Drunken man said to have threatened police before surrendering LACONIA — Police were able to take an unidentified allegedly intoxicated man into custody yesterday at 129 Franklin Street but not before the Belknap Regional Special Operation Group was called. Police said they were called to the home for a “highly-intoxicated 26-year-old male” who told them via cell phone that he didn’t want contact with the police and would shoot see DRUNK page 10

County says no to offer of free Humvee BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Belknap County Commissioners voted 2-1 Wednesday morning to deny a request from the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department to take possession of a free surplus Humvee. Lt. David Perkins presented the request on behalf of the department, saying that the vehicle was one of three recently acquired by the town of Gilford through the U.S.
Department of Defense surplus program. Gilford, which kept one of the Humvees and gave another to the city of Laconia, offered the third vehicle to the county. Perkins said he Humvee, a 2010 fourwheel drive vehicle with a pickup body and four doors, is in excellent condition with only 3,000 miles on it. He said the department could use the vehicle in weather emergencies, for moving equipment to and from communications sites and for moving
training equipment. ‘’Why in the world would you want a Humvee?’’ asked Commission Chairman Ed Philpot, who said that the department had never before requested such a vehicle and wondered if a real need it exists. He said that even though the vehicle could be obtained with little expense, ‘’there’s always a downstream cost. These vehicles are very expensive to maintain see HUMVEE page 10

LACONIA — The Graphic Design program at Lakes Region Community College has been part of the curriculum since the school’s founding. Originally conceived with the printing industry in mind, the program has adjusted with emerging technologies and is now more computer-based than ever before. For Graphic Design students, the program offers access to an industry in which they can attract clients from around the world without having to leave the Lakes Region.

Tom Goulette, vice president of Academic Affairs at the college, was head of the Graphic Design program for 22 years before being named to his current post. Although it is not as numerous as the school’s popular Fire Science and Liberal Arts programs, he said “It is a very healthy program for the college and has been for years.” There are currently about 35 students pursuing a graphic arts degree at the college. When he began instructing, Goulette said, the students focused on “hand skills,” such as airsee GRAPHIC ARTS page 12
BELMONT — Selectmen have asked Planning Director Candace Daigle to justify the department’s need for a land use planning technician after reviewing the department’s 2013 budget request. They tabled her proposal Monday night. Chairman Jon Pike led the discussion by asking Daigle if Belmont’s Planning Department was busy enough to warrant the position. When she provided the board with her budget justification, Pike said he wanted to review it fully before he made any decisions. He also acknowledged he was asking “hard questions” in anticipation of being asked those same questions by the Budget Committee. “I know staffing is a see BELMONT page 10

Nike severs ties with Lance Armstrong
NEW YORK (AP) — Nike has severed ties with cyclist Lance Armstrong, citing insurmountable evidence that he participated in doping and misled the company about those activities for more than a decade. The clothing and footwear company said Wednesday that it was terminating Armstrong’s contract “with great sadness.” “Nike does not condone the use of illegal performance enhancing drugs in any manner,” it said in a statement. Armstrong said Wednesday, just minutes before the announcement from Nike, that he was stepping down as chairman of his Livestrong cancer-fighting charity so that the organization can steer clear of the whirlwind surrounding its founder. A representative for Armstrong could not be immediately reached for comment. Nike Inc., based in Beaverton, Ore., said it plans to continue its support for Livestrong.

High school hockey coach quits amid Zumba scandal KENNEBUNK, Maine (AP) — A longtime high school hockey coach whose name appeared on a list of men accused of paying a local Zumba fitness instructor for sex has stepped down, the first known job loss associated with the scandal. Kennebunk High School coach Donald Hill told school officials he wouldn’t seek to renew his contract for next season after 14 years as head coach, school Superintendent Andrew Dolloff said Wednesday. The coach cited personal reasons, Dolloff said. Police on Tuesday released the names,
ages and addresses of 21 men to receive summonses after being accused of engaging a prostitute, and many more names will be released in the coming weeks. A lawyer who’s seen the list said more than 150 people are suspected of being johns. Hill, 52, was listed alongside a former mayor and several businessmen in southern Maine. Men from Massachusetts and New Hampshire also are on the list. The coach, who’s from Old Orchard Beach, a few towns north of Kennebunk, didn’t immediately return a cellphone
message seeking comment Wednesday. It was unclear if he is married or has a family. Kennebunk, a town of about 10,000 residents known for its beaches, sea captain’s mansions and New England charm, was thrust into the media spotlight after 29-year-old Zumba instructor Alexis Wright was charged this month with engaging in prostitution in her dance studio and in an office across the street. Police said Wright videotaped many encounters without her clients’ knowledge see ZUMBA page 11
NEW YORK (AP) — A Bangladeshi man who came to the United States to wage jihad was arrested in an elaborate FBI sting on Wednesday after attempting to blow up a fake car bomb outside the Federal Reserve building in Manhattan, authorities said. Before trying to carry out the alleged terrorism plot, Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis went to a warehouse to help assemble a 1,000-pound bomb using inert material, according to a criminal com-
plaint. He also asked an undercover agent to videotape him saying, “We will not stop until we attain victory or martyrdom,” the complaint said. Agents grabbed the 21-year-old Nafis — armed with a cellphone he believed was rigged as a detonator — after he made several attempts to blow up the bomb inside a vehicle parked next to the Federal Reserve, the complaint said. Authorities emphasized that the plot never posed an actual risk. However, they
claimed the case demonstrated the value of using sting operations to neutralize young extremists eager to harm Americans. “Attempting to destroy a landmark building and kill or maim untold numbers of innocent bystanders is about as serious as the imagination can conjure,” said Mary Galligan, acting head of the FBI’s New York office. “The defendant faces appropriately severe consequences.” Nafis appeared in federal court in Brooksee PLOT page 4
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Two brothers from central New York have claimed a $5 million lottery prize for a scratch-off ticket they bought at their parents’ Syracuse store six years ago, state officials said. Andy Ashkar, 34, of Camillus, and Nayel
Ashkar, 36, of Cicero, came forward March 1, just 11 days before the top prize in the “$500,000,000 Extravaganza” scratch-off game would have expired, New York Lottery said. Andy Ashkar said he bought the ticket
at his parents’ convenience store in Syracuse in 2006 and decided to share the winnings with his brother, officials said. The agency said the younger brother said he waited so long to claim his prize because see LOTTERY page 12

Lakes Region United Way moves business operations center to Plymouth; Laconia headquarters is for sale By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Earlier this month, Lakes Region United Way underwent what President Jack Terrill yesterday described as “an internal shuffle, which he said will enable the organization to foster greater synergies with its partners and broaden its presence in the community while trimming its operating costs”. Last year, United Way merged with the Whole Village Family Resource Center in Plymouth and in the process acquired the later organization’s headquarters at 258 Highland Street in Plymouth, where more than a dozen non-profit agencies are housed. Terrill said that all business operations have been moved to Plymouth, where Kevin Conway and Kristine Perry will work together, consolidating and streamlining administrative and financial operations. While continuing with her community development and family support in eastern Grafton County at Whole Village, Joyce Palmer has become Resource Development Director of Lakes Region United Way, assuming some of the responsibilities that fell to PLOT from page 2 lyn to face charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to al-Qaida. Wearing a brown T-shirt and black jeans, he was ordered held without bail and did not enter a plea. His defense attorney had no comment outside court. The defendant had sought assurances from an undercover agent posing as an al-Qaida contact that the terrorist group would support the operation. “The thing that I want to do, ask you about, is that, the thing I’m doing, it’s under al-Qaida?” he was recorded saying during a meeting in bugged hotel room in Queens, according to the complaint. In a September meeting in the same hotel room, Nafis “confirmed he was ready to kill himself during the course of the attack, but indicated he wanted to return to Bangladesh to see his family one last time to set his affairs in order,” the complaint said. But there was no allegation that Nafis actually received training or direction from the terrorist group. Prosecutors say Nafis traveled to the U.S. on a student visa in January to carry out an attack. In July, he contacted a confidential informant, telling him he wanted to form a terror cell, the criminal complaint said. In further conversations, authorities said Nafis
Charged with a crime? Tough case?
Judi Taggart, who retired last summer. Marty Humphrey, who has been assigned to development and community relations at Whole Village, will join Palmer on a part-time basis. Alan Robichaud, community development director for Belknap County, has moved to the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce building on South Main Street in Laconia, where he will share space with Karmen Gifford, executive director of the chamber and Carmen Lorentz, executive director of the Belknap County Economic Development Council. The move, Terrill said, recognized the close relationship between social progress and economic development. With the restructuring, the United Way’s offices at 95 Water Street in Laconia have been listed for sale, with the intention of investing the proceeds in other assets that will have a more significant impact on the community than housing personnel. Despite the reshuffling all contact information remains unchanged and the Lakes Region United Way and its staff can still be reached at 524-6864.
proposed several spots for his attack, including the New York Stock Exchange — and that in a written letter taking responsibility for the Federal Reserve job he was about to carry out, he said he wanted to “destroy America.” Other communications took place through Facebook, the complaint said. A Twitter account with the suspect’s name and photo had six followers and two messages and was linked to a Facebook page that had been taken down. Nafis attended Southeast Missouri State University during the spring semester, which ran from January to May, university spokeswoman Ann Hayes told the Southeast Missourian newspaper. He was pursuing a bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity. Hayes said Nafis requested a transfer of his records in July and the university complied, though she couldn’t say where the records were transferred. On Wednesday, federal officials were at the New York home where Nafis was staying, a red brick building in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens. Owner Rafiqul Islam said Nafis was staying with his second-floor tenants, and he was told he was related to the family. The tenants didn’t answer their door and their apartment was dark. Islam said Nafis had only lived there about a see next page

Students to light up Laconia this evening to call attention to value of after-school programs By RogeR Amsden LACONIA — Project EXTRA!, an academic enrichment after school program that serves about half of the students in the Laconia School District, will be lighting up the city tonight with hundreds of luminaries at all five city schools and at other locations. The luminaries, candles which are lit in paper bags weighted down by sand, are designed to call attention to the role that the after school programs play in the lives of about 800 students in the city. Christine Gingerella, who took over the new director for Laconia’s Project EXTRA in August, says that the event is part of a nationwide Lights On After School program to raise awareness of the power of after school programs. She said that the local celebration has its own little twist through the use of luminaries, which are common sights on Christmas Eve. ‘’My father always did this with his grandchildren at Christmas time and it was a really fun thing to do.,’’ says Gingerella, who at Tuesday night’s Laconia School Board meeting passed out candles and paper bags to members of the school board and others at the meeting. Tonight from 4:30 to 5:30 the luminaries will be lit at Laconia High School, Laconia Middle School and the Woodland Heights, Elm Street and Pleasant Street elementary schools, as well as at Project EXTRA partners, the Laconia Parks and Recreation Department, the Lakes Region Boys and Girls Club and Lakes Region Child Care.
Gingerella says that each of the city’s schools has a site director: Ken Martin at Laconia High School; Jacquelyn O’Neil-Viar at Laconia Middle School; Peter Davison at Elm Street School; Kelley Gaspa, Pleasant Street School and Jake Colby at Woodland Heights School, all of whom develop programs specific to the needs of students in those schools. The project offers extended learning programs that provide tutoring, homework help and physical education activities and family nights. It is also active during the summer months when it provides diverse programs ranging from theatre camp and environmental experiences to rockets and racecars, French cooking, building bird houses, soccer and geocaching. ‘’I’m very impressed with how well organized the city’s program is,’’ says Gingerella, who plans to further develop community outreach efforts through organizations such as Better Together. She said that the city is unique in that it has developed so many programs using volunteers, including a mentoring program which will team 25 mentors with students during the coming year. She says the city program, now about 10 years old, received a second five year grant from the state’s Department of Education last spring which provides about $400,000 a year in federal funds for support of Project EXTRA. One of Gingerella’s specialties is grant writing and she has already made applications for additional program funding from local organizations.
from preceding page month or so. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the case is one more reminder that New York remains a target: “New York continues to be very
much in the mind frame of terrorism. This individual came here with the express purpose of committing a terrorist attack; he was motivated by al-Qaida. We see this threat as being with us for a long time to come.”

Democrats adoration of Bob Lamb exposes amazing double standard Ah, the political double standard. If Bob Lamb of Holderness was a Republican running for president, New Hampshire Democrats would vilify him for representing capitalism at its worst. But since he’s a Democrat running for state Senate in Grafton County, they look the other way when it comes to the details about how Lamb amassed the tidy bundle that allowed him to retire young and focus on his hobbies, one of which is politics. Lamb grew up in Massachusetts and graduated from West Point in 1977. The mid-1970s were tough years for morale at the academy; Lamb was a cadet when American helicopters were plucking fortunate South Vietnamese from rooftops in Saigon. After fulfilling his obligation to the Army, Lamb went into the lucrative world of management consulting and big banks, where he did well for himself in a manner that normally causes liberals to howl and to occupy Wall Street. First, he did three years with Peat Marwick, the forerunner to KPMG, one of today’s big four accounting firms. Then he moved to Fleet Financial, where he stayed 14 years and climbed the corporate ladder. And then he got rich quick. In June 2000, Lamb left Fleet to return to KPMG as executive vice president and chief financial officer. It was the height of the tech and dotcom boom. Eight months after Lamb rejoined KPMG, the firm spun off its consulting division through an initial public offering, later rebranding itself as BearingPoint. One can presume that all the insiders, including Lamb, did OK on the deal. Having completed his work — or getting out while the getting was good, as we shall see — Lamb resigned as CFO in late 2002 after little more than two years on the job. He rejoined his other former company, by then called FleetBoston Financial, with the same titles he’d held at BearingPoint: executive VP and CFO. According to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Lamb’s base salary, signing bonus and performance bonus totaled $1,775,000 for two months of work at the end of 2002. His contract also included stock options, pension benefits, use of corporate jets and membership at TPC Boston, an exclusive golf club where annual dues today approach $10,000 — and that’s after the initiation fee several times that amount. Life was good for Mr. Lamb. It was about to get much better for
him — and a lot worse for thousands of others. A year after Lamb rejoined Fleet, Bank of America bought the company in a $47 billion stock transaction. Lamb received a golden parachute of more than $5 million. Between salary, bonuses, stock options and severance, Lamb pocketed nearly $10 million total compensation for a year or two of work. About 17,000 people lost their jobs in the merger. Lamb, not yet 50 years old, retired to Squam Lake in Holderness — on Golden Pond, if you will — financially set for the rest of his life. Elizabeth Warren would be appalled. Meanwhile, trouble was mounting at BearingPoint, where Lamb had served as CFO when the firm went public. The company had to restate its earnings for several quarters. The stock price, which had reached $21 a share soon after the IPO, fell under $7 by the time Lamb took his new job with Fleet just months later. It was on its way to zero. There were lawsuits from investors alleging securities fraud, six of which named Lamb as a defendant. The new CEO blamed the former management team inherited from KPMG. BearingPoint went on to miss regulatory filings and default on bond payments. In 2009, the company, which had once employed more than 17,000 people, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and liquidated its assets. Substitute Boston Consulting Group for KPMG and Bain Capital for Fleet Boston, and Lamb’s corporate business career resembles that of another successful Boston businessman turned politician who lives on a lake in New Hampshire. Democrats portray Mitt Romney as a modern-day robber baron who broke up companies, stripped them of their assets and shredded jobs for his own gain. But when they have a candidate in their own midst who engaged in all that behavior without the offsetting success stories, they ignore the past. The political double standard, alive and well.

LETTERS Don’t let the Pied Pipers of the media decide your vote for you To the editor, Freedom of speech and press is a wonderful gift that our founding politicians gave us. However, it is only valuable and precious if the consumers of the words of others are considered with intelligence and some degree of skepticism. It is up to all of us voters (and would-be voters) to fully comprehend how the messages we are receiving are gathered and if there is an agenda behind them. In particular we must differentiate between news and “news” delivered with passion. News that is delivered with passion is really a point of view and is not news. The passion with which it is delivered makes it more believable to those who chose not to view it with skepticism. David Koresh and Jim Jones spoke with passion and developed followers. There have been many such passionate “free speech” leaders in human history and some have been honorable and worthy of having a following. The point is, however, that we can be easily led (in any direction) and we need to be aware that news that is delivered with conviction and passion may not be fully accurate or in our best interest. News and facts should be gathered from various sources and initially questioned if it seems to be delivered with passion and anger. The American public now receives most of its news via television and it seems that close to half the voting population receives its “news” from FOX. It is my belief that those who follow FOX news as their sole source
of “news” are being preached to from a highly biased point of view. It is not news — it is a point of view. I know that FOX News advocates will retort that with “the same can be said about MSNBC”. From the few times I have watched MSNBC I have to say that I believe that the news is much more balanced and not delivered with an agenda to affect the political culture of the country. I hope that those of us with the understanding that we can too easily be led by passionate orators and “news” -casters will take the next few weeks to be more active in pointing out that this upcoming election cycle is critical (they all are) to the future of our country. We should all vote and vote from a place of unbiased informed intelligence. Take time to watch or listen to other news organizations. Read “The Week” magazine (it presents many points of views from news and editorial sources from all over the world), listen to All Things Considered and Morning Edition on NPR, and read from various newspapers — locally the Concord Monitor and Union Leader. Form your own values! Don’t let the Pied Pipers of the media world decide your vote for you. Seriously doubt those who shout their point of view — either with voice or in writing with selected CAPITAL letters. These people are trying to get you to agree and believe they are right and that there is no need for you to believe otherwise. Consumer Beware! George D. Sutcliffe, Jr. Holderness
Most lack jobs because of recession, not because they’re lazy To the editor, During my career, I was fortunate enough to never be without a job. 15+ percent of my income before taxes went into Social Security insurance and some went to ensure that there would be unemployment/Medicaid benefits if I needed them (The Middle Class Safety Net). Luckily, I am not part of “Romney’s 47 percent”. Tens of millions of the 47 percent are minor children, elderly, retired, profoundly disabled or unemployed — hundreds of thousands are disabled veterans. Many of them paid taxes, but eventually became elderly, sick, disabled or unemployed.
Romney’s philosophy is in line with Chas. Murray (far right intellectual) who says . . . “the wealthy are rich because they are morally superior to the lazy poor and the poor are not employed because they are lazy”. Most unemployed lack jobs because of the “Great Recession” not because of laziness. “Entitlement”? Long time Governor of Texas Rick Perry (R) described what he called “treason in high places” regarding congressional benefits : free health care for life,outrageous retirement packages, paid holidays, three weeks vacation, unlimited paid sick days.

LETTERS There is reason to fear report will slant in favor of private prisons
Liberals portray opponents as scary monsters under the bed
To the editor, A consulting report is due Oct. 15 on four competing offers to build and manage a for-profit, co-ed prison or rent it back to the state. Linda Hodgdon, the commissioner of Administrative Services, promised July 11 to release this study. If one of the vendors wins a contract, this state would be the first to substantially privatize its corrections system. That would be a tragic mistake. Gov. Lynch vowed to withhold the consulting report during a recent meeting with opponents of privatization. Officials would present their own review next month, he said, based in part on the secret advice of the MGT consulting firm. It was the sole bidder on a $171,000 contract to compare the for-profit prison proposals on an apples-to-apples basis. I’d like to read that report by outside experts, led by George Vose, the former commissioner of corrections for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. There is reason to fear it will slant in favor of the private prison industry. Vose sits on the board of one of the worst prison vendors, Community Education Centers. That firm manages 5,000 halfway house offenders at any given time in New Jersey and allowed an astonishing 452 escapes in 2011. The New York Times published a recent expose on CEC as a crowded, violent gulag that profits from warehousing people with unmet constitutional rights. The Times said most inmates test positive for substance abuse and most officers are undertrained, overworked, underpaid, inexperienced short-timers. I spoke with Vose this summer, and he downplayed his clout at Community Education Centers and in New Hampshire corrections. “We’re not being asked to evaluate if prison privatization would be good policy for New Hampshire,” he explained. “We’re not a political advocacy group for anybody. Our role is to evaluate proposals based on specific criteria. And I’m only one member of a team with five people on this project.” Vose was vice president of operations at the for-profit prison vendor CiviGenics from 2002 to 2009, which agreed to repay $3.4 million in over-
To the editor, Once per year, every year I have to pay for a Widget. This Widget would normally cost $100 but I happen to qualify for a $75 off discount every year, so this Widget costs me $25 each year. I receive a notice from the Widget provider that this year they are adjusting the price of the Widget and amount of discount I qualify for. When it comes time for me to purchase my Widget I find the new cost is $50 but the discount I qualify for is reduced to $25. I don’t get a discount in what I pay for my Widget just because the price has been reduced. I am still paying the same amount. No price cut for me. A friend of mine has to purchase one Widget every year but because he earns less money than me he normally qualifies for a $90 discount and only pays $10 for his Widget. With the new pricing and discount qualifications my friend now qualifies for a $50 discount plus a $10 rebate, which means he now gets paid $10.00 for purchasing his Widget. This is a huge price cut for him. Now change the Widget to Income Tax; discount to deduction; rebate to tax credit and what you get is Mitt
charges to Massachusetts in 2007. Former state auditor Joseph DeNucci had sought $10.2 million in excessive management fees, and collected $3.5 million of it from Spectrum Health Systems, the company CiviGenics did its disputed subcontracting for. CiviGenics under Vose compiled its own sorry record of warehousing not unlike the company it merged with, yes, Community Education Centers. The bidders to take over most of the New Hampshire prison system include the GEO Group, Management & Training Corp., Corrections Corporation of America and the New Hampshire Hunt Justice Group. According to the Union Leader, they had spent $130,000 on New Hampshire lobbyists as of mid August. Widespread accounts from around the country suggest they would bring their own set of baggage. Rigorous studies show for-profit prisons are no cheaper than public prisons, and often more expensive, when you count all the hidden costs. Lynch could lawfully rush a 20-year prison takeover contract to the lame duck executive councilors before he leaves in January. I hope not. They might approve it in time to hand a mess to the November election winners. Gubernatorial candidates Ovide Lamontagne and Maggie Hassan are on record opposing private prisons. Lynch has worked for a better idea, downsizing prisons and using the savings for community corrections. That strategy has cut budgets, crime and recidivism rates in a number of states, according to the National Association of the States. Lynch knows lawmakers would never bond $300 million to build a state-owned co-ed prison, but they might okay $50 million for a women’s prison. New Hampshire Legal Assistance has filed a very winnable class action lawsuit against the women’s prison, and the courts in due time will order the state to rehabilitate women aggressively. Why wait until then? Why bind Ovide Lamontagne or Maggie Hassan to a lame duck policy of for-profit prisons they would both have a mandate to veto? Chris Dornin Concord
Let me tell you why this conservative is running as independent To the editor, It’s awfully confusing to read in the media state budget information from the two parties. One says New Hampshire has a nice surplus! Then, the other party reads about this and replies how horrible the state budget really is. The two parties continually go back and forth! Next, “letters to the editor” from the general public are all from preceding page call entitlement/welfare. So, now Romney takes back his comments on the 47 percent (AP 10/4/2012). . . “in this case,I said something that’s completely wrong”! Hey, Mr Romney, did you perhaps Mitt-Speak? Again! Pam Cote Gilford
over the place as well. What can we believe? It’s certainly understandable why the Legislature has a difficult time getting anything done. Without any understanding or compromise, everything stays at a standstill. This type of controversy is one of the main reasons I’m running as an independent (undeclared). I’d like to get down to Concord and find out for myself what the bottom line is. There are facts somewhere that I’d like to work with all sides to break through the gridlock and get something accomplished! And you wonder why this “Independent Thinking Conservative” wants to go the Concord. . . John T. O’Brien Independent Candidate for State Rep., District 2 Gilford
Romney’s plan to overhaul the tax rates. I don’t get a tax cut but I also don’t get a tax increase. My friend in the Middle Class also doesn’t get a tax increase but he does get a tax cut. If liberal progressives actually learn the facts before they speak you wouldn’t hear stories claiming that Romney is going to reduce taxes on his rich friends and the Middle Class is going to pay for it. This fact is supported by Princeton Economist Harvey Rosen, who wrote the study that Obama is distorting the facts about in order to make Romney look like an outof-touch rich guy with no compassion. It appears that liberal progressives only believe in honesty when the facts support their positions, which is seldom the case. When you don’t have the facts to base a political campaign on you make up stories about the opponents so they look like scary monsters hiding under your bed and in your closet. Are there any liberal progressives that have a brain and know how to use it? Heck, I’d settle for one with integrity. Greg Knytych New Hampton
Democrats so-called budget surplus was nothing but a myth To the editor, Last week in the Daily Sun a Democrat legislator from Hillsborough County claimed my previous letter exposing the spending habits of Gilford resident Bill Johnson and Kate Miller of Meredith, while in the legislature in 2009 were incorrect. My article was accurate and I stand by the statement they put an undue burden on the citizens of N.H. with more than 31 new taxes and fees and a $800-million deficit. Here are the facts. According to the state’s legislative website: Kate Miller Voted for: HB-644, raising the gas tax in N.H.; HB-2 that created over 31 new taxes and fees, including, a campground tax, an income tax on LLCs, new fees on auto registration, increase fees on hunting and fishing licenses, a tax increase from 8 to 9-percent on rooms and meals. She voted against HB-114: a Republican alternative House budget that did not increase any new taxes, spent 2.6-percent less than previous budget, and restored revenue sharing with municipalities — an important issue for both Gilford and Meredith. She voted against HB-521, an exemption to the communications
service tax, which would have lowered phone and Internet bills for all N.H. citizens. Her fellow Democrat Bill Johnson followed suit in many instances and advocated for an income tax — not once, but twice! Johnson and Miller also claimed credit for a state surplus. However according to the Legislative Budget Office and the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy (a non-partisan think tank) the surplus was nothing more than a “myth”. Charles Arlinghaus of the Bartlett Center states (for an example): “The 2009 Democrat Legislature borrowed $91 million for school building aid and then borrowed another $40 million to pay for the $91 million”. They borrowed money to pay the cost of borrowing other money”. In terms of accounting gimmickry, it was a budget disaster. The result was an astounding $800-million deficit with a 25-percent increase in spending. Those are the documented facts. Let us continue the honesty and fiscal responsibility into the next legislature and vote Nov. 6th for Kevin Leandro of Gilford, Collette Worsman, Bob Greemore and Herb Vadney of Meredith.

LETTERS I endorse Dave DeVoy because he has 23 years business experience
Most GOP bills have nothing to do with jobs or the economy
To the editor, Dave DeVoy, a small business owner and Army veteran, is running for Belknap County Commissioner, District 1 — Laconia, New Hampton, and Sanbornton. Dave has never run for office before and he is concerned with the direction the county is taking with higher taxes, vacant store fronts and empty industrial parks. Residents are left with limited, if any, job opportunities. I worked with Dave during the past two election cycles on several campaigns, and it was clear to me that he is a limited government fiscal conservative that believes government should be transparent and responsive to the people. Dave wants to create an environment that will increase job growth in Belknap County. He believes that people create jobs, not government. Government can either hinder or enhance the conditions for job growth. Currently, the policy of high taxes and more regulation are killing job growth.
To the editor, Here is a list of some of the 255 bills filed by current GOP legislators for the upcoming term: 1.A bill to form a state militia; 2. A bill to include a relevant phrase from the Magna Carta in new legislation (yes, really); 3. A bill to rebuild the Old Man of the Mountain; 3. A bill to allow everyone, without exception, to carry a gun; 4. A bill to ban abortion under all circumstances (even if the woman’s health is in jeopardy); 5. A bill to push through the right- to-work (for less) agenda; 6. A bill to repeal marriage equality; 7. A bill to require random drug screening for food stamp recipients (costing N.H. $3 million per year); 8. A bill to repeal the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative; 9. A bill to abolish the Department of Education; 10. A bill to repeal
Dave DeVoy’s position on lower taxes and limited government will help attract higher paying manufacturing jobs to Belknap County. As a businessman, he understands we are competing with other states across the country for these same jobs. Companies need an environment to prosper in these tough economic times. Dave will help create the environment needed to help companies consider moving to Belknap County, instead of leaving. I endorse Dave DeVoy for Belknap County Commissioner because he has 23 years of local business experience. His educational background and military experience will aid him in his determination to grow the economy in Belknap County. I believe Dave will cut out wasteful spending and prioritize all money spent. He will work to lower taxes and bring real jobs to the area. Sen. Jim Forsythe District 4 Strafford
I want you to know what liberals mean when saying something else To the editor, With only a few days before the elections, we need to be informed of how liberals speak. Here are some of the words/phrases that you will hear and their meanings. Celebrity endorsements = Honey Boo Boo and Big Bird ‘Wrong info does not mean its fake’ (Debbie Wasserman-Schultz) = we stand by our lies/cover ups. Not true = I don’t want to talk about it. Not true has replaced “whatever”. Will expose classified information = you are not cleared to hear the truth. Tax cut = only for those not paying income tax. Also, “no such thing”. Invest = spend more money on a program. Invest tax dollars into more green energy programs. Evolving = have made up mind and am trying to see how the base feels. Little people = one of the most used phrases by liberals. Means we are for the people that are not rich. See rich below. Rich = anyone that votes Republican regardless of your wealth. Tweak = increasing taxes, fees
(another word for taxes), fines (another word for taxes). Tweak is very useful when you have an unpopular position on an issue. High gas prices = not my fault, government has nothing to do with the price of gas. However, high gas prices are the fault of a Republican president. Photo ID = a poll tax, voter suppression. However, you must have them for everything else but not for voting. “You are one of us” = President Obama and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz are fond of saying this. This is true if you party with Beyonce and JayZ or you live in Weston, Florida (community of many million-dollar homes). Fair share = very popular words used by liberals. Means anyone that makes more than (pick an amount). See definition for rich. Has nothing to do with what you are paying in taxes. Some of these phrases/words were used in last night’s debate. If you listen to liberals, you will hear them. Now you know what they mean. Jim Mayotte Sanbornton
It’s simple: Forrester didn’t come to the Hebron forum & Lamb did To the editor, On Monday, Oct. 15, I traveled from my home at the far end of Holderness to Hebron Village to hear the candidates in my district speak at a public forum. I was impressed to see that every single one of them was there — with one exception — there was an empty chair where State Senator Jeannie Forrester should have been seated. By now, we all know that this is quite a contentious race. With only 24 state senators, the office is very important. So without Mrs. Forrester there
Beginning on or about October 15, 2012, a representative of the assessing department will be measuring and inspecting properties. If the owner or owner’s agent is at the property when the representative arrives, he will measure the building(s) and ask to inspect the home and any other improvements. If the owner or agent is not at the property, he will measure the building(s) and may callback at another time or leave a door hanger indicating that he has been there and requesting that the owner or agent call to schedule an appointment for an inspection of the interior of the building(s). The representative will have an identification badge and will never enter a building unless there is an owner or an agent of the owner at least 18 years of age present. We thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the assessing office at (603) 267-6700.
to speak about her views we got only half the story. Where does she stand on educational funding? On highway maintenance? On downshifting costs to the counties, cities and towns? Lots of writers have spoken quite nicely about her accomplishments at the Statehouse in the last two years but voters want to hear from the source. It’s too late for an explanation. She didn’t come to the forum and Senate candidate Bob Lamb did. Actions speak louder that words. Fran Taylor Holderness
Biden’s debate behavior will be remembered for a long, long time To the editor, A debate between candidates to determine who will be sitting as vice president of the United States for the next term is very serious business. Subjects that are vital to our nation’s future are at stake. I expected to witness a monitored debate from two gentlemen consisting of answered questions on these subjects with rebuttal. Instead, I was subjected to a rude, disrespectful candidate who interrupted the other constantly while
making animated faces and gyrations. This conduct by Joe Biden, vice president of The United States of America, reflects dishonor to his station and to his person. Long after this debate is history, it will not be remembered by the content of what was said, but rather by the unacceptable behavior of the senior member. We witnessed a debate between a buffoon and a gentleman. George Brunstad Meredith

Assessing Bulletin for the Town of Gilmanton, NH Inspection of Properties to Update and Verify Property Data The Town of Gilmanton last measured and listed all properties in 2003 and 2004 for the 2004 town-wide revaluation. In 2009, the Town adjusted its assessments to market value using a statistical update, with only properties which had sold in the two previous years being inspected. All assessments will need to be updated again in 2014. Since all properties have not been measured and inspected since 2003-2004, the Town needs to measure and inspect all buildings before 2014. The purpose of this program is to update the assessment records and to collect the most accurate property information regarding all properties in town. To reach this goal, the Town plans to inspect all properties with buildings on them between October of 2012 and November of 2013.

Carol Shea-Porter voted against the clear will of N.H. people To the editor, Just two years ago, Congress, with firm Democrat majorities and sleight of hand, passed the outrage now known as ObamaCare. This bill forces upon our country, 26+ new taxes and promises to kill numerous jobs by virtue of the penalties and rising health care costs IT creates (and is already creating). Doesn’t it bother anyone that the majority of this monstrosity’s measures are timed to start in 2013, after November’s presidential election? Doesn’t it bother anyone that the Senate, under Democrat Harry Reid, had to change it’s rules to force this bill through? Doesn’t it bother anyone that Nancy Pelosi, then speaker of the House, told us that we had to pass it before we learned what was in it? This is the mark of a dictatorship, not the democratic republic that we birthed over 200 years ago.
At a Laconia town hall in June 2010, I asked Carol Shea-Porter, how she could violate her sworn oath to represent the people of N.H. and vote for ObamaCare, when every major poll showed no support for this legislation. Her response, “it depends on which polls you believe” drew several minutes of steady booing. When a representative, of any party, votes against the known will of the people it has sworn to represent, it is time for them to leave office. Let’s not forget we dismissed Shea-Porter two years ago. Frank Guinta has promised to support a repeal of ObamaCare, which Mitt Romney has promised to sign. We need to elect a president and members of Congress who truly understand the role of REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. David Strang Gilmanton
Let’s compare the integrity of Paul Ryan with that of Joe Biden To the editor, I’m curious about the amount of box tops (Dr.) Thomas Dawson had to collect to get his PhD. He had to attend a school of not so high learning in order to get every iota of common sense removed from the interior of his cranium. His last letter screams out as written by someone who has been blinded by the rhetoric of one of the greatest snake oil salesman of all time. It is unnecessary to name that salesman as anyone with common sense knows of whom I write. Mr. Dawson writes of the lies told by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan without stating what these lie were, which is typical of a liberal/progressive. Everyone that has known the two of them personally speak to the fact that they
are people of the highest integrity. Even people in the House of Representatives who disagree with Paul Ryan say he is someone that you can trust without question. Now let’s speak of Joe Biden. Younger people probably don’t remember Joe’s first run for the office of president and why he had to remove himself from the race. Joe was doing well until someone brought up the fact he was an “admitted” plagiarist. For your sake Mr. Dawson and for the sake of other graduates of your school I will define plagiarism. Plagiarize: to “steal” and use the ideas or writings of another as one’s own. Fact check that one! Dave Schwotzer Meredith

To the editor, To the voters of State Senate District 7, Education in New Hampshire is at a crossroads. We cannot continue along the path that the extreme right-wing Legislature has led us over the past two years — which is why the State Senate race in our district is so important. The candidates’ views on education are polar opposites: Andrew Hosmer will fight for a strong public education system in New Hampshire, and Josh Youssef will work to dismantle it. Andrew Hosmer has committed to providing New Hampshire students with a solid public education system. He understands the direct correlation between quality public schools, an educated workforce, and a growing economy. He will protect the state’s responsibility to provide adequate funding for public education, which is the assurance we need after two years of uncertainty under Speaker Bill O’Brien. Josh Youssef, on the other hand, is a subscriber to the extreme agenda put

HUMVEE from page one and operate.’’ Perkins said the department had not requested a utility vehicle like the Humvee in recent budget cycles due to budget constraints and said a utility pickup truck would cost about $26,000 plus another $3,000 to $5,000 to equip. Commissioner Stephen Nedeau asked how often the Humvee would be used and Perkins said that it would be used sparingly, functioning as a search and rescue vehicle and during emergencies. Commissioner John Thomas asked how much it would cost to equip the Humvee with lights, radios and other equipment and was told it would be in the $3,500 to $4,000 range. ‘’Someone’s going to have to convince me that this is needed,’’ said Philpot. County Administrator Debra Shackett agreed that there would be maintenance costs but the opportunity to acquire a useful vehicle at no cost made a lot of sense. ‘’We don’t really need it,’’ said Nedeau, who was joined by Thomas in opposing the request. Philpot, who had been the most vocal in questioning the need for the Humvee, ended up voting to accept it. In other business, Shackett pre-
sented commissioners with her 2013 budget recommendations, which a call for a $500,000 reduction in spending, from $30,892,000 to $30,394,000. But the total amount to be raised by taxes would increase from $14 million to $15.43 million, a $1.388 million increase, or just under 10 percent. She said that the recommended budget assumes a 20-percent hike in health insurance rates, and a mandated increase in retirement costs. The budget does not include a cost of living adjustment for county employees but does include merit and step increases of up to 3 percent. Shackett said that she supports the requests for two additional full-time employees, one for Community Corrections and another for Youth Services and Diversion, She noted that federal stimulus funding has come to an end and that most county revenue sources are diminishing. Shackett asked the commissioners to review the budget and formulate questions which then can be directed to department heads about the specific budget items they have concerns with. Commisioners are due to present their 2013 budget recommendations to the Belknap County Convention in early December.
BELMONT from page one dirty word,” said Daigle, adding she felt her entire department was “fully engaged” and many things that have been accomplished around Belmont would not have happened without proper staffing. “I see your budget and I see staffing,” said Pike, who added that Daigle had broken down and quantified the time of the land use technician. The total request for the Department of Land Use in 2013 is $291,102 — up about $4,000 from 2012. The department is staffed by three full-time people including Daigle, a land use administrative clerk and the land use technician. There is also a line item of $1,830 for clerk’s salary. The position of land use technician is budgeted at just under $60,000 plus the town’s respective contributions to benefit portion of the salary including the state retirement contribution. Four hours weekly is in the Conservation Commission budget while 36 hours are attributed to planning. Daigle said Belmont has had a land use technician for 11 years. The position is currently held by Rick Ball. “I’m going to review (her budget proposal) and review it as well with the Planning Board and the Zoning Board (of Adjustments),” Pike said. Daigle told selectmen the land use technician does “quasi-engineering and legal work” for which the town
would have to subcontract if there were no land use technician. “He put together the background work for the Church Street bridge,” Daigle told the board, explaining just one of the projects performed by the technician. She said he also does much of the site review work on planning and conservation permit requests. “The town has been very supportive of our office,” Daigle said. “As a result of that we work very hard to assume other duties.” She also cited the land use technician’s work in obtaining easements for many of the municipal projects the town is undertaking, including the Main Street Revitalization Project. “If you were paying a lawyer or clerk you’d never get these results,” she said. Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin noted for selectmen that due to state budget cuts, some work that could be done for the town by the Department of Environmental Services and the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension is no longer available. Daigle said yesterday that while Belmont has not seen an uptick in singlefamily home construction, the town has seen steady increases in commercial building over the past two years. Specifically she noted the new Agway building, the planned car wash on Route 106 by A.E. Mitchell Group; the proposed doubling of Winnisquam Storage; the completely renovation of the Pensco Building in the village center; the significant expansion of Federal Express; and the new GMI Asphalt building. Daigle also said having an adequately staffed planning department makes the town more attractive for new construction. She said the permitting and regulations surrounding any construction can be confusing and onerous and hurdles faced by builders see next page

Her business partner, 57-yearold insurance agent and private investigator Mark Strong Sr., from Thomaston, has pleaded not guilty to 59 misdemeanor charges. Local officials expected a big impact on the community. Dolloff previously issued a memo to teachers and staff last week, instructing them to be on the lookout for students who have relatives on the list of names and may be teased or have trouble coping. One of the players on the hockey team said Wednesday they were instructed not to talk to the media. Team supporter Doug Oakman, who’s affiliated with the Kennebunk Ice Hockey Boosters, an orga-
nization that raises money for the team, lashed out when asked to comment about the coach’s departure, saying there are “more important things” to focus on. Town residents who are growing weary of the attention can look forward to repeating the scenario several more times as names trickle out. The police department plans to release the remaining names of john suspects every other week as they’re issued summonses. The next batch is due Oct. 26. It will take months for all the summonses to be issued and for all the john suspects to have court appearances, police Lt. Anthony Bean Burpee said. Around town on Wednesday, people were still talking about “the list” and what other names might be on it. But some locals were fed up of the spotlight. “People are definitely sick of all the news vans on Main Street,” said Travis Munroe, general manager of H.B. Provisions, a general store and deli.

He announced in August that he would no longer fight the doping allegations that have dogged him for years.

Nike signed NFL quarterback Michael Vick to a contract during his rookie year in 2001, but ended that pact in August 2007 after he filed a plea agreement admitting his involvement in a dogfighting ring. Vick spent 21 months in prison. Nike re-signed Vick, who plays with the Philadelphia Eagles, in July 2011. The company said at that time that it didn’t condone Vick’s actions, but was supportive of the positive changes he had made to better himself off the field. Shares of Nike edged slightly higher in early trading.

Andy Ashkar also told lottery officials that he also didn’t want the windfall to influence his engagement and subsequent marriage. Calls to phone numbers listed for the Ashkar brothers went unanswered Wednesday morning. Nayel Ashkar’s wife, Sara, told The Post-Standard of Syracuse on Tuesday that news of the winnings was spreading fast, with family and
friends calling to express their surprise and excitement. “It’s crazy,” she said. “Hard to believe. It’s still sinking in.” The brothers’ mother, Wasa Ashkar, said her husband, Neyef, sold the winning ticket to Andy at the couple’s Green Ale Market, but she couldn’t remember exactly when.

Frates clan’s stay on Family Fued lasted four episodes and was ‘so much fun’ By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Frates family hoped to have fun and represent well their home communities when they traveled to Atlanta in May to tape an appearance on the television game show Family Feud. Not only did they accomplish their goals, they also won more than $20,000. Amelia Hamilton-Miller, who served as captain of the Frates family team, said the road to television began with a letter her older sister, Tekla Frates, sent to producers of the game show in response to an invitation for contestants. That led to an audittion at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, Conn. A few days later, the family received a phone call inviting them to fly to Georgia. Competing for the Frates family were Larry and Joan, who together operate Frates Create Arts Center in Laconia, their son Oliver, an investment banker, daughter Amelia, who helps instruct dance classes and is also an on-air talent at 105.5 WJYY radio, and her husband Lyall Hamilton-Miller, a South Africa native who works at the Laconia Athletic & Swim Club. Ali Frates, Oliver’s wife, traveled with the family for the filming, as did Tekla. The filming took place over the course of one Saturday in May. However, the family was forbidden to discuss the details or outcome of their experience until their appearance had been aired. The family ended up playing the games four times, with their final half-hour appearance airing on Tuesday. “It was so fun, so positive,” said Amelia of their experience. “It was just fun. They treated you well, encouraged us, made us feel special.” Family Feud has been televised since 1976. The game pits two families against each other, each trying to guess common responses to survey questions; often the queries are designed to provoke eyebrow-raising responses. The Frates family won
its first game, which aired on Thursday, earning them a chance to return again. They won a second time but lost their third game. However, they were spared on a technicality. Guessing an answer to the question: “Where could you see a member of the opposite sex naked for the first time,” Amelia guessed “gymnasium,” which was initially declared incorrect. When the opposing family, though, guessed “locker room,” the answer was declared correct. In review, producers decided the responses were similar enough to both be declared correct, and the Frates family was called back for a fourth game, which they lost. The day of filming was a long one. It started with a wake-up call at 5:30 a.m., they were picked up from their hotel at 7, and filming took place from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. By the end of the day, they were exhausted from all the fun. Amelia said, “We felt like we were playing games with friends, there was just an audience there.” The biggest challenge for the characteristically outgoing Frateses was following the strict instruction to keep silent about their experience until their final appearance was aired. “We kept our mouths shut, which is pretty impressive,” said Amelia. Over the past several days, as their appearances were aired, the Frates enjoyed their moment of celebrity. Local viewing parties were organized, and old acquaintances from afar contacted them to congratulate their successes. “I’ve heard from people in Tennessee, in Oregon, that I haven’t heard form in years,” said Amelia. Now that they can speak freely about the experience, Amelia said her family’s time on Family Feud was one they’ll treasure far more than the prize money would indicate. “It ended up being a fun experience we’ll remember forever,” she said, offering special thanks to Tekla, who instigated the adventure, as well as to their friends and neighbors for the vigorous support and enthusiasm they’ve shown. “That’s been great.”
Bail revoked for man who allegedly stole compound bow
LACONIA — A Belknap County Superior Court judge revoked the personal recognizance bail of a Gilford man who allegedly broke a glass window in at attempted burglary of Curious Goods on Main Street. Brandon Heacox, 17, of 6 Cumberland Road Apt. 34 in Gilford was free on $10,000 personal recognizance bail after being indicted by a Belknap County grand jury in August for
attempted burglary. The attempted burglary was reported to Laconia Police on May 31, 2012. In September, Heacox was charged with felony receiving stolen property by Gilford Police for allegedly trying to sell a compound bow and equipment to a local sporting goods store that had been reported stolen by a see next page

Lottery spokeswoman Carolyn Hapeman said the brothers claimed their prize at the agency’s Schenectady headquarters on March 1. Unlike winning tickets for games such as Lotto and Mega Million that expire in a year, tickets for scratch-off games expire a year after a game is retired. The Extravaganza game was retired
on March 12, 2011, Hapeman said. As is routine whenever a winner is related to the owner of the store that sold the ticket, the agency conducted an investigation. The inquiry determined Ashkar’s scratch-off ticket was bought legitimately, Hapeman said. The Ashkar brothers, both employed as managers at separate central New York auto dealerships, will be introduced at a news conference at a later date, the lottery spokeswoman said.

Ed board holds ground in face of charter school protest CONCORD (AP) — Nearly 100 charter school advocates packed the New Hampshire state Board of Education meeting Wednesday to lobby members to lift the moratorium on approving new charter schools. Supporters of 11 proposed charter schools told the board that withholding approval for three more months could jeopardize prospects of the schools opening in the fall of 2013 and their eligibility for federal grant money. But Board Chairman Tom Raffio says the board cannot bind the new Legislature taking office in January to fund the proposed schools that have applications pending. Raffio said education officials will be asking the governor and Executive Council later this month to approve an additional $4.4 million in funds to cover budget shortfalls for the existing 17 charter schools in fiscal 2013. Wendie Leweck of Exeter, chairwoman of the Friends of the Seacoast High School for the Arts, asked the board to hear and approve the school’s application. “We still intend and hope to open in 2013,” Leweck said. “But we have been put off time and time again.” Raffio said it would cost an additional $8.9 million in 2013 to fund the 11 charter schools currently “in the pipeline.” Sandra Tremblay, head of program development for the proposed Innovative Futures Technical Acad-
emy in Dover, told board members they were facing “a roomful of education innovators. Please don’t alienage us.” Tremblay says her school would be open to any student in the state and she has parents from Berlin and Alton who have shown strong interest. Raffio disputed the term “moratorium,” noting that the board would entertain applications from self-sustaining schools that did not seek the $5,450 the state provides annually for each charter school student. “It’s not a moratorium,” Raffio said. “We’ve just denied pending applications.” He did not dissuade advocates from repeatedly referring to the moratorium. Eileen Liponis, executive director of the New Hampshire Public Charter School Association, said there are currently more than 2,500 students attending charter schools in New Hampshire and those schools employ 300 people. She challenged the board’s assertion it could not bind the new legislation when it had done just that by approving a new charter school in Derry several months ago. Education officials acknowledged that the new alternative high school would have to be funded next year, but stressed it’s a small charter with plans for 20-30 students. “Thank you all for your passion,” Raffio said at the close of the 90-minute hearing at the state Department of Education headquarters.
Judge hears dispute over patient records at Exeter Hospital CONCORD (AP) — A judge is deciding what limits, if any, to impose on state public health officials seeking patient records tied to the hepatitis C outbreak at Exeter Hospital. Former hospital worker David Kwiatkowski has been charged with stealing drugs from the hospital’s cardiac catheterization unit and replacing them with tainted syringes that were later used on patients. Thirty-two Exeter Hospital patients have been found to have the same strain of the liver-destroying virus Kwiatkowski carries, and information gathered by public health officials suggests more are possible, attorney Jeanne Herrick said Wednesday. Herrick was representing the state at a hearing on a request by Exeter Hospital to prohibit the state from accessing further medical records unless it is more specific in its requests. Scott O’Connell, the hospital’s lawyer, called the state’s actions abusive and over the top and insisted the hospital would be
violating both state and federal law if it provided investigators unfettered access to its records system. “Once they have access to the computer, they can surf to wherever they want to,” he said. “To give them unlimited access to sit in front of a computer and look anybody they want — your records, my records — that’s outrageous.” The hospital is willing to provide paper copies of patient records if the state requests a record by name and specifies the time frame and portion of the record it wants to review. That would give the hospital time to make sure confidential information that is specifically protected by law — such as mental health or substance abuse treatment — is redacted, O’Connell said. While both sides agreed that the state is legally allowed to collect only the minimum amount of information necessary for its investigation, the hospital argued it should be the gatekeeper in terms of allowsee next page

from preceding page ing access to that information. But Herrick said the state has a right to broad access to review information, while extracting only the minimum amount necessary. That’s what happened from the time the investigation started in May until July, when the hospital abruptly stopped cooperating, she said. “In the past two months, Exeter Hospital has made a concerted effort to disrupt the investigation,” she said. “Exeter Hospital is a business, and there are good business reasons for them to want no new cases (of hepatitis C) and no further investigation of this matter.” Asked why the state couldn’t request individual patient records by name, Herrick said she was concerned that hospital officials would tamper with them before providing copies. O’Connell called both that suggestion and the notion that the hospital was obstructing the investigation outrageous. “I’ve said at least five times today, we will give them the record of every patient they identify. And it’s just malarkey, to quote our sitting vice president — that they can’t tell us the names of people we’ve already given them information about.” Sean Joyce

Merrimack County Superior Court Judge Richard McNamara, who took the matter under advisement, compared the situation with law enforcement wiretapping. In those cases, the person in charge of secretly recording a telephone conversation has an obligation to stop the recording and minimize the invasion of privacy if the conversation turns to a medical issue or something else unrelated to the criminal activity being investigated, he said. O’Connell rejected that comparison and said the hospital should not have to “rely on the good graces of our esteemed public employees that they’re not going to violate (patient) privacy.” Kwiatkowski, a traveling medical worker whom prosecutors describe as a “serial infector,” was hired in Exeter in April 2011 after working in 18 hospitals in Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. He moved from hospital to hospital despite having been fired twice over allegations of drug use and theft, and thousands of patients in those states are being tested to see if they, too, were infected with hepatitis C, a sometimes life-threatening virus.

Meredith Hannaford donates to I-LES physical education program
MEREDITH — Thanks to a generous donation from the Meredith Hannaford Supermarket, students at Inter-Lakes Elementary School will have some new exercise equipment to use during their weekly physical education classes. Joe Gentile, general mnager of the Meredith Hannaford store, presented a donation in the amount of $300 to J.P. Swift and Chuck Yaeger, I-LES physical education teachers. The money will be used to purchase two sets of plyometric platforms. Plyometrics are a type of exercise designed to produce fast and powerful movements. Students will use the plyometric platforms to increase muscle strength, coordination, balance, and overall cardio-vascular fitness. Swift and Yaeger accepted the donation stating, “on behalf of the students at our school, we thank Hannaford Supermarket for this donation. It’s always great when we can add equipment to our program that will enhance the health and fitness of our students.”

TILTON — Doric-Centre Lodge will hold an Open House this Saturday, October 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Worshipful Master Woodbury P. Fogg invites the public to come and find out what Free and Accepted Masons are all about.

In conjunction with MVSB’s participation in the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce’s Business BooFest at the Belknap Mall today, bank employees will be handing out Parent Money Manuals to any interested attendees. The Parent Money Manual is designed to give parents ideas about how to begin discussing money with their children.
In addition, Pick Pigs™ kits will be available for all interested parents with children between the ages of three and seven. In the children’s story Pick Pigs™, Julia learns examples of saving, sharing and spending from friends, neighbors and family members. She then decides how to divide her money between her three Pick Pigs™ piggy banks – saving, sharing and spending. Each Pick Pigs™ kit includes one copy of the Pick Pigs™ children’s story, as well as the three piggy banks.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis life. Those people are still inside of you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Spiritual work is all about clearing the obstacles to free-flowing energy and increasing your awareness. You will do both today and make progress along your spiritual path. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Someone will come to you for help, but you may not see a clear way to give this person what he or she wants. Just being available to listen may be enough. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The masters suggest that true selfesteem doesn’t depend on anything outside of you. But how can humans be expected to find self-worth in oppressive environments? You’ll rectify a situation that’s clearly wrong. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your day is filled with love, fun and friendship. What makes this possible is the work you did earlier in the week. So enjoy without guilt, knowing that you deserve the happiness you experience. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are too many people who postpone or give up their dreams in order to take care of others. Unearth your buried passion because your turn is coming. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 18). It’s a year of expansion, and you’ll become known for something new. The fresh faces in your life will bring out a different side of you. December features aggressive action on the career front. January is for sorting out financial details and healing family drama, too. February and May will be exquisitely romantic. Aries and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 6, 2, 14 and 9.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Life is filled with contradictions. Instead of expecting people to be one way, you leave mental room for the possibilities. You’ll react to how things are instead of trying to force your reality onto them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be doing the upkeep necessary to keep life rolling smoothly along: the car needs an oil change, the air filters need replacing, etc. Handling it all in a timely manner boosts your confidence. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The health of a partnership depends on your ability to deal with problems together. Don’t leave an issue unresolved today, or resentments will form. Get everything out on the table. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll lead with a generous spirit and treat your loved ones the way you know they would like to be treated, even when it may not be deserved. Eventually, everything evens out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A problem will alert you that your feelings are flowing in an unhelpful direction. Once you get that message, you no longer need to pay attention to the problem. Change the way you project emotions, and the issue will go away. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Strangers sense that you’re someone to know. Stay modest. The fact that you don’t feel the need to talk about your accomplishments says that you’ve accomplished quite a lot. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Look through old pictures, notes and souvenirs from your past. It will invigorate your current scene to remember who you’ve been at different times in your

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Oct. 18, the 292nd day of 2012. There are 74 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 18, 1962, James D. Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were honored with the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology for determining the double-helix molecular structure of DNA. On this date: In 1685, King Louis XIV signed the Edict of Fontainebleau, revoking the Edict of Nantes that had established legal toleration of France’s Protestant population, the Huguenots. In 1812, during the War of 1812, the British ship HMS Frolic was captured off the Virginia coast by the crew of the USS Wasp, which was in turn captured by the HMS Poictiers. In 1867, the United States took formal possession of Alaska from Russia. In 1892, the first long-distance telephone line between New York and Chicago was officially opened (it could only handle one call at a time). In 1912, black boxer Jack Johnson was arrested in Chicago, accused of violating the Mann Act because of his relationship with his white girlfriend, Lucille Cameron. (The case collapsed when Cameron refused to cooperate, but Johnson was later re-arrested and convicted on the testimony of a former mistress, Belle Schreiber.) In 1931, inventor Thomas Alva Edison died in West Orange, N.J., at age 84. In 1961, the movie musical “West Side Story,” starring Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer, premiered in New York, the film’s setting. In 1969, the federal government banned artificial sweeteners known as cyclamates because of evidence they caused cancer in laboratory rats. In 1971, the Knapp Commission began public hearings into allegations of corruption in the New York City police department. In 1972, Congress passed the Clean Water Act, overriding President Richard M. Nixon’s veto. In 1977, West German commandos stormed a hijacked Lufthansa jetliner on the ground in Mogadishu, Somalia, freeing all 86 hostages and killing three of the four hijackers. In 2001, CBS News announced that an employee in anchorman Dan Rather’s office had tested positive for skin anthrax. Four disciples of Osama bin Laden were sentenced in New York to life without parole for their roles in the deadly 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. One year ago: Fifty wild animals were released by the owner of an eastern Ohio farm, Terry Thompson, who then committed suicide; authorities killed 48 of the creatures, while the remaining two were presumed eaten by other animals. Today’s Birthdays: Rock-and-roll performer Chuck Berry is 86. Actress Dawn Wells is 74. Actress Pam Dawber is 62. Author Terry McMillan is 61. Actor Jean-Claude Van Damme is 52. Actress Erin Moran is 52. Jazz musician Wynton Marsalis is 51. Actor Vincent Spano is 50. Rock musician Tim Cross is 46. Tennis player Michael Stich is 44. Singer Nonchalant is 39. Actress Joy Bryant is 38. Rock musician Peter Svenson is 38. Actor Wesley Jonathan is 34. Rhythm-and-blues singer-actor Ne-Yo is 33. Country singer Josh Gracin is 32.

PLYMOUTH — The Museum of the White Mountains (MWM) at Plymouth State University invites the greater Plymouth community to a Welcome Reception Thursday, October 25, from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. at the Savage Welcome Center at the PSU Ice Arena. The event is an opportunity for museum staff to introduce themselves to the community and discuss the upcoming exhibits and programs highlighting the unique history and heritage of the White Mountains. “We hope this event opens the door – before the museum itself is finished - to community involvement,” said MWM Founding Director Catherine Amidon. “The Museum of the White Mountains will be a wonderful opportunity for the community to share, learn about and celebrate the unique history and cultural legacy of the region. We look forward to sharing our progress and learning more about what the local community would most appreciate in programming as we move forward.” In addition to the reception, authors Rebecca Oreskes and Doug Mayer will be on hand to talk about their book: Mountain Voices: Stories of Life and Adventure in the White Mountains and Beyond. In this collection of interviews, fifteen profiles capture fascinating stories of travel, adventure, and lifelong passion for nature, along with the spirit of the people who choose to live in the craggy, remote North Country. Over nearly two decades, authors Mayer and Oreskes have interviewed extraordinary people whose lives are intricately linked to New Hampshire’s White Mountains. With humor, wit, and unforgettable personal style, these trailblazing pioneers describe the foundation they laid for today’s outdoors enthusiasts. The Museum, set on the campus of Plymouth State University, will open in February, 2013, with presentations, exhibitions and programs for researchers, students and the public. The MWM collection will be available digitally so visitors, regardless of their location, can enjoy the museums offerings.

We’re proud to say 100 percent in, 100 percent out, with no administration costs” said Molly King, Program Director at 98.3 LNH and Children’s Auction coordinator and board member. “The bar has been set extremely high due to our prior success and the hard work of this incredible community, but we’re going to go for it, and try to beat last year.” A list of donation guidelines can be found at www.WLNH.com . “Items have ranged from a $5 gift certificate to a $14,000 Caribbean vacation.” says King.

LACONIA — The Lakes Region Detachment of the Marine Corps League will celebrate the 14th Annual “Gathering of Marines” on Saturday, November 10, the Margate on Winnipesaukee Resort at 76 Lake Street in Laconia. The annual event was announced by Robert P. Patenaude, Commandant of the Lakes Region Detachment of the Marine Corps League #506 to commemorate the 237th birthday of the founding of the United States Marine Corps at Tuns Tavern in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on November 10, 1775. Each year Marines, old and new, from WWII to those now on active duty throughout the world, celebrate the occasion for a heritage that is unique amongst all the branches of the military services. The “Gathering of Marines” in the Lakes Region was started in 1998 by Retired Marine Corps Colonel, Norm Noel, of Meredith. The first year a few Marines in the area sat down for a dinner to celebrate the founding of the Corps which then evolved into a larger group coming together each year thereafter from all across the state to attend the event. In 2008 the “Gathering” was transferred to the Lakes Region Detachment of the Marine Corps League and remains its main activity each year. During the evening’s ceremonies, which will begin at 7 p.m., a presentation of the Colors occurs, the National Anthem, Navy and Marine Corps Hymns are played, honor salutes to all the branches of the services are made and the “Commandants Letter” is read by a retired Marine officer present. Another tradition celebrated each year is the cutting of the birthday cake with the first and second slices reserved for the youngest and oldest Marine in attendance. Recognition is also rendered to any special attendee who has been awarded honors for his or her service to the Marine Corps. Those who wish to attend this year’s “Gathering” with wives and guests are encouraged to contact Commandant Patenaude at 603-253-7970 or via email at RPPatenaude@aol.com as soon as possible to ensure reservations or mail a check for $45 per person to Lakes Region Detachment, MCL, P.O. Box 628, Wolfeboro Falls, New Hampshire, Postal Code 03896.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: Due to many complicated family issues, I’ve been estranged from my adult daughter for the past 10 years. However, she has a college-aged daughter with whom I’ve managed to maintain a decent and, I thought, loving relationship. Last month, I was on “Chelsea’s” Facebook page. I’ve been proud of her success in college, her happiness with friends and the experience of living away from her mother. However, her friends posted a couple of remarks on her Facebook page that bothered me. I emailed her that these issues may not be any of my business, but I was concerned for her personal safety, etc. She quickly replied that this was indeed none of my business, and she made excuses for the Facebook comments. I expressed how disappointed I was with her attitude since I was only worried about her. We haven’t spoken since then, and frankly, I cannot excuse her bad behavior toward me. But Chelsea doesn’t have a great many family members, and I would like to mend this rift. My own friends have pointed out that “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Any suggestions? -- Concerned Grandpa Dear Grandpa: Chelsea is young and living independently for the first time. She doesn’t want her grandfather (or anyone else) to tell her how to live her life. You were undoubtedly right to be concerned about her safety, but it came across as criticism, and she was not receptive. If you want to fix this, you will have to make the first move. Send her an email or post something on her Facebook page that is positive and complimentary. Say nothing about the previous disagreement, and hope she is equally willing to let it go. Then start fresh. We hope someday Chelsea will be mature enough to appreciate your advice. But right now, please tread lightly. Dear Annie: I’ve read letters from women who complain
because their men are spending time and money secretly watching porn. I suspect most men are like me. I am 64 years old. I was married for 24 years. Except for our sex life, I was truly happy right up until the day she said she had a boyfriend and wanted a divorce. I always wanted more physical contact than she did, but she viewed that as “my” problem. When she said “no,” she meant it, and she said it often. Meanwhile, she decided I was “oversexed.” I found that porn allowed me, at least in fantasy, to get some of the release I needed. We divorced 11 years ago. I am now the luckiest man on Earth because I found a genuine partner. Not only is this 60-year-old woman mature, successful, loving, liberated and modern, but she still enjoys sex. We kiss and hug. We enjoy touching that doesn’t always lead to sex, and when we do have sex, we want to please each other. I haven’t thought about watching porn since we met. Women should ask themselves whether they are contributing to the behavior they abhor, and what they could bring to the relationship to make it better. -- Problem Solved Dear Solved: In most troubled relationships, both parties contribute to the problem to varying degrees. The important thing is for each person to address their own weak spots and then work to make the relationship better. Dear Annie: This is in response to “S.,” who is uncomfortable telling the doctor’s receptionist what the medical problem is. My husband had severe chest pains and called to make an appointment. He thought it was indigestion. When he explained the problem to the receptionist, she told him to hold on while she notified the doctor, who told him to get to the emergency room immediately. As it turned out, he’d had a heart attack and needed a quadruple bypass. Had she just scheduled an appointment, things could have turned out much worse. -- Grateful

Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund adds verification step to application process MEREDITH — The Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund, an integral member of Meredith’s many civic organizations, continues to nurture its impressive mission - to bring holiday cheer and a practical boost
to those Meredith and Center Harbor families and senior citizens who need a little additional assistance at Christmas. The Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund committee mem-
PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth State University Theatre Program will present Jim Leonard’s Anatomy of Gray October 18–21 in the Hanaway Theatre at the Silver Center for the Arts. Anatomy of Gray is co-directed by Professor Elizabeth Daily and 2000 alumnus Robin Marcotte. Jessica Toltz, a senior theatre arts major from Bedford, is assistant director. A PG show with religious undertones, Anatomy of Gray is a play for all ages. The drama is set in a small Midwestern town full of small Midwestern charm. Yet the people of Gray are missing one thing: a doctor. One manages to arrive in the nick of time, however—blown in while riding a hot air balloon in a tornado. While the doctor inspires intrigue among the townspeople, the question remains—is he actually doing them more harm than good? As an ensemble production with minimal set, Anatomy of Gray is a learning experience for the actors involved. “The focus is on fine-tuned acting,” says Daily. She is particularly excited about the simplicity of the show, which will allow the physicality and inven-
tiveness of the actors to shine. She believes that audiences will walk away from Anatomy of Gray with the knowledge that “we must accept that life is always in transition,” and “our family is always with us and we must not ever forget where we came from.” The cast includes Tomer Oz, a junior theatre arts major from Exeter; Haley McKenney, a sophomore theatre arts major from Marshfield, Mass.; Allison Porter, a senior theatre arts major from Middleboro, Mass.; Beau Fisher, a junior theatre arts major from Nashua; Shaylah Kelly, a senior theatre arts and psychology major from Meredith; Eben Brown, a senior music education major from Dorchester; Anna Smith, a senior theatre arts major from Manchester and Sarah LaCount, a junior theatre arts major from Manchester. Performances are October 18 at 8 p.m., October 19 at 7 p.m., October 20 at 2 and 8 p.m., and October 21 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors, $10 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 5352787 or (800) 779-3869.

bers have already held several meetings to discuss and to finalize several important changes that will hopefully signal a very successful annual endeavor. These changes apply to the application process. This year the committee will be initiating a verification procedure for all those families needing assistance. For those families, the first step will be to pick up an application form from various locations including Inter-Lakes Elementary School, Inter-Lakes High School, CAP, Meredith Community Center, Meredith Police Department, Center Harbor Town Office, Visiting Nurses of Meredith and Center Harbor, or download it from interlakeschristmasfund.com. After the application has been adequately completed, send it to - Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund, P.O. Box 1516, Meredith, NH 03253 – or drop it off at one of the locations listed above. The Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund committee members will begin accepting these forms by Thursday, Nov. 1. Once the completed application has been received, an Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund volunteer will contact the applicants and schedule a brief interview. For more information regarding the process or about getting involved in the Inter-Lakes Christmas fund call 937-0301, or email info@interlakeschristmasfund.com.
