Gilford planners proposing reduction in need for seas of asphaltGILFORD — Seeking to limit the

expanse of impervious surface and the expense of unnecessary paving, the Plan-ning Board has proposed relaxing the off-street parking requirements for about half of all commercial and industrial uses

Gilford Planning and Land Use director John Ayer stands yesterday in the parking lot at the Winnipesaukee Crossing shopping center on Lake Shore Road.

GILFORD — In the wake of police offi-cer’s rejection of the latest proposed labor contract, selectmen have threatened to cut shifts and overtime to pay for wages and benefits required by the terms of the old contract. Under N.H. law the terms of the old agreement remain in effect until a new

According to Town Administrator Scott Dunn, the town’s and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 633’s negotiating units agreed on a contract but it was rejected by the rank-and-file follow-ing a vote on Dec. 29.

“If an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement cannot be reached

in the near future, Chairman [Kevin] Hayes has indicated the selectmen may be forced to curtail some overtime or reduce coverage on some shifts in order to continue to pay for wages and benefits that are required under the expired contract,” Dunn wrote in a memo to local media.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge on Tuesday ordered the personal physician of Michael Jackson to stand trial for involuntary man-slaughter after hear-ing testimony that he administered a dose of a powerful anesthetic and other sedatives then left the pop star alone.

The ruling in the case against Houston cardiologist Dr. Conrad Murray came after a six-day preliminary hearing before Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor.

Prosecutors con-cluded their case with testimony from two doc-tors who said Murray acted outside the stan-dard of medical care when he administered the anesthetic propofol and failed to provide proper care.

Both witnesses said that even if Jackson had self-administered the final dose of the drug, his death would be a

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Investigators on Tuesday revealed more disturbing details about the events leading up to the assassi-nation attempt against U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, including a menacing handwrit-ten note in the suspect’s home with the words “Die, bitch.”

And on the day of the shooting, a mum-bling Jared Loughner ran into the desert near his home after his father asked him why he was removing a black bag from the trunk of a family car, sheriff’s officials said. Loughner resurfaced later Saturday when authorities say he showed up at a grocery store in a taxi and carried out the rampage that injured 14 people and killed six, includ-ing a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl.

Investigators provided the new details to The Associated Press and said they’re still

Tucson suspect waved red flags on morning of shootings searching for the bag. They suspect it could contain clues into Loughner’s motives.

“The bag is very important to us,” said Capt. Chris Nanos, head of the Pima County Sheriff ’s Department’s criminal investigations division. “What was in that bag and is there any relevance?”

“What if he wrote a note that says, ‘Hey, I’m going to go do these things and I know it’s wrong but I’m still going to do them,’” Nanos said. “That’d be a pretty good piece of evidence.”

Authorities previously said they found handwritten notes in Loughner’s safe read-ing “I planned ahead,” ‘’My assassination” and the name “Giffords.” Pima County Chief Rick Kastigar and Nanos told the AP they also found notes with the words “Die, bitch”, which they believe referenced Gif-

fords, and “Die, cops.”All the writings were either in an enve-

lope or on an actual form letter Giffords’ office sent him in 2007 after he attended one of her political events, Nanos said.

For all of it, Loughner’s parents, silent and holed up in their home since the shoot-ing spree, apologized Tuesday.

“There are no words that can possibly express how we feel,” Randy and Amy Loughner wrote in a statement handed to reporters waiting outside their house. “We wish that there were, so we could make you feel better. We don’t understand why this happened.

“We care very deeply about the victims and their families. We are so very sorry for their loss.”

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — One of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ doctors declared Tues-day she has “a 101 percent chance of surviving,” as she made more progress, moving both arms and breathing on her own for the first time — just three days after a bullet shot through her brain.

Doctors emphasize she is in for a long recovery, and her neurosurgeon repeated his cautionary phrase of “she’s holding her own.”

But there was no denying what was clearly good news.

Giffords, a three-time Democrat, remains in critical condition at Tucson’s University Medical Center where she was operated on

Congresswoman Giffords moves arms, survival odds put at ‘101%’Saturday after being shot during a meeting with constituents outside a Safeway super-market. The attack killed six and injured 14 others. Six remained hospitalized.

Giffords’ improvement has been incre-mental, but impressive. Doctors previously reported she raised two fingers of her left hand and gave a thumbs-up when respond-ing to verbal commands. Now they say she is moving her arms.

“She has a 101 percent chance of surviv-ing,” said trauma chief Dr. Peter Rhee said. “She will not die. She does not have that permission from me.”

She also can breathe on her own but still

has a breathing tube in place as a precau-tion, said her neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Lemole.

In their briefing Tuesday, doctors also reversed themselves in describing the path of the bullet. They now believe she was shot in the forehead, with the bullet traveling the length of the left side of the brain, exiting the back.

Doctors previously thought she had been shot in the back of the head. They came to the new conclusion after reviewing X-rays and brain scans and consulting with two outside physicians with experience treat-

WOODWARD, Okla. (AP) — In a scene straight from the movie “A Christmas Story,” an 8-year-old Oklahoma boy got his tongue stuck to a metal pole after he licked it on a dare.

Officials say when rescue crews arrived Tuesday morning, the boy was standing on his tiptoes, trying to wriggle his frozen tongue free from a stop sign pole across the street from Woodward Middle School.

Paramedics were able to help the boy by pouring water on his tongue. Once free, the boy told officials he got stuck after his brother dared him to lick the pole.

The boy was taken to a Woodward hospital for treatment.

The scene was similar to one in “A Christmas Story,” a 1983 movie adapted from Jean Shepard’s memoir of a boy in the 1940s.

CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire Senate com-mittee is recommending the repeal of a 2008 state law that requires employers to honor existing provisions of an expired union contract until a new contract is in place — commonly called an evergreen clause.

The Public and Municipal Affairs Committee voted 4-1 Tuesday to eliminate the automatic exten-sion. The Senate could vote on the bill Jan. 19. Unions and employers could still negotiate ever-green clauses, but they would not be mandatory.

The law had strong support from employee unions as needed to keep some employers from walking away from negotiations and leaving no contract pro-visions in place.

But their bosses said it would mean maintaining current wages and paying steep increases regard-less of the economic conditions.

CONCORD (AP) — A House committee charged with deciding if a Democratic Party worker should be ousted from the New Hampshire Legislature is delaying its hearing until it learns more about its constitutional authority to remove the lawmaker.

Legislative Administration Chairman Paul Mirski said Tuesday he is canceling Thursday’s hearing on removing Manchester Democrat Mike Brunelle and

N.H. House committee delays hearing on ouster of repis scheduling a hearing later in the month so consti-tutional experts can give guidance to the committee.

Mirski said the committee won’t decide until after it hears from the experts whether to proceed with the complaint that Brunelle violated the constitu-tion by filing bills that support his party’s platform.

Democrats say the ouster attempt has no basis and is an abuse of power by the Republican majority.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A man who took his son to a gun fair where another boy accidentally killed himself with an Uzi submachine gun was ordered by a judge to testify in a manslaughter trial Tuesday after a ruling by a justice on Massachu-setts’ highest court.

Hampden Superior Court Judge Peter Velis in Spring-field had barred James Spielman’s testimony for undis-closed reasons at the trial of a former police chief charged in the death of 8-year-old Christopher Bizilj of Ashford, Conn., at the 2008 gun fair in Westfield.

But Supreme Judicial Court Justice Margot Bots-ford on Tuesday overturned Velis. Details of that ruling weren’t immediately available.

Spielman, of Ellington, Conn., took the witness stand Tuesday afternoon in the trial of former Pelham, Mass., Police Chief Edward Fleury, whose company co-sponsored the gun fair at the Westfield Sportsman’s Club. Spielman is expected to be the prosecution’s final witness.

Velis, after Botsford’s ruling, ordered Spielman to testify after Spielman invoked his Fifth Amend-ment right against self-incrimination when pros-ecutor William Bennett asked him where he lived. Spielman and his lawyer declined to comment, and it wasn’t clear why he tried to take the Fifth.

Spielman testified on the trial’s sixth day that his

Father of 8-year-old who accidentally killed himself with Uzi at gun show order to testify at promoters’ trial

son also shot an automatic weapon at the gun fair on the day of Christopher’s death. He said he took video of his son shooting and other activities at the machine gun shoot, and the jury is expected to see a five-minute portion of the recording when the trial resumes.

Bennett alleges Fleury’s reckless and illegal actions in organizing and running the machine gun shoot led to Christopher’s death. Spielman’s video may offer glimpses into how the event was run. Ben-nett says it’s illegal for children to shoot machine guns in Massachusetts.

Fleury’s lawyer, Rosemary Curran Scapicchio, denies the allegations and has put some of the blame on Christopher’s father, emergency room Dr. Charles Bizilj, who allowed his son to shoot the 9 mm micro Uzi and took video. Jurors saw the graphic video last week. Dr. Bizilj wasn’t charged.

Fleury has pleaded not guilty to involuntary man-slaughter, which carries up to 20 years in prison, and other charges.

A major snowstorm was predicted for Wednes-day. Velis told jurors to return at noon Wednesday, unless they’re notified that the storm has forced a postponement to Thursday.

Velis also told jurors Tuesday that deliberations could begin on the trial’s next day.

There are many heroes who showed indomitable courage and grace under fi re during this weekend’s horrifi c Tucson massacre. Blowhard Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik was not one of them.

If the White House has any sense, President Obama will stay far away from the demagogic Dupnik and his media entourage when he visits Arizona on Wednesday to memorial-ize the victims. Indeed, if the White House is truly committed to unifying the country, it will explicitly disavow Dupnik’s vulture-like exploitation of the shooting rampage.

Within hours of the bloody spree, Dupnik mounted more grandstands than a NASCAR tour champion. A vocal opponent of S.B. 1070, the popular state law cracking down on illegal immigration, Dupnik immedi-ately blamed Arizona for becoming a “mecca for prejudice and bigotry.”

To date, there is no public evi-dence that accused shooter Jared Loughner was in any way moti-vated by the national rancor over illegal immigration and the Arizona law (though open-borders extrem-ists from the Justice Department on down most certainly wish it were so). When he complained about non-English speakers, Loughner’s non-sensical diatribes were aimed at illiterates in general — not illegal aliens — and “grammar control” by the government.

No matter. Dupnik vehemently singled out “people in the radio business and some people in the TV business” like Rush Limbaugh for creating the New York Times-patented “Climate of Hate.” Sound-ing more like an MSNBC groupie (which, surprise, he confesses to be) than a responsible law enforcement offi cial, Dupnik baselessly sug-gested that the shooting was part of a larger conspiracy and railed against “vitriol” from limited-gov-ernment activists who are stoking “anger against elected offi cials.”

Dupnik’s mouth has done more to stoke self-infl icted ire against elected government clowns than anything the right could muster against him. Had the hyper-par-tisan Democrat been more in tune with his job than the media air-waves, the murderous, maniacal gunman might have been stopped.

As Dupnik himself has now admitted, Loughner leveled death threats against others that were investigated by law enforcement — and then apparently shrugged off. Locals note that Loughner’s mother worked for the county and may have had some pull. Pima County College campus police reported fi ve serious

confrontations with the mentally unstable young man before he was kicked out of the school, which he decried as an unconstitutional “tor-ture facility.” Classmates said they feared for their lives. His friends say he was a pothead, a 9/11 Truther and a UFO conspiracist so kooky that even fl ying-objects adherents spurned him.

Despite zero evidence that Rush Limbaugh, cable news, the tea party movement or immigration enforce-ment activists had anything to do with Loughner’s warped attack, shameless Sheriff Dupnik shows no signs of shutting up.

The worst sheriff in America is walking in the footsteps of another infamous law enforcement offi cial who put fame, ambition and ideol-ogy above public safety: disgraced Montgomery County (Md.) Police Chief Charles Moose, the publicity-hungry Keystone Cop who grossly bungled the Beltway sniper attacks in 2002.

Like Dupnik, Moose let politi-cally correct assumptions drive his investigation and incessant press conferences. He insisted on hunting the wrong vehicle while the snipers’ Chevy Caprice (spotted by several witnesses and whose license plates had been checked by police at least 10 times during the shooting spree) got away. The hapless Moose clung to the notion that white militants in a nonexistent white box truck were to blame — leading to a string of unnecessary murders as the real shooters escaped capture for several deadly weeks. No matter. Moose cashed in on his notoriety, inked a fat book deal and beat a hasty retreat to Hawaii.

Dupnik is now following the same ill-gotten path. But decent Ameri-cans understand that he and his civilian counterparts have traveled a smear too far. Despite desperate attempts by the progressive left to pin the massacre on the “harsh tone” of its political opponents, a vast majority of Americans reject the cynical campaign to criminal-ize conservatism, suppress political free speech and capitalize on violent crime for electoral gain.

At the risk of being accused of inciting violence, you might say they’ve done gone and shot them-selves in the foot.

LETTERSFully automatic weapons are regulated by 1934 machine gun lawTo the editor,

One of the strangest (and short-est) letters to appear in these pages greeted me this Tuesday morning. It was written by Mr. Kent Warner. who asked what gives everyone the right to carry automatic weapons around and to please not throw up the second amendment as the answer?

Wow, now that’s a question so full of, what I don’t know? Well look Kent, the simple answer, whether you like it or not, is the Second Amendment. It states that, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shell not be infringed”. The justifi cation provided for that amendment is, “A well regu-lated militia being necessary to the security of a free state”. It is not the existence of a militia that creates the right but the right of the people to create a militia. Furthermore, just in case your interested, according to law (10 U.S.C., 311; 32 & U.S.C., 313) ,”The militia of the United States” is defi ned as to include all able-bodied males of age and some other males and females. This seems to me to make us all the militia of the United States although not actively of course.

Another thing I am somewhat con-fused about is the characterization of everyone carrying automatic weapons around. Although there is no prohibi-tion in the amendment itself regarding automatic weapons, for obvious rea-sons, full automatic weapons are regu-

lated by the 1934 National Firearms Act. I am not sure if this is the class of weapon to which you were referring because the term “automatic” can be confusing to those not familiar with it’s different applications. For instance you have the most general understanding of the term which refers to the fully auto-matic or machine gun. Pull the trigger and it spits out bullets until you release the trigger. Then there is the semi- automatic rifl e which automatically chambers a new round after each shot but requires the user to pull the trig-ger to fi re each round. Then there is the automatic pistol, and here the term gets a little confused because the automatic pistol is actually only semi-automatic like the rifl e of the same name. Just so I cover any other possibility, if a pistol were fully automatic it too would be covered by the 1934 machine gun law which, by the way, places strict regula-tions on ownership of any such weapon.

I understand it can be diffi cult understanding a subject with which one is not familiar and I hope I have been of some help to Kent and others who might have questions on this.

One other quick thought on another subject. Reading the letter written by my friend Russ Wiles I am once again amazed by his ability to 1. read my mind, and 2.express himself so bril-liantly. Great job Russ!

Saturday’s Meredith Regional Energy Fair will be compelling eventTo the editor,

Every once and a while there are events that are so compelling, that you just have to attend. A great exam-ple of that is the Meredith Regional Energy Fair this Saturday, January 15th from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Meredith Community Center. This free event hosted by the Meredith Energy Committee will bring together 30 vendors and 11 different presenta-tions focused on what the residents of our communities can do to reduce their energy consumption.

At a time when we are all watching our expenses and the cost of the energy we consume continues to increase; this event will bring real benefi ts to all who attend. The vendors, predominantly local, represent all the different com-

ponents needed to better understand what each individual can do, how to implement change and what are the economic implications. The presenta-tions fall into three categories: energy effi ciency, renewables energy sources and general interest, with case studies, product and service presentations plus a feature presentation from Tim Carter of “Ask the Builder” fame. The vendors have all been encouraged to provide energy relevant give-a-ways to those attending the fair and there will be a number of drawings for door prizes that will allow people to take immediate steps to improve their energy effi ciency.

The Meredith Regional Energy Fair is a win, win for the residents of the area.

LETTERSYou bet I’ll be thinking about who might be ‘packing’ in statehouseTo the editor,

What turmoil erupted last week in the heart of Tucson! How can we make sense of it? The political climate perhaps? Reasonable people repeat that it doesn’t help for Republicans to blame the Democrats; nor for the Democrats to blame Republicans for these times. However, I see a connec-tion between the ultra-rightists who have grabbed the Grand Old Party’s banner recently and the horror we are experiencing with the assassination attempt on Congresswoman Giffords that could end her public life, if not her actual life.

I can’t help asking, is there a con-nection between a culture of guns that we see surfacing here in New Hamp-shire and the killings in Arizona? Are the attitudes that activate the dan-gerous fringe popping up where there has been a radical move to the right? When speaking of guns, I am not talk-ing about hunting weapons but of guns whose purpose is to kill people. A Glock gun was used in Arizona. Come to fi nd out, my state senator is licensed to carry a Glock gun as a con-cealed weapon. I had never heard of the Glock gun until the day of the tragedy in Arizona when I discovered through a friend’s e-mail that my senator, Senator

Forrester, carries a pink Glock.I Googled “pink Glock” and came

up with a series of dismaying photos and descriptions suggesting the pink Glock as a fun gun that comes in dif-ferent patterns and color combina-tions: tailored pink and black, for instance, pink and white polka dots and pink Zebra-like stripes. The gun used against Congresswoman Giffords most likely was not pink as it would not refl ect the shooter’s self-image, but a pink gun can be as deadly. There is something especially sinister about a fun gun. What would Barbie carry?

Ours is a safe state, and I am con-cerned that the fi rst legislative action of the new leadership of the New Hampshire Legislature was not about fi xing the economy, not securing jobs, but was to repeal the long-standing ban against guns in the Statehouse. Will I think about who around me is packing when I consider testifying in Concord? You bet. Somehow, I thought most of us had come to realize that guns and violence go hand and hand, and I am disappointed in the lack of judgment and immoderation the repeal represents in this time when moderate action is so needed.

Once a baby is conceived, it begins a life, not at seven monthsTo the editor,

Choice. In a landmark decision the U.S. Supreme Court gave women the right to choose life or death for unborn babies. In the Roe vs. Wade decision made on January 22, 1973, the court decided that privacy rights allow that decision to be made up until the unborn infant reaches the point of “viability”, which the court said was “usually placed at seven months” into the pregnancy.

So, there we have it, the choice is allowed. So, the mom can choose to keep that living little babe inside her womb and nurture it to birth and beyond, preserving life and her child. Or, mom can kill the baby!

Once a baby is conceived, it begins a life. That life does begin then, and not at seven months into the preg-nancy. An ultrasound of an infant at

much earlier than the seven-month time line clearly shows a living baby with a beating heart, tiny baby arms, feet, and a head. If a Mom decides to kill that baby, what is done to the body parts? Check abortion methods. Sometimes the abortionist crushes the skull to be sure the baby is dead. Sometimes the little body is hacked to pieces and put in the abortionist’s incinerator. That’s what choice is all about.

So I urge anyone who is in the position to make that legal choice, to choose life for the baby. Or kill it.

Disgusting that left is playing politics with this terrible tragedy To the editor,

As a conservative Republican, I am outraged at the politicians on the left and the liberal media for even sug-gesting that the media on the right and the conservative talk shows have the slightest thing to do with this tragedy that has occurred in Tucson.

Long before television and radio existed, throughout our countries history, our politicians have been tar-geted and assassinated. This is proven fact and unfortunately our politicians will always have to face this threat.

It has been proven that Jared Loughren is a deranged and demented person and has been for years. The

heinous crime he has committed has nothing what so ever to do with poli-tics. And for the sheriff of Tucson, Joe Scarborough and all the others on the left to suggest it does is outrageous and down right disingenuous.

How they can even think of playing politics with a tragedy of this magni-tude is disgusting and they should be ashamed of themselves! Every one of them who had the audacity to even hint that this crime was politically motivated owes American conserva-tives an apology.

We will be waiting!Linda DupereCampton

LACONIA — While there is a lot of uncertainty about state funding for a possible Huot Technical Education Center renovation, the city began the process last night to make sure the school district is ready if, come June, the state is.

The Huot Technical Center Commit-tee, which consists of representatives from the Laconia School Board, the business community and some of the surrounding school districts, met at the SAU offices to begin its review of how much space would be needed, what pro-grams should be offered and where the future Huot Center may be located.

“Our charge is to review the program and make sure it is robust enough to satisfy the business community,” said committee Chair Joe Cormier.

Traditionally, the N.H. state budget has included money for the renova-tion and/or expansion of the state’s regional, secondary-level techni-cal education centers. Generally speaking, each budget biennium has included two renovations.

According to Superintendent Bob Champlin, Derry and Laconia are the two regions that will be included in the State Department of Education’s budget request for fiscal year 2012 and 2013.

The Huot Technical Center offers students from Laconia, as well as five surrounding school districts, an educa-tion in 12 different subjects, including plumbing and heating, culinary arts, multimedia communications and auto-motive and manufacturing technology.

Each sending community pays a pro-rated tuition for its student’s par-ticipation and, according to Champlin, provides the sending districts a great value for its students.

Historically, the renovation of the Huot Tech Center has been a bit of a political football, and in 2008, imme-diately following the completion of the new middle school, the Laconia City Council voted preemptively to “not allow” the school district to make its application to the state Department of Education for consideration.

Committee starts planning for renovation/relocation of Huot Center with no funds

When the topic arose again in 2010, the council endorsed an application to the Department of Education but has not formally committed any tax money to pay for the matching funds needed should the state portion of the project be approved.

Champlin said the district would qualify for a $10 million project — 75-percent of which would be covered by the state. He said 40-percent of the remaining $2.5 million would be eligi-ble for school building aid reimburse-ment, while the balance would need to be provided by the city.

Some of the challenges to any reno-vation or potential expansion of the Huot Center’s programming include limited space at the current site at Laconia High School, especially if two new programs in digital technology and health care are added, and how to get the pre-construction engineering and architectural work done without any type of budget.

“To get this done, we’re going to need professional help, but we don’t have any money,” Champlin said. “I don’t know how to do that short of begging.”

One suggestion is to get potential builders to do the engineering upfront in anticipation of being awarded the construction contract — generally about 10-percent of the total.

But to become a reality, the real onus lies with the newly elected legislature and the ability of the Department of Education to get Gov. John Lynch to include it in his budget proposal.

Should Lynch include it in his budget, Champlin said the discussion for funding would begin in the House Public Works and Highways Com-mittee and, fortunately for Laconia, Rep. Frank Tilton is one of its ranking members.

Should the bill pass through the Public Works Committee it would voted upon by the full house and then returned to the House Finance Commit-tee for approval. Rep. Colette Worsman of Meredith sits on the House Finance Committee and the Inter-Lakes School District is one of the five that feeds stu-dents into the Huot Center.

City Council would need to approve the balance of the project’s funding, which would most likely be in the form of a municipal bond.

increase of two-tenths of a percent.Superintendent Phillip McCormack

told the School Board that he was “very, very pleased” with the budget requests administrators compiled for the School Board. The board will spend all day on Monday examining the budget, last night’s presentation was simply an overview from McCormack.

A year ago, a divided School Board made considerable measures to trim department requests to a level where the overall effect on the budget was a modest increase over the previous year, enduring much public criticism

in the process. At the school district’s annual meeting, voters reversed some of the more controversial cuts.

“The budget refl ects, to an extent, an attempt to phase back in,” McCor-mack said, some of the cuts which remained at the end of last year’s pro-cess. “Even though we will be phasing some things back in it will not have an effect on the budget,” said McCor-mack, explaining that restored cuts will be funded using federal grant funds.

McCormack added that the budget “refl ects staffi ng patterns that are responsive to enrollments and refl ec-

tive of known needs of our learning disable population.” Inter-Lakes, like other local districts, has been experi-encing steadily declining enrollments for the past several years.

The budget request remains modest despite a budgeted increase of 14.1 percent in the district’s health insur-ance costs.

School board members did not offer a response to the budget overview. They received their budget books at the conclusion of the meeting.

During the public input section of the meeting, Selectman Miller Lovett told the board there was a need for

“broad-based dialogue about educa-tion, the cost of education and what we expect from it.” Lovett said he was speaking at the meeting only as a resident of the district and not as a town offi cial. “It is a dialogue that needs to take place here and is begin-ning to take place across the country.” Lovett said he hoped the “dialogue” would identify ways to lower the cost of education while improving the quality, and he hoped the discussion would involve representatives from all aspects of society. “You will hear more about this from me and from others,” he said.

the proposed 2011 budget, as rec-ommended by the both the Budget Committee and selectmen, includes $1,185,052 to fund the terms of the current contract.

The terms of the two-year contract agreed to in 2008 set a pay scale for 2009 that increased by 2.75-percent last year.

Police offi cers, including dispatch-ers, patrol offi cers, detectives and corporals are represented by the Teamsters who successfully organized the department in 2008. Employees whose ranks are sergeant and above are considered management and are not included.

In the town’s written statement, selectmen described the level of the union’s cooperation as “truly disheart-ening” noting how last year all town employees gave up their sick leave bonus days except the Teamsters.

Dunn also said selectmen were upset with the rank-and-fi le’s deci-sion to not get their health insur-ance through the Teamsters, which he said would have saved both the

town — which pays 92.5 percent of the premium — and the individual employee’s money.

When asked if the insurance plans were “comparable,” Dunn said the comparability “could be debated.”

“Meanwhile,” wrote Dunn, “Select-men are forced to ponder why one spe-cifi c group of employees is unwilling to make any concessions concerning benefi ts at a time when it’s common knowledge that taxpayers are strug-gling to make ends meet and all employment sectors, public and pri-vate, are faced with diffi cult economic realities.”

The actual voting results and the terms of the rejected contract are unavailable and Dunn said selectmen are also considering fi ling an unfair labor practice charge against the union for failure to negotiate in good faith.

But according to collective bargaining specialist Richard Coggon, a retired his-tory and civics teacher who advises the Laconia Education Association (teach-ers’ union), the selectmen’s statements regarding the potential reduction of overtime and shifts amount to “noth-

ing more than an threat” and should be considered “coercive” and an unfair labor practice.

Teamster police representative Ste-phen Colcord said in an e-mail that

homicide because of Murray’s actions.Murray’s defense attorney Ed Cher-

noff and prosecutors declined com-ment on the ruling.

Jackson family members welcomed the development.

“I’m happy so far,” LaToya Jackson said while walking to her car. Randy Jackson thanked prosecutors while fl ashing a peace sign outside the courtroom.

Murray, 57, has pleaded not guilty, and his attorneys have said he did not give Jackson anything that should have killed him. Murray could face up to four years in prison if convicted.

Pastor also granted a request by the California Medical Board to suspend

the Murray’s license to practice medi-cine in the state. Pastor said he made the decision in the interest of public safety and ordered Murray to notify every district in which he practices of the decision within 24 hours. Murray has clinics in Houston and Las Vegas.

During closing arguments at the preliminary hearing, another defense attorney, Joseph Low IV, argued the case should be dismissed because prosecutors didn’t adequately prove how Murray caused Jackson’s death. He also said Jackson’s health may have been a contributing cause.

“In contrast to Mr. Low’s comment, let me just say, it was not Michael Jackson’s time to go,” Deputy Dis-

Attorney David Walgren said. “Because of Dr. Mur-ray’s actions, Michael’s children are left without a father.”

One of the final witnesses Tuesday was Dr. Chris-topher Rogers, chief of forensic medicine for the Los Angeles County coroner.

During his cross-examination, defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan suggested Jackson could have swallowed propofol, which is meant to be adminis-tered intravenously.

While Rogers said that seemed unlikely, he said it would not have made a difference in his finding of homicide because of inadequate care by Murray.

Flanagan’s inquiry was the first indication of how his lawyers might defend Murray at trial. Flanagan has suggested Jackson could have injected himself intravenously while Murray was out of the room.

Rogers, however, testified that propofol should not have been present in the bedroom because it was meant only for hospital settings and, “If there was propofol there, the doctor should have been pre-

pared for the effects.”Rogers also said Jackson had a strong heart and

was mostly healthy.“The care was substandard,” Rogers said. “There

were several actions that should have been taken.”Rogers also testified that Murray was improperly

using propofol to treat the musician for insomnia, and that Murray was wrong to leave Jackson’s side while he was under anesthesia before he died.

Another witness. Dr. Richard Ruffalo, an anesthe-siologist and clinical pharmacologist, gave the judge an exhaustive rundown on the sophisticated medi-cal equipment that should have been present when Murray administered propofol in Jackson’s bedroom.

Among the devices were monitoring equipment for heart and lungs and resuscitation equipment.

“You need to know what you’re doing with the expectation your patient will wake up quickly,” Ruf-falo said. “Even if you’re using propofol for a short time, it can do a lot of unfortunate things, especially if mixed with other drugs.”

from preceding pagerequired 681 parking spaces — 515 for custom-ers, 86 for vendors and 80 for emloyees— based on the size of the facility. Noting that the maximum number of cars in its store in Salem, a much more populous market, was 193 on a Saturday morning, the company applied for and was granted a variance to eliminate 300 spaces.

However, a year later Opechee Construction Cor-poration, which built the Marriott hotel at Gilford Common, was denied a variance to reduce the pre-scribed number of parking spaces from 102 to 80. Speaking for the company, president Mark Woglom explained that although the standard for the industry was one space per room, the ordinance required 1.25.

As applied to retailers, the current ordinance requires one space per 150-square-feet of floor space and one space per 600-square-feet of stor-age area. The proposed ordinance requires one space per 200-square-feet of floor space for the first 50,000-square-feet and beyond that one space for 300-square-feet of floor space. The proposed ordi-nance adopts the industry standard for hotels of one parking space for each room.

Ayer said that if the proposed ordinance was applied to the parking area at Winnipesaukee Cross-ing, where in addition to Lowe’s a Hannaford super-market is planned, some 160 fewer spaces would be required. He explained that each parking space is 10 feet by 20 feet, or 200-square-feet, and in addi-tion requires another 180-square-feet as a turning area for a total of 380-square-feet per space. In other words, had the proposed ordinance been in place, the paved parking area at Winnipesaukee Crossing would be 60,800-square-feet or 1.4 acres smaller.

“That is a lot less asphalt,” Ayer remarked.Ayer noted that the proposal would also ease the

requirements for less extensive uses, including res-taurants, medical offices and veterinary clinics, while marginally increasing them for automotive service facilities and gas stations with convenience stores.

“The change is intended to reduce the stormwater run-off and unnecessary expense,” Ayer said.

The Planning Board is also recommending amend-ments to the zoning ordinance to permit acces-sory apartments in the natural resource and single family residential zones and to clarify restrictions on home occupations. Accessory apartments of between 300-square-feet and 1,000-square-feet but not more than 40-percent of the size of the host building with no more than two bedrooms would be permitted. Ayer said that the change is intended to increase the stock of affordable housing while offering homeowners an opportunity to supplement their income. He recalled that last year voters rejected a proposal to ease the development of “workforce housing.”

The board proposes to prohibit the visibility of most home occupations by restricting signage to six square feet and requiring materials and equipment be screened.

The Planning Board will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance on Tuesday, January 18 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall. The measures will go before voters in March.

ing combat victims.The brain’s left side controls speech abilities and

the movement and sensation of the body’s right side. Giffords’ doctors will not speculate on the potential for long-term disabilities. But she is lucky the bullet did not cross into both sides, or hemispheres, of the brain, which can do devastating damage.

As doctors continued to monitor Giffords’ recovery, details emerged about the care she received when she was rushed by ambulance to the hospital.

Trauma surgeon Dr. Randall Friese was the first to treat Giffords.

“I immediately went over to her bedside and began to coordinate her care,” he said.

That meant going through a checklist much like what a pilot would do before taking off. Doctors checked to make sure there weren’t any other bullet wounds, put in a breathing tube and assessed her mental state.

LACONIA — Police Chief Mike Moyer, in a letter to Diane Hanley, president of the Board of Directors of the WOW Trail, said that the recreational trail has improved the appearance and increased the safety of the areas through which it passes.

Noting that the police routinely patrol the trail on foot and by bicycle, Moyer said that officers enjoy the duty, which provides them with opportunities for physical exercise and to mingle with the public. He described the interaction between the police and the public on the trail as “outstanding.”

Moyer said that “the WOW trail has afforded citizens the opportunity to beautify what was once a rather drab landscape. What was once a trail of broken bottles and empty fifty-five gallon barrels

Laconia police pleased with effect of WOW Trailhas been replaced by beautiful murals, flowers and a very professional looking trail.” Continuing, he wrote, “It is a much safer area of town now that it has been cleaned up and restored.” The chief recalled that in the past the department fielded complaints about homeless people living near the path of trail and remarked “those calls have all but been erased.”

City Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) read Moyer’s letter aloud when the council met on Monday night.

The trail is, in effect, a city park because most of the land it uses is railway corridor leased to the city by the state. The WOW Trail group raises funds and coordiantes planning and construction activity.

LACONIA — Representative Don Flanders of Laconia, a Republican serving his sixth term in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, will chair the Insurance Sub-Committee of the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee.

In a novel move, Speaker of the House William O’Brien this week announced that the committee would be divided into two sub-committees, Insur-ance and Consumer Regulations and Banking and Business Regulations.

First elected in 2000, Flanders has served on the Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee

Rep. Flanders named chair of House Insurance Sub-Committeethroughout most of tenure. He is the chairman and treasurer of the Byse Agency, Inc. and the national director of the Professional Insurance Agents of New Hampshire, whose policial action committee named him “Legislator of the Year” in 2005.

The vice-chair of the committee, Representative Jenn Coffey, a Republican from Andover beginning her second term in the House, was appointed to chair the Banking and Business Regulations Sub-Committee. An emer-gency medical technician, Coffey is best known as a staunch champion of the right to bear arms.

The apparent target of the attack, Giffords, 40, was able to breathe on her own Tuesday at an inten-sive care unit here, another hopeful sign of her prog-ress, doctors said.

Meanwhile, the Arizona city shattered by the ram-page prepared for an evening memorial service and a visit from President Barack Obama on Wednesday.

In addition the new details about the hours before the shooting, interviews with those who knew Loughner or his family painted a picture of a young loner who did try to fit in.

Before everything fell apart, he went through the motions as many young men do nowadays: Living at home with his parents, working low-wage jobs at big brand stores and volunteering time doing things he liked.

None of it worked. His relationship with his par-ents was strained. He clashed with co-workers and police. And he couldn’t follow the rules at an animal shelter where he spent some time.

One close high school friend who requested ano-nymity to avoid the publicity surrounding the case said he would wait outside 10 minutes for Jared to leave the house when they were going out.

When Jared would get into the car, he’d say that it took so long because his parents were hassling him.

The parents of another close friend recalled how Loughner’s parents showed up at their doorstep in 2008 looking for their son, who had left home about a week before and broken off contact.

While the friend, Zach Osler, didn’t want to talk with the AP, his parents Roxanne and George Osler IV did.

With the Loughners at their house, Zach Osler told them the name of the local hotel where their only child was staying, Zach’s father said. Jared moved back in, he said.

After that, Osler’s dad sometimes would see Mrs. Loughner at the local supermarket, though they didn’t chat much. He recalled that every time he saw her she had at least one 30-pack of beer in her cart.

Loughner, now 22, would come over several times

a week from 2007 to 2008, the Oslers said.The boys listened to the heavy metal band Slip-

knot and progressive rockers The Mars Volta, stud-ied the form of meditative movement called tai chi, and watched and discussed movies.

Loughner’s favorites included little-known con-spiracy theory documentaries such as “Zeitgeist” and “Loose Change” as well as bigger studio productions with cult followings and themes of brainwashing, science fi ction and altered states of consciousness, including “Donnie Darko” and “A Scanner Darkly.”

Even in small talk, he struck the Oslers as unusual.

“He always said, ‘Hi, Mrs. Osler. How are you today?’ When he left he made a point of coming over and saying, ‘Thank you for having me over,’” said Roxanne Osler, noting that was not typical for Zach’s friends. “Jared struck me as a young man who craved attention and acceptance.”

Once he shared with the Oslers a short story he had written about a reporter meeting an angel during the apocalypse.

George Osler IV read it, thought it was well writ-ten, but couldn’t identify the point.

“He seemed like he was kind of offended that I didn’t get the message,” George Osler said.

Meanwhile, the unfailingly polite kid they knew was getting into trouble.

Loughner was arrested in October 2008 on a van-dalism charge near Tucson after admitting that he vandalized a road sign with a magic marker, scrawl-ing the letters “C’’ and “X’’ in a reference to what he said was Christianity.

The case was ultimately dismissed after he paid a $500 fi ne and completed a diversion program.

Even when Loughner tried to do good, it didn’t work out.

A year ago, he volunteered walking adoptable dogs at the county animal shelter, said Kim Janes, man-ager of the Pima Animal Care Center. He liked dogs; neighbors remember him as the kid they would see walking his own.

At the shelter, staff became concerned: He was allowing dogs to play in an area that was being

disinfected after one had contracted a potentially deadly disease, the parvovirus.

“He didn’t think the disease was that threatening and when we tried to explain how dangerous some of the diseases are. He didn’t get it,” Janes said.

He wouldn’t agree to keep dogs from the restricted area, and was asked to come back when he would. He never returned.

Loughner also jumped from paid job to job because he couldn’t get along with co-workers, according to the close high school friend who requested anonym-ity. Employers included a Quiznos sandwich shop and Banana Republic, the friend said.

On his application at the animal shelter, he listed customer service work at Eddie Bauer.

Loughner grew up on an unremarkable Tucson block of low-slung homes with palm trees and cactus gardens out front. Fittingly, it’s called Sole-dad Avenue — Spanish for solitude.

Solitude found Loughner, even when he tried to escape it. He had buddies but always fell out of touch, typically severing the friendship with a text message. Zach Osler was one such friend.

Loughner’s father moved into the house as a bach-elor, and eventually got married, longtime next-door neighbor George Gayan said. Property records show Randy Loughner has lived there since 1977.

Gayan said he and Randy Loughner had “differences of opinion but nothing where it was radical or violent.” He declined to provide specifi cs. “As time went on, they indicated they wanted privacy,” Gayan said.

Unlike other homes on the block, the Loughners’ is obscured by plants. It was assessed in 2010 at $137,842.

Randy Loughner apparently has not worked for years — at least outside his home. He did fi x up cars. Gayan said he had three “show cars” and two of Jared Loughner’s friends said he bought a junker 1969 orange Chevrolet Nova and made it pristine.

Amy Loughner got a job with the county parks and recreation department just before Jared was born, and since at least 2002 has been the super-visor for Roy P. Drachman Agua Caliente Park on the outskirts of the city. She earns $25.70 an hour, according to Gwyn Hatcher, Pima County’s human resources director.

“She’s worked hard, done a good job of keeping it looking good,” said Charles Ford, a former Tucson City Council member who is a board member of Friends of Agua Caliente Park.

Linda McKinley, 62, has lived down the street from the Loughner family for decades and said the parents could not be nicer — but that she had mis-givings about Jared as he got older.

“As a parent, my heart aches for them,” she said.She added that when she was outside watering

her plants she would see Jared riding down the street on his bike, often talking to himself or yelling out randomly to no one.

Once he yelled to some children on the street: “I’m coming to get you!” McKinley said.

Weirs Beach Lobster Pound Route 3, Weirs Beach

Although the location of 61 Business Park Drive remains a drawback, Wellington said that because the town owns the property the committee chose to recom-mend it as an option. The town bought the land and building for $1.5-million thinking it would house an element of the Titlon-Northfield Fire Department as well as the police department. When the Tilton-North-field Fire Commission balked and ultimately rejected sharing space with the police, the town was left with the 20,000 square-foot building.

Questioning the purchase, Wellington remarked that “the police department needed a mini-van, but we bought a school bus.” He conceded when the deci-sion was made “we thought we would have someone riding with us.”

Wellington said that 10,540 square feet, or 53-per-cent, of the space could be fashioned into a police station at an estimated cost of $1.8-million, which would include $275,000 as the town’s share of run-ning a water main along Route 132 to the property. In addition, he said that street lighting and side-walks would be required and perhaps also an alter-native means of access and egress.

Altogether the cost of the project, including the original cost of acquiring the property, is estimated at $3.8-million.

The second option would be to purchase two lots on East Main Street at the southwest corner of its intersection with Morrison Avenue, to form one nearly two-acre lot, known as the Maher-Rogers parcel. The purchase price of the lots would be $490,000. The site is served by municipal utilities. However, a traffic light would be required to ensure police ready access to Route 3.

The station itself would be a 12,800-square foot building, with a finished basement and ground floor. Two stairways and an elevator represent the differ-ence in size of the two floor plans, which in every essential respect would be identical.

The total cost of building on Maher-Rogers parcel, including the costs of acquisition and demolition, is estimated at $3.7-million. However, as several

speakers pointed out, if the police station is built on the Maher-Rogers parcel, the town must still ser-vice the debt incurred to purchase 61 Business Park Drive, at least until the building is sold.

Tom Gallant of the committee remarked that the town paid $1.5-million for 61 Business Park Drive , which was appraised for $900,000 a year ago. One resident said that the $600,000 loss on the prop-erty must be added to the estimate to build on the Maher-Rogers parcel, raising the real cost of that option to $4.3-million.

Selectman Pat Consentino suggested that wher-ever the police station is built, it could be a sound investment to run the water line to 61 Business Park Drive and nearby properties. She said that municipal water would boost the value and enhance the marketability of all the properties in Nickerson Business Park, including 61 Business Park Drive, which would increase tax revenues and employ-ment. She said that Nickerson has agreed to split the cost of the water line with the town and that project could be funded with a loan from the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Develop-ment at 3-percent. Consentino suggested present-ing a separate warrant article to fund the water line.

Dennis Gaudet of Autoserv was one of several speakers to favor 61 Business Park Drive. He said that Exit 20 was still growing and the Maker-Rogers parcel would appreciate in value, cautioning against stifling the tax benefit. He acknowledged a police station on Route 3 would be more visible, but said that other towns housed their police off the beaten track with no adverse effects.

Pat Clark alone spoke strongly against housing the police at 61 Business Park Drive. “I for one don’t want to have my police department in the woods,” he declared. Without dismissing issues of cost, he said that the overriding issue was “location, location, location.” Likewise, he warned that if the police began with just over half the space at 61 Business Park Drive, they would ultimately grow into the rest at ever rising cost to the town.

“If you buy a bus,” he quipped, “they will fill it.”

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — Sus-pected U.S. unmanned aircraft fired four missiles at a house in a militant-infested area of northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, killing at least four people, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

The U.S. has stepped up its use of drone strikes to target militants who use Pakistan’s lawless tribal area as a base to launch attacks against foreign troops in Afghanistan.

Most of the strikes, including the one Wednesday, have occurred in North Waziristan, the main base for the Haqqani network, which U.S. officials have said poses the greatest danger to American troops in Afghanistan.

The identities and nationalities of those killed in Wednesday’s strike were unknown, said the intel-ligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

Suspected U.S. missile strike kills 4 in PakistanTwo people were also wounded in the attack, which

hit in Khyder Khel village, an area that houses both militants focused on attacking Afghanistan and Pakistani government targets, said the officials.

The U.S. refuses to acknowledge the drone strikes publicly, but officials have said privately that they have killed several senior Taliban and al-Qaida leaders.

Washington has pushed Pakistan to launch an operation in North Waziristan, but the government has so far refused. The Pakistani army says its sol-diers are stretched too thin by military operations against Islamist militias in other tribal area.

But many analysts believe the army is reluctant to cross militant groups with which it has histori-cal ties, such as the Haqqani network, who could be useful allies in Afghanistan after foreign troops withdraw.

OBITUARYRev. Roger M. Leroux, 84

LACONIA — Father Roger M. Leroux, M.S., 84, a member of the Missionaries of Our Lady of LaSalette, Province of Mary, Mother of the Americas, died Saturday, December 11, 2010, at St. Francis Hospi-tal & Medical Center, Hartford, Ct.

Father Leroux was born in Laconia, New Hampshire, on February 15, 1926, son of the late Majoric and Philomene (Landry) Leroux. He attended LaSalette Seminary High School in Enfield, New Hampshire, and entered the LaSalette Novitiate in East Brews-ter, Massachusetts in 1946.

He made First Profession of Vows on July 2, 1947, and Perpetual Profession on July 2, 1950. After com-pleting studies in LaSalette seminaries in Enfield, New Hampshire and in Attleboro, Massachusetts, he was ordained to the priesthood on June 7, 1952, in Fall River, Massachusetts, by Bishop James M. Connolly. After ordination Father Leroux served as professor and prefect at the LaSalette Seminary in Enfield. In 1961 he left for the Philippines where he served as pastor and school director for five years. Returning to the States for studies, Father Leroux then continued his ministry in education, formation and administration for the LaSalette Community.

Over the years he played a significant role in the establishment of new LaSalette ministries. He was involved in programs of formation, education, LaSalette Associates, religious life, peace and jus-tice, Marriage Encounter, and chaplaincy for the

Daughters of Charity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Littleton, New Hampshire.

Father ministered at the LaSalette Shrine in Enfield at various times over the years. Parish ministry was also part of his life. He served as associate pastor of Holy Rosary Parish in Windsor, Ontario, and at Our Lady of the Cape Parish in Brewster, Massachu-setts. He also served on the administrative level of his Congregation as Provincial Coun-cilor in the Philippines and in Attleboro.

Ten years ago Father was assigned to the LaSalette Shine in Attleboro, Massachusetts, and in March of this past year as his health continued to fail, Father was named to residency at Hartford House.

In addition to his LaSalette Community, Father is survived by his sisters Lillian Gregoire of Laco-nia, New Hampshire, and Doria Morel of Biddeford, Maine, as well as several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by a brother Robert Leroux, and a sister Rita Boutin.

A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on December 15, 2010, at Hartford House, 85 New Park Avenue in Hartford, Ct. Burial was at Mt. St. Bene-dict Cemetery in Bloomfield, Connecticut.

A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, January 15 at 10am at St. Joseph Church, 96 Main Street, Belmont, NH. All are welcome to attend.

Contributions in his memory may be made to Missionaries of Our Lady of LaSalette Retirement Fund, 915 Maple Avenue, Hartford, CT 06114-2330.

Richter Uzur Duo presents unique musical blend at Brewster Academy on Sunday, January 16

The Richter Uzur Duo, presented by the Wolfeboro Friends of Music, will offer audiences a unique blend of Moscow classical, world folk, and London rock at Brewster Academy’s Anderson Hall at 2 p.m. on Sunday, January 16. (Courtesy photo)

WOLFEBORO — The Richter Uzur Duo, featur-ing classical guitarist Brad Richter and cellist Viktor Uzur, will perform in concert at Brewster Academy’s Anderson Hall at 2 p.m. on Sunday, January 16.

Honored with a Grammy Award nomination for their first album, “String Theory” the Richter Uzur Duo has appeared regularly on National Public Radio broadcasts of American Public Media’s “Performance Today.”

Classical musicians of the highest caliber, Rich-ter and Uzur both had successful international solo careers and intensive training from two of the world’s most lauded musical institutions — The Moscow Conservatory and The Royal College of Music, respectively. While developing into classi-cal virtuosi, however, they cut their teeth in rock bands – Uzur as an electric guitarist and Richter as a guitarist and singer. They also delved into folk and world music but eventually put those interests aside as they pursued their classical concert careers.

The Richter Uzur Duo are unique not just for the way they combine classical, rock, and folk music into original compositions, but for the way they collaborate. Because they live almost 1,000 miles apart, they do a great deal of composing over the phone and internet — writing parts separately, then combining and re-

developing them while on concert tours together.This is the fourth of eight programs presented by

Wolfeboro Friends of Music to people of the greater Lakes Region. Tickets may also be purchased by calling 569-2151. For more, visit www.wfriendsofmusic.org.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s one thing to face a certain direction and gaze longingly at the horizon. Reach-ing that horizon is quite another thing. It takes action -- consistent action. Keep moving and you will arrive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s time to measure your results. If this seems extreme or inconvenient, it very well may be so. Nevertheless, it’s worth the hassle. What gets measured gets done. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). By doing what comes naturally, you make yourself and everyone around you very happy. You will succeed at something you enjoy, and you will make it look easy -- because it is easy for you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will brilliantly bring together items, ideas and people that seem dissimilar. Your powers of assembly are impres-sive, especially to a Virgo or Pisces. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The one who remembers you fondly also wants to visit you. Are you ready for such an encounter? Your feelings about this indicate your satisfaction with life thus far. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Block interruptions so that you can concen-trate on what really matters to you. Your actions will train those around you to give you the gift of space and silence when you need it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Because you love someone, you’ll listen to infor-mation that wouldn’t normally qualify as “interesting” to you. You’ll even act like you enjoy hearing about it -- that’s how giving you are. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your

problem is quite circular in nature. The beginning leads back to itself. A total change of scenery will help you get into just the mindset to break the chain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are becoming savvier about how you use your energy. What you think and talk about certainly has merit, though it’s what you actually do that is really important. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The fi rst thing you thought of this morning was a strong indicator of your current mindset. Was it a problem in imminent need of resolution, or a proj-ect or relationship you can’t wait to get started on? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your sign mate John Donne was a poet, preacher and metaphysician who stated, “No man is an island, entire of itself.” You’ll live by the creed, sharing your knowledge and resources and asking for help, too. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It may take a while for you to clear your work-ing space -- things have gotten a little out of hand, you must admit. After the fi ling, cleaning and organizing, you can get down to business. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 12). Because you are so honest, good things happen to you this year. It takes courage to speak your heart, and people will open up to you as you do. A long-distance excursion brings money in March. May brings healing. There’s a celebration of love in June. In July, you’ll discover a talent you didn’t know you had. Pisces and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 22, 39 and 15.

Hill survey completed at Gunstock ski jumps

Ron Bell (foreground) of Bell Engineering is assisted by his son, Trevor, as he performs a hill survey of the ski jumps at Gunstock Mountain Resort. Bell was hired by the Gunstock Mountain His-toric Preservation Society to complete the survey as part of the restoration of the area’s four historic ski jumps. (Courtesy photo)

GILFORD – After receiving a major donation from Laconia Savings Bank late last year, the Gunstock Mountain Historic Preservation Society, a newly-formed non-profi t organization, was able to have a hill survey performed on the four ski jumps located at Gunstock Mountain Resort.

As part of the restoration project underway on the jumps, one of the initial steps required having a hill survey completed. The survey will give the orga-nization critical information on how many changes are necessary to the angles of not only the landing hills but to the structures of the jumps. Modern-day measurements and required angles will be over-laid onto the existing measurements of Gunstock’s jumps and landing hills, giving the preservation society a better idea of the steps involved in the res-toration process.

Ron Bell, president of Bell Engineering, a civil engineering fi rm based in Spofford, spent time at Gunstock recently in order to perform this survey. Accompanied by his sons, Trevor and Andachew, he spent roughly a week working on site at the jumps.

Bell performed the hill survey and designed the new jump at the recently restored Brattleboro, VT ski jump. He also designed the new jump structure located in Salisbury, CT, a restoration project that is nearly complete. The most recent topographic surveys at the Lake Placid jumps were also completed by Bell.

The jumps at Gunstock are very familiar to Bell and his brother, Rex. Both were, and still are, very much involved with the sport of ski jumping, and have both have jumped at Gunstock.

“The jumps at Gunstock are just great,” com-mented Bell as he took a break from his work. “With the four jumps here increasing in size at just the right increments, the facility here is one of the best for training as well as for competing. I am very glad to know that they are being restored.”

The Gunstock Mountain Historic Preservation Society is an all-volunteer non-profi t organization. For more information about the Society and to learn about volunteer opportunities, call 737-4360.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I am disturbed by my husband’s behavior. We were married in June, and I knew that “Clark” had a short temper. But an incident happened last night that frightened me. He became upset over a silly matter and screamed pro-fanities, called me a horrible name and threw one of our couch pillows at my face. Clark knows he has anger issues. I usually let these out-bursts slide because I understand he doesn’t mean the things he says, but last night changed that. I truly believe that had I been standing next to him, he would have physically harmed me. Clark is a kind and wonderful man, my prince charm-ing, until he gets upset. Then he becomes a completely dif-ferent person. I know people can lose their temper, but this is more than typical anger. If I talk to my family or friends, they would jump to conclusions about his personality. Do you think he has the potential to hurt me? -- Disturbed in W.V. Dear Disturbed: You bet. Someone who cannot control his anger could just as easily throw his fi st instead of a pillow. Even if he doesn’t intend to hurt you, it would be too late to stop. We’re glad he realizes he has an anger problem, but that’s only the fi rst step. He needs to get help -- for his sake as well as yours. Ask him to talk to his doctor about a referral to someone who deals with anger management, and insist that he make an appointment immediately. If he won’t go, or if you see no improvement within a specifi ed time, you may need to leave the marriage until he can control himself. Dear Annie: I’m 30 years old, married with two boys. My mother-in-law and I don’t get along. Even if I ask her, she does not want to watch our kids. She makes a big fuss about it and acts like it’s a huge burden. However, she will watch her daughter’s child any time, and this upsets me. Her favoritism is bad enough, but in the past month, she

seems to think it is my responsibility to fi nd a babysitter for her daughter’s child. That’s the last straw. I’ve talked to my husband about it, but he refuses to say anything to his moth-er. Should I stand up to her and tell her how I feel, or keep my mouth shut? I’m afraid if I speak up, it will ruin my husband’s relationship with his parents. -- Confused in Pennsylvania Dear Confused: Parents who treat the grandchildren un-equally usually reap what they sow. And it is possible that, no matter how delightful your sons are, two of them may be more than Mom can handle. Try approaching her with reconciliation in mind. Explain sweetly that your children would like to spend more time with their grandmother (baby-sitting or not). It could lead to a closer relationship. But either way, you are not obligated to fi nd baby-sitters for your sister-in-law -- although you might give her the names of some local teens who would appreciate the extra income and then let her handle her own arrange-ments. Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from “Pam,” who hasn’t seen her mother since she went into a nursing home. She said she wanted to remember Mom as she used to be. She said Mom would not know who she was. My mother also had Alzheimer’s. She may not have known who I was, but I knew who she was. I also knew how much I meant to her in earlier days, and how much she still meant to me. Both my sister and I visited frequently, even though I lived far away. When Mom died, we had no regrets. To the best of our abil-ity, each of us had done what we could to care, provide and love the mother who loved us through good and bad times in our lives. I echo your advice: “Go see your mother.” -- No Regrets

Meredith Village Savings Bank supports Laconia educational foundation

MEREDITH — Mer-edith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) recently contributed $5,000 to the Laconia Endowment Educational Foundation (LEEF) to aid the orga-nization in its mission to help secure quality educa-tion in the Laconia school district.

LEEF was founded in 1999 by a group of com-munity members who recognized the fi nancial challenges facing Laco-nia’s schools. Since its inception, the organi-zation has consistently provided an alternative means of fi nancial support for funding pro-grams, equipment, and technology in the Laconia school district. The programs and equipment funded by LEEF would be unavailable to Laco-nia students within the school’s tradi-tional budget.

“We’re very grateful for this gener-ous contribution from MVSB,” said Ron Tunning, LEEF’s board chair. “The support we receive from local community-oriented business like the Bank helps us ensure that the chil-

dren of Laconia are receiving quality education, and that the schools have all the necessary resources to signifi -cantly increase student achievement.”

Earlier this year, MVSB also contributed $5,000 to the Gilford Endowment Educational Foundation (GEEF), which provides fi nancial sup-port to help provide quality education in the Gilford school district.

For more information about LEEF, or to fi nd out how to contribute to the organization, visit www.laconialeef.org” http://www.laconialeef.org.

‘Father of Modern Ice Fishing’ Dave Genz to share ice angling strategies at free seminar in Concord Wednesday

CONCORD — The “Father of Modern Ice Fishing,” Dave Genz, will present a free ice fi shing seminar at the State Police Standards and Train-ing Building at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, January 19.

Getz is legendary in the world of ice angling, an expert who has taught thousands of anglers and is credited with many innovations in the sport including the portable ice fi shing shel-ter. A native of Minnesota, Genz has become a big fan of New Hampshire’s ice fi sheries. This will be his fourth trip to fi sh in the Granite State. “The ice fi shing is so good in New Hamp-shire, I just had to come back for more,” he said.

At the seminar, Genz will explain his “Modern Ice Fishing System” — strategies he developed to increase angler success on any species fi shed for through the ice. He will share helpful tools and tactics including the vital role electronics play in modern ice fi shing.

“Using the right equipment,” he said, “you could double your success.”

Called “Mr. Blue Gill” for his love of this fi ghting panfi sh, Getz’s presen-tation is wide-ranging. From trout to crappies, he will take attendees through his jigging techniques and tactics. He will also discuss proper jig selection, tipping jigs with live bait, and the new soft plastics that are gaining in popularity with ice anglers.

“Fishing with Dave has helped me bring my ice fi shing to a whole new level,” said Mark Beauchesne, mar-keting and promotions coordinator for NH Fish and Game and himself an avid ice angler. “Spending time with him at this seminar is the next best thing to going fi shing with Dave. With the big Meredith Rotary Derby just a few weeks away, this seminar will defi nitely help give you an edge.”

No pre-registration required. For more information, contact Beauchesne at 271-6355.
