BARNSTEAD — Selectboard Chair James Barnard confirmed Wednesday the town is looking into disbanding its police department and using the Belknap County Sheriff ’s Department for law enforcement.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Eric Schmidt, a technology veteran brought in as Google Inc.’s “adult supervision” a decade ago, is relinquishing the CEO job to Larry Page, one of the prodigies who co-founded the company behind the Internet’s dominant gateway.

The surprise shake-up announced Thursday appears to be driven by Schmidt’s desire to tackle other challenges as much as Page’s personal ambition.

“Day-to-day adult supervision no longer needed!” Schmidt wrote on his Twitter account moments after Google dropped the bombshell that upstaged its fourth-quarter earnings. Schmidt, 55, will become executive chairman and remain available to advise Page, 37, and Google’s other 37-year-old founder, Sergey Brin.

Under the new pecking order effective

Shake-up at Google, co-founder back in chargeApril 4, Page will reclaim the CEO job that he held for three years before the two ven-ture capitalist firms backing Google in its early days insisted that a more mature leader be brought aboard.

That led to the 2001 hiring of Schmidt, a professorial engineer who was previ-ously chief technology officer at Sun Micro-systems Inc. and CEO of Novell Inc., both much bigger than Google at the time. After initially resisting Google’s overtures, Schmidt bonded with Page and Brin to form a brain trust that proceeded to build the Internet’s most powerful company.

Google now boasts a market value of more than $200 billion, a success story that has placed Page, Brin and Schmidt among the world’s wealthiest people. The three men are Google’s largest individual shareholders, stakes that turned them all

into multibillionaires.But as Google has grown into a company

with more than 24,000 employees, its deci-sion-making increasingly has bogged down into a bureaucracy. The managerial consti-pation and joint decision-making by the trio threatened to put Google at a competitive disadvantage as younger, more nimble Inter-net services such as Facebook pounce on new trends to lure away users and advertisers. At Facebook, 26-year-old founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg calls the shots in an entre-preneurial culture that has enticed dozens of engineers to leave Google to work for the social networking company.

“My goal is to run Google at the pace and with the soul and passion of a startup,” Page said in a Thursday interview. “I think I will have time to do that given the way we have split up our responsibilities.”

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — After leading the nation last year in passing a law to sue the federal government over the health care overhaul, Idaho’s Republican-dominated Legislature now plans to use an obscure 18th century doctrine to declare President Barack Obama’s signature bill null and void.

Lawmakers in six other states — Maine, Montana, Oregon, Nebraska, Texas and Wyoming — are also mulling “nullifica-tion” bills, which contend states, not the U.S. Supreme Court, are the ultimate arbi-ter of when Congress and the president run amok.

Idaho lawmakers ready to declare Obamacare ‘null & void’ in their stateIt’s a concept that’s won favor among

many tea party adherents who believe Washington, D.C., is out of control.

Though a 1958 U.S. Supreme Court deci-sion reaffirmed that federal laws “shall be the supreme law of the land,” Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter is promoting the idea, too. In his January 10 State of the State speech, he told Idaho residents “we are actively exploring all our options — including nul-lification.”

Sen. Monty Pearce, an Idaho GOP law-maker who plans to introduce a nullification bill early next week, wanted to be the first one to give Otter a recently published book

on the subject, “Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century.”

But Otter beat him to the punch.“I took that copy and tried to give it to

the governor,” he said, pointing to a copy on his desk. “He already had a copy.”

Sick of just passing largely symbolic reso-lutions decrying federal encroachment on states’ rights, proponents like Pearce say their bills will ratchet up the pressure on the feds: This isn’t just some piece of paper to wave about; if it passes — and there’s plenty in Idaho to suggest it will — this would become the law of the state, Pearce says.

P H I L A D E L P H I A (AP) — A lack of follow-up on reports of vene-real disease, political sensitivities and unful-filled promises made to health inspectors all added up to missed chances to stop a doctor from performing illegal abortions that killed at least two patients and hundreds of newborns, prosecutors said.

The indictment of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69 — a family practice physician not certified to perform abortions — details allegations of a litany of failures in upholding even the most basic public health guidelines. Gosnell was arraigned Thursday on charges of murdering seven babies and one patient.

Authorities allege that Gosnell and a fleet of undertrained — sometimes untrained — workers ran a ghoulish operation in Philadel-phia in which labor was

Jim Hightower

Back to business as usualEarly this month, when John

Boehner was sworn in as the new speaker of the House of Representa-tives, he tipped his hat to the teabag activists across the country who had fueled the Republican takeover of the chamber last fall. He almost choked up as he promised to “give the government back to the Ameri-can people.”

Boehner was not choking back tears, however, he literally was choking on the flagrant hypocrisy of his words. You see, the people he’s giving the government back to are not tea partiers, but the rapa-cious corporate lobbyists who ran the Congress during the years when former Majority Leader Tom DeLay ran the show. Apparently, the name “Boehner” is derived from an ancient Teutonic word meaning: business as usual.

Throughout his two decades in Congress, the new speaker has been a reliable ally of corporate interests. In recent years, he has formed unusually tight legislative, political and even social ties with a group of lobbyists for such giants as Citigroup, Coors, Goldman Sachs, Google and R.J. Reynolds.

Of course, most congressional lead-ers work with lobbyists, so that’s not odd, but to have them also be his clos-est friends and social chums — well, you just want to say, “For heaven’s sake, Johnnie, get a life!”

These influence peddlers are now the speaker’s inner circle, guid-ing his legislative decisions. Even before last November’s election, Boehner had a private meeting with a flock of top corporate lobbyists to help shape “a new GOP agenda.” Forget the tea party. No tea party operative is a Boehner insider. It’s the corporate agenda that Repub-lican leaders will be pushing, and to make sure that it stays on track, Boehner has hired a top corporate lobbyist to be his policy director.

So, while tea party regulars are giddy with the thought that their movement took over the U. S. House, they were actually a Trojan horse.

They delivered the votes to make Boehner speaker, which allowed the corporate powers to move inside, quietly take over and return Con-gress to business as usual.

On opening day of the 112th Con-gress, beaming members of the new Republican majority entered the

House chamber, accompanied by their proud families. But the moment did not belong to members alone.

Also entering the Capitol for the swearing-in ceremonies was David Koch, the multibillionaire industri-alist and laissez-faire extremist who bankrolled much of the tea party/GOP victory last fall. What sym-bolism! The members were taking office, but Koch and his corporate agenda were taking power.

Indeed, many lobbyists for Wall Street banks and big corporations have been hired as top legislative aides for Republican members. As Rep. John Campbell put it, “You want someone with experience.” Yeah, experience in corporatizing our government.

In fact, some of the most powerful lawmakers in the House are simply handing their power to corporate interests. For example, Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama, the new chair-man of the Wall Street oversight committee, declared that his role is to “serve the banks.”

The chief comforter of corporate crybabies, however, is Rep. Darrell Issa of California, chair of the wide-ranging government reform commit-tee. He sent letters to 150 corporate interests, asking them to tell him if Obama and his Democratic meanies have imposed any consumer, worker or environmental protections that should be undone. That’s like asking a barber if you need a haircut!

The letters unleashed an out-pouring of corporate whining — big banks, for example, wailed that their ability to gouge customers with rip-off debit-card fees had been curtailed. There, there, Issa said soothingly, I’m here now. I’ll make it all better for you.

Under the guise of giving govern-ment back to the people, the House majority is giving it to the corporate powers who finance their campaigns. This is not just business as usual, it’s business way more than usual.

LETTERSRight this egregious wrong by granting Ward Bird a full pardon

Make your voice heard at the Gilmanton budget hearingsTo the editor,

Gilmanton residents: It’s that time of year again when all of the town departments must present their bud-gets for next year.

On February 3rd there will be a public hearing for our town budget and on February 10th another public hearing for our school budget. These town meetings are important to all of us because, if you haven’t had the time to attend the individual board and budgets meetings, this is the time to

add your input. This can be a chance for all of us to speak our minds and hopefully make substantial changes to their budgets BEFORE the final vote occurs. Please don’t confuse these meetings with the annual Town Meet-ings in March where we vote on the final town and school budgets.

These past few years have been tough for most of us: loss of jobs, low-ering wages, increases in the cost of living across the board, and more. In

To the editor,A man from Moultonborough is serv-

ing three years in prison for waving a gun at a lost traveler and threaten-ing her. Why should the public of this state be concerned? First, because this version of events did not take place. Second, because this man’s convic-tion was based solely on the word of one person against another in a she said/he said situation. My wife, Janet, and I are very worried about what has happened to a very good friend of ours, Ward Bird, and his family.

What has galvanized the support of thousands of people for Ward Bird, in New Hampshire and across the nation, is the realization that what happened to Ward, could happen to any of us. Every American citizen should be concerned about this case, regardless of where you place your-self on the political spectrum, because when the facts are boiled down, these are the alarming basics:

Christine Harris accused Ward Bird of having committed a felony that carries a mandatory three to six year prison term if found guilty. In this par-ticular case:

— There was no physical evidence to support the charges.

— There were no witnesses to cor-roborate either side of the story.

— It was simply the accuser’s word against the defendant’s word.

— No background information was allowed on either the accuser or the defendant in the trial.

— At trial, the accuser changed her story three times under oath. She even acknowledged doing so.

Quite frankly, Janet and I are perplexed as to how this case even made it into court with this complete lack of evidence.

It is often reported that the New Hampshire Supreme Court upheld Ward’s conviction. What most people do not understand about the role of the state Supreme Court, is that it does not retry the case, weigh the evidence again or decide guilt or innocence. It simply reviews the court case to make certain there were no improprieties or irregularities as far as procedures go.

Janet and I are beseeching our governor and Executive Council to right this egregious wrong by grant-ing Ward Bird a complete pardon that commutes his sentence and clears his record of his felony conviction. We invite others who are concerned not only for Ward Bird’s situation, but their own potential situations, to write the governor and Executive Council to express your concerns and support for a complete pardon for Ward. These addresses can be found at www.freewardbird.org by clicking on the “Support” tab. You can also find evidence to the content of both Ward Bird’s and Christine Harris’s characters, trial documents, letters of support and much, much more at this site. When researching this web site, you will find that it contains hard facts that are not “spun” in nature. The site is designed to let each indi-vidual make an informed decision on where they stand on this issue of jus-tice and fairness.

I have yearned for conservative Republicans representing me at all levels of NH government. And to have a common sense conservative GOP state chairman and committee. At this time we do have a clear choice to fit that description.

Some of the Kimball supporters from Belknap County have alerted me that if they are to be part of the Kim-ball regime then NO THANKS! I am but one voice, but Fran and Jennifer: why? And those who reside in Gilford and seldom pop their heads out to the public while hiding in the sphere will

not add credibility to Jack.Kimball’s people are trying to

smooth things over a day before the election. Why not explain the opportu-nity they (several “names”) that have endorsed Jack because of their ani-mosity for John H. Sununu and they feel like getting even with a man who will not be on the ticket Saturday!

Some are looking for a paying job that the victor will provide within the party organization. So sad to sell out your party for retribution or for remu-neration.

Juliana Bergeron will do a good job. GOP see next page

LETTERSHow about an arrest and some punishment for these punks?

many of these areas we don’t seem to have much of an impact when we object, i.e. the cost of gasoline for our cars and work equipment. However, in our own towns we DO have a say in how our money is spent if only we would go to the meetings once a year

and talk with our town and school committees.

If you want to be heard, please join us on the above dates at the Iron Works Old Town Hall at 7 p.m. for each meeting. Take action now!

To the editor,Once again the Laconia PD jumps

to inaction and does little to clean up crime in Metropolis. In July of 2008 my daughter and her family were travel-ing the crime laden streets of Laconia in the Union Ave./Jewett Street area when their vehicle was shot with a pellet/BB gun virtually inches from my infant granddaughter’s head. Per-haps some of you recall my letter at the time. In that missive I called the areas in Laconia with decades of crimi-nal history as “Pits of Pestilence”. This prompted a call to me from the “con-cerned” Captain Clary. I had blown off some steam, so to speak, when I called the PD in the middle of this event and asked why it took 10 minutes for a cop to respond to a call for help. On top of that 40 minutes after the incident, the responding female officer was more taken with my granddaughters than doing her duty and going to the crime scene a couple hundred feet away and questioning some of the — how should I put it nicely — “colorful characters” (her words) in the neighborhood. She told my shaken family they should go home and forget it, they will never be caught. GREAT!

So now, 2 ½ years later I learn she was right. The same little punk is doing the same thing on the same corner and likely with the same gun as he/she has been doing for some time now. Reading the Laconia papers

on Thursday I have learned that the Crime Stoppers of Laconia who are hired to protect the public have now spread a dragnet over the entire city. “Call us with information” was their plan of action. I’ll bet every punk in every corner of crime in Laconia is vir-tually shaking in their snowshoes.

Now, I may sound more sarcasti-cally ungrateful to “those who serve” than I should be. However, I have watched the LPD since my call from Captain Clary. They have added a crime map. They are very good with public relations, honoring their offi-cers several times a year, playing bas-ketball in the neighborhood, etc. In his statement on their website, the chief refers to “community-oriented polic-ing”, claiming through this strategy they go after the “root cause” of the crime rather than the “quick fix”. How about an arrest and some punishment for some of these punks? That might change their behavioral motivation more than looking into their feelings.

I would like to know how these latest victims of traveling Laconia streets were handled. Were they responded to promptly? Did the responding officer knock on any doors? Ask any ques-tions? Did they get a call from Captain Clary? Or just told to go home and forget it, they will never be caught?

Laura is not a bad person, she just made a bad decisionTo the editor,

I wish to publicly thank Bea Lewis for her article that made it all the way to page 12 of yesterday’s Daily Sun, clarifying that Laura Gerlarneau was on much needed pain medication and that the blood alcohol test was 0.0. I felt that Adam Drapcho over sensa-tionalized the front page as reported on Tuesday. It couldn’t have been any more dramatic.

The “accident” on Friday was actu-ally Laura being stuck on her own poorly plowed street, hung up on the snow as she turned into Mitchell Place. If she had been going faster, she probably would not have gotten stuck. So much for caution. She was fifty feet from her house when this earth shat-tering event occurred. I do not condone operating while impaired. I do thank attorney Clayman for informing you, Bea , of the medical issues that led to both incidents. The medical appoint-ment referred to in yesterday’s report was to change conflicting medications.

Unfortunately she drove on Monday and is now in trouble. How that acci-dent occurred is anyone’s guess. We are thankful that no one was injured including Laura.

As far as prosecutor Sawyer bring-ing up the past, it is just that and Laura has already done the time paying back society for her wrong-doings. Knowing that she was penni-less, the prosecutor went for the huge bail which gets paid by the parents because blood is thicker than water. She is not a bad person, she just made a bad decision.

I would never go public with this personal information, but wanted to correct the implications made by Mr. Drapcho.

The deadbeat who got Laura into drugs six long years ago is still walk-ing the streets of Laconia, and still destroying lives. Laconia police know where he is and what he is doing, but apparently do not care.

Still Time to Register ... New Session Starts January 24th

524-3338 lakesregiongymnasticsacademy.com

The last few weeks have been busy in Concord, with the governor’s inauguration, committee assign-ments, and hearings on the budget. I’ve been assigned to the Senate Finance Committee and the Public and Municipal Affairs (PMA) Com-mittee (of which I am the vice chair). We have already started prelimi-nary work on the state’s budget as well as hearing testimony on bills sent to the PMA committee.

Senate and House members of both the Finance Committee and the Ways & Means Committee received briefi ngs from multiple experts in the last couple weeks. The mission is to take an informed approach to budget writing and we are well on our way.

New Hampshire’s non-partisan Offi ce of Legislative Budget Assis-tant (LBAO) did an excellent job presenting the budget. According to the LBAO, the surplus at the end of the fi rst year of the current two-year budget (which ends June 30, 2011) resulted from an accounting mea-sure. By bringing forward federal stimulus money originally allocated to the second year of the budget, a surplus was created in the fi rst year at the expense of more total debt in the second year.

We have our work cut out for us as we also learned that the projected defi cit for FY 2012-2013 budget is nearly $846 million. I am heartened that everyone seems to understand the magnitude of the problem and is ready to roll up their sleeves to try to get our fi scal house in order.

Some interesting facts that came from the N.H. Center for Public Policy Studies presentation:

— Manufacturing is N.H.’s most important export industry in terms of employment size, with tourism being second.

— N.H. manufacturers paid over $100-million in combined state busi-ness profi ts and business enterprise taxes in FY2008.

— Relative to tourism, New Hampshire is ranked #2 in retail sales to out-of-staters, with Hawaii being #1. In FY2010, non-resident tourists accounted for 52-percent of the rooms and meals taxes collected.

Highlights of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston presentation:

— Job losses occurred in all sec-tors except government and educa-tional and health services (which saw gains) with the largest job losses occurring in construction and manufacturing.

— The real rate of unemployment in N.H. is 11-percent, which refl ects unemployed, under-employed, and those who have stopped looking for work.

— Among the New England states, N.H. had the smallest job losses in the 2007-09 recession and

State Senator Jeanie Forrester 

the strongest job gains in the expan-sion to date.

I am appreciative of all the profes-sionals who took the time to educate House and Senate members on the state of New Hampshire’s economy. I am also encouraged that the Senate remains focused on the economy, jobs, and the budget defi cit.

The other committee I serve on, Public and Municipal Affairs (PMA) had its fi rst hearing on January 11th. Senator Jack Barnes (R-Ray-mond), the PMA committee chair, did an outstanding job conducting the hearing. The agenda included four bills (all which give author-ity and/or clarity back to the local government). One bill in particular drew a large number of people to testify: Senate Bill 1. The room was fi lled to capacity with selectmen, taxpayers, union representatives, teachers, school superintendents, town and city managers, and human resource professionals. This bill proposes to eliminate the auto-matic continuation requirement for public employee collective bar-gaining agreements (also known as the “evergreen” clause). The com-mittee voted 4-1 “Ought to Pass” which means the bill now heads to the Senate fl oor for a vote of the 24 State Senators.

Although SB 1 dealt with a hot button issue, the hearing proceeded with the greatest amount of civility thanks to Senator Barnes’ profes-sional, inclusive, and reassuring mannerisms. He treated all parties with respect, did not rush speak-ers, and encouraged others to speak to the bill who had not even signed up to speak. He recognized Senator Sylvia Larsen (D-Concord) standing at the back of the room, giving her the respect due and asking if she wanted to testify.

We, your elected representa-tives, appreciate that we are all in this together. While we may differ philosophically on issues, we are all volunteers who want to serve our constituents and our state. Thank you, Senator Barnes; I learned that day that contentious subjects can be discussed freely in an environment where everyone feels comfortable to defend their point of view without recrimination.

And thank you to all of you in the District who have taken the time to share your concerns and ideas with me. In the spirit of accessibil-ity and constituent communication, I am also authoring an e-newsletter. If you are interested in receiving it, send me an email at [email protected] and we’ll start your subscription.

LETTERSThanks to every person who joined Laconia’s MLK Day celebrationTo the editor,

One of Dr. Martin Luther King’s quotes is, “The time is always right to do what is right.” The community chose the right time to do the right thing – to commemorate Dr. King by gathering to celebrate togetherness at the Laconia Middle School on Sunday, January 16. It was the 6th annual cel-ebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. sponsored by the Laconia Human Relations Committee (LHRC) and the Laconia Refugee Connections Committee (LRCC). Among other things LHRC works to educate the public about the presence and dehu-manizing impact of any prejudicial attitudes that are currently at work within the community. It also works on promoting policies and practices which encourage and demand equal opportunity and responsibility for all people.

The middle school cafeteria was crowded with refugees, their friends, neighbors, volunteers and people just willing to learn more about their new neighbors. There were people born in this country and newcomers; white people and people of color; people from Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. Diverse people have much more in common than they have differences. The common characteristic of all of atten-dants that stood out was Dr. King’s phrase, “I have a dream…” Getting together was an opportunity to learn about one another, to build bridges between cultures, to live up to Dr. King’s words, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love

can do that.”The event started with screening of

the documentary “Uprooted: Heart-ache and Hope in New Hampshire” featuring five refugees, of whom three are local. The documentary, sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council, aims to understand how the experiences of New Hampshire’s most recent newcomers connect with those of past immigrants. Youths from the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region did a wonderful job citing quotes from Dr. King. After that part of entertainment, the attendants were invited to enjoy food typical to the cultures of this country as well as the cultures of Bhutanese, Nepalese, Bosnian, Russian, Burundi, and etc. While digging into the food on their plates, people enjoyed watching and listening to the NH Burundi Drum and Dance Group. Two Bhutanese girls performed their native dance.

The newcomers appreciate the sup-port of the entire community: indi-viduals, the police department and agencies. They are thankful to the volunteers who help them to accom-modate to new life conditions.

Our thanks go to every single person who joined us in celebration. We send a big thank you to the middle school for letting us use its rooms. We would like to thank the NH Food Bank for their donation of beverages and St. Francis and Rehabilitation Center for helping with transportation. We also would like to thank our local press for covering the event.

induced in very late-term pregnancies with unsanitary equipment, the viable babies born alive and killed with scis-sors to the spine, and their body parts left in jars — or clogging plumbing into which unattended women had given birth.

Nearly a decade ago, according to legal documents, a former Gosnell employee gave the state’s Board of Medicine a complaint that “laid out the whole scope of his operation: the unclean, unsterile conditions; the unlicensed workers; the unsupervised sedation; the underage abortion patients; even the over-pre-scribing of pain pills with high resale value on the street.”

Nothing was done.In its report, the grand jury said fail-

ures of the Pennsylvania Department of Health and other agencies — including the Department of State, under which the Board of Medicine falls — allowed the clinic to operate nearly unim-peded since the late ‘70s. It hadn’t been inspected since 1993 and wasn’t closed until it was finally raided as part of a drug bust early last year.

“We think the reason no one acted is because the women in question were poor and of color, because the victims were infants without identities and because the subject was the political football of abortion,” the grand jury wrote.

A spokeswoman for Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, who was inaugurated this week, said Thursday that Corbett held a morning meeting about the matter with his new nominees for sec-retaries of health and state.

“He called it horrific, and certainly public safety is one of his major con-cerns,” said administration spokes-woman Janet Kelley. Officials are reviewing the grand jury report and working on a response, she said.

“It’s essentially looking at informa-tion gathering and certainly changing things for the better,” she said.

The Health Department has not commented despite repeated requests from The Associated Press. Lawyer William J. Brennan, who represented Gosnell during the investigation, has declined to comment.

Former Health Department official Janice Staloski personally inspected the clinic in 1992, but “let Gosnell slide on the violations that were already evi-dent then,” the grand jury said. A decade later, when she headed the division that was supposed to regulate abortion pro-viders, Staloski failed to order an inves-tigation of the clinic despite having received several complaints about Gos-nell, the report said.

Staloski, who retired last year, declined to comment Thursday. Her lawyer, Arthur Donato, said Staloski acknowledged to the grand jury that she made mistakes.

“I think the grand jury report speaks to an institutional and systemic prob-lem, and I think a lot of people were responsible for the fact that these clinics were not surveyed annually,” he said. “She did receive some com-plaints (about Gosnell) and she did not cause a survey or an inspection to occur, and I think she testified truth-fully that she should have.”

Laconia Police Chief Michael Moyer holds the department’s CALEA accreditation certificate as he listens to Senator Kelley Ayotte speak during ceremonies at police headquarters on Thursday. Looking on the background are police commissioners Doug Whittum and Armand Bolduc. Out of view behind Moyer is Commissioner Warren Clement. (Alan MacRae/for the Laconia Daily Sun)

LACONIA — With its new national accreditation safely in hand, police officials detailed their 2011 goals with the city’s Police Commission at yester-day’s meeting.

According to a presentation by Police Chief Mike Moyer, increasing summer bicycle patrols in the Weirs and downtown sections of the city, creating an in-house drug enforcement unit, and continuing pos-itive public relations with city residents are three of the top city policing goals.

“We need a full-time detective working nothing but narcotics,” said Moyer, noting that the detective assigned to the N.H. Drug Task Force is back work-ing as a full-time narcotics detective in Laconia.

“You’re going to see a lot more drug cases being solved in Laconia,” Moyers told the commission.

He said the department’s approach has always been three-pronged — education, prevention and enforcement and while the first two are preferable, as a police chief he doesn’t have any problems with

stepping up the enforcement provisions.Moyer also would like to see an early interven-

tion team working with the school resource officer to help identify and reach youths whose lives could be heading in the wrong direction.

He also would like to see a program that works with the city’s elderly that combines safety educa-tion and care-taker programming.

Joining the commissioners yesterday to celebrate the national accreditation award was Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, who spent the day in the Lakes Region.

“I know how hard you’ve worked,” said Ayotte who testified at a few certification reviews when she was the state’s attorney general. “It’s an excellent standard.”

Later Ayotte said she was really proud of Laco-nia’s Police Department for achieving the Certifi-cate of Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) certification.

“I had a chance to work with them when I was AG and I know how hard they work,” Ayotte said, adding that it’s difficult to earn national certifica-

received $500 from CALEA to use toward equip-ment and training.

which the town has an option to purchase from Ann McCahan for $199,000. The single-story structure consists of the main building, with the primary entrance, and an attached ell, which altogether compromises 3,738 square feet. The front entrance leads to a secure lobby, with public restroom, beyond which a central corridor is fl anked by an interview room, reception area, chief ’s offi ce, lunch room, locker rooms, utility core and the squad room. The ell houses the sallyport, booking room, holding cell, interview room, armory and evidence storage. An attic of 360 square feet above the sallyport provide addition storage space.

Richard Drenkhahn, chairman of the selectboard, said that Bonnette, Page and Stone of Laconia, con-struction manager for the project, has submitted a guaranteed maximum price for building the facility of $996,000. When the project is put out to bid, he anticipated the cost would be reduced. He said that the total cost of the project, including the acquisition of the land, architectural and engineering fees, con-struction costs, which includes fi xtures, fi tting and some furniture, was estimated at slightly less than $1.3-million.

Drenkhahn said that the annual principal and interest on the sale of 30-year general obligation bonds at 4.25-percent would be approximately $71,000. Drenkhahn said that in 2011 the town will retire a bond for roadwork, shedding annual debt service of more than $60,000, and described the exchange as “a wash.”

Immediately Tony Halsey noted that the Commis-sion for Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) sets a standard of two full-time offi cers for every 1,000 residents and asked with a population of 1,100 “how big a department do we need?” Dren-khahn replied that the department consists of three full-time and fi ve part-time offi cers and that there are no plans for adding personnel.

Markley took up the same theme, describing Center Harbor as a small town. “Do we need to go down the same path as other towns?” Then, read-ing from prepared notes, she ran through a skein of questions about the cost of the project, asking for fi gures on the cost of architectural fees, fi x-tures and fi ttings, operating costs , insurance and so on. As answers were provided, her friend logged them into a spread sheet. When her last question was answered, Markley announced that the project would cost more than $1.7-million. However, when her calculation was challenged she acknowledged that she had counted several items twice.

“There is nobody who thinks you don’t need some-

thing more than you’ve got,” said Barry Borella, who suggested that the size and cost of the build-ing could be halved by replacing locker rooms with showers for men and women with a “unisex” facility and reducing the expanse of administrative space.

Halsey said that the selectboard relied on a report prepared by Municipal Resources, Inc. (MRI) of Meredith in 2002 as well as the fi nding of the space needs committee, claiming that neither rec-ommended construction of police station of the size proposed. Selectman Randy Mattson insisted that MRI did not consider facilities, but confi ned its rec-ommendations to the administration and operation of the Police Department. She said that the reports were “part of the process — the beginning.”

“The town of Center Harbor doesn’t throw up buildings willy nilly,” said Selectman Charlie Hanson, who reminded residents that the adminis-tration building was the last constructed, in 1970.

Gene Burgess said that after talking to people around town he found “there ain’t much trust left in the selectmen we have. It’s the money.”

“I always take offense,” declared Mattson, “when somebody says that just because we’re elected we don’t think about other people’s taxes and spend money willy nilly. We’re in this together.”

Mattson drew support from Beverly Peck, who said “we need this now. It’s only going to get more expensive in the future. It’s not a bad thing,” she concluded. “It’s a good thing.”

The measure will be put before town voters in March and, because borrowing is involved, will require a two-third majority vote for passage.

It’s been tried before, a long time ago.Back in 1799, Thomas Jefferson wrote in his “Ken-

tucky Resolution,” a response to federal laws passed amid an undeclared naval war against France, that “nullifi cation, by those sovereignties, of all unau-thorized acts... is the rightful remedy.”

Three decades later, South Carolina Sen. John Calhoun pushed nullifi cation of federal tariffs that many in the South deemed discriminatory toward agricultural slave states. President Andrew Jackson

readied the military, before a compro-mise defused the situation.

In 1854, Wisconsin also sought to nullify the federal Fugitive Slave Act that forced non-slave states to return escapees.

And more recently, Arkansas defi ed the federal government’s order to desegregate public schools after the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision.

In a unanimous 1958 ruling reject-ing Arkansas’ position, the High Court wrote that states were bound by the Constitution’s Article IV mandating U.S. laws, when vetted by justices, “shall be the supreme law of the land.”

After passing its “Health Care Free-dom Act” last year, Idaho is already among 27 states now suing the federal government over the constitutional-ity of what health-care overhaul foes deride as “Obamacare.”

Supreme Court justices haven’t yet weighed in on questions like whether residents can be compelled to buy health insurance.

But Thomas E. Woods, Jr., author

of the 2010 book “Nullifi cation” that Otter and Pearce have in their Idaho Capitol offi ces, argues states have the fi nal say on the gravest issues, like when the government forces citizens to spend their hard-earned money.

If the U.S. president, Congress, and the Supreme Court get it wrong, Woods said, then Jefferson had it right back in 1799 when he wrote that states, as creators of the federal gov-ernment, “being sovereign and inde-pendent, have the unquestionable right to judge of its infraction.”

“What do we do when we don’t get proper relief in the court?” Woods told The Associated Press from his home in Auburn, Ala. “We can’t just throw up our hands and say, ‘We tried.’ The creators had to have some way of not having that system destroyed.”

For Idaho’s Pearce, Obama and the Democratic-led Congress are destroy-ing the American system.

“There are now 27 states that are in on the lawsuit against Obamacare,” Pearce said. “What if those 27 states do the same thing we do with nullifi -cation? It’s a killer.”

Senator Ayotte talks central Asia policy with Gilford High studentsGILFORD — After recently meet-

ing with New Hampshire National Guardsmen in Kuwait, Pakistani generals, American troops in Afghani-stan as well as Afghan troops, newly-elected U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte on Thursday spent an hour with about 80 Gilford High School social stud-ies students. They listened to her describe the challenges faced in that region and then pressed her with pointed questions.

Ayotte’s trip began on Jan. 13, when she and several other federal lawmak-ers fl ew fi rst to Kuwait, then to Paki-stan before proceeding to Afghanistan. She returned on Tuesday. During her trip, she reported witnessing a region

fraught with challenges but which she said was making progress toward a more stable future.

The Republican spoke before an audience that included students of all high school grades who were enrolled in U.S. History, Advanced Placement U.S. History, Youth and Government, International Business and Cultural History classes.

“We went to Afghanistan after we were attacked on September 11 [2001],” Ayotte said, reminding the students that the organization behind the worst terrorist attack on Ameri-can soil was given refuge by the Tal-iban regime which at that time was in control of Afghanistan. “We have been there for a while... We don’t want Afghanistan to again become a safe

haven for terrorists.”Part of the region’s problem, Ayotte

explained, is that the “safe haven” for Al-Quaida terrorists, and now for the ousted Taliban members, has shifted across the border into Paki-stan’s so-called “tribal areas,” where the central government of Pakistan has little infl uence. It’s an issue she said she took up with a Pakistani

general during her time there. “They are crossing back and forth between Pakistan and Afghanistan. They are taking refuge in some of the tribal areas and regrouping, that is why our relationship is so important.”

Although Pakistan has its prob-lems, Ayotte said there are distinct differences between that country

and Afghanistan, where the status of women in society remains “second-class.” In a visit to a rural area, she noted that there were no other women out in the market and no girls in the school.

Still, she said it was a sign of prog-ress that there were people of any gender in that market or school, as the insurgent forces had only months earlier held sway in that region until U.S. Marines “kicked them out.”

“When we first got into the war, we didn’t realize that we would need more than the traditional strategy,” Ayotte said. After the Taliban was top-pled, she said not enough effort was directed toward enabling Afghans to construct a government and provide for their own security. “It was ripe for the Taliban to come right back in and take over the country.”

“I don’t think we will be leaving in 2011, It’s a conflict we’ll be involved in for the next couple of years,” she said.

After her presentation, audience members peppered the senator with questions.

One student asked Ayotte about the outcome of a conversation with Afghan President Hamid Karzai regarding the status of women, a talk

interests of the community,” he said.Belknap County Sheriff Craig

Wiggin said yesterday that he is doing a preliminary investigation as to the possibility of assuming duties in Barnstead.

“We have been talking,” Wiggin said. “Obviously I have to make sure the county is on board.”

Barnard said while the idea of regionalization is not a new one, the past two years of budget crunching coupled with the Belknap County Commissioners two years of “County Conversations” got his board thinking more about it.

He said Barnstead is already a member of the Suncook Valley Town Association — comprised of Barn-stead, Epsom, Chichester, Pittsfield, Strafford, Pembrook, and Northwood — and working together have gotten discounts on road salt purchases and more recently, according to Barnard, some savings on health insurance rates.

she had alluded to earlier. Karzai had touted progressive steps taken, such as appointing a certain amount of women to the legislature, but she said, “a lot more needs to be done.”

Responding to a question about the use of unmanned drone strikes, which have been controversial due to reports of collatoral damage, Ayotte said they were an “important” weapon to the military strategy.

To a question about the quality of Afghan troops and their training, she said, “They’re doing a lot better... we are making significant progress there.”

Asked whether some personnel will remain in Afghanistan even after most troops have left, she said, “I think that’s a question we’ll have to address – will we have a base there?”

Responding to other questions, she said public education is mostly limited to basic elementary levels, that it was difficult to tell what the true senti-ment towards Americans was among Afghans, and that she didn’t know of any specific reason to believe that the Taliban could somehow access nuclear weapons. “That wasn’t something that I have any knowledge could happen. We don’t underestimate, we’re not going to let them get in that position to be able to do so.”

In a memorandum published over the summer by the Local Government Center, AnnMarie French wrote that while not all proposals for joint efforts would be feasible, when logical pair-ings arise working agreements can be reached.

As examples she cited the various regional school districts, the Tilton-Northfield Fire Department and the Lisbon, Lyman and Landaff Tri-Town Cooperation.

Barnard added the selectmen are seeking efforts toward consolida-tion and regionalization with an end toward saving tax dollars because voters at last year’s town meeting directed them to do so by adopting Article 23 of the town warrant.

He said the logical place to look for regionalization of police services would be to the county government, which already performs police dis-patch duties for Barnstead.

“The county is the logical place to start, but we have a long, long, long way to go,” he said.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Oppo-nents of a bill that would prevent many college students from voting in New Hampshire say imposing such restrictions clearly violates the U.S. Constitution.

The bill, sponsored by Republican Rep. Gregory Sorg of Easton, would bar students from voting in college towns unless they had lived there before enrolling. House Speaker Wil-liam O’Brien, who supports it, has

CONCORD (AP) — New Hamp-shire’s public safety commissioner has lifted the cap on consecutive hours fuel delivery drivers can work, citing another imminent snowstorm and a forecast for subzero temperatures.

Federal regulations restrict hours fuel truck drivers typically to 11 hours a day and require significant time off between shifts.

Commissioner John Barthelmes

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire landlords should be allowed to cut off the cable television services they pro-vide to tenants without being sued, a lawmaker told the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

State Rep. Carol McGuire, R-Epsom, said her bill would exempt cable tele-vision from enjoying protections from shut-off the law now provides for neces-sities such as heat, water and lights.

The bill was in response to a 2009 state Supreme Court ruling that sided with a tenant whose landlord cut off his cable service while trying to evict him for not paying his rent. The land-lord argued the apartment was receiv-ing the service through an illegal connection.

In ruling against the landlord, the court said cable television is a pro-tected utility service under state law and can’t be shut off during landlord-tenant disputes. The court said many people access essential telephone ser-vice, the Internet, news information and entertainment by cable.

The bill would let the landlord cut off television service if the landlord

Bill would remove cable TV from list of ‘protected’ utilities for N.H. tenants

was paying for it.Sarah Mattson of New Hampshire

Legal Assistance did not object to exempting television service. She said the state enacted the protections 30 years ago to stop landlords from cut-ting off telephone service, heat, lights and other necessities to force tenants out rather than use normal eviction procedures.

Mattson said the committee should make it clear that cable telephone ser-vice is not exempt so landlords don’t disconnect a cable connection only to find themselves in violation of the law.

McGuire and several committee members said tenants, not landlords, typically paid for those types of ser-vices.

“I don’t know any case where land-lords would provide cable, telephone and Internet,” said McGuire.

The Judiciary Committee began working on an amendment to clarify that only cable television provided by the landlord would be exempt. Com-mittee members also wanted to be sure existing protections for telephone service remain in effect.

N.H. lifts cap on fuel delivery workday(BAR-thel-mezz) is waiving the cap on hours until midnight January 28.

Public safety spokesman Jim Van Dongen said the commissioner’s order is designed to ensure homes and busi-ness have adequate fuel deliveries in the face of nasty weather on the way.

The forecast calls for 3-6 inches of snow Friday and temperatures plung-ing below zero throughout the week-end.

Proposed law would bar college students in N.H. from voting unless they lived here prior to enrollment

complained about young people with no life experience voting liberal.

Paul Twomey, a lawyer who has represented voters in election law cases, says the bill violates the 26th amendment, which gave 18-year-olds the right to vote. And he says a 1972 federal lawsuit in New Hampshire further settled the issued by saying voters don’t have to intend to stay in one location in order to vote there.

NEW YORK (AP) — A woman stolen as an infant from a hospital crib two decades ago spent Thursday at a Manhattan hotel with her long-lost mother as investigators sought the evidence they need to identify and arrest her kidnapper.

No suspects were ever identified in the 1987 disappearance of Carlina White, the 19-day-old infant who van-ished from Harlem Hospital. The hos-pital had no surveillance video. Her parents left the hospital to rest after the baby was admitted in the middle of the night with a high fever. She was missing when they came back.

Woman kidnapped as a baby in 1987 reunites with her New York family

The parents, Joy White and Carl Tyson, said a woman who looked like a nurse had comforted them at the hospital. She disappeared afterward and apparently never worked there, family said.

As the years went by, it turned out, the best investigator on the case was Carlina herself, living under the name Nejdra Nance in Bridgeport, Conn.

She had long suspected she was at least adopted because the person who raised her, a woman who went by Ann Pettway, could never provide her with a birth certificate. She didn’t look like

anyone she lived with, police and her family said. And Pettway was abusive, family said.

“Carlina knows best, but she said the woman put her footprint on her face. I don’t understand how you could do that,” said Lisa White-Heatley, the woman’s aunt.

A telephone message left for Pettway, who has had recent addresses in Bridgeport and Raleigh, N.C., wasn’t returned.

A relative in Bridgeport told The Associated Press he was shocked by the story that Nance had been abducted.

“I don’t know too much about this,” Kapel Pettway said. “It stuns me. It hurts me. After all these years. I thought (Ann Pettway) was her mother.”

Periodically, Nance would check the website of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Chil-dren, looking through photos of missing infants in Connecticut, she told the New York Post. She left Connecticut for Atlanta years ago and has a 5-year-old daughter of her own, her family said. Her family said she worked as a dispatcher and hoped to have a modeling career.

Meanwhile, Joy White never gave up hope that she would find her firstborn.

“She always knew she was alive,” White-Heatley said.On Jan. 4, Nance, now 23, checked the web-

site again, but searched this time through New York’s missing children, and saw a baby photo that looked nearly identical to hers, police said. She con-tacted the site, who contacted Joy White. The two exchanged photos and talked. After a DNA test, it was all confirmed.

Authorities are looking at whether federal offi-cials should take over because the statute of limi-tations may have expired in New York, said chief NYPD spokesman Paul Browne. There is no limita-tion in federal missing children cases. FBI officials in Bridgeport were looking into the case there.

Nance was too young to remember if the woman who raised her was with her the entire time, police said. Investigators aren’t saying whether they have identified any suspects, but the White family believes Ann Pettway is the kidnapper.

“We have our suspicions in this case, but you need more than that for probable cause,” Browne said.

Authorities have interviewed Nance, her biologi-cal parents and want to speak to Nance again. It wasn’t known if they interviewed Pettway.

White’s family said they want the kidnappers found and punished. But right now, they are focus-ing on having their daughter back.

Joy White and her family met Nance before the DNA test was confirmed because she felt sure Nance was Carlina.

OBITUARIESArthur ‘Red’ S. Dale, 94

DEMING, New Mexico — Arthur ‘Red’ S. Dale, 94, formerly of San-bornton, NH, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on November 9, 2010. A Celebration of Life Memorial Service was held in Deming, New Mexico on November 13, 2010.

Arthur came to the Lakes Region in 1956 and worked in the sign divi-sion of Tyler Advertising – bringing expertise in neon signs. He designed, built, and erected the landmark sign at the entrance to Weirs Beach. A few years later he bought out Tyler’s sign division and started his own business; Northern Electric Signs, creating a portable neon unit to service neon signs on location. He designed and built many signs all over NH, and put up the fi rst McDonalds sign here in Laconia.

A musician from a young age, Arthur played the stand-up bass for many years in a dance band called the ‘Music Makers’, playing at local venues such as the former Shangri-La at Weirs Beach, and the Jack-o-Lantern Resort in Woodstock, NH. He also played in

orchestras for several musical theater productions, such as Damn Yankees.

Over the last 30 years, Arthur’s passion for the Lord Jesus Christ, along with his desire to bring relief to hurting people, led him, and his wife Sally, to a ministry helping countless people coast to coast with all natural herbal remedies.

Arthur was predeceased by his wife of 31 years, and childhood sweetheart, Sally (McBride, Miller) Dale who went home to be with Jesus on May 26, 2010; his brother Elwin Hoose in

2000; and his son Kenneth Dale in 1979.Arthur is survived by his children Robert Hoose

and wife Esther, NY; Patty Hazzard, Laconia, NH; Elwin Dale and wife Rose, Meredith, NH; Judy Downing and husband Jim, Laconia, NH; Bob Dale, MA; Edie Simon, OH; step-children, Paul (Skip) Miller and wife Lorena, NY; Mary Ann Brower, CO; Ronald Miller and wife Jacque, NC; Fayetta Waxman and husband Wayne, NY; and James Miller, FL.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). One of the many things people love about you is that you’re quick to laugh. Someone will work to make you do so, and you will interpret the effort as a sign of deep personal interest. And you will be cor-rect. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There may be disharmony in your personal life, and yet it affects you in a good way. You use the energy produced by this confl ict to do something excellent for yourself and the other person. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be kind. Remind yourself of all you’ve done well lately. Make a list. Anything you can do to reinforce your sense of personal value will ready you for the opportunity that arises this weekend. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will be slightly more transparent today. So you may as well tell someone that you are angry with him, because your actions, tone and body language are already sending the signal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you vol-unteer, you’ll be praised in the moment, but that moment will pass. And then you’ll be expected to work and be responsible for the results. If that’s the fun part for you, then you’re volunteer-ing for the right thing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are willing to add layers of knowledge and style to your lifestyle in order to fi t into a certain social group. You’re not sure exactly who these sophisticated, glam-orous people are yet, but you know you’ll fi t right in. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It may be calm this morning, but there is some-thing building deep within you -- a strong and passionate energy that will

soon emerge to help you move a moun-tain that’s in your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Every-thing is cyclical. Just because you feel a certain way now doesn’t mean you’ll feel that way forever. The older you get the more you can appreciate all that’s carried inside of a single moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). An old friend will return to you. You will see something different in this person now -- something that was there all along but took awhile to fully develop. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A deal you made long ago is about to expire. You can go on as you were, or you can make a new arrangement. Tonight: A mere fl irtation turns into a more serious game. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Spring is more than a season. It’s a metaphor for what is coming in your life. Under the cold ground there is a dor-mant seed that will soon break through and grow to mighty proportions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sacri-fi ces have been made. Now you’ll con-tinue the process of determining which ones were worthwhile and which ones you wouldn’t make again. Be shrewd in your assessment. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 21). You have a special brilliance, and it shines this year for all to see. Family makes you proud in February. A teacher leads you to productivity and money in March. There’s an investment in April that pays off in July. Your creativity attracts a partner in June, and together you will succeed in business and art. Leo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 12, 14, 23 and 16.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I have been in a relationship with a wonderful man for four years. Six months ago, we were blessed with a little boy who has become our world. The problem is, “Greg” is constantly going out of his way for his family. Recently, his sister was in a car accident, and her husband refused to give her the money to pay the deduct-ible for repairs, so Greg gave her his car to use. This has left us in a rough spot. I work from home but still need to run occasional errands, and Greg now uses my car. The only solu-tion is for me to drive him to and from his job, which is a huge inconvenience. I don’t see why I have to do that for his sister’s sake. When I talk to Greg about this, all I get is an argument. I understand he loves his family and wants to help, but it’s always one thing after another, and I’m at my wits’ end. How can I help him understand that it’s time to let them handle their own problems? I’m tired of feeling like my son and I are on the back burner. -- Burning Up in Vermont Dear Vermont: Greg wants to be the hero, the one everyone relies on. To him, your “inconvenience” at not having a car is outranked by his sister’s “need.” Try to make Greg realize that too much help can cripple someone -- if his sister knows she can have his car indefi nitely, she will make no effort to repair hers. You also could tell him that it was his choice to give up his car, and now he can take the bus. But we caution you not to make this a greater problem than it is. Greg sounds generous to a fault, but we assume that is one of the reasons you love him. Dear Annie: My husband and I hosted our son’s wedding at our large home. We worked hard to be sure everything was exactly as the couple wanted. So what went wrong? We were not included in any prelimi-

nary plans -- where the tent and portable bathrooms would go, where the caterer would set up, when the rehearsal dinner would be. I knew the bridesmaids would dress at our house, but they also brought their friends along. The morning of the wedding, the groomsmen unexpectedly showed up to change here, as well. These people treated our home as if it were a luxury hotel with a full-time maid. Furniture was rearranged for pictures, and water bottles were tossed hither and yon. We had a ca-tered brunch for out-of-town guests the next morning. Imag-ine my surprise when I discovered there were 60 guests in-stead of the 30 I had invited. Several weeks after the wedding, there was a viewing party to look at pictures, and we were not invited. Just a word of advice to any bride and groom: Please do not take the parents’ giving for granted. We are happy for you, but remember to say “thank you.” That, and some hugs and kisses, will do wonders. -- Parents of the Groom Dear Parents: It’s unfortunate that many young people have no idea of the sacrifi ce, effort and money involved in these endeavors. They are so wrapped up in their own world that it doesn’t occur to them to consult the parents or show their appreciation. Thanks for letting them know. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Sensitive Soul in Cana-da,” whose father had a fi ght with his sister three years ago. The stress caused an ulcer and high blood pressure. It remind-ed me of a quote: “Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.” That about sums it up. -- South Dakota Dear S.D.: We’ve printed that quote before. We fi nd it accu-rate, as well as amusing, and it should be attributed to actress and author Carrie Fisher.

Lakes Region Planning Commission to focus on power generation and energy conservation at meeting on Monday

MEREDITH — A major new power generation project and available energy conservation projects will be featured at the meeting of the Lakes Region Planning Commission (LRPC) at New Hampton School at 6 p.m. on Monday, January 24.

Estimated at a cost of $1.1 billion, the proposed Northern Pass Transmission Project is the larg-est proposed construction project currently in the state and perhaps all of New England. Proponents include Northeast Utilities and the Canadian gov-ernment. The project, currently in the planning and permitting stages, is intended to stretch 180 miles south into New Hampshire from the Canadian border, along both existing and new transmission line corridors.

While several communities in the Lakes Region are lined up to carry the power over transmission towers, the project is expected to impact the entire Granite State. The city of Franklin is slated to be the site of a new electrical converter station.

Representatives from Public Service of New Hampshire and the Northern Pass will present an overview of this ambitious effort to deliver up to the 1,200 megawatts of electricity from Quebec to the New England power grid.

Following the presentation of the Northern Pass, representatives from the Conservation Law Foun-

ASTRA teen service club helps homeless vets with ‘winter kits’

MEREDITH — ASTRA, a teen community service club, put together winter kits of warm cloth-ing, toiletries, and food items in December to be distributed to home-less veterans.

The kits will be distributed by Baby Threads of NH, a non-profi t organization that helps home-less and needy families and people throughout the Granite State. Bonnie Champagne, director of Baby Threads of NH, addressed the ASTRA club members, thanking

them for their commitment to help-ing those in need.

A local woman also expressed her gratitude to ASTRA members. The victim of a recent house fi re, she explained how thankful those receiving the care kits might feel, using her own situation to punctu-ate what it means to be without a home.

Sponsored by the Altrusa Inter-national Club of Meredith, ASTRA helps teens develop leadership and organizational skills while serving

Members of Meredith ASTRA, a teen community service club, assembled winter kits for homeless veterans at their Christmas party held at the Community Center in December.

St. James Episcopal calls Reverend Father Tobias Nyatsambo to serve as RectorLACONIA — The Wardens and Vestry of St.

James Episcopal Church have called the Reverend Father Tobias Nyatsambo (Nea-tsa-mbo) to serve as their new Rector.

A native of Zimbabwe, Father Tobias, has studied at colleges in that country, in the United Kingdom, and at the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts. The fi rst part of his career was spent as a high school teacher. Following that, he worked for 25 years for Scripture Union, a Christian organization, starting groups in junior and senior high schools and in a number of colleges throughout the country. The last seven years of his tenure with that organization was as its national director.

Father Tobias was ordained as an Anglican Priest in 1998 and became the fi rst African Rector of one of the largest parishes in the Diocese of Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, 20 years after the country’s independence from the British. The position was previously served by priests from the United Kingdom.

After immigrating to this country in 2007, Father Tobias served as the Priest-in-Charge at St. Marks Episcopal Church in Ashland. Since mid-2009, he

has served a number of Episcopal parishes in the Lakes Region as a supply clergy.

Father Tobias and his wife Rose, a quilter whose creations are available through Keepsake Quilting in Center Harbor, settled in New Hampshire to be near their son and his family, who reside in Dover.

The Nyatsambos also have two daughters and fi ve grandchildren.

Father Tobias looks forward to leading his new Congregation and to serving the special needs of those who are ill or infi rm. The new Rector and his parishioners invite the community to join them as he leads his new Parish in being agents of hope and love in the community.

noon — 3 p.m. on Wednesday, February 2, 9, 16, and 23 and 10 a..m. — 2 p.m. on Thursdays. No appoint-ment is necessary.

To learn the location of more than 50 other Tax-Aide sites in New Hampshire, dial 2-1-1 or visit aarp.org/money/taxaide. All sites will open on or about February 1.
