LACONIA — After two hours of testimony, Judge Jim Carroll ruled yesterday the state could continue to prosecute a city man for allegedly assaulting another man who has since died.

Carroll said one charge of second degree assault for manifesting extreme indifference to the value of a human life can go forward against Jason Durgin, 37, formerly of 399 South Main St. Carroll also ruled there was no probable cause for the second theory of the crime because he has seen no medical testimony that Leo Lapierre’s alleged injuries included a cerebral hemorrhage as was alleged in a second complaint. see COurt page 11

Gadhafi taunts NATO: ‘You can’t kill me!’

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Taunting NATO, Moammar Gadhafi said Friday that he is alive despite a series of airstrikes and “in a place where you can’t get to and kill me.”

The defiant audio recording was broadcast after the Libyan government accused NATO of killing 11 Muslim clerics with an airstrike on a disputed eastern oil town.

Gadhafi had appeared on state TV but had not been heard speaking since a NATO attack on his Tripoli compound two weeks ago, which officials said killed one of his sons and three grandchildren. In a brief recording played Friday on Libyan TV, Gadhafi said he wanted to assure Libyans concerned about a strike this week on his compound in Tripoli.

“I tell the coward crusaders — I live in a place where you can’t get to and kill me,” he said. “I live in the hearts of millions.”

He referred to a NATO airstrike on Thursday that targeted his Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli, claiming it had killed “three innocent journalistcivilians.”

Hours after Gadhafi’s minute-long speech, the sound of four explosions — most likely a NATO strike — could be heard in Tripoli early Friday.

A Sophie’s Choice: Army will open spillway, flooding Cajun country to spare Baton Rouge & New Orleans

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– TOP OF THE NEWS––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

LAKE PROVIDENCE, La. (AP) — In an agonizing trade-off, Army engineers said they will open a key spillway along the bulging Mississippi River as early as Saturday and inundate thousands of homes and farms in Louisiana’s Cajun country to avert a potentially bigger disaster in Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

About 25,000 people and 11,000 structures could be in harm’s way when the gates on the Morganza spillway are unlocked for the first time in 38 years.

Opening the spillway will release a torrent that could submerge about 3,000

square miles under as much as 25 feet of water but take the pressure off the downstream levees protecting New Orleans, Baton Rouge and the numerous oil refineries and chemical plants along the lower reaches of the Mississippi.

Engineers feared that weeks of pressure on the levees could cause them to fail, swamping New Orleans under as much as 20 feet of water in a disaster that would have been much worse than Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Instead, the water will flow 20 miles south into the Atchafalaya River. From there it

will roll on to the Gulf of Mexico, flooding swamps and croplands. Morgan City, an oiland-seafood hub and a community of 12,000, shored up levees as a precaution.

The corps said it will open the gates when the river’s flow rate reaches a certain point, expected Saturday. But some people living in the threatened stretch of countryside — an area known for small farms, fish camps and a drawling French dialect — have already started fleeing for higher ground.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Rep. Ron Paul announced Friday that he will run for the GOP nomination for president in 2012, the third attempt for the man known on Capitol Hill as “Dr. No” for his enthusiasm for bashing runaway spending and government overreach.

“Time has come around to the point where the people are agreeing with much

of what I’ve been saying for 30 years. So, I think the time is right,” said the 75-yearold Paul, who first ran for president as a Libertarian in 1988.

Paul made his announcement in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” from New Hampshire, where he held a rally later Friday.

Three years ago, the former flight sur-

geon and outspoken critic of the Federal Reserve became an Internet sensation — and a prodigious fundraiser— when he made a spirited but doomed bid for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.

First elected to Congress in 1976, he is known for holding unconventional views while keeping a smile on his face, espoussee RON PAUL page 3

Key N.H. Senate committee making spending choices; corrections cut another $7M CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s Senate budget committee voted Friday to make deeper cuts to the corrections budget and to use the savings to restore funding for state troopers that the House has proposed to eliminate.

Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Morse said he didn’t see any other way to fund 38 trooper positions that otherwise would be cut than to trim other budgets, especially the corrections budget.

The committee voted to cut the corrections budget $7 million below the spending level set by the House and $13 million below Gov. John Lynch’s recommended spending level. Morse, R-Salem, noted the $102 million annual budget the committee adopted in the preliminary vote is a 2 percent increase above this year’s spending level and corrections is the only state agency to get an increase in the $10.2 billion budget for the two years beginning July 1.

“I don’t think we’re strangling them,” he said. “The only way I can fund safety and add back all those troopers is to go someplace else.”

Morse said the committee plans to give corrections the tools it needs to achieve the savings. That could

include privatizing some prison functions, such as pharmacy operations or nursing, he said.

Morse had proposed sending 600 inmates from the Concord prison to private facilities but prison officials said that would not save money. Morse said lawmakers need to work with Lynch, who also is exploring privatizing aspects of the prison’s operation. Lynch has not outlined what functions he hopes to privatize, but his office has said nothing could be accomplished in time to count the savings in the budget Morse’s committee is writing.

Morse also wants lawmakers to study the correction system and report their findings by November so the Legislature can make changes to the department.

“The reality is, that department can’t continue to grow and grow and grow” in costs,” he said.

The Senate has a June 2 deadline to vote on its version of the budget. That would give the Senate and House two weeks to negotiate a compromise under legislative rules.

The Senate Finance Committee hopes to wrap up most of its work in about 10 days. Morse said Friday’s decisions on agency budgets are open to revision.

In other preliminary decisions made Friday, the committee voted to restore $1.2 million to the attorney general’s office to restore funding for eight attorneys. The action also would restore the consumer protection bureau and ensure no criminal and environmental prosecutions are eliminated.

The committee voted to eliminate funding for the state’s Cannon Mountain ski area in the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2012, assuming the state will privatize its operations. Morse said the state can’t afford the capital investments needed to keep the area competitive.

The committee also voted to restore money for several small programs in the Department of Environmental Services, including the pool inspection and shellfish inspection programs.

Without the shellfish program to test the waters, New Hampshire’s aquaculture farmers, recreational clam diggers and others would no longer be allowed to harvest oysters, clams and mussels because the state would not meet federal sanitation guidelines.

The state’s lone public pool inspector works with local pool operators to avoid outbreaks of waterrelated illnesses.

RON PAUL from page 2 ing a sort of modern Republican populism.

The obstetrician has delivered more than 4,000 babies and is personally against abortion, but he doesn’t think the federal government should regulate it. That’s a function of state government, he says.

He has also said he wants to abolish the Internal Revenue Service, favors returning the United States

to the gold standard in monetary policy and wants the U.S out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Democrats have tried repeatedly to beat him in a congressional district that stretches from the outskirts of Corpus Christi to Galveston. But the independent swath of coastal Texas seems a good fit for the maverick doctor. He has 18 grandchildren, according to his website, and he and his wife of 54

FLOODING from page 2 the area, Gov. Bobby Jindal said. Shelters are ready to accept up to 4,800 evacuees, the governor said.

“Now’s the time to evacuate,” Jindal said. “Now’s the time for our people to execute their plans. That water’s coming.”

The Army Corps of Engineers employed a similar cities-first strategy earlier this month when it blew up a levee in Missouri — inundating an esti-

mated 200 square miles of farmland and damaging or destroying about 100 homes — to take the pressure off the levees protecting the town of Cairo, Ill., population 2,800.

With crop prices soaring, farmers along the lower Mississippi had been expecting a big year. But now many are facing ruin, with floodwaters swallowing up corn, cotton, rice and soybean fields.

years, Carol, are known widely in Paul’s district for the cookbooks they give away to supporters.

“The secret to his success is his authenticity,” said Democratic consultant Jeff Crosby, who grew up in Paul’s district. “He’s an authentic nut.”

Crosby, who worked to defeat Paul in 2006 — unsuccessfully — described the difficulty he had trying to persuade voters to reject what he thought were the candidate’s radical views.

“Just the mere fact that he does what he says he’s going to do, regardless of how nutty or ineffective it may be, they like it,” Crosby said. “A lot of folks along the coast have never expected much from government, and they’re getting it.”

Paul, a native of Pittsburgh, is both a spiritual father and actual father in the tea party movement. His son, tea party darling Rand Paul, won a Senate seat in Kentucky last year and has become an ardent proponent of spending cuts and smaller government.

Briarcrest marks 25 years of providing quality, affordable retirement living LACONIA — When Mark and Ruth Mooney broke ground for Briarcrest Estates 25 years ago their goal was to create a community which would provide a retirement experience for its residents that offered both quality and affordability.

“We wanted it to be affordable, so that’s why it’s a manufactured home community. And we wanted to offer a quality of life that would allow people some elbow room and give them something to look at besides other homes.

So we left a lot of trees, put in fewer sites than we could have, and landscaped it so that there would be plenty of green spaces,’’ says Mark.

But the Mooneys commitment to the future residents of Briarcrest went beyond the scenic setting of the 183acre site, which now has 241 homes and is located just off from Rte. 106 on the Laconia-Belmont town line.

One of their key considerations was maintaining the quality of life that they had promised to residents. They wanted Briarcrest to be a friendly, welcoming community, where people could get to know their neighbors, create new friendships and enjoy retirement living to the fullest.

To help bring people together they built a large two-story community center which features a meeting room on the top level which seats over 100 people and has a full-service kitchen. The first floor has a post office and library, where the latest in books are available for free to Briarcrest residents.

Today the community center serves as a focal point of the activities at Briarcrest. Weekly events such as bingo, card games and quilting classes are held at the center. There are also monthly luncheons, where residents gather to enjoy a meal and each other’s company. Special programs at the center help mark the holiday season.

The luncheons are popular with residents like Harvey Beetle, who along with his wife, Evelyn, have been Briarcrest residents for the last year and a half.

“We enjoy the luncheons. We’ve got to meet most of the people who live here at them,’’ says Harvey.

He says he and his wife enjoy the Lakes Region lifestyle and living near their sons, Jeff and Alan Beetle, who run the award-winning Patrick’s Pub & Eatery in Gilford, where Harvey sometimes entertains with his fellow Barbershop Quartet singers.

Originally from Braintree, Mass., the Beetles have longtime ties to New Hampshire’s Lakes Region and moved to a family property on Lake Winnisquam after Harvey retired from a career in the insurance industry in 1990.

When they were looking to downsize, they heard about the Briarcrest from a friend, Fran Guyer, whom Evelyn plays golf with and is a Briarcrest resident.

“We looked at other retirement communities, but they weren’t for us.

We’re active people and like to get outside and enjoy ourselves. We found the right place here and have the most beautiful view of the mountains,’’ says Evelyn.

Also important to the Mooneys is

the way in which Briarcrest is managed and maintained.

They play a hands-on role and personally see that the services they provide, such as lawn mowing, garbage pickup, snow removal and maintenance of the grounds and its five miles of roads are up to their standards.

Ruth is the on-site manager and her office door is always open to residents, while Mark, who has hands-on experience with construction and the operation of heavy equipment, directs the activities of Briarcrest employees in maintaining the property.

“At Briarcrest we have made a commitment to the people who live here that we’ll be there for them. We bend over backwards to find ways to help them and make life easier for them,’’ says Ruth.

Those efforts don’t go unnoticed.

“You feel safe here. It’s comfortable and everything is well taken care of.

They have a wonderful maintenance staff that is a big help to the people who live here,’’ says Peg Castiglione, a resident along with her husband, Angelo, since 1993.

A retired aerospace engineer from Methuen, Mass., Angelo says he was drawn to Briarcrest by what he saw while it was being built and was still mostly woods.

“I liked the concept of the manufactured home retirement community and the way it was handled. We drove through a lot during the construction and saw it being developed and liked what we saw. We checked out other places, but chose Briarcrest because it was a perfect fit for us. It’s a classy place,’’ says Castiglione.

Angelo, incidentally, is a big Boston Red Sox fan and enjoys watching the games on television as well as tuning them in on the radio and listening to his cousin, Red Sox radio announcer Joe Castiglione.

Buchholz leads Red Sox to 5-4 win in the Bronx NEW YORK (AP) — Clay Buchholz won his third straight start, Adrian Gonzalez and Kevin Youkilis homered, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Yankees 5-4 on Friday night as the struggling rivals met for the first time in New York this season.

Buchholz (4-3) was given an early lead but allowed Russell Martin’s tying, two-run homer in the fifth. Youkilis’ homer gave Boston a 5-2 lead in a three-run seventh.

With the Yankees threatening in the eighth, Daniel Bard got Jorge Posada to end the inning with a groundout on a 101 mph fastball.

Jonathan Papelbon finished for his sixth save in seven chances, ending career-high stretches of six games and 20 days without one. He allowed Curtis Granderson’s two-out RBI single before getting Mark Teixeira to pop out with the tying run on base.

Gonzalez homered leading off the fourth against Bartolo Colon (2-2), his fourth homer in three games, and he put the Red Sox ahead with a seventh-inning sacrifice fly off Joba Chamberlain. Youkilis reached out for a 98 mph fastball and powered it over the right-field scoreboard for a two-run homer.

Buchholz, 1-3 with a 6.25 ERA against the Yankees coming in, allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings, struck out seven and walked one.

Granderson tripled to the base of the left-field wall

off Bard in the eighth and scored on a wild pitch. Alex Rodriguez walked, Bard hit Robinson Cano on the left foot with a pitch, and the runners advanced on a double steal. Bard struck out Nick Swisher with a 99 mph fastball, then fell behind 3-0 to Posada before working it full and getting him on the fastest pitch of the night.

Boston (18-20) stopped a two-game skid and remained five games behind AL East-leading Tampa Bay. The Yankees, who dropped to 1-3 against the Red Sox on Friday the 13th, lost their third straight home game for the first time since Sept. 22-25 and dropped two games behind the Rays.

Boston started seven left-handed hitters against Colon, who entered with a .311 opponents’ batting average against lefties and a .238 against righties.

The 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner, who turns 38 on May 24, struck out Jacoby Ellsbury on a 96 mph fastball leading off the game.

Gonzalez’s eighth homer of the season, a drive into the second deck in right, put the Red Sox ahead.

Youkilis reached when Martin allowed a third strike to get by him for a passed ball and, after two walks, scored on Carl Crawford’s groundout.

Buchholz didn’t allow a hit until Rodriguez singled in the fourth, then gave up Martin’s homer to left-center, just above the glove of a leaping Ellsbury

WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) — Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge was approaching his postseason news conference when his cell phone rang.

He smiled and told reporters it was from his new coach, then ducked into the nearby workout room to take the call. But he was only half-joking: It was Doc Rivers calling, and he had just agreed to a fiveyear contract extension that would not only give him another run at a title with the current roster but keep him in Boston to help rebuild the franchise when the Big Three era is done.

“I think Doc is the best coach in the league. So it’s great for us,” Ainge said Friday at the team’s practice facility.

“There’s nobody I’d rather have as my coach than Doc.” Rivers contract was set to expire — he had an option for next season — and he said after the Celtics were eliminated by the Miami Heat on Wednesday night that he was “leaning heavily” toward coming back. But he was expected to return on a short-term deal to make one more run at a title with the Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.

“This is the nicest place around,’’ says Pat, who says that the one thing that she still misses from her days in the Nutmeg State is the smell of the ocean.

Other than that, she’s glad to have found Briarcrest. ``It’s wonderful here. We have a lot of nice friends who live in the park. And the people who

work here do just a wonderful job. They’re here for all of us,’’ she says.

Hugh, who worked with the Southern New England Telephone Group, says that he has no hesitation about telling his former co-workers about the retirement haven he and his wife found and inviting them to come visit and see for themselves.

“It’s a great place to live. We’re really happy here,’’ he says.

Frankly Speaking / Rep. Frank Guinta

A better way to budget your federal tax dollars I have learned an important lesson in the four months I’ve served as your U.S. Representative: Washington is broke and broken. I’ve told you before how we are financially broke, and what we are doing to change that. Now I want to tell you how Washington is broken, and what I’m doing to change that, also.

A Congressman quickly learns that an unwritten rule guides things on Capitol Hill: “That’s the way things work here.” For decades, Congress has clung to this tired old adage. When it comes to updating the way it operates, too many folks shrug their shoulders and say “That’s the way the Congress before us did it, and the Congress before that, and the Congress before that.”

But that approach doesn’t work anymore. You sent me here to shake up things. So let me tell you about an important bill that I am co-sponsoring that can make a big change in the way Capitol Hill operates.

As a member of the House Budget Committee, I helped craft the annual federal budget that’s now before Congress. Believe me, that process is badly in need of repair.

Almost every year since 1954, Congress has been forced to pass continuing resolutions to fund government spending beyond the end of the fiscal year (except in 1989, 1995 and 1997). In fact, since the 1974 Budget Act was passed, Congress has only met the deadline for completing its budget resolution just six times.

The annual rush to pass a budget has led to mistakes that border on sloppiness. For example, the Congressional Budget Office reports that in Fiscal Year 2010 alone, Congress appropriated $290.8-billion of your tax dollars for 250 statutes that had already expired.

We can’t afford waste any longer.

A change is not only necessary, it’s long overdue. Congress must follow the lead of what is being done at the state level.

Twenty state budgets, including ours here in New Hampshire, cover two years instead of one.

That approach would let Congress improve its oversight and make sure your tax dollars are being spent wisely. That is why I’m cosponsoring H.R. 114, the Biennial Budgeting and Appropriations Act of 2011.

There are advantages to budgeting two years at a time, and a payoff for taxpayers, too. Instead of going through the financial meat grinder every single year, a biennial budget would let us spend the second year going over federal spending with a fine tooth comb. That would both

save tax money and improve how the federal government operates.

Here’s a hypothetical example.

Let’s say the Agriculture Department’s budget request contains funding for several new programs to encourage more people to become farmers. Under the biennial budgeting process, Congress would spend the first year of each session crafting, debating and passing a twoyear spending plan. That would provide time in the second year for close scrutiny of exactly where your money is going. That scrutiny is really needed, too, because the federal budget is so large, money is too often wasted. Just a few weeks ago, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) identified 34 areas of duplicative or overlapping federal spending, which if reformed or eliminated, could save taxpayers several billion dollars annually. In our hypothetical example, the second year of the biennial budget process would let Congress closely scrutinize those farmer recruitment programs contained in Agriculture Department’s budget, and scrap those that are redundant or aren’t working.

A biennial budgeting process will change the dialogue from how federal agencies and programs annually scramble to secure funding to a thoughtful consideration how your tax dollars can be spent with accountability and efficiency.

It’s not enough to simply cut federal spending and rollback its recent overreach. We must make government work smarter, so that it can operate leanly, with less money, and still improve its effectiveness. That is why it makes sense for Washington to do what 20 states have already done, and start planning its budget two years at a time.

I look forward to reporting back to you in two weeks on the latest developments in Washington. In the meantime, if I can be of service to you, or if you want to share your thoughts, suggestions or concerns with me, please call either my district office in Manchester at (603) 641-9536 or my Washington office at (202) 225-5456, or contract me through my website at www.Guinta.

House.Gov. You can also follow what I’m doing 24/7 on Facebook at www. facebook.com/repfrankguinta and on Twitter at @RepFrankGuinta.

Until next time, please know that I am always on your side and am actively fighting for New Hampshire’s interests in Washington.

LETTERS There were no facts behind accusation of library ‘dirty laundry’ To the editor, I have a great deal of fondness for our state’s centuries long tradition of Town Meeting. But I think it’s fair to say that systematic fact discovery is not one of the strengths of this particular form of democracy.

Wednesday night’s Town Meeting in Sanbornton is a case in point. I write as the director of the town’s public library, with the full support of my Board of Trustees, to set the record straight concerning a remark made during the evening’s deliberations on the library budget.

A member of the Budget Committee, Jeff Jenkins, stated that he was reluctant to air “dirty laundry” concerning the library’s budget that had been uncovered during the course of his committee’s work. This unfortunate choice of words, unchallenged by any other member of the committee, left the deliberative body with the unmistakable impression that the library’s trustees and management had been unethical, or worse, in their handling of its finances.

Specifically, the library’s representatives were flatly accused of having made false statements concerning the return of unspent funds to the town. On the contrary, for the two previous fiscal years the library has indeed returned to the town unexpended funds, including earned interest: $1,548.07 for 2008-09, and $512.26 for 2009-10. (The former amount was subsequently paid to the library pursuant to a Warrant Article passed last spring.) Bank statements with check images are available for review at the library.

In 2005, the voters approved a library budget of $97,821. However, the Board of Trustees only requested

disbursement of $90,000, after it had become apparent that the library would not require the full amount that year. This action qualifies as a return of money to the Town just as much as a physical check cut to the Town.

An accusation of dishonesty is a very serious one and should never be made lightly. The trustees and I are dismayed that this member of the Budget Committee would make such an allegation in front of the entire community based on facts which are not only wrong, but also so easily refuted.

If Mr. Jenkins, or any other Budget Committee member, truly suspected questionable conduct, they had a duty to bring their concerns to the library’s attention well in advance of Town Meeting. We have the greatest respect for the vital work done by the committee and we would have gladly answered any and all of their questions, within the limits of the law, of course. Or if that prospect proved too daunting, a few minutes spent with the Budget Committee’s own extensive records, or with those at the Town Office, would have sufficed to provide the answer they sought.

There were other discussions about the library’s budget on Wednesday night where clarification might also be useful — the relative importance of libraries in tough economic times, and the library’s staffing needs and compensation practices, in particular.

But those clarifications can wait for another time. In the meantime, interested parties are again urged to bring their concerns directly to me or to any of the library’s trustees.

Fire can indeed cause the kind of collapse we saw at twin towers To the editor, Regarding the letter submitted to this paper by Derek Case from Belmont this Thursday the 12th. I guess I missed something in my physics class. But then that was a long time ago, perhaps the laws of physic’s have been amended or repealed but I don’t think so. Just for clarification, fire can weaken and melt steel, Derek. And

(jets full of fuel is a very fine way) it can indeed cause the kind of collapse we all saw.

Now before your next letter telling us the earth is flat, Elvis is alive, or some other wacky conspiracy theory please get some knowledge on the subject you choose to speak on.

LETTERS God is all powerful, all knowing . . . judging each man for his deeds

I was impressed that Rep. Bill Tobin stood up to defend YAP

To the editor, What is the Christian world view?

Contrary to the Humanist world view that denies the existence of God and God’s laws and also elevates reason to something that turns a God-given tool — reason — into idolatry and casts man as the ultimate judge of morality, and the chooser of what the future of our world will be.

The Christian view starts with God creating the heavens and the earth. He gave his heavenly ministers and man the agency of free will, that is that they could walk in obedience to Him or not.

A third of the Angels fell first along with their prince Satan. Man fell next while all of mankind were represented by the first two people created, Adam and Eve. God had also given man authority over the earth and when man sinned and disobeyed God, this gave Satan and his angels a foothold on the earth, that is through sinful man. Since these first two humans fell; all of us who have come after these have sinned in our own lives.

Man was created in God’s image with a spiritual aspect. This disobedience brought spiritual death and eventually physical death. God loved His creation so much that He promised to send man a Savior in the fullness of time. Then men grew exceedingly wicked and our Holy God destroyed every creature that lived on the land with the exception of Noah, Noah’s wife his three sons their wives and all of the animals that were gathered into the Ark. Several generations after this God saw the self will of Noah’s descendants, they were still one people at this time, and He confused their language and scattered them abroad. Thus we became many nations whom God fulfills His purpose through.

This next piece is my understanding — it is that the Lord, a generation or so after this, separated the continents — for I believe that they were still one continent until that

To the editor, Wednesday, May 11 evening, Sanbornton Town Meeting had its payattention moments. Warrant article 4, to fund Sanbornton’s share of the Youth Assistance Program, lost by 13 votes, cast in secret ballot. We also didn’t pass it in 2010. We learned that Franklin Savings Bank gave a grant last year to the program, to cover the loss of Sanbornton‘s 1/3 monetary support, but that they won’t again.

Sitting on the Budget Committee, but now taking her seat as Selectman, Karen Ober promised that Belknap County has services like YAP’s, that we pay for already with our county tax bill. Let us hope she keeps track of our new interaction with such countyprovided youth service and can report on it next Town Meeting.

I was impressed that Rep. Bill Tobin was the first to stand at the mic and support YAP. He spoke of being a Republican in Concord and cutting and cutting, but, he said, “This is not a program to cut.” Bill said, “You can cut your automobile costs by not changing the oil, but in the long run you’ll have a bigger bill for your car than what

time. Then God chose Abraham Isaac and Jacob, who was the father of the nation of Israel, of whom the promised Messiah was to come from the tribe of Judah. Jesus, the promised Messiah, was born in Bethlehem. He was conceived in the virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit. When Jesus reached about the age of 30, He began teaching as to what God the Father and the kingdom of Heaven is like, performing many miracles and healing all the sick people that were brought to Him. His ministry lasted about three years after which He, God’s Son or God the Son if you prefer, in obedience to God the Father’s plan, gave His life on the cross, as an offering to appease the anger of God the Father for our sins.

This sacrifice works for the benefit for all who will repent of their sins and come to the Father as He is, for because of what Jesus did on the cross, God the Father will forgive our sins. This Jesus descended into Hell and on the third day He Arose. He is now seated at the right hand of God, where He makes intercession for His saints. This Jesus who has showed us how to live, who has also gone before us to prepare a place in heaven for those who will receive Him and follow Him, also has shown us what things must take place and what will be the signs of the end of this age, and what will be the politics at that time. Then the Lord will return “ on the clouds of the sky with great power and great glory.” This is Scripture and Scripture cannot be broken.

God is all powerful, all knowing, He is omnipresent, He is Holy, always righteous and judges each man according to his deeds. His desire, because of His great love for us, is for all to come to Him through Jesus Christ. Yet all will not come. In Him is life. Choose life.

I pledge to keep service levels high & lower your electric bills To the editor, My name is Harry Viens and I am running for re-election to a full three year term on the board of the New Hampshire Electric Co-op (NHEC).

My candidacy rests on one principle: “Members Come First” and while I was serving on the board this past year members came first in three big ways: — First, kilowatt hour rates have been reduced – the co-op is now priced below PSNH. — Second, average outage time from storms was been reduced significantly.

— Third, member equity grew and the co-op is on sound financial ground.

If re-elected I will continue to work relentlessly to: — Reduce your monthly electric bill — Personally reach out to you to understand your needs and wants.

— Assure members continuous access to reasonably priced electricity.

— Employ renewable energy sources to minimize the cost impact of any Federally mandated cap & trade schemes.

— Keep service levels high and response times fast so members are not left in the dark.

I ask you to please give me your support so I can continue to work on your behalf.

I am a hands-on entrepreneur with proven skills managing businesses in highly competitive environments. My clients have included private and public companies such as Honeywell, Hubbell, Black & Decker; Cookson Electronics, Konica, and Beretta as well as utilities such as Yankee Energy, United Illuminating, and Verizon Wireless. I am a member of the Center Harbor Conservation Commission, Energy Committee and Chairman of the Planning Board as well as a member of the Lakes Region Conservation Trust Lands Committee.

Please vote for me so I can continue to work for you! Also take a minute to tell me what’s on your mind. Call my cell 203-641-3446 anytime or e-mail me: hviens@earthlink.net. Thank You! Harry Viens Center Harbor

you saved.”

We were so caught up in the amendment to give the library money for a new part-time staffer, that we overlooked the dollars difference between the Budget Committee and the selectmen for “sanitation.” We’d heard outgoing Selectman Livernois, at the recent candidates’ night, say the town needs to discuss, “probably at Town Meeting,” what kind of service we want at the Transfer Station. Going to single-stream may or may not mean that we keep or add an employee, to shed light on the selectmen‘s higher figure there.

Moderator Liz Merry took us through the process in fine time, so that we were finished by 10:30. Thank you to all who came, paid attention, exercised their vote. Thank you to the auxiliary to the fire department for adding cups of fresh-cut fruit to their items. Thank you to the Conservation Commission for having an information display in the entry hall, and thank you to Sanbornton Historical Society for their table there, too.

If I’m ethically superior its because I don’t disrespect others To the editor, Mr. Earle, I thought long and hard before I sat down to pen this response to your letter, where you jumped all over me for having an opinion and voicing it. As did others. My issue was the use of racist signs and words not politics! It concerns me that people took my words and wove them into something they weren’t.

I only stated what could be backed up. TV news stations showed and talked about the signs being used in tea party rally’s. Newspapers carried pictures of the same. To be totally objective I am sure some people at the rally’s were not receptive to the signs either. The e-mail and picture I spoke about was also shown on TV stations and in the newspapers. I am sorry that what I spoke of was done at the tea party rally’s and by a woman who is a self-proclaimed tea party activist.

Those are facts that can’t be disputed.

As far as I am concerned it doesn’t matter at all what party you belong to because this is simply wrong.

We teach our children that it is wrong to make fun of people or ridicule people. We teach our children not to call other people names. We teach our children to show respect for other people. But then we have some adults doing this. I don’t see how this is portraying a good example to children.

Maybe this is one of those “do as I say, not as I do” instances.

You said I saw myself as morally superior. Well I am in no way superior to any other human on the fact of this earth. And if I am ethically superior, to use your words, it’s because I don’t call people names, ridicule people or disrespect other people, well I can live with you calling me that.

What I do not understand is why you, and others, are defending these actions and trying to justify them. I have no intention to continue any further with this. I do not have to, nor will I, justify my belief that these tactics are just plain wrong and disgusting.

Wife’s forced to pay 80% of regular union dues & she’s not member To the editor, Governor Lynch vetoed right-towork legislation, just as he said he would (HB-474). You’re welcome, organized labor! Your governor loves you! And, he does OWE you, so, here you go! He said there’s no evidence that this legislation will offer any benefits to New Hampshire’s economy or workers.

Well, I can think of one benefit actually, for us at least. My wife and I don’t have “His and Her” money. I’m a factory worker in Belmont. She’s a part-time school nurse. She loves her profession and her job. Neither she nor I want anything to do with the union she is forced to participate in (the NEA). Forced? Well, of course, they haven’t made her join. This is

particular — Live Free or Die! No, she doesn’t have to join. But she still has to pay the dues. She’s not a member so not the full dues, of course — just 80-percent. We probably won’t miss, or would have realized any “benefit”, to the few hundred dollars or so it takes out of our family budget this year.

So, Governor Lynch’s “Thank You/ Get Well Soon” card to the 11-percent of N.H. workers that are unionized — by far the vast majority of them municipal employees — came out of my, and the other 89-percent of the population’s pocket. No one will work any harder, within my meager skills and means, to make sure I thank him in 2012.

Dear Constituents / State Senator Jeanie Forrester

Building a responsible budget the raises no new taxes or fees One of the committees I was assigned to back in January was Senate Finance. As the only freshman Senator on the committee of seven very experienced senators, I feel fortunate to have been given the opportunity to serve.

The Senate Finance Committee’s goal is to create a responsible budget that lives within our means and raises no new taxes or fees. This goal is significant given that we face a nearly $900-million budget deficit, but I believe it is achievable.

For the past several weeks, the committee has been meeting with the departments and agencies in state government. We’ve been meeting on Mondays and Fridays, usually starting at 9 a.m. and ending in the late afternoon.

Depending on which department is presenting, Room 103 in the Statehouse can be fairly empty (as with the Bureau of Tax & Land Appeals) or packed with standing room only (as with the Department of Health and Human Services).

Attending these hearings are lobbyists, department personnel, legislators, concerned citizens, and staff from the Legislative Budget Assistant Office. Most times there are reporters in the room and sometimes video cameras.

Agency presentations can be as short as 15 minutes or as long as an hour. Information presented is fairly straightforward and it gives the Finance Committee the opportunity to ask questions, suggest cuts, and consider requests for budget changes from the department.

On Friday of last week we heard presentations from the Department of Justice (aka Attorney General), the Department of Environmental Services, the Department of Resources and Economic Development, and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Space restrictions don’t allow me to discuss all the cuts that were made in each of these departments, so I will briefly discuss a few that received support and concern from my constituents.

DHHS is New Hampshire’s largest agency, with close to a $700-million budget. This department saw significant budget cuts, both in the governor and House budgets. One program that was cut in the House budget was ServiceLink, which is a statewide network of locally administered community-based resources for seniors, adults with disabilities and their families. (To learn more about ServiceLink visit www.ServiceLink.org.)

The Department of Justice also experienced cuts including the proposed elimination of 18 employees in the governor’s budget and 34 employees in the House budget.

Eight of the 34 employees included attorneys, which are appointed posi-

tions. By law, appointed positions must be allowed to complete their term of office (in this case, 5-year terms). If the positions are eliminated, the state could face lawsuits.

During the review of the Department of Resources and Economic Development (DRED), we discussed the 16 welcome centers that are on our turnpikes, interstates, and state highways. The centers are currently managed by the Department of Transportation, but are proposed to be transferred to DRED for improvements and management.

Also proposed is the elimination of eight welcome centers.

In discussing how to make improvements at these locations and how we might save the eight centers scheduled for elimination, we learned that different laws apply, depending on where the welcome centers are located (e.g., turnpike, state highway, or interstate). For instance, you can’t have a McDonald’s Restaurant on a state highway (e.g. the Rumney Welcome Center is on a state highway). I have confidence in DRED Commissioner Bald’s expertise and expect we will see great improvements.

Senate Finance also heard testimony from the Department of Environmental Services. Cuts to this budget included the elimination of the Lakes & Rivers Management, the Volunteer Rivers Assessment Program and the Volunteer Lakes Assessment Program which spend nearly $800,000 over the biennium.

The Commissioner came back to the committee with a plan that proposed a nearly 50-perecent reduction in the cost of these programs in an effort to save them.

This week, Senate Finance began voting on each department’s budget.

This will continue through the week of May 16 and I am told to expect many long nights!

We are faced with some hard choices — just like in our own households, we must prioritize, choose the needs versus the wants, create reforms where possible, and make responsible cuts.

It won’t be easy, especially since we learned that the governor is projecting a $47-million deficit at the end of this biennium (June 30, 2011), which will surely impact the 2012-21013 budget, as the governor works to balance the end of this year.

Combine this with a major shortfall in revenue in April, and there isn’t a lot of optimism for dramatically increased revenue in the next two years even as we expect, and hope, the economy to recover.

With all that said, Senate Finance is committed to balancing the 20122013 budget in a way that is responsible and gets our state’s fiscal house in order.

LETTERS Constitution doesn’t provide for revolution against government To the editor, As a “history buff,” I find it simultaneously ironic, amusing, sad, and scary that 11 member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives from Belknap County supported a bill that affirms a state’s right to “nullify” or disregard federal law and policy. I find this especially ironic since we just commemorated the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the American Civil War at the Battle of Fort Sumter.

But, I find it sad that the many in the New Hampshire legislature support such a measure. It almost disrespects the memory of the disproportionately high (for a relatively small state) number of New Hampshire citizens who fought and died to preserve the Union.

Prior the Civil War, nullification was a legitimate Constitutional question, discussed on all sides. In fact, the idea originated, not in the South, but rather at the Federalist Party’s Hartford Convention of 1814 where the New England states seriously talked about withdrawing from the

Union. However, the question was pretty much decided by the Civil War and ultimately, by subsequent U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

While the Constitution’s Tenth Amendment does “reserve” certain functions to the states, it does not say that federal and state functions do not change and evolve over time. In any case, in its Supremacy Clause as well as in other provisions, the U.S. Constitution is clear that any rights and powers reserved to the states are ultimately subordinate to the Constitution and Federal Law. There are proper spheres for federal, state, and local governments.

When disputes do occur, it is for the judicial system to mediate. The Constitution does not provide for rebellion against the national government.

The people elected the current legislature to improve the state’s economy and to help create jobs. The legislators were not elected to re-fight the American Civil War. E. Scott Cracraft Gilford

Thanks for helping with BHS Senior Community Service Day To the editor, We would like to publicly express our thanks to Principal Russ Holden, Vice Principal Dan Clary and the seniors, teachers and staff and community volunteers who participated in Belmont High School’s Senior Community Service Day. They all gave a really big boost to Belmont’s Penstock Park project and to the overall goal of revitalizing downtown Belmont.

They all — including principals and teachers — did a lot of hard, dirty physical work and accomplished a great deal last Saturday, May 7, in cleaning up roadsides, clearing out underbrush and debris all along the river bank and preparing the planting beds for Penstock Park. Their hard work really made a difference. The Belmont Revitalization Committee, the Selectmen and other Town officials and the Belmont Conservation Commission are all very appreciative of what they did.

Due to the amount of work they all got done and the amount of progress

made, we are now hoping to get at least some of the benches installed at Penstock Park and to have them dedicated right after the Memorial Day activities on May 30th. Thanks to their hard work, there is momentum to get the park done by the end of this year and to continue working on the riverwalk and pavilion near the Belmont Mill.

Many thanks to all. We would love to have this become an annual event where students can perform a day of community service and continue to make progress on projects such as the pavilion, a footbridge over the Tioga River, informational kiosks and trails along the river and in the Town Forests. There is much to be done and they all can continue to make a big difference.

Again, our sincere thanks to all of them for the work they put into organizing, supporting and working on this day of service to help our community.

June 30 is deadline for applying for state property tax relief To the editor, It’s that time of the year again to remind readers of their opportunity to file for the N.H. State Low and Moderate Income Homeowners Property Tax Relief using Form DP-8 which must be filed no earlier than May 1, 2011 and no later than June 30, 2011. Since the forms are no longer automatically mailed to property taxpayers who have filed in the past, it is most important that eligible homeowner taxpayers be alerted this year. So many are still not aware of this relief.

Briefly, an eligible claimant is a person who is owns a homestead subject to the state education property tax; has resided in such homestead on April 1 of the year for which the claim for relief is made; has a total adjusted gross household income of (1) $20,000 or less if a single person or (2) $40,000 or less if married or head of a New

Hampshire household.

You will need your final property tax bill for MAP and lot number, homestead location and net assessed value, as defined in RSA 76:1-a, and a copy of your federal tax return for each claimant and all adult members of the claimant’s household for the corresponding period.

DP-8 forms may be found at local town offices, online at http://www. nh.gov/revenue/forms/By_Number/ documents/dp_8.pdf, or contacting (603) 271-2191. Completed forms are sent to: NH Dept of Revenue Administration, Document Processing Division, PO Box 299, Concord, NH 03302-0299.

If all else fails, give me a call at 5247683 and I’ll forward the form to you.

LETTERS Why are we giving so much money to countries that hate us?

To the editor, I would like to know why our government is giving so many countries that hate us so much money while we go down the tubes? What are these idiots thinking? They give one billion dollars to Pakistan, not counting all the other countries we are sending money to. Remember, on top of that they hate us. What is wrong with these people that do not see the hand writing on the wall? We can’t get out of our own mess. We should take care of us at home first. How many Countries are we sending money to? A lot, that’s how many.

Meanwhile, we are on the brink of double dip inflation, while they do NOTHING. They are real good at screwing everyone and everything up. They may be pulling the wool over some peoples eyes. Most of us sees what is going on. STOP giving out our hard earned tax money to countries that HATE us. What do they think they are accomplishing? Just putting us deeper in debt. Close the doors to anyone else that wants to come to AMERICA until we take care of what is here, like the AMERICAN people.

Wherever the troops have been in other countries since wars began, place them where needed, which is our borders and not let these immigrants in that are depleting AMERICA! I am sorry if some people are too blind to see the truth of what is happening. The media is no help. They just make things worse and are brain washing anyone who is watching the stupid news in our days. I refuse to watch the news. They tell us only what they are told to tell us. The real truth is never told. So why do people watch the news? I guess brain washing works!

As far as bin Laden goes, they should have dumped him in the ocean without a sheet. After what he did you give him a Muslim burial? You have got to be kidding. I like Bev’s idea of him being dropped from a high rise.

That is what scum like him deserves.

We are not the super power anymore!

Wake up AMERICA before it is too late!

GOD BLESS AMERICA, OUR COUNTRY, AND ALL OF US! Anna DeRose Moultonborough

Forced unionization gives union bosses a lot of political power To the editor, Most Americans oppose forced unionization.

Forcing workers to pay tribute to earn a living is slavery, it is immoral and un-American.

Voluntary unionization makes unions compete, putting workers’ interests first.

Forced unionization puts worker interests below the interests of union bosses and politicians.

Are American workers smart enough to negotiate for themselves or choose their negotiators? Of course!

But, forced unionization gives union bosses and politicians power that they don’t want to lose. They trade campaign support for pro-union legislation and increased government

spending. This conspiracy against the interests of constituents is corruption.

Across America jobs and wealth are moving from states which force unionization to states where workers are free to unionize or not, i.e., Right-toWork states. The results are usually stable employment, good wages, and increased worker opportunities.

One action NH’s Republican led legislature took to help workers and bring jobs to New Hampshire was to pass a Right-to-Work law. This law puts the interests of workers, employers, taxpayers, and New Hampshire citizens ahead of the interests of union bosses and politicians.

Government can no longer do what churches should be doing To the editor, The time has come for our churches to no longer be spectators, but to speak out about what is happening to our country and our state. Our country was founded by godly men of all faiths and on godly principals. We cannot have a Judea Christian nation when those we elect to serve do not believe in Judea Christian values.

For too long churches has believed the lie some in our government have sold them as to the separation of church and state. There is no such from preceding page you. If you have a concern you’d like to share, an event you’d like me to attend, or a problem you think I might be able to help with--please call or email.

(Jeannie Forrester, a Republican from Meredith, represents District 2 in

thing in our Constitution. It is a lie told by some in our government to keep the church on the sideline. They want the church to sit back and be quiet and enjoy their tax exempt status. If churches were silent when our country was founded where would we be? They had the courage to speak out and keep their people informed and encourage them to speak out and take part in the political process.

I pray our churches stand up and take back form the government what they should be doing. We can no longer look to government to provide for what we should be doing — shelter the homeless, feed the poor, and minister to the sick. No one church can do it all, but just image if churches of all faiths work together what could be done. I pray that day will come soon.

Long hearing devoted to Meredith ‘zoning creep’ case; no decision reached

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — The Zoning Board of Adjustment on Thursday heard arguments for and against the variance it granted to Foundry Avenue Realty Trust in March that would permit industrial uses on land zoned residential within the Lake Waukewan Watershed Overlay District.

After the two-hour hearing, the ZBA, on the advice of its legal counsel Paul Fitzgerald, took the matter under advisement in anticipation of deciding whether or not to rehear the case at its meeting next month.

The owner sought the variance to construct a building on land in the residential district that would serve as a warehouse or house light manufacturing, building trades or equipment and truck repairs. The board, with one dissenting vote, granted the variance on March 10.

At the urging of shore front property owners on Lake Waukewan, the selectmen, by unanimous vote, later asked the ZBA to rehear the matter and reconsider its decision.

The property at 22 Foundry Avenue, owned by Foundry Avenue Realty Trust, originally consisted of two lots that were merged in 2009. The first, a one-acre parcel fronting on Foundry Avenue in the business and industry district, houses Lakeside Plumbing & Heating and is flanked on the west by Stewart’s Ambulance Service and on the east by Comstock Industries. The second, abutting the first to the north, is a four-acre wooded lot, crossed by a wetland on the east, which lies entirely in the residential district.

In granting the variance, the majority appeared to find that because of its proximity to commercial enterprises and lack of appropriate access, the land is not suited to residential development, despite its zoning. Furthermore, the board suspected that residential development would pose a greater risk to the watershed than the proposed commercial project.

Representing the selectmen, town counsel Laura Spector filed a brief with the ZBA, which she addressed when the board met last week. She argued that the ZBA “erred as a matter of law in granting

the variance,” explaining that the owner of the property failed to satisfy the five criteria required for a variance.

Spector began by claiming that the variance is contrary to the public interest and the zoning ordinance. She reminded the ZBA that in 2009 the ordinance was amended to address properties divided by boundaries between different zoning districts. That ordinance provides that where a lot is divided by a zoning district boundary, one of two alternatives would apply. First, each portion of the lot is subject to the respective zoning regulations. Or, if the owner chooses, the portion of the lot in the district with the least area could be developed for single or two family dwelling. Finally, the ordinance prescribes “in case of uncertainty, the ZBA shall determine the exact location of the zoning district boundary.”

The change was intended to prevent “zoning creep,” by which uses permitted in one district are extended to another by annexing abutting property. The variance, Spector said, would represent “zoning creep” by allowing the entire lot to be put to uses that the zoning ordinance permits on only one of its five acres and would mix industrial and residential uses.

Therefore, Spector also rejected the argument that substantial justice required the variance. In addressing the issue, she said that the New Hampshire Supreme Court has considered whether the proposed use of the property is consistent with those in the neighborhood, unless the ordinance was intended specifically to alter the uses in the neighborhood. She concluded that the ordinance was changed to prevent “zoning creep,” “yet this is exactly what (the owner) is attempting to do in this case.”

Furthermore, Spector insisted that denying the variance would impose no unnecessary hardship on the owner. The property, she said, is not unique, dismissing the owner’s argument that the residential portion of the lot can only be reached through the business and industry zone by noting that access to many residential lots in town is through property in another zone.

To qualify for a variance, Spector said the owner must demonstrate there is no significant relationship between the purpose of the ordinance and its

WWW.NUWAVESPORTS.COM

application to the property. Conceding the lack of case law, she said the Office of Energy and Planning has suggested asking is the restriction on the property required to fulfill the purpose of the ordinance or can a variance be granted without undermining the purpose of the ordinance.

Spector claimed restricting the use of the property is necessary to serve three purposes of the zoning ordinance: forestalling “zoning creep,” separating industrial from residential uses and protecting the municipal water supply. She went on to say that owner had yet to specify how the property would be used, but among those suggested equipment and truck repairs are permitted only by special exception in the business and industry district.

Finally, Spector told the board that the variance would diminish the value of neighboring properties.

The ZBA, she said, weighed the effect of the variance on nearby properties in the business and industry district, but overlooked its impact on those in the residential zone.

Attorney Ed Philpot, acting on behalf of Foundry Avenue Realty Trust, filed a response, which opened by declaring the selectmen failed to show that the ZBA erred and that a rehearing was necessary. He dismissed each of Spector’s arguments in turn.

Noting that high density, multi-family housing could be constructed on the residential portion of the property, Philpot said that by comparison the proposed use for the property would enhance the values of surrounding properties rather than diminish them. He reminded the board that the owners of neighboring properties supported the request for the variance.

While acknowledging the change to the ordinance to prevent “zoning creep,” Philpot said it should not control the ZBA’s decision. The case, he continued, was a “perfect example” of why the decision to grant or deny a variance is “still a judgment call.”

The ordinance permits dense, multi-family development, which he described as “simply out of character.” Moreover, he said that the ordinance was not amended to “alter any uses,” but instead to change the presumption of how property could be used see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, May 14, 2011 — Page 11

COURT from page one The state claims Durgin punched 55-year-old Lapierre in the face and then kicked him twice in the head.

A probable cause hearing is not a trial but a time when the prosecution is forced to show a judge it has enough evidence to go to trial. A ruling of probable cause is not a guilty finding and likewise, if a judge rules there is no probable cause, the defendant can be rearrested and charged with the same or a different crime if probable cause is determined.

In laymen’s terms, the defense often requests a probable cause hearing to force the state to lay some of its cards on the table. In return, the state gets peek into a possible defense strategy.

At yesterday’s hearing, three Laconia Police detectives — Christopher Noyes, Jeff Stiegler and Kevin Butler — testified as did Laconia Police Sgt. Gary Hubbard — the supervisor who responded to the Tuesday, May 3 9-1-1 call of an unconscious person at 11:17 a.m.

Under cross-examination by Durgin’s lawyers Eric Wolpin and Timothy Landry, all four admitted to knowing Durgin before his most recent arrest and each officer had a different role in the investigation.

Hubbard testified he and Officer John Howe were the first to arrive and they found Lapierre “propped” up against the fence that surrounds a small enclosure in front of the trailer home that is on the same property as the Quik Laundry and Dry Cleaners.

Hubbard said Lapierre was “unresponsive” but “still breathing” and that he and Howe knew something was “medically wrong.”

He said emergency personnel arrived moments after he did and began tending to Lapierre while he went to the front door to see if anyone was home. He said he could hear noise in the trailer but it took “15 to 20 minutes” before Tracy Hebert answered the door.

Durgin and Lapierre were apparantly both living — or at least staying, in Lapierre’s case — in the trailer home at the time of the incident, along with Hebert.

Hubbard said Hebert came to the door and Det. Robert Cameron walked her down the driveway during her first interview where he overheard her tell Cameron that two other people may be involved and that these two brothers, Jerry and Robert York, “were after Durgin.”

When County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen asked Hubbard to comment on her demeanor, Hubbard said she seemed “scared.” from preceding page absent a variance.

By eliminating dense, multi-family housing within an industrial neighborhood, the variance Philpot contended serves the public interest and the spirit of the ordinance. He set aside issues of the watershed and water quality, which he explained would be addressed by the Planning Board when the plans for the project are presented. At the same time, he argued that the proposed use of the lot would have less “net impact on the watershed” than the permitted residential development.

As for the hardship, Philpot insisted the property is unique because its

“I felt there was something more because she was holding back,” he said.

When Guldbrandsen asked if he saw anyone else, he said he saw Durgin come out. He also said two of Hebert’s friends, Brad Swinton and Daniel Lewis were talking to her after she finished with Cameron.

“Could you hear them?” she asked.

“I heard him (Swinton) getting louder. Swinton was urging her to be truthful,” Hubbard said, noting that Swinton and Hebert were once romantically involved and had children together. “I heard her tell him she didn’t tell the police everything.”

He said it appeared to him as if Swinton cared about Hebert and her well-being and was not trying to coerce her.

Hubbard also said he saw Durgin standing at the opposite end of the parking lot while Hebert was at the other. “ What happened to Durgin?” asked Guldbrandsen.

“Butler asked him to stand at (Officer Ben) Black’s cruiser,” Hubbard said adding he was watching Hebert speak with Swinton and Lewis and when he turned around Durgin was gone.

Hubbard said once Durgin was gone, Hebert, went to Black and told him she hadn’t been truthful and told him Durgin had allegedly held her down on her bed in her bedroom to prevent her from answering the door after police arrived.

He said Black gave Hebert a ride to her mother’s and then took her to the police station.

During Landry’s cross examination, Hubbard said he also learned that before Hebert called 9-1-1, she and Durgin had splashed some water on Lapierre.

He said Hebert said she witnessed a prior incident involving the York brothers that may have been related.

Hubbard also testified Durgin was “agitated and short with us” during his initial interview.

Each of the detectives at yesterday’s hearing played a different role in the investigation.

Noyes interrogated Herbert twice — May 3 and May 4 — at the police station, Stiegler went to the hospital to be with Lapierre and Butler was at the crime scene.

Noyes said the second interview with Hebert was the result of a “significant amount of blood” found in her bedroom.

During his first interview he said see next page environmentally responsible access” is through a commercial parcel. The alternative would be through a wetland, which he said would be “more costly, environmentally invasive (if even permissible) and burdensome to adjacent landowners.”

Apart from the selectmen, three residents — Paula Wanzer, Duncan McNeish and Chuck Braxton — also challenged the variance, stressing the risk to the water quality of Lake Waukewan of an industrial use of the property. Without discounting these concerns, Philpot said that however the property is developed the Planning Board is responsible for requiring measures to mitigate any threat

from preceding page Herbert told him she had been with her mother the night before the alleged assault and returned to the trailer between 9:30 and 10:30 p.m.

She said Lapierre was on the couch and she did not see Durgin.

He testified she told him she went to her room — which is in the middle of the trailer — and closed the door. She said at some point she heard Durgin yelling at Lapierre about him beating on the hot water heater.

Noyes said she said the argument was loud enough that she came into the hallway and looked toward Durgin’s bedroom — on the side of the trailer closest to the cleaners or north side — and saw both men coming from Durgin’s room.

She allegedly told him she saw Durgin hit Lapierre in the face and he fell to the floor. She told Noyes she tried to calm down Durgin and he told her to mind her own business or she would be next.

“She sees Durgin kick Lapierre in the face,” Noyes testified. “She goes back into her room.”

He said she told him she heard a struggle, more arguing and Durgin yelled at her not to let anybody in the house and that “somehow Lapierre had left.”

“Did she say why she went went back into her room?” Guldbrandsen asked him.

“She was in fear,” replied Noyes but Carroll disallowed the statement when Wolpin objected.

When Guldbrandsen asked him if he was aware that Herbet gave inconsistent statements to different police officers because she was afraid of Durgin, Wolpin successfully objected again and said it was “double hearsay” and he would need to cross examine the individual officers himself.

“I’ll move on,” Guldbrandsen said.

Noyes then recounted what Hebert allegedly told him about Robert Polito coming to the trailer and telling her that someone should call 9-1-1 because Lapierre was outside and he was “gurgling blood.”

Noyes also said it was after she called police but when police first arrived that Durgin allegedly held her down.

“Was her written statement consistent to what you heard in the interview room?” she asked.

“Yes,” Noyes said. “One punch, two kicks.”

On cross-examination Wolpin asked Noyes if Hebert was the only person who he interviewed.

He said, “No.” “Is (Hebert) the only person who claimed to see Durgin make contact with (Lapierre)”, he asked.

“Yes,” said Noyes.

“Is there anyone else who saw?”

Wolpin asked.

“Not that I’m aware,” Noyes said.

Wolpin also asked Noyes if he checked Hebert’s prior record and, if he did, was it a concern. Noyes replied he had no concerns about her making false statements or any drug use.

Noyes said Herbert volunteered that she had taken some kind of overthe-counter sleep aid but he didn’t remember what it was.

“Did anyone examine her clothing for blood?” Wolpin asked.

“No” said Noyes.

“Are any of her personal belongings held by police?” Wolpin asked.

“Not that I’m aware,” Noyes said.

Wolpin confirmed Hebert told Noyes she watched Lapierre get beaten and licked and then “just goes to sleep.”

“She said she did sleep,” Noyes said.

“She indicates she woke up at 11 a.m.”

When Wolpin asked Noyes if he had ever seen her initial statement to police he said he hadn’t.

“How did you find Polito?” Wolpin asked Noyes. “Was he at the trailer when police arrived?”

“I don’t know,” Noyes said. “He told me he showed up at the trailer and said to call the police.”

“And he left to buy beer?” Wolpin asked.

“I found him at his sister’s place,” Noyes said.

“Did he have any phone contact with (Hebert and or Durgin) before (he got to the trailer),” Wolpin asked.

“I don’t know if he had contact,” said Noyes.

“Did you ask for Herbert’s phone,” asked Wolpin.

“No, not at first,” Noyes said.

“Did you keep her phone?” Wonpin continued.

“No. I scrolled through it,” was the reply.

Wolpin asked Noyes about two phone made from Hebert’s phone to an unidentified person at 10 a.m. on May 3.

“But she said she was woken up by Polito,” Wolpin said.

“No. She said Durgin woke her up earlier and asked to use her phone,” Noyes said.

“Did she unlock her door to let him in?” asked Wolpin referring to her allegation that Durgin later held her down and she was afraid.

Noyes said Herbert told him Durgin held her down after police arrived not before they arrived.

“Did officers at the scene check her for assault marks,” asked Wolpin.

“I don’t know what officers did,” was Noyes’s reply.

Wolpin asked him about marks on Hebert’s body.

When Noyes testified Hebert allegedly told him she was a cutter (one who deliverately injures him or herself), Guldbrandsen objected but Carroll allowed Wolpin to continue.

“Cuts or scratches?” asked Wolpin.

“Cuts,” said Noyes who also said he didn’t take any pictures of Herbert’s body.

“Was anything preserved from Polito?” asked Wolpin.

“No,” said Noyes.

Wolpin continued to press Noyes about his knowledge of Polito’s criminal past and survived another Guldbrandsen objection when he explained that even though the rules of evidence don’t apply in probable cause hearings, he can still question Polito’s credibility with police.

During Guldbrandsen’s redirect examination, Noyes said Hebert told him Durgin was wearing work boots during his alleged attact on Lapierre.

Stiegler testified he got to the Lakes Region General Hospital just before the ambulance arrived and was there when emergency workers brought Lapierre in on a gurney.

Stiegler described the emergency room as “very chaotic” and said emergency workers had ventilation equipment but it appeared Lapierre was unresponsive and he could hear emergency room personnel taking about stabilizing Lapierre for transport to Dartsee next page

from preceding page mouth Hitchcock Medical Center.

He testified a Dr. Cooper told him Lapierre’s injuries were “serious and life threatening” and that he needed a specialist.

Stiegler said he was able to get some photographs of Lapierre’s injuries and described “excessive swelling” around his left eye and what looked like a “softball was sticking out” of the back of his head.

Durgin, who periodically conferred with his lawyers or stared straight ahead began blinking rapidly when Laconia Prosecutor Jim Sawyer showed him and his attorneys the photographs Stiegler had taken of Lapierre.

Stiegler also said mud on Lapierre’s arm and moustache appeared consistent with the dirt along the fence outside the trailer. He said it was about 15 to 20 feet from the door of the trailer to where Lapierre was found by police.

He said he couldn’t testify to any medical opinion about Lapierre’s condition previous to the beating and he didn’t ask at the hospital because he didn’t yet have warrants for Lapierre’s blood.

Stiegler also said he was familiar with the outside of the trailer and the general area because he does his dry cleaning at Quik. He testified the business opens at 7:30 a.m. and it was a Tuesday when the crime was reported.

He drew a diagram on the courtroom white board and showed that there are no windows along the side of the business that faces the small dirt courtyard within the trailer’s fence. He indicated the business’s doors are much closer to South Main Street.

“It would be difficult to see,” he said.

Finally, Butler testified to what police found in and around the trailer.

He said he and a fourth detective, Scott Roy, were assigned to get the security tapes from the Meredith Village Savings Bank but were told the bank’s security officer reviewed them and said the view appeared to be “whited out” by some kind of light.

He also said he and Roy asked for and received Durgin’s permission to search the trailer.

“Are you aware he withdrew consent? asked Wolpin.

“I have a handwritten, signed release from Mr. Durgin,” replied Butler.

He said the two went in and described the inside as “dirty.”

REQUEST FOR QUALIFIED BIDDERS

State of New Hampshire Department of Employment Security is seeking qualified bidders to provide janitorial services to, NHES Laconia, 426 Union Ave. Responses must meet proposal specifications, obtained at http://admin.state.nh.us/purchasing/ bids_posteddte.asp BID #1294-12 & #130212 or at the Bureau of Purchasing, 25 Capitol Street, Room 102, Concord, NH, 03301.

Completed bids must be submitted to Robert Stowell, Administrative Services, Bureau of Purchasing no later than 5/26/11.

There is a pre-bid conference on May 24 @ 8 AM at NHES Laconia.

Butler said there was blood spatter in the kitchen and in Durgin’s bedroom. He said blood was on the sheets and there was a drop on Durgin’s work boots.

He identified the “north” bedroom as Durgin’s because of a piece of mail he saw in the room and said all the clothing was male.

He also described a metal sailboat on a rock base crammed into an area in the kitchen where it didn’t fit.

“It had to be bent to put in in there,” Butler said.

He said there appeared to be “red stuff” on both the metal sailboat and the base. and Belknap County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Christopher Cost field-tested it as blood.

“What blood was in Hebert’s room? Wolpin asked.

“A broken pool cue, sheets, pillowcase,” Butler said, adding there was also blood on the curtain that blocked off the back bedroom.

Butler also said he found blood in Durgin’s room on clothing and sheets including one T-shirt that appeared to have bleach on it.

“Outside?” asked Wolpin. “Stair?”

“No” said Butler.

“Front door?” Wolpin asked.

“No,” said Butler.

He said there were no usable footprints in the yard and he found one 2- to 3-inch spot of blood about halfway between the door and the fence as Lapierre’s bloody clothing that had been cut off by emergency responders and left at the scene.

Butler said it was impossible for him to determine the blood type and all of the evidence was currently at the N.H. State Lab in Concord.

He also said he was at the police station when Durgin was brought in later that night after police arrested him when he was trying to return to the trailer.

He said Durgin wore a sweatshirt over a few shirts, work boots — a second pair - and jeans.

He said he didn’t speak to Durgin and doesn’t know if he was offered his Miranda rights against self incrimination.

Both sides rested and Wolpin charged the state had not met its burden.

He argued the one eyewitness, Hebert, had told conflicted and perhaps coerced information to police and didn’t not describe Lapierre’s head. Wolpin also noted that 12 hours had elapsed since Hebert allegsee COURT page 15

first meeting on May 21 at the Gilford Community Church.

The goal of Better Together was to create a space – both physical and intellectual – in which local residents would work together to identify and address the concerns of the community.

“One year later and we’re still here, with energy,” said Shannon Robinson-Beland, who works as a community support coordinator with the Family Resource Council. Her comment came during a press conference held to celebrate the anniversary and the accomplishments that have resulted.

Robinson-Beland was joined at the conference by fellow steering committee members Alan Robichaud of the Lakes Region United Way, Marti Ilg of the Lakes Region Child Care Services and Sue Cagle of the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension.

They described how they and others in their line of work had become concerned with what they perceived to be a decreasing amount of civic engagement among local residents as well as Americans at large.

To counter that, the steering committee formed with the intention of striking a difficult balance. The committee wanted to facilitate a meeting but not to take it over.

“We try to hang in the background,” said Robichaud.

Much care went into the agenda of the first and subsequent meetings. Cagle said the goal was to make the gatherings “structured enough, but loose enough that they [the participants] can take it...

How do we keep the energy going, keep the meetings going but not take it over?”

The first meeting saw about 150 people, from all ages and representing many segments of the local society. Author Lewis Feldstein, who co-authored a book called “Better Together,” was the guest speaker.

During the six-hour meeting, participants identified concerns, broke into groups centered around those problems and left with actionable goals individual participants could achieve prior to the next meeting.

About once a month afterward, the Better Together group reconvened. Although fewer people showed up to following meetings, which ranged from about 25 to 40 participants, they came to work, and in the course of a year the experiment proved successful in producing several of what the group called “action teams.”

– The “Neighbor 2 Neighbor” team encouraged residents to be aware of what was going on in their neighborhood and look for signs that a little help might be appreciated. Public service announcements were created and broadcast on local radio stations.

– The “New Americans” team was formed with the goal of ensuring that recent refugees to Laconia would be able to fully enjoy the rights of their new country of residence. One specific goal is to find a permanent place where Bhutanese refugees can worship, this goal

is currently being pursued with the help of the Greater Laconia Ministerial Association.

— The “Healthy Eating/Active Living” team promotes better nutrition and physical activity. This team was responsible for putting on the “Cabin Fever Festival” last February, which saw 320 people stroll through downtown Laconia, eating healthy dishes created by local restaurants and raising money for the Historic Belknap Mill, which hosted a sock-hop dance that evening.

— “Mentoring Together” is currently working to develop an inclusive adult mentoring program to serve local children.

— The “Got Lunch” team will provide lunch food for any Laconia school-age children this summer who might otherwise go without.

— “School Readiness” hopes to work with schools, families and agencies to be sure all children are ready to enter school.

— The “Inclusion” team seeks to provide equal access and opportunity for all residents to participate in society. The team has shown the film “Including Samuel” to various organizations in pursuit of its goal.

A recently-formed group is organizing around the stability of local agriculture and food security.

The steering committee is leaving it up to the teams as to when they’ve reached their goals and are ready to move on. So far, participants have volunteered thousands of hours toward creating a stronger community. New ideas, said Ilg, are “always welcome.”

Leading up to that first meeting, Cagle said the committee “had optimism, but we weren’t expecting exactly this.”

“I think it goes to show that what we thought would be true is true, there are assets in the community,” said Robichaud.

“And that people want to get involved,” added Cagle.

For the year to come, the committee is hoping for more teams to form around issues of importance to them and to engage more members of the community in the process. Specifically, the committee would like to see more young participants, such as the many articulate middle schoolers who attended the first meeting.

The next meeting of Lakes Region Better Together will be May 26 at Laconia Middle School from 4 to 6 p.m. As they plan to celebrate the group’s anniversary, they ask that participants bring a candle to put on a cake and a can of food to be donated to a local food pantry.

“Anyone interested in making the Lakes Region the best place for children and families is welcome,” said Ilg. — Adam Drapcho

COURT from page 13 edly saw Durgin beat Lapierre until Polito found him the next day.

Sawyer countered that blood was found on Durgin’s clothing and it was “not unreasonable to infer here it came from.”

“She (Hebert) doesn’t say the Yorks’ did it and doesn’t say Durgin didn’t,” Sawyer said.

Carroll deliberated silently for about three minutes and ruled the second degree assault charge of

extreme indifference would go forward. He continued bail at $100,000 cash and ordered the prosecution to preserve all of its evidence.

Lapierre died early Monday morning and the case is now being handled by the N.H. Attorney General’s Office. Guldbrandsen said yesterday she has not received an official cause of death certificate from the N.H. Medical Examiner’s office.

Durgin is now charged with one count of second degree assault.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

Winnipesaukee 8, Winnisquam 0 There were eight waterfront sales on Lake Winnipesaukee last month at an average price of $988,000. That compares to 10 sales last April at an average price of $1,057,900. There were three sales over the $1-million mark both this April and last. It seems to me that the waterfront market is hanging in there and we are seeing good activity on showing as we work our way into the spring season. Now if the sun would come out for a week and it would warm up we’d be in great shape.

The least expensive waterfront sold was an island property at 14 Pine Island in Meredith.

This is a six room, three bedroom, A-Frame style home that has a knotty pine interior, living room with a fieldstone fireplace, master bedroom in the loft, and a large deck. The home sits on a 2-acre lot with 215-feet of sandy bottom frontage and a 30-foot dock. It looks like a really cute place! It was listed for $320,000 and sold for $300,000 after 175 days on the market. The property is currently assessed for $373,400. It must have been a cold snowmobile trip to go out and look at this one back in February, but what the heck, they got a good deal!

Over in Laconia, the waterfront at 178/194 Channel Lane finally found a buyer. This is a 4,833 square foot, five bedroom (four suites), six

bath immaculate contemporary home built in 1968 along with a two bedroom guest cottage that has a phenomenal view down Paugus Bay. Located at the very end of Channel Lane, this home has great privacy, 581-feet of shorefront on two lots of record, a two bay boathouse with boat lifts, and an amazing yard with beautiful landscaping. It also has a workshop that Bob Villa would love, an elevator, and a three car garage plus another garage for the yard equipment. If this house doesn’t have it, you don’t need it.

But it was a struggle getting this property sold. It

178-194 Channel Lane in Laconia

was originally listed back in November, 2007 for $2.3-million, was reduced several times down to $1.795-million, and finally sold for $1.3-million after a total of 1,216 days on the market. The current assessment on the property is $1,454,400.

The largest sale for the month was at 129 Dockham Shore Rd in Gilford. This is a 6,000-squarefoot, four bedroom, five bath, custom showcase model home built by Graystone Builders. It has 180-degree views of Winnipesaukee and the mountains beyond. This fabulous Adirondack home has all the bells and whistles including custom cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, Douglas fir moldings, trim and doors, mahogany floors, Pella triple glazed windows, large deck, a professional landscaped yard, and three car garage.

The home sits on a .48-acre lot with 103-feet of frontage. The home was originally listed back in January 2009 for $2.395-million, was relisted at $1.999-million, and sold at full price after a total of 780 days on the market. The current tax assessment stands at $1,223,520.

There were no waterfront sales on Winnisquam or Squam in April which is a little disappointing especially if you have a home listed on these great lakes, but the season is young. It’s kind of like watching the Red Sox. Log on to my blog at www.lakesregionrealestatenews.com and leave me your thoughts on this report or the real estate market in general.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your public reputation gets a boost. It’s about time you were recognized for all you do. If you can find a way to subtly broadcast your newfound fame to your private sector, you’ll be boosted on many levels.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

A match of strengths will be played out in today’s drama. It’s you against someone with powers very different from yours. Here’s what determines the winner: Physical assets will be neutralized by mental prowess.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Whom you like and who likes you will drive the main action of the day. Your loving feelings, mostly platonic, cause you to do something you wouldn’t do if you didn’t care.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The one you admire takes a surprising turn.

You enjoy the adventure of following someone so unpredictable. In a strange way, it makes you feel grounded.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You like to learn that a change is coming.

You just don’t want anyone to spring the change on you at the last second.

The one who gives you fair warning will win your loyalty.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 14). You empty your mind of all fantasies about what this year will be like, and in floods a year so ecstatically unpredictable that you couldn’t have imagined it. You’ll open a grand present. Your ancestors will join the next generation to praise you in June. Technology changes life for the better in July. September brings remarkable kisses. Leo and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 9, 47, 33 and 1.

by Richard Thompson

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Continue your work on a project, finding ways to get around financial barriers.

It’s not the money but the effort you put in that will earn you a certain standing and reputation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Study and cultural exploration will bring you good fortune. You will feel determined to do your own unbiased research, and you will refrain from forming an opinion until you have all the facts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Pursue what’s dear to your heart, even if it doesn’t happen to be realistic. Happily, your standard for realism is stricter than that of those who are in a position to grant your wild wishes.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve said the wrong thing at the wrong moment before and learned from the experience. Now someone else is saying the wrong thing, and you’ll have the kind of compassion that could only come from one who’s been there.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ask questions. You’ll be surprised what information others are willing to give you.

You flatter them with the attention. You may very well be the only one who is asking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You possess style and flair that don’t cost extra dollars, though they do take a great deal of time -- time that you’re willing to put in because you love the reaction you get when you walk into a room.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your gracious style of communicating is almost never loud and sassy. However, you’ll be near someone who triggers rather unusual behavior from you. You feel so unlike yourself!

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 14, 1811, Paraguay achieved independence from Spain with the bloodless overthrow of the country’s royal governor.

On this date: In 1643, Louis XIV became King of France at age four upon the death of his father, Louis XIII. In 1796, English physician Edward Jenner inoculated 8-year-old James Phipps against smallpox by using cowpox matter.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, May 14, 2011— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Two years ago, my wife and our 25-year-old daughter had a falling out right after our son’s wedding. They talk during family get-togethers, but otherwise haven’t spoken in the past six months. Meanwhile, my newly married son moved to his wife’s hometown five hours away.

My wife is now convinced that our daughter-in-law is scheming to create a family rift and is manipulating the fights with our daughter. I don’t agree, but my wife says I must take her side and have nothing to do with our kids until they apologize to her. This has caused tremendous friction in our marriage. I want my kids in my life.

We have tried couples counseling with little success. Short of walking away after 32 years, I don’t know what to do. Is it wrong for me to give up? -- Caught in the Middle Dear Caught: Your wife could be right about the daughter-in-law, but even so, it serves no purpose to demand an apology from someone who isn’t likely to give one. Your wife also sounds like a difficult person. Has she always been like this? Some women have extreme mood swings during menopause. Please ask your wife to see her gynecologist about this possibility. We also recommend informing her that you will absolutely not take sides. If she doesn’t wish to speak to her children, that’s her choice, not yours. And it might help to point out that a future reconciliation is more likely if one of you remains in touch.

Dear Annie: My husband and I regularly send checks or gift cards to our grandchildren on their birthdays and at Christmas. The older the children become the less often we receive any acknowledgment.

With communication today being so quick and easy, I find it extremely disappointing that a simple e-mail cannot be sent with the words, “Thank you for the gift.” It doesn’t require a card, a stamp or a walk to the mailbox. Should I say anything to my children and

grandchildren? -- Disappointed Grandmother Dear Grandmother: Of course. Children need to be taught the importance of acknowledging a gift. If their parents have not done so, it is perfectly OK for you to call, text or e-mail your grandchild and say, “Did you receive the gift I sent for your birthday? Did you like it? Please let me know.” Once they get a bit older, if they continue to ignore this obligation, feel free to tell them you will stop sending gifts since they apparently don’t appreciate receiving them.

Dear Annie: I am a retired probation officer and would like to offer some suggestions to “Marriage on the Rocks,” whose 51-year-old stepson lives rent-free in their trailer and may be using drugs.

1. Call the police and have their drug team search your property, house and trailer for drugs or paraphernalia. If the stepson has any illegal substances, he goes to jail. Police don’t need a warrant if you invite them to search your property.

2. Sell or put the trailer in storage.

3. Set conditions for the stepson to live at home, and enforce them.

If he doesn’t abide by the terms, enroll him at a local homeless shelter.

4. Get a blood test to check for drugs, and make the tests sporadic and unannounced. If he tests positive for an illegal substance, kick him out. Peace of mind is better than second-guessing at a funeral. I know from personal experience.

5. When you put him out of the house, do it with a crisis intervention team, and let him leave for treatment with the crisis intervention counselor. This way you don’t come off looking like a jerk. -- Shaggy Dear Shaggy: Your suggestions are strict but reasonable. And if the stepson is not, in fact, using drugs, points 2 and 3 still apply. But we doubt Mom will go along.
