BELMONT — Eight people, including four children, are lucky to be alive after a fast-moving fi re destroyed their home on Province Road (Rte. 107) early Sunday morning.

According to Fire Chief David Parenti, the blaze began at 2:10 a.m. and it appears the cause was the dis-posal of some ashes from a wood stove ear-lier in the evening.

He said adults in the home told them they had earlier received a call from their chil-

Ross, 58, had served as super-intendent of schools in the Newfound Area School District

since the fall of 2005 until she suffered what was an apparent stroke in late September while visiting with family members in Maryland. She appeared to be recovering when it was found that she had terminal cancer and she died on January 12.

LACONIA — The Belknap County Con-vention, voting largely along party lines, last night tied the hands of the Belknap County Commission while denying a pay raise and trimming the benefi ts of county employees — all much to the delight of all but a handful of some 75 of their con-stituents at a public hearing on the 2013 county budget.

Revolution: Belknap Convention majority strips commissioners of budget transfer authority & goes after wages & benefi ts

Although the convention approved the recommendations of its sub-committees to reduce a number of expenditures, the size of the dent in the $26.8-million budget proposed by the commissioners remains to be calculated. Rep. Colette Worsman (R-Meredith), who chairs the convention, said that she aimed to cut $1.3-million from the budget, which would entirely offset the 8.9-percent increase in the county tax burden projected by the com-

missioners.Shortly after Worsman opened the meet-

ing, Rep. Richard Burchell (R-Gilmanton) proposed stripping the commission of much of its authority over the budget, in particular it power to transfer funds from line-to-line within the plan. Reading from a prepared statement, the freshman law-maker, said that “the power of the purse belongs to you — the convention. The

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Police cited a man for riding a camel and obstructing traffic in Park City, Utah, as attendees of the Sundance Film Festival packed the town.

Jason Andreozzi was promoting a movie he directed that didn’t make it into the festival lineup.

Park City police cited Andreozzi for riding the camel along Park Avenue and Main Street on Friday afternoon. Police say they also gave him a warning about distributing flyers.

Andreozzi says he wasn’t impeding traffic while riding the camel, and he says he wasn’t handing out flyers.

Andreozzi’s film looks at Egypt during the Arab Spring, and he says he chose a camel because people identify the animal with the country.

The Sundance Film Festival began last Thursday and continues through Jan. 27.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Turning the page on years of war and recession, President Barack Obama sum-moned a divided nation Monday to act with “passion and dedication” to broaden equality and prosperity at home, nurture democracy around the world and combat global warming as he embarked on a second term before a vast and cheering crowd that spilled down the historic National Mall.

“America’s possibilities are limitless, for we pos-sess all the qualities that this world without bound-aries demands,” the 44th president declared in a second inaugural address that broke new ground by assigning gay rights a prominent place in the wider struggle for equality for all.

In a unity plea to politicians and the nation at large, he called for “collective action” to confront challenges and said, “Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of gov-ernment for all time — but it does require us to act in our time.”

Elected four years ago as America’s first black president, Obama spoke from specially constructed

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — The hostage-taking at a remote Algerian gas plant was carried out by 30 militants from across the northern swath of Africa and two from Canada, authorities said. The mili-tants, who wore military uniforms and knew the layout, included explosives experts who rigged it with bombs and a leader whose final order was to kill all the captives.

The operation also had help with inside knowl-edge — a former driver at the plant, Algeria’s prime

CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Senate is considering a bill to delay full implementation of a school aid law to prevent communities from getting less money this year.

flag-bedecked stands outside the Capitol after recit-ing oath of office that all presidents have uttered since the nation’s founding.

The events highlighted a day replete with all the fanfare that a security-minded capital could muster — from white-gloved Marine trumpeters who her-alded the arrival of dignitaries on the inaugural stands to the mid-winter orange flowers that graced the tables at a traditional lunch with lawmakers inside the Capitol.

The weather was relatively warm, in the mid-40s, and while the crowd was not as large as on Inaugu-ration Day four years ago, it was estimated at up to 1 million.

Big enough that he turned around as he was leav-ing the inaugural stands to savor the view one final time.

“I’m not going to see this again,” said the man whose political career has been meteoric — from the Illinois Legislature to the U.S. Senate and the White House before marking his 48th birthday.

On a day of renewal for democracy, everyone

seemed to have an opinion, and many seemed eager to share it.

“I’m just thankful that we’ve got another four years of democracy that everyone can grow in,” said Wilbur Cole, 52, a postman from suburban Mem-phis, Tenn., who spent part of the day visiting the civil rights museum there at the site where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968.

The inauguration this year shared the day with King’s birthday holiday, and the president used a Bible that had belonged to the civil rights leader for the swearing-in, along with a second one that been Abraham Lincoln’s. The president also paused inside the Capitol Rotunda to gaze at a dark bronze statue of King.

Others watching at a distance were less upbeat than Cole. Frank Pinto, 62, and an unemployed con-struction contractor, took in the inaugural events on television at a bar in Hartford, Conn. He said because of the president’s policies, “My grandkids will be in debt and their kids will be in debt.”

LACONIA – Area police departments are report-ing a spike in the number of concealed pistol permit requests while local guns sellers are also reporting an increase in weapons purchases.

Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams said his depart-ment traditionally gets about six or seven new or renewal requests monthly, however, he said, the aver-age since the Newtown massacre has risen to between 16 to 21 monthly.

Belmont Police Chief Mark Lewandowski said he has also seen a marked increase as have police in Tilton and Gilford.

Although the RSA 159:3 provides that the mayor of a city, selectmen of a town, the sheriff of an unincorpo-rated place or of a county who has a town without a police chief, can designate a particular person to issues licenses, locally all police chiefs assume that responsibility.

Lewandowski and Adams both said they person-ally review each application and sign it or decline it. Each chief also said about 98 percent of the people who apply are approved and, for the most part, the applica-tions are routine.

New Hampshire state law also prevents the disclo-sure of the names of applicants and the holders of con-cealed carry permits, except for law enforcement while performing official duties.

Adams said he thinks the recent surge in Laconia stems from Newtown and, in some part, fear that fed-eral lawmakers may try to restrict firearms sales and concealed carry laws. “We are seeing an increase in first-timers,” he said.

Gilford, Tilton, Belmont and Laconia say the aver-age increase of permits so far this year is about three-times for the same period last year.

In New Hampshire, which has some of the more relaxed gun laws in the county, a permit is only required to carry a concealed weapon. The cost is $10 while the fees for out-of-state residents is $100.

Adams said part of the process requires a background check and people with histories of domestic violence are not allowed to carry concealed weapons. Convicted felons are not allowed to own any weapons of any kinds.

Bob Gillespie, the owner of Belmont Fire Arms and Range, said he has seen a increase in all kinds of fire-arms sales.

He said his impression was that as soon as people learned about the Newtown tragedy they felt Presi-dent Obama would seek to restrict gun purchases.

“I actually expected a flurry of activity after the (November) election but didn’t see one,” he said.

Gillespie said he was shocked and saddened by the Newtown shooting and removed all his television advertising during the weeks following the shooting to show some respect for the victims and their families.

He also said that while he has seen an increase in the number of military-type, so-called assault weap-ons, he has also seen an increase in traditional hunt-ing weapons and shotguns.

Gillespie rents weapons at his range and said most people rent hand guns and hunting rifles.

He said he has also seen an increase in gun sales to women, a trend he said began after the machete murder of Kimberly Cates and the maiming of her daughter Jaime in Mont Vernon in 2009.

“Many people have a real fear of home invasion,” Gil-lespie said.

He also said enrollment in his gun safely classes “is over the top,” something he finds encouraging.

“I highly recommend first-time gun owners take some kind of training classes,” he said. He also said taking gun safety classes, whether with him or some of New Hampshire’s many ranges and gun clubs can also help a first-time gun owner decide which weapon is best for him or her.

Local police chiefs say they’re seeing big spike in application for concealed gun permits

There’s an old farmers story about a donkey. It seems that farmer, Ezra, had a donkey that was extremely useful. It plowed the fi elds. It car-ried the hay from the pasture to the barn. It pulled the wagon with supplies and even carted the family to Church on Sunday. Other farm-ers admired how much production Ezra’s donkey was able to provide.

One day another farmer, by the name of Elmer, came to see Ezra and offered him a good price for the donkey. Ezra thought for a moment and then accepted the offer. The next morning, Ezra brought the donkey over to Elmer’s farm and collected his payment.

The following Sunday, after Church service, Elmer approached Ezra and said that he wanted his money back, the donkey was use-less. It wouldn’t plow. It wouldn’t pull the hay wagon. It wouldn’t even pull the cart for the family to go to Church. Ezra agreed to go over to Elmer’s to see what he could do.

When Ezra got to Elmer’s barn, sure enough the donkey was sitting on its backside, doing nothing. Elmer saw Ezra arrive and headed out to the barn to meet him. As he was coming out, Ezra yelled to Elmer to pick up that 2x4 piece of lumber that was leaning against the fence, and to bring it to him. He did.

As soon as the piece of lumber was handed to him, Ezra hauled off and whacked the donkey right between the eyes. This stunned Elmer and he yelled, “Why’d you do that?”

Ezra looked at him and said, “If you want the donkey to do some-thing, fi rst, you need to get its attention!”

Keep that story in mind for a few minutes.

How often have we heard poli-ticians talk about “Eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse”? Probably too many times to count. And how many times have they told us what waste, fraud and abuse they elimi-nated? I’ll wait while you count to none.

Back in 1977, our government formed the Federal Department of Energy for the express purpose of reducing our dependency on foreign oil. Here we are, 35 years later, with 16,000 employees, an annual budget of over $27 billion, and we haven’t reduced our dependency on foreign oil. Where’s the donkey stick?

Back in 1979, our government formed the federal Department of Education. Education is not men-tioned in the Constitution, it is one of those things that was left to the

states. So, here we are 34 years later, spending more per pupil than every country in the world except Switzerland (they spend less than $200 per pupil more). Our results in math, reading, and science are mediocre, our overall graduation rates are in the low 70 percent range (50 percent in most urban areas), and our Federal Budget is over $77 billion a year (does not include state and local spending). Where’s the donkey stick?

Today, we are spending over $1.2 trillion more than we take in. We watch as the Legislative Branch attempts to rein in spending and is repeatedly rebuffed by the Execu-tive Branch. Is consideration given to eliminating either or both of the departments mentioned above? No! Where’s the donkey stick?

A few weeks ago, we watched as the House of Representatives pro-posed to increase tax revenues by eliminating loopholes in the tax laws that mainly benefi ted the wealthy. The proposed changes would have resulted in $800 billion in additional tax revenue, primar-ily from the wealthy. That plan was rejected by the Executive Branch as they insisted that tax “rates” be raised on the so called rich. The Executive Branch won that battle and instead of tax revenues being increased by $800 billion, they only got increased by about $640 billion. Where’s the donkey stick?

This administration routinely states how it plans to achieve some purpose by by-passing the Congress, essentially ignoring the Constitu-tional process of enacting federal laws. Where’s the donkey stick?

This administration announced that it would not enforce a law enacted by Congress and signed into law by a previous (Democrat) president. Where’s the donkey stick.

This administration made “recess appointments” when the Congress was in session, in violation of Arti-cle 1, Section 5, of the Constitution. (Note: Article III of the Impeach-ment of President Andrew Johnson was for the same cause.) Where’s the donkey stick?

At some point we the people have to determine whether we want to scrap or keep the Constitution, and the operating principles it provides, or if we want to be ruled by edicts issued by the Executive Branch.

Do you want to be the recipient of the donkey stick? Or, do you want to wield it?

(Bob Meade is a resident of Laconia.)

LETTERSWind farm in New Mexico dessert might make sense, not hereTo the editor,

There are a couple of points on the wind farm debate that the general public just isn’t hearing enough of. First of all we need electricity 24/7 but the wind does not blow 24/7 at a rate that will produce electricity. There are cur-rently some electricity providers offer-ing discounts to their customers if they will elect to get 100-percent of their electricity from wind. This is an impos-sibility! Not only do the winds not blow in New Hampshire at the needed speed 24/7, the power produced at the existing wind farms goes into the grid and is not separated out so one can choose wind, coal, nuclear or whatever. Unless you’re directly connected to the producing tur-bine, you can’t be sure of the source of that power. Also, because of the unreli-ability of wind, our existing sources of electrical power generation must con-tinue to exist so that whether or not the wind is blowing, when you fl ip a light switch the lights go on. When the wind is blowing at a viable rate to produce energy, these existing power plants must “turn down” the amount of power they’re sending to the grid to avoid overloading it. There is nothing effi cient about an unreliable power source forc-ing the reliable power sources to fl uctu-ate their production rates.

The second point I’d like the public to be aware of is that while the propo-nents of wind energy like to call this a “green energy” source, here in New Hampshire it is anything but. The numbers the industry and wind propo-nents tout as the amount of CO2 that is offset by these turbines is highly inaccurate. Aside from the aforemen-tioned fl uctuating production at exist-ing power plants, which makes them bigger carbon producers BECAUSE of the wind farms, folks don’t seem to take into account the environmental impact of the building of the turbines themselves. Whether you believe God created our mountain ridges thousands of years ago or they are a result of gla-ciation millions of years ago I think we can all agree that clear cutting and then blasting large sections of our mountain ridges has to raise the carbon level. I have nothing against clear cutting as the trees do eventually grow back, but once the granite is blasted in order to have fl at surfaces to pour tons and tons of concrete on for all of the pads and the

staging area needed, the trees and other natural vegetation aren’t coming back. Someone here in Grafton did the math on the number of vehicles that would be needed for construction of the pro-posed 37 turbine “Wild Meadows Wind Farm” and between cement trucks and construction vehicles it would be about 1500. This doesn’t include the vehicles driven by the individuals working on the construction. We’ve all heard about how much pollution and carbon our everyday vehicles create, consider for a moment the impact from 1500 trac-tor trailers and cement trucks. Add to this the need for these vehicles to be on industrial strength roads much wider than the existing (often dirt or gravel) roads that are currently in the areas they propose for these wind farms and the CO2 impact from those construc-tion vehicles as well as the asphalt that will be laid for these reconstructed (and possibly rerouted) roads as well as the loss of more trees in order to widen the roads and it becomes absurd that the wind farms could be considered “green.” The turbines currently are said to have about a 20-25 year lifespan. The trees cut to make room for them can offset much more carbon for many more years.

While a wind farm in the dessert in New Mexico might make some sense to proponents of wind energy, defacing and scarring our majestic mountain ridge lines throughout this beautiful state should be a crime. Do we want to be known as the Granite State or the Turbine State? Our tax dollars fund large portions of these projects in several ways (through grants and loans, subsidies, and tax credits), so in essence WE THE PEOPLE are paying to destroy the natural beauty that not only we enjoy, but we’re throwing away the income generated by the tourists who CHOOSE to come here because of our scenic lakes and mountains. Please, if you’re truly concerned about “green energy” and the environment, consider these points and act accordingly. Our elected offi cials need to know that the voters, taxpayers and even tourists that enjoy ALL of the mountains, lakes and other natural wonders our state has to offer want them to see the truth on wind energy in New Hampshire.

LETTERSHead Start study shows more classroom time not the answerTo the editor,

If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail. I thought about that quote from Abraham Maslow when I saw the announcement for an upcoming facili-tated “community discussion” about implementing all-day kindergarten in the Winnisquam Regional School District.

Such a discussion took place in open session during the last annual school district meeting. All who wished to speak had a chance to directly address everyone in attendance. We then voted on the measure — estimated to cost us nearly $300,000 in the first year — and turned it down.

Now, school administrators are cooperating with an outside group of facilitators to “structure and focus” small group discussions on the exact same topic. Like Maslow’s hammer swinger, district officials seem to believe that they’ve nailed down the answer to our critical education chal-lenge: We need all-day kindergarten. All they need is the voter buy-in they didn’t get 10 months ago.

What has changed? Only the method, not the facts. This new effort will apply Delphi-style techniques, famous for marginalizing dissenting voices, to a yes/no question. The fact that we’ve already addressed this question ourselves, without facilita-tors leading us around, seems imma-terial to those who didn’t like the answer we provided. So now outsiders will attempt to create a “consensus” which will determine whether or not our school board puts the measure back in front of the voters in March.

Providing the “answer” to questions that haven’t been framed is a poor way to analyze a problem. Our dis-trict does indeed have problems, but this method of problem-solving isn’t acceptable in the business world and we shouldn’t accept it from our public school officials. Why are we not being presented with a clear problem state-ment, identifying an educational chal-lenge to which a range of options might

apply? Open-ended questions such as “Given that XX% of third grade stu-dents are more than one grade level behind in reading, how can we close that gap before these students enter middle school?” would be appropriate to a process that starts with research and analysis, and then leads to an informed dialogue.

Show me a school district with all-day kindergarten, and I’ll show you a district in need of improvement, a district where middle-schoolers read at an elementary level and gradu-ates receive diplomas even when their teachers know they are unready for college or career. We all know these are real problems, yet too many think that following the path that hasn’t worked anywhere else — all-day kin-dergarten now, publicly funded pre-K programs later — might work here.

Does anyone believe that attending a Winnisquam kindergarten program will do what the flagship Head Start program hasn’t managed to accom-plish? The latest Head Start assess-ment was released by the government the Friday before Christmas. It clearly shows that whatever measurable benefits the program had brought to 3- and 4-year-olds were entirely gone by third grade. That’s right: The Head Start kids were no better off than the kids in the control group, despite all the classroom and home attention the children received, at a cost of more than $8 billion last year alone.

Back in Winnisquam, the folks from Lakes Region Listens, a group whose objectivity is at least open to question, will attempt to shape our discussion while insulating our district leaders from the voice of the voters. Nearly a year after the voters spoke, the board and administration have not man-aged to develop a problem statement that could be debated and discussed, preferring instead to recycle the very warrant we voted down in open ses-sion. This borders on malpractice, especially in the light of the Head Start report. More classroom time is

should be able to focus on children as individuals, identifying those with specifi c challenges that can’t be met within the current system and provid-ing tailored assistance to ensure they don’t end up as the lost children of the Class of 2026.

LETTERSAre you willing to have conversation about K with your neighbors?To the editor,

How many of us have sat at large school district meetings and had an opinion to share, but were not pre-pared to speak in such a large public forum? How many of us would have preferred to actually sit down, neigh-bor to neighbor to talk about the issue at hand, rather than in such a large venue as the high school gym?

The Winnisquam School Board is providing a unique opportunity for the citizens of the district to par-ticipate in a thoughtful, deliberative conversation about the future of our kindergarten program.

Last year, full day kindergarten was voted down by the citizens of the Winnisquam School District by a very small margin. Later, I learned that there was a group convened to review what potential options there were regarding kindergarten. Several options were discussed but ultimately, the school board wanted their decision to be informed by a broad range of citi-zen voices.

We are not talking about some con-spiracy by the school board as some would have you believe.

The people who will be facilitating are trained to encourage conversation and different points of view, ensuring all participants have an opportunity to voice their opinions — and impor-tantly, the neutral facilitators do not come with a particular outcome in mind. The model of NH Listens has been used successfully with school districts in other communities such as Pittsfi eld and Portsmouth. I believe in the process and I believe that this event will serve the district well.

It comes down to the question “Are you willing to have a conversation with your neighbors about this impor-tant issue?” I encourage all citizens of the Winnisquam School District to participate in this community conver-sation on Wednesday, January 23 (6:00 p.m.) and do so with an open mind. I look forward to seeing you there.

Banning guns only creates populace of unarmed helpless victimsTo the editor,

I couldn’t help but notice the number of letters here in this paper written about the gun control debate that is currently raging, so I thought I’d throw in my two cents worth. The brain-washed, average anti-gun citi-zen has been studiously kept ignorant of the studies, such as the Uniform Crime Report from the FBI as well as reports from the United Nations (of all places) and even Scotland Yard that have concluded that: Where there are more guns in citizens hands violent crime goes down. We are not talking about war zones here just to be clear.

I have personally noticed that whenever one of these mass killings is committed it inevitably is in one of the

“gun free zones” our liberal politicians favor. They keep saying schools are no place for guns and then next thing you here about is another school killing spree. Makes no sense! We should do whatever it takes to protect our kids from nut cases, arm teachers, armed security on grounds, in schools, what-ever it takes. Banning private owner-ship of guns only creates a populous of unarmed helpless victims.

This stampede toward that end is where progressives are trying to drive our people. Readers, check the facts, use you good sense and don’t let slick politicians heard you, like cattle, into the slaughter house.

are many ways to stand behind that promise, but we’ll never get there if we only focus on a single one-size-fi ts-all program.

Come to the meeting Wednesday the 23rd (5:30 – 8:30 p.m. at the middle school) and tell the board and admin-istration that our district’s children deserve better than this.

Sanbornton still paying 100% of cost of employees health insuranceTo the editor,

Sanbornton currently pays 100 per-cent of the cost of health insurance for our town employees. Knowing this I had to ask the surrounding four town administrators what their policy was in regard to cost sharing, if any, in regard to employee health insurance. I received the following feedback from the town administrators. (Percents indicate employee contribution levels.)

Tilton: 10 percent Non Union; 12 percent Union Full Time (will raise to 14 percent in July )

Laconia: 12 percent (will raise to 15 percent in July)

Northfi eld: 10.5 percentBelmont: 12 percent (will raise to 13

percent on Jan. 1)Sanbornton: 0 percentIt is my understanding that the pro-

posed Sanbornton 2013 budget allo-cates $329,000 for health insurance coverage for only 24 employees. That averages out to $13,708 an employee; for that price I would think that the town would be providing a more com-prehensive program for our employees.

This whole question of health care cost is certainly something to think about and perhaps taxpayers should

now make it a point of attending the weekly selectmen meetings on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. and start to ask ask some questions about the pro-posed budget.

Certainly a proposed 2.5 percent cost of living increase for all town employees should also be of concern to all town taxpayers while the economy is in such poor shape.

dren telling there was an odor in the building. He said the adults came home and the father cleaned out the wood stove and put the ashes outside of the home in a metal can.

Parenti said he believes the fi re was accidental.

Two adults, he said, and four children jumped from the deck at the rear of the house while two other adults escaped the blaze by exiting from a basement window.

He said responding fi refi ghters called for a fi rst alarm on the way to the fi re and for a second alarm when they arrived. When the fi rst fi refi ght-ers arrived they found one victim laying in the driveway with what he said were minor burns.

Parenti said all totaled, three adults and one child were taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia, as was one fi refi ghter for what was described as a minor injury.

FIRE from page one

Above, fi refi ghters battle an all consuming blaze at a Province Road home in Belmont early Sunday morning. In morning light (right) two chimneys were about all that was left standing. (Top photo courtesy of Belmont Fire Department. Photo at right by Gail Ober)

At one point during the blaze, a tree about 300 feet from the home exploded in fl ames and was quickly extinguished by fi refi ghters. Firefi ght-ers were also able to save a detached garage.

The Red Cross provided fi nancial assistance to the family said the chil-dren ranged in age from one to 12. The family dog died in the blaze.

According to Belmont assessing records, the home belongs to David S. Gilbert and was built in 1972.

Parenti said the family is stay-ing with relatives and the home is destroyed.

Assisting Belmont was Laconia, Gilford, Tilton-Northfi eld, Gilmanton

most of whom provided additional man power, ambulances and tankers to the blaze. The home was not on any municipal water line and water had to be brought to the scene.

Sanbornton, Franklin, Loudon and Alton covered various the various towns who responded to the blaze.

enumerated powers of commissions are very limited,” he continued, charg-ing that the commissioners “attempt to assign to themselves the powers granted to you.”

Burchell cited state law (RSA 24:14) which reads “unless otherwise ordered by the county convention ... whenever it appears that the amount appropri-ated for a specifi c purpose will not be used in whole or in part for such pur-pose, the county commissioners may use such sum to augment other appro-priations, if necessary, provided the total payments for all purposes do not exceed the total sum of appropriations in any year made by the county con-vention.” The law, he insisted, is clear and the convention would be derelict in its duty to grant the commission discretion to transfer funds.

“The commission is not account-able” he declared, urging the conven-tion “not to hide behind the veil of executive discretion.”

For some years the commission has enjoyed authority to transfer funds, only seeking the approval of the exec-utive committee for amounts of more than $10,000. Moreover, the conven-tion’s authority over the budget has been limited to the bottom-line, much as in towns where the budget com-mittee and town meeting approve the total spending package while the board of selectmen retain the power to transfer funds between departments and line-items.

Rep. David Huot (D-Laconia) cau-

tioned that by taking away the author-ity of the commission, the convention would make a lot of work for its execu-tive committee, which could fi nd itself managing the budget day-by-day.

Rep. Dennis Fields (R-Sanborn-ton) said he would votes against the motion because “I don’t know what the legal ramifi cations are.”

In fact, the delineation of budgetary authority between the convention and the commission is neither straight-forward nor settled and according to Betsy Miller, executive director of the New Hampshire Association of Coun-ties, opinion and practices vary among the 10 counties.

Burchell’s motion carried by a margin of 10-to-8 as Fields, along with fellow Republicans Don Flanders and Bob Luther, both of Laconia, joined Huot and the other four Democrats — Ian Raymond of Sanbornton, Lisa DiMartino of Gilford, Beth Arsenault of Laconia and Ruth Gulick of New Hampton in the minority.

The convention then spent nearly three hours retracing the steps of its subcommittees, which met in mara-thon sessions last week, after Wors-man apparently ordered them not to take formal votes on their recom-mendations. Those who fl outed that directive, and those who followed it, reported their recommendations to the entire convention last night.

“Why are we voting without hearing from the public?” asked Gulick.

“This is a completely improper pro-cedure,” added Huot, who said that the convention should get information from the sub-committees, formulate a budget and present it to the public.

They were echoed by Fields who has questioned Worsman’s conduct of the budget process from the outset. “I don’t like this being rammed down our throats,” he said, prompting Wors-man to say “representative you are out of order.”

“I may be out of order,” Fields shot back , “but this is wrong.” He told Worsman the convention would not be in this situation if she had asked the

School in Merrimack as an elemen-tary school math and science teacher. She would later teach in public schools in Merrimack and Nashua before becoming a school administra-tor and was assistant superintendent of schools in Laconia from 2002-2005 before becoming superintendent in the seven-town Newfound District.

Her tenure there came during tumultuous times in the school dis-trict, which culminated last year with a $2 million, 10 percentcut in the dis-trict’s operating budget and the dis-trict becoming the first in the state to adopt a property tax cap. She had been interviewed for the superinten-dency of the neighboring Inter-Lakes School District in April of last year and was one of two finalists for that position.

Pastor Scott Mitchell of the New Hampton Community Church, which Ross attended, said that she had had ‘’a profound impact on our lives and this community’’ and accomplished that through ‘’a fantastic display of love and caring.’’

Newfound High School Assistant Principal Paul Hoiriis, said that she had profoundly touched his life through the confidence she had shown in him and read from a letter he had sent to her on Nov. 25 last year, which she had requested that he read at her memorial service and in which he had written ‘’you are one of my heroes.’’

“Not many people can say they had 1,500 students and she knows all of them by their first name,” said Hoiriis.

Eric Chase, principal at Newfound Memorial Middle School, likened Ross to ‘’the big sister I had never had’’ and joked that she had smacked him on

the top of his bald head when he had tried to tell her that but had mistak-enly said ‘’mother’’ instead of ‘’sister.’’

Chase also said that she was ‘’the caretaker of everyone that she ever met and passionate about a life that makes a difference.’’

He said that the superintendent’s role often puts that person in the forefront of controversies, making them targets for people who viewed them ‘’much like a dog regards a fire hydrant’’ and that had happened in the school district in recent years.

He said there was ‘’lingering resent-ment over the way she was treated. But if she could forgive the dart throw-ers, as she would, then we should follow her example.’’

Chase said that he had at first been skeptical when he saw Ross’s ‘’Be Kind’’ license plate but grew to realize that was who she truly was.

“That phrase preceded her by seven feet everywhere she went. For Marie, ‘Be Kind’ was core, not artifice,’’ said Chase.

Tears flowed freely throughout the cer-emony and boxes of facial tissues were distributed throughout the audience.

Family members spoke at the cer-emony, including her daughter Erin Watson who said her mother ‘’wanted there to be lots of hugs and lots and lots of food at the remembrance cer-emony.”

Another daughter Marina MacDon-ald, said that family members, after discovering that her illness was ter-minal, asked is there was one special wish that she had and Ross said she wanted to buy three pianos for her grandchildren.

‘’She said she wanted to watch them play from heaven,’’ said MacDonald.

sub-committees not to make recom-mendations. “This has been a transi-tion,” Worsman replied.

“For you maybe,” Fields remarked.Rep. Herb Vadney (R-Meredith),

who chaired one of the sub-commit-tees, offered the motion to strike funds for a proposed three-percent step raise from the budget, along with funding for sick day and longevity bonuses. At the same time, he proposed requiring employees to pay the entire 7.3-per-cent increase in health insurance premiums, more than doubling their

contribution.Gulick asked why her sub-commit-

tee was told not to deal with salaries and benefits while apparently others were not.

“I either didn’t hear or didn’t listen,” Vadney quipped.

The Democratic members of the convention questioned the wisdom of the measures, which they said would lead to higher rates of turnover among employees and a diminution in the quality of county services, especially the nursing home.

GILFORD — A Belmont man and a Laconia man are each charged with disorderly conduct, reckless operation, and simple assault after allegedly getting into a fight during what police are calling a road rage incident.

According to Lt. James Leach, a patrol officer sit-ting in the Lowe’s parking lot on Lake Shore Road just after midnight on Saturday saw two cars travel-ing side-by-side at a high rate of speed headed east or toward Alton.

He followed the two vehicles and saw them stopped in the middle of the road and two men, identified as

Nicholas Briggs, 19, of 133 Middle Route in Belmont and Steven Diltz, 32, of 43 Addison St. in Laconia, fighting.

Briggs was driving a 2005 silver Chevy Equinox and Diltz was driving a 2003 yellow Ford Mustang.

Police said neither man was injured. Both were released on $1,000 personal recognizance bail and given a court date of February 21.

An additional Gilford Police officer and a N.H. State Trooper assisted with breaking up the fight and arresting the two men.

“I’m appalled” said Huot, who claimed the Repub-licans were “performing arthroscopic surgery with a meat axe.”

Worsman took it upon herself to make the case for freezing wages and trimming benefits. “Every part of the economy is continuing to shrink,” she said, stressing that public employees were receiv-ing more generous raises and benefits than their counterparts in the private sector. “”This budget is $1.3-million too much and we must cut operating expenses,” she said.

The motion to deny the pay raise was adopted on a straight party-line vote, 13 to five, but Fields joined the Democrats in seeking to spare employees the increase in health insurance premiums.

At 8 p.m. the public hearing, which was posted for 5 p.m., was opened to the pubic, who with few excep-tions applauded the decisions of the convention, par-

ticularly the steps to control the growth of salaries. “Unions are not are friends,” proclaimed one woman from Sanbornton, who added “the only check we have is you people. We don’t have a union. If you fail us, you’re not doing your duty.”

Raymond was among several to remind the con-vention that the commissioners were in the midst of negotiating collective bargaining agreements with three unions representing county employees. He noted that the terms and conditions of the prior contract, including the bonuses for sick days and longevity as well as the employee’s share of health insurance premiums, remain in effect until a new contract is reached.

Asked about the issue, Commissioner Ed Philpot (D-Laconia) said “we will not discuss contracts in a public meeting,” but advised Worsman to top off the budget for legal expenses. Later she added $5,000.

Sellal told reporters. “He gave the order for all the foreigners to be killed, so there was a mass execution, many hostages were killed by a bullet to the head.”

Monday’s account offered the first Algerian gov-ernment narrative of the standoff, from the moment of the attempted bus hijacking on Wednesday to the moment when the attackers prepared Saturday to detonate bombs across the sprawling complex. That’s when Algerian special forces moved in for the second and final time.

All but one of the dead victims — an Algerian secu-rity guard — were foreigners. The dead hostages included seven Japanese workers, six Filipinos, three

energy workers each from the U.S. and Britain, two from Romania and one worker from France.

The prime minister said three attackers were cap-tured but did not specify their nationalities or their conditions or say where they were being held.

He said the Islamists included a former driver at the complex from Niger and that the militants “knew the facility’s layout by heart.” The vast complex is deep in the Sahara, 800 miles (1,300 miles) south of Algiers, with a network of roads and walkways for the hundreds of workers who keep it running.

The attackers wore military uniforms, according to state television, bolstering similar accounts by former hostages that the attackers didn’t just shoot their way in.

DIY (Do It Yourself) Dentistry

Two surveys of British citizens were recently done to determine how many of them did their own dentistry. The first survey found that 8% of the population had resorted to DIY dentistry, while the other survey reported a figure of 6%. One fellow admitted to pulling 14 of his own teeth with pliers; no surprise that whiskey was consumed in the process! Britain has a “two-tiered” dental system: the National Health Service, which is funded by British taxpayers, is “Tier 1”. They are supposed to provide dental care at no cost to patients, which, unfortunately creates incentives to cut corners. Due to the low pay, nobody wants to work for the NHS, so there are not enough Tier 1 dentists to handle the needs. If you want an appointment (and you may not want an appointment, considering the quality of care you are likely to receive), you often cannot get one. The “Tier 2” dentists work on a fee-for-service basis. However, they are very busy and very expensive. In the US, we have better access to dental care, so before you pick up a pair of DIY dental pliers, please give us a call. We can usually work something out to enable affordable care of high quality. It won’t be free, but it will be a great value compared to the alternatives – and you won’t need a bottle of whiskey to get through it.

A $436 donation to David’s House in Lebanon, which serves families of children undergoing cancer treatments at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock, was made at the King of Pubs Eight Ball tournament at Christmas Island.

The King of Pubs tournament has contributed more than $5,000 to David’s House, which is undergoing a major expansion so that it can serve more families. (Roger Amsden/for The Laconia Daily Sun)

LACONIA — When Ron Boucher of Gilford, an organizer and sponsor of the King of Pubs Eight Ball Tournament, presented a check for $436 to Jaye Olmstead of David’s House in Lebanon last Satur-day he said that it had a special significance for him.

‘’We were there in 1999. My daughter Tamara was being treated for leukemia at the Children’s Hos-pital and having that place for us to stay at was a godsend,’’ says Boucher, owner of Foosball Sports Vending and the publisher of Tavern Players maga-zine.

Today, his daughter is 27 years old, living in Tusc-son, Arizona ‘’and is healthy and pregnant’’ with a baby due in early June.

‘’David’s House was great and I’m glad there’s a way we can help support its’ work,’’ said Boucher. He says that this is the fourth year that the tourna-ment, which is held at 10 locations around the state over a 15-week time frame, has donated funds to David’s House.

During that time the tournament has donated over $5,000 to its chosen cause.

And Saturday’s donation was even larger than the amount written on the oversized check. ‘’We raised another $200 from Christmas Island and Tavern Players’’ says Boucher.

Tournament sites in addition to Christmas Island include Heat at Weirs Beach, Common Man restau-

Local pubs among those raising funds for David’s Houserants in Ashland and Windham, the Whittier House in Ossipee, Shooter’s Tavern in Belmont, Above the Notch in Franconia, Truante’s Tavern in North Woodstock, Woodpecker’s Grill in Campton and Wal-ter’s Basin in Holderness.

Boucher said the next round of competition gets underway January 25 at Christmas Island and that the finals will be held at Truante’s Tavern in May.

He said that sponsors like Amoskeag Beverages and Dunkin’ Donuts help make the tournament pos-sible.

‘’I can’t tell you how grateful we are for this kind of support,’’ says Jaye Olmstead, development director at David’s House, which serves families whose chil-dren are being treated at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.

During the 27 years since it opened David’s House has served over 12,000 families, including 650 from Belknap County, 557 from Grafton, County and another 1,099 from Merrimack County.

But over the last five years it has had to turn away 900 families for lack of space says Olmstead.

Work is currently underway on a 3,615 square foot cottage-style addition, with 4 bedrooms, says Olm-stead. The $1 million addition is part of a $4 mil-lion capital campaign that includes $1.25 million for endowment and $1.75 million for two years of oper-ating support and contingencies.

The tone was less overtly political in the nation’s capital, where bipartisanship was on the menu in the speechmaking and at the congressional lunch.

“Congratulations and Godspeed,” House Speaker John Boehner, a Republican, said to Obama and Vice President Joe Biden as he presented them with flags that had flown atop the Capitol.

Outside, the Inaugural Parade took shape, a reflection of American musicality and diversity that featured military units, bands, floats, the Chinese American Community Center Folk Dance Troupe from Hockessin, Del., and the Isiserettes Drill & Drum Corps from Des Moines, Iowa.

The crowds were several rows deep along parts of the route, and security was intense. More than a dozen vehicles flanked the president’s limousine as it rolled down Pennsylvania Avenue, and several agents walked alongside on foot.

As recent predecessors have, the president emerged from his car and walked several blocks on foot. His wife, Michelle, was with him, and the two held hands while acknowledging the cheers from well-wishers during two separate strolls along the route.

In his brief, 18-minute speech, Obama did not dwell on the most pressing challenges of the past four years. He barely mentioned the struggle to reduce the federal deficit, a fight that has occupied much of his and Congress’ time and promises the same in months to come.

He spoke up for the poor — “Our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it” — and for those on the next-higher rung — “We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class.” The second reference echoed his calls from the presidential campaign that cata-pulted him to re-election

NEW DELHI (AP) — The trial of five men accused of the rape and murder of a student aboard a bus in New Delhi will begin Thursday and should have none of the long delays commonly associated with India’s justice system, a defense lawyer said after a brief hearing.

Judge Yogesh Khanna denied a defense motion to make the proceedings public, ruling that the court-room must remain closed because of the sensitive nature of the crime, said V.K. Anand, the lawyer for one of the defendants, Ram Singh.

The extreme brutality of the attack has sparked weeks of protests and focused global attention on India’s rarely discussed crisis of violence against women. Monday’s hearing was the first since the case was moved to a new fast-track court set up spe-cifically to handle such crimes.

The five defendants’ faces were covered by woolen scarves as they arrived in the court, surrounded by a phalanx of police. A sixth suspect in the attack claims to be a juvenile and his case is being handled separately.

The judge told the lawyers to prepare for open-ing statements to begin Thursday and agreed to a defense motion to hold the trial every day through-out the week, instead of allowing the gaps of weeks and months between hearings common in other courts, Anand said.

Defense lawyers are awaiting a decision by the Supreme Court on their motion to move the trial outside New Delhi because of the strong emotions in the city.

Police say the victim and a male friend were head-ing home from an evening movie Dec. 16 when they boarded a bus, where they were attacked by the six assailants. The attackers beat the man and raped the woman, inflicting massive internal injuries with

a metal bar, police said.The victims were eventually dumped on the road-

side, and the woman died two weeks later in a Sin-gapore hospital.

Lawyers for the accused say police mistreated their clients and beat them to force them to confess.

Another defense lawyer, A.P. Singh, asked the judge to allow a special bone test on one of his clients to ascertain whether he is also a juvenile, the lawyer said. The judge reserved his ruling, he said.

The attack has sparked demands for wholesale changes in the way the country deals with crimes against women. Many families pressure relatives who have been assaulted not to press charges, police often refuse to file cases for those who do and the few cases filed often get bogged down in India’s court system, which had a backlog of 33 million cases in 2011.

In a sign of the sluggish pace of justice, only one of the 635 rape cases filed in the capital last year has ended in a conviction so far.

Police spokesman Rajan Bhagat cautioned that many other cases remained pending and said it was not realistic to expect crimes committed late last year to have wound their way through the system yet.

New Delhi set up five fast-track courts in recent weeks to deal specifically with sexual assault cases, and the rape case is being heard in one of them.

The courts are an important step for clearing some of the 95,000 rape cases pending in India, said Ranjana Kumari, a women’s activist and director of the Center for Social Research, a New Delhi based think tank.

“We need a system in which women can get justice quickly. Otherwise, in the normal course of things, it can take 10 or 12 or 14 years for cases to be taken up by the court. That is tantamount to denying justice to the victim,” she said.

Wins starting to pile up for Belmont-Gilford

Laconia High School’s varsity basketball teams came away with a win and a loss on Thursday against Newfound Regional opponents.

The LHS girls’ team traveled to Newfound to suffer a narrow defeat, 47-49. It was only the LHS girls’ second loss of the regular season, compared with their eight wins.

The LHS boys’ team earned a much-needed win when the Newfound team came to Laconia. That contest was so close that it needed an overtime period to reach the final score of 63-60, giving the Sachems a record of two wins, six losses.

LHS coach Stephen McDonough reported that Matt Swormstedt scored 16 points and Efran Nouel put up 14. “We were down by as many as 11 in the fourth quarter and were able to battle back in a win that showed a lot of heart.” Aidan Dean put the

Sachems ahead for good with a basket ten seconds left in the overtime period. Jon Pelkey iced the game with two free throws with three seconds remaining.

The LHS basketball teams play again tonight against Prospect Mountain. The boys will travel while the girls host.

LHS bowlers taking on faculty members on ThursdayCoach Jack Batchelder welcomes

members of the public to come to Funspot on Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m. as the bowling team challenges the faculty of LHS to a bowling match. This fund raising event will consist on standard games and Baker games is sure to be a good time. The team is raising money to keep ten pin bowl-ing as a varsity sport. Money raised from sponsorships will go towards bus rides to matches along with shirts and other expenses. Batchelder said, “There is no fee to come and watch. It is good chance for people to meet the team and see what High School bowl-ing is about.”

Laconia High School bowling team last competed in Dover on Saturday, a match that saw LHS come in with a fourth-place finish behind Spauld-ing, Raymond and Sandown. Due to a competing music festival, the team

had only half of their players to pick from, explained Batchelder. Among the absent were the team’s top two bowlers, Zina Labrie and Samantha Batchelder. The absences gave Lily Chanthasak, Emilie Santiague, and Tony Roy their first shot at bowling at the varsity level. Lily stepped up by bowling 51 pins over her average, with a 127 and 72. Emilie also stepped up by bowling 33 pins over her average. In the four Baker games the team combined for 15 marks but just could not put them together. Coach Jack Batchelder sais, “it was a good week for us. Despite the forth place finish everyone was able to pull some-thing good from there performances.”

Laconia will make the trip to Mer-rimack Ten Pin next to meet Souhegan, Pinkerton and Hollis Brookeline. “We are going up against some tough schools on Saturday but team is looking forward to the challenge,” said Batchelder.

LHS’s Phelps shines in Bobcat Invitational at UNHSwimming at the Bobcat Invita-

tional at UNH on Sunday, Laconia freshman Kayla Phelps continued to make a name for herself. Her time of 1:03.14 in the 100 back was the fast-est among the 86 swimmers who com-peted in the event. She also set new school records in the 50 free (28.51)

and the 100 free (1:01.78).Also swimming for LHS were Nick

Shastany and Edis Dszidarivic. Dszidar-ivic swam the 50 free in 31.52. Shastany set new personal best times for the 100 breast, which he swam in 1:21.17, and in the 200 free, which he swam in 2:25.94. He also swam the 100 free in 1:04.95.

GHS’s Cook breaks 9 year-old event record at Bobcat On Sunday at the Bobcat Invitational,

held at UNH, Rebecca Cook, a freshman at Gilford High School not only took first place in the 200 free, she broke the meet record from 2004 with a 1:57.71. Junior Warren Thompson, freshman Autumn Bos and freshman Owen Sanborn all showed proficiency in the four competi-

tive strokes by swimming the 200 indivi-ual medley. Senior Christian Bos had two personal bests in the 200 free and the 50 free. Sophmore Katie Gingrich had a 1:12.14 in the 100 back, a personal best as was her 50 free. Sophomore Chrissy Leach and freshmand Ayden Ernst both made personal bests in their events.

Sundius has trio of top-ten finishes at Bobcat meetThe Inter-Lakes High School swim

team headed to UNH to swim in the 2013 Bobcat Invitational over the weekend. Competing against a field of over 500 swimmers, Inter-Lakes tried hard to make a mark.

Sarah Sundius was able to swim into eighth place in the 50 yard Free-style (27.50), sixth place in the 100 yard Butterfly (1:09.34), and ninth place in the 200 yard individual medley (2:31.47). Achieving new per-sonal best times in all three events, her performance translated into qual-ifying times for the state meet in the butterfly and IM events.

Ben Jaques also had a great day, sig-nificantly dropping his times. Starting out in the 50 yard freestyle, he dropped 1.64 seconds for a new time of 27.43, then in the 100 yard Freestyle event, dropping 2.5 seconds, he achieved a

new time of 1:03.11. His final swim of the day was the 100 yard backstroke, trying to make a State Championship time cut, he swam 1:11.03, dropping 5.48 seconds and just missing the cut by .04 seconds.

For Pauline Donaldson, the event was her first large invitational. Swim-ming against 187 women in the 50 yard Freestyle, according to coach Marilee Sundius, “she said she ‘would do her best’ and that is what she did!”

The Laker swimmers will head down the Goffstown for their last team meet of the season on Thursday.

Penalties sink Laconia-Winnisquam hockey

The Laconia-Winnisquam hockey team played Souhegan Saturday night to a 6-1 loss. The Wolfpack’s only goal was scored by Hunter Karwocki in the second period. As in recent games, the Laconia-Winnisquam played a close game, going in to the third period with just a one-goal deficit. However, Souhegan was able to take charge when Laconia-Winnisquam was short-handed due to a rash of penal-ties. Brayden Harriman had 43 stops in goal.

LHS JV boys’ team beats Newfound

On Thursday the Laconia High School junior varsity boys’ basketball team played Newfound and came away with a 72-23 win. Jordan McCrea led Laconia in scoring with 14 points. Laconia also received nine points from Connor Doherty and seven points from Andre McNeill, Kyle Chiasson and Andrew Salta. Cody Greenwood dished out several assists and James Salta, Brendan Mooney, Nate Batchelder, Gage Baker and Dylan Dockham helped lead the defensive effort. Laconia plays today at Prospect Mountain.

LMS boys’ A team now has winning record

The Laconia Middle School Boys A-team rolled over Merrimack Valley, 54-20, to record their third straight victory of the season. In what coach Rod Roy called “their most complete game of the season”, the young Sachems jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. Leading all scorers was Jacob Filgate with 19 points and five rebounds. Dalibor Kresovic, Riley Roy, and Nick Drouin chipped in six points each, while Parker Minor added five. Filgate also anchored the defense with four steals, while Nick Murray, Jake Ellis, and Drew Muzzey each had two steals apiece. Playing well off of the bench was Dan Engleson who had four points, two boards and two steals. The victory puts the Sachems over .500 for the first time this season at 7-6. “We are headed in the right direction”, said coach Roy.

LMS girls’ A team dealt first loss of season

The Laconia Middle School girls’ A basketball team earned a win and suffered its first loss of the season in recent games.

The win came on January 15 when Laconia trav-eled to Winnisquam where the score was 54-20 at the end of regulation. Leading scorers for Laconia were Amelia Clairmont, with 16 points, Jerra Kirk scored seven, while Heled Tautkus and Cierra LaGarde each scored six. Coach Chick Tautkus praised “a solid team effort” and “defensive pres-sure” in the victory.

Two days later, Laconia hosted Merrimack Valley.

The visitors were victorious, playing Laconia to a 33 to 39 finish.

Laconia played Merrimack Valley closely, with offense again led by Amelia Clairmont and Jerra Kirk and a strong defensive effort. At the end of three quarters, Laconia trailed Merrimack Valley by only one point. However, according to Tautkus, “fourth quarter turnovers proved costly,” and allowed the visitors to pull away.

The girls look to bounce back at 4 p.m. on Tuesday when Barnstead comes to LMS.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you’ve ever left a school report undone until the fi nal hour, you know what it’s like to be starting something when you’re supposed to be fi nishing it. Providence will move to save the day, or at least help out. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It feels like you’re right on track for love, but beware. There is always something deeper and more meaningful to strive for. Knowing this, you will keep the challenge -- and spark -- alive. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can be candid with some -- not all. Your social savvy is second nature, so you realize that it’s in everyone’s best inter-est to fi lter out 50 or more percent of what you would like to impart. CANCER (June 22-July 22). An anonymous contributor suggested that holding a grudge is like letting someone live rent free in your head. Except that the person in question usually doesn’t want to live there, so it’s also like imprisonment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Should you expect more from your relationships, or should you take a break and nurture your own soul by taking care of your own needs and wants? The answer to this question will guide today’s action. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Come-dians know that sometimes it’s funny to stretch the truth for the sake of the joke, the story or the entertainment value. You’ll get playful with a kernel of your own personal truth and achieve levity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Bold action starts with a bang and ends with the world changed -- at least some small part of the world. This type of move is favored for you now and you’ll be too busy completing the action to

doubt yourself or fret over the details. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Daily life might not feel like the special expe-rience that it is just now. You’ll have to remind yourself that these moments are rare and won’t be repeated. A camera can help. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The one you are so close with will once again, in some quiet way, prove loyal and true. For moments it even seems that your minds and hearts have melded together. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Passions ebb and fl ow, and you won’t be too worried about the particulars. You’ve been through the cycles of love, and you know not to fret about the ups and downs. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you had more money, how would you spend it? Knowing the answer will put you in the correct headspace to make a plan. Likely what you need now is not better funding, but a clearer direction. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll seek chemistry and excitement. It could be found in a person or an endeavor. You know right away when you strike on the right thing -- your attraction is undeniable. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 22). No one can tell you what’s right or wrong over the next eight weeks. Your heart tells you what to do when the well-meaning people around you can’t. February is all hugs and kisses. You’ll win an award or prize in March. April brings a transportation upgrade. Family reunion and surprising news comes in June. Sagittarius and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 4, 22, 24 and 16

it up, whether it’s pulling off excit-ing jams that build with dynamics

and layering, or playing the concise arrangements of their songs with disci-pline and taste.

The sound defies cate-gorization, slipping seam-lessly around touches of Blues, R&B, Rock and Southern Boogie. The interplay between Mar-shall and longtime gui-tarist Dave Cournoyer is the heart and soul of their performances. The songs are mostly upbeat, but even those dealing with love lost and missed opportunities, carry an

underlying sense of hope and opti-mism.

Opechee Garden Club program on healthy houseplants at Gilford Library

GILFORD — Jane Rollins, a local Master Gardener, will offer a work-shop on “Happy and Healthy House Plants” to the Opechee Garden Club (OGC) on Thursday, January 24 at 1 p.m. at the Gilford Public Library, Potter Hill Road in Gilford.

Rollins, an OGC member, will focus on ten common houseplants, their requirements and care and why they are good for your home or may even make you smarter.

OGC received a Landscape Recogni-tion Award for planting at the Belknap County Court House through the city’s Adopt-A-Spot. Members have been planting and maintaining area gardens at the court house and other sites for many years. The garden club exhib-ited their entry, “A Winter Garden” that combined woodsy, natural decorations with a splash of glitter, in the Belknap Mill “Trees for the Holidays” contest again this year. Those working on the committee were: Marge Dyer, Jo Con-nelly, Donna Vernon, Bev Martin and President Sandy Gove.

Club members Louise Osburn, Caro-lyn Temmallo, Jane Rollins and Sandy Gove joined Decorative Interiors and worked together for this showcase event, the Designer Show House and Holiday House Tour of the Bridges House in Concord. On both the New

Hampshire and National Register of Historic Places, the Bridges House was built in 1835, owned and resided in by former Governor and US Sena-tor Styles Bridges and until it was donated to the state as the official NH Governor’s executive residence by his widow in 1969.

Starting the month of February, OGC will be featured in the Laconia Historical & Museum Society exhibit of organizations in the city that are primarily or completely comprised of and run by strong, creative and chari-table women and the work inspired by women, their histories, goals, present status, memorabilia, achievements and displayable items.

Members who are looking forward to lunching together at the Brick Front Restaurant, Church Street on Tuesday, February 5 at noon should RSVP to Suzanne Perley at 528-1123.

The Opechee Garden Club meets the first Monday of the month at 1 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) at the Gilford Community Church, Potter Hill Road, Gilford. New members are always welcomed to join in time to celebrate the 75th Anniversary in 2014. Write PO Box 6025, Laconia, NH, call 293-7357, email opecheegrar-denclub2012@gmail.com or visit www.opecheegardenclub.com.

LACONIA — Get your family and friends together and come learn about a fun activity to enjoy during the long winter months – ice fishing. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Depart-ment’s “Let’s Go Fishing” Program and the Laconia Recreation Depart-ment will co-host a one day Saturday workshop on February 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The class is open to anyone; how-ever, anyone 16 and under should be accompanied by an adult. Reserve your spot by contacting the Laconia Recreation Department at (603) 524-5046. The class is free, and registra-tion is first-come, first-served. All equipment and materials will be pro-vided. People do not need to have a

fishing license to participate.The morning will be spent at the

Laconia Community Center at 306 Union Avenue, Laconia, where patici-pants will learn about ice fishing equipment, safety and practices, as well as some winter ecology of lakes and ponds. Then they will head out to the local lake and put their newly learned skills to the test.

New Hampshire Fish and Game’s “Let’s Go Fishing” program has taught thousands of children and adults to be safe, ethical and success-ful anglers. Find out more at http://www.fishnh.com/Fishing/lets_go_fish-ing_class_schedule.htm. The program is federally funded through the Sport Fish Restoration Program.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: My 20-something children attend school in other cities. On occasion, they have asked to bring their cur-rent boyfriend or girlfriend home for a visit to meet the fam-ily. The friend then stays in a separate room for a night or two. The problem is my husband. He gets extremely upset about these visits and accuses me of encouraging immoral behavior. He says that allowing these friends to stay at our house gives tacit approval for them to spend the night away from home. I say it is normal hospitality to open our home to our kids’ friends. Is he being irrational, or am I missing something? -- Confl icted Mother Dear Confl icted: There is absolutely nothing wrong with a child spending the night away from home, and certainly not a 20-something adult. Your husband apparently is con-vinced that the kids are sneaking around and getting into bed together when you are asleep. But that is ungenerous of him. These friends are guests in your home and should be treated as such. And your husband might keep in mind that should these friends turn out to be his future sons-in-law or daugh-ters-in-law, reacting poorly to them now could set him up for future diffi culties. Dear Annie: May I vent a little about the extended family of a caregiver? My relatives live out of state and rarely visit. This is for them: Please don’t tell the primary caregiver what to do and how to do it. You don’t have all the details, and you do not control every situation. Good caregivers are proactive and vigilant. You are loved, and your opinion matters. But unless you are a medical expert in these areas, please listen rather than resort to preconceived ideas. When you do visit, don’t say, “I guess you get the day off.” There is never a day off, especially if the loved one is in the hospital or rehab and preparations need to be made for what

happens after they are discharged. And while you may think it’s “too early” to discuss assisted living or nursing home care, some of those places have waiting lists. It’s never too early. You may want to have a light, enjoyable visit, but some things still need to be handled, even unpleasant things. Life doesn’t get put on hold simply because you’re in town. If you want to take over the full-time care, you are more than welcome. Otherwise, please respect the primary care-giver’s role and responsibilities, and keep your interference with the medical providers to a minimum. You have no idea what it is like to have a family plus elderly parents to care for, with all the activities, medical appointments, medications and therapies to coordinate and facilitate. You purposely choose to live states away. Please don’t fl y in and out telling me what to do. Serving as a primary caregiver is an honor and a privilege. It carries with it a tremendous responsibility, as well as accountability and self-sacrifi ce. I do it out of love, and I want what is best for them. -- Walk a Mile in My Shoes Dear Walk: We have heard this plea many times and know you speak for thousands of devoted caregivers. But we also know that many relatives who live away need to feel as if they are contributing and often react by making demands and try-ing to take over. Sometimes, all they need is a task to perform that will make them feel they are needed in a concrete way. We hope that helps. Dear Annie: Like “Heartbroken Mom in Connecticut,” I, too, left a controlling husband, and it created confl icts at family gatherings. Our solution was to have two birthday parties. My ex could attend one with whomever he wished, and I attended the other. The grandchildren loved the idea of having two birthday parties. Over time, some of the confl icts lessened, but they never completely stopped. Sometimes they just can’t let go. -- Don’t Stress, Celebrate Twice

LACONIA — Laconia Historical and Museum Soci-ety will host its quarterly Antiques Appraisal Day on Saturday, January 26 from 2-4 p.m. at The Laconia Antique Center, 601 Main Street in Laconia.

Expert appraisers Doug McGowan, Linc Fournier and Greg Peverley will be available to offer their expertise and verbal estimations of value. Much like the Antique Road Show, where participants bring in their items to

be appraised, the society’s group of talented appraisers use the “team” approach to determine a value and share information with the audience unique to each item.

Items should include stoneware, clocks, coins, toys, silver, rugs, jewelry and general antiques. The cost is $5 per appraisal with all proceeds to benefit the Laconia Historical and Museum Society. Tickets are sold at the door on a first come - first served basis.

LACONIA — The Harlem Wizards will be coming to Laconia High School on Wednesday, January 23 at 7 p.m. in a fundraiser sponsored by The American Legion Post 1. All of the proceeds will go toward the scholarships the American Legion in Laconia hands out each year to local high school seniors.

The challenging team will consist of local, hard-working volunteers throughout the community and people will see coaches from the community sports programs, teachers, doctors, police officers and many others playing against the Harlem Wizards. The game will be refereed by one of the finest and most patient officials in the area, Jeff Greeley.

Players from the Harlem Wizards will be making a guest appearance at local schools.

The fundraiser would not be possible without the support of local businesses that helped buy and sell tickets for this event including Aavid Engineering, Morin Electric LLC, All My Life Jewelers, Patrick’s Pub and Eatery, Lou Athanas Youth Basketball League, and the Laconia High School JAG program.

Tickets will be sold at the door the night of the event for $10 students and $12 adults.

The program will be held at the Arthur A. Tilton Ice Rink from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. January 24–February 28.

Curling is the sport of “sliding stones” down the ice in an attempt to get your “stones” closer to the target than

your opponent. Although this activity is held on the ice, participants do not wear ice skates. Participants should dress to be outside and should wear sneakers or boots. Cost for this program is $2 per evening and participants can register at the start of the program.

For more information contact the Gilford Parks and Recreation Dept. at 527-4722.
