Chickens may soon be welcome in all of Laconia By Michael Kitch
In May, Charles Drake of 27 Bay Street applied to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a variance to keep between four and six laying hens, with no rooster, in an existing shed on his 0.29-acre fenced lot. “I pushed this for other people,” Drake said yesterday, explain-

LACONIA — Barred from most parts of the city, chickens are finding champions who favor changes to the zoning ordinance that would permit residents to keep small flocks of laying hens.
ing that he knows others who want to keep chickens, but are reluctant to pay the fees and costs to apply for a variance, which in his case ran to $150. Drake said that only one abutter spoke to his request, the owner of an apartment building with seven units, who
asked if tenants complained of noise or smells, could the city remove the chickens. Another, Drake’s closest abutter, wrote to the board that he had no objections. The property is zoned “residential single family” (RS) where agriculture, which see CHICKENs page 11

LACONIA — Word spread quickly among residents of Hillcrest Drive this week when they learned that a convicted sex offender charged with an additional offense was released on bail and ordered to live with his brother in their neighborhood. Roger Toutaint, 54, of Gilmanton, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor sexual assault committed against a young girl in 2006 or 2007, was arrested after allegedly admitting to a second assault on a different victim, a disabled adult male, around the same time. Suspicions were raised during a routine polygraph test

Searchers scour seacoast for missing UNH student
DOVER (AP) — Searchers combed seacoast communities Friday for a 19-yearold University of New Hampshire student who disappeared after she made plans to visit friends earlier this week. Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young said investigators searched for Elizabeth “Lizzi” Marriott “from the sea, land and sky” and continued to hold out hope of finding her alive. Young said a bulletin was broadcast to police nationwide with Marriott’s description and that of the car she was driving — a tan 2001 Mazda Tribute. The family is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to her safe return. “At this point I would stress this is a missing person investigation,” Young said, adding that the legion of FBI agents and state and local investigators “does not mean that we think something nefarious see MISSING page 14

Nobel Peace Prize awarded to European Union BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Commission president had no reason to expect anything but another bad day. Then, out of the blue, after three years of back-biting and seemingly daily financial crisis, the European Union won the Nobel Peace Prize for fostering peace on a continent long ravaged by war. It was a badly needed morale boost for a 60-year-old union in the midst of a midlife crisis. Even as it announced the award Friday, the Norwegian prize jury warned that the
financial crisis challenging the 27-nation bloc’s unity could lead to a return to “extremism and nationalism.” It urged Europeans to remember the EU’s role in building peace and reconciliation among enemies who fought Europe’s bloodiest wars, even as they tackle the economic crisis that threatens its future. The award was hailed at EU headquarters in Brussels and by pro-EU leaders across Europe, but derided by “euroskeptics” who consider the EU an elitist superstate that erodes national identities.
Emerging for a brief encounter with reporters, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso was beaming as he declared: “Ladies and gentlemen, I have to say that when I woke up this morning, I did not expect it to be such a good day.” “The Nobel Peace Prize committee and the international community are now sending a very important message to Europe that the European Union is something very precious, that we should cherish it for the good of Europeans and for the good of see NOBEL PRIZE page 10
MINGORA, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani police have arrested a number of suspects in the case of a 14-year-old girl shot and wounded by the Taliban for promoting education for girls and criticizing the fundamentalist Islamic movement, officials said Friday. The shooting of Malala Yousufzai along with two classmates while they were on their way home from school Tuesday horrified people in Pakistan and internation-
ally. It has been followed by an outpouring of support for a girl who earned the enmity of the Taliban for publicizing their acts and speaking about the importance of education for girls. The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the shooting, saying that the girl was promoting “Western thinking.” Late on Thursday, a spokesman for one of the group’s branches in the country’s north said the top leadership of the Taliban’s
Swat Valley chapter decided two months ago to kill Yousufzai in a carefully planned attack after her family ignored repeated warnings. Police have been questioning people in the town of Mingora, in the Swat Valley, where the shooting took place. Mingora police chief Afzal Khan Afridi said arrests had been made, but he declined to give any details about the number of see PAKISTAN page 14

Romney says Biden ‘doubled down on denial’ over what happened at Libya consulate
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Broadening his attack on administration foreign policy, Mitt Romney accused Vice President Joe Biden on Friday of “doubling down on denial” in a dispute over security at a diplomatic post in Libya that was overrun by terrorists who killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. “The vice president directly contradicted the sworn testimony of State Department officials,” the Republican presidential candidate said, eager to stoke a controversy that has flared periodically since the attack on Sept. 11 “... American citizens have a right to know just what’s going on. And we’re going to find out.” President Barack Obama had no campaign appearances during the day, leaving it to White House press secretary Jay Carney to defend Biden’s assertion in a campaign debate Thursday night that “we weren’t told” of an official request for more security at the site. The spokesman rejected Romney’s claim of a contradiction. Biden “was speaking directly for himself and for the president. He meant the White House,” Carney said. With his accusation, Romney once again pushed foreign policy to the forefront of a campaign dominated for more than a year by the economy, which has been painfully slow to recover from the worst recession in more than a half century. The Republican challenger was campaigning across a pair of battleground states during the day, first in Virginia, which has 13 electoral votes, and then in Ohio, which has 18 electoral votes and where running mate Paul Ryan joined him. It takes 270 electoral votes to win the White House. Biden was in Wisconsin, Ryan’s home state, and one where polls give Obama a narrow lead despite a debate performance last week that was so poor it fueled a Republican comeback nationally and sent shudders through the ranks of Democratic partisans. More than a week later, officials in both parties describe a race that has largely returned to the competitive situation in effect last summer, before the national political conventions and the emergence of a videotape in which Romney spoke dismissively of nearly half the country propelled the president to significant gains in the polls. Now, many of the same surveys show a very tight race nationally and in most of the competitive states, although the president holds a small lead in public and private surveys in Ohio and Wisconsin. Still struggling to blunt or reverse Romney’s rise in the polls, Obama’s campaign launched two new ads in several of the contested states. One shows the see ROMNEY page 4
N.H. Attorney General declines to investigate Dartmouth trustees
CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire attorney general’s office says no investigation is warranted into anonymous allegations that Dartmouth College trustees mismanaged the college’s endowment. In a complaint made in February, an anonymous group accused trustees of investing a substantial portion of the college’s $3 billion endowment in companies they themselves own and argued that those investments both lost money and were not in Dartmouth’s best interests. But the attorney general’s office said Friday that it would not launch a formal investigation because there is no basis to conclude that trustees violated the law. Dartmouth spokesman Justin Anderson said that conclusion speaks to the rigor of Dartmouth’s policies and practices when it comes to endowment investments. He said the college meets or exceeds all legal requirements regarding investments.

Family & friends add name of late Todd Frazier to list of Belknap Mill ‘Bell Ringers’ By AdAm drApcho
LACONIA — For Todd Frazier, who died unexpectedly in February at the age of 57, the Belknap Mill meant a great deal. He began volunteering at the historic textile mill more than 30 years ago and eventually became employed as its caretaker. As much as the mill meant to him, though, he seemed to mean as much to the mill and the society that preserved it. Yesterday evening, in a ceremony at the historic site, Frazier’s family was presented with a replica of the mill’s bell, symbolizing the $5,000 his friends and family members had collected so that their departed loved one could be counted among the Belknap Mill Society’s “Bell Ringers.” George Roberts, president of the society, descrived Frazier as a “quiet person,” but one who tended to turn strangers into friends. “He was the type of person you’d always want to meet, exchange stories with.” Officially, Frazier was listed as the mill’s caretaker. As such, there was little to nothing at the mill that he couldn’t fix. However, it was his informal title as head tour guide that made the greatest impression. Roberts recalled watching Frazier give a tour to someone who walked in off the street, and by the end of
the tour the person was so impressed that he joined the society. “He did more than keep things operating, he really promoted the Belknap Mill Society,” said Roberts. “It’s an honor, we’re very happy and very proud,” said Sherwood Frazier, Todd’s bother. Todd grew up in Gilford, part of a family of three boys and two girls. He first came to know the mill through his mother, Louise, who had taken a similar shine to the historic structure and its preservation. A fan of the Boston Red Sox and science fiction and fantasy, Todd’s family members didn’t know how much their brother and uncle meant to others until his passing, “He did so many more things than members of our family even realized,” said Sherwood. Sherwood was joined by about eight other relatives, and many more friends, at the brief ceremony last night. One of those was Betty McGreevy, a member of the society’s board of directors. As she explained, Todd possessed both an extensive technical knowledge of the mill’s machinery and history, yet never “lectured” visitors to the mill. Instead, his quiet nature made guests feel at ease, and Todd could find a way to present the mill’s charms in a way that appealed to the visitor’s interests.
ROMNEY from page one the Republican being asked in a “60 Minutes” interview if it’s fair that he paid federal tax of about 14 percent last year on income of $20 million, while a $50,000 wage-earner paid a higher rate. “I think it’s the right way to encourage economic growth,” he says, and the narrator adds: “Lower tax rates for him than us. Is that the way to grow America?” The second commercial appears aimed at recent comments Romney made suggesting he might not make opposition to abortion a priority. “Maybe you’re wondering what to believe about
Mitt Romney,” it says, then shows him pledging to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood. Romney began the campaign week with a speech that criticized the Obama administration for showing a lack of leadership around the globe, particularly in the Middle East. And he chose to end it with a direct challenge to Biden’s candor about the attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya. “When the vice president of the United States directly contradicts the testimony, sworn testimony of State Department officials, American citizens have a right to know just what’s

McGreevy said she thinks of Todd often, especially when his skills would be useful. Such a time came recently when a large group from Epping visited and asked a series of ever-technical questions. McGreevy thought,
“Todd, if you were here, we could have used you today.” Sherwood said the gesture was much appreciated. “It was important to my family, Todd needs to be recognized for a long time.”
going on,” he said, referring to a hearing earlier in the week in a Republican-controlled House committee. One official testified before the panel that he had been criticized for seeking additional security at the facility. A second said she personally had turned down requests for more protection at the facility in Benghazi. Carney said, that despite Romney’s allegation, there was no contradiction between what Biden said and what the congressional committee had been told. “Requests for individual personnel at the thousands of facilities ... are not adjudicated at the White House,” the
spokesman said. “They are decided at the State Department.” Biden, campaigning in LaCrosse, Wis., did not mention Libya on the day after the debate. Instead, he mocked Ryan for having said on Thursday night that a House budget proposal that he authored would not lead to drastic spending cuts in Medicare, education and other areas. “Congressman Ryan saying his budget does not have spending cuts is like Gov.

LETTERS Really? Businesses & citizens of N.H. asked to pay higher fees? To the editor, I am once again responding to recent letters published in The Daily Sun, Citizen and Gilford Steamer submitted by the four Democrats who are running for the legislature to represent Meredith and Gilford. These four individuals have criticized me personally for my position — that the state has a spending problem not a revenue problem and “Myth-making”. The record is very clear on this issue. These are the same people, two of whom represented you in the Legislature, who voted to saddle the citizens of our state with many new taxes and fees, just three years ago. According to these four Democrats, “most of the fees raised during the terms in question were the result of requests coming from THOSE PAYING THE FEES! REALLY? The businesses and citizens of N.H. actually “asked” to pay higher fees and more taxes? Let me say that one more time — REALLY? According to their published letter, Bill Johnson and Lisa DiMartino of Gilford and Kate Miller and Sandy Mucci of Meredith, you, the citizens and business owners of this state, asked for a new LLC tax, an increased corporate tax, and an expansion of the business profits tax. So, let me get this straight, in a state with one of the highest business tax environments, businesses owners asked to be taxed more? Next, I have to wonder about the families and vacationers who “desired to pay a higher meals and room’s tax.” I wonder who can vouch for the fact that these families and visitors asked for their meal costs to go up so they could generously fund the $5,000 fee for room and meals licensees (the licensure fee required for any establishment to do business in the rooms and meals industry). Going on, I would be amazed that those who gamble might have offered to have their winnings taxed. Let us move on to the increased fees for auto and truck registration. Are we now to believe that car and truck owner begged the Democratic-controlled
Legislature to raise their cost of registering their means of transportation? How about this one? The people in the Lakes Region really “asked” for their representatives to double their boat registration fee — again I say, “Really?” These are just a few examples of the fees and taxes to which I have repeatedly referred. Have I made my point? Please do not insult the intelligence of the Meredith and Gilford voters. What these increased fees and taxes did was tell businesses to move out of N.H. — because it is too expensive to conduct business here. As corporations relocated to other states, they also took hard-earned income from the pockets of N.H. citizens at a time when they were being battered economically. I maintain my position — this was nothing more than an insidious scheme to cover their excessive spending. Moreover, these same individuals supported Governor Lynch, when he raided the Road Toll Fund of $8 million. Does this explain more clearly why the State’s Highway Department has limited funds for repairs? The Democrats also supported the governor when he confiscated $7 million from the State Pension Fund and forced the UNH trustees to forfeit $25 million from the UNH Trustees Trust Fund in a lame attempt to cover a state budget deficit of over $800 million. Along with my fellow Republicans, we constructed a budget that would close the deficit gap, balance the state’s budget, and restore funds for the handicapped and disabled. We know from history that borrowing and taxation stifle economic growth and hinders the return of revenue for needed services. The citizens of New Hampshire expect us to exercise good stewardship with their hard earned money. I am pleased to be able to say I did exactly that! Your vote for fiscal responsibility on Nov. 6th is extremely important to the future of New Hampshire. Rep. Colette Worsman Meredith
Andrew Hosmer is kind of person who actually digs in & acts To the editor, I write to support Andrew Hosmer for New Hampshire State Senate. I’ve known Andrew for the better part of 20 years. Andrew has not only been a colleague of mine, but also a good friend to me and my family. He is someone I trust to make decisions with common sense, ethics and civility. Andrew will be a senator we can all be proud of. Andrew is a skilled businessman. He’s played a significant role in managing a large and successful local business by focusing on building revenues and controlling expenses. These two skills will be a great asset in balancing our state budget. Andrew is also a skilled manger of people. He successfully manages dozens of employees by holding them accountable and encouraging them to fulfill their potential. He listens to opposing viewpoints in a respectful manner, works to build consensus among his peers and then takes decisive action to achieve a goal. In
unable and unwilling to work together, Andrew’s skills will allow him to work well with others, regardless of party. This is the fresh approach needed to get Concord back on track and lead the way in preserving the New Hampshire Advantage. What I believe best shows Andrew’s character is the commitment he and his family have made to our community. Whether it’s a family recovering from a natural disaster or raising money for schools and non-profits, Andrew, his family, his in-laws (Paul and Brigid Gaudet) and their company (AutoServ) are always ready, willing and able to lend a hand. Andrew isn’t someone who merely preaches about what to do – he is someone who actually digs in and acts. Andrew will be a state senator we can be proud of and someone who will work tirelessly for New Hampshire. Please vote for Andrew Hosmer for State Senate, District 7. Andy Madore
LETTERS Andrew Hosmer has the more substantive leadership experience To the editor, While the current N.H. biennium has been a challenge to the citizenry, our municipalities and the private and public sectors, the next state biennium could be even more so. Even larger economic and societal challenges will potentially arise. Effective State Senate representation for District 7 (which includes Laconia) is essential so those potential challenges are mitigated and not compounded for us at the state level. In the contentious political and ideological environment that plays out in a campaign, it is important to keep your bearings of what is really important in choosing the candidates you support. As a whole, we are a state that places a high value on local/state control while at the same time promoting community and self reliance. We arrive there based upon blending the values of the many political and ideological perspectives people hold, including the concept of our N.H. Advantage and where it stands, and the general economic conditions we face. As an example, when you look at something like how the current Huot Technical Center project came together, in particular the partnerships it took to launch and to advance it, I believe it epitomizes what the “secret sauce” is to make progress in
the environment we find ourselves living in for the foreseeable future. Said another way, “form follows financing” . . . it is the more limited resources we have at all levels and as individuals that requires a more creative approach to realize results. Whether we are talking job creation, or improving infrastructure, education, and health care, how we will make progress in the times ahead is by leveraging the strength and fabric of our communities with the private sector, and the local, state and federal governments through partnering. This in turn requires exercising leadership skill and having the temperament to facilitate these types of partnerships. In the District 7 race, Andrew Hosmer both professionally and in public service is the individual I feel has the more substantive leadership experience, life experience and partnering skills to serve as a catalyst to accomplish the type of public, private and community relationships integral to our future success. On November 6th in the Senate District 7 race, please join me in supporting Andrew Hosmer; our next State Senator is one of the most important positions representing us given N.H.’s legislative structure and the challenges we face ahead. Henry Lipman Laconia
Is divorce really an issue N.H. voters will base their decision on? To the editor, I am a Massachusetts resident, appalled by the diversion of the real issues in Massachusetts by bringing attention to someone’s heritage and the accusations made against Elizabeth Warren. I am a summer and weekend resident of Laconia, so, it is disheartening to see that the same behavior goes on in New Hampshire. It is not so much an opponent of Josh Youssef who is dishing the dirt, but a divorce attorney who takes advantage of a public official’s campaign to get negative publicity for his client, and bring the Youssefs’ divorce to the forefront to destroy a candidate’s potential. We’re in a sad state of affairs. Since the estimated rate of divorce is between 40-50 percent in America and may be only 30 percent in New Hamp-
cent of the voters have gone through their own divorces and that Attorney Mosca’s exposing the Youssefs’ divorce just might bring about a surprise outcome — Josh Youssef may get sympathy votes from many voters who have experienced negative divorce attorney proceedings. What are the issues in New Hampshire that voters will make a decision on? Divorce? Building the economy? Creating jobs? Protecting liberty and freedom? From reading the local papers, one would think the campaign is about a private matter and that an election of a candidate depends on it. Give the voters of New Hampshire the opportunity to hear the issues, so they can vote on the integrity of the issues and not on the Hollywood-like gossip that has filled the papers.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, October 13, 2012 — Page 7
LETTERS Big TV network employees put mouths where there money is To the editor, There has been a lot of discussion lately about the role of media in influencing elections. I think some readers may be quite misinformed about the source of all this bias. I submit that the majority of networks and reporters as well as major newspapers lean left and that their coverage reflects those personal views. A recent report was released showing that in 2008, the Democratic Party received a total of $1,020,816 given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks (NBC, CBS, and ABC) It also showed that the Republican Party received only $142,863 via 193 donations over the same period. I think we can safely assume that these employees and networks are putting their mouth where their money is. In a survey conducted by the American Society of Newspaper Editors in 1997, 61 percent of reporters stated that they were member of or shared the beliefs of the Democrat Party, only 15 percent say their beliefs were best represented by the Republican Party. I would be hard pressed to assume that personal beliefs have no impact on what is chosen to be covered and the perspective in which it is covered. In fact a 2002 study by Jim A. Kuypers of Dartmouth College studied 116 mainstream U.S. papers, including the New York Times, The Washington post, Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle. In the study he found that the press in America tends to favor liberal viewpoints. They stated that reporters who thought they were expressing moderate or conservative points of view were often actually holding a minority point of view quite to the left of most of the electorate. Here is what I think has happened. Journalism schools are admittedly left leaning, so they produce left leaning students who pursue careers in the field. When these students are hired and begin working in the field, they associate with likeminded journalists. Like the old saying goes, fish swim in water but do they know that they are wet? They may never even think about it because that is the environment in which they have always lived. Journalists may not be intentionally biased, but they have a self-reinforcing world view that is rarely challenged. In essence they live in a bubble. I assume this is the same with many people out there that have grown up with ABC, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC as their source of information. They live in a sea of liberalism and do not even understand that they are all wet. Just looking at viewership numbers should tell us that the majority of people in the country are not connecting with the three broadcast networks, CNN, or MSNBC. They have tiny and/or shrinking audiences and polls show that only 8 percent of the country trusts them to be unbiased.
Newspaper subscriptions and revenues are dropping off a cliff. Fox News, and talk radio on the other hand have thriving growing audiences in the tens of millions.People have found a home in these sources of information that they feel they can trust, and that reflects a common sense point of view. Liberals can shout, call names and demonize, but in doing so, they are only insulting the audience that follows these networks. Bias is too easy to detect these days when there are lots of other sources of information. It would be helpful if those who try to discredit Fox News, or talk radio would bring some example of the lies and distortions they claim to the argument— simple name calling is pretty unconvincing and just demeans and discredits the name caller. In a study conducted about media and its coverage of the 2008 presidential elections by the Project for Excellence in Journalism at Harvard some interesting information was uncovered. This study found that CNN was the worst in terms of bias of all cable networks. CNN covered Republicans in a negative light by a margin of three-to-one! As far as print stories in the major newspapers including the New York Times, Democrats got much more positive coverage than Republicans. Fully 59 percent of all stories about Democrats had a clear, positive message vs. 11 percent that carried a negative tone. As far as Fox News goes, stories about a Republican candidate were most likely to be neutral (47 percent), with the remainder more positive than negative (32 percent vs. 21 percent). When it came to Democrat coverage at Fox, neutral stories had a slight edge (39 percent), followed by 37 percent negative and 24 percent positive. On MSNBC the coverage for Democrats was slanted 47.2 percent positive, 34.1 percent neutral, and only 18.7 percent negative When you aggregate all coverage of the presidential candidates in all sources of media for 2008 the balance was overwhelmingly in favor of Obama. The friendly coverage of Obama was 47 percent positive vs. just 12 percent positive for McCain. Lastly, looking overall at the three major networks, CBS, NBC, and ABC you find that the breakdown of the tone coverage for Democrats was 39.5 percent positive, 43.4 percent neutral, and 17.1 percent negative. For Republicans the breakdown was 18.6 percent positive, 44.2 percent neutral, and 37.2 percent negative. For PBS, you find that Republicans received 0 percent positive stories, and while the bulk of coverage on PBS was neutral, at least Democrats received 8.3 percent positive coverage. Based on these numbers, I will let you make your own decision about where bias lies in the media. Terry Lewis Sanbornton
12 jurors gave up 2 weeks so judge could overturn their verdict? To the editor, I am writing to the people of New Hampshire in an effort to clarify information and to get the record straight regarding the civil suit brought against the State of New Hampshire more specifically, the Department of Safety by now retired Detective James Conrad. I believe an article should be titled “Judge vs. Jury” The unfortunate incident that ultimately lead to this suit occurred on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 28, 2007, when Detective Conrad was unlawfully detained at State Police Headquarters for several hours and against his will simply because he requested advise from legal council during an internal interview, a RIGHT given to each and every citizen of the United States when unfavorable accusations are made against that person. Subsequently there have been three distinct and separate hearing/trails in which have all unanimously been in favor of Detective Conrad. The last of which was a civil suit heard in the Merrimack Superior Court. On May 18, 2012, after hearing nine days of testimony the jury came back with a verdict awarding Detective Conrad $1.5-million for the improper and
unlawful actions of the Department of Safety. On July 2, 2012, Judge Larry Smukler, overturned the verdict merely on his option in a direct verdict, which is normally done prior to a jury hearing a case, not after. So the question I have for the citizens and potential future jurors is. Should a Judge have the power to over-turn a unanimous jury verdict solely because he doesn’t agree? I say NO. It undermines the American judicial and jury system. We have a jury system to be fair. Twelve individuals deliberate and make a unanimous verdict, not one person. A judge is an overseer to advise on law, not his opinion. So I ask the people of the state, is this the judicial system you want? I’m sure you have all heard or even used the term, “It’s Politics.” I think that we have been to kind, and believe that it is nothing but government corruption at its finest. It is unfortunate that 12 jurors gave up two weeks of their lives, received nearly nothing for their time and for what? For a judge to basically say “I really don’t care what you think.” Stacey M. Harrison Laconia
We’re lucky to have Suzanne Smith speaking for us in Concord To the editor: Suzanne Smith, who is running for re-election to the N.H. House representing Hebron, Holderness, and Plymouth, is truly a representative of the people. During the last legislative session, I attended two hearings where she testified on behalf of issues that were important to me, as well as to the well being of our state. As an investor in a small hydroelectric facility in Campton, I was pleased to see Smith testify to support a Senate bill last spring that will likely make it possible for us to stay in business. That bill passed and finally makes small hydros eligible for Renewable Energy credits, which newer renewable technologies such as solar and wind receive. Smith visited our plant to see first-hand how it operates and to understand the issues that make it difficult for this small, tax-paying business to survive. We are very grateful for her testimony. Smith also testified against a House bill that would have taken local control away from cities and towns and placed
it with the state. Fortunately, the bill was not passed. The issue concerns the Current Use Change Tax. “Current use” enables families with large tracts of land to keep their land at a reduced tax rate as long as the land is used for specific use, such as logging or agriculture. Over half of New Hampshire municipalities participate in this option. If the land is taken out of current use (e.g., for development), a tax penalty is charged, so that the town reclaims the taxes. State law gives towns and cities the option to use the monies collected from the land use change tax for conservation, or to preserve open land. Towns deserve to receive these funds and decide what to do with them. Smith is smart, honest, and an effective representative. We’re lucky to have her speaking out for us in Concord, and I look forward to her continued representation over the next two years. Linda Walsh Plymouth

LETTERS Rise in anti-Americanism & rise of radical Islam scares me
Americans have been lied to about deaths of diplomats in Libya
To the editor, Christianity versus Islam. The U.S. Constitution versus Sharia Law. The Bible versus the Koran. Respecting women and those with same sex attraction versus honor killings, degradation of females and the stoning of homosexuals. Democrats and liberals increasingly display their dislike for Christianity. They increasingly seem perplexed by the constraints of the Constitution while entertaining the idea that a little Sharia Law might be okay in this country. I have a pretty good understanding as to how and why the modern day liberal mind has attained those beliefs, though I heartily disagree with them. Now, they certainly are the party that is respectful of women’s rights and the gay community. Certainly, far more so than Republicans and conservatives. At least that is what most in the mainstream media, academia and the Hollywood elite believe. Children in high school and college have had that concept drilled into their easily pliable minds during their formative years. I know because it was drilled into my head and so for decades I felt rather morally superior, secure in the knowledge that I was a liberal and on the side of compassion for minorities of all stripes. It’s all pure tripe and for the progressive liberal, reality about the truth really bites. As I reached the sixth decade of my life, I began to question some of the preconceptions that I had for so long, taken for granted. Now, I have never been nor will I ever be mistaken for a person of superior intellect. Still, I have come to take umbrage at the liberal misconceptions taught to me, that I accepted without performing any do diligence. That would be the same umbrage articulated by superior intellects such as Thomas Sowell, David Horowitz and John Stossel. My “late in life” enlightenment has endowed me with double minority status. A male toiling in the human service field is standard minority fare . Now, I am also a conservative/ libertarian working in the field. I am used to the Republican/right wing jokes slung around at meetings and conferences where no one can even fathom that there might be one of “those”, present in the group. About as easily accepted as a black toiling for the tea party. Just ask Lloyd Marcus. Anyway, I take no umbrage with those remarks. I actually find the irony deliciously humorous, especially when it occurred at a diversity conference. Political correctness and multiculturalism no longer curtail me from open and honest debate. Which brings
To the editor, The latest letter from Dr. Thomas Dawson is full of more than just the excrement from male cows, it is chock full of outright lies. Wow! That is all I can say when I see someone spouting so many lies in trying to accuse someone else of lying. I also find it interesting that Tom’s rant is almost word for word the rant Chris Mathews spun after the debate. I guess I know where you get your thoughts Tom, since it appears you can’t do any research or think for yourself. The Obama campaign, embarrassed with the president’s performance at the debate has decided to take on the tact that “Romney is a liar” since they have no facts to support their case. What Socrates once said, when the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser comes to mind. This tactic is being used most forcefully with the claim that Romney’s tax plan will cut revenues by $5-trillion and cost the middle class more in taxes. The Obama campaign is using a study from the Tax Policy Center, which was written by Princeton Economist Harvey Rosen and Harvard Economist Martin Feldstein. This study was revised because some of the assumptions were incorrect and this revision supports what Romney is saying. In fact Harvey Rosen said in an interview with the Huffington Post there is no way that Obama’s claim is accurate. He said “The paper shows that if you look at individual taxpayers with incomes of $200,000 or more, there is sufficient revenue from base broadening and growth to make up for the revenue lost from lower tax rates. Therefore, there is no need to make up revenue from groups with below $200,000.” He also says that by increasing the broadening of the base and with growth greater than
me to the question of the day that I would pose for those of you who also enjoy open and honest debate and are able to speak freely even when not confined within the imaginary walls of a university “free speech zone”. Why does the progressive left appear to embrace some suicidal, psychological affinity for radical Islam? Blogger J.T. Hatter says that it derives from “a shared belief that America is the Great Satan and must be destroyed”. David Horowitz claims that it has to do with the left who embraces socialism// communism as a means to destroy America’s capitalism and exceptionalism. Michael Prell claims it is due to “Underdogma”, a belief that those who have less power are virtuous and noble and those who have more power are to be scorned, just because they have more power. Still, the bizarro paradox perpetuated by this dangerous juxtaposition strikes at the very core of decency, morality and common sense. Concepts that have allowed this country to survive and thrive. My plea to modern day liberal progressives is this: how can you side with an ideology that hangs homosexuals; stones adulterers; abuses and rapes women and children; beheads non-believers; tortures and kills Americans? Why do progressives condone that behavior as displayed by the Palestinians and yet demand that Israel stand down? Why does our president and his adoring acolytes provide cover for them, apologize to them and threaten American citizens with a curtailment of free speech after they murder us? The Islamofacists interpret our weakness as an open provocation to attack us. Michael Prell says that “compassion should never involve self-destruction”. An ancient Arab proverb says, “a falling camel attracts many knives”. So how do we convince the “progressive left” that crushing American exceptionalism and promoting multiculturalism is destroying our borders, language and culture and will soon cause the demise of this republic? All I know is, the rise in anti-Americanism and the parallel ascendancy of radical Islam scares me to death and that ain’t no camel dung! Why would anyone again, vote for a president who has such distaste for the works of John Adams and James Madison, yet embraces the philosophy of Karl Marx and Mao Tse Tung? If this country has a chance to remain the “beacon on the hill”, then President Obama has to be “one and done”. Russ Wiles Tilton
Wasn’t main reason people came here freedom of religion? To the editor, Mr. Demakowski, In response to your letter in the 10/12 edition I have a few questions. Whose God? Which Religion? What happened to the separation of church and state in the Constitution? What happened to equal rights under the Constitution? Wasn’t the main reason for people coming here, separating from England and in developing a Constitution,
so people would be able to believe in their God and practice their religion as they chose, live their lives freely and to have a say in the government? Do you honestly think that turning a democracy into a theocracy would work? Do you actually think that all people believe the same, that all people believe in God or that everyone interprets the bible the same way? Nancy Parsons Laconia
expected that those individuals with incomes below $200,000 could actually pay less in taxes while keeping the plan revenue neutral. Tommy Boy also says that he doesn’t want a president or vice president whose interaction with the American citizen is a series of lies and distortion. I agree with Tom on this issue and wonder why he isn’t applying the same standard to President Obama. The American citizen has been lied to about the death of four diplomats in Libya. This president repeatedly denied requests from the Chief of Embassy Security in Libya to bring the security for our diplomats there to the minimum standard. This president denies that his administration, during the overthrow of Gadhafi gave Al Qaeda, Libya the weapons used in the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi. President Obama has lied about this video and doesn’t mention that he had the FBI arrest the Egyptian-American Muslim for posting the video online. We still being told that the situation is too dangerous for the FBI to enter Benghazi but they don’t tell us that reporters from every major news organization and a Representative to Congress have examined the compound. We have a sitting president who so desperately wants to be re-elected that he won’t tell the American public that he is responsible for not taking any preventive action to prevent the first attack on America by Al Qaeda since 2001. This isn’t the first lie he has told us but it is the most recent. President Obama is counting on receiving votes from people that don’t know how to research the facts or to think for themselves, which is what makes Tom such a good follower and supporter. Greg Knytych New Hampton
Josh Youssef has pledged to open computer store in Franklin To the editor, I find it odd that Mr. Hosmer’s supporters question Josh Youssef’s commitment to the communities of District 7, particularly Franklin. Mr Youssef was the first, and to date, only, candidate for Senate to have a campaign office in Franklin (the only District 7 office in Merrimack county) Mr. Youssef is also the only candidate for Senate who has held open to the public, walk-in town hall style meetings to meet the average John and Jane Citizen in Franklin. Mr. Youssef is the only Senate candidate to put forward a specific plan to revitalize Main Street, specifically for Franklin. Further, Josh Youssef is the only can-
didate for N.H. Senate who has put his money where his mouth is, pledging to open a Same Day Computer location right in downtown Franklin. So when Mr. Hosmer and his campaign insults Mr. Youssef and the intelligence of the people of District 7 by pretending that Mr. Youssef doesn’t care about Franklin because he is spending time with his son, we should all condemn these blatant falsities, and I encourage voters to ask themselves “What has Mr. Hosmer done for District 7?” and when you answer that question, you will know who is worthy of your vote. Nick Zaricki Laconia
Why is it hard for ‘concerned citizen’ to admit he’s a Democrat? To the editor, Dear Mr. A. Scott Knowles: You are a Democrat. Not that there is anything wrong with this, but I do feel it is pertinent information that was somehow omitted from your letter. You wrote that you are a “concerned citizen”, I’m guessing that you meant to write “Hosmer supporter” and it was a typo? In any case, if you ever read this newspaper or went online in the

LETTERS To suggest Forrester doesn’t understand that bill is ridiculous To the editor, I was interested to read a recent letter to the editor from Lisa Merrill of Meredith about an event in Danbury hosted by Selectman Jim Phelps for Senator Forrester. Since I was at the event, I can speak to her diatribe. She said, “I made the long trip because this was the only public speaking opportunity at which Mrs. Forrester has appeared during the campaign.” Merrill is dead wrong. Since Jeanie announced her reelection effort back in April, she has hosted many events where the public has been invited, including Meredith, Tilton, Bristol, Haverhill, and Plymouth. I am not sure whose website Merrill is looking at because if you go to Jeanie’s website, www.jeanieforrester.com you will see more than just private house parties. Regarding Merrill’s suggestion
that Jeanie did not seek input from the education community to get their opinion before casting her vote, Merrill is again dead wrong. Jeanie talked with the Commissioner of Education, various superintendents of the schools, educators, school board members, and parents in her district. Finally, Merrill’s assertion that Jeanie doesn’t understand the education tax credit, once again Merrill is dead wrong. I’ll grant that Jeanie’s response might have been a little too complex for Lisa, but to suggest Jeanie doesn’t understand the bill is ridiculous. What I know is true is that Jeanie does her homework, asks questions, and is very thoughtful before casting her vote on any legislation. A vote for Jeanie is a vote for thoughtful representation in Concord. Let’s Keep Jeanie. Duane Brown Wentworth
We’re fortunate to have Shea-Porter willing to represent us in D.C. To the editor, I am voting for Carol Shea-Porter for Congress. As Representative for N.H. District 1 from 2007-2011, she spoke up for the bottom 99 percent — not just the wealthy and privileged. Shea-Porter worked to raise the federal minimum hourly wage to its current value of $7.25 and co-sponsored the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act that allows workers to challenge unfair pay in the workplace. She also cosponsored a bill to protect U.S. troops from disposal of toxic wastes and was able to expand health care for N.H. veterans. Her support for increased Pell grants for college students shows her commitment to young people. She voted for the Affordable Health
Care for America Act (so-called ObamaCare) and worked to ensure that the Medicare Part D “donut hole” was closed in the final bill. Among its many provisions, this bill allows young adults to be covered by their parents’ insurance until the age of 26, ends discrimination against people with pre-existing conditions, and provides tax credits to small businesses for insurance costs. We are fortunate to have someone with Carol Shea-Porter’s commitment to the welfare of all Americans willing to represent us in Congress again. Please join me in voting for her on November 6th.

Our ‘Live Free or Die’ motto & Obama shouldn’t be in same sentence To the editor, I cannot fathom how the voters of the great State Of New Hampshire like myself, who pride ourselves on the LFOD motto could even consider supporting Obama for another term. Look who this man surrounds himself with. Starting with his pastor, professors and Reed and Pelosi, etc; you judge a man by the company he keeps. I personally despise Obama and his radical and socialist agenda, how did he put it in 2008, “I want to fundamentally change America”. A recent Obama TV ad showed
our flag with a big O where the stars should be, promoting his re-election. He recently said he can make decisions on his own, outside the Congress or Senate. He has repeatedly challenged the laws of our Constitution regarding ObamaCare, never mind church and state. If the McCarthy Hearings were held today, this president would be held for TREASON. Pres.Clinton history will say, only ruined a dress. Pres. Obama ruined a country. Tom Sellew Lochmere

Expansion of Ellacoya Grill opposed by condo owners; compromise sought By Gail OBer
GILFORD — Abuttors to the Ellacoya Barn and Grill have challenged the Planning Board’s September decision to allow the restaurant to expand both its seating and parking capacity. The project has been before either the Zoning Board of Adjustments or the Planning Board for about 18 months and both sides are still working to resolve their differences. The Mineral Springs Village Association — a condominium complex — abuts the business on two sides and has three major issues it feels are still not resolved: a 15-foot, dense vegetative screening between the restaurant property and the condo, proper drainage so runoff from the increase parking doesn’t go onto Mineral Springs Property, and proper sewage disposal. It has asked both the Belknap County Superior Court and the Gilford Zoning Board to overrule the Planning Board’s decision to allow the project to go forward, claiming the decision violates the town’s own ordinances regarding sewage, runoff and proper screening. The request to add 859-squarefeet to the building, 85 seats and 77 parking spaces was first presented to the Zoning Board in early 2011 and repeatedly reworked until September of 2011 when, in a 4-0-with-oneabstention vote members gave him permission to locate a cistern in the required 50-foot buffer zone. Without the cistern, said Ellacoya’s
lawyer Patrick Wood said to the ZBA, owner Steve Buzzotta can’t expand his building and without the addition he can’t expand his business. The proposed buffer area was the only place a cistern could go and still preserve a fire lane and a handicap parking spot. He also said the Ellacoya Barn and Grill — in one form or another — has always been a restaurant in a commercial area and predates Mineral Springs. After the September 2011 ZBA variance was awarded, the project moved to the Planning Board and was adjusted and re-engineered repeatedly until last month when the site plan was approved. Wood said there will be a fencing installed between the two, a 2-foot berm, as opposed to a one foot berm, will be installed to control runoff, a grease trap will be installed in the Ellacoya’s drainage system and the dumpster will be moved so it doesn’t abut the condominiums. He said, from his prospective, there is no longer a role for the Zoning Board. The next Zoning Board meeting is scheduled for October 23, however the planning department’s administrator said yesterday that Mineral Springs has requested the matter be postponed. Town Administrator Scott Dunn said Thursday he was hopeful the issues between the two could come to an accord within a month and that there would be no need for judicial or Zoning Board intervention.

CHICKENS from page one includes keeping poultry, is not a permitted use. The board denied his request and refused to reconsider it. However, in the course of the proceedings, the board discovered that the wording of the ordinance bearing on agriculture is flawed and appointed a sub-committee to review and revise it. As written, the ordinance forbids not only keeping chickens but also planting gardens — even growing flowers — in most parts of the city. Planning Director Shanna Saunders said this week that she expected that among other things the sub-committee to recommend lifting the prohibition against keeping chickens and draft an ordinance specifying the conditions for doing so. If so, the city would be joining a growing trend among municipalities across the country that caught the attention of the national media some five years ago. In the past two years more than 500 cities and towns have amended local ordinances to enable residents to keep small flocks. Karen Barker, who with her husband Tom keeps a rooster, 10 hens and four chicks along with ten “meat birds” at their home on Lane Road, near the Robbie Mills Sports Complex in the Rural Residential District where poultry is welcome, said that more and more cities and towns are allowing residents to keep small flocks in even the most densely developed and heavily populated neighborhoods. Last December, Concord amended its ordinance, which had confined chickens to lots of an acre or more, to allow residents of smaller lots to keep as many as five hens, but no roosters. Selling eggs as well as either breeding or slaughtering chickens on the property are expressly prohibited. The ordinance stipulates that chickens must be kept in coops and fenced and not let to roam free. Coops and enclosures must be located in side or rear yards set back 30 feet from any lot line. No more than three cubic feet of manure may be stored in a close container. A proposal to charge a $25 fee for a building permit to construct a chicken coop was rejected. The city council intends to revisit the issue in September 2013. Barker said that while many municipalities have adopted lifted or relaxed restrictions on keeping chickens, they have imposed conditions, particularly setbacks, that limit the number of property owners able to do so. “It is all about the conditions,” she emphasized. Barker dismissed the major concerns that are routinely raised against proposals to allow chickens to be kept in urban settings. Noise, she said, is easily dealt with by forbidding roosters, a common feature of most ordinances. Likewise, she said that small
Karen Barker offers a treat of bread crumbs to some of the chickens she keeps in her yard on Lane Road in Laconia. She wants to see residents in all parts of the city be able to keep a few of the birds, if they, choose, and not just people who live in the Rural Residential Zone.

flocks of between four and six hens produce little waste or odor, noting that the daily droppings of a half-dozen hens are equivalent to those of medium to large dog. Moreover, chicken manure serves as high-nitrogen fertilizer and mixed with yard waste makes excellent compost. Nor are chickens a source of disease. Since avian influenza is carried in the feces of migratory birds and salmonella in uncooked chicken, small flocks of laying hens pose no risk of either. from preceding page work. The prize will do nothing to balance out-ofkilter national budgets or spur economic growth in Greece or bring down the borrowing costs of some of the weaker countries that use the euro, such as Spain. Nor will it provide solace to the unemployed. “For them, people may even think that this is cynical,” said Paul De Grauwe, an economist with the London School of Economics. “If I were living in Portugal or Spain or Greece, I would be upset about it:

‘They are giving this prize to these people in Brussels, and they are the source of my misery.’” Still, there seems little doubt that the European Union has played a major role in bringing peace to a continent that had known precious little of it. Growing out of the devastation of World War II, the premise of the project was that closer economic interdependence would ensure that centuries-old enemies never again turn on each other.

Some municipalities register chickens just as dogs, Barker said, indicating that registration accompanied by a fee might be appropriate to keep track of those keeping chickens and defray any costs the city may incur in monitoring them. At the same time, she said that “chicken keepers” are willing and able to assist those wishing to keep chickens themselves. “I love talking to people about keeping chickens,” said Barker, who also offered to contribute to drafting an appropriate ordinance.

HILLCREST from page one that is administered as part of his probation and police say the confession was made during a followup interview. When Toutaint was arraigned on Wednesday, Judge Jim Carroll of the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division found probable cause for his arrest, but released him on $200,000 personal recognizance bail on condition that he live at 289 Hillcrest Drive, not enter the town of Gilmanton, obey a curfew, comply with the terms of his probation and continue with treatment in the sex offender program. “I can’t understand why he was ordered to live in this neighborhood,” one woman said. “There are 25 kids under 18 in this neighborhood, ranging in age from seven months. You can’t look out the window without seeing children. What was the judge thinking,” she asked. “It’s very upsetting.” Hillcrest Drive is a closed loop off White Oaks Road lined on both sides by more than 40 homes. “This is a close-knit neighborhood,” another

woman noted, adding that once the news appeared in the newspaper “word spread very fast.” One resident spoke with the police only to learn that nothing could be done to change Carroll’s order. Police Chief Chris Adams said that he understood and sympathized with the concerns of the neighbors, but explained that apart from being aware of the situation there was nothing for the police to do as long as Toutaint obeyed the conditions of his bail and the terms of his probation. The first woman said that school bus used to pick up and drop off elementary children at stops around the loop, but has taken to leaving them on White Oaks Road in the afternoon. She said that in the circumstances she asked the company to take the children to their homes in the afternoon. Otherwise, she said that neighbors were arranging a meeting this weekend “to get everybody on the same page and keep an eye out everybody’s children. We’ve always worked well together as a neighborhood. “We are not angry mob running carrying on or running after anyone,” another woman remarked. “We’re all part of this neighborhood, including the man’s family. You can’t really overreact. But, we really do watch out for everybody.”

The field, which will feature an artificial playing surface durable enough to support near-constant use by athletes of many sports, will be named Fitzgerald Field in honor of long-time football coach Jim Fitzgerald. Several of his former players have collected donations of more than $100,000 to secure the naming right. Many others have donated more modest amounts by sponsoring bricks and paving stones which will pave the walkway into the stadium. Those engraved pavers can be sponsored for $125, $250 or $1,000, depending on the size. Superintendent Bob Champlin said sponsorship of the pavers will continue to be available even after the walkway has been laid. Champlin and Lahey said they were in contact with a few potential benefactors who might be willing to push the campaign closer to its goal, and that the drive might continue past the $1-million mark if the momentum continues to be strong. “We have several items pending,” said Champlin. “The goal is continuing the momentum throughout the community, throughout the Lakes Region.” By raising more than the $1 million, the district can look to complete projects that were excluded from final plans due to cost considerations. Those items include replacing old windows on the high school, new rooftop air handling units, repairing old concrete architectural features or granite steps, or con-

structing an enclosed walkway between the old high school building and the new Huot structure. “We’re trying to make a big push to make a significant improvement to the school,” said Lahey, adding that the city has made the decision to keep the school on its present campus for the forseeable future, disposing of proposals to remove the school from its center-city location. “Whatever we invest now will be here for many years to come,” added City Councilor Bob Hamel. Much of the campus’s improvements are already underway. Thursday marked a critical point in the construction of the new Huot building at the school, with the pouring of 600 yards of cement for the structure’s foundation. “We’re now ready for steel,” said Champlin. “This is a milestone.” Steel beams for the building are expected to arrive later this month. The project’s timeline calls for the building to be “buttoned up” with a temporary envelope by the onset of winter weather. Site work for the athletic facility will begin next week. That part of the project will entail the removal of massive pine trees and the excavation of the large hill behind the school. Renovations to part of the Huot Technical Center have already been completed. The pre-engineering, manufacturing, automotive and building construction spaces “are basically done,” said Champlin. Lahey said the upgraded facilities are seen by the city as an investment in the community’s economic well-being. “There was a time when Laconia
was known for its manufacturing — the feeling on the City Council is that America needs to starting making stuff. This is a part of that,” Lahey said. Hamel added that the local manufacturing operations often complain that they have job openings but can’t find qualified employees. With the new technical center, students should be able to transition easily from classroom to career. “Local kids will be able to stay here,” he said, instead of leaving their home community in search of employment. “They could go right to work.” The addition to the Huot Center is expected to be complete by the end of the academic year. When several programs move into the new space, the large area they vacate in the old building will be converted into several new science labs, further adding to the improvements at the school. As Hamel said, “The kids that come out of this program will really have an edge.” “Community support for this has been incredible,” Hamel continued, noting that numerous alumni, from all walks of life and corners of the globe, have shown surprising amounts of pride for their alma mater. “They’ve been really behind this project, it’s been a real eye-opener.”

MISSING from page 2 has happened to Lizzi.” “We are not losing hope in this case,” Young said. Young said investigators are not ruling out anything, including the possibility that Marriott’s car went off the road or foul play. Young also said investigators know the identities of the friends Marriott was planning to meet and have contacted them. Family members and friends blanketed the Dover area Friday with colored flyers bearing two photos of her and the statement that her cellphone was last used in Dover at 10:11 p.m. Tuesday. Marriott attended a class at the university Tuesday night and made plans to visit friends in Dover. Lizzi Marriott’s grandmother, Susan Marriott, was tending the phone at the Chester home where her granddaughter lives while other family members were out handing out fliers
and searching for her. “I’m just holding down the fort here in case a call comes from her, which would be such a godsend,” Susan Marriott said. She said the FBI and other investigators were at the house for much of the day interviewing family members. “She is a good student and she’s hard-working,” her grandmother said. “She is a person that doesn’t have a multitude of friends but she has good friends, a small group of good friends.” Lizzi Marriott is a 2011 graduate of Westborough High School in Massachusetts. She lives with an aunt in Chester, N.H., and commutes to the Durham campus. The Chester Police Department, where the missing person report was filed, is serving as headquarters for the investigation. Young, who heads her office’s criminal bureau, was in Chester on Friday to help marshal resources and assist in the investigation. She also super-

PAKISTAN from page 2 people detained or what role they’re suspected of having in the shooting. He said he did not want to endanger the ongoing investigation. Interior Minister Rehman Malik told reporters Friday that the two gunmen who staged the attack were not among those arrested, but he said investigators had identified the masterminds of the shooting and efforts were under way to capture all those involved. The Taliban spokesman, Sirajuddin Ahmad, said Yousufzai’s family had been warned three times — the most recent warning coming last week — before the decision was made to kill her. Ahmad said local Taliban leader Maulana Fazlullah and his deputies selected three attackers, including two trained sharpshooters, who carefully studied the girl’s route home from school. Even before the Taliban took over the Swat Valley, Fazlullah’s radio broadcasts spread fear among residents in the area. The group first started to exert its influence in 2007
and quickly extended its reach to much of the valley by the next year. They set about imposing their will on residents by forcing men to grow beards, preventing women from going to the market and blowing up many schools — the majority for girls. Malala wrote about these practices in a journal for the BBC under a pseudonym when she was just 11. After the Taliban were pushed out of the valley in 2009 by the Pakistani military, she became even more outspoken in advocating for girls’ education. She appeared frequently in the media and was given one of the country’s highest honors for civilians for her bravery. Fazlullah, along with much of the Swat Taliban’s top leadership, escaped the offensive and is believed to be operating from a base in eastern Afghanistan and sending fighters back across the border to attack northwest Pakistan. But there are indications that he was trying once again to make inroads into the area. Between April and June, Pakistani authorities arrested nearly 100 militants in the Swat Valley, said two security officials and a senior government official. One of those arrested was a woman identified as Naheed Bibi, who was married to Fazlullah and had been sent by him to the valley to help reactivate militant sleeping cells there, the officials added. Her interrogation led security officials to over 60 telephone numbers of SIM cards she and her aides had bought in various northwestern cities.

PROSTITUTION from page 2 — people that we’re going to know in town,” said Elaine Nicholson. “So everyone is, like, waiting with bated breath.” Alexis Wright, a 29-year-old fitness instructor from the nearby town of Wells, has pleaded not guilty to prostitution, invasion of privacy and other charges for allegedly accepting money for sex and secretly videotaping her encounters. Her business partner, Mark Strong Sr., a 57-year-old insurance agent and private investigator from Thomaston, pleaded not guilty to 59 misdemeanor charges. Their lawyers did not immediately return messages Friday. Searches of Wright’s studio and office turned up video recordings of sexual acts, billing information and meticulous records about clients, according to court documents. Kennebunk police have begun issuing summonses to Wright’s suspected johns on misdemeanor charges of engaging a prostitute. The first set of names was supposed to be released Friday, but police held off because of the legal action. A lawyer for two men on the list filed an appeal Friday to challenge a decision by a district judge who declined to halt the public release. “We believe very strongly that their names ought not be released. The mere releasing of their names will have devastating consequences in a case in which the government, we believe, will have great difficulty proving,” said the lawyer, Stephen Schwartz. Schwartz took the case to the state Supreme Judicial Court and vowed “to fight to the end for our clients.” The appeal asked the court for an expedited hearing on the appeal. The earliest that can happen is Monday. “We fully expect that they won’t be convicted, but the damage is done once the horse is out of the barn,” he said.

The prostitution charges and ensuing publicity — which reached across the country and beyond — came as a shock in this small town, which is well-known for its ocean beaches, old sea captains’ mansions and the neighboring town of Kennebunkport, home to the Bush family’s Walker’s Point summer compound. Some people say they had their suspicions about Wright, but others were totally in the dark about the energetic dance instructor who introduced many local women to Zumba, a Latin-flavored dance and fitness program. Alison Ackley, who participated in Wright’s class, said she had no inkling she might have been leading a double life. “She was very professional. She was an amazing
Mom gets 99 years in prison for gluing tot’s hands to wall DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas woman who beat her 2-year-old daughter and glued the toddler’s hands to a wall was sentenced Friday to 99 years in prison by a judge who described his decision as a necessary punishment for a brutal, shocking attack. Elizabeth Escalona did not immediately react as State District Judge Larry Mitchell pronounced the sentence at the end of a five-day hearing. Prosecutor Eren Price, who originally offered Escalona a plea deal for 45 years, had argued that she now thought the 23-year-old mother deserved life. Mitchell said his decision came down to one thing. “On Sept. 7, 2011, you savagely beat your child to the edge of death,” Mitchell said. “For this you must be punished.”

The beating left Jocelyn Cedillo in a coma for a couple of days. Escalona’s other children told authorities their mother attacked Jocelyn due to potty training problems. Police say she kicked her daughter in the stomach, beat her with a milk jug, then stuck her hands to an apartment wall with an adhesive commonly known as Super Glue. Jocelyn suffered bleeding in her brain, a fractured rib, multiple bruises and bite marks, a doctor testified. Some skin had been torn off her hands, where doctors also found glue residue and white paint chips from the apartment wall. Escalona pleaded guilty in July to one count of felony injury to a child.

dancer and she held a good class, so I liked going,” Ackley said. “I thought she was a little, not risque, but a little flirtatious with a couple of the male participants in the class. But it’s Zumba. You’re there to have fun. I didn’t think anything of it.” Her mom, Kim Ackley, said she hopes the names are released soon so people can move on with their lives. “The list will be released eventually. They’re just doing everything they can to stall it,” she said. “Everybody is really ready to see who’s on the list.” Not everyone wants the list to be released, however. “Do I agree that what the men did was right? No. But I think it’s a matter for the police, and not for us to know,” said Josiah Currier, a resident.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn
September waterfront sales report September 2012 was a very good month for waterfront sales on Lake Winnipesaukee with 13 transactions at an average price of $1.371 million. The median price point came in at $1.4 million as nine of those 13 sales exceeded the million dollar mark. Last September, there were seven sales on the big lake at an average of $714,357. Year to date there have been 93 sales on Winnipesaukee at and average price of $1.104 million, compared to 76 sales at an average of $1.041 million for the first three quarters last year. That’s a 23-percent increase in sales so far this year. Pretty darn good, I’d say. The least expensive sale for the month was a 1975 vintage, 2,622-square-foot, year round, two bedroom cottage at 29 Peggy’s Cove Road in Alton. The cottage, which is just steps to the water, features lots of natural woodwork, cathedral ceilings, a family room in the basement, gas stoves, and a large deck running the length of the home. The .35 acre level lot has 183-ft. of sandy shore front, a crib dock, and sunny, southwesterly views. This property was first listed in 2010 for $850,000 and then again in 2011 for $735,000. This year it was brought back on at $675,000, reduced to $649,000, and then sold for $610,000. The total time on market was 666 days (is that a sign?) The property is assessed for $684,4000 so I suspect the buyer feels he got a great deal! The home that sold at the median price point of $1.4 million was in Wolfeboro at 4 Delings Cove Road. This 3,034-square-foot contemporary has six bedrooms including a first floor master suite, hardwood floors with radiant heat, living room with wood fireplace, lower level family room, and an eat in kitchen with new appliances. Outside the level 1.17 acre lot has 100-ft. of frontage, a sandy beach, covered boat dock, a cabana, a water side patio area, and awesome views. Not much to dislike here! This home was first listed in May

of 2009 at $1.699 million and then re-listed in March of 2011 at the same price. It was reduced to $1.499 million and then sold for $1.4 million after a total of 1,186 days on the market. The price differential between the first listing price and the actual sales price represents a $252 per day cost to the seller. What do you suppose the seller could have made on the $1.4 million (if it was all free and clear) if he had invested that about 1,186 days ago? The current assessed value on this property is $1.304 million. The highest sale on the lake in September was at 22 Cattle Landing Road in Meredith. The sale of this property was another long ordeal as it was listed prior to construction back in June of 2006 at $2.995 million with construction to be completed in 2007. The price escalated to $4.25 million in June of 2008, then was reduced to $3.2, to $2.895 in 2010, and finally down to $2.695 million this year. Anyway, this exquisite 6,000-squarefoot Adirondack has all the features one would expect in a Winnipesaukee waterfront estate home including Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors, a great room with cathedral ceilings and floor to ceiling fireplace, lots of glass, six bedrooms including a sumptuous master suite with its own private deck, the requisite gourmet kitchen with all the goodies, a home theater, and an attached, three car, heated garage for the toys. The home sits on a .72 acre peninsula lot with 328-ft. of frontage, amazing landscaping, beautiful patios and walkways, a perched beach, and, of course, a dock. The home also has 50-percent interest in another 8.5acre lot to provide additional privacy. So, this home was marketed for 1,450 days with the sale coming in at $2.2 million. The assessed value by the Town of Meredith is at $2.577 million. There were two sales on little sister Winnisquam in September. One was located at 9 Island Drive see next page

from preceding page in Belmont. This 1940’s “vintage,” seasonal cottage has a knotty pine interior, two bedrooms, two baths, a cute living room with a fireplace, a nice screened porch, and a walk out basement. It sits on a .3 acre lot with 80-ft. of sandy frontage and a dock. This property was priced at $349,000 and found a buyer at $311,000 after only 57 days on the market. The current assessment is $393,700. The other sale was at 11 Bear Point in Meredith. This is a 2,424-squarefoot, beautifully maintained contemporary built in 1989. It has four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a living room with a cathedral ceiling and fireplace, large deck, and a finished lower level walkout. The
home sits on a .4 acre level lot with a sandy beach and dock. It was offered at $635,000 and sold for $623,000 after 39 days on the market.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Being both observant and intuitive, you can easily detect deceit. There are times when you don’t mind being led to believe a fantasy, but this isn’t one of them. If you ask for honesty, you’ll get it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Every endeavor has a cycle, and part of that cycle is a period of stasis -- in other words, break time. Do not be alarmed by inactivity. Embrace it instead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a formula you can follow to get the results you desire. It will help you to learn or remember it now. Eventually, you will do more than follow the formula; you’ll rise above it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Even though you always like to deliver beyond everyone’s expectations, if you show up and do what’s expected of you, that will be more than enough for now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you think about the way you reacted to disappointment in the past as compared to the way you react to it now, you’ll appreciate how far you’ve come. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 13). You are an excellent counselor, and those who take your advice will be richer in many ways for it. When you take your own advice, things really get interesting. No matter how good you have it this year, you’ll create more goodness. December and February bring celebration and love. June and August bring windfalls. Pisces and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 24, 38 and 18.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Do not make the mistake of thinking that having more options will allow you to produce a better result. The opposite will be true now. What you create will be specific to you and beautifully constrained. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Environmental factors will play a significant role in your sense of well-being. You’ll intuit the importance of doing your part to make an area clean and beautiful. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are enticing social prospects in the distance, but right now you’ll be most attracted to the people who can best help you deal with the situation at hand. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It can be simultaneously true that the glass is half-full and half-empty. But the optimistic statement is more attractive to the person holding a pitcher of water, who can, at any moment, change the truth of the glass. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a certain high that comes from people understanding and praising your work. But if you gear your work toward the aim of getting applause, you’ll lose more than you gain. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your attention will flow from one reverie to the next. Normally, you might consider this a waste of time, but now you sense that daydreams are crucial to your happiness and therefore super-important. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll return to a leadership role. Get close to the people you want to influence. If you’re too distant, you’ll miss the casual contact necessary to be a part of their culture.

Yesterday’s Answer
Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, October 13, 2012
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Oct. 13, the 287th day of 2012. There are 79 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 13, 1962, Edward Albee’s searing four-character drama “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” opened on Broadway with Arthur Hill as George, Uta Hagen as Martha, George Grizzard as Nick and Melinda Dillon (whose 23rd birthday it was) as Honey. On this date: In A.D. 54, Roman Emperor Claudius I died, poisoned apparently at the behest of his wife, Agrippina (ag-rih-PEE’-nuh). In 1307, King Philip IV of France ordered the arrests of Knights Templar on charges of heresy. In 1775, the United States Navy had its origins as the Continental Congress ordered the construction of a naval fleet. In 1792, the cornerstone of the executive mansion, later known as the White House, was laid during a ceremony in the District of Columbia. In 1932, President Herbert Hoover and Chief Justice Charles Evan Hughes laid the cornerstone for the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington. In 1944, American troops entered Aachen, Germany, during World War II. In 1960, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon held the third televised debate of their presidential campaign (Nixon was in Los Angeles, Kennedy in New York). In 1972, a Uruguayan chartered flight carrying 45 people crashed in the Andes; 16 survivors who resorted to feeding off the remains of some of the dead in order to stay alive were rescued more than two months later. In 1981, voters in Egypt participated in a referendum to elect Vice President Hosni Mubarak (HAHS’-nee moo-BAH’-rahk) the new president, one week after the assassination of Anwar Sadat. In 2010, rescuers in Chile using a missile-like escape capsule pulled 33 men one by one to fresh air and freedom 69 days after they were trapped in a collapsed mine a half-mile underground. One year ago: American drone-fired missiles killed a ranking member of the militant Haqqani network in northwestern Pakistan. American Jordyn Wieber won another gold medal, beating Russia’s Viktoria Komova for the all-around title at the world gymnastics championships in Tokyo. Today’s Birthdays: Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is 87. Actress Melinda Dillon is 73. Singer-musician Paul Simon is 71. Actress Pamela Tiffin is 70. Musician Robert Lamm is 68. Country singer Lacy J. Dalton is 66. Actor Demond Wilson is 66. Singer-musician Sammy Hagar is 65. Actor John Lone is 60. Singer Marie Osmond is 53. Rock singer Joey Belladonna is 52. College and Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice is 50. Actress Kelly Preston is 50. Actor Christopher Judge is 48. Actress Kate Walsh is 45. Actress Tisha Campbell-Martin is 44. Classical singer Carlos Marin is 44. Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan is 43. Country singer Rhett Akins is 43. Classical crossover singer Paul Potts is 42. TV personality Billy Bush is 41. Actor Sacha Baron Cohen is 41. Rock musician Jan Van Sichem Jr. is 40. Rhythm-and-blues singers Brandon and Brian Casey (Jagged Edge) are 37. Actress Kiele Sanchez is 36. Singer Ashanti is 32. Olympic gold medal swimmer Ian Thorpe is 30.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: In January, I finally married the woman of my dreams. “Julie” was sweet and kind, with lots of love to give. Things went well for a few weeks, but then everything changed. Julie has always had issues with depression. She’d be overwhelmed from time to time but always came to me for comfort. Suddenly, she didn’t want me near her when she was depressed. As hurt as I was, I gave her the space she wanted. It’s been several months now, and it seems as if Julie no longer needs me for anything. All affection has ceased, and though I ask her to join me in every activity, she refuses. We don’t even watch TV together. She prefers to do that on her own with her headphones on. After months of begging, she finally went for counseling. (I’ve been seeing a counselor myself.) It seemed to help her depression, but she still maintains a great deal of distance from me. Worse, we are beginning to get heavily in debt and are in danger of losing our house, but she refuses to get a job or even help out around the house. She spends her time talking to friends, sleeping and watching videos. I am miserable. I love this woman, and I know these are all signs that she’s still fighting her depression, but how much is too much? She barely responds to me when I try to discuss it. I promised “in sickness and in health,” but I don’t know how much more I can handle. -- Wishing for Better Times Dear Wishing: If Julie handles her depression by spending money, you need to be supportive without being indulgent. This is an area that is difficult for her to control. Put her on a budget and limit her access to your joint account. Then contact the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (dbsalliance.org) at 1-800-826-3632 for information. Julie must put some effort into this for the sake of your marriage. Dear Annie: My mom was diagnosed with multiple scle-
rosis 30 years ago. She was 42, active in her church, taught piano and was involved in our community. She always took the time to visit or call friends. By the time she was 49, she was in a nursing home. At first, her friends visited regularly. Now I’m the only one. Her sister and brother never come to see her. Her friends rarely ask about her. I realize we are all busy, but it only takes a half-hour once a week to stop by and say hello. It would mean so much. I have told her friends that she would love to see them, but they make excuses, saying they can’t bear to see her this way or she won’t remember them. This breaks my heart. Mom is so wonderful and sweet. Even if she doesn’t recognize you, she enjoys the visit. Annie, there are so many people left alone in nursing homes. Please encourage your readers to reach out. It’s OK if they don’t remember you. You remember them. Tell them stories about earlier days. Bring flowers. Take a guitar and play a song. A 15-minute visit can make a difference in someone’s life. And they might make a difference in yours, as well. -- Washington Dear Washington: Bless you for inspiring our readers to visit a friend or family member in a nursing home. These visits can mean so much. Dear Annie: I am a retired psychologist and often recommended this rejoinder to patients who found themselves in endless rounds of arguments, belittling, etc. It takes a bit of courage to say it, but it works: “You could be right. I’ll have to think about it.” Incredibly, this stops the argument in its tracks. Meanwhile, whoever says those words can blissfully go about their business, doing and thinking whatever they actually think is best. -- Former Psych in New Hampshire

CONCORD — New Hampshire’s youth deer weekend, Saturday and Sunday, October 27-28, 2012, gives young people age 15 and younger the opportunity to go deer hunting with an adult mentor, without the pressure of competing with thousands of adult hunters.
Accompanying adults must be licensed hunters and are not allowed to carry a firearm; the idea is to concentrate their time and attention on coaching their young companion. Prospects for this year’s youth season are good, according to Kent see next page

We hope hunters will spend the weekend with their sons and daughters, grandchildren or young friends, helping them learn what hunting is all about.” Gustafson notes that hunting can also help youngsters learn about the environment, conservation,
