes have been climbing since November as European officials redoubled their efforts to contain the region’s debt crisis and the European Central Bank extended cheap loans to troubled banks.

The S&P 500 index has gained 8.6 percent to start 2012, better than its long-term annual average gain.

In contrast to the volatile trading of late last year, the market’s gains have been small but steady. To Lamkin, the lack of large swings looks ominous. The world is still full of dangers, he said. Lamkin tells his clients that the top risks are another flare-up in the European debt crisis and a war between Israel and Iran.

OBITUARIES

Rev. Charles ‘Art’ Bradley, 84

CHESTER, Conn. — Rev. Charles Arthur Leland “Art” Bradley, age 84, of Chester, CT, passed away at Yale-New Haven Hospital on February 22, 2012. He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Jean Carter Bradley; four children, William (and Mieko) of Otsu, Japan, John (and Elizabeth) of New Haven, CT, Elizabeth (and Ben) Muskin of Madison, CT and Katherine (and Dale) Dormody of Gilford, NH. Art is also survived by ten grandchildren Paula, Loretta, Alice, Kate, and Tim Bradley, Sarah, Rachel, and Natalie Muskin and Christopher and Daniel Dormody.

Art was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1927, son of the late Arthur Eugene & Marian Chute Bradley and brother of the late Marian B. Kelly. He was educated at Western Reserve Academy and Harvard College. He served in the US Navy, after which he received his B.D. degree from Union Seminary, an S.T.M. degree from Yale Divinity School and a PhD in American Studies at New York University. Art spent his career in the ministry of the United Church of Christ and served parishes

in New Hampshire and Connecticut (North Coventry, Enfield, and New Haven). He also served as the Associate Conference Minister of the Central Association of the Illinois UCC. Art was active in church and community life after his retirement, serving two interim ministries in Arizona, volunteering with youth in Tucson, AZ and overseeing a scholarship fund for students at Chester Village West.

All are invited to attend his Memorial Service at the Church of the Redeemer, 185 Cold Spring St, New Haven, CT 06511 at 1:00 pm on Saturday, February 25th.

MOULTONBOROUGH NECK — Richard E. Leavitt, 62 died peacefully in his sleep of natural causes at Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia, NH on February 14, 2012. He was born in North Conway, NH on January 5, 1950, the son of Herbert and Lillian (Lyman) Leavitt.

Along with his parents, Richard was predeceased by his brother Billy and sister Vera. He is survived by his siblings John and Betty, nephews John, Jeff, Richard and Daniel, guardians Dawn and Scott Ferguson as well as loving extended family.

Richard lived most of his life in Conway, NH with his family. New Horizons (formerly Center of Hope) was a large part of his social life and connection to the community. It was through New Horizons that Richard (who lived with Down syndrome) was able to realize his unique ability to connect with people. His volunteer work always involved socializing with people whether it was delivering meals on wheels or greeting people at the Gibson Center for lunch. Richard loved music, never missing a chance to go to sing-a-longs, dances or karaoke. He liked listening to Patsy Cline and Elvis and could melt any ones heart when he sang

“Let Me Call You Sweetheart” When Richard was 45, he moved to a group home in Conway where he could always find a peer to talk with and practice his wry sense of humor. At age 54, Richard joined the family of Don and Nancy Barnhart in Chocorua, NH. With the Barnhart’s, Richard expanded his social circle. He enjoyed going to community concerts and traveled to many places in New England. At age 58, Richard joined the loving family of Dawn and Brent Trombly in Moultonborough Neck, NH. The Trombly household included teens and toddlers, all of whom enjoyed Richard.

Especially close to him was Brooklyn Trombly, who at 20 months old soaked up all the good things Richard had to offer.

Guardians and those close to Richard wish to thank the doctors and nurses who cared for Richard at Lakes Region General Hospital and the staff at Golden View Health Care Center in Meredith, NH. A graveside service and then celebration of Richards’s life will be held on May 19th, times to be announced. Service will be arranged by The Lord Funeral Home, Ctr. Ossipee, NH. Condolences and fond memories may be left at www.lordfuneralhome.com .

Richard E. Leavitt, 62

Corey A. Boivin, 27

COLEBROOK, NH— Corey A. Boivin, 27, of Gilford and Colebrook, died tragically on his way to work Thursday morning, February 23, 2012, from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident on Rt. 16 in Albany, NH. He was born on September 30, 1984, in Colebrook, the youngest son of Normand and Debbie (Bouchard) Boivin.

Corey was a 2002 graduate of Colebrook Academy.

After graduating from school, Corey attended truck driving school in Wisconsin for the Roehl Trucking Co. At the time of his death, he was employed as a truck driver for the Hancock Lumber company in North Conway.

Corey was a larger-than-life personality. He loved all kinds of music, and he often helped his brother, Chad, with his DJ business. He also loved to hunt and fish, and he was an avid snowmobiler in the winter and a softball player in the summer. His favorite number “99” was almost always on anything he was wearing. Corey’s smile and laugh were infectious, and immediately made those around him smile and laugh along with him. He had an uncounted number of friends, and he was precious to his family, all of whom will miss him dearly.

Corey leaves behind his parents, Normand and Debbie Boivin of Colebrook; two brothers, Armand Boivin who is serving in the U.S. Navy in California, and Chad Boivin of Kensington, NH; his girlfriend, Erica Brough and her two children, Brett and Caleb; his grandparents, Walter and Shirley Bouchard of Groveton, NH, and Doris Boivin of Stark, NH; and two very special uncles, Wayne Bouchard of Wells, Me., and Randy Bouchard of Clarksville, NH. He is preceded in death by an infant brother, Jason, and his grandfather, Albert Boivin.

Calling hours will be on Mon., February 27, 2012, from 2-4 & 6-8 p.m. at the Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, February 28, at 1 p.m. at St. Brendan’s Catholic Church in Colebrook, with The Rev. Craig Cheney as celebrant.

Expressions of sympathy in memory of Corey may be made to the Two Rivers Ride for Cancer, c/o Rosemary Mulliken at the First Colebrook Bank, 132 Main St., Colebrook, NH 03576.

Condolences may be offered to the family on-line by going to www.jenkinsnewman.com.

Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home, Colebrook, NH.

Paul E. Handlin, 82

SANBORNTON — Paul Edwin Handlin, 82, on Dr. True Road in Sanbornton, NH died on February 17, 2012. Mr. Handlin was born in September 1929. He formerly lived in Westborough, Mass.

He served in the U.S. Navy aboard the U.S.S. Tumult between 1950 to 1954, during the Korean War and graduated from Boston University in 1957 Mr. Handlin was a avid sportsman. As a member of the Picadilly Big Game Fishing Club he won many trophies over the years. He was well known for his 16mm hunting and fishing films and his hand-tied flies. He also loved the game of pool and played it at many clubs in the area.

He was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) post in Laconia.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

“Off the Beaten Path, But Worth Finding!”

Nominated for “Best Breakfast Place” in NH. Go to www.bestofnh.com and vote us in!

Real deals in the Lakes Region A spin around the MLS system this week revealed a few more potential good buys in the Lakes Region if you are in the market for a new home! The first one is a bit of a mystery, though as there was only one picture shown and there’s not a lot of info listed on the sheet. That always scares me. The home is located at 731 East Side Drive in Alton and is offered as a short sale at $140,000.

It is assessed at $174,800 which is why I thought it might be of some interest. The only picture is of the outside of this 1,340-square-foot, three bedroom, two bath raised ranch. And sure enough, it looks exactly like a raised ranch. The listing sheet says is was built in 2004 and has cherry cabinets, granite countertops, a finished basement, and a two car garage under. So that sounds good. It also says it needs some work. It might be worth a look and it could be a surprise, of one kind or another.

Over in Barnstead at 35 Beauty Hill Road is a large 3,000-square-foot, four bedroom, three bath, raised ranch on a 1.8-acre lot. This home has been freshly painted inside, has new carpets, a master suite, an in-law suit over the two car garage, gas fire place, large three season porch, finished basement, and an in-ground pool with a private back yard. It is being offered at $185,000 or 65-percent of the current assessed value of $284,000. Is it a deal? You’ll have to find out for yourself. It could be a real beauty!

The home at 393 Durrell Mountain Road in Belmont has been on the market for a while starting at $237,000 back in 2010. The price is now down to $189,000 (which is 79-percent of the assessed value of $239,000) making it a pretty darn good deal, I think. This home is for the guy that needs a garage for his toys. And this 30’ x 60’ heated garage will hold a lot; six cars to be exact or a whole bunch of ATV’s, snow machines, or motorcycles. Perfect! As an added bonus, there is a very nice two bedroom, two bath home included with

the garage. A guy has to sleep sometimes you know. This cozy home has 1,800-square-feet of living space, new carpeting, redwood cathedral ceilings, new kitchen countertops, and a beautiful hearth with a pellet stove. This home should have a new owner soon...

Another property in Belmont at 198 Ladd Hill Road also looks like it might be a bargain. This property consists of a 1,976-square-foot, renovated main home with four bedrooms and a separate 700-squarefoot, one bedroom cottage for the in-laws or cousin Eddie. The home has many recent upgrades including new flooring, paint, windows, vinyl siding, a new roof, new cabinetry, appliances, and a new furnace in the cottage. The zoning here allows for many possibilities for a home business so you can also put Eddie to work. The home sits on a 3.4-acre lot with public water and sewer. This property is assessed at $322,000 and is priced to sell at $219,000! Good deal?

Finally, over in Sanbornton there is a nice antique circa 1798, seven room, three bedroom, two bath cape that has also been on the market for a while that seems like a nice deal. This is one of those quaint, picturesque postcard kind of homes in the historic area near the square at 49 Tower Hill Road. It has a huge 18’ x 20’ living room, a den with a fireplace, a large screened porch with great views, and a two story barn. This home was priced originally at $325,000 but has been reduced to $222,900 which is 77-percent of the current tax assessment of $289,600. If you like old homes, this could be the one for you…

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis direction.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re still learning what it means to be you, and there always will be more to learn.

You are a sojourner in the mystifying adventure of human experience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Following your passion makes you feel like you’re in synch with the mechanics that operate the engine of the world.

You are in wordless conversation with everything around you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

What would happen if you demanded nothing of yourself? If you remove all pressure to perform and opt to do what comes naturally, even if that means doing very little, you’ll get to the heart of what you need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Choose your endeavors carefully because they will take up more time than you think. Also, tasks that seem to demand your intellectual attention will only be accomplished by pouring your heart in, as well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Stay away from people who seem listless or bored. These same people may be the “coolest” around, but they’ll bring you down with their contagious moods.

Favor those who draw out your enthusiasm.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 25).

You’ll revel in the time you spend with loved ones. You have much to give, but something impeded your contribution in the past. The block will be lifted. Laughter and fun fills your spring.

Your dedication to a project will lead to bigger assignments and responsibilities. You’ll find the challenge exhilarating. Aquarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 17, 2, 39 and 18.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re an agreeable person in general, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to say yes to everything that’s presented to you.

In fact, you’re likely to say no at least three times and be better off for it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Detective work isn’t just for criminal cases.

Sleuthing will be necessary in your professional life even if you don’t work for the police. You’ll do well in a situation that requires cunning and secrecy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The hardiest seed in the world still requires particular circumstances in order to grow.

You’re tough inside, but you still have needs. There’s nothing wimpy about knowing what they are and getting them met.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today’s conflict may be subtle and, therefore, insignificant to those around you, but it means something to you. Your shrewd strategy makes you a formidable opponent. You’re likely to be crowned with glory.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your best financial luck occurs when you are happily doing what you want to do for your own reasons -- reasons that even you may not understand. Being totally unconcerned about monetary rewards could make you rich.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll work incredibly hard and bring your goals ever closer. When it comes to play, you think you have no goals, but think again. Live a little. Make a plan to secure your own pleasure and joy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You want to use your talents and develop as a person. There are many routes to this end, none of them particularly “right” or “wrong.” Still, you’ll appreciate the confirmation that you’re headed in a good

Yesterday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, February 25, 2012— Page 15

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Feb. 25, the 56th day of 2012. There are 310 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 25, 1862, Nashville, Tennessee was occupied by federal forces during the Civil War; it was the first Confederate capital to fall to the Union.

On this date: In 1779, a militia led by George Rogers Clark routed the British from Fort Sackville in the Revolutionary War Battle of Vincennes in present-day Indiana.

In 1836, inventor Samuel Colt patented his revolver.

In 1901, United States Steel Corp. was incorporated by J.P. Morgan.

In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, giving Congress the power to levy and collect income taxes, was declared in effect by Secretary of State Philander Chase Knox.

In 1919, Oregon became the first state to tax gasoline, at one cent per gallon.

In 1922, French serial killer Henri Landru, convicted of murdering 10 women and the son of one of them, was executed in Versailles (vehr-SY’).

In 1948, Communists seized power in Czechoslovakia.

In 1950, “Your Show of Shows,” starring Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner and Howard Morris, debuted on NBC-TV. In 1964, Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali) became world heavyweight boxing champion by defeating Sonny Liston in Miami Beach.

In 1970, Russian-born American painter Mark Rothko died in New York, a suicide, at age 66.

In 1986, President Ferdinand Marcos fled the Philippines after 20 years of rule in the wake of a tainted election; Corazon Aquino assumed the presidency.

In 1991, during the Persian Gulf War, 28 Americans were killed when an Iraqi Scud missile hit a U.S. barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

One year ago: Republicans in the Wisconsin Assembly took the first significant action on their plan to strip collective bargaining rights from most public workers, abruptly passing the measure in the small hours before sleep-deprived Democrats realized what was happening. (The vote sent the bill on to the Wisconsin Senate, where minority Democrats had fled to Illinois to prevent a vote.)

The Obama White House broke decades of tradition, naming Jeremy Bernard the first man to ever serve as social secretary in the female-dominated East Wing.

Today’s Birthdays: Country singer Ralph Stanley is 85. Actor Tom Courtenay is 75. CBS newsman Bob Schieffer is 75. Actress Diane Baker is 74. Actress Karen Grassle is 70. Humorist Jack Handey is 63. Movie director Neil Jordan is 62. Rock musician Dennis Diken is 55. Rock singer-musician Mike Peters is 53. Actress Veronica Webb is 47. Actor Alexis Denisof is 46.

Actress Tea Leoni is 46. Comedian Carrot Top is 45. Actress Lesley Boone is 44. Actor Sean Astin is 41. Singer Daniel Powter is 41. Latin singer Julio Iglesias Jr. is 39. Rhythm-and-blues singer Justin Jeffre is 39. Rock musician Richard Liles is 39. Actor Anson Mount is 39. Comedian-actress Chelsea Handler is 37. Actress Rashida Jones is 36.

Lakes Region Singers start spring rehearsals

GILFORD — The Lakes Region Singers’ new director, Karen Jordan, has announced the formation of an advisory board which will guide the group through its current expansion process.

The new board members include Mary Albert, Kelly Cleveland, Charlotte Cox, Lorraine Gebhardt, Paul Stickney, Betty Welch, and Rachel Young. They met for the first time on Monday night, Feb. 6, and discussed adding more performances per season, requesting a suggested donation to defray concert expenses, and participating in Gilford’s 200th Anniversary Celebration.

Jordan said “I was so pleased with the launch of our new Youth Chorus last season, as well as with the growth in our overall membership. The Christmas Concert was a great success, and I think we had record attendance – nearly 50 chairs had to be added to the regular seating. But as we move ahead, I want to be sure I’m hearing ideas and getting feedback from throughout the community, and I think this advisory board can provide that.”

The Lakes Region Singers adult chorus resumed rehearsals for the spring season on Tuesday, Jan. 31, 7:30 p.m., at First United Methodist in Gilford. They are preparing for their Spring Concert, to be held on Friday, May 4. The spring program will feature lighter fare, including many Broadway and film tunes, and a shorter performance time will run no longer than one hour.

The new youth chorus will also rehearse on Tuesdays, but at 6:30 p.m. These young singers aged 9-13 will perform three special numbers in the Spring Concert.

Laconia Adult Education looking for volunteer tutors

LACONIA — The Adult Tutorial and Adult Learning Services Program for Belknap County is looking for individuals with time on their hands who have a desire to help adult learners improve their math and reading skills, prepare to take the GED Exam or to work with people living in the Lakes Region from a foreign country who need to learn to speak, understand and improve their English skills.

Tutors do not have to be teachers. They are individuals that have a sense of humor, patience, and the desire to help adult learners become more employable, read to their children, be able to read the labels on the cans and boxes at the grocery store and turn their lives around.

There is no typical adult learner. Adult Literacy Programs have both male and female adult students who age range from 18 to 80+. Students come from varies ethnic, religious and economic backgrounds and they represent all the possible family structures existing in the community. School experiences will range from none to 12 or more years. Some adult learners may hold responsible jobs, while others are unemployed or may have just become laid off due to the current economic downturn.

For more information on becoming a volunteer tutor, contact Jane Gallant or Peggy Selig at the Laconia Adult Education Office at 524-5712.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, February 25, 2012— Page 17

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: When I married my husband, his son, “D.J.” was 6 years old. My children from my first marriage were slightly older. Right from the start, D.J. was a handful. He was violent and often in trouble at school.

A year into the marriage, my husband and I had a son together. That same year, D.J. was diagnosed with ADHD and aggressive behavior and was put on medication. D.J. is now 14. In the intervening years, he has killed animals, pushed his younger brother off a patio and tried to suffocate him, and recently hit him in the eye and caused permanent damage to his vision. D.J. went to live with his mother three years ago.

She took him off all of his medications.

Last summer, I insisted that D.J. stay with my in-laws, who are completely blind to his flaws. I told my husband he could visit D.J. as often as he wanted, and for six weeks, my husband spent every day with his older son, while our kids barely saw him. The problem is, D.J. will be coming to visit again this summer. While I understand that this is my husband’s son, I must protect our younger kids from his violence. My husband is upset that I don’t want D.J. in our home. Please help. -- Scared to Death Dear Scared: D.J. sounds like a very disturbed young man who takes his hostility out on your children. Based on his track record, he cannot be trusted around them. It must be difficult for your husband to accept that his son is so violent, but we think having D.J. stay with his grandparents is sensible.

We hope your husband will consider getting some counseling for him, and also for the entire family.

Dear Annie: My 90-year-old mother is an Alzheimer’s patient. In her younger days, she was very active in the community and belonged to many organizations and social clubs.

Mom doesn’t get out of her assisted-living community much. Occasionally, I take her in her wheelchair to a local restaurant or a doctor’s appointment. Because of her former high profile in the community, many people recognize her, but she no longer knows them. I always tell them to please identify themselves so she doesn’t get confused. Yet even with this warning, some people insist on saying, “Hi, Mary!

Do you know who I am?”

Of course, I immediately tell Mom their name and how she knows them so she can put them in context. But what amazes me is that some people have the nerve to ask, “Why did you tell her? I wanted to see if she recognized me!” Mind you, she often does not know me. Why on earth would she remember some acquaintance from 30 years ago?

Mom knows enough to be aware that she has a problem with her memory. The shock and despair on her face during these encounters is so sad, it makes me want to smack these idiots. I’m amazed at the stupidity of some people and wanted to tell them so. -- Pissed Off in El Paso Dear El Paso: It is always wise to identify yourself when approaching someone. It is both inconsiderate and egotistical to assume everyone knows who you are. This is especially important when dealing with a person with Alzheimer’s.

Thanks for saying so.

Dear Annie: I’ve been reading about the barking dogs.

Many years ago, we lived next to a lady who had chickens. I called and told her that her rooster was waking us up too early in the morning. She promised it wouldn’t happen again.

The next morning, the rooster began to crow. I got out of bed and called her on the phone. When she answered, I began to crow like a rooster. End of problem. -- The Villages, Fla.

Page 20 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, February 25, 2012

March 7 meeting intended to solicit input on how best to invest money in downtown Laconia TIF fund

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The advisory group overseeing the downtown tax increment financing (TIF) district is hosting a public meeting on Wednesday, March 7 beginning at 6 p.m. at the Belknap Mill to solicit suggestions from residents about what improvements should be undertaken downtown.

Tax increment financing allows municipalities to define TIF districts, then apply a portion of the future tax revenues that accrue from the increase in assessed value generated by new construction, expansion or renovation of property in the district to either provide funds or service borrowings for public improvements within it. In addition, to the downtown TIF district, the city has approved a TIF district in Lakeport and a third TIF district is contemplated at The Weirs.

Half of the incremental revenues will be reinvested in the downtown TIF district and half deposited in the general fund.

The improvements are generally made in conjunction with private developers, who undertake to complete particular projects while municipalities commit to enhancing infrastructure — roadways, drainage, sidewalks, landscaping, utilities and so on — within the TIF district.

The boundaries of the downtown TIF district enclose an area roughly ringed by Fair Street, New Salem Street, Church Street, Union Avenue and Court Street and divided by Main Street, running from Pine Street in

the south to Oak Street in the north. The district included 287 properties, which together represented a total assessed value of more than $70-million when the district was established in 2004.

Since then the redevelopment of the Allen-Rogers complex, Scott and Williams factory, Vernitron building and Sundial Shop and the construction of Meredith Village Savings Bank, Walgreen’s and CVS have added value to the district.

Funds have been used to complete a stretch of the Riverwalk near City Hall and make improvements to Stewart Park. The district has accrued a current balance of more than $160,000 and generates approximately $100,000 per year.

The committee encourages residents to attend the meeting and offer their recommendations and priorities for what projects should be pursued in the coming year.

NIKE from page 2 in police to manage fans clamoring for the purple and blue shoes, which have star-like flecks of white.

Some shoppers lucky enough to get their hands on a pair immediately posted them for sale on eBay at skyrocketing prices: $1,000 and up.

Authorities did have some warning the shoe could cause mayhem. Earlier this month, police were called to a mall outside Albany after pushing and shoving broke out during a promotional event for the shoe.

Orlando resident Gaby Llanos was in the crowd waiting to buy two pairs of the shoes when the rush started outside Florida Mall.
