City courting buyer interested in former police station

Police, B M K LACONIA — After languishing on the Legion take market for nearly a decade, the building at 51 Church Street, which until July 2003 up cause housed the police department and has been ever since, has attracted the interest of a potential buyer. of girl who vacant City Manager Scott Myers confirmed yesterday that last week he was approached lost her glass eye Rabbit wrangler B G O y

by an interested party with whom he toured the property last week. Declining to offer any information about the identity or intentions of the prospective buyer, he said only that “I was encouraged by our conversation.”

Shortly after the police department left the building it was offered for sale for an initial asking price of $300,000. A local dentist made an offer, but the transaction never

closed. Last year, the city issued a request for proposals, which explained that since the City Council sought to return the property to the tax roll and put it to its highest and best use, there would be “no minimum sale price threshold.”

Myers reaffirmed that the city’s priorities are putting the site to productive use in order to generate tax revenue and gainsee Pd page 6

LACONIA — The local American Legion Post and two members of the city police department are among those helping Jennifer Miller, the 10-year-girl who lost her prosthetic eye while swimming in the Winnipesaukee River last month.

According to Laconia Police Capt. Matthew Canfield, Weirs resident and Jennifer’s aunt Christine Jenot has arranged a spaghetti dinner at the Laconia Elks Club in Gilford on August 18 and has established the Jennifer Miller Fund at the Meredith Village Savings Bank.

Canfield said the spaghetti dinner coincides with the Timberman Triathlon in Gilford and Laconia Police Lt. Richard Simmons, who completed an Iron Man challenge in Lake Placid, N.Y. last month, has reached out to many of the competitors in the local event for their help.

Jenot has taken over the fundraising activity from neighbor Alyssa Phillips for the family and said the amount to be raised see MILLeR page 6

Inter-Lakes looks at using $800k surplus to make capital improvements

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — The Inter-Lakes School Board will be asked to approve using much of an approximate $800,000 budget surplus to pay for needed capital improvements.

Assistant Superintendent Trish Temperino told the board Tuesday the unencumbered balance – or surplus – from the $20.48 mil-

lion 2011-12 budget was due largely to lowerthan-expected costs for employee salaries and benefits. Those two areas alone accounted for $676,000 in savings, she said. Other areas of savings included a reduction in what the district ultimately needed to pay into the state-run teachers’ retirement system and lower premiums for workers’ compensation insurance.

Temperino told the board the administra-

New toilet technology after 150 years of waste

SEATTLE (AP) — These aren’t your typical loos. One uses microwave energy to transform human waste into electricity. Another captures urine and uses it for flushing. And still another turns excrement into charcoal.

They are part of a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation competition to reinvent the toilet for the 2.5 billion people around the world who don’t have access to modern sanitation.

Scientists from around the world have taken up the challenge, and the foundation announced some projects Tuesday that will be getting more money to take their ideas from the lab to cities.

There, local entrepreneurs will use the new technology to turn pollution into cash.

“We couldn’t be happier with the response that we’ve gotten,” Bill Gates said.

To pass the foundation’s threshold for the world’s next toilet, it must operate without see TOILET page 11

Syrian premier who defected: Regime near collapse AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — The Syrian prime minister who defected said Tuesday that Bashar Assad’s regime was near collapse and urged other leaders to tip the scales and join the rebel side. The U.N. said an estimated 2.5 million Syrians have been injured, displaced or face problems securing food or other necessities, a sharp rise from about 1 million three months ago.

It was the first public statement by Riad Hijab since he left his post and fled to Jordan with his family last week. Hijab is the highest-ranking political figure to defect from Assad’s regime.

“The regime is on the verge of collapse morally and economically in addition to cracks in the military,” Hijab told a

news conference in the Jordanian capital, Amman.

Hijab is a Sunni Muslim from the eastern province of Deir el-Zour where rebels claimed to have shot down a regime MiG-23 warplane on Monday. Hijab, who was not part of Assad’s inner circle, said the trip to Jordan lasted three days during which he was protected by rebels of the Free Syrian Army.

He said he felt “pain in his soul” over the regime’s shelling and other attacks on rebel strongholds as the government stepped up its military offensive. Activists say more than 20,000 people been killed in the struggle since March 2011.

“I was powerless to stop the injustice,”

Hijab said, speaking in front of the rebel flag. He called on “honorable leaders” in Syria to defect as well.

“Syria is full of honorable officials and military leaders who are waiting for the chance to join the revolution,” he said, adding that Assad’s forces only control 30 percent of Syria.

“I urge the army to follow the example of Egypt’s and Tunisia’s armies — take the side of the people,” he added.

Hijab said he was now backing the rebels, but gave no clue on his plans. There had been speculation that he would travel to the Gulf nation of Qatar, which is one of the rebels’ main supporters. see SYRIA page 9

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — A pastor from Virginia was convicted Tuesday of helping a woman flee the country three years ago, when she was on the brink of having to turn custody of her young daughter over to the woman who was once her partner in a Vermont civil union.

The jury issued its verdict against the Rev. Kenneth Miller after several hours of deliberations in the case, which has drawn broad attention because of the legal and religious questions it raised about samesex unions and child custody, and because the whereabouts of mother and daughter remain unknown.

Miller, 46, a Mennonite from Stuarts Draft, Va., was charged with aiding in international kidnapping for helping Lisa Miller and her daughter, Isabella, leave the country in September 2009, a month after a judge indicated he would turn custody of the girl over to Janet Jenkins, of Fair Haven, Vt., if she continued to defy a series of visitation orders.

Kenneth and Lisa Miller are not related.

Lisa and Isabella, now 10 years old, were last known to be in Nicaragua.

As the jury was deliberating, Jenkins filed a lawsuit against both Millers and other people associated with the case, seek-

ing unspecified monetary damages.

Kenneth Miller showed no emotion as the verdict was read and will remain free pending sentencing, although he was ordered to surrender his passport. After the verdict, his supporters walked out of the Burlington courthouse, lined up across the street and began singing hymns.

“I am willing to accept the consequences of my actions,” said Miller, who could spend three years in prison. “I am at peace with God. I am peace with my conscience and I give it over to God, and at the same time I respect the decision of the court.” see CUSTODY page 10

DHS launches new Kwiatkowski’s arrest shows flaws in system immigration program WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Tuesday directed young illegal immigrants to fill out new forms and pay $465 if they want to apply under a new program that would let them avoid deportation and obtain a U.S. work permit.

The government renewed warnings that the process wouldn’t lead to citizenship or give them permission to travel internationally. It will begin accepting immigrants’ applications Wednesday.

The paperwork for the program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, can be downloaded from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, said the agency’s director, Alejandro Mayorkas. Applicants must pay a $465 fee and provide proof of identity and eligibility.

Under guidelines that the administration announced Tuesday, the agency said proof of identity and eligibility under the program could include a passport or birth certificate, school transcripts, medical and financial records and military service records. DHS said that in some instances, multiple sworn affidavits, signed by a third party under penalty of perjury, could also be used.

With the start of the program nearing, immigrants have been working on getting their paperwork in order. Tuesday morning, 23-year-old Evelyn Medina, from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, was in line at that country’s consulate in Washington about 6:30 a.m. to secure a passport. With her passport in hand, Medina was all smiles as she walked out of the building just before 2 p.m., saying “finally” as she clutched the document.

Medina said she has been in the United States for about 10 years and is currently a student at a Maryland college, hoping to eventually earn a master’s see DHS page 8

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Radiology technician David Kwiatkowski was a few weeks into a temporary job at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center-Presbyterian in 2008 when a co-worker accused him of lifting a syringe containing an addictive painkiller from an operating room and sticking it down his pants.

More syringes were found in his pockets and locker. A drug test showed he had fentanyl and other opiates in his system.

In what may be the scariest part of all, authorities say that when he swiped the fentanyl syringe, he left another one in its place, filled with a dummy fluid, ready to be used on a patient.

But Kwiatkowski did not go to jail. No one in Pittsburgh even called the police. Neither the hospital nor the medical staffing agency that placed him in the job informed the national accreditation organization for radiological technicians.

So just days after being fired, he was able to start a new job at a Baltimore hospital. And from there, he went from one hospital to another — 10 hospitals altogether in the four years after he was fired in Pittsburgh. All of them told The Associated Press they had no knowledge of his disciplinary history

when they hired him for temporary jobs.

The potentially grave cost of those loopholes became clear only after Kwiatkowski’s arrest last month in New Hampshire, where he stands accused of infecting at least 31 Exeter Hospital patients with hepatitis C by stealing fentanyl syringes and replacing them with dirty ones tainted with his blood.

Now, thousands of hospital patients who may have crossed paths with Kwiatkowski in eight states — Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York and Pennsylvania — are being tested to see if they, too, are infected with hepatitis C, a sometimes life-threatening virus that can destroy the liver and cause cancer.

As the Kwiatkowski case demonstrates, medical technicians aren’t as closely regulated as doctors or nurses, and there is no nationwide database of misconduct or disciplinary actions against them, the way there is for physicians.

“It seems that what happens in Pittsburgh stays in Pittsburgh,” said Barbara Yeninas, a spokeswoman for Springboard Healthcare Staffing and Search, one of at least seven medical staffing agencies that lined up jobs for Kwiatkowski. “They get see KWIATKOWSKI page 12

Poll finds voters unfamiliar with gubernatorial candidates DURHAM, N.H. (AP) — A new poll in New Hampshire finds that most candidates running to succeed Gov. John Lynch are unknown to most of the state’s voters.

The WMUR Granite State Poll released Tuesday was conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, with a sampling margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

The poll finds that only attorney Ovide Lamon-

tagne, who is seeking the Republican nomination, is known to a majority of New Hampshire residents.

According to the poll, 29 percent of New Hampshire adults view him favorably, 19 percent unfavorably and 5 percent are neutral. The poll says 47 percent don’t know enough about him to have an opinion.

Also running are Republicans Kevin Smith and Robert Tarr and Democrats Jackie Cilley, Maggie Hassan and Bill Kennedy.

Pat Buchanan

Mitt goes all in Mitt Romney’s decision to select Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate speaks well of the man who made it. Indeed, it seemed less like the moderate man we have come to know than Adm. David Farragut in Mobile Bay: “Damn the torpedoes!

Full speed ahead!”

Facing sinking polls, endless attack ads on his tax returns and Bain Capital record, and venomous lies that he was culpable in the cancer death of the wife of a steelworker seven years after he left Bain, Romney decided to convert this dismal campaign into a stark choice of philosophies and policies. Picking Ryan, Mitt shoved his whole stack of chips into the middle of the table and sent this message to the American people: “Friends, our country is in trouble. If we do not lift the burden of taxation, regulation and spending that has produced $5-trillion in new debt in four years, we are going the way of Spain and Greece.

“I have chosen this young leader Paul Ryan to be my partner because he has thought more deeply and read more closely into the causes and consequences of our fiscal crisis than any other man in Washington.

“Now President Obama says his approach to solving America’s fiscal crisis has ‘worked.’ If you believe that, go ahead and vote for him.

“But Paul Ryan and I believe that 42 straight months of 8-percent unemployment, $5-trillion in new debt and trillion-dollar deficits staring at us all the way to the horizon is a course to fiscal and financial ruin. He and I do not believe America can survive many more years of what Barack Obama has produced and promises to produce.

“We are offering America a different direction from the radicalliberal path of Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, where the federal government consumes a fourth of the entire economy. We are offering a Romney-Reagan-Ryan conservative road to prosperity.

“I am not going to tell you this will not involve sacrifice. But if you believe this country needs a course correction, then we are asking you to take a chance with change to restore an America where our children can anticipate the better future we all could when we were growing up.

“You know and I know there is something fundamentally wrong with the direction in which we are headed. And the proof lies in the grim statistics that keep coming in month after month after month.”

Romney’s choice of Ryan makes the election of 2012 not only a report card and referendum on Obama, but a clear choice between philosophies.

Obama believes government is the engine of prosperity. Romney

and Ryan believe people, private institutions, entrepreneurs and businesses are the creative and energizing forces in society.

And what a difference four years have made in this president. In 2008, Obama was the candidate of “hope and change.” In 2012, Obama is the candidate of inflexibility and fear. Look at him, his surrogates and his ads. Do they not all say to the American people: Be afraid, be terrified of what Romney and that dangerous Ryan would do. Be fearful, for Romney and Ryan will take from you what you have, while we will make sure you keep what you have, and we promise you more.

With the selection of Ryan, Mitt Romney has made this election a test of the people themselves. Twothirds of all Americans, according to polls, believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. Will they vote for Romney-Ryan to change course, or for Obama to continue on that course because they fear the unknown to the known?

The predictable Democratic response to Ryan’s candidacy has begun. They are rummaging through his budget to find proposed cuts and crafting ads to frighten portions of the population about what those terrible cuts might mean to them. Will it work? Well, this will be a test of the communications skills of the Romney-Ryan campaign. Can they persuade the people to boot the Obamaites out of the wheelhouse and entrust them with the leadership of the nation?

Second, it will be a test of the people. Can they, will they reject the frightening picture that will be painted of Romney and Ryan’s America?

America has faced course corrections before, with 1932 and 1980 coming to mind. In both those elections, the failed leadership was broomed out in a landslide. Is there any doubt that this administration, too, has fallen short of what it promised? Is there any doubt that it, too, has failed? But are we the same people those generations were? Or have we become the fearful and risk-averse electorate the consultants and the ad-makers think we are? We shall see.

Nevertheless, Romney is owed a debt for choosing a man of principles and conservative philosophy as a running mate, thereby giving this country a clear choice as to the future it wants to live in.

However it comes out, this decision was a gutsy call.

(Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)

LETTERS Obama’s economy ‘built to last” line is a joke on America To the editor, I just love it when Democrats try to BS and gloss over facts in their never ending PANDERING to make Obama look like strawberry short cake and Romney week old spinach.

Obama has a very failed record of accomplishment for four years so it is now all about the other guy. In 2008 it was all about OBAMA. You remember the guy who was going to be the transformer, unifier and change the way Washington did business and failed all of them BADLY although he changed Washington’s ways. He has made it even more divided and divisive based on EVERY current POLL. Donkey dorks will vote for Obama even if unemployment were 20-percent and he added ten trillion in debt and our credit rating got down graded nine times. They will have a EXCUSE FOR ALL HIS FAILURE and it will Bush’s fault if it takes 15 years to get the economy fixed.

Obama will NEVER admit his failure, despite the depth of it. None of the honest FACTS make one bit of difference to Democrats like Joe Denning of Bristol. The qualifications of the Republican candidate, no matter how good, are irrelevant. In fact, the better they are the more they will be attacked (like now). Mitt Romney’s economic credentials mop the floor with Obama, whose job as community organizer sat him in the back room of a Catholic church for years. No socialist Democrat is going to pay RENT some place.

I have said many times the letters page of The Sun is far funnier than the comics. Joe Denning of Bristol says Obama has a vision for an economy “built to last”. It is the most ignorant,

pure BS, simply untrue (and there for hilarious) line I have read in The Sun. It certifies Democrats would elect Hitler if he had a donkey shirt on.

Joe, are you thinking Obama’s vision of an economy built to last starts with an American CREDIT DOWNGRADE, the first in our history? Are you thinking an economy built to last comes from spending trillions more money than government takes in? That is GREEK VISION built to FAIL. Do you think an economy built to last is created by adding countless more taxes on the MIDDLE CLASS like Obamacare does? Many companies have already pre-announced price INCREASES the day Obamacare begins including Papa John’s Pizza yesterday who said the retail price of pizzas would rise 30 to 40 cents on day one.

Joe, is that the great economy built to last on higher prices for every beer and pizza bought in America for the next century. Joe, get an argument that has at least a fleck of common sense and logic to it. Keep using that line Obama wants an economy “built to last” and you will be as laughed out of town and ridiculed as Obama has been for his line, “You didn’t build that”. By the way Joe the, latest from the Congressional Budget office shows the middle class percent of income taxes has dropped from 13-percent they paid in 1979 to 9-percent in 2009.

That is about a 30-percent DROP. The top 20-percent of American success stories (tax payers) are CARRYING AMERICA on their backs, paying 70-percent of all Federal taxes collected and likely Joe Denning’s share, as he blabbers donkey droppings.

I thank people who make these free summer concerts possible To the editor, No matter the times, music seems always to be there to tell the story, to sympathize or celebrate the moments.

Such songs as “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime”, “Happy Days are Here Again”, “Sixteen Tons”, “American Pie”, “Let the Good Times Roll” or “Good Times, Bad Times” are mere examples of such musical themes.

So, I am one happy fan of the Historic Belknap Mill and the Belknap Mill Society that is on hand to welcome the return of the summer concert series in Laconia’s Rotary Park this summer.

Once again, many have the chance to return to setting up their lawn chairs next to old friends at this riv-

erside park, on a well-maintained grassy lawn shaded with trees, landscaped with flower beds and tap to the beat of such talented musicians as The New Horizons Band, the Crunchy Western Boys and the Moulton’s Band. The colonial white gazebo hugs our local musicians as it waffs music that we are familiar with and opens up old memories.

I thank those volunteers behind the scene that make it possible for me forego some stress, to rest a bit, smell the flowers and enjoy the downbeat under a pink sky or maybe Hoagy’s “Buttermilk Sky”. Let’s give the society a hand and lend our support.

Henry Ford understood society had to thrive for him to do so To the editor, In the controversy surrounding “you didn’t build that,” an important historical personage is being neglected: Henry Ford.

Ford invented and built the Model T, the first car for everyman. His key insight was that not only did he have to build a great product, he had also to build the market for it — everyman had to be able to afford to buy

it. His answer was the $5 a day wage for his workers in 1915, a huge jump in income for workers at that time.

He understood that there had to be a prosperous, viable society in order for his business to thrive, and he was prepared to do his bit to make that possible. Perhaps that lesson needs to be relearned today.

LACONIA — A city man has been arrested on charges of selling heroin.

Joshua R. McLean, 26, of 59 Weirs Boulevard, unit 3, was arrested on Tuesday during a traffic stop at about 1:30 p.m. McLean was wanted on a warrant for selling heroin. Police expect to bring further charges, though, after conducting searches of his apartment and vehicle following his arrest.

At his residence, police reported, they found nearly a pound of mari-

juana, a scale and packaging material. From his vehicle, police seized oxycodone and cash in unspecified quantities.

McLean was charged with one count of sales of heroin and refused bail. He is being held in the Belknap County House of Corrections.

Police said additional charges are forthcoming and McLean will be arraigned via video today in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division.

MILLER from page one is $3,500. Initially, Phillips had said it could costing as much as $10,000 for the prosthetic eye but Jenot confirmed the new number yesterday.

She said with the advent of city police reaching out the to Timberman contestants, she has made arrangements with MVSB to place any money raised above and beyond the $3,500 into a trust fund to be used to replace Jennifer’s prosthetic eye as her face grows.

Should there be any money left over when Jennifer turns 18, she said the money will be put into a scholarship fund.

“Jennifer is a beautiful young lady and this way her family won’t have to worry about her future,” Jenot said.

Jenot is also reaching out to the restaurant community for some help with the spaghetti dinner.

“The police told me as many as 2,500 people could come to the dinner, “she said.

Jennifer’s father, Wayne Miller, is a veteran of the U.S. Army. Two years ago he suffered a stroke and is con-

fined to a wheelchair. His wife Heidi is his primary caretaker. Together they have five children and survive on Wayne Miller’s military pension and social security.

Laconia American Legion Post Adjutant Earlon Beale said he is working with the Miller family and expects the American Legion to make a $300 donation to Jennifer Miller in honor of her father’s service.

Jennifer lost her eye to cancer when she was nine months old. Her mother said as a baby, her Healthy Kids insurance sent Jennifer to a Boston Hospital where she underwent radiation and chemotherapy but doctors determined she would lose the eye.

After the glass eye was lost last month, city firefighters searched the river bottom but came up emptyhanded despite multiple attempts.

For those wishing to help, donations can be made to the Jennifer Miller Fund at the Meredith Village Savings Bank, 393 South Main St. in Laconia or online at gofundme.com.

Jenot can be contacted 366-2748.

PD from page one ful employment and in return “might be willing to accept a nominal price.”

He indicated that a sales contract could include what he called “basic safeguards” like assurances that the buyer would invest in improving the property to a specified standard within a prescribed period of time.

Myers said that such stipulations would be factored into the sale price.

The building, then known as the Winston Building, opened as a professional office building in 1960 and was acquired by the city in 1978. Constructed of brick and masonry, it has approximately 8,400 square feet of usable space on two floors. Myers said that the building was originally constructed to support another floor. The building sits on a 0.26-acre lot with 100 feet of frontage on Church Street that abuts 1.9 acres of municipal property that serves primarily as a parking lot bordered by the downtown riverwalk along the Winnipesaukee River. With a boundary line adjustment, the lot could be extended nearer the river. The property has nearly 100 feet of frontage on Church Street and abuts 1.9 acres of municipal property that serves primarily as a parking lot

bordered by the downtown riverwalk.

The city has indicated that the lot at 51 Church Street could be developed in tandem with the next door property, once home to the Munsey & Brazil Insurance Agency, which was listed for sale last year. Stressing that the city has no control over the property, the city has noted that since both lots are for sale, they offer “the potential for expanded development.”

The abutting property, which was acquired by the Cross Insurance Agency of Bangor, Maine for $540,000 when it purchased Munsey & Brazil, is a 0.29-acre lot with 73 feet of frontage on Church Street. The building was constructed in 1880 and expanded in 2007.

A driveway, which before its closure served as a passageway from Church Street to the parking lot, runs between the police station and insurance agency.

The lot also extends to the river, where it has about 78 feet of shoreline. An easement on the parcel would enable the riverwalk to be extended toward the Church Street bridge.

Myers said another prospective buyer is interested in the Munsey & Brazil lot, but neither of the parties eying the two properties have indicated an interest in developing them together.

Sailing School participants visit Marine Patrol for lesson in boating safety

By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD – Youngsters taking part in the Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing Association’s Sailing School know that sailing is fun. On Tuesday afternoon they learned that sailing, like other forms of boating, must also be safe.

Four boys and two girls enrolled in the school’s two-week high-level, non-racing class spent an hour at Marine Patrol headquarters in Glendale, learning about different types of life jackets, how to distinguish various aids to navigation, and safety equipment requirements that apply to sailboats.

Marine Patrol Officer Seth Alie demonstrated various pieces of safety equipment and even used the school’s head instructor R.J. Darabant as a model to demonstrate how a CO2-activated inflatable life jacket operates. “One of our key purposes is advocating for safety,� said Alie. “It is good to interact with people and educate them in order to promote safe boating on the water.�

Darabant said the students who attended the Marine Patrol presentation were already familiar with many boating regulations. Many of the students have been sailing for three or more years, and four of them get to sail as part of family recreation. “This sailing school has done a fantastic job in educating these kids,� said Alie at the conclusion of his one-hour classroom presentation.

Also attending the presentation was the school’s director Anthony Sperazzo, and Jillian Egan, the school’s operations director. “My goal to for the students to have the skills to captain their own vessel,� said Darabant, who first came to the sailing school 11 years ago as a student and is now in his fifth year as an instructor.

For the students, sailing is a rewarding challenge. “I just want to sail for the fun of it,� said Catherine McLaughlin of Gilford. Then she added: “This had been great because it teaches you about making decisions, and also the importance of teamwork.� from preceding page they missed.

Board member Jack Carty pointed out that under the proposal there would be “substantial out-ofpocket expenses for the participating students.�

This prompted fellow board member Howard CunPLUS

The Sailing School is marking its 25th anniversary. Sperazzo said roughly 235 youngsters have attended the school this summer – a record.

Other students attending this session of the two-

week, non-racing program are Chris Weimann, Samih Shafique, Cameron Fraser, and Cader Coleman, all of Gilford, and Gabriella d’Empaire-Poirier of Alton.

ningham to say, “I am concerned about students who want to go but cannot (afford) to go. We need to be sensitive to that issue.�

High School Principal Patricia Kennelly noted that the band would be doing considerable fundraising to help defray expenses.

The board approved a number of policy changes affecting both students and school personnel.

Students will no longer be allowed to use electronic devices during the school day unless they have express permission from the classroom teacher. In see next page

Teachers’ contract unchanged at Gilmanton deliberative session

By Michael Kitch GILMANTON — After the School District Moderator Mark Sisti advised them that to amend the teachers contract ratified by the School Board and Gilmanton Education Association would be “raising havoc,” the 16 voters at the deliberative session of Town Meeting — the first since the school district and the town adopted SB-2 — unanimously approved the agreement by voice vote.

The meeting, which began at 6 p.m. was adjourned by 6:13 p.m. “ I don’t like SB-2 and this is one of the reasons why,” one resident remarked as she left the meeting.

Sisti explained that if voters chose to amend the contract either party, the school board or the teachers union, could render it null and void. He said

the contract was not like ordinary warrant articles. “It’s a whole other ballgame,” he said. Furthermore, he noted that articles whose wording is prescribed by law cannot be amended.

Voters scuttled an earlier contract, which included salary increases of $37,006 in 2012-2013 and $30,455 in 2013-2014, at the annual School District Meeting in March.

The contract approved last night provides step and longevity raises in 2013-2014 at an aggregate cost of $40,349. Teachers with a decade of employment with the district who have reached the top of their pay scale will receive increases of 2-percent, 2.5-percent and 3-percent in their base pay according to their years of service and level of education.

Voters will be asked to fund the contract on September 11.

DHS from page 3 degree and become a social worker.

She wasn’t alone. Leonardo Irias Navas, head of the consular section at the Embassy of Honduras, said the number of people applying for passports has more than doubled in the last week.

A decision on each application could take several months, and immigrants have been warned not to leave the country while their application is pending. If they are allowed to stay in the United States and want to travel internationally, they will need to apply for permission to come back into the country, a request that would cost $360 more.

The administration announced the plan in June to stop deporting many illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. To be eligible, immigrants must prove they arrived in the United States before they turned 16, are 30 or younger, have been living here at least five years, and are in school or graduated or served in the military.

They also cannot have been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise pose a

safety threat.

Mayorkas said being approved to avoid deportation “does not provide lawful status or a path to citizenship.”

The announcement came just months before what is shaping up to be a tight contest for the White House. President Barack Obama has come under fire by Hispanic voters and others who have say he hasn’t fulfilled a previous campaign promise to reform the nation’s immigration laws. The policy change could stop deportations for more than a million young illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the failed DREAM Act, which Obama has supported in the past.

Critics of the program, including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, have called the policy backdoor amnesty and say they worry about fraud.

“While potentially millions of illegal immigrants will be permitted to compete with American workers for scarce jobs, there seems to be little if any mechanism in place for vetting fraudulent applications and documentation submitted by illegal immigrants,” Smith said Tuesday.

from preceding page the event of an emergency or urgent matter students will be allowed to ask permission to use their cell phones.

Another policy change tightens the eligibility requirements for middle school students participating in cocurricular activities. These regulations are in line with rules already in place at the high school which bars a student from participating in any cocurricular activities if their academic performance is unsatisfactory.

The board approved a policy limiting health insurance benefits for newly hired support staff employees who are not covered by a union contract. Under the change, support staff personnel who work 35 hours a week or more during the school year will be eligible for medical and dental insurance for themselves alone. If they want two-person or family coverage those employees will be required to pick up the additional cost themselves.

NOTES: High School Principal Patricia Kennelly told the board the school has

been awarded the 2011-2012 Division III Sportsmanship Award by the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association.

Board Chairman Richard Hanson said the Evaluation Committee approved under the latest contract with the district’s teachers’ union is being organized. Under the contract between the board and the Inter-Lakes Education Association, the committee will consist of 10 people, five named by the board and five by the union. Hanson said the board-appointed members would be Superintendent Mary Ellen Ormond, Elementary School Principal Dr. Steve Kelley, Kennelly, and two board members. Hanson said he and Carty were interested in serving on the committee and Hanson asked any other board members who might want to serve to put their names forward for consideration.

Hanson said that while the contract calls for one of the committee members to act as the group’s facilitator, he said it was possible that group might want to choose an outside facilitator.

Belmont village revitalization project to begin as soon as temporary water system is installed

By Gail OBer

BELMONT — Residents and business owners met with engineers and construction managers of the village revitalization projected last night and learned that as soon as the temporary water is supply is up and running, likely next week, the project will begin in earnest.

The Belmont Village Revitalization is a $1.5-million year-long project that will redesgn the Belmont Village area including Main Street, Center Street, Fuller Street and Center Stree according to a charette sponsored by town officials last year.

“Everyone will have water,” Paul Busby of Busby Construction told the crowd of about 25 people who met at the Corner Meeting House.

Busby said everyone who will be affected will get notices about when the switch-over from town water to temporary water will begin and, because the project will be gradual, when each individual will be affected.

Busby said after the temporary water supply is ready, the actual construction will being on Main Street, Mill Street, Center Street and Fuller Street in that order.

He said that if “Mother Nature cooperates,” the water system reinstallation and permanent water system should be completed by snow fall. He said the entire area will have one coat of pavement throughout the winter and the project will be finished next summer.

“By contract we have one year for the job,” he said.

Other questions posed to engineers from Hoyle and Tanner and the Busby construction team included access to driveways, safety around the Belmont Middle School and access to and from businesses in the village.

“Communication is key,” said Busby, who said the residents, the school district, and town officials will be appraised daily about what will happen when and where.

Construction members and town officials asked the residents and business owners to communicate with them about any needs they have because the more the team knows the better they can accommodate them.

Busby said there will be times that there will be detours and one-way traffic through construction areas and times when people are inconvenienced – but that is the nature of a construction project as big as this one.

Selectmen encouraged people to focus on the future and think about how the Belmont Village will look after the project is completed.

The on-site engineer is Liz Ziegler and Busby said her job is to act as the coordinator between the construction team, the town and the residents and businesses. Her contact information is available through town hall.

In addition, the town of Belmont Website has a Village Revitalization link that will post period updates.

SYRIA from page 2 The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 45 people, including 29 civilians, were killed in Tuesday throughout Syria while the Local Coordination Committees, another activist group, said 50 people lost their lives. The Observatory said six members of the same family, including two children, were killed when troops shelled the eastern village of Shumaita.

In Geneva, the U.N. said that its humanitarian chief has begun talks in Syria on a mission to boost international aid inside the war-battered country. Valerie Amos was to meet with Syria’s foreign ministry and the Red Crescent, which has been the pipeline for humanitarian supplies to Syrians caught in the civil war.

Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Geneva, said Amos is on a three-day visit to the region.

She said the U.N. now estimates that more than 2 million Syrians have been injured, displaced or facing problems securing food or other necessities. Also, more than 200,000 refugees have fled to neighboring countries including Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.

“We have a situation where there is an ongoing humanitarian crisis,” Amos said in Damascus after meeting National Reconciliation Minister Ali Haidar. “Three months ago, we thought that there were about a million people who were in need of assistance. We’re now having to revise that number to about 2.5 million,” she added.

“I think it’s important that all parties to the conflict recognize that it is ordinary men and women who are caught up in the middle of this and that it is important that the fighting stops,” she added.

A spokesman for outgoing U.N. peace envoy Kofi Annan said that Syria authorities have backed former Algerian Foreign Minister Lakhdar Brahimi as his successor. The spokesman, Ahmed Fawzi, said the next step was for Brahimi, a longtime U.N. official, to formally accept the post and resume efforts

for a diplomatic solution to Syria’s crisis.

In Lebanon, the militant Hezbollah group denied Tuesday that a man captured in the Syrian capital of Damascus and shown in a video released by the rebels was one of its members.

The video is the latest incident to reflect rising sectarian divisions in Syria’s vicious civil war, which has seen an increase in abductions of Shiite Muslims who many rebel fighters perceive as supporting Assad. The regime is dominated by members of Assad’s Alawite minority sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. Sunnis, who are the majority in Syria, make up the backbone of the opposition.

The video purporting to show the captured Lebanese man followed another highly circulated rebel video Monday, showing the downing of the Syrian MiG and armed men later holding the captured pilot who ejected. Syria acknowledged a pilot had bailed out of a disabled plane but blamed the crash in Deir el-Zour on a technical malfunction.

In the video with the Lebanese captive, a man identifies himself as Hassane Salim al-Mikdad, and says he was one of 1,500 Hezbollah fighters sent to Syria on Aug. 3. The video was said to have been released by rebels and aired by Arab satellite TV AlArabiya on Tuesday.

“Most of those who entered were snipers,” said the captive, whose face showed bruises as three masked gunmen stood behind him. A man, who could not be seen, was asking the hostage questions.

The captive then says that Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah gathered the men before they headed to Syria and told them that they should go to “support the Shiite regime and the Shiite army against Sunni gangs.” The authenticity of the video could not be independently confirmed.

Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim group, is a key backer of Assad’s regime. The Syrian opposition has repeatedly accused it of sending fighters to Syria, which Hezbollah denies.

CUSTODY from page 2 He said an appeal would be up to his attorneys, who left the courthouse shortly after the verdict was read.

Jenkins was not in court at the time, but her attorney said she is pleased that Kenneth Miller was being held accountable.

“She hopes that the verdict will send a message to those who continue to aid and abet Lisa Miller in Nicaragua,” said attorney Sarah Star. “Her greatest hope is that the government’s efforts will lead to Isabella’s safe return to Vermont.”

During three days of testimony, prosecutors used cellphone records and sometimes-reluctant witnesses to lay out a broad network overseen by Kenneth Miller that helped Lisa and Isabella travel first to Canada and then Nicaragua.

Prosecutors said Kenneth Miller arranged for another person to drive the two from Virginia to Buffalo, N.Y., where they crossed into Canada and were picked up by an Ontario Mennonite who took them to an airport. After they arrived in Nicaragua, prosecutors said, the two were cared for by American Mennonites who felt they needed to protect Isabella from what they considered a sinful lesbian lifestyle.

The U.S. does not have an extradition treaty with Nicaragua. The country is not a signer of the 1980 Hague convention on international child abductions, which is designed to return children illegally taken

from member countries.

Lisa Miller and Jenkins entered into a civil union in Vermont in 2000, shortly after the state became the first to legally recognize same-sex relationships.

Miller conceived the child through artificial insemination, and both acted as parents.

Lisa Miller later became an evangelical Christian and renounced her homosexuality. A child-custody case went to Vermont family court in 2004, after the couple dissolved the civil union. Lisa Miller, who moved to Lynchburg, Va., was given primary custody of Isabella, with Jenkins given visitation rights.

Lisa Miller appealed the case for years, but ultimately the courts in Virginia and Vermont determined the case would be bound by the Vermont family court order. After defying visitation orders, Miller became a fugitive in 2009 when she disappeared with Isabella.

Charges were dropped in October against an American Mennonite missionary living in Nicaragua, Timothy Miller, who is not related to the other Millers. Prosecutors said he helped Lisa Miller reach Central America; he cooperated in the case against Kenneth Miller.

Timothy Miller said in videotaped testimony that he knew Lisa Miller was fleeing the U.S. because of the custody battle but believed at the time that she had full custody of Isabella. He said he picked the mother and child up when they arrived in Managua and arranged a place for them to live in Nicaragua.

LACONIA — A New York man who was convicted of conspiracy to commit theft in early 2011 after a lengthy Internet investigation by the Gilford Police has filed a motion for a new trial citing new evidence and ineffective counsel.

Grady K. Cook, aka Sirgrady Law, now of Manchester, is scheduled to appear on his own behalf in Belknap County Superior Court on Thursday.

Cook contends that his public defender failed to ask certain questions of a key witness from Western Union and failed to assemble new evidence from instant message Yahoo! account.

The case began in the summer of 2008 when the victim, M.S. of Gilford, went to Craig’s List - a online Website where goods are bought and sold - to look for a roommate.

He got a response from someone purporting to be Cami Benson from Detroit who said she was relocating to the Lakes Region. After reaching a roommate agreement, Benson sent the victim a check for $3,000 - more than the agreed upon amount.

A few days later, she requested he send the $2,000 excess to cover her moving expenses and asked the check be sent to Cook at an address in Niagra Falls.

After M.G. sent the $2,000, he realized the $3,000 check was a fraud and reported it to Gilford Police.

Detective Chris Jacques and Sgt. Eric Bredbury began an investigation that would take Jacques into the nether world of Internet abuse, take Bredbury to the warehouse district on Lake Erie, and, after a jury trial in Belknap County Superior Court, send Cook to prison where he served 12 months of a 1 1/2 to 3 year sentence for conspiracy to commit theft. He is out on parole.

Jacques traced the money to Western Union where Cook picked it up using a photo identification and sent most of it to Nigeria.

Working with New York and federal authorities, Jacques learned Grady K. Cook had numerous criminal convictions in California, New York and Illinois and operated under an number of aliases including Sirgrady Law and Sirgrady K.C. Law Jr. Cook contends he is innocent.

He plead his case to a three-panel court of the N.H. Supreme Court and challenged that there was not enough evidence to convict him. He said the funds he transferred to Nigeria were “honestly owed to (him)” rather than the profits of ill-gotten gains.

The Supreme Court upheld the guilty plea because the evidence included he has possession of the victim’s money but no connection to the victim and that the victim had been directed by his potential roommate to send the $2,000 directly to Cook.

The court said that for “centuries courts have instructed juries that an inference of guilty knowledge may drawn form the fact of unexplained possession of stolen goods.”

Shot down by the Supreme Court that rules only on the evidence presented at Cook’s trial, his only recourse is for Judge James O’Neill to grant him a new trial based new evidence that couldn’t have been known to the jury when it found him guilty.

Asst. Belknap County Atty. Carley Ahern, in her response to Cook’s request for a new trial, states that none of the instant messaging through Yahoo! evidence or Western Union employee testimony is new.

She said the questions that Cook’s lawyer asked at trial don’t constitute “newly discovered evidence.”

“Those questions could have been asked at the original trial when the witnesses were on the stand testifying,” she wrote. “The defendant had opportunity to cross-examine all of the state’s witnesses.”

Cook’s motion for a new trial is scheduled to be heard Thursday at 9 a.m. in the Belknap County Court House.

DHHS proposes moving facility on State School land to make way for property sale

By Michael Kitch

LACONIA — The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), which administers the “Designated Receiving Facility “ (DRF), which houses a handful of sex offenders on the former Laconia State School property has included funding to relocate the program in its capital request for the 2013-2014 biennium.

Lawmakers who oppose selling the former Laconia State School property to the city, chiefly House Majority Leader Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett), stress that a sale would require relocating a facility at cost of a $1-million or more, or about half the fair market value of the entire 228-acre property.

Others, including Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, insist that with an annual operating budget of nearly $1.2-million, the facility is unnecessarily expensive to operate at its current location. Salaries and benefits of more than $1-million represent virtually the

entire operating budget of the facility.

DHHS proposes moving the DRF to the Glencliff Home for the Elderly in Benton and have requested $775,000 to prepare a secure facility at the site. The department ranked the request seventh on its list priorities for the forthcoming biennium. Projects at Glencliff, with a total cost of $1.6-million represent no less than six of the department’s seven highest priorities.

The city is seeking to acquire the entire 228-tract, but its effort is in limbo since the law authorizing the sale of the property stipulated that it first be offered to the city for $10-million and then to Belknap County for its fair market value. The city met the state’s $10-million offer with a counter-offer of $2.16-million, equal to the appraised value of the property. Last week the county declined the state’s offer and the property went to the open market.

Meanwhile, city officials expect to renew their bid at $2.16-million. The relocation of the DRF would remove a significant obstacle to selling the property.

TOILET from page 2 running water, electricity or a septic system, not discharge pollutants, preferably capture energy or other resources, and operate at a cost of 5 cents a day.

The United Nations estimates disease caused by unsafe sanitation results in about half the hospitalizations in the developing world. About 1.5 million children die each year from diarrheal disease.

Scientists believe most of these deaths could be prevented with proper sanitation, along with safe drinking water and improved hygiene.

The foundation expects to field test its first prototypes within the next three years.

Most of the prototypes on display this week in the open courtyard of the foundation’s Seattle headquarters turn solid waste into energy. This is both a practical and pragmatic solution to the solid waste puzzle, said Carl Hensman, program officer for the foundation’s water, sanitation and hygiene team.

Many recycle waste into other usable substances such as animal feed, water for irrigation, or even just energy and water to run their own systems.

Some, like the winning project from Caltech, use chemistry and engineering to completely transform the waste.

Clement Cid, a Caltech grad student from Trouillas, France, said it has been intellectually rewarding to work with scientists from a variety of specialties.

“You can come up with great ideas,” he said, adding that the toilet fair offered more opportunities for idea sharing.

Other projects on display were not so high-tech,

including one from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine that sends black soldier fly larvae inside latrines and even home toilets to process waste, resulting in high quality, environmentally friendly animal feed at a cost of a penny a day.

The fly larvae project is already being field tested in Cape Town, South Africa, and the inventors are working on a kit to sell to entrepreneurs. They have had inquiries from Haiti, Sudan, Kenya and Ghana about adopting the approach.

“At the end of the day it will look very low-tech, but there’s a lot of science behind it,” said Walter Gibson, a medical biochemist who is part of the development team.

The Gates toilet focus started just about a year ago, and including grants announced Tuesday, $370 million in foundation dollars have been committed to reinventing the toilet. Hensman said the foundation decided to hold a toilet fair this week to show how far the scientists have gotten in that time, and to give them an opportunity to learn from each other and potentially collaborate.

Among those scheduled to attend the toilet fair were government ministers from African nations, utility workers and potential financial partners like UNICEF and Oxfam.

Reinventing the toilet has the potential to improve lives as well as the environment.

Flush toilets waste tons of potable drinking water each year, fail to recapture reusable resources like the potential energy in solid waste and are simply impractical in so many places.

UPMC sends hepatitis letters to 2,000 patients PITTSBURGH (AP) — The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center said it sent letters Tuesday to about 2,000 patients who may have been exposed to hepatitis C by a former medical worker.

UPMC spokeswoman Gloria Kreps said the letters were sent to patients who underwent procedures or were treated in the area where radiology technician David Kwiatkowski worked in 2008, regardless of whether or not he was directly involved in their care.

Kwiatkowski was fired by UPMC after a few weeks in a temporary job but then went on to work at 10 more hospitals over the next four years. It is not clear when he contracted the disease.

In July, he was arrested in New Hampshire, where he stands accused of infecting at least 31 Exeter Hospital patients with hepatitis C by stealing fentanyl syringes and replacing them with dirty ones tainted with his blood.

KWIATKOWSKI from page 3 hired and they get fired and they can move on to wherever else they want.”

As Kwiatkowski made his way from one institution to another, the Pittsburgh incident was not even the only time he was accused of stealing drugs and fired.

Kwiatkowski, 33, became a radiology technician in 2003 in his home state of Michigan after completing a training program. He earned a degree two years later from Madonna University in Livonia, where he was a catcher on the baseball team and became one of the small school’s all-time leaders in two inglorious categories: passed balls and steals allowed.

Former teammate Mario D’Herin said Kwiatkowski was regarded as a liar. At one point, he claimed to have cancer.

“Then he said it was Crohn’s disease, and it was like the boy who cried wolf — nobody really believed him,” D’Herin said.

In court papers, the FBI said he admitted making up several stories about his life, telling people he had played his college ball at the University of Michigan or saying he had a fiancee who died tragically.

Investigators could find no evidence he was treated for cancer.

Kwiatkowski’s parents told investigators their son had problems with alcohol, anger and depression.

They also believed he had Crohn’s disease, a painful bowel condition sometimes treated with fentanyl patches.

Through jail officials, Kwiatkowski declined to be interviewed. His court-appointed lawyer would not comment. Nor would his mother in Canton Township, Mich.

Kwiatkowski has pleaded not guilty to stealing drugs and tampering with needles in New Hampshire. He told investigators he was innocent and suggested that a co-worker had planted a fentanyl syringe found in his car.

“I’ve already said it. I did not take any drugs or do any drugs ... and I’m gonna stick to that,” he said, according to the FBI account.

People involved in a 2010 incident at Arizona Heart Hospital tell a different story. Kwiatkowski was 10 days into a job assignment when a co-worker found him passed out in a bathroom stall. A stolen

syringe, bearing a label for fentanyl, floated in the toilet. In the emergency room, he tested positive for both cocaine and marijuana.

“I’m going to jail,” he moaned when he regained consciousness, according to an account given to state regulators by the colleague who found him.

This time police were summoned, but the officers decided not to file charges or even write up a report after being told that Kwiatkowski had flushed the syringe. “We had no evidence. We had nothing except what they told us,” said Phoenix Officer James Holmes, a police spokesman.

Hospital officials alerted Springboard, which had gotten Kwiatkowski the assignment in Arizona, and also informed the Arizona Medical Radiologic Board of Examiners, which took steps to revoke Kwiatkowski’s license. Springboard also sent a report to the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, the organization that 37 states rely on to verify that technicians have proper credentials.

But after learning police hadn’t filed charges, the national accreditation group dropped its inquiry without ever speaking to anyone at the hospital or the state licensing board, said a spokesman, Christopher Cook.

Just days after Kwiatkowski’s firing, he landed a new job filling in for striking technicians at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia. He faxed a handwritten note to Arizona licensing officials from a Philadelphia airport hotel saying he would surrender his license rather than fight the accusations.

If Kwiatkowski had been a doctor, that loss of his Arizona license would have jeopardized his ability to work anywhere in the U.S. But in this case, he had nothing to worry about. Like many other states, Pennsylvania doesn’t require most radiological technicians to be registered and doesn’t maintain records of disciplinary actions against them.

He soon moved on to other hospitals, including Hays Medical Center in Hays, Kan., where he worked in the heart catheterization lab and was involved in the care of 460 patients who are now undergoing testing for hepatitis C. Linda Ficken, 70, who went to Hays to get a pacemaker two years ago, was informed last week that she has been diagnosed with hepatitis C. The see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, August 15, 2012— Page 13

from preceding page Kansas health department said two other patients have been diagnosed with a strain of the virus closely related to the one Kwiatkowski carries. Further analysis is planned.

“I was pissed,” Ficken said. “And I still am. And also with the people that employed him, because he put me and my family in jeopardy, he put a lot of people in jeopardy and this is just going to continue to mushroom. Somebody fell down on the job someplace. He didn’t slip through the cracks on his own.”

Hospitals and the staffing agencies that routinely help them fill jobs are supposed to share responsibility for verifying that workers have proper licensing and good reputations. But four of the states where Kwiatkowski worked over the full course of his career — New Hampshire, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan — don’t even license radiology workers.

The institutions that allowed Kwiatkowski to keep working offered a variety of excuses and explanations as to how he slipped by various background checks and managed to get licensed in other states.

University of Pittsburgh Medical Center spokeswoman Gloria Kreps said that when he was accused of stealing fentanyl, officials did not contact police because they did not believe they had enough evidence. “We noticed unusual behavior, caught him with a syringe, but did not witness him in the act of committing a crime,” she said.

They didn’t alert the national credentialing organization, she said, because they felt that was the responsibility of Maxim Staffing Solutions, the agency that had placed him. Officials at the staffing agency’s parent company did not return calls for comment.

Matt Price, chief executive of Advantage RN, the staffing agency that got Kwiatkowski the position in Philadelphia, said his stint in Phoenix was so short that it was easy for him to hide that he ever worked there.

And because of the need to find strike-replacement workers fast, Temple asked the company to verify only the last two jobs held by each applicant.

So even though Kwiatkowski listed his Pittsburgh job on his resume, no one called the hospital for a reference.

In Kansas, which in 2010 became the last state to license Kwiatkowski, the Board of Healing Arts verified his education, national certification and other state licenses, but not his work history, said the agency’s lawyer, Kelli Stevens.

In the section of his application detailing previous jobs, he left out nine hospitals, including the two that fired him for suspected drug abuse. He answered “no” to a long list of questions about misconduct, saying he had never been disciplined or used illegal drugs.

He also asked the state to waive its requirement that he send a photocopy of his American Registry of Radiologic Technologists identification card. He claimed that his wallet had recently been stolen

and complained in a rambling email about having trouble getting a school he attended to send proof of his degree.

Cook, the spokesman for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, said Kwiatkowski’s case underscores the need for a national database of disciplinary actions.

The agency has about 315,000 technicians registered with it. It handles about 3,000 complaints per year. Last year, it issued 222 public sanctions for misconduct that ranged from criminal convictions to failure to follow professional standards.

“If ARRT had more access to information held by state agencies, employers and others, we believe this number would be higher,” Cook said.

Things finally began to unravel for Kwiatkowski in New Hampshire, where a temporary stint at Exeter Hospital starting in April 2011 turned into a permanent job in a cardiac catheterization lab. A co-worker complained that she saw Kwiatkowski acting strangely and sweating, with bloodshot eyes.

He was sent home after saying his aunt had died.

Another co-worker said he once saw him with white foam around his mouth. Others told of him shaking, sweating through his scrubs and frequently running off sick to the bathroom, sometimes in the middle of a procedure. A patient’s relative discovered a fentanyl syringe in a public bathroom.

In April, Kwiatkowski was charged with leaving the scene of an accident after he backed into a car and drove away.

In May, three doctors simultaneously reported that patients recently treated in the catheterization lab had tested positive for hepatitis C. Within days, Kwiatkowski was also identified as having hepatitis C, and he was suspended as the state began investigating.

In July, police in Massachusetts said they found him intoxicated in a hotel room with a suicide note.

He was arrested soon after.

Laboratory testing found that 31 patients had a strain of the hepatitis C virus matching the one Kwiatkowski carried, health authorities said. It isn’t clear when he contracted hepatitis C. Prosecutors said in court papers that they have evidence he tested positive at least as far back as 2010. Michigan officials said he tested negative in 2006.

In response to the AP story, Exeter Hospital on Tuesday called for mandatory disclosure by health care facilities about problem workers. The hospital said there should be a national registry system covering all workers providing patient care, and hospitals that share information should be protected from employment lawsuits.

Also Tuesday, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center said it sent letters to about 2,000 patients who may have been exposed to hepatitis C by the former medical worker. The hospital said the letters were not in response to the AP story.

Kwiatkowski’s license in New York is still listed on a state website as active and in good standing.

The musicians appear in typical Union Army uniform and period dress of the day.

The band was formed in 1999 by musicians from New Hampshire who wanted to combine their love of history and music. Since that time, members of the band have been able to find and have restored some rare brass musical instruments dating back to the 1850s, including over-the-shoulder, bell front, and upright saxhorns and keyed brass horns. Music played by the band comes from regimental band books of the Civil War from groups and units including the 3rd and 4th New Hampshire regiments, the Man-

chester Cornet Band, the 25th Massachusetts regiment, Squires Cornet Band and the 26th North Carolina Regiment Band.

The music includes waltzes, polkas, gallops, quicksteps, and love songs of the time, with such titles as Dixie’s Land, Lorena, Slumber Polka, Colonel Meeker’s Quickstep, Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground, and the Port Royal Gallop.

Concert programs include commentary on the instruments and the many roles bands performed during the war including providing entertainment for the troops, playing for the wounded in hospitals, serenading the officers at night, and providing music for various military functions.

‘The Turn of the Screw’ is last play for Winni Playhouse’s summer season

LACONIA – Don’t be surprised if the hair on the back of your neck begins to stand on end while watching The Turn of the Screw, the last play of The Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s summer season. Playwright Jeffrey Hatcher has adapted Henry James’ Victorian ghost story into a stage play which is presented as a two-person tour-deforce beginning on August 15th.

As in James’ original 1897 novella, The Turn of the Screw tells the story of a young Governess (Sasha Castroverde) left to care for two young children at Bly, an isolated mansion in the English countryside. Shortly after her arrival, the Governess begins to have visions of not one, but two malicious ghosts who seem determined to corrupt and posses the innocents in her care. Determined to save the children at all costs, she struggles to unravel the mystery of the ghosts’ motives and discover the key to destroying their power.

Described by Stephen King as “the quintessential ghost story,” The Turn of the Screw was originally published in serialized form and eventually became one of James’ most famous works.

James added a new spin to the traditional ghost story by writing the account of her adventures at Bly entirely from the Governess’ perspective, leaving the reader to interpret her account’s accuracy and truthfulness. More than a century later, critical debate rages on over the nature of the ghosts, the complicity of the children, and the sanity of the governess.

Castroverde is joined by Adam Kee, the longest running Winni Playhouse company member who has returned for his seventh season. Kee

plays the other characters that the Governess encounters during the course of the story including the children’s charming uncle, the housekeeper Mrs. Grose, and the nephew Miles. It is directed by Bryan Halperin with a set designed by David Towlun, lights by Jason Miller and costumes by Lesley Pankhurst.

Halperin says, “The Turn of the Screw is the perfect finale for our summer season, our last professional production in our Weirs Beach location. The intimacy of the space will help carry away the audience into the creepy world of Bly. Hatcher has done a marvelous job of adapting James’ work for the stage, leaving intact James’ murky intentions of whether the ghosts are real or a figment of the Governess’ twisted imagination, while planting plenty of new ideas that will allow audiences to decide for themselves whether they believe in ghosts! This play is like a mix of The Woman in Black and Shipwrecked – two of our most popular plays of past seasons! You won’t want to miss it.”

The Turn of the Screw may not be suitable for chil-

dren under the age of 12. Tickets cost $24 for adults and $22 for seniors/students. There are performances Mondays at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Tuesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.

August 15-25. The play is sponsored by Meredith Village Savings Bank.

For more information about performances visit www.winniplayhouse.org. Tickets can be booked by calling (603) 366-7377 or stopping by the theatre located in the Alpenrose Plaza in Weirs Beach.

Grandmother organizes swim on Lake Winnisquam in memory of 15-year-old slain in 2007 Family and friends gathered for a swim on Lake Winnisquam in Sanbornton on July 21 to remember James Alenson, who was 15 years old and a student at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in Mass. when his life was taken in a random act of school violence in 2007.

“It’s a way to do something positive”, said Diane Grotton, James’s grandmother.

She organized the swim from her home in Sanbornton and neighbors and friends drove motor boats or rode kayaks to escort the swimmers. The swim is held each year on the third Saturday in July.

The family honors James by providing partial and full tuition scholarships to teens for Outward Bound’s Heroic Journey Program, which is specifically designed for grieving teens coping with the death of a loved one. Donations may be made to The Boston Foundation. (Check off “Donor Advised Funds” in the third box and then enter James F.

Defending NH Public Education hosting forum on August 22 in Meredith MEREDITH — Bill Duncan, chair of Defending NH Public Education, will address a public forum on New Hampshire public education on Wednesday, August 22, 5-6:30 p.m. at Hart’s Turkey Farm Restaurant on Rt. 3 in Meredith.

Defending NH Public Education is a membership organization established in the fall of 2011 by citizens concerned about the future of public education in New Hampshire. The current focus is on the state Legislature with the concern that it is exceeding its mandate by proposing and enacting legislation that damages the state’s public

education system. Issues of immediate concern include the requirement that children attend school, the use of public funds to pay for attendance in private schools, higher education costs and school building aid.

Refreshments will be served. Donations of food for local food pantries are welcome. The forum is being sponsored by the Meredith-Center Harbor Democratic Committee, the Plymouth Area Democratic Committee and the Belknap County Democratic Committee and is open to all. Please contact Kate Miller at 279-4764 or katemiller@ metrocast.net with any questions.

Lozada files for divorce from former Patriot Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson

NEW YORK (AP) — Evelyn Lozada is ending her 41-day-old marriage to Chad Johnson after the football star was arrested for allegedly head-butting her over the weekend.

A rep for the VH1 reality star confirmed reports that Lozada filed for divorce on Tuesday.

“Given the recent events that have taken place, Evelyn has decided to file for divorce and move on with her life,” Lozada’s lawyer, Michael B. Gilden, told the TV show “The Insider” in a statement.

Johnson’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, declined to comment.

The marriage imploded on Saturday after an argument between the two

ended with Lozada being treated at a hospital for lacerations to her head.

According to Davie, Fla., police, Lozada found a receipt for condoms and confronted Johnson about it at dinner. The argument continued during their drive home, and when they arrived at their driveway, he allegedly head-butted her.

In a 911 call released by authorities, a neighbor told police that there was an incident involving a “high-profile person” and is heard telling Lozada to wipe the blood from her head. Lozada is heard saying that Johnson headbutted her, and the caller says Lozada will probably need stitches.

Get Fuzzy

by Chad Carpenter

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A new friend or colleague suddenly reminds you that your presence and your smile really light up a room. You’ll be inspired to light up more rooms more often.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Logic dictates that each step forward will advance your interests, but it doesn’t work that way. Progress isn’t always a straight line. But if you’re moving, you’re learning -- and that’s what counts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Accept only the tasks that you’re likely to finish in a matter of hours. If it might drag on forever, or if it requires a longterm commitment, say no for now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It may be that a friend hasn’t helped you quite as much as you would have liked.

Adjusting your expectations is better than confronting your friend. There are factors you’re not aware of that play into this circumstance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to let go of what you have to add something new, but you might choose to do so anyway in the name of living simpler and feeling lighter.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 15).

You commit to your life and believe in it more than anybody else. You’ll work with passion and net a stellar result in September. You’ll give loved ones more than what they want in October.

November brings love your way; people are attracted to how you think. Your positive mindset makes a May adventure possible. Gemini and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 1, 22, 39 and 18.

TUNDRA

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s time to tell that certain person who keeps trying to put you into a specific box that no one defines who you are but you -and that you’re not done defining yourself yet, if ever.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve never been closer to that dream that you’ve nurtured for so long in the depths of your heart. Don’t lose faith now, no matter how daunting the obstacles may seem.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your allies and your adversaries are both strong, and you wouldn’t want it any other way. You need both in order to stay strong yourself. A worthy opponent is a blessing.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your schedule will be intense. You will either fill your hours wisely or be pushed by them to do what’s expected of you.

Tonight the relaxation you find is well deserved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be in perpetual service to a project until you wrap it up and move on. Tonight’s extra effort to listen to and understand your loved ones will bring you closer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everyone has been tiptoeing on eggshells around a certain person, but the time has come to sit down and say what needs to be said in a loving and caring but very firm way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People are fickle. Everything you put into building good will can be undone with one strange comment or a minor event.

So be sure that when you do things for others, you’re really doing it for the enjoyment of contribution.

In 1998, 29 people were killed by a car bomb that tore apart the center of Omagh (OH’-mah), Northern Ireland; a splinter group calling itself the Real IRA claimed responsibility.

One year ago: A relentless barrage of bombings in Iraq killed 63 people, striking 17 cities from northern Sunni areas to the southern Shiite heartland.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I left a relationship of six years when my boyfriend became physically and emotionally abusive. We have two children together.

With my children’s well-being as my first priority, I decided to stay in the same town so they could have full access to their dad. Here’s the problem: My ex keeps trying to win me back, and I am not interested. Whenever I see him in order to drop off the kids for visitation, he always asks me to spend some time alone with him. I always decline, but he is persistent. It has become an uncomfortable situation for me. And if I have my new boyfriend (or anyone) with me when he comes to drop off the kids, he turns around and takes them back to his place.

I don’t want him to ruin my new relationship, but I still have to find a way to get my children to my ex. How do I make these weekly transitions less painful and awkward? -Pulling My Hair Out Dear Pulling: It might help if you could arrange the transfer of the children without your direct involvement. That means allowing someone else to meet your ex in a neutral location to hand over the kids, and then repeat the procedure when they are to be returned. If your ex is not cooperative and withholds the children when it’s time for them to come home, you should speak to your lawyer or a mediator. And please keep your new boyfriend out of the picture during pick-up and drop-off times. His presence only makes a difficult situation worse.

Dear Annie: I have been friends with “Sarah” for seven years, since we were in high school. After college, we continued to stay in touch, even after I married.

Last summer, Sarah got a new boyfriend. Since then, she rarely returns my calls or answers my emails. She often prom-

ises to write more next time and asks me to be patient, saying she really wants to see me.

I am surprised to find that Sarah has become such a fairweather friend when I’ve gone out of my way to keep in touch. Recently, Sarah mentioned that she would be in my city and that she’d like to meet up for lunch. After a few days passed, I called to ask whether she was still interested, and she said she’d already come and gone.

Is it time to cut off this friendship and explain my reasons?

Maybe she’d shape up. Her infrequent emails and texts imply that she still considers me a friend, although apparently only when she feels like it. -- Sad Sack Dear Sad: You can tell her why you’re unhappy if you like.

But it is not uncommon for some women to be so enthralled by a current beau that they neglect their female friendships.

Things may normalize in time, but it will require a lot of patience from you. We suggest you put Sarah on standby status for now. Continue to email and text occasionally in order to keep in touch, but don’t expect more. Either she will come around or the friendship will fade away naturally.

Dear Annie: I applaud your answer to “Feeling Inconvenienced,” the woman who is uninterested in developing a relationship with her son-in-law’s 5-year-old from his first marriage. May I take that answer a step further?

Dear Inconvenienced: Your choice will either forge a greater bond with your daughter than you have ever known, or it will create a chasm never to be bridged in your lifetime. Make the right choice. Give this child every bit of unconditional love you are capable of. Not only will you leave a precious legacy for the little one long after you are gone, but you will reap a harvest of inner joy for yourself beyond anything you could imagine. -- Grandmother in Azusa, Calif.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Mark Reynolds homered twice and drove in four runs, Omar Quintanilla also went deep, and the Baltimore Orioles beat Josh Beckett and the Boston Red Sox 7-1 Tuesday night.

Wei-Yin Chen (11-7) gave up one run, nine hits and a walk in six-plus innings for the Orioles, who moved 10 games over .500 (63-53) for the first time since June 24. Chen allowed at least one hit in each inning but was effective in minimizing the damage.

Beckett (5-10) surrendered six runs and six hits, including two home runs, in 5 1-3 innings. It’s been a nightmare season for the right-hander, 1-6 in 12 starts since May 20. In his past two outings against Texas and Baltimore, Beckett has yielded a combined 14 runs and five homers in 10 1-3 innings.

Reynolds hit a solo shot off Beckett in the fifth and greeted Mark Melancon with a three-run drive in the sixth. After totaling 113 homers over the three previous seasons, Reynolds has only 11 this year. It was his first multihomer game since last Sept. 21, when he connected twice against Beckett.

Playing in his fifth major league game, Baltimore’s Manny Machado was held hitless for the first time.

But he made two fine plays at third base, where he has yet to make an error.

Boston stranded 12 and went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position, a shortcoming fueled by cleanup hitter Adrian Gonzalez. He made the final out in the first, third and fifth innings, stranding a runner on second or third each time, and finished 0 for 4 with a walk.

Before the game, Gonzalez and teammate Dustin Pedroia dodged questions regarding a report that said they met with team owner John Henry and team president Larry Lucchino last month to complain about manager Bobby Valentine’s handling of the team.

Valentine also declined comment.

Quintanilla hit Beckett’s first pitch of the third inning over the right-field wall to put the Orioles up 1-0. He has four homers this season (including one with the Mets), after hitting only two in 227 games before this year.

Boston used a double by Cody Ross and an RBI single by Carl Crawford to pull even in the fourth.

Pedroia tripled with two outs in the fifth before Gonzalez grounded out. In the bottom half, Reynolds hit an opposite-field drive over the right-field wall to put Baltimore back on top.
