Noucas provides jury with his own version of what happened during bloody night at Meredith apartment By Michael Kitch
struggle that claimed the life of his friend Robert Hart. Noucas, 27, formerly of 5 Stevens Avenue, Meredith is on trial in Belknap County Superior Court for conspiracy to commit armed robbery, accomplice to armed robbery and burglary.
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Michael Noucas took the witness stand in his own defense yesterday, telling the court that he had no intention of harming or robbing anyone, but nearly lost his life in a vain effort to end a violent
The prosecution alleges that in the early hours of June 6, 2010 he and Hart, wielding a kitchen knife and a baseball bat and wearing ski masks and latex gloves, entered a threestory duplex at 16 Lake Street in Meredith bent on robbing David Rivera, an alleged drug
dealer from Brockton, Massachusetts of cash and cocaine. (Rivera was staying in a thirdfloor bedroom.) But, when Rivera struck back the two found themselves fighting for their lives. Hart was beaten and stabbed to death while Noucas see trIaL page 10

Kansas City bishop indicted for not alerting police to child porn discovered on priest’s computer in 2010
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City’s Catholic bishop has become the highest-ranking U.S. Catholic official indicted on a charge of failing to protect children after he and his diocese waited five months to tell police about hundreds of images of child pornography discovered on a priest’s computer, officials said Friday. Bishop Robert Finn, the first U.S. bishop criminally charged with sheltering an abusive clergyman, and the Kansas City-St. Joseph Catholic Diocese have pleaded not guilty on one count each of failing to report suspected child abuse. Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said Finn and the diocese were required under state law to report the discovery to police because the images gave them reason to believe a child had been abused. “Now that the grand jury investigation has resulted in this indictment, my office will pursue this case vigorously,” Baker said. “I want to ensure there are no future failures to report resulting in other unsuspecting victims.” The indictment, handed down Oct. 6 but sealed because Finn was out of the country, says the bishop failed to report suspicions against the priest from Dec. 16, 2010, when the photos were discovered, to May 11, 2011, when the diocese turned them over to police. Finn denied any wrongdoing in a statement Friday and said he had begun work to overhaul the diocese’s reporting policies and act on key findings of a diocesecommissioned investigation into its practices. “Today, the Jackson County Prosecutor issued these charges against me personally and against the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph,” said Finn, who officials said was not under arrest. “For our part, we will meet these announcements with a steady resolve and a vigorous defense.” Finn faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor. The diocese also faces a $1,000 fine. After the Catholic sex abuse scandal erupted in 2002, grand juries in several regions reviewed how bishops handled claims against priests. However, see BISHOP page 8
Wall St. protesters thwart eviction attempt NEW YORK (AP) — Anti-Wall Street protesters exulted Friday after beating back a plan to clear them from the park they have occupied for the past month, saying the victory will embolden the movement across the U.S. and beyond. “We are going to piggy-back off the success of today, and it’s going to be bigger than we ever imagined,” said protester Daniel Zetah. The showdown in New York came as tensions were rising in several U.S. cities over the spreading protests, with several arrests and scattered clashes between demonstrators and police. The owners of Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan had announced plans to temporarily evict the hundreds of protesters at 7 a.m. Friday so that the grounds could be power-washed. But the protesters
feared it was a pretext to break up the demonstration, and they vowed to stand their ground, raising the prospect of clashes with police. Just minutes before the appointed hour, the word came down that the park’s owners, Brookfield Office Properties, had postponed the cleanup. A boisterous cheer went up among the demonstrators, whose numbers had swelled to about 2,000 before daybreak in response to a call for help in fending off the police. In a statement, Brookfield said it decided to delay the cleaning “for a short period of time” at the request of “a number of local political leaders.” It gave no details. State Sen. Daniel Squadron, a Democrat who represents lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, said he had see PROTESTERS page 9
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — In a blow to Alabama’s toughest-in-the-nation immigration law, a federal appeals court sided with the Obama administration Friday when it blocked public schools from checking the immigration status of students. The decision from the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also said police can’t charge immigrants who are unable to prove their citizenship, but it let some of the law stand, giving supporters a partial victory. The decision was only temporary and a final ruling wasn’t expected for months, after judges can review more arguments. Unlike crackdowns in other states, Alabama’s law was left largely in effect for about three weeks, long enough to frighten Hispanics and drive them
away from the state. Construction businesses said Hispanic workers had quit showing up for jobs and schools reported that Latino students stopped coming to class. While the long-range implications of the decision remain to be seen, immigrants celebrated the judges’ ruling. Word spread quickly through the state’s Hispanic community as Spanish-language radio stations aired the news. “When I listened to that, I started crying. I called my friends and said, ‘Listen to the radio.’ We’re all happy,” said Abigail, an illegal immigrant who didn’t want her last name used because she feared arrest. Before the ruling, Armando Cardenas said he was see ALABAMA page 13
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration Friday pulled the plug on a major program in the president’s signature health overhaul law — a long-term care insurance plan dogged from the beginning by doubts over its financial solvency. Targeted by congressional Republicans for repeal, the program became the first casualty in the political and policy wars over the health care law. It had been expected to launch in 2013.
“This is a victory for the American taxpayer and future generations,” said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., spearheading opposition in the Senate. “The administration is finally admitting (the long-term care plan) is unsustainable and cannot be implemented.” Proponents, including many groups that fought to pass the health care law, have vowed a vigorous effort to rescue the program, insisting that Congress see OBAMACARE page 13

Celina’s mom frustrated Plane to evacuate N.H. from South Pole nears police have no answers COLEBROOK, N.H. (AP) — The mother of the New Hampshire girl found dead in the Connecticut River last summer says she’s frustrated that police are unable to provide answers about her daughter’s murder. Luisia Noyes told the Boston Herald the case is for her “frustrating, haunting and unbearable.” Noyes’ daughter, 11-year-old Celina Cass, disappeared in July from her West Stewartstown home. Her body was later found in the Connecticut River. Noyes told the Herald police would not allow her to see her daughter’s body, even after a funeral director’s restorative efforts, nor would they allow her to see the blanket the body was wrapped in. Last month, the New Hampshire attorney general’s office classified Celina’s death as a homicide, but investigators say they don’t have enough evidence to make an arrest.
Cain joins growing boycott of Nevada GOP caucuses; state moved voting up to Jan. 14
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Former pizza executive Herman Cain is adding his name to the list of Republican contenders boycotting Nevada’s caucuses. Charlie Spano is Cain’s field operations director in New Hampshire and says on Friday that Cain will attend next week’s debate in Las Vegas. But Cain won’t participate in the state’s Jan. 14 caucuses. Spano says Cain will continue to campaign in Nevada, where he has long courted tea party supporters. Cain is the fifth candidate to boycott Nevada’s contest, joining Jon Huntsman, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. New Hampshire wants to protect its first in the nation primary contest and is urging candidates to boycott Nevada. Nevada moved its Feb. 18 contest after Florida jumped ahead and set its primary for Jan. 31.
N.H. Retirement System’s investments returned 23% over 12 months ending 6/30
CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Retirement System posted its best earnings last year in 25 years despite a fragile economy. The system reported Friday that the fund was $5.9 billion at the end of the last fiscal year on June 30 — a $992 million increase from the previous year and a 23 percent return on investment. The system said the increase was primarily attributable to the performance of stocks. Kim France, the system’s interim executive director, said the gain is the best since 1986. She cautioned that while 2011 was an exceptional year, it is only one year and the system focuses on the long term The public pension system covers more than 50,000 active and nearly 26,000 retired state and municipal workers, teachers, police and firefighters.
CONCORD (AP) — A cargo plane that’ll evacuate a sick engineer from the South Pole arrived Friday at a base in Antarctica. The plane flew from Chile to the United Kingdom’s Rothera Base on Friday afternoon Eastern time, the National Science Foundation said. It will go to the foundation’s South Pole research station on Saturday to pick up Renee-Nicole Douceur and take her first to the foundation’s McMurdo station in Antarctica and then on to New Zealand. Douceur, who’s from Seabrook, a coastal town of 9,000 residents 40 miles southeast of Concord, is a manager for research station contractor Raytheon Polar Services Co. She asked for an earlier emergency evacuation after having what doctors believed was a stroke in August. Doctors she contacted for a second opinion say a tumor may have caused her medical problems, including faulty vision and speech and memory difficulties. After initially having half her field of vision vanish, Douceur, 58, said she can now read if she concentrates on just a few words at a time. She sometimes jumbles words and has had trouble remembering simple lists of words during medical evaluations. But officials rejected her earlier evacuation request because of bad weather, saying that sending a rescue plane was too dangerous and that her condition wasn’t life-threatening.
Raytheon spokesman Jon Kasle said Tuesday that the decision to evacuate Douceur rested with the National Science Foundation, not Raytheon. The National Science Foundation said it must balance the potential benefit of an evacuation against the possibility of harm for the patient, the flight crew and workers on the ground. In October 1999, a U.S. Air Force plane flew to the station to rescue Dr. Jerri Nielsen FitzGerald, who had diagnosed and treated her own breast cancer for months before her evacuation. After she had multiple surgeries in the United States, the cancer went into remission, but it returned. She died in 2009 at age 57. Douceur, who has worked at the South Pole for about a year, told The Associated Press on Tuesday she understands the risks involved in arranging an evacuation. She said she wanted to take advantage of a good weather window. “There’s an opening,” she said, “but if they don’t make that opening then it’s probably going to be pushed on to next week before I get a chance.”

High speed rail in U.S. largely a boondoggle Dead. Kaput. Through. Finished. Washed up. Gone-zo. That, I think, is a fair description of the Obama administration’s attempt to build high-speed rail lines across America. It hasn’t failed because of a lack of willingness to pony up money. The Obama Democrats’ February 2009 stimulus package included $8-billion for high-speed rail projects. The Democratic Congress appropriated another $2.5-billion. But Congress is turning off the spigot. The Republican-controlled House has appropriated zero dollars for high-speed rail. The Democratic-majority Senate Appropriations Committee has appropriated $100-million in its budget recommendation. That’s effectively “a vote of ‘no confidence’ to President Obama’s infrastructure initiative,” concludes transportation analyst Ken Orski, “a bipartisan signal that Congress has no appetite for pouring more money into a venture that many lawmakers have come to view as a poster child for wasteful spending.” The Transportation Department is struggling to push some of the previously appropriated money out the door. Some $480-million of planning, engineering and construction grants were made to 11 state governments in September. But this doesn’t build many rail lines, and with one exception, none of them is really high-speed, like Japan’s TGV or Japan’s bullet train. The governors of Wisconsin and Ohio nixed train lines that wouldn’t provide faster service than current parallel Interstate highways. The governor of Florida cancelled a faster line between Orlando and Tampa, which are only 90 miles apart. The one remaining project that really promises high-speed rail travel, in California, faces cost overruns that would be astonishing — except for the fact that cost overruns have been standard operating procedure in high-speed rail projects around the world. The feds insist California build a 160-mile segment in the Central Valley that is estimated to cost at least $10-billion and will have virtually no riders. The estimated cost of the whole project has zoomed from $43-billion to $67-billion, and there seems to be no prospect of any more public- or private-sector money. Obama has rhapsodized about the wonders of getting on a train across the street from your office and traveling to another city, and he has presented high-speed rail as a technology of the future. But high-speed rail is futuristic in
the same way as Disney’s original Tomorrowland. Gee, someday you’ll be able to take frozen peas from your freezer and heat them on your electric range. Passenger rail is an old technology that is particularly attractive to planners, the folks who want to force us out of our cars and into subways that travel only on the routes they design. Let’s make everyone live the way people do in Manhattan! This is contrary to the thrust of emerging information technologies, which let us take whatever path on the Internet we want. Sort of like automobiles. Moreover, the idea that it would be great to put high-speed rail lines all over the country shows an underappreciation of American geography and of some of the nation’s genuine strengths. High-speed rail can compete with air travel only over limited distances, but the United States is a continental-sized country. Japan and France, as you may have noticed, are a lot smaller. China, which is continent-sized too, has been building high-speed rail, but it’s cutting back now and slowing down the trains after a bad accident. Brazil, also continentsized, is dropping plans for a Rio de Janeiro-Sao Paulo line. Its airlines and buses already work fine. America’s alleged lag in highspeed rail is also a consequence of our excellence in freight rail. Over three decades after Jimmy Carter’s deregulation, freight rail has squeezed out costs and made shipped goods much cheaper for all of us. Europe and Japan have lousy freight rail and pay more for things. The reason that’s important is that truly high-speed trains cannot use freight rail tracks. Freight trains travel slower and have a hard time getting out of the way of passenger trains traveling 200 miles per hour. Japan’s bullet train and France’s TGV operate on dedicated tracks specially built for them. That’s expensive. As a frequent traveler from Washington to New York, I’d love to see a real high-speed train in the Northeast Corridor — the only place in the country where it might make economic sense. But if not having one is the price to be paid for the demise of the Obama high-speed rail boondoggle, I’m happy to pay it.

LETTERS Too many students have casual attitude toward process of learning To the editor, First off, I’m not a professional educator. But what I see in the Laconia schools is probably an example of the systemic breakdown in classroom disciple and lack of respect for teachers and those in authority. This is, in my non-professional opinion, a crisis situation that needs to be recognized and corrected if our public schools are ever to regain even a semblance of proficiency we expect of them. I can give you a few examples why I am distressed about this situation. Students, (too many) have a casual attitude toward the process of learning and education. They tend to talk too much, believing it is acceptable to socialize in the school environment. They are allowed to bring head-sets in the classroom, and often bring food items. Students frequently put their heads on the desk. When reminded of their lack of attention, they balk. In my class, as a teacher’s aide, two girls went to the ladies room and never returned. Two other (boys) made a mockery of the class and were reported for disciplinary action. I have had, on more than one occasion, students who, point blank, refused to do what I asked of them. How can anyone learn under these conditions. The word is insolence!
The teachers, who have my respect and gratitude, must have the classrooms back! They are the boss and managers. They must be able to mete out strict guidelines for classroom behavior, and most importantly have the full backing of principles and asst. principles to be firm, consistent and demanding in handling disrespectful and disorderly students. School administrators must not cower under unfair and unrealistic civil laws. The state has a mandate to teach children of school age until maturity. This is a law and obligation of the State of New Hampshire. Schools fail to teach if instructors are hampered by flimsy or ineffective rules. Teachers must have the respect of the class or all else fails. No wonder we are in the middle of the pack on a world-wide achievement levels. We’re on a slippery slope losing ground — bogged down by permissive attitudes, and perhaps have willynilly expectations for our own children. Education is the key-stone to achieving a prosperous and successful society. Adolescents must be mindful of respect and compliance to societies’ rules and norms. They desperately need strong leadership and school is the second place it must occur. Leon R. Albushies Gilford
Occupy Wall Street protest in Boston shut down food drive To the editor, In my opinion the communal anarchists who are being funded by the unions and left-wing groups and individuals and has been embraced by the Democratic Party, more commonly known as Occupy Wall Street (Boston), have gone too far. In addition to spitting on a woman in her Coast Guard uniform they have stopped a local non-profit organization from feeding the poor and homeless in Boston. The Rose F. Kennedy Greenway Conservancy has been forced to cancel a long planned food fest that was to feed the poor and homeless people in the greater Boston area and to raise funds to help the Greater Boston Food Bank because of the illegal occupation of Dewey Square by these thugs. The “Greenway Mobile Food Fest”, which was planned for Saturday, October 15th had to be cancelled and will not
happen until spring 2012. This is a major event in Boston to allow private individuals and companies to donate much needed resources to help feed the homeless and the food bank will be seriously harmed in being able to feed the poor and homeless people, including children. This is a tragedy and now is the time for individuals to step up and help. I know some of you reading this may think “Greg is a conservative, why does he care about the poor and homeless” in your cynical way. I would answer that conservatives do have compassion for those less fortunate but we believe in helping a person through the rough times and helping them to support themselves, which is the principle of personal responsibility. What we don’t believe in is creating a government program that see next page
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, October 15, 2011 — Page 5
LETTERS Disbelieve? Look at the cost of education or a simple postage stamp. These are all union controlled endeavors. Myth 6: Medicare is something other than a giant welfare program. In 2020 the average couple will have paid in $100,000 to Medicare. They will receive in benefits of $500,000. Who pays the $ 400,000 difference? Primarily taxpayers. Medicare, is actually “Mediscam”. The program threatens the entire U.S. budget with tens of trillions in UNFUNDED future costs going forward. Myth 7: The presidential election is not about race and class warfare. If it isn’t why are polling experts for 2012 projecting 95-percent of blacks will again vote for Obama and whites, Americas most dominant race by percentage will barley see 30-percent vote for him. Same will be true of income, where few of the wealthy will vote for Obama and a large percentage of the less fortunate will. Obama has pitted race against race and income against income through legislation and his demonizing words. Candidate Obama “uniter” became president Obama “divider”. He has also pitted the best interests of business against the best interests of the government for three years, non stop. Myth 8: Socialism and liberalism are great for America. If anyone thinks liberalism works, answer why every failure of government in the past two years has been a socialist stronghold, including Calif., New Jersey, NewYork, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. The SINGLE common thread that ties all these places together is their deeply socialist governments that spend far more than they earn. Myth 9: Barack Obama knows what the hell he is doing. The man is a spectacular failure and will be considered one of Americas worst presidents. Why wouldn’t he be. He had little political experience and ZERO business experience. He doesn’t know net profit from net margin. He is simply incompetent, unqualified and over his head in the job he was elected to do. America was so desperate for a change it would have hired BARNEY FIFE of Andy of Mayberry fame and it DID. Myth 10: That everything will eventually be all right as long as government keeps spending money it does not have. It is fools’ logic. We now have a world economy with intense global competition. Obama has created a highly unfriendly business and regulatory climate. All the large, Fortune 500 companies will focus spending and growth outside our borders. There is little that can change this direction and demonizing business and over taxing it only accelerates the process. Tony Boutin Gilford

Your religion doesn’t mean anything as far as Constitution goes To the editor, Isn’t William “Liam” McCoy the kindly gent who said to me, “Derek Morrisette writes good letters but your letters suck”? Today he has graciously let me know it’s a free country and that we are free to make evil decisions. Now who would have known that? What Mr. McCoy forgets is that others who have that same freedom can speak out against the evil of others. Now about unions. The right to work is the the right to work for less. It is a way for right wing corporations and their useful idiots to further atomize the people into abject impotency. States with right to work laws pay less than those who don’t have those laws. States with collective bargaining rights in teachers’ unions have higher SAT scores and higher rates of graduation. The righties can prefer the dumbing down of America but they have millions of opponents. The tea party is for the dumbing down of America. With the right wing, its a race to the bottom of stupid on some days. Look at the GOP field! “Paul Revere warned the British the Germans were invading Maine!” Around the mid 1800s began the “Ten Hour Day Movement”. They wanted to reduce the working day to 10 hours! How dare they! We can thank unions and similar movements for our 40 day week, our safe workplace, our weekends off, our paid holidays, our sick days, our right to negotiate and more. If a group of workers vote to be a
union shop than its a union shop. That is democracy, folks. People should be grateful for what unions have brought to America. Every non-union shop carries the legacy of those fights — which cost many lives. The right wing way is that job creators are dictators and we are just serfs to create their bottom line. You are nothing! BTW, where are those jobs that the job creators create? They are sitting on trillions! Trickle down economics is one giant golden shower on the people. The top 1-percent income has risen 300-percent since Reagan’s deregulations, recession and market crash and our pay has barely moved. That’s not capitalism, that is RIGGED corporatism which Benito Mussolini clearly said is rightly called fascism. If right wingers want to admit they support corporate fascism and the dumbing down of America, go ahead. We knew it anyway. William said true Americans love God — but the U.S. Constitution says all religious tests for oaths of office are banned. That means your religion DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING as far as the Constitution goes. It is a nonissue according to the 6th Article. True Americans defend the Constitution and love what is good for America. Corporate fascism and right wing culture wars against freedom are not good for America. They are the enemies within.

To the editor, Myth 1: The rich are all mean people whose sole purpose is to be demonized and used as excuses to fund every, half baked, scatterbrained, spending orgasm Democrats can dream up. “Cash” for old athletic supporters and used bras could be next? Myth 2: The black race and minorities are best served by the Democratic platform. Democrats demanded NINJA homes, alleging for years the poor were being discriminated against. They now sit in total silence as millions of them get tossed out of those homes into the streets by foreclosure. Democrats forgot to mention to the less fortunate they couldn’t afford the homes. Politics trumps honesty at all times. Democrats reinforce the belief among blacks they are “victims” because it is good vote-buying politics, but it is lousy for blacks. As long as they see them selves as victims, they will be. Myth 3: Social Security ( SS) is a great program and thank Democrats for it. The sad truth is SS is one of the worst retirement programs on earth. Forcing people to save for retirement is commendable. Running a Ponzi scheme structure to return those savings is government thievery. SS money is now invested in Treasury securities that under perform rather than invested by professional money managers like EVERY other pension plan in America. Ordinary people who desperately need higher SS checks are prevented from getting them by Democrats. Contributions should be your asset, in your name, from day one. Democrats fear monger trillions from the pockets of SS recipients preventing them from getting $2,000 a month instead of $1,000. Myth 4: It is the POOR who create all the jobs in America. It has to be them because Democrats scream at the top of their lungs it is not the wealthy who create them, so who is left? It is a futile attempt to have politics trump common sense. What idiot honestly believes the 50-percent of Americans who earn so little they pay no income taxes are the job producers in America? Myth 5: Unions are great for America. All unions do is make EVERY product from a car to an education cost more. Further, the best interests of unions and management are always in total conflict. Unions KILL productivity and efficiency because it creates overtime opportunities and additional hiring. Who has ever seen a union employee or government worker running like a person operating a big brown United Parcel Service truck ? The only “song” they know is higher pay and better benefits for the same work output. Result? INFLATION.

Imagine for a moment: public schools, right here in New Hampshire, where all students receive the quality education they deserve. Schools that receive adequate funding, where teachers, administrators and support staff are free from the shackles of restrictive federal mandates, where the entire education system can totally focus on giving our youngest citizens the knowledge and skills they need to succeed as adults. That is, after all, what we want our public schools to do. Having visited nearly one dozen classrooms across New Hampshire since January, I’ve seen firsthand that educators genuinely want to accomplish their mission. But in the nearly 50 years since Congress passed the Elementary and Secondary School Act (most recently repackaged as No Child Left Behind), and after spending nearly $2 trillion of your tax dollars, the education system still faces many challenges. Our educators are hampered by Washington on two fronts. First, the federal government collects tax revenue, and then returns a portion of it to New Hampshire with all sorts of strings and conditions attached to it. Second, educators must navigate through a mountain of regulations and edicts issued by bureaucrats in Washington. Just think what our local education systems could do if parents and educators got the chance to decide for themselves how to spend the money that’s currently shipped to Washington, and determine what works best for educating children without towing the line dictated by the U.S. Department of Education. Our schools don’t need “new and improved” rules and regulations; they need freedom and flexibility. I’m co-sponsoring a new piece of legislation that can make a better future for New Hampshire’s public schools a reality. I proudly added my name to H.R. 2514, the Academic Partnerships Leads Us to Success (A-PLUS) Act. Here is how it would work. Under the A-PLUS plan, states would have the freedom to enter into a five-year performance agreement with the U.S. Secretary of Education. That would exempt them from federal education programs and block granting federal education funds to be used for any lawful education purpose the states deem beneficial. That action would allow states to opt out of No Child Left Behind’s programmatic requirements and use funding in ways that will best meet their students’ needs. A state would have to get the approval of at least two out of three
state entities (the Governor, the state legislature, and/or the state education agency). States must demonstrate increased academic achievement for all students and narrow achievement gaps. They must disaggregate performance data for various student demographic groups and provide a description of the state’s accountability system to parents and the U.S. Education Secretary. Further, they would also have to outline how they plan to improve education for disadvantaged students, and continue to meet all requirements of federal civil rights laws. For too long, Washington has taken a cookie cutter approach to improving education. But that’s just not realistic. From Kennett High School in Conway, to Rochester Middle School, to Grinnell Elementary in Derry, the needs of students and individual schools vary, not only from district to district, but often within each district and town. A “one size fits all” approach doesn’t work, and hasn’t worked for nearly half a century. The A-PLUS Act is based on a radical principle: that local educators and school administrators have a better grasp on the situation in their communities and, if given the opportunity and means, they can successfully address those problems. Instead of expanding the federal government’s role in education, this legislation gets federal bureaucrats out of the way. Where Washington has failed, local schools can succeed. All they need is a chance, and the A-PLUS Act gives it to them. And I predict this: if they get that chance, you will be astonished by the positive results they will produce. I look forward to reporting back to you in two weeks on the latest developments in Washington. In the meantime, if I can be of service to you, or if you want to share your thoughts, suggestions or concerns with me, please call either my district office in Manchester at (603) 641-9536 or my Washington office at (202) 225-5456, or contact me through my website at www.Guinta. House.Gov. You can also follow what I’m doing 24/7 on Facebook at www. facebook.com/repfrankguinta and on Twitter at @RepFrankGuinta. Until next time, please know that I am always on your side and am actively fighting for New Hampshire’s interests in Washington.

No real parallels between Wall Street protestors and the Tea Party To the editor, And “quacks” the man says. My friend, Russ Wiles has advocated alternative medicine for years, so what? If anyone cares to disagree it can be done in a short paragraph but James Veverka decided a half page more appropriate. If anyone cares to tell me what that gentlemen had to say please keep it short because he has previously inflicted readers with his long-winded, hate-filled diatribes and I’m not really interested. Each time Vererka has given readers references whereby to check his veracity and each time they proved to be wild goose chases proving nothing. So I really must question that writers unmitigated gall in labeling other people “quacks”. So what do we make of the Occupy Wall Street crowed? Nice huh? They’ve been asked to move off the private property they have been squatting on in order for a clean up. “No sir” they vow not to go peacefully. Never mind the public urination, deification, trash, litter, pot and drug abuse they see no reason to clean up the property or apparently themselves. Don’t get me wrong I have every respect for their right to protest but they seem bent on creating a confrontation with police. Harry Reed, Nancy Pelosi and Demo-
crats seem equally bent on equating this bunch of dissidents with the Tea Party. Let’s compare. OWS is made up of people. The Tea Party is made up of people. What else? Nothing! Readers should look and consider the two examples these movements present to the nation. First you see a true bipartisan, ground roots movement with a clear vision. Peaceful, respectful, law abiding and they pick up after themselves feeling no need to damage property. On the other hand, well just watch the news. Like what you see of the OWS crowed? Is this the way you want things to run in America? Rule by the loudest most obnoxious mob? Why is it that those on the left feel entitled to say and do anything, violate private property, brake the laws, defy and even confront police? And what is it they want? Looks to me they want the ol’ something for nothing. One young man confronted by an older Jewish gentlemen who told him to “get a job” reacted by yelling back, “What, for seven dollars an hour, seven dollars an hour”? Can you imagine, how disrespectful, suggesting a young punk should actually start at the bottom and work his way up? No sir, it’s start at the top or not at all for these clowns. But not to worry see next page

BISHOP from page 2 most of the allegations were decades old and far beyond the statute of limitations. Until Finn was indicted, no U.S. Catholic bishop had been criminally charged over how he responded to abuse claims, although some bishops had struck deals with local authorities to avoid prosecution against their dioceses. A former secretary for clergy in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Monsignor William Lynn, was charged in February with child endangerment. A grand jury had released a report accusing the archdiocese of keeping some credibly accused clergy in church jobs where they had access to children. Lynn has pleaded ALTON from page one When The Daily Sun called the department on Tuesday looking for Heath, police department personnel said the chief would be away from the department for about three weeks because he had undergone a surgical procedure. When asked who was running the department in his absence, the newspaper was referred to Bailey for an answer. Bailey wouldn’t comment about the nature of Heath’s leave, saying only, “There is a temporary person assigned to handle the chief’s duties until his return.” MacDougall, according to Municipal Resources, Inc.’s website, has 30 years of experience in law enforcement. He spent most of his career at the Methuen, Mass. police department, where he served for nine years as chief before retiring in 2002.

not guilty. The grand jury report in Philadelphia and the case in Kansas City have raised questions about how closely other dioceses are following the national discipline policy the U.S. bishops adopted in 2002. Church leaders had promised to remove all credibly accused clergy from church work. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops child protection officers insisted dioceses have been taking swift action in abuse cases and that lapses have been rare. Terry McKiernan of BishopAccountability.org, which manages a public database of records on clergy abuse cases, called Friday’s indictment especially important because it involved a recent case. He said the charge being a misdemeanor makes it no less significant. “The taboo against acknowledging that bishops are responsible in these matters has been challenged,” McKiernan said. Finn acknowledged earlier this year that a parish principal had raised concerns in May 2010 that the Rev. Shawn Ratigan was behaving inappropriately around children, but that he didn’t read the principal’s written report until this spring.

LACONIA — The Belknap County Commission this week brought suit in Belknap County Superior Court to compel Barbara Luther, the Register of Deeds, to comply with the recommendations of the independent auditor to close the registry’s bank accounts and deposit the taxes and fees it collects directly into the county general fund. Since July, when Melanson Heath & Company, P.C. presented its recommendations, all the other county departments have complied with them, but Luther has resisted the blandishments of Finance Director Glen Waring, County Administrator Debra Shackett and the commission itself. The suit notes that the auditor’s letter described certain procedures at the Registry of Deeds as “material weaknesses,” or “a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.” In particular, the auditors offered three examples. First, they recommended that “all decentralized accounts and funds should be included in the county’s general ledger” and “to improve controls over department receipts, the county should consider centralizing receipts collection for certain departments at the Finance Office.” Referring specifically to the Registry of Deeds, the auditors noted that one person “prepares and signs checks, collects, depos-
anti-Wall Street demonstrators. In New York City, police arrested 15 people, including protesters who obstructed traffic by standing or sitting in the street and others who turned over trash baskets and hurled bottles. A deputy inspector was sprayed in the face with an unknown liquid. In one case, an observer with the National Lawyers Guild who was marching with the group refused to move off the street for police, and the tip of his foot was run over by an officer’s scooter. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing and kicked over the scooter before police flipped him over and arrested him. And a video posted online showed a police officer punching a protester in the side of the head on a crowded street. Police said the altercation occurred after the man tried to elbow the officer in the face and other people in the crowd jumped on the officer, who was sprayed with a liquid coming from the man’s direction. Police said the man, who escaped and is wanted for attempted assault on an officer, later said in an online interview he’s HIV positive and the officer should be tested medically.

PROTESTERS from page one conversations late into the night urging Brookfield’s CEO to wait. “The stakeholders must come together to find a solution that respects the protesters’ fundamental rights, while addressing the legitimate quality-oflife concerns in this growing residential neighborhood,” Squadron said in a statement. Brookfield said it would negotiate with protesters about how the park may be used. But it was unclear when those discussions would occur. Over the past month, the protest against corporate greed and economic inequality has spread to cities across the U.S. and around the world. Several demonstrations are planned this weekend in the U.S., Canada and Europe, as well as in Asia and Africa. In Denver, police in riot gear herded hundreds of protesters away from the Colorado state Capitol early Friday, arresting about two dozen people and dismantling their encampment. In Trenton, N.J., protesters were ordered to remove tents near a war memorial. San Diego police used pepper spray to break up a human chain formed around a tent by
its, and accounts for receipts,” which creates a risk that “errors or irregularities” could pass undetected. Finally the auditors recommended all cash accounts, including those of the Registry of Deeds, should be controlled by the County Treasurer. In August, Paul Fitzgerald, legal counsel to the commission, wrote to Luther asking for her suggestion as to how to implement the best practices recommended by the auditors. She replied by maintaining that the recommended procedures are at odds with state law (RSA 478:17-i), which reads “Each register of deeds shall pay over once a month to his county treasurer, for use of the county, all fees received by him as such register and all charges paid to him for services arising out of or because of his office, including but not limited to payments for duties under RSA 78-B;8,” or the real estate transfer tax. In return, the commissioners cite RSA 29:1, which prescribes that “the county treasurer shall have custody of all monies belonging to the county,” and insist there is no inherent or irreconcilable contradiction between the two statutes and the auditor’s recommendations. Even if a conflict exists, the commissioners argue, there is nothing to prevent the Register from adopting the best practices the auditor recommends. “In fact,” their petition reads, “it is incumbent upon the Respondent (Register) to comply with those practices to ensure not only against the potential perils cited by the auditors but to ensure the public trust.”

TRIAL from page one escaped with severe wounds to his head and neck. Noucas’s testimony contradicted earlier claims by Julie Sallies, Hart’s fiancee who is in prison after pleading guilty to to her part in the conspiracy, that he told her and Hart that he wanted to “rob this guy at Sarah’s (Longval’s) house.” Sallies said Noucas told them Rivera had both “coke and cash”. However, under cross examination by Carley Ahern, assistant county attorney, Noucas struggled to square his version of events with the presence of his DNA on a ski mask and latex glove found in the room where Hart died. Before Noucas testified, Judge James O’Neill brusquely denied a motion by defense attorney Andrew Winters to dismiss all the charges against Noucas. Speaking to the motion, Winters challenged the credibility of Sallies, who alone testified that Noucas conspired and abetted armed robbery, claiming that her testimony was “fabricated” to enhance her plea bargain. Furthermore, he said that there was no witness or evidence to what occurred in the room when Hart was killed and Noucas was maimed. Rivera, who was granted immunity from prosecution but ordered to testify, steadfastly insisted that he remembered absolutely nothing. Finally Winters said since there was no evidence of forced entry and Longval testified that Noucas was welcome in her home, the burglary charge should be dismissed. Ahern countered that Sallies’s testimony was supported by DNA evidence collected at the scene and Longval’s testimony was at odds with her original statements to the police. The jury was not in the courtroom during during that exchange and O’Neill’s subsequent ruling. Asked by Winters, his attorney, to recount the events leading to the mayhem in the third-floor bedroom, Noucas began by noting that he spent the night before at 16 Lake Street, the home of Sarah Longval, the mother of his child and sometime girlfriend. He said that he had a key to the house and Longval allowed him to come and go as he pleased. On the morning of June 5th, Noucas, echoing Longval’s earlier testimony, acknowledged the two had argued over $20 and she had asked him to leave. “It was just a ridiculous thing we had going that day,” he said, later adding that the two exchanged text messages throughout the day as Longval asked him to return. Noucas said that after showering he went to the nearby home of Gina Provost, the mother of a friend, Patrick McIntire, to help her pack in preparation to move to Laconia that afternoon.

panied by McIntire, he returned to 16 Lake Street, where he met Longval and Rivera, who he become acquainted with earlier. “We were just hangin’ out for about an hour,” he said. Noucas recounted that afterwards he and McIntire, along with Provost and Brittany, McIntire’s girlfriend, moved Provost’s belongings to Laconia, unloaded two vehicles, then drove Provost to work at O Steak and Seafood in her car. Then, he, McIntire and Brittany drove to a graduation party in Belmont, arriving shortly before 6 p.m. Noucas said that while they were at the party Hart called him, saying he wanted to “get in touch” with Rivera and asking him to accompany him to Longval’s house in Meredith. He said that he agreed to go with them. Noucas testified that he, McIntire, Brittany and Dawn Dragon, a woman they met at the party, collected Provost from work at about 9 p.m. then all went to her new home on Garfield Street. About an hour later, according to Noucas, Hart and Sallies arrived at Provost’s apartment to make the trip to Meredith. His account was supported by Provost, who earlier testified that Sallies and Hart came to her home and left with Noucas and Dragon. On the other hand, Sallies testified that sometime between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. Noucas, along with Dragon, came to the apartment she shared with Hart at 233 South Main Street, Laconia and within minutes said he wanted to rob Rivera. She claimed that when she and Hart questioned him about Rivera and what he had to steal, Noucas told them he had “cocaine and cash.” She said that she gave the two men ski masks and Hart armed himself with the bat. All four then left for Meredith in Sallies’s Chevrolet Impala sedan. When the four reached Meredith, Sallies claimed that Noucas took a knife, one of a set in her kitchen, from Dragon’s pocketbook. “The boys were going to go upstairs together and scare this kid into giving them drugs, money or both,” she told the court. Again contradicting Sallies’s statement, Noucas twice insisted that he did not go to her apartment or take a ski mask, or a knife or bat. When they reached Meredith, he said that stopped at Cumberland Farms then went to Longval’s house at 16 Lake Street. Noucas testified that while Sallies and Dragon, who was in a drunken stupor, remained in the car, he and Hart went upstairs, spoke with Rivera and then left the house. He said that Hart “didn’t seem too upset, not like the night before,” apparently alluding to an earlier meeting with Rivera. Noucas said they returned to the car, where he left Hart and Sallies arguing and went to Prosee next page

from preceding page vost’s prior home to collect clothes and jewelry. Noucas said that he returned to the car to find Sallies and Dragon alone and when he asked after Hart, Sallies told him that he had gone back in the house “to take care of Dave.” He said that he ran to the house and went upstairs to the bedroom where he heard sounds of fighting and saw Rivera holding the baseball bat against his ribs and stabbing Hart in the chest. “I tried to break it up and yelled at Dave to chill out,” he said. When he was ignored, he said that he grabbed Rivera and pushed him into the wall. Rivera began stabbing him in the back, the neck and the hands, he said, then, perhaps stumbling over Hart, they fell on to the bed. Noucas said Rivera got on top of him, pressing him into the bed and continuing to stab him. Once he broke loose he went down the stairs. “I was bleeding a lot and coughing blood,” Noucas said. On the second floor, he noticed that Longval’s bedroom door was cracked open and though he did not see her, he told her to call 911 and kept on fleeing. “I just wanted to get out of there quick,” he said. “Dave was coming after me.”
Noucas said that he was “bleeding profusely” and “seeing stars” when he reached Sallies car. He said that he lay in a puddle of blood in the back seat thinking he was going to die as Sallies drove to the Meredith Police Station, where she left him before returning to Lake Street. “Did you grab a knife before you went in that room” asked Winters. “No,” Noucas replied. “A bat?” Again “no.” “Were you wearing a mask?” “no” again. “Did you go there to rob David Rivera?” “No.” “Did you break in?” “I didn’t need to break into Sarah’s house.” In cross examining Noucas, Ahern fastened on the ski mask and latex glove found in the upstairs bedroom where Hart was killed, both of which bore DNA matching that of Noucas. Earlier in the week officers of the New Hampshire State Police Major Crime Unit, who collected evidence at the scene and from Hart’s body, testified to finding three ski masks and five latex gloves. Two masks were found in the bedroom, one near Hart’s body and another in the doorway, and the third in the car belonging to Sallies. Hart was wearing two gloves when he died, a third was found in the bedroom. The fourth glove was recovered near the Mer-
edith Police Station, where Sallies left Noucas, who was bleeding profusely, and the last was discovered int he glove compartment of her car. On Thursday, Susan L. Faith, a criminologist with the New Hampshire Department of Safety told the court that she tested the mask found near the doorway and the glove found in the bedroom against the DNA profiles of Nouces and Hart. She tested a portion of the mask taken from the area around the mouth and, after turning the glove inside out, took samples from all areas that would have contacted the wearer. She concluded that “to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty” the samples matched Noucas’s DNA profile. However, she conceded she could not determine how or when his DNA came to be on either. Under questioning, Noucas said that he saw a ski mask in Sallies’s car, but continued to deny that he wore it or gloves when he returned to Longval’s home and confronted Rivera. The prosecution and defense will present their closing arguments on Monday, beginning at 9 a.m., after which O’Neill will instruct the jury of eight women and five men.
FROST from page one and his wife, Mary, for about 20 years. “These medals represent a long overdue recognition of Donald Frost’s commitment to protecting our country and defending our freedoms,” Shaheen said. “It’s been almost five decades since Donald Frost began his service in the United States Navy, and I’m honored to be here today to recognize him for his courage and patriotism. On behalf of all the people of New Hampshire and the nation, I thank him for his heroic service.” Shaheen’s office worked closely with Frost to obtain the medals he had earned through his service. Frost rose to the rank of Chief Petty Officer while serving in World War II, the Korean conflict, and on several Navy expeditions. Among the awards he received were the Combat Action Ribbon, the Navy Good Conduct Medal (with four Bronze stars), the WWII Victory Medal, and the National Defense Medal. He said that his boat, the PT 161, was identical to Kennedy’s PT 109, which was rammed in the Blackett Strait by the Japanese destroyer Amagiri around 2:30 in the morning in August of 1943. Kennedy and 10 surviving crewmen had to jump into the sea, which was aflame with gasoline. They later floated on what remained of the hull, and once it started to sink, swam some three miles to Plum Pudding Island, as Kennedy towed a wounded crewman in the water. Frost said his ship wasn’t out that night, but he heard the next day that one of the three ships that went out from Rendova hadn’t returned. And, several days later he actually saw the dugout canoe with natives on it come into the base where his
squadron was located. “That was very unusual. The natives usually avoided both us and the Japanese. So that stood out in my mind,” recalls Frost. What he didn’t know at that time was that the island natives had a coconut shell in their canoe with the message “NATIVE KNOWS POSIT HE CAN PILOT 11 ALIVE NEED SMALL BOAT KENNEDY” scrawled on it. “I was on PT 161 and we were sent out with two other PT boats after we received the message. It was a night mission and only one of our boats had radar. That was the one that picked up Kennedy and his crew. I didn’t even know the mission had succeeded until we got the signal to return to base,” says Frost. He said that radio silence was maintained during the rescue effort and that a flashlight was used to signal the other ships that Kennedy and his crew had been brought on board. Frost had to wait nearly 17 years before he met John F. Kennedy. “I didn’t meet a great deal of officers back then. And I probably wouldn’t have recognized him if I did come across him,” says Frost, who was an enlisted man serving as a machinist’s mate at the time. He didn’t meet Kennedy until March of 1960, when Kennedy was campaigning for president in the New Hampshire Primary and Frost, who was working as a U.S. Navy recruiter in Laconia, walked over from the post office, where his office was located, to the Laconia Tavern. “I told him I was on one of the PT boats that was sent after him and his crew. But we didn’t have much of a chance to talk about it that day,” says Frost.
But he does have a reminder of that meeting. Today, a photo of Frost shaking hands with Kennedy, a photo taken by the late Union Leader correspondent Earl O. Anderson, occupies a prominent location in the living room of Frost’s home on Old Lake Shore Road. In 1955-56 Frost took part in a memorable expedition to Antarctica aboard the Atka, an icebreaker, which was mapping the continent. “It was exciting, knowing that you were going places where no one had ever been before,’’ Frost recalls. After retiring from the Navy in 1963, Frost wanted to go to college and start a new career and was baffled by a ruling that he wasn’t eligible under the GI Bill, a ruling which was finally reversed with the assistance of U.S. Senator Tom McIntyre, at that time the only Democrat on the state’s congressional delegation. He went on to get his master’s degree and, after teaching for several years served 18 years in vocational rehabilitation with the Department of Health and Human Services. The Friday presentation took place at a meeting of the Belknap County Committee on Aging which was held at the First United Methodist Church in Gilford. Frost and his wife, who was once a semifinalist in the Mrs. U.S. Navy competition and had an active career in the social services, including heading up the Foster Grandparent Program at Laconia State School, were presented with special U.S. Navy coins by Senior Chief Dan Clark of the U.S. Navy Support Center in Manchester, one of four senior naval officers at the ceremony.

Former State Senator Cohen endorses Laconia Freemasons hosting open house Andrew Hosmers’ bid for Congress LACONIA — Andrew Hosmer announced Friday that his candidacy for the 2012 Democratic nomination in New Hampshire’s First Congressional District has been endorsed by Burt Cohen of New Castle. Cohen is a champion for progressive issues who currently hosts “The Burt Cohen Show” and “Fine Aged Rock” on 106.1 FM radio. He was elected to seven terms in the State Senate, including having served as Senate majority leader. “I am thrilled to have Burt join our team,” Hosmer said. “Every day, our campaign gains more support because Granite Staters are tired of Washington ignoring what’s important to the middle class. While Congress bickers and fights, New Hampshire families are struggling and need help. I am committed to making sure we give Frank Guinta and his tea-party allies a one way ticket back to New Hampshire next November.” “I believe that Andrew Hosmer is our best candidate to take on Frank
Guinta next fall,” Cohen said. “He has the ability to reach voters that might have voted for Guinta in 2010 but are dissatisfied with his performance in Congress. We need to move forward and we can’t do that by fighting the battles of the past and that’s why I am proud to stand with Andrew and his campaign for Congress.” Hosmer, a Laconia resident, is an executive manager at AutoServ, his wife Donna’s family owned car dealership with locations in Laconia, Tilton and across the Granite State. AutoServ employs nearly 200 individuals, all of whom are provided with family-supporting wages and health insurance. In addition, Hosmer is an active member of his local community, serving as a member of the board of the Belknap County Economic Development Council, chairman of the Holy Trinity Endowment Board, and coaching youth soccer in Laconia. He and Donna have four school-aged children, and they have lived in the Lakes Region for nearly 20 years. To date, three Democrats have
LACONIA — On Saturday, Oct. 15, there will be an open house at all Masonic Lodges in New Hampshire, including the Laconia Lodge at 63 Court Street. Everyone is welcome to come to the lodge for a tour from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Duane H. Stanton, Master of the Laconia Lodge, stated his belief that a paper delivered by Wayne T. Adams at the July, 2010 Convocation of the Maine Masonic College in Bangor, Maine — and published in “The Northern Light” Masonic magazine speaks to the aspirations of Freemasonry. “Looking back over more than three centuries of Freemasonry, I have come to the conclusion that Masonry’s periods of greatest expansion have occurred when two things happen: first, when Masonry speaks to the individual needs and aspirations of a large number of men; second, when Masonry speaks to the collective needs and aspirations of society as a whole. How does Masonry speak? It speaks by doing three things: affirming values, building relationships and strengthening communities. There are two broad categories of values taught in Masonry. There are the components of an individual belief system: a personal philosophy which we hope to live by and pass on. Brotherly love, relief and truth; the theological virtues: faith, hope and charity; and what we call the cardinal virtues: temperance, fortitude, prudence and justice. Each one of us is a work in progress, ever striving for a quality which we can never quite attain, ever struggling
against the temptation to backslide, and ever confident that improvement is an aim worthy of our lifelong effort. The second category of Masonic values are the civic virtues of equality, freedom and toleration. These values spring from the Enlightenment thinking of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Those Masons were radical thinkers in their own time. Indeed, they were thought subversive by the political and ecclesiastical establishment of the time. They were so subversive that they took cover in an organization that professed to be nothing more than the continuation and veneration of the work ethic of the ancient and honorable guilds of stonemasons. We reflect on these tasks – so firmly enjoined on us – and realize that they served as the founding principles not only of this fraternity but of our nation as well. It is important to remember that the United States was the first nation founded on a set of principles. I believe there is a general aspiration in America to temper the extremist rhetoric and to see how we can bring people together to build the kind of country we want to have. Further, I believe that any movement or organization which espouses those goals is going to be attractive to people. Our personal belief system, our lodges and our nation are always a work in progress. We have an opportunity to be a part of that work – affirming values, building relationships and strengthening communities at a time when our country never needed those things more urgently.”

OBAMACARE from page 2 gave the administration broad authority to make changes. Long-term care includes not only nursing homes, but such services as home health aides for disabled people. Known as CLASS, the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports program was a longstanding priority of the late Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. Although sponsored by the government, it was supposed to function as a self-sustaining voluntary insurance plan, open to working adults regardless of age or health. Workers would pay an affordable monthly premium during their careers, and could collect a modest daily cash benefit of at least $50 if they became disabled later in life. The money could go for services at home, or to help with nursing home bills. But a central design flaw dogged CLASS. Unless large numbers of healthy people willingly sign up during their working years, soaring premiums driven by the needs of disabled beneficiaries would destabilize it, eventually requiring a taxpayer bailout. After months insisting that could be fixed, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, finally admitted Friday she doesn’t see how. “Despite our best analytical efforts, I do not see a viable path forward for CLASS implementation at this time,” Sebelius said in a letter to congressional leaders. The law required the administration to certify
that CLASS would remain financially solvent for 75 years before it could be put into place. But officials said they discovered they could not make CLASS both affordable and financially solvent while keeping it a voluntary program open to virtually all workers, as the law also required. Monthly premiums would have ranged from $235 to $391, even as high as $3,000 under some scenarios, the administration said. At those prices, healthy people were unlikely to sign up. Suggested changes aimed at discouraging enrollment by people in poor health could have opened the program to court challenges, officials said. “If healthy purchasers are not attracted ... then premiums will increase, which will make it even more unattractive to purchasers who could also obtain policies in the private market,” Kathy Greenlee, the lead official on CLASS, said in a memo to Sebelius. That “would cause the program to quickly collapse.” That’s the same conclusion a top government expert reached in 2009. Nearly a year before the health care law passed, Richard Foster, head of long-range economic forecasts for Medicare warned administration and congressional officials that CLASS would be unworkable. His warnings were disregarded, as Obama declared his support for adding the long-term care plan to his health care bill.

ALABAMA from page one thinking about leaving Alabama because of the possibility of being arrested as an illegal immigrant and the hostility he now feels from residents. Now, Cardenas said he will stay for at least awhile longer. “It’s not easy to leave everything you have worked so hard for,” Cardenas said. The judges let stand part of the law that allows police to check a person’s immigration status during a traffic stop. Courts also can’t enforce contracts involving illegal immigrants, such as leases, and it’s still a felony for an illegal immigrant to do business with the state for basic things like getting a driver’s license, the judges ruled. Their 16-page decision contained very little discussion about their ruling. The appeals court blocked part of the law that required school officials to verify the citizenship status of students enrolled after Sept. 1. It also barred enforcement of a section that let police file a misdemeanor charge against anyone who is in the country illegally and doesn’t have federal registration papers.

Hallelujah Bell Choir to entertain at Belknap Mill’s 188th anniversary party LACONIA — The Hallelujah Bells choir will entertain at the Belknap Mill’s 188th anniversary celebration on Friday, November 4. Stephen Cotter, president of the Belknap Mill Society, said the bell ringers were chosen to celebrate the 1823 Holbrook Bell that still resides in the Mill’s bell tower and to honor, in part, the society’s ‘Bell Ringer’ donors. “We look forward to enjoying music provided by this local handbell choir at our upcoming fundraising event,” said Cotter. Victoria Woods Parrish, Pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Gilford and director of the ensemble, says that good handbell players are not only good musicians, but are also good at solving puzzles. She said that handbells and chimes are unique instruments because it takes a corps to play. Players learn to work cooperatively, listening to each other as well as following a director, other than like other instrumentalists who play the whole line alone. Each ringer is responsible for two to a dozen bells and has to find the notes – maybe one or two in this measure or ten in that – out of all the notes written on the page. The coordination of
the bell ringers requires talent and dedication and all the ringers read from a complete score. The Hallelujah Bells choir started about eight years ago by a group of teenagers and senior citizens with two octaves of bells. Over the years, more bells and chimes have been added. Almost every year someone new joins the group, which number at about 10 at the present time. The group plays a mixture of classical, religious and secular music. The anniversary celebration that will begin with refreshments and hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 p.m., followed by a buffet dinner at 6:30 p.m.provided by area restaurants serving their signature dishes. Tickets are available by contacting the Belknap Mill at 524-8813. This event is sponsored in part by Contigiani’s Catering Service, Belknap Landscape Company and Appletree Nursery. Built in 1823, the Historic Belknap Mill is the oldest unaltered brick textile mill in America and presently serves as a center promoting the support of the arts, cultural growth and community activities. In addition to its educational exhibits and art gallery, the Mill is available for special events, programs and meetings.

Audubon Society presenting Nighthawk program Thursday night at Loon Center MOULTONBOROUGH — On Thursday, October 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Loon Center in Moultonborough, the Lakes Region Chapter of the New Hampshire Audubon Society will feature a presentation about the stateendangered Common Nighthawk. The presenter is Becky Suomala, a biologist with NH Audubon, and the coordinator of Project Nighthawk. Nighthawks are declining throughout their range, and biologists do not know why. The dawn and dusk “peent” call of these birds was once a familiar sound in cities and towns throughout New Hampshire, where they nested on flat, pea stone gravel roofs and fed
on insects attracted to city lights. In recent years, rubber and PVC have largely replaced pea stone roofing, and nesting nighthawks have disappeared from many New Hampshire towns. New Hampshire Audubon initiated Project Nighthawk in 2007 to investigate the potential for restoring nesting nighthawks by placing simple gravel “nest patches” on flat rooftops. She will also share the latest news on nesting nighthawks in the Ossipee Pine Barrens and share stories on the successes and failures of nighthawk nests that Project Nighthawk volunteers have monitored.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn
Waterfront properties reduced in price to sell Fall may be here, but there were still seven waterfront sales on Winnipesaukee last month at an average price of just $714,357. That compares to eight sales last September at an average of $941,938. There were two sales over the $1-million mark compared to three last September. For the first three quarters of this year there have been 76 transactions on the big lake at an average sales price of $1.04-million and a median sales price of $840,000. For the same period last year there were 67 transactions with a slightly higher average sales and median price of $1.16-million and $858,000 respectively. So total sales are up 13-percent over last year which is great, but there has been a slight but definite trend toward lower priced waterfront sales. There have been 45 transaction under $1-million this year compared to 37 for the first three quarters of last year. On the high end there were three sales breaking the $3-million mark so far this year compared to five sales for the same period last year. The least expensive sale on Winnipesaukee was at 157 Mount Major Highway in Alton. This home is actually across the street from the lake but has 60 feet of frontage and a dock on the water. This seasonal, two bedroom (plus a loft) cottage has a knotty pine interior, brick fireplace, and a screened porch overlooking Alton Bay. There’s also a waterfront deck to hang out on with a pitcher of icy margaritas. This little place was first listed way back near the peak of the market in July of 2006 at $389,900, was on the market for a couple of years, and then re-listed in December of 2010 for $250,000. It came back on the market again this past March for $199,000, was reduced to $189,000, and went under contract for $155,000. So all it took was five years and a $234,000 price drop to find a buyer. The current tax assessment stands at $216,300. I’m not sure if the seller is

ecstatic or crying? An older 1964 vintage lake home at 420 Edgewater Drive on Governor’s Island in Gilford also sold after 675 days on the market. This 2,626-square-foot four bedroom classic lake home has two full and two half baths, a living room with lots of wood, soaring ceilings and the requisite stone fireplace, a den, large kitchen, and great views of the lake. The 1.7-acre lot is level, has a sandy beach, and a permanent covered dock. The question here is whether it will be used as is or if it will make way for a newer, larger home. This home was originally listed at $2.395-million, was reduced to $1.495-million and sold for $1.15-million. It is currently assessed for $1.56-million. The largest sale for the month was in Wolfeboro at 3 Wyanoke Gate Lane. This 3,600-square-foot, open concept, contemporary was built in 1980 and features 10 rooms, four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a chef’s kitchen with granite counter-tops, separate dining area, cathedral ceilings and stone fireplace, and views of the lake from almost every room. Outside there is a grand patio and a cabana over the boat house that are perfect for waterside entertaining. This home is located on a well landscaped 1.38acre lot with 200-feet of frontage on Winter Harbor. It also has access to a private association beach and tennis courts just down the nature trail. This great property was listed at $1.775-million, subsequently reduced in steps down to $1.295-million and sold for $1.188-million after 648 days on the market. This property is currently on the Wolfeboro tax roles at a value of $1.542 million. Sounds like the new owner got a good deal… Without trying to sound bleak, if you average the last two sales above, it took an average price reduction of $933,500 and 661 days to sell them. It just goes to show how long it takes to sell a property that is not priced correctly. For all the waterfronts that
sold for over a $1-million in the first nine months of 2011, the average sales price was $346,000 less than the original asking price and they took 268 days on market to sell. Over on little sister Lake Winnisquam, there were no sales last month and only one last September. I hate getting skunked. But for the first three quarters of this year there have been a total of 17 sales that sold at an average price of $508,254 after an average 99 days on the market. For the same period in 2010 there were 12 properties sold at an average price of $564,104 with an average 135 days on market. Up on Squam there was just one sale in September and that was at 35 Grapevine Cove Road in Holderness. This 1974 vintage contemporary was completely and tastefully remodeled in 2003 and has a nice open floor plan. It has 1,536-square-feet of lake loving space, three bedrooms, two baths, hardwood floors, stone fireplace, great kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and sliders that lead out to a large deck overlooking Golden Pond. This home sits on a level .32-acre lot with 90-feet of frontage with a sandy beach and permanent dock. This great waterfront retreat was listed at $849,000 and sold for $800,000 after only 102 days on the market. This property is currently assessed at $670,860. For the year to date there have been six sales on Squam with an average price of $1.11-million compared to just two for the same period last year. It’s great to be three times better than last year, right? So through nine months, the total number of waterfront homes sold in the Lakes Region are up slightly from last year while prices seem to have fallen slightly. Many of the successful sales are coming after long periods of time on the market and usually after some price reductions to bring them down to a point that buyers are able to see true value and potential upside in their purchase. For complete information on these and all the other waterfront sales visit www.lakesregionrealestatenews.com . You can also receive these reports by email. Roy Sanborn is a REALTOR® for Roche Realty Group, at 97 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith and can be reached at 677-8420. Data was compiled as of 10/12/11 using the Northern New England Real Estate MLS System.

uch is the magic that happens every day at New Hampshire Humane Society, a dog like Terrell, slated for death at a shelter down south, travelled to the granite state, where he could at least have a fighting chance for a loving home. In truth, he was a bit of a wild man back in June, when he arrived, but under the guidance and positive leadership of volunteers assigned to helping him overcome his quirks, young Terrell a Labrador mix, has blossomed into a wonderful, loyal canine companion. He loves to travel to places where he can spread cheer, lately area nursing homes where he greets the elders calmly, immediately flopping on his back for a tummy rub. He is a dog
that needs humans that can ensure he is included and provided with plenty of interaction and exercise. He may not be able to resist cats, and of course, would like to be the one true
canine in your home. Please visit Terrell during our October Adopt a Shelter Dog promotion… for more information call 603524-3252 or check www. nhhumane.org for details.

Get Fuzzy TUNDRA
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won’t be sure if someone is being aggressive with you or is simply angry with the world. Either way, the best thing is to leave the hot heads behind as you steer toward tranquil horizons. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Loved ones may inconvenience you, but you are happy for the opportunity to demonstrate your loyal and abiding affection. It’s nice, after all, to be needed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A bit of nostalgia calls you back and makes it difficult to let go of old stuff, even when you’re absolutely sure you have no use for it in your current incarnation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Are you seeing romance or opportunity where it doesn’t exist? If so, pat yourself on the back. Not seeing it will ensure that it never exists. With your way, there will always be possibility. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You understand the many ways in which you are tremendously fortunate. As you get this at a very deep level, you’ll create the kind of good fortune that few experience in this lifetime. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 15). You’re a supernova. The next six weeks show you taking risks to move your life in a new direction. You’ already will be passionate about a project when a partner adds fuel to your fire in November. Family and special friendships end the year on a sweet note. There’s a fun plot twist in your professional life in February. Taurus and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 25, 41, 3 and 40.
by Chad Carpenter
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your chances of achieving one of your ambitions before the month is over are quite good. Much depends on the work you do today and your ability to repeat this work more or less daily. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know what you want. Even when you think you don’t know, you realize that you’re just momentarily afraid to say it out loud or admit it to yourself. Boldly remind yourself now of what you already know. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). “What if?” isn’t always a good question to ask yourself. One upsetting question leads to another, e.g., “What if I said the wrong thing?” Behave as though there are no “ifs.” Be certain in your course. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Expectation will play a role in your success. That’s why it’s important to imagine a happy outcome before you even begin a project. When the time comes, you’ll create what you imagined. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The winds of change will be more forceful than usual, so stay flexible. The more pliant you are the better you’ll handle all the excitement. The branch that bends won’t break. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t know the possibilities unless you push past what everyone else is doing. Your charming, sly smile makes it easier for you to do this. You won’t believe what you can get away with! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You feel inclined to favor fantasy over reality, and who could blame you? Your imagination is absolutely splendid. There’s a fine line between delusion and brilliance.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Oct. 15, the 288th day of 2011. There are 77 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 15, 1951, the classic situation comedy “I Love Lucy” premiered on CBS with the episode “The Girls Want to Go to the Nightclub.” On this date: In 1858, the seventh and final debate between senatorial candidates Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas took place in Alton, Ill. In 1860, 11-year-old Grace Bedell of Westfield, N.Y., wrote a letter to presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln, suggesting he could improve his appearance by growing a beard. In 1917, Dutch Dancer Mata Hari, convicted of spying for the Germans, was executed by a French firing squad outside Paris. In 1928, the German dirigible Graf Zeppelin landed in Lakehurst, N.J., completing its first commercial flight across the Atlantic. In 1945, the former premier of Vichy France, Pierre Laval, was executed for treason. In 1946, Nazi war criminal Hermann Goering (GEH’-reeng) fatally poisoned himself hours before he was to have been executed. In 1964, it was announced that Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev (KROOSH’chef) had been removed from office. In 1969, peace demonstrators staged activities across the country as part of a “moratorium” against the Vietnam War. In 1976, in the first debate of its kind between vice-presidential nominees, Democrat Walter F. Mondale and Republican Bob Dole faced off in Houston. In 1991, despite sexual harassment allegations by Anita Hill, the Senate narrowly confirmed the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, 52-48. One year ago: The Obama administration reported that the federal deficit had hit a near-record $1.3 trillion for the just-completed budget year. Today’s Birthdays: Singer Barry McGuire is 76. Actress Linda Lavin is 74. Rock musician Don Stevenson (Moby Grape) is 69. Actress-director Penny Marshall is 68. Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Palmer is 66. Singer-musician Richard Carpenter is 65.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband and my son-in-law are both alpha males. My daughter and I are very close. In the early years of my daughter’s marriage, there was a small power struggle between her husband and me, but I bit my tongue until it bled. We seem to have reached detente. My husband, however, has not. “Joe,” my daughter’s stepfather, is a smart, nice guy. I married him when my daughter was in high school, and she respects him a great deal. She frequently asks for his advice and help. The problem is that my son-in-law, “Todd,” bristles at any advice from Joe and refuses to accept it. Then Joe becomes angry and cannot accept that Todd doesn’t want his territory invaded. We live several states away, but they need our help taking care of our granddaughter, so we visit regularly, always at their request. The visits always start out well, but after a day or two, the arguments begin, and I feel caught in the middle. Todd already has a fragile ego because my daughter is the breadwinner. He cannot tolerate Joe’s opinions on anything, and I can’t ask my daughter to help navigate this issue, because she will rightly back her husband. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Just writing this has helped reduce my blood pressure from our last trip. -Frustrated in Kentucky Dear Kentucky: It seems your daughter has married someone very much like her stepfather. Allow her to handle her husband her own way. You can work on yours. Joe doesn’t like that his advice isn’t appreciated, so try to get him to understand that Todd is sensitive to being told what to do -- just as Joe would be. Arrange your visits so your time together is limited. Stay in a motel if you can afford it. Go out for dinner by yourselves, saying you “want to give them privacy,” or better, insist on babysitting so they can have a romantic dinner out. When the two men have an unavoidable altercation and your blood pressure rises, leave the room and let them
hash it out themselves. Dear Annie: I am 14 and just started high school. I have always been friends with younger kids, so I am worried about making friends when there isn’t anyone younger. I go to a small school, and there aren’t a ton of people. I am friendly with everyone, but don’t have any really good friends I can count on. I had one friend last year who became competitive. She would make fun of me and get my other friends to join along. She still thinks we are good friends, but I am having other thoughts. I want to find a new best friend. Am I freaking out over nothing? -- Confused Dear Confused: Navigating high school can be socially challenging, but it won’t help to become anxious. Work on developing your self-confidence -- it is highly attractive. And remember, not everyone is “best friend” material, and thinking you must find someone puts pressure on you. If you are friendly and easy to be around, you will find people to hang with. Dear Annie: This is in response to the self-absorbed “Disappointed Reader,” who thought her in-laws were too demanding by wanting occasional calls and visits. Some of my friends have discussed this attitude. We decided that since our children feel no obligation to call or visit, we no longer have any obligation to give them anything. We’ve helped with down payments, washers, dryers, refrigerators, cars, furniture, restaurant meals and trips out of town. We’ve spent plenty on grandchildren who don’t say “thank you” or bother to send a birthday card. We were there for them when they needed us. Now they don’t have time for us. Our lawyers have rewritten our wills. “Disappointed Reader” may discover she isn’t getting so much as a personal memento. Thanks for the opportunity to give these selfish brats a heads up. -- Nana in Alabama

Modern interpretation of ‘Pippin’ on stage at PSU’s Silver Center October 20-23
PLYMOUTH — The Department of Music, Theatre and Dance at Plymouth State University will present a modern interpretation of the musical Pippin, October 20-23 in the Hanaway Theatre at the Silver Center for the Arts. Bob Fosse directed and choreographed the original Broadway show in 1972, starring Ben Vereen as “the Leading Player” and John Rubenstein as Pippin. The production addresses adult themes. The musical uses the device of a mysterious acting troupe led by a “Leading Player” to follow a young prince, Pippin, eldest son of Charlemagne, through his quest to discover the secret of true significance and fulfillment. Pippin plows through obstacles, seeking that fulfillment in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh, and the intrigues of political power.

Adjunct faculty member Morgan Murphy directs the PSU production. Murphy is a film and theatre producer, director, actor and instructor with Whitebridge Farm Productions, Plymouth State University and St. Paul’s School. He says, “If done the way Bob Fosse envisioned it, Pippin is surreal and disturbing. We’ve added today’s technology addiction to the array of obstacles and objectives thrown Pippin’s way in the original script. Facing this gauntlet, Pippin has to navigate his way to his own sense of identity and purpose…what does he want to be when he grows up?” The cast includes theatre arts majors Luke Meierdiercks, a junior from St. Johnsbury, Vt., portraying Pippin; Mervin Marvey a senior from Rustenburg, South Africa, portraying the Leading Player; Samantha St. Onge, a senior from Londonderry, portraying
