Police say burglars called AAA when getaway car got stuck GILFORD — Police have arrested two people they say are responsible for a March 20 Foxborough Drive burglary by tracking them through a call they made to AAA to get them out of a ditch shortly after they allegedly fled the scene. A large amount of property was missing after the forced entry, including jewelry.

Police said the evidence they collected near the house indicated the getaway vehicle had likely see AAA page 12

GILFORD — Selectmen voted unanimously to tear down Kimball Castle and the nearby carriage house last night because the code enforcement officer said the buildings were no longer safe.

According to Town Administrator Scott Dunn, the roof of the carriage house has collapsed and the stone walls of the castle have bowed from years of moisture freezing and then thawing.

Dunn told selectmen in the update portion of the meeting that the documents he’s

GILFORD — Meeting last night at Patrick’s Pub & Eatery, some three dozen members of the Lakes Region Builders and Remodelers Association (LRBRA) unveiled their plans to build, landscape and decorate a 2,200-square foot, three bedroom home in Laconia, which will be sold to benefit the 32nd WLNH Children’s Auction in December.

Ed Darling, a 30-year veteran of the auction team, reminded the group of contractors, craftsmen and suppliers that “this will not be the first time we’ve sold a house,” explaining that the kindergarten pupils at Woodland Heights School contributed a gingerbread house that one year sold for $1,000. “The person who bought it donated it back to the auction and we sold it again for $120,” he remarked.

Bob Glassett of Pella Windows and Doors, treasurer of the LRBRA, declined to estimate the return to the auction, which would be the difference between the selling price of the home and the value of the non-donated labor and materials to build it. “I don’t know, but if it’s $5,000 it would be $5,000 than the auction didn’t have,” he said, prompting one of the members to say “we’ll do everything we can to make it much more.” see HOUSE page 11

Hermit who lived in Maine wild for 27 years caught raiding camp

ROME, Maine (AP) — A man who lived like a hermit for decades in a makeshift camp in the woods and may be responsible for more than 1,000 burglaries for food and other staples has been caught in a surveillance trap at a camp he treated as a “Walmart,” authorities said Wednesday.

Christopher Knight, 47, was arrested last week when he tripped a surveillance sensor set up by a game warden while stealing food from a camp for people with special needs in Rome, a town of about 1,000 whose population swells with the arrival of summer residents.

Authorities on Tuesday found the campsite where they believed Knight, known as the North Pond Hermit in local lore, has lived for 27 years.

Some residents say they’ve been aware of the hermit for years, often in connection with break-ins that have occurred. He was so well known to some summer see HERMIT page 9

Postal Service retreats from plan to end Saturday delivery WASHINGTON (AP) — The financially beleaguered Postal Service backpedaled on its plan to end Saturday mail delivery, conceding Wednesday that its gamble to compel congressional approval had failed.

With limited options for saving money, the governing board said the agency should reopen negotiations with unions to lower labor costs and consider raising mail prices.

Yet the board also said it’s not possible for the Postal Service to meet its goals for reduced spending without altering the

delivery schedule. Delaying “responsible changes,” the board said, only makes it more likely that the Postal Service “may become a burden” to taxpayers.

Congressional reaction was mixed, mirroring differences that have stalled a needed postal overhaul for some time.

Some lawmakers had urged the agency to forge ahead with its plan, while others had said it lacked the legal authority to do so.

The Postal Service said in February that it planned to switch to five-day-a-week

deliveries beginning in August for everything except packages as a way to hold down losses.

That announcement was risky. The agency was asking Congress to drop from spending legislation the longtime ban on five-day-only delivery.

Congress did not do that when it passed a spending measure last month.

Senators compromise on expanding background checks for gun buyers WASHINGTON (AP) — Conservative senators from both parties announced their support for expanding background checks for gun buyers Wednesday, giving a burst of momentum to advocates of stronger restrictions. But big questions remain about whether President Barack Obama can push significant gun controls through Congress.

The compromise between Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Patrick Toomey, R-Pa.,

boosted the chances that the Senate will agree to broaden required background checks, a step gun control groups laud as an effective way to keep weapons from criminals and the mentally ill. The senators are among the most conservative members of their parties, both have received “A’’ ratings from the National Rifle Association, and their endorsements could make it easier for hesitant colleagues to back the effort.

Gun control advocates still face opposi-

tion from many Republican senators and resistance from moderate Democrats, including several facing re-election next year in GOP-leaning states. In the Republican-run House, leaders have shown little enthusiasm for Obama’s ideas, making that chamber an even higher hurdle.

Under the agreement the two senators announced at the Capitol, background checks would be expanded to all for-profit see COMPROMISE page 10

Gunman holding Georgia firefighters killed; 4 hostages are OK SUWANEE, Ga. (AP) — A gunman who held four firefighters for hours in a suburban Atlanta home was shot dead by SWAT members and all the hostages are slightly injured but should be OK, authorities said Wednesday.

Minutes before the police announcement,

one big explosion followed by several smaller ones or gunshots were heard in the Suwanee neighborhood about 35 miles northeast of Atlanta. A SWAT officer was shot in the hand or arm, but should be fine, said Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Edwin Ritter.

The firefighters mainly suffered cuts and

bruises in the explosion that authorities used to distract the suspect before they rushed the house, said fire department Capt. Tommy Rutledge.

Ritter said the gunman, who has not been identified, demanded his power and see GEORGIA page 11

Where’s cop on the Wall Street beat?

Bankers gone wild! Let’s tally some of their crimes: JPMorgan Chase engaged in massive, systematic fraud to foreclose without cause or due process on innocent homeowners, tossing thousands of families into the streets.

Goldman Sachs profited by marketing an investment package that was designed to fail, collecting fat fees on each sale to unsuspecting investors who lost millions, while the bank also collected millions more from a side bet it made that, sure enough, its package would be a loser.

For years, HSBC has been butt deep in a swamp of despicable, illegal money-laundering schemes, willingly processing billions of dirty dollars for vicious drug cartels and peddlers of arms to terrorist forces at war with America.

Many more examples abound.

These are not poor saps desperately robbing a branch bank for a few hundred dollars, but criminal enterprises run by multimillionaire Wall Streeters who run in the finest social circles, are celebrated by the media and hobnob with the nation’s political elite.

Their corruption is complete; their crimes are documented. Yet, unlike sad-sack bank robbers, none of these Robbing Bankers have even been prosecuted, much less jailed.

In fact, as revealed on PBS’s “Frontline” program earlier this year, frustrated prosecutors who served in the Justice Department’s criminal division two years ago report that “when it came to Wall Street, there were no investigations going on.

There were no subpoenas, no document reviews, no wiretaps.”

Why is that? Where are the cops on the Wall Street beat?

Up in the suites, coddling the culprits, whom they know on a firstname basis. That’s because Attorney General Eric Holder and the chief of his criminal division, Lanny Breuer, have previously enjoyed lucrative careers as lawyers defending the very barons they’re now supposed to be prosecuting. Holder and Breuer both hail from the same Washington law firm, Covington & Burling, that specializes in representing corporate clients with legal issues at the Justice Department.

The moral here is clear: When engaged in high crimes, it literally pays to have friends in the highest places.

To transport them there, a secret cosmic door connects the parallel uni-

verses of Washington and Wall Street.

It’s not the proverbial revolving door, but a wide-open passageway for easy flow back and forth — reserved for those in the know.

Lanny Breuer is one definitely in the know, passing with impunity from the job of defending Wall Street wrongdoers in cases before the Justice Department to being the department’s chief prosecutor of Wall Street wrongdoing.

Four years ago, he left Covington & Burling, where he represented Wall Street clients, to head the criminal division of Justice. Dismissing criticism that his long service to Wall Street banksters created an inherent conflict of interest with his new duty to the public, Breuer insisted that he’d be a better prosecutor “because of my deep experience in the private sector.”

That claim would’ve proven more convincing had he brought even a single case against the Wall Street executives who’ve been publicly exposed as self-enriching perpetrators of widespread fraud and other destructive financial crimes. But, no, not one.

Why? Call me cynical, but perhaps because he was using his four years at Justice to pad his resume and enhance his value to Wall Street.

Protecting bankers from prosecution could be a good career move.

No surprise, then, that Breuer headed back through that cosmic door, rejoining Covington in a specially created position to expand its role in defending corporate clients charged with foreign bribery, money laundering, securities fraud and such.

“I’m a zealous advocate,” said the guy who studiously refrained from being a zealous prosecutor. “I look forward to being a zealous advocate for our clients again,” he added.

Sheesh, couldn’t he at least pretend to have some ethics? Instead, Lanny was relieved to be back on Wall Street’s side: “It’s my professional home,” he confessed.” Oh, did I mention that his starting salary at Covington will be $4 million a year?

LETTERS Dems again relying on rosy forecasts to balance the budget To the editor, The House Democrats clearly need help. Doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting a different result defines insanity but here we are . . .

Conservatives agree that our state budgeting works best when reasonable estimates of future revenue are made. The more conservative the guesses the better.

Two years ago the Republicans estimated revenue and as it looks now, with a few months left, the estimate will be within 1 percent of actual when this budget closes in June.

What seems not to be understood by the public is that, armed with conservative estimates of revenue, these Republicans agreed to spend every dime they reasonably expected to have. You can argue about where they spent it, but you can’t deny they spent it all. . . but no more.

In contrast, four years ago the majority-party Democrats tried budgeting backwards . . . they determined first where and how much they wanted to spend and only then determined it was necessary to raise 100 new taxes on

N.H. taxpayers (and still they came out 800 million dollars short). Guess what?

They are on track to doing it again!

The revenue estimates the Dems just approved last Wednesday are overblown and the spending has already increased by 10 percent over last year.

Our representatives, Leigh Webb and Joy Tilton, fell right in line with the lemming Democrats and voted “YES” to the increased spending by the way.

Sadly, only two things can happen. . . either the Dems raise (or downshift) taxes on all of us to cover their overspending or they will resort to borrowing, leaving us, once again, with a huge deficit to address. We can see already the House budget showing a $7 million downshift to our county taxes. Let’s hope we can rely on the sanity of the Senate.

Margaret Thatcher is credited with saying, “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” It seems The Iron Lady will be proven correct. We miss you already, Lady Thatcher.

Greg Hill Northfield

Commissioners were available but no questions were asked To the editor, I am sure that most readers of The Laconia Daily Sun are aware that the budget process at the county level has been contentious this year.

I disagreed with the process, as well as the result. I had hoped that with the budget complete, we could take a step back and allow the duly elected county commissioners to make sure that county services and county workers were supported in a responsible way despite the loss of resources.

I was deeply disappointed when I read Representative Worsman’s letter to the editor this week. The appropriate time for accusations and recriminations would have been during the budget process. We had many meetings, attended by all three commissioners, where motion after motion was made to reduce budget lines and almost no input from the commissioners was allowed. The commissioners offered to answer any and all questions, but were seldom allowed to speak.

To me, writing a letter to the editor laying out allegations of this nature

seems patently unfair. The commissioners were all re-elected in November, indicating to me that the county voters were satisfied with their service. I have known John Thomas, Ed Philpot and Steve Nadeau for many years, and while we do not see eye to eye on all issues, I have found all three to be responsible civil servants and men of high integrity.

Reasonable people can disagree without questioning the honesty and intent of the other’s actions. I am glad the Representative Worsman made the disclaimer at the end of her letter that her words did not represent the views of the entire delegation, because I certainly do not agree.

I hope that when the delegation meets with the commissioners next week, we will give the commissioners an opportunity to fully explain and defend the actions described by Representative Worsman. It is the right thing to do.

Get Ready for Spring

Something is amiss in Belknap Co., all meetings should be on TV To the editor, On April 8, 2013, the chairperson of the Belknap County Convention called the Executive Committee meeting to order. Nominations for a chairperson were solicited. Representative Tilton was nominated and elected.

The next two officers were elected. The first order of business was to agree on the date of the next meeting. However, Representative Tilton had tentatively set the 17th as the date and accordingly was posted on the county’s web page. This is problematic because only the “chairperson of the convention or the chairperson of the executive committee may call meetings of the executive committee”. Therefore, Representative Tilton was not the chairperson, which invalidates that notice.

Moreover the Executive Committee had no OFFICERS until the 8th of April, or it would not have had to vote for officers in the first instance, all actions prior too, have no validity.

The action regarding transfer funds regarding 2012 are void and the vote regarding borrowing is equally void.

Furthermore, two of the original committee members were not present.

It has not been reported where any Belknap County representatives has resigned, been impeached or deceased resulting in two vacancies. In the event a vacancy occurs, the provisions of RSA 24:2-b shall be followed. How could the makeup of this seven member board have changed without a vacancy?

Also, the 2013 County Event Calendar has listed a meeting for 17th of April, 2013 of the Commissioners at 7:30 a.m.. Then, a Delegation Executive Committee with commissioners at 4:30 p.m., then, a Delegation Meeting with COMMISSIONERS at 6 p.m.

The noticed agenda for that meeting only states; The Executive Committee will meet on Wednesday April 17th at 4:30 p.m. for the purposes of reviewing of the year to date expenditures against the full line item budget.

Then, a “full committee” meeting at 6

p.m. to receive information from the commissioners regarding a supplemental appropriation.

Who exactly will comprise the “full committee” meeting? One can only hope that this will be a quorum of the convention which is now being characterized as a “full committee”.

The newly elected chair on the 8th also asked several questions regarding the accounting of GRANTS. The administration stated that grant applications are applied for by a department head and approved by the commissioners.

Then, if the grant is awarded the money is deposited into a special, grant appropriation line item so the revenue equals the appropriation side of the budget “which must balance”.

The only known GRANT policy is one established by the commissioners as required by the federal investigators regarding JAG Grants. What is problematic is that RSA 24:14, makes it clear that it’s “The County CONVENTION may adopt a policy regarding the acceptance of grants”, not the COMMISSION. In this chapter, an appropriation means an amount of money authorized for a specified purpose by the legislative body.

What cannot be denied is that NO MONEY may be spent without an APPROPRIATION for a specific purpose — a line item budget. When has the CONVENTION held a supplemental appropriation public hearing regarding Grants? This very accounting principle was brought to the attention of the City of Laconia, and all grant applications are approved by the council, conditional on award, upon which a supplemental appropriation for the purpose take place.

Clearly, something is amiss in Belknap County. Its a shame these meetings are not broadcast on the Public Broadcast Channel like they were for the annual budget.

LETTERS Okay, so the American left misses Hugo Chavez terribly To the editor, On the heels of the perfume-scented eulogies for dictator Hugo Chavez, it appears we are about to be treated to a cinematic love-fest about the “Weather Underground”. No sooner did I catch my breath after absorbing Professor Cracrafts’ “it’s really America’s fault” apology for Che Guevara’s savage brutality toward the Cuban people, then the aging, Marxist killer couple turned college professors, William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, again assault my consciousness as I learn about this soon to be released movie.

Okay, so President Jimmy Carter and movie maker, Michael Moore miss Hugo terribly. Sean Penn thinks the United States’ citizens lost a friend they never knew they had. Oliver Stone mourns the loss of a great hero.

N.Y. Rep. Jose E. Sarrano effused, “Hugo Chavez was a leader who understood the needs of the poor”. All this for an evil dictator who censored the media, ignored human rights and despised his own Jewish people. The Venezuelan economy is in ruin, as the large population of poor citizens fight malnutrition while this sick socialist “redistributed” the wealth to his family to the tune of some $2 billion.

How is it that so many liberal progressives remain so attached to their social idealism, that even when it smacks up against human rights, freedom and democracy, they still cling tenaciously to their fantasy ideology?

Professor Cracraft only references Che Guevara as an Argentinian doctor who barely escaped Guatemala. The inference made was, he had every right to hate America. After all, the United States had the audacity to depose President Arbeny, a leftist Army officer who was nationalizing property of the United Fruit Company as well as big ranchers and farmers. This incensed Che who had become enamored in the “socialist experiment”. He subsequently

became an evil mass murdering, Lenin/ Marxist crusader who had many hundreds of Cuban citizens executed without a trial. Some of his other major accomplishments included (1) being the architect in bringing Cuba and the Soviet Union closer and (2) setting back the cause of Latin American democracy for decades — a huge tragedy for the central American continent.

Yet Steven Soderbergh’s 2008 movie, “Che” was termed “non-judgmental” by most movie critics. Translation, it is all a matter of ones’ opinion regarding Che’s goodness or wickedness. This is an example of that dreaded virus, “moral relativism”, which has infected our society. Apparently, Steven’s main source of research was gleaned from none other than Fidel Castro himself.

He of course being the paragon of virtue who repeatedly told the world, “Again I stress, I am not a Communist”.

Prior to that cinematic gem, we were treated to “The Motorcycle Diaries” in 2004. Produced by none other than Robert Redford, who is now apparently busy glamorizing 60’s era bomb throwers in his newest film making masterpiece. Seems romanticizing about a photogenic, sadistic killer only whet his appetite for more socialist style murderers. And you’ll love this, Mr. Redford’s objective sources for the “Diaries” were none other than Fidel and Che’s widow.

Has anyone in Hollywood written a script for a really deserving freedom fighter such as Felix Rodriguez? He was an unbelievably, courageous hero who has been heavily decorated. Death squads have been trying to murder him for over three decades. Oh wait, he has been a fearless, anti-communist freedom fighter which automatically disqualifies him. Hollywood will avoid such a story with the same fear and loathing that Democrats display while avoiding the concept of a small and fully functional government.

I had actually planned on commenting about the likely enshrinement of unrepentant, bomb throwing Bill Ayers and his lovely wife, Bernadine and the “Weather Underground” movie. It will have to wait for a future date, perhaps after the academy award nomination.

One man can only absorb so much bloviating, Bolshevik bull before being

blinded by bloody “red menace glorifying” balderdash. Special kudos to author, researcher Humberto Fontova and Christopher S. Brownwell, American Thinker contributor, for providing most of the informational background for this letter.

Russ Wiles Tilton

U.S. gun murder rates are inflated by urban center drug gangs To the editor, On Tuesday the 9th, James Veverka had a letter published here in which we have some common ground — at last. We can agree that no right is absolute, not speech, not a right to bear arms, not abortion, none of them.

Readers may wish to see another short letter printed this same day by Bill Taylor titled “Guns lovers are like pro lifers, don’t trust any restrictions.”

Mr. Taylor sums up these attitudes neatly in his brief, accurate letter.

James and I differ however when he states that the anti gun movement is not about taking away all guns. That readers, is exactly what the anti gun groups are about. Diane Feinstine a few weeks ago said on a TV show interview that “ f she had the 59 votes, it would be turn them in Mr. and Mrs. America.” Seldom does the anti gunner let these truths slip out; they prefer to take small bites out of our rights so as not to seem as radical as they really are. James also insists our founders couldn’t have meant the 2nd to apply to modern firearms. I ask, and why not? They applied the 2nd to what was then the highest level of their current technology so it is absolutely reasonable they would have expected future generations to apply it likewise, that is hardly naive James.

I’ll admit to being lost by the comments about hammers and hammer

controls. What is that all about? I can’t recall saying anything about hammers.

Bring up the murder rates of other countries with gun bans is misleading because first, individually their populations are much less then the U.S. and second, other kinds of crimes have doubled or tripled because of the bans.

Rape, assaults, burglaries and muggings have become endemic. I would also point out that our rates are greatly inflated because of the drug gangs in most of out major cities such as Detroit, Chicago, LA, NY, and Washington, just as examples. It’s interesting that these cities have among them the strongest gun control laws in the nation. The left loves to couch their proposals as “reasonable restrictions” but their idea of reasonable and mine are miles apart.

Currently there are many laws to control the abuse of firearms that the federal government chooses not to enforce and many, far too many, proposals that target law abiding citizens rather then criminals and crazes, that is just wrong.

Folks like James would rather punish the innocent then seen to be infringing on the “rights” of criminals and crazes I guess. Well as I have said before, progressives would rather have issues to run on then to actually fix any of the problems.

Kimball Castle on Lockes Hill in Gilford. (www.kimballcastle.com photo)

CASTLE from page one Lockes Hill, overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee, by Benjamin Ames Kimball, who was the president of the Concord & Montreal Railroad. The site noted that historians often compare it to a German castle located along the Rhine River.

The site says it took $50,000 and 100 Italian stone masons to build the castle with materials from England and Germany that were shipped via Boston to Gilford by railroad.

The castle stayed in the Kimball family until 1960 when the last heir died. Charlotte Kimball stipulated that the property never be used for commercial purposes and left instructions and several hundred thousand dollars to set up and maintain and nature preserve.

The preserve was never created and in 1981 the N.H. Attorney General took control of the building and offered it to the town if they could save the castle and create a preserve.

“In 1990, the town convinced the Attorney General that the best way to carry out the goals of Charlotte Kimball’s will was to remove the stipulation against commercial development on the land surrounding the castle and subdivide it off,” reads the Kimball Castle site.

“The Town then created the Locke’s Hill Nature Preserve on the remaining 260 acres and laid out hiking and skiing trails on it,” it continues.

Within the past 10 years, Dunn said the town sold the property to Historic Inns of New England, which in turn see next page

LHA looks for grant money to start process of making Stafford House more energy efficient LACONIA — The Laconia Housing Authority is planning to renovate and repair The Stafford House, also known as The Tavern, at the corner of Main Street and Church Street as well as to consider moving its headquarters from Sunrise Towers at 25 Union Avenue and converting the space to additional housing units.

The LHA is applying to the Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) for two Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) of $12,000 apiece, one to assess the condition and needs of The Stafford House and another to study the feasibility of relocating the agency’s offices.

Dick Weaver, executive director of the LHA, said yesterday that the last major investment in The Staf-

ford House, which contains 50 onebedroom and efficiency units occupied by low income tenants, was made in 1997 or 1998. He stressed that the building complies with all relevant codes. The primary aim of improvements, Weaver explained, will be to reduce the operating expenses of the building by making more efficient use of energy. “The bathrooms and kitchens are dated and there are leaking pipes,” he added.

Weaver said that if the grants are awarded and the studies completed the LHA would apply for CDBGs to fund the projects.

The City Council will hold public hearings on the grant applications when it meets on Monday, April 22 at 7 p.m.

GILFORD — A local man suffered non-life threatening injuries when the truck he was driving struck a tree on Henderson Road around 7:15 p.m.on Tuesday.

Officers Curtis Mailloux and Wesley deSousa arrived to find Todd Taylor, 41 of 350 Cherry Valley Road trapped inside his 2005 Ford F-350 pickup truck. According to their report, Taylor appeared to driving eastward on Henderson Road when the truck drifted across the westbound lane and

collided with a stand of trees. Using the Laws of Life, firefighter-EMTS from Gilford Fire-Rescue freed Taylor from the vehicle and transported him to Lakes Region General Hospital.

Henderson Road was closed for more than two-and-a-half hours while police investigated the accident.

Although the accident remains under investigation, according to police alcohol does not appear to have been a factor.

from preceding page sold it to David and Mary Jodoin for $117,500. The town in still being paid annually for the sale.

The 2012 Gilford on-line assessing site lists the owner as Kimball Castle Properties, LLC of Nashua, N.H. According to selectman’s minutes of a non-public session held November 14, 2012, selectmen “extinguished” the public easement upon affirma-

tion of the Kimball Wildlife Committee. Selectmen are the trustees of the Kimball Wildlife Committee.

Dunn said last night he estimated it would cost $25,000 to tear it down and that it was Jodion’s property. He also noted the Attorney General still has a vested interest in the property and he would give the letter of decision to him and to the Belknap County Superior Court.

City won’t permit occupancy of new lakefront home because it’s not sprinklered Matter now in Superior Court

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The owner of a $1 million new home on Wentworth Cove Road has filed suit against the city for denying an occupancy permit because the home does not have a sprinkler system.

John D. and Jacqueline Remington of Naples, Florida say the city erred in the denial because state law RSA 674:51-V says no municipality can enact “any ordinance, regulation code or administrative practice” that requires the installation of automatic fire suppression systems in any new or existing oneor two-family homes.

According to the suit, the state law that was passed in July of 2011 negates any local requirement that the Remingtons must install the system in their home on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Minutes of the Zoning Board of Adjustments said the appeal was filed after the Laconia Fire Department denied its portion of the certificate of occupancy application on September 19, 2012. The appeal of the decision went to the Zoning Board of Appeals because the city has no active City Building Code of Appeals and the fire chief and city manager denied the Remingtons a waiver.

According to attorney Rod Dyer, who represented the Remingtons at the ZBA, after not getting the waiver, an intern with his law firm (Wescott, Dyer, Fitzgerald and Nichols) researched the matter and learned the state law changed in 2012. He also noted there have been two decisions by the N.H. Legislature that sprinklers cannot be required on single family detached home.

Minutes of the ZBA meeting reflect the building permit was obtained in 2008 and contained a provision that sprinklers be installed. The builder told the ZBA he only saw the part of the permit that was nailed to the property and the actual permit went to the Remingtons in Florida.

He said the yellow or local copy didn’t have the sprinkler condition listed and he never saw the addendum that went to Florida. When asked by ZBA member Steve Bogert if he should have asked the owner about any addenda, Cartier said he goes by what’s on the inspection sheet and nothing about a sprinkler system was listed.

The builder told the board that construction began in 2009 and, when asked, reiterated he never saw the original permit. When asked if the city gave

all of the building permit information to the owner, Dyer said it had.

Cartier also told the board that the Fire Department did one inspection and didn’t say anything about the sprinkler system and all of the other inspections were done. He said former Code Enforcement Officer Jim VanValkenburgh did the inspection before he “buttoned-up” the site, and told him he was okay. He said nothing was mentioned about sprinkers.

Town Attorney Laura Spector-Morgan told the Planning Department that the almost 6,000-square-

foot house should have been built to the codes that were in place when the building permit was granted, which requires homes over 3,000-square-feet in area to be sprinklered.

After the public hearing, members of the ZBA discussed the waiver and agreed the fire chief was right in denying the waiver because it is the home owner’s responsibility to build a building to the codes as they existed when construction began.

Attorney Paul Fitzgerald filed the actual suit in Belknap County on March 18. As of Tuesday, the city had not filed a response

HERMIT from page 2 cottage owners that they left food out for him so he wouldn’t break in during the colder months, state Trooper Diane Vance said.

But others were hardly aware of the hermit living within their midst without detection since 1986.

“I was born in 1987. He was there before I was,” Rome resident Melissa Witham said outside her home.

Paul Anderson, a selectman in the town about 20 miles northwest of Augusta, acknowledged local

talk about a man living alone in the woods.

“I’ve lived in the town for 32 years, and I’ve never, ever met the guy,” Anderson said.

Attempts to reach people who might be Knight’s relatives were unsuccessful Wednesday. Officials said they had no information on whether Knight has an attorney. A message could not be left after hours for officials at the Kennebec County Jail in Augusta, where Knight was being held. see next page

Freudenberg-NOK working with Lakes Region Community College to fill talent/skills gap This is the second in a monthly series of columns about New Hampshire’s Advanced Manufacturing Partnerships in Education, aimed at increasing the highly skilled workforce through customized training and education programs.

Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies partners with Lakes Region Community College in the development of LRCC’s Advanced Manufacturing curriculum and through efforts like Pathways to Success, which connects educators and manufacturers to build robust programs to fill talent/skill gaps.

Freudenberg-NOK is headquartered in Plymouth, Mich., and has 23 facilities in America, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Malaysia. But New Hampshire is crucial for the company, as it’s home to five manufacturing plants that contribute to the company’s annual revenues of nearly $1 billion.

Freudenberg-NOK is a private company established in 1989 that employs 4,700 people and emphasizes people, innovation, leadership, community responsibility, customer service and longterm business stability.

When you drive a car, buy soda from a dispenser, watch the blades of a wind turbine turn or see construction equipment moving along a highway, chances are you’re seeing FreudenbergNOK’s products. It produces advanced sealing and elastomeric technologies for 32 market segments such as automotive, aerospace, appliance, pharmaceutical, diesel engine, agriculture, construction, heavy industry and alternate energy.

Here, we meet Lisa Byars, divisional human resources manager, FNST. Q: Describe a product you manufacture and the effect it has on consumers’ lives.

A: With our vast portfolio of advanced sealing and elastomeric technologies, you can be confident you are relying on our seals and gaskets to keep your products functioning. Our seals are found in everything from commercial airliners and recreational vehicles to safety equipment and heavy drilling machines.

FNST began working with GM engineers on

Jaskiel McDowell, CNC Milling Machinist at Freudenberg-NOK in Northfield, N.H., uses sophisticated equipment to manufacture precision metal components.

Chevy Volt technology nearly three years ago.

Today, hundreds of battery frame gaskets, valve stem seals, engine crankshaft seals , shock seals, transmission output seals, O-rings and other typical transmission components help drive its unique powertrain.

Lisa Byars is divisional FNST’s Manchester and human resources manBristol facilities played ager at Freudenberg-NOK significant roles in meeting Sealing Technologies in Volt requirements. North- Northfield, N.H. field supported them with the tooling and automation requirements for the project.

Q: What does the future have in store for the Freudenberg-NOK workforce?

A: Freudenberg-NOK has 1,000 employees and five sites in New Hampshire, Ashland, Bristol (2), Northfield and Manchester). We expect sales to increase in 2013 and to hire at least 75 people into positions from machine operators to engineers.

Like virtually every manufacturer in America, we face a shortage of talented people in the technical and engineering disciplines. We face competition to hire and retain the best and brightest machinists, toolmakers, maintenance technicians and process, product, chemical and manufacturing engineers. As the economy recovers and more companies seek these kinds of employees, programs like LRCC’s become critical in maintaining a pipeline of talented manufacturing candidates.

Q: How have you partnered with Lakes Region Community College to help build the workforce?

A: We help in the development of the school’s Advanced Manufacturing curriculum through collaboration on the Advisory Board and donation of equipment. This kind of collaboration is crucial in addressing current and future hiring needs.

We expect to work closely with LRCC in developing machinists and toolmakers for our Northfield location through a combination of LRCC courses and hands-on training in our facility.

Q: Who should choose a career in advanced manufacturing in New Hampshire?

A: Advanced manufacturing is a critical New Hampshire industry, making up 19 percent of the state’s economy and offering average annual total compensation of about $75,000. In the Lakes Region, advanced manufacturing employs over 4,000 people, 10 percent of our local employment base. The sector has evolved significantly over the last few decades and offers a tremendous platform for anyone seeking a challenging and rewarding career path. Those with strong mechanical aptitude and solid math and blueprint comprehension skills are ideal candidates. Individuals seeking a career in the technical or engineering disciplines would likely require an associate or bachelor’s degree.

from preceding page Knight’s living quarters in the woods included a tent covered by tarps suspended between trees, a bed, propane cooking stoves and a battery-run radio, which he used to keep up with the news and listen to talk radio and a rock station, authorities said.

Since vanishing from his Maine home for no apparent reason and setting up camp when he was about 19, Knight sustained himself on food stolen from dozens of cottages, but his favorite target was the Pine Tree Camp, where game warden Sgt. Terry Hughes, who’s been trying to nab Knight for years, set up a surveillance alarm, authorities said.

Knight was caught Tuesday as he left the camp’s kitchen freezer with a backpack full of food, they said.

“He used us like his local Walmart,” said Harvey Chesley, the camp’s facilities manager.

Ron Churchill, owner of Bear Spring Camps in Rome, said employees who maintain his camp’s lakeside cabins have seen the man thought to be the hermit in the past. Churchill said his business has lost propane containers to thefts, the latest of which were discovered Wednesday.

“I did an inventory this morning, and we’re missing two,” Churchill said.

Despite Maine’s harsh winters, during which temperatures sometimes struggle to get above 10 degrees for a week at a time, Knight stayed at his encampment and avoided making campfires so he wouldn’t be detected, and he used propane only for cooking, Hughes said. To stay warm, he would bundle himself in multiple sleeping bags, authorities said.

When arrested, Knight was clean-shaven and his hair was cut short, in contrast to the iconic hermit with a shaggy beard and long hair. He was still using his aviator-style eyeglasses from the 1980s.

“When we went to the site where he has been living, it only took a few minutes looking around and making observations such as ropes that were imbedded in the trees that had grown around them that he used to hold his tarps up, shoes that were under rocks that had been there for years, there was enough indication to me ... that he had been there for a lot of years,” said Hughes.

During questioning after his arrest, Knight said that the last verbal contact he had with another person was during the 1990s, Vance said.

“He passed somebody on a trail and just exchanged a common greeting of hello and that was the only conversation or human contact he’s had since he went into the woods in 1986,” Vance said.

The trooper said that the case of the North Pond hermit sometimes seemed a “myth” that might go unsolved and bringing it to a conclusion is “amazing.”

“I think it’s still sinking in,” Vance said. “I don’t think I will ever be involved in such an incident or case it this magnitude.”

Knight had been charged only with the Pine Tree Camp burglary, in which $238 worth of goods were taken, and was being held at the jail on $5,000 bail on burglary and theft charges.

Knight had attended a high school in Fairfield, about 20 miles away.

COMPROMISE from page 2 transactions including sales at gun shows and online, with records kept by licensed gun-dealers who would handle the paperwork. Exempted would be noncommercial transactions such as between relatives. Currently, the system applies only to sales by the country’s 55,000 federally licensed firearms dealers.

The agreement also contains provisions expanding firearms rights, and that concerns gun control supporters. Some restrictions on transporting guns across state lines would be eased, sellers would be shielded from lawsuits if the buyer passed a check but later used a firearm in a crime and gun dealers could conduct business in states where they don’t live.

“Truly the events at Newtown changed us all,” said Manchin, citing the Connecticut town where December’s murders of 20 first-graders and six educators propelled gun control to the top rank of national issues. “Americans on both sides of the debate can and must find common ground.”

Emotion, always prominent in the gun issue, cropped up late Wednesday when Manchin met with relatives of the Newtown victims in his Senate

GILMANTON — Local police made two separate drug arrests over the weekend, with each one involving a separate motor vehicle stop.

On Sunday at 10:27 a.m., police a car in which James M. Polito, 21, of 739 Province road was riding for an inspection violation.

During the officer’s discussion with the female driver and Polito, he learned there was an outstanding bench warrant for Polito’s arrest. While taking Polito into custody, the officer said Polito tried to discard a bag of marijuana and he was charged with one count of possession of a controlled drug.

On Monday at 4:16 p.m., an off-duty Alton Police officer called Gilmanton Police and told them he was driving behind a 2003 Volkswagen and he could see two females in the back seat using drugs.

He said he could see them “flicking the ashes” out of the window and he could smell marijuana coming from the car. Police stopped the car and charged Angela V. Chamberlain, 48, of Rochester with possession of drugs in a motor vehicle.

After a subsequent search of the car, police allegedly found marijuana and paraphernalia in it.

Both arrestees were released and are scheduled to appear in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division on May 16.

Red Sox lose record sellout streak & game to Orioles BOSTON (AP) — Manny Machado’s three-run homer capped a five-run ninth inning and gave the Baltimore Orioles an 8-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night.

The Red Sox had gone ahead 5-3 in the sixth on consecutive homers by Daniel Nava and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. But closer Joel Hanrahan couldn’t hold the lead on a night when their nearly 10-year home sellout streak ended after two seasons in which they missed the playoffs.

Chris Davis led off the ninth with his fifth homer.

Hanrahan (0-1) retired the next two batters, then allowed a single by Ryan Flaherty. Then he struggled with his control, walking Nolan Reimold and Nate McLouth to load the bases and throwing a wild pitch that brought pinch runner Alexi Casilla home with the tying run.

On the next pitch, Machado hit the ball over the Green Monster for his first homer. Jim Johnson pitched the ninth for his third save.

Darren O’Day (1-0) got the win.

The sellout streak began on May 15, 2003, lasted 820 games, including the postseason, and was the longest in major pro sports history. It broke the record of 814 set by the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers from 1977-95. Boston’s streak of 794 regular-season sellouts also is the longest in major pro sports history. The previous longest regular-season streak in major league baseball history was 455 set by the Cleveland Indians from 1995-2001.

Nava gave the Red Sox a 4-3 lead with his third homer in three games, an opposite-field shot over the Green Monster. Saltalamacchia followed with his first homer, a hard shot over the right-field fence.

POST OFFICE from page 2 of a new national delivery schedule for mail and package,” according to the board.

Disappointed but not wanting to disregard the law, the board directed the Postal Service to delay putting in place the new delivery schedule until Congress passes legislation that gives the agency “the authority to implement a financially appropriate and responsible delivery schedule.”

The board made the decision in a closed meeting Tuesday.

“This is good news for rural communities, businesses, seniors, veterans and others who depend on consistent and timely delivery of the mail,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. But GOP Rep. Darrell Issa of California, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, bemoaned the decision to back away from a “delivery schedule that polling indicates the American people understand and support.”

Postal officials said that to restore the service to longterm financial stability, the agency must have the flexibility to reduce costs and come up with new revenues.

“It is not possible for the Postal Service to meet significant cost reduction goals without changing its delivery schedule — any rational analysis of our current financial condition and business options leads to this conclusion,” the board statement said.

An independent agency, the service gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is subject

to congressional control. It lost nearly $16 billion last year — $11.1 billion of that due to a 2006 law Congress passed forcing it to pay into future retiree health benefits, something no other agency does.

“Given these extreme circumstances and the worsening financial condition of the Postal Service, the board has directed management to seek a reopening of negotiations with the postal unions and consultations with management associations to lower total workforce costs, and to take administrative actions necessary to reduce costs,” according to the statement. It offered no giving further details.

It said the board also asked management to look at further options to raise revenues, including a rate increase.

Fredric Rolando, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, called the idea of renegotiating labor contracts “insulting and unnecessary,” saying that suggestion “is yet another sign that the Postal Service needs new executive leadership.” He said Saturday delivery is critical to the Postal Service’s future.

“Losing this competitive advantage would not only reduce mail volume and revenue - sending the USPS on a death spiral - but also would disproportionately affect small businesses, the elderly, rural communities, the one-half of the public that pays bills by mail and the many millions who lack access to reliable Internet service. And it would cost tens of thousands of jobs,” Rolando said in a statement.

AAA from page one gotten stuck and the occupants had called a tow truck. A call to a local towing contractor revealed the occupants had indeed called AAA for held.

Thirty hours later, Belmont police located the vehicle in question and its two occupants — Gordon Potter, 34, of 281 North State Street in Concord (the N.H. State Prison) and Kerry Duggan, 27, of 15 Dakin St in Concord — were arrested.

During the subsequent search of the car, police

found a portion of the stolen jewelry.

Potter was charged with one count of felony burglary by prison officials. He is incarcerated, said police, for an unrelated parole violation. He was taken to Belknap County House of Corrections and will face a 4th circuit Court, Laconia Division judge today.

Duggan is being held on $1,000 cash bail and is charged with one count of felony criminal conduct of another. She is also scheduled to appear in court today.

Each year in the U.S. alone, approximately 42,000 individuals are newly diagnosed with oral cancer. Unfortunately at this time, the majority are found as late stage cancers, which accounts for the very high death rate; about half those diagnosed will not survive more than five years.

The good news is that a dentist or doctor can see or feel the precancerous tissue changes or an early cancer, finding it at the most curable stages. The examination will only take 3 minutes of your time. Studies show that HPV16, a sexually transferred virus, is the leading cause of oral cancer in the U.S. Now, the fastest growing segment of oral cancer patients are young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals. This is why everyone over the age of 18 should be screened annually.

The visual exam is simple, painless, and quick.

place where each one is played. The rhythms are polyrhythmic—made up of multiple, interlocking patterns of beats and silence. When music is played in West Africa, everyone is involved. There is no audience, only participants.’’

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis

This jealous force is actually complimenting you with the intensity of her attention, though it certainly won’t feel that way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your studies will lead you to people who teach you and open you in new ways. “You can’t do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.” -- Evan Esar AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll see new merit in what you do for others.

Your job is more than work; it’s a gift you give to the world. You gladly take the pay, but it’s not the reason you serve.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may look around and see a mess, but don’t stop there. Look even deeper into the potential future of the sloppily arranged elements.

Try to envision what art you might make of this.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 11). It’s a year of unusual pursuits through which you become more interesting to yourself and others. Attention will be lavished on you through the next four weeks. A bold move in your personal life might include some kind of training or a change in your appearance. July brings an influx of money. Capricorn and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 38, 29 and 6.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may slacken the reins and let the horse lead once in a while, but never release your grip completely. If the horse takes off and you’re not holding the reins, even the angels will be challenged to help you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are in touch with reality, but not bound to it.

Today you prefer to be a player on the stage. Pretending is fun, especially when you don’t take the character you’re portraying too seriously.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Boldness comes in many forms. You don’t usually think of a bold person as someone with tears in his eyes, but the one who is unafraid to show his feelings in action is the very definition of bold.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re ready for the task at hand, so trust yourself. The only mistake you could make is being unaware of what’s going on around you. Stay sharp, and you’ll respond brilliantly to your environment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When it’s time to be serious, tell the truth. When you’re trying to be funny, tell the truth. You’ll encounter both opportunities today. The humorous truth telling will be far more enjoyable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel like it all depends on you, and this will be true to a great extent. Though the whole group needs to work together for the best outcome, success will be unlikely without your contribution.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Approve of yourself. There are so many reasons to do so. Yes, you’re kind, giving and funny. But here’s an even bigger reason to approve: It will be impossible to get comfortable if you don’t.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Living consciously is hard work. When you pay attention to everything going on around you, integrating that sensory input takes a great deal of energy. That’s why you cherish your quiet time tonight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Does someone in your midst seem ready to pounce on your slightest transgression?

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 11, 2013— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, April 11, the 101st day of 2013. There are 264 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 11, 1913, Postmaster General Albert S. Burleson, during a meeting of President Woodrow Wilson’s Cabinet, proposed gradually segregating whites and blacks who worked for the Railway Mail Service, a policy which went into effect and spread to other agencies.

On this date: In 1689, William III and Mary II were crowned as joint sovereigns of Britain.

In 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht was signed, ending the War of the Spanish Succession.

In 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte abdicated as Emperor of the French and was banished to the island of Elba.

In 1921, Iowa became the first state to impose a cigarette tax, at 2 cents a package.

In 1945, during World War II, American soldiers liberated the notorious Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald in Germany.

In 1951, President Harry S. Truman relieved Gen. Douglas MacArthur of his commands in the Far East.

In 1953, Oveta Culp Hobby became the first Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.

In 1963, Pope John XXIII issued his final encyclical, “Pacem in Terris” — “Peace on Earth.”

In 1970, Apollo 13, with astronauts James A. Lovell, Fred W. Haise and Jack Swigert, blasted off on its ill-fated mission to the moon.

In 1979, Idi Amin was deposed as president of Uganda as rebels and exiles backed by Tanzanian (tan-zuh-NEE’-uhn) forces seized control.

In 1983, at the Academy Awards, “Gandhi” was named best picture; its star, Ben Kingsley, won best actor while Meryl Streep received the best actress Oscar for “Sophie’s Choice.”

In 1988, “The Last Emperor” won best picture at the Academy Awards ceremony; Cher won best actress for “Moonstruck,” Michael Douglas best actor for “Wall Street.”

Ten years ago: Ten of the main suspects in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole escaped from prison in Yemen. American troops took the northern Iraqi city of Mosul without a fight. In Cuba, three men convicted of hijacking a passenger ferry the previous week were executed by firing squad, a swift response by Fidel Castro’s government to a recent string of hijackings to the United States.

Five years ago: Group of Seven financial officials meeting in Washington pledged to strengthen their regulation of banks and other financial institutions while anxiously hoping the credit crisis in the United States would be a short one. French troops captured six pirates after the pirates released 30 hostages who were aboard the French luxury yacht Le Ponant when it was seized off Somalia’s coast.

One year ago: George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. A California prison panel denied parole to mass murderer Charles Manson in his 12th and probably final bid for freedom. A University of California task force said that UC Davis police should not have used pepper-spray on student demonstrators in an incident that prompted national outrage.

Page 20 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 11, 2013

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I work for a small family-owned company, and there are fewer than 10 employees. There is no office cleaning service. For years, one of the employees has been compensated for cleaning the building after hours. This person was recently promoted, but continues to be in charge of the cleaning. That’s the problem. For months now, the office has looked like a fraternity house. The trash is overflowing, dust is piling up, and dishes are left in the sink for a week or more.

The rumor mill has it that the promotion didn’t come with a large enough raise, so this person is now doing the bare minimum of cleaning out of spite. The other employees refuse to lift a finger because they feel the person being paid to do the cleaning is solely responsible.

I understand both sides, but at the end of the day, nothing is being done. I get mad at myself and at the person responsible every time I give in and clean up, but otherwise, the office is unpleasant and looks unprofessional. We have clients in daily, and some have commented on the condition of the office. This has caused me undue stress, but it doesn’t seem to bother the other employees, especially not the one who is supposedly cleaning.

We don’t have a human resources department, and I definitely can’t go to the person who is supposed to clean, because he is now my supervisor. Help! -- Dirty Mess in South Carolina Dear Dirty Mess: Surely your supervisor has a boss. That is the person you need to speak to. You don’t have to speculate on the reasons why the cleaning is not being done. Simply say the office is getting messy, clients have noticed, and you think the company might need additional help to clean up after hours. If they do nothing, your decision then is whether to let it pile up, continue picking up after everyone else or find another job.

Dear Annie: I believe it is cruel and unusual punishment for department stores, groceries, etc. to force their employees to stand up at all times. These employees are often elderly and need to work due to their financial situation.

What is wrong with placing a hip-high stool at each cash register where employees can at least park their rear ends while not busy? I believe employees would be more productive and lose less work due to backaches and sore feet.

If managers were forced to stand on their feet for eight hours a day, I believe stools would be brought in by the thousands. -- Germantown, Tenn.

Dear Germantown: We agree that standing on one’s feet all day can be debilitating, even with occasional breaks. We hope managers are reading this and paying attention. Thanks for your concern.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Father Who Can’t See His Child,” whose daughter, “Linda,” hasn’t spoken to him in 20 years, and he doesn’t know why.

She has to reconnect with her dad before it is too late. My husband died two weeks ago after a horrible battle with cancer. He tried for years to reconnect with his children in Canada. As their stepmom, I tried to let them know of his desperate need to be forgiven for “whatever” it was that caused them to stay away. They all knew he was dying. He cried through one short phone call from his daughter. He begged her to come see him, but it never happened. He came away from that phone call even more disappointed and depressed.

Our son and I watched him struggle in agony for the last two weeks of his life. He would not let go. He was waiting for those children to come and say goodbye. I beg that daughter, for her sake as well as his, to reconnect before it is too late. She won’t regret it. -- Grieving in Fort Myers
