Police say Gilford man was working toward drug mix that would take users right to the edge of OD cliff BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Gilford Police Detective Christopher Jacques said yesterday that the man arrested by police Tuesday at his Old Lake Shore Road residence was combining various drugs in pill forms for resale. In arguing in circuit court for $50,000 cash-only bail, Jacques said Mark D. Hebert Jr., 32, of 343 Old Lakeshore Road
# 34 kept logs and notes about the various combinations he tried on himself and noted on at least one occasion he suffered a seizure after one of his experiments. “His goal was to ultimately design a pill to take to be just short of an OD (overdose),” Jacques said, noting Hebert warned the undercover officer to whom he allegedly sold some peyote, mescaline, amphetamines, and marijuana that giving a
particular combination to a small female could cause an overdose. Cash bail was eventually set at $25,000. Hebert and his girlfriend, Lenor Jones, 32, also of the same address were arrested by police Tuesday and charged with a variety of drug sales and incidents related to drug sales. Jacques told Judge Jim Carroll of the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division see DRUG MIX page 12

Mom who glued toddler’s hands together says she’s not a monster
DALLAS (AP) — A mother who admitted to beating her 2-yearold daughter and gluing the child’s hands made a plea for leniency Wednesday, saying she was no longer the “monster” who committed the attack. “I will never forgive myself for what I did to my own daughter,” said Elizabeth Escalona, who pleaded guilty in July to felony injury to a child. Police say Escalona lost her temper last year with Jocelyn Cedillo over potty training problems. Escalona beat and kicked Jocelyn before sticking her hands to an apartment wall using an adhesive commonly known as Super Glue. The child was hospitalized for days. Judge Larry Mitchell has a wide range in choosing Escalona’s sentence: Anything from probation to life in prison is possible. Prosecutors are asking for a 45-year sentence. Defense attorney Angie N’Duka asked Escalona what she thought of photos that prosecutors presented see GLUE page 9

11 ex-teammates testified against Armstrong in doping case (AP) — Lance Armstrong said he wanted to see the names of his accusers. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency gave him 26, including 11 ex-teammates. The world’s most famous cyclist said he wanted to see the hard evidence that he was a doper. The agency gave him that, too: About 200 pages filled with vivid details — from the hotel rooms riders transformed into makeshift blood-transfusion centers to the way Armstrong’s ex-wife rolled cortisone pills into foil and handed them out to all the cyclists. In all, a USADA report released Wednes-
day gives the most detailed, unflinching portrayal yet of Armstrong as a man who, day after day, week after week, year after year, spared no expense — financially, emotionally or physically — to win the seven Tour de France titles that the anti-doping agency has ordered taken away. It presents as matter-of-fact reality that winning and doping went hand-in-hand in cycling and that Armstrong was the focal point of a big operation, running teams that were the best at getting it done without getting caught. Armstrong won the Tour as leader of the U.S. Postal Service
team from 1999-2004 and again in 2005 with the Discovery Channel as the primary sponsor. USADA said the path Armstrong chose to pursue his goals “ran far outside the rules.” It accuses him of depending on performance-enhancing drugs to fuel his victories and “more ruthlessly, to expect and to require that his teammates” do the same. Among the 11 former teammates who testified against Armstrong are George Hincapie, Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis. see ARMSTRONG page 14
WASHINGTON (AP) — To prepare for his biggest test yet on the national stage, untested debater Paul Ryan has been hauling two thick briefing books around the country and intently studying up on Vice President Joe Biden, who has been sparring over public policy since the Wisconsin congressman was learning how to talk. Ryan, the 42-year-old Republican vice presidential nominee, has suggested his
youth will be an asset in connecting with voters at the sole vice presidential debate Thursday in Kentucky against the 69-yearold former senator. But risks abound for the GOP rising star, who hasn’t participated in a campaign debate since his first run for office 14 years ago. The main goal for Ryan’s inner-circle: get him comfortable answering questions in broad terms that connect with voters and
avoid the wonky, in-the-weeds answers more appropriate for a budget hearing than a living room. Ryan’s team wants to keep him talking about positive changes a Romney-Ryan administration would mean for the country, not a full-throated defense of the campaign’s sometimes nebulous math.

CONWAY (AP) — A school bus stop in Conway, N.H., has been temporarily relocated due to the appearance of a 300pound black bear. Conway police told WMWV radio that the bear was first spotted Tuesday morn-
ing sitting about 60 feet up a pine tree. Police guarded the stop Wednesday morning while students waited for their bus, and the stop has been moved to another area while officers figure out how to safely trap and transfer the bear.
New Hampshire Fish and Game conservation officers are working with a state wildlife biologist on how best to accomplish that. In the meantime, police say the bear looks very comfortable and isn’t bothering anyone.

Gaspé Peninsula City Council facing menu of parking issues Anticosti Island By Michael Kitch
LACONIA — The City Council this week accepted a suggestion by Charlie St. Clair, owner of the Laconia Antiques Center, to delineate a loading zone on Main Street but deferred decisions on proposals to reserve areas downtown for motorcycle parking, designate all spaces on New Salem Street for all-day parking and prohibit on-street parking on Harvard Street. St. Clair presented a proposal to the Public Works Committee to create a loading zone on the east side of Main Street immediately north of its intersection with Hanover Street, where there is a pedestrian crosswalk. Paul Moynihan, Director of Public Works, told the committee that since loading zones and parking spaces should be at least 20 feet from a pedestrian crossing, the first parking space above the intersection would have to be eliminated to create the loading zone. However, he said that by moving the remaining spaces northward, the foregone space could be recovered. St. Clair also suggested that areas on along Main Street and Pleasant Street currently painted with hashmarks could be designated for motorcycle parking only. John Moriarity, one of the owners of 600 Main Street speaking for the Main Street Initiative, endorsed the proposal. However, he asked that the area adjacent to the pedestrian crosswalk in front of the building be excepted, explaining that there are
plans to landscape the space. Since Lakes Region Community Services Council, with more than 300 full and part-time employees, moved to the Federal Building on North Main Street, at least two parking issues have arisen. This summer Emily Gallant, owner of SunDay’s Salon & Spa, said that the influx of employees has left insufficient all-day parking spaces for those working for other businesses. City Manager Scott Myers, who has been monitoring downtown parking since hearing from Gallant, has proposed designating all the spaces on New Salem Street behind the railroad station as all-day parking. Altogether there are 38 vertical spaces, including two handicapped spaces, on the east side of the street, half of which are currently restricted to two hours. More recently, Councilor Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) has heard from residents of Harvard Street that vehicles parked on both sides of their street have pre-empted spaces for visitors and deliveries while obscuring lines of sight. He said that residents are especially concerned that parked vehicles will hinder the plowing of the street and driveways in winter. Bolduc said residents have asked to ban parking on both sides of the street. The council agreed to schedule a public hearing on proposals to amend the parking restrictions on New Salem Street and consider introducing restrictions on Harvard Street.
DEBATE from page 2 writer, aides say Ryan is confident he can handle questions about federal spending and taxes. He is a bit more nervous on international affairs — and for good reason. Ryan was thrust into the national spotlight a few months ago when he joined the Republican ticket but has limited exposure in that arena. Biden is a former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a skilled debater, both within the administration and against its critics, and someone whose opinion President Barack
Obama seeks out on major decisions. Ryan also is bracing for Biden to try to help Obama overcome a rough patch by staking out an aggressive tone. “I really think that because they had such a bad debate that Joe is just going to come flying at us,” Ryan said this week. His biggest worry: looking unprepared the way his mentor and former boss, Jack Kemp, did in the 1996 debate against Vice President Al Gore. see next page
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
I’m back from my hunting adventure, spent with my Mrs., at Anticosti Island in the Province of Quebec Canada. It was quite an experience and one I won’t soon forget. We drove eleven hours north through Vermont, and after clearing customs, spent Saturday evening in the hotel on the Gaspe’ Peninsula. Our plan was to depart the next morning from the Mont-Jolie Airfield, destination; Anticosti Island. Instead, we spent the entire day waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more. Finally, the Company Representative informed us that due to heavy fog on the airfield and on the island, we would not be departing until the following day. All was not lost, we located a television at the airport, retrieved some wine from one of our packs, and watched the Patriots beat the Bills. The next day, very late in the morning, we left for our “white knuckle” flight to the island. It was a bit breezy up there, to say the least, and the plane ride felt more like a rollercoaster ride. After landing I asked my wife how she felt, and she gave me “the look”, no words, just, “the look”. We shook off the plane ride, grabbed our bags and headed off to find our camp about 30 miles Northwest of the Airfield. We stayed in Cabin #3, located on Lac-Genevieve’. The air was as crisp as an autumn apple, coupled with the magnificent foliage, it felt like heaven on earth. “Lesson Learned” In all the beauty of the Island and the positive experience of having Lorraine with me, “you are never an island to yourself”(no pun intended). Generally in the morning, or after the day’s hunt, we would all gather to eat in the dining facility at the camp. It was during one of these meals that I was fortunate to meet Curt and Frank, two elderly gentlemen in their seventies. These fellas were from Western Mass., and this hunt was both a blessing and a challenge for each of them. Let me explain. Frank’s wife will have to have her leg amputated in the near future because of severe diabetes. Curt’s wife has Alzheimer’s and he explained to me that all she does is watch television all day long and rarely moves from one spot. They learned from one of my clients, in our group, that I was a financial advisor and retirement planner. They were cautious not to talk business but you could tell they wanted to discuss their respective situations. I thought about it and realized that real people have real problems and that sometimes, “life is about knowing when to talk and when to listen”. I sat with them and listened to their heartfelt concerns for the two people that meant the world to them. I listened intently, it seemed cathartic for them to be able to vent and talk about how much they loved their wives and that life was changing for them. I felt the only thing I could do was simply ask questions about their families and their lives. It was very different for me to appreciate what they were going through, partly because I’m 51 and I really didn’t know them all that well, except that we have all served in the military. What I gained from my trip was that it doesn’t matter who you are in this world, we are all just trying to make our way. One of my good friends once told me, “Dave, life is a collection of experiences and you do the best you can and learn from others.” I learned that being emotionally available to people around me, not only helps them, but also helps me. So I’m back at DAK Financial Group LLC, and grateful to be home here in the Lakes Region and to see all my friends and clients. Be well my friends. Sorry I bought the cold weather back with me but it’s fall in NE so it will have to be brought. Dave Kutcher is a contributing writer for FOX Business News!

Gilmanton sex offender facing additional charges, this time related to disabled adult By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — A Gilmanton man who pleaded guilty in 2011 to a misdemeanor sexual assault that occurred in 2007 appeared by video camera in district court yesterday after allegedly admitting to assaulting a second victim during a mandatory lie detector test that part of his probation. According to attorney Robert Hemeon, Roger Toutaint, 54, of 31 Leatherstocking Lane was following the conditions of his parole for sexually touching a minor female in 2007 when an answer he gave aroused suspicion. Hemeon said the actions alleged in yesterday’s complaint occurred during the same period as his previous assault and Toutaint had been meeting all of the conditions of his sexual offender program. He also said Toutaint was already preparing to move to his brother’s home in Laconia and would not be near the alleged victim. “I don’t believe he’s a risk,” said Hemeon. “The police are of a totally different opinion,” said Belmont Police Offi-
cer Joel Pickowicz who represented the Gilmanton Police for Toutaint’s appearance. Affidavits prepared by Gilmanton Police said the most recent accusations involve a male victim who is developmentally disabled, confined to a wheelchair and, in 2006 and 2007, was left in Toutaint’s care. The sexual activities alleged are extremely graphic. Tourtaint is said to have detailed his assault on the disabled man during a followup interview with police. Judge Jim Carroll of the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division ruled there was porbable cause for the arrest but said he would “take exception to this one” as to cash bail. He ruled that Toutaint could be released on $200,000 personal recognizance bail on the conditions that he live at 289 Hillcrest Drive in Laconia, that he not enter the town of Gilmanton, that he obey a curfew, and continue to comply with the probation department. He must also continue his treatment in the sexual offender program and stay away from the alleged victim.
Marshals arrest fugitive in Tilton
CONCORD — The United States Marshals Fugitive Task Force arrested 52-year-old Hon Luu of no fixed address in Tilton yesterday. Luu was wanted on a warrant issued by the Concord Police Department for the sale of a controlled narcotic drug, crack cocaine. Luu was arrested without incident on Wednesday morning by members of the Tilton Police Department and Merrimack County Sheriff’s Department at 263 Laconia Road (Rte. 3). Luu’s arrest was the result of a collaborative effort led by the detective bureaus of the Concord, Laconia and Tilton Police Departments in addition to the United States Marshals Fugitive Task Force, and the Merrimack County Sheriff’s Department.
Luu was arraigned in the Concord District Court on Wednesday afternoon. Luu is also facing charges in the Belknap County Superior Court and is currently awaiting trial on three counts of dealing prescription narcotics. If convicted in Belknap County, Luu faces a maximum prison sentence of over 10 years in the New Hampshire State Prison, in addition to deportation from the United States back to his home country of Vietnam. Belknap County Attorney, Melissa Guldbrandsen said, “We take drug related offenses in Belknap County very seriously. This arrest proves that Luu’s illicit activities extend beyond the borders of Belknap County and as such I intend to hold him completely accountable for his conduct.”
from preceding page Ryan has spent hours huddling with advisers to polish his delivery and has been cramming with aides to sharpen his grasp of foreign policy and national security issues. As they prepared in Virginia’s mountains about 150 miles from Washington, Ryan focused on trying to shoehorn knowledge gained from seven terms in the House into two-minute answers. He has watched video of Biden’s 2008 vice presidential debate and recent campaign appearances. He knows Biden’s cadences and verbal ticks, including the signature “ladies and gentlemen” and punchy “folks” to get the audience’s attention. Ryan also has spent time working on trying to keep Biden from cutting him off, talking over him or throwing a wrench into his rehearsed answers. During practice debates, his stand-in for Biden, former Solicitor General Ted Olson, has been aggressive in trying to throw Ryan off his game. Above all else, aides tell Ryan to avoid specific numbers.
“He’s learning how to debate,” said Michael Steel, Ryan’s traveling spokesman who was a top aide to House Speaker John Boehner. “It’s not about learning policy. ... It’s about learning how to debate at this level.” Ryan and his aides also are trying to play up the vice president’s skills and perhaps set unrealistic expectations for Biden, who is doing his own cram sessions in Delaware before the meeting in Danville, Ky. “Joe Biden’s been doing this for 40 years,” Ryan told WTMJ-AM radio in Milwaukee. “I mean, the man ran for president twice, he’s the sitting vice president. And this is my first time on this kind of stage. So sure, there’s a lot of pressure.” He later seemed to suggest that his youth gave him the upper hand. “I’ve been in Congress 14 years. I’m a younger person. I’m next generation,” he told WTOL in Toledo, Ohio. “I’m in my 40s. Joe Biden is in his 60s. I’m used to debating people in Joe’s generation in Congress.”

Aren’t you on the list? It’s out! This year’s list of American success stories has just been published, and according to its compiler, it “instills confidence that the American dream is still very much alive.” Maybe you are one of these success stories. You might be a great public school teacher, for example, who motivated students to achieve new heights or an inventor who came up with an energy-saving device and got it to market at a fair price, generating a profit for yourself, the environment and society generally. No, no, no. Not that kind of success. We’re talking money — the flow of mammon beyond regular people’s wildest dreams. That’s how Forbes magazine measures not only “success,” but also a person’s value: You are what’s in your Swiss bank account. And, just to rank last on this year’s “Forbes 400” listing of America’s wealthiest people, you need more than a billion dollars in financial wealth. To get into the top 10 requires at least $25 billion. And to be numero uno means you’ve got $66 billion socked away. Who says America is broke? As Ray Charles sang, “Them that’s got is them that gets.” And sure enough, these richest of the riches got a lot richer in 2011 — the magazine gloated that these 400 swells jacked up their cumulative haul last year by $200 billion over the previous year — an average of half-a-billion each! Now that’s success, baby, especially when the typical American family’s income dropped by 4 percent. These ultra-wealthy, goes the Forbes narrative, are the “deserving rich,” for they are our economy’s makers and producers — as opposed to being takers and moochers, like those commoners who get Social Security, Medicare and other government help. Before swallowing that, however, note that roughly 40 percent of these “achievers” on the list “achieved” their wealth by being well-born — they inherited the money from Dad and Mom. And all of them have indeed been takers, not only enjoying government programs, but also subsidies and tax advantages available only to the rich. The Forbes list really says that you got special treatment — not that you are special. But if the rich need to feel special, they can always count on the editors of Fortune. We should not be surprised that a magazine named
Fortune would be empathetic to the feelings of the 1 percent, but — good grief — how embarrassingly sycophantish of the editors to hustle out a piece just before the presidential election titled, “Stop Beating up the Rich.” Written by Nina Easton, the timing of the article was less than fortunate, for it came out just as the infamous video surfaced showing Mitt Romney “beating up” the poor and the middle class, while his audience of fellow multimillionaires laughed, cheered and shouted encouragement. Despite the timing, Mitt and company undoubtedly appreciated the writer’s disdain for those who so insolently dare to criticize and even demonize those worthy ones at the top who, as she explained, “gained their wealth through their own efforts.” Also, you can almost hear the privileged ones applauding appreciatively as she scorns the divide between the 1 percent and the rest of us as a “flawed prism, marred by hyperbole, half-truths and unnecessary pessimism about what it means to succeed in America.” Passionately deploring “diatribes against the 1 percent,” Easton assails critics of America’s widening wealth inequality as being people who want “to raid the gold pot.” On behalf of the pampered rich, she issues her own emotional “grito,” wailing that critics must “stop the name-calling.” Does Easton propose any specific remedies for narrowing the wealth gap? You betcha, and it just happens to be one that’s a favorite of Mitt and the multimillionaire’s club — one that they prescribe for any and all of our nation’s economic woes: “corporate tax reform,” by which they mean lowering the corporate tax rate. Yeah, three decades of that trickle-down idea has worked so well for the middle-class and the poor, let’s give ‘em another jolt of it. It’s unclear why Fortune felt the need to print this piece of fluff or why Easton got the assignment, but her credit line does mention that her husband “is senior strategist for the Romney campaign.” Curious, huh? (Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist. The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)
Obama’s policies have failed; he doesn’t deserve a second term To the editor, Should we continue on this path of record deficits, high unemployment and underemployment, soaring fuel and food costs and the role of the United States diminished in the world?

him out on Nov. 6. I will be voting for Mitt Romney. Obama does not deserve a second term. Joanne D. Haight Sandwich

LETTERS Assuming revenue shortfall for charter school funding is wrong To the editor, The N.H. Board of Education has been turning down new charter schools on the basis of an assumed shortfall of funding. Charlie Arlinghaus’s recent op-ed did a very good job of explaining why this was not true. A critical — but heretofore overlooked — point is that the recently passed SB-401 changed the state adequate aid payments, which will significantly reduce the real cost to the state of expanding charter school options for parents. Thanks to SB-401, the state will now use one year old enrollment data rather than three to four year old data. To see how this lowers the program’s cost, take the following example: A student moves from a traditional public school into a charter school. The charter school will receive $5,450 per pupil from the state. The charter schools get paid based on “real time” enrollment. However, state adequacy aid to public school is based on three to four year old enrollment data, so the public school continues to receive adequacy aid for three to four years, even though the student is no longer attending that school. Before SB-401, the state would have paid the public school $12,600 to $16,800 for an empty desk (at the average state adequacy funding of $4,200). The real cost to the state Is much lower than the Board of Education assumes. Beginning in 2013, adequacy aid payments will be based on previous year’s enrollment data. This means that the true cost of parental school
choice would be $5,450 for one year, then only $1,250 after that. This was the whole point of SB-401 — to put charter schools and traditional public schools on a more equal playing field in order to provide options to families. The cost to the state, other than that first year, is nearly equal, so there is no reason to put a moratorium on charter schools or slow the chartering process. Charter school enrollments in 2010 and 2011 were 1,280 and 1,522 respectively. Expected enrollment for 2012 is 1,839. Under the previous law, the state would have saved $5.4M in adequacy grants, using 2010 enrollment data. Under SB-401, the state will save $7.7M, using the higher, more timely 2012 data. The significant difference — $2.3 million — represents double payments, tax dollars for an empty desk. The bottom line is that parents are gaining access to education choices they didn’t have before, through a fiscally-sound program. Those who assume a revenue shortfall are wrong. Next year we could expand the charter school program by $2.3M with no impact to the state budget compared to the old law. That’s enough to fund 422 charter school students. In 2014, those students would drop off the public school rolls, reducing their cost to around only $500,000. So, the question for the State Board of Education: Why did you impose a moratorium?

Treat yourself to dinner & evening with Phil Henry on Saturday To the editor, If you would like to free yourself from the continual barrage of 24/7 political “spinerama” of print, TV, and robo calls, set aside this Saturday evening and treat yourself to dinner, desert and the memorable artistry of folk singer, acoustical guitarist, songwriter and recording artist, Phil Henry. You will be magically transported back some years to a quieter, more gentle and civil period in time. We recently saw Phil in a coffee house setting and were captivated by his vocal and instrumental talent. It was like an evening of youthful
the today’s immersion in intensity and political warfare. Phil, along with sidekick and percussionist, Gary Moon will be repeating their coffee house setting performance here in Laconia at Pitmans Freight Room this Saturday evening, Oct 13th and adding an Italian Fondue dinner and dessert to make for an entire evening of socializing, reminiscing and self reflection. Do yourself a well deserved favor and check them out on the Pitman’s website of events or log on to Phil Henry’s website directly. Ken Goodman Moultonborough

LETTERS It is not enough to be hard-working public servant; votes count
On the debate front; one needs to go beyond style to substance
To the editor, Access to care, through private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid, largely determines the quality and length of our lives. Health care is not optional for any of us and it is certainly not a warm and fuzzy program. This is why it is so troubling that an elected official called public health care “another feel good program”. In Jeannie Forrester’s literature she is touted as a nice, hardworking person. But the statement on the last page regarding Medicaid and its potential expansion is insulting to our seniors, to the uninsured and to people with any type of chronic condition. No one chooses to be on Medicaid. It is a complex program surrounded by stigma and requirements that can be difficult and demanding. Does Forrester understand that 70-percent of the program’s funding is spent on nursing homes and home care for our senior citizens and people with severe disabilities and chronic illnesses? One in ten of the people she represents do not have health insurance. Without it, the people she represents face serious health consequences, mounting debt and possible bankruptcy. Yet Forrester calls Medicaid expansion a “feel good program”. Knowing a candidate’s record before you vote is important to the future of this state and its families. Do you believe that raising property taxes because the state downshifts its costs is a good thing for families? Do you think that gutting hospital funding, resulting in higher insurance prices, is good for business and individual insurance purchasers? Do you think New Hampshire can attract employ-
To the editor, In the presidential debate, Mitt Romney was dishonest in his presentation on several topics, some of which have been commented on by readers. However, there is one subject that I have not seen discussed and that is Romney’s position on Wall Street reform. During the debate, Romney complained that after two years DoddFrank did not go far enough because it requires banks to provide only “qualified” mortgages but the term “qualified” has not yet been defined. The lack of definition is hurting the housing market according to Romney. It is true that some of the writing is incomplete but why is that? Could it be due to Republican obstructionism? The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPR) is in charge of writing the rule on qualified mortgages. In April of last year, Senate Republicans wrote President Obama a letter promising to block the appointment of ANY director to the CFPR. In April of 2012, the Republicans proposed reducing the agency’s budget in half. In May of 2012 they voted to limit most of its power. Finally, earlier this year, Romney slammed the CFPB for being too powerful and the president for creating more regulations which kills jobs and crushes the American dream (March 19, 2012 University of Chicago). I see an inconsistency. The past actions and comments of the Republican Party and its nominee display a distaste for regulation but in the debate Romney’s comment that Dodd — Frank
ers by slashing higher education funding? Do you think that loan sharks should be able to prey on families who are struggling financially, ensuring that their debt will last decades if not a lifetime? Do you really think people can support their families if the minimum wage was eliminated? Forrester supported these and other troublesome measures in the Senate. She sat on the finance committee that allowed 800 children to lose insurance when they transferred Healthy Kids to Medicaid. And these families paid the full premium at no cost to the state or federal government. Is this common sense governing? Take a look at the record and then consider who best can represent you. Bob Lamb, her opponent, has a strong record of service in the military and considerable success in the financial world. He knows that education, job training and health care are critical economic issues, not “feel good” social programs. It is not enough to be a hardworking public servant. What matters is the candidate’s ability to truly represent our values, to make fiscally responsible decisions and to ensure that all citizens and businesses have the opportunity to be successful. And Bob Lamb knows that meeting the needs of our infirmed parents and grandparents is a moral obligation that the community at large expects us to meet — without complaint or derision. It is time to bring New Hampshire back to a positive agenda. Please consider Bob Lamb for State Senate. (www. boblambforsenate.com) Kathleen Sgambati Tilton
Players don’t ask coaches about play time because they fear less To the editor, My reply to Rod Roy: I want the community to know that my grandson did not come running to me asking “Grampy” for help like your condescending, sarcastic example implies. Nor was his mother involved with my question/opinion. Although, your comment does show everyone how you treat people disrespectfully — thank you! When I see a family member of any age struggling with unfair treatment, I try to help them make sense of it all — first, by gaining knowledge of the problem myself so that I can better assist them in understanding. This is one of the values we teach our grandsons — help each other through the tough times. Yes, the one suspension for inappropriate behavior was warranted and I’m sure a valuable lesson was learned; although I feel that many coaches role
model similar inappropriate behavior. However, you need to know that punishment is not the only effective tool for teaching. Is one of the reasons players don’t ask coaches about play time because they fear a negative consequence like even less play time in the next game. . . probably. Although your list of teams that you have coached is impressive, it does not mean that you are always right! My letter was not a personal attack on you, but a question to all coaches in every sport voiced by multiple parents and grandparents. There will be no further comments here from me as Coach Kozens has had my phone number for a few days now and my wife and I are anxiously awaiting a call from him to schedule a meeting to discuss things further. I’d love for you to join us. James Murphy Laconia
Removing political sign is against the law & fine can be $1k per To the editor, With a hotly contested election just around the corner, sign thieves are active again. State law forbids unauthorized removal of political signs. See NH RSA 664:17. There is a $1,000 penalty for violation of the statute and the court may require payment of $1,000 for each sign removed. See NH RSA 664:21,VI (b). I would advise those who have political signs on their property to keep a
cellphone or camera by a window or door where activity around the signs can be viewed. If you can catch a shot of the thieves or their vehicle when they strike in your neighborhood, the police may be able to use that photo to help identify the sign thieves. A news story regarding enforcement of this law could curb this disrespectful behavior. Gail C. Morrison Sanbornton
didn’t go far enough would indicate that Romney is in favor of regulation. Which Romney is the real Romney? Another aspect of Dodd-Frank mentioned during the debate is Romney’s dislike of the provision to designate some banks as too big to fail. The designation as a Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI) according to Romney will be harmful to the U.S. economy. Large banks and institutions are lobbying hard not to be designated as such because the designation brings with it additional regulations such as enhanced capital requirements, and leverage limits. The reality is that the banks and institutions affected by this designation are 50 billion dollar banks and they ARE too big to fail. Romney also implied in the debate that enhanced regulations would hurt the small and regional banks. Not true, just those designated as SIFI are affected by the provision. Is Romney pretending that not too big to fail doesn’t exist? It would appear that with his disapproval of SIFI, he would prefer to see the big banks be able to do their own thing and get bailed out at taxpayers’ expense as they did in the past. Yes, Governor Romney gave a great performance during the debate. However, one should go beyond style and examine substance. Governor Romney is playing a shell game and one needs to watch his sleight of hand when he discusses the issues. Marcia Hayward Laconia

LETTERS I would expect Sen. Forrester to know how vouchers are funded
Dems protest because that 47% is heart and soul of their party
To the editor, Last week I travelled 45 minutes to Danbury to attend a public event with Senate candidate Jeanie Forrester. I made the long trip because this was the only public speaking opportunity at which Mrs. Forrester has appeared during the campaign. The only events on her web site are “private” house parties (by invitation only) and a couple of early morning forums that are impossible for most working people to attend. As a member of the Inter-Lakes School Board, I am very interested in the senator’s position on education issues. When I questioned her about the school voucher program, it became clear she didn’t understand how it was funded. She claimed the funding for children who leave the district would magically appear. She further claimed to have reached out to the education community to get their opinion before casting her vote, but she never contacted the Inter-Lakes School Board. She certainly didn’t ask the chairman of SAU #2, my role at the time. Perhaps, she asked our then superintendent, Phil McCormack, whose recent letter I find disappointing. How could he support a candidate
To the editor, Democrats have hypocrisy-heads the size of the presidential noggins carved on the side of Mt. Rushmore. It seems it is perfectly acceptable when the donkey mule train attacks, demeans, demoralizes, denigrates and demonizes the 1-percent, 5-percent, or the top 10-percent into perpetuity. When Romney makes a statement regarding the 47-percent that pay no income taxes, that they would not vote for him if he were God maddens Democrats. It is a damn TRUE statement. Any reader with an IQ above one knows it. Why do Democrats protest? Because that 47-percent represents the HEART of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. It is the FACE Of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. The face of the donkey is NOT someone who is TYPICALLY paying any INCOME taxes. Obama has spent all four years trying to stick sap-like money spigots in every tax paying person in America to keep the dependency faithful satisfied. ObamaCare passed Congress with 60 votes, ALL FROM DONKEYS, NONE from Republicans with a majority chorus of Americans screaming “ NO “in the background. Obama threw us the single finger salute. ObamaCare is is the biggest GOVERNMENT DEPENDENCY program in history, adding 33-million NEW NIPPLES for the other half of America to pay for. Your one vote away from supporting 33 million more folks PLUS YOUR OWN FAMILY. If you are on Medicare, finding a doctor to serve you will become ever more difficult. OBAMA is SLASH-
who voted to exacerbate our most serious challenge, declining enrollment? How could he support a candidate who voted for a bill she clearly doesn’t understand? Afterwards, I did what Mrs. Forrester should have done before she voted. I called the Department of Education for clarification on the funding mechanism. According to Governor Lynch’s veto statement, every child that leaves our district will subject us to a reduction of between $3,450 and $8,381 from our statewide adequacy grant. Unfortunately, Forrester voted in favor of overriding the governor’s veto. The shortfall will be made up with either budget cuts or tax increases, so this is another example of the state downshifting costs to local communities. Since Mrs. Forrester is on the Senate Finance Committee, I expected her to understand how the bill was funded and to be able to explain it to interested voters. I can’t support a candidate who doesn’t support education and who doesn’t do her research before casting her vote. Lisa Merrill Meredith
We can count on Andrew Hosmer to protect rights of our families To the editor, In these uncertain times, we need a state senator who will work for our families in Concord. Andrew Hosmer is a leader who understands our priorities and who will stand up for us in the face of the extreme right-wing agendas that continue to threaten our rights in the Legislature. Josh Youssef, however, has not convinced us that he has even the slightest understanding of our values, let alone the courage to fight for them in the State Senate. By signing the Cornerstone Pledge, Mr. Youssef promised to dismantle marriage equality, threaten the quality of education for all New Hampshire children, and take away a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions. He has stated that his high profile, contentious custody battle is part of the reason
that he is running for State Senate. This forces us to question both his capacity to comprehend our family values, and his true intentions for seeking office in the first place. We want our children to have safe, loving homes and a strong education. We expect our elected officials to remain focused on ensuring this basic ideal by working to improving New Hampshire’s business climate and growing our economy. Andrew Hosmer has a proven track record as an assistant district attorney, a business leader, and a family man. As state senator, we can count on him to protect the rights of our families in Concord.

ING Medicare doctor reimbursement to get money to pay the health insurance of NON Medicare people. If Obama wins, America will have reached whale poop status for the STANDARDS it expects for results and leadership from any sitting president, irrespective of what party he represents. We have never voted in a president with unemployment above 7.2-percent. Why? Common sense mostly. It is a sure sign the man at the top is totally incompetent IN ECONOMIC MATTERS. YOUR VOTE It is like looking at your cars oil dip stick. Obama’s stick says add NEW PRESIDENT. He is not down two quarts, he is down $17-trillion and going higher with an economy down on it’s knees under his guidance puffing like a tired old work horse about to stall out AGAIN. The threat of another recession looms large and real next year. Who thinks Obama has the personality or ability to navigate and negotiate through those tough waters ahead? We are going to get EXACTLY what he has shown us for four years. All TALK and no WALK. All show and no GO. As Romney said we have 47-percent that will vote for Obama even if did not know who was buried in Grant’s tomb. Any vote for Obama is just a vote for a new TAX spigot to support what will become known through out history as THE OBAMA NIPPLE ECONOMY. Tony Boutin Gilford
My Coffee House has terrific food & coffee & they’re ever so caring To the editor, This is the season that soup is quite warming, that is unless you drop it. I was leaving one of my favorite lunch stops, My Coffee House, when I went to reposition my hand and the bag slipped and crashed right by the entryway. Shrimp and Roasted Corn Chowder poured out from the bag — my four dollar lunch, gone. Scooping to get up what I can, the owner of the store leans over my shoulder and says, “We’ll get you another one”. I am so grateful I had to write this letter to the paper to give a public,
“Thank You!” Not only does My Coffee House have terrific food and coffee but the family owned business is ever so caring! It is not a surprise they are in their 4th year open! I’ll continue to get my lunch, especially the yummy soup from the family of John and Cheryl, and their son Brandon, Morin, at My Coffee House in Laconia. I had already left the store, so for them to be so nice deserves public attention. Valerie Kimball Laconia
Assessing Bulletin for the Town of Gilmanton, NH Inspection of Properties to Update and Verify Property Data The Town of Gilmanton last measured and listed all properties in 2003 and 2004 for the 2004 town-wide revaluation. In 2009, the Town adjusted its assessments to market value using a statistical update, with only properties which had sold in the two previous years being inspected. All assessments will need to be updated again in 2014. Since all properties have not been measured and inspected since 2003-2004, the Town needs to measure and inspect all buildings before 2014. The purpose of this program is to update the assessment records and to collect the most accurate property information regarding all properties in town. To reach this goal, the Town plans to inspect all properties with buildings on them between October of 2012 and November of 2013. Beginning on or about October 15, 2012, a representative of the assessing department will be measuring and inspecting properties. If the owner or owner’s agent is at the property when the representative arrives, he will measure the building(s) and ask to inspect the home and any other improvements. If the owner or agent is not at the property, he will measure the building(s) and may callback at another time or leave a door hanger indicating that he has been there and requesting that the owner or agent call to schedule an appointment for an inspection of the interior of the building(s). The representative will have an identification badge and will never enter a building unless there is an owner or an agent of the owner at least 18 years of age present. We thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the assessing office at (603) 267-6700.

LETTERS Is best school environment dictated by few or negotiated by many? To the editor, Kenneth Norton, LISW, NIMH, has chosen to respond to whether or not WRHS administrators were justified in being cautious in their decisionmaking process concerning the potential memorial to the life — not the tragic death — of a student by her peers. In my opinion, he has chosen to use his adult filtering system as to the true issue of this situation which is usual modus operani when adults attempt to dictate from a power or control position instead of attempting to equalize the negotiation with adolescents by allowing the adolescent or group of adolescents to present a supported case for their choice. I am surprised that with his experience that Mr. Norton would not present the case that administrators’ choice needs to be well thought out but that it needs involved negotiation not dictation in order for communication and ownership can be established. This negotiation should involve and allow the community that is affected to have the potential for opinion and input into the final decision. It is not normally the message that is of the forefront of the issue but the feeling of powerlessness thusly creating the victimizing the victim process which can have devastating effects on an adolescent and potentially increasing the acting out behavior in an outward
or inward manifestation. I believe that all involved knew they should be be cautious in the decision to be made but should be been much more cautious as to attributing motives to individuals who were involved and summarily dismissing the initiative of individuals to engage in positive behavior. WRSD employs qualified clinical professionals that are trained in this creation of an environment that allows for equality and respect for all involved in a decision-making process such as this. WRSD is fortunate to have the support of parents who are willing to advocate for the best situation for all students. These two groups provide the strong foundation for delicate decisions that need to make that involve the potential emotional and physical risks to students and should be involved in these decisions under the guidance of our funded clinical staff along with administrators. I would end with the following questions. Is the school environment that we want our children to experience success in their quest for learning and life, one best dictated by a few or negotiated by the many? Who should have ownership of their educational experience, the administrators of a school system or the consumers, parents and children? Wayne Brock Tilton
Time to bring democracy back to N.H. by electing Democrats To the editor, During four years as a state legislator, and now as a selectman, I have tried to understand those who have favored, and those who have opposed, various bills, policies and courses of action. That’s not always easy, but everyone holding elective office has an obligation to hear different points of view and then to solve problems, not to create or ignore them, and not to make matters worse. We have witnessed, during the last two years, relentless and often successful efforts to deny women access to health care by many legislators, including our own. The logic of restricting access to cancer screening escapes me. The rationale behind limiting the availability of reproductive health care to half our population similarly eludes me, until I remember
that it is the half not being affected that has made those decisions. It’s hard to imagine how I’d feel if analogous restrictions applied to me. However, knowing that this war on women is being carried out predominately by members of one political party, I cannot think of a reason why any woman would, this year, vote for any Republican candidate for any elective office. Sadly, most reasonable Republican legislators, who were the majority and who defended women’s rights, have been driven out by the extreme right wing of their party. Only you, the voter, can end this denial of health care to half our population. It’s time to deliver a wake-up call. It’s time to bring democracy back to New Hampshire by electing Democrats. Phil Preston Ashland
Don’t close eyes to truth that abortions kill & are devilishly evil To the editor, Patrick Henry, famous for his statement “Give me liberty or give me death!” made an astute observation of human nature and included it as a point in his 1775 speech to the Virginia Convention. In reference to the colonists’ struggle for liberty, he said, “We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth.” How many Americans shut their eyes to the “painful truth” that abortions kill babies? Shutting eyes and minds to the truth and denying that unborn babies are in fact human is wrong. When a pregnant woman denies that she is carrying a baby and aborts it, she is committing the horrible act of infanticide. Patrick Henry also contributed his insight and expertise to our Bill of Rights, still honored today over 200
years since it was written. Patrick Henry was fully involved in the American Revolution and supported the writing of the Declaration of Independence. In that declaration, Americans were guaranteed “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Life begins at conception, and if a woman is pregnant, the baby is biologically and morally a person right from the start. By our constitution, this child is guaranteed life. Don’t close your eyes to the truth that abortions kill and are devilishly evil. To abort means to end, in this case to end a baby’s life, murder. If raising a child seems to be too much, consider adoption, not abortion. Life is precious. Harry Mitchell Laconia
Electric Co-op insists ‘smart meters’ not capable of monitoring appliance use By Michael Kitch
PLYMOUTH — In response to another press report that its so-called “smart meters” threatened the privacy of its customers, the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative (NHEC) this week again insisted that meters being installed throughout its service area are incapable of collecting or transmitting personal information and buttressed its statement with a technical report from the manufacturer. On Tuesday the New Hampshire Union-Leader carried a story on its front page headlined “Smart Meter Fight Not Over, Neighbors Say,” in which Joan Wirth of Bristol, founder of the New Hampshire Coalition Against Smart Meters, claimed “This is not just about Bristol anymore. This is all across the state.” The story recalls recalls the unsuccessful efforts of Wirth and others from Hundred Acre Woods, a residential development in Bristol, to forestall the installation of smart meters in court last spring, but offers no evidence of opposition to the initiative beyond that neighborhood. Representative Paul Simard (R-Bristol), who last month told The Laconia Daily Sun he was considering introducing legislation to require the consent of property owners before installing smart meters, is quoted as saying that the NHEC has not informed most customers that the meters are capable of gathering all sorts of information, which raises privacy issues. Seth Wheeler, communications administrator of the NHEC, said yesterday that the front-page story prompted the utility to repeat that its meters can record and transmit only
monthly electric usage, just as the conventional meters they are replacing. “Despite NHEC’s repeated assertions to the contrary, ‘” the statement reads, “a small number of smart meter opponents have insisted that the REX2 meter can be used to determine what appliances are being used in the home or business, and that NHEC could sell that information to third party marketers or provide it to the manufacturer. According to the meter manufacturer,” the statement continues, “the microcontroller in REX2 meters cannot be programmed in any configuration to capture such data.” An accompanying report by Elster Electricity, LLC of Raleigh, North Carolina, the maker of the meters, declares that “the REX2 meters deployed to date are not capable of identifying electricity use by specific appliances located within members’/ consumers’ premisses.” The report includes a technical explanation, with photographs, of the limitations of the meters. Furthermore, Wheeler noted that earlier this year the Legislature enacted a bill prohibiting the installation of meters capable of recording the electricity used by different appliances and equipment without the consent of the property owners. “We would be breaking law by installing meters with that capability,” he said, adding that since June, 2011 the NHEC has replaced some 81,000 conventional meters and expects all of its approximately 83,000 customers.to have smart meters by the end of the month. The NHEC serves 115 municipalities, including a small section of Laconia and and all or parts of eight towns in Belknap County.
GLUE from page 2 earlier this week showing her daughter’s injuries. “Only a monster does that,” Escalona responded.

ALTON SCHOOL DISTRICT – SAU 72 “CHILD FIND”
SAU #72 serves the Alton School district. As mandated under the Individuals with Disabilities Act, public schools must provide Special Education for all children between the ages of 3 and 21 who are determined to be educationally disabled. Additionally, school districts are required to have formal “Child Find” procedures to locate, evaluate and count children who may have disabilities to ensure that eligible children are found, classified and provided needed services. This law applies to all children, including those in nonpublic schools, preschools and hospital settings, as well as children who are wards of the state and homeless children. If you suspect that a child may have an educationally disabling condition, you are encouraged to contact the school district in which the child resides to discuss your concerns. School personnel will provide you with information on the procedures for making a referral. For additional information, please contact Catherine Dix-Herndon, Director of Special Education SAU #72 (875-0398).

Memphis bluesman will bring unique sound to Laconia on Friday & Putnam Fund concert is free LACONIA — Preston Shannon, who has lived most of his life in Memphis, got hooked on the blues at an early age. Now a veteran bluesman about to release his fifth album, he’s found that the Memphis sound resonates with music fans well outside of Tennessee, owing to that genre’s role in laying the foundation for rock and roll and contemporary pop music. On Friday, Shannon will bring his six-piece band to Laconia courtesy of the Putnam Fund. Like all Putnam-sponsored performances, admission to the event is free. The show will be held at the Laconia High School Auditorium beginning at 7 p.m. Audience members will be seated as they arrive. “I can’t wait, I’ve never been to New Hampshire before,” Shannon said during a telephone interview on Wednesday. Shannon is considered one of the premier curators of Beale Street-style, Memphis blues, with its signature of soulful vocals and accentuated by a horn section. “We have the status that this is the home of the blues and the birthplace of rock and roll,” he said, listing the many iconic bluesmen who rose to stardom in Memphis. Their music served as the jumping-off point for rock and roll pioneers such as Elvis Presley, and Shannon feels that all of contemporary
music can be traced back to his home city. “Memphis has a reputation,” he said. Remaining true to the Memphis tradition, Shannon makes room in his band for horn players, even though modern keyboard players can produce a reasonable facsimile. For Shannon, though, it’s worth the extra expense to present Beale Street to audiences in the way that the music was initially conceived. “When the material was written and recorded, horns were a part of the music,” he said. “Nothing can replace an individual playing a horn — you can’t replace that.” Shannon has released four albums, including the 1999 “All In Time,” which received three Grammy nominations. He is planning to release his latest recording, a tribute to the influential but littleknown Elmore James. The album is expected to be released next month. Asked what potential audience members should expect on Friday night, Shannon said, “If they come to the concert, they’re going to have a party, they’re going to dance, they’re definitely going to have some fun.” He added, “I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in Laconia.” — Adam Drapcho

Escalona’s family has acknowledged their dismay and anger following the attack, but both her mother and sister asked the judge for leniency. “I wanted an explanation,” said Margaret Escalona, her sister. “I wanted to know what happened. I wanted to beat my sister up.” Ofelia Escalona, Elizabeth’s mother, said her daughter hit her as a child, but she also said Elizabeth was abused growing up. Both Ofelia and Margaret Escalona argued that Elizabeth needed more help and not prison. “Her being taken away won’t help any,” Margaret
Escalona said. Counselor Melanie Davis testified Wednesday that she believes from the conversations she has had with Elizabeth Escalona that the mother loves her five children, one of whom was born after the attack. Davis said she has been counseling Escalona since June, nine months after her arrest. Escalona has set herself the short-term goals of finding a job and furthering her education and the long-term aim of getting her kids back, Davis testified. She added that Escalona “is need of further counseling services.” Ofelia Escalona now takes care of Elizabeth Escalona’s five children, including one child born earlier this year, after the attack took place.

Congressman Guinta told Jan. 1 ‘fiscal cliff’ holding economy back during visit to Weirs Beach marina By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Republican Congressman Frank Guinta received a warm welcome yesterday at Thurston’s Marina at Weirs Beach, where owners Jeff and Mark Thurston readily assured him of their votes, prompting him to offer his thanks, wave his hand and feign leaving the showroom. In a rematch of the last election, Guinta, a former mayor of Manchester, is defending his seat in the first congressional district against the challenge of Carol Shea-Porter, who held it for two terms before losing it in 2010. Fresh from a televised debate with his opponent, Guinta was clearly pleased to hear Mark Thurston say that the exchange reminded him why he voted against Shea-Porter in the past and wiould do so again. Thurston recalled that “we purchased the business in 1972 and the next year we had the oil crisis then interest rates went to 21-percent. We were financing boats at 18-percent, credit card rates,” he said. But, he continued the current slump is the “longest, most unenjoyable. People are buying what they need, not what they want,” he explained. “If your sales are flat,
that’s good.” Both Thurstons stressed that “uncertainty” was weighing heavily on the economy, particularly the socalled “fiscal cliff,” marked by automatic increases in taxes and decreases in defense spending , if Congress fails to renegotiate the bargain struck to raise the debt ceiling lasted year. Jeff Thurston told Guinta that he is the process or ordering inventory for next year, noting “it’s hard to project when you don’t know what the rules are. The clarity is not there.” “Wherever I go,” Guinta replied, “this is what I hear. We have to plan for next year.” He said that the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold a commanding majority, has adopted a list of spending cuts, altogether more than the bargain requires, but the Senate, where the Democrats hold a slim majority, has refused to consider them until after the election. Instead, Guinta said the Senate, with support from President Obama, seeks to raise taxes on those earning more than $250,000 a year in return for accepting reduced expenditures, a ploy he called “horsetrading” and “brinksmanship.” “I don’t like to play the blame game,” Guinta see next page

LOCAL EXPERIENCED SOCIAL SECURITY ATTORNEY
Have you been denied Social Security Disability? Attorney Stanley Robinson has successfully handled disability cases for over 30 years.
BABY from page one Union Avenue home of the baby’s mother and accompanied them to the hospital. The news of Katie’s birth went nation-wide after her unusual birth at the speedway on September 14. Video tape of the 5-pound baby was featured in a news report on WMUR televison. News accounts said Katie’s mother, Shawna Arnold, and her boyfriend were headed down Rte. 106 to Concord Hospital where she had planned to have the baby. She went into labor just before the speedway.
Arnold told her boyfriend she couldn’t wait until they got to the hospital and he pulled into the speedway where he helped her deliver Katie in the back of his Saturn. An EMT who works at the speedway came to help and Arnold and Katie were taken by ambulance to Concord Hospital. There was no NASCAR race that day but there was a motorcycle race and emergency personnel were at the track. “We have no reason to think this is anything but a natural and tragic death,” Canfield said.
DRUG MIX from page one yesterday he expects more charges to be forthcoming. As of today, he faces two counts of marijuana sales, one count of sales of amphetamines, one count of sales of Psilocybin mushrooms and one count of sales of peyote. Jones faces one count of felony criminal liability of another. Affidavits said Hebert was convicted of seven counts of forgery in 1997 and had violated the terms of his probation in Laconia in 1999. More recently, he was found guilty of reckless conduct in the 6th Circuit Court, Franklin Division, and had his license revoked for non-payment of child support. Arguing against the original $200,000 cash bail, Public Defender Kate Geraci said Hebert hadn’t even been charged with the crimes alleged by Jacques and for the purposes of his video appearance yesterday, should be released on $10,000 cash bail. She said he operates a successful on-line business from his home and would agree to any conditions the court placed on him. She said Hebert had ties to the community — his mother and the mother of his two children were in court yesterday – and was not a flight risk. Geraci said she had spoken with the family and was told they may be able to raise $10,000 cash. She was amenable to high personal recognizance bail. Carroll told Hebert that he spoke to him “with a
heavy heart” acknowledging the drowning death of his father this past spring and the recent passing of his grandmother — a woman Carroll said he considered the “salt of the earth.” Carroll set bail at $25,000 cash-only and $100,000 personal recognizance. Carroll also asked Jacques if the items Hebert allegedly used in his pill-making operation were in police custody and Jacques said they were “to the best of his ability.” After the hearing, Hebert’s mother Marylou Leach of Franklin, said Hebert “just hadn’t been himself “ since his father and his grandmother died. She said the family also recently suffered another tragedy when a relative’s baby died. She said she is refurbishing the family’s home on Grant Street and wants her son to live there when and if he is released on bail. “I just want our family to have some peace,” Leach said. Jones also appeared by video camera in court yesterday. Crying and sobbing throughout her appearance, she said she didn’t have $50,000 — her initial bail amount — and that “she only went to his house to help him out” and “that she didn’t care what was going on there.” Affidavits said that Jones was physically present during some of Hebert’s transactions with the see next page
from preceding page said. “But this should have been handled long ago. If the president told the Senate to get this done, it would get done.” He said the two issues — spending cuts and tax rates — are separate and should be addressed separately. However, he also claimed that raising tax rates for those in the two highest tax brackets would lead to the loss of between 700,000 and 1,000.000 jobs and bring economic growth to a halt. Guinrta is among the 238 representatives and
41 senators to sign the pledge sponsored by Americans for Tax Reform never to vote to raise taxes. Although confident of his re-election, Guinta said that he was taking nothing for granted and campaigning aggressively. “The state knows us,” he said, recalling the last election. “We’re defined. Most people know where they’re going to go. It all comes down to turnout,” he observed. “I believe the enthusiasm is on the Republican side.”

from preceding page undercover police officer and Jacques said it was such a small living space, that it would be “had to argue she was ignorant of the drug activity.” Carroll cautioned her not to speak until she had a lawyer and set her bail at $5,000 cash-only and $50,000 personal recognizance. He said she could request a bail hearing once she got a lawyer. After the hearing Kelly Rowson — the mother of Hebert’s children — said she had met Jones but didn’t know her well. She said the morning of the day Jones and Hebert were arrested, she and Jones had made plans to take her children trick-or-treating and that was the first time she actually spoke at length to her. Rowson said the the entire time she lived with Hebert she never knew him to smoke marijuana or drink alcohol. “He hates smoking anything,” she said.

land to Pemi-Valley Habitat for the construction of Habitat homes. However, studies showed that infrastructure costs for wells, septic, road and drainage would exceed $200,000. In an attempt to move the project forward, Pemi-Valley Habitat applied for a $266,000 Community Development Block Grant and became the first Habitat for Humanity affiliate to have a project receive funding. “We are very pleased and excited to receive this grant and to have the opportunity to build in the town of Bristol for the very first time,” said PemiValley Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Brian McCarthy. The Pemi-Valley Habitat Board of Directors unanimously voted to name the road leading to the new Bristol homes “Hedstrom Way.” This road, as well as the homeowners association, is named in memory of the Reverend Douglas Hedstrom, former pastor of the Bristol United Church of Christ, a dedicated Habitat supporter and volunteer, who passed away suddenly on June 19, 2010.

BRISTOL — Volunteers working on the largest and most ambitious Habitat for Humanity project ever undertaken in the Lakes Region are hoping to complete the first of four homes they are building on Hedstrom Way before Christmas. That home will be owned by Jennifer Gibbs of Holderness, a single mother of three boys who was busy working Saturday with other volunteers from Pemi Valley Habitat for Humanity raising the roof rafters. over the weekend. Gibbs, who works at J.Jill in Tilton and is also in her freshman year at Lakes Region Community College, where she is enrolled in a two-year nursing program, says that she enjoys a lot of support from family and friends and is thankful for those who are helping her contribute ‘’sweat equity’’ towards her new home. And she’s looking forward to helping build the other homes in the project and having her oldest son, now 13, able to help out as well as a volunteer starting next summer. Among the volunteers is Heather Sanchez of Laconia, who works with Gibbs at J.Jill and said that she’s glad to volunteer to help out a friend. Also serving as a volunteer is Gibbs’ father, Joe Fagnant of Holderness,. ‘’We’re looking to finish Jennifer’s home before Christmas,’’ said Fagnant, who works for the Plymouth Highway Department and said it was his firstever home building experience. ‘’I know all about plowing snow, but this is a little different and I need some directions,’’ said Fagnant as he helped lift one of the roof beams up to John Sprague of Dorchester, whose family will occupy the third home in the project. Sprague, who works for the Lakes Region Community Services Council in Plymouth in a program which helps involve older men with disabilities in the community, says that he’s enjoying the chance to use his previous building experience on the project. ‘’I never thought things would work put like this. I’ve been a builder in the past and did some work at the Restore Project in Ashland but never had an idea that it would lead to me helping build my own home. It’s a different chapter in my life and I’m working alongside some really awesome people,’’ said Sprague. Heading up the work crew was Paul Turley of Rumney, who runs his own construction firm and says that he’s been involved in building homes for the poor ever since he worked with a group from a Catholic college building homes in the Appalachians in the 1970s. ‘’This is the eighth house I’ve helped build with Habitat workers in the area. Nothing would make me happier than to be doing this every day,’’ said Turley. The project, which is being built just south of town on Rte. 3-A, got its start several years ago when the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority purchased a 2-acre parcel of land from the N.H. Department of Transportation. The plan was to sell the

ARMSTRONG from page 2 USADA Chief Executive Travis Tygart said the cyclists were part of “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.” Armstrong did not fight the USADA charges, but insists he never cheated. His attorney, Tim Herman, called the report “a one-sided hatchet job — a taxpayer funded tabloid piece rehashing old, disproved, unreliable allegations based largely on axe-grinders, serial perjurers, coerced testimony, sweetheart deals and threatinduced stories.” Aware of the criticism his agency has faced from Armstrong and his legion of followers, Tygart insisted his group handled this case under the same rules as any other. Armstrong was given the chance to take his case to arbitration and declined, choosing in August to accept the sanctions instead, he noted. “We focused solely on finding the truth without being influenced by celebrity or non-celebrity, threats, personal attacks or political pressure because that is what clean athletes deserve and demand,” Tygart said. The report called the evidence “as strong or stronger than any case brought in USADA’s 12 years of existence.” In a letter sent to USADA attorneys Tuesday, Herman dismissed any evidence provided by Landis and Hamilton, saying the riders are “serial perjurers and have told diametrically contradictory stories under oath.” Shaker Regional School District Serving the Communities of Belmont & Canterbury CHILDFIND CLINIC Are you concerned about your child’s development?

The testimony of Hincapie, one of Armstrong’s closest and most loyal teammates through the years, was one of the report’s new revelations. “I would have been much more comfortable talking only about myself, but understood that I was obligated to tell the truth about everything I knew. So that is what I did,” Hincapie said of his testimony to federal investigators and USADA. His two-page statement did not mention Armstrong by name. Neither did statements from three other teammates-turned-witnesses, all of whom said this was a difficult-but-necessary process. “I have failed and I have succeeded in one of the most humbling sports in the world,” Christian Vande Velde said. “And today is the most humbling moment of my life.” SIDEWALK from page one ued up Messer Street. Hubbard said White did this twice before he finally stopped. He said when he went up to White and told him he was under arrest, White looked at him and said, “No I’m not.” “Yes you are,” Hubbard said he told White, adding when he went to handcuff him he pulled away so he took him to the ground. White is charged with one count of resisting arrest, one count of disobeying an officer, and one violation for driving on a sidewalk. “I wasn’t even going to give him a ticket,” Hubbard said. “I was going to warn him not to drive on the sidewalk.” White was released on personal recognizance bail and given a court date in December. Hubbard said police just want motorists to be a little more patient when behind someone making a left turn.

Lynch says N.H. used fiscal discipline to end year with surplus of $13.8M CONCORD (AP) — Gov. John Lynch said Wednesday that New Hampshire is in pretty good financial shape after achieving a $13.8 million budget surplus in the fiscal year that ended June 30. The surplus was cited in the unaudited Comprehensive Annual Financial Report released by Lynch’s office. The final figure is expected in late December, he said. Lynch said the surplus will be looked upon favorably by bond rating agencies, and he praised state agency heads for controlling costs at a time when they faced significant challenges in the budget adopted by lawmakers. Lynch let that budget become law without his signature, largely because he objected to large cuts to hospitals and the state university system. “I still think those were inappropriate,” he said, but the alternative — a veto — was worse. “I think it would’ve resulted in maybe no budget at all, throwing state government in chaos, as well as further cuts, possibly to the university system.” Republican lawmakers quickly took credit for the surplus. Sen. Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, said the surplus was a vindication of the difficult choices the Republican-led Legislature made during budget negotiations to reverse
course after Democrats increased spending in previous years. House Speaker William O’Brien said the fact that revenue projections came in so close to projections was a “stunning, remarkable achievement” that “shows what happens when your focus is on delivering accurate figures and not trying to inflate revenues to spend more money.” Lynch said the surplus was notable given the state had a $22 million shortfall in Medicaid enhancement tax revenues and a $12 million drop in tobacco tax revenue. The state also collected $22 million less in revenue from audited businesses compared to the previous year, which Lynch attributed to the layoff of 14 state auditors. Offsetting those lower receipts were higher revenues from business and rooms and meals taxes, a $17.7 million surplus from the previous year and various budget adjustments. Balancing the next budget will be a challenge given that a new Medicaid managed care system is being implemented, and the state will have to continue returning millions of dollars to federal government for failing to comply with Medicaid requirements in 2004, Lynch said.
Man found passed out on roof of Wisconsin capitol MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Police say a Minnesota man who broke into the Wisconsin Capitol through a first-floor window and was found unconscious on the roof is now facing criminal charges. The Wisconsin Department of Administration says 21-year-old Andrew Bishop smashed a window Sunday to get into the Capitol. Authorities say the Roseville, Minn., man then grabbed a fire extinguisher and threw it through another window.
Police found Bishop passed out on the fourth-floor rooftop just below the dome’s observation deck. A criminal complaint says an officer described Bishop as very drunk and ultimately apologetic. Bishop is charged in Dane County with felony criminal damage and entry into a locked building, a misdemeanor. He was in jail on a $1,000 bond Wednesday and doesn’t yet have an attorney. He’s due in court next week.

OBITUARY
Margaret J. Turner, 85 GILFORD — Margaret Julia (Ladrie) Turner of Gilford and Belknap County Nursing home passed away October 8, 2012 after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s. Born March 21, 1927 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Margaret was the nextto-youngest of twelve brothers and sisters. She married William Lloyd Turner in 1944, and raised their three children. The family moved to Gilford in 1967 where for many years she was a cashier for Star Market. She and Lloyd enjoyed dancing with their friends at the Margate and Christmas Island. Margaret loved to interact with people, particularly her family and many friends. She was fond of socializing and took pride in decorating her home and dressing up for holiday events. In later years she and both of her green thumbs avidly tended to her beautiful yard and flower gardens throughout the seasons. She could often be found at Dunkin’ Donuts savoring a fresh coffee, an old-fashioned
donut, and the company of her friends. As it does for many, the ocean held a special attraction for her. Margaret’s husband passed away in October 2002. She leaves behind her children Linda Merrill, Brenda Williams, W. Mark Turner, her “adopted” daughter Kathy Piazza, nine grandchildren and many great- grandchildren. We will all miss her quick wit, warm heart, generous spirit, piercing blue eyes and movie-star smile. At her request there will be no service. Donations in her memory may be directed to the Belknap County Nursing Home Resident Activities Fund; 30 County Drive, Laconia, NH 03246 or to Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice; 780 North Main Street, Laconia, NH 03246. Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H. is assisting the family with the arrangements.

atre can tell you that there is a special bond between performers which can never be broken. Despite the chaos which mounts as opening night looms ever nearer, performers somehow make the magic happen, and sharing that accomplishment creates lasting friendships and stories to tell for years to come. So when one of our own faces a crisis, we all share in the fear and the sadness”. Mann, a superb jazz singer and performer, has struggled to make rehearsals and has been hospitalized twice since the show went into production. At this writing, it is unknown if Mann will be able to participate in the show. “Whether Tom can perform or not, he will be with us in spirit, said Karen Simpson. “We will be singing for him, if not with him. And we will share Tom’s passion for performing with the audience.” Tickets are $15, and reservations can be made at 603-677-2777. Music Clinic Theatre Company is located at 197 Daniel Webster Highway, Belmont, across from China Garden Restaurant.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The beautiful part of being a water sign is that you find it easy to accept that everything changes, and like water, you flow with it. Today you’ll find the inner serenity of a placid lake. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s likely that someone around you is behaving like a proud peacock in order to impress you. The bright plumage, puffed up and fanned out, does make quite a statement. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s been said that tragedy plus time equals comedy. It doesn’t always ring true, but today something that once bothered you a great deal will now seem downright hilarious. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Novel problems call for novel solutions. Your fresh approach and unrelenting originality could save the day. Work with those who are likely to bring a practical advantage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is a thin line between helping people and controlling people. You’ll be aware of this and careful to stay within your boundary. You’ll be even more careful not to let another person give help you don’t need. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 11). Many preach the need for change, but you’re the bold one who actually does it. You’ll solve a strange puzzle next month. You’ll be proud of what you decide or create in December. Financially, things pick up in January, and July brings another high. You’ll take on a new position in February. Sagittarius and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 33, 21 and 45.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be in the mood for rule breaking, and not out of a sense of entitlement, but because you feel seized by an adventurous hunger. The way you break the rules inspires potential rule enforcers to turn a blind eye. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Do not fear being a leader. You will be one whether you fear it or not, so you may as well decide to focus on doing what needs to be done and let go of the rest. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). New resources open up. Someone shares all that’s in his heart. Animals show an affinity for you. The myriad randomness you encounter has one thing in common: It all seems designed to please you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will be drawn to those with a different moral standard from your own. The advice of a somewhat devious friend is actionable, but take action at your own risk. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Understand that the authority figure in a situation needs to feel superior. Be careful not to upset the balance of power. You’re wise to display your talents only as they relate to the situation at hand. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll exercise your individuality and recognize how it fits and doesn’t fit into the organized systems of the world. There’s no need to conform your unique view at this time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Someone you admire is accessible to you. If you know specifically what you want and what you can give, reach out and make yourself known. Accomplished individuals will give you humble assistance.

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, October 11, 2012
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Oct. 11, the 285th day of 2012. There are 81 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 11, 1962, Pope John XXIII convened the first session of the Roman Catholic Church’s 2nd Vatican Council, also known as “Vatican 2.” On this date: In 1779, Polish nobleman Casimir Pulaski, fighting for American independence, died two days after being wounded during the Revolutionary War Battle of Savannah, Ga. In 1811, the first steam-powered ferryboat, the Juliana (built by John Stevens), was put into operation between New York City and Hoboken, N.J. In 1862, during the Civil War, Confederate forces led by Gen. J.E.B. Stuart looted the town of Chambersburg, Pa. In 1890, the Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in Washington, D.C. In 1910, Theodore Roosevelt became the first former U.S. president to fly in an airplane during a visit to St. Louis, Mo. In 1932, the first American political telecast took place as the Democratic National Committee sponsored a program from a CBS television studio in New York. In 1942, the World War II Battle of Cape Esperance began in the Solomon Islands, resulting in an American victory over the Japanese. In 1958, the lunar probe Pioneer 1 was launched; it failed to go as far out as planned, fell back to Earth, and burned up in the atmosphere. In 1968, Apollo 7, the first manned Apollo mission, was launched with astronauts Wally Schirra, Donn Fulton Eisele and R. Walter Cunningham aboard. The government of Panama was overthrown in a military coup. In 1984, space shuttle Challenger astronaut Kathryn Sullivan became the first American woman to walk in space. In 1986, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev opened two days of talks concerning arms control and human rights in Reykjavik, Iceland. In 1992, in the first of three presidential debates, three candidates faced off against each other in St. Louis, Mo. — President George H.W. Bush, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and businessman Ross Perot. One year ago: Presidential challenger Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama of failing to lead in a time of economic peril but sounded less conservative than his Republican rivals in their debate in Hanover, N.H., defending the 2008-2009 Wall Street bailout and declaring he could work with “good” Democrats. Today’s Birthdays: Author Elmore Leonard is 87. Actor Earle Hyman is 86. Actor Ron Leibman is 75. Actor Amitabh Bachchan is 70. Country singer Gene Watson is 69. Rhythm-and-blues musician Andrew Woolfolk is 62. Actress-director Catlin Adams is 62. Country singer Paulette Carlson is 61. Actor David Morse is 59. Actor Stephen Spinella is 56.

Ghost Encounters brings true ghostly tales to life at Canterbury Shaker Village on Friday & Saturday CANTERBURY — Canterbury Shaker Village debuts Ghost Encounters, a performance tour stocked with seven true tales of ghostly encounters at the Village, on October 12-13. Two tours will be offered on each date, one at 6:30 p.m. and the other at 8:30 p.m. Space is limited so reservations are required and can be made by calling the Village at (603) 783-9077 x230 or visit the Village online at shakers.org. d Visitors will hear six characters – the Guide, the Sous Chef, the Intern, the Textiles Expert, the Historian and Eldress Elizabeth Stirling – tell their tales of Village encounters with other-worldly spirits. The Shakers themselves came to Canterbury around 1784 and the village has been inhabited
either by Shakers, or by the museum that honors their legacy, since that time. Hundreds of individuals called the Village home during its time as a thriving Shaker community, and over the years, many stories of otherworldly occurrences have been collected. Many Shakers believed in an afterlife where spirits of both believers and non-believers may linger for a while on the earthly plane before reaching their final destination - lending some credence to the possibility that some of them may still inhabit the Village. Admission is $12 for adults, and $6 for children ages 6-17. This spooky tour is not recommended for younger children. For more information about this event visit the Village website, shakers.org or call (603) 783-9077 x230.

Wolf Ambassador Program coming to Holderness School for 2 shows Saturday
HOLDERNESS — Mission: Wolf Ambassador Wolf Program is coming to New Hampshire for two shows on Saturday, October 13 at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. Squam Lakes Natural Science Center will present this exciting event at the Holderness School on Route 175 in Holderness. The dramatic and diverse reactions that humans express in the presence of a live wolf is one combined of fear, intrigue, ignorance and arrogance. The wolf is one of the most controversial species throughout human history - In an instant the mind flashes from the fear of Grandmother and livestock eating beasts to admiration as the creator of our best friend the dog and the symbol for wildness. The connection a
person has to nature is realized when a wolf takes time to greet them - eye-to-eye. The Ambassador Wolf Tour travels the country with Ambassador Wolves to visit schools, universities, museums, and other public facilities. The program provides a once in a lifetime opportunity: to meet a wolf face-to-face. Direct interactions with live wolves illustrate wolf behavior, the differences between wolves and dogs, and the need for wolves to return to the wilderness areas of the world. Experience has taught people that the eyes of a wolf, looking into a person’s, relate this message louder and stronger than words ever will. “We brought this program to New Hampshire for
the first time in 2010 and received such positive feedback that we are bringing it back this year for these two special shows,” said Iain MacLeod, Executive Director of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. Programs will be held at the Hagerman Auditorium of the Holderness School on Route 175 in Holderness. The program cost is $10 for members and $12 for non-members. Reservations are requested in advance by calling 603-968-7194 or email info@ nhnature.org.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband is a wonderful man in almost every respect. But when we are in the car together, he uses road rage to manipulate me into agreeing to things I don’t want. He’ll drive threateningly if I don’t say it’s OK for him to take that fishing trip or go to a movie. When he is the driver, he controls everyone because we are dependent on him. I have pointed this out to him, but it always ends in a terrible fight. Worse, he punishes me by saying, “I will never take that trip again,” or “I won’t go to that movie with you.” He accuses me of provoking him. My husband’s nephew was the target of the same abuse when we traveled together recently. The boy was behaving like an angel, when suddenly my husband became enraged and demanded all sorts of concessions from his nephew. For the longest time, I didn’t realize what was going on. I thought he just couldn’t handle driving. What I didn’t understand is that he uses road rage as a form of bullying and abuse. I don’t know how I was so blind for so many years. It is the perfect tool to get away with whatever he wants. It also is a form of torture, because he makes us feel responsible should he have an accident. I don’t know whether we will ever go on another trip together or even to a movie, but I am willing to go by myself or with a friend -- and my husband knows it. I have no idea where our marriage is headed after 24 years, but I am preparing myself to do whatever it takes. I don’t believe he would go for counseling, but I refuse to let him drive me anywhere ever again. -- Virginia Wife Dear Virginia: You are wise not to get into a car with this maniac. Since your husband is “wonderful” when he isn’t driving, however, please reconsider counseling. You don’t know how he will respond until you ask and make it clear
how unhappy you are about such manipulative, controlling behavior. (But go in separate cars.) Dear Annie: Members of my family love to extend invitations to birthday parties at a restaurant of their choice, and they expect you to bring a gift and pay for your own meal. It is my understanding that the host handles the food bill in expectation that the guests will bring gifts and have a great time. This is the way I have known it to be done. Now that I live in the South, social etiquette among my family members has become strained and has caused me to decline invitations. -- Confused in N.C. Dear Confused: The hosts should pay for the food. Unfortunately, many folks don’t realize this or don’t care. In your case, however, you already know that your relatives expect you to foot your own bill, so consider these invitations “pot luck” and accept or decline according to your preference. Dear Annie: I’m sorry it has taken me this long to reply to “Clueless on Cancer Etiquette.” It is refreshing to hear from someone who cares enough not to ask the wrong questions. I’m an 87-year-old WW II veteran with stage 4 cancer. I’d suggest “Clueless” be friendly, caring and cheerful, and not ask about their illness. Let them open the conversation about cancer if they want to discuss it. We want our friends to behave the same as always so we can enjoy each other’s company. When my wife was sick with cancer, her so-called “friends” stayed away as if she were contagious. Only one made any attempt to cheer her up by having breakfast with her every day. That was the only food my wife would eat, as she was otherwise too depressed. Thank you, “Clueless,” for your thoughtfulness. -- Mike
