United States Patent O 3.389,752 ZONE PROTECTION Maurice P. Lebonrg, Houston, Tex., assigner, by mesne assignments, to Schlumberger Technology Corporation, Houston, Tex., a corporation of Texas Filed Oct. 23, 1965, Ser. No. 503,471 4 Claims. (Cl. 166-46) ABSTRACT F THE DISCLOSURE Methods for completing wells having permeable and porous formation zones which may be damaged by invasion of cement including steps of forcing an impermeable lining into intimate contact with filter cake on the formation wall, permitting differential sticking of the lining on the wall, then running and cementing casing in the well bore, and perforating through the casing, cement and lining.
-man This invention relates generally to oilwell completion methods and, more particularly, to the utilization of liners in a well bore to seal and thereby protect a formation zone from the adverse effects of cementing operations.
It is generally known that certain types of commercially interesting oil-bearing formations are damaged and their ability to satisfactorily produce seriously impaired by cementing operations conducted during completion of the well. For example, low pressure, highly permeable or fractured zones are easily damaged by cement solids or may -bc contaminated by filtrate. Reef or carbonate formations of vugular or fractured types are adversely affected by penetration of cement solids into the voids. Some formations contain water sensitive components that swell, expand or disintegrate when in contact with cement slurry filtrate, resulting in decreased permeability. When the aforementioned formation damage occurs the formation fails to produce as anticipated based on such productivity indicators as drillstem test data. Expensive and time-consuming re-perforating or other stimulation is then required before satisfactory completion can be attained. In some cases, the zone may have to be abandoned.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a method of, and apparatus for, completing a well wherein selected formation zones are protected from damage due to cementing operations.
A further object of the invention is to provide a method of, and apparatus for, preventing formation damage during cementing operations, both method and apparatus being simple and effective to afford overall cost savings in oil recovery operations.
These and other objects are attained in accordance with the principles of the present invention wherein, prior to cementing casing in a well bore, a permeable and porous formation zone which may be damaged by cement is sealed off by an impermeable lining which is forced into contact with filter cake formed on the well bore wall. The lining will then be held in sealing engagement due to the phenomenon of differential sticking, and will prevent invasion of the formation by cement. Fluid flow from the protected zone into the casing may be later established by perforating through the casing, cement and lining.
The novel features of the present invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention, both as to the process steps involved and su-itable apparatus for practice of the process, together with the further objects and advantages thereof may best be understood by way of illustration and example when 3,389,752 Patented June 25, 1968 taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a sectional View of the well bore showing an expandable seal and setting tool therefor positioned adjacent the formation to be -protected from cement damage;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the well bore showing the initial setting phase of the expandable seal;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the well bore showing the final setting phase and wherein the setting tool of the invention is yfully inflated and the expandable seal in place against the formation wall;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the well bore showing the setting tool deflated and being withdrawn from the well and the expandable seal remaining in place;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the well bore showing cas-ing cemented therein with the expandable seal protecting the adjacent formation from cement damage;
FIG. 6 is an elevational half-sectional View of one embodiment of apparatus for practicing the method of the present invention, the section taken on line 6--6 of FIG. l;
FIG. 7 is a section on line 7-7 in FIG. 6; and
FIG. 8 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional View of the expandable seal adjacent the zone wall.
With reference to FIG. l, numeral 10 indicates a well bore extending downwardly through a permeable formation zone 11 which is to be protected from cement damage. The well bore contains the usual column of drilling mud for control of formation pressures and numeral 12 indicates the filter or mud cake which is deposited on the Walls of permeable formation zone 11. Means for sealing the formation zone 11, in the form of an expandable liner 13 made of an impermeable, yet elastic and fiexible material, is attached to an inflatable setting tool 14, the combination inflatable setting tool and expandable liner being suspended in the well bore on a tubular runnin g-in string 15.
Turning now to FIG. 2, liner 13 is shown being expanded out into sealing engagement with the walls of the formation zone 11 by the introduction of pressure into the inflatable setting tool 14 Ithrough the running-in string 15. To effectively seal the formation, the setting tool, to be more fully described below, is so designed that as pressure is increased therein the circumferential mid-portion 16 of liner 13 is the first portion of the liner to contact the filter cake on the zone wall. As setting of the liner continues, it is progressively pressed out against the filter cake from the mid-portion of the liner toward either end. As shown generally in FIG. 3 and in more detail in FIG. 8, a movable portion 17 of the filter cake is displaced or squeezed out from behind the liner so that the liner yis forced into firm contact with the portion 18 of the filter cake remaining between the liner 13 and formation zone Wall 19. In this manner the entire peripheral area of the liner is placed adjacent the zone wall 19 to effect a seal.
Due to the differential pressure between the mud column and the formation fiuid, the impermeable liner 13 will stick adjacent the Wall of formation zone 11 due to the hydraulic phenomena generally denoted as differen-y tial sticking and discussed in Mechanics of Differential Pressure Sticking of Drill Collars, H. D. Outmans, 1958 Journal of Petroleum Technology, vol. 213, p. 265. `Briefly described, the mechanics of the sticking are such that when the liner is forced into contact with the filter cake, the fiow of filtrate from the drilling mud in the well bore 10 into the isolated area behind the liner 13 is shut off. Filtrate in the cake will continue to flow into the formation, but since no filtrate can enter the cake, its water content decreases. Decrease in water content in the isolated part of the cake is accompanied by a reduction in porosity `and hence in volume. In other words, the cake between the liner 13 and the formation wall 19 shrinks as the water is squeezed out of the cake into the formation. As the water content decreases the hydraulic stresses throughout the cake decrease until they become substantially equal to the formation fluid pressure. When this action has occurred, the pressure differential between the mud column pressure and the formation fluid pressure will act radially outwardly across the entire peripheral area of the impermeable liner 13 to hold the liner in firm sealing engagement over the zone wall 19 without the need for an anchoring device, thereby protecting the formation zone from invasion by cement slurry or filtrate.
Furthermore, as the filter cake shrinks, the diameter of the liner 13 increases and the mud column pressure acts over an increasingly greater peripheral area of the liner. Thus, the liner 13 becomes increasingly more stuck adjacent the formation zone wall and greater forces will be required to dislodge the liner therefrom. As shown in FIG. 4, setting tool 14 is deflated by bleeding off pressure therein through running-in string 15. After deflation, the setting tool is withdrawn, leaving liner 13 in place.
With the formation thus sealed and protected, casing 20 can now be run through the sealed zone and cement slurry displaced down through the casing and up through the annular space between the casing and the sealed zone. As shown in FIG. 5, flow of connate fluids from formation 11 into the casing 20 is established by perforating through casing 20, cement 21, liner 13 and into the sealed zone by a perforator 22 in a well-known manner.
Apparatus suitable to perform the method is shown in FIG. 6. Inflatable setting tool 14 has a central body including a mandrel 23 which is threadedly coupled at its upper end to running-in string 1S and closed at its lower end by a plug 24. A plurality of ports 25 extend through the mandrel wall and provide communication between the bore 26 of the mandrel and the annular space S enclosed by a sleeve or bladder 27 made of rubber or other elastomeric material. The sleeve 27 is attached to mandrel 23 at an upper end 2S by cap member 29 and at a lower end 30 by oap member 31, the joints 32 between the ends of the sleeve and the caps being hermetically sealed in a suitable manner. The wall thickness of sleeve 27 increases gradually from the thinnest portion 33 at its mid-portion to thicker portions 34, 35 near each end, thereby permitting control of the progress of inflation of the sleeve.
A tube 48 is provided for by-passing fluids through the inflatable setting tool 14 as it is being shifted longitudinally through the fluid-filled well bore. The tube 48 communicates with a port `49 in the plug 24 and extends upwardly through mandrel 23 to a second port 50 above the upper cap member 29, thereby placing the spaces above and below the setting tool 14 in communication.
Attached to the exterior of setting tool 14 is the expandable seal or liner 13 made of a flexible yet impermeable material such as a cylindrical sheath of a soft steel or other metal having approximately a $46" wall thickness. Alternatively, a cylindrical sheath of a suitable plastic can be used. The inside surface of the liner may be suitably prepared for optimum bonding to cement by Sandblasting or the like. To reduce the outside diameter of liner 13 so that it may be expeditiously run into the well bore, longitudinal folds or corrugations 36 may be made therein as shown in FIG. 7.
Upper and lower means 37 for releasably attaching the liner 13 to the exterior of setting tool 14 are provided. Both means being identical in construction, only the upper means will be described. An annular sleeve piston 38 is slidably disposed about mandrel 23. Piston 38 is secured to a tubular skirt 39 which extends slidably over the exterior of head 40 above cap member 29. The length of skirt 39 is such as to provide a sealed expansible pressure chamber 41 between the upper end of head 40 and piston 3g. Ports 42 extend through the wall of mandrel 23 and provide communication between the interior of the mandrel and pressure chamber 41. Alternatively, vertical ports (not shown) may be provided through the cap member and head to place chamber 41 in communication with the space S between the sleeve and mandrel. A helical compression spring 43 is disposed around mandrel 23 between the top of piston 38 and tubing collar 44. Extending outwardly from the lower end of skirt 39 is an annular flange 45 having an outside diameter at least as great as the reduced diameter of liner 13 so that any obstructions met while lowering the apparatus into the well bore will not act to dislodge the liner from the setting tool. Depending downwardly from flange 45 are a plurality of notched retaining fingers 46 which engage the ends of liner 13 and securely hold it in place on the setting tool. Brace members 47 may be provided to aid in passing borehole obstructions.
In operation, the structural organization of parts shown in FIG. 6 is lowered into well bore 10 and positioned adjacent the formation to be protected 11. A suitable pressure medium is introduced down through running-in string 1S and passes through ports 2S into the space S, thus acting to expand sleeve 27. It will be appreciated, of course, that the apparatus could be run on a wireline and a downhole pump used to inflate the sleeve.
As mentioned above, due to variation in cross-sectional thickness of sleeve 27, expansion will begin at mid-portion 33 and progress toward each end. The mid-portion of expandable seal or liner 13 will therefore be the first portion to engage the-filter cake 12 on the formation wall and sleeve 27 will act to apply the liner from its midportion toward both ends. This mode of applying the liner, as previously explained, will act to displace la moveable portion of the filter cake from behind the liner and expedite the forming of a good seal.
The aforementioned pressure, transmitted via ports 42, moves pistons 3S against springs 43 to disengage the notched fingers 46 from the ends of the liner 13. This releases the liner from the setting tool 14 for applying the liner to the formation wall. Continued application of pressure to setting tool 14 will fully inflate sleeve 27 and firmly press the entire outer surface of liner 13 into sealing engagement adjacent the formation zone wall 19.
Setting tool 14 is deflated for removal by bleeding off -pressure from within sleeve 27 through running-in string 15. The elastomeric sleeve member 27 will return to its normal, unstretched size and the setting tool can be withdrawn from the well.
In practicing the method, after the well is drilled and before casing is run and cemented, the inflatable setting tool and an expandable liner are lowered into the well bore until the liner is adjacent a selected hydrocarbonbearing formation susceptible to damage by cementing operations. The setting tool is then actuated to expand the liner out against, and into sealing engagement with, the formation Wall. Controlled expansion of the liner acts to displace a movable portion of the filter cake .on the formation wall so that an effective seal is made by the liner. When the liner comes into contact with the lter cake, the filtrate flow is shut off and differential sticking is permitted as heretofore described. If desired, the setting tool is maintained in its fully inflated condition for a period of time to insure stabilization of filter cake fluid pressure and formation fluid pressures behind the liner.
The setting tool is then deflated and withdrawn from the well bore, leaving the liner in place. The pressure differential between hydrostatic mud column fluid pressure and formation fluid pressure acts to hold the impermeable liner in place and effectively seal the formation zone. Casing may now be run through the zone and cemented in place, the liner preventing contact between the cement slurry and the formation and thereby protecting the formation from cement damage. To complete the well, perforations may be made through the casing, cement and liner so that flow of connate fluids from the formation into the casing is permitted.
It will be readily seen that a method and apparatus for completing a well have been disclosed wherein formation zones can be protected from damage during cementing operations. The invention is simple and elective and will afford overall cost savings in oil recovery .operations by eliminating the need for remedial work to attain satisfactory production from formation zones which have sustained cement damage. Since certain changes may be made without departing from the scope of the inventive concept involved, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown inthe accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
What is claimed is:
1. A method of completing a well comprising the steps of: sealing off a selected zone traversed by a well bore with an impermeable sealing medium, thereby protecting it from invasion by cement slurry or filtrate; running and cementing casing through the sealed zone in the well bore; and perforating the casing, cement and sealed zone.
2. A method of completing a well comprising the steps of: lining the walls of a formation zone traversed by a well bore with an impermeable seal to substantially isolate fluids or filtrate in the well bore from the formation; running and cementing casing through the lined zone in the well bore; and perforating through the casing and cement and into the lined zone.
3. A method for completing a well comprising the steps of expanding an impermeable liner into engagement with the lter cake adjacent the formation wall over a selected zone while displacing `a movable portion of the filter cake from the formation wall; running and cementing casing through the selected zone in the well bore, and perforating through the casing, cement and liner and into the selected zone.
4. A method of sealing a permeable and porous formation zone having a lter cake on the wall thereof comprising the steps of: positioning an impermeable liner in said zone; expanding the impermeable liner into engagement with the filter cake; and controlling the progress of expansion of the liner to progressively displace a movable portion of the filter cake, so that pressure differentials between hydrostatic well fluid pressures and formation fluid pressures will act to hold the liner adjacent the zone wall in effective sealing engagement.

how fast does red twig dogwood grow?
I ordered Arctic Fire from Bluestone. I should have known by the price but I didn't realize that it would be just a tiny little thing in a 3 inch pot.
How long will it take to turn into a real "shrub"?
They grow like weeds for me (but in a good way.) I would definitely put them in the ground now and enjoy them. Those roots will establish very quickly, and they are very winter hardy.
I have several varieties I bought from various online sources, and they all came as a rooted twig. The first year they will put on a little growth, a lot more the next year, and soon you'll be rooting your own cuttings and moving suckers.
I have one that was a gallon from Walmart that is 4 years old. It is about 15 feet high and as wide.
Put them in.
Also I meant to say that there is very little question about their chances for survival. I have never had one die on me. I even rooted a cutting last September and it is putting on new growth in a holding bed now (not in a pot). It couldn't have had many roots at all before the hard freeze, and it is fine.
Yours have all season to establish. I am certain they will be fine.
I just received two arctic sun and one arctic fire from garden crossings and circle h growers and have the same issue; the shrubs are no more than 3" tall with one looking like it'll barely make it.
What's the best way to ensure that these will thrive, and how fast do they typically grow (I had planned these to be foundation plantings now, which obviously isn't going to happen for a while).
My red twig dogwood are at least 10 years old - were doing great until I moved them and they did OK the first year after the move (get at least 6 hrs. sun), and I do water them. Last yr. they were spindly and few leaves so I cut them way back. Now they really look bad - as in not recovering. What could be wrong? Everything I have read is about how easy they are to grow. Perhaps someone can tell me how fast they will grow to recovery or should I buy new ones?

Waterbury Select Board hears of invasive species concerns
WATERBURY The chairman of Waterburys Conservation Committee on Monday brought concerns to the Select Board about invasive plant species being mingled in sand and gravel piles that the town uses for road repairs.
Allan Thompson, the Conservation Committee chairman, said Tuesday the entire back of a sand pile near the post office in Waterbury Center is covered with phragmites, a large perennial grass found in wetlands. Thompson also said that Japanese knotweed, another large perennial, is partly visible from a village stockpile on Moran Lane.
Thompson said municipal vehicles involved in roadwork can transport the invasive plants onto private land.
Public Works Director Alec Tuscany suggested the problem would be addressed this year. He said the town plans to apply herbicides to the affected piles.
The Moran Lane invasive species problem affects a gravel pile, which also has sediment running off into Thatcher Brook. Tuscany said the town could build a berm or other barrier to solve that problem.MORE IN Central VermontPolice: Woman broke conditions Full StoryMONTPELIER The city hopes to have many of its so-called dual utility poles cleared out by the...

Lava rocks for use under an on-grade deck?
ThomcatVongDecember 28, 2011
Hi All,
I am building a 20'x12' deck on grade in my front yard. Underneath the deck, I want to make sure:
1. No weeds grow
2. No rodents or vermin turn it into their home/nest
I've read that one should put down weed suppressing cloth and then put 4" of gravel over it. Can I use red lava rock for the same purpose?
Any pros over gravel? Cons I should be aware of?
bahia(SF Bay Area)
Red lava rock ought to discourage weeds if applied over weed fabric, but be aware that it won't necessarily discourage rodents/vermin. If it is so low to the ground that you can't visually inspect below it, be alert for signs of rodents and you make need to take appropriate measures.

Each day can accommodate 8 people for Archery and 8 people for Trail Cycling training.
Those intending to lead Trail Cycling will also need to hold a current First Aid qualification which needs to be outdoor specific.
Please note that:
Archery Training needs to be renewed every 3 years and this can only be done by attending a Day 2 or by arranging to run some sessions at Lendrick Muir under observation (please contact us to arrange this).
Trail Cycling training needs to be renewed every two years, either by attending the update course/furthering skills day or a Day 2. Individuals who have completed the 2 day Trail Cycle training are required to attend an update or refresher course every 2 years. This course will reinforce information from the 2 day course and build on previous learning.
Please contact the Volunteers Unit if you are interested in attending an Elementary Food Hygiene Course or a Catering Training Day.
Trail Cycling and Archery must only be led by people who have been trained to do so. Training from other organisations may be sufficient; please contact us to discuss.
If your event offers these activities, please ensure that at least one person from your team has completed training. If you anticipate that this will not be possible, please contact us as soon as possible.

Through a physically demanding process of twisting, slicing, and weaving found rubber tires (primarily from bikes, cars, and farm equipment), she forms dynamic, whimsical sculptures that fuse ecological concerns with questions about racial and economic differences, globalization, and existing sociopolitical power structures.
The full-color catalogue features an essay by exhibition curator and Kemper Museum Curator Christopher Cook and an interview between the artist and Valerie Cassel Oliver, curator of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. The catalogue also includes a foreword by Kemper Museum Director Rachael Blackburn Cozad, artist biography, and exhibition checklist. $29.95

How often do you guys add magnesium to your soil? The reason I asked is i was looking at my plants and it looks like they need magnesium. The leafs are yellowing from top to bottom. I keep the dead leaves pruned away from the bottom.. I put some ebsom salt i the hole at planting and 6 wks late i put some in the water with some miracle grow... So today I put some or on the soil around the plants and watered it in
Hi Bruce,
I don't add epsom salts (magnesium) to my soil, I've never had a magnesium deficiency. There was a time when I added epsom salts to the planting hole because that was what several people (including my mother) had said to do. But I stopped doing that when I read the article referenced below. I will admit I have not done a side by side comparison. Maybe I will next year, or I could give a couple of plants an epsom salt drench and see if it makes a difference. I tend to think it will not.
A Washington State University Puyallup Research and Extension Center document about Epsom salt myths that in part states There are two reports from over 60 years ago on tomato production. When tomatoes are grown on magnesium deficient soil, a foliar application of Epsom salts can relieve magnesium deficiency in tomato plants; no effect on yield was reported. An automatic application of Epsom salts to plants or soils that are not magnesium deficient is a poor management strategy that can injure the plants and contaminate the soil.
I am not saying you don't have a magnesium deficiency, but it is kind of unusual outside of Greenhouse situations.
You don't have your zone and location included in your user name or anywhere in your post, knowing that information could help respondents give you more accurate answers to your questions. You can edit your user name to include that information.
Have you had a soil test? A soil test would give you a definitive answer and is always a good idea before one starts to make amendments to the soil.
Can you post pictures?
If it isn't a magnesium deficiency, to be able to suggest what might be wrong with your plant, it would be helpful to know more about the environment it is in. So, here are the "usual" questions:
Is the plant in the ground or in a container?
If in a container, what growing medium are you using? How large is the container? Is it self-watering or do you manually water it? Is the container in full sun, part sun or shade?
For both container plants and inground plants, it would be helpful to know these things as well: How often do you water? Have you checked the moisture of the growing medium or soil 3-5" below the surface? Is it dry, just right, or soggy? Are you feeding the plant? How often? What are the NPK values of any fertilizers you are using to feed it? What has the weather been like in your area?
If the plant is in the ground: Have you used any amendments? Do you mulch? If so, with what and how much (how deep)? Are there any other plants near the problem plant that are showing similar issues?
The more information you can give us, the better the chances that someone can give you an accurate diagnosis.
Never have done. I just ensure they are planted in a calcium-rich compost and it usually works out pretty well.
Mg deficiency and calcium deficiency are two totally unrelated problems so I don't see how this comment added anything to the discussion.
Bruce - Mg deficiency is a chronic problem for me in my soil and the deficiency is supported by repeated professional soil tests as well as symptoms. So Mg supplements in the form of Epsom salts are required by my plants every 4 weeks. In the planting hole and as a root drench or foliar feeding each month throughout the season.
I've never had much luck with scratching it into the soil around the plants - plus it can do root damage. In a liquid form works much better IMO.
This is assuming that Mg deficiency is what you have going. If you are in the Ozarks region of southern MO then it is a real possibility because of all our glacier scrub soil but have a soil test done when you get a chance for future reference.
Hope this helps.

I'm and extract brewer and I've never had an issue with a "twang" or off flavor. I do a full wort boil and I've always done a combination of LME and DME in my brews. My LHBS sells LME in 6lb containers and most recipes call for more than that so I adjust to use DME for the rest. Usually it comes out to 6lbs lme and 1-2 lbs dme. I have an 8 gallon kettle and steep my grains, bring to a boil, add all the lme then I add the DME at 20 minutes. My homebrew club has a few bjcp judges and only one of my beers they could tell was an extract brew and that was a blonde ale.
Seems like I'm the exception rather than the rule, judging from everyone's posts. I bought my equipment know I'd be going all grain in about a year so I do full boils, have a wort chiller, and I'm super anal about fermentation temps.
Primary: Belgian Wit
Secondary: Nada
Bottled: Arrogant Butthole, Arrogant Butthole on Oak and Chinook, Rebel Red (West Coast Red)
Next: Barley Wine
I do experience this strange after taste —*as others have commented, something somewhat sweet but not desirable. The one area of my process that seems to be less than optimal is that I do partial boils. I boil down to about 3 or 3.5 gallons, and then top off.
My next purchase will be a 40 qt pot, and I will do a full boil with maybe late extract addition.
If you can get superfresh LME (say from morebeer), it is really nice stuff and can make excellent beer. I have never messed with the can stuff myself, so I can't say. If you are in doubt, go with DME.
Im about to take on my first brew day this weekend. I bought a black ipa kit from the LHBS. It only has LME, steeping grains, and hops. Is steeping the grains good enough to allow for good hop utilization or do i need some DME if I am adding LME at flame out?
I think of it as a little bit hose water and a little bit metallic. Took me a few batches to get that you can eliminate most of that twang by taking the pot off the burner and adding 3/4 of the LME at flameout.
Bottled - Swamp Water Mead
Kegged - Ryerish Red
Fermenting - Plinius Maior
For a quart of Ale is a dish for a king.

State school bill blows up at Senate/House conference
CONCORD — Differences among House and Senate lawmakers over how to deal with the site of the former Laconia State School property, which the city has sought to acquire, prompted Representative Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett) to declare publicly yesterday that he would do all he could to see that Laconia never owned the property.
"Sometimes things get a little overheated," Chandler, a former speaker of the House, said later, "but I can't say I didn't say it."
Chandler's frustration arose over legislation to repeal a provision of the 2012-2013 state budget stipulating that the former State School property off North Main Street be offered for sale. The bill carried the House by a voice vote, but the Senate amended it to delay the effective date until June 30, 2015. The House refused to concur and requested a committee of conference, which met yesterday but failed to reach agreement, effectively scuttling the bill.
By repealing the current law any sale would become subject to the statute (RSA 4:40) governing the disposal of state-owned real estate. That law stipulates that before any sale the Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee, composed of four senators, four representatives and a representative of the governor's office, must first declare the property surplus before proceeding with any sale. Further, it requires that the property must first be offered to the municipality where it is located and cannot be sold for less than its "current market value."
When the conferees met, Chandler, who has consistently opposed the sale of the property, proposed the repeal become effective on January 1, 2015, but the Senate conferees refused. Senator Andrew Hosmer (D-Laconia) said that he and fellow conferees — Senators Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith) and Peter Bragdon (R-Milford) — agreed not to retreat from the Senate's position.
Chandler said that he sought to explain that under the law as it stands any private party could make a reasonable offer for the property. Consequently, he insisted that repealing the current would be "in the best interests of the city (Laconia)." When the Senate stood their ground, he confessed he grew "frustrated."
In 2011, the Legislature directed the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services to offer the entire site to the city for "not less than $10 million" and if the city failed to accept the offer, to offer it to Belknap County "at fair market value." If neither the city nor the county purchased the property, it would be put on the open market for no less than its fair market value.
That same year the state appraised the property for $2.16 million. The next year the City Council offered to purchase it for that amount, but the offer was not considered. The county expressed no interest in the property. Since then interest on the part of city officials in purchasing the property has waned.
When Mayor Ed Engler was inaugurated he said that the property represents a "tremendous economic development opportunity," not only for the city but also for the state. Ownership of the property, which rests with the state, he suggested is less important than the use of the site. "No other use of that beautiful piece of property should be considered until the state, in cooperation with Laconia, has exhausted every reasonable possibility that it could be used to site hundreds, if not thousands, of high-paying, professional-level jobs," Engler declared, vowing to pursue that goal as a "top priority."
The property consists of four tax parcels. The largest, some 200-acres, is bounded by North Main Street to the east, Meredith Center Road and Eastman Road to the north and Ahern State Park to the west and south and divided roughly in half by Right Way Path. This parcel includes some 60 acres adjacent to the Robbie Mills Sports Complex bounded by Eastman Road and Green Street known as Risley Field, which the city leases on a short-term basis to provide parking for the sports complex. There are also two smaller parcels. An undeveloped 10.4-acre lot at the junction of Old North Main Street and North Main Street and an unimproved wooded lot of 7.5-acres at the corner of Lane Road and Meredith Center Road.The state also leased both smaller parcels to the city in 2000 for 99 years at $1 a year.

City landlords back police officer at disciplinary hearing
LACONIA — When city police officer Brandi Enis was dispatched to what she thought was a fairly routine civil stand-by one afternoon in April, she probably never would have guessed she would be sitting in front of a disciplinary board two months later, with many of the city's landlords there to support her.
Typically, disciplinary boards, comprised of the Board of Commissioners, are held out of the public eye, however Enis and her lawyer Brad Davis asked for this one to be held in public, which is her right.
Along with the landlords, a number of rank-and-fiile police officers, including Laconia Police Association President Jeff Wholley, attended.
According to the agreed to facts, the landlord, John Daigneault, owns a two-family home on Elm Street and had called police on April 17 to help him because he needed to change a filter in one of the furnaces. Police routinely send "civil standbys" to homes or businesses to protect people and property from harm from another.
Civil stand-byes includes a police escort for someone to remove his or her belongings safely from a property, in cases where an employee has been terminated and may act out, or to assist landlords with evictions that may turn on them. Daily police logs show at least one or two are performed daily by all police departments.
When Enis arrived, Daigneault told her the way to get to the basement was through the tenant's apartment but that he was in the process of evicting him and the two had had ugly words the day before regarding an unrelated issue. He told her he had sent notice to the tenant more than 24 hours before he wanted to change the filter.
Enis said she knocked on the tenant's door, announced herself repeatedly as a police officer and after getting no answer, stood by while Daigneault used the key to let himself in. She said she made sure no one was in the apartment; she checked the bedroom again by announcing her presence; the landlord went into the basement and changed the filter; and the two were gone in less than five minutes.
She said she left her business card there for the tenant who apparently later called her supervisor, Sgt. Mike Finogle to complain about her being in the apartment without his permission.
Where the story splits into two sides is what happened after Finogle's investigation.
Finogle investigated and determined that she accidentally violated the tenant's Fourth Amendments rights and issued a letter of reprimand for unsatisfactory performance that Enis signed. He emphasized that her actions were not malicious but it is his contention that she should have called him to see if she could enter the home if the tenant wasn't there.
"She blindly followed the landlord," Finogle said.
He also said she should have ascertained that there were other ways for the landlord to get into the basement without going through the tenant's apartment.
Speaking of behalf of management, Prosecutor Jim Sawyer said that if anything illegal had been found it would have been suppressed by a criminal court.
"Did you think you could do this legally?" he asked Enis while the landlords watching the procedure were nodding that it was legal after the 24 hour notice had been given.
When the letter went upstairs to management, they determined it was the officer's third letter of reprimand in four months and launched an internal investigation — also assigned to Finogle.
Ultimately, management decided she should get two days of suspension without pay because the other letters of reprimand were also for "unsatisfactory performance." Three three violations in the same category of offense constitutes a two-day suspension according to the LPD police manual.
In her defense, Enis said she had never been trained on landlord-tenant civil law and that she was obligated to go where the dispatcher sent her. She has been a police officer in Laconia for five years and worked in law enforcement in Tampa, Florida and the Strafford County Sheriff's office before coming to Laconia.
She said Daigneault had the key to the apartment and was in the building for less than five minutes. Enis said she asked Daigneault if he had given the tenant 24-hour notice and he said he had.
"It's like you're damned if you do and damned it you don't," said Davis telling the commissioners Enis was in a "no-win situation."
He said the general practice is for officer to go in to ensure there is no harm to people and property and that an officer must go where he or she is sent by dispatchers.
Daigneault testified on Enis's behalf. He said the other two ways into the basement were unavailable — on was through a door that was dead-bolted from the inside by the tenants and the other was through the upstairs tenants apartment who has an illness and doesn't like to be disturbed.
"I have the authority to be there according to the lease agreement," Daigneault said, who said he called the Laconia Police after he had been referred to them by the Belknap County Sheriff's office, which was assisting with the eviction.
"(Enis) is being persecuted for no reason at all," Daigneault said. "She was there to do her job."
He also accused police management of attacking his credibility as well as Enis's for accusing both of them of violating someone's Fourth Amendment rights (protection from unreasonable search and seizure).
In closing, Davis questioned not only Enis's actions that day but why all of her infractions were categorized as "unsatisfactory performance."
"In my view they are not of the same type," he said noting that one of the other letters was for not writing out a sworn affidavit in time for an arraignment for a man who was incarcerated and one was for not creating a difference offense number for what Enis said was an ongoing investigation being done by an officer who was on vacation.
Davis said all three letter of reprimand were from Finogle, however Sawyer said two were from Finogle and one was issued by Lt. Rich Simmons.
Davis said the three have nothing to do with each other and that since the tenant withdrew his complaint and the landlord was there to defend her, no one is complaining about it except police management.
Sawyer rebutted by saying that Enis relied on a person "she didn't know from Adam" and that she can't go into someone's house without their permission.
Many of the landlords who attended yesterday's hearing wanted to speak on Enis's behalf, but since it wasn't a public hearing they were not allowed to. Police Commission Chair Warren Clements said the time for public comment was at the next commissioner's meeting and all were welcome to address the commission and management at that time.
A few landlords said after that they depend on the police to help them with civic stand-byes and felt that Enis was being unfairly targeted.
One landlord, who had never met Enis and did not wish to be identified, said Enis didn't make a mistake. She was sent there to do a job and now they're saying she did it wrong.
She said the landlord did the right thing by getting a civil standby and since he gave 24 hour notice, he had every right to be there and to bring a police officer with him because of the prior issues he had had with the tenant.
"She did nothing wrong," said this landlord.
Commissioners said they would issue a ruling on Enis's suspension within three to five days.

Barnstead neighbors still fighting about cat poop
LACONIA — Two Barnstead neighbors were back in court yesterday apparently still fighting over whether or not one women's cats are destroying one man's property with cat poop.
The issue began last year when they filed restraining orders against each other — Gilles Dube claims Victoria Bednarski's three cats continually defecate on his property, ruining his beach and the landscaping around his house.
Bednarski complained that Dube lights fireworks off next to her property line and occasionally fires guns.
After hearing the complaints in June of 2013 in the Belknap County Superior Court, Judge Kenneth McHugh issued a reciprocal restraining order.
Both parties stipulated that Bednarski has three cats while Dube has one but Dube insists that it is Bendarski's cats that continue to defecate on his property.
McHuge ordered Bednarski to keep her cats inside and not allow them to "use (Dube's) property as a giant litter box." In return he ordered Dube to stop firing guns and lighting fireworks at odd hours of the night.
As the winter snows melted this spring, Dube said he came to his property and once against found evidence of multiple cat poop on his (Locke Lake) beach. He said yesterday in Judge James O'Neill's courtroom that Bednarski recently told him he could "eat cat (poop)" and that her cats were there for her enjoyment.
He offered O'Neill pictures of what he said was cat poop but the judge didn't want to look at them.
Attorney Emily McLaughlin, representing Bednarski, told the court that her client said that she would think this whole case was funny if it wasn't happening to her. But it is.
McLaughlin said Dube has not stated a legal remedy and only provided a written "screed" about the allegedly misdoings of the Bednarskis as well as the Board of Selectmen and the Barnstead Police Department. who have at some point in time tried to defuse the tension between the two warring parties.
McLaughlin characterized Dube's recent request that the court find Bednarski in contempt as "vexatious litigation" and asked that it be dismissed.
"This is a waste of resources and was filed solely to harass," McLaughlin said, who also asked for the court to order Dube to pay her legal fees because Bednarski had to hire a lawyer.
She said the Bednarski is afraid to let her cats out of her house because of the alleged harassment and has had to contact the Locke Lakes Board of Trustees to try and ameliorate the situation.
In reply, Dube said he recently collected another pile of cat feces and that Bednarski was using cat poop as a way to "keep destroying his property."
O'Neill said he would make a ruling shortly but ordered that the mutual restraining order issued remain fully in place.

Amy Lafond listens to Lily Johnson's family before sentence is handed down
LACONIA — As more than 50 relatives and friends of the victims sat quietly in Belknap County Superior Court, Justice James D. O'Neill, III of Belknap County yesterday sentenced Amy Lafond to three-and-a-half years in prison for causing the death of Lilyanna Johnson and severely injuring Allyssa Miner.
"I cannot imagine the pain you all must be suffering," O'Neill said after passing sentence. This is truly a tragedy for our community."
Lafond was sentenced a week after pleading guilty to negligent homicide, second degree assault, possession of a narcotic drug and unlawful possession of a prescription medication. Other charges arising from the incident — manslaughter, a misdemeanor drug offense and three traffic violations — were dropped as the result of a plea bargain. Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen told the court, as she did a week ago when Lafond entered her plea, that the families of the victims accepted her decision to negotiate the plea bargain rather than take the case to trial.
For negligent homicide Lafond was sentenced to three-and-a-half to seven years in prison and required to undergo counseling and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse, forfeit her driver's license indefinitely and have no contact with the family of Lilyanna Johnson. She was also sentenced to three-and-a-half to seven years, for the second degree assault, to be served consecutively with six months of the minimum suspended conditional on counseling and treatment and good behavior for seven years while on parole. Lafond is also forbidden contact the family of Allyssa Miner.
The three-and-a-half to seven year sentence for possession of a narcotic drug was suspended, conditional on her good behavior for 10 years while on parole. Finally she was given a suspended sentence of a year in the Belknap County House of Corrections for unlawful possession of a prescription drug, a misdemeanor.
In addition, Lafond was ordered to make restitution of more than $265,000.
"This was certainly not what we anticipated," said Lilyanna Johnson's mother Bethany Davis after the hearing. She said that she expected a sentence of at least 20 years.
Earlier Davis, her gaze fixed on Lafond, told the court of watching the life leave her daughter's eyes and said "there's nothing left for us. You've taken it all."
Davis was among eight family members and close friends to address the court, several of them facing Lafond, who did not turn away. Spike Davis, who described himself as Johnson's favorite uncle, said that "she took away our angel. The world is not as good a place without Lily." To Lafond, he said, "I'm praying for you, because she asked me to."
"You took her away," declared Johnson's grandmother Susan Fleming, adding "I will never, ever forgive you. Your sentence should end when Lily's sentence ends," she continued. "You can go home when Lily comes home to us."
Jenn Camire said that "someone who made so many bad decisions took from us one who made so many good ones," then eyed Lafond and challenged her "to turn around and look at Lilyanna's family and friends." Asking for the maximum sentence, she said that "the punishment does not even come close to fitting the crime."
"This is a difficult, heartrending day for the entire community," began Pamela Littlefield, who said that "this was not an accident, but the result of poor decisions. And the results are irreversible."
The two girls, both 14 year old students at Laconia Middle School, were struck by the Jeep Cherokee driven by Lafond while on the sidewalk near the crosswalk at the south end of the Messer Street Bridge at approximately 2:30 p.m. on April 19. Lafond was traveling northbound on Messer Street toward its intersection with Opechee Street. A car going in the same direction had stopped at the crosswalk, apparently to enable students to cross the street. Lafond skirted the stopped car, crossed into the southbound lane of Messer Street, mounted the raised sidewalk and hit the two girls. That evening Johnson died from her injuries while Miner suffered a fractured pelvis and ruptured spleen as well as severe lacerations and internal injuries.

upc has a great geographic combination with bbt.they would make a powerhouse in the south east. upcdoes not have good management at the top and have notdone the kind of job melding all their acquisitionsand realizing the synergies lilke bbt has done. bbtmanagement could do wonders with the upc assets. the mergerof equals would be more like nationsbank andbankamerica with Allison ending up running a very large andprofitable bank, a bank which eventually merged with WellsFargo would stretch from coast to coast. the mergeronly works if bbt management ends up in control. ibelieve upc management is ready to cash in, step asideand let that happen. your thoughts?
OK........you sold me. I did not realize UPC wasin many markets........I still thought they werebanking Elvis. Perhaps I should read the newspapers moreoften.By the way, why would BBT want to be in all thosereally small Florida locations that UPC isin........with brick/mortar branches?Also, I am underthe impression that Wells' strategy is more towardelectronic banking. Some people think Wells will not doanother major combination this century [only 100 yearsleft to go].
the florida branches would only represent anentrance point of bbt wanted to be in Fla for cosmetics.if not they could be sold. fla purchases wereprobably worst upc made. Wells needs a customer base toconvert to electronic banking. combined bbt upc customerbase would be large. upc has west coast motgagebusiness for some reason, i don't know what. any deal withwells would be pretty far down the road.

It looks like those Ariana Grande diva rumors are back -- and this time, the singer is speaking out.
Ariana Grande has announced her first headlining North American tour in support of her new album, 'My Everything.'
Ariana Grande is making the rounds Down Under, visiting Aussie talk show 'Sunrise' and dishing on koalas, crocodiles, the meaning of her album title and more.
Football fans were in for a huge treat last night (Sept. 4) when Ariana Grande performed the 'Star-Spangled Banner' at the Seattle Seahawks game.
It was a day that shook the Internet: hundreds of personal photos and videos allegedly hacked from dozens of celebrities' personal phones and files were released on Aug. 31.
Did Ariana Grande shade fans at a Meet and Greet? She explains her abrupt departure.
With her 16 minute performance closing out the 2014 MTV VMA's and with her accepting the Video Vanguard Award, you'd think that Beyonce would have ruled the Twitterverse during the awards show, but that's not true.
The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards kicked off with a 'Bang Bang' trio of superstars including Jessie J, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande.
Earlier this month, Ariana Grande caused some buzz when UK magazine Attitude implied her ex-boyfriend cheated on her. Last night (Aug. 21), the 'Break Free' singer set the record straight.
Arianators, listen to the first tracks from Ariana Grande's upcoming album 'My Everything'!
Ariana Grande sat down with Billboard to discuss her spirituality, her passion for R&B and her very strange interests as a little girl. Read the full story here!
Ariana Grande is a kickass, alien-fighting space princess that shoots rockets from her tatas in her new video for 'Break Free' feat. Zedd — and that's just the beginning!

One Hundred Years Ago
May, 1914
Lumberjack held for murder
Melvin Hitchcock, of Wilmington, a brawny lumberjack, is in the Essex County Jail at Elizabethtown, held to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of murder in the first degree. Hitchcock and another lumberjack named Cannon, who is being held as a material witness, went to the home of Mrs. Hannah Ovitt, in Lake Placid, on Saturday night, May 2, 1914 and the three had a carousal during which they were heard quarreling. At 2 o'clock in the morning the house was discovered on fire. After the firemen extinguished the flames they found the dead body of Mrs. Ovitt wrapped in a mattress behind a coach. The coroner found wounds on her head which probably caused her death. The men were found in a log driver's camp near the village where they were employed.
The woman came from a reputable family, but was somewhat demented and had become a victim of the drink habit. It is believed that Hitchcock killed her and than fired the house to hide his crime.
Mistake could be fatal
Suffering from a severe headache on Sunday morning, Mrs. Richard A. Lane, 9 Jefferson Street, Glens Falls, went to a medicine cabinet to obtain a remedy. In separate envelopes of similar appearance were headache tablets and bichloride of mercury tablets which had been procured to be used as a disinfectant for a wound on her hand. By mistake she took the poison. In a short time her husband noticed that she was very pale and called her attention to it. She told him that her stomach seemed to be burning and she was afraid that she had taken the wrong tablet.
Before going to a physician he called in a neighbor who promptly gave Mrs. Lane the white of an egg for an antidote. If her life is saved, she will owe it to this simple remedy which may have absorbed the deadly poison before it entered her system. The physician attending Mrs. Lane says she has a chance of recovery owing to the fact that the antidote was promptly administered but only time will tell as she will be in critical condition for the next two or three weeks.
