Town may have to fix grave errorBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
May 19. 2013 10:14PM
NEW IPSWICH — Seventy to eighty graves at Smithville Cemetery may have to be moved, after surveyors found that the burial sites are encroaching on state land.
"You don't just pick people up and move them," Selectmen Chairman George Lawrence said. "There's a lot involved and it can be costly. We're really hoping we don't have to go through that."
The Smithville Cemetery abuts land that is either owned, or under easement, by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services to use for various flood control measures, according to Jim Gallagher, chief of the department's Dam Bureau.
The cemetery, which is downstream from a flood control dam, was intended to be used as a staging area for heavy equipment whenever the dam needed major reconstruction. But that land has now become a burial ground, Lawrence said.
"I have gravesites in that area myself," Lawrence said, "and my son is buried there."
He said the issue arose when DES was alerted the town was adding fill to improve ball fields located in an area behind the dam. Gallagher said because the fill could interfere with flood control, surveyors were sent. They discovered the graves were encroaching on state land.
The state needs the land for staging for dam reconstruction, Gallagher said. If there's not another suitable piece of property available to the Dam Bureau, it's possible the graves will have to be moved.
"We may have to relocate some graves because we don't want to be doing major reconstruction on top of them," Gallagher said.
Lawrence said that a burial in the affected area of the cemetery was to have taken place Saturday, but an alternate gravesite had to be found in Central Cemetery.
"There's still room in Central, but a lot of people in town want to be buried in Smithville," Lawrence said.

Nigeria - Church Attack
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — An army official says gunmen shot dead at least 19 people in a Christian church in central Nigeria.
Lt. Col. Gabriel Olorunyomi told The Associated Press on Tuesday that gunmen stormed a church building where worshippers had gathered to pray late Monday in the town of Otite, near the city of Okene.
He said the pastor was killed and "many" were injured but he could not immediately say how many because they had been taken to different hospitals.
He said authorities are still searching for people who may have run into nearby bushes.
He declined to say who they suspected and there has been no claim of responsibility for the attack.
However, a radical Islamist sect has claimed responsibility for several church attacks in Nigeria this year.

Whether children actually know or sense that homeopathic medicines are good for them for not, they deserve safe medicines. It is time that parents and physicians seek safe, natural and effective alternatives to conventional, potentially harmful drugs. Homeopathic medicine is one such alternative.
Many parents consider homeopathy a godsend to their children as well as to themselves. Homeopathic medicines can be quick and effective for treating infant teething or colic, turning cranky babies into giggling cherubs. They can reduce the pain and discomfort of a child's earache, which sharply decreases the need for antibiotics or ear tubes. They can strengthen the child's own natural defenses so that he can fight off that cold or flu that every other kid in school seems to be getting. And they can benefit the hyperactive child, helping to calm his restlessness.
Homeopathic remedies are able not only to relieve many common acute problems of children, but can help prevent recurrent bouts of illness. And homeopathic medicines can treat both physical ailments and emotional upsets.
With the aid of some basic knowledge, all of these valuable benefits are within your grasp.
[*Footnote: It is interesting to note that veterinarians who practice homeopathic medicine have commonly observed that animals seem to be less frightened when they are treated with homeopathic remedies than when they are given conventional drugs. Once again, perhaps our pets know something that many of us don't know or resist knowing.]
Our Children/Ourselves
A growing number of parents are concerned about the side effects of conventional drugs, especially in the treatment of babies and young children. Lynn and Ken Elliot of Berkeley, California, are two such parents. While they seek out their pediatrician for their baby Elizabeth's general check-ups and for diagnosis of potentially dangerous symptoms, they also feel that the best medical care often begins in the home. Instead of rushing Elizabeth to the pediatrician every time she coughs or has a cold, fever, or earache, Lynn and Ken use homeopathic medicines to treat themselves. Although both are relatively new to homeopathy, they have used these natural medicines successfully for treating many common pediatric complaints. They first tried homeopathy when Elizabeth was four months old. She had colic and was crying intensely. Although Elizabeth was relieved when she was carried and rocked, she would immediately begin wailing as soon as she was put back down in her crib. After a couple of hours, even the carrying and rocking didn't help, and Elizabeth cried almost constantly.
Ken and Lynn then remembered that a friend had given me a book on homeopathy at Elizabeth's baby shower and, after reviewing the chapter on colic, they got Chamomilla 30 (chamomile) from their homeopathic medicine kit, crushed a couple of small pellets between two spoons to make them easy for Elizabeth to swallow, and put them under her tongue. Within a minute or so Elizabeth was asleep and, upon waking, her colic was gone.
Although this may sound like a miracle cure, such miracles are common when using homeopathic medicines. Of course, such dramatic successes don't happen every time; homeopathy, like every kind of healing, has its limitations. Still, its effectiveness as well as its safety are recognized today by millions of people all over the world.
