Selectmen back away from attempt to split Gonyer’s job into 2

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Although last night’s Deliberative Session of Town Meeting was sparsely attended, those who were present rose against the Board of Selectman’s attempt to split the position of Town Clerk-Tax

Collector into two separate positions.

Leading the onslaught was former Police Chief and Town Administrator Evans Juris, who said the article was “absolutely unnecessary” and in his opinion it was nothing but a “power play” to usurp the

authority of the elected Town Clerk-Tax Collector.

Juris also challenged the board to produce the minutes of any discussion about the split of the position saying from what he has read there has been no public discussion of why they want the position split.

The article, if passed would change the elected position of Town Clerk-Tax Collector into one elected town clerk and one separate tax collector who would be appointed by the selectmen. At the end of the deliberative session, selectsee GILFORD page 8

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — The Scottie dog has a new nemesis in Monopoly after fans voted in an online contest to add a cat token to the property trading game, replacing the iron, toy maker Hasbro Inc. announced Wednesday.

The results were announced after the shoe, wheelbarrow and iron were neck and neck for elimination in the final hours of voting that sparked passionate efforts by fans to save their favorite tokens, and by businesses eager to capitalize on the publicity.

The Facebook vote closed just before midnight Tuesday, marking the first time that fans have had a say on which of the eight tokens to add and which one to toss. The pieces identify the players and have changed quite a lot since Parker Brothers bought the game from its original designer in 1935.

Rhode Island-based Hasbro announced the new piece Wednesday morning.

Postal Service plans to eliminate Saturday mail WASHINGTON (AP) — Saturday mail may soon go the way of the Pony Express and penny postcards. The Postal Service said Wednesday that it plans to cut back to five-day-a-week deliveries for everything except packages to stem its financial losses in a world radically re-ordered by the Internet.

“Our financial condition is urgent,” declared Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe. But Congress has voted in the past to bar the idea of eliminating Saturday delivery, and his announcement immediately drew protests from some lawmakers.

The plan, which is to take effect in August, also brought vigorous objections from farmers, the letter carriers’ union and others.

The Postal Service, which suffered a

$15.9 billion loss in the past budget year, said it expected to save $2 billion annually with the Saturday cutback. Mail such as letters and magazines would be affected.

Delivery of packages of all sizes would continue six days a week.

The plan accentuates one of the agency’s strong points: Package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010, officials say, while the delivery of letters and other mail has plummeted. Email has decreased the mailing of paper letters, but online purchases have increased package shipping, forcing the Postal Service to adjust to customers’ new habits.

“Things change,” Donahoe said.

James Valentine, an antiques shop owner in Toledo, wasn’t too concerned about the news.

“The mail isn’t that important to me anymore. I don’t sit around waiting for it to come. It’s a sign of the times,” he said, adding, “It’s not like anyone writes letters anymore.”

In fact, the Postal Service has had to adapt to changing times ever since Benjamin Franklin was appointed the first postmaster general by the Continental Congress in 1775. The Pony Express began in 1860, six-day delivery started in 1863, and airmail became the mode in 1918.

Twice-a-day delivery was cut to one in 1950 to save money.

But change is not the biggest factor in the agency’s predicament — Congress is.

CONCORD (AP) — A blizzard heading to New England could make travel nearly impossible and dump up to 2 feet of snow on a region that has seen mostly bare ground this winter.

The snow will start Friday morning, with the heaviest amounts dumped on the region that night and into Saturday as the storm moves through New England and upstate New York, the National Weather Service said.

A blizzard watch for parts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island said travel may become nearly impossible because of high winds and blowing snow.

“This has the potential for being a dangerous storm, especially for Massachu-

setts into northeast Connecticut and up into Maine,” said Louis Uccellini, director of the weather agency’s National Centers for Environmental Prediction.

Uccellini, who has written two textbooks on northeastern snowstorms, said Wednesday it was too early to tell if the storm would be one for the record books. But he said it will be a rare and major storm, the type that means “you can’t let your guard down.”

The storm would hit just after the 35th anniversary of the historic blizzard of 1978, which paralyzed the region with more than 2 feet of snow and hurricane force winds from Feb. 5-7.

No one is wishing for a repeat, but skiers,

snowmobilers and other outdoor enthusiasts were hoping for just enough snow to turn around a disappointing season.

The snowmobile season in northern New England started off strong, but after rain and warm temperatures last month, many trails in Maine turned essentially to thick sheets of ice, said Maine Snowmobile Association Executive Director Bob Meyers.

“People got a taste of it, and there’s no question they want some more,” he said.

Assuming the snow clears out by the weekend with no major problems, ski areas in Massachusetts also were excited by the prospect of the first major snowstorm they’ve seen since October 2011.

Pat Buchanan

Republicans obsess over Israel & Iran If last week’s hearing for Chuck Hagel raised questions about his capacity to be secretary of defense, the show trial conducted by his inquisitors on the tribunal raised questions about the GOP. Is the Republican Party, as currently constituted, even capable of conducting a foreign policy befitting a world power? Or has it learned nothing and forgotten nothing since George W. Bush went home and the nation rejected John McCain for Barack Obama?

Consider the great foreign issues on the front burner today.

Will the Japan-China clash over islets in the South China Sea, now involving warplanes and warships circling each other, lead to a shooting war that could, because of our security treaty with Japan, drag in the United States?

Is China an economic rival and trade partner? Or is Beijing seeking strategic and military hegemony in East Asia and the Western Pacific?

Is engagement or containment of this emerging superpower the way to go?

Is Vladimir Putin’s Russia friend or foe? Has the “reset” failed?

How many troops should we leave in Afghanistan to prevent its receding into the Taliban darkness, as it did when the Red Army departed in 1989?

Is Iraq, where we lost 4,600 soldiers and 35,000 wounded in a misbegotten war to strip that country of WMD it did not have, about to disintegrate into civil, sectarian and ethnic war? After Bashar Assad falls, will Syria fall to Islamists — or fall apart?

Is Egypt’s military chief correct when he said that the violent eruptions after President Mohammed Morsi’s attempted seizure of dictatorial power could imperil the state itself?

Should the presence of al-Qaida in Mali cause the United States to deepen its military involvement in sub-Saharan Africa? Or does the rancid fruit of NATO’s intervention in Libya to save Benghazi, now an Islamist no man’s land for Westerners, argue for staying out?

Before going ahead with a sequester of Pentagon funds, ought we not first review and reduce the treaty commitments our military is required to honor, many dating back over half a century? All these issues were there to be discussed with Hagel.

Yet, according to Jim Lobe of Inter Press Service, who reviewed the transcript of Hagel’s eight hours of testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, there were more mentions of Israel, 178, than of Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, Palestine and Palestinians, North Korea, Syria, Pakistan, Egypt, China, NATO, Libya, Bahrain, Somalia, alQaida, Mali, Jordan, Turkey, Japan

and South Korea combined.

In the runup to the Hagel hearings, North Korea tested an intercontinental rocket and indicated a third nuclear bomb test may be imminent. Dictator Kim Jong Un said the “target” of these tests is that “sworn enemy of the Korean people,” the U.S.A. Yet North Korea was mentioned only 11 times in Hagel’s day-long testimony, while Iran was mentioned 170 times. But Iran has no missile that can reach the United States, has never tested a nuclear device or bomb, has no nuclear weapons program, according to the unanimous verdict of our 16 intelligence agencies, has never enriched uranium to weapons grade, and has all of its nuclear facilities under constant U.N. surveillance and inspection. Far from threatening America with nuclear fire like North Korea’s 20-something dictator, the Ayatollah Khamenei has declared a fatwa against Iran’s ever possessing atomic weapons.

This is no brief for a Tehran regime that is no friend of this country. But to suggest Iran cannot be contained as the nuclear-armed Soviet Union of Stalin and China of Mao were contained is absurd. Whom has Iran attacked in the 33 years since the old ayatollah came back from Paris, while Uncle Sam has attacked or invaded Grenada, Panama, Haiti, Libya twice, Iraq twice, Afghanistan and Serbia?

Query: What is behind this Republican preoccupation, bordering on obsession, with Israel and its nemesis Iran, to the near exclusion of other threats and dangers faced by our country all over a world that is a good bit larger than one small corner of the Middle East? Has Sheldon Adelson replaced Henry Kissinger as the eminence grise of the GOP? Sen. Lindsey Graham implied it was an outrage to suggest any senator may have been intimidated by an Israeli lobby that has on its wall the scalps of two chairmen of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: J.W. Fulbright and Charles Percy.

Who is Lindsey kidding?

Did Bibi Netanyahu, after dissing the U.S. president in the Oval Office, receive those 29 standing ovations at a joint session of Congress, thereby breaking Stalin’s all-time record before the Supreme Soviet, because Bibi gave one helluva speech? In this city, the Israeli lobby is regarded as right up there with the National Rifle Association as a crowd that rewards its friends and punishes its enemies, with this exception: Far more congressmen and senators are willing to stand up to the NRA than to defy AIPAC. Where there is no vision, the people perish. Where is the vision that Republicans had in the time of Reagan?

LETTERS Chief Carrier implemented a preventative maintenance program To the editor, This letter is in response to Kevin Leandro’s letter of February 5.

Kevin, did you not receive the toy fire truck or Texaco Chief fire helmet that you wanted as a child? Perhaps there was a traumatic incident involving a fire truck while hauling trash in Providence or Cranston, RI working for your dad. Your crusade against the Gilford Fire Department and all of it’s members has been shameless. You have made wild accusations of incompetence and intimidation. You’ve even claimed to have been physically assaulted in the lobby of Hannaford by a member of Gilford fire dept. When this non-incident was investigated and found to be completely false, you admitted to me that you “may have been mistaken”.

One of your most recent caustic e-mails (composed in the wee hours of the a.m.) refers to me as a fool, Chief Carrier as a liar, insulted Selectman O’Brien and attempted to belittle a man by describing him as a 400-pound mechanic. Do you even proof read your slanderous letters before pressing send?

Your most recent letter to the editor continues to malign the BOFE and the Fire Department, so let me clarify the true facts. We did not “let that truck sit for six months following March 21st town meeting”. The truck was taken to LRFA for repair April 13th per the voters will.

You also claim that had a new truck been ordered in March, it wouldn’t have been deliver for twelve months, despite our written commitment of “delivery in approximately 240 days.” This is now a moot issue because Engine 4 is soon to be returned to service following extensive repair by DPW and LRFA. Now on to Engine 2 and our current apparatus dilemma. Engine 2 was towed by a professional towing firm following a transmission issue and power loss. While being towed to a local repair facility damage did occur. The tow com-

pany has accepted responsibility and is willing to pay for the subsequent damage. The fault of this damage was the result of the tow operators and not Chief Carrier, as you have alleged.

Kevin, you also claim that a comprehensive preventative maintenance schedule does not exist within the department, but again you are wrong.

In conjunction with DPW this program has been implemented by Chief Carrier for nearly a year. The “major deficiency discovered by you and Mr. Labonte” (Jan. 17) was an inaudible minor air leak that did not manifest itself mechanically in any manner.

The repair was completed promptly

by DPW mechanics. Chief Carrier was certainly not “reluctant” and needed no “persuasion” to address this issue. I am honestly curious as to the real circumstances regarding your “discovery” while under the tanker. During the same impromptu visit/inspection (as a Budget Committee members) your conduct was reprehensible. Chief Carrier was sworn at more than once by Mr. Labonte and yet again called a liar by you, Mr. Leandro. All witnessed by the staff on duty. You often claim that “Pat and I are only trying to help the fire department”. . . really?

Despite your continued attempts at assasinating the character and integrity of Chief Carrier, he has remained committed to his duty to lead the men and women of his department and provide quality emergency services to the town and its residents. Gilford is fortunate to be served by a professional, extremely competent and compassionate fire rescue staff led by Chief Carrier.

PS - When I suggested listening to “the experts” regarding fire department apparatus, I am referring to both past and present administration and staff, not the BOFE. William Akerley, Chair Board of Fire Engineers - Gilford

Time for Sanbornton selectmen to establish insurance committee To the editor, With a budgeted amount of $329,000 for health insurance coverage for Sanbornton’s 24 employees next year, perhaps our Selectmen should be involved from day one in the insurance coverage negotiations with the insurance vendor. A good idea might

tee to work with the selectmen on this project. The way things are going, this budget item is nearing the half million dollar mark very quickly.

Sanbornton taxpayers what do you think ?

LETTERS Gunstock Inn pool is important to many; get out of the way

Conn. police have made it clear Bushmaster was used for killings

To the editor, A few years of poor weather conditions and a politically-destroyed economy has seriously damaged all tourist related businesses. The Gunstock Inn held on by savings, investments and gifts from many interested patrons, but finally those sources dried up and the bank took the property. Interested potential buyers, who would have been ideal for it, were turned away by the bank, which wanted a buyer with excessive (not just adequate) financial strength. Finally they have a buyer with great potential financing, and a wonderful helpful program.

From all I’ve heard, ALL in the town are strongly in favor of that, yet the usual government foot draggers are at it again, trying to show off their power to obstruct! In this case, TIME is very important!

The critical element is the POOL! Maybe the most important function of the inn is Martha McIntyre’s swim training and swim competition, which MUST be a continuing function. It seems that government “officials” have no concept of continuing education, since they long ago stopped learning and stagnated into a regulatory quagmire (ie, brain dead). But real life goes on, school goes on, and essential exercise MUST go on daily, not just at the whim of a vain government official!

They have a golden opportunity to help all in the town and region, and help those recovering from effects of injuries (or maybe just effects of aging like my spinal stenosis), and keep the ESSENTIAL. The fitness center and pool are needed (not just a whim) by

To the editor, “The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is,” said Winston Churchill and I pass this on to Adam Moon in Tilton, who asserts that I’ve been “duped by lies” and fallen for the “big lie”, though I don’t know what that is.

First, the Connecticut State Police have repeatedly stated that the Bushmaster rifle served as the main weapon in the Newtown school shooting. I direct anyone denying this to the State Police’s Jan. 18 news release which says, in part, “In previous press conferences, the Connecticut State Police clearly identified all of the weapons seized from the crime scene at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

To eliminate any confusion or misinformation, we will again describe and identify the weapons seized at the school crime scene.

Seized inside the school: #1. Bushmaster .223 caliber– model XM15-E2S rifle with high capacity 30 round clips #2. Glock 10 mm handgun #3. Sig-Sauer P226 9mm handgun Seized from suspect’s car in parking lot: #4. Izhmash Canta-12 12 gauge Shotgun” State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance also said, “There is no doubt that the rifle was used to kill 26 people in that school.”

But that’s the police and they may be part of the “big lie” (whatever that is). So I consulted Red State.com, the home of “Powerful Conservative Voices” where its editor, Erick Erickson, has an article titled, “Setting the Record Straight: Adam Lanza did use the Bushmaster

AR-15.”

Seems to me the only people denying that the assault rifle was used are the same ones who believe the whole thing was a made-up movie produced by the government to push its agenda.

But this is what I meant about nonsensical and sophomoric arguments. Really, facts don’t matter so let’s roll out mendacity and circular reasoning. If you, Mr. Moon, believe everyone has the right to own “military style weapons” and thereby see any attempt to regulate or reduce the existence of those weapons as a precursor to civil war, then where do we start the discussion? You now have gone straight to home invasions and the end of our republic (can you say fear mongering and slippery slope)?

Honestly, just tell me why civilians need these assault weapons that are modeled after military guns (only semiautomatic). The military doesn’t let trained soldiers take weapons home; why should civilians be able to? And, Mr. Moon, no one is calling for a blanket ban on guns. Again, it’s time to start looking objectively at the bigger picture — the gun industry has turned into a behemoth tied to the NRA with the sole interest of selling more and more guns, that have become more and more like something out of cartoon (a gun owner just told me about the new semi-automatic shotgun that can be “tricked out” with an extended magazine allowing for rapid fire without reloading; “It’d be heavy but you could get off 20-plus rounds,” he said).

So, Mr. Moon, there it is — the truth.

John M. Rodgers Moultonborough

express ones thoughts with respect.

That speaks volumes to the tone of the meeting. I understand we are talking about decisions that effect people’s lives in this difficult economy and it is challenging times. I hope the del-

egates and commissioners know the hard work we saw unfold at this meeting is greatly appreciated as is reaching an end goal of fiscal responsibility.

MANY area residents, many of whom are seriously suffering while the inn is closed. What part of PAIN don’t the planning board members understand? Sports programs, such as the swim team Martha directs so wonderfully, MUST be continuous, not subject to delays of mindless government obstructers. Are they really proud to have their names as the ones destroying essential programs?

As I heard it, the big regulatory problem is the weirdness of trying to separately define every tiny alteration of use. The proposed use is the SAME as that of an INN, rooms rented to people who need them! Why make an ass of yourself arguing over tiny details of the people using the rooms?

Who in the past dove into the personal details of the renter’s life to see if their life style met that of a weird mindless obstructionist regulator? I suspect that those problem makers on town boards are really worried that someone might uncover their use of drugs, or sex, or anything else they want to regulate, ALL of which is none of their business!

Why don’t you idiots come investigate me and my serious pain drug use (greatly increased since you shut down Gunstock Inn), and my sex habits (yes, still very important at 80 years old). No one has ever accused me of being sane, thus I really understand YOUR insanity!

LETTERS Purpose for having Board of Fire Engineers has clearly been lost To the editor, I’ve been reading all the hysteria about Gilford’s ongoing fire truck soap opera. Of course the Gilford Board of Fire Engineers, now the active political wing of the Fire Department, is making sure to keep the hysteria at a fever pitch.

The simple fact that it’s nearing voting day means the voter brow beatings are about to get worse. The politicians need to make sure the Gilford voters are taught a lesson for saying “no” to them.

Seeking out the weakest link, the Fire Engineers send Selectman John Obrien to do their bidding.

Like a Monday morning quarterback, John boldly explains the obvious and then deciding not to waste a good crisis, he takes shots at his political enemies. He begins by explaining why the selectmen voted to not support a new truck, by saying “we bought into it”. Now there’s the sign of a true leader! He continues by saying that 570 man hours and $70,000 has been “wasted” fixing the old truck. Let’s assume for a moment that his numbers are correct (though I’m told they are not). Rumor has it that the work that has been performed on the old fire truc, by the DPW, is exceptional and once the new pump is installed this could be the best truck in the fleet. The last time I checked, Gilford didn’t hire an extra DPW person to fix the truck and Gilford isn’t planning on getting rid of anybody at the DPW upon completion of this truck repair. Having a person at the DPW who regularly maintains the fleet of fire trucks is the best way to protect our investment and assure the trucks are ready when needed. If the out of pocket costs are only $70,000, then a significant savings has been realized over the cost of a new $450,000 truck.

We also came to realize during the public hearing process that no maintenance records have been kept on the fleet of fire trucks. The fire chief agreed this needed to be addressed and promised to establish a “maintenance log”.

However, sources say the fire chief has abandoned his promised to establish such a log. I would challenge Gilford resident Mark Corey to look into the maintenance log situation because it was he who stood tall in front of the doubters to defend the chief’s promise to fix this problem. You would think the Board of Fire Engineers would have an interest in seeing this promise through to protect the town’s investment and assure

the readiness of Gilford’s life safety vehicles however it appears there isn’t any political value in doing so. My guess is that everyone in the political realm is willing to give the chief a pass on creating such log. Holding Gilford’s bureaucrats accountable on their promises has never been “the Gilford way”.

A part of me was hoping the special ballot in September would have resulted in buying a new fire truck.

After all, in Gilford, the only way to end the constant drama is to just give them what they want. That said, I’m having a problem with the current news line being offered. To steal a famous phrase, I think their story requires a “willing suspension of disbelief”. There are just a few things that do not make sense. According to their own statements, if the special vote to buy a new truck had prevailed, they still wouldn’t have the new truck.

Of course, if the vote had prevailed, Bill Ackerly and John Obrien wouldn’t be berating the voters or the “savers”.

Instead, they would be working professionally to solve the problem of getting the front line attack pumper back in action, until the new fire truck arrived. The citizens of Gilford never would have heard a peep.

Many citizens of Gilford have often asked me why the Gilford Board of Fire Engineers exists. I would assume that at one time it was created to keep the politics out of the Fire Department’s business. If that is true then the purpose has clearly lost its way.

The board is simply another layer of politicians lobbying for the Fire Department. I think the fire chief would have done a better job of advocating for his own needs as opposed to a joint assault with the Board of Engineers. To the point, Mr. Ackerly incorrectly stated that the new fire truck should have been replaced in 2012 per the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).

The CIP plan is simply a guide to provide a long term picture of potentially large capital purchases that could cause large untimely jumps in the tax rate. Just because an item appears on the CIP list does not mean that it is automatically purchased. It simply means that it’s time to start talking about the disposition of the item. The fire truck is not the first item that wasn’t replaced on the CIP list, in years past. Distorting the function of the CIP list is just a glowing example see next page

Cost of health insurance & reduction in number of teacher aids are main topics at Inter-Lakes school budget hearing

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — A proposed $91,148 increase in health insurance costs due to implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the reduction in the number of paraeducators in the Inter-Lakes School District by six were the main topics of discussion at a public hearing on the school district’s $20,998,543 proposed operating budget for the 2013-2014 school year, held last night at Inter-Lakes High School.

School board member Howard Cunningham of Sandwich said that a oneyear collective bargaining agreement reached with the 80 members of the Inter-Lakes Support Staff Association will result in a net increase of approximately 3 percent in pay with each member receiving a 70 cent per hour increase, which coupled with a step increase amounts to a 90 cent an hour increase.

He said that the health care plan is designed to move the district toward compliance with a provision of the Affordable Care Act, which provides that the employees share of a health care plan the district provides can cost no more than 9.5 percent of that person’s salary.

The Matthew Thornton plan which the district approved would cost $8,766 and the cost would be shared 50-50 between the school district and the employee. He said that the district will apply $3,100 of the Flex Med plan currently offered to lower its costs, but he expects that there will be another significant increase in future years as the district moves to full compliance.

Cunningham said the one-year agreement buys the district time and avoids civil fines of up to $2,000 for every employee in the district for non-compliance or $3,000 for every employee who requests a health from preceding page of pushing a political agenda.

I would have been happy to add my signature to a petition Article to allow a vote on the elimination of the Board of Fire Engineers. Passing such an article would put the budgeting control of the Fire Department in the hands of the selectmen where it theo-

insurance subsidy.

He said that all of the rules for the Affordable Care Act have not yet been written so that limiting the collective bargaining agreement to one year gives the district more flexibility in the future.

Asked later by Steve Merrill about how health insurance costs would be shared in the future Cunningham said that the district might bear as much as 85 percent of the policy costs.

Karen Sticht asked if the school board had considered reducing the hours for employees to just under 30 hours per week so that it wouldn’t be liable for providing health insurance coverage Cunningham said ‘’we thought about our kids and decided that was too high a price.’’

Sticht said she would rather see people working and that ‘’$90,000 would pay for a lot of people.’’

The support association agreement is a separate warrant article which calls for spending $138,609 for the health insurance and wage increases.

Chris Mega questioned the board’s rationale for reducing the number of special education paraeducators at Inter-Lakes Elementary School from 22 to 18 while retaining two teachers and for replacing two regular paraeducators at the high school with a certified teacher in a learning lab classroom.

Superintendent of Schools Mary Ellen Ormond said that the switch was designed to provide instruction directly to those who need it the most and was supported by board member Jack Carty, who said that it is the teacher, not paraeducators, who are responsible for classroom learning.

The proposed budget is up by $526,761 over last year, with over half of that, $297,072 due to increased retirement system contributions. see next page

retically belongs. Unfortunately, with faux leaders like Selectman Obrien, we might as well take our chances with the Board of Fire Engineers.

Beside the point, what would Gilford do without the constant political drama?

Belknap County has been chosen to receive $14,231 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county.

The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from The Salvation Army; American Red Cross; United Jewish Communities; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA; and, United Way Worldwide. The Local Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country.

A Local Board will determine how the funds awarded to Belknap County are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area. The Local Board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds available under this phase of the program.

Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private voluntary non-profits or units of government, 2) have an accounting system, 3) practice non-discrimination, 4) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/ or shelter programs, and 5) if they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.

Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds can download the application from www.LRUW.org or contact Granite United Way, Central NH Region at (603) 524-6864 extension #1.

The deadline for applications to be received is noon, Friday, February 22, 2013.

GILFORD from page one men met and changed their recommendation to 3-to-0 against passage although it was the board who initially added it to the warrant.

Selectman Vice Chair Kevin Hayes told the meeting the warrant article was “housekeeping” and that its passage would make certain the office of Town Clerk-Tax Collector runs smoothly in the event that anything happened to the existing office holder.

Hayes also said he has no personal issues with Town Clerk-Tax Collector Denise Gonyer or her office and emphasized that it would be his position that if the article passes, the appointed Tax Collector would be the same person as the elected Town Clerk.

As to Juris’s request for minutes, Hayes said the discussions were held in a non-public session and the minutes were sealed because the discussions were personnel related.

Selectman John O’Brien said that his reason for wanting more control over at least the tax collector’s portion of the office was because a study commissioned by the board to determine if there was adequate personnel in the office said that the office does things that are not done in other towns.

He said those “extras” cost money and the selectmen have been trying to reduce the overall cost of government but are powerless to control the functions and duties of the Town ClerkTax Collector.

Gonyer said those “extras” were boat registrations that bring about $53,000 in annual revenue to the town.

There were also several attempts to amend the article, including a lengthy discussion prompted by Mark Corry and seconded by Budget Committee member Kevin Roy to change the wording such that the article would only go into effect if the current Town

Clerk-Tax Collector resigned, retired or lost the election.

After Moderator Peter Millham (Town Moderator Sandy McGonagle was ill and appointed Millham to run the meeting in her absence) held a private discussion with Town Counsel Robert Ciandella, they both explained that state law provides specifically for what happens should a town choose to split the position and the motion ran contrary to state law.

Corry and Roy withdrew their motion.

Budget Committee member David Horvath was successful in getting the language “following the example of many town throughout the state removed” removed after Gonyer said that no other towns in the state, to her knowledge, had ever split the two positions.

On the contrary, she said, towns have been combining them to save money.

Budget Committee member Dale Dormody said he felt there was inadequate public discussion about what he considered to be a very big change to the town government and asked if selectmen could and would remove the article from the warrant.

Millham and Ciadella both said an article cannot be removed, however, the board did vote unanimously not to recommend its passage, after the Deliberative Session ended.

Exluding those who had to be there — like department heads, committee members and media — about 50 residents attended last night’s session. There was little to no discussion about any of the other warrant articles except a petitioned Warrant Article 6 which would change the way the town administered the State Water Quality Protection Act. The primary sponsor of the article, Everett McLaughlin, said the article was flawed and because he couldn’t remove it from the warrant, asked that voters not support it.

from preceding page Other major increases are $175,513 for salaries and $46,0076 for health and dental costs.

The district will also vote on a warrant article which would allow it to unassigned general funds of up to 2.5 percent a year of the total budget in a fund balance to be used for emergencies or to reduce the tax rate. If the new state law were in effect for this

year’s budget the district would be able to retain up to $466,000.

Mark Billings asked if there was a limit on how much could be retained in the fund balance over time and was told that the state Department of Revenue Administration monitors the fund balance and recommends that it be no more than 10 percent of the total budget.

Fish & Game warns Derby participants of ice condition CONCORD — New Hampshire Fish and Game Department officials warn that this winter’s uneven temperatures and high winds have affected ice formation, particularly on the state’s larger lakes. The agency is urging those heading out onto the ice to exercise caution as they do so.

Music Festival sells CH property to Exeter developers MEREDITH — The New Hampshire Music Festival announced this week that it completed the sale of its Center Harbor property, the former site of the Red Hill Inn, in December.

They buyer was not announced but records at the Belknap County Registry of Deeds indicate the new owner is ERB College Road LLC, a company owned

by Exeter developers Elliott R. and Nancy Berkowitz.

The Music Festival purchased the property not only the serve as its headquarters but to host the construction of a concert theater. Last year, in the face of the effects of the lingering 2008 recession, the Festival instead reached agreement with Plymouth State University to have the college continue to host concerts at the Silver Center for the Arts and the Red Hill Inn property was put up for sale.

According to the registry, Berkowitz paid $525,000 for it.

Berkowitz was born in Brooklyn and spent 15 years with the narcotics division of the New York City Police Department. Today, he works with Nancy at their Pairpoint Group real estate development firm. They moved to New Hampshire in the early 1980s and have lived in Hampton Falls for 18 years.

The couple began acquiring property in downtown Exeter in 2004 and are credited with contributing to the revitalization of that town’s center district.

Berkowitz said yesterday that, “we have no definite plans for the property at this time.” He said that dumpsters are on-site and “we’re cleaning it up and patching leaks” to forestall any further deterioration of the buildings. He said that they intend to

survey the property.

To complete the sale, the Music Festival board worked with the Meredith Village Savings Bank, as well as Susan Bradley of Coldwell Banker. Festival Board Chairman Dick Hanaway credits Meredith Village Savings Bank for being a strong partner to the Music Festival through the process. “As a local business and bank, Meredith Village Savings worked hard to make this go smoothly for us. We are very thankful for their support and their continued investment in the community,” Hanaway said.

The Festival, which is in its 61st year, has refocused its mission, having renewed an alliance with PSU to offer a central and accessible musical venue.

Part of its approach is finding innovative ways to share music with audiences across New Hampshire.

“As we continue the Festival’s tradition of great music, we are focused on new opportunities while honoring our past,” said Hanaway. “The sale of the property allows the Festival to become more nimble and flexible as we create a workable model that responds to the challenges that organizations like ours have experienced in recent years.”

This year, the Festival welcomes Donato Cabrera, resident conductor of the San Francisco Symphony, as its sixth music director and conductor. For more information about our season, which starts July 6, 2013, visit www.nhmf.org or call 603-279-3300.

(Daily Sun reporters Gail Ober & Michael Kitch contributed to this story.)

ARRESTS from page one a.m. and most of the warrant stemmed from investigations conducted by the newly created drug unit at the Police Department.

Polce did not allege a connection between any of the 13 people arrested.

Arrested in yesterday morning’s sweep were Robert Rama, 20, of 72 Batchelder St. for one count of possession of marijuana; Ryan Tuckett, 32, of 328 South Main St. Apt. C for one count of possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute; and Betsy Page, 54, of 371 Union Ave #3 for one count of sales of a controlled drug, marijuana, in a school zone.

Also arrested was Ronald Steele, 19, of 111 Warren St. with one count of possession of marijuana; Bradley Swinton, 66, of one count of possession of a controlled drug, marijuana, with intent to distribute and Sarah Smith, 26, of 103 Blueberry Lane #24 for conspiracy to sell a narcotic drug — crack cocaine.

Stacey Gates, 37, of 24 Arlene Drive in Belmont was charged with one count of sale of a narcotic drug — heroin — and one count of criminal liability for conduct of another — aid in sale of heroin. Elisabeth Gates, 35, also of 24 Arlene Drive in Belmont was charged with one count of sale of a narcotic drug — heroin.

Kerry Defeo, 26, of 20 True Road in Meredith was charged with one count of transporting sales of a narcotic drug in a motor vehicle — oxycodone; Alisha Morgan, 32, of 296 New Hampton Road in Franklin was charged with three counts of sales of a narcotic drug — cocaine, and William Butler, 32, of 16 Drake Road in New Hampton was charged with one count of possession of heroin, one count of possession of Suboxen and one count of possession of Gabapentin.

Garrett Brue, 19, of 64 Summer St. in Laconia was charged with one count of conspiracy to sales of a narcotic drug — oxycodone and Nicholas Ross, 27, of 55 Hacket Hill Road in Belmont was charged with one count of sale of a narcotic drug — oxycodone.

All of the above were released on personal recognizance bail and given court dates.

“The Laconia Police Department will continue to aggressively investigate drug crimes in the city,” Clary said.

Lt. Richard Mann of the Belmont Police said he was glad to assist the Laconia Police and the other agencies involved in the investigations and arrests and his department will also continue to aggressively pursue drug activity in town.

NYHAN from page one dom,” Mary recalled. When she, Chip and Graham returned home from the emergency room later that night, their answering machine was full of wellwishes from the superintendent, athletic director, coaches, parents and friends. “The outpouring of support was almost overwhelming,” she said. “It confirmed for us our choice of having Graham return to his home school.”

Yesterday afternoon, in a room packed with coaches, teammates and high school staff, Graham formally signed his letter intent to attend Stonehill College, in Easton, Mass., where he will receive a partial scholarship to play football and a second partial scholarship to play baseball.

Nyhan said he plans to study either engineering or accounting at Stonehill, a school he decided to attend the moment he began his tour of campus. While he’s

excited to play on the college’s sports teams, he said one of the strongest factors in his decision was the academic opportunities. “Sports isn’t going to last forever, education will,” he said.

Graham is the child of educators; Mary teaches English at Inter-Lakes High School, Chip is a social studies teacher and coach at Moultonborough Academy.

Graham is the sixth Laconia athlete since 2007 to receive a significant athletic scholarship, according to football coach Craig Kozens. Kozens, as well as baseball coach Jon Myers, described Graham as a versatile player who could excel in nearly any position, as well as team captain who exhibited a relaxed, lead-by-example style.

Said Kozens, “We’re going to miss him, he’s a good athlete, a great role model for our young kids.”

CAT from page one votes for new tokens.

“I think there were a lot of cat lovers in the world that reached out and voted,” said Jonathan Berkowitz, vice president for Hasbro gaming marketing.

The Scottie Dog was the most popular of the classic tokens, and received 29 percent of the vote, the company said. The iron got the fewest votes and was kicked to the curb.

The results were not entirely surprising to animal lovers.

The Humane Society of the United States says on its website that there were more than 86 million cats living in U.S. homes, with 33 percent of households owning at least one feline in August 2011. Worldwide, there were an estimated 272 million cats in 194 countries in June 2008, according to Londonbased World Society for the Protection of Animals.

MAIL from page one 2 from a 2006 law forcing it to pay about $5.5 billion a year into future retiree health benefits, something no other agency does. Without that payment — $11.1 billion in a two-year installment last year — and related labor expenses, the mail agency sustained an operating loss of $2.4 billion for the past fiscal year, lower than the previous year.

Congress also has stymied the service’s efforts to close some post offices in small towns.

Under the new plan, mail would be delivered to homes and businesses only from Monday through Friday but would still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturdays. Post offices now open on Saturdays would remain open.

Over the past several years, the Postal Service has advocated shifting to a five-day delivery schedule for mail and packages — and it repeatedly but unsuccessfully has appealed to Congress to approve the move. An independent agency, the service gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is subject to congressional control.

The proposed change is based on what appears to be a legal loophole — and that may be a gamble.

Congress has long included a ban on five-day-only

delivery in its spending bills, but because the federal government is now operating under a temporary spending measure rather than an appropriations bill, Donahoe says it’s the agency’s interpretation that it can make the change itself.

“This is not like a ‘gotcha’ or anything like that,” he said. The agency essentially wants Congress to keep the ban out of any new spending bill after the temporary measure expires March 27.

Might Congress try to block the idea?

Two Republican lawmakers said they had sent a letter to leaders of the House and Senate in support of the elimination of Saturday mail. It’s “commonsense reform,” wrote Darrell Issa of California, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

But Alaska Democratic Sen. Mark Begich called it “bad news for Alaskans and small business owners” who he said need timely delivery to rural areas.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said she was disappointed, questioned the savings estimate and worried the loss of Saturday service might drive customers away.

OBITUARIES

James C. Rupert, 80

GILFORD — The Rev. James C. Rupert of Gilford, a Methodist minister, musician, sociology professor and businessman, died of cancer at his home on Feb. 2. Rupert, who was 80, moved to Gilford in 1980 with his wife, Faith, who taught English and theater for 16 years at Gilford High School.

Rupert was born in 1932 in Chelyan, a village in West Virginia coal-mining country. His father was an engineer for the electric company and his mother the local church organist. She played at the Sunday morning service hours before his birth.

After graduating from high school in Morgantown, WV, Rupert served in the U.S. Air Force from 1950 to 1955, serving most of that time in Germany.

In 1956, he married Faith Crowson in Charleston, WV and earned a bachelor’s degree there at Morris Harvey College.

Rupert was ordained a Methodist minister in 1963 after receiving his degree in divinity at Drew Theological Seminary in New Jersey. He served as the principal organist of the New Jersey conference of the Methodist church, performing works by Bach, Beethoven, Widor and others.

As a pastor, Rupert supported the 1960s civil rights movement, leading a church group to join the August 1963 March on Washington that included Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

In 1967, Rupert was the pastor at the main Methodist church in Salem, a small town in southernmost New Jersey. Amid the advances of the civil rights

movement, white supremacists burned crosses in the county to intimidate blacks and oppose racial integration.

Rupert worked with a few other prominent white citizens and the local NAACP chapter to lead public protests against the cross burnings. The following year, the church transferred him out of his job, and he soon after left the active ministry.

Rupert joined the faculty of New Jersey’s Gloucester County College to teach sociology. He received a master’s degree in education from Temple University in 1972.

Rupert sang as the tenor soloist in a Gloucester County College performance of Messiah by Handel.

In a local stage performance of The Sound of Music, he played the lead male role, as Capt. Georg Von Trapp.

In 1977, the Ruperts moved to Weirs Beach, NH to purchase and run the former Look Off Rock Motel on Scenic Drive. In the 1980s they moved to Liberty Hill Road in Gilford and joined the Gilford Community Church, where Rupert often preached and played the organ.

Rupert is survived by Faith, his wife of 57 years. He also is survived by three children – James Rupert of Falls Church, VA, Elizabeth Pilling of Gilford, and Mark Rupert of Boulder, CO — and by five grandchildren.

The Gilford Community Church will hold a memorial service on Saturday, Feb. 9, at 11 a.m. Memorial contributions may be made to the church, or to organizations supporting research on Alzheimer’s disease.

WENTWORTH, N.H. — Thelma Madeline Ramsdell, 79, formerly of Atwell Hill Road, died February 5, 2013, at Mountain Ridge Health Care Center, in Franklin.

Born in Windsor, Vermont on October 5, 1955, she was the daughter of Kenneth and Florence (Chase) Ramsdell. She grew up in Wentworth and graduated from Wentworth Schools and also from Orford High School, in Orford, NH. She resided in Wentworth of many years.

Thelma worked in several factories such as, the former Sprague Electric, in Plymouth and Tilton Electronics, in Tilton. She also worked as a LNA for various health care facilities such as; Coos County Nursing Home, Colebrook Hospital, Lakes Region Convalescent Care/Genesis, in Laconia, and private care.

Thelma enjoyed cooking, crafts, painting, the ocean, lighthouses, and loved her cats. She enjoyed being with her family and adored all her friends.

She was predeceased by her infant son, Bryon Cartwright.

Thelma is survived by her daughter, Darlene Smith and her husband Eugene, brother Richard Ramsdell and his wife Donna, grandchildren, Jason Smith and his wife Kate, Stanley Smith, great grandchildren, Brianna, Evan, Dustin, niece, Robin Ramsdell, nephew Stephen Ramsdell, great nieces and great nephews, Hannah Grace, Christopher, Lillian, Chelsey, and Ayden.

Calling hours will be held in the Mayhew Funeral Home, 12 Langdon St. Plymouth, on Sunday Feb. 10, from 3pm to 5pm. A funeral service will be held in the Wentworth Baptist Church, Cape Moonshine Road, on Monday Feb. 11, at 2pm. The Rev. Jeremy Cochran, pastor, will officiate.

Inns & Spa at Mill Falls unveils new brand ID

MEREDITH — The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls has announced it is transitioning to a new “Mill Falls at the Lake” name and has redesigned its logo, marking an evolution of the lakeside property and an increased variety of offerings on site for guests.

According to Rusty McLear, president and CEO of Mill Falls, the refreshed name and logo are rooted in the property’s proud history of being located in Meredith and they reflect a more accurate depiction of the Inns’ presence on the lake.

“We found that our guests, when they thought of coming to visit us, always thought of getting away to the lake, or relaxing on or near the lake, or enjoying the lake,” said McLear. “Over time, we have made changes to our logo as we have added more and more inns and properties to our location. But we perhaps overlooked the obvious selling feature of our place --the beautiful location directly on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. We weren’t telling our story as clearly as we could have been, and we believe this redesigned logo accurately reflects our desirable lakeside location, and graphically simplifies our name at the same time.”

Making an identity change is not something McLear, or his team at Mill Falls, took lightly. The newly designed logo is quite similar to the original look and maintains the Inn graphic and typeface, yet clearly highlights the new Mill Falls at the Lake name.

“This new look will serve us well into the future, and will allow for continued growth without having to change our logo every time we add an Inn or other feature,” said McLear. “We’ve evolved and grown a great deal over the last few years – including the newly constructed Lodges and the addition of the Lake Activity Center which is home to EKAL Lake Activities and Sacred Waters Yoga Studio. We recognized that our logo truly represents the heart and soul of our property, and serves as an emotional “token” to our guests.

We are delighted with the new look and name, and we expect our guests will continue to enjoy the luxurious accommodations and fine dining and activities – all by “the lake” –that they have come to expect from us.”

Guests can expect to see the new name and logo beginning in February.

Mill Falls at the Lake is located in the historic village of Meredith. The property includes four Inns; Mill Falls, Bay Point, Chase House and Church Landing as well as the Mill Falls Marketplace, Cascade Spa, Sacred Waters Yoga, EKAL Lake Activity Center and Meredith Gas Station.

Church Landing was voted one of the Top 25 Hotels for Best Relaxation/Spa in the U.S. by Trip Advisor, 2012; and 3rd Most Romantic Hotel in the U.S. by Trip Advisor, 2011. For more information, visit www.millfalls.com or call 800-622-6455.

LACONIA — The holidays are over, it’s bitter cold, and spring is weeks away, but there’s a party atmosphere at 50 Canal Street in downtown Laconia.

That’s because Melissa McCarthy, owner of The Studio, is a firm believer in any excuse for a party.

She calculated that this Saturday, February 9, marks 100 days since she opened her door on Canal Street so from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., there will be refreshments, live music and in-store specials to celebrate.

When a fire forced her to relocate in mid-October, McCarthy was delighted to be able to find a new location so quickly. “So many people have helped me out,” she marvels. “I don’t know how we did it, but I’m really grateful for all the support I’ve had.”

The Studio is quickly gaining a reputation for being a great place to browse for unusual gifts, and McCarthy is continuing her commitment to showing alternative art on the gallery wall. “Cornucopia:Redux” is showing through March 9; this is artist Reed Altemus’ exhibit of digital collage that was cut short at the old location. McCarthy notes that the new location has much better visibility, which means that the artists she exhibits get seen by more people.

The Studio is open at 50 Canal Street in Laconia Wednesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., other times by chance or appointment. For more information call 455-8008.

SEARLE and KATHLEEN M. SEARLE to SHARON FISCHER, dated August 12, 2005, recorded in the Belknap County Registry of Deeds in Book 2209, Page 125, amended by Mortgage Modification Agreement recorded in Book 2598, Page 472, and further amended by Second Mortgage Modification Agreement dated June 14, 2010, recorded in Book 2646, Page 397, and assigned to DENNIS WHITCHER, TRUSTEE OF THE SHARON FISCHER CHARITABLE REMAINDER UNITRUST, a New Hampshire Trust established by Trust Declaration dated May 11, 2011, by assignment dated May 11, 2011, recorded in Book 2706, Page 342, for breach of the conditions of the mortgage and for the purposes of foreclosing said mortgage, the Mortgagee will sell at PUBLIC AUCTION on 21 February 2013, at 2:00 PM at the property located at 543 Shore Drive, Laconia, Belknap County, New Hampshire.

A copy of the original Promissory Note and Mortgage may be examined by any interested person at the Patrick Wood Law Office, PLLC, 555 Main Street, Laconia, NH 03246, between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM during the business week.

To the Mortgagors, Charles E. Searle and Kathleen M. Searle, or any other person claiming a lien or encumbrance against the Mortgaged Premises: You are hereby notified that you have a right to petition the Superior Court for the county in which the Mortgaged Premises are situated, with service upon the Mortgagee, and upon such bond as the court may require, to enjoin the scheduled foreclosure sale. Failure to institute such petition and complete such service upon the Mortgagee conducting the sale prior to sale shall thereafter bar any action or right of action of the Mortgagor based on the validity of the foreclosure.

Terms of sale: To qualify to bid, bidders other than the Mortgagee must place $5,000.00 on deposit with the Mortgagee’s attorney, by certified check payable without endorsement to Patrick Wood Law Office, PLLC, Trust Account, or other form of payment acceptable to the Mortgagee prior to the commencement of the foreclosure sale. The deposits placed by unsuccessful bidders shall be returned to those bidders at the conclusion of the sale.

Mortgagee reserves the right to enter into back-up agreement(s) with unsuccessful bidders in the event the successful bidder does not complete the purchase of the property. A successful bidder will be required to execute a memorandum of foreclosure sale at the time and place of sale, and if the successful bidder shall refuse to sign the memorandum, that bidder’s deposit shall be retained by the Mortgagee. A copy of the memorandum shall be available for inspection prior to commencement of the foreclosure sale. The successful bidder shall be required to tender an additional deposit which, when added to the initial deposit, shall hereafter be referred to collectively as the “Deposit,” within ten (10) business days, time being of the essence, of the conclusion of the auction, so that the total Deposit amount held on behalf of the Mortgagee shall be equal to ten percent (10%) of the successful bid. The failure of the successful bidder to tender such additional deposit shall be a breach of the bidder’s obligations under the memorandum and will entitle the Mortgagee to all of its rights and remedies thereunder. The balance of the purchase price must be paid in full by the successful bidder in cash, wire transfer, or certified check on or before 3:00 p.m. on March 28, 2013. If the successful bidder fails to complete the purchase of the Mortgaged Premises on or before 3:00 p.m. on March 28, 2013, then the Mortgagee reserves the right to exercise all of its remedies as set forth in the memorandum, including without limitation, the right to retain the Deposit, in full, as reasonable liquidated damages, or, to proceed to sell the Mortgaged Premises to the next highest bidder. If the Deposit is retained for any reason, it shall become the property of the Mortgagee and shall not be required to be applied to the mortgage debt. Conveyance of the Mortgaged Premises shall be by Foreclosure Deed. The Foreclosure Deed shall be delivered to the successful bidder upon Mortgagee’s receipt of the balance of the purchase price.

Liens and Encumbrances: The Mortgaged Premises shall be sold and conveyed subject to any and all unpaid taxes, mortgages, liens and other encumbrances entitled to precedence over the mortgage.

Exclusion of Warranties: Except for warranties arising by operation of law, the conveyance of the Mortgaged Premises will be made by the Mortgagee and accepted by the successful bidder without any other express or implied representations or warranties whatsoever, including, without limitation, representations or warranties relating to title, possession or tenancies, condition of the Mortgaged Premises, construction or fitness for habitation, compliance with applicable state or local building or sanitary codes, recitation of acreage or hazardous waste at the Mortgaged Premises, or any implied or express warranties of any kind, including any warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose, the Mortgaged Premises being sold “AS IS” and “WHERE IS,” and shall be conveyed subject to the restrictive covenants and easements as are set forth in the deed from Paul L. Normandin, Executor of the Estate of Julie Upham, dated January 12, 2004, recorded in the Belknap County Registry of Deeds in Book 1993, Page 66.

Reservation of rights: The Mortgagee reserves the right to (1) cancel or continue the foreclosure sale to such subsequent date or dates as the Mortgagee may deem necessary or desirable; (2) bid on, assign its bid if it is the successful bidder, and/or purchase the Mortgaged Premises at the foreclosure sale; (3) reject any and all bids for the Mortgaged Premises, the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Premises being offered with reserve; (4) waive reading of this notice or any portion thereof at the foreclosure sale; and (5) amend or alter the terms of sale as stated in this notice by oral or written announcement made at any time before or during the foreclosure sale, and such changes or amendments shall be binding on all bidders.

Get Fuzzy

by Chad Carpenter

By Holiday Mathis ing it. You’re wise to go into every interaction knowing what you are and are not willing to part with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Once your basic needs are met, it’s easy to see everything else as bonus luck. You recognize the extras as treats instead of taking them for granted, and so your fortunes multiply.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll be in just the mood to entertain silly suggestions and ridiculous dares.

Also, you will find out that the friends you consider to be your best feel the same way about you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Avoid accepting someone else’s purpose as your own. Happiness is knowing your reasons. Happiness and satisfaction depend on your ability to answer this question: Why? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Success depends on many factors, but attitude is the most important one today.

Your uncanny ability to stay focused and flexible at the same time will help now, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The saying goes that you can never have too many friends. But beyond a certain number, how could you possibly spend time with them all? Keep reaching out to new people anyhow. You’ll do together what you couldn’t do alone.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 7). You’ll aim high and for reasons much larger than your own personal gain. This month will present a tough decision. Make things easy on yourself. Trying to be perfect is futile. You’ll be accepted and celebrated for being exactly who you are.

Invest in a hobby, and it pays you back.

July features a romantic proposal. Sagittarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 24, 3, 13 and 50.

TUNDRA

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Hopefully you’re not trying to hide or slip under the radar, because that won’t work out for you today. You’ll command the spaces you inhabit. Everyone will know where you are and respond in kind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). From time to time, you get so busy that you can’t watch your favorite shoes, read your magazines or talk to friends. Later, you’ll luxuriate in the resulting buildup of information and entertainment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If your outsides don’t match your insides, don’t worry; you’re not alone. Everyone pretends to some degree. It’s the way of all social animals. You will navigate the complexities of this behavior quite well today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The prospect of unpredictable interactions may scare you. Just know that your desire to control what happens is normal. Futile, but normal. Truly wonderful things will happen when you relax into an improvisational mode.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be in a staring contest with a metaphorical or actual blank page. The very fact that you can sense the eyeball of said page is proof that it’s not really blank, after all. There’s something inside it, awaiting your discovery.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be prone to impulsiveness and could channel this in an extremely positive way by putting yourself in low-risk situations that call for fast decisions -- like ordering food at a restaurant or picking out books at the library.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are givers, and there are takers. Some people you like very much fall into the “takers” category, and there is no deny-

THURSDAY PRIME TIME

Today is Thursday, Feb. 7, the 38th day of 2013. There are 327 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 7, 1943, during World War II, the government abruptly announced that rationing of shoes made with leather would go into effect in two days, limiting consumers to buying three pairs per person per year. (Rationing was lifted in October 1945.)

On this date: In 1795, the 11th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, dealing with states’ sovereign immunity, was ratified.

In 1812, author Charles Dickens was born in Landport, Portsmouth, England.

In 1904, a fire began in Baltimore that raged for about 30 hours and destroyed more than 1,500 buildings.

In 1948, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower resigned as Army chief of staff; he was succeeded by Gen. Omar Bradley.

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy imposed a full trade embargo on Cuba.

In 1971, women in Switzerland gained the right to vote through a national referendum, 12 years after a previous attempt failed.

In 1983, Elizabeth H. Dole was sworn in as the first female secretary of transportation by the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

In 1984, space shuttle Challenger astronauts Bruce McCandless II and Robert L. Stewart went on the first untethered space walk, which lasted nearly six hours.

In 1999, Jordan’s King Hussein died of cancer at age 63; he was succeeded by his eldest son, Abdullah.

Ten years ago: The government raised its terror threat level from yellow to “high risk” orange, warning of a growing possibility that alQaida would launch an attack against the United States to coincide with Muslim holy days. President George W. Bush courted the leaders of France and China in an uphill struggle to win U.N. backing for war with Iraq. Unidentified attackers bombed the exclusive El Nogal social club in Bogota, Colombia, killing 36 people and injuring 160 others.

Five years ago: John McCain effectively sealed the Republican presidential nomination as chief rival Mitt Romney suspended his campaign.

Fourteen refinery workers were killed in a sugar dust explosion in Port Wentworth, Ga. A gunman opened fire at a Kirkwood, Mo., council meeting, killing three city officials and two police officers before being fatally shot by law enforcement. In Los Angeles, a man who claimed responsibility for the deaths of three relatives opened fire on a SWAT unit, killing one officer; the gunman was killed by a police sniper.

One year ago: In a setback for Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum swept GOP caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado and a non-binding primary in Missouri.

Today’s Birthdays: Former Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., is 78. Comedy writer Robert Smigel (SMY’-guhl) is 53. Actor James Spader is 53.

Country singer Garth Brooks is 51. Rock musician David Bryan (Bon Jovi) is 51. Actor-comedian Eddie Izzard is 51. Actor-comedian Chris Rock is 48.

PSU faculty in recital at Silver Center Sunday PLYMOUTH — The Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance will host a faculty recital at 1 p.m. Sunday, February 10, in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center for the Arts on the Plymouth State University Campus.

There is no charge for Emily Jaworski, mezzo admission. soprano (Courtesy photo) Adjunct faculty Emily Jaworski, mezzo soprano and Eric Christopher Perry, tenor, will collaborate with pianist and Professor of Music Dan Perkins on a program of music

by American composers.

Jaworski is establishing a reputation for excellence in performances across New England. She is a passionate advocate of art songs and her love of research, dedication to musical details and commitment to text lead to unique and captivating programs. She was recently seen as Dorabella in Cosi fan Tutte, Idamante in Idomeneo and Aloes in Chabrier’s L’Etoile. She earned a Master of Music degree from Boston University and a Bachelor of Arts in music from Susquehanna University.

Jaworski will sing selections from Aaron Copland’s “Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson,” and “Two Love Songs” by Leonard Bernstein. The latter are English Translations of the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke entitled, “Extinguish My Eyes” and “When My Soul Touches Yours.”

Perry is consistently recognized for his thoughtful expression of words and effortless coloratura singing. He is highly active in oratorio, concert and bel canto operatic performance and was recently reviewed as “exuberant” and “sweetly sung” for his Boston solo debut of Bach’s “Mass in b minor” at historic Old South Church.

He made his professional singing debut at the Fredonia Bach and Beyond Festival, singing Monteverdi’s virtuosi duet Zefiro torna under the baton of Grant Cooper. In 2012 he made his first appearances with Boston Baroque under Martin Pearlman and Emmanuel Music’s Bach cantata series under Ryan Turner. He is a regular soloist and chorister at Trinity Episcopal in Copley Square in the city of Boston, under the direction of Richard Webster.

Perry will perform a song cycle, “Songs on Poems of Frank O’Hara” by Christopher Berg. He says the cycle’s text was “penned by the great poet of the New York School in the middle of the 20th century.” These poems are evocative of New York’s day-to-day characteristics. “The observant artist’s words are eloquently matched with Berg’s exciting and expansive piano parts,” Perry says.

Jaworski and Perry will also perform a selection of duets and solos from the musicals of Stephen Sondheim. Highlighted shows will include Merrily We Roll Along, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods and Follies.

Dan Perkins is professor of music and director of choral activities at Plymouth State University. He holds the degrees Doctor of Musical Arts and Master of Music from the University of Southern California, with secondary emphasis in collaborative piano; and Bachelor of Music in piano performance from Brigham Young University. He is music director and founder of the New Hampshire Master Chorale, and music director of the Manchester Choral Society. He is active as a guest conductor and clinician throughout the United States and abroad.

Free tickets for the faculty recital are available at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’m a teenager, and my friend told me he’s having suicidal thoughts. His dad is really hard on him, and I suspect he’s verbally abusive, as well.

He made me promise never to tell anyone and said he wouldn’t actually go through with these thoughts. But I don’t know what to do. Would it ruin him if I told someone? And who would I tell? I don’t want to make his home life even worse, and he might deny it if I mention it. Please help me.

-- Scared to Death Dear Scared: One should always take threats of suicide seriously. Your friend confided in you because he needed to talk about it, and you can encourage him to discuss his feelings.

Your compassion and support may help him resolve some issues and realize that whatever situation he is in doesn’t have to be permanent.

But if you believe he is showing signs of following through (getting prepared, giving things away), please talk to your parents, school counselor, a sympathetic teacher, your minister or any responsible adult, and urge your friend to seek professional help through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK. Dear Annie: I am a grandmother in my 60s. I was excited to learn about Facebook and start conversing with friends and relatives. I love seeing all of their pictures and videos and reading their statuses and comments. I always make comments and give compliments on their pictures, etc.

But is it wrong for me to be hurt and resentful when some of them completely ignore me in return? It is mainly the relatives who do this. These are the same people to whom I have sent checks in hard times and for every occasion, and it bothers me when I see that they comment to other friends, but act like I don’t exist.

I hate to say anything to them, because they would resent

me for it, but it hurts my feelings, and I don’t understand their behavior. They act as if it would cost them long-distance money to respond to me.

I believe you can find out a lot about people by friending them on Facebook. You discover which ones are really interested in you and which ones simply like to post pictures of themselves. It is so self-centered. What should I do? -- Hurt in Virginia Dear Hurt: Please don’t mistake Facebook for genuine friendship and a true relationship. It is simply a convenient way to keep track of others’ activities and life events and let them know about yours. Some people are considerate and responsive (like you), and others, less so. Your relatives, in particular, may think that their relationship with you is covered outside of Facebook and therefore doesn’t require the same degree of attentiveness online. It’s OK to ask when you see them in person, but we urge you not to take this too seriously.

We don’t believe it is anyone’s intent to hurt your feelings.

Dear Annie: This is about the letter from “A Long-Term Care Employee,” who urges family members to bring new clothing to residents in nursing homes.

In the past five years, my husband has been in three different nursing homes for rehab after a stroke and numerous falls. You learn not to bring “good” clothes because they disappear. Even with every article identified with a name tag, a hamper to put dirty clothes in and instructions that “family will do laundry,” the clothes go missing.

I visited my husband daily. Finding his missing clothes was an ongoing problem in each nursing home. I visited the lost and found department in one facility, and the amount of clothing there could have outfitted every one of the 102 residents.

Please don’t blame the family. We try. -- Royal Oak, Mich.
