Forum draws strong opinions on Pay-As-You-Throw BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Opinions were strongly held and evenly divided about a possible “PayAs-You-Throw” (PAYT) trash program among the some 65 residents who attended the public forum at Laconia Middle School last night. In opening the meeting, City Manager Scott Myers stressed

that the City Council was wrestling with the rising cost of collecting, transporting and disposing of solid waste, which is approaching $150 a ton, and considering PAYT as one way of reducing the tonnage of waste by increasing the volume of recycling. While encouraging people to consider PAYT, he invited them to suggest alternatives. “We need your help,”

he said more than once. Liz Bedard, a consultant retained by the city, explained that PAYT is intended to increase recycling by requiring residents to place the trash and garbage they do not recycle in a special-marked plastic bag purchased at local retail outlets. The trash, together with recyclable materials, is collected at the curbside once a week. She

emphasized that PAYT treats trash disposal like a public utility by ensuring that households and businesses pay only for what they generate, without subsidizing those who choose not to recycle. Bedard said that the city spends $1.3-million in property tax revenue a year to dispose of solid waste and estimated that see PAYT page 10

CHANTILLY, Va. (AP) — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is 78 and has battled cancer, was forced to slide down an emergency chute to evacuate a flight at Dulles International Airport on Wednesday that was grounded because of engine problems, a court spokeswoman said. Ginsburg was on her way from Washington to San Francisco and was not injured, said Supreme Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe Estrada. The captain ordered the evacuation of United Airlines Flight 586 after smoke appeared out of one of the plane’s engines, said United spokesman Mike Trevino. He said it wasn’t clear what caused the smoke, and that the emergency chutes were used to speed the evacuation. In all, 179 passengers and six crew members evacuated. The plane returned to the terminal after the passengers were off. see GINSBURG page 9

N.H.’s new deadly force law takes effect in 60 days CONCORD (AP) — Despite objections from law enforcement and a governor’s veto, the New Hampshire House passed a bill into law Wednesday that allows people to use deadly force to defend themselves any place they have a right to be. The 251-111 vote came a week after the Senate voted to override Democratic Gov. John Lynch’s veto. The bill becomes law in 60 days. Democrats complained that Republican House Speaker William O’Brien called for a veto override vote without notice to them or the public. His office had told the media that votes on vetoed bills were unlikely

Wednesday. Asked how the public would know when it was on the House agenda, O’Brien said: “The chair sets the agenda. It is now on the agenda.” The thorny issue of when veto overrides are considered came up in the past after O’Brien announced a vote on a collective bargaining bill would be scheduled, but no vote was called when O’Brien was unsure he had the votes to override the veto. Bill opponents have since had to attend every House session they could, not knowing if a vote would be held. That bill bars unions from collecting a share of bargaining and

administrative costs from non-members. Wednesday’s unannounced vote on the deadly force bill prompted new criticism of O’Brien for not being accountable to the public. The deadly force bill is based on the Castle Doctrine, which says a person does not have to retreat from intruders at home before using deadly force. The bill expands that principle to public places, anywhere the person has a right to be. The principle is known as the Stand Your Ground Principle. More than two dozen states have passed either one or both of the measures. Current New Hampshire law allows see DEADLY FORCE page 10

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire is considering repealing its gay marriage law and replacing it with civil unions for any unmarried adults including relatives. A House Judiciary subcommittee voted 3-1 Wednesday to recommend a repeal bill that also establishes civil unions for any unmarried adults competent to enter into a contract. The bill still faces a vote by the full committee next month and the House in Janu-

ary. The committee voted to recommend killing a second bill that would simply repeal gay marriage. The two proposed repeal bills would not apply to gay marriages that have already occurred, but would stop new ones. More than 1,500 New Hampshire gay couples have married so far under the current law. If the House passes a repeal bill, the Senate also must vote on it. Democratic Gov. John Lynch has repeat-

edly said he will veto attempts to repeal the law, which he signed in 2009. New Hampshire enacted civil unions in 2007 for samesex couples and two years later replaced it with the marriage law. Lynch also signed the civil unions law. New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, Vermont and the District of Columbia issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. New York is the latest see CIVIL UNIONS page 11

Setting grandma’s hair on fire Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme for these young people,” said Gov. Rick Perry in his first debate as a presidential candidate. “The idea ... that the current program is going to be there for them is a lie.” Pressed by the moderator, Perry did not back down. He doubled down, calling Social Security a “monstrous lie to our kids.” Is not such language provocative, Perry was asked. Retort: “Maybe it’s time to have some provocative language in this country.” Since Barry Goldwater suggested the program be privatized and LBJ ran an ad of a Social Security card being scissored in half, the issue has been “the third rail of American politics.” Touch it — and it kills you. Apparently, the Mitt Romney campaign thinks it is still the third rail. Falling on Perry’s perceived fumble, Mitt declared that Social Security “is working for millions of Americans, and I will keep it working for millions of Americans. ... Our nominee must not be someone who is committed to abolishing Social Security but ... to saving Social Security. Yet Perry never said he was going to abolish Social Security. He said, “We need to be focused on how we are going to change this program.” Karl Rove, however, piled on, as did ex-Romney aide Alex Castellanos: “Rick Perry may have reassured the base with some very fiery rhetoric, but what he didn’t do last night was prove in any way that he could win independents or seniors or soccer moms. And ... he shot an arrow into the heart of seniors. He set grandma’s hair on fire.” Well, perhaps. Yet, on the merits, Perry has more than a small point. For the Social Security program has been relentlessly looted by a Beltway political class that has used it for decades as the piggy bank of last resort. Social Security was originally designed in the 1930s to be a program where all workers would contribute during their years of employment into a trust fund, from which they would receive a small annual stipend to help with retirement, should they live to 65. In the 1930s, not everyone lived to 65. Indeed, from 1950 to 1955, life expectancy for the average American male was 66 years. In 1972,when Richard Nixon proposed a 10-percent increase in Social Security benefits, plus indexation — automatic annual increases to cover inflation — the Democratic Congress raised it to 20-percent. Fearing a congressional override if he vetoed, Nixon signed, then claimed credit for the most generous Social Security benefit increase in history, and went on to win 49 states. But the 1970s became a decade of soaring inflation, and Social Security payments, now indexed, soared

along with it. By 1982, Social Security was nearly bankrupt. A commission led by Alan Greenspan was appointed to save the system. This was done by raising the Social Security tax rate and tax base, and modestly increasing the age of full retirement. Americans were living longer. However, something else had been happening to the Social Security trust fund. The hundreds of billions that poured into government coffers in Social Security taxes each year had been borrowed by the U.S. Treasury and used for operating expenses — fighting wars, funding food stamps, etc. Thus today the Social Security trust fund consists not of gold, silver or tradable commodities and securities, but of special-issue government bonds, IOUs, a promise by the Federal Government to pay back what it has taken out and spent. If Ford Motor did what the U.S. Government has done — borrowed and spent all the cash the company, its employees and workers had contributed to their pension fund, and used it for wages, salaries and expenses, leaving IOUs in the vault — the executives would go to prison. What is Social Security today? Basically, it has become an intergenerational income-transfer program where working people contribute 6.2 percent of all wages, and their employers match it, and the money is then sent to the Treasury, which sends it out in monthly checks to the 50-million on Social Security. If incoming funds don’t match what Social Security recipients are entitled to, the Feds borrow the money from China or somewhere else. If incoming funds exceed what has to go out in Social Security checks, the Feds use the surplus to cover the deficits, and leave an IOU. And there are other and serious questions raised by the Ponzi scheme controversy. Is grandma’s generation, which fought World War II, Korea and the Cold War, more alarmed by Rick Perry’s red-meat rhetoric than by President Obama’s refusal to address the entitlement crisis threatening the fiscal and financial future of the republic? Is political correctness more important to Americans than hearing the unvarnished truth about the condition of their country? If so, the country is in trouble, not just Rick Perry. Another Texan from another time, “Cactus Jack” Garner, once said, “Sometimes you have to give it to ‘em with the bark on.” For an America going steadily downhill, such a time is now. (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 Col. Juve got off the track but he’s been around more than most To the editor, No better place for people to gather for such a remembrance service, such as the one held on this past Sunday for the Remembrance of 9/11, than Hesky Park in Meredith, where the “State’s Original POW/MIA Memorial” is etched with the words, “Let Us Not Forget”. It was the 10th year for the service, thanks to the work of Legion Commander and gentleman Bob Kennelly. I do think this year there were a few more people because of the anniversary and I’m sure feelings and thoughts were more clear and could bring each there right back to that September day. I had the opportunity to speak with a few people, including Richard Juve, before the service began . Mr. Juve is a retired Army and Marine Colonel and, yes, he’s a very proud Vietnam veteran. We discussed the wars and what had been going on over the past 10 years and the direction and differences of our feelings. He explained he was speaking as a veteran. I did not know what he was going to say, but “assumed” it would have something to do with the service of those son’s and daughter’s we, as a nation, sent off soon after that tragic day; under a theme of “Shock and Awe”, as we all

remember. A time when flags were seen everywhere and “patriotism” didn’t seem to make most cringe. Did Mr. Juve get off track? Absolutely! He expressed feelings that would have been better off left at the breakfast table at George’s. However, this retired Marine Corps Colonel has had more experience, more travel, and more contact with the issues involved in causing 9/11 than probably most in our area. I think the thought of those fighting the wars that followed 9/11 and the suffering of those that fight these wars and the suffering of their families on a daily basis may have been foremost on his mind because it’s fresh and daily. I think he’d say, “where are all the flags”? Sunday was about those who lost their lives on that day, and their families who still suffer and will never forget. I believe the colonel got tied up in the bigger picture and, because of his history, saw ALL of America’s sons and daughters and families who have given so much over the past 10 years. The term “Semper Fi” means “Always Faithful”, not just sometimes. I’m not speaking for Colonel Juve . . . but just a thought. Bob Jones Meredith

I will back my case against Obama’s citizenship with documents To the editor, James Veverka’s Sept. 6 irrational attack on Gene Danforth’s excellent and accurate previous letter proved only that James has very little understanding of U.S. government costs. He should follow Leo’s advice, and do some critical thinking. Our government’s cost of doing the many things they try and fail at, vary greatly between different projects. Thus the overall average can never match that of each project. Why doesn’t James look at actual government numbers, before attacking Gene by saying James doesn’t believe a word of it? His ignorance, or unwillingness to do the basic research, doesn’t change facts. I trust that Gene, a brilliant writer, will respond to James. Then, on Sept. 8, James makes a

a subject he clearly has no information or understanding of. I will try to help him by sending him, and (Sun editor) Ed Engler, copies of some of the many documents I’ve saved on the subject, Obama’a birth, education, passports, things that it is reported Obama spent almost $1,000,000 with many lawyers to suppress. That will be a massive amount of photo copying for me to do, which will take some time. Of course, to get it to James I’ll need his mail address: he’s not listed in the phone book. I suspect that James can find most of that information himself on Google, if he tries. Bernadette Loesch’s letter in support of James (Sept. 8) looks like smoke screen to me! Jack Stephenson

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 15, 2011 — Page 5

LETTERS New Hampshire needs a process for judicial review & retention To the editor, I was left completely amazed by the recent article about David Halterman’s latest escapade. Apparently the judiciary of this area do not consider someone who has fled charges twice to be a flight risk. The fact that he has once again escaped custody leads to two conclusions. First, the judge should be impeached for plain and simple incompetence. The fact that the judge who released Halterman was not identified points to either sloppy reporting by The Sun, or The Sun is protecting the judge from public embarrassment. Neither of these scenarios is acceptable. We need to know which judge released Halterman so the citizens of this region can apply proper pressure on our legislators to start impeachment. Second, New Hampshire needs to have a process in place for judicial review and retention. A retention hearing before the House Judiciary Committee every 5-years would prevent judges from continuing in their job indefinitely when they exhibit

poor judgement. I understand the argument against retention hearings, that judges need to serve for life because they have to have independence from the political process. I agree with the idea of judicial independence completely. The fact is that having a regular review of the performance of judges does not in any way compromise their independence. It simply allows our elected officials to remove bad judges in a much less political atmosphere than impeachment. Good judges have nothing to fear from retention, and bad ones, as is clear in this case, will have to answer for their poor judgement. Paul Cook Laconia (Editor’s note: The article in question reported that the motion to grant Mr. Halterman home confinement was approved by Justice James O’Neill. A motion for such treatment was offered by Mr. Halterman’s attorney and was not opposed by the Belknap County Attorney’s office.)

You probably didn’t hear about the union thugs rioting in Seattle To the editor, Holy smoke have you heard what those crazy Tea Party nuts did now? Well, out in Seattle, Washington about 500 of those s.o.b.s rushed the port of Longview with baseball bats and crow bars smashed everything up, took six hostages and, and, what? What? Oh, oh! Sorry folks my mistake it wasn’t the Tea Party after all. It was the ISWU defying a federal restraining order led by it’s president Robert Mc Ellrath. Well to get it exactly right Mc Ellrath wasn’t present during the attack but you can bet your butt he was behind it. The day before, when a police sergeant was threatened with a baseball bat, he was, and when 19 of his thugs got arrested he promised they’d be back. Kept his promise anyway. Now for all those disappointed lefty’s who have been telling people how dangerous the Tea Party could be, aren’t you ashamed of yourselves? How many times does this make that your good buddy’s in the unions have made liers and fools out of you. What’s it now, Unions 20, Tea Party zero, violence wise? Something like that I guess. But look, boys will be boys, or better

put, thugs will be thugs. I don’t know about you but I just can’t wait to see what they have planned for their “day of rage” on the 17th of this month. Oh yea. guess they couldn’t either. You know what else is kind of strange? The only network that reported on the incident was that terrible Fox News Channel. Now tell me again lefty how Fox tells lie after lie. Gee, they even had videos and interviews. So where was your news provider, covering up? Can the reader even imagine the news coverage if it had been a Tea Party operation as my little joke above made out? All the usual liberal progressive suspects in DC would be screaming for Homeland Security, FBI, Congressional investigations. We’d be hearing the “I told you so’s” from every left wing hack reporter and TV commentator in the world. So why are they so quiet now do you wonder? I don’t! That bunch of flops are in the bag telling you only what they want you to know “because you can’t handle the truth”, quote Jack Nicholson. Steve Earle Hill

We’re pleased Gunstock has created such an amenity for our area To the editor, On Tuesday, September 6, Patrick’s closed for business to take out our staff for our 17th annual staff outing. This year we chose Gunstock as our destination and we couldn’t have been happier. Approximately 60 of our staff and friends played on the Aerial Treetop Adventure course and the off-road Segway machines. They also let us try out the training Zip Line course which is only 1/10 the size of the full Zip Line Course coming soon… we can’t wait! To top it off we were provided with a delicious selection of food and beverage from their catering team. We wanted to thank the team at Gunstock for taking such good care of

our staff and providing really exceptional service… from the events manager, the staff out on the course, the food and beverage staff and the entire Gunstock crew. They exceeded our expectations in every area and contributed to one of the best staff outings we’ve ever enjoyed. We are so pleased that Gunstock has created such a great amenity for the Lakes Region and has surrounded it with such an outstanding staff. On behalf of the staff at Patrick’s, we thank you.

LETTERS Eminent domain shouldn’t be used to beneﬁt private company To the editor, The first eight months of my term as Grafton County Commissioner, District 3, have just whizzed by. I did, however, want to take a few moments to discuss the highlights of our county’s affairs. I began my term by keeping a promise I made to the citizens of Grafton County during my campaign. Once I was sworn into office, my first act was to voluntarily take a 10-percent pay cut. I feel that one must lead by example and in these trying economic times this was the least I could do to show my solidarity with my fellow citizens. Although “new” to Grafton County government, in particular, I am very familiar with county government in New Hampshire, in general, because of my previous service as a Sullivan County Commissioner. The Grafton County Commissioners meet each Tuesday at 9 a.m.. at the County Administration building in North Haverill. Initially, I familiarized myself with the many facets of Grafton County government and the constituent departments. During my tenure, I have endeavored to determine where viable savings can be made in the various county departments. The Grafton County 2012 budget reflects a significant increase over last year’s budget. I voted against this budget increase because I believe that significant reductions could have been made without adversely affecting core mandated governmental functions to help Grafton County taxpayers who are already overburdened with taxes. The county is currently undergoing a performance audit at the request of the County Delegation, the first such audit in at least 20 years. I believe that this performance audit will identify areas where processes can be streamlined or eliminated, which will result in cost savings. I promise to update you when the results are in and that I will be a proponent of implementing any viable cost saving measures identified. Additional issues with which I have been dealing, include a defective million dollar water tank, a proposed biomass combined power and heating facility, and looking at alternate forms of county produced energy sources, such as biodiesel. The Grafton County Farm continues to be a source of quality food for the inmates in the Department of Corrections and the residents in the Nursing Home. The 135 Grafton County Nursing Home continues to provide excellent quality skilled nursing care to our nursing home residents. The county has recently embarked upon a revenue producing timber cut in accordance with the county’s written Forestry Management Plan. The county is also in the midst of a major $33-million construction project. The new 150 bed Grafton County Department of Corrections Facility is expected to be ready for opening by mid-year 2012. Also, I am most impressed and pleased with the caring and dedicated service of the many employees at the Grafton County Complex in North Haverhill with whom I have had the privilege to meet over the last eight months. Northern Pass Project

constituents regarding the proposed Northern Pass Project. Everyone who contacted me was vehemently opposed to this project. I objectively read and researched all of the information available concerning the Northern Pass Transmission, LLC, 1,200 Megawatt Hydroelectric project and I have come to the same conclusion as those individuals who contacted me. The negatives associated with the project far outweigh any of the sketchy positives which have been presented. I have written to Governor Lynch advising him of my opposition to the Northern Pass Project and cited the following specific reasons for my opposition: 1. No homeowner should be subject to government confiscation of their property by the use of eminent domain by a private company for private gain. I fully support the concept detailed in House Bill 648. This bill would protect New Hampshire landowners from the immoral acquisition of their property by a profit seeking entity. I urge my fellow citizens of Grafton County to contact their State Senator and urge them to support this bill, which was referred back to committee during the last legislative session. 2. Although there are no conclusive studies which have been performed, there is an increased rate of “childhood leukemia” in children who live in proximity to high voltage transmission lines. My feeling is that until someone can definitively provide me with evidence that this is not the case, then we should not risk even one child’s health. 3. During these economically stressful times, I understand that the threat of the construction of 85 to 135 foot steel transmission towers has had a detrimental effect on the real estate market in all neighborhoods along the preferred route of the Northern Pass Project. I cannot think of a more inopportune time to impair an already weak real estate market. 4. Additionally, should the Northern Pass Project be allowed to proceed as proposed, it will seriously reduce the value of any homes in direct proximity to the HVDC lines. In turn, these New Hampshire home owners will rightfully request tax abatements, which, if granted, will necessitate that other homeowners in that same town will have to pick up the difference and pay more in their property taxes. 5. The greatest asset of our Granite State is her natural beauty as embodied by her lakes, mountains, rivers, streams, fields, and forests. The permanent scarring of our majestic White Mountain National Forest is, quite simply, repugnant. Tourism is paramount to our state’s economy. We must not allow any harm to come to that which has been our economic lifeline. 6.

LETTERS True genius of American people is a stretch too far for Obama To the editor, Millions say Barack Obama is killing America. Many believe it is a result of his pure inexperience, his ideological wrong headedness and illdefined character. The left has begun to discover with Obama’s presidency what the right discovered with Bush’s; they finally see through the man discovering how little is really there. Obama was raised in the post 60s, which in fact positioned him to be an adversary of American exceptionalism in the world. Believing that America’s success had in fact been the result of a grand bargain with the devil. Aggressive militarism, sexism, racism, corporate greed and environmental disregard were in fact the pillars of America’s economic, social and military supremacy in the world. In other words, America’s success rested on a foundation of evil. Obama did not campaign on a platform of anti-American exceptionalism. Yet, once in office, it has become clear that his views on where to apply presidential power was shaped by this brand of liberalism. Obama’s passion and devotion to BIG GOVERNMENT, wealth distribution and his endless demonization of the private sector and scapegoating of Wall Street have made Obama’s agenda of anticapitalism clear. Obama’s campaign fashioned on the audacity of hope was really one built on the frame work of anti-American exceptionalism America has elected a president with at best, ambivalence if not out right antipathy for the greatness that has defined America, the country he was elected to lead. America elected a black man to prove it had achieved perfect social mobility. However, the question looms large were they looking for someone to tear down the bedrock of America’s exceptionalism? America’s exceptionaism has been a hard and difficult road comprised of INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE as the engine of development within a country that strives to ensure individual freedom through the rule of law. America has evolved over decades

into a great nation despite its flagrant shortcomings. Our national exceptionalsim both burdens and defames us. We can make others anxious, envious, even resentful. The POLITICAL LEFT has taken issue with America’s exceptionalism. In fact, it has developed a fervent mission to tear down this greatness born of what it believes is sexism, racism, imperialism and unbridled capitalism. The problem is that the left is mired in an absurdity. It seeks to trade the burdens of greatness for the relief of MEDIOCRITY. When nations fade from greatness the world no longer seeks shelter in their arms. When there is real trouble in the world, the world no longer beats a path to their door. Think England! The political left now see American decline as a VIRTUE in the attempt to make us indistinguishable from other nations. Consider Obama’s socialism experiment to create the welfare state in the image of Europe. Moral and cultural relativism now OBSCURE INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY. America seems to be facing a pivotal moment. Do we move ahead by advancing or receding, by reaffirming the values that made us exceptional, or by letting go of those values so that a creeping mediocrity relieves us of the burdens of greatness? As president, Barack Obama has been a force extraordinaire for mediocrity he has put all his hopes on the interventions of government via bailouts and stimulus rather than betting on the exceptionalism of its people. Barack Obama’s greatest weakness as president is his limp belief in us, his countrymen. The true genius of the American people is a stretch too far for Barack Obama. America’s continued greatness and exceptionalism demands that stretch always be made. This opinion was inspired and in part paraphrased from the writings of Shelby Steele, a BLACK senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institute. Tony Boutin Gilford

Alleged Laconia heroin dealer said to have told police she was selling $2,000 a day Supplier is alleged to have been Manchester man now the latest facing charges related to OD death of 23-year-old mom BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Manchester man city police have charged in conjunction with the heroin overdose of a 23-year-old Union Avenue woman was ordered held on $500,000 cash-only bail in district court yesterday. Alfredo Gonzalez, 44, is charged with one count of selling a narcotic drug where a death resulted. Police affidavits, made available yesterday in the N.H. 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division said Gonzalez was apparently the boyfriend of Karen Mekkelson of North Main Street — who is also charged with conspiracy for selling the heroin that allegedly caused the overdose death of Ashley Denty, a young mother who lived in an apartment on Union Avenue. Using a series of unidentified informants and after reviewing the text messages and cell phone records of Denty and the people she used to help her procure the heroin, police said they were able to determine that Mekkelson’s supplier was Gonzalez. Paperwork indicates that on May 11, the day of Mekkelson’s arrest, she told detectives that she had been selling as much as $2,000 in heroin daily for

Gonzalez. She said she would give Gonzalez his proceeds before 2 p.m. in the afternoon and he would resupply her with more heroin. She said the day she sold the heroin to Denty, she had gotten 20 bags of heroin from Gonzalez who had told her that, because of some complaints he had gotten, that he had reduced the amount of “cut” or innocuous filler product used in this batch of heroin. Mekkelson allegedly told police that Gonzalez would get the already diluted heroin and she would sell it. She said she didn’t know who supplied Gonzalez with the heroin or where he kept it — only that he buried it in the ground somewhere. She allegedly admitted to selling as many as 600 bags of heroin weekly for Gonzalez before he left for Texas earlier this year. Police learned of Gonzalez exact whereabouts through a second informant who allegedly told them he was still selling heroin in the Lakes Region but was becoming increasingly afraid that he would be arrested in connection to Denty’s death. Police said Gonzalez has been know to move from place to place staying frequently at local hotels. He

has also stayed at an apartment on Garfield Street and one on Lincoln St. Along with Mikkelson, two others have been arrested and charged in Denty’s death. Stephen Marando, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to sell drugs with a death resulting and is serving a 3-to-10 year sentence in the N.H. State Prison. Mikkelson and Amanda Kelly, who was allegedly part of the daisy chain that led to Denty’s purchase of the heroin that killed her, are awaiting trial. Kelly was indicted by a grand jury for one count of conspiracy to distribute heroin, resulting in death and two counts of being an accomplice to the sales of heroin. Mekkelson was indicted on one count of conspiracy to distribute heroin, resulting in death, and on count of possession of heroin with intent to sell it. Police affidavits said they found 26 bags of heroin when she was arrested. Laconia Police Chief Christopher Adams said that while it is always a good thing to remove a suspected drug dealer from the streets, his department is continuing to investigate this case as well as a number of other drug-related crimes.

Gilford selectmen decide to stay the course in eliminating job in planning department CHIEF from page one “He’ll still be here when the next meeting is held. We’ll wait until then before deciding anything,’’ John O’Brien, chair of the board of selectmen, said after the meeting. Markland has served as police chief since July of 2005, when he succeeded Evans Juris, and had served as acting chief from December of 2004 until he was named chief. Juris had stepped up to take the role of town administrator, at first a temporary assignment. Markland got his start in law enforcement as a dispatcher with the Newport Police Department in 1985 and became a part-time and then a full-time officer with Newport in 1986, where he was also the

department’s K-9 handler. After coming to Gilford in 1988 he worked his way up the ranks, serving as a patrol officer, Youth Services officer, DARE officer and was promoted to corporal, sergeant and then lieutenant before being named deputy chief. Selectmen also announced that they were standing by their decision to eliminate a land use technician position from the Department of Planning and Land Use, a decision which drew fire from members of town’s Conservation Commission and Zoning Board at a board meeting last month. “We’re going to keep that decision in place and continue to look for other potential savings,” O’Brien

announced. In the audience was Stephanie Verdile Philibotte, whose position was cut, as well as members from both the ZBA and Conservation Commission. Selectmen said that they are still looking for $300,000 in cuts as they prepare next year’s budget. In other business the board approved the purchase of a refurbished photocopier from Conway Office Solutions, which, along with upgrades, will cost $5,173, less than half the price of a new copier. John Ayre, director of Planning and Land Use, said that the old 2001 copier used by his department is frequently out of service and that the service plan for the refurbished copier is roughly half the cost of that budgeted for the old one. The board also named Department of Public Works Director Sheldon Morgan as the town’s public health officer and David Andrade of the Planning and Land Use Department as deputy public health officer, and promoted Curt Young to highway superintendent. O’Brien asked Ayre to take a look at what he said were sign regulation violations, including one at the Paugus Bay Plaza where a large truck is parked near the road with a large sign calling attention to karoake nights at the Cacklin’ Crow Restaurant, Ayre said his department would check out that sign and also look at others which might be deemed in violation of sign regulations.

Police say $500 debt may have led to brief kidnapping & threatening of Northfield man BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

NORTHFIELD — Two Danbury men are being held on high cash bail for allegedly kidnapping and threatening a Northfield man at gunpoint Tuesday evening. Northfield Police Chief Stephen Adams said one of his officers went to a home on Summer Street when she got a call at 6:26 p.m. from a woman who said her boyfriend had just been forced into the back seat of a car at gunpoint. Witnesess to the abduction were able to provide police with a description of the car and handgun. The male victim said his two alleged assailants, George Newman, 41, and his stepson Eric Morgan, 28, both of 309 Waukeena Lake Road in Danbury drove him around for about an hour while threatening to kill him. During the drive, the victim said his wallet was RADIO CONTROL from page one planes are powered by a fuel blend, the rest use batteries and electric motors. Kyriax said it takes about $350 in equipment to get into the hobby. The planes may be small, what some might call toys, but the flying is real. The same principles of physics that pilots adhere to – thrust versus drag, lift fighting gravity – are just as present for those flying small planes. Wind conditions are still a factor, trees and the ground are just as foreboding. The ability to negotiate the forces of nature and to not only take off and land, but also perform barrel rolls, loops, nosedives and other maneuvers, keeps club members coming back. “I’ve always been interested in airplanes,” Kyriax said. He built his first model plane when he was six years old. “I’ve been building models ever since,” he said. On Tuesday morning, the plane he selected from his fleet was one he built in 1975, to the underside of which he affixed a servo-operated box that released a tiny parachuter upon his command. Watching the operation unfold, he said, “it gives you pride in your work to see that everything works.” Mark Boulton was another flyer at the club field on Tuesday. He had started building planes at fouryears-old, with his father’s help, then he moved away from the hobby when adult life proved distracting. Now he’s getting back into flying and, with a set of skis he can attach to his plane, he’s making up for lost time by flying outside, year-round. “I try to get out as often as I can,” he said. Boulton joined the club four years ago. He learned about the organization when he was driving by the Laconia Airport, where the club used to meet. “These guys have been great with helping me learn,” GINSBURG from page 2 Airport spokeswoman Kimberly Gibbs says three people suffered minor injuries during the evacuation, two of whom refused treatment, and one was taken to a hospital. One passenger, Jodi Gersh, director of social media for the Gannett media company, described feeling anxious on her Twitter feed as the plane was forced to evacuate. “My plane just had an emergency evacuation — down the slides. I am shaking. I don’t know why. People were screaming.” Later, she posted, “Attendants opened rear door to see where smoke was coming from. They then started very loudly yelling ‘everyone get out.’ Very scary.” Another passenger, Susannah Fox, said in an email to The Associated Press that the evacuation itself was “calm and orderly” and that passengers retrieved carry-on belongings row-by-row. They were directed to an airport lounge in anticipation of a flight later in the afternoon. Ginsburg, the high court’s oldest justice, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009. She underwent surgery and chemotherapy for the cancer and was hospitalized on two other occasions that year but is maintaining an active travel schedule that is taking her across the country at least twice this summer.

taken from him and he was taken at gunpoint to a pizzeria where he works so he could try and get some money for his kidnappers. When that failed they got back into the car and the victim said Newman continually threatened him with the gun and he was driven to the Webster Lake section of Franklin. He said Newman “continued to tell him that he was going to die, that he was going to kill him.” The victim said Newman also threatened him when he began to cry and when he tried to light a cigarette in the truck. Police photographed images of red round spots on the victim’s arm where he was allegedly pushed with the barrel of the gun. The victim said at some point, Newman allegedly ordered him to take off his shirt and Newman then threw it out the window. The victim told Police that “this time he really

thought he was going to be killed by Newman” and “that his life was over.” Instead of killing him, Newman and Morgan allegedly forced him out of the truck near Webster Lake and the victim was able to get a local homeowner to notify the Franklin Police. The victim said he owed Morgan $500 and told police that Morgan had said something to him earlier in the day but that he had no idea Morgan and Newman were going to come looking for him. Morgan is charged with two counts of criminal liability for the actions of another for driving Newman and the victim around in Newman’s truck and one count of criminal restraint. He is being held on $60,000 cash-only bail. Newman is charged with one count of armed robbery, one count of kidnapping, five counts of criminal threatening, and three counts of felony reckless conduct. He is being held on $100,000 cash-only bail.

said Boulton. Boulton is experienced enough to fly solo, a status John Bivinetto is working to achieve. Bivinetto was flying on Tuesday with the help of experienced flyer Tom Goss through the use of a “buddy cord” that connected their controllers. Bivinetto was the primary flyer and when he got in over his head it was Goss’s role to avoid disaster. It’s a good but not perfect system, a point proven when the plane they were controlling flew into a particularly troublesome tree. No harm was done to the plane, though Bivinetto’s pride might have been lightly bruised. When he’s not flying small planes, he’s an airline pilot who flies an A320 Airbus. “I’ve got to say, it doesn’t really transfer over,” Bivinetto said of his professional experience. Controlling a plane from the cockpit and doing the same from the ground are completely different tasks, he’s

learned. Flying for a job, he said, is “so structured, it’s nice to come here and do a loop and roll.” His employers frown on doing stunts in the Airbus, he explained. Max Rothemund, a member of the club, said new members are initiated following the regulations of the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Interested flyers are first given a ground course, then they are expected to log about eight hours of “concentrated flight time” with the assistance of a more experienced flyer. When they’re ready, they are then given an exam. They can fly solo when they pass the test. “We run it just like full-scale,” said Rothemund. The Winnipesaukee Radio Controllers welcome prospective new members. See wrcnh.org for more information, or stop by one of the weather-dependent flying sessions. “We’re here,” said Kyriax. “Anybody who wants to come, we’re here.”

PAYT from page one figure could be trimmed by more than $1-million by introducing a PAYT program that led to recycling 30-percent of all its solid waste. She said that some 100 municipalities in New Hampshire have adopted the program and none have abandoned it. Judy Krahulec, former city councilor in Ward 1, called PAYT “double taxation” and asked “how would I see a reduction in my property taxes.” Krahulec was echoed by a number of speakers who balked at the prospect of purchasing bags. “It’s just another increase in our taxes,” declared one man, who urged the councilors to reduce spending only to suggest that they increase the frequency of curbside collection in the next breath. “It’s another way for you guys to take our money,” echoed another man. “It’s hidden tax.” Fred Mason said that he and his family, which numbers nine children, have long regularly recycled, but said “we don’t want to pay for bags.” He suggested a greater effort should be made to encourage businesses to recycle.

Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) acknowledged that PAYT could be viewed as double taxation, but explained that as disposal costs continue to rise, property taxes must increase to pay them, leaving less to spend on other municipal services and projects. “Do we want to spend what we spend on roads on throwing away trash that we don’t have to throw away?” he asked. “I don’t see my tenants buying these bags,” said one landlord, who pointed out that there were nearly as many renters as homeowners in the city. “I think this is going to be a problem. Is it worth all the crap to put up with it?” he asked to a round of applause. Another man described Laconia as “a blue-collar town,” claiming that while PAYT might work in Concord and Dover and said “compare the median income of Laconia to those places and I guarantee you’ll be very surprised.” “I’m for it,” said Tammy Kristoffersen, who said that because she recycles and composts she expected to four bags a month at a $1 apiece. “I really don’t see what the problem is.” Karen Barker said that PAYT has succeeded in

Worcester, Massachusetts, a failing industrial community much larger than Laconia with many poor and immigrant families. “If Worcester can do it,” she remarked, “I would hope we can do it here. We can’t say renters are incapable of recycling,” she continued. “It’s insulting. We can be dragged into the future kicking and screaming or we can be proactive.” Joe Driscoll of the Weirs suggested rather than PAYT the city provide an incentive to recycle by collecting recyclable materials every week and trash and garbage every other week. “We have to do something,” insisted Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5), “and this is a way of doing it.” Returning to Lipman’s earlier remarks, he asked “what do you want to spend $1-million for — roads or trash?” He warned that as solid waste costs grew, there would be less to spend on road repair. “You’ve got to realize that we’ve got to do things differently,” Hamel said. Referring to the 100 cities and towns that successfully operate PAYT programs, he said “I find it hard to believe Laconia is the only that can’t.” DEADLY FORCE from page 2 people to use deadly force for self-defense in their homes. They can also use deadly force in public to protect themselves or others if they can’t safely retreat. Deadly force is not limited to a firearm, but could be a knife, baseball bat or other weapon. Law enforcement groups argue that expanding the law would put the public at risk of more shoot-outs by untrained people. They said gun rights already are protected under current law and if the bill becomes law, it would potentially increase violence in public places and make it harder to prosecute criminals. “The Legislature has chosen to put politics over public safety. That’s very unfortunate,” said Lynch spokesman Colin Manning. Supporters said the change would protect honest citizens. “No law-abiding citizen should have to turn his back on a rapist or a robber,” said state Rep. Jennifer Coffey, R-Andover. State Rep. Kenneth Kreis, R-Canterbury, said he had heard of instances where police showed up at a crime scene to investigate a shooting. That is too late to protect people, he said. “This is not a gun bill. This is not a deadly force bill. This is a self-protection bill. This allows you to protect yourself,” he said. State Rep. David Welch, R-Kingston, said he had faith in New Hampshire citizens “that those scenarios depicted by law enforcement of blood in the streets will not occur.” The bill also grants civil immunity to using force against assailants under some circumstances and repeals a minimum sentencing requirement for felony convictions that include possession, use or attempted use of a firearm. The bill also says brandishing a weapon isn’t considered deadly force under the law. “If someone uses deadly force in a public and — heaven forbid kills some woman pushing a baby carriage or a child two blocks away — they would be immune from civil liability,” state Rep. Stephen Shurtleff, D-Concord, said in opposing the measure. The brandishing provision was inspired by Moultonborough farmer Ward Bird’s incarceration on a mandatory minimum three-year sentence for showing a gun when a trespasser refused to leave his property. Bird was jailed in November and released in February after the Executive Council took the rare step of commuting his sentence.

Shoplifting arrests made in Gilford

GILFORD — Two women visiting the country, who allegedly sought to leave the Hannaford supermarket here without paying for the items they took from the shelves, were arrested Tuesday night. Aurelia Donici, 20, of Jassy in Rumania and Olga Bulat, 26, of Straseni in the Republic of Moldova were both charged with theft, a class B misdemeanor, and released on $800 personal recognizance bail pending their arraignment in Laconia District Court this morning. According to police, shortly before 9 p.m. on Tuesday officers were called to the supermarket where

Brenda Polidoro named executive director of Laconia Historical & Museum Society

LACONIA – Brenda M. Polidoro has been hired to be the new executive director of The Laconia Historical and Museum Society. LHMS President Debbie Frawley Drake last night expressed the enthusiasm of the LHMS Board of Directors over Polidoro’s appointment, saying, “Brenda is a passionate advocate for history. There is no question that her skills, experience, knowledge of the community and dedication to the preservation of history will be tremendous assets to LHMS.” Polidoro is a long-time resident of Laconia and the author of The Day Book of Jeremiah Smith Jewett (2011): a collaborative project with the Laconia Historical and Museum Society. This project began in 2005 and became a five-year process of transcribing 46 years and nearly 3,000 pages of Jeremiah Smith Jewett’s daily hand-written journals. These journals provide a riveting account of sometimes tragic and yet hopeful, positive times as seen by one person at the turn of the century. “It is an honor to have been chosen to represent an

organization such as The Laconia Historical and Museum Society,” said Polidoro. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for the manner in which this organization has served the people of Laconia for the past 60 years and their efforts to preserve and share local history. My hope is to raise awareness of the importance of historic preservation within our community and through that awareness, ensure that all of our citizens hold a deep regard for history and the lessons it will provide for the future.” Polidoro replaces Jenna Carroll, who left the position over the summer to take the job of executive director at the American Clock & Watch Museum in Bristol, Conn. She headed the Laconia society for four years and was the creative and organizational force behind a number of exhibitions that drew rave reviews. The Laconia Historical and Museum Society is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to collecting, preserving and interpreting the history and culture of the City of Laconia. The Society’s offices are housed in the Laconia Public Library.

CIVIL UNIONS from page 2 state to legalize the unions. When Republicans took control of the New Hampshire Legislature last year, conservatives began working to repeal gay marriage. House Republican leaders pushed successfully to have the Judiciary Committee hold onto the bills until January while lawmakers focused on the state budget. State Rep. David Bates, sponsor of the repeal bill winning committee support, said a civil unions law strictly for same-sex couples is not defensible because it treats gays as a special group. “There was no rational reason to limit that to same-sex couples,” said Bates, R-Windham. Bates said the proposal would allow any two adults — related or unrelated — to enter into a civil union and record the arrangement with the state. A civil ceremony would be optional, he said. “It follows the exact same process as a marriage.” he said. Tyler Deaton of Standing Up for New Hampshire Families, a coalition that supports the gay marriage law, said the bill goes out of its way to discriminate

against gays by allowing individuals to treat the unions as invalid if they violate their religious beliefs. “You can have a civil union, but it’s meaningless,” he said. Deaton said the bill doesn’t really create civil unions, but instead takes the state back to a time before it had a civil union law. Mo Baxley, executive director of New Hampshire Freedom to Marry, said the proposal would create something legally different than the state’s 2007 civil unions law that gave gays the same rights as marriage. “We don’t believe it is in anybody’s self-interest to hurt families or that the Legislature should spend time and energy hurting families rather than creating jobs and working on the economy,” she said. Kevin Smith of the conservative Cornerstone Action applauded the subcommittee vote to move ahead with a repeal bill. “We think that the amendment passed by the subcommittee today represents a common-sense compromise to what has been a very divisive issue over the last three years,” he said.

3 separate homes of members of same family burglarized last week; handguns & cash taken By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — A number of handguns were among some of the items taken from two Saltmarsh Pond Road homes that were burglarized last week. Gilford Det. Christopher Jacques said in a written media statement that some cash and change were taken from the two homes owned by people with “strong ties to each other.” He said a third incident on Parker Place in Laconia may also be related. One of the victims spoke with The Daily Sun and said he was away on vacation when his home was targeted. He said he believes the burglary happened sometime Monday night after 9 p.m. when a family member came to his home to check on things and early Tuesday morning when the same family member returned to feed and care for his dogs. The victim said his home was entered through a screen door and

whoever it was may have targeted the room where the handguns were kept. He declined to say how many or what kind of hand guns were taken, saying the police have that information along with the serial numbers and would prefer it not be released at this time. He did say some ammunition was also stolen, but that his hunting rifles or “long guns” were not taken. He said it appeared the door to the room where the guns were stored was forcibly kicked down as it is typically locked. The victim has arranged with police to provide a $250 cash reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest and conviction regarding these three incidents. Any one with any information is asked to call Det. Christopher Jacques at 527-4737 or Laconia Police Officer Daniel Carsen at 524-5257. The number for the Greater Laconia Crime Line is 524-1717 for those who wish to remain anonymous.

Harold Powell sent off to retirement with party at courthouse A retirement party was held at the Belknap County Courthouse on Wednesday for Harold Powell, who for the past three and a half years has worked as the county’s director of maintenance. He taught at the county jail for 20 years prior. County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen, in whose office the party was held, said, “It makes working here so much easier when you have someone like Harold in this position.” She said that whenever something went wrong with the facility, she only had to give Harold a call. “We appreciate so much what you do in this building.” Powell said he wasn’t sure how he would spend his retirement, noting that he would take a month off to think about it. Shown here, from left to right, are Guldbrandsen, county maintenance employee Gary Minery, Powell and maintenance employee Dick Ingram. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

company event in September 2009 that featured Vice President Joe Biden. The congressional panel examining the loan disclosed emails that appeared to show senior staff at the Office of Management and Budget chafing about having to conduct “rushed approvals” of federal loan guarantees designed to help jumpstart the nation’s renewable energy industry. Obama cited Solyndra as an example of how the economic stimulus bill would create jobs. But the company has since filed for bankruptcy and shed 1,100 workers, saying it couldn’t compete with foreign manufacturers of solar panels. Documents reviewed by The Associated Press show Solyndra spent nearly $2 million lobbying the federal government during the last four years.

Congress probes how solar company, now bankrupt , got $528M loan WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans questioned Wednesday whether the White House rushed approval of a half-billion-dollar loan guarantee for a now-bankrupt solar panel manufacturer once cited as the kind of renewable energy company worthy of federal stimulus money. Solyndra Inc. was a major presence in Washington and spent millions of dollars on lobbying there, particularly about the Energy Department’s loan guarantee program. And its executives raised thousands of dollars for Obama and Democrats in Congress. The collapse of the Fremont, Calif.-based company once touted by President Barack Obama ultimately left taxpayers on the hook for $528 million, raising questions if the loan was rushed to accommodate a

Red Sox lose for 6th time in 7 games BOSTON (AP) — Now comes the really hard part for the Boston Red Sox: four more games against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Red Sox lost for the sixth time in seven games, wasting an eighth-inning lead when Adam Loewen’s two-run single off hard-throwing Daniel Bard lifted the Toronto Blue Jays to a 5-4 win Wednesday. “It’s just another loss. I don’t think it’s any tougher than any other loss,” first baseman Adrian Gonzalez said. “We’ve got to find a way in the next series to play better baseball.” Just 3-10 in September, the Red Sox maintained a four-game lead in the AL wild-card race over Tampa Bay, which lost its second straight in Baltimore.

Boston led the AL East at the start of the month and was nine games ahead of the third-place Rays. After getting swept in a three-game series at Tampa Bay last weekend, Boston hosts the Rays in a four-game series starting Thursday night. “Very frustrating,” said Bard, 0-3 with a 30.86 ERA in his last three appearances. “I’ve been through it before. “Sometimes the effects are magnified by how big the games are.” Boston led 4-2 in the eighth before Toronto came back against the hard-throwing Bard (2-8), who entered and walked Edwin Encarnacion and Kelly Johnson.

Congressional liberals would apply Social Security tax to all income over $250K WASHINGTON (AP) — Nervous that Social Security seems under siege from all sides, congressional liberals on Wednesday proposed raising the payroll tax that funds the program, but only for people earning more than $250,000 a year. The legislation is designed to keep the pension program solvent for the next 75 years, which is the standard used by government actuaries, by putting an additional $6.5 trillion into the Social Security trust fund over that period. The plan also is intended to head off other efforts to overhaul the program or trim benefits, or to use its funds to help pay for debt reduction. “No more discussion about raising the retirement age, no more discussion about cutting benefits, no more discussion about privatization,” said Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., one of the sponsors. With Republicans making opposition to tax increases their mantra, the measure seems to have little chance of enactment. Nonetheless, it gives liberals a chance to underscore their support for the widely popular program at a time when President Barack Obama has pro-

posed cutting the payroll tax to help create jobs and GOP presidential contender Rick Perry, the Texas governor, has called its finances a “Ponzi scheme.” The bill’s sponsors noted that during his 2008 presidential campaign, Obama proposed raising the payroll tax on people earning over $250,000. He’s discussed the idea as president but has yet to offer legislation following through on it. Currently, workers and their employers each owe a payroll tax of 6.2 percent of a worker’s wages up to $106,800 a year. That tax would also be imposed on wages above $250,000 under the liberals’ plan. Other sponsors include Sens. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I. In an effort to boost consumer spending and create jobs, Obama last week proposed paring the 6.2 percent payroll tax on employees to 3.1 percent next year and cutting the payroll tax for employers as well. He would replace the revenue Social Security would lose with money from the government’s overall budget.

Shaheen says money for Berlin prison in funding plan CONCORD (AP) — U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen says a Senate subcommittee has approved a funding plan that includes money to open a long-awaited federal prison in Berlin. Shaheen, a Democrat, said Wednesday that the fiscal year 2012 funding legislation includes $6.6 billion for the Bureau of Prisons, and prioritizes funding for completed prisons that need money to open. Her office says the Berlin prison is among three

such prisons nationwide. The U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies approved the plan on Wednesday. Shaheen says the full Senate Appropriations Committee will take up the bill on Thursday. The 1,280-bed, medium-security federal prison was completed last year but has yet to open due to lack of operating funds from Congress.

Family Day highlights First United Methodist Church’s 150th anniversary celebration GILFORD — The First United Methodist Church is inviting the greater community to celebrate 150 years of faith on Saturday, September 17 with a day of family fun and festivities. Reaching back to the bygone days of 1860, the anniversary celebration will be held in old-fashioned camp meeting style complete with period costumes and a day overflowing with events held both outside and under a sprawling tent. A spirited Revival Service Friday at 7 p.m. precedes the anniversary celebration led by Rev. David Abbot, District Superintendent of the NH District of the UMC, beginning with music by Alice Beyrent and Rev. Victoria Wood Parrish. The main anniversary event begins at 10 a.m. Saturday with a welcome and kick off followed by lots of lively games for children and teens. A roaming magician will be on hand to entertain and delight.

The First United Methodist Church has overcome many obstacles throughout its history beginning with a failed start in the 1830s and reignited in 1860 by a few determined Methodists carrying on in the tradition of John Wesley. In April of 1861 Gove’s Hall in Laconia was procured and regular services held there until the building burned. Undaunted, the congregants worshipped in the Court House until the old Universalist Church on Union Ave. was purchased and remodeled. Between 1919 and 1924 the church was again remodeled with more land purchased in 1958. In 1967, Royal and Verna Smith who owned High Maples Farm transformed the forced urban renewal relocation into a blessing with the donation of the present Gilford property.

The church is widely known as a center for musical events including Pemi Choral Society performances in the 70s and 80s, and more recently the Lakes Region Singers and the popular Madrigal Dinners held in Fellowship Hall. “There is always an old foundation on which a new one is built,” said Pastor Victoria Wood Parrish of the church’s past. “The new is the reality that ties us to the past…over the years this church has had to change to meet the challenges of the day.” Honoring the past while building for the future is what this celebration is all about event co-chairs Rev. Randall Scheri and parishioner Charles “Chuck” French concurred. Noting that a six-week anniversary celebration takes more people than it’s practical to acknowledge, Rev. Scheri concluded, “Looking back to where we have been and what we have accomplished requires us to also look ahead to where the church of Jesus Christ will go in the future.” Rev. Scheri is a retired pastor and resident of the Wesley Woods senior housing development recently built on church property with 21 cottages in place. The church’s six-week long 150th anniversary winds down on Sunday, September 18 with a service conducted by the Presiding Bishop of the N.E. Conference of the United Methodist Church, Rev. Peter Weaver and District Superintendent David Abbot. Lunch in Fellowship Hall at noon will be followed at 3 p.m. by a NH District meeting of laity and clergy. In true United Methodist style the anniversary celebration will culminate on Saturday, September 24 at 7:30 p.m. with music performed by the popular Carter Mountain Band. There is no charge and a freewill offering will be taken.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There is a time to explore and a time to stand in what you already know and apply it well. Today fits the latter description. Stop asking yourself questions, and you’ll quickly become clear-headed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This is a wonderful night for dating, especially someone you have enjoyed dating before. It will be like the experience of re-entering a dream at the point at which you left off. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Good intentions may not guarantee good results, just as ill intentions do not always produce negative results. However, on some level, the feeling behind things can always be felt. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You spring into action helping others. Note that some of the people you are helping are not nearly as needy as you. However, you see yourself as capable and limitless. Though you have needs, you don’t dwell on them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may agree to run a tedious errand, meet with someone you’re not entirely comfortable around or finish up a nasty bit of work. You’ll operate from a deep sense of responsibility and because you just want to get it over with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes the way to make magic is to study the trick and practice it over and over until you can effectively fool an audience. Other times, like now, making magic is simple. Disappear, and then reappear with a mysterious smile. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One of your superpowers kicks in strong today. It has to do with attracting the perfect sidekick. Just when you have

Yesterday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 15, 2011— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Sept. 15, the 258th day of 2011. There are 107 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 15, 1961, the United States began Operation Nougat, a series of underground nuclear explosions in the Nevada Test Site, two weeks after the Soviet Union resumed testing its nuclear weapons. On this date: In 1776, British forces occupied New York City during the American Revolution. In 1789, the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs was renamed the Department of State. In 1821, the Kingdom of Guatemala proclaimed its independence from Spain. In 1857, William Howard Taft — who served as President of the United States and as U.S. chief justice — was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws deprived German Jews of their citizenship. In 1940, during the World War II Battle of Britain, the tide turned as the Royal Air Force inflicted heavy losses against the Luftwaffe. In 1950, during the Korean conflict, United Nations forces landed at Incheon in the south and began their drive toward Seoul (sohl). In 1959, Nikita Khrushchev became the first Soviet head of state to visit the United States as he arrived at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington. In 1963, four black girls were killed when a bomb went off during Sunday services at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. (Three Ku Klux Klansmen were eventually convicted for their roles in the blast.) In 1981, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to approve the Supreme Court nomination of Sandra Day O’Connor. One year ago: A mortar attack by Palestinian militants and airstrikes by Israel provided a grim backdrop as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas ended their latest round of peace talks still divided on major issues. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Forrest Compton is 86. Comedian Norm Crosby is 84. Actor Henry Darrow is 78. Baseball Hall-ofFamer Gaylord Perry is 73. Opera singer Jessye Norman is 66. Writer-director Ron Shelton is 66. Actor Tommy Lee Jones is 65. Movie director Oliver Stone is 65. Rock musician Kelly Keagy (KAY’-gee) (Night Ranger) is 59. Rock musician Mitch Dorge (Crash Test Dummies) is 51. Football Hallof-Famer Dan Marino is 50. Actor Danny Nucci is 43. Rap DJ Kay Gee is 42. Actor Josh Charles is 40. Singer Ivette (EE’-veht) Sosa (Eden’s Crush) is 35. Pop-rock musician Zach Filkins (OneRepublic) is 33. Actor Dave Annable is 32. Actress Amy Davidson is 32. Britain’s Prince Harry of Wales is 27. TV personality Heidi Montag is 25.

Ramsey Lewis trio at Local churches joining national back to church effort all-new Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro on Saturday LACONIA — Area churches are participating in nationwide event – National Back to Church Sunday on September 18. The American Religious Identification Survey showed that 83 percent of American adults identify themselves as Christians but the vast majority of them are not regularly attending a local church. Many of those people likely have attended church at some point in the past but for one reason or another they are not actively involved in a church. A recent survey showed that over 80 percent of those questioned said they would try church again if they were invited to a service. The National Back to Church Sunday is designed to help people that don’t presently attend church try it again or for the first time. Community Coordinator, Andrew Matthews explains why Laconia Churches are participating in National Back to Church Sunday, “We realize going

into a church service for the first time can be very intimidating, especially if you think you are the only visitor that week. On September 18, National Back to Church Sunday, half the people in church that day will be visitors. It’s a great day to check out one of the participating churches in the Laconia area.” Participating churches include: * Evangelical Baptist Church – 12 Veteran’s Square, Laconia. * First Baptist Church of Belmont - 49 Church St, Belmont. * Grace Capital Church – Laconia Middle School. * Lake’s Region Vineyard Church – 175 Mechanic Street, Laconia. * Laconia Christian Fellowship - 1386 Meredith Center Road. * Life Quest – 115 Court Street, Laconia. * Lochmere Baptist Church - 17 Church Street, Lochmere.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My sister, “Ruth,” has struggled with addiction to prescription medication since high school. My parents have been incredibly supportive for the past eight years. They helped her get into rehabilitation programs, paid for lawyers, car insurance, health insurance and food, and they allow her to live rent-free in their home. This past spring, Ruth finally finished vocational school, but instead of looking for a job, she spends every day in her room playing video games. She doesn’t contribute financially, nor does she help with basic household chores. Recently, she relapsed and ended up back in an outpatient rehab program. My parents are terrified to throw her out for fear she would (once again) attempt suicide. They have tried giving her deadlines to finish school, get a job and move out, but she always manages to manipulate my parents, and the deadlines pass and life goes on unchanged. This has destroyed my parents’ lives. My mother is taking medication for anxiety. My high-strung father is so stressed out that he has tantrums and screams in frustration. They have both told me they feel like prisoners in their own home. As a result of all the stress, my parents are separating. My mother thinks moving out will encourage Ruth to do the same. She also believes it will show my father that she will not tolerate his tantrums anymore. I have begged my parents to try counseling, but they are both reluctant to do so. I agree that Ruth needs to be cut free and my father needs to control his temper, but I think Mom is going about this the wrong way. I worry she is making a volatile situation worse. How do I help my family? -- Witness to a Powder Keg in Maine Dear Witness: We think your mother has had enough and is looking for the escape hatch. If your parents aren’t interested in counseling, please suggest they check out Families Anonymous (familiesanonymous.org) at 1-800-736-9805, Nar-Anon

(nar-anon.org) at 1-800-477-6291 and Because I Love You (bily. org). Dear Annie: I am in my early 50s and am a breast cancer survivor. Earlier this year, I had some blood work done and the results were questionable. Given my history, I was nervous and called the doctor’s office several times and got no response. When the staff finally answered the phone, the receptionist told me they had shut off the phones because they were watching the royal wedding. Although my test results turned out fine, I can’t get over how unprofessional the staff was. I haven’t said anything to my doctor, but I have an appointment next month. Should I say something? -- Upset Dear Upset: This was not only unprofessional, but it also could have put a patient in jeopardy and the doctor’s office at risk for a lawsuit. Tell the doctor, “You know, when I tried to call your office last April, I was surprised that you allowed your staff to turn off the phones to watch the royal wedding. Thank heavens, it wasn’t an emergency.” The doctor will take it from there. Dear Annie: The letter from “Miserable,” whose husband wasn’t interested in her anymore, could have been my story. One day, my husband said to me that our sex life was finished. I asked what was going on, I begged, pleaded, cried and yelled, but he insisted there was nothing wrong. Six years passed with little touching and no sexual activity at all. Finally, the truth came out. He had been having affairs. My advice to any woman who is experiencing this same problem is to ask your husband to get a checkup and then buy a GPS tracking device to see where he spends his time. We are now in counseling, trying to piece together our lost marriage. -- Any Woman, Anywhere

Judge Howard , PSU grad, speaking at Constitution Day program PLYMOUTH — U.S. 1st Court of Appeals Judge Jeffrey Howard will speak at Plymouth State University’s Constitution Day activities September 20. Howard, a Claremont native, graduated from Plymouth State College in 1978 with a B.A., and he received a J.D. from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1981. PSU Criminal Justice Professor Mark Fischler said Howard will speak about the meaning of the Constitution in today’s world. “We are so fortunate to have Judge Howard come to our campus and share some of his wisdom and experience in dealing with the Constitution and it’s meanings on a daily basis,” said Fischler. “Judge Howard is one step away from the Supreme Court so the cases that he hears and faces have implications for all of us.

Bush and was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2002. He was Bush’s only appointee to the First Circuit to be confirmed.
