Rents on the rise but not enough to encourage new buildings By michAel Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The annual survey prepared by the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority (NHHFA) pictures a tight residential rental market across much of the state — including Laconia — marked

by low vacancy rates and slowly rising rents.

Each year the NHHFA assesses market conditions by questioning property owners and managers who offer units for year-round rent at market rates, culling seasonal and subsidized units from their sample.

Statewide the vacancy rate was 3.4-percent for all rental units and 3.3-percent for twobedroom units, which is close to the turnover rate of 2 percent representing the usual comings and goings of tenants. The median gross monthly rent, including utilities, was $1,018

for all units and $1,076 for twobedroom units.

In Laconia, the vacancy rate was 3.6 percent for all units and 5.6 percent for twobedroom units. The median gross monthly rent was $920 for all units and $953 for twosee RenTs page 8

Rachel Gilbert celebrated as Laconia’s oldest resident

LACONIA — ‘’What kind of a cane is this?’’ asked 102-year-old Rachel Gilbert, after she was presented with the Laconia Centennial Cane in a ceremony at the Belknap County Nursing Home Tuesday afternoon.

Ann Dearborn Kaligian, who presented the cane, explained that it was a Centen-

nial Cane, originally from the Dearborn family which her late husband, Bob, had first presented to Madeline Whalen, at that time the city’s oldest resident, during the city’s 1993 Centennial celebration.

“I never thought I’d require a cane,’’ said Gilbert, who said that yesterday’s ceremony ‘’was something I never expected.’’

Kaligian recalled that Gilbert’s husband, Eugene, built a ranch style house

for her and her husband in Laconia in 1962 which cost them $16,000. ‘’He built a lot and I was the bookkeeper,’’ said Gilbert, who despite her age still has vivid memories of growing up on Winter Street in Laconia as one of 11 children in the Frank Morin family. Her grandfather, J.P. Morin, owned the Belknap Mill.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — “Glee” actor Cory Monteith, who had struggled for years with substance abuse and once said he was lucky to be alive, died of an overdose of heroin and alcohol, the British Columbia coroner’s office said Tuesday.

“There is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith’s death was anything other than a most tragic accident,” the office said in a statement.

The 31-year-old was found dead in his Vancouver, British Columbia, hotel room on Saturday after he didn’t check out on time. He was believed to be alone when he died. Hotel video and electronic records indicate he returned to his room by himself early Saturday.

At a briefing Tuesday afternoon, police said they believe Monteith had been dead for several hours before he was found. They said the coroner’s report didn’t indicate the levels of heroin or alcohol in his system. They ruled out foul play.

“Our belief is that when he took the heroin he was alone,” said Vancouver Police Departsee GLEE page 4

Egyptian cabinet has women & Christians but no Islamists CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s interim leader swore in a Cabinet on Tuesday that included women and Christians but no Islamists as the military-backed administration moved swiftly to formalize the new political order and present a more liberal face that is markedly at odds with the deposed president and his supporters.

The changes came at a time of deep polarization and violence in Egypt, including new clashes that killed seven people as part of the continuing bloodshed that

has marked the days following the armed forces coup that swept President Mohammed Morsi from office and cracked down on the Muslim Brotherhood.

Egypt’s military already wields great influence behind the scenes, and the army chief, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who ousted Morsi on July 3, was given a promotion in the Cabinet. He became a first deputy prime minister in addition to keeping his post as defense minister.

For most of the two years since the over-

throw of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, the country has been split into two camps — one led by Morsi, his Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies, and another led by secular Egyptians, liberals, Christians and moderate Muslims.

The fault lines remain, except that the Islamist camp is no longer in power. It does not include members of any Islamist parties — a sign of the enduring division that follows the removal of Morsi, Egypt’s see EGYPT page 5

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate stepped away from the brink of a meltdown on Tuesday, confirming one of President Barack Obama’s long-stalled nominees, agreeing to quick action on others and finessing a Democratic threat to overturn historic rules that protect minority-party rights.

“Nobody wants to come to Armageddon here,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat whose talks with Arizona Republican John McCain were critical in

avoiding a collision that had threatened to plunge the Senate even deeper into partisan gridlock.

McCain, a veteran of uncounted legislative struggles, told reporters that forging the deal was “probably the hardest thing I’ve been involved in.”

The White House reaped the first fruits of the deal within hours, when Richard Cordray’s nomination to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was approved 66-34. He was first nominated in July 2011

and has been in office by virtue of a recess appointment that bypassed the Senate.

In a written statement, Obama said he was pleased by the developments and that he hoped Congress would “build on this spirit of cooperation” to pass immigration legislation and rein in interest rates on student loans, among other measures.

As part of the Tuesday’s agreement, both parties preserved their rights to resume combat over nominations in the future, see SENATE page 7

Indictments allege 3 women were involved in trying to smuggle drugs into county jail

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A Belknap County grand jury indicted three people on Thursday for a variety of charges relating to getting drugs into the county jail on or about February of 2013.

According to the indictments, April Tyrrell, 49, whose address was given as the Belknap County House of Corrections is charged with one felony count of being an accomplice to delivery of articles to a prisoner and one count of conspiracy to deliver articles to prisoners.

Jonathan Bristow, 50, whose address was given as 1040-A Route 132 in New Hampton in charged with one count of conspiracy to deliver articles to prisoners and one count of delivery of articles to prisoners.

Patricia Kennett, 30, of the N.H. Prison for Women in Goffstown is charged with one count of conspiracy to deliver articles to prisoners.

Indictments alleged that the three spoke about getting drugs into the jail by having Bristow come to visit and use duct tape to secure a package containing them under a radiator in the public restroom. The type and amount of drugs has not been identified.

One of Tyrrell’s House of Corrections assignments was to clean the bathroom in the evenings. Tyrrell was sentenced in December of 2012 to serve 12 months in county jail by a Belknap County Superior Court judge for three counts of drug possession.

The conspiracy was uncovered when the Kennett and Bristow allegedly spoke on the telephone and used Tyrrell to retrieve the drugs.

Kennett was being held in county jail during the time of the alleged drug smuggling conspiracy on a

probation violation.

Kennett was convicted of robbery on February 2, 2012 for a purse snatching she committed in downtown Laconia on October 26, 2011 and sentenced to serve 1 to 3 years in New Hampshire State Prison.

She was put on probation but records say in December of 2012 she violated the terms by living with a new boyfriend at a different address, admitting to being an accomplice to burglary, associating with people who were also on probation, admitting the use of a variety of illegal drugs including cocaine, heroin, and benzodiazapines while on probation, and failing to complete a drug program while on release.

Corrections Superintendent Daniel Ward said he couldn’t comment on this specific case or investigation. As to smuggling any kind of contraband into the jail, he said his department routinely investigate allegations and incidents and then turns the cases over to the Belknap County Sheriff’s Depart-

ment for investigation.

“If we have any evidence the sheriff turns it over to the Belknap County Attorney and she will prosecute every time,” he said.

Ward says he wants to dispel the concept that jail or prisons are lawless cultures. “On the contrary, we are very disciplined,” he said.

“If you can’t follow the rules in jail then how can you expect to follow them when you’re not in jail,” he said.

He said drugs in jail are dangerous for a number of reasons including the safety of the prisoners who don’t use them, prisoners who may accidentally overdose or have an allergic reactions, and his staff.

Over his years in corrections, he said people have tried hundreds of different ways to get drugs, weapons, or cigarettes into jails and prisons and he and his officers have generally dealt with some version of all of them.

EPA fines Laconia landlords

LACONIA — Two local landlords — Allen Enterprises Rental Properties and Open Arms Outreach, Inc. — have settled claims with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for failing to notify prospective tenants of potential lead-paint hazards at three properties they owned between 2009 and 2011.

In a statement released yesterday, the EPA said that the property owners agreed to pay fines of $2,400 and undertake environmental improvements at 101 Church Street, a building owned by Allen Enterprises, costing $21,600.

Plans to build vacation rentals on existing foundation at Weirs Beach has neighbors whose view would be blocked alarmed

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Mailloux family, which began the development of what is now identified as the Meredith Bay gated community on Brickyard Mountain and operates Akwa Marina Yacht Club, again finds itself at odds with neighbors at The Weirs over a proposal to erect a building on upper Lakeside Avenue that would obstruct the view of the lake enjoyed by homeowners across the street.

Some years ago, when Mailloux was developing the marina, he was embroiled in litigation with unit owners at the Village of Winnipesaukee and residents of Epworth Avenue, who claimed rights to the beach he intended to include in the marina.

Richard Mailloux and his son Kurt, doing business as Brick House, LLC, now seek to construct a residential building housing two units alongside a brick residence, which stands on a 14,077-square foot (0.32-acre) lot at 425 Lakeside Avenue, overlooking the marina. The property lies in the commercial resort zone where six units per acre are permitted and the three units proposed — the two new units and the existing home, would normally require half-an-acre, GLEE from page 2 ment spokesman Brian Montague.

He added: “There was evidence in the room that was consistent with a drug overdose. We’re not providing exactly what we found at the scene.”

Monteith’s death recalled the lives of Heath Ledger, Corey Haim and River Phoenix — actors who battled substance abuse and died in their 20s and 30s.

Monteith had talked bluntly about struggling with addiction since he was a teenager, calling it a serious problem and telling Parade magazine in 2011 he was “lucky to be alive.”

In that interview, he said he was using marijuana and drinking by age 13, and his drug use was “out of control” by the time he was 16. “Anything and everything, as much as possible,” he said. “I had a serious problem.”

Monteith admitted himself to a treatment facility in April for substance addiction, a representative said at the time. He also received treatment when he was 19. He told Parade that his mother and friends had staged an intervention back then, afraid he “could die.” However, he said, “I did the stint but then went back to doing exactly what I left off doing.”

Typically, the younger a person gets from preceding page landlords to disclose the presence of lead-paint to prospective tenants as well as to provide them with sufficient information about the risks of exposure lead-paint to enable them to make an informed decision about renting the unit. Exposure to leadpaint is a serious issue in New England where much of the housing stock is aged.

or 21,780-square-feet. All three units would be vacation rentals.

Appearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment this week, the Mailloux requested a variance from the density requirement.

The ZBA deferred its decision pending the receipt of additional information from the staff of the Planning Department.

Kurt Mailloux noted that a foundation, 28 feet by 50 feet, had been poured adjacent to the brick house, which was depicted on the plan as intended for an addition. He told the board that the new building would be constructed on this existing foundation. The building would be about 7,000-square-feet in size and 35 feet high and designed to resemble a barn, which would attached to the house by a breezeway. The three units would be vacation rentals.

John Gentile and Mike Ames, whose homes abut the Maillouxs’ property on the other side of Lakeside Avenue, have challenged the project, which they claim would obscure their views of the lake and diminish the value of their properties. Planning Director Shanna Saunders noted that unless nearby property owners possessed easements protecting their views, see next page

hooked on drugs or alcohol, the higher the risk of relapse. It’s also more challenging for people addicted to multiple substances.

“When an addicted person re-enters their environment, they have a lot to negotiate” such as finding a sober network of friends and not giving in to cravings, said addiction expert Dr. Karen Miotto at the University of California, Los Angeles. Such pressures can cause a person to relapse.

Gia Milani, who recently produced and directed a Canadian film featuring Monteith, this week said he “seemed healthy” when she last saw him four weeks ago in Los Angeles.

“He looked super fit and he was energetic and excited,” Milani said.

She said Monteith showed no signs of a substance abuse problem while shooting the film a year ago.

“Glee,” with its catchy song-anddance numbers and high-profile guest stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Britney Spears, became an instant hit when it debuted in 2009. Monteith served as the show’s resident hunk with a heart of gold. The show’s producers have called him an exceptional performer “and an even more exceptional person.”

The publicist for Monteith’s girlfriend and “Glee” co-star, Lea Michele, released a statement Tuesday. “Since Cory’s passing, Lea has been grieving alongside his family and making appropriate arrangements with them,” it said. “They are supporting each other as they endure this profound loss together.” The statement was first reported by People magazine.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 17, 2013— Page 5

from preceding page there was nothing to stop Mailloux from building to the permitted dimensions, explaining that the requested variance pertains only to the number of of units. Later she said that if the Maillouxs decided to build an addition to the existing house, they would not need a variance.

Gentilesaid that there is also an apartment in the existing brick house and granting the variance would permit not three but four units on the undersized lot. Richard Mailloux told the board that steps were underway to remove the tenant from the building and that only the three units are planned for the property. He told the board that because the lot is sloped toward the lake and the foundation is stepped, the Maillouxs could construct two rental units facing the lake on the site without building to a height of 35 feet and obscuring the views of their neighbors.

Five tests are required for a variance. Of these demonstrating that denying the variance would impose an unnecessary hardship on the property owner and that granting the variance would have no adverse effect on the value of surrounding properties appear the most significant.

The ZBA agreed to return to the issue at its next regularly scheduled meeting in August and in the meantime asked Saunders to determine the circumstances surrounding the pouring of the foundation, particularly what approvals may have been granted by the Planning Board.

Richard and Kurt Mailloux want to built a 2-unit vacation rental property on this foundation at Weirs Beach. Neighbors who live across Lakeside Avenue say the structure would cut off their view of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Akwa Marina Yacht Club in the background.

The lot the Mailloux’s own in not large enough to accommodate their plans and they are seeking a variance from the zoning ordinance.

EGYPT from page 2 first freely elected president.

The interim president’s spokesman had earlier said posts would be offered to the Muslim Brotherhood, but the group promptly refused, saying it would not take part in the military-backed political process and would continue protests until the legitimately elected Morsi is reinstated.

“We refuse to even discuss it,” a senior official of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm, the Freedom and Justice party, told The Associated Press.

“What is built on illegitimacy is illegal,” he said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media before the party issued a formal statement on the formation of the Cabinet.

The only Islamist party that supported Morsi’s ouster — the ultraconservative Salafi el-Nour party — was not represented and criticized the leadership as “biased,” lacking inclusion and repeating “the same mistake the last government was blamed for.”

U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said he had talked with el-Sissi about 10 times in the past week.

“We have encouraged publicly and privately the leaders of Egypt, including the interim president, the interim vice president, and the prime minister in particular, to be inclusive, to bring all political parties in, to allow them to participate in the writing of the constitution and the elections,” Hagel told reporters in Florida. “That’s the only way it will work. We’ve been very clear on that.”

Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, an economist in his 70s, leads the government of 33 other ministers.

Pat Buchanan

Many had convicted Zimmerman in their hearts before trial even began Trayvon Martin was an unarmed teenager walking home from a convenience store with Skittles and iced tea, when he was shot to death by a racist, profiling wannabe cop named George Zimmerman.

In the Big Media, which has relentlessly sought out the voices of those most incensed by the verdict in Sanford, Fla., that is how the Saga of Trayvon Martin is being told. And from listening to TV reports of the rage across black America, that is what is widely believed there.

But is that what happened? Well, not exactly.

Trayvon Martin was not shot while walking home.

He was shot after sucker-punching George Zimmerman, breaking his nose, knocking him down, jumping on top of him, beating him martial arts style and banging his head on a concrete walk, while Zimmerman screamed again and again, “Help me, help me.”

This is what George Zimmerman said happened.

It is what the sole eyewitness to the fight, John Good, says happened. It is what Sanford police believed.

It is what the defense proved beyond a reasonable doubt. It is what that jury of six women came to believe.

Why, then, do so many in the black community believe Trayvon was profiled and murdered, when even most of the analysts on the cable news shows were saying in the last days of the trial that the prosecution had failed completely to make its case?

Answer: Many had convicted George Zimmerman in their hearts before the trial began. Here, as this writer noted a year ago, are some of the voices that had declared Zimmerman guilty of murder before a witness had been called.

“Blacks are under attack,” railed Jesse Jackson. “Killing us is big business.” Trayvon was “shot down in cold blood by a vigilante ... murdered and martyred.”

“A hate crime,” said Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Trayvon had been “executed.”

The Grio compared his killing to the lynching of Emmett Till in Mississippi in 1955. The New Black Panther Party put Zimmerman’s face on a “Wanted Dead or Alive” poster, called for 5,000 black men to run him down and said Trayvon had been “murdered in cold blood.”

Spike Lee twittered Zimmerman’s home address.

And President Obama? Did he calm the waters? Hardly. He signaled whose side he was on. “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” he said.

Not only did they all inflame the black community into believing a

racist atrocity had occurred, others still do so, even after the weeks of testimony that raised far more than a reasonable doubt.

Moments after the verdict, Al Sharpton ranted, “This is an atrocity.” He went on to explain the moral outrage that the ladies of the jury had just committed.

“What this jury has done is establish a precedent that when you are young and fit a certain profile, you can be committing no crime, just bringing some Skittles and iced tea home to your brother, and be killed.”

Did the ladies of the jury really establish such a “precedent”?

The four-term mayor of Washington, D.C., Marion Barry, has now brought his healing touch to the proceedings.

The Zimmerman verdict was “awful,” he said, another example of “institutionalized racism.” But look to Marion to find a bright side.

“The good news is that Zimmerman will never be in peace. He won’t be able to get a job. He’ll have to go underground, travel incognito and never live in peace. That’s the good news for me.” Now a comment like that might befit a James Earl Ray. But George Zimmerman? Who turned this neighborhood watch fellow, well-liked by all in his community, into some racist monster?

The night of the verdict, Mark O’Mara gave America the answer.

George “didn’t know why he was turned into a monster,” O’Mara told the assembled journalists. “But quite honestly, you guys had a lot to do with it. You took a story that was fed to you, and you ran with it, and you ran right over him, and that was horrid to him.”

Like his partner Don West, O’Mara exhibited moral courage in that post-verdict press conference, as did that jury of six women, who rejected the prosection’s pleas to at least give them manslaughter or child abuse.

President Obama might now exhibit a little moral courage of his own, by directing his Justice Department to halt this scavenger hunt for a “hate crime.” If Sanford police and the FBI could not find a hate crime, and the prosecution could not prove racial profiling or malice, what reason is there to believe any such motive ever existed?

If Barack Obama and Eric Holder capitulate to Al Sharpton’s demand for “Plan B” and the NAACP’s demand for a second trial of George Zimmerman for a crime of which he has been acquitted, most Americans will come to believe this is no search for justice, but a drive for racial retribution and revenge. And they will be right.

End this persecution of George Zimmerman, Mr. President.

Shut it down.

LETTERS Does Ms. Loesch know difference between prison & county jail?

To The Daily Sun, When reading letters composed by Bernadette Loesch, I have to conclude that she is a very intelligent person but just as with some of the others who indulge in the “sport” of opinion I tend to disagree with her in most instances. In her letter on Tuesday she chastises the County Convention for not joining in with the County Commission in favor of a new, shall we say, “jail” that will treat inmates like visitors to a spa in the Hamptons. She describes the existing jail as an “ inadequate, decrepit, abundant violation facility”. Hmm, I wonder how many visits she’s made to the jail. She goes on to extol N.Y. State for it’s revamp of it’s “prisons”.

Apparently Ms. Loesch doesn’t know the difference between a county jail and a state prison. County jail inmates cannot be incarcerated there for a term of more than one year and because of plea bargains, good behavior etc. there are few that serve out a full year To spend the amount of money that the commission wants to spend on a facility for short term inmates is ridiculous. Short term stays don’t allow enough time to make a major change in the thinking and lives of the people that end up there

and by the way, I was always of the assumption that jails and prisons were meant to be a form of punishment. Oops,I guess that wasn’t politically correct.

I applaud the County Convention for looking at other ways to improve the facility that won’t require the outlay for construction and the massive annual expenses to operate it that would probably cause a mass exodus from the city of Laconia as it’s citizens would bear the brunt of the increase in taxes necessary to fund it.

Now to Dick Devens (don’t you just love him). Mr. Devens has concluded that corporations aren’t people. Okay, if that’s the case, are corporations run by trained mice ,robots or maybe aliens from outer space? Please explain Mr. Devens. If he feels that corporations shouldn’t be allowed to be involved in the political process does he feel the same about unions or non-profits or any organization that is run by a board of directors or a privately owned company that is under control of a family or investors?

Please Mr. Devens let us know how you would pick and choose.

If Zimmerman had obeyed police, Trayvon would be alive today To The Daily Sun, The Daily Sun is, in my view, an excellent newspaper. It keeps us informed about the most important stories on the international, national, and local level, lets us know what events are taking place in the area, publishes op-ed pieces that express a variety of views and publishes letters from the local citizenry. These letters can be astonishing, informative and thought-provoking. In the former category I would place the letter by Jack Stephenson in which he claims Trayvon Martin attacked Zimmerman because he knew he was much stronger and that, had he not done so, he would be alive today. I very much doubt that Mr. Stephenson knows any more than I do what a 17-yearold black boy would be thinking while

He is correct, however, that Martin, by attacking Zimmerman, gave him a reason to commit murder and use Florida’s “stand your ground law” to get away with it. It doesn’t take a Talmudic scholar however to realize that, had Zimmerman obeyed the request of the Police Department and gone home, there is an excellent chance that Trayvon Martin would be alive today.

By the way, I do hope everyone caught the press conference in which George Zimmerman’s brother lamented that although the jury had found him not guilty, George would have to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder for fear of armed vigilantes. In the words of the great Robert Burns, “Oh wad some power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as others see us”!

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 17, 2013 — Page 7

LETTERS Zimmerman had history of spotting ‘suspicious black people’ To The Daily Sun, To Robert Moran and Jack Stephenson: Your recent letters to the Laconia Daily Sun literally brought tears to my eyes. It is assumptions such as yours that assuage your collective consciences and then in turn are able to formulate your theories. The events which lead to the death of a young man, staying at his father’s home in a gated community, returning home from the store at night was purposely stalked by George Zimmerman. These facts are documented.

It is unconscionable, unwarranted, unjust and unreasonable as well as illogical for the two of you to extrapolate out and thus form your theories about who did what when. You weren’t there. One of the human beings who WAS involved in this tragedy is dead.

We cannot hear his narrative of the series of events that ultimately lead up to his death, other than the screams for help. Trayvon Martin was able to utter (as recorded on the cell phone) “get off of me”.

Fact: It took Florida prosecutors an inordinate amount of time, with public pressure, to file charges against George Zimmerman. Fact: Mr. Zimmerman’s attorney’s spun such a tale of deceit, innuendo and doubt, that the jury had very little choice in the matter. The options that the jury had of conviction or acquittal were narrow, shortsighted and much too restrictive.

Other known facts about this particular horror and subsequent outcome: 1) Trayvon Martin is dead. 2) George Zimmerman was a free man after he admitted murdering Trayvon Martin. 3) As a result of his “injuries”, Mr. Zimmerman was NOT hospitalized. 4) The police dispatcher tape recordings let us hear what George Zimmerman was doing and saying at the point of his “sighting” Trayvon Martin. 5) George Zimmerman was instructed by the police dispatcher to

stay in his vehicle until police arrived on the scene. 6) Florida’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ Law is one of the very worst statues ever formulated and placed into our body of laws. This “law” allows any of us to use brute force if we perceive being threatened. To my mind this sounds like lawlessness.

Why have authorities to turn to when we can “take care of the perceived problem on our own?” 7) George Zimmerman was stalking Trayvon Martin as a result of preconceived assumptions. 8) This case was developed on the part of both sides from a theory, especially a complex one formed from a number of simple elements. 9) Documented evidence shows that Zimmerman made numerous calls, over a period of time, to police in which he reported “suspicious black people” in and around his gated community. 10) Reasonable doubt: where, when, how?

11) And last, but certainly not least, if Mr. Zimmerman is innocent, why didn’t his attorneys put him on the stand to tell us his side of what happened on that fateful disastrous night.

I will now take my turn to speculate: Could putting Mr. Zimmerman on the stand then allow the prosecutors a chance to refute, piece by piece any and all claims of the spun scenario?

Mr. Zimmerman was stoic during the trial, no affect, no change of expression. Do you think he was instructed by his legal team not to move a muscle, express emotion or show any signs of remorse for what he did? Mr. Zimmerman will now have the rest of his life to wonder if what he did was right and just.

Trayvon’s Martin’s death has sparked a national discussion and that is a good thing. Maybe, just maybe, it will lead to a better understanding of those individuals who we perceive different from “us”.

Every member of Congress is responsible for our burden of debt To The Daily Sun, The current economic system is based upon a lie. “Our” economy and the world’s economy are based upon debt. An economy based upon debt, where people borrow to have gratification in realty is a system where people sell themselves into slavery. Debt is the money of slaves. It is absolutely ludicrous and an incredible lie that our individual viability and security, as well as the world’s economy can be based upon debt. It is lunacy to think, for “our” economy and the world’s economy to recover, banks must start lending and people MUST start borrowing! Debt is contrary to every biblical principle.

Look at what has happened and what is happening (right now) across the “Eurozone”. Did borrowing (and over spending) solve their problems?

Now, look at our debt. Check out www.usdebtclock.org. The real-time debt clocks are mind numbing. More important than all the debt clocks, is the ratio of the U.S. federal debt to our

Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The current Debt:GDP ratio is at 1.0666 (last year at this time it was 1.03866).

This is not good! Several countries in the Eurozone were getting in trouble when their ratio was around 1.04000.

By the way, each one of the U..S citizens is in debt to the tune of $50,137 (Last year it was $50,382.00).

Not doing anything is like entering a fairy tale. “I know they’re talking nonsense,” Alice thought to herself: “and it’s foolish to cry about it.” So she brushed away her tears, and went on as cheerfully as she could. (“Through the Looking Glass”, by Lewis Carroll).

We need to hold every member of Congress accountable for putting every future generation into debt.

Nobody wants to cut back the those “necessary” federal programs. Unfortunately, it appears that the decision it is going to be thrust upon my generation very soon! May God Bless America.

Officials confident drainage around new LHS stadium is capable of handling storms, no further work will be done

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Joint Building Committee Co-Chair Joe Cormier said last night at a School Board meeting that there will be no additional drainage piping work done at or around the new Bank of New Hampshire Stadium located behind the High School.

He said the school district got an engineering and construction estimate from the contractor overseeing the project and decided to reject the additional work because it is cost-prohibitive.

Cormier said he has every confidence the erosion problems that occurred during a deluge on July 7 won’t recur and the work to fix the damage and the drainage — some of which is still under construction, will be fixed by the engineers and contractors at their expense.

During the rain, storm water ran from Bobotas Field, which is located to the west of and above the stadium, and breached some of the drainage areas causing channeling and erosion. Bobotas Field was seeded and as of July 7 the grass had not grown to the depth needed to assist with storm water control.

The school district chose not to sod Bobotas Field because of the expense, saying also that seeded grass is better for drainage and absorption then sodded grass.

As for Jim Fitzgerald Field at the stadium, which is the field upon which the Sachems football team will play on this fall, discussions are still underway regarding the sub-surface that is made of a substance that assists with absorption that will drain water through the synthetic turf that SENATE from page 2 Republicans by delaying votes and Democrats by threatening once again to change the rules governing such delays.

Still, officials in both parties said they hoped the deal would signal a new, less acrimonious time for the Senate, with critical decisions ahead on spending, the government’s borrowing authority, student loan interest rates and more.

Under the agreement, several of seven stalled nominees would win confirmation later in the week, including Labor Secretary-designate Tom Perez; Gina McCarthy, named to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, and Fred Hochberg to head of the Export-Import Bank.

Even before the agreement was ratified by the rank and file, Cordray’s long-stalled nomination to head the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau advanced toward approval on a test vote of 71-29, far more than the 60 required.

Two nominees to the National Labor Relations Board, Richard Griffin and Sharon Clark, are to be replaced by new selections, submitted quickly by Obama and steered toward speedy consideration by Senate Republicans.

Obama installed Griffin and Clark in their posts by recess appointments in

has yet to be installed.

Cormier said that once the engineers have completed their analysis, the sub-field, which is apparently not in places as porus as it needs to be, will be fixed by contractors at no cost to the School District.

Emond said the rains left the project about two weeks behind but the recent good weather, albeit hot weather, has allowed crews to catch up some.

As to the summer facilities upgrades, Business Administrator Ed Emond told the board that all the floors in the elementary schools will be refinished, the former Culinary Arts Program space at the High School will be converted to office space for the Huot Technical Center’s dean of students, the High School vice-principal and the school resource officer.

The school store and the bank that are being built off the cafeteria will be completed by the beginning of school Emond said. Technically a part of the Huot Technical Center renovation project, the two projects are being funded with money earmarked for the Huot project.

He said the six new science labs in the High School are progressing nicely.Emond said all of the recommended security upgrades to all five city schools will be completed by the start of school or are already finished.

Most of them are in the elementary schools and the High School – the Middle School is near new and was built using relatively up-to-date security standards — and involve cameras, panic alarms, and additional locks.

The Harvard Street meeting room and the superintendent’s office have fresh coats of paint.

2011, bypassing the Senate but triggering a legal challenge. An appeals court recently said the two appointments were invalid, and the Supreme Court has agreed to review the case.

Republicans refused to confirm them, first because the Senate was bypassed, and later saying the nominations had been tainted by the court ruling.

In their places, Obama nominated Nancy Schiffer, a former top lawyer for the AFL-CIO, and Kent Hirozawa, counsel to NLRB Chairman Mark Pearce. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said their appointments would be reviewed and voted on in committee on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, and then come before the Senate for confirmation the following day.

Pearce, awaiting confirmation to a new term, is the seventh appointee at issue. His pick is relatively uncontroversial, and he is likely to be approved along with the replacements for Griffin and Clark, if not before. The NLRB appointments, if confirmed as expected, would prevent the virtual shutdown of the agency because of a lack of confirmed board members to rule on collective bargaining disputes between unions and companies.

“I think we get what we want, they get what they want. Not a bad deal,” said Reid.

Gordon Humphrey praises Snowden for ‘doing the right thing’

Police said a three car crash on Rte. 3 in Tilton on Tuesday afternoon resulted in two women being taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries. The accident happened right in front on the AutoServ dealership and employees of that company (right) were quickly on the scene to assist the people involved. (Chuck Cook photos)

Missed red light apparently cause of 3-car wreck on busy Rte. 3 in Tilton

TILTON — A three-car crash in front of the AutoServ dealership yesterday afternoon sent two people to the hospital by ambulance and snarled traffic along the busy Route 3 corridor.

Police said one woman was headed toward Tilton village on Route 3 and apparently failed to stop for a red light, striking a car exiting east with the light toward Laconia from the Market Basket parking lot on Sherwood Drive.

Eyewitness Chuck Cook said the car the apparently ran the red light hit the front of one car, which

then struck a second car traveling in the same direction. He said the front of the first car that was struck was torn off.

Cook said employees from AutoServ assisted the both of the women who were injured until police and firefighters could arrive.

Tilton Police said the two female drivers were taken by ambulance to area hospitals with what he described a non life-threatening injuries.

Police said the accident remains under investigation.

COED from page 2 July 25. She’s charged with witness tampering, hindering prosecution and conspiracy to hinder prosecution.

The body of 19-year-old Marriott of Westborough, Mass., has not been found.

Prosecutor Peter Hinckley declined to comment on the case Tuesday.

Mazzaglia, 30, has a July 31 scheduled appearance in the Rockingham court.

Mazzaglia says Marriott’s death was an accident during a night of consensual sex that also involved McDonough. He told investigators he and McDonough used Marriott’s car to take her body to Peirce Island in Portsmouth, where they threw it and her cellphone into the Piscataqua River.

RENTS from page one room units, effectively the highest the survey has reported in the last 23 years.

According to the 2010 census, 2,978 of the 6,838 housing units in Laconia that are occupied yearround, or 44-percent, were homes to 6,399 renters, who represented 40-percent of all residents.

Dan Smith of the NHHFA said that the rental market has been shaped by two recessions, the first in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the second beginning in 2008. In the late 1980s, speculative construction swelled the inventory of new homes, especially condominium units. When the market collapsed for lack of demand, the landscape was littered with unsold units, many of which were purchased by investors and thrown on to the rental market.

Rents plummeted. By 1992, the median gross monthly rent for all units touched $560 statewide and $476 in Laconia while the numbers for two bedroom units were $608 and $498 respectively. By 1996 rents began to recover and have risen steadily ever since, including through the recent recession. In Laconia, between 2003 and 2013, the median gross monthly rent has climbed 57 percent for all units and 52 percent for two-bedroom units.

Unlike the first recession, which left a glut of unsold housing units, Smith said that when the recent recession struck there was no excess supply of housing. He said that the loss of jobs and income forced significant numbers of homeowners into foreclosure, especially

those who purchased homes with mortgages beyond their means. Meanwhile, relatively few rental units were constructed after the prior recession because the low but rising rents would not support the costs of development. Consequently, Smith explained, as the number of unemployed and foreclosed rose, the demand for rental housing increased, sustaining the upward pressure on rents.

Smith anticipated little change in the rental market in the near future. He expected demand to remain constant as uncertainty about job prospects and tightening credit standards led many potential home buyers to prefer to rent. Likewise, college graduates burdened with student loan debt and foreclosed homeowners with poor credit scores are virtually driven to rent. If demand for rental units is unlikely to shrink, Smith doubted that with slow population growth and low household formation rates it was any more likely to rise significantly.

Without an appreciable rise in demand, he foresaw no significant increase in the stock of rental units and suggested any new construction would be aimed at the top of the rental market.

Rents, Smith expected, would continue to rise, perhaps in pace with inflation, which would likely increase the ranks of those paying more than 30 percent for housing, which he estimated at about 40 percent of renter households while allowing the share may be slightly higher in Laconia.

BOSTON (AP) — A former U.S. Republican senator from New Hampshire is praising Edward Snowden for “doing the right thing” in an email exchange with the former intelligence contractor who exposed secrets about U.S. government surveillance programs.

Gordon Humphrey, a two-term senator who left Capitol Hill in 1990, described Snowden as “a courageous whistleblower” in email correspondence published Tuesday by the Guardian newspaper.

“Provided you have not leaked information that would put in harms way any intelligence agent, I believe you have done the right thing in exposing what I regard as massive violation of the United States Constitution,” Humphrey, 72, wrote to Snowden this week.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Humphrey said he was not expecting the emails to be published. But now, he’s using the flurry of attention to rally public opinion — and other public officials — behind Snowden.

“I’m trying to rally former members of Congress,” he said Tuesday evening. “I just started today. It’s kind of slow going.”

Snowden has been charged with spying and theft of government property after releasing details about a broad U.S. intelligence program to monitor Internet and telephone activity to ferret out terror plots.

He has spent the past three weeks in the Moscow airport transit zone. On Tuesday, he submitted a request for temporary asylum in Russia, his lawyer said, claiming he faces persecution from the U.S. government and could face torture or death.

The Guardian also published Snowden’s personal response to Humphrey, which Humphrey later confirmed as accurate: “Thank you for your words of support,” Snowden wrote. “I only wish more of our lawmakers shared your principles — the actions I’ve taken would not have been necessary.”

GILBERT from page one she was a teenager she took the train every day from Laconia to Concord, where she attended Concord Business School, earning a degree in business in 1929. ‘’I really appreciated that diploma. I still have it on the wall of my room here at the County Home,’’ she says. ‘’It was a different time. But we had a lot of fun as a family.’’

Her daughters Marie Anne Mills of Laconia and Helen Nickel of Gilford and son Paul Gilbert of Ellington, Conn., attended the ceremony, along with many members of both the Morin and Gilbert families. ‘’Dad was one a family of 16,’’ said Nickel, who says that her parents were ‘’awesome people. There wasn’t anything we didn’t have. They provided a good education for all of us and were all that you could ask parents to be.’’

Mills says that her mother was especially proud of her Concord Business College degree. ‘’She earned it in a time in which not many women went to college.

Gilbert is only the third person to receive the Centennial Cane. Bob Dearborn, who had started the tradition, died in 1996 and it wasn’t until April of 2007 that the cane, which had been donated to the Laconia Historical & Museum Society, was rediscovered.

Last year it was presented to 101-year-old Doris Barnes, who was just a few months older than Gilbert. Barnes died in April.

Historical & Museum Society Director Brenda Polidoro presented Gilbert with a proclamation signed by the society’s president Ernie Bolduc which reiterated the society’s intent to carry on the tradition introduced by the Dearborns.

On an annual basis, the Society’s Centennial Cane Committee will search to identify the eldest member in the Laconia community and present the cane to them during the month of July. Although the Centennial Cane will be part of the presentation ceremony, the cane will actually be kept on display at the Laconia Public Library, where the Laconia Historical and Museum Society’s office is located.

HORSES from page one have been dreaming.

As it turns out, it’s likely Ricker wasn’t dreaming that day nor was she loosing her mind. One of her neighbors from across the street saw the same thing.

Fast forward two weeks and the horses were back eating food offered to them but unwilling to be captured and adept at avoid it.

For the past two days they have been seen repeatedly along White Oaks Road, eluding capture by being able to dart away when anyone went to grab them.

Fearing for the safety of the horses or motorists traveling along the roadway, the Rickers called the police — as did a number of their neighbors.

While police were trying to find the owners, last night the horses fell into an inadvertent trap and wandered into to one of Ricker’s neighbors’ outdoor dog pens. Safe behind fencing, police were called and said they have been able to locate the owner of the horses.

Sgt. Tom Swett said officers have been chasing the three horses on and off since Sunday. He said yesterday afternoon that while he personally hasn’t seen the animals, a few of his officers have. “We’ve been patrolling frequently on the road,� Swett said, agreeing with the Rickers and the neighbors that there are enough traffic accidents on White Oaks Road without adding three wandering horses to the mix.

Swett said there is a city ordinance regulating livestock trespass and though the ponies are in temporary custody in the dog pen, the owner could find him or herself in the doghouse.

On May 1, a few horses were photographed by a family that lives in Paugus Woods — a housing development off White Oaks Road that is about halfway down the road that runs from the Weirs Boulevard to Route 11-B in the Weirs.

It’s not known if they are the same horses.

OBITUARIES

Frances J. T. Mauch, 88 SANDWICH — Frances Julia Traum Mauch passed away on July 2, 2013 with the love of family and friends surrounding her, and her daughter at her side.

Frances was born in Wood-Ridge, NJ to Franz and Elizabeth (Zombary) Traum on March 16, 1925. She was proud to be a top graduate of the Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing in Newark, NJ. She worked as an OR nurse before having a long career as a high-school nurse in which she was a staunch advocate for teenagers.

Frances married Raymond Henry Mauch in October of 1948 in Rutherford, NJ. They moved to Paramus where they had three of their four children.

In 1959, after venturing to NH for a vacation, Ray and Fran bought a 60-acre farm in Center Sandwich, a decision which caused the neighbors in suburban Paramus to question their sanity. Nevertheless, they packed up their three small children and dalmatian and headed north, proving through trial, error, perseverance, and determination that anything is possible. They were integral and devoted members of the Sandwich community for 54 years.

Frances was nurse for many summers at Camp Hale on Squam Lake, and later the school nurse of Inter-Lakes High School in Meredith for 30+ years, retiring at the age of 70, only to accept a position three months later at the newly formed Community School of Tamworth. She worked there until she was 80, saying, when asked why she was retiring so young, “It’s better to leave while they still think you’re good at your job than be asked to go!”

Fran deeply loved her community, and gave to it in many ways. She was a founding member of the Sandwich Caregivers and the Friends of Library, was a proud member of PEO, a Red Cross nurse, an active and devoted member of the Federated Church of Sandwich, and served on many local boards and community volunteer and church organizations, the list too long to include.

In every way, Fran upheld the advice she so frequently gave her students: “Make good use of the space you take up in this world.” She lived her life with vivacity, conviction and a deep compassion for others, and left long loving threads woven through the many hearts she touched. She was indeed Frantastic!

Frances is predeceased by her husband of 63 years, Raymond and her loving son, Daniel. She is survived by her son Raymond “Skipp” Mauch, Jr. of Lochmere, NH; her daughter Nancy Mauch Hosmer of Camden, ME and Brewster, MA; her son Matthew Mauch of Nashville, TN; as well as eight grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and a loving extended family.

She was proud of them all and has left them with a legacy of love and her resolute spirit.

A memorial service will be held on September 14th at 10:30am at the Federated Church of Sandwich and a community Celebration of Life at 5:30pm at the Craft Building on the Sandwich Fairgrounds.

Donations in her memory may be made to the Federated Church of Sandwich, PO Box 267, Center Sandwich, NH 03227.

CENTER HARBOR — Robert Francis Halloran, age 94 died peacefully at Mt. Auburn Hospital Sunday, July 14, 2013.

He was the husband of the late Barbara (Ballantine) Halloran.

Bob was born in Northampton, Mass. on July 9, 1919, the son of John F. and Mary (Duffy) Halloran.

He attended Northampton schools graduating from Northampton High School in 1936. He then attended and graduated from the University of Massachusetts where he studied both Economics and Mathematics. While there he joined the ROTC program and following graduation enlisted in the Army Air Corps. During WWII he was a fighter pilot in the European, African and Middle Eastern campaigns.

He earned the Air Medal and Presidential Citation.

An honor of which he was most proud. During his time in the United States Service, he married Barbara Ballantine in Sumpter, South Carolina where she was a USO hostess.

Upon their return Massachusetts they first settled in Hingham, then moved to Cohasset and finally in 1953 they settled in Concord.

Bob began his career in sales with the Thrifty Check Co. then he joined the staff at Marine Midland Bank where he worked as a supervisor in the Check Franking Department. He then worked for New England Merchants Bank until he joined the executive team that organized and created Baybanks. His leadership and foresight was instrumental in the success and market share of Baybank New England.

During his time in banking, he formed the Author’s

Ridge Realty Trust Co. and developed the Ridge Road area of Concord as well as other residential developments. His properties were regarded and respected as well constructed “stick-built” residential homes for families to enjoy for years to come.

A long time member of the Concord Country Club, Bob enjoyed playing tennis, golf and socializing with many other local members, business associates and residents. He also enjoyed many fun filled summers and vacations with his family in their Center Harbor, NH home.

He is survived by his children, Stephen J. and wife Linda of NH, David H. and wife Helen of Acton, Cathy Lepage and husband Michael of Princeton. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Crystal Feeley, Corey S., Amy S., and Caroline J. Halloran, his great-grandson Cullen as well as his sisters Mary Caldwell and Donna Malin. He was also the father of the late Mark R. Halloran and Michael R. Halloran.

Visiting Hours, Friday, July 19 from 9:00-11:00 am in the Concord Funeral Home, 74 Belknap St., Concord. Funeral Service will follow at 11:00 a.m. in the funeral home. Interment with full U.S. Army Air Corp. Military Honors will conclude at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord.

Concord’s town flag will fly at half staff on Friday in honor of Mr. Halloran’s service to his country during WWII. Arrangements under the care of David H. Halloran, type 6 Funeral Director, CONCORD FUNERAL HOME, Concord. To share a memory or offer a condolence visit: www.concordfuneral.com

Moving made easier for seniors Helpful tips for downsizing

I

“

’ve worked with hundreds of seniors over the years who were downsizing and I’ve heard the process described as challenging, overwhelming, exhausting, and paralyzing”, said Paul Charlton, marketing director at Taylor Community. “We’re seeing a steep increase in the number of seniors moving here now so it made sense to share some information about downsizing. “It wasn’t until Charlton and his wife themselves downsized that he gained a fuller appreciation for the challenge.

“In going through the basement, shed and garage I discovered that I owned nine hammers (my wife thought that was excessive). And that’s just one example of what we discovered. We were simply amazed the more we looked just

how much stuff we had accumulated over the years”.

Anyone downsizing understands that the process involves sorting through many belongings, deciding which to keep, and figuring out what to do with the rest.

Experts point out that downsizing like any move is not only a physical challenge, but a mental and emotional one as well.

A change of address is a change of mindset and the first step in preparing for a later life move is psychological preparation.

Moving can be stressful but it doesn’t have to be. The key to an easier move is proper preparation and to ask for and accept help.

The following tips and information can help with the transition.

Understand this is not just another move where you packed up your belongings and simply moved them to a new location. A later life move is about starting to leave a legacy of your life by letting go of some of your belong-

“

It’s never too early to start. Start small so that your downsizing isn’t an overwhelming process, especially when transitioning from a house you’ve lived in for many years.”

Move It, Use It – Keys to Successful Aging

If you pay attention to the news about how to keep your body and brain healthy through the aging process, you will see articles time and again about the many benefits of regular physical activity. Everything is about movement.

2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans are set for at least 150 minutes (that’s two and a half hours) of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes (one and a quarter hours) of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week.

Plus, moderate or high-intensity muscle-strengthening activity involving all major muscle groups on two or more days per week.

The good news is that they don’t specify what activity – you get to choose what is best and most fun for you. All they say is get moving!

People ages 50 – 75 years, may show symptoms that may be attributed to aging that are often a result of sedentary living. Exercising modestly and regularly can not only substantially lower the risk of death from coronary artery disease, colon cancer and complications of diabetes, but also make it considerably easier to perform the many tasks of daily life as well as to participate in recreational activities.

Further, increased

physical activity can reduce those effects of aging that lead to functional declines and poor health.

In older adults, aerobic training leads to the same 10-30% increase in cardiovascular function seen in younger people. 1.

But like many other things in life, it is more fun when done with a buddy. It is easier to exercise when you are meeting someone to do it with. You can encourage one another, challenge one another to try something new and most important, you show up so you don’t disappoint your friend. At the end of your workout you reward each other with a cold beverage and a good chat. Now that is fun.

One of the cool things about living in a friendly neighborhood like Wesley Woods is that you will find a friend who will share this experience with you and be grateful to have the buddy system for themselves as well. Additionally, there is often a fitness program that allows one to exercise in a group, making it more fun and challenging than exercising alone.

There are community gardens that need to be tended to – fresh air and sunshine with a friend is a great bonus. Of course, if you are highly self-motivated and prefer your solitary walks or hikes, there

2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans are set for at least 150 minutes (that’s two and a half hours) of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes (one and a quarter hours) of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week. are certainly plenty of options for that in the lovely Lakes Region of New Hampshire.

Your movement may be as simple as walking to a friend’s house for tea, taking the stairs to your doctor’s appointment instead of the elevator and playing actively with your grandkids. Other easy things to do are leg lifts while reading or watching TV, toe taps while on the computer, or heel raises while

brushing your teeth. The goal is to look for ways all day long to be active rather than sedentary.

Either way – be sure to get up and move! Better yet, get out and move! Your body and mind will be grateful for years to come.

ings and passing them along to a family member or friend who will cherish them also. This move will give you the opportunity to let go of belongings that you don’t need and don’t use. At this time in your life, you want fewer things to take care of, so you can focus on your health, well being and living life to the fullest.

Acknowledge fears, losses and changes related to leaving your home but leave room for feeling excited about your new beginning.

Even though there may be feelings of sadness, be open to the joy and comfort your new home will bring. There will be new friends, new hobbies and activities and exciting opportunities to discover around the corner.

It’s never too early to start. Start small so that your downsizing isn’t an overwhelming process, especially when transitioning from a house you’ve lived in for many years. Start with a drawer, shelf or closet. Setting small goals to accomplish will help you feel like you are making progress. Clean up the area you’re working in. By working with a garbage bag and discarding items as you go you will see immediate results.

Become as familiar as you can with your new home by visiting several times before you make the move. This will give you the opportunity to not only become familiar with your new surroundings but will give you the chance to start meeting new friends and help you get excited about your new home.

Get rid of things! Whether you sell it, donate it, give it to your children, or take it to the dump, don’t bring along things you won’t

want or need. Ask yourself these questions as you consider what to do with each item: When did I last use it or wear it? Some advisors will say if it’s more than a year, get rid of it. But if you’re not comfortable with that rule of thumb, double it to two years and you will still find that you are getting rid of many, many things.

How often do I use it? Less than once per year and you can probably safely get rid of it and never regret it.

Can I get by without it? Here’s where you want to look closely at quantity and only keep what you’ll need. Perhaps you don’t need 8 pie plates and two will be plenty.

Downsizing means you own and move less than nine hammers!

Do I need it in my new home?

If you’re moving to a retirement community where all the interior and exterior maintenance is taken care of, you can and should really part ways with many belongingslawnmowers, snow blower, ladders, and a lot more.

Does it hold sentimental value?

There’s nothing wrong with keeping things because they mean something to you. The caution here would be to avoid assigning everything a sentimental value simply because it represents a time and experience you remember. Just because the shot glasses from Niagara Falls were from your 10th wedding anniversary, it doesn’t mean you should keep them.

Do you love it? If the answer to this question is “yes” then bring it with you.

Ask for and accept help. Perhaps the biggest mistake seniors make in undertaking a move is trying to do everything themselves. “It’s

very common to see seniors doing everything themselves, because they can” notes Paul from Taylor.

“I suggest looking at it differently and taking the approach, just because I can do it myself, it doesn’t mean I have to”. Charlton recommends getting help from the following resources: Family and friends- They want to help and they’re usually free.

Published information- Much of the information in this article was excerpted from a free guide published by Taylor Community.

And of course the internet has a wealth of advice and information.

Try searching on “downsizing seniors” and you’ll come up with extensive sources offering free and helpful information.

Retirement Communities- Paul Charlton at Taylor reports that it is very common for seniors moving to Taylor to come to him with myriad questions about the move. Charlton said, “Like anything else when you’ve done something many times you learn a lot along the way and so we’re more than happy to help in whatever way we can”.

Hire a senior move managerMany people have no idea such a profession exists. In fact, there is a National Association of Senior Move Managers who recently reported that their membership has grown tenfold since 2006!

That’s a lot of seniors downsizing. Their services vary and can include any or all of the following: Preparing and planning for the move, coordination of moving day activities, house clearing and closure, arrange for packing and moving services, and more.

Mariluz Flanders is a local senior move manager and owner of Tailored Transitions.

“The

name of the business comes from the fact that I tailor each and every move to the individual wishes and wants of the seniors I’m working with”, Flanders said.

“I can provide minimal assistance in just one or two aspects of the move or I can literally take care of everything from soup to nuts”.

Regardless of how extensive her involvement, all of the decisions and control remains with the seniors who are moving.

Most seniors have moved many times in their lives so making a move is not a new experience. Yet downsizing and moving to a retirement community represent new and different experiences that can be made much easier by listening to and learning from others with more experience.

Your brain on good nutrition: Tips for healthy mealtimes

A proper diet can protect against dementia

(Lakes Region –July 2013) – Good nutrition is beneficial at any age. Benefits worth noting are increased mental acuteness, resistance to illness/disease, higher energy levels, a more robust immune system, faster recuperation times and better management of chronic health problems. Now, however, proper nutrition for older Jennifer Harvey, adults is even more important, RN, BSN, CHP with research revealing that poor nutritional decisions can eventually lead to cognitive decline and the proper low-fat, high nutrient dementia. foods their bodies require.

LIVE FREE HOME HEALTH “With older adults, a healthy diet CARE knows how challenging it will emphasize nutrient-dense food can be for seniors to maintain a choices and the importance of fluid healthy diet, in part because of the balance,” said Jennifer Harvey, RN difficulties with cooking for one or BSN, Clinical Director and owner two persons, transportation diffiof LIVE FREE HOME HEALTH WW_Special_LaconiaDSinsert_ad_WW_Special_LaconiaDSinsert_ad 1:46 PM Page 1 intake culties, problems standing for long CARE. 1/17/13 “Appropriate fluid periods of time to cook, and even is often overlooked or goes unnoloneliness, which can take the joy ticed, because as we age, there can out of mealtimes. Because caloric be a disassociation between how needs change with aging and less hydrated our bodies are and how activity, another issue is the possithirsty we feel.” bility that seniors are not receiving Nutrient-dense foods are high in

nutrients in relation to the calories they contain. For example, low-fat milk is more nutrient-dense than whole milk. Although the low-fat milk’s nutrient content is the same as the whole milk, the low-fat milk has fewer calories and would be the more appropriate choice for an older adult. Reducing the overall fat content in the diet, while still choosing nutrient-rich foods is the best way for the older adult to reach optimum nutrition and help protect against dementia and cognitive decline.

Specific research points to the antioxidant vitamins C and E as being particularly beneficial in protecting against Alzheimer’s disease. Vitamin E is primarily found in vegetable and nut oils, as well as in spinach and whole grain products. Vitamin C-rich foods include citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruits, as well as tomatoes, spinach and red peppers.

Keep in mind that nutrients are most beneficial when provided by actual foods rather than supplements; however, this sometimes proves difficult with an older adult because of decreased calorie needs.

A health care professional should be consulted when considering vitamin supplements.

In addition to antioxidants, consuming a low-fat/low cholesterol

diet can help to prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. High fat diets are thought to impair learning and memory performance, and elevated blood cholesterol can triple a person’s risk for developing the disease. High cholesterol foods such as animal products (meat and dairy), butter and cooking oils and fried foods, should be minimized to no more than 300mg of cholesterol a day as recommended by the American Heart Association.

Preliminary studies have also shown a connection between omega-3 fatty acids and a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Omega-3 fatty acids, found most prevalently in fish, provide antiinflammatory properties, which are thought to increase memory and learning performance. Fish high in omega-3 fatty acids include mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, and salmon.

The true challenge may lie in encouraging a frail elder to eat when he or she suffers from poor appetite. Oftentimes, medications or treatable disorders such as heartburn, constipation or nausea can cause poor appetite. Meal times for a frail elder can also be lonely or depressing if a life partner has recently passed away.

Some tips to encourage a person at mealtimes include:

Just Getting Started Take a hike. Climb a mountain. Canoe, bike, swim. Summer in the Lakes Region. Travel south for the winter.

Life beckons. Yet, it’s not easy to do when saddled-down with household chores, maintenance and upkeep.

- Ask the reason why the person does not want to eat (not hungry, the food is cold, food doesn’t taste good, etc.)

- Serve small, frequent meals rather than three larger meals - Serve beverages after a meal so a person doesn’t feel full before eating the meal - Bring the joy back to mealtimes with colorful foods and a variety of textures - Set an attractive table with food garnishes, placemats, flowers and perhaps music in the background - Consider finger foods that are easy to handle or use adaptive equipment such as silverware with specially designed handles for those who have difficulty using utensils Ensuring that a loved one is eating enough nutritious foods and drinking enough fluids is a challenge, but it is important to remember to treat the person as an adult, not a child. Also consider hiring a home care agency for assistance with trips to the grocery store, planning and preparation of meals, and companionship during mealtimes.

take on the issues that can’t be solved in a day and will make a significant dent in them, too.

At this rate, you’ll have one less problem by the end of the week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Knowing yourself and your views may actually help you to be more open to other perspectives. Having already articulated your view, you won’t feel the pressure to do so. You can just sit back and listen.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You inhabit your own body with authority. You’ll handle today’s situation with the same confidence, managing the moving parts and guiding the action in the way that best suits you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 17). Economic and intellectual growth happen in the next six weeks. A professional breakthrough may come disguised as a failed effort that leads to better prospects in September. A new relationship brings both tenderness and excitement.

Romantic interludes in February and May are followed by practical decisions. Aquarius and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 22, 1, 40 and 9.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Pessimists and optimists can’t agree on what constitutes emptiness and fullness. Artists, mathematicians and scientists can’t agree on it, either.

Maybe it’s something you have to decide for yourself. Today you will.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A physical snapshot captures an image. A mental snapshot captures information. You will take a snapshot with your heart today and capture the entire feeling of a relationship.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll find beauty in humble scenes where nothing much is happening. What you see will entrance you.

If you can get others to be quiet and observant with you, they will be equally delighted.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re a calming influence on those who struggle to handle their anger. Your positive way of dealing with them will defuse a situation. You could get paid for your skill in this area.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The day is marked by a sense of anticipation. You feel like you are in between moments, on the brink of transformation. You’re hopeful for the change to come, but you also realize that it’s not entirely under your control.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t need an angel to call you to freedom; you only need to realize that you already are free. The truth is that the limits by which you were most bound were self-created.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In regard to a person, place or activity, you may have the feeling you are falling in love. How do you know? There is music to accompany your fall, even when it is silent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have a true appreciation for all that is taking place in your world today, and you may have to explain the action to another person. You’ll delight in spelling out the intricacies of complicated things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be mingling. The appropriate question to ask may not be obvious to you. Find out about people’s connection to the event. Small talk will lead to big talk.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 17, 2013

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, July 17, the 198th day of 2013. There are 167 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 17, 1918, Russia’s Czar Nicholas II and his family were executed by the Bolsheviks.

On this date: In 1763, American entrepreneur John Jacob Astor was born in Walldorf in present-day Germany.

In 1862, during the Civil War, Congress approved the Second Confiscation Act, which declared that all slaves taking refuge behind Union lines were to be set free.

In 1936, the Spanish Civil War began as rightwing army generals launched a coup attempt against the Second Spanish Republic.

In 1938, aviator Douglas Corrigan took off from New York, saying he was headed for California; he ended up in Ireland, supposedly by accident, earning the nickname “Wrong Way Corrigan.”

In 1944, during World War II, 320 men, twothirds of them African-Americans, were killed when a pair of ammunition ships exploded at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in California.

In 1955, Disneyland had its opening day in Anaheim, Calif.

In 1962, the United States conducted its last atmospheric nuclear test to date, detonating a 20-kiloton device, code-named Little Feller I, at the Nevada Test Site.

In 1975, an Apollo spaceship docked with a Soyuz spacecraft in orbit in the first superpower link-up of its kind.

In 1981, 114 people were killed when a pair of suspended walkways above the lobby of the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel collapsed during a tea dance.

In 1996, TWA Flight 800, a Europe-bound Boeing 747, exploded and crashed off Long Island, N.Y., shortly after leaving John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all 230 people aboard.

In 1998, Nicholas II, last of the Romanov czars, was formally buried in Russia 80 years after he and his family were slain by the Bolsheviks.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair forcefully defended their decision to topple Saddam Hussein during a joint White House news conference.

In a speech to the U.S. Congress, Blair said even if they were proven wrong about Iraq’s weapons capabilities, “We will have destroyed a threat that at its least is responsible for inhuman carnage and suffering.”

Five years ago: The FDA lifted its salmonella warning on tomatoes amid signs the record outbreak, while not over, might finally be slowing.

President George W. Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki held a secure video conference during which they agreed to set a “general time horizon” for bringing more U.S. troops home from the Iraq war.

One year ago: Testifying before the Senate Banking Committee, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke painted a dark picture of where the U.S. economy was headed if Congress failed to reach agreement soon to avert a budget crisis.

Israel plunged toward a political crisis after the largest party in the government quit, leaving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in charge of a hard-line coalition opposed to most Mideast peace moves.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am the grandmother of nine beautiful little grandchildren. Two granddaughters live with their mother and spend weekends with their father, who remarried, and he and his wife are currently residing with me.

Here’s the problem: The younger child, who is 5, was petite until recently. Then her mother and stepmother began forcing this little girl to eat more, or she is punished.

She is a picky eater and has been known to throw fits about eating, but no child should be forced to eat portions that are so big. She has gained 18 pounds in the past five months.

I understand the parents’ frustrations. But she’s a tiny child and should be served smaller portions of food. I also am a firm believer that force-feeding will lead to an eating disorder that could haunt her for the rest of her life.

I am very worried about her. I’ve seen her forced to eat a grilled hot dog, which she’s not fond of, only to throw it up shortly afterward and then not be allowed to eat anything else. They say she was “putting on an act” so Grandma and Grandpa would feel sorry for her. But, Annie, this sudden weight gain cannot be a good thing. She is sick a lot, and I think this is affecting her overall health.

I admit I’m an overprotective grandma, but my kids were picky eaters when they were young. My wise pediatrician said, “Give them a vitamin every day and let it go.

You cause more problems by forcing them to eat. Trust me, they won’t starve to death. They’ll eat when they need to.”

And they did.

I will do whatever you say, but it’s getting more and more difficult to keep my mouth shut. -- Worried Grandma in Illinois Dear Worried: Forcing a child to eat until she throws up or gains 18 pounds in five months could be construed

as child abuse. We know her parents think she needs to eat more, but this is completely misguided. Not all children eat the same way, nor should they, and force-feeding a 5-year-old is harmful, both physically and psychologically. Please speak to your son. Ask him to talk to the pediatrician about this immediately.

Dear Annie: A few years ago, my wife and I retired and moved to a new home. We are friendly, helpful and generous, especially with good food and hospitality. But our neighbors have never reciprocated with so much as a cookie, and we have never been invited to their homes.

We all get along well enough, but I have asked my wife not to make extra dishes for them any longer. I’m disappointed with the manners of younger folks who don’t seem to understand reciprocity. -- Southern Golden Oldie Dear Southern: Some people are reluctant to entertain in their homes, but you certainly do not have to keep putting forth the effort if there is no reciprocity of any kind.

There’s no point in being resentful. You can have a perfectly cordial relationship with these neighbors without baking pies and inviting them for coffee.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Midwest Cook” and others who wrote about children who are picky eaters and don’t have the manners to say “no, thank you” when offered food they don’t like.

My clever daughter-in-law taught my grandchildren to say, “Those Brussels sprouts look delicious. I’m sorry I can’t eat them, but I’m allergic.” Of course, a few nights later, when served scalloped potatoes, my grandson said (with a glint in his eye), “Those look delicious, but I’m allergic to potatoes unless they’re French fried.” -- There’s Always a Solution

Kiwanis Club of Laconia reviving Roger’s Ride LACONIA — The Kiwanis club of Laconia is bringing back a motorcycle ride that ran for 3 years in honor of former Kiwanis President Roger Ballantyne, and successfully raised $12,000 for local and national charities.

Roger Ballantyne passed away as a result of kidney cancer, and his wife Betty, along with family, neighbors and friends, started the ride in his honor.

After a one-year hiatus, it is being brought back with a fund-raising goal of $5,000 all for the Kiwanis Club Charity Fund. The date of the ride is Sunday, August 25, beginning and ending at Rotary Park.

The ride will feature a beautiful 75-mile course, riders will be greeted with coffee and a light breakfast snack, and ends with a BBQ picnic at the park.

Kevin Halligan of the Village Bakery and Laconia Local Eatery will be preparing the food.

The Kiwanis Club has a long history of supporting children-related charities in the Lakes Region,
